Published: November 2018

The Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method has been developed in order to investigate microscopic phenomena, and with the advances of computing power, newly developed codes have been used for several fields such as astrophysical, magnetospheric, and solar plasmas. Its applications have grown extensively with large computing powers available such as Pleiades and Blue Water systems in the US. For astrophysical plasmas research PIC method has been utilized in several topics such as reconnection, pulsar, non-relativistic shocks, relativistic shocks, relativistic jets, etc. As one of the research topics in astrophysics, PIC simulations of relativistic jets are reviewed up to the present time with the emphasis on the physics involved in the simulations. In this review we summarize PIC simulations starting with the Weibel instability in slab models of jets and then, continuing with recent progresses on global jets with helical magnetic fields including kinetic Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities and mushroom instabilities.

Authors: Trejo Imelda , Kojouharov Hristo , Chen-Charpentier Benito
Published: November 2018

A new mathematical model is presented to study the effects of macrophages on the bone fracture healing process. The model consists of a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations that represents the interactions among classically and alternatively activated macrophages, mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. A qualitative analysis of the model is performed to determine the equilibria and their corresponding stability properties. Numerical simulations are also presented to support the theoretical results and to monitor the evolution of a broken bone for different types of fractures under various medical interventions. The model can be used to guide clinical experiments and to explore possible medical treatments that accelerate the bone fracture healing process either by surgical interventions or drug administrations.
7-Methylguanosine Modifications in tRNA
Authors: Tomikawa Chie
Published: November 2018

More than 90 different modified nucleosides have been identified in tRNA. Among the tRNA modifications, the 7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is found widely in eubacteria, eukaryotes, and a few archaea. In most cases, the m7G modification occurs at position 46 in the variable region and is a product of tRNA (m7G46) methyltransferase. The m7G46 modification forms a tertiary base pair with C13-G22, and stabilizes the tRNA structure. Recently, we have proposed a reaction mechanism for eubacterial tRNA m7G methyltransferase (TrmB) based on the results of biochemical studies and previous biochemical, bioinformatic, and structural studies by others. However, an experimentally determined mechanism of methyl-transfer remains to be ascertained. The physiological functions of m7G46 in tRNA have started to be determined over the past decade. To be able to better respond to diseases and infections in which the m7G modification is considered to be involved, it is still necessary to further understand the catalytic mechanism of AdoMet and/or the tRNA bound form of m7G methyltransferases. In this review, information of tRNA m7G modifications and tRNA m7G methyltransferases are summarized and the differences in reaction mechanism between tRNA m7G methyltransferase and rRNA or mRNA m7G methylation enzyme are discussed.

Published: November 2018

Over the years, scarcity of fresh potable water has increased the demand for clean water. Meanwhile, with the advent of nanotechnology, the use of nanomaterials for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants in wastewaters has increased. Herein, a new type of nanohybrids of La and Mn co-doped bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) nanoparticles embedded into transition metal carbide sheets (MXene) were prepared by a low-cost double solvent sol-gel method, and investigated for their photocatalytic activity. The photoluminescence results showed that pure BFO has highest electron hole recombination rate as compared to all the co-doped BFO/MXene nanohybrids. The larger surface area and higher electron-hole pair generation rate provides suitable environment for fast photo-degradation of organic molecules. The band gap of the prepared nanohybrids was tuned to 1.96 eV having largest BiFeO3 surface area (147 m2g−1) reported till date. Moreover, the BLFO/MXene and BLFMO-5/Mxene degraded the 92% organic pollutant from water in dark and remaining in light spectrum as compare to undoped BFO/Mxene due to enhancement of the surface area and electron-hole recombination rate upon doping. Therefore, these synthesized nanohybrids could be a promising candidate for photocatalytic applications in future.

Dutch Delta Resiliency by Societal Learning Introducing the Intertwined Process of Daily Practice and Theory Development
Authors: Sanders Fred
Published: November 2018

The Wester coastal Delta zone of the Netherlands is the relatively more crowded area of the country where ten of the seventeen million people live. The governmental prognosis is that this number of people will increase steadily in the coming decennia, unless the threat of climate-change seawater level rising. This is the picture in more Delta zones globally what makes the topic of resiliency for these delta-areas of importance. Approaches of resiliency are often dominated by governmental rescue planning and believe in technology solutions, while in the process the behaviour of people can make the difference in overcoming climate-change impact disasters. In the struggle against high water storming and flooding, the Dutch people prove this by developing societal resilient behaviour in a broad spectrum of activities. Post-PhD research on Dutch resilient behaviour in the in 1016-flooded Zaanstreek-Waterland area near the city of Amsterdam confirms that. Recently research by questionnaire among citizens in this region shows that people have favour for shared responsibility with government and related professional organizations. The Dutch examples of societal resiliency carried by people also show a action-learning perspective intertwined with governmental contingency planning. Therewith the Dutch practice shows a positive cross-fertilization of practice and knowledge development.

Published: November 2018

In this contribution, a method based on a solid solution theory of clathrate hydrate for multiple cage occupancy, host lattice relaxation and guest-guest interactions has been presented to estimate hydrate formation conditions of binary and ternary gas mixtures. We have performed molecular modeling of structure, guest distribution, and hydrate formation conditions for the CO2 + CH4, and CO2 + CH4 + N2 gas hydrates. In all considered systems with and without N2, at high and medium content of CO2 in the gas phase we have found that CO2 is more favorable to occupy clathrate hydrate cavities than CH4 or N2. Addition of N2 to the gas phase increases ratio concentration CO2 in compressing with concentration CH4 in clathrate hydrates and makes gas replacement more effective. The mole fractions of CO2 in CO2 + CH4 + N2 gas hydrate rapidly increases with the growth of its content in the gas phase. And the formation pressure of CO2 + CH4 + N2 gas hydrate rises in comparison with the formation pressure of CO2 + CH4 gas hydrate. Obtained results agree with the known experimental data for simple CH4, CO2 gas hydrates and mixed CO2 + CH4 gas hydrate.

Published: November 2018

We have developed a cast microfluidic chip for concentration gradient generation that contains a thin (~5 μm^2 crosssectional area) microchannel. Durable 2 μm-high microchannel mold features with a smooth bell-shaped sidewall were fabricated by exposing SU-8 photoresist to diffused 185 nm UV light emitted by a low-cost ozone lamp from the backside of the substrate to ensure sufficient crosslinking of small regions of the SU-8 photoresist. An H-shaped microfluidic configuration was used, in which the thin channel was able to maintain constant diffusion fronts beyond purely static diffusion confirmed with experiment. We also demonstrated the long-term effects of a gradient of nerve growth factor on axon elongation by primary neuronal cells cultured in the microfluidic channel.

Leaves of Rubus idaeus are a raw material, ingredients of herbal blend and a source of antioxidants. There are no data concerning histochemistry of trichomes and little is known about the leaves structure of this species. The aim of this study was to determine the histochemistry of active compounds and the structure of glandular trichomes, micromorphology, anatomy and ultrastructure of leaves as well as content of elements. To determine the histochemistry of glandular trichomes different chemical compounds were used. The leaves structure was analysed using light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopes. The content of elements was determined with atomic absorption spectrometry and the microanalysis of the epidermis ultrastructure was carried out with transmission electron microscope equipped with a digital X-ray analyser. In glandular trichomes: polyphenols, terpenes, lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates were identified. The main elements in the ultrastructure of the epidermis were: Na, S, Ca, Mg, B, Mo, and Se. In dry matter of leaves K, Mg, Ca, P, and Fe were dominant. Infusions from leaves are safe for health in terms of the Cd and Pb concentrations. Leaves can be a valuable raw material. Non-glandular trichomes prevent clumping of mixed raw materials in herbal mixtures.
Social Representations of Natural Hazard Risk in Swiss Mountain Regions
Authors: Maidl Elisabeth , Buchecker Matthias
Published: November 2018

The term “risk” is connoted with divergent meanings in natural hazard risk research and the practice of risk management. Whilst the technical definition is accurately defined, in practice, the term “risk” is often synonymously used with “danger”. Considering this divergence as a deficiency, risk communication often aims to correct laypersons’ understanding. We suggest in reference to Breakwell (2001) to treat the variety of meanings as a resource for risk communication strategies instead. However, there is no investigation so far, of what laypersons’ meanings of risk actually comprise. To address this gap, we examine the meanings of risk applying a social representations approach (Moscovici, 2001) in a qualitative case study design. Results of the study among inhabitants of Swiss mountain villages show that differences in meanings were found according to hazard experience and community size. We found commonly shared core representations, and single peripheral ones. We conclude with suggestions on how to make usage of the knowledge on SR in risk communication.

Elliptic Curve Video Encryption in Mobile Phone Based on Multi-Keys and Chaotic Map
Authors: Naji Aya Khalid
Published: November 2018

The security of video applications in mobile devices has become recently an important field research. Dealing with video data, which is large compared to text and image and processing it in the mobile platform is a big challenge. Generally, the efficiency of any video encryption algorithm is concerned with two criteria, the computational time required to process video data, and the memory usage according to the resources on the smartphone. The secured system in 3G devices has become a matter of importance. This paper presents an implementation of full video encryption using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) on a mobile device. The operations on ECC include doubling and addition on the finite field as the backbone for an elliptic curve. Also, mapping representation is introduced to convert every byte of plain video into a point on EC. The paper proposed multi-keys instead of using one key as usual. Also, Chaotic Key Generator (CKG) is exploited for the randomness of the multi-keys. The proposed work focuses on increasing the security with multi-keys and to get acceptable time for encryption and decryption in a limited environment like mobile. The system is implemented using Android Studio with version (3.0) and using java language, it is implemented on Android version 7.0 (Nougat) and on mobile Galaxy S8.

Tatag De Penyawo: Perenungan Atas Identitas Kesukuan
Authors: Winahyuningsih M Heni
Published: November 2018

ABSTRAK Tatag de Penyawo adalah sebuah koreografi kelompok yang ditampilkan oleh 9 orang penari laki-laki. Karya ini lahir dari hasil perenungan penata tari yang gelisah dengan identitas kesukuan. Paham animisme merupakan citra yang melekat pada kehidupan masyarakat suku Dayak, yang sebagaian besar dari kehidupan mereka sangat dekat dengan roh-roh leluhur, hal-hal supranatural, dan keyakinan yang kuat terhadap gejala-gejala alam dan tingkah laku binatang. Kepercayaan leluhur yang disebut kaharingan memberi ruang yang luas untuk melakukan berbagai upacara adat dengan penampilan berbagai kesenian. Ketika agama-agama besar mulai dikenal dan dianut oleh sebagian besar masyarakat Dayak, tradisi upacara adat mulai ditinggalkan, dan keberadaan kesenian pun mulai terancam. Ada sebagaian sub suku Dayak yang ketika mulai memeluk agama baru tidak lagi mengakui sebagai bagian dari Suku Dayak, tetapi menyebut suku Melayu sebagai identitas kesukuannya. Hal inilah yang dialami oleh penata tari. Dia dilahirkan oleh seorang perempuan Suku Tidung yang memeluk agama Islam, sehingga harus menanggalkan kedayakannya, dan menjadi warga suku Melayu. Panggilan hati untuk terus menghormati tradisi kesukuan leluhurnya melalui aktivitas kesenian membuatnya tidak ingin kehilangan identitas sebagai orang Dayak yang beragama Islam. Melalui karya tari Tatag De Penyawo ini ia ingin merefl eksikan identitas kesukuannya, dengan mengeksplorasi pola-pola gerak yang terdapat dalam tari tradisi Dayak, Hudoq Kita`. Kata kunci: Dayak, identitas suku, Hudoq Kita`  ABSTRACT Tatag De Penyawo : The contemplation of ethnic identity. Tatag de Penyawo is a group of coreography performed by nine male performers. This piece was born from the coreographer’s contemplation who worries about the ethnic identity. Animism is an image which attaches to the social life of Dayak Tribe, which is very close to their ancestor’s spirit, supernatural things, and strong belief to the natural phenomena and animal behavior. The ancestral belief, which is called Kaharingan, gives a lot of opportunities to perform traditional ceremonies featuring a variety of arts. When the major religions _ rstly known and believed by Dayak people, the traditional ceremony had been left behind. The situation endangered the existence of arts. When some people of Dayak tribe started to follow the new religion, they claimed themselves as Melayu Tribe for their ethnic identity instead of Dayak Tribe. The situation had also affected the choreographer’s life. He was born by a Muslim Dayak lady, and consequently, the Dayak culture has been abandoned since he becomes a part of Melayu Tribe. The coreographer’s desire to honor his ancestor tradition with arts activities leads him to maintain his identity as a part of Dayak Tribe who follows Islam. By this piece of arts, Tatag De Penyawo, he wants to re_ ect his ethnical identity by exploring the movement pattern in traditional dance of Dayak, Hudoq Kita`. Keywords: Dayak dance, Ethnic identity, Hudoq Kita`
