The duality waves/particle and the dynamic of propagation of electromagnetic emanations suggest the existence of a natural kind of waves, which differently from de classic ones, are originating by kinetic thrust and propagating, also though vacuum, by inertial force. The model taken into consideration, to which has been given the name of “kinetic waves” is, like the classic one, a concretely existing natural phenomenon which can also be visually perceived if produced on molecular scale. Results suggest, by giving consistent mathematical proof, that kinetic waves offer many more points of similarity, in dynamic and behavior, than the classic ones, which were taken, since the discovery of electromagnetic waves, as basic model.Applying the obtained results relatively to this model, to the astrophysical red-shift, taking as example the quasar 3C-273 and the recently found, most far galaxy GN-z11, we could find a mathematical sustainable and logic answer about still unsolved problems with regard to the origin and the dynamic of the universe.In the appendix, a suggested and accurately described experiment on base of Radar Astronomy to possibly confirm the validity of this model.

An in-depth analysis of the dynamics connected to the Doppler-effect brings clear light to elements of contradiction with the original ground on which the axiom of the constancy of lightspeed was based. Thereby, with regard to electromagnetic phenomenology, the duality waves/particles and the wavy dynamic of light-propagation suggest the existence of a natural kind of waves, which differently from the classic ones, are originating by kinetic thrust and propagating, also though vacuum, by inertial force. The model taken into consideration,  to which has been given the name of “kinetic waves”  is, like the classic one, a concretely existing natural phenomenon which can also be visually perceived if produced on molecular scale. Moreover kinetic waves seem to offer many more points of similarity, in dynamic and behavior, with the electromagnetic waves,  than the classic model. Applying the obtained results on the astrophysical field, taking as example the quasar 3C-273,  the recently found, most far galaxy GN-z11 and the galaxy NGC 224 (better known as Andromeda), can  mathematically and concretely be  sustained that none of  the energy sources we optically perceive, showing a Doppler-shift, nor is approaching nor regressing. In the appendix, a suggested and accurately described experiment on base of Radar Astronomy to possibly confirm the validity of the model presented by this article.

Palmer's suggestion that color might serve as an appropriate field in which to test the hypotheses on the relations among brain, mind, and behavior is misleading. Human color experience as related to mind must be considered as a cultural, as well as a natural phenomenon. It is important to avoid approaching facts of language as mere nomenclature; otherwise, concepts are reduced to percepts.

Anunused niche for the economy in the tourism sector is the development of geo-tourism, in particular geological tourism. The essence of geological tourism Is considered as one of the many components of geotourism. There is a critical review of normative documents that should address the modern development of geo-tourism in Bulgaria. Specific proposals for improving the regulatory documents are outlined. When designing and implementing the strategic objectives, there must be an explicit section on the development of geological tourism as an important subspecies of ecotourism. It is necessary to work in the direction of advertising, geo-conserving, socializing, announcing geoparks and creating routes for networking of these phenomena. The national geographic network must be bound to European and global. This sector of the economy would be very profitable, since everything close to nature is a free niche in the globalizing economy. The basic principles, the classification of destinations, the strategy for the development of geological tourism are presented using the ones already adopted for geotourism. On this basis ananalysis of the situation in the country and the opportunities for the development of geological tourism is made. The problems and the possible directions ahead of it are outlined. Whether they are interested in geology, people perceive geological phenomena as worthwhile, because they affect them aesthetically. What's more, in many cases, they are related to everyday life, culture and history. Sometimes geological phenomena even determine the traditions and behavior of people. Therefore, the geological heritage is perceived as a natural phenomenon that affects the lifestyle, traditions and relationships of people and must be preserved for future generations. Bulgaria is a natural geological museum. Geological Conservation in Bulgaria is in a transitional period that can give a powerful boost to the geological tourism or fall into a significant lag behind the European practices. For a successful transition to the legitimation of the Bulgarian geological heritage to the world, certain steps should be taken: to take urgent measures to recognize the problems of the Bulgarian geo-conservancy at the highest level; immediate approval by the Protected Areas Act of the new Geotop and Geopark categories or to prepare a separate geological heritage law; inclusion of regions with famous geologicall and marks among the priorities of the Operational Program for Regional Development – Regions in Growth. Geological tourism is one of the most romantic offerings for every lover of travels, so today numerous rock phenomena located on the territory of the country attract a large number of tourists.

In attempting to analyze the notion of a logical system, there are various approaches that could be taken. One would be to look at the things people have called logical systems and try to develop a natural framework which would encompass most or many of these, and then explore the consequences of the framework, seeing what else falls under the framework and what the consequences of the general notion happen to be. This was basically the approach taken, for example, in Barwise [1974], one of the early attempts to develop such a framework. This approach has much to recommend it, but it also has at least two serious drawbacks. It is too dependent on accidents of history, that is, on what particular systems of logic people happened to have developed. There is at least the theoretical possibility that biases of precedent and fashion have played a significant role in the way things have gone. If so, the abstraction away from practice has the danger of codifying these historicallycontingent biases, making them appear like necessary features of a logical system. The flip side of this problem is that there may well be some unnatural logical systems which contort the framework. But how else could one proceed in an attempt to get a principled notion of logical system? Another approach, the one we take here, is to look at the existing logical systems that people happened to have developed and to try to see what they were up to in more general terms. Our hope is to find some interesting natural phenomenon lurking behind these systems, a “natural kind,” if you will. If there is such a natural phenomenon, it could be used to guide the formulation of an abstract notion of logical system. If a characterization of logical systems could be found using this approach, it would have potentially two significant advantages over the more orthodox approach. First, it would provide a basis from which one could give a principled critique of existing systems claimed to be logical systems. Second, though, it would point out gaps, that is, logical systems which have yet to be developed.

Background: Menstruation is one of the natural changes that occur in female in her normal life. Though it is a natural phenomenon, most of the adolescent girls have some wrong beliefs and behavior regarding menstruation.Objective: To assess knowledge on menstruation among adolescence school girls in a selected area of Dhaka City.Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among conveniently selected 240 adolescent girls. A pre-tested modified questionnaire was used to get data by face to face interview. Knowledge level was determined by predefined scoring.Results: Mean age of respondents was 15.46 + 1.17 years. Mean monthly family income of respondents was 22500±4256 BDT. Majority of the respondents (88%) did not have knowledge about menstruation before the onset of their menarche. Most of the respondents (88%) were not mentally prepared for the first period. About 5.6% of the respondents felt good or normal during menstruation followed by 51%, 39.4% and 4% had uncomfortable, afraid and disgusting feeling respectively. Majority of the respondents (44%) knew about menstruation from TV.Conclusion: Most of the respondents had poor knowledge/no knowledge about menstruation.Chatt  Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.15 (1); Jan 2016; Page 31-34

AbstractThe target article by Boyer & Petersen (B&P) contributes a vital message: that people have folk economic theories that shape their thoughts and behavior in the marketplace. This message is all the more important because, in the history of economic thought, Homo economicus was increasingly stripped of mental capacities. Intuitive theories can help restore the mind of Homo economicus.

Abstract We identify the significance and typical requirements of developmental analyses of the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) in parents, offspring, and parent-offspring relations, which have particular importance for neurobehavioral outcomes in mammalian species, including humans. We call for a focus on behavioral measures of social-emotional function. Methodological approaches to interpreting relations between the microbiota and behavior are discussed.

AbstractSETI from space is currently envisaged in three ways: i) by large space antennas orbiting the Earth that could be used for both VLBI and SETI (VSOP and RadioAstron missions), ii) by a radiotelescope inside the Saha far side Moon crater and an Earth-link antenna on the Mare Smythii near side plain. Such SETIMOON mission would require no astronaut work since a Tether, deployed in Moon orbit until the two antennas landed softly, would also be the cable connecting them. Alternatively, a data relay satellite orbiting the Earth-Moon Lagrangian pointL2would avoid the Earthlink antenna, iii) by a large space antenna put at the foci of the Sun gravitational lens: 1) for electromagnetic waves, the minimal focal distance is 550 Astronomical Units (AU) or 14 times beyond Pluto. One could use the huge radio magnifications of sources aligned to the Sun and spacecraft; 2) for gravitational waves and neutrinos, the focus lies between 22.45 and 29.59 AU (Uranus and Neptune orbits), with a flight time of less than 30 years. Two new space missions, of SETI interest if ET’s use neutrinos for communications, are proposed.

There is extensive interest in SiGe for use in heterojunction bipolar transistors. SiGe/Si superlattices are also of interest because of their potential for use in infrared detectors and field-effect transistors. The processing required for these materials is quite compatible with existing silicon technology. However, before SiGe can be used extensively for devices, there is a need to understand and then control the origin and behavior of defects in the materials. The present study was aimed at investigating the structural quality of, and the behavior of defects in, graded SiGe layers grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).The structures investigated in this study consisted of Si1-xGex[x=0.16]/Si1-xGex[x= 0.14, 0.13, 0.12, 0.10, 0.09, 0.07, 0.05, 0.04, 0.005, 0]/epi-Si/substrate heterolayers grown by CVD. The Si1-xGex layers were isochronally grown [t = 0.4 minutes per layer], with gas-flow rates being adjusted to control composition. Cross-section TEM specimens were prepared in the 110 geometry. These were then analyzed using two-beam bright-field, dark-field and weak-beam images. A JEOL JEM 200CX transmission electron microscope was used, operating at 200 kV.

High-pressure oxidation of silicon (HIPOX) is one of various techniques used for electrical-isolation of semiconductor-devices on silicon substrates. Other techniques have included local-oxidation of silicon (LOCOS), poly-buffered LOCOS, deep-trench isolation and separation of silicon by implanted oxygen (SIMOX). Reliable use of HIPOX for device-isolation requires an understanding of the behavior of the materials and structures being used and their interactions under different processing conditions. The effect of HIPOX-related stresses in the structures is of interest because structuraldefects, if formed, could electrically degrade devices.This investigation was performed to study the origin and behavior of defects in recessed HIPOX (RHIPOX) structures. The structures were exposed to a boron implant. Samples consisted of (i) RHlPOX'ed strip exposed to a boron implant, (ii) recessed strip prior to HIPOX, but exposed to a boron implant, (iii) test-pad prior to HIPOX, (iv) HIPOX'ed region away from R-HIPOX edge. Cross-section TEM specimens were prepared in the <110> substrate-geometry.
