Stability of Liquid Rope Coiling
International audienceA thin ‘rope' of viscous fluid falling from a sufficient height coils as it approaches a rigid surface. Here we perform a linear stability analysis of steady coiling, with particular attention to the ‘inertiogravitational' regime in which multiple states with different frequencies exist at a fixed fall height. The basic states analyzed are numerical solutions of asymptotic ‘thin-rope' equations that describe steady coiling. To analyze their stability, we first derive in detail a set of more general equations for the arbitrary time-dependent motion of a thin viscous rope. Linearization of these equations about the steady coiling solutions yields a boundary-eigenvalue problem of order twenty-one which we solve numerically to determine the complex growth rate. The multivalued portion of the curve of steady coiling frequency vs. height comprises alternating stable and unstable segments whose distribution agrees closely with high-resolution laboratory experiments. The dominant balance of (perturbation) forces in the instability is between gravity and the viscous resistance to bending of the rope; inertia is not essential, although it significantly influences the growth rate

Occupational stress among male employees of esfahan steel company, Iran: Prevalence and associated factors
Background: Lack of data on occupational stress among Iranian industrial employees persuaded us to design and conduct this study to evaluate the prevalence and associated parameters of occupational stress among male employees of the Esfahan Steel Company (ESCO), one of the biggest industrial units in Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 400 male employees were sampled from the operational divisions of the company. Socio-demographic data and stress-related variables were entered into a logistic regression to determine significant associated factors of occupational stress among the participants. Results: From all samples, 53 were found as stressful. A monthly salary of less than 600 (OR = 1.88, 95 confidence interval CI = 1.21-2.94), family-related problems (OR = 2.75, 95% CI = 1.22-6.21), work environment (OR = 3.09, 95% CI = 1.78-5.33) and having a second job (OR = 2.68, 95% CI = 1.78-6.78) were significantly associated with the outcome. Conclusions: Attention to some variables, especially economic problems and the work environment of employees, might play a protective role against the prevalence of occupational stress, not only among the employees of ESCO but also among all industrial employees in Iran
The Nowdan anticline of the Zagros orogen as a geoheritage ‘window’ into the late Mesozoic– Cenozoic evolution of the African–Arabian continental margin
Geological heritage can contribute to our understanding of the long-term evolution of important sectors of our planet.
Cretaceous–Neogene rocks (chiefly carbonates) crop out in the Nowdan anticline of the Zagros orogen. Field investigations
have permitted the establishment of 10 key localities (stratigraphical reference sections) that represent these rocks
within this anticline, which is a single large geosite. The formations are related to the main phases in the evolution of the
northeastern sector of the African–Arabian continental margin. For instance, carbonate rocks of the Asmari Formation
mark changes in the affinity of the study area, from the African–Arabian plate to only the Arabian plate, separated in
conjunction with Red Sea rifting during the Oligocene. Information on the palaeogeographical changes is really precious
to geoscientists and geotourists alike, and contributes to the great value of the Nowdan anticline geosite. Evidence
from the latter, as well as from a few other places (i.e., the Mountainous Adygeya geodiversity hotspot in Russia, the
North Coast of São Paulo in Brazil and the possible Gondwanan geopark in Namibia) illustrates the necessity of distinguishing
a palaeomapping subtype in palaeogeographical characterisation of geological heritage
Pengaruh Atribut Brand Ambassador Syahrini Terhadap Keputusan Pembelian Tora Bika Kopi Susu (studi kasus pada santri pesantren Mahasiswa Al Hikam malang)
Abstract This study aims to determine the effect and analyze the effect of visibility, credibility, attraction, power and purchasing decisions simultaneously and partially on the purchase decision of Tora Bika Kopi Susu. The population in this study was in the santri pesantren of Al Hikam Malang students. The sample used in this study was 93 respondents. The sampling technique to determine the sample to be used in this study uses non probability sampling, namely purposive sampling. Purposive sampling is a limiting method of sampling a person's special characteristics which provides information that is more focused and in accordance with what the researcher wants. Analysis was carried out using questionnaires. The results of this study indicate Visibility / X1 (006), Credibility / X2 (001), Attraction / X3 (000), Power / X4 (000) show partially the results (t test) have a significant effect on purchasing decisions. While simultaneous results (f test) on the table obtained F in the count of 36,653 and a probability of 0,000. Because sig F count <5% (0,000 <0,05), shows simultaneously significant effect on purchasing decisions. Keywords: Visibility, Credibility, Attraction, Power and purchasing decision
The effect of 2 mMol glutamine supplementation on HSP70 and TNF-α release by LPS stimulated blood from healthy children.
OBJECTIVE: Glutamine has been shown to promote heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) release both within experimental in vitro models of sepsis (2-10 mM) and in adults post trauma (0.5 g/kg), although the efficacy varies and is dependent on the model used. The effect of glutamine supplementation on HSP70 release in children is less clear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 2 mM glutamine added to incubation media on HSP70 and inflammatory mediator release in an in vitro model of paediatric sepsis using whole blood from healthy paediatric volunteers. METHODS: An in vitro whole blood endotoxin stimulation model using 1 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) over a 24 h time period was used to investigate the effects of 2 mM glutamine on HSP70 and inflammatory mediator release in healthy children. RESULTS: The addition of 2 mM glutamine to the incubation media significantly increased HSP70 release over time (p < 0.05). This was associated with an early pro-inflammatory effect on TNF-α release at 4 h (p < 0.005) which was not seen at 24 h. There was a non significant trend towards higher levels of IL-6 and IL-10 following the addition of 2 mM glutamine, which appears to differ from the response reported in adult and animal models. CONCLUSION: Glutamine supplementation of incubation media promotes HSP70 and early TNF- α release in an in vitro model using blood samples from healthy children.This is the author accepted manuscript.

K Pair of disjoint paths Algorithm for Protection in WDM Optical Networks
Survivable routing in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks has been proven to be NP-hard problem. There is a trade-off between the computational time and the optimality of solutions in existing approaches to the problem. Existing heuristic approaches purely based the graph algorithms are efficient in computational time but do not offer optimal solutions and may fail in some cases even when a solution exists. Meanwhile, the integer linear programming (ILP) models offer optimal solutions but are intractable even with moderate scale networks. In this paper, we introduce a new algorithm for finding K pairs of disjoint paths which are employed as K candidate pairs for each connection in the ILP models. We introduce an ILP model for dedicated path protection in which the number of decision variables is mainly dependant on traffic requests and the constant K, not on the network siz
