Abstract

1. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the first and third parities and one male: four females (1 M:4F) and 1 M:6F sex ratios of White Roman geese on their reproductive performance and biochemical parameters in an environmentally controlled house.2. Ganders (n = 136) and geese (n = 656) from the first and third parity were randomly placed into eight pens. These eight pens were assigned to one of four treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement (two sex ratio groups × two parity groups). The first and third parity treatment groups had 1 M:4F (each pen containing 20 ganders and 80 geese) and 1 M:6F (each pen containing 14 ganders and 84 geese) sex ratio treatment groups, respectively, replicated twice.3. Blood samples were collected from the geese at different time points: upon entering the house (ST), the beginning of the lighting regime of 7 L:17D for six weeks (LC6W), lighting adjustment to 9 L:15D for 6 weeks (9C6W), the peak of egg production (PEP) and the end of egg production (EEP).4. The first parity group had a longer laying period than the third parity (274 vs.191 days). First parity had a lower egg production rate than third parity during whole stage (18.7 vs. 25.4%). Fertility in 1 M:4F group was significantly higher than in 1 M:6F rate group (54.7 vs. 45.1%) at all periods.5. Plasma levels of total protein, albumin, globulin, triglycerides, calcium and phosphorus concentrations were significantly higher for whole laying period in first parity geese compared to third parity birds.

Abstract

Induction of holes not only in the superconductive CuO2 plane but also in the Bi2O2+d charge reservoir of the Bi2Sr2(Y1-xCax)Cu2O8+d superconductor upon CaII-for-YIII substitution is evidenced by means of two independent techniques, i.e., high-resolution x-ray-absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy measurements and coulometric redox titrations. The absolute values derived for the CuO2-plane hole concentration from the Cu L2,3-edge XANES spectra are in good agreement with those obtained from the coulometric redox analysis. The CuO2-plane hole concentration is found to increase from 0.03 to 0.14 concomitantly with the increase in the BiO1+d/2-layer hole concentration from 0.00 to 0.13 as the Ca-substitution level, x, increases from 0 to 1. The threshold CuO2-plane hole concentration for the appearance of superconductivity is determined at 0.06, while the highest Tc is obtained at the hole concentration of 0.12. In the O K-edge XANES spectrum, the increases in the CuO2-plane and BiO1+d/2-layer hole concentrations with increasing x are seen as enhancement in the relative intensities of the pre-edge peaks at ~528.3 and \~530.5 eV, respectively., Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures, to appear in Phys.

6. T=0 Partition Functions for Potts Antiferromagnets on Lattice Strips with Fully Periodic Boundary Conditions

Author

Chang, S. -C. and Shrock, R.

Subjects
Condensed Matter - Statistical Mechanics
Abstract

We present exact calculations of the zero-temperature partition function for the $q$-state Potts antiferromagnet (equivalently, the chromatic polynomial) for families of arbitrarily long strip graphs of the square and triangular lattices with width $L_y=4$ and boundary conditions that are doubly periodic or doubly periodic with reversed orientation (i.e. of torus or Klein bottle type). These boundary conditions have the advantage of removing edge effects. In the limit of infinite length, we calculate the exponent of the entropy, $W(q)$ and determine the continuous locus ${\cal B}$ where it is singular. We also give results for toroidal strips involving ``crossing subgraphs''; these make possible a unified treatment of torus and Klein bottle boundary conditions and enable us to prove that for a given strip, the locus ${\cal B}$ is the same for these boundary conditions., Comment: 43 pages, latex, 4 postscript figures

Abstract

Part of the urban heat island effect can be attributed to dark pavements that are commonly used on streets and parking lots. In this paper we consider two light colored, hence cooler, alternative paving materials that are in actual use in cities today. These are Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements and chip seals. We report measurements of the albedos of some PCC and chip sealed pavements in the San Francisco Bay Area. The albedos of the PCC pavements ranged from about 0.18 to 0.35. The temperatures of some PCC pavements are also measured and calculated. We then consider how the albedos of the constituent materials of the PCC (stone, sand and cement) contribute to the albedos of the resulting finished concrete. The albedos of a set of chip sealed pavements in San Jose, CA, were measured and correlated with the times of their placement. It is found that the albedos decrease with age (and use) but remain higher than that of standard asphalt concrete (AC) for about five years. After that, the albedos of the chip seals are about 0.12, similar to aged AC. The fact that many PCC pavements have albedos at least twice as high as aged AC suggests that it is possible to have pavement albedos that remain high for many years.

22. Quality of Life of Adults with Intellectual Disabilities Who Live with Families in Taiwan

Author

Chou, Y. C., Schalock, R. L., Tzou, P. Y., Lin, L. C., Chang, A. L., Lee, W. P., and Chang, S. C.

Abstract

Background: Little research has been conducted about the quality of life (QOL) of people with intellectual disabilities (ID) in Taiwan, particularly their subjective QOL. This study examined the personal perceptions of these individuals as measured on internationally recognized core QOL domains and indicators. Methods: A census interview survey was conducted in Hsin-Chu City in Taiwan; 233 adults aged over 16 years with mild ID and living with their families participated in the study. Data were collected using the Cross-Cultural QOL Indicators (CCQOLI) together with socio-demographic data that included "activities of daily living" and "instrumental activities of daily living" (IADL). The CCQOLI were based on the three most commonly reported indicators of each of the eight QOL domains: emotional well-being, interpersonal relations, material well-being, personal development, physical well-being, self-determination, social inclusion and rights. Each indicator has two sets of questions related to the indicator's "importance" and "use". These are answered by the respondent using a 4-point Likert scale. Results: The importance and use of the QOL indicators were evaluated positively by the respondents. The adults' individual characteristics, namely IADL and educational level, were significant predictors for the "importance" while the adults' perceptions of "use" for overall QOL were significantly affected by his/her socio-economic data, that is, residence location and father's educational level.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Medical education has emphasized the importance of integrating medical humanities training into the curriculum to benefit medical and nursing students' future practice, featuring in the list of national funding priorities for healthcare education research in Taiwan for many years. However, the extent to which this drive has resulted in medical humanities training, what rationales underpin its inclusion, and its efficacy is largely unknown. This study aims to address these issues across medical humanities programs within the Taiwanese context. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review. Inclusion criteria included studies in English or Mandarin reporting outcomes of medical humanities courses in healthcare education settings in Taiwan between 2000 and 2019. We searched across five electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, ERIC, PsycInfo, Web of Science), following PRISMA guidelines. The Best Evidence Medical Education (BEME) Global Scale and Kirkpatrick Levels are used for identifying the strength of evidence. RESULTS: 17 articles were extracted from the 134 identified. Intrinsic and instrumental rationales for the inclusion of medical humanities education were common, compared with epistemological-based and critical-based approaches. Several positive impacts were identified in relation to participation including modification of attitudes, knowledge, and skills. However, the highest level (i.e., unequivocal) of evidence characterized by effects on students' behaviors or ongoing interaction with colleagues and patients is lacking. CONCLUSION: Findings suggest that although medical humanities education is widely implemented in Taiwan, no clear consensus has been reached regarding the rationale for inclusion or how it is localized from Western to Asian contexts. Future research still needs to explore the long-term impact of medical humanities education for medical and nursing students and its impact on patient care.
