Explanatory Talk in Low-Income Families' Mealtime Conversations.
|
The purpose of this article is to outline the types and frequency of explanatory talk that occur in naturalistic conversations of low-income families of preschoolers. Thirty-one families participated in the study, tape-recording family mealtimes when their children were 3, 4, and 5 years old. A total of 75 transcripts were collected and analyzed for the presence of nine categories of explanatory talk, including intentional, causal, evidential, definitional/descriptive, procedural, and consequential. Explanatory talk consisted of conversation concerning some connection between objects, events, concepts, and/or conclusions that one speaker is pointing out to another. The most frequent type of explanations fell into intentional categories, which accounted for more than half of all segments of explanatory talk.

|
Online Virtual Classroom using SIP is another alternative for the users who have the network constrain. The system composes of two user agents, which are the teacher’s user agent, and the student’s user agents. Both user agents contain three main functions: slides control, live text chat, and 2-ways real-time voice communication. The user agents are compatible with an Open source SIP server called “Asterisk”. No modification is required on the SIP server. The purposed system allows the teacher, and the student to communicate via text chat and real-time voice with a low bandwidth connection. PowerPoint files would be loaded into the students’ computers before the class start. The slide control module will synchronize the slides between the teacher and all students. The system also supports voice communication using SIP and RTP.

The Focused Assessment With Sonography For Trauma (FAST) Examination And Pelvic Trauma: Indications And Limitations.
|
Abstract Pelvic trauma accounts for only 3% of all skeletal injuries but may have mortality as high as 45% in cases of severe trauma. Significant high-grade-mechanism trauma to the pelvis must always take the abdomen into consideration for evaluation. The focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) examination has been shown to be a valuable tool in assessing the unstable trauma patient with blunt abdominal injury, though its diagnostic utility is much less well-defined than in primary pelvic trauma. This systematic review explores the utility and limitations of the FAST examination in patients with blunt pelvic trauma and discusses the timing for the examination during the trauma survey. Newer techniques for emergency department management of the unstable trauma patient are also addressed.

Abstract.Malnutrition occurs frequently prior to lung ::: transplantation (LTR), but patients gain weight after LTR. The ::: study aimed to determine the ratio changes of fat-free mass ::: (ΔFFM): changes of body weight (ΔBW) during refeeding. A total ::: of 37 LTR patients were measured for weight and FFM and body fat ::: by bioimpedance analysis at 1 month post-LTR, then annually for ::: 3 years. Linear regressions determined the ratio ΔFFM:ΔBW during ::: refeeding. ΔFFM was: year- 1=1.822+0.389* ΔBW, ::: r2=0.397; ::: yr-2=0.611+0.246* ΔBW, r2=0.441; ::: yr-3=-0.17+0.208 * ΔBW, r2=0.319. ::: Refeeding during year-1 in thin subjects resulted in a ratio ::: ΔFFM:ΔBW of 0.389, whereas the change in ratio ΔFFM:ΔBW during ::: year- 2 and 3 was 0.246 and 0.208, respectively. Refeeding ::: resulted in a larger ratio ΔFFM:ΔBW in thin subjects versus ::: normal and overweight subjects. Thus, refeeding in underweight ::: LTR patients is geared to normalizing depleted FFM, whereas ::: later FFM gains were similar to FFM gains in normal and ::: overweight subjects.
|
Background: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) can be valuable in evaluating the fat-free (FFM) and fat masses (FM) in patients, provided that the BIA equation is valid in the subjects studied. The purpose of the clinical evaluation was to evaluate the applicability of a single BIA equation to predict FFM in pre- and posttransplant patients and to compare FFM and FM in transplant patients with healthy controls. Methods: Pre- and posttransplant liver, lung, and heart patients (159 men, 86 women) were measured by two methods—50-kHz BIA-derived FFM (FFMBIA) by Xitron instrument and DXA-derived FFM (FFMDXA) by Hologic QDR-4500 instrument—and compared with healthy controls (196 men, 129 women), aged 20 to 79 years. Results: The high correlation coefficient (r = .974), small bias (0.3 ± 2.3 kg), and small SEE (2.3 kg) suggest that BIA using the GENEVA equation is able to predict FFM in pre- and posttransplant patients. The study shows that the lower weight seen in transplant men and women than in controls w...

Tetrazolo[1,5-a] quinoline derivatives bearing in teh 4-position various thiazolidinone 3a-c, 5a-c and 7a-c, thiazinone 8a,b, thiazoline 9a-d and thiadiazoline 10a,b moieties have been synthesized and evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity and antimicorbial properties. The synthetic routes involved the reaction of tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoline-4-carboxaldehyde 1 with amines and hydrazines to give the corresponding aniles 2a-c and hydrazones 4a-c respectively. The latter compounds when treated with thioglycolic acid, furnished the corresponding thiazolidinone derivatives 3a-c and 5a-c. Moreover, thiosemicarbazone 6a-c derives were subsequently cyclized by various reagents giving rise the title compounds. Some of the products proved to possess potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Load tests on drilled shaft foundations in moderately strong to strong limestone
|
AbstractThree drilled shaft foundations (DSFs) were constructed in moderately strong to strong limestone at the Siloam Springs Arkansas Test Site (SSATS). The embedment lengths within the limestone were 3·0, 1·5 and 2·1 m for the DSFs with diameters of 1·2, 1·8 and 1·2 m, respectively. The DSFs were instrumented to facilitate cross-hole sonic logging testing and full scale load testing using bidirectional load cells (BLCs). Lessons learned from construction included the: (1) proper concrete pouring techniques; (2) ability to retrofit improperly installed telltale instrumentation; and (3) influence of rock socket length within moderately strong to strong limestone. Recommended design, construction and testing techniques in moderately strong to strong limestone are presented. Based on the full scale testing, t–z model recommendations for weathered limestone and moderately strong to strong limestone are presented and discussed.

Synthesis and Basic Optical Properties of New p-Conjugated Thiophene-Pyridine Co-oligomers

The π-π * absorption peak of Py-Th-(Th) m -Th-Py (390-440 nm) is observed at a longer wavelength than that of Th-Py-(Th) m -Py-Th (345-410 nm) with the same m number. These UV-vis data are considered to reflect a charge transfer (CT) interaction between the thiophene (donor) and pyridine (acceptor) units. 4a-6a, 5b, and 6b show photoluminescence in a range of 430-540 nm and give quantum yields (Φ) of 20-40%. 4b affords a high quantum yield of Φ= 71%. A linear correlation holds between the π-π* transition energy and the inverse of the number of the aromatic units [1/(m+4)] for the 4a-6a and 4b-6b series.

A joint study assesses U.S. states on corruption, accountability and transparency .
Five states get B grades, 19 get Cs, 18 scored Ds and eight were considered failing .
"State ethics, open records and disclosure laws lack one key feature: teeth," the report says .
New Jersey gets the highest score and Georgia gets the lowest in report .
|
(CNN) -- Most American states are doing a subpar job in protecting against corruption and assuring accountability, according a study released Monday. The joint report -- from the Global Integrity nonprofit advocacy group, Public Radio International and Center for Public Integrity investigative news organization -- used data on a host of measures to score all 50 states. No state received an A grade, while five got Bs and 19 were given Cs. The majority got grades that would be considered not passing in American schools, including 18 Ds and eight with failing grades. "What's behind the dismal grades? Across the board, state ethics, open records and disclosure laws lack one key feature: teeth," said an overview of the report written by Caitlin Ginley from the Center for Public Integrity. The report assessed 330 "Corruption Risk Indicators" across 14 aspects of government such as ethics enforcement, lobbying disclosure, auditing practices and executive, legislative and judicial accountability. The top-ranked state, after an analysis of these measures, was New Jersey. It got a score of 87, equivalent to a B+. It was followed closely by Connecticut. The only three other states earned above-average scores of B- or better: Washington, California and Nebraska. On the other end of the spectrum was Georgia, which ranked at the bottom of the report's rankings when it came to transparency and accountability. Citing one reason for Georgia's failing grade, the report claimed "more than 650 government employees accepted gifts from vendors doing business with the state in 2007 and 2008" despite this being a clear violation of state ethics laws -- adding that the state hadn't issued a related penalty since 1999. The Peach State wasn't alone in scoring an F. It was joined by South Dakota, Wyoming, Virginia, Maine, South Carolina, North Dakota and Michigan. The report's overview notes that low grades in some sparsely populated Western or Plains states may be attributable to "libertarian roots, a small-town, neighborly approach and the honest belief that 'everybody knows everybody' (that) has overridden any perceived need for strong protections in law." But overall, the study concludes that many failings are preventable, whether by giving more power to ethics boards, bolstering penalties, increasing openness and transparency, or taking stronger measures to decrease the influence of money in politics. This is despite some public steps in recent years aimed ostensibly at fighting corruption. "State officials make lofty promises when it comes to ethics in government. They tout transparency of legislative processes, accessibility of records and the openness of public meetings. But these efforts often fall short of providing any real transparency or legitimate hope of rooting out corruption," wrote Ginley. The report offers a number of examples. One is former West Virginia Gov. Arch Moore, in office for three terms in the 1970s and 1980s, who went to a local dealership and took a car on a "test drive" and ended up keeping it for four years, while the dealership earned state contracts. Then, the report references a North Carolina legislator who owned five billboards and sponsored a bill to loosen billboard construction regulations, with an ethics commission finding no violations. And it also faults a Tennessee ethics commission that hasn't issued a penalty in its six years in existence and that doesn't make complaints available to the public. Scandals and a history of political corruption can be prime drivers of effective reforms, according to the report, which points to the positive measures taken in New Jersey, Illinois and Louisiana. It also credits widespread improvements in transparency, in which legislation and "some government records are easier to retrieve than ever." But Ed Bender of the National Institute on Money in State Politics says in the report that such information often isn't presented in an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand format. Ginley, in the report's overview, also claims the study found that "lobbyists find ways" around even retooled laws and that "across the board, enforcement is weak." "When it comes to money, influence and power in state government, interest groups and big-money donors will find ways around just about any limit," she wrote.

Solitary Confinement Is What Destroyed My Son, Grieving Mom Says
|
This week, an unusual coalition of corrections officers and policy experts will come together in Washington, D.C., with one common goal in mind — to limit the use of solitary confinement for juveniles. The campaign has enlisted some powerful voices to warn about the harms of isolation for young people. Venida Browder lost her son twice: first to the lock-up at Rikers Island in New York, and then to suicide. "Solitary confinement is what destroyed my son," she said. Browder's 16-year-old son, Kalief, was accused of stealing a backpack. But he refused to plead guilty to something he said he didn't do. Instead, he spent years in detention, waiting for a trial that never happened. "He was a child being locked up for 23 hours a day for nearly two years," Browder said. "That's enough to destroy a man's mind, let alone a child's." Browder said her son tried to hang himself at Rikers. When corrections officers found him, he got a beating — and more time in isolation. Eventually, authorities dropped the prosecution. Kalief came home, got a GED and took classes at community college. But Browder said her son was struggling. "The look on his face — physically he was here, but mentally he wasn't," she said. "And it was too many days like that. It just overpowered him." Kalief Browder took his own life last year. Criminal justice researchers said that story is all too common. "Young people who are held in solitary confinement have the worst outcomes, and that includes being at very high risk of suicide," said Marc Schindler of the nonprofit Justice Policy Institute. Schindler, a former youth corrections administrator, is helping to lead the Stop Solitary for Kids campaign that will kick off at an event at the National Press Club in Washington on Tuesday. The coalition wants to end the use of isolation for juveniles, who are especially vulnerable because their brains are still developing. Its members include JPI, the Center for Children's Law and Policy, the Council of Juvenile Correctional Administrators and the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform. Too often, advocates say, facilities use solitary as a catchall — a place to house young people who won't follow the rules or as a warehouse for kids with mental illness. "People are increasingly seeing that the use of solitary confinement is a counterproductive approach," Schindler said. That includes people like Christine Blessinger. She is executive director of the Division of Youth Services in Indiana's Department of Corrections and works closely with the American Correctional Association. Blessinger has signed on to the national movement to sharply limit isolation for juveniles, a move she said Indiana started to adopt years ago. The state recruited staff who wanted to work with young people and had them wear polo shirts instead of police uniforms. "We actually redefined the purpose of isolation, using it just as a temporary response to behavior, you know, if the youth threaten or harm others, and then returning them back to general population programming as soon as possible," she said. Ohio, Massachusetts and Oregon have moved in that direction too. Earlier this year, President Obama banned solitary for the tiny fraction of young people in federal prisons. Venida Browder said that's all good, but there's a lot more work to do. "I don't want another mother to have to spend a lifetime sentence like I am," she said. "I mourn every day." She said she doesn't want to see any more children damaged like her son was. RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST: An unusual coalition will come together in Washington, D.C., this week. Their goal is to limit the use of solitary confinement for juveniles. NPR's Carrie Johnson has this story. CARRIE JOHNSON, BYLINE: Venida Browder lost her son twice - first to the lockup at Rikers Island in New York, and then to suicide. VENIDA BROWDER: Solitary confinement is what destroyed my son. JOHNSON: Browder's 16-year-old son, Kalief, was accused of stealing a backpack, but he refused to plead guilty to something he said he didn't do.

One of the missing journalists e-mailed Monday about the danger in Libya .

(CNN) -- Four journalists for The New York Times, including two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony Shadid and MacArthur "genius grant" recipient Lynsey Addario, are missing in Libya, the newspaper said Wednesday on its website. Editors at the paper said they had last been in touch with the journalists Tuesday morning, U.S. Eastern time, according to the report. It said the newspaper received secondhand information that "members of its reporting team on the ground in the port city of Ajdabiya had been swept up by Libyan government forces." However, the newspaper has been unable to confirm those reports, Executive Editor Bill Keller said on the newspaper's website. "We have talked with officials of the Libyan government in Tripoli, and they tell us they are attempting to ascertain the whereabouts of our journalists," Keller said. "We are grateful to the Libyan government for their assurance that if our journalists were captured they would be released promptly and unharmed." A battle raged Wednesday in Ajdabiya between government troops and rebels. Bob Christie, senior vice president for corporate communications at The New York Times Co., said Wednesday that the Libyan government told the newspaper it was unaware of the journalists' whereabouts. "They've told us they have a lot of prisoners and that they're processing them" and suggested that the four could turn up in that process, Christie said. Libyan government forces said Wednesday that they have no information about where the journalists may be and that, if they were picked up by the Libyan military, they would be returned to Tripoli. The newspaper identified the journalists as Shadid, its bureau chief in Beirut, Lebanon, and two-time Pulitzer winner for foreign reporting; Stephen Farrell, a reporter and videographer who was kidnapped by the Taliban and rescued by British commandos in 2009; and Tyler Hicks and Addario, photographers who have covered the Middle East and Africa. "Their families and their colleagues at The Times are anxiously seeking information about their situation, and praying that they are safe," Keller said. Addario, a freelancer based in India, recently won a MacArthur Fellowship -- known as a "genius grant" -- for her photography around the world. In an e-mail Monday to CNN correspondent Ivan Watson, Addario called the Libya story "one of the most dangerous" of her career. The e-mail said, "qaddafi's forces heading back east, and the rebels are surrendering along the way...so exhausted. this story has been one of the most dangerous i have ever covered. getting bombed from the air and by land." Addario's husband, Paul de Bendern, told CNN that his wife travels to conflict zones because they're powerful stories. He was anxious to see his wife's return. "It's very difficult. We're here, we're waiting. I want my wife back," said de Bendern, who is bureau chief in New Delhi, India, for Reuters. "Lynsey is a very smart woman, funny and brave," he added. "She's very passionate about what she's doing. ... She tells the world of these important things with the beauty of her photography." While working as a foreign correspondent, Shadid was shot in the shoulder by the Israeli Army in Ramallah in spring 2002. Farrell routinely reports from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq. Before joining The New York Times in 2007, he worked for the Times of London. In April 2004, he was kidnapped while on assignment in Iraq. Hicks, a staffer for the paper, is based in Istanbul and has served as an embed in Afghanistan. In a 2004 interview with the StarNews of Wilmington, North Carolina, Hicks described how he felt about his job: "Covering conflicts is a very rewarding experience because you can bring attention to global issues. When I'm working and a photograph appears in The New York Times, I always remind myself of who is seeing that photograph" and the number of people it may have reached, he said. "That is when I can go to bed at night and feel good about what I have done that day." Hicks and Addario are both from Westport, Connecticut. CNN's Tommy Evans in Brega, Libya, and Ivan Watson, Tom Cohen, Tom Watkins and Michael Martinez contributed to this story.

Due to the special structure and aerodynamic configuration, the flutter characteristic analysis of T-tail empennage is complicated and the flutter speed is influenced by flight condition and some parameters that had been omitted, e.g. stabilizer dihedral. To solve these problems, the influence of the dihedral of horizontal-stabilizer, the steady lift on horizontal-stabilizer and oscillatory modality on T-tail flutter are analyzed. The special additive unsteady aerodynamic using in T-tail flutter is investigated especially, and it is been established that the analytic approach of unsteady aerodynamic and flutter for T-tail. In order to validate analytic method, the experimentation of reduced scale T-tail model was carried out in the low speed wind tunnel. According the result, the special aerodynamic of T-tail affects mainly the form of bend-torsion coupling of fin. The flutter speed descends with attack angle increasing of stabilizer, and it can improve the flutter speed by using the negative dihedral in design. According the theoretical analysis of test result, the mechanism of T-tail effect is explained and some suggestion is given for practical design.
|
A T-tail’s structural design is a complex engineering problem, and multiple factors are often taken into consideration, especially flutter failure. This approach combining sequential quadratic programming and multi-island genetic algorithm handles this design problem. In the first stage, the use of sequential quadratic programming can rapidly assist in initial design by obtaining a proper model for the next optimization, with the weight as an optimization goal, subjected to constraints in conventional performance. In the second stage, multi-island genetic algorithm is used to optimize the previous result model with special requirements, mainly referring to flutter speed. The optimization-analysis results are compared and discussed with insight into the use of sequential quadratic programming and multi-island genetic algorithm. In light of the second optimization, the special flutter performance of the T-tail is illustrated, again. Improving the torsional stiffness of the horizontal tail increases the flutter speed.

Optimal schedule generation for a single-product production line—II. Identification of dominant unique path sequences
|
Many of the feasible path assignments for the MINLP formulation of the production line scheduling problem presented in Part I result in equivalent schedules. A dominant set of path assignments is identified which allows the path assignments for several stages to be determined simultaneously. A combinatorial analysis of the set of all feasible path assignments reveals there areO (NP) equivalent assignments for each operationally and rotationally-unique simple path sequence. An enumeration procedure is developed to identify those assignments which result in unique path sequences. The overall solution methodology is illustrated with an example.

Description of a simple synthetic diet for studying nutritional responses in ants
|
A chemically defined diet is a powerful tool for the study of nutritional physiology. We have developed a simple, standardized diet for Rhytidoponera ants to facilitate experiments on nutrititional regulation and nutrient balancing in these ants. Colonies of Rhytidoponera metallica were fed with a standardized diet, containing a 1:2 ratio of total proteins to digestible carbohydrates. After 8 weeks, colony performance (number of brood raised, the mass of pupae, and the mortality of workers) was superior to that of colonies fed with Bhatkar-Whitcomb diet and similar to colonies fed with Drosophila and honey-water.

James Rogers and the Bristol slave trade
|
This article examines the business failure of James Rogers, a large Bristol slave trader, within the context of the operation of the late British slave trade in west Africa, on the Middle Passage, and in the Caribbean. Based on a large cache of surviving manuscripts, the article shows that the credit crisis of 1793 led to the demise of Rogers's mercantile career but also that his business collapse stemmed from over-extending his slave trading activities, from relatively poor profit levels, and from attempts to expand his trading portfolio in the eighteen months before the national financial crash.

Psychiatric services remained virtually unknown in Nepal until 1961. The first psychiatric outpatient service was started in 1961, at Bir Hospital, Kathmandu. In 1984, the Psychiatry Department at Bir Hospital was separated and a mental hospital was created, which was later shifted to its current location at Lagankhel, Patan, in Kathmandu valley, in 1985. It is the only mental hospital in Nepal with a current bed strength of 50 beds. The new era in medical learning and teaching was ushered in Nepal with the establishment of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) under the Tribhuban University and the 400-bed Tribhuban University-Teaching Hospital (TU-Teaching Hospital), in the year 1983. BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS) at Dharan was established in 1993, as a part of the joint Indo-Nepal collaboration on developing an international standard teaching, training, and research-oriented medical institute similar to AIIMS, New Delhi. During the last one-and-half decades a number of privately run medical colleges have come up in Nepal. Outpatient and inpatient Psychiatry Departments have been established in most of these government as well as private medical institutes. At present, the postgraduate course (MD) in psychiatry has been running in two government-run institutes as well as three privately run medical colleges. Indian psychiatrists have played and are still playing significant roles in establishing as well as maintaining Psychiatry Departments, especially in the private sector medical colleges. They have also contributed to the growth of psychiatry research and postgraduate teaching in psychiatry, in Nepal.

Mental health and Psychiatry are relatively new as a medical specialty in Nepal. Psychiatry and its issues are still the matter of stigma, mystery, ignorance and negligence not only in public but also in professional and policy-maker level. It is yet to receive its due space in health policy in terms of: program, priority and resource allocation. Despite of some achievements in mental health field (service, teaching and research), they are too far from satisfaction. Along with other responsibilities in this pretext, a department of psychiatry of a teaching institute naturally bears on its shoulder a huge burden of spreading scientific information, adding to literature and destigmatizing mental health issues. The fact, data, information and awareness is a main means of changing present situation. This article intends to briefly outline the milestones, major attempts, achievements and publications in this direction, of Department of Psychiatry of B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), a prominent centre for the medical education, service and research in Nepal. The basis of this review are: Journals, Abstract-books, BPKIHS Annual Reports, Thesis, other research works, Internet search, books, papers and personal communication with both concerned faculty members and students coming into the knowledge of the author.

Adenocarcinoma accounts for 75 - 85 % cases of primary carcinoma of gall bladder. The mucinous adenocarcinoma is a very common primary malignant neoplasm of GI tract, but this histological variant is nonexistent in gall bladder. Porcelain gall bladder is another rare finding in routine cholecystectomy specimen and regarded as precancerous lesion. We present a case of 50 years old female who came to OPD for yellowish discoloration of sclera and itching all over the body for three months. On USG there was a hetero echoic lesion approximately 3.8cmx2.7 in the neck region of gall bladder suggestive of gall bladder mass.

Macro Help -- "Beckon" Leves
|
So I've prowled the various macro posts and sadly couldn't find the answer I was seeking, and thus come to you for help, reddit:
I'm sure many of you have done the leve quests where you have to /beckon an NPC to safety. Considering that this usually means targeting and un-targeting them as you fight the mobs that spawn along the way, it can be a real hassle. So I thought: why not make a macro that just /beckon-s my focus target? Easy, right?
Not so much. I've tried more than a couple variations and they don't really work:
/beckon <focus>
/beckon <focustarget>
/beckon <f>
/beckon <ft>
None of those worked. I DID find one that worked:
/ta <focus>
/beckon
And that worked great on NPCs and players running around where I was (to their confusion as I tested it, probs). So I thought I had it working fine. So I started the levequest -- for the record, it was the one to guide the sylph at Hawthorne Hut.
And the macro didn't work! I made the sylph my target [EDIT TO ADD: my focus target], untarget-ed it, stood right next to it to make sure range wasn't an issue, and hit the macro. It apparently skipped the "/ta <focus>" line, and then I /beckoned to nobody.
Did I do something wrong, or are macros just not working terribly well when it comes to temporary levequest NPCs? I dunno why this works in town, but not while doing a leve.
