The Dynamic Evaluation of Rock Slope Stability Considering the Effects of Microseismic Damage

A state-of-the-art microseismic monitoring system has been implemented at the left bank slope of the Jinping first stage hydropower station since June 2009. The main objectives are to ensure slope safety under continuous excavation at the left slope, and, very recently, the safety of the concrete arch dam. The safety of the excavated slope is investigated through the development of fast and accurate real-time event location techniques aimed at assessing the evolution and migration of the seismic activity, as well as through the development of prediction capabilities for rock slope instability. Myriads of seismic events at the slope have been recorded by the microseismic monitoring system. Regions of damaged rock mass have been identified and delineated on the basis of the tempo-spatial distribution analysis of microseismic activity during the periods of excavation and consolidation grouting. However, how to effectively utilize the abundant microseismic data in order to quantify the stability of the slope remains a challenge. In this paper, a rock mass damage evolutional model based on microseismic data is proposed, combined with a 3D finite element method (FEM) model for feedback analysis of the left bank slope stability. The model elements with microseismic damage are interrogated and the deteriorated mechanical parameters determined accordingly. The relationship between microseismic activities induced by rock mass damage during slope instability, strength degradation, and dynamic instability of the slope are explored, and the slope stability is quantitatively evaluated. The results indicate that a constitutive relation considering microseismic damage is concordant with the simulation results and the influence of rock mass damage can be allowed for its feedback analysis of 3D slope stability. In addition, the safety coefficient of the rock slope considering microseismic damage is reduced by a value of 0.11, in comparison to the virgin rock slope model. Our results demonstrate that microseismic activity induced by construction disturbance only slightly affects the stability of the slope. The proposed feedback analysis technique provides a novel method for dynamically assessing rock slope stability and can be used to assess the slope stability of other similar rock slopes.

Detection of bio-signatures in space research using a new and innovative measurement technique based on laser desorption ionisation mass spectrometry

Detection of bio-signatures on planetary objects are of high interest for science and society. Mars is one of the most promising target in our Solar System to find traces of life. Several missions are planned in the future by, e.g., NASA and ESA to find bio-signatures on Mars. Unfortunately, since the first Viking landing on Mars in the 1970s the quest for finding bio-signatures remains unresolved. Therefore, the development of new measurement concepts for the detection of bio-signatures is of high importance for future space missions to Mars.

The aim of BioTec is to provide a new and innovative measurement technique for the detection of bio-molecules based on laser desorption ionisation mass spectrometry (LIMS). Knowledge from various science disciplines, ranging from astrobiology to the development of space instrumentation, is required for a successful realisation of BioTec.

First, laboratory techniques will be learned to analyse Mars analogues for their bio-molecule content. These have been collected from different Mars analogue field sites on Earth. This will i) provide insights into the pros and cons of current collecting strategies and ii) further define the best Mars analogues.

Next, a field trip to the Atacama Desert, Chile (most representative Mars analogue site on Earth) is planned. The previously conducted analyses will define the sampling strategy, which in turn will allow me to collect the most promising Mars analogues from the Atacama Desert. These are subsequently analysed using laboratory techniques.

Using expertise gained from these Mars analogues, a simple and robust measurement protocol shall be developed using the LIMS system. This includes testing of i) laser parameters for desorption of amino acids and ii) coatings to minimise the fragmentation pattern of desorbed bio-molecules.

Finally, the best Mars analogues from the first task, together with Mars analogue samples collected from the Atacama Desert will be analysed using the LIMS system.
Including God in Psychotherapy: Strong Vs. Weak Theism

The authors first attempt to conceptualize theistic psychotherapy by discussing the relationship between theism and naturalism. Many psychologists have assumed that naturalism and theism can be combined in various ways, so the authors review the more prominent of these combinations at the outset. They argue not only that these mixtures are “weak” (i.e., they restrain God in some way) but also that they ultimately assume naturalism is incompatible in many ways with theism. The authors compare “weak” theism with a “strong” theism that does not restrain God or rely on naturalistic assumptions. This comparison is elaborated by distinguishing a published example of strongly theistic psychotherapy from three common types of weakly theistic psychotherapy, with corresponding examples from the theistic literature.

I<sup>2</sup>-diagnosability framework for detection of Advanced Stealth Man in the Middle attack in Wi-Fi networks

The diagnosability condition for a Discrete Event System (DES) model requires that there exists no failureindeterminate cycles in the DES diagnoser for all failure types. This stringent requirement of DES diagnosability condition renders many systems non-diagnosable. I-diagnosability framework provides a weaker notion of diagnosability than DES diagnosability by considering only those failures that are followed by certain observable event(s) known as indicator events. However, some systems are I-non-diagnosable even in the presence of an indicator event following the failure event. In this paper, we propose I2-diagnosability framework overcomes the shortcomings of the I-diagnosability framework. In I2-DES framework an empowering event ensures that the indicator event sensitizes the failure successfully. We have considered a practical example of Advanced Stealth Man in the Middle attack in Wi-Fi networks to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed I2-DES framework wherein the I-DES framework fails.
Comparing micellar, hemolytic, and antibacterial properties of di- and tricarboxyl dendritic amphiphiles

Homologous dicarboxyl dendritic amphiphiles-RCONHC(CH(3))(CH(2)CH(2)COOH)(2), 4(n); and ROCONHC(CH(3))(CH(2)CH(2)COOH)(2), 5(n), where R=n-C(n)H(2)(n)(+1) and n=13-22 carbon atoms-were synthesized. Critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) in aqueous triethanolamine solutions and at pH 7.4 were measured along with hemolytic activity (effective concentrations, EC(10)) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). LogCMC showed a linear dependence on chain length (n); the longest chain in each series had the lowest CMC-in triethanolamine: 4(21), 180μM and 5(22), 74μM and at pH 7.4: 4(21), 78μM and 5(22), 33μM. These two series, 4(n) and 5(n), and three series of homologous tricarboxyl dendritic amphiphiles-RCONHC(CH(2)CH(2)COOH)(3), 1(n); ROCONHC(CH(2)CH(2)COOH)(3), 2(n); RNHCONHC(CH(2)CH(2)COOH)(3), 3(n), where R=n-C(n)H(2)(n)(+1) and n=13-22 carbon atoms-were tested for growth inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus strain ATCC 6358 and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strain ATCC 43330 by microdilution in 0.1-strength brain heart infusion broth (BHIB). Amphiphiles 4(19), 4(21), 5(18), and 5(20) showed the strongest antibacterial activity (2.2-3.4μg/mL) against S. aureus (vancomycin, MIC=0.25μg/mL). These four plus 1(21), 2(20), 2(22), and 3(20) exhibited the strongest antibacterial activity (1.7-6.8μg/mL) against MRSA (vancomycin, MIC=0.25μg/mL). The MICs of these amphiphiles against six clinical MRSA were similar to those against the ATCC strain. In PBS, EC(10)s of the most active homologues ranged from 7 to 18μg/mL and 18 to 220μg/mL for di- and tricarboxyl dendritic amphiphiles, respectively. To assess the potential safety of using dendritic amphiphiles as drugs, measurements of micellar and hemolytic properties were conducted in the same medium (full-strength BHIB) that was used for antibacterial activity. The CMCs (9-36μg/mL, ∼18-72μM) of ten amphiphiles were measured by microdilution (log2 progression) with dye-covered beads. The EC(10)s were similar to those in PBS. The MICs of most amphiphiles (14-72μg/mL) and vancomycin (1.1-2.2μg/mL) against both S. aureus and MRSA increased significantly compared to the MICs measured in 0.1-strength BHIB. The one exception, 5(18), had an MIC against S. aureus of 1.1μg/mL compared to vancomycin (2.2μg/mL). With CMC (9-18μg/mL) and EC(10) (16μg/mL) values higher than the MIC, 5(18) was discovered as a lead for further development.
Smart core/shell nanorod arrays for artificial skin

The replication of the circle of information coming from the environment, to the skin, to an action mediated by the brain, requires a lot of advances in smart technology and materials development. Embedding sensors in smart architectures that record the stimulus from the environment and transform it into action is the objective of artificial skins. At the moment, different sensors have to be implemented in the artificial skin matrix for each stimulus. 
The goal of this project is to develop a single multi-stimuli responsive material, which would allow a simplification of the artificial skin and enable unprecedented spatial resolution. The material will be comprised of a smart core, responsive to temperature and humidity, and a piezoelectric shell for pressure sensing. The swelling of the smart core upon stimuli will be sensed by the piezoelectric shell and produce a measurable potential. This architecture will be achieved thanks to the use of novel vapor-based technologies for material processing that allow fabrication at the nanoscale. The advantage of using a dry, vapor-based, polymerization for the smart core is that it will be possible to cumulate different functionalities and engineered composition gradients, which are difficult to obtain by conventional synthesis. Nano-structuration of such materials in core-shell site-specific arrays will allow to create a sensing network with spatial resolution down to 1mm and lower. The network will respond to the stimuli coming from the environment and recognize them in terms of location and type of stimuli. 
The successful execution of the SmartCore project will have a strong impact in the design and production of future structures, with consequences in sensoring, biotechnology and tissue engineering.
Taxation of Intergenerational Transfers and Wealth

Abstract In this chapter, I review empirical and theoretical literature on taxation of intergenerational transfers (estates, bequests, inheritances, inter vivos gifts) and wealth. The main message may be summarized as follows. Empirical evidence on bequest motivations and responses to estate taxation is spotty and much remains be done, but what we know points in the direction of (1) mixed motives, (2) heterogeneity of preferences, and (3) importance of retaining control over wealth. These patterns are important for normative analysis of taxation toward the top of the distribution. Theoretical work should further focus on understanding implications of inequality of inherited wealth: the topic that has been neglected in the past, even though it is closely related to—more carefully studied, but arguably much less important in practice—externalities from giving. Potential externalities from wealth accumulation and concentration are yet to be seriously addressed.
The emergence and evolution of linguistic tone

This project will investigate the origins, acquisition, and evolution of linguistic tone: the use of pitch to distinguish between the meaning of words. Despite the typological ubiquity of tone, there is still no phonetic, structural, or psychological model that explains how and why tones emerge (or fail to emerge) in language after language, nor how they evolve once they are formed. This is because there has never been a systematic analysis of the principles that govern the evolution of tone systems. EVOTONE will provide the first comprehensive study of tonal emergence and evolution, combining detailed phonetic and perceptual studies of Himalayan and Southeast Asian minority languages with innovative experimental methodologies and large-scale computational analysis of the structural principles correlated with the emergence of tone. 

EVOTONE is guided by a novel hypothesis that, if correct, will have important repercussions for the study of sound change. The core idea is deceptively simple: rather than being the result of small, incremental changes in pronunciation, features like tone come about due to a sudden failure to articulate a particular aspect of a sound. If the risk of focusing on tone is to overemphasize a single feature, the potential reward is enormous: an opportunity to transform our understanding of how physical and cognitive pressures interact to shape human behavior and language change. The outcomes of this project will provide a new empirical foundation for the typology and evolution of tone systems; break new ground in the study of how structural and phonetic factors interact in sound change; and establish, for the first time, an empirically grounded set of principles of tonal evolution. In addition to resolving a number of outstanding questions about tonogenesis, the results will substantially advance our more general understanding of how language changes over time.

Développement historique des hôpitaux de jour de santé mentale pour enfants et adolescents : le cas de l’Espagne

Le développement de la psychiatrie de l’enfant et de l’adolescent se produit chronologiquement plus tard que celui de la psychiatrie de l’adulte, tout comme le développement de dispositifs spécifiques pour ces âges. C’est le cas des Hôpitaux de jour, dispositifs intermédiaires dont la France et l’Amérique du Nord ont été les pionniers, et dont l’émergence et l’expansion en Espagne a été hétérogène, inégale et avec un retard par rapport aux pays environnants. Nous avons envisagé de faire un exposé historique à ce sujet, qui fait partie d’un travail plus vaste. Il existe suffisamment de preuves pour recommander la mise en œuvre de programmes spécifiques de santé mentale pour les enfants et les adolescents, tels que l’hôpital de jour, qui ont un impact favorable sur la santé mentale des patients accueillis, garantissant des prestations efficaces, de qualité et équitables au sein du système national de santé, avec une attention particulière aux patients atteints de troubles mentaux graves. De toute façon, les hôpitaux de jour pour enfants et adolescents sont une réalité de plus en plus étendue grâce à la décision, l’effort et la ténacité des professionnels de la santé mentale des enfants et des adolescents, qui ont compris et se sont adaptés aux besoins de leurs patients.
Design of Low Power Asynchronous Parallel Adder

This paper describes an asynchronous parallel adder. It is based on Radix method for faster computation of sum and to reduce delay caused by carry chain. The computation has been carried out using parallel process. The aim of this work is to reduce the Power Delay Product (PDP) and Energy Delay Product (EDP) of an adder. We use two Full Adders (FA) in a single block and use a carry look- ahead technique to shorten the carry path within the radix-4 FA block. To obtain low area, the carry is generated first and then it is reused in sum generation. The adder is implemented using Tanner EDA v13 tool. The practicality and superiority of the proposed technique have been verified by simulations over other asynchronous adders.

According to the method, at least one portion of the washing fluid (8, 13) exiting from the fluid outlet of the or of at least one of the supply means (6, 11) is reintroduced into the washing inlet of the same supply means or of another of said supply means.
A novel image encryption algorithm based on self-adaptive wave transmission

Based on self-adaptive wave transmission, a novel image encryption algorithm is given in this paper. The advantages of our proposed approach are that it can be realized easily and is computationally simple while achieving high security level, high speed, high sensitivity and other properties simultaneously. Wave transmission encryption, as the name suggests, is a way to change the gray-level value of pixels by simulating waves' transmission. The self-adaptive encryption is carried out by using one half of image data to encrypt the other half of the image mutually. Our algorithm can encrypt image in parallel and be also applied to color image encryption. Simulation results for a gray-level and a color image have demonstrated the high performance on the sensitivity, speed, and security of the proposed algorithm. Even in the first round the change rate of the number of pixels in the cipher-image when only one pixel of the plain-image is modified (NPCR) and the unified average changing intensity (UACI) are already very high (NPCR>0.995, UACI>0.334), only 2 rounds encryption can satisfy the performance and security requirement. Besides, our algorithm is faster than state of the art techniques, as far as parallel encryption is concerned, the time consumption will be much less.
