No full textCertain functional identities involving a pair of generalized skew derivations with nilpotent values on Lie ideals
No full textLet R be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, Q(r) its right Martindale quotient ring, L a non-central Lie ideal of R (i.e., L,R not equal 0), n >= 1 a fixed integer, F and G two generalized skew derivations of R, associated with the same automorphism alpha of R. If (F(xy)-G(x)y)(n) = 0, for any x,y is an element of L, then there exists a is an element of Q(r) such that , for any x is an element of R, unless when R satisfies the standard polynomial identity s(4)(x(1), ..., x(4))
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Blocking Probabilities in WDM Switching Networks using Overflow Analysis Method
No full textWavelength Division Multiplexed switching networks are considered as an important candidate for the future transport networks. As the size of network increases conventional methods used in teletraffic theory to model these networks become computationally difficult to handle as the state space grows exponentially. In this research we have applied overflow analysis to model these networks. Our results show that moment analyses using equivalent random theory (ERT) results in accurate approximations for the modeling of WDM switching networks
NiTi 및 NiTiCu 독립형 박막의 기계적 특성
No full text학위논문(석사) - 한국과학기술원 : 기계공학과, 2021.2,[v, 42 p. :]Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have been an active field of research for decades. SMAs are being extensively used in functional devices because of their ability to have an elastic strain of up to 10%. With the rapid advancement in MEMS technology, it is necessary to characterize the behavior of SMAs at a thin-film scale. However, fabrication of SMAs at a thin-film scale is still a challenge and requires extensive optimization of the process parameters. The reported research is conducted with a goal to pave the way towards the utilization of NiTi and NiTiCu thin-films in MEMS devices. The research reports an optimal process window for both NiTi and NiTiCu thin-films.한국과학기술원 :기계공학과
STAPHYLOCOCCUS CASSETTE CHROMOSOME MEC TYPING OF METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS STRAINS PREVAILING IN HAYATABAD MEDICAL COMPLEX, PESHAWAR
No full textIntroduction: Methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aureus is a very potential human pathogen, and its significant antibiotic resistance further complicates the management of this pathogen. Methicillin resistance in S. aureus is conferred by the presence of SCCmec elements but there are different types of SCCmec in MRSA which results in the need of typing of SCCmec elements.
Material & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the current antibiotic resistance pattern and prevalence of different types of SCCmec elements in the circulating MRSA at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. A total of 60 non repetitive MRSA isolates collected from pus aspirate and wound swab were enrolled in the study. All the MRSA isolates were tested by disc diffusion method against the ten antibiotics and further subjected to the SCCmec typing through two multiplex PCR reactions.
Results: Out of the total tested MRSA isolates 80% were resistant to Ciprofloxacin, 63.4% to Erythromycin, 58.4% to Gentamicin, 55.0% to Cotrimoxazole, 51.6% to Tetracycline, 48.4% Fusidic acid, 46.6% to Clindamycin, 35.0% to Doxycycline, while Quinupristin/Dalfopristin and Linezolid kill 100% strains of the MRSA included in the study. SCCmec typing of MRSA isolates showed that prevalence of SCCmec type-III was 3.3% (3/60), types-IV was 58.3% (35/60), and type-V was 38.3% (23/60).
Conclusion: The studied MRSA showed worrisome resistance, but Quinupristin/Dalfopristin and Linezolid kill all the strains of MRSA. The prevalence of SCCmec types IV and V is very high which indicates that the circulating MRSA clone are community associated, because they harbour SCCmec type IV and V
