Evaluation of tilt control for wind-turbine arrays in the atmospheric boundary layer
Authors: Cossu Carlo
Published: May 2021

Abstract. Wake redirection is a promising approach designed to mitigate turbine–wake interactions which have a negative impact on the performance and lifetime of wind farms.
It has recently been found that substantial power gains can be obtained by tilting the rotors of spanwise-periodic wind-turbine arrays. Rotor tilt is associated with the generation of coherent streamwise vortices which deflect wakes towards the ground and, by exploiting the vertical wind shear, replace them with higher-momentum fluid (high-speed streaks).
The objective of this work is to evaluate power gains that can be obtained by tilting rotors in spanwise-periodic wind-turbine arrays immersed in the atmospheric boundary layer and, in particular, to analyze the influence of the rotor size on power gains in the case where the turbines emerge from the atmospheric surface layer.
We show that, for the case of wind-aligned arrays, large power gains can be obtained for positive tilt angles of the order of 30∘. Power gains are substantially enhanced by operating tilted-rotor turbines at thrust coefficients higher than in the reference configuration.
These power gains initially increase with the rotor size reaching a maximum for rotor diameters of the order of 3.6 boundary layer momentum thicknesses (for the considered cases) and decrease for larger sizes.
Maximum power gains are obtained for wind-turbine spanwise spacings which are very similar to those of large-scale and very-large-scale streaky motions which are naturally amplified in turbulent boundary layers. These results are all congruent with the findings of previous investigations of passive control of canonical boundary layers for drag-reduction applications where high-speed streaks replaced wakes of spanwise-periodic rows of wall-mounted roughness elements.
Time and Collective Biology: Relationships Between Individual and Societal Life Course Ideologies in Mexican Men’s Sexual Health Treatment
Authors: Wentzell Emily
Published: May 2021

People may seek to embody cultural ideals of the life course through their use or rejection of medical interventions, including but not limited to anti-aging treatments. Here, I analyze this phenomenon via interviews with men engaging with two different forms of sexual health medicine in urban Mexico: erectile-dysfunction treatment and testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). I argue that, in contrast to the biomedical understanding of patients as individuals who change during their lives, my interlocutors understood themselves as components in broader “collective biologies” that change on a longer timeline. These are culturally-defined groups that people understand to be comprised of interrelated members whose behaviors concretely affect the group’s physical and social well-being over time. In both medical arenas discussed here, men used or rejected sexual health interventions in response to local narratives about the nature of the Mexican population as a collective biology, including ideas about how it should change over time away from its roots in the colonial past. They characterized predispositions to machismo and disinterest in preventative health care as embodied inheritances that the Mexican population should reject in order to achieve health-promoting modernity in the future. My analysis describes how these interlocutors sought to live out desirably modern forms of race and gender through their medical decisions in a way that they hoped would contribute to positive, embodied change in the Mexican social body over time. These findings show that, despite the assumptions of individualism generally naturalized in anti-aging treatment and biomedicine, people may make medical decisions in an effort to aid collective change over population-level timescales.
Knowing and Not Knowing about Fertility: Childless Women and Age-Related Fertility Decline
Authors: Martin Lauren Jade
Published: May 2021

Knowledge claims may play an essential role in reproductive decision-making, as individuals seek out, assess, reject, and use information about health and fertility gathered from numerous sources. This paper focuses specifically on childless women’s self-perceptions of knowledge about infertility and age-related fertility decline. How knowledgeable do childless women perceive themselves to be about fertility and infertility in general, and from where they do they obtain this knowledge? Furthermore, how knowledgeable do childless women perceive themselves to be about their own fertility and ability to conceive, and to what do they attribute this knowledge? Data for this project was gathered through semi-structured interviews with 72 childless American women; the interviews were inductively and thematically coded using qualitative-analysis software. Childless women assessed their general knowledge of fertility as confident, self-doubting, or novices, and they claimed multiple sources as the basis of this knowledge, including formal education and training, media and popular culture, and family members and peers. When assessing knowledge about their own fecundity, the women tended to rely on two additional sources: biomedical diagnostics and embodied knowledge. Childless women’s awareness of average statistics of age-related fertility decline did not necessarily translate to individual self-knowledge about their own bodies and fecundity. Because knowledge claims were based on multiple information sources given unequal weight, this raises questions about authoritative knowledge—that is, the knowledge that “counts” for women as they make decisions regarding their future childbearing.
Thinking About ‘Completed Life’ Euthanasia in the Netherlands from the Generative Perspective: A Reflexive Exploration
Authors: Van der Geest Sjaak , Satalkar Priya
Published: May 2021

In this reflective essay, we explore the concept of generativity and propose it as a more positive interpretation of the experience of ‘completed life’ and its bearing on the wish to die. In 2010, more than 100,000 people in the Netherlands signed a petition requesting an extension of the existing euthanasia legislation. They asked the government to grant euthanasia to older persons who feel tired of life and who regard their lives as complete, in the absence of physical or psychic sickness. Debates about ‘completed life’ euthanasia have continued since then, but the various factions in these debates have been unable to reach consensus or conclusion. In this paper, we analyse the concept of generativity and use this to interpret statements by supporters of ‘completed life’ euthanasia. Next, we disentangle common idioms that people use when they grow older and feel that death is approaching yet still out of reach. The aim of this article is to invite readers to reflect on the wish for ‘completed life’ euthanasia as a meaningful end-of-life reaction.

Evaluation of the land value-added benefit brought by urban rail transit: The case in Changsha, China
Authors: Tang Wenbin , Cui Qingbin , Zhang Feilian , Yan Hongyan
Published: May 2021

Accurate evaluation of land value-added benefit brought by urban rail transit (URT) is critical for project investment decision making and value capture strategy development. Early studies have focused on the value impact strength under the assumption of the same impact range for all stations. However, the value impact range at different stations may vary owing to different accessibilities. Therefore, the present study releases this assumption and incorporates the changed impact range into the land value-added analysis. It presents a method to determine the range of land value-added impact and sample selection using the generalized transportation cost model, then spatial econometric models are further developed to estimate the impact strength. On the basis of these models, the entire value-added benefit brought by URT is evaluated. A case study of the Changsha Metro Line 2 in China is discussed to demonstrate the procedure, model, and analysis of spatial impact. The empirical analysis shows a dumbbell-shaped impact on the land value-added benefit along the transit line with a distance-dependent pattern at each station. In addition, the land value-added benefit from Changsha Metro Line 2 reached 12.099 billion USD. Lastly, two main value-added benefit capture modes are discussed, namely, land integration development and special land tax.

Published: May 2021

Leptin is released by adipose tissue. Leptin can cross the blood–brain barrier and bind to receptors on neurons in brain areas to exert its biological function when released into circulation. This study aimed to determine the influences of intra-amygdalar administration of high and low doses of leptin on anxiety, depression, learning behaviors of rats. In the experimental protocol I, intra-amygdalar injection of high and low doses of leptin (0.1 and 1 μg/ kg) and saline were administered 30 min before the behavioral tests. Then, the animals were exposed to open field, elevated plus maze, Porsolt and Morris water maze tests for measuring of behaviors. In experimental protocol 2, the cerebrospinal fluids of all groups of experimental protocol 1 were collected by microdialysis method and then were analyzed by HPLC. The effect of the low dose of leptin was significant on the open field. The effect of the high and low dose of leptin was significant on the elevated plus maze test. The effect of the low dose of leptin was significant on mobility in the center of the Porsolt. A high dose of leptin group had spent less time around the platform than controls in the Morris water maze test. HPLC analysis showed that the amount of serotonin and glutamate in the amygdala region increased after low dose leptin administration. Intra-amygdalar injection of low doses of leptin may decrease anxiety and depression-like behavior in rats by increasing serotonin and glutamate levels in the amygdala.

Published: May 2021

Chest pain is highly prevalent in adolescence, represents a considerable burden for health services, and rarely associated with cardiac disease. Since psychosocial factors are related to chest pain there is a need for exploring the accompanying family functioning and mental health problems in adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain. Here, we assessed these determinants in 68 adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain and 68 age and-sex matched control participants using the 4-item Patient Health Questionnaire-4 for a brief screening for anxiety and depression and the Family APGAR Scale to assess the perception of family functioning. Adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain reported more depression, anxiety and experienced impaired family functioning (p=0.003, p<0.001, p<0.001). The results indicated that non-cardiac chest pain is a warning sign of an underlying mental health problem with accompanying family issues and it deserves further psychosocial investigation including anxiety, depression, and impaired satisfaction of the adolescents’ family’s responsiveness.

Authors: Nikolov Petar
Published: May 2021

The fossil bivalvian fauna established in the Topola Formation, the Zelenka section, Northeastern Bulgaria was studied. Six taxa from the species group are described: Obsoletiforma cf. pseudosemisulcata (Andrussov, 1902), Obsoletiforma cf. balcicense (Gillet, 1938), Obsoletiforma cf. centopleura (Andrussov, 1902), Obsoletiforma sp. (aff. obsoleta Eichwald, 1830), Obsoletiforma sp. (aff. lucinoidea Paramonova, 1977), and Inaequicostata sp. (aff. barboti R. Hoernes, 1874). Two of them – O. сentopleura, and O. lucinoidea are announced for the first time in Bulgaria. One taxon is determined at generic level – Obsoletiforma sp. The stratigraphic position of the section in the upper part of the middle (Bessarabian) substage of the Sarmatian (s.l.) stage was determined as the upper part of the interval zone Cryptomactra pseudotellina-Cryptomactra pesanseris and/or lowerest part of the local taxon-range zone Obsoletiforma balcicense. The factors of the abiotic environments and their influence on the presence of the bivalvian fauna in the section are clarified.
Precambrian obducted serpentinites in the Rhodope Massif
Authors: Kozhoukharova Evgenia
Published: May 2021

The Precambrian metamorphic complex in the Rhodope Massif is built of two lithostratigraphic units: the lower is an ancient granite-gneiss continental crust – Prarhodopian Group (PRG), and the upper one – a Neoproterozoic metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary rock complex – Rhodopian Group (RG). The lower stratigraphic levels of the RG are occupied by an ophiolitic association consisting of serpentinites, amphibolites, and metagabbros. The serpentinites constantly occupy the same level between the continental gneisses surface of the PRG and the base of the RG. The high degree of serpentinization (85–95%) indicates low temperature hydration metamorphism on the surface of an ultrabasic ocean plate. The formation of the Rhodope ophiolitic association has taken place in a Neoproterozoic supra-subduction zone in three stages: a. serpentinization at the ocean floor; b. obduction of serpentinite fragments, scraped from soft and plastic hydrated coat of the sliding ultrabasic plate; c. SSZ-type autochthonous Neoproterozoic (610–566 Ma) basic volcanism, including and covering serpentinite bodies. This determines a heterogeneous nature of the ophiolitic association. The lower granite-gneiss complex – PRG may have been a part of some microcontinent after the breaking of the supercontinent Rodinia. The formation of a supra-subduction zone – SSZ and the obduction of serpentinite fragments started during ocean closure preceding the amalgamation of supercontinent Gondwana.
Alluvial fan of Glazne river, Bansko town, SW Bulgaria

Published: May 2021

At the place where Banderitsa and Demyanitsa rivers and their tributaries ceased to be confined to their narrow valleys one of the most impressive alluvial fans in South Bulgaria is formed – the one of Glazne river. The river valley morphology, as well as the evolution and the position of the Glazne fan, are controlled by the active normal faulting in the NE slopes and foot of Pirin Mountain. Тhe Quaternary glaciations produced large volumes of debris in the river valleys. There is an agreement that the processes of sediment transfer from the mountain to the Razlog graben have been highly active at the time and immediately after the Pleistocene glaciations. As a result, in the Bulgarian geological and geomorphological reports and scientific papers, the age of the alluvial fans at the NE foot of Pirin Mountain is assumed to be Late Pleistocene–Early Holocene. The results of our studies require a re-evaluation of these ideas. Using widely accepted methods for natural hazard assessment, our field and historical research and analysis allow us to claim that the Glazne fan is active. Parts of Bansko, that are situated in the upper-middle parts of the alluvial fan, have been affected by at least two significant debris floods during the XX century. The conducted measures to control river behavior have an important effect on risk reduction, yet they lead to significant modification of the zones of active aggradation and this means that new actions against future events must be taken.

Published: May 2021

Objective: TCR (T Cell Receptor) which is expressed on T cells is responsible for recognizing antigens presented by HLA molecules of the APCs (Antigen Presenting Cells) and initiation of the immune response. It has been reported that TACI (Transmembrane activator and calcium modulating cyclophilin ligand interactor) mediates the interaction of B cells and dendritic cells which are both responsible for the processing of T cells. Materials and Methods: In this study, 24 TCRVβ clones were analyzed by using multiparametric flow cytometry in seven patients with TACI mutation [two homozygous (c.310T> C) five heterozygous (c.310T> C, c.226G> C, c.260T> A)], four CVID (Common Variable Immunodeficiency) patients who had not TACI defect (non-TACI) and five healthy controls. In this study group, serum Ig levels and infection history, CD4+ and CD8+ cell percentages, and HLA profiles were investigated. Results: Increased TCRVβ13.2 clone was observed in patients with TACI defects unlike control individuals and non-TACI-CVID patients (p=0.02). We found that there was a statistically significant decrease in TCRVβ8 clone (p=0.012) in TACI deficient CVID patients and non-TACI-CVID patients compared to control individuals. TCRVβ20 clones in non-TACI-CVID patients were decreased compared to TACI-CVID patients and control individuals (p=0.009). Decreased TCRVβ8 was also associated with TACI deficient CVID patients. Conclusion: Further studies and large cohorts are needed to understand the relationship between TCRVβ8, TCRVβ13.2, and CVID with TACI mutations.

Review on Effects of Electrode in Electrical Discharge Machining Process
Authors: Patel Nayan J.
Published: May 2021

Electrical Discharge Machining is one of the non-conventional machining processes used for electrically conductive material. It is widely used for manufacturing complicated parts which are tough to be produced by conventional manufacturing processes. It is based on thermoelectric energy between workpiece and electrode. Metal is removed by melting and vaporizing because of spark occurs in the gap between electrode and workpiece. Workpiece and electrode must have electrically conductive to generate a spark. The performance of the EDM process is largely depends on the electrode. Electrode is considered as tool in EDM process. Selection of the electrode material plays vital role in the EDM process. Different electrode materials have different properties. Hence, the performance of the EDM process changes with different materials. Researchers have used different materials as electrode to investigate the effects of materials and to improve the performance of EDM process. This paper reviews the research work carried out in the field of materials and manufacturing methods for electrodes in EDM process.

Dengue is potentially a life-threatening arthropod-borne viral infection for which there are no known therapeutic agents till date. Early stage diagnosis of dengue infection is still lacking. Diagnosis is only made after severe manifestations and later stages of infection. Timely prognosis can prevent dengue related mortalities. The nucleic acid-based therapy has potential to emerge as a promising approach for early diagnosis and treatment of this viral infection. Many studies have been carried out suggested the regulatory role of ncRNAs thereby revealing the importance of protein-RNA and RNA-RNA interactions during infection. Various regulatory RNAs are either expressed by mammalian cells or generated by viral RNA have reported to play important roles in viral life cycle including dengue virus. Thus exploring host-virus interaction will pave the novel path for understanding the pathophysiology of febrile infection in dengue. Rapid advances in sequencing techniques along with significant developments in the field of RNA studies has made RNA therapeutics as one of the promising approaches as antiviral targets. The idea of RNA based therapies has been greatly backed by a Hepatitis C virus drug, Miravirsen which has successfully completed phase II clinical trial. In the present review, we will discuss the implications of different non-coding RNAs in dengue infection. Differential expression of small ncRNA may serve as a reliable biomarker of disease severity during different stages of infection and can also play regulatory roles in disease progression.
Empty names, hallucinations, and semantics

Published: May 2021

In this paper we introduce the problem space of the intersection of hallucinatory experiences and hallucinatory thoughts involving empty names. We recount a brief history of the theory of names. We select and defend a direct reference theory of names. We then apply that theory to cases of hallucination. We show how our theory can explain intentional behavior involving empty names and hallucinatory experiences. We then consider several theories that offer alternative accounts to ours. We critically evaluate those alternatives in relation to our view and defend our view.

Many evidences suggested that stressful experience might affect diabetes. The estimate of the actual number of diabetes in India is around 40 million. This means India actually has the highest number of diabetic’s patient of any one country in entire world. No doubt, one of the natural element of life i.e. Stress is a major contributor to the diabetes. Stress can bring many unexpected changes in the blood sugar level; this could trigger symptoms associated with diabetes. Some retrospective human studies have suggested that the stress can participate in Type-1 diabetes, animal studies have shown that stress can cause Type-1 diabetes. impaired glucose tolerance and metabolic disease, however human studies have shown that stress can stimulate hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance. In contrast more consistentevidence support the role of stress in Type-2 diabetes. In recent year the complexities of the relationship between stress and diabetes have become well known but have been less well researched. Some studies have suggested that stressful experience may affect the onset and the metabolic control of diabetes, but finding have often been inconclusive. In this article we reviewed some of this research going on to consider how stress might affect the diabetes and physiological mechanism through which this may occurs and their preventions and management.

In December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2, a novel coronavirus, initiated an outbreak of pneumonia from Wuhan in China, which rapidly spread worldwide. The outbreak was declared as “a public health emergency of international concern” by the WHO on January 30, 2020, and as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The disease is transmitted by inhalation or contact with infected droplets and the incubation period ranges from 2 to 14 d. The symptoms are usually fever, cough, sore throat, breathlessness, fatigue, malaise among others. The disease is mild in most people; in some (usually the elderly and those with comorbidities), it may progress to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multi organ dysfunction. Many people are asymptomatic. The virus spreads faster than its two ancestors the SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), but has lower fatality.

O sistema de avaliação dos cursos de pós-graduação estrito senso, criado em 1976, é um marco para que o desenvolvimento da pós-graduação no País tenha se dado de forma consistente e qualificada. Entretanto, o atual modelo de avaliação parece dar sinais de esgotamento, sendo necessárias mudanças substanciais para atender aos novos desafios científicos e tecnológicos contemporâneos. Assim, tal processo de avaliação deveria observar de forma equilibrada três principais aspectos, (1) as condições do Programa para prover um ambiente acadêmico adequado para a formação qualificada de pesquisadores e profissionais em nível de mestrado e doutorado seja na modalidade profissional ou acadêmica; (2) as experiências concretas na formação discente; e (3) o impacto acadêmico e social do Programa. A avaliação da produção científica, com todos os seus problemas, foi muito mais aperfeiçoada e discutida do que a avaliação dos outros aspectos da avaliação. É urgente que sejam desenvolvidos indicadores mais adequados, tanto quantitativos, quanto qualitativos, para avaliação das experiências concretas de formação discente, da produção técnica e do impacto social dos programas de pós-graduação em Saúde Coletiva, garantindo as especificidades das modalidades de formação acadêmica e profissional, de forma a que o resultado da avaliação de fato atinja seus objetivos.
