As the amount of critical process data increases due to automatic data acquisition systems, two problems present themselves. First, it becomes uneconomic to add sufficient staff to monitor all these processes using control charts, and second, the skill level required to observe and interpret the control charts becomes an ongoing issue of assuring accuracy and consistency via expensive training programs.An automated control procedure could conceivably provide a solution to both of these issues.
In this study, aza-Michael reactions between 1- phenylmethanamine and α,β -unsaturated cyclohexenones were investigated, using lipase from Candida antarctica. The reactions were performed in various organic solvents (CH2Cl2, hexane, MeOH, toluene, THF) under mild conditions, with orbital shaking and microwave irradiation. The reactions showed good results in the presence of CALB, yielding the Michael adducts and imines. The reaction products were analyzed by GC-MS and in some cases it was found that the reverse aza-Michael reaction had occurred.
This paper deals with construction of a mixed quadrature rule of precision nine by using Gauss- Legendre 3-point rule, Lobatto 4-point rule and Clenshaw-Curtis 5-point rule, each having precision five. This mixed rule is successfully tested on different real definite integrals.
Kolàšeg is locatedat about 6 kilometers southeast of the modern town of Guilan-eGharb in west of KermanshahProvince. The site lied in between Mià-khesh and Tagh-tooghmountains; the KolàšegRiver was passing through the valley during the near past, Locating in the reservoir of the Kolàšegdam and in order to do rescue excavation,the site was excavated by the IranianCenter for Archaeological Research (ICAR) expedition for a season in 2004. The site is composed of two parts; a residential area and a cemetery on a platform locating at the foothill of the Mià-kheshMountains. The residential part is situated downward, at the south of the graveyard close to the KolàšegRiver located in the south. We could not excavate the whole site because of large span of the site and time limitation;especially the cemetery of the sitehas almost remained intact. The excavationmethod leads to revealing the vast architectural remains. The architecture was made of stone both foundation and walls. The excavation has revealed us a large number of noticeable abject related to the Iron Age III such as Pendants, Armament, Potsherds and Glass sherds and Objects; of them, are Fibulas and a Cylindrical Seal which are very important for dating the site.The comparative study of the material has also proved that the site can definitely be related to the Iron Age II, III relying on some marks on the Assyrian appearance in the region by the given time.
Purpose: This research aims to examine the manager’s behaviour about the capital structure adjustment in relation to the bankruptcy risk, profitability and the asset tangibility. Design/methodology/approach: Data of all industrial sectors of Jordan from the period of 2009-2011 is used for this research. Simple linear regression model is used for data analysis along with the descriptive stats. Findings: High survival probability (low bankruptcy risk) and profitability is positively related with the capital structure (debt equity ratio) but asset tangibility is negatively related with the capital structure. Originality: Significant strength of effect of bankruptcy risk is defined in this paper so that financial analysts and investors can have information about the chances of bankruptcy of the firms in industrial sector in Jordan. This study is creating value in the literature by considering the factor of risk for the firms in the developing country. This study explains the capital structure maintained by the managers by considering the bankruptcy risk and how the profitability and asset tangibility are contributing to the capital structure formation. This paper also gives information to the analysts and investors about the agency problem by considering the behavior of managers regarding debt equity mix.
28 fetuses affected by late onset (34-36 weeks of gestation) growth restriction and 77 appropriate for gestational age fetuses (AGA) have been enrolled . Objectives: Aim of this study is to explore the possible use of 3D power Doppler ultrasound angiography (3D-PDA) in the assessment of cerebral blood flow distribution in growth restricted fetuses (FGR) compared to normal fetuses. Methods: 28 fetuses affected by late-onset FGR (34-36 weeks) and 77 appropriate for gestational age fetuses (AGA) were enrolled. Two regions of interest (ROI) of the fetal brain were scanned. The first ROI (named Frontal Zone), sprinkled mainly by anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and the second ROI, (named Temporal Zone), sprinkled by middle cerebral artery (MCA). We analysed 3D-Power Doppler Angiography (PDA) indexes: VI (vascularization index), FI (flow index), VFI (vascularization-flow index). Results: All the fetuses included in the late-onset FGR group had normal UA PI and normal MCA PI. Instead, VI and VFI values were increased in the Frontal Zone and decreased in the Temporal Zone comparing with the control group. Conclusions: 3D-PDA of fetal brain could recognize regional variations of brain perfusion in late-onset FGR without any pathological 2D Doppler. The phenomenon of preferential increment in blood supply to the frontal region (“frontal brain sparing effect”) may protect general cognitive functions, occurring while MCA PI has not demonstrated signs of deterioration yet.
Objective: Assess the oculomotor and motor performance of infants without neonatal risk factors. Method: Twenty six term infants without neonatal risk factors were selected. Infants were six months old when they had their motor and oculomotor performance assessed respectively using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale and the Optokinetic Nystagmus, this latter was assessed using a drum with white and black stripes interspersed with each other. Ratings were recorded on video and motor and oculomotor performances were assessed and scored by two evaluators who have been trained and are blind to the study. For data analysis, X2 for reliability analysis and the Mann Whitney test for correlation of continuous variables. The significance level was 5% for every analysis. Results: It was found 15% of assessed infants showed motor development abnormalities and only one infant showed no Optokinetic Nystagmus movement. Conclusion: Term infants have abnormal motor performance and can present absence of optokinetic nystagmus.
The aim of this study was to produce PK rock biofertilizer with Acidithiobacillus mixed with earthworm compound inoculated with free-living diazotrophic bacteria (NPKB) and bioprotector (NPKP) that introduce in NPKB the fungi chitosan by inoculation of Cunninghamella elegans. A field experiment was carried out in a Brazilian tableland soil at the rainy season (March-August, 2011) to evaluate the effects of NPKB and NPKP on green pepper (Capsicum annuum). The study was a factorial (8x2) conducted in split plot design with eight fertilizer treatments and two sub treatments (with and without crustaceous chitosan applied on leaves), with four replicates. The fertilizer treatments were: mineral fertilizers (NPKF) at the recommended rate (RR); Biofertilizer (NPKB) at three rates (50% RR, 100% RR, 150% RR); Bioprotector (NPKP) at three rates (50% RR, 100% RR; 150% RR); Control with earthworm compound (2.4 L plant-1). The best fruit yield was obtained with the highest rate of PNPK and NPKB application. There were significant influences in nutrient uptake by the different fertilization treatments. In the experiment, no case of soft rot disease was observed; therefore, it was not possible to compare the treatments in this respect. The results indicate a great potential for PK rock biofertilizer with free-living diazotrophic bacteria (NPKB) and bioprotector with fungi chitosan (NPKB + C. elegans) as an alternative to NPK fertilization.

The present study is an attempt to decompose the changes in output growth in India since 1983-84. For analysis purpose, study has bifurcated the whole period into two parts i.e. pre (1983-84 to 1993-94) and post (1993-94 to 2006-07) reforms period. Input-Output tables for the year 1983-84, 1993-94 and 2006-07 have been utilized for this purpose. Due to non-availability of recent Input-Output table, the analysis of the recent years (2007-08 to 2012-13) has been done using the data from different Economic Surveys provided by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India. The study utilized structural decomposition analysis to categorize the different sources of output growth. While comparing the two study periods, results show that for the primary sector (1 to 11) there is rise in private consumption and government consumption expenditure. However, percentage share of exports and investment expenditure in primary sector have declined over two periods. In secondary sector (12 to 44), there is a sharp increase in percentage share of all demand categories. For tertiary sector (45 to 58), the increase has been shown in investment expenditure, imports and exports only. Further, it is the average growth of final demand which holds the largest share in change of output growth over the study period. Among the five categories of final demand, domestic demand (sum of private consumption, government consumption and investment expenditure) is the dominant source of output growth in both the periods. It shows that Indian economy has a very strong domestic market.
