Although there are...Marble that exploited for micronized calcite production in Nigde area (South Central Turkey) occur in the Upper Cretaceous Gümü ler, A gedi i, and Kaleboynu Formations of the Nigde Massif. Although there are a few marble producing quarries in the area, it is long been known that the marbles of this area are generally highly fractured and don’t yield large blocks or suitable slabs meeting the industrial demands. Thus, most of the production is currently carried out mainly as building stone, crushed stone and micronized calcite. Due mainly to high demand, micronized calcite has been becoming very significant export product to the state’s economy. Because the Nigde marbles are coarse grained with high CaCO3 content, high purity and whiteness, they are considered to be the highest quality micronized calcite quarries in the country. Consequently, the area drew many national and international investors resulting in significant increase in the number and extent of micronized calcite plants in the area. In early 1980’s, the city of Nigde had only one or two plants, it is now well over 5 including foreign investors and joint ventures. Annual production is also considerably increased from 20,000-30,000 tones to almost half a million tones and it is still in increasing trend.展开更多

Moreover, the signal involved must propagate instantaneously so that such a theory could not be Lorentz invariant”. The question now what these signals that can propagate instantaneously? The answer in this paper will be the time signals field which is defined for each constituent matter particle M and at each space point P as the measure of the total length of all occupation and leaving epochs of P by M which is representing a sequence function compactly supported only at the space point occupied by it and indexed by the number of occupation epochs of P by M, thus the flow of this time signal field from the far future to near future through the present to the near past to the far past inferable by the flow of matter particles constituting the system(such as sun, moon earth and clocks hands). Thus the present will represent in this paper a local absolute feature of time signals field defined at each space point as the set of all occupation epochs of it by matter particle, however the past and future will represent relativistic non-local features of the time signal field defined at each space point as a set of all leaving epochs between each two sequential occupation epochs, so the future after one occupation epoch is representing a past of the next one. Thus according to current representation of time, the two Mc-Taggard’s A and B series of time [4] will exist together as temporal set and then the time is real, the A-series in current theory is a set of all occupation and leaving epochs of space point by the matter particle that is consisting of the present, past and future epochs, and the B-series is the set of all leaving epochs of space points between each two sequential occupation epochs which are taking position before or after the discrete occupation epochs between them and then before or after each other.展开更多

The latest resource assessment results, performed by China's three national oil companies (CNPC, Sinopec and CNOOC), also indicate that petroleum exploration still has a solid resource base.

文摘BACKGROUND Nonadherence is a major problem in the treatment of psychotic disorders.It has been hypothesized that nonadherent patients with schizophrenia are not a homogeneous population and subtypes of nonadherence might exist,but this hypothesis has not been specifically tested.AIM To test the hypothesis of subtypes of nonadherence in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.METHODS This prospective study included 110 consecutively admitted patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.Assessments were performed at baseline and at 6 mo follow-up after discharge.Sociodemographic,clinical,psychopathological and treatment-related variables were evaluated.Adherence was defined as the concurrence of adherence to antipsychotic treatment and outpatient follow-up during the six-month period.Adherence to antipsychotic treatment was defined as the concurrence of objective and subjective adherence.Sixty-four patients(58%)fulfilled nonadherence criteria at the end of the followup period and were categorized according to their subtype of nonadherence.RESULTS In nonadherent patients(n=64),32(50%)fulfilled criteria of intentional nonadherence,and 32(50%)of unintentional nonadherence(UNA).Unintentional nonadherent patients,as compared to intentional nonadherent patients,are characterized by older age,lower educational level,worse cognitive and negative symptoms,greater severity,worse knowledge of their treatment regimen,greater prevalence of supervision of the treatment,lower number of prior hospitalizations and greater use of nonpsychiatric treatment,anticholinergics and hypnotics.Low educational level(OR=26.1;95%CI:2.819-241),worse treatment knowledge at six months(OR per unit=0.904;95%CI:0.853-0.957)and nonpsychiatric treatment at six months(OR=15.8;95%CI:1.790-139)were independently associated to UNA.CONCLUSION Differentiated subtypes of nonadherence according to intentionality seem to exist in patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.Our findings suggest the need for differentiated approach,both in future research and in clinical practice.
