Previous issue date: 2019-06-21We present the first variational calculation of a room temperature \textit{ab initio} line list for
the CH radical. It is based on a high level {\it ab initio} potential energy surface and dipole
moment surface of CH in the ground electronic state. The ro-vibrational energy levels and Einstein
coefficients were calculated using the general-molecule variational approach implemented in the computer program
TROVE. Vibrational energies and vibrational intensities are found to be in very good agreement with
the available experimental data

Previous issue date: 2019-06-21We report first-principles variational simulation of the non-resonant Raman spectrum for methyl radical (CH) in the electronic ground state. Calculations are based on a high level \emph{ab initio} potential energy and polarizability tensor surfaces of CH and employ accurate variational treatment of the ro-vibrational dynamics implemented in the general code TROVE [S. N. Yurchenko, W. Thiel, and P. Jensen, {\it J. Mol. Spectrosc.} {\bf 245}, 126--140 (2007); A. Yachmenev and S. N. Yurchenko, {\it J. Chem. Phys.} {\bf 143}, 014105 (2015)]. We extend the capabilities of TROVE towards simulations of the Raman spectra, which can in be applied to arbitrary molecule of moderate size. The simulations for CH are found to be in a good agreement with the available experimental data
On locally contractive fuzzy set-valued mappings
No full textWe prove the existence of common fuzzy fixed points for a sequence of locally contractive fuzzy mappings satisfying generalized Banach type contraction conditions in a complete metric space by using iterations. Our main result generalizes and unifies several well-known fixed-point theorems for multivalued maps. Illustrative examples are also given.The third author thanks the support of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain, Grant MTM2012-37894-C02-01.Ahmad, J.; Azam, A.; Romaguera Bonilla, S.

Toolbox trolley / Muhammad Adam Shamsul Harisah, Faidhi Hasif Ahmad Roshidi and Muhammad Nur Hakim Hariri
No full textMalaysia plans to be a fully developed country by year 2020. Malaysia has achieved a good progress in the industrial sector. Nowadays, workers are working efficiently win the help of modem technology especially in industrial sector. Many types of trolley used for industrial activity such as trolley to carry heavy loads and trolley for tools placement. Trolley are widely used in industrial section, workshop, kitchen and many other production areas to help worker lifting or carry heavy objects and carry more loads to be moved from one location to another location. As we experienced working in industrial factory, most of equipment, parts, or any other personal belongings are place on the trolley. The main function of trolley used in factory is for easier to move or change of workstation arrangement at work. This trolley divided to many functions according to its purpose such as trolley the lifting mechanism to lift heavy or big parts to higher height, grill trolley for hang fittings cases, trolley toolbox store small and big tools which be brought around production are a, short trolley and longer trolley to carry long items. Some of workers are having a problem with tune as the y need to walk around production area to find tools or compatible parts to be used. They also have to face a problem of misplacing tools because tools are not well organized as it will take their time for returning the tools. Therefore, we came out with the idea to design a multipurpose toolbox trolley to cut the time of taking tools and act as a moving workstation. We decided to produce an innovative trolley with lifting mechanism , toolbox cabinet and extension wall for long items or more load to be carry. Workbench are also provided at top of toolbox for light operation works. However, we included every possible works production area such as operational, lifting, store items and carry items to be compact in standard trolley size. As it is, our main objective is to release a produc
Impact of New Technology on Reading Habits: A Glimpse on the World Literature
No full textReading helps in all-round development of a person from his birth to death. It adds new sight to eyes and new wisdom to mind. A dump person becomes a communicator and a lame climbs mountains of knowledge through reading. However, in the modern multimedia society, the radio, television, cell phone, computer and the Internet have captured a big slice of time and reading has taken a back seat. These new gadgets of technology have become the “Time Eating Machine” and reading has almost become a closed book. Children, youth and adults alike are more inclined towards new technology
for information, entertainment and pleasure. This paper attempts to summarize the literature available worldwide on this issue to identify the impact of new technology on
reading habits
Polyphony and the anxiety of influence in the fiction of Henry James
No full textJames's fiction, especially in the Middle Phase, centres
on the figure of the artist and is characterized by, the two
interrelated aspects which previous criticism has largely
overlooked: the Bakhtinian 'polyphonic' -creation of
'author-thinkers'; and the conflict between ephebes and
precursors, for which Harold-Bloom's concept of 'the-anxiety of
influence' is the most illuminating model. Polyphony is the
narrative mode, and influence is the intra-artistic, theme.
These, as the Introduction to the thesis makes clear, are
rehearsed in James's inaugural novel, Roderick Hudson. Rowland
Mallet is an author-thinker, and his failure is caused by
authorial limitations. His monologism -is impaired by his
mistaking empathy for the authorial sympathy. Likewise,
Hudson's failure does not arise from a mercurial temperament,
but from a polyphonic shortcoming: not possessing the power of
fiction to contain the fiction of power in, his mentor. And the
relationships among the three artists - Gloriani, Hudson and
Singleton - perfectly exemplify the Bloomian-theme. It is these
two concepts, polyphony and influence, which are the major
preoccupation in the Middle Phase; as, the works chosen
demonstrate. These are a novella, a novel, and a number of
short stories all of which have been unjustifiably neglected.
Chapter One, on The Aspern Papers, argues that Tina Bordereau,
far from being, the artless victim seen by many critics,
actually challenges and defeats the narrator by the very form
of her narrative. Her 'realist' discourse undermines his
language of 'romance', and shows up its internal unstability.
Chapter Two is an extensive study of the critical reception of
The Tragic Muse. The most common areas of critical attention
have been its contemporary topicality, its relation to previous
novels on similar themes, and the possible genealogy of Gabriel
Nash. Those have all missed the core of the work. - Chapter Three
demonstrates how polyphony and the anxiety of influence make
the novel what it really is. Influence arises from the
juxtaposition of, and the wrestling between, artistic ephebes
and their precursors (Nick and Nash,, Miriam and Madame Carre).
The dialogic quality defined by Bakhtin is crucial to the
proper, and even-handed, characterization of all, the conflicts
in the novel. And since most of James's tales in the eighties
and nineties -are about 'masters - and acolytes, the anxiety of
influence remains central. Chapter Four is a study of 'The
Author of Beltraffiol' and 'The Lesson of the Master'. Again the
characters' manipulations are a crucial focus in a way that
G6rard Genette's terminology helps to illuminate. The fact that
the ephebe is the author-thinker emphasizes the inextricability
of the Bakhtinian and the Bloomian in James. Just as
polyphony offers a different focus for explicating the poetics
of James's fiction; so the ephebal conflict provides the basis
for a fresh perception of James's own artistic struggle
Angiotensin II induces soluble fms-Like tyrosine kinase-1 release via calcineurin signaling pathway in pregnancy
No full textMaternal endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia is associated with increased soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), a circulating antagonist of vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a potent vasoconstrictor that increases concomitant with sFlt-1 during pregnancy. Therefore, we speculated that Ang II may promote the expression of sFlt-1 in pregnancy. Here we report that infusion of Ang II significantly increases circulating levels of sFlt-1 in pregnant mice, thereby demonstrating that Ang II is a regulator of sFlt-1 secretion in vivo. Furthermore, Ang II stimulated sFlt-1 production in a dose- and time-dependent manner from human villous explants and cultured trophoblasts but not from endothelial cells, suggesting that trophoblasts are the primary source of sFlt-1 during pregnancy. As expected, Ang II-induced sFlt-1 secretion resulted in the inhibition of endothelial cell migration and in vitro tube formation. In vitro and in vivo studies with losartan, small interfering RNA specific for calcineurin and FK506 demonstrated that Ang II-mediated sFlt-1 release was via Ang II type 1 receptor activation and calcineurin signaling, respectively. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized regulatory role for Ang II on sFlt-1 expression in murine and human pregnancy and suggest that elevated sFlt-1 levels in preeclampsia may be caused by a dysregulation of the local renin/angiotensin system
Centrality, rapidity and transverse momentum dependence of J/Psi suppression in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S=2.76TeV
No full textThe inclusive J/.nuclear modification factor (R-AA) in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 2.76TeVhas been measured by ALICE as a function of centrality in the e+ e-decay channel at mid-rapidity (| y| < 0.8) and as a function of centrality, transverse momentum and rapidity in the + -decay channel at forward-rapidity (2.5 < y < 4). The J/.yields measured in Pb-Pb are suppressed compared to those in ppcollisions scaled by the number of binary collisions. The RAAintegrated over a centrality range corresponding to 90% of the inelastic Pb-Pb cross section is 0.72 - 0.06(stat.) - 0.10(syst.) at mid-rapidity and 0.58 - 0.01(stat.) - 0.09(syst.) at forward-rapidity. At low transverse momentum, significantly larger values of RAAare measured at forward-rapidity compared to measurements at lower energy. These features suggest that a contribution to the J/.yield originates from charm quark (re) combination in the deconfined partonic medium. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B. V
