This paper investigates the parametric instability (PI) of multilayered composite conical shells (MLCCSs) under axial load periodically varying the time, using the first order shear deformation theory (FOSDT). The basic equations for the MLCCSs are derived and then the Galerkin method is used to obtain the ordinary differential equation of the motion. The equation of motion converted to the Mathieu-Hill type differential equation, in which the DI is examined employing the Bolotin's method. The expressions for left and right limits of dimensionless parametric instability regions (PIRs) of MLCCSs based on the FOSDT are obtained. Finally, the influence of various parameters; lay-up, shear deformations (SDs), aspect ratio, as well as loading factors on the borders of the PIRs are examined.

In the workflow of 360 video coding of JVET (Joint Video Experts Team), firstly the 360 videos are projected onto the 2D plane with diverse projection formats, such as Equi-Rectangular Projection (ERP), Cubemap Projection (CMP), Rotated Sphere Projection (RSP), etc. The projection format of RSP has inactive regions in the converted 2D plane. The inactive regions may cause visual artifact as well as the reduction of the coding efficiency due to discontinuity at boundaries between active and inactive regions. In this paper, to overcome these problems, the inactive regions are padded by using two types of adjacent pixels. Then padded regions of RSP are blended with inactive regions padded by proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that, in terms of end-to-end WS-PSNR-NN, the proposed method achieves 0.1% BD-rate reduction. In addition, the visual artifacts along the borders between discontinuous faces are noticeably reduced.

This paper discusses an important dimension of the globalization of science by investigating the lived experiences of nineteen expatriate scientists in six institutions in South Korea. Although much has been written on the globalization and science, few works have dealt with scientific experts? migration across national borders in contemporary contexts. In this regard, the lives of foreign science professors in Korea offer an interesting case, as they illustrate how the ideas of global science both clash with and appropriate Korea?s local practices and discourses. I argue that the globality of science is a main factor that fosters the continued Korean stay of many foreign scientists, who manage and appropriate what is entailed in this globality, namely, Korea?s perceived status as a peripheral country in the dynamics between "center" and "periphery." This includes several strategies and unintended situations differing according to each foreign scientist?s ethnic origins, professional experiences, and institutional circumstances, which lead them to make sense of their continued stay in Korea.

Flies of the genus Lispe are large, dark gray, and have well-developed palpi. Most Lispe species are found in damp sandy and muddy environments, such as borders of marshes, seashore areas, swamps, lakes, ponds, streams, and rice paddy fields. Both adults and larvae are predators of various small aquatic insects. Previously, five species of Lispe had been identified in Korea: L. assimilis Wiedemann, 1824, L. litorea Fallén, 1825, L. orientalis Wiedemann, 1824, L. patellitarsis Becker, 1914, and L. tentaculata (DeGeer, 1776). In this paper, we record a sixth Lispe species, L. consanguinea Loew, 1858, for the first time in Korea. The diagnosis and illustrations of this species are provided in addition to a key to the Korean Lispe species.

Intraosseous xanthoma of the mandible is a rare benign disorder. A 17-year-old male patient presented with a suspected abscess in the right mandibular third molar, detected on a panoramic radiograph. The patient had no history of systemic or lipid-related metabolic diseases and complained of no specific symptoms or pain. A radiographic examination revealed a heterogeneous radiolucency extending from the apical to the distal aspect of the right mandibular third molar tooth germ. The lesion measured 9 × 16 × 24 mm (antero-posterior × mediolateral × supero-inferior) and showed a relatively well-defined, multilocular, foamy appearance with hyperostotic borders spreading to the inferior alveolar nerve canal. After excisional biopsy, a diagnosis of central xanthoma was made. The lesion recurred, and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy was done near the lesion. For the treatment of xanthoma of the mandible, extensive and delicate surgical treatment under general anesthesia should be considered.

The new commercial maritime law in the Kingdom came comprehensive and detailed for all topics related to commercial maritime navigation, thus responding to most of the problems that arise in the field, specifically regarding the ship as the focus of the rules of maritime law. This system defines the ship in law, regulates its civil status, determines how to name it, determine its domicile, and the conditions for acquiring Saudi nationality. It also contained a regulation of the rights granted to ships by ownership, as well as their lease and mortgage, the mechanism of attachment to them to settle debts and the rights in kind dependent on them and controlling the rights of third parties on ships and the procedures for forcibly selling them from precautionary seizure and executive seizure and then forced sale in public auction. Until this research was an effort to present a clear picture about the legal system of the ship in the new Saudi commercial maritime system and confirming the extent of the success of the Saudi legislator with the ship system in highlighting the legal frameworks for this facility prepared for maritime navigation.

Singapore and Thailand have been rapidly ageing. There has been a growing demand for eldercarers in the home-setting for which migrant domestic workers have filled the role. This paper examines the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Consensus governing women migrant workers entering the eldercare sector. It argues that because the ASEAN Consensus is not legally binding, it only serves to reinforce the sovereignty of states in the treatment of migrant workers instead of member states acting in unison to ensure labour protections for this group; as a result, Singapore and Thailand do not feel the need to step up protections for this group of workers according to national labor laws and hence low-skilled women migrant workers entering the eldercare sector continue to be vulnerable to labour abuses. Thus as with globalization, the ASEAN Economic Community manifests the paradox of borders: that while states are economically interconnected and interdependent, they are simultaneously disconnected and independent from each other.

In the ocean bubble layers play a significant role in the sound propagation as well as sound generation. Most of early works dealt with acoustic properties of the bubble layers with sharp flat boundaries. Bubble layers with sharp flat boundaries. Bubble layers with transition sublayers are more likely in the coean. In this paper a theory of sound propagation through plane bubble layers with transition sublayers at both borders was developed. It shows that the reflection and transmission coefficients depend on the thickness of transition sublayers. The theory with thicker transition sublayers shows weaker resonance properties of bubble layer. It gives better presentation for the peculiar behavior of the experimental data than that with sharp flat boundaries.

As business needs are accelerating exponentially due to globalization and other market forces, companies regardless of its size need data which can operate flexibly and rapidly across disappearing physical and organizational borders. To meet the growing Enterprise Resource Planning [ERP] needs for small and medium sized firms, large ERP vendors have introduced new and inexpensive products to these markets. They can customize to businesses of all sizes as long as they have the need for the services and the budget to support the system. Based on the observations in this research, most ERP vendors, regardless of their size, are now focusing more on improving the implementation curve and reporting capabilities through compartmentalizing business applications along industry verticals. Also ERP systems are becoming more open thereby consultants and subject matter experts now have the opportunity to create modules based upon verticals to form a best-of-breed ERP implementation. of enterprises.

Like many other Asian American writers, Jhumpa Lahiri writes stories that capture the experiences of immigrant families in America. What sets The Namesake apart is that Lahiri cleverly uses the names of her characters to shape their individual lives and futures not just as a first or second generation immigrant, but as people who are more than what that labelling connotes. Although the struggle faced by Ashoke and Ashima to hold on and adapt as first generation immigrants is contrasted with the search for identity among second generation immigrants seen primarily through the experiences of their children Gogol and Sonia, Lahiri uses their struggles as an immigrant family to serve as a starting point for each member of the Ganguli family to find their own identities and understandings of who they are as individuals apart from their race, history or cultural heritage so that they may truly be "without borders."
