The Mencué Batholith: Permian episodic arc-related magmatism in the western North Patagonian Massif, Argentina

ABSTRACT The Mencué Batholith, western North Patagonian Massif, includes three major bodies. The Mencué Granodiorite, Cura Lauquén Granite and La Blancura Syenogranite. There are dikes of granitic and basaltic rocks cutting the above-cited rocks. The Mencué Batholith represents several episodes of magmatism, with ages varying between 294 and 239 Ma. The Mencué Granodiorite and the Cura Lauquén Granite are solid-state deformed and are S-type. They have high-K and normal calc-alkaline affinities. These rocks contain significant quantities of subduction-zone chemical components that decrease towards younger lithofacies. La Blancura Syenogranite lack subduction zone chemical components and represent A-type granite, typical of within-plate magmatism. The partial melting of metapelites could be the process of formation of these bodies. The older lithofacies of the Mencué Batholith, found westernmost, display a stronger deformation, but there is a progressive eastward change to younger and mildly deformed bodies and even non-deformed bodies. We conclude that the evolution of the Mencué Batholith start in the Sakmarian-Roadian (Early Permian) period. At this time, a subduction zone was active to the west and its thermal influence affected sedimentary or metamorphic rocks producing S-type granites During the Wordian and Capitanian, (Middle Permian) periods, the Mencué Batholith was mildly deformed, possibly in the process of the vanishing of the deformation and has a minor subduction chemical signature. Between the Wuchiapingian and Olenekia periods, the alkaline facies of the Mencué Batholith show an absence of deformation and the characteristics of within-plate magmatism. The Early Permian magmatic events in the western North Patagonian Massif are represented by the older bodies of the Mencué Batholith and were produced by subduction in the western margin of the Gondwanan continent. The Late Permian-Early Triassic magmatic events show a noticeable decreasing influence of subduction and an increasing influence of within-plate chemical components. Graphical Abstract
DIFFERENT MODALITIES IN MANAGEMENT OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA

Background:Historically, the diagnosis of HCC was almost always made when the disease was advanced, when patients were symptomatic and presented with a variable degree of liver function impairment (1). Today, many patients are diagnosed at an early stage when liver function is preserved and there are no cancer related symptoms. In addition, there are several active treatments available that will potentially have a positive impact on survival. However, to achieve the best outcomes requires the careful selection of candidates for each treatment option and the expert application of these treatments(2). Methods:Thisprospectivestudy was conducted upon fifty patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated from March 2008 to May 2010 with exclusion of patients with extra-hepatic metastasis in Zagazig University hospitals, AL-Azhar University hospitals and International Medical Center (IMC). Our fifty patients were divided into two groups: Group A (Surgical Management) (30 patients 60%), Subdivided into (Subgroup 1)where Hepatic Resection was done in 15 patients (30%) and (Subgroup 2)whereLiving Donor Liver Transplantation was done in 15 patients (30%). and Group B (Non Surgical Management) (20 patients 40%), Subdivided into (Subgroup 3)where Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) was done in 10 patients (20%) and (Subgroup 4)whereTrans-Arterial Chemo- Embolization (TACE) was done in 10 patients (20%). Results:Regarding Liver Resection; Right hepatectomy was done for 9 patients (60%) left hepatectomy for 2 patients (13.3%), atypical (localized) resection for 4 patients (26.6%). Regarding LDLT Right lobe graft was done in all 15 patients. The mean time stay in ICU was 7.4 (5-10 days). The hospitalization stay period was 20.7 (17-30 days). Regarding RFAof the 10 treated patients, 20 HCC nodules were treated in 20 sessions. 2 patients were with a single session and 8 patients with two sessions. Regarding TACESeventeen sessions were done for these ten patients. 2 sessions were done in the hepatic artery proper for patients suffering from bilateral hepatic lesions, 10 sessions in the right hepatic artery and 5 sessions in the left hepatic artery for right sided & left sided hepatic tumors respectively. Seven patients had taken two sessions. While three patients received only one session. Conclusion: Liver Resection still plays a key role in the treatment of patients with HCC and a good functional hepatic reserve, after accurate selection on the basis of strict criteria. Liver Transplantation is the only treatment left for many patients with end-stage liver disease which fulfill Milan Criteria.
Playing to the crowd: The audience’s role in team-operated media

Sports leagues and teams have entered the media industry, producing news content about themselves for broad consumption. The content producers behind these stories still largely position themselves as journalists, despite their lack of independence. They do so by engaging in boundary work, a process in which professional authority is won by enlisting other stakeholders in recognizing an occupational group’s jurisdiction over a societal task. While much of the debate over in-house reporting focuses on acceptance within the journalistic community, readers are also an important and underexplored stakeholder. This textual analysis of reader response to in-house coverage of athlete protest suggests that fans may respond to this content in ways that contest the commercial mission of a team website. As such, readers may be drawing their own boundaries in a media system with in-house content producers, and scholars should explore these questions.

Preservice Teachers’ Noticing of Instances for Revision during Rehearsals: A Comparison across Three University Contexts

ABSTRACT This study investigated how practice-based science methods courses, at three different institutions, provided opportunities for preservice teachers (PSTs) to develop new ways of enacting and noticing ambitious teaching through analyzing rehearsal lessons. We examined 194 written rehearsal reflections for similarities and differences in the types of evidence the PSTs attended to, how they reasoned about what they noticed, and their revision ideas for improving their instruction. The findings suggest the PSTs at the three institutions (a) attended to aspects of their teacher practice and student actions as evidence to decide how to adapt their teaching; (b) used improvement to learning as a key reason to modify the instruction; and (c) focused on ways to revise how they scaffolded science practices for students and supported student sensemaking of core ideas. These findings offer insights into the unique affordances of rehearsal-based reflections in providing opportunities for PSTs to notice and analyze critical features of science teaching.
Altimetry Quality of SRTM and ASTER GDEM Products for Areas with Different Reliefs

Hydroelectric power plants cause impacts that are usually estimated by an indicator, the hydroelectric power generation per hectare of flooded area. And, although entrepreneurs use quality-declared cartographic bases to comply with the standards, at the project stages of a hydroelectric plant it is not a priori determined whether the altimetry tolerance of such bases is sufficient to ensure that the impacts will not increase, which in the project consolidation becomes a huge problem. This work aims to define the altimetry quality of SRTM Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and ASTER GDEM and whether they are a priori sufficient to simulate the flood level of hydroelectric power plants in different reliefs. To accomplish this objective, a morphological method of assessment of the DEM quality was developed, through Geographic Information Systems (GIS), so that the altimetry information generated by the models and field surveys, when compared, would show their actual differences also in relation to their areas. To this end, two study areas were used: one with a slightly undulated relief and the other with undulated relief. To validate the models, quality assessments were carried out: based on points, according to the Brazilian Map Accuracy Standard (MAS) and STANAG 2215; and based on surfaces, according to Article 500 of the Brazilian Civil Code and the morphological method. At the end, practical applications relating to the M&P indicator and hydroelectric power plants projects were also carried out. The results presented demonstrate that the quality of an SRTM DEM when used in undulating or gently undulating reliefs can be used up to 1:80,000 scale. Already for DEM ASTER under the same conditions, it is possible to use on the scale 1:100,000. In DEM SRTM and DEM ASTER, after removing the systematic error (−7.3 m) and (−6.2 m), respectively, the quality between 65% and 79% is verified for DEM SRTM and 53%, and 68% for DEM ASTER for common areas in flood level simulation.
Decarbonization of the Iron and Steel Industry with Direct Reduction of Iron Ore with Green Hydrogen

Production of iron and steel releases seven percent of the global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Incremental changes in present primary steel production technologies would not be sufficient to meet the emission reduction targets. Replacing coke, used in the blast furnaces as a reducing agent, with hydrogen produced from water electrolysis has the potential to reduce emissions from iron and steel production substantially. Mass and energy flow model based on an open-source software (Python) has been developed in this work to explore the feasibility of using hydrogen direct reduction of iron ore (HDRI) coupled with electric arc furnace (EAF) for carbon-free steel production. Modeling results show that HDRI-EAF technology could reduce specific emissions from steel production in the EU by more than 35 % , at present grid emission levels (295 kgCO2/MWh). The energy consumption for 1 ton of liquid steel (tls) production through the HDRI-EAF route was found to be 3.72 MWh, which is slightly more than the 3.48 MWh required for steel production through the blast furnace (BF) basic oxygen furnace route (BOF). Pellet making and steel finishing processes have not been considered. Sensitivity analysis revealed that electrolyzer efficiency is the most important factor affecting the system energy consumption, while the grid emission factor is strongly correlated with the overall system emissions.
Solar House System Adoption among Rural Community

West Bandung Regency experiences inequality in access to electricity due to difficulties in the distribution process. One possible solution to overcome this problem is to utilize solar energy. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine importance of Solar House to be done with the intention of identifying the factors that influence the adoption of SHS technology among the public. This study used a modified TAM model consisting of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social factors, and resource factors. The method of data collection is through the distribution of questionnaires to 185 respondents in rural areas of West Bandung Regency. Furthermore, Partial Least Square Modeling is used as an analytical method to test hypotheses. The results reveal that social factors are the most important determinant for the adoption of SHS. From a theoretical perspective, this study broadens our understanding of the adoption of SHS technology customers in rural areas. Furthermore, from managerial applications, this research suggests a social marketing strategy that can be carried out by solar panel entrepreneurs and the government to encourage rural communities to adopt SHS technology by expanding their existing knowledge.
Current climate overrides historical effects on species richness and range size of freshwater plants in Europe and North America

The latitudinal diversity gradient hypothesis suggests that species richness should be highest at low latitudes, whereas Rapoport's rule states that largest ranges ought to be found for species at high latitudes. However, there is no consensus over these patterns and their underlying drivers in the freshwater realm. We investigated species richness and mean range size of freshwater plants in 50 × 50 km grid cells across Europe (40°N–71°N) and North America (25°N–78°N), supplemented with data based on 1° latitudinal bands for mean range size. We were especially interested to find out whether there are similarities and differences in these ecogeographical patterns and their underlying drivers between the continents due to their contrasting historical characteristics, spatial extent and topography. First, we used partial regression to reveal whether species richness and mean range size of freshwater plants have a linear or quadratic relationship with latitude. Second, we employed variation partitioning based on partial regression to model relationships between plant species richness and mean range size and four explanatory variable groups (i.e. environmental features, current climate, historical climate and geographical location). Third, we utilized boosted regression tree analysis to further investigate species richness and mean range size of freshwater plants in relation to a set of explanatory variables. Our results revealed that species richness showed relatively similar patterns in relation to latitude between the continents. Similarly, mean range size trends were alike in North America whether we used 50 × 50 km grid cell data or 1° latitudinal bands. Instead, different patterns in mean range size emerged between the used datasets in Europe. For both species richness and mean range size, current climate (with different individual predictor variables) was the main driver in both the continents, but historical effects had a small influence on the response variables. Synthesis. Our findings indicated that major ecogeographical rules can strongly vary for the same taxonomic group across broad scales between continents. It is also premature to rely solely on well‐known terrestrial taxonomic groups when drawing generalizations about ecogeographical rules.
InP-on-Si DFB laser diode with distributed reflector for improved power efficiency

A heterogeneously integrated InP-on-Si DFB laser diode with an active distributed reflector is demonstrated. The goal is to improve the power efficiency of the laser, by reducing the threshold current, and obtaining similar 3-dB modulation bandwidth with similar optical output power levels to previously demonstrated lasers, at lower injected current values. The device was first fabricated as a standard single-section DFB laser, then electrically isolated in two sections with unequal lengths. The shorter section is pumped and acts as an active laser section, while the other section is not pumped and acts as an absorbing distributed reflector. The threshold current was reduced from 17 mA to 9 mA, and the bias current required to achieve similar 3-dB modulation bandwidth to previously demonstrated lasers was reduced from 100 mA to 45 mA. Transmission of a 28 Gbps NRZ-OOK signal for both a back-to-back configuration and over 2 km of NZ-DS fiber is demonstrated, with bit-error-rate below the hard-decision forward-error-correction threshold.
Fluid identity play: A case study of a bilingual child’s ethnic identity construction across multiple contexts

Informed by positioning theory as well as a nexus of multimembership, the year-long case study examined how a 7-year-old Korean American bilingual child, Meeso, constructed her ethnic identity across different educational contexts. Data were collected through observations of Meeso’s interactions with her monolingual and bilingual peers and teachers. Discourse analysis revealed that Meeso constructed fluid ethnic identity positionings depending upon how she desired to position herself and to be positioned by others. We also identified that the social context, language proficiency, and peer dynamics were related to the process. Based on the findings, we discuss the roles of context, language, and peer interaction for bilingual students’ ethnic identity development.
A study of the relationship between the components of spiritual health and happiness of students at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2016

Background: Spiritual health is regarded as one of the major dimensions of human health and an important approach in public health. On the other hand, happiness plays a vital role in mental and physical health and efficient social participation. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the components of spiritual well-being and happiness of students at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2016. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional and correlational study, the statistical population consisted of all students at the Midwifery, Paramedics, Health, and Nursing Schools at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2016. The sample size was determined through the Cochran's sample size formula, and 277 students were selected through the simple random sampling. Further, for data collection, the spiritual health scale by Paloutzian and Ellison and the Argyle's revised Oxford happiness questionnaire were utilized. Then, data were analyzed through the descriptive (percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson's correlation coefficient) in the SPSS Statistics Software version 21.0. Results: In the present study, the mean scores and standard deviations of students' spiritual health and happiness measured 3.95 ± 0.47 and 3.38 ± 0.24, respectively. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that there was a significant and positive relationship between the students' spiritual health and happiness. Further, the results of the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient revealed that the correlation coefficient between the students' spiritual health and happiness measured 0.51. Conclusions: The results revealed that the students' spiritual health and happiness at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences were average, and they significantly and positively correlated. Hence, it is recommended that the contents of spirituality, spiritual health, and their significance be incorporated in the core curriculums in universities.
A Numerical Investigation of Heat and Mass Transfer in Air-Cooled Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

A numerical analysis of an air-cooled proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has been conducted. The model utilizes the Eulerian multi-phase approach to predict the occurrence and transport of liquid water inside the cell. It is assumed that all the waste heat must be carried out of the fuel cell with the excess air which leads to a strong temperature increase of the air stream. The results suggest that the performance of these fuel cells is limited by membrane overheating which is ultimately caused by the limited heat transfer to the laminar air stream. A proposed remedy is the placement of a turbulence grid before such a fuel cell stack to enhance the heat transfer and increase the fuel cell performance.
Original article. Articulation disorders and patterns in children with a cleft

Abstract Background: Compensatory articulation disorders (CAD) are the most common speech defects in patients with a cleft. Early prevention programs are needed to avoid CAD. Objectives: To examine articulation disorders, patterns, and related speech outcomes in children with a cleft palate with or without lip defects. Methods: Articulation test record forms and clinical records of 42 children were accessed retrospectively to provide the data of speech outcomes related to cleft palate. Double data entries and incorrect completion type errors were corrected. Results: Prevalence of articulatory defects was 88% (functional articulation disorders, 12%; compensatory articulation disorders, 10%; functional articulation disorders and CAD, 67%), resonance disorder was 50%, and voice abnormalities was 19%. Abnormal backing of oral consonants, particularly glottal substitution was the most common pattern of CAD (40%), follow by velar substitution (36%), and nasal consonant for oral pressure consonant (21%). There was high incidence of functional articulation disorder in patients with a cleft (76%). Younger children (≤7 years old) had more articulation defects than older children (>7 years old) (mean difference = 3.308, P = 0.002, 95% confident interval 1.683-6.971). Levene’s test for equal variance found that resonance disorder seems unaffected by the number of articulation errors (mean difference = 0.253, P = 0.897, 95% confident interval -3.736-4.241). Conclusion: CAD, particularly abnormal backing of oral consonants and hypernasality were the most common speech defects in children with cleft. Refinement and revision of timing for referring for early speech intervention should be reconsidered.
