![]() ![]() Furthermore, there are 188 additives listed on the homepage of Japan Tobacco Inc. There are 600 additives besides ammonia contained in tobacco products (including cocoa, caramel color, menthol, and rum and its flavors). Currently, tobacco industries are developing alternative technologies and approaches to ammonia technology. However, this study did not use products with very low levels of ammonia in their tobacco fillers therefore, the influence of the amount of ammonia in tobacco filler on nicotine absorption is still unknown. As a result of this study, ammonia technology is regarded a legacy technology. A recent study analyzed the levels of nicotine in the blood of participants who smoked cigarettes containing different levels of ammonia in the tobacco filler, and no differences in nicotine levels were found. Thus, the role of added ammonia in increasing the delivery of free-base nicotine to the brain has been suggested as an ammonia technology. The increase in free-base nicotine increases the addictive potential of cigarettes. Unprotonated (“free-base”) nicotine is lipophilic and is absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream than its protonated form. The effects of ammonia present in tobacco filler on cigarette smoke, such as increasing its alkalinity, which in turn increases the amount of unprotonated nicotine in cigarette smoke, have been examined extensively. It increases nicotine dependence in cigarette smokers and has been included in the non-exhaustive priority list of 39 tobacco contents and emissions of cigarette by the World Health Organization (WHO) Study Group on Tobacco Product Regulation. Over 90% of the ammonia in sidestream smoke was in gaseous phase.Īmmonia is a chemical additive found in tobacco filler. There were significant differences between the ammonia levels of the 35 commercially marketed cigarette brands in Japan manufactured by four tobacco manufacturers. Our simple colorimetric could be used to analyze ammonia in tobacco fillers and sidestream smoke. The ammonia levels were higher in sidestream smoke than in tobacco filler. The ammonia levels in the sidestream smoke of CABIN, Marlboro Black Menthol, American Spirit Light, and Seven Stars were 5.89 ± 0.28, 5.23 ± 0.12, 6.92 ± 0.56, and 4.14 ± 0.19 mg/cigarette, respectively. The mean ammonia level of JT cigarette brands was significantly higher (0.83 ± 0.28 mg/g) than that of Natural American Spirit cigarette brands (0.30 ± 0.08 mg/g) and lower than those in the other two cigarette brands (1.11 ± 0.19 mg/g for BAT and 1.24 ± 0.15 mg/g for Philip Morris) ( p < 0.001 by Bonferroni test). ![]() The ammonia levels in tobacco fillers extracted from 35 cigarette brands ranged from 0.25 to 1.58 mg/g. The ammonia levels in the reference cigarette (3R4F) measured by our method and ion chromatography were similar and comparable to previously reported levels. We also analyzed the ammonia levels in the sidestream smoke from cigarettes of the brands that were found to contain high or low tobacco filler ammonia levels. To compare this method to conventional ion chromatography, we analyzed the ammonia levels in tobacco fillers extracted from 35 Japanese commercially marketed cigarette brands manufactured by four tobacco companies (Japan Tobacco (JT) Inc., British American Tobacco (BAT), Philip Morris Japan, and Natural American Spirit). We developed a simple colorimetric method based on the salicylate-chlorine reaction and absorption spectrometry with two reagents (sodium nitroprusside and sodium dichloroisocyanurate). The development of a simple ammonia detection method will contribute to the establishment of tobacco product regulation under tobacco control policies and allow surveys to be conducted, even by laboratories with small research budgets. Ammonia has been included in the non-exhaustive priority list of 39 tobacco components and emissions of cigarette published by the World Health Organization (WHO) Study Group on Tobacco Product Regulation. The ammonia contained in tobacco fillers and mainstream and sidestream cigarette smoke accelerates nicotine dependence in cigarette smokers. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you decide not to use any template, simply select “Blank Diagram.” To open Lucidchart’s template library, click the down arrow next to “+Document.” Select a diagram category on the left-in this case, choose “Flowchart”-or use the search bar to find a specific template type.ĭouble-click on a thumbnail image to use that template or single-click to read more about it.

Well, when we determine the types of structures for a large discourse, we term its segmentation. Now, the structure of the discourse depends on the type of segmentation applied to the discourse. Let us now look at the structure that discourse in NLP must have. So far, we have discussed discourse and coherence, but we have not discussed the structure of the discourse in NLP. So, the coherence between the entities is known as entity-based coherence. If there is some kind of relationship between the entities, then we can also say that the discourse in NLP is coherent. The coherent relation tells us that there is some sort of connection present between the utterances. When we say that the discourses are coherent, then it simply means that the discourse has some sort of meaningful connection. Let us now learn about the two major properties of coherence, i.e., Coherence relation between utterances and Coherence relation between entities. What are coherent discourse texts? Well, if we read a paragraph from a newspaper, we can see that the entire paragraph is interrelated hence we can say that the discourse is coherence, but if we only combine the newspaper headlines consecutively, then it is not a discourse, it is just a group of sentences that are also non-coherence. We use the property of good text, coherence, etc., to evaluate the quality of the output generated by the natural language processing generation system. There is a lot of connection between the coherence and the discourse structure (discussed in the next section). Concept of CoherenceĬoherence in terms of Discourse in NLP means making sense of the utterances or making meaningful connections and correlations. Let us now learn about the concept of coherence in the next section. Discourse Analysis is very important in Natural language Processing and helps train the NLP model better. The relationship between words makes the training of the NLP model quite easy and more predictable than the actual results.ĭiscourse Analysis is extracting the meaning out of the corpus or text. When we are dealing with Natural Language Processing, the provided language consists of structured, collective, and consistent groups of sentences, which are termed discourse in NLP. Now a question that comes to our mind is what is Discourse in NLP? Well, in simple terms, we can say that discourse in NLP is nothing but coherent groups of sentences. So, we can see that the real problem is the processing of the Discourse in NLP, and hence we need to work on it so that our model can be trained well, which will help in better processing of Natural Language data by the computers and hence the Artificial Intelligence can predict the desired result. Now if we are talking about the major problem in Natural Language Processing, then we are talking about the processing of Discourse in NLP. We can even say that Natural Language Processing is quite a difficult issue in the field of AI. One of the primary challenges that we face in the world of Artificial Intelligence is processing Natural Language data by computers. In basic terms, we can say that NLP is nothing but the computer program's ability to process and understand the provided human language. ![]() NLP is the backbone of technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning.In NLP, we perform the analysis and synthesis of the input, and the trained NLP model then predicts the necessary output.

Like many gay men of his era, Alan Scott married a woman more than one over the years, as a matter of fact. He would occasionally visit a local bar frequented by, as he referred to them, 'confirmed bachelors', though he never worked up the confidence to flirt with the other patrons. ![]() Over the years, he would remain closeted to all but a few close friends, primarily friend and assistant Charles 'Derby' Dickles and fellow members of the Justice Society. Despite an open offer of continued collaboration from Alan, Vladimir did not opt to continue this partnership. The pair did, however, briefly team up against a group of Nazi agents that threatened both Russian and American interests. He clashed frequently with Alan Scott, to the extent that they were considered to be each other's arch-nemesis. The Soviet Red Labs managed to tap into a mysterious and mystical Crimson Flame and imbued its power into a lantern and ring very much like Alan's this ring was wielded by Vladamir Sokov, who became known as the Red Lantern. Īlan's prominence inspired the Russian military to attempt to replicate his powers. At some point he would be present for a battle against the Injustice Society, unknowingly fighting alongside the time-displaced conciousness' of the present-day Carter Hall and Shayera Thal. Further AdventuresĪs the Green Lantern, Alan would become instrumental in founding the Justice Society of America. Her words inspired the oath he would recite when he charged his ring on the Lantern. Glowing like a green phantom, he phased through the walls of Dekker's office and made him see justice.Īfter a revealing encounter with Jimmy's mother, Doris Henton, Alan promised her that he would continue to use that light, which she said was also in her son, to help people find their way through the darkness. With this fantastic new power under his command, Alan set out to find Albert Dekker – the man responsible for blowing up the bridge and killing Jimmy. When Alan woke up, he tried to save the dying Jimmy, who pointed out to him the presence of a strange green light among the wreckage. Everyone on board was killed in the explosion – everyone but Alan Scott. The train would pass over a bridge that Alan designed he recently outbid a rival engineer named Albert Dekker for that bridge contract, but a bomb exploded beneath the bridge derailing the train. On this particular evening, their romantic encounter would end in tragedy, however. They became entangled romantically, and Alan would ride the train four times a week just to see Jimmy, where they would meet in the engine room. Jimmy and Alan had met as passengers aboard a similar train some time prior, and become close friends after Jimmy found work as a conductor. On July 16th, 1940, Alan Scott and Jimmy Henton were travelling aboard a train together. When their time together was done, Alan took 'Ladd' as part of this name in Ladd's honor, becoming Alan Ladd-Scott. The conversation was interrupted, however, by an eruption of crimson energy from beneath the sea. Though he cared for Ladd, the idea scared Alan. Late in the project, Ladd suggested Alan that they continue the relationship in a more real sense after the projected completed. Ladd helped him understand what he was going through, and the pair began a romantic relationship. While a member of this project, he developed romantic feelings for fellow engineer Corporal John Michael Ladd. ![]() In 1936, Alan Scott was drafted into the Army Corps of Engineers and assigned to an important mission: to locate and harness the semi-mythical Crimson Flame, believed to be somewhere beneath the sea in the North Pacific.

Consequently, there has been no healthy and continuing tradition of literary meditation on the Canonical Hours as such since the Middle Ages, excepting the official re visions of the Psalter, Prayer Book, and Breviary, which generally have drawn from the recorded meditations of the early church fathers. Except in certain monastic communities, the observance of these seven hours of devotion gradually fell off, and by the sixteenth century the “hours” had for the most part been reduced again to morning and evening prayers, whose content changed daily according to the prescribed ceremonies of the liturgical calendar of saints’ days and festivals. While a great many such commentaries and apologies were written in the church in and beyond the patristic age, perhaps the most popular, and of most influence in the Christian community at large, was the Golden Legend of Jacobus de Voragine, which presented the events of Christ’s passion and resurrection as the focus for meditation in the hours. Commentaries and apologies subsequently were written to celebrate the aptness of the ceremonial worship which had been so prescribed these commentaries customarily cited scripture or patristic writings identifying those events which occasioned worship in each hour, and quoted biblical authority for the practice of such periodic worship on a daily basis. The fathers of the early church pre scribed a liturgy of prayers and hymns, readings from the scriptures, and devotions, for each of the “hours,” and in time all of these elements of worship became established as the tradition of divine service in the canonical hours. The Golden Legend of Jacobus de Voragine -Lhe horae canonicae are seven “hours” or periods of worship in each day, established by ancient tradition as the canonical or authorized times of com mon worship in the Christian church.
