Peculiarities in the photochemical behavior of 1-bromo-2-hydroxynaphthalene in cetylpyridinium chloride micellar solution

Unlike the case of aqueous solution, two products are formed in the photolysis of 1-bromo-2-hydroxynaphthalene in a cetylpyridinium chloride micellar solution in the presence of sodium sulfite. These products are formed as a result of competitive steps of the primary photochemical process, the C–Br bond photodissociation and the heterolytic dissociation with elimination of the bromide anion. The bond photodissociation results in the product of bromine replacement by the sulfo group. The heterolytic dissociation affords the dimerization product. In the micellar solution, the iodide ions increase the quantum yield of the photosubstitution product due to the heavy atom effect and do not affect the quantum yield of the dimerization product. The halogenated derivatives of hydroxynaphthalene in micelles do not fluoresce in a neutral or alkaline medium.
The chlorine isotopic composition of Martian meteorites 1: Chlorine isotope composition of Martian mantle and crustal reservoirs and their interactions

The Martian meteorites record a wide diversity of environments, processes, and ages. Much work has been done to decipher potential mantle sources for Martian magmas and their interactions with crustal and surface environments. Chlorine isotopes provide a unique opportunity to assess interactions between Martian mantle-derived magmas and the crust. We have measured the Cl-isotopic composition of 17 samples that span the range of known ages, Martian environments, and mantle reservoirs. The 37Cl of the Martian mantle, as represented by the olivine-phyric shergottites, NWA 2737 (chassignite), and Shergotty (basaltic shergottite), has a low value of approximately −3.8‰. This value is lower than that of all other planetary bodies measured thus far. The Martian crust, as represented by regolith breccia NWA 7034, is variably enriched in the heavy isotope of Cl. This enrichment is reflective of preferential loss of 35Cl to space. Most basaltic shergottites (less Shergotty), nakhlites, Chassigny, and Allan Hills 84001 lie on a continuum between the Martian mantle and crust. This intermediate range is explained by mechanical mixing through impact, fluid interaction, and assimilation-fractional crystallization.
What We Can Learn from Looking at Profanity

AbstractProfanity is a common occurrence in online text. Recent studies found swearing words in over 7% of English tweets and 9% of Yahoo! Buzz messages. However, efforts in recognizing, understanding and dealing with profanity do not share resources, namely, their dataset, which imposes duplication of effort and non-comparable results.We here present a freely available dataset of 2500 messages from a popular Portuguese sports website. About 20% of the messages had profanity, thus we annotated 726 swear words, 510 of which were obfuscated by the authors. We also identified the most frequent profanities, and what methods, and combination of methods, people used to disguise their cursing.
Criminalizing Dissent: The Liberal State and the Problem of Legitimacy

While liberal-democratic states like America, Britain and Australia claim to value freedom of expression and the right to dissent, they have always actually criminalized dissent. This disposition has worsened since 9/11 and the 2008 Great Recession. This ground-breaking study shows that just as dissent involves far more than protest marches, so too liberal-democratic states have expanded the criminalization of dissent. 
Drawing on political and social theorists like Arendt, Bourdieu and Isin, the book offers a new way of thinking about politics, dissent and its criminalization relationally. Using case studies like the Occupy movement, selective refusal by Israeli soldiers, urban squatters, democratic education and violence by anti-Apartheid activists, the book highlights the many forms dissent takes along with the many ways liberal-democratic states criminalize it. The book highlights the mix of fear and delusion in play when states privilege security to protect an imagined ‘political order’ from difference and disagreement.
The book makes a major contribution to political theory, legal studies and sociology. Linking legal, political and normative studies in new ways, Watts shows that ultimately liberal-democracies rely more on sovereignty and the capacity for coercion and declarations of legal ‘states of exception’ than on liberal-democratic principles. In a time marked by a deepening crisis of democracy, the book argues dissent is increasingly valuable.

Exploring the terascale at lhc with novel highly granular calorimeters

The recent discovery of a Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva, has undoubtedly opened a portal to widely expected new physics, anticipated to manifest itself in the Tera-electron-Volt range: the Terascale. New physics is needed to understand some of the deepest mysteries of our universe, that include its composition, where dark matter and dark energy seem to comprise 95% of its energy/matter density, and its evolution from the Big Bang to today, where we see much structure and where matter dominates over antimatter, and whether we live in more dimensions than the familiar four. Substantial improvements to the current experiments at the LHC are planned, and new experiments are being proposed or discussed at future new energy frontier accelerators to tackle these scientific issues. A key element of the improved and newer generation detectors is the use of very high performance calorimeters for the measurement of the energies of particles produced in the high-energy collisions at colliders. At the upgraded LHC these must operate in an unprecedentedly challenging experimental environment. This proposal deals with a novel, yet untested, high-risk approach to calorimetry that combines state of the art techniques so far only used independently either in charged particle tracking or conventional calorimeters. New technologies will have to be developed for such a ground-breaking calorimeter. These include very fine feature size, powerful, radiation hard electronics in emerging technologies using feature sizes of 130 nm or 65 nm; low-cost silicon sensors in the emerging technology using 8” silicon wafers, also in Europe; environmentally-friendly cooling technologies using liquid carbondioxide; high performance and fast decision making logic using new more powerful FPGA, all to be produced at an industrial scale.

A Traffic Congestion Study of Unsignalized Intersections along Yacapin-Capt. Vicente Roa, Yacapin-Osmena, J.R. Borja-Capt. Vicente Roa and J.R. Borja-Osmeña Streets in Cagayan de Oro City

Today, traffic congestion is one of the most challenging and complicated problem in Cagayan de Oro City thus, this study aims to evaluate the congestion issue in Cogon Market, particularly, the traffic performance along the unsignalized intersections that include the roads of Yacapin, Capt. Vicente Roa, Osmena and J.R. Borja streets. The methodology involves data collection of three variables: vehicle traffic flow (i.e Level of Service), pedestrian (i.e. walkability), and parking (i.e. parking demand & supply). Preliminary results revealed that traffic congestion were primarily due to: absence of traffic signals (i.e., vehicle and pedestrian), poor condition of pavement markings (i.e. parking and crosswalk), inadequate parking facilities, obstruction of vendors along the sidewalk, inadequate pedestrian facilities, and poor traffic enforcement. Moreover, Level of Service (LOS) of roads along these intersections ranges between LOS E (i.e., unstable flow) and LOS F (i.e., forced/breakdown flow). Thus, a traffic management scheme is highly recommended.

Multiple Layer Displacement Mapping with Lossless Image Compression

AbstractWe introduce a lossless compression and rendering technique for a multiple layer displacement map. Compressed data are handled in GPU for real-time rendering. A multiple layer displacement map is useful in representing general objects which cannot be represented by a single layer displacement map. Multiple layer displacement mapping methods can provide realistic objects in digital content such as 3D games and films for relatively low costs. For this, we have to use many layers to represent high quality object details. However, in a multiple layer displacement map, the first layer has the most data and the lower layers have less data. Therefore, lower layers waste data space, because the same space is allocated for every layer. We only store data used for rendering and make an address map to refer to the stored data. We also compress additional information such as normal vectors and diffuse colors. The main advantage is that all the compressed data share just one address map, and compression efficiency will improve when we use more layers. Since we compress the maps without any data loss, the proposed technique provides the same quality as rendering with the original maps.KeywordsDisplacement mappingLossless image compressionReal-time rendering
Greenhouse gas emissions from global production and use of nitrogen synthetic fertilisers in agriculture

Abstract The global agri-food system relies on synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilisation to increase crop yields, yet the use of synthetic N fertiliser is unsustainable. In this study we estimate global greenhouse (GHG) emissions due to synthetic N fertiliser manufacture, transportation, and field use in agricultural systems. By developing the largest field-level dataset available on N 2 O soil emissions we estimate national, regional and global N 2 O direct emission factors (EFs), while we retrieve from the literature the EFs for indirect N 2 O soil emissions, and for N fertiliser manufacturing and transportation. We find that the synthetic N fertiliser supply chain was responsible for estimated emissions of 1.13 GtCO 2 e in 2018, representing 10.6% of agricultural emissions and 2.1% of global GHG emissions. Synthetic N fertiliser production accounted for 38.8% of total synthetic N fertiliser-associated emissions, while field emissions accounted for 58.6% and transportation accounted for the remaining 2.6%. The top four emitters together, China, India, USA and EU28 accounted for 62% of the total. Historical trends reveal the great disparity in total and per capita N use in regional food production. Reducing overall production and use of synthetic N fertilisers offers large mitigation potential and in many cases realisable potential to reduce emissions.
Semiconductor storage device performing self-refresh operation in an optimal cycle

A semiconductor storage device has a leak-monitoring capacitor connected to a bit line pre-charge potential generator, and a pre-charging transistor for charging one end of the leak-monitoring capacitor with a first potential (Vcc). The bit line pre-charge potential generator discharges from the leak-monitoring capacitor an amount of electric charges corresponding to a leak generated at a bit line pre-charge potential line which is connected with bit lines. A refresh timer circuit generates a clock signal in a cycle corresponding to a time in which the potential of the one end of the leak-monitoring capacitor decreases from the first potential (Vcc) to a second potential.
Development of an animal frostbite injury model using the Goettingen-Minipig

A standardized reproducible animal model is desirable to gain a better understanding in the pathophysiology of frostbite injury and to develop novel therapies. Little has been studied about frostbite injury models. The depth and extent were not always being controllable and consistent. Therefore, we developed a frostbite injury model using the Göttingen Minipigs.42 frostbite injuries were inflicted on the abdomen of seven minipigs using an aluminium bar (300g, circular with a radius of 1cm) frozen with liquid nitrogen to -196°C. The bar was applied for 1, 3, 6, 12, 30 and 60s. Five hours after injury biopsies were performed and evaluated by the presence of denatured collagen, blood vessels, follicular epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells.A large spectrum of frostbite injuries was obtained ranging from superficial, superficial partial, deep partial to full thickness. The depth of injury in the sets of frostbites was highly consistent (Pearson correlation ranged from r=0.89 to 0.94).We described a simple, inexpensive and safe swine frostbite model. The accurate reproducibility of the depth of the frostbite injuries allows researchers to accurately plan frostbite studies.
Sumoylation and other ubiquitin-like post-translational modifications in plants

Post-translational modifications diversify proteome activity to mediate complex hierarchical regulatory processes that are crucial to eukaryotic cell function. Protein modification by Ub (ubiquitin) and Ubls (ubiquitin-like proteins) in plants, as in yeast and metazoans, is necessary for numerous cellular and developmental processes and for the genetic reprogramming that occurs in response to hormonal stimuli, host-pathogen interaction-related stimuli and environmental stimuli. Ub and Ubl modifications, such as sumoylation, facilitate molecular interaction with specific substrates. Recent evidence has permitted inference of the mechanisms by which Ubl modifications regulate physiological processes such as cell-cycle progression, abscisic acid signaling, development, and biotic and abiotic stress responses. This review presents our current understanding of sumoylation and other Ubl conjugation processes in plant biology.
Implementing Alpine Governance Mechanisms of the European Strategy for the Alpine Region

The AlpGovs’ main objective is to support effective and efficient EUSALP implementation in a systematic transnational approach through designing and testing appropriate governance structures and mechanisms mainly on the level of Action Groups (AGs), at the same time to create synergies with the other EUSALP implementing bodies General Assembly and Executive Board and further institutional actors in alpine policy, thus directly addressing Specific Objective 11.1 of the ASP. _x000D_
_x000D_
AlpGov addresses tasks of the EUSALP AGs as outlined in the recent EC paper on EUSALP governance, particularly developing actions and projects which help to implement the Action Plan, clarifying appropriate funding schemes, facilitating policy discussion by involving of relevant stakeholders, managing knowledge and flow of information internally and externally, creating dialogue and visibility and ensuring to respect cross-cutting issues and horizontal aspects in policy making. AlpGov shall support these tasks by establishing a joint transnational EUSALP governance framework: Setting up of harmonized mechanisms to run the single AG including joint participation models for the civil society, developing a joint knowledge management (technically by using the same digital platforms, content wise by providing, using and capitalizing harmonized data and information also for monitoring, reporting and evaluation purposes), mapping of institutional frameworks, actors and funding schemes for projects and actions as a basis to prepare policy decisions and to further develop policies, identifying and promoting project/actions which have high leverage effects and help creating ownership and awareness. AlpGov will be the frontrunner in establishing overall governance structures for European Macroregional Strategies (MRS) with the help of a transnational European Territorial Cooperation programme and has therefore high potential to produce long term effects and to serve as a blue print for other MRS.

Abstract For the purposes of reducing the non-uniformity of images in LED display panel further, propose an algorithm. First, analyze the causes of the problem which images in LED display panel have shortcomings of the non-uniformity of images. Second, introduce the development course of the correction techniques which are used to reduce the nonuniformity of images. Simultaneously, point out the ground that location correction must be carried out. Third, for the example of a LED display panel which is spliced by modules, construct the algorithm model. Forth, describe the realization steps of the algorithm in accordance with this constructed model. Finally, this algorithm is implemented in a LED display panel, whose resolution is 640×480. Experimental results show that this algorithm is able to reduce the non-uniformity of images obviously.
3D architectures of mxenes for terahertz applications

The terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum finds application in different areas such as security checks, biology, detection of drugs and explosives, imaging and astronomy. The state-of-the-art THz detectors lack high sensitivity, fast operation, and portability. The proposed work will explore the possibility of significantly advancing the THz radiation detection process by using 2D MXene materials combining advanced developments in two frontier research areas, 3D printing of 2D materials with dedicated investigation on their ultrafast far-field and near-field THz spectroscopic properties. MXenes are nanometer thick conductive sheets and their interaction with the THz radiation can be strengthened by arranging them into a 3D pattern. To address the concept of novel devices made of MXene sheets with enhanced light-matter interaction, I propose to develop 3D printing technology able to create a sample interaction area with specifically arranged 2D sheets in 3D structures exhibiting complex percolation pathways, where all the atoms will be exposed to the THz light. This will allow maximum photon absorption in the entire photoactive assembly and thereby maximum photocurrent generation. 

The project will answer questions of key intrinsic parameters of layered MXenes (attached functional groups, doping, defects) and of the role of the 3D structuring for optimizing the THz response and, ultimately, to what extent the 3D printing of 2D MXenes can fill the THz gap in the development of novel devices.
Herbs Recognition Based on Android using OpenCV

Herbs are used in traditional medicine. There are so many herbs are spread across the world, it is difficult to memorize it all. This paper describes an android application to recognize herbs by their leaf characteristics (shape, veins, and keypoints). Shape and veins of leaves are recognized by Invariant Moment Method as the feature extraction. City Block Distance used to calculate the distance between the features. Whereas for detection and keypoints extraction using Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF on OpenCV library. This keypoints distance calculation using Brute-Force Hamming. Matching is done by calculating the shortest distance between test image and reference image. If the result is less than or equal to threshold then image is match. Experiment result show this application can achieve 79% of success rate by using keypoints. This result is influenced by glossy leaf surface, so there is many reflected light that become noise.

Nanoparticles with switchable shells for virus sensing and inhibition

This proposal concerns Reversible Self-assembled Monolayers (rSAMs) as dynamic nanoparticle shells for multivalent interactions at biointerfaces. Current drug design and diagnostics are exploring the multivalency concept, i.e. binding of biological targets via multiple weak interactions. In contrast to classical drug design relying on high-affinity inhibitors, this relies on dendritic architectures featuring a high density of ligands, e.g. saccharides, capable of simultaneously interacting with biointerfacial receptors. This strategy can be used to inhibit the virus entry by blocking the receptor at the early stages of infection and the concept is being explored as antiviral drugs and in virus sensing. However, in current systems ligands are covalently fixed on the particle surface. This prevents control over the ligand distribution and composition which compromises selectivity and affinity of the interactions. rSAMs are pH-switchable versions of thiol-SAMs. They are tunable with respect to the nature of the head group and layer order and stability while featuring pH responsiveness and the dynamic nature of non-covalently build assemblies e.g. lipid bilayers. Ligand decorated rSAMs therefore feature strongly enhanced affinities for multivalent targets. 
The main aims of this proposal are:
1) to investigate the use of rSAMs as dynamic nanoparticle shells for multivalent inhibition of viruses and 2) to assess such systems as nanoplasmonic sensors for antibody-free ultrasensitive, robust and rapid in situ virus detection.
Under 1) we will select model pathogens, e.g. Ebola and prepare a series of saccharide terminated amidines for the first generation dynamic shell nanoparticles.Their efficiency will be assessed in infection assays using artificial virus particles
Under 2) we will develop influenza virus sensors with subtyping capability within human and animal virus strains. The sensors will be validated with respect to benchmark assays.
