From non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics to the structure and evolution of protoplanetary discs

Circumstellar discs are the birthplaces of planets. They form around young protostars and dissipate in a few million years. Modern submillimeter and optical telescopes such as ALMA and VLT/SPHERE are now able
to resolve thin structures in the bulk of these objects, such as rings, crescents, spirals and winds, probing the very origin of planetary systems similar to our own. Our current understanding of these discs relies on a very crude modelling of a hypothetic magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence thought to play an essential role in the evolution and structure of these systems. However, there is now compelling theoretical and observational evidence that these discs are weakly turbulent, if not laminar, because of their low ionisation fraction and thus poor coupling to the magnetic field. This suggests that subtle MHD processes are driving the dynamics of these objects. 

Moreover, my recent theoretical breakthroughs demonstrate that these gaseous discs are subject to self-organisation and magneto-thermal winds. These processes play a key role for the disc as they can control its radial structure and evolution. I propose that computing global non-ideal MHD models from massively parallel numerical simulations will shed a new light on these processes, connecting the long-term evolution of these discs to the formation of large scale structures seen by ALMA and SPHERE. We expect MHDiscs to provide reliable global evolution models by coupling gas dynamics to dust and irradiation. These models will be used to predict discriminant observables of the processes I propose, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the formation of planetary systems.
Impact of a New Gender-Specific Definition for Binge Drinking on Prevalence Estimates for Women

Binge drinking accounts for more than half of the 79,000 deaths due to excessive drinking in the U.S. each year. In 2006, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) lowered the threshold for defining binge drinking among women from ≥5 drinks to ≥4 drinks per occasion, in accordance with national recommendations.To assess changes in binge-drinking prevalence among women.The relative and absolute change in binge drinking among U.S. adult women was assessed using pooled BRFSS data from the 2 years before (2004-2005) and after (2006-2007) the implementation of the new gender-specific definition. Analyses were conducted in 2008-2009.Binge-drinking prevalence among women increased 2.6 percentage points (from 7.3% in 2004-2005 to 9.9% in 2006-2007), a 35.6% relative increase. The percentage of women who reported consuming exactly 4 drinks in 2006 (3.6%) was similar to the increase in the prevalence of binge drinking among women that was observed from 2005 to 2006 (absolute change=2.9 percentage points).The new gender-specific definition of binge drinking significantly increased the identification of women drinking at dangerous levels. The change in prevalence among women was primarily due to the change in the definition and not to actual changes in drinking behavior. The new gender-specific definition of binge drinking can increase the usefulness of this measure for public health surveillance and support the planning and implementation of effective prevention strategies (e.g., increasing alcohol excise taxes).
Money, Bargaining, and Risk Sharing

We investigate the dual role of money as a self-insurance device and a means of payment when perfect risk sharing is not possible, and when the two roles of money are disentangled. We use a variant of Lagos–Wright (2005) where agents face a risk in the centralized market (CM): in the decentralized market (DM) money’s main role is as a means of payment, while in the CM it is as a self-insurance device. We show that state-contingent inflation rates can improve agents’ ability to self-insure in the CM, thereby improving the terms of trade in the DM. We then characterize the optimal monetary policy.
Ultrasound imaging velocimetry: Toward reliable wall shear stress measurements

Abstract Ultrasound Imaging Velocimetry, or particle image velocimetry applied to ultrasound data, has received an increasing interest in recent years. In particular, it shows great promise to obtain non-invasive, in vivo hemodynamic information. Before the technique can be used in a clinical setting, the limitations and accuracy need to be addressed. In this study we validate the technique in vitro using contrast-enhanced imaging and demonstrate that data processing needs to be done with care to avoid biased measurements. In particular, bias toward integer displacements is much more prominent than in conventional particle image velocimetry. This is especially relevant for wall shear stress measurements, as velocities near the wall will be underestimated. A remedy is provided by using an alternative displacement estimator. Finally, preliminary results for the in vivo measurement in a rabbit abdominal aorta are presented.
Analysis of The Heat Island Phenomenon in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract: Urban Heat Island phenomenon (UHI) is one of the city microclimate phenomenon that mostly hit many big cities in the World, including Makassar, Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the phenomenon of UHI and UHII in Makassar and the surrounding areas. The method used in this study is the analysis of primary data through measurements taken directly to the varied station locations. The measurements are determined by purposive sampling toward the variety of different land uses. The measurements were taken at 11:00 am until 1:00 pm Central Indonesian Time (WITA) and at night from 09.00 to 11.00 pm. The results showed that the mean temperature was 31.29°C during the day and 27.4°C at night. Spatially, the day time showed that the high temperatures (32 to 35°C) are generally located in the downtown areas which are crowded with buildings such as residential, offices and shops. Meanwhile, a lower temperature (29 to 31°C) is generally located in countrysides or outside the city in the form of green areas and open land. The results show that a fairly high temperature causes the comfort of the city the temperatures reduced. Therefore, handle UHI phenomenon needs to be done in an integrated and sustainable
Evaluating US Fuel Economy Standards in a Model with Producer and Household Heterogeneity

This paper employs an empirically estimated model to study the equilibrium effects of an increase in the US corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards. I identify and model heterogeneity across firms and find that the profit impacts of CAFE fall almost entirely on domestic producers. The welfare analyses consider the simultaneous household decision of vehicle and miles traveled, allowing direct comparison with a gasoline tax. Finally, I consider dynamic impacts in the used car market. I find these comprise nearly half the gross welfare cost of CAFE and fall disproportionately on low-income households. Contrary to previous results, the overall welfare costs are regressive. (JEL H24, L51, L62)
Three-Dimensional Electron Density from Tomographic Analysis of LASCO-C2 Images of the K-Corona Total Brightness

We present the first quantitative three-dimensional (3D) tomographic reconstructions of electron density from coronagraph measurements of the K-corona’s total brightness (B) made by LASCO-C2 on SOHO. This is possible because new calibrations of the LASCO-C2 images in both polarized brightness (pB) and B have now been made for the entire mission. The B and pB reconstructions are compared, and the differences are explained in terms of line of sight weighting functions in Thomson scattering. We conclude that the LASCO-C2 B archive, which is vastly larger than the pB archive, will be a very valuable resource for determining the 3D electron density throughout the SOHO mission which started taking data in 1996.
Strategic optimisation of biomass-based energy supply chains for sustainable mobility

Abstract The identification of alternative and sustainable energy sources has been one of the fundamental research goals of the last two decades, and the transport sector plays a key role in this challenge. Electric cars and biofuel fed vehicles may contribute to tackle this formidable issue. According to this perspective, a multi-echelon supply chain is here investigated considering biomass cultivation, transport, conversion into bioethanol or bioelectricity, distribution, and final usage in alternative bifuel (ethanol and petrol) and electric vehicles. Multiperiod and spatially explicit features are introduced in a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) modelling framework where economic (in terms of Net Present Value) and environmental (in terms of Greenhouse Gases emissions) objectives are simultaneously taken into account. The first and second generation bioethanol production supply chain is matched with a biopower production supply chain assessing multiple technologies. Both corn grain and stover are considered as biomass sources. In the environmental analysis, the impact on emissions caused by indirect Land Use Change (iLUC) effects is also assessed. Results will show the efficacy of the methodology at providing stakeholders with a quantitative tool to optimise the economic and environmental performance of different supply chain configurations.
Statistical evaluation of thin-layer drying of banana.

Drying of food materials is a complex process of simultaneous heat and mass transfer within dried material and from its surface to the surroundings, caused by a number of transport mechanisms. There are several different methods of describing the complex simultaneous heat and moisture transport processes within drying material. Thin-layer drying models are important tools in mathematical modeling of drying processes. In scientific literature generally for evaluation of thin-layer models, that use approximation of experimental drying data, the values of the coefficient of determination (R2), correlation coefficient (r), reduced chi-square, root mean square error (RMSE), and mean bias error (MBE) are the most common criteria to select the best model. In this paper one approach for selection of a thin-layer drying model based on serial statistical criteria was proposed. Fresh banana were used in this study. The experimental data set of thin-layer drying kinetics of banana slices at four drying air temperatures (40, 50, 60 and 70 0C) and three drying air velocities (1, 2 and 3 ms-1) were obtained on the experimental setup, designed to imitate an industrial convective dryer. The experimental data of drying kinetic of banana slices were fitted to twenty four thin-layer mathematical models by means of indirect non-linear regression analysis. For each model and data set, the statistical performance index was calculated and models were ranked afterwards. After that, several statistical rejection criteria were checked. The performed statistical analysis shows that the Modified Henderson-Pabis model gives the best results for approximation of experimental drying data. The single statistical criterion cannot be used to select the thin-layer drying model. The model must always be chosen based on multiple statistical criteria.
STXBP1 mutations cause not only Ohtahara syndrome but also West syndrome-Result of Japanese cohort study

We performed STXBP1 mutation analyses in 86 patients with various types of epilepsies, including 10 patients with OS, 43 with West syndrome, 2 with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, 12 with symptomatic generalized epilepsy, 14 with symptomatic partial epilepsy, and 5 with other undetermined types of epilepsy. In all patients, the etiology was unknown, but ARX and CDKL5 mutations were negative in all cases. All coding exons of STXBP1 were analyzed by direct-sequencing. Two de novo nucleotide alterations of STXBP1 were identified in two patients with Ohtahara and West syndrome, respectively. No de novo or deleterious mutations in STXBP1 were found in the remaining 84 patients with various types of symptomatic epilepsies. This is the first case report showing that STXBP1 mutations caused West syndrome from the onset of epilepsy. STXBP1 analysis should be considered as an etiology of symptomatic West syndrome without explainable cause.

Structure–activity relationships in hydroxy-2,3-diarylxanthone antioxidants. Fast kinetics spectroscopy as a tool to evaluate the potential for antioxidant activity in biological systems

A structure-activity relationship has been established for eight hydroxy-2,3-diarylxanthones (XH) bearing hydroxy groups on the two aryl rings. One-electron oxidation by superoxide radical-anions (˙O(2)(-)) and ˙Trp radicals as well as reaction with ˙CCl(3)O(2) and ˙CHCl(2)O(2) radicals demonstrates that two OH groups are required for efficient antioxidant reactivity in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles. Hydroxy groups at the meta and para positions on either of the two phenyl rings confer enhanced reactivity, but XH bearing an OH at the para position of either phenyl ring is unreactive. While oxidation is favoured by OH in both meta and para positions of 2-aryl xanthone substituents, addition of a third and/or fourth OH enhances electron-donating capacity. In Cu(2+)-induced lipid peroxidation of human LDL, the lag period preceding the commencement of lipid peroxidation in the presence of XH bearing OH at meta and para positions on the 3-phenyl ring is extended to twice that observed with a comparable concentration of quercetin, a reference antioxidant. These antioxidants are also superior to quercetin in protecting human skin keratinocytes against tert-butylhydroperoxide-induced oxidative stress. While XH antioxidant activity in model biological systems is consistent with the structure-activity relationship, their response is also modulated by the localization of XH and by structural factors.
Application of MoS2 based cutting fluids in minimum quantity lubrication during machining of stainless steel AISI 316

Last decade witnessed rapid increase in development of advanced materials for high performance applications. While these materials solve a great deal of technological issue, they also pose considerable challenge in machining due to poor machinability characteristics. Many strategies have been devised. However, environmental friendly machining techniques have been given major emphasis and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technique is one of them. Although molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is widely regarded as solid lubricant material, its potential as an effective medium in MQL particularly in turning operation is yet to be explored. During the current research work, the effect of addition of MoS2 powder, with average size of around 1 µm, in two different base fluids namely conventional water soluble oil and paraffin oil (a mineral oil) has been investigated during turning of AISI 316L grade austenitic stainless steel with the help response surface methodology (RSM)-based design of experiment. The results clearly indicated the beneficial aspects of MoS2 in reducing the cutting temperature by virtue of enhanced heat transfer characteristics of micro-particle of MoS2.The same powder also helped in bringing down cutting force and chip thickness while improving surface finish. It was observed that MoS2-mixed conventional cutting fluid demonstrated superior machining characteristics. Further attempt was also made to determine optimal cutting condition using grey relational analysis (GRA)-based multi objective optimization technique. The study, therefore, clearly established promising potential of MoS2 powder to be mixed with suitable base fluid under MQL environment during machining AISI 316L grade austenitic stainless steel.

Modeling and optimizing transport-support workflows in high-performance networks

High-performance networking technologies and services are being rapidly developed and deployed across the nation and around the globe to support the transfer of large data sets generated by next-generation scientific applications for collaborative data processing, analysis, and storage. However, these networking technologies and services have not been fully utilized mainly because their use often requires considerable domain knowledge and many application users are even not aware of their existence. The main goal of our work is to provide end users an integrated solution to discovering system and network resources and composing end-to-end paths for large data transfer. By leveraging the resource discovery capability previously developed in Network-Aware Data Movement Advisor (NADMA), we propose novel profiling and modeling approaches to characterize various types of resources that are available in end systems, edge segments, and backbone networks, taking into consideration a comprehensive set of performance metrics and network parameters in different phases including device deployment, circuit setup, and data transfer. Based on these profiles and models, we formulate a class of transport-support workflow optimization problems where an appropriate set of technologies and services are selected to compose the best transport-support workflow to meet the user's data transfer request in terms of various performance requirements. We conduct wide-area network experiments to validate the cost models and illustrate the efficacy of the proposed workflow-based transport solution.
