The Relationship

Magnetic anomalies may be simply analyzed using a dike model. In this model, the depth to the source is approximately 1.25 S, where S is the straight‐slope distance measured on the steepest flank. The dip of the body may be evaluated from θ, the combined magnetic angle found from the ratio of the maximum amplitude to the minimum amplitude. In the presence of remanence, the body dip δ may be found from θ only when the direction of resultant magnetization is either known or assumed, and magnetization direction may be found only if the dip is known. The minimum susceptibility contrast k of the source may be calculated from the total amplitude A and intensity T of the inducing field using the relationship k = 0.3 A/T. A large number of aeromagnetic anomalies have been interpreted using this method. A few such anomalies are presented here to illustrate the applicability of the method.

We studied the kinematics of straightforward, constant velocity swimming in larval Ambystoma mexicanum and Ambystoma maculatum. The larvae were filmed at 200–320 frames/s and their filmed images were digitized for computer analysis. The maximum sustainable velocity we recorded was 18.7 lengths/s, which compares favorably to the maximum speed reported for similarly sized anuran larvae. The Ambystoma, however, differed greatly from tadpoles in the form of the propulsive wave in their bodies. Specifically, the maximum amplitude at the tail tip, at swimming speeds >6 lengths/s, was exceptionally high, exceeding 30% of body length; at high speed, the position of minimum amplitude was well posterior to the otic capsules and produced considerable yaw at the head; and the length of the propulsive wave in the body shortened as speed increased. All of these features characterize poor mechanical efficiency during constant velocity swimming, and indeed two measures of efficiency (propeller efficiency and stride length) confirmed the locomotor superiority of tadpoles and sub-carangiform fishes to Ambystoma larvae. The drag induced by exposed gills and limbs may account in part for the inferior performance of the salamanders. Ambystoma larvae are designed for anguilliform movement among the rocks and vegetation of the substrate, and for high acceleration over short distances, such as those used during a lunge at prey. The mechanical inferiority of Ambystoma larvae during sustained, constant velocity swimming is consistent with their microhabitat shift away from open water situations in the presence of subcarangiform fishes.

The Relationship

The relationship betwen gravity and magnetic anomalies is investigated. It is shown that the ratio of the anomalous susceptibility to the anomalous density of an unknown body may be determined from gravimeter and vertical magnetometer observations, independent of assumptions as to the depth or form of the body. The use of this ratio in identifying the rock material of the body is discussed, and illustrated by applying the method to a well‐known case.

The presence of magnetization in country rock modifies the anomaly caused by magnetic bodies. Such a modification is distinct from the self‐demagnetization effect of the body, and the concept of susceptibility contrast is not adequate to explain it. We can achieve an exact understanding of the problem by solving the potential function in three media: air, magnetic country rock, and magnetized body. This paper sets up the solution of this problem when the magnetized body is a circular cylinder with an infinitely long horizontal axis, for both a horizontal and a vertical inducing ambient field. It expresses the solution of Laplace’s equation in bipolar coordinates for the potentials in the form of Fourier series. Analysis of the vertical, horizontal, and total magnetic anomalies shows that neglect of country rock magnetization reduces the apparent causative body dimensions.

In a study of the relationship of magnetic anomalies to the magnetite content and structure of layered Precambrian iron‐formations, the effective induced and remanent magnetizations of the Biwabik iron‐formation were determined by analyses of aeromagnetic anomalies recorded 1,000 ft above the Biwabik in areas of known geology. The induced magnetization along the layers is relatively insignificant because the formation is almost perpendicular to the earth’s magnetic field. For the relatively unmetamorphosed iron‐formation of the Main Mesabi district, the dominant magnetization was found to be across the layers, about 0.012 gauss, and most likely induced. For the strongly metamorphosed iron‐formation of the East Mesabi district, the dominant magnetization was found to be along the layers, about 0.100 gauss, and remanent. These values are used as bases for explaining aeromagnetic anomalies from correlatives of the Biwabik iron‐formation in the Gunflint, Cuyuna, and Gogebic districts.

Individual Body

The relationship between body height and body weight has been described by using various terms. Notable among them is the body mass index, body surface area, body shape index and body surface index. In clinical setting the first descriptive parameter is the BMI scale, which provides information about whether an individual body weight is proportionate to the body height. Since the development of BMI, two other body parameters have been developed in an attempt to determine the relationship between body height and weight. These are the body surface area (BSA) and body surface index (BSI). Generally, these body parameters are described as clinical health indicators that described how healthy an individual body response to the other internal organs. The aim of the study is to discuss the use of BSI as a better clinical health indicator for preclinical assessment of body-organ/tissue relationship. Hence organ health condition as against other body composition. In addition the study is `also to determine the best body parameter the best predict other parameters for clinical application. The model parameters are presented as; modeled height and weight; modelled BSI and BSA, BSI and BMI and modeled BSA and BMI. The models are presented as clinical application software for comfortable working process and designed as GUI and CAD for use in clinical application.

The Relationship

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is an effective technique in managing risk within an organization strategically and holistically. Risk culture relates to the general awareness, attitudes and behaviours towards risk management in an organisation. This paper presents a conceptual model that shows the relationship between risk culture and ERM implementation. The dependent variable is ERM implementation, which is measured by the four processes namely risk identification and risk assessment; risk treatment; monitor and consult; communicate and consult. The independent variables under risk culture are risk policy and risk appetite; key risk indicators; accountability; incentives; risk language and internal relationships. This study aims to empirically test the relationship between risk culture and ERM implementation among Malaysian construction public listed companies. Risk culture is expected to have direct effects and significantly influence ERM. This study contributes to enhance the body of knowledge in ERM especially in understanding significant of risk culture that influence its’ implementation from Malaysian perspective.

This study intends to find out the mediating effect of organisational culture on the relationship between information system and sustainable performance of manufacturing sector in UAE. This study used AMOS-SEM software to develop mediation model that linking the mediating relationships between Information System, Organisational Culture and Sustainable operation Performance. Data was collected through questionnaire survey among the operation staff of Abu Dhabi manufacturing companies. A total 250 questionnaires were distributed however 205 were returned and only 200 are valid which indicates a response rate of 80%. The analysis found that TPS has positive but not significant effect to SP; OIS has positive but not significant effect to SP; FMW has a positive and significant effect on SP; SDS has a negative and not significant effect to SP and SP has positive but not significant effect OC. For the path relationship between the four exogenous variables (TPS, OIS, SDS, and FMW) and the mediator variable (OC), the results are TPS has positive and significant effect to OC; OIS has positive but not significant effect to OC; FMW has positive and significant effect to OC and SDS has positive and not significant effect to OC. Collectively, the five exogenous constructs (TPS, OIS, SDS, FMW and OC) explained 89% variation in operational performance and 86% of the variation in organisational culture. However, for a mediator, it was found that OC has no significant mediating effect on the relationship between TPS and SP; OC has no significant mediating effect on the relationship between OIS and SP; OC has no significant mediating effect on the relationship between SDS and SP and OC has no significant mediating effect on the relationship between FMW and SP. it can be concluded that there is a positive relationship between information system dimensions and operational performance. However organizational culture has no contributing any mediating effect to the relationship. These findings have contributed to the body of knowledge and could be shared among the UAE manufacturing practitioners.

The relevance of the article is determined by the existence of contradictions between the need to introduce innovative technologies into the educational process at school, as an integral attribute of modern education, and the negative influence of factors on the physical and psycho-emotional state of health of students related to the use of information and communication tools (computers, phones, headphones). The goal of the study was to assess the relationship between the timing of the use of information and communication tools and the frequency of functional and psycho-emotional complaints in groups of middle and high school schoolchildren. 400 schoolchildren of the Saratov Region, the Moscow Region, Leningrad Region and the Republic of Dagestan were surveyed, who made up two groups of research: middle-school schoolchildren (grades 5–6) and high-school schoolchildren (grades 10–11 The survey was carried out by means of the standardized formalized cards which included the questions considering usage time of computers and mobile phones, complaints to a headache, hands pain, other pain and/or feeling of discomfort from visual organ and the organs of hearing, as well as a psycho-emotional state. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the STATISTICA application software program by StatSoft Inc (USA). To compare the frequencies of a binary feature, a fourfold table of absolute frequencies was constructed and the level of statistical significance for the exact Fisher’s two-tailed test criterion was determined. The study was conducted according to the requirements of bioethics, after signing informed consent statement by teenagers and their parents. The study examined the relationship between the timing of the use of information and communication tools and the frequency of complaints in groups of schoolchildren. The results of the study should be taken into account when developing and implementing preventive measures to prevent negative effects of computers and mobile devices on the body of students.

Nanoparticles Toxicity

We conducted a comparative assessment of the nickel oxide nanoparticles toxicity (NiO) of two sizes (11 and 25 nm) according to a number of indicators of the body state after repeated intraperitoneal injections of these particles suspensions. At equal mass doses, NiO nanoparticles have been found to cause various manifestations of systemic subchronic toxicity with a particularly pronounced effect on liver, kidney function, the body’s antioxidant system, lipid metabolism, white and red blood, redox metabolism, spleen damage, and some disorders of nervous activity allegedly related to the possibility of nickel penetration into the brain from the blood. The relationship between the diameter and toxicity of particles is ambiguous, which may be due to differences in toxicokinetics, which is controlled by both physiological mechanisms and direct penetration of nanoparticles through biological barriers and, finally, unequal solubility.

The Relationship

Posture is commonly perceived as the relationship between the segments of the human body upright. Certain parts of the body such as the cephalic extremity, neck, torso, upper and lower limbs are involved in the final posture of the body. Musculoskeletal instabilities and reduced postural control lead to the installation of nonstructural posture deviations in all 3 anatomical planes. When we talk about the sagittal plane, it was concluded that there are 4 main types of posture deviation: hyperlordotic posture, kyphotic posture, rectitude and "sway-back" posture.Pilates method has become in the last decade a much more popular formof exercise used in rehabilitation. The Pilates method is frequently prescribed to people with low back pain due to their orientation on the stabilizing muscles of the pelvis. Pilates exercise is thus theorized to help reactivate the muscles and, by doingso, increases lumbar support, reduces pain, and improves body alignment.
