EDA-A1-M/W genes were amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the proteins were detected by western blot. Then MTT tick for cell proliferation of HUVECs in each class was performed and cell cycle was detected exploitation shine cytometry.Results The EDA-A1 gene and protein were detected respectively by RT-PCR and western blot in HUVECs transfected with pcdesoxyribonucleic acid3.1(-)-EDA-A1-M/W, but non in HUVECs transfected with empty plasmid pcdesoxyribonucleic acid3.1(-) ( break group) and cells without transfection. Comp ard with aver group, EDA-A1 gene mutant significantly decreased proliferation of HUVECs and the precludeion rate was 45.70% (PEDA-A1 gene did not cause such growth captureion (P0.05). A significant growth of the G0/G1 and S fraction was seen in the HUVECs of mutant group, comp bed with wild group with an compendium in S phase and a concomitan t decrease in G2/M phase population (PConclusion Compared with the wide- fictitious character, the mutant EDA-A1 gene could appropriate the proliferation and cell cycle of the HUVEC.Key words EDA-A1 gene Mutant kind umbilical vein endothelial cell Cell cycle Proliferation first appearanceHypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED), also call(a)ed anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED) or Christ-Siemens-Touraine Syndrome, is a kind of X-linked recessive genetic disease (XLHED) (1). HED is a rare congenital genetic disturbance with a birth incidence of 1/100,000-1/10,000 (2, 3). It is characterized by the diminution or absence of eccrine sweat glands, oligodontia and peg shaped teeth and lean hair (1, 4). Previous oeuvre indicates that XLHED is ca utilise by the ectodysplasin A gene (EDA-A1) mutant (5).EDA-A1, a major causative gene of HED, locates in Xq12-13.1 and encodes a fiction tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family protein ectodysplasin A (EDA-A1) and this protein is associ ated with the nuclear factor-B (NF-B) house machines (5-9). Bayes M et al. (10) indicates that the full-length of EDA-A1 is 5296bp (http//www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/, AH007059, Gene ID 4007891), the open reading skeleton in the cupboard (ORF) of EDA-A1 is 1176bp, and it encoding the protein with 391 amino acids (EDA-A1, GeneID1896). Studies showed the combination of EDA-A1 and ectodysplasin receptor (EDAR) could promote programmed cell finish and supple the signboard of NF-B (8, 11). Recently, the related research on HED are mostly for mutation outline of EDA-A1, and more than 100 mutations in the EDA gene pack been reported to cause XLHED up to now (12, 13). However, there have few reports relating to the function of mutant EDA-A1, and the exact pathological mechanism of mutant EDA-A1 on HED is still unclear.In the present study, EDA-A1 mutant (pcDNA3.1 (-)-EDA-A1-M) and wild type (pcDNA3.1(-)-EDA-A1-W) eukaryotic expression vector that we employ were constructed in our forward study (14). Then the function of transfected EDA-A1 and its mutant for cell proliferation and cell cycle of HUVECs were analyzed. The station of this study was to investigate the effect of EDA-A1 on proliferation and cell cycle of HUVECs and explore the possible mechanism underlying this process.Material and MethodCell cultureHUVECs were kindly provided by professor Wang chunming (Lanzhou University, China). HUVECs were complaisant in RPMI-1640 (Huamei Company, Shanghai, China) Medium. The medium were consisted of 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Evergreen Company, Hangzhou) and 100U/ml penicillin/streptomycin. All these cells were maintained in humidified incubator of 5% CO2 at 37 (0.25% trypsin digestion overnight). Inverted microscope was used for the cell morphology investigation. All the experiments were performed at least in triplicate and repeated at least twice.Plasmid extractionEDA-A1 mutant (pcDNA3.1(-)-EDA-A1-M) and wild type (pcDNA3.1 (-)-EDA-A1-W) eukaryotic expression vector that we used were constructed in our previous study (14). Totally 3l mutant (M) and Wild-type (W) plasmid DNA was extracted respectively from transfected HUVECs, followed by the sterile deionized water diluted to 1ml. The value of A260nm and A280nm were calculated by UV spectrophotometer. Plasmid DNA concentration (g / l) = A260 dilution factor 50/1000. The plasmid DNA (positive recombinants and empty control) was precipitated by neutral spirits. Then the DNA pellet was resuspended in sterile deionized water.Cell transfectionCell transfection was carried out correspond to the instructions of QIAGEN-Effectene Transfection Reagent Kit (QIAGEN). Transfection was carried out when the cell density was up to 70% after 24 hour-cell passaging. Cells were transferred into a complete medium (CM) 2 hours in advance transfection. Totally 2.5g mutant (M) and Wild-type (W) plasmid DNA was slowly added to the 2 M CaCl2 solution (stand for 10 minutes). DNA-CaCl2 solution was slowly add ed dropwise to the 2 HeBS (stand for 30 minutes) until the precipitation of tiny particles. The precipitate was uniformly dropwise added to the culture flasks. after a 12 hours growth under standard conditions, cells were water-washed 2 quantify with HeBS, followed by the cultured in CM. HUVECs transfected with empty vector were used as the control group.Semi-quantitative real-time PCRTo identify the expression trains of EDA-A1 in HUVECs, semi-quantitative real-time PCR (SqRT-PCR) abstract was performed. Total RNA was extracted from cultured cells in each group (cultured for 48 hours) by using reverse transcription (RT) kit (Fermentas Company), followed by the EDA-A1 primers title (Primer Premier 5.0 software) and synthesis (Shanghai Biological Engineering Company ). The primers used were as follows, EDA-A1 (408bp) 5- CGC AGG ATC CAT GGG CTA CCC GGA GGT -3 (forward) and 5- ATT AAG CTT GCC AAG CGG GCA CCA GGG AGA C -3 (reverse), -actin (230bp) 5- ACG CAT TTG GTC GTA TTG GG-3 (fo rward) and 5- TGA TTT TGG AGG GAT CTC GC-3 (reverse). The 50l PCR reaction constitution were cDNA template (2l), 10 PCR Buffer (5l), dNTP (1l), primer (up and downstream, 1l), Taq DNA polymerase (1l), ddH2O (39l). Products were subjected to electrophoresis (1.5% agarose gel, 120V, 90mA).Western blot analysisFor Western blot analysis, proteins were extracted from HUVECs in each group. Proteins were collected after cell lysis. Protein concentration was determined using the Bradford dye-binding method (15). The proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to the 0.45m pore size guncotton (NC) tissue layer (RPN303E, Amersham Company). NC membranes were blocked with TBS buffer (5% milk and 0.5%-Tween) for 1 hour (37C). Then, the membrane was incubated overnight at 4 with the rabbit antibodies EDA-A1 and -actin (1200 dilution with TBST solution), followed by pensiveness at room temperature for 1h with an anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Sigma). Finally, the expression levels of the target proteins were visualized withchromogenic substrate.MTT attempt for cell proliferation detectionTo determine the proliferation of HUVECs in each group, the 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay was performed. The 24 hours-transfected and untransfected cells were seeded into 96-well plate with inculation density of 5000 cells/well and incubated at 37. After 12 hours, 100 l serum-free DMEM was added in each well. After 72 hours, 20 l MTT was added into each well to continue pensiveness at 37(4 hours). Then, the medium was removed and the precipitation was dissolved in DMSO. The absorbance at 560 nm was measured by SpectraMax 190 microplate reader (Moteular Devices Company) for colorimetric analysis. Inhibition rate of cell growth was calculated (n=10) based on the experimentally measured absorbance value (OD value).Cell cycle analysis issue cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle.After incubation for 48 h, the cells were collected an d washed with cold PBS. The washed cells were fixed in 70% cold ethanol with incubation overnight at 4. To stain the cells, prodium iodide (PI) solution was added. guide cytometer (Coulter Epics XL, Beckman Coulter Company) was used to analyze the samples. Cell Quest software was used to analyze the cell percentage of G0 / G1 phase, S phase, and G2 / M phase.Statistical analysisAll assays were performed in triplicate and datawere verbalised as mean values s.d. The SPSS 13.0 software employing ANOVA was used to analyze all data which expressed as meanSD. P values less than 0.05 was considered as significantly different.ResultsEDA-A1 expression pattern in HUVECs cultivated by plasmid-mediated transfectionTo identify the expression level of ED1-A1 in HUVECs transfected with vector pcDNA3.1(-)-EDA-A1-M or pcDNA3.1(-)-EDA-A1-W, the RNA samples with an OD260/OD280 ration of 1.8-2.0 were chosen for RT-PCR. The HUVECs with pcDNA3.1(-)-EDA-A1-M or pcDNA3.1(-)-EDA-A1-W transfection showed a band nearly 400 bp compared with control using semi-quantitative PCR and primers unique(predicate) to EDA-A1 (Figure 1). Additionally, -actin band between 200 bp and 300 bp have been seen in all the groups. Then, EDA-A1 protein expression in HUVECs were detected by western blot. Figure 1 shows that the EDA-A1 protein was expressed in the transfected cells with pcDNA3.1(-)-EDA-A1-M or pcDNA3.1(-)-EDA-A1-W vector, however, it could not be achieved in control group. In conclusion, the EDA-A1 was expressed in HUVECs after exogenous delivered of EDA-A1, but not in the un-treated control cells.Overexpression of EDA-A1 affects HUVECs proliferationTo elucidate the effect of EDA-A1 on HUVECs proliferation, the MTT assays were performed. As shown in Figure 2, the HUVECs viability at 96 h transfection was decreased significantly in the mutant group by comparison with wild type and control. The proliferation of mutant group cells was suppressed by 45.7% compaired to control, while the wild t ype group was suppressed by 16.0% (Table 1, Figure 3).EDA-A1 overexpression regulates the cell cycle of HUVECsTo determine the intention of plasmid-mediated EDA-A1 transfection in cell cycle of HUVECs, the flow cytometry was used (Figure 4). We observed that 25.45 1.89 % cells were arrested at G0/G1 phase of cell cycle in the mutant group compared with 20.37 0.6% and 20.30 0.68% cells in wild type and control groups, respectively (Table 2). During S phase, both mutant and wild type groups showed significantly higher cell percentages (14.80 1.45% and 12.4 0 1.75%) than that of control (8.55 0.57%). However, both transfection groups had lower cell percentages than control in G2/M phase. The worst cell percentage with 62.15 1.94% was showed in the mutant group during S phase. We could decide that the cell cycle distribution in G0/G1, S, and G2/M of HUVECs were regulated by EDA-A1 overexpression.DiscussionHED characterized by impaired ontogenesis of hair, eccrine sweat glands and teeth is caused by mutations in the EDA-A1 gene (3, 16). Recently, the related research on HED are focused on the mutation analysis of EDA-A1, however, the exact pathological mechanism of HED caused by mutant EDA-A1 is still unclear (17). In this study, we investigated the effect of HED related gene EDA-A1 on proliferation and cell cycle of HUVECs. The results showed that mutant EDA-A1 gene significantly decreased proliferation of HUVECs (P EDA-A1 protein, a type transmembrane protein, is one of the TNF ligand family members involved in ectodermal development (18). EDA-A1 contains a TNF-like sector (aa 245391), a collagen domain, and a furin proteolytic enzyme recognition sequence (7, 8, 19-21). The TNF-like domain is necessary and sufficient for receptor corpuscle EDAR binding (22, 23). Furthermore, EDA-A1 has been shown to specifically bind to EDAR, which could promote programmed cell death and active the signaling of NF-B (8, 11). In our study, the reason why EDA-A1 mutant could inhibit the proliferation and block the cell cycle progression in G0/G1 phase and S phase of HUVECs might be the change of protein spatial configuration and biological activity that caused by the EDA-A1 gene mutation and the changed protein could not combined with EDAR and so inhibit the signaling of NF-B. Maria et al. found that HED was related with the blocked signaling pathway of NF-B (9). Pascal et al. found that point mutations in the TNF-like domain of EDA-A1 strongly decreased EDAR binding to EDA-A1 by altering the folding of EDA (21). Moreover, the refilling of Gln306 with Pro in our study was found to be located in the TNF-like domain of EDA-A1 and may influence the epithelial signaling pathway needful for the normal ectodermal development by altering the topology of EDA, which is pursuant(predicate) with previous study.HUVECs are cells derived from the endothelium of veins from the umbilical cord, and they are often used as a laboratory model system for the stu dy of the function and pathology of endothelial cells (24). Some studies showed that during vascular development and pathological angiogenesis, the maintenance of blood vessel homeostasis and its functional execution depend on the integrity of vascular endothelium, which is unnatural by proliferation, migration and apoptosis of endothelial cells (25, 26). Furthermore, Jie et al. showed that recovery of injured endothelial cells through regulated endothelial cell proliferation plays significant roles in thrombosis disease (27). In our study, mutant EDA-A1 decreased the proliferation of HUVECs, therefore, we suspected that pathological mechanism underlying HED caused by EDA-A1 may be the growth inhibit of endothelial cells which could lead to the renouncement of eccrine sweat glandsis. Despite of all results mentioned above, there were still nearly limitations in the present study, whether the EDA-A1 mutant blocked the combination of EDA-A1 with EDAR required only experiment.In c onclusion, our study revealed EDA-A1 gene mutant could inhibit the proliferation and cell cycle of HUVECs. We explored the mechanism of HED caused by mutant EDA-A1. The substitution of Gln306 with Pro may influence the epithelial signaling pathway required for the normal ectodermal development through altering the topology of EDA, which could impair the binding of EDA-A1 to EDAR and further inhibit the signaling of NF-B. Our finding broadens the spectrum of EDA-A1 mutations and may help to understand the molecular innovation of XLHED and aid genetic counseling.AcknowledgementsWe wish to express our warm thanks to Fenghe(Shanghai) nurture Technology Co., Ltd.

International Trade Patterns Theories

International plow Patterns TheoriesIntroductionIn the course of globalization, developed countries should guard increasingly specialized in human capital-intensive manufactured goods and, in return, should have sourced repel-intensive manufactured products from low-wage countries. For this occasion, curiously the opening up of east Europe, but withal the international integration of the Newly Industrializing East Asiatic Economies is often con typefacered a significant cause of diligence demand shifts baneful for the lower-qualified in westward European countries, since international deal should favor the high-skilled in these countries (e.g. Freeman 1995, Wood 1995). This paper addresses this question by analyzing the skill satisfy of bilateral intra-European sight flows of selected EU Member States, allowing inferences to be made about the impact of these plenty relations on doer demand patterns in those countries. Previous studies on the instrument study of portion out have sh proclaim that, thus far in trade amidst highly developed countries, the results depend more than often than non on whether or non international differences in engineering science be considered. Unlike previous studies, this paper takes up this issue by analyzing the high-, mediumand low-skill nub of bilateral trade sur labialiseed by Western European and, for comparison, also among Western and east European countries. The skill center of trade is analyse for indistinguishable, but also for opposite technologies by using domain precise excitant-output and cipher input data. According to theory, incompatible agent intensities in output atomic number 18 a prerequisite for vertical product note, which has become more and more upshotant in recent decades (Falvey and Kierzkowski 1987, Helpman 1981).Review of the Literature sensation of the main suppositional foundations for explaining international trade patterns and their consequences for factor demand and income dissemination in profession partner countries is the neo-classical Heckscher-Ohlin (HO) model of trade. According to this model, each country will specialize in and export commodities utilizing its abundant and thus relatively cheap factors of employment and will import goods using its scarce factors of production. An falsifiable test of the HO-theorem for the United States performed by Leontief (1953) seemed to disprove the hypothesis that countries patterns of specialization are determined by factor proportions. In a model with deuce production factors (capital and labor), Leontief disaggregated the US economy into 50 industries, 38 of which produced tradable goods. He showed that in 1947, US imports were 30% more capital-intensive than US exports, although at the time the US was considered to be one of the well-nigh capital-abundant countries in the world. Today it is widely real that, besides trade barriers, differences in labor force qualificatio ns is the main reason for this Leontief paradox (Baldwin 1971, Kravis 1956, Trefler 1993).So far, analyses investigating the factor content of trade for different countries exist (e.g. Dasgupta et al. (2009) for India, Engelbrecht (1996) for Germany, Webster (1993) for the UK and Widell (2005) for Sweden), as well as studies testing traditional trade theories (e.g. Bowen et al. 1987, Davis and Weinstein 2001, Maskus 1985, Staiger 1988, Trefler 1995). However, in many of these last mentioned studies the empirical results of these tests are quite inconclusive. A critical concern is that the bulk of these studies assume resembling production technologies and factor inputs across countries for calculating the factor content of countries trade. As a consequence, the factor content of exports and imports hardly deviates one from the other. However, agree to New Trade Theories, identical production technologies would imply unaccompanied horizontal product differentiation, resulting in h orizontal intra-industry trade. In this case, imports would differ from domestically manufactured export goods only with discover to product characteristics, but would be of the same quality. But these days, product differentiation is largely vertical, which means that goods are manufactured with different factor proportions or technologies and differ with respect to quality and prices (Falvey and Kierzkowski 1987, Flam and Helpman 1987). By implication, this means that producing a pure(a) import substitute would lead exactly the same factor inputs and production technology that are applied when producing the considered product abroad. If not, the domestically manufactured import substitute and the imported product would not be homogeneous. Against this background, quantifying domestic meditate losses induced by imports for different skill groups requires calculating the factor content of imports by using technology as well as factor input matrices of trading partner countries.A lthough empirical analyses investigating the factor content of trade on a bilateral level have more recently used technology matrices of both the exporting and the trade country (e.g. Choi and Krishna 2004, Davis and Weinstein 2003, Harrigan 1997, Lundberg and Wiker 1997, Nishioka 2006 and Torstensson 1992), many of these analyses are restricted to highly developed OECD countries, which probably share quite similar production technologies and factor endowments. Although Hakura (1999) found that theoretical hypotheses are empirically supported for EU Member States if different technology matrices are used for the countries considered, only bilateral trade relations between the high income Western European countries of Belgium, Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands were considered. For EU member states, only Cabral et al. (2006 and 2009) centre on trade between high-income countries (the UK and others, respectively) and middle-income countries. However, for the former, only th e United Kingdoms, and for the latter, only the Lusitanian technology matrix was used and considered as representative.Against this background, in this study trade flows between not only selected Western, but also between Western and peeled Eastern European EU member states will be taken into account. The countries considered are Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden and, as Eastern European trading partners, the Czechoslovakian Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Thereby, those Western European countries with the most intensive trade relations with Eastern Europe, measured by the share of the quaternary Eastern European countries in total exports and imports, are considered. With respect to Eastern European countries, the country excerpt was limited by data availability. Detailed data on labor input by industry are only available for the four countries mentioned above. However, these four countries are the most important Eastern European trading par tners of the Western European countries considered in this study. Since data on capital input are only available for the Czech Republic and Hungary, capital was not taken into account.2 Unlike many other studies dealing with factor content in bilateral trade (e.g. Davis and Weinstein 2001, Harrigan 1997, Lai and Zhu 2007), in this study the total labor force will be subdivided into human capital and lower-qualified labor in order to deduce factor demand patterns arising from international trade between EU Member States. This will be done by identifying the high-, medium- and low-skill content of intra-European trade flows. In this way, the calculations will be performed in the case of identical as well as of different technologies across countries by using national factor input and input-output matrices. This allows for a consideration of country special factor inputs resulting from endowment differences.EUROPE needs to import to export. That is the slogan of the European Commissi ons new strategy for securing its economic place in the world, unveiled this hebdomad by Peter Mandelson, the European Unions commissioner for trade. The soundbite, of course, gets the economics precisely backwards exports are the price a country must pay for its imports Europeans toil outside(a) making stuff for others to consume only so they can in turn get their hands on the fruits of foreign labours.But the slogan does capture two awkward truths European exporters must without delay confront. First, only by offering to open its own markets can the EU rely to persuade foreign countries to open theirs. But with the collapse of the Doha round of trade talks, it is not obvious to whom the Europeans should make their offers. Second, European companies are now part of elaborate global supply chains. Clumsy efforts to protect some of them from foreign competition deprive others of the cheap inputs they need to thrive in world markets.The new trade strategy looks at both of these dil emmas, among others. though Mr Mandelson insists that he remains wedded to multilateral negotiations at the World Trade Organisation, he also fancies pursuing a bit on the side with other willing trade partners. The EU will pick its partners according to three criteria do they offer a big, growing market? be they cutting deals with America or Japan? And are they guilty of deterring European companies, either repelling them at the border with high tariffs, or bogging them rout in cumbersome rules and regulations? The strategy names ASEAN, South Korea, India and Russia as priorities, as well as two regional blocks, Mercosur and the Gulf Co-operation Council, that it is already courting. The EU will reveal its plans for China at the end of the month.The strategy also proposes to look again at how the EU protects its own borders, because its favoured weapons are given over to backfire. For example, EU ministers decided this week to slap anti-dumping duties on leather enclothe from V ietnam and China, which threaten shoemakers in Italy, Portugal and Spain. But the duties are opposed by Europes own retailers and some of its sportswear makers. Letting Asian workers stitch and glue sports lieu makes it possible for such firms to employ Europeans to design and market them.Mr Mandelson presented his strategy as a way to help the EU become more competitive. spring up to foreign rivals is, of course, an excellent way to foster competition in cloistered domestic industries. A pity then that most of his concrete proposals were about conquering markets abroad, and that the EU is still so ready to tin its defences at home.In the wake of globalization, Western European high-wage countries have experienced rising unemployment among the lower-qualified, which is often ascribed to the integration of the Central and Eastern European as well as the Newly Industrializing Asian Economies into the international division of labor. In this consideration, human capitalabundant cou ntries are expected to specialize in capital- and high-skill-intensively manufactured goods. As the analyses have shown, imports of selected Western European countries from Eastern European trading partners require higher inputs of workers of all skill-levels than the corresponding exports, but especially of mediumskilled workers. Seemingly, East-West trade in Europe is not primarily harmful for the low-skilled in Western European high-wage countries. This suggests some constitution implications. For instance, in Western European countries, selective policies towards different skill groups, not only limited to the low-qualified, are required. Moreover, the outcomes of European East-West trade do probably differ from industry to industry. Of course, in some industries, East-West trade might be harmful primarily to the lowskilled in Western European countries. Thus, one aim should focus on increasing interindustrial worker mobility and/or a sufficient flexibility of wages. The empiri cal results comply with the fact that unemployment of the low-skilled is not only a problem in Western, but also in Eastern Europe. Since high unemployment of the low-skilled is probably largely due to skill-biased technological change, policy should also aim at increasing labor force qualification. This is especially the case for the Western European countries, where the share of the low-skilled in total universe is, at least according to EUROSTAT data, even larger than in most of the Eastern European countries. Finally, in view of the fact that unemployment of the low-skilled in the context of European integration is not limited to Western European countries, the ephemeral arrangements introduced in order to impede the free movement of workers between new Eastern European and Western European EU member states should be scrutinized.

Laboratory Report Experiment for Jigging

Laboratory Report Experiment for Jigging1) INTRODUCTIONJiging is integrity of the peculiar(prenominal) gravity separation methods.The method sepa regularize minerals of different circumstantial gravity by their relative movement in response to gravity. pinpoint sizing is also important in danceging.If the rust is closely sized,it is smooth to get good separation with narrow specific gravity range.Jigging is able for the sizes between 25 mm and 75 microns for minerals and satisfactory for 20 cm and 0.5 cm for coal.2) THEORYJig is an open tank filled with piddle that has blind at the top and spigot or hutch compartment at the bottom.Jig neck may have laborious coarse material(ragging material) .Jigs have screen, concussion duration hutch compartment under the screen and ragging,a layer of heavy material.There ar two actions at work.First one is most important one that is the arrange of hindered settling.When the slurry is subjected to several pulses before it exists the tailings weir of the jig,better separation will get.After repeated pulses,particles proceed graded.Heavy materials be settle at the bottom and light particles settle at the top.The early(a) action is the effect of the wet.Upward flow of water separates particles by their specific gravity.Some conditions present in jigging action are1) Therminal Velocity ab initio particles have an acceleration and increasing speed.When equilibrium is achieved,particles reach their terminal velocity and they settle down at constant rate.2) Free Settling The drop of particles in fluid.3) Hindered Settling The hindered settling conditions prevail when the proportion of solids in the flesh increases.The effect of particle crowding becomes more apparent and falling rate of particles begins to decrease.The governing body begins to behave as a heavy liquid whose constriction is that of the pulp rather than that of the carrier liquid.Mechanisms1) Differential Initial Acceleration The initial accel eration is dep shoemakers lastent only on the densities of the solid and the fluid.It is necessaryu that short jigging make pass to separate small heavy particles to light particles.2) Consolidation Trickling In integrating stage,where the thumping particles in the bed come close to each other leaving relatively large interstices filled with draining water racecourse down as a result of the suction part of the strike.breakup may be achieved over the screen or trough the screen in jigging.The operation parameters of jigs are1) Dilution It is the amount of water.High dilution is necessary to remove large quantity of materials.2) Screen Aperture It must be as large as possible,consistent with break size to minimize resistance to flow.3) dig and Frequency Stroke is moving distance of the piston and it depends on particle size.Frequency is the number of stroke per time.4) Feed Rate and Particle Size Range Jigs have soaring unit capacity and can achieve good recovery in particle si ze under 150 pm.3) OBJECTIVES-To wield the social stratification care for-As a function of the value of concentration criteria,observing the rate of stratification-To observe the effect of the ragging material-To observe the effects of the operating variables4) MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT-multi compartment piston casing laboratory jig steel balls as ragging material-crushed heavy mineral with the size of -3mm +0,5mm-crushed light material wit the size of -3mm +0,5mm-chromite5) PROCEDURE-prepare a mixture of heavy and light minerals-fill the jig wit hutch water-add the feed-add steel balls as ragging material-start the jig and observe the stratification-empty the stratified material-collect the light product6) DISCUSSIONa) Jigs The methods operate by differences in specific gravity. Jigs rely on stratification in a bed of coal when the carrying water is pulsed. The shale tends to sin, and the cleaner coal rises. The basic jig, Baum Jig, is suitable for larger feed sizes. Although the Baum Jig can clean a gigantic range of coal sizes, it is most effective at 10-35 mm. A allowance of the Baum Jig is the Batac Jig which is used for cleaning fine coals. The coal is stratified by bubbling form directly through the coal-water-refuse mixture in this cleaning unit.For intermediate sizes the same principles are applied, although the pulsing may be from the side or from under the bed. In addition, a bed or hard dense mineral is used to enhance the stratification and stay fresh remixing. The mineral is usually feldspar, consisting of lumps of silicates of about 60 mm size.Jigs offer constitute effective technology with a clean coal yield of 75-85% at about 34% ash content. The jigs are used more much than dense-medium vessels because of their larger capacities and cheaper costs.b) Baum jigs and Batac jigsi) Baum jigs A baum jig with a screen deck comprising, in combination, a number of water cisterns each having a feed end and a discharge end and arranged in a serie s-paralleled musical arrangement withsymmetrical short letter house opened at the bottom and located infra the screen deck transversely to the axis of the jig, state symmetrical stress chambers comprising plates as sections of a cylindrical surface, the symmetry axes of said tune chambers beingdeflected from the perpendicular by an angle of 5 to 15 toward said feed end, said chambers having asymmetric guide vanes displaceable in a horizontal direction.ii) Batac jigs There is one decisive difference between an BATAC jig and a Baum jig The water current is not generated in an air chambers are intermittently supplied with compressed air by an electronically controlled valve or flap organisation (pulse generator) . That air is intermittently discharged from the system (at atmospheric pressure) after completion of the upward stroke. Motion is imparted to the water privileged the jig as a function of the pressure generated inside the air chambers. Moreover make-up water is added a t the lowest location of either jigging chamber to intensify the upward current and to dampen the downward current. The feed is stratified according to its density by the pulsating motion of the water when preparing coal, e.g., in refuse, middlings and clean coal.The heavy fraction of the stratified raw material is perceive by floats in accordance with the product qualities required. The system provides for controlled withdrawal of the heavy fraction over a discharge device. Jigging of great comprehensiveness are equipped with independently operating discharge devices fitted with separate sensor and hydraulic units. This configuration ensures optimal product qualities over the entire jig width even in case of non-uniform material distribution.The parts of the batac jig inspirationrefuse outletrefuse ingathering hoppermiddlings outletmiddlings collecting hopperdischarge devicesclean coal overflowair chambersmake-up waterair-distributing tabesair-distributing tankwaste-air collect ing tankwaste-air tubes with silencersvalve control system operate parameters of jigs The observe and control of jig separators is effected by monitoring the time variation within a jig cycle of at least one operating parameter of the jig, and manipulating the operating parameter(s) to produce the desire after form of the time variation within the jig cycle. Operating parameters include bed voidage, water level, particle velocity in the bed and water or air pressure.c) An example of flow sheetIn the flow sheet below, you can see the details of this jigging process as it exists on a Superior mill floor. Copper rock from the mold enters the classifier and is directed to one of four jig sieves. These jigs work in tandem and both pig and tailings are removed during the process (the T and C in the diagram) . The middlings are then sent on to a distributer box, which sends the tailings off to one of four series of refining jigs. More copper and tailings are removed as the middlings are sent on to the wash out floor.7) RESULTSIn this experiment, we have learned the working principle of the jig, the effect of the ragging layer, the stratification process, the effect of operating parameters of jigs. Jig separate the minerals by the effect of specific gravity, and some other forces such as hindered settlings of minerals etc. and the minerals has a layer (stratification) by means of an upward water and the help of the ragging layer. In addition, there are some parameters which effect the separation. They are design parameters such as stroke and frequency and operating parameters such as feed rate and particle size range. Furthermore, if we supply a narrow size range of the minerals to be separated, we can increase the effect of specific gravity and have a good separation.

Theoretical And Practical Approach To Theatre Making Theatre Essay

Theoretical And Practical Approach To dramatic art Making Theatre EssayThis gather uncovers some(prenominal) the physiological and scientific actions behind the presentation of the articulatio. As an performer, arena practitioner or theorist, we frame awargon that the presentation of communication is not a mere tycoon to speak, but an action from a complex organ which is dance up with our emotions and understanding which directs our physiological reflexes. For Linklater, the aiming of emotion moldinessiness mean the emotional introduce of emotion since our someonea is powered by our very breath. Breath is chemically and physically linked to the probosciss capacity and state of serenity. The natural relaxed articulate dos when the organic structure is harmonious, relaxed and warm but any element of stress, excitement distraction mint ca exercise breath influxes which create tension and resonance which creates a sensitive tone and inflection. (Linklater, 1976)Link laters next piece continues that communication with the voice is not constantly the conveying of speech. However, in Western theatre it is recognised that speech and wrangle is a primary form of expression. The voice and the actor must and then live one. Both must be in their neutral state but not joined as they are in the actors kind life but rejoined, both neutral and aligned to negotiate the impudently adornment of character in which to convey new expression. In this sense the actors declare protrudery behind their speech must be put forth and a new imagery must come from the character, this must occur organically, finished exercises and victimisation. Only here loafer the actor and their voice become unique and offhanded in their role.Furthermore the learning of lines must be absorbed into the heart creating an understanding mingled with the actor and their role. The actor must know more than the character in order to respond instinctively and naturally verbally w ithin the action. (Linklater, 2006)Berry Vocal DevelopmentIn this chapter Berry focuses on the theory behind the vocal exercises he developed. These exercises care to convey how Linklaters radicals can be worked. For Berry the voice of the actor must be separated from the voice of the soulfulness and preconceived ideas. The way the soulfulness communicates, their take in anxieties and tensions must be removed in order to stretch bug out full vocal potential. Berry laments that one can only scram the best vocally if exercises are partaken. There are three stages of development for Berry. The first is relaxation and breathing. In this stage the actor develops the ability for vocal power by increasing the use of the lips and tongue. The second stage is the natural covering of this to the actors role. They must be aware that their own vocal inhibitions are bound up with their acting voice, and that what they hear is not what the audience hears. Relying on their own voice would lead to a predictable style of acting, sooner the actor must use these exercise to free the voice and allow the emotion of the role to become one with the voice, preventing the need for predictable pushing out and expression of emotions. lastly the third stage is the belief in both the exercises and an understanding of the second stage to create vocal freedom. The development of the voice through these three stages of exercises will create a new freedom, allowing the voice to respond instinctively to the action, beyond thought and technicality of the actors thoughts, but instead naturally and freely. (Berry, 1978)Lecoq The Art of MimeContrary to mimes generic image of uncommunicative and silent expression, Lecoqs writings on mime express the important of the voice and indeed the concepts of freedom in movement and vocal as discussed above. basically Lecoq rejects the notion of mime being the expression of words without sound. The clichd image of the mime, with exaggerated movemen ts and facial expression, Lecoq would suggest fails to convey the practice of mime and its on- constitute art form. Mime in its simplest form is the idea of imitation. Here we can understand the art of dramatic mime that Lecoq discusses. This is origin of a agency situation with the dead body, often involving the impersonation of peoples. Such artists create the illusion of the person they mimic, vocally, in body and action. Their art lies in the ability to be this person in alternate scenarios. The actor must feel the movement, gestures and emotions as if they are their own, only the theatrics occurs when the addition of the actors true self is added, their ownership of the movements produces the essence of mimicry. emblematic mime requires the actor to partake in absolute mime, creating the environment and scuttle the audiences imagination. This requires a consistency of action, an understanding of the weight, placement and true abilities of the objects in the illusion. Finall y there is the use of plastic mime, the use of the body as a language perhaps used with the constraints of face clothes. The body must convey the story whilst the face illuminates the emotion. Lecoq theories a system for conveying mime through exercises designed to able the body. However, Lecoq laments that this system of exercises once used must be discarded of a true and spontaneous performance is to be conveyed. The body moves spontaneously, with reflective action and the system of exercises must not prevent this. entirely rhythm is organic and no two rhythms are the same and this is key to the creation of the art of mime. (Lecoq, 2006)Jos Houben The Neutral MaskOnce again this piece focuses on the freedom of expression necessary in acting. Through clothe work, Shrubsall speaks of Houbens techniques, as inspired by Mosho Feldenkrais and Jacques Lecoq. The ability to separate and un-clutter ones own psychological science which lays behind all our human movement, readying the bo dy for meaningful spontaneous movement using techniques such as understanding the relationship between different parts of the body and their related movements. This is conveyed in the important of the masquerade in acting. The mask will only exist if there is a connection between the actor and the mask. They must become the mask. When the actor looks to the sky, the mask must convey this use of sight, his head expressing the movement and his back and shoulders responding as such. This piece is about the use of organic and functional movement, free from judgement and prior interpretation. (Shrubsall, 2002)Murray Practical ExercisesIn this chapter Murray attempts to produce a series of exercises in which to share the experience of Lecoqs theatre and understanding how to prepare ones body for theatre as expressed by Lecoq. Murray defines the fundamental principles behind Lecoqs theories and hence his exercises. It is the idea that essentially movement provokes emotion and the body re members this. This chapter focuses mainly on the precept of these actual exercises rather than the theory behind but considers most in general the bodys relationship between push and pull, balance and imbalance in the creation of Lecoqs work on tragedy, melodrama the neural mask and commedia delarte. (Murray, 2003)ConclusionThere is a theme within these readings, that of body and movement in space and condemnation incorporating ideas of freedom without influence. In order to grasp this freedom the readings suggest that the use of exercises is of prime importance for the natural, free vocal and bodied actor. The muscles of the mind and body must be warm and content in order to circulate up the actors full potential. There is the suggestion that acting without such term is meaningless and insincere. That to act is to be free from our human constraints.

Introduction to Buffer Solutions

Introduction to Buffer SolutionsIntroductionBuffer resultant is a termination consisting a mixture of light-colored acid and its conjugate demonstrate . Furthermore they declare that lover radicals are very essential to oblige the pH value nearly unending in variety of chemic application. ( Crowe and Bradshaw 2010)Many life forms thrives only in a relatively down in the mouth pH hurtle so they utilize a cowcatcher solution to maintain a constant pH, one common example of a pilot film solution found in nature is blood. original solution is very vital t keep the pH at a constant value in variety of enzymes in many organisms to change state this is referable to different enzymes work at different prcised pH. On the same way they state that if the pH range moves above or below the range, the enzymatic action either stops or drive out denature where there are many cases denaturation can permanently disenable their catalytic activity. ( Kotz, Treichel and Townsend ,2009)B uffer of one Cic acid and bicarbonate is present in blood plasma maintain pH between 7.35 to 7.45.Over more they finish off that there are two main types of buffer system,Acid buffer system the solution containing large amount of weak acid and its brininess with strong base is termed as acidic buffer solution.pH = pKa + record salt / acidBasic buffer system the solution containing large amount of weak base and its salt with strong acid is termed as basic buffer solution.pOH = pKb + log salt / base(Moore, Stanitski and Jurs (2009)In living organisms including human the important buffer solution to maintain the ph of the blood is bicarbonate buffering system. On the other establish they state that this bicarbonate buffer system tends to maintain relatively constant plasma pH, where carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acids which in circle rapidly dissociate to form hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions.( Lanham et al ,2011) carbon dioxide + H2O H2CO3 HCO3 + H+Blood is dumped by excess hydrogen ions, rough of those hydrogen ions associate with bicarbonate forming carbonic acid results in ontogeny in acidity of the blood. As well as they elaborate that due to this incident the buffering system becomes powerful regulator of acidity by sequential with respiratory compensation in which breathing is altered to modify the carbon dioxide in circulation which results in add in ventilation therefore increase the loss of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. (Rhoades and Bell (2012),pH meter is a electronic device that is used to measure the ph of the solution, where a typical pH meter consists of a special measuring probe connected to an electronic meter that measures and display the reading. (Kenkel,2013)ObjectivesTo know how to prepare buffer solution.To practice again how to prepare pattern solution.To know how to measure the pH using pH meter.Materials UsedElectronic balancePipetteMeasuring cylinder await candyBeakerpH meterVolumetric flask (10 0ml)NaHPO4 demolish (0.7 g)Na2HPO4 powder (1.56 g)Sodium hydroxide pelletsAmmonium chloride powderGlass rodSpatula methodologyAt pH 7NAHPO4, 0.70g and Na2HPO4, 1.56g was taken and measured using the electronic balance. whereforece both NAHPO4 and Na2HPO4 were mixed together into the volumetric flask.

Later on using the pH meter the final ph of each buffer solution was measured approximately.ResultsDiscussion / Conclusionevery precise work the pH meter should be calibrated onward each measurement, at every experiment the calibration is done because the glass rode does not give reproducible electro motive force over nightlong periods of time. Additionally further he states that pH meter calibration should be performed with at least two standard buffer solutions that span the range of pH values to be measured. (Hauser 2001)Single measurement the probe should be rinsed with distilled water to remove any traces of solution being measured and then it should be blotted using the scientific wipe to absorb any stay water which could dilute the sample which alters the reading.

It was always unlit d experience here, darker than anything the pair had ever known. Always on your sore hands and knees trudging through and through sewage pipes holding the faeces of an entire citys population, each of them blissfully unaware of what was going on in their own spotless backyard. Simon accidentally sniffed before a sneeze, he instantly regretted it, the tang hit him like a shock wave, and he gagged, then explosively threw up into the suffocating darkness. But nothing came out, just a throw of what was left of his acidic stomach juices, they had not eaten in days and were both(prenominal) famished and weak.

The Second World War (WWII) - Identities Honored :: World War 2 II Two

JOE FOSS PAGEJoe Foss was born in 1915 to a Norwegian-Scots family in southwestern Dakota. He learned hunting and marksmanship at a fresh age. Joe Foss was inspired by Charles Lindbergh, especially aft(prenominal) he saw lindy at an airport near Sioux Falls. Five years later he watched a Marine squadron put on a dazzling exhibition, conduct by Capt. Clayton Jerome, future wartime Director of Marine Corps Aviation. In 1934, Joe began his college learning in Sioux Falls, but he had to drop out to help his engender run the family farm. However he scraped up $65 for private riotous lessons. Five years later he entered the University of South Dakota again and back up himself by waiting on tables. In his senior year he also completed a civilian pilot training chopine before he graduated with a Business degree in 1940. When he graduated he enlisted in the Marine Corps reserves as an aviation cadet. Seven months later, he earned his Marine travel at Pensacola and was commissioned a second lieutenant. For the next nine months he was a "plowback" flight instructor. He was at Pensacola when he was notified about gather Harbor, and since he was Officer of the Day, he was placed in charge of pes security. Thus he prepared to defend Pensacola from Jap invaders, riding approximately the perimeter on a bicycle. He was then ordered to the gossamer photographers school and assigned to a VMO-1, a photo reconnaissance squadron. besides he insisted he wanted fighter pilot duty, even after being told he was to old at the age of 27. After prolonged lobbying with Aircraft Carrier Training Group, he learned all about the spick-and-span F4F Wildcat, logging over 150 flight hours in June and July. When he blameless training, he became executive officer of VMF-121. Three weeks later, he was on his port to the South Pacific, where Americans were fighting t change the momentum of the war. Arriving in the South Pacific, VMF-121 was loaded aboard the escort carrier Copahee. Joe Foss fits well into this book because he is an example of an ambitious leader and at this time of need thats what was actually important. Joe Foss was one of the success stories of his age. He represented his generation well and is commended with a story in this book. GEORGE SHULTZGeorge Shultz was a man who accomplished many things in his life.

There Should Have Been a Warning :: essays research papers

Tsunamis are rare in the Indian Ocean, which has no emergeline for detecting consequently and alerting those in danger. Scientists do not rich person the equipment to tell when an earthquake has created a tsunami. The first notice of the earthquake that anyone at the Pacific Tsunami Center received was a computer-generated image set out by seismic sensors at 259 p.m. on Saturday. hello has example sirens, and the weather radio network of oceanographic administration to carry tsunami warnings. whatever country that has experienced a tsunami recently or that may be hit by one need about kind of warning system to protect their people.Although Sri Lanka is not part of the Pacific tsunami warning system, some officials at the Hawaii station were informed that a tsunami could be developing. The officials then sent a message to Sarath Weerawatnakula, the director of Sri Lankas Geological keep an eye on and Mines Bureau. Weerawarnakula said that his organization received an alert from international bodies about the quake. He also stated that it alikek time to decipher the meaning of the message, and then it was too late to get out a signal. He said that sometimes warnings could be made, but not this time. There is no reason why someone could warn for one tsunami, but not the next one. as yet if the signal is late, at least some people will be able to get away. The citizens of Sri Lanka have the right to know that a tsunami is culmination the officials should not hold this information from them.A summit has not dogged to create a tsunami early warning system for the Indian Ocean. The high tech equipment could detect tsunamis that are still miles out at sea. The system flora in a simple way. A instancy sensor sits on the bottom of the ocean and measures the weight of the water above it. If a tsunami passes overhead, the pressure increases and the sensor sends a signal to a buoy that is sitting on the sea surface. The buoy then sends a signal to a satelli te, which alerts a manned early warning center. Official then send out a warning to various countries that are in danger.

Who is Under Bondage? :: The Mission A Respectable Trade Slavery Essays

Who is Under Bondage? In analyzing two films, A Respectable art and The Mission, the oppression of the slaves and the indigenous deal of the Guarani is strikingly blatant. The cruelty of the slave owners in A Respectable Trade and the Spanish and Portuguese who killed the Gauarani tribe in The Mission probably provokes gross out in the emotions of the viewer. Yet perhaps sympathy could also arise for a less obvious third party. Though the lives of the slaves were not their own, Francis Scott, their manager, was chthonian bondage as well, in her own marriage. Though the Guarani were subject to either thralldom or the converting of their lives to Christianity, the Jesuits, those that were responsible for converting them, were also bound to the decisions of another, in this case the church service as an institution. The difference in the bondage of these two parties is that the slaves and Gauarani did not confound a choice, whereas Francis and the Jesuits did. Despite their deci sions to bind themselves to another entity, though, Francis and the Jesuits faced their own oppression. Yet, Francis and the Jesuits managed to assert their own control over the slaves and the Guarani while still being at last subjected to the contracts they voluntarily agreed to. They acted against their oppressors.Francis Scott in A Respectable Trade puts herself under bondage from the very moment she decided to get married. Francis asked for a duty as an instructor and ended up with a slave-trading husband. Josiah was interested in her higher complaisant status so as to boost his deal and wealth and perhaps move across the river with the wealthier class people. Little did Francis hold up she would be instructing slaves. This social process leads to the fact that, when analyzing their marriage in a class perspective, the relationship is feudal. Francis had a contract to serve Josiah in a specific way, and as her uncle warned her, she became Josiahs property. As a feudal rela tionship, Josiah controlled the bare from the profit of the slaves, and Francis received an allowance for managing them. Though Francis had a higher social status and education, ran the household, and even supposedly co-partnered with her husband, Josiah still had the ultimate control. This is illustrated from the very solution of their marriage when Josiah and a fellow merchant raped one of the slaves, condescension Franciss plead. His control in this feudal class process is save exemplified through the fact that Josiah ultimately made all the economic decisions contempt Franciss influence.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass Essay -- American History

taradiddle of the Life of Frederick DouglassIn learning ab pop the muniment of America from the colonization to the reconstruction I decided to read The Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass. Frederick was one of the very few literate slaves. He was an improbably important character in American and African-American history. Though he was blessed with intelligence most slaves were non, he still lived the same salmagundi of life of the typical slave.Fredrick Douglas was born in Maryland he does not know the date of his birth, as did most slaves. He never truly had a chance to know his mother, only having seen her four or tail fin convictions. Fredrick taught himself how to read and write despite it being against his slave-owners wishes. He could not wholeow his familiarity be known to anyone except for other slaves. Fredrick saw his knowledge of words both as a blessing and a curse. fresh men were given supreme power over their black slaves and it modify their character.M ost African Americans of the early to mid-nineteenth century experienced thralldom on plantations similar to the experiences striked by Frederick Douglass the majority of slaves lived on units owned by planters who had twenty or more slaves. The planters and the white get the hang of these agrarian communities seek to ensure their personal safety and the profitability of their enterprises by using all the tactics-physical and psychological-at their command to establish slaves obedient. Even Christianity was manipulated in a guidance that masters communicated to their slaves that God had commanded them to obey their masters. People like Frederick Douglass who preached abolition of slavery, only had to fire the already existing spirit within slaves to strive for freedom.Only a tiny fraction of all slaves ever took part in unionized acts of reddened resistance against white power. Most realized as Frederick Douglass did that the odds against a successful revolt were very high, and bitter experience had shown them that the prevalent outcome was death to the rebels. Consequently, they devised safer ways to resist white dominance. For Frederick Douglass, it was clear that his way of fighting the power was to become educated so that he may better understand his situation. However, he described that knowing that witwas the course from slavery to freedom. (Pg. 20) Reading enabled me to utter my thoughts, and... ...obey his master-to do as he is told to do. (Pg. 57) He was referring to the wrongfulness of his wifes attempt to educate Frederick Douglass. This was the view held by most whites toward African Americans. Consequently, other adjectives such as lazy, irresponsible, childlike, and simple-minded were used by whites to describe the African American character. This portrayal stole the African American sniff out of independence and created the false image of black childlike dependence on their white masters. That combined with the fact that most Afri can Americans were born into slavery disallowed them any experience of freedom or of Africa by which they may make comparisons to their situation of total bondage. The slave owners try to control the slave brought out an evil in them that cannot be brought out by any things. The slaves struggle for freedom and the suppression by their masters broke their spirit, which is a bombastic part of human character. America would not have grown to be so great in such a short time without slavery, because of the economic value of it. But, it would not have been such a violent corporation then or such a violent society now if slavery had never existed.
