<TITLE> Exploring Visitors Experiences of Online Cancer Communities <ABSTRACT> Background There will be approximately four million people living with cancer in the United Kingdom UK by 2030. The National Health Service faces a major challenge meeting the support needs of this growing population, who commonly report feeling isolated and lacking social support. Approximately 45 million adults in the UK use the internet, and online communities might be a culturally relevant way to connect people affected by cancer, allowing them to support one another. However, internet communication is fraught with challenges such as misleading or untrustworthy information. We have a limited understanding of how people experience these communities and whether they can provide meaningful support for people affected by cancer. Aims To explore and understand the experiences and interactions of people affected by cancer who visit online cancer communities. Methods This was a qualitative study involving 23 people who had visited online cancer communities. Participants were affected by a range of cancers and were a combination of cancer survivors and families members. Semistructured interviews elicited participants experiences, preferences and perceived consequences of using online communities. Data analysis was guided by principles of Constructivist Grounded Theory. Findings Participants used communities to navigate the challenges they faced with cancer. This navigation produced three categories of experience in online communities. Firstly, advice from fellow community members set participants on a journey to become informed. Secondly, participants were cast into a journey to recreate identity as they connected and formed friendships online. Thirdly, participants discovered a journey through different online worlds to the most relevant and often hidden social communities. Conclusions This was the first qualitative indepth study exploring how contemporary online cancer communities are used by people affected by cancer. Online communities offered multifaceted opportunities to support the cancer experience, and they may promote selfmanagement in cancer care. These findings can inform and improve the delivery of existing online communities.

<TITLE> Secondorder interference with orthogonally polarized pseudothermal beams <ABSTRACT> We experimentally investigate interference pattern formation in secondorder intensity correlation considering the polarization state of pseudothermal light beams. By placing a double slit in one of the beams it is shown that the interference pattern depends on the polarization state of the light after the slits. When different parts of the double slit are aligned in different beams, we found that the interference is always observed, even for the case where the beams are orthogonally polarized. Our results are analyzed using a filtering process and indistinguishability of paths interpretation. Extensions of our findings to massive particles are also discussed.

<TITLE> Robust stabilization of interval ARMAX models via switching control <ABSTRACT> The robust stabilization of a family of stochastic plants described by interval ARMAX models is here considered. The solution proposed is given by a linear, timevarying compensator and by a supervisor. The compensator may assume a finite number of different, possible configurations, at least one of the which stabilizes the actual unknown ARMAX model. The task of the supervisor is to determine the switching instants of a scanning among the elements of the family, according to a suitably defined experimental test on the model output. The switching is stopped when the stabilizing configuration is attained.

<TITLE> Towards Sustainable Iron Ore Tailings Management Exploiting Versatile Reuse Opportunities for Environmental and Economic Benefits <ABSTRACT> Mining and refining of iron ore result in prodigious quantities of Iron Ore Tailings IOTs, necessitating urgent adoption of sustainable management practices. Depleted iron ore reserves underscore the untapped value of IOTs iron content. To minimize waste generation and optimize resource utilization, efficient extraction of iron content from ores is imperative. Accurate identification of ore seams during or before mining mitigates gangue and waste accumulation, resulting in cost savings in material processing, refining, transportation, and disposal. Recycling IOTs from older processing lines into newer, more efficient ones presents a promising avenue for sustainable resource utilization. Available options for IOT reuse span various domains. IOTs serve as building materials bricks, cement, concrete, providing costeffective alternatives. Road construction, embankments, and structural fills utilize IOTs as construction materials. Additionally, IOTs demonstrate versatility in manufacturing processes, including ceramics, foam glass, and geopolymerbased materials. Applications in paints, pigments, slowrelease fertilizers, and microcrystalline glass further expand the scope of IOT utilization. This study highlights the urgency of IOT reuserecycling for environmental and economic reasons. It underscores the wealth of available reuse options, emphasizing recyclings pivotal role in sustainable resource management. Examination of these potential applications charts the course toward environmentally conscious and economically viable management of IOTs. Article in AGU23 Website

<TITLE> Using repeated sources to quantitatively determine temporal change of medium properties Theory and an example <ABSTRACT> We develop a theory of using difference wavefields of repeated sources to locate and quantify temporal medium change and apply the theory to locate temporal change of seismic properties beneath the Japan subduction zone using repeated earthquakes. Our theory states the difference wavefields of two repeated sources in a temporally changed medium can be equivalently treated as wavefields propagating from conceptual sources, with their location at the place of temporal change and their strengths equal to the product of magnitude of medium property change and magnitude of the initial wavefields from the repeated sources. When the medium change extends to a finite region, the conceptual sources become volumetric sources distributed over the region of the medium change and propagating in the direction of the initial wave. The conceptualization establishes a theoretical framework for possible applications of using difference wavefields to locate and quantify temporal medium changes in geological sciences, ultrasonic experiments, civil engineering and medical imaging. We search repeating earthquakes occurring in the Japan subduction zone, formulate an empirical procedure to extract the difference wavefields between repeating earthquakes and determine temporal change of seismic properties using a backprojection method. We locate the temporal change of seismic properties beneath the Japan subduction zone to be at 37.2N, 142E, and estimate the magnitude of the conceptual body force associated with the temporal change to be 1.15 10 10 N, or as a reference, a 0.87 density change for an assumed volume of temporal change of 10 3 km 3 .

<TITLE> Progress in Broadening the Uses of Marrow Transplantation Donor Availability <ABSTRACT> Abstract. The use of bone marrow transplantation as a curative treatment for congenital immunodeficiencies is limited by the lack of available histocompatible sibling donors. The problems associated with mismatched donor transplantation and efforts to overcome these difficulties are discussed, as are results obtained in transplantation with partially matched related and unrelated donors. The use of haploidentical relative donors, an attractive option due to the wider availability of such donors, is explored, along with the consequent need for T cell depletion. Methods of T cell depletion are compared, and efforts at improving depletion methods are discussed.

<TITLE> An Adaptability Evaluation on Surface WaterSource Heat Pumps in Guilin, China <ABSTRACT> This paper evaluates the adaptability of the watersource heat pumps WSHP in urban Guilin. Volume data of all assessed water areas are obtained from decadeslong observations by Guilin hydrological station and government reports. Judging from data from the same sources and fresh samples, water quality in assessed areas generally meets the requirement in Technical Code for GroundSource Heat Pumps System GB 503662009. According to continuous measurement of temperature change in separate years, water temperature is basically suitable for demands in WaterSource Heat Pumps GBT 194092003. By assuming the assessed water areas as flowing waters, the maximum instantaneous heat capacity of each water area in each month is calculated. By setting the energy per square meter of building area needs as standard values, the maximum serviceable building area each water area can offer in each month is calculated. This paper can serve as guidance in adaptability evaluation on WSHP projects in hydrologicalalike environment.

<TITLE> Establishing a hospital program to improve antimicrobial use, control bacterial resistance and contain healthcare costs the University of Louisville experience. <ABSTRACT> Antimicrobials have been used in excess for decades. As a result, antimicrobial resistance and cost have increased. In response to this growing national problem, hospital antimicrobial teams were recommended in 1988, but few institutions have invested in comprehensive, interdisciplinary programs. The division of infectious diseases at the University of Louisville School of Medicine was a leader in 1990 by establishing an antimicrobial team at the University of Louisville Hospital and Veterans Affairs Hospital. This manuscript reviews the activities of the antimicrobial teams to create antimicrobial guidelines, evaluate antimicrobial use, and provide feedback to physicians. It also summarizes the successful impact the teams have had on optimizing antimicrobial use in the hospital by improving compliance with the guidelines, controlling resistant organisms, and preventing escalation of antimicrobial cost over the years.

<TITLE> Rethinking the Intercept Probability of Random Linear Network Coding <ABSTRACT> This letter considers a network comprising a transmitter, which employs random linear network coding to encode a message, a legitimate receiver, which can recover the message if it gathers a sufficient number of linearly independent coded packets, and an eavesdropper. Closedform expressions for the probability of the eavesdropper intercepting enough coded packets to recover the message are derived. Transmission with and without feedback is studied. Furthermore, an optimization model that minimizes the intercept probability under delay and reliability constraints is presented. Results validate the proposed analysis and quantify the secrecy gain offered by a feedback link from the legitimate receiver.

<TITLE> 포스트모던적 관점에서의 환경문제 <ABSTRACT> This study aims for understanding environmental issues with a postmodern view which entails Environmental Sound Sustainable Development ESSE. Modernism in earlier centuries respects human beings and appeals to reason, rationality, and logic. The belief that human beings are at the center of the universe postulated that we are innately allowed to develop nature according to our own purposes. Since the modernrationalist view since the Enlightenment viewed humans and nature as separate and nature as something to be possessed and used, the natural world was assessed in terms of economic value and then developed and thereby exploited. The safekeeping of the environment was never an issue under the perspective of modernism. However, the rise of postmodernism has provided environment professionals and the general public with a different view which leads to consider a more humane and natural integration and coexistence. The postmodern perspective values interaction of humans and the nature. Complementary cooperation between them is the key to appreciate the fact that human beings are a part of the biological net. With the help of postmodern perspectives, global environmental issues such as transboundary air pollution, ozone depletion, climate changes, and desertification might be actively discussed to find a solution since they are intertwined with other more complex and numerous matters.

<TITLE> Compliance with antibiotic prophylaxis in spinal fusion surgery and surgical wound infection. <ABSTRACT> Surgical wound infection is an important complication of spinal surgery. Antibiotic prophylaxis has served to decrease its rates significantly, with the ensuing reduction in hospital stay, costs, and morbidity and mortality. To date, a large assessment of the degree of compliance with antibiotic prophylaxis in spinal fusion surgery has not been undertaken in Spain with large prospective studies. We sought to assess the degree of compliance with our antibiotic prophylaxis protocol among patients who underwent spinal fusion surgery and its effect on surgical wound infection.A prospective cohort study was carried out. Six hundred and forty patients with at least 1year clinical followup who underwent spinal fusion surgery were included. Percentage of administration and degree of compliance with protocol was studied. Both overall and the different aspects of prophylaxis received by patients to those stipulated in the protocol in force at our hospital were compared. Percentages of compliance were assessed and the effect of prophylaxis compliance on the incidence of infection was estimated using the Relative Risk.The study covered 640 patients. Overall compliance with the protocol was 71.5 95 CI 67.9 75.1. The most frequent cause of noncompliance with the protocol was the duration of recommended antibiotic prophylaxis 77.8. Incidence of surgical wound infection was 4.1 95 CI 2.55.5. No relationship was found between surgical wound infection and antibiotic prophylaxis noncompliance RR 0.92, 95 CI 0.382.22.Compliance and administration of antibiotic prophylaxis were high. Surgical wound infection rate was similar to those found in the literature although there is always room for improvement.

<TITLE> Allelespecific PCR amplification of factor V Leiden to identify patients at risk for thromboembolism. <ABSTRACT> Resistance to activated protein C is the most common hereditary cause of thrombophilia and is significantly linked to factor V Leiden. We designed primers in order to identify factor V Leiden by allelespecific PCR amplification. Amplification specificity for factor V was ensured by a 3 primer located at the intron 9exon 10 border of the gene. One sense and two antisense primers were used in two separate primer mixes specific for factor V ARG506 wildtype or factor V GLN506 factor V Leiden. In each PCR reaction a pair of primers amplifying a fragment of the human growth hormone gene was included as an internal positive amplification control. The presence or absence of specific PCR amplification allowed definite allele assignment without the need for any postamplification specificity step. The internal positive control primers indicate a successful PCR amplification, allowing the assignment of homozygosity. In a prospective study 126 patients with thromboembolic events were analyzed using this technique and PCRRFLP. The concordance between these methods was 100. In 27 patients a heterozygous factor V GLN506 mutation was detected, whereas 1 patient with recurrent thromboembolism was homozygous. No falsepositive or falsenegative results were observed in the homozygous as well as heterozygous samples. Additionally, in 15 samples identified to carry the point mutation by allelespecific PCR amplification, automatic sequencing has confirmed the heterozygous or homozygous point mutation. Due to its time and costsaving features allelespecific amplification should be considered for screening of factor V Leiden.

<TITLE> High Incidence of Migration Inhibition Reactivity to Lung TumorAssociated Antigen by Normal Donors in Close Contact With Lung Cancer Patients or Materials2 <ABSTRACT> A high incidence of indirect leukocyte migration inhibition reactivity of normal donors to a 3M KCl extract from a fresh pleural effusion of a patient with a lung adenocarcinoma designated 7661 was observed. When these normal donors were classified according to contact with lung cancer patients or materials, 22 of 32 72 normal donors in contact with lung cancer patients or materials were reactive with the 7661 extract as compared to only 3 of 76 4 who had no contact. Of normal donors involved in the direct care of lung cancer patients, 14 of 20 70 were positive, whereas only 2 of 10 20 hospital personnel who worked with noncancer patients were reactive. Among laboratory personnel who handled blood and tissue specimens from lung cancer patients, 8 of 11 73 were positive with the 7661 extract, whereas none of 5 laboratory workers who worked with cancer materials unrelated to lung cancer were positive. Also, none of 13 personnel working in laboratories adjacent to those where lung cancer tests were performed were reactive with 7661. None of the 16 blood bank donors and none of 11 secretarial and clerical staff who worked in biochemical laboratories were positive. Reactivity was no correlated with a smoking history. Thus development of reactivity appeared to require direct contact with lung cancer patients or materials. The results suggested a horizontal transmission of reactivity against an antigen associated with lung cancer.

<TITLE> Scanning Electron Microscopic Analysis of Arterial Line Filters Used in Cardiopulmonary Bypass <ABSTRACT> Abstract The clinical value of arterial line filters is still a controversial issue. Proponents of arterial line filtration argue that filters remove particulate matter and undissolved gas from circulation while opponents argue the absence of conclusive clinical data. We conducted scanning electron microscope SEM studies of arterial line filters used clinically in the cardiopulmonary bypass circuits during adult cardiac surgery and analyzed the types and characteristics of materials entrapped in the arterial line filters. Twelve arterial line filters were obtained during routine hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass in 12 adult cardiac patients. The arterial line filter was a screen type with a pore size of 40 μm Baxter Health Care Corporation, Bentley Division, Irvine, CA, U.S.A.. After opening the housing, the woven polyester strands were examined with SEM. All segments examined 120 segments, each 2.5 2.5 cm contained no embolic particles larger in their crosssectional area than the pore size of the filter 40 μm. The origins of embolic particulates were mostly from environmental foreign bodies. This may suggest a possible need for more aggressive filtration of smaller particulates than is generally carried out at the present time.

<TITLE> Calculation Method for the Prediction of the Performance of a TravelingWave Thermoacoustic Cooler <ABSTRACT> When a traveling acoustic wave propagates through a regenerator, the gas in the regenerator undergoes the Stirling thermodynamic cycle, and thus, the energy conversion between heat flux and acoustic power takes place. A cooler that utilizes this energy conversion is called as a travelingwave thermoacoustic cooler. Swift et al. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 105, 711 1998 have proposed a new traveling wave thermoacoustic cooler that is equipped with a looped tube. This paper describes a numerical method to estimate the performance of this thermoacoustic cooler and shows a comparison between the estimated and experimentally obtained performances.

<TITLE> Defective nitric oxide homeostasis. Common underlying mechanism between insulin resistance, sympathetic overactivity and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. <ABSTRACT> Obesity, insulin resistance and associated cardiovascular complications are reaching epidemic proportions worldwide and represent a major public health problem. Over the past decade, evidence has accumulated indicating that insulin administration, in addition to its metabolic effects, also has important cardiovascular actions. The sympathetic nervous system and the Largininenitric oxide pathway are the central players in the mediation of insulins cardiovascular actions. Based on recent animal and human research, we demonstrate that both defective and augmented NO synthesis represent a central defect triggering many of the metabolic, vascular and sympathetic abnormalities characteristic of insulinresistant states. These observations provide the rationale for the use of pharmaceutical drugs releasing small and physiological amounts of NO andor inhibitors of NO overproduction as a future treatment for insulin resistance and associated comorbidities.

A patient is presented in whom splenectomy was carried out on the ninth day of age after bleeding had stopped. Diagnosis was suspected because of ecchymoses and a falling hemoglobin. Palpation of a mass, which was found to be radiolucent on total body opacification studies, confirmed the diagnosis. Spontaneous cessation of bleeding is rare and should not be anticipated when ruptured spleen is suspected in a newborn infant. Prompt surgical intervention is usually required if the patient is to survive.

<TITLE> Measurement Points Registration for Hull Blocks Based on Multiobjective Optimization <ABSTRACT> In shipbuilding accuracy control, the following problem is encountered. The measurement points are matched with design points manually with the engineering constraints not being considered. Thus the matching results are sometimes not reasonable. To solve this problem, this article presents an automatically matching algorithm for hull block based on multiobjective optimization. Principal Component Analysis PCA is applied to narrow the dislocation between measurement points and design points. Then the pairwise points are initially matched by Iterative Closest Point ICP. Engineering constraints are added to the objective function of the multiobjective optimization model. The error distribution is determined by setting weight vectors which control the constraints. The experimental results prove that the proposed algorithm can obtain the most reasonable matching result automatically which meets the engineering constraints. It can reasonably evaluate the error information of instruction thereby provide an instructive basis for subsequent assembly.

<TITLE> LOCAL LEADERSHIP MODEL TOWARDS A RESILIENT CITY IN SEMARANG MUNICIPALITY <ABSTRACT> This study assessed local leadership necessary for developing city resilience in the phase of more escalating, complicated and critical disaster phenomenon. The study departed from an assumption of the need for an effective and creative model of local leadership in order to transform risks into resilience, so that the city possesses a local capacity to develop Semarang as the resilient city. Leadership competency can be taught and trained by a leadership education and training under the Center for Education and Training of the Provincial Government of Central Java. Learning premise and practice of the leadership education and training in this study was formulated as follows 1 Why was the leadership of Semarang Mayor unable to improve effectiveness of state internal bureaucracy towards city resilience? 2 How was the model of local leadership necessary todevelop Semarang city resilience? and 3 What learning model of leadership education and training was effective to educate and to train the effective and creative bureaucratic leaders? Using a case study based qualitative approach, this study resulted in as the followings 1 the mayoral leadership concerning hazard and city resilience issues was proven effective, but was unable to improve the effectiveness of the state internal bureaucracy due to structural conflict 2 local leadership model related to disaster and city resilience issues that can be applied to Semarang Municipality is a congruent model with publicprivate partnership approach and 3 the effective learning model that can be applied to the leadership education and training is a constructivist learning model with an intuitive approach.

Três experimentos foram conduzidos, com resíduos de plantas cultivadas e seus extratos etanólicos e suas partições. Resíduos e extratos de culturas de aveia, ervilhaca, feijão, milheto, milho e trigo foram avaliados em condições controladas. Escleródios cobertos com resíduos de aveia, ervilhaca, feijão e milheto não germinaram carpogenicamente. Extratos etanólicos de resíduos de aveia e ervilhaca mostraramse eficientes na inibição da germinação carpogênica, enquanto que do milheto e do trigo não diferiram da testemunha. Todas as partições de extratos etanólicos avaliadas reduziram a germinação carpogênica. Resíduos vegetais afetaram negativamente o número de apotécios emitidos por escleródio.

<TITLE> A prospective study of circulating immune complexes in patients with breast cancer <ABSTRACT> Abstract Levels of circulating immune complex cIC and complement split product C3d were studied in 86 patients with breast cancer BC, 22 patients with benign breast disease BD, and 72 age and sexmatched bloodbank donors NC, using solidphase CIqprotein A RIA, CIqantiIgG RIA, antiC3d antiIgG RIA, and polyclonal IgMrheumatoid factor ELISA for cIC detection. No significant differences in cIC and C3d levels were found between the groups. The incidence of raised cIC levels varied from 4.9 to 8.2 in the BC group and from 4.5 to 22.7 in the BD group in comparison with 2.9 to 3.0 in the NC group. Using the solidphase polyclonal IgMrheumatoid factor ELISA we found that the cIC levels of patients with stageIII cancer were significantly higher than those of patients with stageI or stageII cancer. However, the other tests showed no relationship to tumor burden. Likewise, an effect of mastectomy on the cIC levels was also only detectable by one of the assays, i.e. , the postmastectomy levels of cIC as measured by the solidphase antiC3d antiIgG RIA were significantly lower than the premastectomy levels. Serial analyses of cIC and C3d levels were performed preoperatively, one month postoperatively and every 3 months during the first year after mastectomy in 46 of the patients. During a Iyear observation period, 7 patients developed metastatic disease. The occurrence of metastatic disease was not, however, preceded by characteristic changes in serially determined cIC and C3d levels.

<TITLE> Элементный состав почв в ненарушенных экосистемах на среднем Урале <ABSTRACT> In the recent years as the result of the natural environment destruction on vast territories, the nature reserves have gradually transformed into semiisolated areas of nature with varying degrees of preservation. Under such circumstances, the protected areas ensure the standard reference quality of the ecosystem and the processes occurring there. To determine the extent of anthropogenic impact on the environment, the background content of the elements in the soil of natural and anthropogenic origin should be known. The research goal is the compilation of Soil Quality Cadaster of the protected areas, and the evaluation of the elemental composition of the standard reference soils of the undisturbed ecosystems in the Nature Reserve Basegi.

<TITLE> ECODESIGN FUNCTION AND FORM CLASSIFICATION OF ECODESIGN TOOLS ACCORDING TO THEIR FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS <ABSTRACT> This article presents the first general conclusions of a project developed with small and mediumsized enterprises SMEs of the Comunidad Valenciana Valencia Region, Spain1. In the research it was discovered that the few companies which developed projects of Ecodesign did not obtain the expected results environmental, economical, social, or combinations of these. In some cases Ecodesign did not yield any new products, in other cases the new product was less competitive in other aspects, frequently the demand for a fully competitive new product was lower than expected, etc. Nevertheless, in all cases, Ecodesign activities seemed to be correct and the effort should have been enough. An explanation for this could be as follows maybe the Ecodesign tools employed were not adequate in function, in form, or in neither. That is to say, Ecodesign may be the proper tool for a problem, just as a screwdriver is adequate for unscrewing, but the applied Ecodesign toolset may not be appropriate for that particular problem, just as a Torx screwdriver is not suitable for a Slotted screw. Furthermore, another function and form should be analyzed that of the agent that carries out the action, that is to say, the Ecodesign team. This collective function and form analysis of Ecodesign problems, the Ecodesign team and Ecodesign tools altogether has not been found in the consulted literature most likely because it is an unnaturan analysis, given that Ecodesign problems and tools do not necessarily have a function or a form. However, as will be shown later, the results provided by this analysis are useful for understanding Ecodesign and planning its development.

<TITLE> Рациональность или социальные нормы преодоленное противоречие? <ABSTRACT> Если социологи традиционно объясняют поведение людей, исходя из понятия социальной нормы, то экономисты опираются главным образом на принцип экономической рациональности социальные нормы, которым следуют социальные акторы, обеспечивают существование социального порядка, рациональность акторов, руководствующихся принципом рационального выбора, обеспечивает равновесие рынка. Автор статьи пытается выйти за пределы этой традиционной методологической дилеммы, предлагая в конкретных исследованиях переходить от уровня абстрактных и общих схем на уровень практики и рассматривать при анализе той или иной ситуации социального взаимодействия повседневные навыки, которые акторы используют для оценки происходящего, развития собственных стратегий действия и разрешения проблемных ситуаций.Статья представляет собой перевод работы Thevenot L., Rationalite ou normes sociales une opposition depassee?, in GerardVaret L.A., Passeron J.C. dir., Le modele et lenquete.

<TITLE> THE DYNAMICS OF KNOWLEDGE INTERFACES BETWEEN MEXICAN AGRICULTURAL BUREAUCRATS AND PEASANTS A CASE STUDY FROM JALISCO <ABSTRACT> Knowledge is constituted by the ways in which individual members of a society or social group categorize, code, process and impute meaning to their experiences. This is as much true of scientific as of nonscientific, everyday forms of knowledge. We should not therefore equate knowledge with some professional, specialized or esoteric set of data or ideas. It is something that everybody possesses, even though the grounds for belief and the procedures for validation of knowledgeclaims will vary. Nor should the concept ofknowledge carry with it the implication ofdiscovering the real facts, as if they lay out there ready for uncovering. Such a view is based upon an objec tivism which assumes the world is composed of facts and that the goal of knowledge is to provide a literal account of what the world is like KnorrCetina, 1981 13. A body of knowledge emerges out of a complex process involving a number of social, situational, cultural and institutional factors. The process takes place on the basis of existing conceptual frameworks and procedures and is affected by various social contingencies, such as the skills, orientations, experiences, interests, resources and patterns of social interaction characteristic of the particular group or interacting set of individuals, as well as of those of the wider audience. Moreover a body of knowledge is constructive in the sense that it is the result of a great number of decisions and selective incorporations of previous ideas, beliefs and images, but at the same time destructive of other possible frames of conceptualisation and understanding. Thus it is not an accumulation of facts but involves ways of construing the world.

<TITLE> Comparison of ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin using human corneal susceptibility levels. <ABSTRACT> We compared the in vitro susceptibility of grampositive bacteria to ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin using human corneal susceptibility levels.The concentrations of ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin that can be attained in 99 of human corneas Cornea99 after topical administration were calculated statistically from reported data. The minimal inhibitory concentrations MICs were determined for 95 corneal isolates of grampositive bacteria 51 Staphylococcus aureus, 16 Streptococcus pneumoniae, 16 Streptococcus viridans group, and 12 coagulasenegative staphylococci. Susceptibility was interpreted by comparing the MICs with the respective Cornea99 for each antibiotic. Timekill studies of representative grampositive bacteria were tested using the Cornea99 and the maximal corneal concentrations reported for ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin.The Cornea99 of ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin were calculated to be 3.57 microgml n 22 and 2.22 microgml n 20, respectively. The reported mean corneal concentrations of ciprofloxacin 6.90 6.20 microgml and ofloxacin 5.71 6.15 microgml were comparable p 0.54. All grampositive bacteria were equally susceptible to ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin p 0.54 based on the Cornea99. The timekill studies determined that 824 h were required for both ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin to reach bactericidal levels.Ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin demonstrated comparable penetration into the cornea and provided equivalent in vitro efficacy against representative grampositive bacteria. Timekill studies indicated that 824 h of continual corneal concentrations of ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin were necessary in this study to reduce susceptible grampositive bacteria by 99.9.

<TITLE> SeafarersÄô Fatigue <ABSTRACT> The present paper will present some of the main conclusions from our recent programme on seafarers fatigue. Different sectors of the industry experience fatigue for different reasons. The crew of fishing vessels often report excessive fatigue due to long working hours and the physical conditions associa ted with the job. A second cause of fatigue is the rapid port turnarounds that have to be made by ships transporting dry cargo between ports in Europe. Similar problems occur in other transport sectors and another of our surveys showed that drivers who made the most deliveries reported the greatest fatigue in the road haulage sector. Other causes of fatigue may also occur e.g. travelling to the ship. Recommendations are given about possible ways to prevent and manage fatigue. Given the variety of causes and consequences of fatigue, it is unlikely that a one size fits all approach will be successful and it will be necessary to address fatigue using several different approaches.

<TITLE> Adaptive cruise control Experimental validation of advanced controllers on scalemodel cars <ABSTRACT> Recent advances in automotive technology, such as, sensing and onboard computation, have resulted in the development of adaptive cruise control ACC algorithms that improve both comfort and safety. With a view towards developing advanced controllers for ACC, this paper presents an experimental platform for validation and demonstration of an online optimization based controller. Going beyond traditional PID based controllers for ACC that lack proof of safety, we construct a control framework that gives formal guarantees of correctness. In particular, safety constraintsmaintaining a valid following distance from a lead carare represented by control barrier functions CBFs, and control objectives achieving a desired speedare encoded through control Lyapunov functions CLFs. These different objectives can be unified through a quadtraic program QP, with constraints dictated by CBFs and CLFs, that balances safety and the control objectives in an optimal fashion. This methodology is demonstrated on scalemodel cars, for which the CBFCLF based controller is implemented online, with the end result being the experimental validation of an advanced adaptive cruise controller.

<TITLE> On Case Shifting <ABSTRACT> In this article I will show how the device of case shifting simplifies the processes of case assignment involving complex verbs in Korean. I will show that such complex verbs as passives and causatives are derived at the lexical or phrasal level, not at the sentential or clausal level. I will also show that the assignment of cases to noun phrases is not configurationally dependent. For the present treatment, I will adopt a grammar system RPTQ, a revised version of Montagues1974 PTQ, that I proposed in my earlier papers 1981a, b .
