Rhodamine B removal using polyaniline-supported zero-valent iron powder in the presence of dissolved oxygen

In this study, the PANI-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (PANI/nZVI) composites have been successfully synthesized to remove Rhodamine B (RhB) from aqueous solutions using a heterogeneous Fenton-like system. The synthetic PANI/nZVI composites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The results showed that they were lamellar structures and nZVI nanoparticles were introduced into their structures. The performances of PANI/nZVI composites on the activation of molecular oxygen for removal of RhB were investigated and the effects of operating parameters, such as PANI/nZVI dosage, PANI and nZVI mass ratio, RhB initial concentration, and pH value on RhB removal were also discussed. The results indicate that PANI/nZVI was proved to be the most efficient in that more than 83.31% of RhB was removed, whereas only 11.15% when using nZVI after reacting for 120 min with an initial RhB concentration of 0.02 mmol L−1 (pH = 6.50). Furthermore, the reaction mechanism was discussed by measuring the concentrations of Fe(II), total Fe and H2O2 formed in the system and examining scavenging effects using copper chloride and methanol. Finally, the stability of PANI/nZVI nanocatalyst was studied. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 35: 48–55, 2016
Islamic revolutionary ideology and its narratives: the continued relevance of the Islamic Republic’s ideology

Is the Islamic Republic of Iran’s revolutionary ideology still relevant more than 40 years after the revolution? Is it still relevant in the Islamic Republic’s foreign policy? While the Islamic Republic’s ideology undoubtedly developed alongside its institutions over the course of 40 years, this article argues that its revolutionary ideology continues to remain relevant and in fact important. Centring on the Islamic Republic’s ideological discourse, it further argues that it contains several recurring narratives which have remained salient throughout the Islamic Republic’s existence: narratives about the revolution; resistance, anti-imperialism and independence; nationalism; the Iran–Iraq war; and narratives in reference to Islam. Those narratives are part of the Islamic Republic’s ideological foundation and continue to play an important role in contemporary Iranian domestic and foreign policy. The article contributes a comprehensive study of how and why this is the case by enquiring into the strategic discursive employment of these narratives by analysing a major case of international interest: the nuclear issue.
The RADICAL framework for implementing and monitoring healthcare risk management

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to facilitate an integrative approach to the implementation, monitoring and reporting of risk management in healthcare settings.Design/methodology/approach – A framework, identified by the acronym RADICAL, is presented. The underlying principles and the strengths of the framework are described.Findings – The framework comprises the following domains in an integrated grid: raise awareness, design for safety, involve users, collect and analyse patient safety data, and learn from patient safety incidents.Practical implications – The RADICAL framework provides a simple but comprehensive approach to the implementation, monitoring and reporting of healthcare risk management. It is designed to facilitate learning and accountability at both individual and organisational levels, advocating a balance between “person” and “system”.

The increasing importance of herbicides in worldwide crop production

Herbicide use is increasingly being adopted around the world. Many developing countries (India, China, Bangladesh) are facing shortages of workers to hand weed fields as millions of people move from rural to urban areas. In these countries, herbicides are far cheaper and more readily available than labor for hand weeding. History shows that in industrializing countries in the past, including the United States, Germany, Japan and South Korea, the same phenomenon has occurred-as workers have left agriculture, herbicides have been adopted. It is inevitable that herbicide use will increase in sub-Saharan Africa, not only because millions of people are leaving rural areas, creating shortages of hand weeders, but also because of the need to increase crop yields. Hand weeding has never been a very efficient method of weed control-often performed too late and not frequently enough. Uncontrolled weeds have been a major cause of low crop yields in sub-Saharan Africa for a long time. In many parts of the world, herbicides are being increasingly used to replace tillage in order to improve environmental conditions. In comparison with tillage, herbicide use reduces erosion, fuel use, greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient run-off and conserves water.
Impact of cognitive performance on the reproducibility of fMRI activation in schizophrenia

Longitudinal functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies in patients with schizophrenia allow exploration of the course of the illness and brain activity after therapy. A crucial question, however, is whether fMRI findings are reliable, because they can be affected by performance deficits in patients with schizophrenia. Our aim was to evaluate the reproducibility of fMRI activations in highly integrated language areas in patients with schizophrenia, taking into account task performance.Ten patients with schizophrenia and 10 matched healthy controls were scanned twice, 21 months apart, while performing a story comprehension task. The reproducibility of the activations in each participant was evaluated globally by the percentage of spatial overlap between the 2 sessions and locally by a voxel-wise computation of the between-session relative standard deviation. We performed between-group comparisons both with and without the inclusion of comprehension scores (measuring task performance) as a covariate.On average, patients with schizophrenia had significantly lower comprehension scores than controls (4.5/12 v. 7.8/12, p = 0.002). The mean spatial overlap between fMRI sessions was 30.6% in the patient group and 47.0% in the control group (p = 0.017). Locally, the lower reproducibility in patients was most prominent in the left posterior middle temporal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus and medial prefrontal cortex (p < 0.001 uncorrected for multiple comparisons). Comprehension scores were positively correlated with both reproducibility measures in patients (overlap: r = 0.82, p = 0.004; relative standard deviation: several significant clusters at p < 0.001). When we included the comprehension scores as a covariate, most of the local between-group differences in reproducibility were removed, and the difference in overlap was not significant.Owing to the small sample size, we could not investigate the impact of clinical subtypes and different types of medications on reproducibility.Our findings suggest that the greater variability in activation in patients with schizophrenia compared with controls concerns high-level areas and is mainly attributable to deficient task performance. Consequently, cognitive performance must be carefully controlled when longitudinal fMRI studies are undertaken.
Targeting meniscus degradation in osteoarthritis

My goal is to determine the molecular degradation of meniscus tissue, a “new” disease that leads to degenerative meniscus tears and osteoarthritis (OA). My prior research has revealed that meniscus tears are a frequent entity in OA, not typically caused by knee trauma. By focusing on the meniscus, we aim to discover novel biomarkers and new targets for pharmaceutical intervention against OA, by preventing meniscus degradation and stimulating its regeneration. In our ageing population, the burden of OA is rapidly increasing, making the first disease-modifying OA treatment an urgent matter.

The proposal is based on my biobank consisting of human tissue from total knee joint replacements, knee arthroscopies, and healthy donor knees, including menisci, synovial fluid, hyaline cartilage, and blood. The two linked work packages are:

WP1 Proteomics: Identification of the proteome of the meniscal matrix and biomarkers of degeneration using exploratory and targeted mass spectrometry.
WP2 7T imaging: Arthroscopy patients will undergo ultra-high field 7-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pre-operatively and at two follow-ups. Using both high-resolution and emerging compositional imaging sequences, we will determine meniscus matrix degradation and hyaline cartilage quality changes after knee surgery. Importantly, we will link proteomics with early stage knee OA development to provide proof-of-concept that the identified biomarkers and molecular treatment targets are associated with OA.

My key team members include orthopaedic surgeons, an analytical chemist with expertise in mass spectrometry, a medical physicist with expertise in MRI, and a biostatistician. We further work in international collaborations. As the principal investigator, I have an internationally recognized track record in OA research, with a novel focus on the meniscus. We will accomplish our goals by our combined expertise, unique materials, state-of-the-art methods, dedication, and continued hard work.
Nondestructive evaluation (nde) system for the inspection of operation-induced material degradation in nuclear power plants

The long-term operation (LTO) of existing nuclear power plants (NPPs) has already been accepted in many countries as a strategic objective to ensure adequate supply of electricity over the coming decades. In order to estimate the remaining useful lifetime of NPP components, LTO requires reliable tools.
The objective of NOMAD is the development, demonstration and validation of a non-destructive evaluation (NDE) tool for the local and volumetric characterisation of the embrittlement in operational reactor pressure vessels (RPVs). In order to address these objectives, the following steps will be taken: 
• Development and demonstration of an NDE tool for the characterisation of RPV embrittlement, especially accounting for material heterogeneities and exceeding the existing information from surveillance programmes.
• Extension of the existing database of RPV material degradation by adding correlations of mechanical, microstructural and NDE parameters as well as including quantification of reliability and uncertainty.
• Application of the developed tool to cladded material resembling the actual RPV inspection scenario.
NOMAD takes into account the priorities of reactor operation, responding to stringent safety requirements from regulators, and seeks to foster convergence of nuclear safety approaches. The approach to be developed within NOMAD will deliver information complementary to and exceeding the information obtained by destructive tests of surveillance samples, which are currently assumed to represent the whole component and do not take into account possible local material variations. NOMAD aims to fulfil requirements for nuclear safety in the framework of assessment of lifetime operation. Thereby, it covers the specific challenge and scope of the call: Continually improving safety and reliability of Generation II and III reactors.
Aplicando técnicas de bioacústica a estudios de ornitología urbana: guía y recomendaciones

Una de las principales maneras de comunicarse de las aves, a través de la emisión de sonidos o vocalizaciones, puede verse afectada por los sonidos derivados de las actividades antrópicas. Estos disturbios (ruidos) interfieren en la comunicación pudiendo afectar la identificación de pares, los procesos reproductivos, la defensa de los territorios e, incluso, la composición y diversidad de las comunidades de aves. Las urbanizaciones son fuente de alta emisión de ruidos antropogénicos y constituyen ambientes sonoros complejos para las aves. La bioacústica, a través del monitoreo acústico pasivo (MAP), es una de las herramientas en auge y con numerosas ventajas que resultan particularmente útiles en estudios de ecología urbana. El MAP es un método no invasivo y eficiente que permite obtener información de forma autónoma, continua, simultánea y en diversas condiciones ambientales. A pesar de esto, resulta una herramienta aún poco explotada en los países del Neotrópico. Realizamos una descripción metodológica mostrando las potencialidades del MAP en investigaciones de aves y, particularmente en aquellas que ocurren en ambientes urbanos y/o peri-urbanos. Para esto realizamos una revisión no sistemática de la bibliografía existente, resumiendo nociones básicas del sonido y su proceso de grabación, opciones de micrófonos y grabadores asociados al MAP, diseños de muestreo, programas de análisis e índices acústicos. También, presentamos ejemplos de estudios nuestros sobre el MAP en ambientes urbanos de la Patagonia. Resaltamos el valor de esta herramienta de estudio para investigaciones a largo plazo, en sitios complejos de estudiar, para programas de monitoreo y proyectos de conservación.

Effect Assessment of Nano-particle Hydroxyapatite for Remediation of Cd and Pb Contaminated Soil

Forms of lead and cadmium were analyzed with five-step Tessier extraction method by adding different proportions of nano-hydroxyapatite(n-HAP) and taking artificial soil pollution means.Assessment of remediation of soil heavy metals with n-HAP was studied by bioavailability.Results showed that n-HAP had a certain degree of adsorption and inactivation effect on cadmium.When 5g of n-HAP was added into 100g soil sample,the effect of remediation was best,with removal rate of n-HAP to the available state of heavy metal up to 49%.The inactivation of n-HAP on active forms of lead was relatively effective,the decreased rate reached the level of 90% and the longer balance the better result.n-HAP had a better remediation effect on lead contaminated soil than the cadmium contaminated soil.
Stakeholder Engagement

Oklahoma law pre-empts local governments from enacting smoking restrictions inside public places that are stricter than state law, but the sovereign status of Oklahoma's 38 Tribal nations means they are uniquely positioned to stand apart as leaders in the area of tobacco policy.To provide recommendations for employing university-Tribal partnerships as an effective strategy for tobacco policy planning in tribal communities.Using a community-based participatory research approach, researchers facilitated a series of meetings with key Tribal stakeholders in order to develop a comprehensive tobacco policy plan. Ongoing engagement activities held between January 2011 and May 2012, including interdepartmental visits, facility site tours, interviews, and attendance at tribal activities, were critical for fostering constructive and trusting relationships between all partners involved in the policy planning process.The 17-month collaborative engagement produced a plan designed to regulate the use of commercial tobacco in all Tribally owned properties. The extended period of collaboration between the researchers and Tribal stakeholders facilitated: (1) levels of trust between partners; and (2) a steadfast commitment to the planning process, ensuring completion of the plan amid uncertain political climates and economic concerns about tobacco bans.Extended engagement produced an effective foundation for policy planning that promoted collaboration between otherwise dispersed Tribal departments, and facilitated communication of diverse stakeholder interests related to the goal of tobacco policies. The findings of this study provide useful strategies and best practices for those looking to employ Tribal-university partnerships as strategies for tobacco control planning and policy-based research.
Algorithm for online estimation of power system parameters

Power system parameters are having great contribution in the operating, monitoring and controlling of electric device. Frequency and harmonics are the two vital parameters which influence different relay functionality of power system. This study was made to estimate the frequency and harmonics of measuring voltage or current signal in presence of random noise and distortion. Here we are using complex least mean square (LMS), nonlinear least square (LS) and recursive least square (RLS) algorithm for measuring the parameter from the distorted voltage signal. The performances of these algorithms are studied through simulation and the experimental setup has been made to evaluate the robustness of the above algorithms.

Load slice core: a power and cost-efficient microarchitecture for the future

The ideal processor building block is a power and cost-efficient core that can maximize the extraction of memory hierarchy parallelism, a combination that neither traditional in-order nor out-of-order cores provide. We propose the Load Slice Core microarchitecture, a restricted out-of-order engine aimed squarely at extracting memory hierarchy parallelism, which, according to preliminary results, delivers a nearly 8 times higher performance per Watt per euro compared to an out-of-order core. 

The overarching objective of this project to fully determine the potential of the Load Slice Core as a key building block for a novel multi-core processor architecture needed in light of both current and future challenges in software and hardware, including variable thread-level parallelism, managed language workloads, the importance of sequential performance, and the quest for significantly improved power and cost efficiency. 

We anticipate significant improvement in multi-core performance within the available power budget and cost by combining chip-level dynamism to cope with variable thread-level parallelism along with the inherent power- and cost-efficient Load Slice Core design. If we are able to demonstrate the true value and potential of the Load Slice Core to address future hardware and software challenges, this project will have a long-lasting impact on the microprocessor industry moving forward.
