International Journal Impact Factor Modeling Based on Gene Expression Programming

Academic periodical is able to manifest scientific competitiveness of one country, and also is an important manifestation form of scientific productivity. Therefore, the research on international journal impact factor modeling has certain practical significance. Based on the gene expression programming, this paper establishes nonlinear model between journal impact factor and related indexes. The model utilizes immediacy index, total cites, articles, cited half-life, issues per year, self cites and average references as the inputs, and takes impact factor as the output. This paper mainly chooses the academic journals of China in 2008 as experimental data that are embodied by Journal Citation Reports. The experimental results show that impact factor is positively related to immediacy index, total cites and average references, and is negatively related to articles and cited half-life, and nearly has nothing to do with issues per year and self cites.

Feeding pyridoxine prevents Saprolegnia parasitica infection in fish Labeo rohita

A 60-day experiment was carried out to delineate the role of dietary pyridoxine (DP) in Labeo rohita fingerlings in modulating immunity and prevention of fungal infection. Two hundred and seventy fingerlings were randomly distributed into three treatments in triplicates. Three iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous purified diets were prepared with graded levels of pyridoxine. Three experimental groups were C (0.0% DP), T1 (0.01% DP) and T2 (0.02% DP). The role of dietary pyridoxine in modulating immunity and prevention of fungal infection was assessed by haemato-immunological parameters like erythrocyte counts (EC), leucocyte counts (LC), haemoglobulin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), nitro-blue tetrazolium (NBT), phagocytic activity, albumin, globulin, total plasma protein, albumin/globulin and by challenge study with Saprolegnia parasitica, where relative percentage survival (RPS) were recorded. Hb, PCV, MCV, MCH, NBT, total plasma protein, albumin, globulin contents, lysozyme and phagocytic activity was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in DP fed group. Significantly (P < 0.05) higher RPS was recorded from T2 group fed with 0.02% DP for 45 days. Hence, DP has the capacity to stimulate nonspecific immunity and increase resistance to S. parasitica infection in L. rohita fingerlings.
Simulation of 75Se Encapsulated Sources for Their Potential Use in Brachytherapy

The physical characteristics of the 75Se radionuclide make it a promising gamma radiator for use as a brachytherapy sealed source. This radionuclide combines relatively low-energy photon radiation emitted during decay with a sufficiently long half-life (approximately 120 days) and the possibility of obtaining high specific activity. All this makes this radionuclide attractive for automated injection brachytherapy. The aim of this work was to study the dosimetric characteristics of 75Se for its potential use in high and medium dose rate brachytherapy. According to the TG-43 formalism, the radial dose function g(r) and the anisotropy function F(r, θ) are calculated. 75Se as a radionuclide for sealed source brachytherapy has many advantages over widely used isotopes and can serve as an alternative to iridium sources.
Renewable energy policy dialogue towards 2030 – Editorial of the special issue

In view of the 2030 energy and climate objectives of the European Union, there is a need to evaluate the different options to shape the future framework for renewable energy sources (RES) policies and targets. The Special Issue focuses in seven papers on the following dimension of this future framework: (i) interactions between support for RES in the electricity sector and other climate and energy instruments in the European Union, (ii) challenges related to renewable energy technologies that have achieved a certain level of maturity, (iii) assessment of renewable and energy efficiency policies on natural gas markets and supply security, (iv) contribution of increasing district heating based on renewables to the renewable target achievements of Central and Eastern European, (v) how to support the successful achievement of renewable energy targets in the short and medium term and in a time horizon up to 2030, and how to share the efforts required among individual countries or groups of European Member States, (vi) influence of the rapidly increasing shares of variable renewable on the price on electricity markets as well as flexibility requirements in the electricity system, (vii) principal design features and context factors which increase or reduce the effectiveness and efficiency of RES-E auctions.
New-Graduate Salaries

For newly minted graduates in chemically related fields, 2012 was a better year to find a job than previous years, as the unemployment rate for those looking for work fell from 13.3% in 2011 to 12.6% in 2012. Despite the slight drop in unemployment, median starting salaries for new Ph.D. and master’s degree recipients also dropped and those for bachelor’s earners stayed flat. These findings come from the annual American Chemical Society survey of new graduates in chemistry and related fields. Gareth S. Edwards of the ACS Department of Research & Member Insights conducts the survey under the guidance of the ACS Committee on Economic & Professional Affairs. The 2012 survey was sent to 12,132 recent graduates in early October 2012, and data were collected until January 2013. In all, the new grads returned 2,012 usable responses for a response rate of 16.6%. The respondents can be divided into several ...
Susceptibility of mycotoxigenic fungi to commercial fungicides, a potential tool for mycotoxin control in maize in Kenya

Mycotoxin contamination of food grains represents significant health and economic challenges in developing countries as well as the developed world. Mycotoxin- producing fungal species affecting maize mainly belong to the genera Aspergillus ,  Fusarium , and Penicillium .They pose serious phytopathological and mycotoxicological risks both at pre-harvest and post-harvest stages. Maize in Kenya has been associated with frequent outbreaks of aflatoxin contamination. A number of mycotoxin control strategies both chemical and biological have been developed as potential tools for mycotoxin control. A Laboratory based cross-sectional study was carried out in a Mycology Laboratory at the Center for Microbiology Research in Kenya Medical Research Institute, Nairobi, Kenya. A total of 138 maize samples obtained from Machakos, Nairobi, Mombasa, Kitale and Kisumu were subjected to mycological analysis. The samples were treated with the fungicides; Antracol (propineb), Milraz (propineb700g/kg and Cymoxanil60g/kg), Mistress (Cymoxanil 8% and Mancozeb 64%) and Victory (Metalaxy 80g/kg and Mancozeb 640g/kg.) before inoculation on Sabourauds dextrose agar (SDA). Infestation rates on fungicide- treated and non treated control maize kernels were scored. The susceptibility of the isolates to the four test fungicides was determined by disk diffusion technique. All the maize samples were infested by moulds and there was a significant difference in regional infestation rates (p<0.05). Maize from Mombasa had the lowest infestation of 72.5% while Nairobi was the highest with 99.1%. Fungi of the genera Aspergillus , Fusarium , and Penicillium were frequently isolated from the five regions. There was a significant reduction {p<0.05 (0.00)} of infestation rates on fungicide- treated maize compared to the untreated. Generally, 26% (n=35) and 34% (n=47) of maize samples treated with Mistress and Victory, respectively had 0% infestation while those treated with Milraz and Antracol were 10% (n=14) and 14% (n=19), respectively. Some mycotoxigenic isolates were found to be resistant to more than one of the test fungicides. However, their in- vitro antifungal activity is of great importance and could further be evaluated to determine their field efficacy for mycotoxin control in maize. Key words: Maize, Mycotoxigenic fungi, Fungicides, Susceptibility.
Environmental, social and economic information management for the evaluation of sustainability in urban areas: A system of indicators for Thessaloniki, Greece

The use of indicators constitutes internationally an important tool for assessing the progress achieved towards sustainable development. Measuring the sustainability in urban areas – which are crucial engines of local socio-economic development, but at the same time present concentration points of environmental decay – is a major challenge for environmental managers and decision-makers. This paper aims at the development and utilisation of a system of indicators as a dynamic tool for the management of environmental, social and economic information in order to evaluate sustainability in urban areas. In this context, guidelines for the system’s development and use are proposed, together with a suggestion for its communication among local stakeholders. An application of this system is demonstrated through a case study using the Greater Thessaloniki Area, Greece, a domain with considerable socio-economic development, which is also encountering significant environmental pressures.
Mix-In organic-inorganic redox events for high energy batteries

The ever-increasing demand for improved electrochemical energy storage technologies has fostered intense, worldwide and interdisciplinary research over the past decade. The field of positive electrode materials remains largely dominated by transition metal compounds in which only the redox of metal cations contributes to the energy storage. The development of new materials and technologies, wherein both anions and cations display reversible, multi-electron redox, is bound to strongly impact this field. 
MOOiRÉ will challenge this goal through innovative approaches on Metal Organic Compounds and Frameworks (MOC/Fs) with mix-in many-electron reversible redox of both, transition metal cations and organic ligand anions. Building on our preliminary results MOOiRÉ will adopt an integrated approach. We will combine performance oriented MOC/F molecular design supported by in-operando analytical inspection tools with novel electrode engineering approaches to overcome the limitations and enable efficient electrochemical charge storage. Through this highly interdisciplinary research, MOOiRÉ intends to advance the science and technology of mix-in redox MOC/Fs for next generation batteries, supercapacitors and their hybrids. 
MOOiRÉ will also be a major systematic study of the fundamentals of MOC/F-based energy storage systems in view of a practical implementation. The overall impact will extend beyond the energy science community: the developed knowledge, tools and procedures will influence research and development related to porous composite materials, sorption, ion exchange and electrocatalysis. In the context of energy storage, this will be a disruptive development, enabling the use of MOC/Fs electrodes, with superior levels of performance as compared to current technology, at affordable costs and based on novel protocols.

Decoding the nature of flapping flight by port-hamiltonian system theory

Flapping flight is one of the wonders of nature and has been vastly studied by biologists and fluid dynamicists. Many artifacts that mimic biological systems have been built at different scales.
For example, we have managed to create a system that resembles the steady flapping behaviour of its biological counterpart and can fly untethered, stably up to 80 km/h in up to 5 Beaufort wind speed. This is the Robird developed at the University of Twente, which got the 2016 ERF Tech Transfer Award, and is commercially exploited by Clear Flight Solutions. Even if this technology and results are unique and recognised worldwide, we still do not fully understand flapping flight to the scientific depth needed to go even further. The Robird cannot take off on its own, cannot perch, uses symmetric flapping, steers using a number of manifolds placed on the tail and has a minimal autonomy and a restricted operation time due to power consumption. In this project I propose to gain a much deeper structured understanding of flapping flight and experimentally validate these understandings. This will be done using port-Hamiltonian (PH) system theory and its physically unifying character, which will couple fluid dynamics theory to dynamically changing surfaces and their actuation. Once models will be validated by wind tunnel tests with flow visualisation, numerical optimisation will be used to fine tune models and search for uncertain parameters. Based on these findings, artifacts will be built to validate the generated models with real systems. Based on the insight gained, a new robotic bird will be realised with unprecedented flight dexterity, able to flap asymmetrically, adapt to the flow and take off and land as birds do, in order to validate the scientific understandings.
Average Stress Drops of Southern California Earthquakes in the Context of Crustal Geophysics: Implications for Fault Zone Healing

To understand how fault healing processes affect earthquake stress drops, we search for a possible dependency of stress drops on crustal conditions and geophysical parameters. We reanalyze the stress drop values of ~60,000 earthquakes in southern California which were originally determined by Sheareret al. J Geophys Res 111:B06303, (2006) using a spectral method. We modify the dataset to include only stress drops that are derived from at least 10 spectra and with corner frequencies between 3 and 30 Hz, and correct the rupture velocity for increasing S-wave speed with depth. We see no dependence of stress drop on moment magnitude or depth, except for a small, poorly determined increase from 15 to 25 km. We use six crustal geophysics parameters to search for obvious correlations that may explain changes in the mean values of the stress drops: (1) crustal thickness, (2) isostatic gravity, (3) heat flow, (4) shear strain rate, (5) crustal stress regime, and (6) style of faulting. None of the variables reduce the scatter but most can explain up to 10–20 % variations in the mean stress drops. The geographical distribution of the grouped mean stress drops includes very high stress drops near Ridgecrest, eastern California, as well as near fault jogs within the San Andreas Fault system. Low stress drops dominate in trans-tensional regions. Heat flow and GPS-based shear strain rate estimates have the largest influence on stress drop variations. In the range of low to medium heat flow, the stress drops increase with increasing heat flow. In contrast, at high heat flow in thin crust, the stress drops decrease systematically with increasing heat flow. Increasing shear strain rate systematically correlates with decreasing stress drops. The crustal stress regime and style of faulting also influence the stress drops as demonstrated by lower stress drops for north-northeast trending principal horizontal stress and in areas of dip-slip faulting. The mean variations in stress drops with heat flow, stress regime, crustal thickness, and density can be explained in the context of fault healing (grain boundary growth) and corresponding increase in fault zone strength on time scales modulated by the tectonic shear strain rate.
Photonic integrated comb source

Data will grow tenfold by 2025 to 163 ZetaBytes. The rise in mobile video, video-on-demand, cloud and other bandwidth intensive services are putting strain on the optical communication networks that make up the internet. Laser technology is at the core of moving all of this data between users and datacentres. Data storage and processing innovations have outpaced transmission innovations leading to a data transmission bottleneck. Next generation laser technologies are needed to remove this bottleneck. Pilot Photonics has developed a disruptive laser technology that can displace the “single mode” lasers that have been used in this market for more than two decades. Our opportunity is to licence and sell our differentiated solutions into the $13BN laser market.
Known as Optical Combs, these new lasers offers the disruptive value proposition of reduced cost, footprint and power consumption, with a simultaneous increase in performance, and capacity. Pilot Photonics’ competitive advantage is its ability to generate optical combs using photonic integration. This state-of-the-art technique combines multiple optical functions on a single photonic chip, and is analogous to the development of microchips in the 1960s which combined multiple electronic functions on a single silicon chip. The use of photonic integration drives huge efficiencies in cost, footprint, power consumption and performance and Pilot Photonics has patent protection on the world’s smallest and most versatile optical comb source, making it suitable for use in long haul optical networks for the first time. This Phase 2 project will see the technology reach market acceptance. The project will enable Pilot Photonics to generate revenue of more than €50m from this product alone, within 5 years of the project start representing a >10% share of the $500m market segment. The company will create 26 new jobs, grow its portfolio of IP, and increase the competitiveness of the European Photonics industry.
Reactive Oxygen Species and Antioxidants in Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension is a devastating disorder without any available treatment strategies that satisfactorily promote the survival of patients. The identification of new therapeutic strategies to treat patients with pulmonary hypertension is warranted.Human studies have provided evidence that there is increased oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, DNA oxidation, and the depletion of small-molecule antioxidants) in patients with pulmonary hypertension. A variety of compounds with antioxidant properties have been shown to have beneficial therapeutic effects in animal models of pulmonary hypertension, possibly supporting the hypothesis that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the progression of pulmonary hypertension. Thus, understanding the molecular mechanisms of ROS actions could contribute to the development of optimal, antioxidant-based therapy for human pulmonary hypertension. One such mechanism includes action as a second messenger during cell-signaling events, leading to the growth of pulmonary vascular cells and right ventricular cells.The molecular mechanisms behind promotion of cell signaling for pulmonary vascular cell growth and right ventricular hypertrophy by ROS are not well understood. Evidence suggests that iron-catalyzed protein carbonylation may be involved.Understanding precise mechanisms of ROS actions should be useful for designing preclinical animal experiments and human clinical trials of the use of antioxidants and/or other redox compounds in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
