The tunneling effects lead to modified Hawking radiation due to inclusion of back-reaction effects. Our calculations show also that noncommutativity effects cause the further modifications to the thermodynamical relations in black hole. We calculate the emission rate of the massive particles' tunneling from a Schwarzschild black hole which is modified on account of noncommutativity influences. The issues of information loss and possible correlations between emitted particles are discussed. Unfortunately even by considering noneommutativity view point, there is no correlation between different modes of evaporation at least at late-time. Nevertheless, as a result of spacetime noncommutativity, information may be conserved by a stable black hole remnant.展开更多

Predicted and measured values for 18 electrolyte mixtures are compared. The two rules are good for mixtures with and without common ions, including those containing associating ions. The deviations of the rule based on the linear isopiestic relation are slightly higher for the mixtures involving very strong ion complexes, but the predictions are still quite satisfactory.The density rule of Pathwardhan and Kumer is more accurate for these mixtures. However, it is not applicable for mixtures containing non-electrolytes. The rule based on the linear isopiestic relation is extended to mixtures involving non-electrolytes. The predictions for the mixtures containing both electrolytes and non-electrolytes and the non-electrolyte mixtures are accurate. All these results indicate that this rule is a widely applicable approach.展开更多

The authors' focus is the design of a tool for educational purposes and its implementation on e-learning database course. The tool presents two stages of database design. The first stage is to draw ERD graphically and validate it. The drawing is done by a learner. Then at second stage, the system enables automatically transformation of ERD to relational database schema by using common rules. Thus, the learner could understand more easily how to apply the theoretical material. A detailed description of system functionalities and algorithm for the conversion are proposed. Finally, a user interface and usage aspects are exposed.展开更多

In fact, the endowment culture plays an irreplaceable part in the social old-age care system. In the period of social transition, the excellent traditional old-age pension culture is destroyed, which makes the cultivation of the old-age social fashion imminent. The atmosphere of respecting the old and establishing a harmonious generation relationship is an important cultural guarantee to establish "five old" and build a harmonious society, in which our country or government bears inescapable responsibilities.展开更多

Quality of urbanization contains its process and result, as well as efficiency and fairness.

Follow principles of being typical, systematic and operational, we can build quality evaluation system from the aspect of its develop level, efficiency and rural-and-urban coordination.

However, HGI is an empirical grindability index without linkages to any known physical parameters. To investigate the effect of energy input on the grinding in Hardgrove mill. a T20WN torque meter was installed on the shaft of a modified Hardgrove mill to record the torque driving the mill. Samples from four kinds of coals with HGI ranging from 36 to 72 were prepared according to the procedure of standard HGI test and ground in a modified Hardgrove mill at different revolutions. The relation of sample size reduction degree to specific comminution energy (Ecs) was studied with Shi-Kojovic model, The results show that Shi-Kojovic model predicted well the coal size reduction degree with Ecs in Hardgrove mill. The griadability index given by Shi-Kojovic model has a similar trend with HGI. The relation of sample size reduction degree to Ecs reveals that HGI has a non-linear relationship with effective specific energy in Hardgrove mill, which explains the non-linear relation of HG1 to industrial pulverizer capacity.展开更多

In this article the author asserts that understanding the rise of political Islam at the world's stage and IR generally can be genealogically traced to two interrelated developments: the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in Egypt since 1928 as a social and political movement against the growing Western influence in the Islamic World after the collapse of the ottoman empire; and the development of the post-World War II IR theories, and practices which provided the basis of the political, military, and security doctrines of the United States and its allies which proved its lack of reliability and validity, particularly as related to the Muslim World, and the role of religion within the Muslim states and place of religion in global politics.展开更多

The paper explores the reason why Kuhn's understanding of incommensurability seems to be necessary for the conception of knowledge in international relations: the concept of incommensurability can be considered typical as it is meant to indicate a conflict, of one form or another, between theories. And the discipline of international relations is more than a perfect ground for considering this concept when one is having in mind the high degree of polarized debate among rivalry theoretical schools (for interpreting and describing the identical phenomena) that is present from the very beginning of the discipline. Recalling the Kuhnian conception of science in paradigmatic view with an aim for understanding--international relations theory, the paper analyzes furthermore his rejection of the traditional dichotomy between “objectivisn”and "subjectivism."展开更多

This suggests a relationship between corporations and society. In this study, that relationship is analyzed, specifically the relationship between levels of CSER and economic institutions. A strong link with institutions is an outcome of institutionalization. The economic institutions applied are economic freedom and legal origin as a proxy for national corporate governance systems. The results of this descriptive study show associations between CSER levels and economic freedom. CSER is also related to national corporate governance systems through legal origin. CSER appears to be institutionalized, or in any case, corporations seem to be aware of the economic institutionalization of CSER.展开更多

Seedlings were grown in Youshida nutrient solution. Salinity treatments were imposed 21 days after sowing with 0 and 100 mM NaCI and seedlings were harvested 0, 72, 120 and 240 hour after salinization. Water (ψw) and osmotic (ψs) potentials, total soluble sugars and inorganic ions (Na+. K+, Cl-, Ca2+ and Mg2+) concentrations and osmotic adjustment were determined in sixth (youngest) leaf. Salinity caused a substantial biomass reduction in rice seedlings, ψs reduction in IR29 was occurred more than IR651. Water potential decreased in both the cultivars under stress conditions, but IR651 was able to maintain higher ψw and kept better growth till the end of the experiment. Osmotic adjustment was observed in IR651 was about 10 times more than in IR29. K+ accumulation decreased in both cultivars under stress condition while Na+ accumulation increased in both the cultivars with higher increase in IR29 seedlings. CI concentration increased in youngest leaf of both IR29 and IR651. Our results showed that tolerant cultivar was able to make osmotic adjustment faster than the sensitive cultivar using high accumulation of solutes especially total soluble sugars.展开更多

文摘In order to study osmotic adjustment and accumulation of anions and cations in rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings under NaCl stress, a greenhouse experiment was conducted using two rice cultivars including IR651 (tolerant) and IR29 (sensitive). Seedlings were grown in Youshida nutrient solution. Salinity treatments were imposed 21 days after sowing with 0 and 100 mM NaCI and seedlings were harvested 0, 72, 120 and 240 hour after salinization. Water (ψw) and osmotic (ψs) potentials, total soluble sugars and inorganic ions (Na+. K+, Cl-, Ca2+ and Mg2+) concentrations and osmotic adjustment were determined in sixth (youngest) leaf. Salinity caused a substantial biomass reduction in rice seedlings, ψs reduction in IR29 was occurred more than IR651. Water potential decreased in both the cultivars under stress conditions, but IR651 was able to maintain higher ψw and kept better growth till the end of the experiment. Osmotic adjustment was observed in IR651 was about 10 times more than in IR29. K+ accumulation decreased in both cultivars under stress condition while Na+ accumulation increased in both the cultivars with higher increase in IR29 seedlings. CI concentration increased in youngest leaf of both IR29 and IR651. Our results showed that tolerant cultivar was able to make osmotic adjustment faster than the sensitive cultivar using high accumulation of solutes especially total soluble sugars.
