    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

    [[alternative]]The study of p53-mutated human non-small cell lung cancer cells transfected with HerpesSimplex Virus type I- thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) cDNA

    [[abstract]]In view of the functional loss of tumor suppressors being associated to drug resistance in most of lung cancers, we have demonstrated dose-dependent ganciclovir (GCV)-induced cytotoxicity following delivery of recombinant prodrug herpes simplex virus type I thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) cDNA in highly metastatic and tumorigenic human non-small-cell-lung cancer (NSCLC) cells H1437 with mutant p53 (R267P). It is found that cells with acquisition of HSV-tk cDNA conferred GCV susceptibility to the selected clones and the effect proved proportional to the level of HSV-TK expressed both in vivo and in vitro. The inhibition of cell proliferation in culture and the regression of xenograft tumors in nude mice were demonstrated caused by triggering senescence program as a result of GCV exposure in the selected HSV-tk clones. The potent bystander effects both in vivo and in vitro systems was found correlated with HSV-TK expressed accordingly. In addition, H1437 cells underwent ecotopic transfer of HSV-tk lead to S- and G2/M-phase arrest after GCV induction prior to emergence of senescence-like phenotype that expression of the senescence marker SA-β-gal and enlarged and fattened morphology. And we also observed that transfectant cells were growth-retarded after drug treatment by PKH67 fluorescence detection. To address more in-depth mechanism leading to senescence phenotype, we identified two steps prior to cell death as triggered by senescence progression: (a) decreased expression and activity of telomerase (b) escalation of endogenous cell cycle modulators, cyclin A and cyclin B1. Taken all the work together, we concluded that HSV-tk/GCV system constitutes an effective treatment in human NSCLC cells with mutated p53 and the pathway leading to cell death through senescence activation ought to become an alternative and effective approach in restraining growth of human NSCLC cells lacking functional p53.

    Aktsiaseltsis TK-Team ei ole varemalt finantsanalüüsiga tegeletud. Käesoleva bakalaureusetöö eesmärgiks oli uurida ja hinnata aktsiaseltsi TK-Team tegelikku finantsolukorda ning välja selgitada, kas ettevõtet juhitakse efektiivselt ning anda soovitusi finantsjuhtimise valdkonnas. Kasum müügikäibest on olnud 2009-2013 stabiilselt 9,5%. Maksevõime suhtarvud on head. Varasid ja varusid kasutab ettevõte efektiivselt. Ettevõte kasutab väga vähe võõrkapitali. Tasuvusnäitajad on samuti head. Autori soovitused edaspidiseks kasumlikuks finantskäitumiseks: põhivara investeeringud, vähendada debitoorset võlgnevust ning julgemalt kasutada finantsvõimendust suurendamaks kasumit tulevikus.Although there has been various calculations of ratios for annual reports, no actual financial analysis have been carried out within the TK-Team in the past. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate and evaluate TK-Team’s actual financial situation, to identify if the business has been managed effectively and give recommandations within the area of financial management. Sales turnover has been relatively stable over the past five years and profits have been an average of 9.5 per cent of sales turnover. TK-Team solvency ratios are very good. Efficacy analysis of the ratios shows that the usage of assets and inventory by the company is very effective. From the leverage ratios can be concluded that the usage of external capital by the company is very little. TK-Team economic profitability is very good. Author gives reccommendations for the company's management for future profitable financial behaviour: investments in fixed assets, deal with the reduction of exponentially increased accounts receivables, bolder use of financial leverage

    Modelling and control of a variable-speed switched reluctance generator based wind turbine

    No full text
    This paper studies the system modelling and control aspects of switched reluctance generator (SRG) based variable speed wind turbines. A control system is implemented to provide proper operation of the SRG as well as power tracking capabilities for varying wind speeds. The control system for the grid side inverter that will allow the SRG to properly generate power to the system is also presented. Studies are presented of both the SRG and inverter control systems capabilities during a balanced three-phase fault. The paper will demonstrate that the SRG based wind turbine presents a feasible variable wind speed solution with good fault response capabilities

    No full text
    The author designed a Curriculum Resource Guide for the TK-1 teacher using a Quality Circle Team approach. The intent of this practicum was to provide the TI-1 teachers with a Resource Guide to aid in curriculum planning for the TK-1 developmental placement class. After reviewing results of surveys given to TK-1 teachers in Kent County, a guide was designed based on the results and research of specialists in the field of developmental placement. At the conclusion of the project each member of the Quality Circle Team was asked to rate the final product using a criterion referenced evaluation form which addressed each of the ten components. Criteria for each section was (a) Is the message clear? (b) Is it educationally sound? (c) Does it fit the TK-1 grade level? Participants could respond yes, no, or unclear. Every item showed a unanimous yes response for each component. The achievement of leadership effectiveness was rated high. Recommendations were made to the PREP Office that the Curriculum Resource Guide should be considered for county adoption to be used by all TK-1 teachers and as a reference for other educators and parents. Appendices include surveys, evaluations, and the Curriculum Resource Guide for the TK-1 Teacher
