‘Openings’ examines the openings of short stories, which move swiftly to introduce subject, event, and motivation, using techniques of speech, viewpoint, description, situation, and timing. Awareness that closure and resolution have been built into the conception of the story from its start brings an expectation of great economy in plotting and characterization. Classic short stories of the 19th century favoured a third-person narrator in order to create the impression of a window onto life. The strategy cultivates the illusion of knowledge, reaching into the interior of characters as well as seeing their appearance. First-person narrators also pose an interesting perspective as they offer authentic psychological exploration of character.

Over the last decade the importance of glycoproteins at the cell surface has become increasingly evident. The role of surface heterosaccharides in cell interaction phenomena will be discussed in terms of those macromolecules providing the cell with a recognition surface; the carbohydrate groups of membrane glycoproteins may be expected to provide considerable variation in surface structure, with great economy of means, commensurate with the large number of specific interactions which take place at the cell periphery. Evidence for surface glycoproteins being involved in cell adhesion will be briefly reviewed. That adhesive specificity might be incorporated into the arrangement of sugar residues within the carbohydrate groups of surface heterosaccharides which are recognized by an appropriate glycosyltransferase on the surface of apposing cells, with the formation of mutable adhesions will be detailed by reference to recent experimental evidence, obtained with malignant rat dermal fibroblasts. In this type of work the use of exogenous glycoproteins as model compounds has proved useful, however, the need to isolate endogenous membrane glycoprotein acceptors is evident and the results of current work in this area will be described.

This paper presents the viability study of water reuse in the seat belt webbing dyeing process, reaching a great economy in the water consumption since the textile operation uses a great amount of water. To achieve this goal, it was tested several products during the effluent treatment that contains biodegradable characteristics and greater efficiency to remove color, also attending to effective legislation and low cost expectation. Using these new products, water consumption was reduced approximately 59% in a month and effluent treatment around 30%. Based on these initial results, is expected to have a payback in approximately five months.

The upcoming decades are expected to be marked by the rise and consolidation of the People's Republic of China, PRC, as the world's first economy, dethroning the U.S. and altering global economic geopolitics. The Dragon Age will mark the 21st century, with all the consequences that can come from it. This chapter analyzes the changes that are already underway and that prepare China to be the world's great economy. The departure point will be the examination of China's economic situation. Following, the authors move on to analyzing the Belt and Road Investment, the Chinese mega investment that aims to connect China to Europe inspired by the ancient Silk Road, making a geoeconomic analysis of the main world markets and how China has long prepared this economic rise and implicates a political and military ascension statement.

Dropout may be happen to round thread connection by main reasons of design and process of product, material’s property, make-up torque or make-up position, field operation problems etc.. Casing’s property has get a high improvement with the development over the past decade in China. But the number of connection dropout accident didn’t declined obviously. These lead to great economy loss and safety hazard had taken place. Research on a round thread connection pullout case was carried out combining relative theorys with tests. Macroscopic analysis and dimension measurement and material’s physical and chemical properties were checked for casings and couplings. Thread inspection and full-scale tests were done for casing simples that are same lot with dropout. Comprehensive analysis was carried out on these results. The results showed that dropout failure was ascribe to two main causes. One is make-up location cann’t reach standard location at field end, and the other is incorrect holding position on coupling in the course of making up.

Punched-card machinery is in fairly common use in Life Offices and in the following paper I shall assume familiarity with the more usual machines, i.e. punches and verifiers, sorters and tabulators, together with ancillary machines such as reproducers, collators or interpolaters, and interpreters. For those who are not familiar with these machines several explanations have appeared already in print, a recent example beingThe development of the punched card methodby K. J. Hedley, read before the Actuarial Society of Australasia in the latter part of 1946 and appearing in theTransactionsof that body. The purpose of the present paper is to explain with some detailed examples of the method of application how the addition of a multiplying punch to a punched-card installation adds greatly to the power of that installation to perform calculations of certain types important to Life Offices, and how those calculations can be performed with great economy of manpower as compared with existing methods. I do not pretend to make an exhaustive survey of the uses of this remarkable machine.

The medieval notion of instrumental cause is not limited to what we call today “instruments” or “tools.” It extends way beyond the realm of technology and includes natural entities, for instance, the accidents by which a substance acts on another substance, sensible species in the air acting on a visual faculty, sacraments, bodily organs, and sometimes creatures with respect to God’s action. In all these cases, instrumental causes, like secondary causes in general, are subordinated to a principal cause and contribute to its action and effects. However, the manner in which they do so makes them different from regular secondary causes, and the specifics are not easy to pinpoint. At the occasion of discussions about creation ex nihilo and sacraments, John Duns Scotus challenges Thomas Aquinas’s theory of instrumental causality. Whereas Aquinas does not strongly distinguish between artifacts and natural agents, and postulates a complex superposition of layers of causation, Scotus offers a novel view that clearly separates artificial instrumentality and natural instrumentality, and in both cases explains causation with great economy. Scotus’s in-depth discussion has far-reaching implications. It completely transforms the understanding of instrumental causality in general.

AbstractWe explore the properties of polynomial Lagrangians for chiral p-forms previously proposed by the last named author, and in particular, provide a self-contained treatment of the symmetries and equations of motion that shows a great economy and simplicity of this formalism. We further use analogous techniques to construct polynomial democratic Lagrangians for general p-forms where electric and magnetic potentials appear on equal footing as explicit dynamical variables. Due to our reliance on the differential form notation, the construction is compact and universally valid for forms of all ranks, in any number of dimensions.
