On the Establishment of Patent Infringement Offense: A Perspective on the Expansion of Patent Rights

The advancement of science and technology has spurned an expansion in patent entitlements, particularly evident in the extension of the object, content, and term of these rights. Currently, the world's criminal legislation is in the trend of criminalization, the expansion of patent rights further promotes the criminalization of patent protection and is embodied in the change process of the patent legal system. To comply with the trend of criminalization of patent protection, it is necessary to establish the offense of patent infringement. This is not only an effective way for criminal law to play its role as the ultimate safeguard, but also an important system for encouraging market competition and promoting economic development.

The incidence of incisional hernia (IH) has been reported to range from 5-15%, while PSHs occur between 15-65%. The use of prophylactic mesh sheets during RC has been shown to reduce the incidence of PSH in a recent randomized trial. We present our technique for the prophylactic use of soft polypropylene mesh strips as sutures at the time of RC as a potential alternative to mesh sheets and review our early experience. METHODS: A retrospective review of a single surgeon's experience with RC from January 2017 to July 2022 was performed. The inclusion criteria were the use of prophylactic parastomal and/or ventral mesh strips. Patients that required intra-operative assistance from plastic surgery for complex abdominal closure were excluded. Radiographic hernias were identified by radiology reports. Hernias that were noticeable on physical exam, symptomatic, or required operative repair were classified as clinical hernias. RESULTS: A total of 72 patients with prophylactic mesh strip placement during radical cystectomy were included. The average age was 73.5 years (Range 41-88 years), with an average follow of 10.8 months (range 1.1 – 63 months) and an average BMI of 27.9 (range 16.0 – 39.13). Sixty-one patients underwent RC with ileal conduit (IC), while 11 underwent RC with neobladder (NB) creation. 93% of the cases were performed robotically with extracorporeal diversion, and the remainder were open. In the RC with IC cohort, 54 patients had ventral and stomal mesh strips placed while 4 had ventral only and 3 had stomal only strips. Radiographic IH was reported in 6/69 (8.7%) patients with ventral mesh strips. Clinical IH was reported in 2/69 (2.9%) patients. For the RC/IC cohort, radiographic PSH was identified in 11/57 (19.3%) patients, and clinical PSH occurred in 6/57 (10.5%) patients. 2/57 (3.5%) patients underwent parastomal hernia repair, 2/57 (3.5%) developed stomal stenosis, and one patient underwent incisional hernia repair. No mesh-related complications were identified. CONCLUSIONS: The prophylactic use of mesh strips as sutures during RC may provide a safe and effective method to reduce postoperative hernia.

A Review of Research on the Potential Value and Realistic Dilemma for Homework in Physical Education

Homework in physical education (PE) has become a central strategy of educational reform movements (Novak & Lynott, 2015). A Chinese policy called “the Double Reduction” provides an opportunity for the implementation of PE homework. There are abundant studies about homework in subjects like English, Math, Science, etc., but relatively few studies have been devoted specifically to PE homework. The primary purpose of this study was to analyze the value and dilemma of PE homework, with the goal of identifying the major contributions to the research knowledge base. We followed three parts to conduct the review: a) literature was searched using the following keywords: “PE homework”, OR “active homework”, AND “the value and dilemma”, AND/OR “homework in physical education” or “activity-based homework”; b) A document analysis was conducted regarding the Chinese policy related to homework in PE, including homework’s guidelines, composition system, and cultivation path, etc.; c) A total of 34 highly relevant articles were selected. The main value and dilemma of PE homework were summarized as follows: a) The PE homework appears to be an effective way of promoting policy implementation and renewal, providing a well-rounded approach to help students achieve educational goal, improving youth physical & mental health, and increasing communications with family members. b) The current PE homework has failed to realize the foregoing values due to some difficulties, including the lack of family exercise atmosphere, the absence of community organizations, and the huge amount of negative news in social media. c) Only three studies provided coping strategies to deal with the dilemma from a Social System Theory perspective, such as strengthening institutional construction, building a multivariate framework, shaping the paradigm, integrating online platform, and developing an assessment system. Most studies focused on the micro level about “the value and dilemma of homework implementation” without consideration of the other key factors from macro level. Based on the literature reviewed, a comprehensive theoretical model for PE homework is proposed to provide guidance for future research endeavors and facilitate implementation of the guidelines.

Technical note: A new approach to discriminate different black carbon sources by utilising fullerene and metals in positive matrix factorisation analysis of high-resolution soot particle aerosol mass spectrometer data

Abstract. Atmospheric aerosol particles are known to have detrimental effects on human health and climate. Black carbon is an important constituent of atmospheric aerosol particulate matter (PM), emitted from incomplete combustion. Source apportionment of BC is very important, to evaluate the influence of different sources. The high-resolution soot particle aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-SP-AMS) instrument uses a laser vaporiser, which allows the real-time detection and characterisation of refractory black carbon (rBC) and its internally mixed particles such as metals, coating species, and rBC subcomponents in the form of HOA + fullerene. In this case study, the soot data were collected by using HR-SP-AMS during Guy Fawkes Night on 5 November 2014. Positive matrix factorisation was applied to positively discriminate between different wood-burning and bonfire sources for the first time, which no existing black carbon source apportionment technique is currently able to do. Along with this, the use of the fullerene signals in differentiating between soot sources and the use of metals as a tracer for fireworks has also been investigated, which did not significantly contribute to the rBC concentrations. The addition of fullerene signals and successful positive matrix factorisation (PMF) application to HR-SP-AMS data apportioned rBC into more than two sources. These bonfire sources are HOA + fullerene, biomass burning organic aerosol, more oxidised oxygenated organic aerosol (MO-OOA), and non-bonfire sources such as hydrocarbon-like OA and domestic burning. The result of correlation analysis between HR-SP-AMS data and previously published Aethalometer, MAAP, and CIMS data provides an effective way of gaining insights into the relationships between the variables and provide a quantitative estimate of the source contributions to the BC budget during this period. This research study is an important demonstration of using HR-SP-AMS for the purpose of BC source apportionment.

Absolute testing method of shift-rotation based on the influence function

The absolute testing of an optical surface with the shift-rotation method is an effective way to obtain an optical surface with high accuracy. The traditional shift-rotation method based on Zernike polynomials has a large number of computations and poor fitting accuracy for high frequency. Additionally, the number of calculations of the pixel-level spatial frequency method in solving the test and reference error based on each pixel is too large, which leads to poor practicability in reality. An optimized absolute testing method of shift-rotation based on the influence function is presented in this paper. By introducing the concept of the influence function in adaptive optics instead of a Zernike polynomial, the calculation accuracy of the mid-and high-frequency surface is improved, and higher precision of the absolute surface can be obtained. Relevant theoretical simulation and experimental verification are carried out. The experimental results compared with the Zernike and pixel-level methods show that the reference and test surface can be well reconstructed by using the proposed shift-rotation method based on the influence function.

Design of a Solar Modified Greenhouse Prototype

In India there are variety of crops and fruits produced every year. The process of drying in India is generally performed in direct solar radiation also known as solar drying, but this method is not effective. The higher content of moisture in the crops and fruits damage on large scale. Thus, moisture content should be controlled by an effective way to avoid further loss of crops and fruits. The innovative technique i.e. Solar Greenhouse can be an effective way to avoid loss of crops and fruits, thereby improving the lifecycle. In this study the design parameter of solar modified greenhouse prototype is discussed. The various parameters in the design of greenhouse are glazing materials, energy conservation, ventilation methods and solar orientation. With the help of solar modified greenhouse prototype, it is possible to carry out experimental validation for drying of crops and fruits assisted with Phase Change Material as a Thermal Energy Storage.

Перспективи уроку вивчення морфології української мови на профільному рівні в компетентнісній парадигмі

This article analyses the perspectives of learning the ukrainian morphology on the profile levelin the competense paradigm of the new ukrainian school. Present day life requires a high quality language education for modern youthaccording to the movement to european system of society knowledge. It is particularly highlighted innew Ukrainian schoolConcept, which points out the necessity of information-communication language space, and that is based on forming competense paradigm as the way of forming creative and discovering activity of senior students during the lessons of Ukrainian morphology. Analisys of scientific works of modern linguists (О. Biliayev, N. Golub, О. Goroshkina, S. Karaman, О. Кaraman, І. Кucherenko, S. Оmel'chuk, M. Pentyliuk, І. Khom'iak and others)proves, that the problem of innovative lesson has always been important for scientists, but the developing of demands to the lessons on morphology on the profile level stays up to date, that predetermines actuality of our investigation. Reforming of educational process in the new ukrainian school takes into account the experience of leading european countries, the USA and Finland. It also corresponds to the lessons of Ukrainian language on the profile level, including morphology. We believe, that the lesson on morphology that is dynamic, variative and flexible makes pupils ready to the further productive communicating, because O. Goroshkina names it “a tool of bringing up and developing of a speaking personality”. According to that there are more unconventional lessons: lessons-seminars, practical work, lessons-investigations, lessons-discussions, lessons-conferences, lessons-competitions, binary lessons etc. Modern educational process presumes usage of different approaches during the lessons on Ukrainian morphology. Alongside with personality-oriented approach competence approach is also used quite a lot. It helps to unite theoretical knowledge with the practical realisation. This is held on the basis of modern methods, educational technologies and evaluation of results. That is why the key methods will form form students' desire to study the ukrainian language, in particular morphology, urging them to selfeducate, to look for their own ways of dealing with life situations,to feel the importance of their work. Alongside with that we are sure, that using innovative technologies during the lessons of Ukrainian is a perfect way to study morphology on the profile level in the new Ukrainian school. A teacher is a tutor, who stimulates the student to work with the information from the Internet in a creative way, take photos of some inscriptions that have morphological mistakes to discuss them during the lesson. Students can form groups or pairs, create blocks or sites, where they will place their presentations, projects, charts, resumes, video materials etc. They will interchange ideas with classmates, organise discussions. So we believe that such learning of morphology is aneffective way of making it popular, as this work urges students tocomprehend linguistic material, appropriate usage of this material in different situations. And that is animportant part of forming key competenses. Keywords: competense approach, the concept of new ukrainian school, unconventional lesson, competense tasks, innovation technologies.

Evaluation of genotypes for fertility restoring and maintaining behaviour for development of potential rice (Oryza sativa L.) hybrids in tarai region

Hybrid rice technology is aneffective way for increasing rice production to meet the future rice demands of growing population. Inadequate numbers of restorer and maintainer lines are the major constrains for the development of location-specific rice hybrids. Present investigation involves the identification of restorers and maintainers for tarai regions of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Under this study, three cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines and 43 elite rice genotypes from diverse source of origin were crossed in line × tester fashion and test crosses were evaluated in order to identify potential restorers and maintainers. Genotypes were categorized as restorers (> 80% spikelet fertility), partial restorers (20 to 79% spikelet fertility), partial maintainers (10–20% spikelet fertility) and maintainers (< 10% spikelet fertility). The F1’s expressed different fertility reactions with different CMS lines of the same cytoplasmic source. Out of 45 male lines UPR 3764-5-13 and UPR 3744-7-1-1 behaved as maintainer with two CMS lines and IR 09N522 and CT 19533-3-4-2-2P-2P found restorer with all the CMS lines. The identified maintainers and restorers can play a pivotal role in hybrid rice development.

Visible and Infrared Video Fusion Using Uniform Discrete Curvelet Transform and Spatial‐Temporal Information

Multiple visual sensor fusion provides aneffective way to improve the robustness and accuracy ofvideo surveillance system. Traditional video fusion methods fuse the source videos using static image fusion methods frame-by-frame without considering the informationin temporal dimension. The temporal information can’t befully utilized in fusion procedure. Aiming at this problem, avisible and infrared video fusion method based on Uniformdiscrete curvelet transform (UDCT) and spatial-temporalinformation is proposed. The source videos are decomposedby using UDCT, and a set of local spatial-temporal energybased fusion rules are designed for decomposition coefficients. In these rules, we consider the current frame’s coefficients and the coefficients on temporal dimension whichare the coefficients of adjacent frames. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method works welland outperforms comparison methods in terms of temporalstability and consistency as well as spatial-temporal information extraction.

Analysis of alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors from Desmodium styracifolium using centrifugal ultrafiltration coupled with HPLC-MS

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) inhibitors play an important role in the treatment of human methanol or ethylene glycol poisoning and the suppression of acetaldehyde accumulation in alcoholics. In this study, centrifugal ultrafiltration coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) was utilized to screen and identify ADH inhibitors from ethyl acetate extract of Desmosium styracifolium (Osb.) Merr. The experiment conditions of centrifugal ultrafiltration were optimized. At the optimum conditions (ADH concentration: 37.5 ?g mL-1, incubation time: 90 min, pH: 7.0 and temperature: 15?C), formononetin and aromadendrin were successfully screened and identified from ethyl acetate extract of Desmodium styracifolium. The screening result was verified by ADH inhibition assays. The IC50 values of formononetin and aromadendrin were 70.8 and 84.7 ?g mL-1, which were accorded with the binding degrees of them. Aromadendrin was first reported to have inhibitory activity on ADH. This method provided an effective way to screen active compounds from natural products.

Estudio de laboratorio sobre utilización de zeolita natural &lt;i&gt;versus&lt;/i&gt; zeolita sintética en la fabricación de mezclas semicalientes

Zeolite can be used as an ingredient in warm bituminous mixes to reduce manufacturing temperatures. The zeolite for this purpose is usually synthetic, but natural zeolite can also be used. The research presented in this paper analyzed the use of natural zeolite from Cuba in the form of sand and filler as an additive in warm asphalt mixes and compared it to asphalt mixes with synthetic zeolite. The mixes were given the Marshall tests, and their moisture sensitivity and stiffness modulus values were also obtained. The results showed that both types of mix had a similar performance, which was only slightly lower than that of the reference mix. The use of different dosages of natural zeolite in the mixes gave the best results when the zeolite was incorporated as filler. This study demonstrated that the use of natural zeolite is an effective way of reducing the temperature of bituminous mixes.

Global stability of stationary waves for damped wave equations

Nonlinear stability of stationary waves to damped wave equations hasbeen studied by many authors in recent years, the main difficultylies in how to control the possible growth of its solutions causedby the nonlinearity of the equation under consideration. Aneffective way to overcome such a difficulty is to use the smallnessof the initial perturbation and/or the smallness of the strength ofthe stationary waves and based on this argument, local stability ofstrong increasing stationary waves for convex flux functions andweak decreasing stationary waves for general flux functions arewell-established, cf. [11,13,15]. As to the nonlinear stability resultwith large initial perturbation, the only results available now are[3,4] which use the smallness ofthe stationary waves to overcome the above mentioned difficulty andconsequently, although the initial perturbation can be large, itdoes require that it satisfies certain growth condition as thestrength of the stationary waves tends to zero. Thus a naturalquestion of interest is, for any initial perturbation lying incertain Sobolev space $H^s\left({\bf R}_+\times{\bfR}^{n-1}\right)$, how to obtain the global stability of stationarywaves to the damped wave equations? The main purpose of thismanuscript is devoted to this problem.

Recycling of multi-grain, melt processed bulk (RE)BCO superconductors

Recycling is fundamental to the sustainable and economic use of natural resources. BulkRE–Ba–Cu–O ((RE)BCO, where RE is a rare earth element or Y) can be used for varietyof sustainable engineering and power sector applications. However, current costs ofproduction and relatively high process failure rates of up to 30% severely limit themanufacture of these materials for industrial use. It is necessary, therefore, to develop aneffective way of recycling failed (RE)BCO bulk samples to reduce both production costsand the consumption of the constituent rare earth elements. Failed, melt processed sampleshave a different chemical composition to that used initially in the precursor powder and, asa result, are generally scrapped, rather than re-processed. We report a novel method forre-processing failed (RE)BCO samples to restore their chemical composition. Failed bulksamples recycled using this process exhibit superconducting properties that are comparableto those of single-grain samples fabricated by conventional top seeded melt growth.

Bulk Ultrafine and Nanostructured Materials from Consolidation of Particles by Severe Plastic Deformation

The progress in bulk ultrafine and nanostructured materials through consolidation of particles by severe plastic deformation (SPD) is reviewed. The focus is on the processes of high pressure torsion (HPT) and equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) with or without the application of a back pressure. Various materials consolidated are described in terms of their densities, microstructures and mechanical properties. The important processing parameters and their effects on the resulting materials are discussed. It is shown that SPD consolidation of particles is an effective way of producing bulk nanostructured materials although much work is needed to understand the consolidation behaviour and to design the optimum compositions and microstructures.

Study on Erosion Wear Mechanism of SiC/(W,Ti)C Gradient Ceramic Nozzle Material

Idea of functionally gradient material (FGM) theory was used to the design of ceramic nozzle. The purpose was to increase the erosion wear resistance at the entrance of the nozzle in dry sand blasting processes. The SiC/(W,Ti)C gradient ceramic nozzles fabricated by conventional hot pressing. The erosion behavior of the SiC/(W,Ti)C gradient ceramic nozzles were investigated in comparison with the common homologous ceramic nozzles. The experimental results have shown that the ceramic nozzles with a gradient structure have superior erosion wear resistance to that of the common homologous ceramic nozzles under the same test conditions. It was shown that the mechanical properties of the gradient ceramic nozzle materials were greatly improved in comparison with that of the common homologous nozzles. The surface Vickers hardness and indentation fracture toughness of gradient ceramic nozzle were greatly improved compared with that of the common homologous nozzles. Therefore, it is indicated that gradient structures in ceramic nozzles is an effective way to improve the erosion wear resistance of the common homologous nozzles.
