Influence of the Nature and Rate of Alkaline Activator on the Physicochemical Properties of Fly Ash-Based Geopolymers

The influence of alkali cations on mix design of geopolymers is essential for their mechanical, thermal, and electrical performance. This research investigated the influence of alkali cation type on microscale characteristics and mechanical, dielectric, and thermal properties of fly ash-based geopolymer matrices. The geopolymers were elaborated via class F fly ash from the thermal plant Jorf Lasfar, El Jadida (Morocco), and several alkaline solutions. Morphological, structural, mechanical, dielectric, and thermal characteristics of materials synthesized via fly ash with different proportions of KOH and NaOH aged 28 days were evaluated. The physicochemical properties of class F fly ash-based geopolymers were assessed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) analyses. Based on readings of the results obtained, XRD and FTIR analysis detected the creation of semicrystalline potassium/sodium aluminate-silicate hydrate (KASH/NASH) gel in the elaborated matrices after the geopolymerization reaction. The SEM analysis proved the formation of alkali alumina-silicate hydrate gel in the raw material particles after the polycondensation stage. Experimental compressive strength data indicated that the highest compressive strength (39 MPa) was produced by the alkaline activator (75% KOH/25% NaOH). The dielectric parameters values of the elaborated materials changed depending of the mass ratios KOH/NaOH. Dielectric findings demonstrated that geopolymers containing 100% NaOH have better dielectric performances. The fire resistance study revealed that the geopolymer binders induced by KOH are stable up to 600°C. Based on these results, it can be deduced that the formulated geopolymer concrete possesses good mechanical, dielectric, and fire resistance properties.
Antioxidant activity of the hydro-alcoholic extract of Erythrina fusca Lour. bark against the animal models of epilepsy.

ABSTRACT The objective of the present study was to evaluate the anti-oxidant activity of the hydroalcoholic extract of the bark of Erythrina fusca Lo ur (HAEEF) using different in vivo experimental models. Animals are used for the demon stration of an injury by exogenous agents of epileptic seizure on the brain with its p hysiological significance. Epileptic seizure challenged animals treated with HAEEF at doses of 2 50 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg showed antioxidant activity. Thus, it can be inferred that the hydro-alcoholic extract of Erythrina fusca Lour bark possess antioxidant effect against the animal models of epilepsy. The malondialdehyde levels were significantly increased in serum and brain tissue, the levels of SOD is significantly decreased in brain tissue and epileptic seizures caused a significant (P<0.01) depletion in reduced glutathione (GSH) lev el in the rat brain tissue with intoxication of epileptic seizures by MES, PTX and PTZ models of epilepsy. The effect of HAEEF on oxidative stress in MES, PTX and PTZ model s of epileptic seizures was evaluated and there was a simultaneous significant decrease i n the SOD and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels. The decrease in MDA levels and increa se in SOD and GSH levels in HAEEFtreated epileptic models may be due to its antioxid ant property.
Labels for a Local Food Speciality Product: The Case of Saffron

We examine the potential demand for a local food speciality product, saffron, with alternative labels, using a choice experiment. The paper contributes to the literature on credence attributes, by examining Willingness to Pay (WTP) for the local, organic and PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), their differences across experimental conditions (hypothetical and non‐hypothetical), and by identifying the effects of personal characteristics, in terms of socio‐demographics and level of product involvement on the differences in WTP. We find that the local saffron speciality has an important appeal that could be better reinforced with the PDO rather than the organic labelling, and that consumers show a consistent pattern of preferences across experimental environments. WTP tends to be higher in the hypothetical setting and, in particular, consumers with relatively more knowledge and deeper roots in the territory tend to exhibit a larger WTP premium for local origin and its certification. These results may help producers improve their marketing of agri‐food products with a high gastronomic value and differentiation potential, while they warn about an overstatement of WTP for socially desirable characteristics, such as organic labelling, which is also relevant for policymakers.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of internal fascicles of human peripheral nerve

Three-dimensional reconstruction of nerve fascicle is important in the analysis of biological characteristics in the arm. The topology of fascicle has been used by doctors to investigate the nerve direction and the relationship between the individual nerve fascicle. However, there still does not exist an ideal internal fascicle and 3D model in the human peripheral nerve. Accurate segmentation of fascicle from CT images is a crucial step to obtain reliable 3D nerve fascicle model. Traditional method in the fascicle segmentation is not efficient due to time consuming, manual work and poor generalization capacity. In this study, we proposed an efficient deep segmentation network and then reconstruct 3D nerve fascicle model. The proposed network explores the intra-slice contextual features with convolutional long short-term memory for accurate fascicle segmentation, and model long-range semantic information among image slices. Transfer learning technique is integrated with ResNet34, and the discriminative capability of intermediate features are further improved. The proposed network architecture is efficient, flexible and suitable for separating the adhesive fascicle. Our approach is the first deep learning method for nerves segmentation. The proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on our dataset, where the mean Dice of our method is 95.4% and at least 5% more than other methods.
Dissipation pattern of Emamectin benzoate in/on brinjal fruits

A supervised field trial was conducted to study the dissipation of emamectin benzoate at Naraseepuram village, Thondamuthur, Coimbatore, on the brinjal variety CO 2, during January – March, 2018. The samples were collected up to 15 days after pesticide application along with control and processed by modified QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) method. The final estimation of residues was carried out on Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) with diode array detector. The mean initial deposit after two spraying of emamectin benzoate @ 10 g a.i ha-1 and 20 g a.i ha-1 in/on brinjal fruit were 0.359 and 0.550 μg g-1, respectively. More than 80 per cent of emamectin benzoate residues got dissipated on 3 days after treatment. The residues persisted up to 3 and 5 days after treatment and further dissipated to Below Detectable Limit (BDL < 0.05 μg g-1) on 5 and 7 days after treatment at @ 10 g a.i ha-1 and 20 g a.i ha-1, respectively. Dissipation of emamectin benzoate followed first order reaction kinetics and the calculated half life was 1.53 and 1.57 days, respectively for 10 g a.i ha-1 and 20 g a.i ha-1.
Does Reputation Work? Evidence from Investors’ Perception on Earnings

This study investigates the effect of CEO reputation, as proxied by high-profile awards to CEOs, on investors’ predictability of earnings. Existing literature has documented that the actions of business stakeholders are affected by reputation concerns. We provide two competing theories of the CEO reputation effect on financial reporting quality: the alignment effect and the entrenchment effect. Using the approach of earnings-return association, we find evidence that, after superstar CEOs receive the high profile award, current stock returns incorporate future earnings information much more weakly than prior to the award. The results suggest that, consistent with the entrenchment effect, the reputation induces CEOs to produce lower quality financial reporting in order to avoid any repercussions from missing capital market expectations.

PrELIMINArY STUDY TO ExPLOrE THE CAPTUrE POTENTIAL OF ENDEMIC LArVAL FISH IN THE MArqUESAN ISLANDS ( FrENCH POLYNESIA )

– This preliminary study explored the capture potential of the Marquesan Islands for fish larvae, especially endemic species, with the set up of light traps on either offshore site or coastal site between January and March 2012. Among the 323 fish larvae belonging to 29 captured species, 151 fish larvae belonging to five species were endemic. Light traps captured more endemic larvae in coastal site than in offshore sites. Overall, this study allows to better understand larval supply of endemic fish species in an isolated region such as the Marquesan Islands. LArVAL FISH MArqUESAN ISLANDS ENDEMIC SPECIES rECrUITMENT 42 J. C. GOrDON, M. TAqUET, D. LECCHINI Vie Milieu, 2015, 65 (1) was glued onto the PVC in a spiral manner to ensure 360° light radiance. Two rechargeable sealed Yuasa lead-acid 12V, 2.1Ah batteries (soldered together and taped securely) were used to power the light source and, when fully charged, had sufficient power to illuminate the light source for up to 48 hours. Night diving showed that the light had an illumination area of up to 10 m (horizontal distance) and 4 m (vertical distance: 2 m above and below the light trap) during a clear night with clear visibility. For the offshore study (January 31 to February 24, 2012), light traps were set around FADs (Fish Aggregating Devices) on six different sites in Marquesas Archipelago (Fig. 1). The FADs (anchored between 85-1370 m depth) were set up before the oceanographic campaign by the French Polynesia government. A total of three light traps, each separated by 25 m, were moored to the floating buoy of the FADs from 6PM to 6AM. For the coastal study (February 27 to March 8, 2012), three light traps, each separated by 25 m, were moored to a buoy (anchored at 4 m depth) in the bay of Taiohae at Nuku-Hiva Island (Fig. 1) from 6PM to 6AM. Light trap catches were sorted every sampling day and fishes were transferred to aquaria for identification of larvae to the lowest taxonomic level possible following the keys by Leis & Trnski (1989) and by Maamaatuaiahutapu et al. (2006). The spatial patterns of endemic and non-endemic larvae were studied at offshore and coastal sites with a two-way ANOVA (sites x endemic or not species). A log (x+1) transformation was applied to the larval abundance captured per day and per site in order to fit the assumptions of parametric statistical test.
IS/IT AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH UNIVERSITY PERFORMANCE IN THE TEACHING AREA: A RESOURCE AND CAPABILITY THEORY APPROACH.

The relationships among Information Systems and Technologies (IS/IT), and organizational performance has been commonly analyzed in the context of for-profit organizations. This research, which is part of a more extensive investigation, offers insights on such relations in the university domain. We approach our analysis from a Resource and Capability Theory perspective. In such context, focus on what we call “resources and capabilities associated to IS/IT” and their potential relations with organizational performance, which we view as composed of the functional performance in the teaching, research and institutional management areas. This paper, however, only presents our results in the teaching area.

A study on anti-arthritic activity of Ficus benghalensis bark extract

Alternative medicine for treatment of arthritis is getting more popular. Making medicinal plants provide relief of symptoms comparable to that obtained from allopathic medicines. The medicinal value of the chosen plant Ficus benghalensis bark has not been extensively worked out. Therefore, the present study was to investigate the phytochemical screening and anti-arthritic activity of Ficus benghalensis bark extract. The following conclusion observed from the study. The phytochemical screening Ficus benghalensis bark showed that the presence of saponins, terpenoids, flavonoids, Triterpenoids, polyphenol, coumarins and glycosides whereastannin, steroids, alkaloids and anthraquinone were absent in ethanol and aqueous extracts. Significant amount of terpenoids (28mg/gm) saponin (26mg/gm), flavonoids (97mg/gm) and phenol (110mg/gm) were presented. The ethanolic extract confirm the anti-arthritic activity through denaturation method. Overall, it can be concluded from the present study that Ficus benghalensis bark contains rich source of phytochemicals.
Screening and molecular identification of microbial strain Bacillus axarquiensis P6 from algal biomass for production and optimization of multiple enzymes of biotechnological interest

This study is a first of its own kind for isolation of multiple enzyme producers from biomass of Rhizoclonium sp. algae collected from different sites of Himachal Pradesh. One of the isolated 19 strains, the isolate P6 exhibited zones of hydrolysis for cellulase, xylanase and amylase activity indicating its potential for multiple enzyme production. Isolate identified based on their morphological and physicochemical characteristics and 16s rRNA sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that P6 was in close identity to Bacillus axarquiensis. Then different parameters for enhanced enzyme production were optimized using classical one factor at a time approach (OFAT). The effects of different media, medium pH, temperature, inoculum size and incubation period for multiple enzyme production were studied. The enzyme production was found maximum at pH 8.0 for cellulase and amylase while pH 5.0 for xylanase, temperature 30 C and incubation time 72 h by multiple enzyme producer Bacillus axarquiensis P6. Overall, the results of the present study demonstrate that the genus Bacillus axarquiensis P6 is a potential candidate for multiple enzyme production and can be used for various biotechnological purposes as hydrolysis of biomass for biofuel production.
Heterogeneous effects of automation: How are young workers affected by a changing labor market?

3CEDLAS, Universidad Nacional de La Plata and CONICET. guillermo.falcone@econo.unlp. edu.ar We study the effect of automation on labor market outcomes with a focus on young workers and the case of Chile. We develop an index of routine task content of each occupation and follow two approaches. First we study the effect of automation on labor markets at the local level. Then we focus on mobility across occupations. We find that young workers are more easily displaced by automation than older workers of similar characteristics. This effect is concentrated on young workers in the age group 18-22. Young workers in the age group 2329 do not suffer unemployment significantly, but instead their employment participation decreases in occupations with high routine task content, reflecting mobility towards more flexible occupations. Wages fall in occupations with high routine task content, indicating that there is a decrease in demand for workers performing these tasks.
Antimetabolic effect on Spodoptera litura due to acute feeding of Adenanthera pavonina proteinase inhibitor

Antimetabolic effect of purified proteinase inhibitor (F30-60) isolated from Adenanthera pavonina (ApPI F30-60) was evaluated on Spodoptera litura larva, by feeding five days old larva on the ApPI F3060contaminated diet at 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00% for acute period (5 days) and later fed with untreated diet. The parameters of growth and development of S. litura were closely monitored throughout its life period. The results indicated that the ApPI 1.0% had significant influence on the reduction of S. litura larval weight(41.58%) pupal and adult weight (38.42 and 44.42%, respectively), prolonged the larval and pupal developmental period by 7.2 days and 3.0 days, respectively reduced the adult life span by 4.5 days. Only 60 per cent of the treated larva were pupated, 30 per cent of them were malformed as pupal-adult intermediates. Hence only 30 per cent were emerged as adult but they did not lay eggs. Acute feeding of ApPI 1% significantly interfered in the growth and development of S. litura. Hence, it is concluded that purified A. pavonina proteinase inhibitor (ApPI) is a potential and promising inhibitor of both chymotrypsin and trypsin in S. litura, which can be effectively exploited as bio insecticidal tool against this notorious polyphagous pest on a range of field and horticultural crops.
The Epidemiology of Zika Virus in the World: A Comprehensive Review Study

Zika virus is an emerging public health threat. The large outbreak related to this infection was first reported in 2007 in Yap Island. This virus is associated with microcephaly, Guillain Barre syndrome and some of the presentations of Zika infection include fever, maculopapular rash, arthralgia, bilateral conjunctivas, headache, arthritis/arthralgia with edema of tiny joints of feet and hands, retro-orbital pain, myalgia, asthenia and vertigo. In most of the cases, the infection is asymptomatic and self-limited. One of the largest known outbreaks of the virus was reported in French Polynesia, south pacific in October 2013. At the beginning of 2016, more than 52 countries have had reported the active transmission of the Zika virus. In general, there are two transmission modes for the Zika infection: Vector-borne transmission and Non-vector-borne transmission. Some diagnostic tests for Zika infection are RT-PCR, ELISA, and PRNT. Up to now, there is no specific antiviral medicine for the treatment of Zika infection and also no vaccine is available for immunization. As far as we know, more than half of the world’s people live in areas where the Aedes mosquito lives. There is a probability occurrence of the Zika virus epidemic at any time and in any place without prior notice in today’s “global village”. Therefore, health systems in all the involved countries should implement better triage and early warning surveillance systems for morbid cases of Zika to prevent large epidemics and the spread of the virus among mosquitoes and finally to avoid its disastrous consequences.
IMAGE PRE-PROCESSING STRATEGIES FOR ENHANCING PHOTOGRAMMETRIC 3D RECONSTRUCTION OF UNDERWATER SHIPWRECK DATASETS

Abstract. Although underwater photogrammetry has become widely adopted, there are still significant unresolved issues that are worthy of attention. This article focuses on the 3D model generation of underwater shipwrecks and intends explicitly to address the problem of dealing with sub-optimal datasets. Even if the definition of best practices and standards to be adopted during the acquisition phase appears to be crucial, there is a massive amount of data gathered so far by professionals and the scientific community all over the world that cannot be ignored. The compelling idea is to attempt to achieve the best reconstruction results possible, even from sub-optimal or less-than-ideal image datasets. This work focuses on the investigation of different strategies and approaches for balancing the quality of the photogrammetric products, without neglecting their reliability concerning the surveyed object. The case study of this research is the Mandalay MHT, a 34 m long steel-hulled auxiliary schooner that sank in 1966 and now lies in the Biscayne National Park (Florida - USA). The dataset has been provided by the Submerged Resources Center (SRC) of the US National Park Service, in order to develop an experimental image enhancement method functional to the virtualization and visualization of the generated products, as a part of a sustainable, affordable, and reliable method of studying submerged artefacts and sites. The original images have been processed using different image enhancement approaches, and the outputs have been compared and analysed.
NETWORK UTILITY MAXIMIZATION IN AD HOC NETWORKS WITH DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION PATTERNS

– In this paper, we study joint end-to-end congestion control and medium access control in ad-hoc networks with fixed wireless channels as a utility maximization problem with constraints that arise from contention for channel access. We analyze the throughput of ad hoc networks with different network interaction models at communication level. Two types of network areas are being considered: square and rectangle. Our results show that full-mesh and small-world models have highest throughput, while star and scale-free models have lowest throughput. The effect of the network area depends on the network model but generally the square area gives slightly higher throughput.
