DYNAMIC MECHANICAL RESPONSE OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED 316L AND AlSi10Mg

Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, is a layer by layer method for the fabrication of end use parts. Its utilization in the production of metallic materials, while relatively new, is promising as an alternative technique to build custom or small batch parts with much greater agility than traditional manufacturing methods. The laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) AM technique offers a combination of high geometric accuracy and good mechanical properties for a variety of materials even without post-processing. It can do this by adjusting a number of processing parameters including the intensity of the laser and the thickness of the layers. The characterization of materials produced via LBPF is therefore paramount to the qualification of the process. Charpy v-notch and split Hopkinson pressure bar testing were used to quantify the impact strength of 316L stainless steel and AlSi10Mg aluminum alloys. Samples were produced via LBPF using three different sets of processing parameters for both materials to observe the effects they had on mechanical behavior. The orientation of the build layers, relative to the loading axis of each test, was also varied between 0° and 90° to assess the effect of the inherent anisotropy due to the layer by layer construction. Results for the AlSi10Mg indicated a trend of increasing dynamic compressive strength with the orthogonality of the build layers to the loading axis and a decrease in Charpy absorbed energy from the 0° to 90° build angles. The parameters with the lowest global energy density (GED) showed the highest SHPB flow stress while the medium GED showed the best Charpy absorbed energy. The 316L showed strength trends opposite to those of AlSi10Mg with respect to build angle and little to no variation with processing parameters aside from the low GED Charpy results less which were less than half of the other parameters.
Integrating Green Practices into Operational Performance: Evidence from Brazilian Manufacturers

The pressures exerted by the market, society, regulators and/or clients on organisational environmental responsibility have required companies to adopt environmental management practices. Within this process, integration with suppliers and customers is important to enable companies to meet these demands, and at the same time achieve their organisational goals. Using empirical results from 117 respondents on Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices among Brazilian manufacturers, we examined the impact of the adoption of green practices on operational performance. To do so, we developed a questionnaire to collect the variables on environmental practices and operational performance in manufacturing firms in Brazil, an emerging economy in which this sector accounts for 25% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The results show that the adoption of GSCM between suppliers and/or customers has a positive effect on operational performance. This means companies can benefit from a green supply chain by cooperating with upstream suppliers of environmentally responsible production technology and by exchanging environmental information with them, as well as considering the views of customers and green consumers in their production processes. This study provides empirical support for managers promoting environmental practices that may lead to operational performance and sustainable growth.
Calving event size measurements and statistics of Eqip Sermia, Greenland, from terrestrial radar interferometry

Abstract. Calving is a crucial process for the recently observed dynamic mass loss changes of the Greenland ice sheet. Despite its importance for global sea level change, major limitations in understanding the process of calving remain. This study presents high-resolution calving event data and statistics recorded with a terrestrial radar interferometer at the front of Eqip Sermia, a marine-terminating outlet glacier in Greenland. The derived digital elevation models with a spatial resolution of several metres recorded at 1 min intervals were processed to provide source areas and volumes of 906 individual calving events during a 6 d period. The calving front can be divided into sectors ending in shallow and deep water with different calving statistics and styles. For the shallow sector, characterized by an inclined and very high front, calving events are more frequent and larger than for the vertical ice cliff of the deep sector. We suggest that the calving volume deficiency of 90 % relative to the estimated ice flux in our observations of the deep sector is removed by oceanic melt, subaquatic calving, and small aerial calving events. Assuming a similar ice thickness for both sectors implies that subaqueous mass loss must be substantial for this sector with a contribution of up to 65 % to the frontal mass loss. The size distribution of the shallow sector is represented by a log-normal model, while for the deep sector the log-normal and power-law model fit well, but none of them are significantly better. Variations in calving activity and style between the sectors seem to be controlled by the bed topography and the front geometry. Within the short observation period no simple relationship between environmental forcings and calving frequency or event volume could be detected.

Pill or bill? Influence of monetary incentives on the perceived riskiness and the ethical approval of clinical trials

In clinical trials, incentivizing human research subjects with large amounts of money is often considered unethical, as it may coerce people to participate. This argument implies that people perceive rewards (i.e., incentives) independently of risks (i.e., probability of side-effects) or that they assume that larger rewards are associated with lower risks. However, past research on risk perception indicates that people associate higher rewards with higher risks. To test whether people treat incentives in clinical trials as a proxy for risk, we conducted an online experiment (N = 483) in which people estimated the riskiness of hypothetical clinical trials. We manipulated the monetary incentives that participants of the clinical trials were offered. The results show that people expect more side effects if the monetary incentives for participation are higher. Results further show that the majority of participants were more likely to ethically approve a trial if it offered a high monetary incentive. In contrast to existing ethical guidelines these results suggest that paying large rewards may be less problematic because people implicitly associate them with higher risk and because they trade-off risks and financial benefits.

A complexity perspective on amateur translation networks

ABSTRACT Complexity theory is the study of complex systems composed of multiple interacting agents that function as a whole. A complexity-informed theory of social self-organisation is introduced and applied in this paper to explain the organisational behaviour of amateur translation networks. A case study is conducted on the self-organising dynamics of a group of Chinese amateur translators who collaborate to translate Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provided by overseas educational institutions. Focusing on the outcomes and behavioural patterns of the group’s operation, the case study uncovers mechanisms by which the group maintains and reproduces itself. The article concludes by discussing the implications of complexity thinking for the study of the organisational behaviour of amateur translation networks.

The Association Between Interleukin-10 Gene Polymorphism And Il-10 Levels In Geohelminth Positive Adolescents And Adults In West Sumatera

Geohelminth infection can cause nutritional disorder and anemia. Behind these negative effect, worms turned out to provide protective effect on a number of diseases such as allergies and inflammations. This is related to its ability to modulate the host's immune response via Th-2, characterized by an increase production of Interleukin 10 (IL-10) which is an anti inflammatory cytokine. The genes encoding IL-10 are known to have single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter regions affecting IL-10 production. This study aimed to investigate the IL-10 polymorphisms in geohelminth infections and control and assess their effects on IL-10 production. This research was a comparative crosssectional study. Samples were geohelminth-infected individuals aged >11 years old. Age, gender, and BMI category are matched between cases and controls. IL-10 levels were measured by using the ELISA method. IL-10 gene polymorphism was examined by using PCR and the Sanger sequencing method to detect SNP at rs1800896, rs1800871 and rs1800872. All subjects infected with geohelminth in this study were classified as mild infections. There was a significant increase in IL-10 levels in geohelminth-infected individuals when compared to controls (p<0.05). There was no association between the IL10 gene polymorphism and the incidence of geohelminth infection (p>0.05), but there was a significant association between GA genotype in rs1800896 with elevated levels of IL-10 in geohelminth infections (p <0.05). We concluded that high levels of IL-10 in geohelminth infections were also influenced by IL-10 gene polymorphism, specially the GA genotype at rs1800896.

Does Sustainability Score Impact Mutual Fund Performance?

Given that sustainable investing constitutes a major force across global financial markets, in 2016 Morningstar began reporting Morningstar Sustainability scores. We used the 2016, 2017 and 2018 scores to study the effects of socially responsible investments (SRI) on European equity fund performance. Sustainability scores impacted positively on performance, which was consistent with the idea that the mutual funds invested in companies with better scores generate better risk-adjusted and not-risk adjusted performance. We also tested the relation on mutual fund flows and risk. The sustainability score in the previous year is significant on the flows, so higher-rated funds receive a larger volume of funds. In terms of risk, the level of sustainability is negatively related to the value at risk (VaR) of the fund, supporting that higher scored mutual funds offer better protection against extreme losses.
Firm Value and Performances in Merger Policy: Evidence from Indonesia

This study aims to investigate merger phenomenon undertaken by PT Ciputra Development (CTRA) with its two subsidiaries; PT Ciputra Surya (CTRS) and PT Ciputra Property (CTRP) in 2017 associated with its performances. This paper employs a quantitative approach to examining company performance and value before and after the merger. Aspects observed to compare company performance are a stock performance in the market, financial performance, and company value. Actual return analysis is used to examine stock performance whereas independent samples T-test is employed to examine the financial performances before and after the merger. Firm value is examined using Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE) analysis. This study suggests higher stock performance and lowers financial performance after the merger was undertaken. Moreover, this study finds that after the merger, the firm value of CTRA calculated by different methods suggests a higher number than that before the merger which implies the right decision in undertaking merger to increase firm value.
A Survey of Computer Architecture Simulation Techniques and Tools

Computer architecture simulators play an important role in advancing computer architecture research. With wider research directions and the increased number of simulators that have been developed, it becomes harder to choose a particular simulator to use. This paper reviews the fundamentals of different computer architecture simulation techniques. It also surveys many computer architecture simulators and classifies them into different groups based on their simulation models. Comparing computer architecture simulators with each other and validating their accuracy have been demanding tasks for architects. In addition to providing a survey of computer architecture simulation tools, we measured the experimental error of six contemporary computer architecture simulators: gem5, MARSS $\times86$ , Multi2Sim, PTLsim, Sniper, and ZSim. We also performed a detailed comparison of these simulators based on other features such as flexibility and micro-architectural details. We believe that this paper will be a very useful resource for the computer architecture community especially for early-stage computer architecture and systems researchers to gain exposure to the existing architecture simulation options.

A study of the influence of tropospheric subsidence on spring and summer surface ozone concentrations at the JRC-Ispra station in northern Italy

Abstract. The influence of tropospheric ozone to the surface ozone concentrations is investigated at the monitoring station of JRC-Ispra, based on 10 years of measurements (2006–2015) of surface ozone data. In-situ hourly measurements of ozone and other air-pollutants, meteorological parameters and weekly averaged 7Be (as indicator of upper-tropospheric/stratospheric influence) and 210Pb measurements (as indicator of boundary layer influence), have been used for the analysis. It is observed that frequently 7Be and ozone weekly peaks coincide, which might be explained by the impact of deep atmospheric subsidence on surface ozone, particularly during late spring and early summer. Based on this observation, a detailed analysis of selected 7Be and ozone episodes occurring during that period of the year has been performed in order to further elucidate the mechanisms of tropospheric influence to the surface pollutant concentrations. For the analysis composite NOAA/ESRL reanalysis synoptic meteorological charts in the troposphere have been used as well as IASI satellite ozone measurements and NOAA-HYSPLIT back trajectories. The JRC-station hourly measurements during subsidence episodes show very low values of local pollution parameters (e.g. NOx, 222Rn, nephelometer data, PM10), close to zero. On the contrary, during these periods ozone levels reach usually values around 45–60 ppb during the afternoon hours but also show significantly higher values than the average during the night and morning hours, which is a sign of direct tropospheric influence to the surface ozone concentrations.
The influence of SLC22A1 rs622342 and ABCC8 rs757110 genetic variants on the efficacy of metformin and glimepiride combination therapy in Egyptian patients with type 2 diabetes

Abstract Background: The incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in Egypt is considered one of the highest in the world. Metformin and Sulfonylureas are usually prescribed together due to their efficacy and their relatively low cost. Organic cation transport 1, encoded by SLC22A1 gene, is the main transporter of metformin into hepatocytes, which is considered metformin site of action. Sulfonylureas enhance insulin release from pancreatic B-cells through binding to sulfonylurea receptor 1, encoded by ABCC8 gene. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the SLC22A1 and ABCC8 genes might affect the response of each drug. Aims: To investigate the influence of SLC22A1 rs622342 (A>C) and ABCC8 rs757110 (A>C) genetic variants on the efficacy of metformin and glimepiride combination therapy in Egyptian T2DM patients. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study in which patients receiving metformin and glimepiride combination therapy for at least 6 months were included for genotyping and classified into either responders or non-responders, based on their HbA1C level. Results: A total of 127 patients were included and genotyped. They were divided into 93 responders (HbA1C<7%) and 34 non-responders (HbA1C≥7%). Minor allele frequencies for rs622342 and rs757110 were 0.189 and 0.271, respectively. Only SLC22A1 rs622342 variant was found to be associated with the response of combination therapy, in which AA alleles carriers were 2.7-times more responsive to metformin than C allele carriers (Recessive model, odds ratio = 2.718, p = 0.025, 95% CI = 1.112–6.385). Conclusion: Genotyping of rs622342 can be useful in predicting the response to metformin in combination therapy in Egyptian T2DM patients.
Prescriptive Accentual Norms Versus Usage in Croatian: An Acoustic Study of Standard Pronunciation

Abstract:The divergence of actual spoken usage from the prescriptive Croatian accentual norm has been widely noted, but such observations are largely impressionistic. Relatively little acoustic data is available for the realization of lexical prosodic features specifically in Croatian, as opposed to other closely related varieties, and previous studies have focused mainly on measurements of isolated forms produced by "model" speakers, chosen specifically for their ability to reproduce the standard accentuation. The current study analyzes samples of connected speech taken from recordings of the program Govorimo hrvatski on Croatian Radio 1, comparing the results to those in previous acoustic studies of Croatian or Serbian accentuation. The implications of these findings for the viability of the current prescriptive norm are considered within the Croatian sociolinguistic context.
