Microscopic simulation of structure and dynamics of water and counterions in a monohydrated montmorillonite

Models of swelling clays are studied by computer simulations (Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics). We focus on the comparison of structural and dynamic properties of two montmorillonites with different kinds of counterions Na+ and Cs+. The calculated values are compared with available experimental quantities such as interlayer spacing as a function of water content and diffusion coefficients of both water molecules and counterions in the monohydrated state. The results are consistent with experimental values and previous simulations. For the dynamics, the short time behavior of water as observed with quasielastic neutron scattering is in agreement with simulated one. For the ions, the experimental values are related to macroscopic long time motions and are much smaller than the short time values calculated from MD. Thus, the present study provides a detailed insight in the microscopic dynamics of ions related to the structure of the clay: it is shown that Cs+ diffuse faster than Na+ and that the arrangeme.
Performance of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) varieties to different spacings on growth, yield characters and yield under mechanization

The field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, Pune, Maharashtra during kharif 2018 to study the performance of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) varieties to different spacings under mechanized conditions. Five spacings S1- 45 x 5 cm2, S2- 45 x 10 cm2, S3- 60 x 5 cm2 and S4- 60 x 10 cm2. (Under mechanized condition) and S5- 45 x 5 cm2 (under conventional condition) and three varieties V1: KDS-344 (Phule Agrani), V2- KDS-726 (Phule Sangam), V3- KDS-753 (Phule Kimaya) were tested in split plot design with three replication. The growth characters viz., plant height (cm), plant height (cm), number of branches plant-1, number of functional leaves plant-1, leaf area plant-1 (dm2), number of root nodules plant-1, fresh and dry weight of root nodules plant-1 (g), days to 50 % flowering and days to maturity and dry matter plant-1 and yield attributes viz., number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1, weight of pods plant-1 (g), seed yield plant-1 (g), straw yield plant-1 (g) and test weight (g) were significantly influenced at spacing 60 x 10 cm2 under mechanized condition. Among the varieties KDS-344 gave significantly superior in all growth and yield attributing characters except test weight (g). The test weight (g) was significantly highest value by variety KDS-726 (Phule Sangam).
The Effect of Leisure Meaning on Work Engagement: Teacher Example

This study aimed to investigate the effects of leisure meanings on work engagement of teachers from different branches. The study sample consisted of 514 teachers working in public schools in Istanbul. The survey method was used for the research, and the survey consisted of three sections: demographic information form, the Meaning of Leisure Scale (MLS), and Work Engagement Scale (WES). The data were analyzed with SPSS statistics package program, and frequency, independent samples t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and regression analysis were performed. The study results suggested a significant and positive correlation between the meaning of leisure and work engagement.
Segmental Mobility in Phosphorus-Containing Dendrimers. Studies by Fluorescent Spectroscopy

Steady-state fluorescence spectra and decays of excitations of a phosphorus-containing dendrimer labeled with 12 internal labels and of an iminophosphorane model compound bearing two labels dissolved in acetonitrile, diglyme, 1,4-dioxane, triethylene glycol, and cyclohexanol revealed that the interior of dendrimers contained many solvent molecules, and movements of internally located pyrene labels were not reduced by interactions with the dendrimer core. This conclusion was based on the following findings. A ratio of the intensities of pyrene−pyrene excimer and pyrene monomer emissions (IE/IM) decreased with increasing solvent viscosity but, with exception of acetonitrile solutions, was very close for the dendrimers and for the model. Monomer and excimer emission intensity decays were fitted with two-exponential functions with time constants τ1 and τ2 characterizing formation of pyrene−pyrene excimers and recovery of pyrene moieties in their ground state, respectively. For solvent viscosities varying from.
HUMIC-FULVIC ACID RATIO, Al, Fe AND C IN PYROPHOSPHATE EXTRACTS AS CRITERIA OF A AND B HORIZONS

The ratio of carbon in humic to carbon in fulvic acid (Ch/Cf) in 0.1 M pyrophosphate extracts of soils was useful in differentiating certain A horizons from the associated B horizons. A Ch/Cf ratio of less than 50% was characteristic of Bf and Bh horizons, and the ratio was greater than 50% for nearly all of the A horizons. The ratio varied widely for Bm horizons and for the two Bg horizons tested.The ratio of carbon extracted by pyrophosphate to total carbon (C ext/C) was greater than 50% for the B horizons of acid Brunisolic soils and Podzols, and less than 50% for the A horizons. The ratio of carbon in fulvic acid to total carbon (Cf/C) was greater than 30% for the B and less than 30% for the A horizons of the same soils. Neither percentage extractable carbon nor Cf/C clearly differentiated between Bm and Ah horizons.Ratios of Al + Fe to fulvic acid in the extracts of the B horizons were as high as or higher than those of some insoluble synthetic complexes.
Understanding Mechanisms Driving Family Homeless Shelter Use and Child Mental Health

Abstract Homeless shelters throughout the U.S. are overcrowded and under-resourced. Families with children face substantial barriers to timely, successful shelter exit, and prolonged shelter stays threaten child mental health. This community-based system dynamics study explored barriers to timely, successful shelter exit and feedback mechanisms driving length of stay and child mental health risk. Group model building – a participatory systems science tool – and key informant interviews were conducted with clients (N = 37) and staff (N = 6) in three family homeless shelters in a Midwestern region. Qualitative content analysis with emergent coding identified key themes feedback loops. Findings indicated overcrowding delayed successful shelter exit; longer stays exacerbated crowding and stress in a vicious cycle. Furthermore, longer stays exacerbated child risk for mental disorder both directly and indirectly via crowding and caregiver stress. Capacity constraints limited families served, while contributing to ongoing unmet need. Future research should investigate the roles of these dynamic feedback relationships in the persistent vulnerability of homeless families. Service design should prioritize interventions that alleviate crowding and subsequent threats to mental health such as private or scattered-site shelter accommodations, affordable child care, and homelessness prevention to facilitate successful shelter exit and mitigate child mental health risk.
Citation Count Prediction Based on Neural Hawkes Model

SUMMARY With the rapid development of scientiﬁc research, the number of publications, such as scientiﬁc papers and patents, has grown rapidly. It becomes increasingly important to identify those with high quality and great impact from such a large volume of publications. Citation count is one of the well-known indicators of the future impact of the publications. However, how to interpret a large number of uncertain factors of publications as relevant features and utilize them to capture the impact of publications over time is still a challenging problem. This paper presents an approach that e ﬀ ectively leverages a variety of factors with a neural-based citation prediction model. Speciﬁcally, the proposed model is based on the Neural Hawkes Process (NHP) with the continuous-time Long Short-Term Memory (cLSTM), which can capture the aging e ﬀ ect and the phenomenon of sleeping beauty more e ﬀ ectively from publication covariates as well as citation counts. The experimental results on two datasets show that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines. In addition, the contribution of covariates to performance improvement is also veriﬁed.

Comparative Studies on Corrosion Protection Properties of Polyimide-Silica and Polyimide-Clay Composite Materials

Comparative studies on corrosion protec- tion properties of polyimide-silica-clay composites were studied in this article. A series of polyimide-silica (PIS), polyimide-clay (PIC), and polyimide-silica-clay composites (PISC) materials, consisting of an organo-soluble polyi- mide (ODA-BSAA) matrix, inorganic silica particles pre- pared through the sol-gel reaction of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and dispersed nanolayers of inorganic montmorillonite clay, were successfully prepared by solu- tion dispersion technique. Then, all samples were charac- terized by FTIR, powder X-ray diffraction patterns, transmission electron microscopy, and 29 Si solid-state NMR. The main focus of this article is the comparison of the corrosion protection properties of PIS, PIC, and PISC composite materials. Normally, the aspect ratio of clay is higher than silica. Superior dispersion of clay platelets into a polymer matrix may effectively increase the length of diffusion pathways for oxygen and water. The effects of the materials composition on the corrosion protection per- formance, gas barrier, and optical properties, in the form of both coating and film, were also studied by electro- chemical corrosion measurements (e.g., corrosion potential, polarization resistance, corrosion current, and impedance spectroscopy), gas permeability analysis, and UV-visible transmission spectroscopy.

A QUÍMICA MEDICINAL DE N-ACILIDRAZONAS: NOVOS COMPOSTOS-PROTÓTIPOS DE FÁRMACOS ANALGÉSICOS, ANTIINFLAMATÓRIOS E ANTI-TROMBÓTICOS

In this article are described new bioactive N-acylhydrazone (NAH) derivatives, structurally designed as optimization of aryl hydrazones precursors planned by molecular hybridization of two 5-lipoxigenase inhibitors, e.g. CBS-1108 and BW-755c. The analgesic, antiedematogenic and anti-platelet aggregating profile of several isosteric compounds was investigated by using classic pharmacological assays in vivo and ex-vivo, allowing to identify new potent peripheric analgesic lead, a new anti-inflammatory and an antithrombotic agent. During this study was discovered dozen of active NAH compounds clarifying the structure-activity relationship for this series of NAH derivatives, indicating the pharmacophore character of the N-acylhydrazone functionality.
Soil stabilization by polymeric materials

Sandy, silty, loamy, clayey, and sandy-loamy soils were impregnated with three types of binding materials, namely, urea formaldehyde, phenol formaldehyde, and sodium silicate. Ammonium chloride, hexamethylene tetramine, and sodium fluorosilicate were used as catalysts for the previously mentioned substances, respectively. Some physico-mechanical tests were carried out with the stabilized soils and different parameters affecting the strength, absorption and durability of stabilized soils were studied. Sandige, schlammige, lehmige, tonige und sandig-lehminge Erden wurden mit derei Arten von Bindemitteln impragniert, namlich mit Harnstoff-Formaldehyd, Phenol-Formaldehyd und Natriumsilicat. Ammoniumchlorid, Hexamethylentetramin und Natriumfluorsilicat wurden hierbei als Katalysatoren benutzt. Einige physikalisch-mechanische Tests wurden mit den stabilisierten Erden ausgefuhrt und verschiedene Parameter, die die Starke, die Absorption und die Haltbarkeit der stabilisierten Erden beeinflussen, wurden untersucht.
Rising trends of caesarean section in modern obstetrics: analysis by Robson classification

Caesarean section (CS) is one of the most common surgery performed in modern obstetrics. In 1985, WHO recommended the ideal CS rate should be between 1015%. CS rates have continued to increase worldwide both in developed and developing countries. The rising trends of CS in modern obstetrics is a major public health concern all over the world. Hence, there is a need for internationally accepted classification system to reduce the CS rates. Among the classification systems available, Robson TGCS has been widely used in various countries. Robson TGCS was proposed by Dr. Michael Robson in 2001 which consists of 10 patient categories based on 5 obstetric characteristics (Parity, gestational age, onset of labour, fetal presentation and number of foetuses).
Tensions Between What Principals Know and Do: The Role of Labor Market Conditions on Teacher Recruitment and Hiring

ABSTRACT Teacher hiring is a critical lever for improving school outcomes. However, the availability of supply is a significant barrier that affects principals’ processes for teacher staffing. Drawing on sensemaking theory and concepts of fit, this study investigates how principals make sense of recruitment and hiring in a local labor market with severe teacher shortages. Findings illustrate labor market conditions constrained principals’ attempts to hire strategically and shaped new practices and hiring behaviors. By presenting a conceptualization of these hiring arrangements – strategic, creative, and transactional hiring – this study reveals the micro-negotiations principals make when recruiting and hiring in teacher shortage environments.
Validity and Reliability of I-BT (Islamic Brief Therapy) Module to Handle Students’ Aggressive Behavior

This module was developed based on the findings from the needs analysis phase and content analysis phase. Based on the needs analysis findings, the level of aggressive behaviour among Islamic secondary school students (n = 200) was at a moderate level. This study aimed to measure the validity of content of the entire module by experts and to study the overall reliability of the module. This module comprises of three units and seven strategies based on the Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) theory and is integrated with Abdullah Nasih Ulwan's approach to address students' aggressive behaviour. To measure the validity of the content, the certification method of 15 experts was involved in the design of the module and 10 experts were involved in the module development. For that purpose, a pilot study was conducted and questionnaires were distributed to 16 registered counselors as respondents in this study. The results showed that this module had a high content validity index value of over 85% and Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of Islamic Brief Therapy Module was high which was at . 99 as measured by Rasch Measurement Model using Winstep software version 3.68. 2. In conclusion, the Islamic Brief Therapy Module is a new contribution to Malaysia’s guidance and counseling practitioners and is suitable for use in the local context. The findings from the analysis have statistically proven that these items have a high degree of validity, reliability and should be used by counselors in Malaysia.
A history of lesbian politics and the psy professions

This article explores the relationship between lesbian activists and the “psy professions” (especially psychology and psychiatry) in England from the 1960s to the 1980s. We draw on UK-based LGBTQIA+ archive sources and specifically magazines produced by, and for, lesbians. We use this material to identify three key strategies used within the lesbian movement to contest psycho-pathologisation during this 30-year period: from respectable collaborationist forms of activism during the 1960s; to more liberationist oppositional politics during the early 1970s; to radical feminist separatist activism in the 1980s. Whilst these strategies broadly map onto activist strategies deployed within the wider lesbian and gay movement during this time, this article explores how these politics manifested in particular ways, specifically in relation to the psy disciplines in the UK. We describe these strategies, illustrating them with examples of activism from the archives. We then use this history to problematise a linear, overly reductionist or binary history of liberation from psycho-pathologisation. Finally, we explore some complexities in the relationship between sexuality, activism and the psy professions.
Traffic accident hotspot identification by integrating kernel density estimation and spatial autocorrelation analysis: a case study

Abstract The study presented an approach that integrated kernel density estimation (KDE) algorithm and spatial autocorrelation analysis, which helped to determine traffic accident (TA) hotspot locations and simultaneously evaluate the statistical significance of the hotspot clusters. Firstly, hotspots were identified by applying a GIS-based KDE algorithm. Secondly, the hotspot clusters were evaluated in terms of statistical significance by applying the Moran’s I statistic indices. Finally, hotspots were arranged according to their significance. TA data in the (2015–2017) period in Hanoi, Vietnam were applied to test this approach. Importantly, the study proposed a validation process for the results by applying the Gi* statistics method to validate the (H-H) clusters and the EPDO method to validate the ranking of hotspots. The results showed that this integration overcame the drawbacks of the KDE method. The statistical test process of clusters helped to hinder the occurrence of too many clusters that were determined by the KDE method because they were not really dangerous. This approach was helpful and precise in identifying TA hotspots with the statistical meaning. These outcomes will not only enable traffic authorities to comprehensively understand the reasons for each accident but also to help them manage and deal with hazardous areas according to the prior order in case of limited expenses and allocate traffic safety sources accordingly.
Clean milk production practices and its impact on the prevention and control of mastitis in Tiruchirapalli district of Tamil Nadu

© Abstract: Mastitis is one of the major infectious diseases affecting dairy cows and causing economic loss. Majority of the rural dairy farmers are not aware of preventing mastitis through management practices. Lack of adoption of clean milk production practices is the major reason for mastitis. So the focus of study was imparting knowledge on clean milk production practices to dairy farmers from selected villages in Tiruchirapalli district along with management of mastitis in dairy animals through capacity building programme. After the adoption of clean milk production practices, there was remarkable reduction in the incidence of mastitis from 19.33 per cent to 2.4 per cent. The keeping quality of milk was also improved by enhancement in methylene blue dye reduction time (MBRT). This was an indirect indication of improved microbial quality of raw milk. The subclinical mastitis was monitored with somatic cell count (SCC) and the quarters of udder health by California mastitis test (CMT) respectively. The mastitic animal was treated effectively with suitable antibiotic by conducting antibiotic sensitivity test (ABST) and thereby protected the dairy farmers from huge economic
Opportunity for Early Warnings of Typhoon Lekima from Two Global Ensemble Model Forecasts of Formation with 7-Day Intensities along Medium-Range Tracks

Typhoon Lekima (2019) with its heavy rains and floods is an excellent example of the need to provide the earliest possible warnings of the formation, intensification, and subsequent track before a typhoon makes landfall along a densely populated coast. To demonstrate an opportunity to provide early (10 days in advance) warnings of the threat of Typhoon Lekima, the ensemble models from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and the National Centers for Environmental Predictions have been used to provide time-to-formation timing and positions along the weighted-mean vector motion track forecasts. In addition, the seven-day intensity forecasts after the formation using a weighted analog intensity prediction technique are provided. A detailed description of one European Center ensemble forecast is provided to describe the methodology for estimating the formation time and generating the intensity forecasts. Validation summary tables of the formation timing and position errors, and the intensity errors versus the Joint Typhoon Warning Center intensities, are presented. The availability of these ensemble forecasts would have been an opportunity to issue alerts/watches/warnings of Lekima even seven days in advance of when Lekima became a Tropical Storm. These ensemble forecasts also represent an opportunity to extend support on the 5–15 day timescale for the decision-making processes of water resource management and hydrological operations.
Gebelerin Mevsimsel İnfluenza Aşısı ile İlgili Bilgi, Tutum ve Davranışları

Aim : In pregnancy, influenza infection is associated with higher morbidity/mortality and an increase in maternal, fetal, and neonatal risks. Vaccination is the most effective strategy in the prevention of influenza. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the seasonal influenza vaccination-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of a group of pregnant women. Materials and Methods : The study was a cross-sectional survey study and included adult pregnant women in the first, second, and third trimesters who visited our outpatient obstetric clinic between January and July 2019. Based on the literature review performed, a 17-item questionnaire was prepared by the researchers, which was then administered by face-to-face interview. The questionnaire inquired about the participants’ obstetric, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, history of influenza vaccination during pregnancy, and knowledge, attitudes and behaviors in the context of influenza vaccination during pregnancy. Results : The study included a total of 227 pregnant women. Those who thought that influenza vaccines were safe during pregnancy were mostly university graduates. Only 19 (8.3%) reported having an influenza vaccination while they were pregnant. When the participants’ reasons for not being vaccinated were inquired, the main (71%) reason was “concern about the vaccine’s adverse effects on babies”, followed by “the vaccine being unnecessary and not adequately tested in pregnant women” (8.3%). Most (80%) of the participants who had an influenza vaccination during pregnancy received the information that they should be vaccinated from their family doctors. Discussion and Conclusion: We found that our participants’ knowledge about the influenza vaccine was generally insufficient, and that influenza vaccination was not adequately promoted by health-care workers, particularly physicians. Recommendations by family doctors, gynecologists, and obstetricians for influenza vaccination during routine follow-up visits play a central role in the information of pregnant women as a high-risk group.
