ROAD EFFECTS ON WILDLIFE IN BRAZILIAN ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSING

Environmental licensing is a political tool to protect the environment and encourage sustainable development. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are the important document for impact assessment of activities during environmental licensing, and all decision-making process and effectiveness depend on its quality. Road construction, paving and widening require the approval of an EIA, since these activities are responsible for a large number of environmental impacts. Here we present an analysis of 16 EIAs of Brazilian roads, considering the impacts on terrestrial and aquatic fauna. We discuss if theimpacts recognized in road ecology literature are identified and assessed in these studies, if mitigation actions are based on information presented on the EIA, and the quality of road mortality assessment. We based the analysis on a checklist of road impacts and on scores calculated based on a set of criteria. We calculated relative scores for each EIA and for each type of impact across all studies. EIA quality was low (more than half EIAs had relative equal score or less than 50%); the studies analyzed poorly addressed the impacts recognized in the academic literature. The presence of impacts was not coherent along different sections of the EIA (baseline studies, impact matrix and proposition of mitigation measures). In 27.63% of cases the impacts were not present in any section of the EIA. In some situations, the impact was present in the baseline studies, but not in impact matrix or mitigation propositions, and in half of the situations analyzed the relative scoreof EIAs was lower than 30% for the quality of road mortality impact assessment. We recommend the improvement of the terms of reference should be a priority to enforce the elaboration of enhanced quality studies. A Portuguese version of this manuscript is available on request.

Theoretical and practical aspects for balancing crankshafts of six-cylinder V60 degree engines

Owing to manufacturing variations, a counterweighted crankshaft still needs to be dynamically balanced on a balance machine before being put into service. To balance a non-symmetric counterweighted crankshaft, disconnected from the piston and connecting rod assemblies, on a balance machine, it is necessary to attach correct ring weights on crankpins to represent the dynamic effect of the piston and connecting rod assemblies. The central issues are: What should be the sizes and the locations of the ring weights? This paper presents a set of formulae for determining the ring weights needed for balancing crankshafts of six-cylinder V60 degree engines. The paper also discusses practical considerations, such as the design, manufacturing and installation of the ring weights, the method of testing, and subsequent adjustment if needed.

Role of Pentoxifylline and/or IgM-Enriched Intravenous Immunoglobulin in the Management of Neonatal Sepsis

To investigate the effectivity of pentoxifylline (PTX) and immunoglobulin M (IgM)-enriched intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy in the treatment of neonatal sepsis (NS), alone or in combination.This was a prospective, double-blind, controlled study. Newborns with suspicion of sepsis were enrolled in the study. The patients were separated into four groups according to treatment protocol: Group 1 = placebo, Group 2 = pentoxifylline, Group 3 = IgM-enriched IVIG, and Group 4 = pentoxifylline + IgM-enriched IVIG. Blood samples were taken for C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, neutrophil CD64 expression, and tumor necrosis factor-alfa measurements immediately before treatment (1st day), and measurements were repeated on the 2nd and 4th days of the therapy.A total of 204 patients, 51 in each group, were recruited into the study. There were no significant differences for symptoms of sepsis among groups, except lethargy. No significant differences were observed among the groups according to laboratory data. Overall mortality rate was 8.8%. The rates of morbidities and mortality among study groups were similar.PTX and IgM-enriched IVIG therapies, either alone or in combination, did not reduce the rates of morbidities and mortality in NS.
Interference alignment using shadow channel

The time variance of a channel is exploited in interference alignment techniques. However, in the case of static channels, these interference alignment techniques do not hold, specifically for single-antenna systems. In this paper, we introduce simple data processing techniques that enable us to create the effect of a time varying channel from the underlying static channel. We call this channel the shadow channel. We exploit the time-varying nature of the relative channels introduced by the shadow channel for interference alignment. We demonstrate the throughput benefits of this interference alignment technique for different topologies. This technique can be thought of as operating over the two dimensions of the complex space of typical communication systems. In this paper, we present the feasibility of interference alignment techniques for single antenna nodes in static channel. We establish bound on the throughput gain due to this technique. Finally, we implement interference alignment over the shadow channel on the NI PXIe 1082 based software defined radio. We achieve throughput gains of upto 1.44X over TDMA systems using this interference alignment technique and upto 1.61X when this technique is coupled with interference cancellation.
Satisfaction with Care among Low-Income Women with Breast Cancer

Patient satisfaction is an important outcome measure in determining quality of care. There are few data evaluating patient satisfaction in nonwhite, low-income populations. The objective of this study was to identify the structure, process, and outcome factors that impact patient satisfaction with care in a low-income population of women with breast cancer.In a cross-sectional survey of low-income women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, eligible women enrolled in the California Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (BCCTP) from February 2003 through September 2005 were interviewed by phone 6 months after their enrollment. This was a population-based sample of women aged >or=18 years (n = 924) with a definitive diagnosis of breast cancer and enrolled in the BCCTP. The main outcome measure was satisfaction with care received.Random effects logistic regression revealed that less acculturated Latinas were more likely (odds ratio, [OR] = 5.36, p < 0.000) to be extremely satisfied with their care compared with non-Hispanic white women. Women who believed they could have been diagnosed sooner were less likely to be extremely satisfied (OR = 0.61, p < 0.000). Women who had received or were receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy had nearly twice the odds of being extremely satisfied (OR = 2.02, p < 0.000, and OR = 2.13, p < 0.000, respectively). Greater information giving was associated with greater satisfaction (OR = 1.17, p < 0.000). Women reporting greater physician emotional support were more likely to report being extremely satisfied (OR = 1.26, p < 0.000). A higher participatory treatment decision-making score was associated with greater satisfaction (OR = 1.78, p < 0.000).In a low-income population, satisfaction is also reported at high levels. In addition to age, ethnicity/acculturation, receipt of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, physician emotional support, and collaborative decision making, perception of diagnostic delay is a predictor of dissatisfaction in this population.

Emergy Based Sustainability Scenario Analysis of Oasis Agricultural Systems: A Case Study from Xinjiang, China

How to coordinate arid eco-environmental protection and oasis agricultural development and avoid desertification is a key problem in achieving the sustainable development of oasis human-earth systems. We analyzed the temporal characteristics and overall tendency of an arid oasis agricultural production system in Yining County, China by means of emergy methods and ternary diagrams theory. From 1989–2008, total emergy input and output of the oasis agricultural system in Yining County had a trend of sustainable development. According to the sustainability analysis with emergy indices, the agricultural production systems in Yining County were still at a sustainable status. However, the emergy-based sustainability index (ESI) followed a decreasing trend. Scenario analysis of the sustainability lines based on ternary diagrams showed that both the F (input from economic component) and N (input from nonrenewable resource) leading modes had limitations in the study case. The agricultural production of Yining County should adopt the R leading mode, in which the percentage of non-renewable resources in the local system will be kept roughly unchanged, while the fraction of purchased inputs and renewable resources will be decreased in synchronism. In this way, the contribution from local renewable resources to agricultural production will be increased, and sustainable development ensured.
The Use of Thermowell Bushes at the Triple Point of Water for Improving Repeatability

Water triple point cells are essential for realization of the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90). There is some evidence that achieving the ultimate performance of water triple point cells may be restricted by the variation in the position of the platinum resistance thermometer at the bottom of the re-entrant well, and that the variation in position is not completely compensated for by correction to zero measurement sensing current. This comparative study focused on the use of quartz bushes (tubular sleeves around the thermometer) of two different lengths, to improve the thermal contact and to help locate the thermometer. It shows that an improvement in repeatability of the resistance readings was achieved. The experiments were conducted over a five-week period using a standard platinum resistance thermometer, a one water cell, and two different lengths of quartz bushes. The resistance measurements were performed using an Automatic Systems Laboratories F900 resistance bridge. A description of the experiment and results is given. Significant improvement in the repeatability of the measurement of resistance was observed (factor >2) when quartz bushes were used.

Who watches the watchmen? - protecting operating system reliability mechanisms

We present the design and initial evaluation of a resilient operating system architecture that leverages HW architectures combining few resilient with many nonresilient CPU cores. To this end, we build our system around a Reliable Computing Base (RCB) consisting of those software components that must work for reliable operation, and run the RCB on the resilient cores. The remainder of the system runs replicated on unreliable cores. Our system's RCB consists of an L4 microkernel, a runtime environment and a replication manager. In this paper we state and justify assumptions about the hardware architecture, motivate the corresponding software architecture and evaluate communication mechanisms between the RCB and the replicas.

MICROFLUIDIC ANALYTE CAPTURE USING A THERMOFLOWABLE MATERIAL

The disclosure relates to the specific capture of an analyte such as a cell from a multi-component sample, such as whole blood. Microfluidic devices contain a channel with a solid phase thermoflowable material with a binding moiety to selectively bind the analyte from the sample. After removing unbound sample components from the channel, the bound analyte can be removed from the channel by converting the thermoflowable material to a liquid phase. The analyte can be detected in the liquid thermoflowable phase, or can be separated from the liquid thermoflowable material outside the channel.
Synopsis of fiber optics in harsh environments

Fiber optic technology is making significant advances for use in a number of harsh environments, such as air and space platforms. Many of these applications involve integration into systems which make extensive use of optical fiber for high bandwidth signal transmission. The large signal transmission bandwidth of optical fiber has a large and positive impact on the overall performance and weight of the cable harness. There are many benefits of fiber optic systems for air and space harsh environment applications, including minimal electromagnetic interference and environmental effects, lightweight and smaller diameter cables, greater bandwidth, integrated prognostics and diagnostics and the ability to be easily upgraded. To qualify and use a fiber optic cable in space and air harsh environments requires treatment of the cable assembly as a system and understanding the design and behavior of its parts. Many parameters affect an optical fiber’s ability to withstand a harsh temperature and radiation environment. The space radiation environment is dependent on orbital altitude, inclination and time, contains energetic magnetically-trapped electrons in the outer Van Allen radiation belt, trapped protons in the inner belt and solar event protons and ions. Both transient and permanent temperature and radiation have an attenuation effect on the performance of the cable fiber. This paper presents an overview of defining fiber optic system and component performance by identifying operating and storage environmental requirements, using appropriate standards to be used in fiber optic cable assembly manufacturing and integration, developing inspection methods and fixtures compliant with the selected standards and developing a fiber optic product process that assures compliance with each design requirement.
Crystal Structure, Physical Properties, and Electrochemistry of Copper Substituted LiFePO4 Single Crystals

Copper substituted lithium iron phosphate, with the olivine structure, has been synthesized hydrothermally as dark-brown single crystals with 15% of the iron sites occupied by cupric ions. Single crystal X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility,combined with Li solid state NMR studies performed on powder sample, showed that 5% of the lithium ions also reside on the iron site, giving the formula Li0.95[(Fe2+)0.70(Fe3+)0.10(Cu2+)0.15Li0.05)]PO4. The compound exhibits anisotropic magnetic susceptibility and orders antiferromagnetically at 48 K. The magnetic moments are aligned along [010] as in LiFePO4. The optical measurements indicate that the dark brown color originates from interionic d-d transitions. A part of the lithium ions can be cycled in an electrochemical cell, corresponding to the oxidation/reduction of the iron ions. An onset of a second electrochemical process is observed at about 4.1 V, tentatively attributed to the removal of Li ions from the Fe site. The first principles calculations i...
Urban energy flow processes in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (Jing-Jin-Ji) urban agglomeration: combining multi-regional input–output tables with ecological network analysis

Abstract Regional disparity is due to economic development, physical geography, and lifestyle. Jing-Jin-Ji urban agglomeration is advocating integrated development, but its development is not so smooth. The goals of this research are to identify the energy utilization characteristics of the three regions and their ecological roles, and to promote the integrated development of this agglomeration system. To do so, we used the concept of “urban metabolism”, and abstracted sectors and energy flows as nodes and paths in a network model. Based on multi-regional input–output tables in China in 2002 and 2007, the monetary values in the tables can be converted into physical units. Furthermore, combining these tables with ecological network analysis can assess the indirect energy consumption of each sector, then its embodied energy consumption will be accounted for. Also, this method can reflect the roles (producer or consumer) of the three regions and of the five sectors in each region in regional energy exchanges. The results showed that Hebei had the largest embodied energy consumption in both years, with Beijing coming second. The ecological roles of the three regions did not change greatly between 2002 and 2007: Hebei acted as a producer, and Beijing and Tianjin served as consumers. Exploitation relationships were dominant in both years. This analysis provided insights that will support planning to adjust the industrial structure and future integrated development of the agglomeration.
