California Bearing Ratio (CBR) value represents the main soil characteristic factor for paving design of flexible pavements & paving of airport sites. It should be used to determine subgrade modulus of crust soil layer, by using certain correlations. It is a very important engineering parameter for soil condition for design of subgrade of flexible roads. CBR values of soil may be affected by other parameters, like maximum dry density (MDD) & optimum moisture content (OMC), soil types, (coarse material of gravel and sand content), etc. for un-soaked condition of samples. Evaluation of CBR in direct test is a time waste process. This case study was conducted to find out the relationship between CBR values with MDD, ‎OMC,‎ standard penetration test (SPT) and coarse material content of some soil samples collected from the investigated project during 2011 with approximate area about (30) Km2, with Latitude (32.319810o -32.412226o) and Longitude (44.144141o – 44.243775o). A statistical method was used for estimating the relationship between the CBR and MDD, OMC, standard penetration test (SPT) and coarse material content of the soil desiring to obtain a relationship and a formula combining the previous two variables. A reasonable relationship represented by first degree formula was obtained. On the other hand, the time and efforts will be minimized in estimation of CBR instead of the used processing to determine the soil parameter‎.

The Relationship

Exegi monumentum aere perennius.… non omnis moriar. From Horace onward, the relationship of art to human mortality has been a major theme in literature – and one which obviously interested Browning, if we may judge from some striking variations he worked on it. In “Cleon” and “Abt Vogler,” for example, his speakers address the subject from very different points of view: Cleon, the pagan, argues that the fact his art will survive after his death cannot in any meaningful way confer immortality on him and that, as an artist, he even more than others is painfully aware of his own limited life; Abt Vogler, on the other hand, confident of the changelessness of God's good, sees in his art a promise that both he and his improvisation will endure. Given Browning's penchant for pushing ideas to extremes and turning them in unusual directions, it is not surprising that he would treat the topic in other less predictable ways – as he did, for example, by making the inert changelessness of works of art in “The Statue and the Bust” comment ironically on human failure to act, or by endowing the worldly and sensuous Bishop at St. Praxed's with an appropriately literal faith in the kind of immortality a suitably artful tomb would confer upon him. It is not surprising, then, that similar topics would appear in “A Toccata of Galuppi's.”

Objetivo: Explorar el patrón por edad de la relación entre el indicador de salud autopercibida y la mortalidad en las edades posteriores a la juventud (35-79) para hombres y mujeres en seis países europeos con trayectorias de morbilidad diferenciadas: Alemania, Francia, España, Italia, Polonia y Hungría. Métodos y datos: Descripción de los patrones tanto de la prevalencia de mala salud autopercibida como de la diferencia entre las transformaciones logarítmicas de las probabilidades de morir y de la prevalencia de mala salud en los años 2005 y 2009. Los datos proceden de la encuesta sobre Condiciones de Vida en la Unión Europea (EU-SILC) para la salud autopercibida, y de la Human Mortality Database (HMD) para la mortalidad. Resultados: Ambos indicadores muestran un patrón creciente por edad aunque el valor relativo de este incremento no es igual para la mortalidad y para la mala salud. La prevalencia de mala salud autopercibida aumenta con la edad con una intensidad menor que la mortalidad en ambos sexos en todos los países analizados. Este cambio en la relación entre ambos indicadores con la edad muestra valores similares entre mujeres y hombres, menos en el caso de Polonia y Hungría. Conclusiones: El cambio en la relación entre salud percibida y mortalidad con la edad se explicaría mediante la normalización por parte del individuo de la propia morbilidad. El diferente cambio en esta relación entre mujeres y hombres parece deberse a mayores niveles de desigualdad de género en aquellos países donde se observa esta diferencia, aunque estos resultados deberán comprobarse futuros trabajos.Goal: To explore the age pattern of the relationship between self-perceived health and mortality at ages beyond youth (35-79) for men and women in six European countries with different with different patterns of morbidity: Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland and Hungary. Methods and data sources: Descriptive analysis of the patterns of both the prevalence of poor self-perceived health and the difference between the logarithmic transformations of the mortality probabilities and the prevalence of poor health in 2005 and 2009. The data about self-perceived health come from the European Union statistics on income and living conditions (EU-SILC), whereas mortality data come from Human Mortality Database (HMD). Results: Both indicators show a growing pattern by age though the relative value of this increase is not equal in mortality and poor self-perceived health. Poor self-perceived health prevalence rises by age with a lower intensity than mortality for both sexes in all the analysed countries. This change by age in the relationship between both health outcomes shows similar values for women and men, with the exception of Poland and Hungary. Conclusions: The change in the relationship by age between self-perceived health and mortality would be explained by the process of standardization of individual’s morbidity. Different age changes between sexes seem to be related with higher levels of gender inequalities in countries where this difference is observed, though this must be confirmed in future research.

Pregnancy And Birth

This essay analyzes vernacular texts on reproduction from sixteenth-century Germany. It examines religious texts, including sermons and devotional treatises for pregnant women, as well as medical texts, such as midwifery manuals, books on the “secrets of nature,” and anatomical treatises. Vernacular authors, both medical and clerical, ascribed enormous spiritual and symbolic significance to human generation. Conception, pregnancy, and birth were linked to the biblical account of the creation and fall of mankind. In the creation of the child in the womb, sixteenthcentury Germans saw an echo of the original divine act of creation. And in the sufferings of a woman in labor they saw a reenactment of Christ's Passion. Discussions of reproduction thus served as a starting point for meditations on original sin, human mortality, and the relationship between body and soul.

A review is given of information on the galactic-centre region obtained from recent observations of the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen, the 18-cm group of OH lines, a hydrogen recombination line at 6 cm wavelength, and the continuum emission from ionized hydrogen.Both inward and outward motions are important in this region, in addition to rotation. Several types of observation indicate the presence of material in features inclined to the galactic plane. The relationship between the H and OH concentrations is not yet clear, but a rough picture of the central region can be proposed.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Abstract This commentary focuses upon the relationship between two themes in the target article: the ways in which a Markov blanket may be defined and the role of precision and salience in mediating the interactions between what is internal and external to a system. These each rest upon the different perspectives we might take while “choosing” a Markov blanket.

Abstract Cognitive Gadgets offers a new, convincing perspective on the origins of our distinctive cognitive faculties, coupled with a clear, innovative research program. Although we broadly endorse Heyes’ ideas, we raise some concerns about her characterisation of evolutionary psychology and the relationship between biology and culture, before discussing the potential fruits of examining cognitive gadgets through the lens of active inference.

Picture Element

It is well known that a large flux of electrons must pass through a specimen in order to obtain a high resolution image while a smaller particle flux is satisfactory for a low resolution image. The minimum particle flux that is required depends upon the contrast in the image and the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio at which the data are considered acceptable. For a given S/N associated with statistical fluxtuations, the relationship between contrast and “counting statistics” is s131_eqn1, where C = contrast; r2 is the area of a picture element corresponding to the resolution, r; N is the number of electrons incident per unit area of the specimen; f is the fraction of electrons that contribute to formation of the image, relative to the total number of electrons incident upon the object.
