    8IB .3 .5. THE SPECTRUM OF RHO CASSIOPEIAE. I* Wallace R. Beardsley! Yerkes Observatory 196lApJS. Received August 20, I960; revised September 16, 1960 ABSTRACT This paper constitutes an analysis of an extensive series of spectrograms of p Cassiopeiae taken by several observers principally with the 82-inch telescope of the McDonald Observatory both during and after the deep minimum in light of 1946. Identification measures by Tai and Thackeray before the minimum have been combined with detailed measures by the writer during and after the minimum, to form a catalogue of the spectral lines as seen on plates of medium dispersion. A group of 23 selected zero-volt lines were analyzed for radial-velocity and intensity changes. Although no change in radial velocity was detected, marked changes in intensity did occur. The hydrogen lines in p Cas in 1936 were found to be as strong as, or even stronger than, in ô CMa. Weakness of the hydrogen lines as early as 1939 may be evidence of spectral change leading up to the 1946 minimum. Evidence is cited for an over- lying shell in which the TiO is formed. Unlike RV Tauri stars, the spectral type from line ratios at minimum light was also M3. The spectral type after minimum varied progressively from K5p to G5p, even reaching F8p during the “flare-up” of 1950. The behavior of emission in the hydrogen and Ca I X 4227 lines is discussed, as well as the presence of a sharp absorption core in Ca I. This core also was probably due to an overlying shell.

  • RULES 2004 Final Amended
    INTERNATIONAL PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE ATHLETICS SECTION COMBINED RULES 2004 PREAMBLE For competition at Paralympics and I.P.C. World Championships, this book shall be used, along with the current I.A.A.F. Handbook. It contains all the rules, which govern an I.P.C. Athletics competition, written in a way, which is compatible with the rules of the governing body for athletics, the International Association of Athletics Federations (I.A.A.F.). In this way, officials, coaches and athletes may find rules to cover any event in a single document, rather than having to refer to separate books for each group. The rules must be read in conjunction with the I.A.A.F. rules, contained in the Handbook of that Association. For the period including the 2004 Athens Paralympics, the version of the I.A.A.F. Handbook to which this book refers is the 2004-2005 edition. The rules concerned are the Technical Rules of Competition as described herein, and additional rules as shown. The reference to the I.A.A.F. Handbook does not confer any responsibility onto the I.A.A.F. for the I.P.C. Rules. Each of the I.O.S.D.’s has its own cycle of rule changes, and this volume does not intend to change any rules so decided. It is quite simply a means of simplifying the task of reading the rules for those concerned. NOTES This Rule Book will remain in force until the publication of the next I.A.A.F. Handbook, at which time a new edition will be published to take account of any new I.A.A.F.

  • The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders Diagnostic Criteria for Research
    The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders Diagnostic criteria for research World Health Organization Geneva The World Health Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations with primary responsibility for international health matters and public health. Through this organization, which was created in 1948, the health professions of some 180 countries exchange their knowledge and experience with the aim of making possible the attainment by all citizens of the world by the year 2000 of a level of health that will permit them to lead a socially and economically productive life. By means of direct technical cooperation with its Member States, and by stimulating such cooperation among them, WHO promotes the development of comprehensive health services, the prevention and control of diseases, the improvement of environmental conditions, the development of human resources for health, the coordination and development of biomedical and health services research, and the planning and implementation of health programmes. These broad fields of endeavour encompass a wide variety of activities, such as developing systems of primary health care that reach the whole population of Member countries; promoting the health of mothers and children; combating malnutrition; controlling malaria and other communicable diseases including tuberculosis and leprosy; coordinating the global strategy for the prevention and control of AIDS; having achieved the eradication of smallpox, promoting mass immunization against a number of other

  • Hexagonal Logic of the Field F8 As a Boolean Logic with Three Involutive Modalities
    Preliminary version of a paper published in: A. Koslow and A. Buchbaum (eds.) The Road to Universal Logic. Festschrift for 50th Birthday of Jean-Yves Béziau, Vol. I, Series: Studies in Universal Logic, 2015, XII, 191-220. Hexagonal Logic of the Field F8 as a Boolean Logic with Three Involutive Modalities René Guitart In friendly homage to Jean-Yves Béziau, on the occasion of his 50th birthday Abstract. We consider the Post-Malcev full iterative algebra P8 of all functions of all finite arities on a set 8 with 8 elements, e.g. on the Galois field F8. We prove that P8 is generated by the logical operations of a 3 canonical boolean structure on F8 = F2, plus three involutive F2-linear transvections A; B; C, related by circular relations and generating the group GL3(F2). It is known that GL3(F2) = PSL2(F7) = G168 is the unique simple group of order 168, which is the group of automorphisms of the Fano plane. Also we obtain that P8 is generated by its boolean logic plus the three cross product operations R×, S×, I×. Especially our result could be understood as a hexagonal logic, a natural setting to study the logic of functions on a hexagon; precisely it is a hexagonal presentation of the logic of functions on a cube with a selected diagonal.

Received: 14 January 2020; Accepted: 19 February 2020; Published: 24 February 2020 Featured Application: This article presents an application of deep learning in preference detection performed using EEG-based BCI. Abstract: The traditional marketing methodologies (e.g., television commercials and newspaper advertisements) may be unsuccessful at selling products because they do not robustly stimulate the consumers to purchase a particular product. Such conventional marketing methods attempt to determine the attitude of the consumers toward a product, which may not represent the real behavior at the point of purchase. It is likely that the marketers misunderstand the consumer behavior because the predicted attitude does not always reflect the real purchasing behaviors of the consumers. This research study was aimed at bridging the gap between traditional market research, which relies on explicit consumer responses, and neuromarketing research, which reflects the implicit consumer responses. The EEG-based preference recognition in neuromarketing was extensively reviewed. Another gap in neuromarketing research is the lack of extensive data-mining approaches for the prediction and classification of the consumer preferences.
