Interrelation Between the Interaction Parameter and the Width of the Adsorption Voltammetric Peak

It is known that the width of adsorption of a voltammetric peak is defined by lateral interactions in adsorption layer, so the peak width may be a key to intensity of these interactions. Correlation between the width of the peak and interaction parameter G has been examined in details. It is impossible to find the exact equation setting G as a direct function of peak width. Approximate equations are proposed to calculate G from the peak width with high accuracy in a wide range of G values. G value can be useful not only for characterization of lateral interactions in adsorbed layer (for finding adsorption isotherm parameters), but also for quick estimation of adsorption of electroactive substance.

Evaluation of Pediatric Manual Wheelchair Mobility Using Advanced Biomechanical Methods

There is minimal research of upper extremity joint dynamics during pediatric wheelchair mobility despite the large number of children using manual wheelchairs. Special concern arises with the pediatric population, particularly in regard to the longer duration of wheelchair use, joint integrity, participation and community integration, and transitional care into adulthood. This study seeks to provide evaluation methods for characterizing the biomechanics of wheelchair use by children with spinal cord injury (SCI). Twelve subjects with SCI underwent motion analysis while they propelled their wheelchair at a self-selected speed and propulsion pattern. Upper extremity joint kinematics, forces, and moments were computed using inverse dynamics methods with our custom model. The glenohumeral joint displayed the largest average range of motion (ROM) at 47.1° in the sagittal plane and the largest average superiorly and anteriorly directed joint forces of 6.1% BW and 6.5% BW, respectively. The largest joint moments were 1.4% body weight times height (BW × H ) of elbow flexion and 1.2% BW × H of glenohumeral joint extension. Pediatric manual wheelchair users demonstrating these high joint demands may be at risk for pain and upper limb injuries. These evaluation methods may be a useful tool for clinicians and therapists for pediatric wheelchair prescription and training.
Faults analysis for combined MMC and AAC with practical HVDC grid

Modular Multilevel Converter (M2C) and Alternate-Arm Converter (A2C) are the prevalent types of voltage-source converter (VSC) topology for HVDC applications. A novel model of the VSC using combined M2C and A2C is proposed in this paper. This new model is applied to practical HVDC links between France and Spain, which has 320 kV, 2 GW by inserting M2C in sending end and A2C in receiving end. The combination models are interconnecting with two 400 kV high-voltage AC grids. This paper considers the interaction of the combined models with all types of faults analyses. DC Line-to-Line and DC Line-to-Ground Faults are carried out. Symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults are carried out involves all types of faults. Single-phase, two phase and three phase to ground faults at the sending side of the proposed models are tested one by one.
Tools for continuous building performance auditing

As occupant behaviour can be considered as one of the main drivers of the performance gap, TOPAs will focus on reducing the gap from an operational perspective, hence supporting Post Occupancy Evaluation. Quantifying the performance gap is non-trivial, the performance gap is dependent on time and contextual factors, and individual buildings will have a particular performance gap. The delivery of energy efficiency projects through energy performance contracts and ESCOs is widely seen as a way of addressing sub-optimal post installation performance of energy efficiency technologies. Since this model is very attractive from many perspectives and is identified as a central route to delivery of energy efficiency gains in the EPBD, methods and models for the accurate measurement and verification of energy savings are essential to the growth of the ESCO market. The energy audit process is generally done for a fixed duration at a specific point in time. A key outcome is the identification and root cause analysis of energy inefficiencies and as a result a plan is put in place to minimise these inefficiencies. This can be very effective at reducing energy consumption in a building. However, from an implementation perspective, it can be difficult to identify all issues (in some cases conflicting system level goals) and the persistence of savings can be poor and as a consequence inefficiencies re-appear. Continuous energy auditing takes this one-off process and makes it a constant rolling cycle where a detailed overview of the building performance is consistently available making it possible to refine the energy management plan. TOPAs adopts the principle of continuous performance auditing and considers not only energy use but also an understanding of how buildings are used and their climatic state, thus providing a holistic performance audit process through supporting tools and methodologies that minimise the gap between predicted and actual energy use.
[A case of superficial carcinoma in a diverticulum of the thoracic esophagus].

An upper gastrointestina(l GI) series revealed a diverticulum in the anterior wall of the middle thoracic esophagus of a 72-year-old man. Endoscopy revealed a type 0-IIc lesion in the esophageal diverticulum. The margin of the lesion was unclear. Biopsy proved that it was squamous cell carcinoma. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed that the deepest layer of the tumor was the lamina propria mucosae (cT1a-LPM) and that the underlying muscularis propria was thinning. No distant metastasis or regional lymph node metastasis was detected. Diverticulectomy or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was out of indication due to the unclear margin and thin muscularis propria. We conducted mediastinoscopy-assisted esophagectomy. The pathological diagnosis of the resected specimen was moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with invasion to the lamina propria mucosae (pT1a-LPM). Pathological examination proved the thinning of the underlying muscularis propria in the diverticulum. The patient is alive without recurrence at 6 months after surgery.
Extending the coverage of a MWE database for Persian CPs exploiting valency alternations

PersPred is a manually elaborated multilingual syntactic and semantic Lexicon for Persian Complex Predicates (CPs), referred to also as Light Verb Constructions (LVCs) or Compound Verbs. CPs constitutes the regular and the most common way of expressing verbal concepts in Persian, which has only around 200 simplex verbs. CPs can be defined as multi-word sequences formed by a verb and a non-verbal element and functioning in many respects as a simplex verb. Bonami & Samvelain (2010) and Samvelian & Faghiri (to appear) extendedly argue that Persian CPs are MWEs and consequently must be listed. The first delivery of PersPred, contains more than 600 combinations of the verb zadan hit with a noun, presented in a spreadsheet. In this paper we present a semi-automatic method used to extend the coverage of PersPred 1.0, which relies on the syntactic information on valency alternations already encoded in the database. Given the importance of CPs in the verbal lexicon of Persian and the fact that lexical resources cruelly lack for Persian, this method can be further used to achieve our goal of making PersPred an appropriate resource for NLP applications.

Utilizing diversity to decipher the role of autophagy in plant-microbe interactions

During the course of evolution, plants have been exposed to a plethora of beneficial and pathogenic microbes. While symbionts are beneficial for the host plant by improving nutrient supply and health, pathogens are reprogramming their host only for their own benefit. At the interface of this interaction proteomes at both sides are highly flexible and require regulated protein turnover. In line with this, our previous work revealed that regulated protein degradation by autophagy is an essential player in plant immunity. Consequently, plant pathogens hijack autophagy during binary interactions though in contrasting manners. However, in a more complete scenario, plants are constantly exposed to different microbes and hence it is crucial to include the microbial diversity into this equation to obtain a holistic picture of the role of autophagy in plant-microbe interactions. The picture is getting even more complex if we look at the cellular diversity on the host side. Thus, DIVERSIPHAGY approaches the role of autophagy through bacterial and cellular diversity on the host side. We aim to address following questions:
•	Identifying how the bacterial diversity impacts autophagy and vice versa
•	Determining new bacteria and/or bacterial communities hijacking autophagy
•	Revealing the autophagy degradome and novel autophagy factors by utilizing autophagy-modulating bacteria
•	Identifying tissue and cell-type specific modulation of autophagy by diverse bacteria.
With DIVERSIPHAGY we will reveal the holistic picture of the role of autophagy in plant-microbe interactions using a mixture of state-of-the-art approaches including metabolomics, proteomics, single-cell transcriptomics and cell-type specific reverse genetic screens. As such DIVERSIPHAGY is the next generation approach to understand the role of plant autophagy in plant-microbe interactions and by translating our results into crop plants we will be able to develop more durable resistances toward destructive pathogens.
Control system for internal combustion engine, has electronic control unit for controlling variable valve control device such that valve opening time point of exhaust valve is delayed when quantity of particulate matters is increased

The system has a variable valve control device (40) for adjusting a valve opening time point of an exhaust valve (38). A particulate matter (PM) estimator determines increase of quantity of particulate matters produced in a combustion chamber based on a drive condition of a direct injection machine i.e. internal combustion engine (11). An electronic control unit (30) controls the variable valve control device such that the valve opening time point of the exhaust valve is delayed when the quantity of particulate matters in the combustion chamber is increased.
A Data-Driven Affective Analysis Framework Toward Naturally Expressive Speech Synthesis

An essential step in the generation of expressive speech synthesis is the automatic detection and classification of emotions most likely to be present in textual input. Though increasingly data-driven, emotion analysis still relies on critical expert knowledge in order to isolate the emotional keywords or keysets necessary to the construction of affective categories. This makes it vulnerable to any discrepancy between the ensuing taxonomy of affective states and the underlying domain of discourse. This paper proposes a more general framework, latent affective mapping, which exploits two separate levels of semantic information: the first one encapsulates the foundations of the domain considered, while the second one specifically accounts for the overall affective fabric of the language. Exposing the emergent relationship between these two levels advantageously steers the emotion classification process. Empirical evidence suggests that this approach is effective for automatic emotion analysis in text. This bodes well for its deployability toward naturally expressive speech synthesis.
A resiliência comunitária como alternativa para o desenvolvimento regional em face das transformações socioecológicas nas comunidades tradicionais jalapoeiras, Tocantins

O Cerrado é o bioma brasileiro que mais sofreu alterações com a ocupação humana, principalmente com a crescente expansão agrícola, que tem ocasionado um progressivo esgotamento dos seus recursos naturais. É nesse bioma que está o Jalapão; uma região marcada por inúmeros projetos de desenvolvimento e por uma população que tem sido constantemente beneficiária de políticas públicas. A região viu-se afetada em tempos recentes pelo estabelecimento de unidades de conservação e pelos seus atrativos turísticos, que têm alterado em muito a dinâmica socioeconômica local. Aos vetores de câmbio temos que acrescentar a existência de grandes áreas do agronegócio destinadas ao plantio de soja. Este trabalho tem por objetivo compreender as adaptações da comunidade jalapoeira dos municípios de Mateiros e São Félix do Tocantins a este contexto desde a perspectiva do conceito de resiliência: como esta se manteve para se adaptar diante das adversidades que impactaram seus recursos comunitários e seu modo de vida no sistema socioecológico do Jalapão. A pesquisa incorporou três estratégias metodológicas: a análise bibliográfica, a documental e a pesquisa de campo. A consideração do Jalapão como um sistema socioecológico permitiu a identificação das interações entre as comunidades e a natureza para comparar com as mudanças acontecidas. A capacidade adaptativa dos jalapoeiros frente aos três grandes choques – a criação das unidades de conservação, o turismo e o agronegócio – demonstraram que a identidade do jalapoeiro pode ser entendida como uma metáfora da resiliência do sistema que passou por inúmeras transformações sociais, econômicas, ambientais e culturais. A perspectiva adotada é uma ferramenta útil frente à identificação das forças e potencialidades do sistema socioecológico e, portanto, uma forma de encontrar mecanismos para a superação das dificuldades e ajustes às transformações pertinentes para o Jalapão.

A novel pathway for generation of building blocks for antibiotic biosynthesis

The development and spread of antibiotic resistance in microorganisms is a major threat to both humans and animals and the search for new and improved drugs is of high importance. Natural products are experiencing a strong revival as leads in drug development, and biosynthetic engineering offers sustainable routes to new and potentially improved analogues. Finding new ways to make these rational changes should ensure that the European Research Area remains competitive in realising the potential of this technology. The aim of this project is to gain a detailed understanding of a newly-identified family of enzymes supplying unusual fatty acid building blocks for assembly-line biosynthesis of natural products; and to exploit these insights to develop more efficient strategies for targeted alteration of their structures. The novel precursor enzymes to be studied, a ligase and a biotin-dependent carboxylase, are in pathways to several polyketides produced by actinomycete bacteria.
The project divides into three parts. First, additional examples of the new pathway will be sought by targetted whole-genome sequencing, as well as bio-informatic analysis of published sequence databases, and gene knockouts used to confirm the role of the pathway in providing polyketide extender units. Secondly, candidate ligases, carboxylases and the cognate acyltransferase domains that specifically recruit the unusual extender units will be studied in vitro for substrate specificity and for their ability to accept non-natural substrates bearing chemical functionality. Finally, a range of non-natural fatty acids will be fed as precursors to engineered strains designed to produce novel polyketide analogues. This approach should significantly expand the available pool of polyketide diversity. At the same time, the researcher will acquire high-level training in biochemical and chemical biology approaches that will help equip her for a leadership role in research.
Prioritizing BIM Capabilities of an Organization: An Interpretive Structural Modeling Analysis

Abstract The Indian Architectural Engineering and Construction sector is grappling with the adoption of BIM as is evident from a relatively low level of adoption. While there have been sufficient number of successful (and unsuccessful) project level implementations of BIM in India, the maturity level of the overall industry and its constituents remains relatively low. One of the challenges faced, especially at the organizational level, is an understanding and development of the organization's BIM capabilities. These capabilities need attention in terms of their effectiveness and hierarchy of implementation in order to overcome the challenges of adoption and increasing maturity levels in BIM usage. The inability to identify crucial BIM capabilities is one of the primary barriers to ineffective BIM implementation and slow adoption in India. The aim of this study is to investigate the dynamics of different BIM capabilities and to understand how these capabilities can be represented as a set of interrelated elements by adopting Interpretive Structure Modeling (ISM) technique Accordingly, a clear understanding regarding the nature of each BIM capability is developed that will help the organizations to plan the strategic implementation of BIM on any project and gain systematic, logical and productive results. Through the three-phased study, it was concluded that BIM capabilities namely visualization, energy and environment analysis, structural analysis, MEP system modelling, constructability analysis, and BIM for as-built were found to be the independent BIM capabilities having strong driving power but weak dependence power. Facilities management is a dependent BIM capability with weak driving power but strong dependence power. This study provides a roadmap to BIM implementers by highlighting the driving and dependence power of each BIM capability which is deemed useful for enhanced delivery of construction projects. Significant theoretical and practical implications are envisioned for both researchers and project managers through the findings of this study.
