Condensação a superfície na Amazônia em área de pastagem durante o experimento LBA/SMOCC: estudo de casos
Authors: Andrade Antonio Marcos Delfino De , Moura Marcos Antonio Lima
Published: November 2011

A condensação é uma variável indispensável para o entendimento de muitos processos hidrológicos e biológicos, os quais estão envolvidos em uma grande variedade de processos naturais que atuam em diferentes escalas espaciais e temporais. Na Amazônia é comum se observar tal fenômeno durante a madrugada, principalmente na época seca. Dentro da estrutura do experimento Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA), a campanha Smoke, Aerosols, Clouds, Rainfall, and Climate (SMOCC) foi realizada no período de setembro a novembro de 2002 no antigo sítio experimental do projeto ABRACOS, Rondônia, onde foi possível fazer detalhadas medições das propriedades químicas e físicas da atmosfera, dentre outros, a formação e dissipação da condensação do vapor d'água à superfície. De acordo com resultados obtidos, a formação da condensação ocorreu durante o período noturno por apresentar condições propícias para seu acontecimento. Para os eventos analisados nesse trabalho, foi observado que sua formação e manutenção ocorrem em função da intensidade do vento. Contudo, é possível argumentar que a calmaria é fator determinante para o surgimento da condensação.

Differentiating cave Aspidoras catfish from a karst area of Central Brazil, upper rio Tocantins basin (Siluriformes: Callichthyidae)
Authors: Secutti Sandro , Reis Roberto E , Trajano Eleonora
Published: November 2011

Two cave populations of Aspidoras albater catfish with reduced eyes and pigmentation were recently found near the city of Posse, São Domingos karst area, Goiás State, representing the first known case of a troglomorphic callichthyid catfish. Cave specimens are described and compared to epigean specimens of A. albater, but morphometric differences between the epigean and the cave populations are not adequate to delimit as distinct species.
Trajetória de vida e construção dos saberes de professoras de educação física
Authors: Amorim Filho Mário Lucio de , Ramos Glauco Nunes Souto
Published: November 2011

Considerando que os saberes dos professores são construídos ao longo dos diversos momentos de sua vida discente e docente, e que essa temática deveria ser mais abordada durante a formação inicial de professores, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a trajetória de vida de duas professoras de educação física escolar, sendo uma experiente (PE), com quase 30 anos de carreira, e uma novata (PN), com aproximadamente um ano e meio de carreira, dos ensinos fundamental e médio da rede pública da cidade de São Carlos-SP. Para tanto, a pesquisa pautou-se na abordagem qualitativa e teve como instrumento de coleta de dados a entrevista semi-estruturada. A análise dos dados conduziu à elaboração das seguintes categorias: 1) a infância e os possíveis reflexos na atuação profissional, que apresentou a escola e a relação com os pais como grandes responsáveis pela transmissão de valores do que é ser professor; 2) visão de curso/universidade, destacando o apreço sobre o período acadêmico na visão da PE e da PN; 3) dificuldades/reflexões sobre a vida docente, que revelou os obstáculos encontrados pela PN em seu início de carreira e, também, as artimanhas utilizadas pela PE ao lidar com as incertezas que envolvem a prática docente. Desta forma, ressaltamos que as trajetórias de vida dos professores, quando analisadas como uma perspectiva metodológica, podem apresentar aspectos importantes para futuros professores e também auxiliar os docentes durante as suas intervenções pedagógicas, pois o docente que relaciona e reflete a sua trajetória de vida com a sua atuação na escola pode reconstruir as suas intervenções e tornar-se um profissional melhor
A arteterapia e a promoção do desenvolvimento infantil no contexto da hospitalização
Authors: Valladares Ana Cláudia Afonso , Silva Mariana Teixeira da
Published: November 2011

O presente estudo teve como objetivos avaliar e comparar o desenvolvimento de crianças hospitalizadas, antes e após intervenções de Arteterapia. Esta pesquisa descritiva-exploratória realizou-se por meio de estudos de caso de fundo qualitativo, baseados na avaliação desenvolvimental de crianças. A pesquisa contou com cinco participantes na faixa etária entre sete e dez anos, no Hospital de Doenças Tropicais (HDT) de Goiânia, Goiás, em 2006. Seus resultados mostraram que as intervenções de Arteterapia foram eficazes na promoção do desenvolvimento infantil. Concluiu-se, então, que a Arteterapia constitui-se num meio para canalizar, de maneira positiva, as variáveis do desenvolvimento da criança hospitalizada e neutralizar os fatores de ordem afetiva que, naturalmente, surgem, além de expor os potenciais mais saudáveis da criança, por vezes pouco estimulados no contexto da hospitalização.

Published: November 2011

Estudo transversal que avaliou o Índice de Capacidade para o Trabalho (ICT) e os aspectos sociodemográficos e laborais de 93 enfermeiros de um hospital universitário. Os dados foram coletados por questionário e analisados por estatística descritiva e analítica. A amostra foi predominantemente feminina (98,9%), com 41,7 (dp=9,0) anos de idade, 63,4% têm companheiro, dormem 6,9 (dp=1,3) horas por dia, 8,6% fumavam e 37,6% realizavam atividade física regular. O escore médio do ICT foi de 40,1 (dp=3,7), indicando boa capacidade para o trabalho. Houve correlações entre o ICT e idade (r=-0,22; p=0,0394); tempo de trabalho (r=-0,23; p=0,0295) e horas de sono (r=0,26; p=0,0162). Enfermeiros que vivem sozinhos e os não fumantes apresentaram médias superiores no ICT àqueles com companheiro e que fumam (41,3 e 39,6; 40,4 e 37,8; p=0,0476). Hábitos saudáveis de vida como dormir sete horas ou mais e não fumar associam-se positivamente com a capacidade para o trabalho.
Demandas de atendimento psiquiátrico em um hospital universitário
Authors: Silva Naiara Gajo , Oliveira Alice Guimarães Bottaro de , Ide Patricia Haranaka
Published: November 2011

Estudo transversal que objetivou descrever a demanda psiquiátrica em um hospital universitário de Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, e conhecer a situação atual de atendimento a essa demanda. Os dados foram coletados nos prontuários dos pacientes internados em um hospital universitário, de junho-agosto de 2009, constituindo uma amostra de 551 prontuários. Apesar de apontada pela literatura como despreparada, a enfermagem é a categoria profissional que mais identifica a demanda psiquiátrica existente neste hospital. O plano de tratamento a essa demanda se restringiu a medicação, nove avaliações de psicologia e 13 de interconsulta médica psiquiátrica, sem participação significativa da enfermagem. A abordagem de aspectos emocionais e/ou mentais repercute em melhoria na qualidade da assistência de enfermagem, sendo necessário que os enfermeiros se capacitem para isto. Para viabilização disto sugerimos uma reflexão sobre a necessidade da interconsulta de enfermagem psiquiátrica neste hospital.

Authors: Abreu Isabella Schroeder , Braguini Welligton Luciano
Published: November 2011

Estudo transversal, quantitativo, realizado no Alojamento Conjunto de um hospital de médio porte, no interior do Paraná do qual fizeram parte 40 puérperas maiores de 18 anos. Teve como objetivo analisar o conhecimento desta população sobre a finalidade e importância da realização do "teste do pezinho" e caracterizá-la sócio-demograficamente. Os dados foram coletados em maio e junho de 2010, através de um questionário semi-estruturado elaborado e aplicado pelos próprios pesquisadores. A finalidade da triagem neonatal era conhecida por 65% (n=26) das participantes, observando-se que a maioria conhecia a finalidade e sabia sobre a importância da realização do "teste do pezinho", fato este que denota a importância das orientações que devem ser dispensadas a estas mães sobre o referido assunto, mesmo antes do nascimento do bebê, com enfoque ainda no pré-natal, destacando-se a importância do papel do enfermeiro neste contexto.

Published: November 2011

OBJETIVO: o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar histologicamente a influência do fenobarbital na movimentação ortodôntica. MÉTODOS: foram utilizados 22 coelhos da raça Nova Zelândia (Oryctolagus cuniculus), distribuídos em três grupos - Normal (N), Controle (C) e Experimental (E). No grupo N (n=2) não foi realizado nenhum procedimento, apenas a verificação da condição de normalidade pré-tratamento. Nos grupos C (n=10) e E (n=10) foi montado aparelho ortodôntico entre os primeiros molares e incisivos inferiores, para promover movimentação dos molares para mesial. O que diferenciou os grupos C e E foi que no grupo E foi administrado fenobarbital durante o período da pesquisa. Após os períodos de 7 e 14 dias, os animais foram sacrificados, sendo as peças anatômicas preparadas para confecção das lâminas para posterior análise histológica. RESULTADOS: os resultados demonstraram não haver diferença entre os grupos Normal e Experimental, quando analisados histologicamente.
The Hare and the Tortoise: Dangerousness and Sex Offender Policy in the United States and Canada
Authors: Petrunik Michael
Published: November 2011

In both the United States and Canada, a community protection approach to the perceived enduring dangerousness of sex offenders has emerged since the 1980s, in response to several high profile cases involving the sexual assault and murder or mutilation of young children. The key elements in this community protection approach are sex offender registration and tracking, community notification, and post-sentence controls in the form of civil commitment, peace bonds, and community surveillance. This paper compares the different trajectories community protection has taken in the United States and in Canada and offers an explanation for the relatively slower and more cautious approach taken by the Canadian federal government, compared to the rapid, aggressive approach taken in the United States at both a federal and state level.
Quelques éléments de compréhension des libérations d'office réussies
Authors: Vacheret Marion , Cousineau Marie-Marthe
Published: November 2011

Le point de départ de la recherche dont il est question dans le cadre du présent article part du constat que les personnes qui n'obtiennent pas de libération conditionnelle et ne sortent qu'au moment de leur libération d'office, sont considérées par la Commission nationale des libérations conditionnelles comme présentant des risques indus ne permettant pas qu'elles puissent être libérées plus tôt. Or plusieurs d'entre elles » réussissent « leur libération d'office. De plus, plusieurs individus ne figureront pas au système carcéral fédéral dix ans après leur remise en liberté d'office. Comment pouvons nous identifier ces personnes et faire en sorte qu'elles ne soient plus considérées comme des risques indus et qu'elles puissent bénéficier du privilège de se voir accorder une libération conditionnelle avant l'expiration de leur sentence? Deux sources de données sont mises à contribution pour répondre à cette question: d'un côté le Système de gestion des détenus du Service correctionnel du Canada, de l'autre des entrevues menées auprès de contrevenants ayant réussi leur liberté d'office.
Showing Remorse: Reflections on the Gap between Expression and Attribution in Cases of Wrongful Conviction
Authors: Weisman Richard
Published: November 2011

This paper seeks first to show that persons who are convicted of crimes can be perceived as either remorseful or as lacking in remorse. This division establishes a moral hierarchy that has profound implications for the characterization and disposition of persons who are so designated. Second, using both Canadian and American cases, it looks at how inclusion in the category of the unremorseful affects the characterization and disposition of those who have been wrongfully convicted. Finally, it suggests that remorse is a major site of conflict between persons who are wrongfully convicted and officials within the criminal justice system, conflict that involves the use of institutional pressure to encourage the expression of remorse, on the one hand, and the mobilization of individual resources to resist those expressions, on the other.
The First Months under the Youth Criminal Justice Act: A Survey and Analysis of Case Law
Authors: Bala Nicholas , Anand Sanjeev
Published: November 2011

The Youth Criminal Justice Act was enacted to reduce the use of court and incarceration for young offenders who commit less serious crimes, while making it easier to imposes adult sanctions on those youths who commit the most serious violent offences. Preliminary reports indicate that the act has resulted in significant increases in community-based responses to youth crime. Most judges seem to recognize that the YCJA makes proportionate accountability the dominant sentencing principle, although they also recognize the YCJA's limitations on the use of custody and rehabilitative principles. Further, a Quebec Court of Appeal judgement ruled unconstitutional some of the "get tough" provisions of the act that were intended to facilitate the imposition of adult sanctions for the most serious violent young offenders; but that decision also indicated that youth courts should "balance" accountability concerns with a consideration of the needs of young offenders.
Safe Streets for Whom? Homeless Youth, Social Exclusion, and Criminal Victimization
Authors: Gaetz Stephen
Published: November 2011

This article explores the victimization experiences of street youth living in Toronto, Canada. It is argued that street youth are much more likely than domiciled youth to be victims of a broad range of crimes. In particular, young women who are homeless face increased vulnerability to specific forms of violent crime, including sexual assault. The circumstances that produce such high levels of criminal victimization among street youth are myriad and complex. While background variables (a history of violence), lifestyle, and routine activities theories have been used to explain criminal victimization, it is argued here that the conditions that place street youth at risk are connected to their experiences of social exclusion in terms of restricted access to housing, employment, and public spaces.
Comparing American and Canadian Local Television Crime Stories: A Content Analysis
Authors: Dowler Kenneth
Published: November 2011

Crime is a staple of local television newscasts. However, there is debate regarding the differences between Canadian and U.S. crime coverage on local television broadcasts. The purpose of this study is to explore differences and similarities between Canadian and U.S. local crime coverage. The results suggest that there is no difference in the type of crimes that are presented on Canadian and U.S. newscasts. However, multivariate analysis reveals that sensational stories, live stories, and stories that report firearms are more likely to appear in U.S. markets. Conversely, national stories and lead stories are more likely to appear in Canadian markets. To provide context, the propaganda model developed in Herman and Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent (1988) is applied. At the local level, American and Canadian news makers engage in selective news construction in an attempt to appease owners or advertisers and uphold traditional attitudes toward criminality and justice.
Situational Crime Prevention as a Key Component in Embedded Crime Prevention

Published: November 2011

This article provides information about the evolving field of situational crime prevention and proposes that the situational perspective be used to understand recent crime prevention approaches in Canada. The article also explores how the articulated description of situational crime prevention can be used to develop ways of measuring the impact of specific crime prevention programs and to find ways to embed the crime prevention process into general governance.
Recent Developments in Crime Prevention and Safety Policies in Finland
Authors: Aromaa Kauko , Takala Jukka-Pekka
Published: November 2011

Finland's National Council for Crime Prevention (NCCP) was established in 1989. A national crime prevention program was adopted by the government in 1999. The program follows the "Nordic model" and includes a national coordinating and steering body that provides funding and advice to local crime prevention committees and projects. The Nordic model of crime prevention involves a strong affiliation to areas outside the justice system and strikes a balance between social and situational crime prevention. A member since 2001 of the European Crime Prevention Network (EUCPN), the NCCP selects projects to be presented at the EUCPN's annual Good Practice Conferences as well as competing for the annual European Crime Prevention Awards. The overt politicization of crime policy issues may cause some rethinking. The Nordic model may need to be complemented by other approaches, such as early intervention, other methods of social crime prevention, and a growing emphasis on creating networks, cooperation, and partnerships with many different actors with a stake in preventing crime.
Neither Safe Nor Sound? The Perils and Possibilities of Risk
Authors: Zedner Lucia
Published: November 2011

The rise of risk as a basis for public policy has profound implications for civil liberties. Where risk prevails over adherence to rules in public policy making, it has the potential to undermine both human rights and basic legal values. The fact that threats to security license derogation from basic rights requires careful attention to the limits to scientific measurement of human risks. Distinguishing between the assessment and the management of risk offers only a partial solution to the danger that political considerations inform and distort risk measurement. Examining how adjacent social scientific disciplines conceive, deploy, and respond to risk and uncertainty reveals a powerful, if problematic, set of analytical resources with which criminology might profitably engage.
From Community to Intelligence: Executive Realignment of RCMP Mission
Authors: Deukmedjian John
Published: November 2011

RCMP executive problematizations of community-policing misalignments during the 1990s created the conditions for adopting intelligence-led policing since late 2000. Executives identified three areas as acute problems: front-line acceptance, training, and mid-level management. These "sites" of executive problematization are expected to re-emerge under intelligence-led policing. As such, this article proposes that new model adoptions and subsequent organizational restructuring initiatives form part of broader cyclical alignment. This paper also discusses the broader implications of this study in terms of possible relocations of expertise and knowledge production at the agency-network level.
Tracking High-Risk, Violent Offenders: An Examination of the National Flagging System
Authors: Yessine Annie , Bonta James
Published: November 2011

The present study investigated the effectiveness of the Canadian National Flagging System (NFS), a policy initiative intended to identify offenders who are judged to be suitable candidates for a Dangerous Offender (DO) or a Long-Term Offender (LTO) application. Analyses comparing the profiles of 256 flagged offenders and 97 known high-risk, violent offenders indicated that the flagged offenders generally showed less serious and persistent criminality characteristics than the known high-risk, violent offenders. However, scores on actuarial measures of risk demonstrated that both groups comprised especially high-risk offenders. Furthermore, the violent and/or sexual reconviction rates of the flagged offenders were significantly higher than those reported among the typical Canadian male federal offender population. Judged against our expectations, the base rate of DO/LTO designations among the violent/sexual recidivist flagged offenders was also much higher than the one estimated among the general high-risk, violent offender population in Canada. As a whole, the findings suggested that the NFS was successful in appropriately identifying offenders who pose a risk to the community as well as in subsequently responding to this threat by facilitating the use of the DO/LTO provisions. Recommendations for the development of guidelines to assist criminal justice professionals in screening, monitoring, and processing high-risk, persistent offenders are made.
How Not to Think about Crime in the Media
Authors: Doyle Aaron
Published: November 2011

This article assesses the state of the art of current research on crime and the media. It argues that some key problems with previous research lie in simply assuming media effects, or in ascribing a reductionist unity to various aspects of the media and the ways they shape and are shaped by social relations and institutions. In reviewing various bodies of research on crime in the media, it indicates some of the limits of effects research. It further argues that the problematic question of the effects of influences of crime stories has been most effectively dealt with thus far by research that looks at the direct political and institutional effects of crime and the media. This should be supplemented by more interpretive research on the meaning of crime stories for particular audience members. Finally, it suggests that we need a sustained analysis of the interplay between crime news and crime fiction.

Professional standards of scholarly translations must be established, including editorial conventions of annotation and citation, which suit the particular needs of the Indian communities of readers, whether scholarly or otherwise.
Scholarly Book Publishing in Australia: The Impact of the Last Decade
Authors: Derricourt Robin
Published: November 2011

This article lends perspective on developments and trends in Australian scholarly book publishing from the late 1980s to early 2002. Australia, with a population of 19 million, has current economic growth rates of 3.7 per cent with forecasts well ahead of other Western industrialised economies. The economy (GDP) grew by 46.2 per cent between 1990 and the end of 2001, while the population increase was 13.6 per cent. Australia is the twelfth-largest book market in the world, and the third-largest English-language market, but it is still less than 5 per cent of the market for international scholarly books. According to an international survey1, Australia spent on books of all categories 69 per cent per capita of what US citizens spent, but this still represented only 5 per cent of the US dollar total, and 26 per cent of the UK's expenditure.
The Electronic Muse: The Council of Editors of Learned Journals Keynote Addresses, MLA Convention 2001
Authors: Harrison Patrick , Lancashire Ian , Cornett Michael
Published: November 2011

Picking up with CELJ's MLA 2000 topic on ways that the digital world is changing, and often guiding, copyright law and fair use in scholarly publishing (see JSP, April 2002), the Council of Editors of Learned Journals asked its keynote speakers for the 2001 MLA Convention to address two different faces of the ‘electronic muse.’ Patrick Harrison, who brings an expertise in law to concerns about the ramifications of the recent New York Times v. Tasini case on publishing electronic databases, discovers that at heart in the issue of copyright protection is the very definition of revision, which surprisingly has never been discussed in prior case law. What constitutes an electronic revision of a collective work such as a newspaper, magazine, or journal, and therefore a legitimate republication, according to copyright law, in electronic form such as a for-profit database? The Supreme Court came down on the side of protecting individual authors: the publication in an electronic database of a work originally appearing in a print journal or other collective work is not a revision but a new work. In stressing a text as material property at the centre of competing claims of ownership, this decision leaves open to question the status of a text's intellectual or creative relation to its community and to the common good.

Ian Lancashire, a professor of poetry, has nimbly side-stepped the nettles of Net law in offering poetry for free to the world through an anthology of online poetry. His Representative Poetry Online (RPO) features over 2,500 English poems by 403 poets, nearly all in the public domain. Indeed, it is the public nature of this project, its conception of poetry and its study as a collaborative enterprise between scholarly editor and common reader, that safeguards its haven in the electronic world. This e-anthology challenges the concept of a poetic text as the product of individual genius whose access need be regulated by an elite class of academic professionals. Representative Poetry Online instead perpetuates the ‘representative’ life of poetry as belonging to the world. Existing online, this poetry is able to enter the very material lives of its readers.

The Power of Pink: Graphical Display as Imposed Epistemology
Authors: Henige David
Published: November 2011

Graphics - including maps - have long retained special powers to convey the impression of truth and authority. They do this largely by circumscribing readers' options, forcing them to think more closely along with the author using them. Not surprisingly perhaps, when put to the test, graphics are often found to distort the very image they seek to convey. Authors have a special obligation to ensure that their data are arrayed in the most conscientious ways possible. Conversely, readers must be cautious in accepting more readily as true that which is couched by graphic rather than verbal discourse.
Herding Cats: The View from the Volume and Series Editor
Authors: Nederman Cary
Published: November 2011

I examine the status of the volume of collected research essays within scholarly publishing at the moment, focusing on various impediments to the publication of edited collections worthy of academic respectability. On the one hand, I argue that such books play a valuable role in the dissemination of knowledge, alongside journal articles and research monographs. But, on the other hand, I agree with some of the criticisms that have been levelled at edited collections by both academics and publishers. I attempt to offer some practical suggestions for redressing the problems, both perceived and real, that plague volumes of essays.

This legislation offers favourable opportunities to strengthen popular science propaganda and to promote popular-science publishing. The study is to discuss the importance of developing quality in popular-science publishing.
Plagiarism, Publishing, and the Academy
Authors: Harms Dan
Published: November 2011

While plagiarism claims have skyrocketed, the response within academia to scandals among its members has remained ambivalent. While most people are willing to proclaim plagiarism as a serious offence, our actions when confronted with cases among our colleagues often vary considerably. While this has been going on, mergers, tough financial times, and the growing quest for short-term bestsellers have transformed the publishing world, both on a broader scale and within academic publishing in particular. This has created a situation in which the goals of publishers and those of academia with regard to intellectual dishonesty have diverged considerably. Several recent examples are described in which misunderstandings have developed regarding the role publishers play in maintaining scholarly integrity. The author also describes his own experience, in which a publishing company chose an explanation geared more toward its own interests than to that of scholars when handling a report of plagiarism. Calling attention to these events should not be perceived as demonizing publishers and blaming them for misconduct. Rather, uncertainty within the academy makes it easy for those outside it to render academic judgements irrelevant and to set their own policy. Instead, academics should begin a candid discussion on the importance of maintaining or altering plagiarism rules in order to have a stronger and more unified voice capable of more influence on outside parties, whether students, corporations, or media.

Note: No information will be given regarding the identity of the publishing company or the author involved in the incident mentioned.
Effects of Asphalt Mixture Properties on Permanent Deformation Response
Authors: Archilla Adrian R. , Diaz Luis G.
Published: November 2011

The hot-mix asphalt (HMA) rutting prediction model in the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) uses a relationship that includes the effects of mix characteristics only through the resilient strain, which in turn is a function of the dynamic modulus (|E*|) of the mix. However, increasing evidence suggests that the use of |E*| alone may be insufficient to characterize completely the permanent deformation behavior of HMA. In addition to effects already considered by the MEPDG model with |E*|, the effects of mix characteristics on permanent deformation are analyzed with the use of the results of repetitive axial permanent deformation tests from laboratory-compacted HMA specimens. Results of multiple linear regression analysis indicate that binder type, effective binder content, and air void content have significant effects on model parameters for permanent deformation. The potential effects of mix characteristics on these parameters are analyzed with the use of the MEPDG model and an HMA pavement section with four levels of compaction. Scenarios in which the mixture characteristics are incorporated solely by means of |E*| are compared with scenarios in which the effects of air void content and asphalt content are incorporated into the rutting prediction model by adjusting its parameters according to relationships established in the laboratory. Empirical laboratory evidence supports the hypotheses that, regardless of mixture properties, universal values for permanent deformation model parameters do not fully account for mixture-specific contributions to rutting and that other mix characteristics (e.g., air void content) may be needed to supplement |E*| for the appropriate characterization of the permanent deformation of asphalt mixtures.
Reduced Testing Protocol for Measuring the Confined Dynamic Modulus of Asphalt Mixtures
Authors: Lacroix Andrew , Underwood B. Shane , Kim Y. Richard
Published: November 2011

Research project NCHRP 9–19 identifies the confined dynamic modulus as one of three favorable indicators for evaluating the rutting potential of a mixture. Though important, dynamic modulus testing at multiple confining pressures takes too long for state highway agencies to use it routinely. Therefore, several methods have been suggested to measure and predict confined dynamic modulus values without the need to run numerous tests. Experimental results show that the linear viscoelastic properties of an asphalt mixture are not affected by different confinements and that all confining stress effects are manifest in the elastic modulus at equilibrium, similar to unbound granular materials. The proposed method uses a Prony series representation of the dynamic modulus curve and master curve shift factors obtained from unconfined testing. This method uses the elastic modulus values predicted from a modified version of the universal material model to predict dynamic moduli at different levels of confinement. Beyond the typical AASHTO TP62 testing procedure under an unconfined condition, additional testing is conducted at 54°C at three levels of confinement. This reduced testing protocol provides reasonable results, with most errors less than 20%. The largest errors between the measured confined and unconfined data were generally overpredicted values at 54°C because the universal model overpredicted the elastic modulus. The applicability of this method is verified for the asphalt mixture performance tester as long as three levels less than 250 kPa are used, because 250 kPa is the maximum confining pressure that the tester can handle.

This study explored the effect of hydraulic hysteresis on the resilient modulus (Mr) of subgrade soils. For that purpose, suction-controlled Mr tests were performed on compacted specimens along the primary drying and wetting and secondary drying and wetting paths. First, Mr tests were performed continuously on the same sample at various suction values along all of the paths (drying, wetting, etc.). A relationship between Mr and matric suction was obtained and identified as the resilient modulus characteristic curve (MRCC). MRCC results indicated that Mr increased with suction along the drying curve. Results along the primary wetting curve indicated a higher Mr than along primary drying and secondary drying curves. The second series of tests, referred to as virgin tests, were performed at suction values without subjecting the sample to previous Mr testing. Results indicated that Mr values were lower compared with results from the other type of test (i.e., with continuous Mr testing), and that Mr results were influenced by the continuous stress loading. However, Mr values along the wetting curves were still higher than for the drying curves for these virgin tests and therefore indicated that results were also influenced by hydraulic hysteresis (i.e., cyclic suction stress loading). New models to predict the MRCC results during drying and wetting were proposed on the basis of the soil–water characteristic curve hysteresis. The models favorably predicted the drying and then the wetting results with the use of the soil–water characteristic curve at all stress levels.
Sustaining the development and implementation of student‐centered teaching nationally: The importance of a community of practice

Although the idea of using a workshop to educate potential users about a set of materials or techniques is not new, the workshops described here go beyond simple dissemination and create ongoing communities of practice that support widespread and sustained improvement in the biochemistry classroom. The degree to which pedagogical innovations improve student learning on a national level depends on how broadly they are disseminated and how they are implemented and sustained. Workshops can be effective in disseminating ideas and techniques, but they often fail to sustain implementation. This paper describes Core Collaborators Workshops (CCWs) that were specifically designed for biochemistry faculty to improve the quality of active learning materials, support faculty in transforming their classrooms, and disseminate these efforts nationally. This CCW model proved very effective to date as shown by the fact that, 8 months after the last CCW, all workshop participants reported using at least some of the instructional materials discussed during the workshop. In addition, participants remarked that the superior community building and direct mentoring available through the CCWs greatly increased their confidence in implementing this new curricular approach and has made them more likely to act as leaders themselves.

A Multifunctional Nanocarrier Based on Nanogated Mesoporous Silica for Enhanced Tumor‐Specific Uptake and Intracellular Delivery
Authors: Gao Yaohua , Yang Cuihong , Liu Xue , Ma Rujiang , Kong Deling , Shi Linqi
Published: November 2011

A multifunctional drug delivery system based on MCM‐41‐type mesoporous silica nanoparticles is described that behaves as if nanogates were covalently attached to the outlets of the mesopores through a highly acid‐sensitive benzoic–imine linker. Tumor‐specific uptake and intracellular delivery results from the pH‐dependent progressive hydrolysis of the benzoic–imine linkage that starts at tumor extracellular pH = 6.8 and increases with decreasing pH. The cleavage of the benzoic–imine bond leads to the removal of the polypseudorotaxane caps and subsequent release of the payload drugs at tumor sites. At the same time, the carrier surface becomes positively charged, which further facilitates cellular uptake of the nanocarriers, thus offering a tremendous potential for targeted tumor therapy.
