Abstract This article focuses on how the concept of “turning points” can be used in narrative research when studying people’s (professional) identities and identity formation. By examining various understandings turning points, we aim to show they identified as analytical tools different ways conducting analyses A case study from a project police is illustrate application perspectives points. T...

With the development of oil drilling in depth, strata are more ancient and abrasive. The Rate Penetration (ROP) is low conventional methods, Positive Displacement Motor (PDM) matching PDC bits often used to improve it. However, application excessive Weight on Bit (WOB) would easily lead PDM brake, over-standard well inclination, bit wearing aggravation other bad phenomena. Moreover, ROP improvi...

Metabolomics, which is based mainly on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gas-chromatography (GC) or liquid-chromatography (LC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) analytical technologies to systematically acquire the qualitative and quantitative information of low-molecular-mass endogenous metabolites, provides a direct snapshot of the physiological condition in biological samples. As complements...

T he Institute of Medicine’s Clinical Research Roundtable highlighted two translational blocks that prevent discoveries of promising drugs, diagnostic technologies, or therapeutic procedures that are generated by basic research from getting translated into clinical applications.1 Success is not the norm, even for research with the most promising results.2 For basic research that ultimately lead...

I ntravascular ultrasound is a new technique that allows intraluminal catheter-based vascular imaging. Technological advances in miniaturization have produced 4F to 8F catheters that can be safely maneuvered within coronary and peripheral arteries.1,2 Images obtained provide accurate measurements of lumen area as well as high-resolution images of arterial wall components.3,4 Histopathological s...

Often, valuable document processing intellectual capital is lost due to staff transitions or project restructuring prior to technology transfer. Furthermore, hardware and software integrity, dependencies, and compatibility are critical components that often impede technology migration. While many open source tools attempt to mitigate these issues, they do not always address specific design need...

T he current widespread interest in protecting software from piracy, tampering, and reverse engineering has been brought to bear for several reasons. First, revenue derived from proprietary software sales is vital to many software vendors' survival. Second, more vendors distribute software in forms that attackers can easily manipulate, such as Java bytecode or Mi-crosoft's intermediate language...
