Study on Treating Thiram and Ziram Wastewater by Improved Electric-Fenton Process

Thiram and Ziram wastewater is a type of pesticide wastewater with high COD, high ammonia nitrogen and unpleasant odor. In this paper, Fenton, iron-carbon, micro-electrolysis, Electro-Fenton and other methods were used to treat theThiram and Ziram wastewater, the Electro-Fenton process is best. And the improved Electro-Fenton plant was used treat wastewater to explore the impact of pH, current density, packing ratio and amount of filler on the removal efficiency of COD. The optimal operating conditions with low processing cost and high removal efficiency were determined. The results showed that the COD removal efficiency of the modified Electro-Fenton process for the treatment of the ThiramandZiram wastewater was increased from 52.96% to 75.62%.Based on the result, the higher current density and the more the filler content, the higher the removal efficiency. The optimumH is 3, optimumiron-carbon ratio is 1 to 2.
Novel stromal cell therapy for diabetic kidney disease

Type 2 diabetes will affect >500 million adults by 2040 and its secondary complications will generate enormous socioeconomic costs - in particular, diabetic kidney disease (DKD), which is already the most common cause of chronic kidney disease. DKD is associated with greatly increased mortality and frequently progresses to end stage renal failure. Pharmacotherapy, dialysis and transplantation represent the mainstay treatments for DKD but are costly and provide only limited protection against adverse outcomes. Mesenchymal Stromal Cell (MSC) therapy is a promising approach to halting the progression of DKD toward end-stage renal failure and may also have ancillary
benefits in Type 2 diabetes. In preliminary research, we have demonstrated that a single dose of MSC simultaneously improves kidney function (glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria) as well as hyperglycaemia in animals with DKD. NEPHSTROM will conduct a multi-centre, placebo-controlled clinical trial of a novel MSC therapy for stabilization of progressive DKD, leading to superior clinical outcomes and long-term socioeconomic benefit. A
key enabler for this trial is a novel MSC population (CD362+MSC, trade name ORBCEL-M) which delivers higher purity and improved characterisation compared to conventional plastic-adherent MSC. The NEPHSTROM Phase 1b/2a clinical trial will investigate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of a single intravenous infusion of allogeneic ORBCEL-M versus placebo in adults with progressive DKD. NEPHSTROM investigators will also determine the bio-distribution, mechanisms of action, immunological effects and economic impacts associated with ORBCEL-M therapy for DKD. This research will critically inform the optimal design of subsequent Phase 3 trials of ORBCEL-M. Stabilising progressive DKD through NEPHSTROM’s next-generation MSC therapy will reduce the high all-cause mortality and end-stage renal failure risk in people with this chronic non-communicable disease

Toward GPU on CUDA for Simulating Non-hydrostatic Wave Model

The goal of this paper is to calculate the performance of the parallel scheme of non-hydrostatic Gravitational Surface Wave using GPU based on CUDA. Here, Navier-Stokes equations used as a model which is simplified by removing non-linear and friction terms. In this paper, simple finite different method is used as a numerical method. The discretization of pressure, vertical and horizontal velocity variables uses Arakawa C-Grid which leads to solve Poisson equation. The numerical simulation of propagating waves generated by surface pressure is given. The parallel computing is shown satisfied. Using large number of grids (N <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">x</sub> =1024,N <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">y</sub> =512), serial and parallel CPU time are observed 20197.66 and 6521.85 seconds respectively. Therefore the usage of parallel computing in this simulation produces speedup approximately 3 times of serial computing.
Versuchung und Widerstand in „A Máquina do Mundo“ („Die Weltmaschine“) von Carlos Drummond de Andrade

Der Aufsatz geht den vielfältigen Beziehungen nach, die Drummonds Langgedicht „A Máquina do Mundo“, das gemeinhin als ein Höhepunkt in der modernen lateinamerikanischen Lyrik angesehen wird, zu großen Werken der Weltliteratur aufweist, vor allem zu Camões‘ Lusiaden und, in der Forschung bis jetzt wenig beachtet, zu Goethes Faust. Darüber hinaus wird versucht, das Gedicht – und zwar aufgrund seiner faustischen Anlage –mit zwei der verheerendsten ökologischen Katastrophen in der jüngsten Geschichte Brasiliens in Zusammenhang zu bringen; beide verursacht von einem Bergwerkkonzern, gegen dessen umweltzerstörende Aktivitäten der Dichter einen langjährigen Kampf geführt hat.
INVESTMENT CASTING USING SEALABLE PRESSURE CAP

A method for investment casting as well as apparatus for investment casting wherein a gas permeable ceramic investment mold (12) is disposed in a casting chamber (10) and filled with melt to be solidified via a mold melt inlet, such as for example a mold pour cup (12b) adapted to receive the melt from a melting crucible (54) in the casting chamber. After the melt is cast into the hot investment mold in the vacuum casting chamber, a pressure cap (40) is positioned in sealing engagement with the mold melt inlet, and gas pressure is introduced through the pressure cap to provide selective or local gas pressure on the melt in the mold without pressure cracking or other damage to the relatively fragile investment mold, while the casting chamber is maintained under relative vacuum or a different pressure from that in the mold.
Numerical Simulation of Solidification of Work Roll in Centrifugal Casting Process

A program on the solidification process of horizontal centrifugal casting coupled with eutectic carbides segregation has been developed in this paper. Due to the geometrical features of work roll, a cylindrical coordinate system was used. The temperature field of the outer layer at the end of filling process was imported as the initial temperature condition for the solidification process. The model of eutectic carbides segregation caused by different densities between eutectic MC and the molten steel was coupled in the program. The temperature field of the outer layer of work roll during horizontal centrifugal casting process was investigated. Results show that the outer layer has a sandwich shape solid fraction manner. Results also indicate that the segregation of eutectic MC is quite severe during centrifugal casting process. It forms four zones of different content of carbides in radial direction. The simulated results of MC carbides segregation phenomenon agree with the experimental observations.
INTERNALLY-HEATED THERMAL AND EXTERNALLY-COOL PHOTOVOLTAIC CASCADE SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM FOR FULL SOLAR SPECTRUM UTILIZATION

A single-stack, solar power receiver comprising both a thermal absorber layer and a photovoltaic cell layer. The stack includes an aerogel layer, that is optically transparent and thermally insulating ("OTTI"); a spectrally selective high thermal conductivity ("SSTC") thermal absorber layer; a bottom OTTI layer; and a PV cell layer. The SSTC layer includes a set of fins that substantially blocks solar radiation absorption in the band where PV cells are most sensitive. Photons with energies above or below this band block range are absorbed by the fins and the absorbed heat is conducted to pipes in the fin structure carrying a heated thermal working fluid to heat storage. Photons with energy in the band block range are reflected by the SSTC fins to the PV cell layer. The bottom OTTI aerogel layer keeps the PV cell operating near ambient temperature. The PV cell converts incident solar radiation to electrical energy.
Efficacy and safety of active silicone oil removal through a 23-gauge transconjunctival cannula using an external vacuum pump.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of active removal of silicone oil with low and high viscosity through a 23-gauge transconjunctival cannula using an external vacuum pump.This study was conducted as a prospective, interventional case series. A total of 22 eyes of 21 patients [1000 centistokes (cSt): 17 eyes, 5700 cSt: 5 eyes] were included in this study. All patients underwent active silicone oil removal via the entire lumen of a 23-gauge microcannula with suction pressure of a 650-700 mm Hg vacuum using an external vacuum pump. A tubing adaptor from the Total Plus Pak(®) (Alcon, Fort Worth, USA) was used to join the microcannula and silicone vacuum tube connected to an external vacuum pump. Main outcome measures were mean removal time, changes of intraocular pressure (IOP) and visual acuity, and intraoperative and postoperative complications.Mean removal time (min) was 1.49±0.43 for 1000 cSt and 7.12±1.27 for 5700 cSt. The IOP was 18.57±7.48 mm Hg at baseline, 11.68±4.55 mm Hg at day 1 postoperatively (P<0.001), and 15.95±4.92, 16.82±3.81, 17.41±3.50, and 17.09±3.01 mm Hg after one week, one month, three months, and six months, respectively. All patients showed improved or stabilized visual acuity. There was no occurrence of intraoperative or postoperative complications during the follow up period.This technique for active removal of silicone oil through a 23-gauge cannula using an external vacuum pump is fast, effective, and safe as well as economical for silicone oil with both low and high viscosity in all eyes with pseudophakia, aphakia, or phakia.

INDUSTRIAL ROBBOT UNIT HAVING A CURRENT CONTROL FUNCTION FOR A DRIVE MOTOR.

The industrial robot unit includes an input-adding circuit (41) for which are supplied velocity command, velocity feed back, current command and current feed back input. A switching circuit (23) selectively switches the velocity command input, the current command input and the current feed back input according to a switching command signal, and an operational amplifier (38) is supplied with the switched signal. Thus, a position control and a current control are selectively practised according to the switching command from a robot control device (22). The position control enables a held article to be moved to a desired preset position and the current control enables driving motors (Mr,Me, Mz) to be driven at a constant output torque so as to push the held article to another article at a constant torque for insuring safe operation.
Family-based psychoeducation and care ambassador intervention to improve glycemic control in youth with type 1 diabetes: a randomized trial

Youth with type 1 diabetes frequently do not achieve glycemic targets. We aimed to improve glycemic control with a Care Ambassador (CA) and family-focused psychoeducational intervention.In a 2-yr, randomized, clinical trial, we compared three groups: (i) standard care, (ii) monthly outreach by a CA, and (iii) monthly outreach by a CA plus a quarterly clinic-based psychoeducational intervention. The psychoeducational intervention provided realistic expectations and problem-solving strategies related to family diabetes management. Data on diabetes management and A1c were collected, and participants completed surveys assessing parental involvement in management, diabetes-specific family conflict, and youth quality of life (QOL). The primary outcome was A1c at 2 yr; secondary outcomes included maintaining parent involvement and avoiding deterioration in glycemic control.We studied 153 youth (56% female, median age 12.9 yr) with type 1 diabetes (mean A1c 8.4 ± 1.4%). There were no differences in A1c across treatment groups. Among youth with suboptimal baseline A1c ≥ 8%, more youth in the psychoeducation group maintained or improved their A1c and maintained or increased parent involvement than youth in the other two groups combined (77 vs. 52%, p = 0.03; 36 vs. 11%, p = 0.01, respectively) without negative impact on youth QOL or increased diabetes-specific family conflict.No differences in A1c were detected among the three groups at 2 yr. The psychoeducational intervention was effective in maintaining or improving A1c and parent involvement in youth with suboptimal baseline glycemic control.
Thinking about eco-energy in public buildings as a factor in the prosperity of tomorrow

"This project is part of the plan PAYS SAGES": The ECOGETIQUES project intends to promote the energy efficiency of public buildings by using local eco-materials and it plans the realisation of pilot construction sites. PAYS-ECOGETIQUES anticipated the revision of the European directive on energy performance of buildings (EPB) which took shape in 2018 and in application by the end of 2019 for public buildings. The project aims to think of eco-energy in public buildings as a factor of prosperity of the Franco-Italian sectors concerned. PAYS-ECOGETIQUES intends to build on the best practices already implemented to accelerate the energy transition in communities.

The PITER area comprises a long coastal segment extending over the French and Italian territories, the southern Piedmont hills system, and the last foothills of the Maritime Alps, acting as a junction. The partnership, made up of administrations working at the departmental or regional level, universities and chambers of commerce, wants to establish, on the territory, a form of public-private governance on several levels. The objective is to support competitiveness and sustainable economic development within the territory, through the enhancement of one of its strong points: the landscape, as a synthesis of identity, fruit of nature and men's work. Projects contribute to the strategy, by combining landscape and safeguarding (OS 

1.2 - energy redevelopment of built heritage), management (OS 

2.2 - building resilience and risk prevention policies), development (OS 

3.1 - creation of sustainable tourism products, intended for a responsible public, with high spending capacity) and training (OS 

4.2 - creation of specialists in project-related subjects, able to provide support to the socio-economic operators of the territory). The synergy between the coastal Liguria and PACA systems and the Langhe and Roero hills system makes it possible to jointly develop strategies with the aim of maintaining the tourist positioning of these areas on an international scale.
Orientation control of epitaxial tetragonal Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3 thin films grown on (100)KTaO3 substrates by tuning the Zr/(Zr + Ti) ratio

Pulsed metal organic chemical vapor deposition is used to epitaxially grow 30-nm thick tetragonal Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3 thin films on (100) KTaO3 single crystal substrates. The in-plane misfit strain, which is controlled by the Zr/(Zr+Ti) ratio of Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3 thin films, tunes the film orientation. When Zr/(Zr+Ti) = 0, which leads to the tensile strain from the substrate, a perfectly (100)-oriented film is formed, whereas when Zr/(Zr+Ti) = 0.45, which leads to the compressive strain from the substrate, a completely (001)-oriented film is realized. The volume fraction of the (001)-oriented domain almost linearly increases as the Zr/(Zr+Ti) ratio increases for films with (100) and (001) mixed orientations; this change in the volume fraction can be explained by considering the average lattice parameter matching between the Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3 thin film and the KTaO3 substrate. These results demonstrate a method to systematically control the film orientation using the Zr/(Zr+Ti) ratio to tune the in-plane strain of Pb...
Characterising pre-preg and non-crimp-fabric composite single lap bonded joints

Abstract Pre-preg and non-crimp-fabric composite single lap bonded joints were manufactured and investigated to characterise the bond quality and static failure behaviour. A two-part epoxy adhesive was employed to bond composite laminates. The composite panels, which were treated with low pressure oxygen plasma, were bonded in a hot drape former and then cut to manufacture single lap bonded joints. The joints were examined using X-ray microtomography to evaluate the bond quality achieved in the hot drape former. Quasi-static tensile tests were conducted on the pre-preg and non-crimp-fabric composite single lap bonded joints. The fracture surfaces were examined using optical and scanning electron microscopy. The static failure behaviour and failure patterns observed in the two joint types were compared and discussed.
Inheriting the Past : Exploring Historical Consciousness Across Generations

Despite significant research into the meaning and operation of historical consciousness, there is still much to be understood about its hereditary function. For example, what does historical inheritance look like? How does it influence our individual and collective historical consciousnesses? And, just as critically, what happens to historical consciousness when history is deliberately withheld, when that inheritance is suspended or severed? As a way into some of these questions about passing on the past, this paper draws on a qualitative research project into historical consciousness in Australia to explore how so-called ‘ordinary people’ see themselves as part of a historical narrative. It reveals that historical inheritance is critical to our historical consciousness, and it notes the profound impact of forgetting on participants, raising important questions about the role of ‘silence’ and ‘absence’ in the formation of historical consciousness.
Water treatment and reuse technology based on constant water quality monitoring thanks to multi-censoring and ai-deep learning software for the food industry

Every year in Europe, 3,6 Gm3 of fresh water is used for the food industry. This represent a cost of up to 14,5 G€/year considering both cost of fresh water and water disposal. Depending on the water quality used to wash and process food products, harmful bacteria (e.g. E.Coli, Salmonella, Listeria) can be rapidly contaminate food and expose consumers to serious illnesses. On the other side, around 88 Mtons of food waste are generated annually in Europe with associated costs estimated at 143G€ and carbon footprint of 170Mt of CO2. Current solutions for water recycling are either using old technics such as settling ponds (80% of the market) or recycling industrial systems (20% of the market). They show several important inconvenient such as high ground footprint, low water recovery rate, low contaminant removal rate, high energy consumption, non-automatized system, etc. FOODWATERH2020 is the first fully automatized and compact solution which monitor constantly the water quality thanks to its highly precise multi sensors combined with an embodied IA software based on Deep Learning Technology which allow to: 1) recover up to 99% of food process water, 2) Reduce up to 10 times current costs of food process water (down to 0,40-0,80€/m3), 3) Remove up to 99% of water contaminant such as non-systemic pesticides (from food surface), pathogens, clay and sand, 4) provide a 100% reliability on food safety by always respecting food standards and eliminating food returns to our clients, 5) increase up to 54% the shelf life of food products, 6) Reduce by 30-35% the energy footprint compared to current compact solutions and 7) Reduce the ground footprint up to 20 times compare to ponding systems. VAM WaterTech B.V. (Nederland) is a well-established engineering SME founded in 1995 with an annual turnover of 5,9 M€ (in 2018 – forecasting 6,6M€ for 2019), 19,5 FTE employees and with an orderbook full until April 2020.
