...Republic of the Philippines COURT OF APPEALS MANILA EIGHTH (8th) DIVISION ***** HAYDEN KHO, JR., CA-G.R. SP. NO. 121130 Petitioner, Members: -versus- MA. KATRINA IREN P. HALILI, Respondent. TIJAM, N.G., Chairman, BARZA, R.F. and SORONGON, E.D. JJ. Promulgated: ____________________ x---------------------------------------------x DECISION •SORONGON, E.D., J. : It is axiomatic that a license to practice a profession is not an inherent right but a mere privilege burdened with responsibilities. Possession of the qualifications prescribed by law prior to admission to a profession is not only a prerequisite to the grant of a license but a continuing requirement. Towards this end, the State, by virtue of its general police power, may suspend or revoke the professional license of an erring registered professional, in this case a medical practitioner, showing any fault or deficiency in his moral character, honesty, probity or good demeanor. CA-G.R. SP. NO. 121130 DECISION Page 2 In this Petition for Review under Rule 43 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure, petitioner Hayden Kho, Jr. seeks to reverse and set aside the August 22, 2011 Decision 1 of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) in Administrative Case No. A-373 which affirmed the earlier Decision2 of the Board of Medicine dated November 20, 2009 finding him guilty of Immorality, Dishonorable and/or Unethical Conduct and the latter's subsequent Order 3 dated February 8, 2010 denying petitioner's Motion for Reconsideration...

...An Extended Entity-Relationship Model for Geographic Applications * Thanasis Hadzilacos Computer Technology Institute, University of Patras Box 1122, GR-26110, Patras, Greece thh@cti.gr Nectaria Tryfona National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis Univ. of Maine, Orono, ME 04469-5711, U.S.A nectaria@spatial.maine.edu Abstract. A special-purpose extension of the EntityRelationship model for the needs of conceptual modeling of geographic applications, called the Geo-ER Model, is presented. Handling properties associated to objects not because of the objects’ nature but because of the objects’ position, calls for dealing -at the semantic modeling levelwith space, location and dimensionality of objects, spatial relationships, space-depending attributes, and scale and generalization of representations. In order to accomplish this in the framework of ER and its derivatives, we introduce special entity sets, relationships, and add new constructs. The rationale as well as examples of usage of the Geo-ER model from actual projects are presented. 1. Introduction Is everybody special or are we all alike? Should we develop applications according to a special methodology for each class of applications, such as medical, business process and geographic, or should we use a single blanket approach for all? Personal preferences and philosophical discussions aside, it does seem that the general purpose side has won most battles in computer science, from hardware to programming languages...

...placebo twice daily for 8 weeks after a 2-week run-in period. Pre- and posttreatment gastrointestinal transit measurements were performed in all patients. Patients recorded their bowel function and symptoms daily in a diary during the 10-week study, which was powered to detect a 50% change in the primary colonic transit end-point. Results: There were no significant differences in mean gastrointestinal transit measurements, bowel function scores or satisfactory global symptom relief between the two treatment groups, pre- or post-therapy. Differences in abdominal bloating scores between treatments were borderline significant (P ¼ 0.09, analysis of covariance). Further analysis revealed that abdominal bloating was reduced (P ¼ 0.046) with VSL#3 [mean post- minus pre-treatment score, ) 13.7; 95% confidence interval (CI), ) 2.5 to ) 24.9], but not with placebo (P ¼ 0.54) (mean post- minus pre-treatment score, ) 1.7; 95% CI, 7.1 to ) 10.4).

...International Journal of Applied Business and Economic Research, Vol. 9, No. 2, (2011): 145-165 STUDY ON DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP AMONG GOLD PRICE, OIL PRICE, EXCHANGE RATE AND STOCK MARKET RETURNS K. S. Sujit1 and B. Rajesh Kumar2 Abstract: The dynamic and complex relationship among economic variables has attracted the researchers, policy makers and business people alike. This study is an attempt to test the dynamic relationship among gold price, stock returns, exchange rate and oil price. All these variables have witnessed significant changes over time and hence, it is absolutely necessary to validate the relationship periodically. This study takes daily data from 2nd January 1998 to 5th June 2011, constituting 3485 observations. Using techniques of time series the study tried to capture dynamic and stable relationship among these variables using vector autoregressive and cointegration technique. The results show that exchange rate is highly affected by changes in other variables. However, stock market has fewer roles in affecting the exchange rate. In this study we tested two models and one model suggests that there is weak long term relationship among variables.

...Barring any weather-driven catastrophe or a dramatic decline in inventories, Standard & Poor’s Economics believes that annual average Henry Hub bid-week prices will remain below the 10-year average through at least 2013, with some volatility, but less than that seen in 2008. As of May 23, 2012, its projection for Henry Hub bid-week price was $2.50 in 2012 (compared with $3.99 in 2011), and $3.67 in 2013. Currency issues also have an effect on natural gas prices in the US. For example, should the value of the US dollar weaken against the Canadian dollar, the costs of Canadian natural gas could rise, which would put upward pressure on prices. This could increase the attractiveness of regions where production is more expensive, thus allowing additional supplies to enter the market and potentially limiting how high prices could go. Higher consumption seen in 2012 and in 2013 In its Short-Term Energy Outlook published June 12, 2012, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) projected that total natural gas consumption would increase by 4.3% in 2012 and 2.4% in 2013. Despite the warmer-than-usual winter and the slowdown in withdrawals, the EIA believes that the increase in electric power consumption of natural gas will dwarf the declines that it expects in the residential and commercial sectors. As a result, these people ask whether limited natural gas resources should be squandered on generating electricity when other inexpensive methods of generating power exist The EIA...

...STUDY REPORT No. 146 (2005) Reactive Powder Concrete N.P. Lee & D.H. Chisholm The work reported here was funded by Building Research Levy. © BRANZ 2006 ISSN: 0113-3675 Preface The low flexural tensile strength of concrete has a number of undesirable consequences for its performance as an effective building material. These include the necessity for auxiliary steel reinforcement and the requirement for thick-sectioned members that are both aesthetically unappealing and consume significant quantities of aggregates. The aggregates are an increasingly scarce resource in many urban areas. An emerging technology with the potential to overcome these limitations is reactive powder concrete (RPC). RPC is a cold-cast cementitious material in which the mechanical properties of the composite matrix are improved by (i) suppression of the weak interfacial transition zone normally developed around the aggregate through improved particle packing and (ii) refinement of the hydrated paste microstructure by extensive use of pozzolanic silica and elevated temperature curing. Tensile capacity is provided by steel micro-fibres rather than conventional reinforcement. The result is a material with the potential for flexural strength up to 50 MPa and ductility and energy absorption values approaching those of steel. The low and non-connected porosity of RPC also render it extremely durable. RPC offers the possibility of building with concrete using slender members in a ‘steel-like’ ...

...California Institute of Technology Physics 77 Vacuum Techniques and Thin Film Deposition Experiment 3 (October 2001) 1 Introduction Much of modern experimental physics is done under vacuum. Design and construction of vacuum apparatus is one of the most useful ”bread and butter” skills an experimentalist in condensed matter, atomic, or optical physics can have, and the subject of vacuum engineering is a vast one. This lab serves as an introduction to basic vacuum techniques and thin film growth, another often essential skill for condensed matter physicists. This lab is an optional prerequisite for Experiment 10, Condensed Matter Physics at Cryogenic Temperatures, for which you can grow your own samples for Weak Localization measurements if you choose. 2 Pressure and gas flow In vacuum work, pressures are almost always measured in millimeters of mercury, or torr. One torr is just the pressure necessary to support a column of mercury with a height of one millimeter. The conversion to units more familiar to readers of physics textbooks is 1atmosphere = 101kPa = 760torr There are two pressure regimes of interest to the scientist working with vacuum systems, and gases behave differently in each regime. The first, the viscous flow regime, describes the case where gas flows as a fluid, where the mean free path of the gas molecules is much smaller than the dimensions of the apparatus. The second, the molecular flow regime, describes the high-vacuum case, where the mean...

...Anastacio Teodoro v. Atty. Romeo Gonzales AC No. 6760 January 30, 2013 Facts: AnastacioTeodoro filed a complaint against Gonzales for allegedly intentionally committing forum shopping. Gonzales is the counsel of Araceli in two civil cases filed against Anastacio. The first involved the settlement of the estate of Manuela Teodoro and while the case was pending, Gonzales assisted in filing the subsequent case for Annulment of Document, Reconveyance and Damages without indicating the special proceeding earlier filed. According to Anastacio, this was a deliberate act of forum shopping made by Gonzales. Initially, the commissioner found that Gonzales was indeed guilty of forum shopping for the ruling in either case would result in res judicata over the other and that he instituted the subsequent case without indicating the pending case. The commissioner ruled that Gonzales violated Canon 1 of the code for he disregarded the SC circular prohibiting forum shopping.Hence, suspending him for 1 month. However, the board of Governors of the IBP reversed the Commissioner’s recommendation and dismissed the case. Issue: Whether Gonzales committed forum shopping and thereby violating the Code of Professional Responsibility? Held: Yes. The court held that the respondent was guilty of forum shopping. Lawyers should be reminded that their primary duty is to assist the courts in the administration of justice. Any conduct that tends to delay, impede or obstruct the administration...
