A new methodology for determination of the ornamental value of woody plants of the Pinoрhyta division is developed. According to their decorative features, gymnosperms may be divided into two groups: the group of morphological features directly forming the decorativeness of coniferous plants and the group of features which indirectly influences the decorativeness of plants. The first group includes seven characteristics: architectonics of the stem and crown, crown shape, length of kweenie crown, color of the needles, a profusion of discoverproven, cones color, the aroma of pine needles and cones. To the second group belong: winter hardiness, frost resistance and damaging of the coniferous plants.

The 5-point scale has been developed for each of the ten characteristics of ornamental conifers. The total sum of which determines the degree of decoration of the species of Pinoрhyta division.

In ontogeny of conifers by the example of Picea abies (L.) Karst., landscape architecture, design and the art of gardening can fully satisfy the morphological condition of the coniferous at the early, young and middle-aged generative stages. In this period the viability of individual species as its external condition (external view), as a rule, aesthetically and emotionally sublime positively perceived by the majority of passers-by or observers. These stages of ontogenesis conifers are characterized by rather high or even maximum decorative value.

Published: December 2020

Der vorliegende Artikel passt sich in den kognitiv-exegetischen Kontext der Forschung zur Heiligen Schrift ein. Einerseits berührt er das Gebiet der Sprachwissenschaft, mach aber einen Schritt weiter in Richtung der Exegese der Propheten-Schrift, hier des Buches Protojesaja. Das Ziel solch einer Herangehensweise ist die Probe einer Beurteilung der Brauchbarkeit einer Methode der kognitiven Sprachwissenschaft zur Analyse eines biblischen Textes und die Einschätzung der Neuartigkeit der Ergebnisse derartiger Analyse bzw. der Bestätigung der bisherigen Ergebnisse. In der Untersuchung fand Anwendung die Methode der konzeptuellen Metapher in der Definition von George Lakoff und Mark Johnson. Als eine kognitive Methode bietet sie die Möglichkeit einer synchronen Untersuchung des Textes, sie gibt Einsicht in das Denken der Menschen der Entstehungszeit des Textes. Infolge der Analyse wurde es möglich, das ganzheitliche Bild des Gerechtigkeits-Problems im Buch Protojesaja zu erfassen. Aufgrund der Untersuchung kam man zum Schluss, dass sich die Methode zur Exegese des heiligen Textes eignet, indem sie das holistische Bild des untersuchten Problems und dessen Entwicklung zeigt. Gleichzeitig muss man bemerken, dass man mit dieser Methode nur einen ausgewählten Aspekt untersuchen darf, die gleichzeitige Untersuchung mehrerer Motive kann zur gewissen Unübersichtlichkeit und dem Mangel an Ergebnisse führen.Obwohl die Methode eher die bisherigen Analysen bestätigt, liegt ihre Innovation darin, dass sie das ganzheitliche Bild des untersuchten Problems erfasst.

Published: December 2020

The relationship between disorders of iron metabolism and alopecia, in particular telogen hair loss (THL), remains poorly understood and requires further research.
Goal. To assess changes in the dynamics of growth and hair condition in women with an iron deficiency state during systemic therapy with iron supplements in combination with and without physiotherapy.
Methods. An open-label, randomized, comparative interventional study with a duration of 6 months included 26 female aged 19 to 54 years (38.8 8.9 years) with complaints of hair loss, changes in their structure, dryness and / or hair brittleness; with preserved menstrual cycle and mild iron deficiency anemia (IDA, Hb 101120 g/l). Trichoscopy and phototrichogram were performed with processing of the results in the TrichoScienceProv1.1 program. The changes in the dynamics of hair growth and condition were assessed against the background of the use of iron supplements in combination with physiotherapy and without physiotherapy. Pulsed alternating sinusoidal current of high frequency, high voltage and low strength was chosen as a physiotherapeutic method for the treatment of THL.
Results. Against the background of the therapy, an increase in the Hb level (p 0.001) and a positive dynamics of trichological parameters in all patients were noted, the severity of which was higher when the therapy with iron supplements was combined with physiotherapy.
Conclusion. Our findings confirm that the complex treatment of patients with telogen alopecia on the background of an iron deficiency state may achieve positive dynamics of trichological indicators.

Sungai Citarum merupakan sungai utama yang ada di Provinsi Jawa Barat yang sangat penting bagi kehidupan sosial dan ekonomi. Di bagian hilir, Sungai Citarum ini banyak melewati daerah pemukiman padat penduduk, daerah industri, dan bahkan pesawahan. Oleh karena itu, perlu kajian mengenai kondisi Sungai Citarum salah satunya dengan mengidentifikasi parameter electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolve solid (TDS), pH dan suhu serta karakteristik mineral magnetik pada sedimen melalui analisis sifat magnetik, mineralogi dan morfologi magnetiknya. Pengukuran parameter EC, TDS, pH dan suhu dilakukan secara in situ pada sampel air Sungai Citarum, pengukuran sifat magnetik dilakukan pada sampel sedimen yang telah dipreprasi, sedangkan pengukuran mineralogi dan morfologi dilakukan pada sampel sedimen yang telah diekstraksi. Sifat magnetik sedimen diketahui dari nilai suseptibilitas magnetik dual frekuensi yang diukur menggunakan Bartington Magnetik Susceptibilitymeter, sedangkan mineralogi dan morfologi magnetik diketahui berdasarkan hasil pengukuran scanning electron microscope–energy disperdsive x-ray (SEM-EDS) dan x-ray diffractometer (XRD). Hasil pengukuran secara in situ pada sampel air menunjukkan bahwa rentang nilai EC, TDS, pH dan suhu berturut-turut adalah (200–4120) mS/cm, (100–2060) ppt, 7,34–9,22, dan (26,8–32,6) oC. Sedangkan, hasil pengukuran sifat magnetik menunjukkan bahwa sampel sedimen Sungai Citarum bagian hilir memiliki nilai suseptibilitas magnetik frekuensi rendah (cLF) dengan rentang (65,00–173,80) x 10-8 m3/kg, sedangkan rentang nilai suseptibilitas magnetik frekuensi tinggi (cHF) adalah (64,90–165,70) x 10-8 m3/kg. Dari kedua pengukuran cLF dan cHF diperoleh rentang nilai cFD (%) sebesar 0,15–4,66. Selanjutnya, hasil analisis morfologi dari citra SEM-EDS dan analisis mineralogi berdasarkan pengukuran XRD menunjukkan dominasi jenis mineral magnetik pada sampel sedimen adalah magnetit. Mineral magnetit ini memiliki morfologi berbentuk oktahedral sebagai representasi mineral magnetik alami dan ada pula yang berbentuk spherule sebagai representasi mineral magnetik karena adanya proses oksidasi akibat kehadiran material antropogenik pada sedimen Sungai Citarum bagian hilir.

De Novo Molecule Design Through Molecular Generative Model Conditioned by 3D Information of Protein Binding Sites
Authors: Xu Mingyuan , Ran Ting , Chen Hongming
Published: December 2020

De novo molecule design through molecular generative model is gaining increasing attention in recent years. Here a novel generative model was proposed by integrating the 3D structural information of the protein binding pocket into the conditional RNN (cRNN) model to control the generation of drug-like molecules. In this model, the composition of protein binding pocket is effectively characterized through a coarse-grain strategy and the three-dimensional information of the pocket can be represented by the sorted eigenvalues of the coulomb matrix (EGCM) of the coarse-grained atoms composing the binding pocket. In current work, we used our EGCM method and a previously reported binding pocket descriptor DeeplyTough to train cRNN models and compared their performance. It has been shown that the molecules generated with the control of protein environment information have a clear tendency on generating compounds with higher similarity to the original X-ray bound ligand than normal RNN model and also achieving better performance in terms of docking scores. Our results demonstrate the potential application of EGCM controlled generative model for the targeted molecule generation and guided exploration on the drug-like chemical space.
Origins of Clustering of Metalate-Extractant Complexes in Liquid-Liquid Extraction
Authors: Nayak Srikanth , Kumal Raju R. , Liu Zhu , Qiao Baofu , Clark Aurora , Uysal Ahmet
Published: December 2020

Effective and energy efficient separation of precious and rare metals is very important for a variety of advanced technologies. Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) is a relatively less energy intensive separation technique, widely used in separation of lanthanides, actinides, and platinum group metals (PGMs). In LLE, the distribution of an ion between an aqueous phase and an organic phase is determined by enthalpic (coordination interactions) and entropic (fluid reorganization) contributions. The molecular scale details of these contributions are not well understood. Preferential extraction of an ion from the aqueous phase is usually correlated with the resulting fluid organization in the organic phase, as the longer-range organization increases with metal loading. However, it is difficult to determine the extent to which organic phase fluid organization causes, or is caused by, metal loading. In this study, we demonstrate that two systems with the same metal loading may impart very different organic phase organization; and investigate the underlying molecular scale mechanism. Small angle X-ray scattering shows that the structure of a quaternary ammonium extractant solution in toluene is affected differently by the extraction of two metalates (octahedral PtCl62- and square-planar PdCl42-), although both are completely transferred into the organic phase. The aggregates formed by the metalate-extractant complexes (approximated as reverse micelles) exhibit more long-range order (clustering) with PtCl62- compared to that with PdCl42-. Vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy, and complimentary atomistic molecular dynamics simulations on model Langmuir monolayers, indicate that the two metalates affect the interfacial hydration structures differently. These results support a strong relationship between the organic phase organizational structure and different local hydration present within the aggregates of metalate-extractant complexes, which is independent of metalate concentration.

Pre-nucleation aggregates are important species on the crystallisation pathway. Here we combine heteronuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (HOESY) and molecular dynamics calculations to study the self-association of a model system – benzoic acid. Our findings indicate that heteronuclear Overhauser effects arise from diffusion-limited pre-nucleation aggregates and that self-association is solvent dependant.

Designing a Compact Microstrip Antenna Using the Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Sharma Kanhaiya , Pandey Ganga Prasad
Published: December 2020

This paper presents how machine learning techniques may be applied in the process of designing a compact dual-band H-shaped rectangular microstrip antenna (RMSA) operating in 0.75–2.20 GHz and 3.0–3.44 GHz frequency ranges. In the design process, the same dimensions of upper and lower notches are incorporated, with the centered position right in the middle. Notch length and width are verified for investigating the antenna. An artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed from the simulated dataset, and is used for shape prediction. The same dataset is used to create a mathematical model as well. The predicted outcome is compared and it is determined that the model relying on ANN offers better results
Energy Efficiency in 5G Communications – Conventional to Machine Learning Approaches

Published: December 2020

Demand for wireless and mobile data is increasing along with development of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and extended reality (ER) applications. In order to handle ultra-high data exchange rates while offering low latency levels, fifth generation (5G) networks have been proposed. Energy efficiency is one of the key objectives of 5G networks. The notion is defined as the ratio of throughput and total power consumption, and is measured using the number of transmission bits per Joule. In this paper, we review state-of-the-art techniques ensuring good energy efficiency in 5G wireless networks. We cover the base-station on/off technique, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer, small cells, coexistence of long term evolution (LTE) and 5G, signal processing algorithms, and the latest machine learning techniques. Finally, a comparison of a few recent research papers focusing on energy-efficient hybrid beamforming designs in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems is presented. Results show that machine learningbased designs may replace best performing conventional techniques thanks to a reduced complexity machine learning encoder
"Filial Piety" in The Analects of Confucius and "Filial Piety" in Today's Society
Authors: Ji Ran
Published: December 2020

Against today’s backdrop of "filial piety" in society, the “filial piety” in the Analects of Confucius triggered heated debates. Since ancient times, “filial piety”, which is of great importance to traditional Chinese culture, has been an important part of Confucianism. “Ingratitude” will inevitably be condemned by society. But nowadays, “irrational filial piety” will turn into “foolish filial piety”. Therefore, what people should do is to carry out "rational filial piety" and carry forward Chinese traditional culture critically so as to make contribution to building a harmonious socialist society.

Culture in Western Diplomacy
Authors: Huang Dongling
Published: December 2020

What could be more antithetical than the alliance of the words “culture” and “political power”? Yet, for over fifty years, the process of European integration has been linking these opposing concepts. European culture, ‘a sort of UFO’ for most Europeans and it has become a major political and philosophical issue. Given their political and strategic importance so-called ‘geo-cultural’ issues have been called upon to constitute, along with geopolitical and economic issues, a governance axis. The European Union’s current mode of cultural action, intrinsic to national policies, is unable to address these issues. Indeed, the EU should completely rethink its conception and political implication of culture, and recognize its great importance, both for the success of European integration, and for the new civic relationships which are developing today in local, national and global communities.

Hume’s Concept of Universality: a Perspective of “Usefulness”
Authors: Yang Pingping
Published: December 2020

There are many arguments about Hume in the history of philosophy, especially after Kant criticized Hume, Kant believed that there is no concept of "universality" in Hume's ethics. By analyzing Hume's text, this article points out that Hume also pursues "universality", and his "universality" is a universality in the sense of usefulness. Not only does his ethics have the concept of universality, but Hume also pursues universality in the field of nature science. This is helpful for the academic community to re-recognize Hume and further promote the study of Hume.
Discussion on the Misconceptions of Curriculum Ideological and Political Education
Authors: Zhang He
Published: December 2020

Curriculum ideological and political education, an educational guideline that encourages the integration of ideological and political education in all subjects and courses, is being widely adopted in Chinese universities. It aims to cultivate the comprehensive abilities of students with moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetical grounding, instead of focusing on the acquisition of knowledge only. Misconceptions of this concept are still commonly seen, however, and they are hindering the effective implementation of the guideline. This paper attempts to discuss three common misconceptions and provide insights that hopefully will clear up some confusion. Some practical approaches are also proposed in the end for teachers to follow.
Research on the Employed Ideological Education of Graduates of College of Agriculture and Forestry
Authors: Zhao Tiefeng
Published: December 2020

With the continuous development of social economy, the employed competition of college graduates is becoming more and more fierce, especially for the graduates of agricultural and forestry colleges and universities. Based on the characteristic needs of the professional fields of colleges and universities, their employed directions are mainly concentrated in rural areas. The regional distribution of industrial products has led to an increase in the complexity and instability of agricultural and forestry graduates’ employment ideas.

This paper discusses the appropriateness of the free translation and literal translation on the basis of the study of Renjian Religious organizations’s translations. The result shows that there are more than ten free English translations of Renjian organizations in China while only six versions can be found in the English world. Different free translations only focus on one aspect of Renjian organizations, which cannot show the whole scene of Renjian organizations. For example, translation “humanistic Religious organizations” focuses on its humanity, showing the contrariness between “humanism” and “Religious organizations”; translation “engaged Religious organizations” focuses on its sociality, mistaking “Renjian Religious organizations” which is not so engaged as the same Religious organizations of Dalai Lama. Due to Renjian Religious organizations’s complexity, the phonemic translation of “Renjian Religious organizations” is more appropriate to promote its communication with the English World.
