Contemporary Spatial Publicness: Its New Characteristics and Democratic Possibilities
Authors: Han Soyoung , Kim Joong Won , Kwon Yoonku
Published: August 2019

In this study, we explore the recognition of publicness as understood by everyday users of public space. By analyzing news articles in South Korea selected from 1 January 2010, to 31 December 2018, this study examines a discourse which is largely missing in the existing studies—the subjective experience and framing of contemporary spatial publicness by its end-users. After analyzing the contents from a total of 583 articles in the KINDS database, we develop a general typology of how contemporary spatial publicness is represented in South Korea. Although the scope and background of questions surrounding South Korea’s recognition of contemporary spatial publicness are different from that of Western countries, a similar debate has emerged about what publicness means in the context of the architecture and urban space around the globe. By developing different thematic dimensions in the representations of contemporary spatial publicness, we further discuss the implications for future research to examine the pragmatic sensibilities of individuals and utility of semi-public/private space.
Evidence of Green Areas, Cycle Infrastructure and Attractive Destinations Working Together in Development on Urban Cycling
Authors: Campos-Sánchez Francisco Sergio , Valenzuela-Montes Luis Miguel , Abarca-Álvarez Francisco Javier
Published: August 2019

The built environment influences and promotes cycling that has now become a challenge for sustainable urban mobility in many cities where this mode of transport carries little weight. This is the case for Granada (Spain), a medium-sized city in southern Europe, which as a university city and with lots of green areas, could find potential supportive factors to promote cycling. Website-apps with a Global Positioning System (GPS), such as Ciclogreen that encourage active accessibility try to promote cycling and are supported by the University of Granada. The aim of this work is to assess the capacity of green areas and some influential factors of their built environment to attract cycling routes. To this end, a spatial analysis was made and interpreted by a statistical model to check the correlation between these factors and a high number of cycling routes through or near the green areas. The results show a high number of cycling routes within urban surroundings that include green areas, cycle lanes, university facilities, and public car parks in proximity relationships. Identifying synergies among these urban factors and the information and incentive coming from a digital catalyst in shape on an app could be useful in urban planning for cycling.
A Surrogate Video-Based Safety Methodology for Diagnosis and Evaluation of Low-Cost Pedestrian-Safety Countermeasures: The Case of Cochabamba, Bolivia
Authors: Scholl Lynn , Elagaty Mohamed , Ledezma-Navarro Bismarck , Zamora Edgar , Miranda-Moreno Luis
Published: August 2019

Due to a lack of reliable data collection systems, traffic fatalities and injuries are often under-reported in developing countries. Recent developments in surrogate road safety methods and video analytics tools offer an alternative approach that can be both lower cost and more time efficient when crash data is incomplete or missing. However, very few studies investigating pedestrian road safety in developing countries using these approaches exist. This research uses an automated video analytics tool to develop and analyze surrogate traffic safety measures and to evaluate the effectiveness of temporary low-cost countermeasures at selected pedestrian crossings at risky intersections in the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia. Specialized computer vision software is used to process hundreds of hours of video data and generate data on road users’ speed and trajectories. We find that motorcycles, turning movements, and roundabouts, are among the key factors related to pedestrian crash risk, and that the implemented treatments were effective at four-legged intersections but not at traditional-design roundabouts. This study demonstrates the applicability of the surrogate methodology based on automated video analytics in the Latin American context, where traditional methods are challenging to implement. The methodology could serve as a tool to rapidly evaluate temporary treatments before they are permanently implemented and replicated.
Modeling the Spatial Formation Mechanism of Poverty-Stricken Counties in China by Using Geographical Detector
Authors: Zhou Lei , Zhen Feng , Wang Yiqing , Xiong Liyang
Published: August 2019

The poverty-stricken counties in China follow a spatial pattern of regional poverty. Examining the influential factors of this spatial pattern can provide an important reference that can guide China in its implementation of a poverty alleviation policy. By applying a geographical detector and using a sample of poverty-stricken counties in China, this study explores the spatial relationship of county distribution with spatial influential factors, including terrain relief, cultivated land quality, water resource abundance, road network density, and the locational index. These poverty-stricken counties are then classified, and the main factors that restrict their economic development are determined. The results highlight that the selected poverty-stricken counties suffer a severe condition in each of the spatial factors mentioned above. Most of these counties are classified under the location index, terrain relief, and road network density constraint types. Each of the aforementioned spatial influential factors has unique controlling mechanisms on the distribution of these poverty-stricken counties. Most of these counties are constrained by two or multiple spatial influential factors, except for some counties located in South and Central China, which are mainly constrained by a single spatial influential factor. Therefore, these single factor-constrained poverty-stricken counties warrant more attention when a developmental policy for poverty alleviation is to be implemented. The various aspects of poverty-stricken counties constrained by multiple factors must be comprehensively considered with a special focus on their development. The differentiated policies must be designed for these poverty-stricken counties on the basis of their spatial influential factors.

Published: August 2019

Many building assessment tools exist for guiding building facilities toward sustainability. Some tools are internationally recognized while others are for specific countries based on local needs. This study endeavored to develop a building sustainability assessment framework for Kazakhstan. The framework was developed based on the review of building performance assessment methods such as leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED), building research establishment environmental assessment methodology (BREEAM), comprehensive assessment system for building environmental efficiency (CASBEE), and international initiative for sustainable built environment (SBTool), and considering the local conditions in Kazakhstan. A two-round Delphi survey was employed to develop the assessment categories and indicators by local experts from the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Mean and standard deviation values were used to analyze the survey data and to make the decision on the level of agreement amongst the Delphi panelists. The proposed framework consists of nine assessment categories, 46 assessment indicators, and 142 parameters covering the four climatic regions in Kazakhstan and considering the environmental, social, and economic perspectives of the country’s sustainable development goals. The introduction of the framework is expected to serve as a reference for establishing the regional building sustainability assessment tool that will aid to increase the awareness of the public and help policymakers to solve sustainability-related issues in Kazakhstan.
The Physical and Chemical Properties of Soil Crust in Straw Checkerboards with Different Ages in the Mu Us Sandland, Northern China
Authors: Wang Juan , Wang Rui
Published: August 2019

Straw checkerboards, as a mechanical sand barrier, are one of the most important engineering measures for sand control and vegetation restoration. In this study, we characterized the physical and chemical properties of soil crust treated with straw checkerboard in the Mu Us Sandland, Northern China, and investigated the mechanism of sand stabilization and revegetation in the arid area. We collected soil crust from 1.0 × 1.0 m straw checkerboards after revegetation intermittently over 10 years, and then measured properties such as soil particle size composition, bulk density, soil nutrients, pH, and other indicators in the laboratory. During the progress of straw checkerboard treatment, the results showed a significant decrease in percentage of soil crusts sand and a corresponding increase in the portion of silt and clay with straw checkerboard treatment years. The age of straw checkerboard treatment was positively correlated with soil nutrients, such as organic matter, total N, total P, total K, available N, available P, and available K. While pH showed a slightly rising trend, electrical conductivity (EC) was negatively correlated with crust life. The number of plant species has significantly changed, herbaceous vegetation succession being replaced by shrubs over 10 years, and vegetation coverage peaked at the sixth year. This study can represent a successful example of restoration in arid desert regions, thereby supplying more theoretical basis for sand fixation and dessert restoration.
Transport Infrastructure Interdependency: Metro’s Failure Propagation in the Road Transport System in Mexico City
Authors: Santos-Reyes Jaime , Padilla-Perez Diego , Beard Alan N
Published: August 2019

On Friday, 3 March 2017, at about 18:19 h, a metro track failed, prompting about 50% of Mexico City’s metro line-C to a halt. The track failure occurred at a peak hour when tens of thousands of commuters were heading to their homes. Given the interdependency among the modes of transportation in the capital city, the incident caused heavy disruption; it is believed that about 45,000 commuters were affected. A systemic safety management system (‘SSMS’) model has been used for the analysis. The results showed that: a) the model demonstrated its potential to the analysis of the transport system interdependency; it has been found that failure propagates vertically and horizontally; b) the model highlighted that failure propagation has to do with a coordination function; c) in relation to the case study, it has been found that the actions taken by the decision-makers during the emergency were less than adequate; d) the commuters traveling patterns should be considered when designing emergency plans; and, e) more generally, there is a need for the creation of a system to manage critical infrastructure protection in the context of Mexico. It is hoped that by conducting such analyses, we may gain a better understanding of the complexity of cities.
A Review of Cardiovascular Toxicity of Microcystins
Authors: Cao Linghui , Massey Isaac Yaw , Feng Hai , Yang Fei
Published: August 2019

The mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in China is on the rise. The increasing burden of CVD in China has become a major public health problem. Cyanobacterial blooms have been recently considered a global environmental concern. Microcystins (MCs) are the secondary products of cyanobacteria metabolism and the most harmful cyanotoxin found in water bodies. Recent studies provide strong evidence of positive associations between MC exposure and cardiotoxicity, representing a threat to human cardiovascular health. This review focuses on the effects of MCs on the cardiovascular system and provides some evidence that CVD could be induced by MCs. We summarized the current knowledge of the cardiovascular toxicity of MCs, with regard to direct cardiovascular toxicity and indirect cardiovascular toxicity. Toxicity of MCs is mainly governed by the increasing level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative stress in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, the inhibition activities of serine/threonine protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A) and the destruction of cytoskeletons, which finally induce the occurrence of CVD. To protect human health from the threat of MCs, this paper also puts forward some directions for further research.
Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor Does Not Influence Clostridium Perfringens α-Toxin-Induced Myonecrosis in Mice
Authors: Takehara Masaya , Sonobe Yuuta , Bandou Hiroto , Kobayashi Keiko , Nagahama Masahiro
Published: August 2019

Clostridium perfringens type A causes gas gangrene characterized by myonecrosis and development of an effective therapy for treating affected patients is of clinical importance. It was recently reported that the expression of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is greatly up-regulated by C. perfringens infection. However, the role of G-CSF in C. perfringens-mediated myonecrosis is still unclear. Here, we assessed the destructive changes in C. perfringens-infected skeletal muscles and tested whether inhibition of G-CSF receptor (G-CSFR) signaling or administration of recombinant G-CSF affects the tissue injury. Severe edema, contraction of muscle fiber diameter, and increased plasma creatine kinase activity were observed in mice intramuscularly injected with C. perfringens type A, and the destructive changes were α-toxin-dependent, indicating that infection induces the destruction of skeletal muscle in an α-toxin-dependent manner. G-CSF plays important roles in the protection of tissue against damage and in the regeneration of injured tissue. However, administration of a neutralizing antibody against G-CSFR had no profound impact on the destructive changes to skeletal muscle. Moreover, administration of recombinant human G-CSF, filgrastim, imparted no inhibitory effect against the destructive changes caused by C. perfringens. Together, these results indicate that G-CSF is not beneficial for treating C. perfringens α-toxin-mediated myonecrosis, but highlight the importance of revealing the mechanism by which C. perfringens negates the protective effects of G-CSF in skeletal muscle.
Identifying Quark Matter in Hybrid Stars through Relativistic Tidal Deformations
Authors: Irving Bryen , Klähn Thomas , Jaikumar Prashanth , Salinas Marc , Wei Wei
Published: August 2019

We study a specific model of neutron star matter that supports a phase transition to quark matter at high density and examine parameter ranges for consistency with the mass-weighted tidal deformability of Λ ˜ = 300 − 230 + 420 for a mass ratio of q ∈ [ 0.73 , 1.0 ] , as inferred from observations of gravitational waves from the binary neutron star merger event GW170817. By using this observation to restrict the parameter space for the equation of state (EoS) model used throughout this study, we aim to assess the possibility of a potential solution to the masquerade and flavor camouflage problems for hybrid EoS models. Assuming the two stars have the same EoS, in which the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree Fock (DBHF) nuclear model transitions to the vBag quark model, we see if the parameter space of these hybrid model stars are restricted due to the adherence to the reported Λ 1.4 ∈ 70 , 580 and M m a x ∈ [ 2.01 , 2.16 ] M ⊙ constraints. Upon completion, we find that, while the parameter space for our model does get restricted, it does not ultimately resolve the masquerade and flavor camouflage problems.
Intestinal HAdV Infection: Tissue Specificity, Persistence, and Implications for Antiviral Therapy
Authors: Kosulin Karin
Published: August 2019

Human adenovirus (HAdV) causes infections predominantly in early childhood and the tissue tropism of specific HAdV species determines the clinical manifestation, including infections of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, and keratoconjunctivitis. Why HAdV shows such a tropism has not yet been fully elucidated, but in the intestine different mechanisms for virus entry or resistence to immune modulatory factors have been described. Recently identified antiviral strategies by interferons provide evidence about the repression of E1A and maybe even promote HAdV persistence. The presence of HAdV in a persistent status in the gut is of importance in the setting of pediatric stem cell transplant recipients where HAdV detection in stool usually preceds clinical signs and severe infections are related to mortality. The reactivation of persistent intestinal HAdV infections in these patients needs further investigation also with regard to successful therapy options. In addition, several newly identified recombinant HAdV types have been isolated from stool samples, thus raising the question of possible recombination events in the gut. In this review, intestinal HAdV infections are discussed in relation to the tissue tropism, persistence, recombination, and new in-vitro models to enhance the knowledge about virus–host interactions and support the development of new treatment approaches.
O ENSINO DE SOCIOLOGIA RETRATADO NAS TESES E DISSERTAÇÕES ENTRE 1996 E 2015: UM ESTADO DA ARTE.
Authors: Antunes Katiuscia Vargas , Garcia Edmar Augusto Semeão , Alves Amanda Fontes
Published: August 2019

Este trabalho tem como finalidade apresentar os resultados do projeto de pesquisa “Estado da arte do ensino de Sociologia na Educação Básica: o que dizem as dissertações e teses sobre o tema”, apoiado pelo Programa de Iniciação Científica BIC/UFJF. O objetivo central foi realizar uma investigação do tipo estado da arte das produções acadêmicas no campo da pós-graduação strictu senso, analisando dissertações e teses que abordam a temática do ensino de Sociologia no Ensino Médio. A pesquisa se orientou pelos pressupostos da investigação do tipo estado da arte, conforme descrito por André et al (1999). Nossas estratégias consistiram em: 1º) mapear e quantificar a produção sobre ensino de Sociologia, no período 1996 a 2015; 2º) categorizar e descrever a produção encontrada e 3º) analisar e (re)escrever a história da consolidação da Sociologia como disciplina escolar e do ensino de Sociologia como campo de pesquisa no Brasil. Apesar das pesquisas do tipo estado da arte sofrerem críticas em relação ao seu alcance, por se valerem, muitas vezes, de uma leitura parcial dos trabalhos, concordamos com Handfas e Maçaira (2014) ao afirmarem que a pertinência de pesquisa como a que apresentamos aqui, se dá pela necessidade de conhecermos a construção de um campo de estudos, neste caso, o do ensino de sociologia na escola básica.
Twitter como espaço para comunicação governamental? as falsas promessas dos Presidentes na América Latina
Authors: Ponce Matías
Published: August 2019

O objetivo do artigo é explicar o uso que Presidentes e ex-Presidentes latino-americanos fazem do Twitter, empregando o estudo de caso como modelo para refutar as teorias que apontam as redes sociais como espaço para melhorar a interação entre cidadãos e atores políticos. A metodologia se baseia na análise quantitativa de uso das redes sociais por 17 Presidentes e ex-Presidentes em 2017. O uso das redes sociais por atores políticos reproduz os paradigmas clássicos da comunicação política sustentados por um ator central que transmite conteúdo em massa e não interage diretamente com os cidadãos. Existe, porém uma lacuna a preencher sobre o que os governos entendem por Twitter e o uso que fazem dele. O artigo explora e identifica padrões de comportamento e de uso do Twitter por atores políticos e serve de base para futuras investigações no campo. Esta pesquisa é realizada dez anos após a definição de Karpf (2009) de política 2.0, que introduziu o termo considerando a participação de atores políticos nas redes sociais, o que reduziu custos e facilitou a comunicação entre os cidadãos e seus governantes, com informação abundante e a promessa de maior participação e interação entre as instituições políticas e a população.
JURNALISME WARGA DAMPAK TSUNAMI DI ACEH (STUDI KASUS MEULABOH)
Authors: Muzakkir Muzakkir
Published: August 2019

The article is a study in the background with observations of good citizen journalism, by preaching information that can provide positive value for the development of publications. Not a stove that always heats the situation and situation. "Citizen journalism" is arguably the most recent finding in the current journalistic domain. A term where people intervene to share information is like a reporter. Various sources view differently about who actually started this trend. There are sources who say citizen journalism was pioneered by the tsunami of 26 December 2004 in Aceh. At that time, Acehnese people through a personal documentation video recorded water scenes that devastated Aceh and its surroundings. These videos play an important role in the supply of news for mainstream / mainstream media. There is another source who mentions that one of the private television sets opened video shipments of citizens who reported the incident in their respective homes through their own citizen journalism platform. Whatever claims to who initiates "Citizen Journalism", mainstream media seems to be seriously working on this fairly new market share. All may be one view that the future of the journalistic world is in "Citizen Journalism". A distinctive feature of citizen journalism lies in the framing of the news. Framing is a term in the world of journalism about how a media frame / construct / process the reality that occurs in society into a story, which is certainly in line with the tendency of the media concerned. In the case of citizen journalism which positions itself as a freestanding reporter, it is not bound by any media institution. From there, a personal framing is formed, which is nothing but the framing of the citizen itself which incidentally tends to construct reality in the field without any inclination. That is to say, something that is not reduced or exaggerated for certain purposes. The earthquake in Meulaboh was reported not only to have caused a tsunami in the western region of Aceh, but also struck the island of Sabang. At that time, the Satlak for Disaster Management and Refugee (PBP) Region III of West Aceh, until March 13, 2005 reported that the death toll reached 12,873 people, 2,403 people missing and 73,915 people displaced.

KONGLOMERASI MEDIA DAN POLITIK: ANALISIS KOMODIFIKASI TV SATELIT BERLANGGANAN INDOVISION DALAM PESTA DEMOKRASI
Authors: Agusta Rivga
Published: August 2019

Media ownership is closely related to political-economic interests. Whether it involves power over the economic industry that encompasses its fields, as well as power in the political sphere. Ownership of subscription satellite TV also has its own advantages in the sphere of media-political economy. In the momentum of the 2014 legislative and presidential elections, subscription satellite TV Indovision as a subsidiary of broadcast media owned by Harry Tanoesodibjo has its own role. In this article, Indovision's role in the democratic party was analyzed by looking at the theory of commodification of audiences and the commodification of content, both of which are interrelated in perfecting the commodification of political advertising content in Indovision subscription TV. The analysis was carried out using a qualitative descriptive research method with the presentation of several points, including Indovision Domination in the Subscribed Satellite TV Market; Indovision Commodification (covering commodification of audiences and content); and Commodification of Political Advertising Content. Keywords: Political Economy of Media,, TV Cable, Content Commocification, Audiens Commodification.
DIVUSI INOVASI DAN BUDAYA: PENGGUNAAN BATEE RANUP DALAM TRADISI MEU-UROH (STUDI KASUS DI DESA COT LAGAN KECAMATAN WOYLA KABUPATEN ACEH BARAT)
Authors: Hidayati Rahma , Juliani Reni , Nidar Nidar
Published: August 2019

Aceh is a region rich in tradition. One of the traditions that continues to be practiced is the meandering tradition. But in practice this tradition has undergone innovation. The ancient traditions were carried out by bringing a meaningful message that has a high meaning and now this tradition is carried out by bringing a "betel tree" print invitation. This happened to Cot Lagan community of Woyla Subdistrict of Aceh Barat District, so there was a cultural shift in the mega-uroh tradition. The purpose of this study is to know the cause of the cultural shift. This research uses qualitative method with data collection technique through interview and documentation. The results of the study show that the shift in cultural use of batee ranup in the tradition of meu-uroh is caused by the lack of understanding and love of the people about the culture so it is very easy to accept the new culture that enters and develops among them. This shift in culture is also due to the rapid development of technology that has brought many changes in the life of the community, including in terms of culture. The development of this technology brings betel arts to the middle of the community as an invitation and gradually replaces the batee ranup position in the meu-uroh tradition. In addition, the use of betel arts invitations is also considered as cheaper and more practical in comparison to using the batee ranup. Keywords: Innovasion, Cultural, Batee Ranup, Meu-uroh.

КрещениелахмидскогоцаряАн-НуманаIII(579601)
Authors: Mishin D.E.
Published: August 2019

This article is dedicated to the baptizing of alNumn III (king from 579 to 601), Arab ruler from the Lakhmid dynasty that reigned in AlHirah from the early 3rd through the 7th century as a viceroy of the Sassanids. Christianity is thought to have spread to AlHirah at the end of the 4th century at the latest and was consistently gaining more ground there. Nestorianism was the dominant ideology of the AlHirah church, the same way as it was the official confession of the Sassanid state. Gradually, Nestorian Christians started to appear amid the Lakhmids. alNumn III was aptized in 593 (or 594) AD, testimonials rendering this event can be found in the appendix to the article. Both Nestorians and Monophysitists had been competing for the kings confession, the former eventually won. alNumns baptism was the result of his long spiritual quest, although he had sought the Sassanid King Chosroes II Parwz consent for the procedure. After the baptism of alNumn and that of his relatives and nobility, Christianity in the form of Nestorianism gradually superseded traditional Arab beliefs as well as Monophysitism and eventually became the dominant confession in AlHirah.

Статья посвящена крещению анНумана III (годы правления 579 601), арабского царя из династии Лахмидов, члены которой правили в Хире в начале III VII вв. как наместники Сасанидов. Христианство проникло в Хиру самое позднее в конце IV в. и в дальнейшем поступательно утверждалось в ней. Господствующим идейным направлением в хирской церкви было несторианство, которого придерживалась церковь Сасанидской державы. С течением времени христианенесториане появились и среди Лахмидов. АнНуман III крестился в 593/94 г. рассказы источников об этом событии приведены в приложении к статье. За духовное влияние на царя боролись несториане и монофизиты победа в итоге осталась за первыми из них. К крещению анНумана привели духовные искания, хотя он предварительно согласовал этот шаг с сасанидским царём Хосровом II Парвизом. После крещения анНумана, его родственников и знати христианское вероучение несторианского толка окончательно стало господствующим в Хире, вытеснив традиционные арабские верования, а также монофизитство.
ХождениеиеромонахаЛеонтиявЕгипет иПалестинув17631766гг.:Исламиегоносители в«историижизнимладшего Григоровича»

Published: August 2019

Leonty (born as Luka Stepanovich Zelensky in 1726, died in 1807), priestmonk from the Monastery of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Poltava, undertook the pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1763 1766. His itinerary included Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula and Palestine. After his trip to Levant he arrived to Istanbul where he became the chaplain of the church attached to the Russian Embassy. Since that time, the Ottoman capital became his home for the rest of his days. He only left Istanbul for Russia twice in 1771 1775 and 1787 1793. In 1767 Leonty was honoured the title of archimandrite. In 1788 the cleric resigned from the pastoral service and in his advanced age painstakingly worked on his multivolume autobiography. The first three volumes of Leontys memoirs are dedicated to the detailed and vivid description of his pilgrimage to the renowned holy places of Egypt and Palestine. Leontys memoirs are a quaint mixture of various facts, inner dialogues and personal observations of the local inhabitants, their occupations and lifestyles he encountered, including established beliefs, manners and customs. The aim of the present article is to survey particular facets of Leontys narrative as a valuable source for scholars dealing with Ottoman history and to examine his ambivalent attitude towards Islam and its followers living in the ArabOttoman world.

Иеромонах полтавского Крестовоздвиженского монастыря (the Monastery of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Poltava) Леония (в миру Лука Степанович Зеленский) (1726 1807) совершил хождение в Святую землю в 1763 1766 гг. Его маршрут включал посещение мест поклонения в Египте, включая Синай, и Палестине. По завершении паломничества он остался на службе в церкви при российском посольстве в Стамбуле, где прожил до конца жизни. В России ему довелось побывать в России только дважды в 1771 1775 гг. и 1787 1793 гг. В 1767 г. Леоний был возведен в сан архимандрита, а в 1788 г. он оставил место церковного настоятеля и на закате жизни всецело отдался литературному творчеству. Его перу принадлежит тринадцатитомные мемуары, первые три тома которой посвящены описанию его путешествия к святым местам Египта и Палестины. Сочинение Леонтия лишено композиционного единства и представляет собой причудливую смесь разнообразных фактов, бытовых и психологических зарисовок, метких наблюдений и внутренних диалогов, в которых исследователи найдут много важного и полезного. Одним из сюжетов, привлекательных для историковвостоковедов, является тема отношения российского богомольца к исламу и его последователям представителям арабоосманского мира.

Pair-instability and pulsational pair-instability supernovae (PPISNe) have not been unambiguously observed so far. They are, however, promising candidates for the progenitors of the heaviest binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected. If these BBHs are the product of binary evolution, then PPISNe could occur in very close binaries. Motivated by this, we discuss the implications of a PPISN happening with a close binary companion and what impact these events have on the formation of merging BBHs through binary evolution. For this, we have computed a set of models of metal-poor (Z
⊙/10) single helium stars using the MESA software instrument. For PPISN progenitors with pre-pulse masses >50 M
⊙ we find that, after a pulse, heat deposited throughout the layers of the star that remain bound causes it to expand to more than 100 R
⊙ for periods of 102–104 yr depending on the mass of the progenitor. This results in long-lived phases of Roche lobe overflow or even common-envelope events if there is a close binary companion, leading to additional electromagnetic transients associated with PPISN eruptions. If we ignore the effect of these interactions, we find that mass loss from PPISNe reduces the final BH spin by ∼30%, induces eccentricities below the threshold of detectability of the LISA observatory, and can produce a double-peaked distribution of measured chirp masses in BBH mergers observed by ground-based detectors.
Effect of Hydrofluorocarbons and Hydrofluoroolefins in a Household Refrigerator as a Substitute for R134a
Authors: Hasheer Shaik Mohammad , Srinivas Kolla
Published: August 2019

Now a days R134a can be used in domestic refrigerators and in air conditioning of automobiles. As per Kyoto protocol the usage of R134a is restricted due to their higher GWP value. The GWP value of this refrigerant is around 1430. So in this article, thermodynamic analysis of HFC-152a, HFO refrigerants-1234ze(E) and 1234yf was done in a household refrigeration system as direct substitute to HFC-134a.The performance of the household refrigerator was compared in terms of outlet temperature of the compressor, volumetric cooling capacity (VCC), refrigeration effect, work done by the compressor and coefficient of performance (COP). The entire analysis is carried out at various operating conditions of condenser and evaporator temperatures i.e. condensation temperature of 25°C,35°C & 45°C and evaporating temperatures ranging between −20°C to 10°C.From the theoretical results, it can be concluded that R1234yf can be used as a direct substitute to R134a.

In the present study, aluminum alloy 2219 of two different heat treatment states were selected and welded using the friction stir welding process to evaluate the effect substrate on the joint properties. The microstructural observations have exhibited the difference in their characteristics between two heat treatment conditions of 2219-O and T6 conditions. The tensile strength of the AA2219-T6 joints much higher than the AA2219-O joints. Consequently, the microhardness distribution across the different zones varying with two different heat treated conditions. The failure locations and fracture surface features are revealed the significant differences among these two heat treated conditions with the change in their failure location and the fracture morphologies. The optimal welding conditions were analyzed to determine the high strength of the welds with excellent metallurgical properties of the welds.

The strength of metals and their alloys are enhanced by adding secondary reinforcement particles like Conventional crystalline and non-crystalline particles such as SiC, glass and Al2O3. These particles provide weak interfacial bonding due to the crystallographic structure mismatch or undesirable interface reaction products. Quasicrystals provide strong interfaces with the matrix due to their low interfacial energy. Their low strength and stiffness make them useful in non-critical stress applications such as instrument panels, seat frames and gear box housings. Reinforcing quasicrystals to Mg alloys greatly enhances their strength or stiffness. The literature on quasicrystal (in-situ and ex-situ) reinforced Mg alloy composites are critically reviewed to show the importance of quasicrystal reinforcement in Mg alloys and the effect of different manufacturing process technologies such as casting process, powder metallurgy, hot extrusion on mechanical properties.

A comparative study of three different aluminium alloys, Al2618, Al4032 and Al6061 made internal combustion engine pistons is done on their responses under mechanical and thermal loads using finite element methods. In this study, a 3D solid model of piston is created in CATIA and the simulations of the static structural analysis, steady-state thermal analysis and transient thermal analysis are carried out in ANSYS. Stress and temperature distributions on critical areas of piston are pointed out for appropriate modification in piston design. The temperature and heat flux variations with time are presented in transient thermal analysis. Taguchi method and topological optimization are applied to optimize the process parameters and to select the appropriate material for the piston.

In the present situation the growth of population is increasing rapidly. In view of this, the development of the buildings are changing its dimension to high rise structures further having trends of structural irregularities. These kinds of irregularities in the structure cannot be avoided as it is more vulnerable to the seismic actions. The structure fails by the uneven moments created by the seismic actions because of the irregularities in the structure which is based on the parameters like storey drift, displacement, torsional effects etc., In this paper the effects of the torsional irregularity is studied and the failure has been minimized by adding necessary elements like shear wall and bracings where ever required. In Present study we have considered the 20 storey building of reinforced concrete structure which includes five models of different regular and irregular shaped structures which are subjected to earthquake load and are modeled by using ETABS version 9. Analysis results elaborate the parameters like displacement, time period, storey drift and comparisons of the results among the set of models.
