Structure and properties of chemically prepared nanographene islands characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy

Single‐layer graphene islands with a typical diameter of several nanometers were grown on a Pt (111) substrate. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) analysis showed most of islands are hexagonally shaped and the zigzag‐type edge predominates over the armchair‐type edge. The apparent height at the atoms on the zigzag edge is enhanced with respect to the inside atoms for a small sample bias voltage, while such an enhancement was not observed at the atoms on the armchair edge. This result provides an experimental evidence of spatially (at the zigzag edge) and energetically (at the Fermi level) localized edge state in the nanographene islands, which were prepared chemically on Pt (111).

Essential Oils of New Pigmented Citrus Hybrids: Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck x C clementina Hort. ex Tanaka

: The chemical composition of the essential oils of 2 new pigmented Citrus hybrids (Omo-6 and Omo-12) was studied by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The hybrids were obtained by crossbreeding the orange Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck cultivar‘Moro’ and clementine Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tanaka cultivar‘Oroval’. Seventy-eight components were fully characterized and grouped in five classes (monoterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, aliphatic alcohols and ethers, and aliphatic aldehydes) for an easier comparison of the oils with parents and those of 2 previously analyzed hybrids (Omo-15 and Omo-31) from the same crossbreeding procedure.
Effect of Concentration of Hydrogen Chloride Gas on Chlorination Treatment of Waste Containing Antimony-Uranium Composite Oxide Catalyst - 11274

To clarify the effect of the concentration of hydrogen chloride gas on chlorination treatment for the volatilization of antimony from antimony-uranium composite oxide catalyst, which was used in the acrylonitrile synthesis, chlorination experiments were carried out by changing the concentration of hydrogen chloride gas from 0.6 to 6 vol%. There was remarkable difference in chemical composition of the remaining uranium oxide; UO2 was detected in the sample treated with 6 vol% hydrogen chloride gas for 40 min by XRD analysis while U3O8 was examined in that treated with 0.6 vol% hydrogen chloride gas. Addition of oxygen gas was effective to prevent decrease in the valence of uranium. By the treatment with 6 vol% hydrogen chloride gas and 0.1 vol% oxygen for 40 min, 92 % of antimony volatilized from the waste although uranium remained as U3O8 on silica support.

In agricultural regions, like Whatcom County, Washington, crop and dairy production co-exist, but increased agricultural specialization and intensification have divorced what was, historically, an integrated approach to production. This agricultural segregation contributes to farm, regional and watershed-scale nutrient imbalances, and several different management approaches have been devised to improve, correct and close these nutrient cycling disparities. In high-density production regions, utilizing locally produced bio-based fertilizers may provide one avenue toward closing regional nutrient loops. Technologies such as dairyoperated nutrient recovery systems may help improve the flow of nutrients between dairy and cropping systems by extracting nutrients from raw manure and producing materials that are more easily used on farms than raw manure. To evaluate the potential impact of a nutrient recovery system and its related product, we estimated nitrogen balances between cropland use and manure production within Whatcom County, Washington and examined a theoretical scenario in which a specific nutrient recovery product was utilized across the region. We considered one economic barrier, transportation cost, and calculated a hypothetical comparison for transporting nitrogen in two forms, a downstream nutrient recovery product and raw manure. The scenarios presented here demonstrate a potential gap between regional nutrient supply and demand, illustrate the tradeoffs with a technological approach, and make clear that both technological tools and practical management strategies are needed to address the challenges of redistributing nutrients in high-density production areas.
Influence of Different Forms of Iron and Aluminum on the Nature of Soil Acidity of Some Inceptisols, Alfisols, and Ultisols

Abstract Fifteen acid soils of Mizoram representing Ultisols and Inceptisols, and Madhya Pradesh, representing Alfisols, were studied to characterize the nature of acidity in relation to different forms of iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al). The mean contents of Fe and Al were extracted by various extracting reagents and were found to be in descending order as followed: dithionite>oxalate>pyrophosphate>ammonium acetate>KCl. The electrostatically bonded EB‐H+ and EB‐Al3+ acidity comprised 28.3 and 71.7% of exchangeable acidity whereas EB‐H+, EB‐Al3+, exchangeable, and pH‐dependent acidities comprised 9.8, 30.7, 40.5, and 59.5% of total potential acidity. All forms, of acidity showed significant correlation with pHk and organic carbon. Among the different forms, Fe and Al caused most of the variations in different forms of soil acidity but the effect of different forms of Al are more active and directly participate in the formation of EB‐H+, EB‐Al3+, and exchangeable acidity.

Knowledge, attitude, and behavior related to secondhand smoke exposure among pregnant women with smoking spouses in Davangere City: A cross-sectional survey

Background: Exposure to secondhand smoke among pregnant women is highly prevalent in India. Secondhand smoke exposure is linked with various serious deleterious health problems. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude, and behavior related to secondhand smoke exposure among pregnant women with smoking husbands in Davangere city. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 245 nonsmoking pregnant women with smoking husbands attending two antenatal clinics in Davanagere city using pretested, validated, investigator-administered closed-ended 18 item questionnaire. Responses to items were placed on a 3-point Likert scale. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 21 (IBM Corp., Armonk, N.Y., USA) was used for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics were generated in terms of percentages. Results: The mean age of study participants was 26.22 ± 4.11 years. Majority of pregnant women were unaware of secondhand smoke exposure (>60%). They were unaware of its systemic complications such as cardiac problems, respiratory problems, and cancer. They were unaware of the harmful effects of secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) on fetus/child (>60%) which indicated poor knowledge of participants toward harmful effects of secondhand smoke exposure majority of participants showed favorable attitude (>50%) and felt the need to get educated regarding SHS. Majority reported positive behavior by refraining themselves from secondhand smoke (>50%). Conclusions: Knowledge regarding secondhand smoke exposure among pregnant women with smoking husbands was poor. Inspite of having favorable attitude and behavior toward avoidance of smoke exposure, majority of women felt helpless in refraining their husbands from smoking.
The Leaching Characteristics of Trace Elements in Coal Fly Ash and an Ash Disposal System of Thermal Power Plants

Abstract The present investigation was conducted to study the leaching characteristics of trace elements in coal fly ash and the ash disposal system of thermal power plants. The batch experiment for the fly ash collected from the hopper of the electrostatic precipitator of the thermal power plant, Delhi, was carried out to study the leaching characteristics of Fe, Cr, Cu, Pb, Cd, and Ni. Four leaching time intervals were selected, ranging from 1 week to 4 weeks. From the experiments, leaching behavior of trace elements was investigated and it was observed that ‘Cr’ and ‘Ni’ have a relatively higher leachability in extraction solution than aqueous and buffer solution. Furthermore, with the leaching time, the leachability of ‘Cu’ is increased in aqueous and extraction solution. The leachability of ‘Cd’ increased with leaching time in aqueous and buffer solution. With the increase of leaching time, the leachability of ‘Fe’ in extraction fluid increased with time with small fluctuation.

Background. Large international differences exist in access to renal replacement therapy (RRT) modalities and comprehensive conservative management (CCM) for patients with endstage kidney disease (ESKD), suggesting that some patients are not receiving the most appropriate treatment. Previous studies mainly focused on barriers reported by patients or medical barriers (e.g. comorbidities) reported by nephrologists. An overview of the non-medical barriers reported by nephrologists when providing the most appropriate form of RRT (other than conventional in-centre haemodialysis) or CCM is lacking. Methods. We searched in EMBASE and PubMed for original articles with a cross-sectional design (surveys, interviews or focus groups) published between January 2010 and September 2018. We included studies in which nephrologists reported barriers when providing RRT or CCM to adult patients with ESKD. We used the barriers and facilitators survey by Peters et al. [Ruimte Voor Verandering? Knelpunten en Mogelijkheden Voor Verbeteringen in de Patiëntenzorg. Nijmegen: Afdeling Kwaliteit van zorg (WOK), 2003] as preliminary framework to create our own model and performed meta-ethnographic analysis of non-medical barriers in text, tables and figures. Results. Of the 5973 articles screened, 16 articles were included using surveys (n1⁄4 10), interviews (n1⁄4 5) and focus groups (n1⁄4 1). We categorized the barriers into three levels: patient level (e.g. attitude, role perception, motivation, knowledge and socio-cultural background), level of the healthcare professional (e.g. fears and concerns, working style, communication skills) and level of the healthcare system (e.g. financial barriers, supportive staff and practice organization). Conclusions. Our systematic review has identified a number of modifiable, non-medical barriers that could be targeted by, for example, education and optimizing financing structure to improve access to RRT modalities and CCM.
Rules of Origin and Automobile Parts Trade

Recent decades have witnessed the growing importance of trade in intermediate goods and pursuit of free trade agreements (FTAs). FTAs distort firms sourcing decisions internationally through preferential tariffs and rules of origin (RoOs), a set of regional value content (RVC) criterion to ensure that goods are originated from member countries to be granted preferential treatment when exporting within the FTA. This paper unpacks the effects of FTAs and distinguishes the intermediate trade elasticities with respect to RoOs and tariffs, focusing on the automobile industry. Decisions of how much car parts to acquire and which supplier location to select for each part are modeled for car assemblers. With the derived gravity trade equation, the estimation identifies significant diversion in sourcing induced by high RVC requirement, to an extent more than a direct tariff reduction. However, RVC below 60% tends not to be binding. The impacts of RoOs are further heterogeneous depending on export destinations of final goods, the degree of preferential treatment and the value of inputs. ∗Please send any comments to chenying.yang@sauder.ubc. ca
NIGERIAN JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND COUNSELLING PSYCHOLOGY

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention of school social work as a measure to be used in . managing deviant behaviour among students in secondary schools. The study examined the type and most frequent deviant behaviours displayed by the students; and how deviant behaviour could be managed through social work intervention. The study employed descriptive survey method. An instrument, ' 'Deviant Behaviour and the Intervention of Social Workers Questionnaire' (DBISWQ) with r = 0.89 was used to collect data for the study. The population comprised all secondary schools students in Ibarapa Central Local Governments Area, Oyo State who have been referred to the School Guidance Counsellors for one problem or another. Three hundred respondents were randomly selected from five schools. Data collected were analysed using Analysis of Variance. The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed significant corrective effect of school social work intervention on the reduction of deviant behaviour among the students. Based on the findings, it was concluded that deviant behaviour could be reduced significantly by the intervention of school social workers. It was then recommended that school social workers should collaborate with Guidance Counsellors and be incorporated into school management personnel. Government should also establish the position of school social workers and reflect this in the National Policy on Education.
EVIDENCE REGARDING ENTERPRISE BEHAVIORAL DYNAMICS IN GREECE

This paper is part of the research project titled "Shadow economy and corruption in Greece: Size, causes and impact. " Drawing from a discussion about the alternative methods adopted by researches based on tax compliance games it introduces a multifaceted approach and research methodology to tax compliance and presents the preliminary results of our questionnaire survey aiming to identify the tax behavioural dynamics of Greek SMEs. The preliminary qualitative data of our interviews indicate that the loss of income experienced during the crisis particularly by Greek micro and small businesses has led to an increase in the number of tax evasion transactions. However, and as might be predicted by the classical economic model of tax evasion, the average amount of money involved in all these cases has declined, mainly as a result of the increased frequency of tax audits and higher fines imposed. Among the policy measures proposed by the authors is the introduction of a significantly lower and thus much more internationally competitive corporate taxation rate. The ultimate aim is to develop a policy mixture that would significantly enhance tax morale and tax compliance and thus, affect positively tax revenues and at the same time improve the country's attractiveness for inward foreign direct investment.
Assessment of three vermicomposts as organic amendments used to enhance diuron sorption in soils with low organic carbon content

Vermicomposts from the wine and distillery industry containing spent grape marc (V1), biosolid vinasse (V2) and alperujo (V3) from the olive‐oil industry were investigated as organic amendments to a sandy and a clay soil with low organic carbon (OC) contents (≤1%). The sorption‐desorption process was studied in batch experiments using diuron as a non‐ionic herbicide model. The effect of soil and vermicompost characteristics, the solution's ionic strength and incubation time of amended soils on the sorption process was studied. The addition of vermicompost changed soil properties and enhanced sorption capacity by two‐ to four‐fold. The Koc variability showed that exogenous OC composition influenced diuron sorption. Vermicompost V1, which had the largest OC and lignin content, recorded the largest sorption increment. Vermicompost V3, which had the greatest dissolved organic carbon content and a high degree of humification, made the smallest contribution to sorption. Sorption was also dependent on extraneous calcium in the solution. The incubation of amended soils reduced diuron sorption efficiency except with V3. Pyrolysis‐gas chromatography (Py‐GC) analysis was a useful tool to characterize the vermicomposts and to understand the variation of diuron sorption constants after vermicompost incubation. This research encourages the use of vermicompost from agro‐industrial wastes as a sustainable means to minimize the side effects of neutral herbicides.
Spontaneous Neonatal Gastric Perforation: About Two Cases Treated with Success in Cotonou

Neonatal gastric perforation is rare with a serious prognosis. Over a period of 10 years we had two cases successfully treated in our departments. Cases: It was a girl and a boy, vaginely delivered in the same year. The pregnancy was well followed in the first case and badly in the second. APGAR score at birth, at 2700 g girl was 10-10-10, and at 2900 g boy at 7-7-8 after resuscitation. On admission, newborns were cyanotic, tachycardic and tachypnotic; there was abdominal distension with diffuse abdominal tympanism, occurring on the second day, and scrotal swelling in addition for the boy. The abdominal X-rays objectified a massive pneumoperitoneum in the shape of a “saddle horse”. Laparotomy found gastric perforation in the area of parietal hypoplasia in both cases. An excision suture had been performed. The postoperative course was simple. Conclusion: Spontaneous neonatal gastric perforation is rare. Early diagnosis and management had resulted in a favourable outcome of the cases
Understanding Destination Image in UGC: A Lexicon Approach

Destination image has always been an intensive research area in tourism as having a knowledge of destination image can benefit both supplyside, such as destination position and promotion, and demand-side, related to tourist decisionmaking and satisfaction(Balogluand Mc Cleary, 1999; Beerliand Martín, 2004; Qu, Kim, andIm, 2011; Qu, Kim, andIm, 2011). Destination image is thought to be formed by visitors’ reasoned and emotional evaluation of two closely interrelated components: cognitive assessment, related to visitors’ own knowledge and beliefs about the attributes of the society, and affective evaluation associated with how individual feel about the object (Balogluand Mc Cleary, 1999). Compared with induced resources, referring to the information from marketing organizations, organic information sources, such as knowledge or experience from friends and relatives, exert a significant impact on the factors determining cognitive image of destination (Beerliand Martín, 2004). Cognitive attributes are found to have a significant effect on the affective attributes, and work as the antecedent of affective attributes (Stern and Krakover, 2010; Lin, Morais, Kerstetter, andHou, 2007). Baloglu and McCleary (1999) identified both cognitive and affective components working together can generate a compound destination image. The cognitive and affective components of destination image could result in a predisposition to revisit and recommend the destination (Prayag, and Ryan, 2011; Qu, Kim, andIm, 2011). It has also been found that the strength of affective attributes is stronger than cognitive attributes to generate the overall destination image, which calls for the strengthening the affective component in destination marketing strategy (Baloglu and McCleary, 1999; Li, Cai, Lehto, and Huang, 2010).
Island effects and resumption in spoken Jordanian Arabic: an auditory acceptability judgment study

One central claim in the literature on resumptive pronouns is that resumptive pronouns ameliorate island effects. For languages that do not allow resumption as a grammatical option (intrusive resumption), a number of recent acceptability judgment studies have cast doubt on this claim by showing small or no amelioration effects. For languages that do allow resumption as a grammatical option (grammaticalized resumption), there have been relatively few judgment studies; but the few that exist have also shown small or no amelioration effects. In this article, we further investigate this issue for spoken Jordanian Arabic, a relatively understudied grammaticalized resumption language. We test four island types (adjunct, complex NP, wh, and whether) and two dependency types (bare wh-words and relative clauses) in an auditory judgment study. Our results revealed seven island effects with gaps. With resumption, one shows clear amelioration; one shows a novel form of amelioration involving a subliminal island effect; and five show no amelioration. This pattern of results raises the possibility that the claim that grammaticalized resumption ameliorates island effects is less universal, and therefore more complex, than previously thought. Though not the focus of our study, our results also suggest a number of new avenues of research on topics related to resumption and movement, such as the uniformity of Aʹ-dependencies with respect to island effects, the role of movement in resumption, the cross-linguistic variation in island effects, and the existence of subliminal island effects.
