The food industry has become interested in the development of innovative biomaterials with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Although several biopolymers have been evaluated for food packaging, the use of polyphenolic coatings has been unexplored. The purpose of this work was to develop an antioxidant and antimicrobial coating for food packaging through the polymerization of carob phenolics. At first, the polyphenolic coatings were deposited in glass surfaces polymerizing different concentrations of carob extracts (2 and 4 mg mL−1) at three pH values (7, 8 and 9). Results demonstrated that the coating produced at pH 8 and at a concentration of 4 mg mL−1 had the most potent antioxidant and antimicrobial potential. Then, the coating was applied directly on the salmon fillet (coating) and on the plastic container (active packaging). Peroxide and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) methods were used to measure the potency to inhibit lipid oxidation in salmon fillets. Furthermore, the anti-Listeria activity of coatings was also assessed. Results showed a significant decrease of lipid oxidation during cold storage of salmon fillets for both treatments; the superiority of applied coating directly on the salmon fillets was also highlighted. Regarding the antimicrobial potency, the polyphenolic coating depleted the growth of Listeria monocytogenes after 10 days storage; while the active packaging had no effect on Listeria monocytogenes. Overall, we describe the use of low-cost carob polyphenols as precursors for the formation of bifunctional coatings with promising applications in food packaging.
1995–2005: A Decade of Innovation in Low Temperature Plasma and Its Applications
Authors: Laroussi Mounir
Published: August 2019

Scientific breakthroughs tend to come in spurts when unique societal, economical, and political circumstances conspire (knowingly or unknowingly) and create an environment ripe for creativity. The field of low temperature plasma (LTP) recently experienced such an upheaval, which this paper attempts to relate in some details. There have been “roadmap” papers published before, which look towards the future of the field, but all roads start somewhere and even “new” roads are often paved over older roads that were discovered and traveled by early pioneers. With the sharp decrease in funding for fusion research in the USA in the early 1990s the plasma science community was faced with a dire situation that threatened to choke off plasma physics advances. However, in the background and far from the visibility accorded to fusion research, a few laboratories were quietly engaged in innovative research that in due time revolutionized the LTP field and breathed new life into plasma science. Groundbreaking applications of LTP were investigated that until today constitute most of the LTP research activities. These innovations spanned a wide spectrum that included the invention of novel devices, improvement of existing ones, and the deployment of these devices to areas ranging from industrial to biomedical applications. These efforts turned out to have impactful scientific and societal implications. In this paper plasma sources and applications developed during this uniquely innovative decade are briefly discussed.

Published: August 2019

Background: The use of mental health services by Latinos is only 7.3%, despite the high prevalence of depression rates of between 27.0% and 38.0% in the United States. Research is limited concerning Latinos’ acculturation status and healthcare coverage on mental healthcare service utilization in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the association of acculturation status and healthcare coverage with mental health service utilization in the Latino population. Methods: During 2011–2012, a Latino Community Health Needs Assessment was administered by a trained bilingual interviewer using participants’ preferred language. Four hundred and eleven community members and leaders participated in the study. Acculturation status and self-reported mental health service utilization were retrieved from the survey instrument. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: In multivariate logistic regression that included gender, education level, healthcare coverage, depression, and acculturation status, individuals with a high acculturation score (3–5) were 1.53 times more likely to utilize mental health services compared to those with a low acculturation score (0–2). Individuals with healthcare coverage were 2.75 times more likely to utilize mental health services compared to those with not having healthcare coverage. Healthcare coverage is only a significant determinant of mental health service utilization. Conclusions: This result underscores the importance of having healthcare coverage for the need of mental health service utilization. Future research should consider the impact of acculturation and healthcare coverage on mental health service utilization.

Published: August 2019

A Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based on an etched all-solid microstructure fiber (MOF) has been demonstrated. The MZI works on the basis of interference between the vibrant core and cladding modes in the MOF. The all-solid MOF has a heterostructure cladding composed of Ge-doped rod arrays and pure silica, and thus can support and propagate a vibrant cladding mode with a large mode area. When the outermost cladding of MOF is etched, the cladding mode becomes sensitive to the ambient refractive index (RI). The etched MOF can work as a sensing head for RI sensing. By comparing the interference spectra, the extinction ratio has remained stable at around 20 dB after the MOF was etched. The RI sensing characteristics of the MZI with an etched MOF have also been investigated. The results show that the RI sensitivity can reach up to 2183.6 nm/RIU with a low-temperature coefficient (<10 pm/°C).

Published: August 2019

Wear is a common cause for aseptic loosening in artificial joints. The purpose of this study was to develop an automated diagnostical method for identification of the number and size distribution of wear debris. For this purpose, metal debris samples were extracted from a hip simulator and then analyzed by the electrospray method combined with a differential mobility analyzer, allowing particle detection ranging from several nanometers up to 1 µm. Wear particles were identified with a characteristic peak at 15 nm. The electrospray setup was successfully used and validated for the first time to characterize wear debris from simulated total joint replacement. The advantages of this diagnostic method are its time- and financial efficiency and its suitability for testing of different materials.
Low Computational Cost Distributed Acoustic Sensing Using Analog I/Q Demodulation

Published: August 2019

Distributed acoustic sensing based on phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) has been widely used in many fields. Phase demodulation of the Φ-OTDR signal is essential for undistorted acoustic measurement. Digital coherent detection is a universal method to implement phase demodulation, but it may cause severe computational burden. In this paper, analog I/Q demodulation is introduced into the Φ-OTDR based DAS system to solve this problem, which can directly obtain the I and Q components of the beat signal without any digital processing, meaning that the computational cost can be sharply reduced. Besides, the sampling frequency of the data acquisition card can theoretically be lower than the beat frequency as the spectrum aliasing would not affect the demodulation results, thus further reducing the data volume of the system. Experimental results show that the proposed DAS system can demodulate the phase signal with good linearity and wide frequency response range. It can also adequately recover the sound signal sensed by the optical fiber, indicating that it can be a promising solution for computational-cost-sensitive distributed acoustic sensing applications.
Enhanced Accuracy of Continuous Glucose Monitoring during Exercise through Physical Activity Tracking Integration
Authors: Laguna Sanz Alejandro José , Díez José Luis , Giménez Marga , Bondia Jorge
Published: August 2019

Current Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) exhibit increased estimation error during periods of aerobic physical activity. The use of readily-available exercise monitoring devices opens new possibilities for accuracy enhancement during these periods. The viability of an array of physical activity signals provided by three different wearable devices was considered. Linear regression models were used in this work to evaluate the correction capabilities of each of the wearable signals and propose a model for CGM correction during exercise. A simple two-input model can reduce CGM error during physical activity (17.46% vs. 13.8%, p < 0.005) to the magnitude of the baseline error level (13.61%). The CGM error is not worsened in periods without physical activity. The signals identified as optimal inputs for the model are “Mets” (Metabolic Equivalent of Tasks) from the Fitbit Charge HR device, which is a normalized measurement of energy expenditure, and the skin temperature reading provided by the Microsoft Band 2 device. A simpler one-input model using only “Mets” is also viable for a more immediate implementation of this correction into market devices.
Simulation-Based Design and Optimization of Accelerometers Subject to High-Temperature and High-Impact Loads

Published: August 2019

Due to multi-factor coupling behavior, the performance evaluation of an accelerometer subject to high-temperature and high-impact loads poses a significant challenge during its design phase. In this paper, the simulation-based method is applied to optimize the design of the accelerometer. The proposed method can reduce the uncertainties and improve the fidelity of the simulation in the sense that (i) the preloading conditions of fasteners are taken into consideration and modeled in static analysis; (ii) all types of loadings, including bolt preloads, thermal loads, and impact loads, are defined in virtual dynamic prototype of the accelerometer. It is our finding that from static and dynamic analysis, an accelerometer is exposed to the risk of malfunction and even a complete failure if the temperature rises to a certain limit; it has been proved that the thermal properties of sensing components are the most critical factors for an accelerometer to achieve its desired performance. Accordingly, we use a simulation-based method to optimize the thermal expansion coefficient of the sensing element and get the expected design objectives.

Published: August 2019

The past decades have witnessed the rapid development in soft, stretchable, and biocompatible devices for applications in biomedical monitoring, personal healthcare, and human–machine interfaces. In particular, the design of soft devices in optics has attracted tremendous interests attributed to their distinct advantages such as inherent electrical safety, high stability in long-term operation, potential to be miniaturized, and free of electromagnetic interferences. As the alternatives to conventional rigid optical waveguides, considerable efforts have been made to develop light-guiding devices by using various transparent and elastic polymers, which offer desired physiomechanical properties and enable wearable/implantable applications in optical sensing, diagnostics, and therapy. Here, we review recent progress in soft and stretchable optical waveguides and sensors, including advanced structural design, fabrication strategies, and functionalities. Furthermore, the potential applications of those optical devices for various wearable and biomedical applications are discussed. It is expected that the newly emerged soft and stretchable optical technologies will provide a safe and reliable alternative to next-generation, smart wearables and healthcare devices.
O panorama midiático na Venezuela: censura, confronto e crise
Authors: Blanco-Herrero David , Arcila Calderón Carlos
Published: August 2019

A crise social, política e econômica que sufoca a população venezuelana também se reflete no setor de comunicação, em sobressalto por três grandes problemas: a crise econômica, que dificulta a sobrevivência de muitas mídias e o desenvolvimento das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs); a polarização sociopolítica, que faz com que a maioria dos meios de comunicação estejam fortemente ideologizados a favor ou contra o governo, o que reduz sua credibilidade; a censura e o controle estatal, que impedem a existência de meios de comunicação livres e independentes e que muitas vezes forçam os profissionais à autocensura. Este trabalho usa dados do relatório Media Landscapes da Venezuela (ARCILA & BLANCO-HERRERO, 2019) para aprofundar a análise desses problemas e buscar alternativas que, embora ainda distantes e insuficientes, poderiam contribuir para a sobrevivência e a possível melhora do setor de comunicação na Venezuela. Entre as alternativas incluímos a proliferação de mídias digitais que tentam escapar da censura e do controle estatal, o trabalho de associações profissionais e a defesa dos direitos de jornalistas e comunicadores, uma possível mudança política, e os esforços de uma população ávida por informação.

The Limits to Adaptation in Restored Ecosystems and How Management Can Help Overcome Them
Authors: Lau Jennifer A. , Magnoli Susan M. , Zirbel Chad R. , Brudvig Lars A.
Published: August 2019

Adaptation drives the diversity of form and function observed in nature and is key to population persistence. Yet, adaptation can be limited by a lack of genetic variation, trade-offs, small population size, and constraints imposed by coevolving interacting species. These limits may be particularly important to the colonizing populations in restored ecosystems, such as native prairies restored through seed sowing. Here, we discuss how constraints to adaptation are likely to play out in restored prairie ecosystems and how management decisions, such as seed mix composition, prescribed fire, and strategic site selection, might be used to overcome some of these constraints. Although data are still limited, recent work suggests that restored prairie populations likely face strong selection and that promoting the potential for adaptation in these systems may be necessary for restoring populations both now and in the face of further global change.

The results of field data measurements in the form of total magnetic field value and daily variations are processed and interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitative interpretation shows three patterns of anomalies, namely high anomalies, moderate and low. High anomalies (about 105 nT to 140 nT) in the south and southwest are thought to be clay and limestone. Moderate anomalies (about 70 nT to <105 nT) that dominate the study sites are suspected clay and sandstone. Low anomalies (about 40 nT to <70 nT) in the eastern part are suspected of limestone and sandstone. Quantitative interpretation shows the suspected aquifer rock structure of sandstone has a susceptibility of 6.7 x 10-5 – 3.56 x10-4 at a depth of 22.8 m as well as a water-grinding limestone with the susceptibility of 5.792 x 10-3 – 9.247 x 10-3 with a depth of 75 m. In addition to these two rocks, there are clay rocks with the susceptibility of 7.28 x 10-4 – 1.063 x 10-3 at depth of 13.8 m.

Keywords: Geomagnetic method, susceptibility, aquifer.
ПолитическаяидентичностьСиро-Христианскогосоциума подвластью хулагуидских Ильханов(XIIIXIVвв.):некоторыенаблюдения

The article deals with a dramatically turbulent period in the history of Syriac Christianity, encompassing the late 13th and the early 14th centuries that coincided with the establishment, strengthening and collapse of the Mongol rule in Iran and Mesopotamia. The primary focus is on the two Syria communities the Western (Jacobite) and the Eastern (Assyrian) ones inhabiting the territories of modern North Iraq and South Turkey that were at the time one of the hotbeds of Christianity and homeland to numerous Arameic dialects. Unlike its neighbours, even though similar to them from the cultural an religious perspectives (especially the Armenians), the Syriac society showed an almost total absence of any clearcut traditional elite (to say nothing of aristocracy) that could have assumed administrative functions. Under these circumstances the Mongol invasion and the triumph of the Chinggisid rule in the Tigris Euphrates valley contributed to the formation, in the Eastern Syriac milieu, of a quasimonarchical form of administration that of the local princesgovernors (sing. malik, pl. muluk). For centuries to come the status of Malik passed through a long transformation in order to evolve from a bureaucratic figurehead (even notwithstanding the implied monarchial attributes) into a defacto local ruler of a highland community. The process of formation of the Malik rule and the peculiarities of Christian Malik rule in Mesopotamia is analysed through relevant data of the Syriac, Arab and Persian chronicles

Статья посвящена драматически турбулентному периоду в история сирийского христианства, охватывающая конец 13го и начало 14 века, что совпало с установлением, усилением и крахом монгольского владычества в Иране и Месопотамия. Основное внимание уделяется двум сирийским общинам Западной (Якобитская) и Восточной (Ассирийская) населяющие территорию современного Северного Ирака и юга Турция, которая была в то время одним из очагов христианства и родиной многочисленных арамейских диалектов. В отличие от своих соседей, хотя подобно им с культурной и религиозной точек зрения (особенно армяне), сирийское общество показало почти полное отсутствие какихлибо четких традиционных элит (не говоря уже об аристократии), которые могли бы взять на себя административные функции. В этих условиях монгольское нашествие и триумф правления Чингизидов в долине ТиграЕвфрата способствовало формированию в Восточносирийской среде квазимонархической формы правления, администрация формировалась из местных князейнаместников (единсвт. Малик, множеств. Мулук). На протяжении веков статус Малика проходил через длительную трансформацию чтобы эволюционировать от бюрократического номинального руководителя (даже несмотря на подразумеваемые монархические атрибуты) в дефакто местного правителя. Процесс формирования правила Малика и особенности правление христианина Малика в Месопотамии анализируется с помощью соответствующих данных, взятых из сирийских, арабских и персидских хроник.

The article brings up an obscure episode in the rivalry of the Orthodox and Melkite communities in Syria in the late 19th century. In order to strengthen their superiority over the Orthodox, the Uniates attempted to seize the church of St. George in Izraa, one of the oldest Christian temples in the region. To the Orthodox community it presented a threat coming from a wealthier enemy backed up by the See of Rome and the French embassy. The only ally the Antioch Patriarchate could lean on for support in the fight for its identity was the Russian Empire, a traditional protector of the Orthodox Arabs in the Middle East. The documents from the Foreign Affairs Archive of the Russian Empire, introduced to the scientific usage for the first time, present a unique opportunity to delve into the history of this conflict involving the higher officials of the Ottoman Empire as well as the Russian embassy in Constantinople

В статье рассматривается малоизвестный эпизод соперничества православной и Мелкитской общин в Сирии в конце XIX века. Чтобы укрепить свое превосходство над православными, униаты предприняли попытку захватить церковь Святого Георгия в Израа, один из старейших христианских храмов в регионе. Для православной общины он представлял угрозу, исходящую от более богатого врага, поддерживаемого Римским престолом и французским посольством. Единственным союзником, на которого Антиохийский патриархат мог опереться в борьбе за свою идентичность, была Российская Империя, традиционный защитник православных арабов на Ближнем Востоке. Документы из архива иностранных дел Российской Империи, введены в научный оборот впервые, уникальная возможность углубиться в историю этого конфликта с участием высших должностных лиц в Османской империи, а также российского посольства в Константинополе.

This paper aims to present the theory of psycholinguistics as a basis for developing the methodology of learning Arabic in the post methods era. This study encouraged by the emergence of new trends related to the Arabic learning methodology. In this trend, the methodology was formulated based on academic readings from various perspectives, one of which is psycholinguistics. This paper relies on bibliographic sources in the form of books and articles (literature studies) that are in scientific journals related to the subject matter. Reading the data of thought by academics using a critically constructive approach and meaning of the substance using content analysis. Based on the studies that have been conducted, in the context of post methods, the psycholinguistic theory was seen as a building that used as a foundation in developing learning models. Where in this era is marked by the reduction of the role of methods in language learning? The learning model that was born based on this assumption is active, cooperative learning, and (pakem) learning. Furthermore, in applying this model, the teacher is required to play an optimal role. The integral form, the teacher is required to have personal competence, social competence, and professional competence. This study has a significant urgency considering the post-method trend is a formula that results from the academic reading of a psycholinguistic-based teacher to utilize learning activities in the classroom.
Seasonal Changes in Soluble and Non-Soluble Carbohydrates during and After Dormancy Release in Early and Late Varieties of Apple (Malus Sylvestris, Mill) Trees
Authors: Seif El-Yazal Mohamed A.
Published: August 2019

The flower bud abortion is one of the main problems that limit apple varieties production in the Egypt. Insufficient chilling during the dormancy period is known as the main factor of this problem. One of the hypotheses to explain this problem is that the starch mobilization and carbohydrate fluxes to the buds are impeded when mild temperatures occurred during winter. In order to produce the physiological bases for choosing early- opining apple varieties that may avoid the depleted low winter temperatures, the terribly early and late- opining apple variety Barkhar, Local and Strakhan (Malus domestica) were used to study the relation between the seasonal changes and balance of water, dry weight and carbohydrates metabolism and opining time. This study investigated potential variations in chilling requirements, bud burst and development in early and late varieties of apple trees. The budburst and carbohydrates metabolism of flower and vegetative buds of early and late varieties were additionally investigated. Results showed less bud burst in late varieties than in early ones. In the former, there were increased in water, dry weight and soluble carbohydrates (sugars) at budburst. Although non-soluble carbohydrates levels was considerably reduced by bud development in all varieties. We conclude that late varieties (Strakhan) are less economical in manufacturing new growth, as indicated by less bud vigor at budburst than early varieties (Barkhar and local) and show a marked differential in water content and carbohydrates metabolism throughout bud development compared to early varieties.
