No full textIn the article, based on both previously unknown and published documents, there
is considered the history of the underground struggle of Valentin Vyacheslavovich
Kamler in the territory of the city of Saki of the Crimean ASSR. The author used
materials from: the funds of the State Archive of the Republic of Crimea, the archival
department (municipal archive) of the administration of the city of Saki, the museum
of local history and mud therapy of the city of Saki.
The actions of the underground workers are analyzed, including the following
aspects: anti-fascist propaganda and agitation; collection, manufacture and storage
of ammunition, military equipment; intelligence activities; the attraction of personnel
from Nazi-allied foreign military contingents to the side of the Soviet government.
In this work for the first time since the end of the Great Patriotic War, the names
of the provocateurs who extradited V. V. Kamler and his associates to the Nazi
special services and the police, are named. The publication is addressed primarily to
researchers of the underground resistance movement, local historians and publicists
Human-machine interaction for unmanned surface systems
No full textThis research investigated the human-machine interaction (HMI) technologies for human-robot teams operating as unmanned surface systems (USS). An pilot role was found to be the most prevalent in the USS-related literature but additional human roles were determined to likely be necessary (e.g., Mission Specialist} though were not documented; interface needs have not yet been determined for any role. The human interfaces used by 67 Micro and Small X, Intermediate, Harbor, Fleet, and E,F,G-Class platforms were examined and it was determined that: i) the research literature does not well characterize the human roles present in unmanned surface systems, ii) domain complexity may necessitate increased automation of the robot platform for the human team, and iii) that unmanned surface vehicles likely lay on the human-machine interaction spectrum between unmanned ground vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles. This work is expected to serve as a reference for future design and refinement of human interfaces for USSs and as a foundation for better understanding HMI in USSs.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2017-05-01The student, Saki Handa, accepted the attached license on 2015-04-17 at 15:34.The student, Saki Handa, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2015-04-17 at 15:43.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2015-04-20 at 08:26.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #7928 on 2015-07-22 at 14:25:21Made available in DSpace on 2015-07-22T22:45:31Z (GMT).

HEDGES BY SAKI USED IN THE PEACE OFFERING SHORT STORY
No full textHedges are used to convey meaning, ideas, and attitude for someone. Generally, they are used in the spoken form. Eventually, there will be differences style between speaking and writing forms. As Vande Kople states that hedges are viewed showing lack of full commitment to the propositional content of an utterance. Speaker can use hedges to bargain their offerings to the hearer. The degree of probability can be shown in the hedges through the word: can, could, would, should, seem, etc. The authors may use hedges in their stories in order to make readers wanders within the stories. The aim of this study is to reveal the types and to describe the reason the hedges used in the characters of this short story. Moreover, this study wants to reveal the reason of hedges used in this short story. “The Peace Offering” is one of the short stories written by Saki. Saki has a lot of works which famous in the literary works. The data is selected from the book entitled Chronicles of Clovis. The steps to analyze the data are searching the data from the internet, reading the short story, finding the hedges, classifying the types of hedges, and finding the reason why the authors used those hedges within character’s utterances. The result shows that the types of hedges also used in those short story. The mostly hedges used are modal auxiliary verbs, such as might, can, could, would, and should. The other types of hedges belong to adjectival, adverbial, and nominal modal phrase; aproximators of degree, quantity, frequency, and time; and compound hedges. The reasons why the author used those hedges are showing the character meet the style of writing and short stories to show the reader how the reader speaking and writing form this shot story
Case study on the public / private relationship in high-density low-rise residential areas of central Tokyo
No full textThesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2012.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 114-116).This thesis starts with the interest in the undefined open spaces of high-density low-rise (HDLR) residential areas in Tokyo. In these spaces, one can witness numerous examples of overlapping public and private uses. For example, public streets are often appropriated as private gardens by a subtle but prominent gesture by residents to place many potted plantations on the street. These phenomenons contribute to the vitality and safety of the neighborhood, as well as reflecting an effective use of space in a limited inner-city environment. The aim of this thesis is to propose a housing development strategy that nourishes these qualities of the HDLR residential environment. The proposal seeks to provide an alternative to prevailing high-rise developments, to allow for more flexibility between public and private spaces. This thesis is a hypothetical and academic exercise, which builds up on premises based on current statistics and characteristics of the project site. The design maintains and starts with the inherited urban fabric of the HDLR site, and proposes an individual renewal process of houses that collectively metamorphosize into an environment with greater sharing of public and private space. This neighborhood will continue to evolve as the population and lifestyles of residents change in the future.by Saki Mizuguchi.S.M

No full textInvestigation of Some Biochemical Parameters in Subject with HbSC and HbSS in Saki West Local Government -a Rural Community in Nigeria Corresponding Author
No full textAbstract Background: HbSS and HbSC are a group of genetic blood disorders. They are examples of sickle cell diseases.The complication of sickle cell disease could affect spleen, brain, eyes, lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, penis, joints, bones, or skin. Aim and Objective: This work was designed to measure plasma ALT, AST, Albumin,Se, Zn and Uric acid in HbSS and HbSC patients in Saki-West Local Government area of Oyo state-Nigeria. Materials and Methods: HbSS and HbSC patients in crisis and in non-crisis steady state classified into HbSC (n=25) and HbSS (n=25) aged 10 to 31 years were recruited as test subjects for the study. Apparently healthy 50 HbAA volunteers classified into female (n=25) and male (n=25) aged 10 -50 years were also studied as control. Subjects residing in Saki-West for not less than 5 years were recruited as test and control subjects. Plasma Albumin, Uric acid, ALT(Alanine Transaminase), AST(Aspartate Trans aminase) were determined biochemically bt spectrophotometry.Plasma Zn (Zinc) and Se (Selenium) were measured by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. Results: The result obtained showed a significantly higher mean value of plasma ALT and AST in HbSC and HbSS than HbAA with p<0.05. The result also showed a significantly lower plasma selenium mean value in HbSC and HbSS than HbAA with p<0.05 This biochemical alterations including plasma Zn was more in crisis than in non-crisis steady state. Conclusion and Recommendation: Decreased plasma level of Selenium and increased plasma AST and ALT were found in HbSS and HbSC patients. This biochemical alterations including plasma Zn was more in crisis than in non-crisis steady state
Anthracene-Based Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis, Structure, Photoluminescence, and Radioluminescence Properties
No full textFour anthracene-based lanthanide metal-organic framework structures (MOFs) were synthesized from the combination of the lanthanide ions, Eu3+, Tb3+, Er3+, and Tm3+, with 9,10-anthracenedicarboxylic acid (H2ADC) in dimethylformamide (DMF) under hydrothermal conditions. The 3-D networks crystalize in the triclinic system with P-1 space group with the following compositions: (i) {{[Ln2(ADC)3(DMF)4�DMF]}n, Ln = Eu (1) and Tb (2)} and (ii) {{[Ln2(ADC)3(DMF)2(OH2)2�2DMF�H2O]}n, Ln = Er (3) and Tm (4)}. The metal centers exist in various coordination environments; nine coordinate in (i), while seven and eight coordinate in (ii). The deprotonated ligand, ADC, assumes multiple coordination modes, with its carboxylate functional groups severely twisted away from the plane of the anthracene moiety. The structures show ligand-based photoluminescence, which appears to be significantly quenched when compared with that of the parent H2ADC solid powder. Structure 2 is the least quenched and showed an average photoluminescence lifetime from bi-exponential decay of 0.3 ns. On exposure to ionizing radiation, the structures show radioluminescence spectral features that are consistent with the isolation of the ligand units in its 3-D network. The spectral features vary among the 3-D networks and appear to suggest that the latter undergo significant changes in their molecular and/or electronic structure in the presence of the ionizing radiation

Synthesis of anthracene and stilbene-containing metalorganic frameworks and their behavior in fluorescence based detection of nitroaromatic compounds and adsorption of carbon dioxide, respectively, 2020
No full textThis research focuses on the synthesis of anthracene and stilbene-containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for use in addressing two major environmental concerns; the detection of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs), and the capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. MOFs are multi-dimensional coordination polymers (CPs) made by linking organic ligands and metal ions. A series of lanthanide metal ions (Pr3+, Nd3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, Tb3+, Dy3+, Ho3+, Er3+, Tm3+, and Yb3+) combined with the ligand, 9,10-anthracenedicarboxylic acid (H2ADC), under solvothermal conditions, afforded ten new isostructural 2-dimensional (D) layered MOFs. Each layer is composed of intersecting open rings from the linking of covalently bonded -Ln-ADC-Ln- species (Ln = lanthanide). The Ln-ADC structures showed ligand-based fluorescence with fast component excited state lifetimes, τ1, in the range of 0.087 to 0.986 nanoseconds (ns). The structures showed ligand-based emission, with spectra blue-shifted compared to the free H2ADC which are attributed to the rigidified isolated monomeric ligand species. The Ln-ADC MOFs were effective for the fluorescence-based detection of NACs (nitrobenzene, 4-nitroaniline, 2,4-dinitrodiphenylamine, and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine) based on collisional quenching phenomena as determined by linear Stern-Volmer plots. The quenching constants, Ksv, were in the range of 2.1 x104 to 1.8 x 105 M-1. The combination of the ligand, 2,2’-diamino-4,4’-stilbenedicarboxylic acid (H2DASDC), with lanthanides (Er3+, Tm3+, and Yb3+) and transitional metal (Cd2+) ions, under solvothermal conditions, afforded three new isostructural non-interpenetration 3-D Ln MOFs and a 1-D cadmium CP. All structures exhibited ligand-based fluorescence. Whereas the fluorescence from the Ln-DASDC and H2DASDC were quenched, the Cd-DASDC structure showed strong fluorescence and a radiative lifetime of 0.80 ns. The combination of the ligand, 2,2’-dinitro-4,4’-stilbenedicarboxylic acid (H2DASDC), with bipyridine co-ligands, and a range of transition metal ions yielded nine new 1-D and 3-D Tm-DNSDC MOFs (Tm = Co, Mn, Ni, and Zn). At 1 atm, the Co and Mn-DNSDC MOFs showed CO2 adsorption capacities of 1.84 mmol g-1, 2.17 mmol g -1, 1.22 mmol g -1 at 256, and 273 K. The adsorption isotherms were best fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich models, and the heats of adsorption values < 50 kJ/mol, indicated that physisorption occurred on heterogeneous surfaces of the Tm-DNSDC structures
Quelques termes désignant le lieu et le temps d'un point de vue sémantique
No full textThis study has as its basis, certain terms (kondo, tsugi, saki, ato, mae, ushiro, uchi, soto, naka) originally having a spatial meaning, which was later extended to include time. The usage of some of these words may seem paradoxical, as the same term can, depending on the context, refer to the past or to the future, to anteriority or to posteriority. This usage is understandable if one accepts that the Japanese language does not make use of a single system of representation of time, but of three, the distinction lying in the opposition between wagakoto («one's own affair») and hitogoto («others' affairs»).Cette étude prend pour base certains termes (kondo, tsugi, saki, ato, mae, ushiro, uchi, soto, naka et aida) qui ont à l'origine une signification spatiale qui s'est par la suite étendue au temps. Le comportement de plusieurs d'entre eux peut paraître paradoxal, car le même terme pourra, selon les cas, référer tantôt au passé, tantôt au futur, désigner tantôt l'antériorité et tantôt la postériorité. Ce comportement pourtant s'explique si l'on accepte que la langue japonaise ne met pas en jeu un seul système de représentation du temps mais trois, dont la distinction reposerait sur l'opposition entre wagakoto («le fait du moi») et hitogoto («le fait de l'autre»).Watanabe Minoru.
