The LCD monitor market enjoyed rapid growth in 1999 but only experienced modest growth in 2000. It is now poised for rapid growth from 2001 to 2005 as prices and costs decline. Price reductions will enable LCD monitors to move beyond limited vertical markets and extend into the broader consumer markets. This article will examine the future outlook for LCD monitors and provide a growth forecast.

E. creticum has been used in folk medicine in Jordan as a remedy for scorpion stings in the rural areas and as a hypoglycemic agent. The hypoglycemic activity of an aquous decoction of plant arial parts of E. creticum was tested in normoglycemic and streptozocin-hyperglycemic rats. Results indicate that those extract caused significant reductions in blood glucose concentration when given orally.

From the catalytic reductions of the respective 2-amino-, and 2-nitro-3,4-dihydro-5,6-dimethoxy-1(2H)-naphthalenone, a major reduction product of 2-amino-5,6-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene was obtained, along with a minute amount of rearranged product, 5,6-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2(1H)-naphthalenone. The unusual formation of 5,6-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2(1H)-naphthalenone was verified on the basis of ir, and nmr spectra, and elemental analysis. A plausible mechanism for the rearrangement is proposed.

This paper deals with an estimation procedure of variance components in a mixed effects model by projections. Projections are used to obtain sums of squares instead of using reductions in sums of squares due to fitting both the assumed model and sub-models in the fitting constants method. A projection matrix can be obtained for the residual model at each step by a stepwise procedure to test the hypotheses. A weighted least squares method is used for the estimation of fixed effects. Satterthwaite's approximation is done for the confidence intervals for variance components.

Square wave voltammetric (SWV) and cyclic voltammetric (CV) behaviors of cefotaxime sodium and ceftriaxone sodium have been investigated in the potential range between -0.10 V and -1.30 V using the phosphate buffers of various pH values ($2.00{\sim}9.10$). Two main peaks observed were irreversible and protons were involved in their electrochemical reductions. The first peaks of these cephalosporin antibiotics are due to the reduction of the azomethine double bond in the methoxyimino group of the side chain at position 7. The second peaks of cefotaxime sodium and ceftriaxone sodium are related to the reductions of the ${\Delta}^3$ double bond and the dioxo moiety of the side chain at position 3, respectively. The calibration curve of cefotaxime sodium in the concentration range between $1.0{\times}10^{-7}M$ and $1.0{\times}10^{-5}M$ yielded the linearity with the correlation coefficient of 0.9998 when the first peak of the antibiotic in a phosphate buffer of pH 3.02 was measured at the conditions of frequency of 120 Hz and pulse height of 50 mV by SWV. The present fast, simple and accurate SWV assay method was applied to determine cefotaxime sodium in the commercial antibiotic powder of injection.

The SiOCH films that low dielectric interlayer dielectric materials were deposited on p-type Si(100) substrates through the dissociation of BTMSM precursors with oxygen gas by using PECVD method. BTMSM precursor was introduced with the flow rates from 42 sccm to 60 sccm by 2 sccm step in the constant flow rate of 60 sccm $O_2$. SiOCH thin films were annealed at $450^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The electrical property of SiOCH thin films was studied by MIS, Al/SiOCH/p-Si(100), structure. Annealed samples showed even greater reductions of the maximum capacitance and the dielectric constant of the SiOCH samples, owing to reductions of surface charge density. we confirmed this result with derivative of C-V characteristic, leakage current density. The maximum capacitance and leakage current density were respectively decreased about 4 pF, 60% after annealing. The average of low-k value is approximatly 2.07 after annealing.

Climate change imposes a huge treat on the sustainability of our environment. One of the major reasons for the increasing impacts of climate change is the emission of greenhouse gases. Therefore, cooperative greenhouse gas emission reduction schemes with a general consensus are needed in order to reduce the impacts of climate change. Due to the strong link between greenhouse gas emission and economic development there is disagreement among countries on the designing and implementation of emission reduction plans. In this paper the authors proposed a two-stage concession game to analyze emission reduction plans and determine a balanced emission range that improves the utilities of the bargaining parties. Furthermore the game was applied to a hypothetical example. Our results from the case study indicated that even though the utilities of the bargaining parties is highly affected by emission reductions, after making concessions their utilities can be improved given their emission reductions are within in a certain desirable range. The authors hope that this article provides insights which could be useful for understanding emission reduction plans and their consequences on the negotiating parties.

A number of passive aerodynamic drag reduction methods were applied separately and then in different combinations on an intercity bus model, through wind tunnel studies on a 1:20 scale model of a Mercedes Benz Tourismo 15 RHD intercity bus. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling was also conducted in parallel to assist with flow visualisation. The commercial CFD package $CFX^{TM}$ was used. It has been found that dramatic reductions in coefficient of drag ($C_D$) of up to 70% can be achieved on the model using tapered and rounded top and side leading edges, and a truncated rear boat-tail. The curved front section allows the airflow to adhere to the bus surfaces for the full length of the vehicle, while the boat-tails reduce the size of the low pressure region at the base of the bus and more importantly, additional pressure recovery occurs and the base pressures rise, reducing drag. It is found that the CFD results show remarkable agreement with experimental results, both in the magnitude of the force coefficients as well as in their trends. An analysis shows that such a reduction in aerodynamic drag could lead to a significant 28% reduction in fuel consumption for a typical bus on intercity or interstate operation. This could translate to a massive dollar savings as well as significant emissions reductions across a fleet. On road tests are recommended.

An experimental investigation has been conducted to determine the effectiveness of base shield plates in reducing the drag of a rough circular cylinder in a cross flow at Reynolds numbers in the range $3{\times}10^4{\leq}Re{\leq}10.5{\times}10^4$. Three model configurations were investigated and compared: a plane cylinder (PC), a cylinder with a splitter plate (MC1) and a cylinder fitted with base shield plates (MC2). Each configuration was studied in the sub and supercritical flow regimes. The chord of the plates, L, ranged from 0.22 to 1.50D and the cavity width, G, between the plates was in the range from 0 to 0.93D. It is recognized that base shield plates can be employed more effectively than splitter plates to reduce the aerodynamic drag of circular cylinders in both the sub- and supercritical flow regimes. For subcritical flow regime, one can get 53% and 24% drag reductions for the MC2 and MC1 models with L/D=1.0, respectively, compared with the PC model. For supercritical flow regime however, the corresponding drag reductions are 38% and 7%.
