  • As polarization intensified in the United States, the voting support of the presidential party lawmakers has become the most important source of power for the president. The presidential party has been believed to legalize the president's agenda in a unified government and prevent legislation opposed by the president from being passed by the Congress within a divided government. However, even under party polarization, all the lawmakers and factions of the presidential party have not voted in accordance with the president's policy preferences. Statistical analysis shows that lawmakers who corresponded to the ideology median of the presidential party most strongly supported the president's agendas during the unified government. However, lawmakers with extreme ideologies voted more actively for the president than those with median ones during the divided government. Furthermore, this trend has been amplified regarding ideological factions.

  • In this study, the compression test of steel fiber reinforced high-strength concrete have been performed with varying strengths and volume factions of steel fiber. Three types of matrices including low strength concrete( c'=30 MPa), medium strength concrete( c'=50 MPa), and high strength concrete( c'=70 MPa) were selected. Five types of fiber fractions were studied including 0.0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0%, and 1.5% by volume. From the results of the compressive strength test, the post-peak characteristics of the stress-strain relationship were investigated, and the existing equations to predict the elastic modulus were experimentally evaluated.

  • As the paper market becomes more and more competitive, more mills will want to switch to alkaline papermaking to take advantage of the Vowing demand. Many papermakers have tried to do this without success in the past much like the American papermakers did in the late 1970's. The Problem is that runnability Problems occur, drainage slows, Presses pick drying becomes more difficult and sheet quality suffers as a result Sheet holes and breaks occur, and runnability becomes a real operating problem. Converting to alkaline papermaking is not as simple as turning off the alum. We must be aware of the numerous factions that alum served at acid pH and provide alkaline alternatives. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss methods of deposit control via charge neutralization and system control at alkaline pH. This article explains the concept as well as the measurement and control. The resultant benefits are seen in runnability, quality and profitability for the papermaker.

  • This paper describes isolation and elucidation structure of the components from leaves and evaluate the radical scavenging activity on DPPH radical for antioxidant effect. Bioassay guided fractionation of MeOH extract afforded active EtOAc and BuOH factions. The most active EtOAc fraction was repeatedly chrormatographed over silica and Sephadex LH-20 to afford six flavonoid compounds. Studies on the antioxidant activity of these constituents showed that quercetin was the most active of these compounds. Luteolin and kaempherol are also active, These results suggested that the antioxidant activity of leaves of Angelica gigas may be due to flavonoid components. All the compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods and are the first report from leaves of Angelica gigas.

  • This paper aims to analyze the recent consolidation of Xi Jinping's power in the context of political reform of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and reason out its implications. After Reform and Opening Up, the CCP needed to adapt to the changing society, secure its legitimacy and reinforce its ruling power. Therefore, the CCP has practiced political reform focused on intra-democracy since 16th Party Congress in 2002. Intra-democracy in the CCP's collective leadership consists of two parts: a stable power succession, based on term limits and age limits, and a democratic management system, based on checks and compromises between political factions. Those mechanisms of intra-democracy are still functioning in the Xi Jinping era, which explains that the consolidation of Xi's power is the result of the agreement in the CCP. In other words, it is a short-term change to efficiently deal with challenges the CCP is facing.

  • Cultural conditions during production of compost, using wheat straw and chicken litter as raw materials, will affect the microbial and biochemical characteristics, leading to a wide variation in mushroom productivity. Over the past 10 years, chemical and instrumental methods, suitable for assessing compost quality have been studied in Northern Ireland. In addition, the use of near subject of investigation over the past 4 years. Previous studies have shown that NIRS can be used fer assessing quality of dried and milled composts. The aim of the current investigation is to develop NIR calibrations for key quality parameters such as dry matter, pH, nitrogen, carbon, ash, microbial population and fibre factions during the two stages of production using spectra of fresh composts. Near infrared reflectance measurements of fresh composts prepared by 6 producers were made during a two-year period. Although the spectra of fresh composts were dominated by two moisture peaks at 1450 nm and 1940 nm, good calibrations for determining moisture content, conductivity, pH, nitrogen, carbon and fibre fractions were developed. The results of quality assessment during commercial production using the calibrations will be presented and discussed.

  • The elevation of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ in various tissue through oxidative stress induced by menadione has been well documented. Increase of $Ca^{2+}$ level inplatelets results in aggreaction of patelets. To test the hypothesis that menadione-induced $Ca^{2+}$ elevations can play a role in platelet aggregation, we have studied the effect of menadione on aggragation of platelets isolated from female rats. Treatment with menadione to platelet rich plasma (PRP), which proved to be 60% as determined by aggregometry. however, exposure of PRP to menadione leads to a loss of cell viability, as measured by lactae dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, suggesting that menadione might induce cell lysis rather than aggregation of platelets. Turbidty changes induced by menadione were unaffected by addition ofl dicoumarol, which is a quinone reducellular factions of patelets. These data, which indicate an absence of the QR detoxifying pathway, suggest that platelets may be more susceptible to menadione-induced cytotoxicity than certain other cell, as hepatocytes.

  • Representing all the parts of human body visible to fit into the script, it can be told that real make-up has been done. Based on the point of view. it will be different from others. To become the beautiful, beauty make-up has to be done, however, to be someone described in the script or any other factions after analyzing characters of being represented, special make-up fits into that category. In the special make-up, there are two different pins: one is 2 dimension make-up which is describing images using dots, lines and colors and other is 3 dimension which will include necessary shapes to figure. Even though there seems to be different between modern technologies and handy work, since accurate measures and graphics have to be used to make perfect character describes in the script, more investments and studies than before have to be made. Real attraction of 3 dimension make-up is building up the images and shapes using unseen abstract images having analyzing characters. It will be decided in the working process called modeling. As having distinguished this part from other make-ups as named prosthetics make-up, proposing means and measures of prosthetics make-up will actually help the others who are studying make-up.

  • The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of children's understanding of fractions in mathematics problem solving. Kieren has claimed that the concept of fractions is not a single construct, but consists of several interrelated subconstructs(i.e., part-whole, ratio, operator, quotient and measure). Later on, in the early 1980s, Behr et al. built on Kieren's conceptualization and suggested a theoretical model linking the five subconstructs of fractions to the operations of fractions, fraction equivalence and problem solving. In the present study we utilized this theoretical model as a reference to investigate children's understanding of fractions. The case study has been conducted with 6 children consisted of 4th to 5th graders to detect how they understand factions, and how their understanding influence problem solving of subconstructs, operations of fractions and equivalence. Children's understanding of fractions was categorized into "part-whole", "ratio", "operator", "quotient", "measure" and "result of operations". Most children solved the problems based on their conceptual structure of fractions. However, we could not find the particular relationships between children's understanding of fractions and fraction operations or fraction equivalence, while children's understanding of fractions significantly influences their solutions to the problems of five subconstructs of fractions. We suggested that the focus of teaching should be on the concept of fractions and the meaning of each operations of fractions rather than computational algorithm of fractions.
