Geometry of flocks and n-ary groups

Semiabelinan flocks and n-ary groups are characterized by the properties of parallelograms and vectors of the affine geometry defined by these flocks and n-ary groups

Contemplative medicine: A practical approach to “Well-Being 2.0” in medicine

Objective: To examine the relationship between Contemplative Medicine training and clinician burnout. Methods: Clinicians underwent a 12 month training program in Contemplative Medicine, which addresses several of the “Well-being 2.0” framework elements. An uncontrolled pre and post test study design was used with the validated Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) as the study tool to evaluate efficacy of the program. Results: Participants demonstrated improvement in burnout levels after the intervention. There were significant differences at the 0.05 significance level or better on all three scales of the MBI instrument when comparing baseline to follow-up responses, including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and sense of personal accomplishment. Particular improvement was noted in the “personal accomplishment” domain, with p \u3c 0.01 when comparing baseline and follow-up responses. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that Contemplative Medicine training is a viable approach for improving clinician burnout and concretely implementing the “Well-being 2.0” framework

Wild Dog Management: Best Practice Manual

Wild dogs (all wild-living dogs including pure-bred dingoes, hybrids, and domestic dogs running wild) are one of the major pest species impacting on grazing industries across mainland Australia. In this Manual, the text refers to dingoes where the information is derived from studies of essentially pure dingoes. Elsewhere the text usually refers to the more generic term, wild dogs. The information in this Manual is based on scientific studies, including detailed evaluations of techniques and strategies, as well as considerable practical experience from doggers, Department of Agriculture and Food staff and land managers. Much of this Manual focuses on sheep enterprises which, with goat enterprises, are at the highest risk of wild dog predation. Although the effects of wild dogs on cattle can also be significant and widespread, wild dogs are easier to control in cattle areas.https://researchlibrary.agric.wa.gov.au/bulletins/1211/thumbnail.jp

Vibrational spectroscopy investigation using M06-2X and B3LYP methods analysis on the structure of 2-Trifluoromethyl-10H-benzo[4,5]-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one

In this study, the experimental and theoretical vibrational frequencies of a newly synthesized bioactive agent namely, 2-Trifluoromethyl-10H-benzo[4,5]-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one (TIP) have been investigated. The experimental FT-IR (4000-400 cm(-1)) and Laser-Raman spectra (4000-100 cm(-1)) of the molecule in solid phase have been recorded. The theoretical vibrational frequencies and the optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) have been calculated using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP: Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr) and M06-2X (the highly parametrized, empirical exchange correlation function) quantum chemical methods with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set by Gaussian 09W software, for the first time. The assignments of the vibrational frequencies have been done by potential energy distribution (PED) analysis using VEDA 4 software. The theoretical optimized geometric parameters and vibrational frequencies have been found to be in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data and results in the literature. In addition, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy and the other related molecular energy values of the compound have been investigated using the same theoretical calculations.
