Recent advances in green hydrogels from lignin: a review

Recently, biorenewable polymers from different natural resources have attracted a greater attention of the research community for different applications starting from biomedical to automotive. Lignin is the second most abundant non-food biomass next to cellulose in the category of biorenewable polymers and is abundantly available as byproduct of several industries involved in paper making, ethanol production, etc. The development of various green materials from lignin, which is most often considered as waste, is therefore of prime interest from environmental and economic points of view. Over the last few years, little studies have been made into the use of lignin as an indispensable component in the hydrogels. This article provides an overview of the research work carried out in the last few years on lignin based hydrogels. This article comprehensively reviews the potential efficacy of lignin in biopolymer based green hydrogels with particular emphasis on synthesis, characterization and applications. In this article, several examples of hydrogels synthesized using different types of lignin are discussed to illustrate the state of the art in the use of lignin.
Numerical solutions of unsteady boundary layer equations for a generalized second grade fluid

Unsteady, incompressible boundary layer equations for a modified power-law fluid of the second grade are considered. The model is a combination of the power-law and second grade fluid in which the fluid may exhibit normal stresses, shear thinning or shear thickening behaviour. The equations of motion are formulated for two-dimensional flows, and from which the boundary layer equations are derived. By using the similarity transformation, we reduce the boundary layer equations to system of non-linear ordinary differential equation. The ordinary differential equations are numerically integrated for classical boundary layer conditions. Effects of the power-law index and second grade coefficient on the boundary layers are shown.
Commentary manuscripts in the history and transmission of the greek new testament

Manuscripts which contain commentary alongside the biblical text are some of the most significant and complicated witnesses to the Greek New Testament. First compiled around the fifth century, the commentaries consist of chains of extracts from earlier writers (catenae). These manuscripts became the main way in which users encountered both the text and the interpretation of the New Testament; revised editions produced in the eleventh and twelfth centuries continued to hold the field until the invention of printing.

Recent advances have shown that commentary manuscripts play a much more important role than previously thought in the history of the New Testament. The number of known copies has increased by 20% following a preliminary survey last year which identified 100 additional manuscripts. A recent comprehensive textual analysis of the Catholic Epistles indicated that all witnesses from the third generation onwards (some 72% of the total) could stem from the biblical text of three commentary manuscripts occupying a key place in the textual tradition. Investigation of the catena on Mark has shown that the selection of extracts could offer a new approach to understanding the theology of the compilers and the transmission of the commentaries. 

The CATENA Project will use digital tools to undertake a fuller examination of Greek New Testament commentary manuscripts than has ever before been possible. This will include an exhaustive survey to establish a complete list of witnesses; a database of extracts to examine their principles of organisation and relationships; and electronic transcriptions to determine their role in the transmission of the biblical text. The results will have a direct impact on editions of the Greek New Testament, providing a new understanding of its text and reception and leading to broader insights into history and culture.
Analyzing effects of intra- and interspecific competition on timber quality attributes of Fagus sylvatica L.—from quality assessments on standing trees to sawn boards

Timber quality is the main driver of timber prices and is strongly influenced by the competition a tree experiences until its day of harvest. Regulating competition is an integral part of silviculture, and therefore, deeper understanding of the competitor’s influence on timber quality is important. Since mixed forest stands and the share of broadleaved tree species have increased in the recent past because of a changed forest policy in several countries, effects of mixture types on timber quality are of increasing importance. In this study, we investigated the effects of intra- and interspecific competition on the internal timber quality of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). To analyze the effects of competition intensity and competitor species identity on the timber quality of 82 target beech trees, three different approaches were used: terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), a quality assessment on the standing tree by local district foresters, and a quality assessment of the sawn wood (boards) after harvesting. We investigated the relationship between external and internal quality features and additionally compared the different approaches to assess quality. We found that the present competitive situation was partly related to internal timber quality, with increasing competition leading to increased internal timber quality. We further observed more discoloration in timber of beech trees growing in mixture with other broadleaved tree species. We also showed that predicting discoloration is possible through the number of bark anomalies on the stem surface. Also, the external quality assessment of local foresters on standing trees predicted the internal timber features well. Finally, TLS appeared to be a valuable addition for assessing timber quality in situ.
IDENTIFIKASI KONFLIK PEREBUTAN TANAH ADAT DI DAERAH LAHAN BASAH KABUPATEN BANJAR

Conflict over customary land dispute in the area of wetlands and located in South Kalimantan in order of importance of business expansion by certain groups increasingly rife. The results of the research in the first year indicates that the land-related conflicts in wetland areas associated with layered certificate and between the seal and the certificate in the village of Gambut District of Banjar Regency. Generally, conflicts become apparent when peat lands are uncultivated land previously held a high place in the economy due to the access road. High-value economy is usually associated with the interests of residential, business, and other economic interests. The next approach in this research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The population derived from the conflicts over indigenous land in wetland areas Banjar regency with the sampling technique is purposive sampling. In general, the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) for two events form the basis for formulating a model of conflict resolution of land in wetland areas. Land conflicts that stem from overlapping certificates, certificates and seals both for personal as well as public and indigenous land has led to the completion of both litigation and non litigation. Outcomes of this study is to create a model of conflict resolution of land in wetland areas in Banjar district. http://dx.doi.org/10.17977/um019v1i12016p001

The first facing (60) extends beyond the side edges of the batt (52) to form opposed flanges (32) suitable for attaching the insulation assembly (70) to a building structure. The batt (52) has a second facing (62) secured on its second major surface (56), with the second facing (62) extending beyond the side edges of the batt (52) to form opposed flanges (32) suitable for attaching the insulation assembly (70) to a building structure. The method of making an insulation assembly (70) includes moving a batt of fibrous insulation material (52) along a path, where the fibrous insulation material (52) has two opposed major surfaces (54, 56). A continuous encapsulation material (16) is applied to the pack (10), and a portion of the encapsulation material (16) is continuously gathered to form a two part fold (22). The two parts of the fold (22) are bonded together to form a flange (32) suitable for attaching the insulation assembly (70) to a building structure.
Mobility innovations for a new dawn in sustainable (european) transport systems

The Mind-sets project (MS) will make a major contribution to our understanding of mobility in Europe:
• How to better understand mobility (to better influence and change it)
• How to predict the likely future attitudes to, and patterns of, mobility
• What forms of mobility policies, products and services will best meet these future mobility needs 
The project provides a new approach to understanding mobility as part of the overall changing lifestyles of different population groups across Europe. A multi-disciplinary coordination of intelligence provides a strong platform for the reinterpretation of our understanding of the ‘mobility mind-sets’ of Europeans; based on engagement with other leading experts in the field in Europe. The approach will be validated against key behavioural issues facing mobility decision-makers: increasing automation, door to door seamless smart mobility, sustainable and energy efficient fuels and mobility and social inclusion.  This enhanced understanding is developed into decision support guidelines (to be called ‘Mind-sets’) with a ‘Think Tank’ of practising mobility stakeholders (decision-makers, operators, developers and mobility system suppliers) to fine tune the guidelines to directly meet market needs. In turn, this will support decisions, create innovation future mobility policy and assist the design and marketing of new products and services. The project is strongly supported by an active exploitation and dissemination strategy, based on a ‘Mind-Sets Knowledge Centre’. Mind-Sets applies a new approach that brings mainstream sociologists, environmental psychologists, health and lifestyle specialists and economists together with sustainable mobility and travel behaviour specialists, plus experts in social media , technological and ITC trend analysis: a, new type of team, to assess mobility issues. Through successful exploitation, the project will also change the ‘Professional mind-sets’ of mobility decision-makers in Europe.

Effects of global change on the social behaviour of marine organisms

The IPCC projects a 0.2-0.3 unit decrease in oceanic pH and a concurrent 1.0-3.7°C increase in sea surface temperature by 2100. These changes will have considerable impacts on marine organisms and are a threat to European and global biodiversity, food security, and socioeconomic productivity. While physiological impacts associated with marine global change have been well documented, behavioural impacts are less well known, even though behaviour has a major influence on the structure and function of marine communities. Furthermore, of the documented behavioural changes associated with global change, social behaviours - which play a key role in the survival and persistence of marine animals – are largely ignored. This project thus aims to advance current knowledge of global change biology by testing hypotheses pertaining to the impacts of ocean acidification and warming on the social behaviour of marine organisms spanning a wide range of taxa – from invertebrates to fish. Herein, it is hypothesized that predicted near-future (i.e., 2100) CO2 and temperature conditions will alter the social behaviour of crustaceans (shrimp shoaling), echinoderms (urchin and sea star aggregations), and fish (stickleback shoaling). This project will also test for physiological mechanisms underpinning global change-induced behavioural changes (GABAA functioning), as well as transgenerational effects (transgenerational acclimation in stickleback shoaling behaviour). The training, mentorship, and practical experience associated with this project will provide the fellow with the skills and competency to become an international leader in global change biology and marine animal behaviour. Furthermore, the knowledge generated by this project will answer critical questions in global change biology, which can be used by scientists, policy makers, stakeholders, and the general public, and will contribute to a much needed unifying theory of how global change will affect marine species.

Fault-tolerant implementation of a distributed MLE-based time synchronization protocol for wireless sensor networks

This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of R <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</sup> Syn protocol on MICAz platform and TinyOS operating system. The contribution is two folds. First, the implementation uses thorough maximum-likelihood estimators (MLE) in the joint offset/skew model, while all similar MLEbased estimators are merely evaluated with theoretical and numerical analysis thus far, and empirical solutions use simple computation estimators, such as offset-only models, or linear regression for skew estimation. Difficulties that has been encountered and overcome are reported in this paper. The second contribution is to consider fault-tolerance, an aspect that has been completely abstracted in previous works. The implementation assures correct behavior despite nodes failure or packet loss, as demonstrated by the experiments. Experimental results also demonstrate microsecond-level precision and long-term validity of the estimators in the joint skew/offset model.

Linked irish traditional music project

The LITMUS (Linked Irish Traditional Music) project will focus on the development of the first linked open data (LOD) framework tailored to the needs of Irish traditional song, instrumental music, and dance (ITM), as well as European and non-European traditional musics primarily propagated through oral transmission. LOD connects data from within & beyond knowledge domains; LOD ontologies are specially designed to represent knowledge structures and relationships. The few existing LOD music ontologies do not adequately express ITM & other oral traditions, making LITMUS significant. Project activities include ontology development, LOD infrastructure creation, & development of a publicly-accessible LOD pilot. LITMUS will impact the larger European cultural heritage community & beyond, providing a framework for other organisations to model & publish their own similar collections in LOD; reifying latent shared properties & traits anecdotally known to exist in the folk music of countries with strong socio-historical links. The researcher is uniquely positioned for implementing the LITMUS project through her combination of depth & breadth of knowledge in ITM, research in music information scholarship, & technological skills. Through LITMUS, the researcher will gain new technical skills, apply knowledge in multiple areas, gain insight into LOD industry research; synthesize current knowledge with new approaches using LOD, & gain high-level publication & presentation opportunities, thus greatly enhancing her employability in the non-academic sector. A variety of non-academic and academic audiences will be engaged in dissemination & communication of project results through presentations, demonstrations, videos, & workshops, including interdisciplinary music audiences. LITMUS will add value to ITMA's existing role as Project Partner & Content Provider for Europeana/Europeana Sounds whilst establishing ITMA as an international research focal point for LOD & traditional musics.
PARALLEL PROCESSING OF UPLINK AND DOWNLINK TRANSMISSIONS

A UE may determine a number of resources granted for uplink or downlink communication in a processing window. The resources may include uplink resources or downlink resources and the processing windows may include a predetermined number of subframes. For uplink (UL) transmissions, this may include determining a number of transport block bits, resource blocks, or other resources scheduled in one or more first UL channel grants for a first UL channel, and determining a number of such resources scheduled in a second UL grant for a second UL channel. For downlink (DL) transmissions, the determining may include determining a number of resources received on a first DL channel in each subframe of a set of subframes, and determining a number of resources received on a second DL channel. The determined number of UL or DL resources may be compared to a corresponding threshold which his based on the UE capabilities and processed in accordance a result of the comparison. These and additional aspects are described herein.
Cultures of suspicion in post-socialist europe

Academic inquiry into conspiracy theories is unquestionably on the rise. Since the turn of the millennium, a new generation of scholars has released conspiracy theory from its earlier associations with individual pathologies, and has shifted attention to its wider social and cultural functioning. Notwithstanding these developments, existing research still tends to treat conspiracy theories in historical and cultural isolation, overlooking their reliance on earlier events and narrative templates, and neglecting their – increasingly digital – transnational dynamic. Focusing on conspiratorial stories and images in Central and East European literature, film, television, commemorative rituals and online culture, during the period 2010-2020, CONSPIRATORIALMEMORY aims to overcome these limitations. The project elucidates the historical references, the transnational interactions and the online circulations that give conspiracy theories their rhetorical and emotional momentum in the post-socialist era. Relying on a theoretical framework that enriches the emerging field of conspiracy theory studies with affect studies and cultural memory studies, the project zooms in on conspiracy-based cultural imaginations from Poland, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus regarding three transnational events that have recently been at the center of international political tensions. Subprojects 1, 2 and 3 each focus on the conspiracy cultures around one of these events, employing the qualitative methodology of Cultural Analysis to examine the intersecting discourses of memory and suspicion. Subproject 4 uses quantitative digital media research methods to analyze the medium-specific contributions of online platforms to memory-based conspiratorial imaginations. The Project Synthesis compares the modes and media of expression in the examined cases, and addresses their parallels with cultural imaginations of conspiracy from Western Europe and the United States.
