The purpose of this project was to develop a plan for a shelter named Phoenix Dream Home, a resource center; find a funding source; and write a grant application to fund this program for female victims of human trafficking. Once a victim of human trafficking has been identified, she has many needs, including the need for safe shelter, trauma-focused therapy, and case management services. The overall goal of the program is to provide a safe place for human trafficking victims to start the healing process so that they can increase their self-sufficiency and resiliency. The potential funding source for this project is the Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO) foundation, because the goal of this project fits within the mission and goals of the foundation. The actual grant submission of the grant was not a requirement for successful completion of this project.

America has long recognized that protection and preservation of its cultural landmarks are in the public interest and crucial to maintaining its legacy of cultural resources for future generations. Despite these efforts,many historical sites continue to be lost. Bodie State Historic Park,one of 278 historically significant sites within the California State Park system,represents one such at-risk landmark. This thesis is intended to augment current efforts to preserve and promote this unique cultural landscape by developing a GIS-based inventory of the nearly 170 buildings that comprise the remnants of Bodie,and creating a GIS-based thematic gazetteer that links historical attributes with the built environment. The chapters that follow describe ways in which GIS has been specifically adapted for use in historical research,and demonstrate that traditional methods of historical landscape reconstruction and visualization in GIS can be enhanced through the use of site-specific,high-resolution aerial imagery and photogrammetry.

Insertion/deletion (INDELs) marker sets can serve as a useful supplementary tool for human identification. A commercial kit, the Qiagen DIPplex ® Investigator kit, multiplexes 30 biallelic autosomal INDELs and Amelogenin for forensic use. We performed a validation study based on the DIPplex ® kit in four Chinese populations: Han, Tibetan, Uyghur, and Kazakh. There were no significant departures from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium or significant linkage disequilibrium (pair-wised r 2 < 0.2) between the 30 INDELs. The random match probabilities were in the range of 3.84 × 10 −11 to 1.20 × 10 −12 , and the power of exclusion was >0.99. The multiplex PCR was optimized for a 5-μL volume, full profiles were obtained with 0.062 ng/μL of template DNA, and excellent performance was obtained with degraded casework samples. This study demonstrates that the multiplex INDEL assay can be used as a supplementary method for degraded DNA detection in the studied Chinese populations.

In this paper, a new method is introduced to calculate the ranking of a Web-page in a Search Engine. We have considered inbound and outbound Web-page links, Session time spent in the Web-page, Relevancy of the Web-page with the searching string and Web Traffic for the Web-page as decisive factors. These factors are measured dynamically and generate a numeric value, termed as Decisive factor (D f ). These Decisive factors are calculated by newly introduced mathematical equations. finally, all Decisive factors are integrated to find the final ranking of the particular Web-pages. Since the access to a Web-page is often unpredictable, this type of Web-page ranking of dynamic nature is highly desirable to obtain more efficient and accurate Web-page ranking.

Background: The effects of warfarin are measured with the international normalized ratio (INR). However, the thrombin generation assay (TGA) may offer more information about global coagulation. We analyzed the monitoring performance of the TGA and INR and investigated the impact of procoagulants (fibrinogen, factor (f)II, fVII, fIX, and fX) and anticoagulants (proteins C, S, and Z) on them. Methods: The TGA was performed on a calibrated automated thrombogram, producing lag time, endogenous thrombin potential (ETP), and peak thrombin in 239 patients treated with warfarin. Pro-and anticoagulant levels were also measured. Results: The INR was significantly and inversely correlated with ETP. The therapeutic range of ETP comparable to an INR range of 2.0-3.0 was 290.1-494.6. ETP showed comparable performance to the INR as a warfarin-monitoring parameter with respect to clinical complication rate. The median levels offII, fVII, fIX, and fX and proteins C and Z tended to decrease gradually with increasing anticoagulation intensity according to the INR or ETP. Of note, protein Z levels decreased dramatically with increasing anticoagulation status. INRs were significantly determined by fII, fVII, and protein Z. ETP was significantly dependent on fVII, and proteins C and Z concentration. Protein Z significantly reduced the total amount of thrombin generation and prolonged PT value in vitro. Conclusions: The INR and ETP exhibit similar efficacy for warfarin monitoring according to the clinical complication rate. Protein Z is considered to be a significant determinant of INR and ETP in patients on warfarin therapy. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The aim of this research paper is to consider some very interesting reducible cases of H A and H C introduced by Srivastava who actually noticed the existence of three additional complete triple hypergeometric functions H A , H B and H C of the second order in the course of an extensive investigation of Lauricella’s fourteen hypergeometric functions of three variables. The results are derived with the help of known classical summation theorems recently added in the literature due to Lavoie et al. Several results obtained earlier by Kim et al. follow special cases of our main findings.
