Here, we reported one pot synthesis of product by direct precipitation from a molten KOH-NaOH mixnare at 450 ℃ and single phase La3Ba3Cu6014 with tetragonal crystal system. The particle size of 140-200 nm were observed in both PXRD pattern and HRSEM micrographs and it showed a cubic morphology. The semiconducting nature was extracted from various parameters like optical band gap （1.8 eV）, AC conductivity （0.70 eV）, DC conductivity （0.70 eV）, and also Hall effect parameters like the charge carrier concentration values n=6,0x 1026 m-3 and it proved as a p-type semiconductor. The electrical phase trasition temperature from ferroelectric to antiferroelec- tric system （Tin=420 K） and anti-ferroelectric - paraelectric system （depolarization temperature Ta=673 K） which attributed to the space charge polarization contributed to the conduction mechanism. The magnetic phase transitions were from ferromagnetic to ferrimagnetic system （Curie temperature （Tc=70 K）） and it led to soft magnetic material and also held good for superconductor appli- cation upto 70 K.展开更多

They are the 3rd most common tumour diagnosed behind adenocarcinomas and lymphomas. The majority of these tumours are asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed in UGI scopy or contrast enhanced CT abdomen and pelvis studies. Obstruction, ulceration, gastrointestinal (GI) haemorrhage and perforation warrants an urgent surgical intervention. GIST is medically managed by tyrosine kinase inhibitors and surgically by resection and anastomosis. This case report highlights the diagnosis and management of a 42-year-old gentleman who presented with vague right iliac fossa mass. Informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case. This case was chosen to be reported because of the rare incidence of small intestine GIST in South India and the effectiveness of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery in management.展开更多

The problems being faced by engineers are increasingly interdisciplinary and complicated because the development of new products and processes depends upon the integration of many different technologies. Expansion of possibilities of already existing fieldbus systems is carried out by means of integration them into Profinet （PROcess Field NET） communications. The lab set-model of vertical integration-for data gathering from smart Profibus PA sensor, data transmission, controllers configuration for Profinet IO direct interfacing of distributed field devices on the Ethernet is discussed in this paper.展开更多

The episodic events can be classified into several categories according to their scale(ordinary and anomalous events), "shape"(positive, negative, and neutral events), and relation to long-term trend change(successive, interruptive,facilitative, stabilizing, transformative, increasing, and decreasing). Many types of these events can be defined depending on the combination of the above-mentioned patterns. Of course, spatial rank,duration, and origin can be also considered in description of these events. The proposed classification can be applied to events in some real long-term geological processes, which include global sea-level changes,biodiversity dynamics, lithospheric plate number changes, and palaeoclimate changes. Several case examples prove the usefulness of the classification. It is established that the Early Valanginian(Early Cretaceous) eustatic lowstand(the lowest position of the sea level in the entire Cretaceous) was negative,but ordinary and only interruptive event. In the other case, it becomes clear that the only end-Ordovician and the Permian/Triassic mass extinctions transformed the trends of the biodiversity dynamics(from increase to decrease and from decrease to increase respectively), and the only Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction was really anomalous event on the Phanerozoic biodiversity curve. The new palaeontological data are employed to reconstruct the diversity dynamics of brachiopods in Germany(without the Alps) and the Swiss Jura Mountains. The further interpretation of the both diversity curves implies that the Early Toarcian mass extinction affected the regional brachiopod faunas strongly, but this event was only decreasing(biotic radiation continued after it, although "restarted" from the lower point)s展开更多

The stratigraphic ranges of 268 genera permit to establish the longevity of extinction victims for each stage of this epoch. ＂Young＂ taxa （originated within B epochs before the extinction） prevailed among victims of the extinctions in all stages. The proportion of ＂old＂ taxa （originated before the Cretaceous） that went extinct was the highest in the Cenomanian, and it was the lowest in the Coniacian and the Maastrichtian. It appears that the end-Cretaceous mass extinction affected chiefly ＂young＂ taxa. However, the comparison with the earlier time intervals suggests that this pattern of selectivity by generic longevity was not specific for the noted catastrophe, but, in contrast, it was typical for the entire Late Cretaceous. The latest Cenomanian environmental perturbation （OAE2） caused a stronger extinction of＂old＂ taxa, and thus, this biotic crisis was less selective by generic longevity. This hypothesis, however, is not proven by the statistical test.展开更多

However, their occurrence on the vagus is uncommon. A high index of suspicion is needed to order imaging in pelvic lesions that present atypically. Discussion: Schwannomas are hypointense on T1 and heterogeneously hyperintense on T2 on MRI. The histopathological appearance with Antoni type A and type B is typical of Schwannoma. Conclusion: Schwannomas are slow growing benign tumors that are separable from the parent nerve. Recurrence is uncommon after resection.展开更多

Expansion of possibilities of already existing fieldbus systems is carried out by means of integration them into Profinet （PROcess Field NET） communications. The lab set-model of vertical integration-for data gathering from smart Profibus PA sensor, data transmission, controllers configuration for Profinet IO direct interfacing of distributed field devices on the Ethernet is discussed in this paper.

文摘Long-term geological processes are usually described with curves reflecting continuous changes in the characteristic parameters through the geological history, and such curves can be employed directly for recognition of episodic(relatively long-term) events linked to these changes. The episodic events can be classified into several categories according to their scale(ordinary and anomalous events), "shape"(positive, negative, and neutral events), and relation to long-term trend change(successive, interruptive,facilitative, stabilizing, transformative, increasing, and decreasing). Many types of these events can be defined depending on the combination of the above-mentioned patterns. Of course, spatial rank,duration, and origin can be also considered in description of these events. The proposed classification can be applied to events in some real long-term geological processes, which include global sea-level changes,biodiversity dynamics, lithospheric plate number changes, and palaeoclimate changes. Several case examples prove the usefulness of the classification. It is established that the Early Valanginian(Early Cretaceous) eustatic lowstand(the lowest position of the sea level in the entire Cretaceous) was negative,but ordinary and only interruptive event. In the other case, it becomes clear that the only end-Ordovician and the Permian/Triassic mass extinctions transformed the trends of the biodiversity dynamics(from increase to decrease and from decrease to increase respectively), and the only Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction was really anomalous event on the Phanerozoic biodiversity curve. The new palaeontological data are employed to reconstruct the diversity dynamics of brachiopods in Germany(without the Alps) and the Swiss Jura Mountains. The further interpretation of the both diversity curves implies that the Early Toarcian mass extinction affected the regional brachiopod faunas strongly, but this event was only decreasing(biotic radiation continued after it, although "restarted" from the lower point)s

文摘Many gastropod taxa went extinct during the Late Cretaceous. The stratigraphic ranges of 268 genera permit to establish the longevity of extinction victims for each stage of this epoch. ＂Young＂ taxa （originated within B epochs before the extinction） prevailed among victims of the extinctions in all stages. The proportion of ＂old＂ taxa （originated before the Cretaceous） that went extinct was the highest in the Cenomanian, and it was the lowest in the Coniacian and the Maastrichtian. It appears that the end-Cretaceous mass extinction affected chiefly ＂young＂ taxa. However, the comparison with the earlier time intervals suggests that this pattern of selectivity by generic longevity was not specific for the noted catastrophe, but, in contrast, it was typical for the entire Late Cretaceous. The latest Cenomanian environmental perturbation （OAE2） caused a stronger extinction of＂old＂ taxa, and thus, this biotic crisis was less selective by generic longevity. This hypothesis, however, is not proven by the statistical test.
文摘Introduction: Neurogenic tumors include schwannomas and neurofibro-mas. They occur often in the head and neck. However, their occurrence on the vagus is uncommon. A high index of suspicion is needed to order imaging in pelvic lesions that present atypically. Discussion: Schwannomas are hypointense on T1 and heterogeneously hyperintense on T2 on MRI. The histopathological appearance with Antoni type A and type B is typical of Schwannoma. Conclusion: Schwannomas are slow growing benign tumors that are separable from the parent nerve. Recurrence is uncommon after resection.
