Cascading Fundamental Building Blocks With Frequency-Dependent Couplings in Microwave Filters

Frequency-dependent coupling (FDC) emerges as a new method to introduce the finite-position transmission zeros (TZs) in the synthesis and design of filtering networks. In this paper, several fundamental building blocks with FDCs are introduced and studied. The higher order filters with many TZs can be constructed by cascading these fundamental building blocks. As compared with the conventional coupled-resonator filters with only constant couplings, the inclusion of FDCs can potentially create more TZs with the same coupling topology. It is also shown that to realize the same TZs, a filter can be realized in a simplified structure with less cross-couplings by using FDCs. In this paper, one complete filter design procedure is illustrated, including the steps of the circuit model synthesis by the method introduced in this paper, physical dimensioning of the filter by the electromagnetic simulation and measurement of the fabricated filter. The measurement results are in very good agreement with the theoretical predictions, which validates the modular design strategy for filters with FDCs.
Afforestation with Norway spruce on a subalpine pasture alters carbon dynamics but only moderately affects soil carbon storage

There is a strong trend toward reforestation of abandoned grasslands in alpine regions which may impact the carbon balance of alpine ecosystems. Here, we studied the effects of afforestation with Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) on an extensively grazed subalpine pasture in Switzerland on soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and storage. Along a 120-year long chronosequence with spruce stands of 25, 30, 40, 45, and >120 years and adjacent pastures, we measured tree biomass, SOC stocks down to the bedrock, natural 13C abundances, and litter quality. To unravel controls on SOC cycling, we have monitored microclimatic conditions and quantified SOC decomposability under standardized conditions as well as soil respiration in situ. Stocks of SOC were only moderately affected by the afforestation: in the mineral soil, SOC stocks transiently decreased after tree establishment, reaching a minimum 40–45 years after afforestation (−25 %) and increased thereafter. Soils of the mature spruce forest stored the largest amount of SOC, 13 % more than the pasture soils, mainly due to the accumulation of an organic layer (23 t C ha−1). By comparison, C accumulated in the tree biomass exceeded the SOC pool by a factor of three in the old forest. In contrast to the small impact on C storage, afforestation strongly influenced the composition and quality of the soil organic matter (SOM). With increasing stand age, δ13C values of the SOM became consistently more positive, which can be interpreted as a gradual replacement of grass- by spruce-derived C. Fine roots of spruce were enriched in 13C, in lignin and had a higher C/N ratio in comparison to grass roots. As a consequence, SOM quality as indicated by the lower fraction of readily decomposable (labile) SOM and higher C:N ratios declined after the land-use change. Furthermore, spruce plantation induced a less favorable microclimate for microbial activity with the average soil temperature during the growing season being 5 °C lower in the spruce stands than in the pasture. In situ soil respiration was approximately 50 % lower after the land use conversion, which we primarily attribute to the colder conditions and the lower SOM quality, but also to drier soils (−25 %) and to a decreased fine root biomass (−40 %). In summary, afforestation on subalpine pastures only moderately affected SOC storage as compared to the large C sink in tree biomass. In contrast, SOC cycling rates strongly decreased as a result of a less favorable microclimate for decomposition of SOM, a lower C input by roots, and a lower litter quality.
Stone masonry buildings: Analysis of structural acoustic and energy performance within the seismic safety criteria

Abstract Natural stone masonry is a building technology largely used all over the world, since the dawn of humankind. At present day stone masonry buildings, beyond being naturally characterized by intrinsic building physics performances, allow to reconsider the use of natural stone masonry (together with new technological supports, components and materials), as a promising “new trend” for both newly developed buildings and renovation of existing buildings, in particular where it is a priority to retrieve the historical identity of the urban landscape. In this paper, energy performance and structural-acoustic properties of stone masonry buildings, in compliance with seismic safety criteria, are investigated and discussed on the basis of current technical standards and scientific literature. Related performances are evaluated by means of accurate calculation models. The results show that stone masonry buildings can offer often higher performance than those normally attributed to it.
Screening instruments for depression in primary care: a concise review for clinicians

Depression is prevalent across the life span worldwide. It is a common problem encountered in primary care settings. The World Health Organization recommends the integration of mental health into general health care in order to seal the existing gap between the number of patients who need mental health care and those who actually receive it. Addressing the burden of mental health problems in primary care settings has its limitations, particularly because of the time constraints in busy primary care clinics as well as the inadequate training of staff and physicians in mental health disorders. That is why reliable, brief, and easy to administer depression screening instruments are important in helping physicians identify patients at risk. The 2-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2) is a suitable primary screening tool for depression. If positive, other tools should be administered, such as the PHQ-9 in adults, the PHQ-9 or Geriatric Depression Scale-15 in older adults, or the Arroll's help question or the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in ante- or postpartum women. Patients with positive scores ought to be interviewed more thoroughly. Computerized depression screening instruments that are interfaced or integrated into electronic health records seem to be promising steps toward optimizing diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. The availability of adequate management and follow-up are ethical requirements for the utilization of any screening instrument for depression.

Gas permeation effect on the Two-Section Two-Zone Fluidized Bed Membrane Reactor (TS-TZFBMR) fluid dynamics: A CFD simulation study

Abstract Two-Fluid Model simulations were conducted using the commercial software Ansys CFX and Fluent to study the effect of the gas extraction on the fluid dynamic behavior of a membrane-assisted Two-Section Two-Zone Fluidized Bed Membrane Reactor (TS-TZFBMR). Simulated bubble properties and bed dynamics were analyzed and compared among different membrane reactor configurations, including reactor-wall (RWM) and immersed tubular (ITM) membranes, for their future use in catalytic reactions, e.g., alkane dehydrogenation or methane steam reforming. According to the solids hold-up distribution at different fluidization regimes and permeation fluxes, the ITM configuration is the most suitable to enhance the gas-particle contact and to favor the solids axial mixing for in-situ catalyst regeneration purposes. However, the RWM configuration provides a greater permeation area for selective gas removal and is preferred to enhance purification. It was found that relative permeation fluxes above 20% of the total feed gas have a significant impact on the fluid dynamic regime within the TS-TZFBMR, concerning the appearance of local defluidized regions, gas channeling and solids axial mixing.
The Strategies Dealing with Problems of Non-Equivalence at Word Level Found in The Translation of Stephenie Meyer’sNovel Entitled “Twilight”.

There are some problems of non-equivalence at word level which are faced by
translators who are doing translation. Experts in translation have proposed some
strategies to overcome the problems. Some strategies dealing with problems of
non-equivalence at word level by Mona Baker are used in the translation of
Twilight.
The purpose of the study is to identify and classify the strategies used by
the translator, dealing with the non-equivalence problems at word level which
occur in the translation of a novel by Stephenie Meyer entitled Twilight.
The data were collected from the chapter 15 of the novel and the
Indonesian translation which has the same title, Twilight. It is translated by Lily
Devita Sari. After the data is identified, it is analyzed and classified by referring to
the theory of Mona Baker of translation at word level.
From the analysis, it was found that there is one strategy—suggested by
Mona Baker—which is not applied in the translation, that is translation by
illustration. The translator also used another three strategies: they are translation
by a more specific word, translation by a more expressive word and translation by
addition. It is also found that some strategies are used so often and some others
are used very least. The result of the study shows that translation by a more
general word is used 14 times, translation by a more specific words is used 5
times, translation by a more neutral word is used 45 times, translation by a more
expressive word is used 9 times, translation by cultural substitution is used 6
times, translation by using a loan word or loan word plus explanation is used 6
times, translation by paraphrase using a related word is used 41 times, translation
by paraphrase using unrelated word is used 33 times, translation by omission is
used 15 times, and translation by addition is used 7 times.
Knowing the results, it can be concluded that almost all of the strategies
suggested by Mona Baker are used in the translation of Twilight. It is suggested
that translator has to know the strategies to overcome the problems of nonequivalence,
so the messages from the source language can be transferred
proportionally and appropriately into the target language. He or she also has to
know that one word may not carry only one meaning and adjust the word in the
target language with the context and culture in order to make the reader easier to
get the information from the text.
Research on Safety Monitoring and Numerical Calculation of Concrete Faced Rockfill Dam in Low-Latitude and High-Altitude Area

Concrete faced rockfill dam( CFRD) is one of the most competitive and prospective dam type that with great potential in dam engineering. Most were based on experience together analogy works to be carried out. In both low- latitude and plateau area,the theoretical research and engineering experience are deficient,it is can't content with the design and construction of the CFRD only by this way. It is imminent to set up a numerical calculation model which adapt to this area. Based on prototype monitoring data to calculate and analyze the CFRD of Li Di Ping which have been built in this area,calculate and analyze the existing numerical calculation model,use the Duncan E- B model and AutoBANK procedures to simulate the dam. The results show that analog values and measured values are basically consistent,the Duncan E- B model and AutoBANK procedures can be used to analyze the stress and deformation properties of the dam in this area. It will provide a reference for the design and construction of similar projects.
Tax evasion for market control: predatory economies in practice

Tax evasion is an economic justice issue in contemporary Croatia. Corporate tax evasion by massive conglomerates contributes to local financial volatility. Bad financial practices at the top of this chain result in economic precarity at its other end. AnthroTax conceptualizes the various local financial practices of tax evasion with a novel framing of ‘hostage barter’. It employs ethnographic field research methods to study how such practices play out between family winemakers in Istria, Croatia, and a massive agribusiness conglomerate with which they do business.  This interdisciplinary project combines classic anthropological concepts with business studies to show how contemporary predatory market exchanges are constructed and how tax evasion is enacted as an apparent ‘natural’ feature of everyday business. The researcher seeks to understand how the emerging economic system works, how hostage barter has become an inevitability of everyday business, how gender influences its practice, and what hostage barter can teach us about predatory economies in wider post-socialist Europe. AnthroTax will advance theory in critical tax studies by introducing a wholly new concept into the field and bring valuable insight to tax evasion processes that will contribute to both academia and government.  Placing an anthropologist at one of Europe’s best business schools, particularly for interdisciplinary, qualitative research, AnthroTax represents an unparalleled training-through-research opportunity for the scholar to advance her creative and innovative research potential. AnthroTax’s interdisciplinarity, methodological strengths, and integration into targeted CBS research groups will facilitate diversification of her competences via skills acquisition, advanced training, and mobility both internationally and intersectorally. It will enhance cooperation between networks and facilitate a transfer of knowledge not just institutionally, but outside academia to myriad relevant groups.

Large cutaneous horn in a young African-American female

Introduction: Presented is a case of a young, African-American female with a large cutaneous horn. cutaneous horns are fascinating clinical diagnoses and can be physically striking; however clinicians must not be distracted by the outward appearance of these horns. the base of these horns can harbor a malignant histopathological diagnosis and thus special care must be taken to not only excise the horns, but to obtain clear margins while doing so. While there are general risk factors for the malignant potential of these horns, as reported in other cases, there are no consistent predictors to determine which horns will be malignant. therefore, all horns must be presumed malignant until a pathological diagnosis proves otherwise.
U-series dating of hominin fossil-bearing Panlong Cave in Guangdong Province, southern China

Two hominin teeth and an abundance of faunal remains were recovered from Panlong Cave in Guangdong Province, southern China in 1987. The site has remained largely unknown to the prehistoric community mainly for the lack of reliable chronological constraints. This paper reports high-precision mass spectrometric U-series dating of eight calcite samples from the extant cross-section. Based on the dates on the overlying flowstone layers, the hominin teeth should be definitely older than 292 ± 10 ka. Furthermore, as indicated by the U-series ages on the secondary calcite formations the fossiliferous deposits should be older than 441 ± 18 ka. These dates support the paleontological inference that Panlong Cave may predate the nearby Maba hominin site. The hominin specimens from the site may thus represent an early member of the Ailuropoda-Stegodon fauna and one of the oldest non-erectus Middle Pleistocene hominin fossils in southern China.

Psycho-mimetic manifestations following propofol in day care surgery--case reports.

OBJECTIVES Propofol has virtually replaced other agents for induction of anesthesia in the ambulatory setting because of its favorable recovery profile. Psycho-mimetic effects, common after use of ketamine, are not so well known for propofol. We present two case reports where patients had two spectrum of abnormal psychological outbreaks after propofol anesthesia. CASE REPORTS Two healthy young patients were scheduled for short day care procedures under general anesthesia. In both cases anesthesia was induced with propofol plus fentanyl and maintained with inhalational anesthetic agents. After uneventful completion of surgery, both patients were transferred to recovery room where they manifested unusual psycho-mimetic reactions. The first patient had emotional outburst in the form of crying and the other had violent reaction requiring haloperidol for control. CONCLUSION Psycho-mimetic reactions can occur after anesthesia using propofol in the short duration day care procedures, in patients with or without preexisting psychiatric problems, needing antipsychotic medications for control.
