Authors: Sanfona Pedro , Barroso Madalena , Fontul Simona
Published: November 2019

As geomembranas de policloreto de vinilo (PVC) são as mais utilizadas em sistemas de impermeabilização de barragens. O sucesso destes sistemas depende da qualidade com que as soldaduras das geomembranas são executadas, as quais devem ser avaliadas no que se refere à estanqueidade e à resistência mecânica, a última geralmente através de ensaios de arranque e de corte. Neste trabalho, estudou-se a influência da temperatura na resistência mecânica, em termos de força de arranque e de tipo de rotura das soldaduras. Foram usadas três geomembranas, com diferentes espessuras e tipos de soldadura. Realizaram-se ensaios laboratoriais segundo a norma ASTM D 6392, a 12 temperaturas, variando entre os 5ºC e os 41ºC. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que a força de arranque não variou significativamente com a temperatura e que os tipos de rotura definidos na norma não eram aplicáveis, no caso de duas das geomembranas estudadas.

Authors: MEMİŞ Ufuk , KARADENİZ Erdem , AKÇAY Müfide Nuran , ÖZTÜRK Nurinnisa
Published: November 2019

Aim:We
aimed to evaluate the usage of Galectin-3, Hepsin andTTF-1 levels as a marker
for the differentiation of malignant and benign in patients with thyroid
nodules.

Metods:Study was done
prospectively between January 2018 and April 2018 in the our clinic, in
patients planned for operation due to thyroid nodule. Galectin-3, Hepsin
andTTF-1 levels were measured in the pre-operative serum of the benign and
malign groups. The measured levels are evaluated statistically to determine
whether there was any significant difference between malignant and benign
groups.

Results:When the levels of Galectin-3, Hepsin andTTF-1 in the malign
and benign group were compared; There was a statistically significant
difference inTTF-1 levels(p = .038), no significant difference was found in
Hepsin and Galectin-3. When the macropapillary and micropapillary types were
compared in the malign patient group, there was a significant difference
between the Galectin-3 levels(p = .009), but no difference was found between
Hepsin andTTF-1.

Conclusions:It was seen that the decrease of Galectin-3 level in thyroid
papillary carcinoma could be effective in transformation from micro carcinoma
to macro carcinoma, andTTF-1 could be an important marker at the
differentiation between benign and  malign
in thyroid nodules

Published: November 2019

Anorectal  malignant  melanoma (AMM) is a rare malignant disease with a poor prognosis. This disease is often confused with hemorrhoids. The most common site of malignant melanoma  following skin and eye involvement is the anorectal region. This is the most commonly involved site in the gastrointestinal tract. We report the case of a 67-year-old patient with lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage for 4 months and hemorrhoid treatment for 2 months. The imaging revealed no distant metastasis but histopathologically, lymph node metastasis and invasion of surrounding tissues. Laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection (APR) was performed.
Nigeria’s Corruption Score Card
Authors: Stober Emmanuel Olusegun
Published: November 2019

Corruption in Nigeria is so lucrative that the threat of jail term is not enough to deter perpetrators, and the president’s body language is also worsening the situation. The National Bureau of Statistics has estimated $4.6 billion as the cost of corruption in Nigeria, confirming the country’s worsening Corruption Perceptions Index of the Transparency International. Nigeria’s 2018 CPI ranking became worst-off after scoring 27 out of 100 points, far below the world average of 43, and Sub-Sahara Africa average of 32.02. Given that Transparency International relies on the perception of institutions rather than measuring actual corruption experiences of the citizens, this study is set out to capture the experience of the latter. The study employs a quantitative research methodology based on a sociological questionnaire. The findings reveal robust evidence that corruption reacts to standard economic incentives, as it is tagged as an economic cost of getting the job done. Corruption, therefore, became institutionalized and thus a telling effect on the emerging political culture and behavior. The anticorruption strategy has also been that of media trial and seizure of accused persons’ assets. Hence the effects of anti-corruption policies are often weakening as businessmen, politicians and public officials often find alternate strategies for rent seeking.

Published: November 2019

The area of employment is changing dramatically, technology and globalization are impacting practices and experiences, and societies are becoming more global and multicultural. With the rise of globalization and the rapid changes in the business environment, employability is becoming one of the main goals for any organization. The organizational effectiveness lies in human resources quality and human resources development practices have the potential to improve employee competences. This study aims to examine the impact of human resource development practices on the employees’ performance and organizational effectiveness at a sample of public universities in Iraq. A descriptive-analytical method based on one regression model was employed for data analyzing. The result indicates that HRD practices are significantly related to employee performance in the enhancement of organizational effectiveness. Also, the results show that there is a statistically significant relationship between employee performance and organizational effectiveness. Furthermore, this study recommends that the decision-makers of universities should strive to develop HRD strategies which will enable them to improve employee competency and enhance the capability of the employees to achieve desired goals and objectives of the organization. This article contributes to human resource development, employee performance and organizational effectiveness literature. Also, this study provides key theoretical and practical implications which are discussed in detail.
Emotional Intelligence, Occupational Stress and Job Performance in the Romanian Banking System: A Case Study Approach
Authors: Tănăsescu Ramona-Ioana , Leon Ramona-Diana
Published: November 2019

The research aims to analyze the relationships developed among emotional intelligence, occupational stress and employee performance in the financial banking sector. In other words, it aims to: (i) analyze the specialized literature regarding the concepts of emotional intelligence, occupational stress and job performance; (ii) to measure employees’ emotional intelligence, occupational stress and work performance; and (v) to analyze the relationship established among the aforementioned variables (emotional intelligence, occupational stress, job performance). A quantitative approach is adopted and a case study strategy is employed due to the fact that the research focuses on investigating a phenomenon which is frequently encountered in the real context of today’s organizations. Thus, a single-case study analysis is used and a survey based on a questionnaire is developed among 55 employees from the administration department of ING Bank Romania (Bucharest). The hypotheses are tested using partial least square - structural equations modeling and the results prove that in the Romanian banking institutions: (i) there is a negative relationship between employees’ emotional intelligence and the occupational stress; and (ii) there is a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and job performance. These findings have both theoretical and practical implications. At the theoretical level, the present study extends the theory from the human resources management field by proposing a model for evaluating the relationships established among emotional intelligence, occupational stress and job performance in the Romanian banking financial system. At a practical level, it increases managers’ understanding regarding the factors that influence employees’ performance and it provides several strategic directions that could be taken into account for future improvement.

Published: November 2019

Li metal anodes represent the ultimate energy density, but to address safety issues caused by dendrite formation, it is critical to understand the solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer which forms on the metal surface. Dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) boosts sensitivity in NMR by harnessing the greater polarisation of unpaired electrons, however typical exogenous organic radicals are non-selective, could react with the SEI, and require cooling the sample to cryogenic temperatures. We instead exploit the inherent conduction electrons to hyperpolarise lithium metal at room temperature, utilising the Overhauser mechanism by which DNP was first discovered. This permits selective enhancement of the organic and inorganic SEI components, revealing their chemical nature and spatial distribution, via the 7Li, 1H and 19F NMR spectra.
Toward a Comprehensive Treatment of Tautomerism in Chemoinformatics Including in InChI V2
Authors: Dhaked Devendra K. , Ihlenfeldt Wolf , Patel Hitesh , Nicklaus Marc
Published: November 2019

We have collected 86 different transforms of tautomeric interconversions. Out of those, 54 are for prototropic (non-ring-chain) tautomerism; 21 for ring-chain tautomerism; and 11 for valence tautomerism. The majority of these rules have been extracted from experimental literature. Twenty rules – covering the most well-known types of tautomerism such as keto-enol tautomerism – were taken from the default handling of tautomerism by the chemoinformatics toolkit CACTVS. The rules were analyzed against nine differerent databases totaling over 400 million (non-unique) structures as to their occurrence rates, mutual overlap in coverage, and recapitulation of the rules’ enumerated tautomer sets by InChI V.1.05, both in InChI’s Standard and a Non-Standard version with the increased tautomer-handling options 15T and KET turned on. These results and the background of this study are discussed in the context of the IUPAC InChI Project tasked with the redesign of handling of tautomerism for an InChI version 2. Applying the rules presented in this paper would approximately triple the number of compounds in typical small-molecule databases that would be affected by tautomeric interconversion by InChI V2. A web tool has been created to test these rules at https://cactus.nci.nih.gov/tautomerizer.
Resolution of the Equilibrium Constant for the T State → RState Conformational Change of Human Hemoglobin into Endothermic and Exothermic Component Reactions
Authors: Knowles Francis , Magde Douglas
Published: November 2019

The dimensionless equilibrium constant for the allosteric conformation change, KΔC = 0.02602 (Knowles & Magde, linked ms 2) following binding of O2 by α-chains in Tstate Hb4/BPG (whole blood under standard conditions) is shown to be comprised of: (i) an endothermic change in conformation, from Tstate to Rstate, of 24.3 kJ/mol; (ii) exothermic conversion of Tstate TαO2-chains to Rstate RαO2-chains of -13.8 kJ/mol; (iii)exothermic binding of BPG by R-states. Eq. (1) defines the component steps whereby the Tstate conformation is converted to the Rstate conformation. ΔGo(R(Hb4), BPG) describes the endothermic decomposition of the binary complex, THb4/BPG into RHb4 and BPG, equal to + 33.7 kJ/mol (DeBruin et al. (1973). J. Biol. Chem. 248, 2774-2777). ΔGo for the equilibrium constant for ΔGO(KΔC) and Σ ΔGo for binding of O2 by the pair of equivalent Tstate α-chains, ΔGO(Tα*O2), + 9.41 kJ/mol and – 49.6 kJ/mol, respectively, are determined by fitting of O2 equilibrium binding data to the Perutz-Adair equation. ΔGo for reaction of a pair of equivalent Rstate α-chains with O2, ΔGO(RαO2), was estimated from the known affinity of myoglobin for O2 at 37oC (Theorell H. (1936). Biochem. Z., 268, 73-81), -63.4 kJ/mol. The unknown quantity, ∆GO(R(HbO2)4/BPG), was obtained by solving Eq. (1), being -10.5 kJ/mol, K (R(HbO2)4/BPG) = 58.4 L/mol. The value of the equilibrium constant for binding BPG to R-state conformations represents 0.0073% of the value of the binding constant of BPG to Tstate conformations: 800,000 L/mol. The value of KΔC; (i) accounts for the ability of O2 to escape, virtually unhindered from rbcs and (ii) provides a biophysical basis for manifestation of high resting rates of metabolism in warm blooded species.

Our simulations of cyanobenzene thiolates---para- and meta-linked to an acceptor gold atom---corroborate aromatic resonance stabilization effects and show donor states \emph{conjugating} with the benzene $\pi$-network to exhibit superior electron-injection dynamics across the para-linked isomer compared to the meta counterpart. For a \emph{non-conjugating} initial state, we find electron-injection through the meta-channel to stem from non-resonant quantum mechanical tunneling. Furthermore, we demonstrate quantum interference to drive para- vs. meta- selectivity in the coherent evolution of superposed $\pi$(CN)- and $\sigma$(NC-C)-type wavepackets. Analyses reveal that in the para-linked molecule, $\sigma$, and $\pi$ MOs localized at the donor terminal are \emph{in-phase} leading to constructive interference of electron density distribution while phase-flip of one of the MOs in the meta-linked molecule results in destructive interference. The findings reported here suggest that \emph{a priori} detection of orbital phase-flip and quantum coherence conditions can aid in molecular device design strategies.
Quantum Control of Ultrafast Internal Conversion using Nano-Confined Virtual Photons
Authors: Avramenko Aleksandr , Rury Aaron
Published: November 2019

The rational control of non-radiative relaxation remains an unfulfilled goal for synthetic chemistry. In this study, we show strongly coupling an ensemble of molecules to the virtual photons of an electromagnetic cavity provides a rational handle over ultrafast, non-radiative dynamics. Specifically, we control the concentration of zinc tetraphenyl porphyrin molecules within nano-scale Fabry-Perot cavity structures to show a variable collective vacuum Rabi splitting between the polaritons coincides with changes in internal conversion rates. We find these changes obey a power law dependence on the collective vacuum Rabi splitting, but de- viate from the predictions of so-called gap laws. We also show simple theories of structural changes caused by polariton formation cannot explain discrepancies between our results and established theoretical predictions. Our results demonstrate a mechanism by which cavity polariton formation controls the fundamental photo-physics of light harvesting and photo- catalytic molecular moieties and the gap remaining in our fundamental understanding of these mechanisms.
Photocontrolled Synthesis of N-Type Conjugated Polymers
Authors: Woods Eliot , Berl Alexandra , Kalow Julia
Published: November 2019

Current approaches to synthesize π-conjugated polymers are dominated by thermally driven, transition metal-mediated methods. Herein we show that electron-deficient Grignard monomers readily polymerize under visible light irradiation at room temperature in the absence of a catalyst. The product distribution can be tuned by the wavelength of irradiation based on the absorption of the polymer. Conversion studies are consistent with an uncontrolled chain-growth process; correspondingly, chain extension produces all-conjugated n-type block copolymers. Preliminary results demonstrate that the polymerization can be expanded to donor-acceptor alternating copolymers. We anticipate that this method can serve as a platform to access new architectures of n-type conjugated polymers without the need for transition metal catalysis.

Published: November 2019

This article outlines a simple method for identifying the thermodynamic limits to electrochemical reversible energy storage systems based on the Nernst equation and previous results obtained from work on reversible chemical hydrogen sorption. The model is successfully validated for seven reversible battery cell examples. The findings of this work substantiate the idea of a general thermodynamic principle limiting reversible chemical energy storage and suggest a change of paradigm towards a global understanding of the matter.
Proximity Effect in Crystalline Framework Materials: Stacking-Induced Functionality in MOFs and COFs
Authors: Kuc Agnieszka , Springer Maximilian , Batra Kamal , Juarez-Mosqueda Rosalba , Wöll Christof , Heine Thomas
Published: November 2019

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) consist of molecular building blocks being stitched together by strong bonds. They are well known for their porosity, large surface area, and related properties. The electronic properties of most MOFs and COFs are the superposition of those of their constituting building blocks. If crystalline, however, solid-state phenomena can be observed, such as electrical conductivity, substantial dispersion of electronic bands, broadened absorption bands, formation of excimer states, mobile charge carriers, and indirect band gaps. These effects emerge often by the proximity effect caused by the van-der-Waals interactions between stacked aromatic building blocks. This Progress Report shows how functionality is imposed by this proximity effect, that is, by stacking aromatic molecules in such a way that extraordinary electronic and optoelectronic properties emerge in MOFs and COFs. After discussing the proximity effect in graphene-related materials, its importance for layered COFs and MOFs is shown. For MOFs with well-defined structure, the stacks of aromatic building blocks can be controlled via varying MOF topology, lattice constant, and by attaching steric control units. Finally, an overview of theoretical methods to predict and analyze these effects is given, before the layer-by-layer growth technique for well-ordered surface-mounted MOFs is summarized.
Benchmarking Electronic Structure Methods for Accurate Fixed-Charge Electrostatic Models
Authors: Zhou Alex , Schauperl Michael , Nerenberg Paul
Published: November 2019

The accuracy of classical molecular mechanics (MM) force fields used for condensed phase molecular simulations depends strongly on the accuracy of modeling nonbonded interactions between atoms, such as electrostatic interactions. Some popular fixed-charge MM force fields use partial atomic charges derived from gas phase electronic structure calculations using the Hartree-Fock method with the relatively small 6-31G* basis set (HF/6-31G*). It is generally believed that HF/6-31G* generates fortuitously overpolarized electron distributions, as would be expected in the higher dielectric environment of the condensed phase. Using a benchmark set of 47 molecules we show that HF/6-31G* overpolarizes molecules by just under 10% on average with respect to experimental gas phase dipole moments. The overpolarization of this method/basis set combination varies significantly though and, in some cases, even leads to molecular dipole moments that are lower than experimental gas phase measurements. We further demonstrate that using computationally inexpensive density functional theory (DFT) methods, together with appropriate augmented basis sets and a continuum solvent model, can yield molecular dipole moments that are both more strongly and more uniformly overpolarized. These data suggest that these methods – or ones similar to them – should be adopted for the derivation of accurate partial atomic charges for next-generation MM force fields.
Evaluation of hydrated extract of phaseolus Vulgaris L. (bean plant) on hypoglycemia and hypolipidemic in streptozotocin-induced diabetic albino Wistar rats

Published: November 2019

The current research was intended to comprehend hypoglycemic and anti-lipidaemic exercises of hydrated common bean (phaseolus Vulgaris L.) seed extracts on streptozotocin-induced diabetic albino rats. At a set portion fluctuate of 100, 200,300 mg/kg body weight of common bean extracts was orally directed as one portion for every day to polygenic disorder rats for a measure of thirty days. The impact of P.vulgaris L. on hypoglycemic, glycosylated hemoprotein (HbA1c) and blood serum lipid profile (Total cholesterin), Triglyceride (TG), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), High-density lipoprotein (HDL)) in plasma were estimated in the regular and diabetic induced rat. The outcomes demonstrated that quick glucose,serum TC, TG, LDL, VLDL, levels were significantly (p<0.05) attenuate, while blood serum HDL, the level was extensively (p<0.05) upgraded inside the diabetic rats. The inconclusive amount of pace of 300 mg/kg is more reasonable than that of a hundred mg/kg. Our examination so shows that Phaseolus vulgaris L has a powerful adversary to diabetic and anti-lipidaemic impacts on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, and results were comparable to reference drug glibenclamide.

Internal and collective interpretation for improving human interpretability of multi-layered neural networks
Authors: Kamimura Ryotaro
Published: November 2019

The present paper aims to propose a new type of information-theoretic method to interpret the inference mechanism of neural networks. We interpret the internal inference mechanism for itself without any external methods such as symbolic or fuzzy rules. In addition, we make interpretation processes as stable as possible. This means that we interpret the inference mechanism, considering all internal representations, created by those different conditions and patterns. To make the internal interpretation possible, we try to compress multi-layered neural networks into the simplest ones without hidden layers. Then, the natural information loss in the process of compression is complemented by the introduction of a mutual information augmentation component. The method was applied to two data sets, namely, the glass data set and the pregnancy data set. In both data sets, information augmentation and compression methods could improve generalization performance. In addition, compressed or collective weights from the multi-layered networks tended to produce weights, ironically, similar to the linear correlation coefficients between inputs and targets, while the conventional methods such as the logistic regression analysis failed to do so.

The article considers the feasibility of changing the structure of a distribution electrical network by transferring points of electricity transformation as close to consumers as possible. This approach is based on installation of pole-mounted transformer substations (PMTS) near consumer groups and changes the topology of the electrical network. At the same time, for groups of consumers, the configuration of sections of the low-voltage network, including service drops, changes. The efficiency of approaching transformer substations to consumers was estimated by the reduction in electrical energy losses due to the expansion of the high-voltage network. The calculation of electrical losses was carried out according to twenty-four hour consumer demand curve. To estimate the power losses in each section of the electrical network of high and low voltage, the calculated expressions were obtained. For the considered example, the electrical energy losses in the whole network with a modified topology is reduced by about two times, while in a high-voltage network with the same transmitted power, the losses are reduced to a practically insignificant level, and in installed PMTS transformers they increase mainly due to the rise in total idle losses. The payback period of additional capital investments in option with modified topology will be significantly greater if payback is assessed only by saving losses cost. Consequently, the determination of the feasibility of applying this approach should be carried out taking into account such factors as increasing the reliability of electricity supply, improving the quality of electricity, and increasing the power transmission capacity of the main part of electrical network.

Penelitian historis ini menjelaskan perkembangan Nganjuk sebagai ibukota baru Afdeeling Berbek. Berbek merupakan daerah di bawah kekuasaan Keresidenan Kediri. Pada tahun 1830 hingga 1880, ibukota pemerintahan afdeeling ini berada di Berbek, lokasinya berada di lereng Gunung Wilis yang terisolasi. Pada tahun 1878, terjadi pergantian kekuasaan di Berbek, yaitu diangkatnya Sosrokoesomo III sebagai bupati baru. Pemikirannya yang revolusioner, mencetuskan suatu ide pemindahan pusat pemerintahan. Pertimbangan utamanya adalah terisolasinya wilayah Berbek, untuk itu dipilihlah Nganjuk sebagai ibukota baru. Nganjuk dipilih sebagai pusat pemerintahan baru karena jalur kereta api Surabaya-Solo melewati kota ini dan sangat potensial untuk dijadikan sebagai ibu kota. Sejak ibukota dipindahkan ke Nganjuk pada tahun 1880, perkembangan kota berlangsung secara luar biasa. Pembangunan Nganjuk bukan semata tentang estetika ibu kota yang baru, namun juga untuk mempermudah administrasi pemerintahan. Pembangunan kota Nganjuk mempengaruhi kehidupan sosial-ekonomi masyakrakat hingga sekarang.Kata kunci: Afdeeling Berbek, pemindahan ibukota, Nganjuk, Sosrokoesomo III.
