Pak energiearmoede gericht aan
No full textDe verduurzaming van onze woningvoorraad is naast een technische operatie ook een verdelingsvraagstuk. Huishoudens met lage inkomens in slechte woningen moeten prioriteit krijgen bij het renovatiebeleid. En totdat iedereen in een duurzaam huis woont, moeten huishoudens die in de knel komen door hoge energieprijzen, worden gecompenseerd.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Urban Development Managemen

Determining Pak Rupee Exchange Rates vis-à-vis Six Currencies of the Industrial World: Some Evidence Based on the Traditional Flow Model
No full textPak-rupee exchange rates vis-à-vis many currencies of the industrial world have weakened continuously and persistently since Pakistan abandoned fixed exchange rates in April 1982. This proposition is strongly supported by descriptive test statistics, as shown in Table 1, such as mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation of six Pak rupee exchange rates—against the U.S. dollar, British pound, German mark, Japanese yen, Swiss franc and French franc—over the period 1982q1-2000q4. Based on these descriptive statistics, it is evident that Pak rupee has depreciated persistently against all currencies of the industrial countries in question over the period under investigation; for example, it has depreciated by 324.05 percent against the British pound, 406.360 percent against the U.S. dollar, 344.53 percent against the French franc, 498.48 percent against the Swiss franc, 477.78 percent against the German mark and 986.25 percent against the Japanese yen since April 1982. As evidenced by coefficient of variation, Pak rupee has weakened enormously against all currencies of the industrial world, while it has weakened relatively more alarmingly against the Japanese yen, Swiss franc and German mark.
Use of pyridoxine-alpha-ketoglutarate (PAK) in hepatic encephalopathy
No full textPyridoxine-alpha-ketoglutarate (PAK) was administered to patients with high blood ammonia levels and with clinical signs of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Plasma concentrations of ammonia decreased and clinical symptomatology improved. The activity of PAK was greater than that of lactulose in lowering blood ammonia levels but not significantly different in its relief of neuropsychic symptoms
HAMILTONIAN METHODS FOR NONLINEAR SIGMA-MODELS
No full textNonlinear sigma models are studied in n space dimensions with values in a coset space G/H as infinite dimensional Hamiltonian systems. An "intrinsic" formulation is discussed in terms of coordinates on G/H, an "embedded" formulation in terms of fields satisfying a constraint and a "lifted" formulation in terms of fields having values in G/H, where H is a normal subgroup of H. The coupling of the sigma model to Yang-Mills fields with structure group G is then considered, and it is shown that this system is equivalent to a massive Yang-Mills theor
Colloidal engines for innovative tests of information thermodynamics
No full textRecent theoretical developments in information thermodynamics elucidated the link between the acquired information and the entropy production through measurement and feedback control by generalizing the fluctuation theorems and the second law of thermodynamics. We summarize here our recent experimental studies based on the colloidal system that have been conducted to test the theoretical findings of information thermodynamics. In particular, we present the design principles of error-free and noisy information engines consisting of a colloidal particle in an optical trap that is capable of performing nearly error-free measurement and ultrafast feedback control. Our perspectives on future experimental studies are also presented. ?? 2020 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group

KK; 10. Id., underside; 11. S. (S.) persepolis, ♀, upperside, same data, ex coll. KK; 12. Id., underside. Description. Male (plate 1, figs. 1–2). Head: antenna black, white-ringed at bases of segments, club dark with brown tip. Eye surrounded by a white stripe, brown with very short rare hairs. Frons grey with black hairs on the sides, top of head with black and white scales. Palpi: 2 nd segment white with black spot on base; 3 rd segment black outside, white inside, with white scales on top. Thorax: upperside brownish-grey with grey hairs, underside grey with white hairs. Legs white with black scales and white hairs. Abdomen: upperside brown, underside white. Forewing: upperside dark-brown, base of forewing lighter than rest of wing. Androconial patch on forewing welldeveloped, black, rather small, wedge-shaped. Outer margin black. Fringe dirty-white, with brownish hairs. Underside grey, outer margin dark-brown, underlain by a whitish strip. Spaces Cu 1 and M 2 bear well-developed black spots with bluish-grey scales basally, spaces A 2 and M 1 with very small reduced black spots. White postdiscal line well-developed in all spaces except A 3, staircase. Hindwing: upperside dark-brown, outer margin black. Underside grey with somewhat lighter veins and bluish scales in basal area. Outer margin dark-brown underlain by a white strip. Tail black with white tip. Fringe dirty-white, with brownish hairs, anal lobe small, marked with brush of black hairs. White postdiscal line rather broad, J-shaped (smoothly inwardly curved), underlain by blackish-brown strip. Pattern of submarginal spots poorly developed, black spots with traces of white scales small, reduced in all spaces except space Cu 2 with large, triangle internal black spot underlain by V-shaped white stroke, orange intermedial stroke and small external rounded spot. Space A 1 with diffused patch of bluishgrey and dark scales, internally underlain by two white strokes; space A 2 with small orange anal spot, small black stroke on inner margin underlain by white line connected with postdiscal line. Ground colour of upperside varies from nearly black to dark-brown, ground colour of underside—from light- to dark-grey, postdiscal line has different thickness among individuals. Hindwing submarginal spots vary between a whole set to almost completely reduced. Forewing length 12 mm in the holotype and 11–15 mm in paratypes. Male genitalia (plate 2, fig. 1). Falces oblique, pointed on tip; valvae short, fail to reach tegumen, with rhomboid basal part and shorter narrow distal bluntly-ended part bearing short thorn; vinculum inwardly with very small lateral projections; saccus rather short and broad (as broad as half of vinculum), with rounded tip. Aedeagus short, about 1,3 x genitalia length, rather broad, with deflected apex of sclerotized keel. Significant variations are absent. Female (plate 1, figs. 3–4). Similar to male. Forewing length 10–16 mm. Female genitalia (plate 2, fig. 4). Lamella postvaginalis rounded, antrum funnel-shaped, laterally gradually convergent, turns into short ductus bursae; bursa membranous, with two very large bidentate signa. Papillae anales long, narrow, gradually convergent to top, apophyses posteriores short (about 1,3 x of papillae anales length) and broad. Significant variations are absent. Distribution. Known only from the type locality (plate 3, fig. 1) and from Koh-i-Baba Mts. Biology. Butterflies locally inhabit scrub near riversides, ravines, banks of irrigation channels, rarely individual shrubs along roads and trails at 2850–3500 m. Strongly seasonal, the imagoes fly from the beginning of July till August. Host plant is probably Prunus sp. (Rosaceae) (plate 3, figs. 2–3) Etymology. The new subspecies is named after Yuriy Skrylnik, one of the collectors of the type series. Diagnosis. Combination of external and genital characters, namely pale veins, solid smooth postdiscal white line on hindwing underside, structure of valva with stout rounded basal portion and broad rounded saccus in the male genitalia determine the position of the new species within the Iranian complex of species and distinguish it from S. (S.) mirabilis and S. (S.) deria. Externally the most allied species is S. (S.) sassanides, but it has different structure of the male and female genitalia. On the contrary, S. (S.) persepolis has somewhat similar genitalia but has very distinctive external differences. Externally S. (S.) skrylniki differs from both species by slightly inwardly concaved, rounded postdiscal line on hindwing underside (J-shaped against nearly L-shaped thin line in S. (S.) sassanides, and just slightly bent line in S. (S.) persepolis) and strongly reduced black dots in submarginal area on hindwing underside. The structure of the male genitalia of S. (S.) skrylniki strongly differs from that of S. (S.) sassanides by much more slender valvae (which are also rather short and bluntly ended though) with rhomboid basal part, and not so stout aedeagus with bent sclerotized keel; S. (S.) persepolis has apically pointed thin valvae, which are longer than in S. (S.) skrylniki, and slender long aedeagus with straight keel. The female genitalia somewhat resemble those of S. (S.) persepolis but have long and rather narrow rounded lamella postvaginalis; genitalia of S. (S.) sassanides differs by having very broad rhomboid lamella postvaginalis and broad antrum connected with corpus bursae by very short stout ductus bursae. Populations of the new species are strictly isolated both from S. (S.) sassanides and S. (S.) persepolis, as the first one is found only in Zagros mountains in South-Western Iran (Fars Province), while the second species is distributed over a vast in Iran in provinces Esfahan, Fars, Kerman, Sistan-va-Baluchistan (Eckweiler & ten Hagen 2003; Weidenhoffer et al. 2004). S. (S.) skrylniki wasn’t found in Hindu Kush Mts., and apparently it occurs at the eastern edge of the distribution area of the complex as an Iranian element in the fauna of Central Afghanistan. It is noteworthy that Clench & Shoumatoff (1956) mentioned a female specimen of « Strymon sassanides » from Mt. Shah Fouladi (Koh-i-Baba range) collected on the 10 th of August at 3000 m. They noted that it agrees perfectly with Persian specimens except for the smaller size, and differs from the Western-Himalayan subspecies [sic] deria. Taking these notes into consideration we believe that this specimen belongs to S. (S.) skrylniki. Another specimen with such traits (male), mentioned by Clench & Shoumatoff (1956) under the name sassanides, was found in vicinity of Herat (Western Afghanistan). Its status is under question, but we reckon it is not inconceivable that it also belongs to S. (S.) skrylniki. S. (S.) skrylniki resembles S. (S.) sassanides not only in appearance but also by their ecology: both species prefer subalpine zone of mountains at altitudes near 3000 m and fly mostly in July (Eckweiler & ten Hagen 2003), whereas S. (S.) persepolis prefers lower altitudes and flies earlier (Eckweiler & ten Hagen 2003; Churkin & Pletnev 2010). PLATE 2. Satyrium (Superflua) spp., genitalia. Scale bar equals 1 mm. 1. S.
