As states and national majorities often demand “good immigrants”, they designate a narrow space of inclusion that is conditional on fulfilling certain pre-determined criteria behaviour identity. Recognition membership in society increasingly something immigrants their children must deserve through efforts, achievements, actions. This special issue introduction develops theory good citizenship w...

A genotoxic carcinogen, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), was detected as a synthesis impurity in some valsartan drugs 2018, and other N-nitrosamines, such N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), were later sartan products. N-nitrosamines are pro-mutagens that can react with DNA following metabolism to produce adducts, O6-alkyl-guanine. The adducts result replication miscoding errors leading GC>AT mutations...

Many safety-critical real-time systems are considered certified when they meet failure probability requirements with respect to the maximum permitted incidences of per hour. In this article, mixed-criticality task model multiple worst case execution time (WCET) estimations is extended incorporate such system-level certification restrictions. A new parameter added each task, characterizing distr...

arterial corridor greatly impacted by strip commercial development. The data-gathering efforts consisted of extensive traffic counts and travel-time and delay studies. This enabled us to see firsthand the great congestion that was occurring on the street. At the four most-congested intersections, unequal queuing between the two through traffic lanes was observed. In all cases, the right lane’s ...

Context. Emission lines in quasars are believed to originate from a photoionized plasma. There are, however, some emission features which appear to be collisionally excited, such as the Fe ii multiplet bands. Shortward of Lyα, there also are a few permitted lines of species from low to intermediate ionization. Aims. Ton 34 (zq = 1.928) exhibits the steepest far-UV continuum decline known (Fν ∝ ...
