Abstract Nowadays in India many accidents are occurred due drunk and drive. So, we have made a project to resolve and predict these incidents, in which we used Arduino, Alcohol sensor, GSM and GPS modules. Here the Alcohol sensor is placed inside the car which will detect whether the driver of the car has drunk or not. If the driver is drunk then the Alcohol sensor will get triggered and the car engine will not turn ON or it will OFF the engine if it is already in ON state. Here the other two modules which are GSM and GPS. If the car has met with an accident the limit switch which is present inside the car will trigger the Arduino by which an SMS will be sent to the particular contacts which are been saved in the Arduino program. The GPS will be connected to the number of satellites so that when the car met with the accident the live location of the car will be sent to the contact through the GSM module. This entire setup of GPS and GSM will be kept inside the car. This entire project can reduce the accidents which are occurred by the drunk and drive and dead corners and also predict the location of the accidents. It results in increasing the human safety and protection

When we leaving house in the empty situation which usually let the lamp on make wasting the energy we used and invited wickedness like robbing. Based on this situation the author create some device which give a savety when leaving house. Function of this device are to control curtain and lamp automatically. So we can spit people that house not empty. The principle of this device is if user turn on the system with press the push button then at the sun rise curtain automatally open until the lamp will off, and the other way curtain will automatically close and lamp will be on at the sunset. The system consists of two subsystem: motor and railway curtain track. The whole system is controlled by PLC type OMRON CPM 1A. LDR is a sensor to detect the light which places in out site room. Limit switch placed at the end of railway curtain track which used to stop the motor. After testing, we know that the system need 3 minutes for open the curtain and 5 minutes 20 second for close the curtain.

Chapter 2 studies the relationship between historicism and Romanticism. It locates the two between Enlightenment materialism, on one side, and Marxian historical and dialectical materialism, on the other. In so doing, it isolates a paradox of materialism—namely, its production of the very concepts that undo it. These include the ideas of knowing as dissociated conceptual activity, and consciousness as absolute negativity. Romanticism and historicism, it is argued, represent solutions to a common problem—a claim defended through a reading of Wordsworth’s sonnet “The world is too much with us.” In considering how we position ourselves in relation to past literature, the chapter evaluates the choices between contemplation and empathy, knowledge and power, blame and defense. As such, it represents the first move in a self-critical turn on the new historicist method that had shaped the author’s—and part of the field’s—work in the previous decade.

A new concept of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transisitor (IGBT) with a Si/Ge layer collector is proposed to meet different requirements for turn-on voltage and turn-off time. The operation principles of IGBT are discussed and the energy band diagram of Si/Ge heterojunction is employed to explain the inner dynamic mechanism of the proposed IGBT. Two-dimensional (2D) device-circuit mixed-mode simulations indicate that the tail-current, which is a major cause of the power loss and limits the operation speed of the device, is suppressed effectively by using the Si/Ge layer collector. On the other hand, turn-on voltage is increased by the use of the Si/Ge collector. Furthermore, the turn-on voltage is increasing with the increase of the areal rate of the Ge region in the whole collector, while the turn-off time is reversed. This valuable information leads to the freely tunable planar IGBT by adapting the different areal rates of the Ge region to cast to different actual situations. Detailed physical explanations are also given.

Microswitches are technical devices designed to enable persons with multiple disabilities to control environmental events, generally preferred stimuli such as music and lights, using simple/feasible responses. For example, a sound-detecting microswitch may allow a person to turn on brief periods of preferred stimulation through simple vocal responses. This study compared the accuracy of two versions of a sound-detecting microswitch, i.e., one using a throat microphone and the other both throat and airborne microphones, for a man with multiple disabilities. Analysis showed that the latter microswitch version radically reduced the false activations present with the former microswitch version. Thus, the latter version seemed to have a clear accuracy advantage over the former with important practical implications.

Natural killer T (NKT) cells are CD1d-restricted, lipid antigen–reactive T cells with powerful immunoregulatory potential. The prototypic antigen for NKT cells is a marine sponge–derived glycolipid, α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), but this is not normally encountered in the mammalian environment. Thus, there is great interest in the identification of more physiological stimuli for NKT cells, and numerous studies have shown that NKT cells are capable of responding to a range of microbial lipid-based antigens. Two new studies expand our understanding of environmental NKT cell stimuli, with one showing that CD1d-restricted NKT cell antigens are present within common house dust extract (HDE), whereas the other shows that NKT cells can respond to innate stimuli irrespective of the presence of foreign microbial antigens. Collectively, these two investigations indicate that NKT cells are far more likely to encounter foreign antigens, or innate activating signals, than previously recognized, suggesting a more central role for these cells in the immune system.

ABSTRACT A novel in vivo expression technology (IVET) was performed to identify Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43 genes that are specifically expressed during infection of BALB/c mice. The IVET employed a UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase (galU)-deficient mutant of K. pneumoniae which is incapable of utilizing galactose and synthesizing capsular polysaccharide, as demonstrated by its low virulence to BALB/c mice and a white nonmucoid colony morphology on MacConkey-galactose agar. By using a functionalgalU gene as the reporter, an IVE promoter could render thegalU mutant virulent while maintaining the white nonmucoid colony phenotype. A total of 20 distinct sequences were obtained through the in vivo selection. Five of them have been identified previously as virulence-associated genes in other pathogens, while another five with characterized functions are involved in regulation and transportation of nutrient uptake, biosynthesis of isoprenoids, and protein folding. No known functions have been attributed to the other 10 sequences. We have also demonstrated that 2 of the 20 IVE genes turn on under iron deprivation, whereas the expression of another five genes was found to be activated in the presence of paraquat, a superoxide generator.

AbstractAll four UK and devolved governments performed a ‘U-turn’ on their COVID-19 school exams replacement policies. After cancelling exams, they sought teacher estimates on their grades, but supported an algorithm to standardise the results. When the results produced a public outcry over unfair consequences, they initially defended their decision but reverted quickly to teacher assessment. We explain these developments by comparing two ‘windows of opportunity’ overseen by four separate governments, in which the definition of the problem, feasibility of each solution, and motive of policymakers to select one over the other lurched dramatically within a week of the exams results. These experiences highlight the confluence of events and choices and the timing and order of choice. A policy solution that had been rejected during the first window, and would have been criticised heavily if chosen first, became a lifeline during the second. As such, while it is important to understand why the standardisation process went so wrong, we focus on why the policymaking process went so wrong.

We have succeeded to fabricate SiC buried gate static induction transistors (BGSITs) with the breakdown voltage VBR of 1270 V at the gate voltage VGS of –12 V and the specific on-resistance RonS of 1.21 mΩ·cm2 at VGS = 2.5 V. The turn-off behaviors of BGSITs strongly depend on the source length WS, which is the distance between the gate electrodes. The rise time tr of BGSIT for WS = 1,070 μm is 395 nsec, while that for WS = 210 μm is 70nsec. From the 3D computer simulations, we confirmed that the difference in turn-off behavior came from the time delay in potential barrier formation in channel region because of high p+ gate resistivity. The turn-off behaviors also depend on the operation temperature, especially for long WS. On the other hand, the turn-on behaviors hardly depend on the WS and temperature.

For Kant's interpretation of Zeno in KrV A502-507/B530-535, scholars have usually referred to Plato's Phaedrus (261d); in reality the sources Kant uses are, on one hand, Brucker (who depends in turn on the pseudo-Aristotelian De Melisso, Xenophane, et Gorgia, 977 b 2-21), and, on the other, Plato's Parmenides (135e6-136b1) and Proclus' commentary on it, as quoted by Gassendi in a popular textbook he wrote on the history of logic.

In Rom 16.18 we have a unique word, alongside another word which is used by Paul in a unique way. That is challenge enough to any student of the language of the Greek NT. ‘Faire speeches’ is the AV's rendering of εὐλογία. Elsewhere in the NT, where it occurs 16 times, εὐλογία is always used in an approving sense, of the human praise of God or of the divine bounty for which praise is due. The word is found nine times in the Pauline corpus; a little earlier in this same letter, Paul had spoken about his certainty that he will visit Rome ‘in the fullness of the blessing (εὐλογία) of Christ’ (15.29 RSV). After that and the other Pauline and the non-Pauline usage, the use at 16.18 grates on the ear.1Its context shows that here εὐλογία is being used disparagingly, of men who flatter to deceive (ἐξαπατῶσιν) and work to mislead and divide the community. Today, we might call such men ‘smoothies’ who ‘turn on the charm’, ‘chat up’ the gullible, ‘talk up’ their policies and ‘sweet talk’ their way to success for their own selfish purposes.
