The VLBI Space Observatory Programme (VSOP) is the first dedicated Space-VLBI mission. We report here on the planning for a second generation mission which builds on and extends the successful collaborations established for the VSOP mission, and which aims to improve both resolution and sensitivity by a factor of ∼10.

This article examines the current status of Hindi in the United States, following Grin’s and Lo Bianco’s framework of language maintenance and revitalization, based on the principles of Capacity Development, Opportunity Creation, and Desire. It gives linguistic profiles of first-and second-generation speakers of Hindi and looks at the various community, state, federal, and educational initiatives that promote the use and learning of Hindi. A description of current opportunities and the desire to maintain and develop Hindi helps us understand steps needed to maintain and further vitalize Hindi as a heritage language in the United States.

Second Generation Bioethanol

“Second generation” bioethanol, with lignocellulose material as feedstock, is a promising alternative for first generation bioethanol. This paper provides an overview of the current status and reveals the bottlenecks that hamper its implementation. The current literature specifies a conversion of biomass to bioethanol of 30 to ~50% only. Novel processes increase the conversion yield to about 92% of the theoretical yield. New combined processes reduce both the number of operational steps and the production of inhibitors. Recent advances in genetically engineered microorganisms are promising for higher alcohol tolerance and conversion efficiency. By combining advanced systems and by intensive additional research to eliminate current bottlenecks, second generation bioethanol could surpass the traditional first generation processes.

AbstractThis issue of MRS Bulletin provides an overview of the current status of research and development in the area of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) wires. High-temperature oxide superconductors, discovered in the late 1980s, are moving into the second generation of their development.The first generation relied on bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide, and the second generation is based on yttrium barium copper oxide, which has the potential to be less expensive and to perform better.The potential uses of HTS wires for electric power applications include underground transmission cables, oil-free transformers, superconducting magnetic-energy storage units, fault-current limiters, high-efficiency motors, and compact generators.Wires of 10–100 m in length can now be made, but material and processing issues must be solved before an optimized production scheme can be achieved.This issue covers a range of processing techniques using energetic beams, rolling, and laser and chemical methods to form wires with good superconducting properties.

The objects of the study are stages of development and modern state. In general terms, expert systems are knowledge-based systems. This paper focuses on the components and principles of expert systems. Expert systems are also described. The components of expert systems include knowledge base, logical impact mechanism, user interface and decision-making. In addition, this article describes the capabilities of expert systems. One challenge is to identify the future prospects of expert systems. The research examined the expert system and its significance. It also focuses on generations of expert systems. The first generation of expert systems includes systems created before 1990. This article discusses SAINT, DENDRAL and HEARSAY-1. The features of this expert systems are also discussed here. First-generation expert systems are research prototypes. As a result, the foundations of artificial intelligence were developed. Mostly first-generation expert systems were used as a passive assistant expert. The second generation of expert systems refers to systems created since 1990. Features of second-generation expert systems include dynamism, interactivity, and processing of disparate knowledge. Unlike first-generation expert systems, these systems are able to test the completeness of the knowledge base, to process fuzzy knowledge. Their main difference is the ability to integrate second-generation expert systems with existing systems. At the moment, statistical and dynamic expert systems are distinguished. This article describes the current status of both types. Here are also discussed the tools of statistical and dynamic expert systems. At the end, possible prospects of expert systems are received.

Blood clotting response (BCR) test is a faster method with fewer ethical constraints than feed-testing and is widely used to monitor resistance. The second-generation anticoagulant, bromadiolone is being used to control rodents all over India for the last several years. To investigate whether its use has resulted in development of resistance in house rat, Rattus rattus, BCR test was standardized. Plasma samples of 15 rats of both the sexes were pooled separately and diluted with phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4). Ten different dilutions of plasma i.e. 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100% were tested for Prothrombin Time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR) using rabbit brain thromboplastin reagent in coagulation analyzer. Time to clotting was converted into percent clotting activity (PCA) relative to plasma dilutions, to plot a standard curve. The PT of 15.7 and 17.6 sec for 100% plasma corresponded to INR of 0.8 and 0.9 in male and female rats, respectively. PCA of 22.3% corresponded with PT and INR of 70.3 sec and 3.8, respectively in male rats and PCA of 27.6% corresponded with PT and INR of 63.6 sec and 3.5, respectively in female rats. Data for PT and INR and standard curve for PCA vs PT prepared during present study can be further used to determine current status of bromadiolone resistance in R. rattus populations based on discriminating dose of bromadiolone.
