Current proposals for the Thames barrier and the organization of the investigations

A considerable area of London close to the River Thames is liable to flood if the water in the river reaches an exceptionally high level. The very high waters which occur from time to time due to exceptional meteorological conditions are steadily increasing in level. After considering the possible ways of meeting this threat, by raising the existing flood defences, constructing a barrage across the mouth of the estuary, or the provision of a removeable flood barrier, to be closed only when a dangerous surge tide was liable to occur, the third course has been chosen as the best method. A site in Woolwich Reach has been chosen for a structure with four main openings of 61 m (200 ft), and the rising sectorf gate has been selected as the type of gate to be developed for the main openings.

ABSTRACT We have selected 210 mutants able to grow on sucrose in the presence of 2-deoxyglucose. We identified recessive mutations in three major complementation groups that cause constitutive (glucose-insensitive) secreted invertase synthesis. Two groups comprise alleles of the previously identified HXK2 and REG1 genes, and the third group was designated cid1 (constitutive invertase derepression). The effect of cid1 on SUC2 expression is mediated by the SUC2 upstream regulatory region, as judged by the constitutive expression of a SUC2-LEU2-lacZ fusion in which the LEU2 promoter is under control of SUC2 upstream sequences. A cid1 mutation also causes glucose-insensitive expression of maltase. The previously isolated constitutive mutation ssn6 is epistatic to cid1, reg1 and hxk2 for very high level constitutive invertase expression. Mutations in SNF genes that prevent derepression of invertase are epistatic to cid1, reg1 and hxk2; we have previously shown that ssn6 has different epistasis relationships with snf mutations. The constitutive mutation tup1 was found to resemble ssn6 in its genetic interactions with snf mutations. These findings suggest that CID1, REG1 and HXK2 are functionally distinct from SSN6 and TUP1.

ABSTRACT Cosmids are plasmids that contain the phage λ sequences (cos) required for packaging of the phage DNA into the virion. Induction of a λ prophage in an Escherichia coli strain carrying a cosmid results in lysates containing phage particles that are filled with cosmid DNA. However, the lysates also contain a large excess of infectious phage particles which complicate use of the packaged cosmids. I report that cosmids packaged by induction of a strain carrying a prophage with an altered cos region results in lysates containing very high levels (>1010/ml) of particles that contain cosmid DNA together with very few infectious phage particles. These lysates can be used to transduce cosmid DNA into all of the cells of a growing culture with minimal physiological disturbance. When the cosmid carries a conditionally active origin of replication, transductional introduction of the cosmid under nonreplicative conditions provides a system of transient expression. Transient expression has been used to make a recA strain temporarily recombination proficient and to temporarily introduce a site-specific recombinase. Transductional introduction of a cosmid also allows absolute off-to-on transcriptional control of nonessential genes. Two examples are given showing that when a strain carrying a null mutation in the gene of interest is transduced with a packaged cosmid carrying a functional copy of that gene, the expression of the gene rapidly goes from absolutely off to high-level expression. Additional possible uses of in vivo-packaged cosmids are proposed.

Currently, Korea's cultural standards are very high in the world. In line with this heightened level, Korea's beauty industry is also at a high level. But the Barber industry in Korea is not like that. However the number of barbershops is expected to increase gradually as many hair salons do, and the level of barbershops is expected to improve. Therefore, we started this paper because it was determined that new attempts and suggestions of styles were needed for men's hair styles. In order to produce the work of this study, a total of four works were produced based on the theoretical basis of Angkor Wat's concept, the literature on hair tattoos, Internet data. The first work based on the motive of “Nāga” in Angkor Wat is expressed by combining a ducktail and a hair tattoo. The second work based on the “Mahābhārata” in Angkor Wat is expressed by combining a pompadour and a hair tattoo. The third work based on the tower in Phnom Bakheng is expressed by combining iron windings and a hair tattoo. The fourth work based on the central tower in Angkor Wat is expressed by combining iron techniques and hair tattoo. Based on the sculpting work, which is the link between architecture and men's hair, the possibility of creating a male hairstyle by combining hair tattoos was shown in this study, and Barber work was worth it compared to sculpture and other art.

Risk is a situation that is uncertain and there is an element of danger, the consequences that could occur due to a process that is ongoing or upcoming events. One of them in construction, where activity in this activity, there is some risk that may occur and give a great impact in the success of the completion of the work. Approaches were made to the risks involved with understanding/identification of risk, risk measurement, risk mapping, the response to risk. So with the existence of such activities can provide a recommendation as to whether the risks are acceptable, divided, reduced or avoided. This research was conducted with descriptive quantitative research methods. The results of this study concluded that there were 7 risk factors in very high level understanding of contract documents i.e., different site condition, productivity, quality equipment/material quality, smooth cash flow, the competence of sub contractors, and the influence of the weather. Against the risk of handling very high i.e. by way of doing business – business everything possible so that it can reduce the level of risk that exists so that the work can be resolved properly and the third project targets can be achieved.

This research aims to elaborate the difficulty levels of three different texts that bring the same topic. This research is a discourse analysis which was done by analyzing the lexical density, nominalization, and the finiteness of the texts. The three texts that have been analyzed were taken online from Wikipedia and two personal blogs for English research. The results show that the first text can be taken as the most complex text for high level readers, the second text for the intermediate level readers, and the third text for the elementary or low level readers. In terms of lexical density, the first text gains very high percentage which is up to 60%, this shows that the text is the most informative of all. Whereas, the second text and the third text’s lexical density are both 50%, which indicates that there are lack of contents in them.  Regarding to nominalization, the first text is still on the highest level with 12 nominalizations, the second text is on the intermediate level with 10 nominalizations, and the third text is on the lowest level, without any nominalization. The last is from the finiteness side. The first text has the lowest number of finiteness; the second text has the second highest number of finites, whereas the third text has the highest number of finites of all. This is the result of the highest number of lexical density and nominalization of the first text that decreases the frequency of sentences in it. The results of this research can be useful for online readers to decide what kind of reading materials which are suitable for their English levels.

In Gedung Kuliah Bersama (GKB) III at University Muhammadiyah of Malang, at the first floor with a low-level of illumination should be used for audio-visual rooms or meeting, or it’s not used to read, write a long time (often), and for a thorough job, so it does not require a high level of illumination, because the majority of rooms on the first floor level of 30 lux illumination only and the maximum light level is only about 300 lux at the window. On the second floor with office functions majors and computer labs are appropriate to the level of illumination most of the rooms reached 200 lux, at the window level to 500 lux maximum lighting. Lecture room on 3 and 4 floors have a very high level of illumination, on the third floor reached 120-240 lux in the most of the rooms and around the window to 1200 lux, the uneven illumination very disturbing visual comfort of user room. On the fourth floor most of the rooms have lighting levels of 200-400 lux and 1800 lux maximum reached around the windows.Key Words: Lighting levels or level of illumination, GKB ( Gedung Kuliah Bersama )

The use of video assistant referees (VAR) is one solution to football problems in Indonesia. Indonesian football has a problem for years, namely the problem of trust in referees due to many referee bribery scandals and others. Based on this problem, this research focuses on public opinion toward VAR technology use in football. The research methodology is descriptive research, and this research is directed to make careful and detailed observations of the observed phenomena. This descriptive study aims to highlight current issues or problems through a data collection process that allows the researcher to describe the situation more fully than is possible without using this method. Researchers also seek to see phenomena related to technology involvement in sports activities from the players, organizers, spectators, and other stakeholders. The research results found that Public Opinion is formed into three types, for the first type who has a very high level of identification with the football club who is dissatisfied with the use of Video Assistant Referee Technology (VAR), the second type of public who enjoy football matches with debate in a football match less satisfied with the use of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology, and the third type for the more modern public sees the use of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology as a solution in decisions used in the Indonesian Football League  Competition.

AbstractClosed expressions for the first, second, and (in some cases) the third moment of atomic transition arrays now exist. Recently a method has been developed for getting to very high moments (up to the 12th and beyond) in cases where a “collective” state-vector (i.e. a state-vector containing the entire electric dipole strength) can be created from each eigenstate in the parent configuration. Both of these approaches give exact results. Herein we describe astatistical(or Monte Carlo) approach which requires onlyonerepresentative state-vector |RV> for the entire parent manifold to get estimates of transition moments of high order. The representation is achieved through the random amplitudes associated with each basis vector making up |RV>. This also gives rise to the dispersion characterizing the method, which has been applied to a system (in the M shell) with≈250,000 lines where we have calculated up to the 5th moment. It turns out that the dispersion in the moments decreases with the size of the manifold, making its application to very big systems statistically advantageous. A discussion of the method and these dispersion characteristics will be presented.

In addition to its established oncological indications the sensitivity of bone scintigraphy is of steadily increasing significance in traumatology. Inactivity- induced osteoporosis plays a major role during the immobilization period in the plaster cast. In the region of the joints remodelling intensity may reach such a high level that the non-injured bone shows a higher rate of accumulation than the fracture. This process already begins between the third and fourth week of immobilization. The highest uptake is found after fracture of the scaphoid bone at the end of twelve weeks of immobilization. Control scintigraphies at intervals of several days are indicated to differentiate between various clinical conditions (pseudoarthrosis, activated osteoarthrosis, algodystrophy in case of doubtful x-ray results).

Climate change and its impact on water resources is the problem of the times. Therefore, this study is concerned with the subject of climate change and its impact on the water ration of the grape harvest in Diyala Governorate. The study was based on the data of the Khanaqin climate station for the period 1973-2017, (1986-2017) due to lack of data at governorate level. The general trend of the elements of the climate and its effect on the water formula was extracted. The equation of change was extracted for the duration of the study. The statistical analysis was also used between the elements of the climate (actual brightness, normal temperature, micro and maximum degrees Celsius, wind speed m / s, relative humidity% The results of the statistical analysis confirm that the water ration for the study area is based mainly on the X7 evaporation / netting variable, which is affected by a set of independent variables X1 Solar Brightness X4 X5 Extreme Temperature Wind Speed ​​3X Minimal Temperature and Very High Level .
