Magnetic Field Energy Harvesting from AC Lines for Powering Wireless Sensor Nodes in Smart Grids

This paper presents an electromagnetic energy harvesting device for capturing power from ac power lines using a miniaturized linear permanent magnet (PM) synchronous generator. The suggested device is useful to power wireless monitoring sensors in emerging smart grids. Conventional methods for energy harvesting from power lines use current transformers which structurally need to form closed magnetic paths around the lines. However, the suggested device can operate in the proximity of the lines due to using an independent PM generator. This feature facilitates installation of the device particularly in smart grids that require ample of easy-to-install and maintenance free monitoring sensors along the power lines. The proposed energy harvester uses a magnetically driven vibrating beam around the line that is attached to a linear PM synchronous generator (PMSG) including an array of small PMs with opposite polarities. This PM arrangement improves the induced voltage of the generator due to increasing the flux gradient within the linear PMSG. Experimental test results based on a cm-scale prototype show that an average power of 0.16 mW at 50 A (i.e., power density of 3.2 mW/kA) is achievable, equivalent to a 1038-mAh/2.7-V re-chargeable battery per year for a 100-A line.
Separation of the Energetic and Geometric Contributions to Aromaticity, 2. Analysis of the Aromatic Character of Benzene Rings in Their Various Topological Environments in the Benzenoid Hydrocarbons. Crystal and Molecular Structure of Coronene

Statistical analysis of the aromatic character and its geometric and energetic contributions of 167 benzene rings embedded in various topological environments in 26 benzenoid hydrocarbons leads to the following conclusions: the aromatic character of benzene rings with three or fewer fused rings is due mostly to geometric contributions, whereas in other cases energetic contribution is decisive. Aromaticity indices for individual rings (local aromaticity) depend strongly on the kind of topological environment. Terminal rings always exhibit a strong aromatic character, whereas those fused to many rings are often weakly aromatic. The study is based on precisely solved X-ray or neutron crystal structure determination retrieved from Cambridge Structural Database supplemented by our own precise determination of coronene.
A Glial Endogenous Cannabinoid System Is Upregulated in the Brains of Macaques with Simian Immunodeficiency Virus-Induced Encephalitis

Recent evidence supports the notion that the endocannabinoid system may play a crucial role in neuroinflammation. We explored the changes that some elements of this system exhibit in a macaque model of encephalitis induced by simian immunodeficiency virus. Our results show that profound alterations in the distribution of specific components of the endocannabinoid system occur as a consequence of the viral infection of the brain. Specifically, expression of cannabinoid receptors of the CB2 subtype was induced in the brains of infected animals, mainly in perivascular macrophages, microglial nodules, and T-lymphocytes, most likely of the CD8 subtype. In addition, the endogenous cannabinoid-degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase was overexpressed in perivascular astrocytes as well as in astrocytic processes reaching cellular infiltrates. Finally, the pattern of CB1 receptor expression was not modified in the brains of infected animals compared with that in control animals. These results resemble previous data obtained in Alzheimer's disease human tissue samples and suggest that the endocannabinoid system may participate in the development of human immunodeficiency virus-induced encephalitis, because activation of CB2 receptors expressed by immune cells is likely to reduce their antiviral response and thus could favor the CNS entry of infected monocytes.

Information on the Super Yang-Mills spectrum

We investigate the spectrum of the lightest states of N=1 Super Yang-Mills theory. We first study the spectrum using the recently extended Veneziano Yankielowicz theory containing also the glueball states besides the gluinoball ones. Using a simple Kaehler term we show that within the effective Lagrangian approach one can accommodate either the possibility in which the glueballs are heavier or lighter than the gluinoball fields. We then provide an argument independent from the effective Lagrangian which allows, using information about ordinary QCD, to deduce that the lightest states in Super Yang-Mills theory are the gluinoballs. This helps constraining the Kaehler term of the effective Lagrangian. Using this information and the effective Lagrangian we note that there is a small mixing among the gluinoball and glueball states.
Polarisation and mode combinations for ship detection using RADARSAT-2

RADARSAT-2 provides new opportunities for spaceborne monitoring of vessel traffic and fishing activities. A series of RADARSAT-2 data has been collected and analysed over Norwegian waters. ScanSAR and Standard Quad-pol images have been used in the analyses. The Norne field is used as a test site, because it is possible to image the same vessel under different conditions. The different polarisations and polarisation combinations are analysed.
Effects of Different Salinities on Juvenile Growth of Gammarus aequicauda (Malacostraca: Amphipoda)

Gammarus aequicauda is a euryhaline amphipod that is a common inhabitant of brackish environments of the Mediterranean Sea. In the Ebro delta, the population density of G. aequicauda is highly variable throughout the year. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of salinity on the growth of G. aequicauda juveniles. G. aequicauda embryos and juveniles can survive and grow in the laboratory between 2 psu and 40 psu salinity, depending on the previous acclimation period for the reproductive individuals. Adults acclimated at 34 psu produced embryos and juveniles that survived and developed at salinities between 9 psu and 40 psu; adults acclimated at 9 psu produced embryos and juveniles that could develop in oligohaline conditions. The lower growth rate values were 10.9 μm d−1 and 13.5 μm d−1 at 40 psu and 2 psu, respectively, with the higher values of 18.0 μm d−1 and 18.5 μm d−1 at 19 and 34 psu, respectively.
Retention and Treatment Outcomes of an Undernutrition Program for HIV patients involving Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food at Gondar University Hospital, Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

INTRODUCTION Despite global efforts to eradicate poverty and hunger, under-nutrition is still a major health problem, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, where HIV/AIDS prevalence is also a serious burden. AIM To assess the retention and outcomes of under-nutrition treatment program in Gondar University Hospital, Ethiopia. SETTINGS AND DESIGN A cross-sectional study was conducted in HIV positive children and adults participating in the Ready-to-use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) treatment program at Gondar University Hospital ART clinic for one year from November 2012 to November 2013. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six hundred and thirty six patient records were followed-up for one year. Outcome variables were Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) values measured as severe, moderate acute malnutrition, normal after treatment, non-respondent, relapsed and lost to follow-up using the hospital records of HIV positive children and adults eligible for the program. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to compute Crude Odds Ratio (COR) and Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR). Statistical significance was set at p-value<0.05. RESULTS Among 636 clients, 44.2% achieved MUAC measures ≥ 125 mm for children and ≥ 21 cm for adults at 4 and 6 months. 70.1% of those were children while 29.9% of the 281 were adults. Moreover, a more positive initial response to ready-to-use therapeutic food was found among children as there was significant increase (p<0.05) in MUAC value after the second month of initiating treatment while adults achieved a significant (p<0.05, p<0.01) in MUAC at the 4(th) and 6(th) month respectively. There was a significant association between age, nutrition status and treatment outcome, while sex, HIV status, education and residency were not associated with treatment outcome. CONCLUSION Recovery and weight gain rates were below 50%. Defaulter rates were higher than the Sphere standards and recovery was better in children than adults. Integrated RUTF and HIV program and strict follow-up and education or counselling of HIV positive patients should be strengthened.
Genre and Rhetorical Craft

searchers to provide evidence for the value of explicit instruction in genre. Before composition researchers accept or answer this challenge, they have some ground-clearing questions to ask, among them how "genre," and therefore the explicit teaching of genre, should be defined, and what role genre instruction has had in the history of teaching writing. And because Freedman's article is in many ways an argument against any explicit teaching of techne in the writing classroom, they might also ask how a craft, as opposed to a body of knowledge, is learned. These are bracing basic questions, and the following brief response to Freedman's article attempts to address them.
Asymmetric Sensory Reweighting in Human Upright Stance

To investigate sensory reweighting as a fundamental property of sensor fusion during standing, we probed postural control with simultaneous rotations of the visual scene and surface of support. Nineteen subjects were presented with pseudo-random pitch rotations of visual scene and platform at the ankle to test for amplitude dependencies in the following conditions: low amplitude vision: high amplitude platform, low amplitude vision: low amplitude platform, and high amplitude vision: low amplitude platform. Gain and phase of frequency response functions (FRFs) to each stimulus were computed for two body sway angles and a single weighted EMG signal recorded from seven muscles. When platform stimulus amplitude was increased while visual stimulus amplitude remained constant, gain to vision increased, providing strong evidence for inter-modal reweighting between vision and somatosensation during standing. Intra-modal reweighting of vision was also observed as gains to vision decreased as visual stimulus amplitude increased. Such intra-modal and inter-modal amplitude dependent changes in gain were also observed in muscular activity. Gains of leg segment angle and muscular activity relative to the platform, on the other hand, showed only intra-modal reweighting. That is, changing platform motion amplitude altered the responses to both visual and support surface motion whereas changing visual scene motion amplitude did not significantly affect responses to support surface motion, indicating that the sensory integration scheme between somatosensation (at the support surface) and vision is asymmetric.
The Mechanism of Nucleotide-assisted Molybdenum Insertion into Molybdopterin

The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is synthesized by an ancient and conserved biosynthetic pathway. In plants, the two-domain protein Cnx1 catalyzes the insertion of molybdenum into molybdopterin (MPT), a metal-free phosphorylated pyranopterin carrying an ene-dithiolate. Recently, we identified a novel biosynthetic intermediate, adenylated molybdopterin (MPT-AMP), which is synthesized by the C-terminal G domain of Cnx1. Here, we show that MPT-AMP and molybdate bind in an equimolar and cooperative way to the other N-terminal E domain (Cnx1E). Tungstate and sulfate compete for molybdate, which demonstrates the presence of an anion-binding site for molybdate. Cnx1E catalyzes the Zn2+-/Mg2+-dependent hydrolysis of MPT-AMP but only when molybdate is bound as co-substrate. MPT-AMP hydrolysis resulted in stoichiometric release of Moco that was quantitatively incorporated into plant apo-sulfite oxidase. Upon Moco formation AMP is release as second product of the reaction. When comparing MPT-AMP hydrolysis with the formation of Moco and AMP a 1.5-fold difference in reaction rates were observed. Together with the strict dependence of the reaction on molybdate the formation of adenylated molybdate as reaction intermediate in the nucleotide-assisted metal transfer reaction to molybdopterin is proposed.
Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of recombinant human growth hormone by subcutaneous jet‐ or needle‐injection in patients with growth hormone deficiency

Eighteen growth hormone (GH) deficient children and adolescents (11 6/12–20 9/12 y) participated in a randomized open, two‐period (4 weeks) cross‐over study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) administered daily, either by subcutaneous jet‐injection or conventional needle‐injection. Plasma growth hormone (GH), insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1), insulin‐like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP‐3), glucose, insulin, HbAlc and serum‐free fatty acids (FFA) levels were analysed repeatedly. GH absorption characteristics, expressed as AUC0‐x, Cmax and Tmax ratio (%) jet‐injected over needle‐injected were similar in both groups. IGF‐I and IGFBP‐3 plasma levels were identical in both groups. Serum FFA concentrations were comparable after GH administration with either injection device. Surprisingly nocturnal blood glucose decreased to asymptomatic hypoglycaemic levels in all patients. The results of this study showed equal responses concerning absorption and bioavailability of growth hormone administered daily for 4 weeks by either a jet or a needle‐injection device in GH‐deficient children and adolescents.
DNA-dependent conversion of Oct-1 and Oct-2 into transcriptional repressors by Groucho/TLE

POU domain proteins contain a bipartite DNA-binding element that can confer allosteric control of coactivator recruitment. Dimerization of Oct-1 and Oct-2 on palindromic response elements results in the conformational dependent inclusion or exclusion of the transcriptional coactivator OBF-1. In this paper, we demonstrate that Oct-1 and Oct-2 can function as transcriptional repressors by recruiting and physically interacting with members of the Grg/TLE family of corepressors. In accordance with a model of DNA induced cofactor assembly, and analogous to the recruitment of the OBF-1 coactivator, the different Grg/TLE members can discriminate between both Oct-1 and Oct-2, and the monomeric or dimeric nature of the POU/DNA complex.
On the Inevitable Bounding of Pluralism in ESE—An Empirical Study of the Swedish Green Flag Initiative

This paper explores potential tensions in transformative learning and environmental and sustainability education (ESE) between, on the one hand, pluralistic approaches, and, on the other hand, promotion of societal change to address urgent issues. We stipulate that design of ESE inevitably contributes to a bounding of the plurality of facts and values that are acknowledged in a given learning process. Based on a frame analysis of the Swedish Green Flag initiative, we argue that such bounding by design is a key aspect of how ESE practitioners handle tensions between pluralism and urgency, either consciously or unconsciously. Given its inevitability and importance, we assert that bounding by design is insufficiently theorized in ESE literature, which might partly explain that practitioners perceive pluralistic ideals as challenging. In the empirics, we discern three justifications for bounding by design: (i) certain facts or degree of scientific consensus; (ii) objectives decided by elected bodies; and (iii) decisions taken by student and teacher representatives. We point to the theory of libertarian paternalism and a typology of democratic legitimacy as conceptual tools that can guide further scrutiny of pluralistic ESE and support practitioners in undertaking conscious and transparent bounding by design.

Climate for Personal Initiative and Radical and Incremental Innovation in Firms: A Validation Study

We examine whether organizational climate for personal initiative (PI climate) is conducive to firm innovation in small and medium-sized firms. Employees with PI are self-starting, proactive, and persistent, and a PI climate is characterized by common norms of encouraging PI at the workplace. A climate that fosters PI among employees would enhance the innovation output of firms, since it increases not only proactive thinking about future opportunities and problems but self-starting action as well. This PI climate is distinct from the team climate inventory (TCI, Anderson and West, 1996). We contrast the PI climate measure (Baer and Frese, 2003) with the TCI for predicting radical and incremental innovations in firms. Findings reveal (with 25 firms, N = 82 employees) that PI climate was related to radical innovation, but not incremental innovation. On the other hand, the TCI (unrelated to radical innovation) was related to incremental innovation. Our study results imply that different organizational climates account for the different forms of innovation in firms.
Size reduction by interpolation in fuzzy rule bases

Fuzzy control is at present still the most important area of real applications for fuzzy theory. It is a generalized form of expert control using fuzzy sets in the definition of vague/linguistic predicates, modeling a system by If.then rules. In the classical approaches it is necessary that observations on the actual state of the system partly match (fire) one or several rules in the model (fired rules), and the conclusion is calculated by the evaluation of the degrees of matching and the fired rules. Interpolation helps reduce the complexity as it allows rule bases with gaps. Various interpolation approaches are shown. It is proposed that dense rule bases should be reduced so that only the minimal necessary number of rules remain still containing the essential information in the original base, and all other rules are replaced by the interpolation algorithm that however can recover them with a certain accuracy prescribed before reduction. The interpolation method used for demonstration is the Lagrange method supplying the best fitting minimal degree polynomial. The paper concentrates on the reduction technique that is rather independent from the style of the interpolation model, but cannot be given in the form of a tractable algorithm. An example is shown to illustrate possible results and difficulties with the method.
An unusual reciprocal translocation detected by subtelomeric FISH: Interstitial and not terminal

An 11‐month‐old boy with a pattern of dysmorphic signs, an atrial septal defect, right inguinal hernia, bilateral undescended testes, bilateral urinary reflux, right renal dysplasia, and developmental delay had an abnormal chromosome 11 with additional material of unknown origin attached to the long arm in his karyotype. The paternal karyotype was normal 46,XY, while the mother's karyotype was 46,XX,t(2;11)(q35;q24.2). Thus, a reciprocal terminal exchange was assumed resulting in duplication of distal 2q material and a small subterminal 11q deletion. However, application of subtelomeric fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes indicated that the translocation was not a terminal reciprocal exchange, but was interstitial at least for one of the chromosomes, which would be highly unusual since most interstitial translocations are non‐reciprocal. Based on the results of FISH and microsatellite marker examinations, the designation of the breakpoints and thus of the deleted and duplicated segments had to be revised. The findings have implications for karyotype‐phenotype correlation. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Resolution of dynamic memory allocation and pointers for the behavioral synthesis from C

One of the greatest challenges in C/C++-based design methodology is to efficiently map C/C++ models into hardware. Many of the networking and multimedia applications implemented in hardware or mixed hardware/software systems are making use of complex data structures stored in one or multiple memories. As a result, many of the C/C++ features which were originally designed for software applications are now making their way into hardware. Such features include dynamic memory allocation and pointers used to manage data. We present a solution for efficiently mapping arbitrary C code with pointers and malloc/free into hardware. Our solution fits current memory management methodologies. It consists of instantiating a hardware allocator tailored to an application and a memory architecture. Our work also supports the resolution of pointers without restriction on the data structures. An implementation using the SUIF framework is presented, followed by some case studies such as the realization of a video filter.
Generalized Hantzsche-Wendt Flat Manifolds

We study the family of closed Riemannian n-manifolds with holonomy group isomorphic to Z2n-1, which we call generalized Hantzsche-Wendt manifolds. We prove results on their structure, compute some invariants, and find relations between them, illustrated in a graph connecting the family.
