Time dependent correlations in marine stratocumulus cloud base height records
The scaling ranges of time correlations in the cloud base height records of
marine boundary layer stratocumulus are studied applying the Detrended
Fluctuation Analysis statistical method. We have found that time dependent
variations in the evolution of the exponent reflect the diurnal
dynamics of cloud base height fluctuations in the marine boundary layer. In
general, a more stable structure of the boundary layer corresponds to a lower
value of the - indicator, i.e. larger anti-persistence, thus a set of
fluctuations tending to induce a greater stability of the stratocumulus. In
contrast, during periods of higher instability in the marine boundary, less
anti-persistent (more persistent like) behavior of the system drags it out of
equilibrium, corresponding to larger values. From an analysis of the
frequency spectrum, the stratocumulus base height evolution is found to be a
non-stationary process with stationary increments. The occurrence of these
statistics in cloud base height fluctuations suggests the usefulness of similar
studies for the radiation transfer dynamics modeling.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures; to appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys. C, Vol. 13, No.

Changes in Out-of-Home Recreation Attitudes under the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Recreation directly affects the factors that create personality. It can evoke feelings of well-being, and satisfaction related to positive identity, growth, creativity, balanced competition, character, mental capacity, individual dignity, physical condition, socialization, and coping attitude. All these characteristics are correlated to one degree or another with public health and welfare. The article aims to study, present, and analyze the changes in out-of-home recreational activities of Bulgarian citizens under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The following methods were applied: desk study of the content of specialized literary sources; analysis of reports and official documents of national organizations; process monitoring; formal and informal interviews with specialists; and expert analysis. The primary empirical data for the article were collected through a questionnaire survey. As a result, peopleβs attitudes towards recreational activities were surveyed, with and without restrictions, and the key changes were studied and systematized. The analysis focuses on changes in recreational activities in the following areas: (i) time used for out-of-home recreation during the COVID-19-related restrictions and after they were lifted; (ii) the change in the types of recreational activities practiced after the restrictions and motivation for that were lifte
A combinatorial approach to the set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation
A bijective map , where
is a finite set, is called a \emph{set-theoretic solution of the Yang-Baxter
equation} (YBE) if the braid relation
holds in A non-degenerate involutive solution satisfying
, for all , is called \emph{square-free solution}. There
exist close relations between the square-free set-theoretic solutions of YBE,
the semigroups of I-type, the semigroups of skew polynomial type, and the
Bieberbach groups, as it was first shown in a joint paper with Michel Van den
Bergh.
In this paper we continue the study of square-free solutions and the
associated Yang-Baxter algebraic structures -- the semigroup , the
group and the - algebra over a field , generated by
and with quadratic defining relations naturally arising and uniquely
determined by . We study the properties of the associated Yang-Baxter
structures and prove a conjecture of the present author that the three notions:
a square-free solution of (set-theoretic) YBE, a semigroup of I type, and a
semigroup of skew-polynomial type, are equivalent. This implies that the
Yang-Baxter algebra is Poincar\'{e}-Birkhoff-Witt type algebra,
with respect to some appropriate ordering of . We conjecture that every
square-free solution of YBE is retractable, in the sense of Etingof-Schedler.Comment: 34 page

The paper reports on stated investigation in bolts, rolled carbon steels, assembling dies instruments and pressed joints as well some investigation of the pressing process of the powder metallurgical materials. The results are discussed about reliability and possibilities of its industrial application
Pediatric hearing loss β causes and management
Introduction: Around 34 million children have disabling hearing loss. The causes leading to impairment in the hearing analyzer are classified as congenital and acquired.Purposes: Early diagnosis and hearing rehabilitation are essential for the childβs development. The purpose of this article is to assist the approach of detection and management of this condition, therefore to highlight the syndromes and diseases that lead to disturbance in hearing, making them more recognizable.Methods: The information in this article is based on our clinical experience with children with hearing disorders as well as on the literature review.Results: Children in whom diagnosis and rehabilitation were performedtimely show better development and more effective results than those where the delay has led to disabilities in linguistic and social abilities.Conclusions: The London Dysmorphology Database has listed 396 syndromes that include hearing disorders, with 30% of congenital deafness being part of syndrome complex. Screening programs in newborns allow early diagnosis and rapid intervention. Some of the causes that lead to hearing loss are treatable, while others are overcome by hearing aids

The hallmark of the disorder is myocardial hypertrophy that occurs in the absence of an obvious hemodynamic stimulus. Since the first case of an experimental treatment of an infant described in 1971, beta blockers have become one of the leading medication options with variations of the dose regimens. According to the current literature data and clinical trials the use of beta blockers in high doses is consistent with a high percentage of survival.We`re presenting a clinical case of an 11-month old infant, who was admitted to our clinic with symptoms of congestive cardiac failure. The chest radiography and echocardiography results showed a severe symmetric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without an obstruction in the left ventricular outflow tract. The treatment was started with Propranolol in a titrating dose until reaching the dose of 5mg/kg/24hours. Several weeks later, echocardiography examination showed a significant improvement in the left ventricle diastolic function with some degree of regression of myocardial hypertrophy.The use of high doses of beta blockers together with the monitoring of the clinical state could improve the prognosis and survival in patients with idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
