Our proposed system discusses the concept of a smart wearable device connected to their parent’s mobile phone for children and their parents respectively. In this project we propose that to let the system be divided into three parts, namely the safe, intermediate and danger zones. If the child is within the safe zone, then no buzzer is sounded whereas if the child is in the intermediate range a buzzer alert will be sounded. If the child crosses the ‘danger’ zone, the buzzer is sounded with an immediate notification sent to the parent. In case the child goes out of danger zone, a GPS module is attached that would help parent know the exact location of the child once he/she is outside the 100meters of radius from the parent. This project also has features to sense the child’s temperature and heartbeat along with notifying the child’s parent in case the child has an accident using the temperature, heartbeat and pressure sensors respectively. The RSSI is used for distance sensing whereas GSM is used for notification sending to the parent’s mobile phone.


Significance Kishida's factional background within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) suggests a dovish orientation towards China. Impacts A lacklustre LDP result in the general election would empower its junior coalition partner, the Komeito, to resist bold security reforms. Larger coast guard vessels and drones will enhance Japan's maritime security. Japan may decide to host intermediate-range missiles co-developed with the United States, to be deployed in Okinawa.

Aim: Different fruit colours are associated with dispersal by different frugivores, largely based on colour vision type. Frugivore mobility affects overall range size for the plant being dispersed. Here we determine the interaction between different fruit colours, range sizes, and diversification rates by testing two hypotheses: That (1) fruit colours attractive to birds have larger range sizes due to their higher dispersal ability, and that (2) different frugivore disperser groups, bird or mammal, leads to different diversification rate at different range size, where intermediate range size leads to the highest diversification rate. Location: Global. Time period: Contemporary (or present). Major taxa studied: Palms (Arecaceae). Methods: Using model selection, we identified three groups of colours with similar diversification rate and likely disperser. Range sizes were estimated and categorized species as small, intermediate, or large-ranged. For model selection and to determine the relationship beween fruit color, range size and diversification rate we used Multi-State Speciation and Extinction (MuSSE) models. Results: Species with intermediate range size had the highest net diversification for all three fruit colour groups. Bird-dispersed palms more likely diversified at small than at large range size while mammal-dispersed palms more likely diversified at larger range size than small. Fruit colours associated with mammal dispersal had more large-ranged species than colours associated with bird dispersal. Main conclusions: The associated between intermediate range size and higher diversification rate indicates that spatial factors that affect diversification at small and large range sizes result in higher diversification at intermediate ranges. We find striking differences in diversification rate within each range size category between fruit color groups. This suggests that the relationship between diversification rate and range size depends on the specific frugivorous dispersers and their dispersal patterns. This study reveals how fruit traits alter dispersal patterns and how that, in turn, influences diversification.

Nitrogen-inversion rates and diffusion coefficients were measured using 1H NMR for 14 drug-like molecules. The slow nitrogen-inversion rates interconverting the enantiomers of these molecules lay within a postulated intermediate range in terms of their ability to bind to proteins bounded by diffusion constraints, potentially affecting the availability, hence efficacy, of these compounds if they were utilized as drugs. The postulated intermediate range is based on a capture-volume concept, whereby the nitrogen inversion during the time a ligand takes to pass through a volume surrounding the protein binding site, as calculated by the diffusion rate, determines if it will influence ligand binding to the protein. In the systems examined here, the measured nitrogen-inversion rates and the times required to traverse the capture volume differed by a few orders of magnitude. Potentially more consequential are intermediate nitrogen-inversion rates in epimeric cases—since the energies of the interconverting species are unequal, a heavy bias against the eutomer might occur. The implications of an intermediate nitrogen-inversion rate are significant for in silico drug design, drug efficacy, molecular modeling of drug–protein binding, pharmacokinetics, drug enantiomer evaluation, etc. Due consideration of the process should thus be taken into account for drug development directions and in vitro evaluation.

The impact of high-energy milling on glassy arsenic monoselenide g-AsSe is studied with X-ray diffraction applied to diffuse peak-halos proper to intermediate- and extended-range ordering revealed in first and second sharp diffraction peaks (FSDP and SSDP). A straightforward interpretation of this effect is developed within the modified microcrystalline approach, treating “amorphous” halos as a superposition of the broadened Bragg diffraction reflexes from remnants of some inter-planar correlations, supplemented by the Ehrenfest diffraction reflexes from most prominent inter-molecular and inter-atomic correlations belonging to these quasi-crystalline remnants. Under nanomilling, the cage-like As4Se4 molecules are merely destroyed in g-AsSe, facilitating a more polymerized chain-like network. The effect of nanomilling-driven molecular-to-network reamorphization results in a fragmentation impact on the correlation length of FSDP-responsible entities (due to an increase in the FSDP width and position). A breakdown in intermediate-range ordering is accompanied by changes in extended-range ordering due to the high-angular shift and broadening of the SSDP. A breakdown in the intermediate-range order is revealed in the destruction of most distant inter-atomic correlations, which belong to remnants of some quasi-crystalline planes, whereas the longer correlations dominate in the extended-range order. The microstructure scenarios of milling-driven reamorphization originated from the As4Se4 molecule, and its network derivatives are identified with an ab initio quantum-chemical cluster modeling code (CINCA).

O texto analisa o encontro entre o presidente estadunidense Ronald Reagan e o primeiro-ministro soviético Mikhail Gorbachev, em Washington, em 08 de dezembro de 1987, para assinar um tratado de diminuição das armas nucleares, que fora firmado em Genebra, em 24 de novembro de 1987, o Tratado de Forças Nucleares de Alcance Intermediário, conhecido como Tratado INF (de Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces), promovendo uma distensão entre as duas grandes potências da Guerra Fria. Tal evento é analisado em comparação com os objetivos pacifistas da ONU e a política de equilíbrio de poder entre os Estados, a partir do que Norberto Bobbio questiona os rumos do sistema internacional no final dos anos 1980.
