The atomic hydrogen target with a degree of dissociation 78% at a temperature of tungsten dissociation cell 2180K has been made.
О нелинейной динамике массивных частиц в смерчах
Authors: Ингель Л.Х.
Published: March 2020

The motion of inertial particles in intense vortices with a vertical axis in the field of gravity is analytically studied. In this problem, the nonlinear nature of the hydrodynamic resistance is essential - its dependence on the absolute value of the particle’s velocity relative to the medium. Different components of the movement interact with each other, since each of them affects the coefficient of resistance. An effective method for an approximate solution of the problem is found. A number of general laws of particle dynamics are established. In particular, a regime is characteristic in which their tangential velocity is close to the velocity of the medium, while the radial velocity is much lower (it is close in order of magnitude to the geometric mean tangential velocity of the particle and the difference between the latter and the tangential velocity of the medium).

We have modeled propagation of source signal and noise for a future camera of TAIGA-IACT Cherenkov gamma-ray telescope, which will be based on silicon photomultipliers sensitive in the 240 -- 600 nm range. It has been shown that employment of such detectors instead of traditional vacuum photomultipliers will allow one to decrease the energy threshold by a factor of about 2.5: from ~ 1.5 TeV down to ~ 0.6 TeV. We have also shown that application of a standard ultraviolet filter ZWB3 will decrease the source signal by a factor of 3, while the noise signal from the night sky will be decreased by a factor of 6. In this way the duty cycle of the telescope can be extended (the telescope will be able to operate during moonlit nights and during twilight) and the energy threshold further decreased down to ~ 0.3 TeV. A narrow 260 -- 300 nm filter can be employed to improve gamma-hadron separation of primary cosmic particles in the ~ 25 -- 50 TeV band.

Using Application Programming Interfaces to Access Google Data for Health Research: Protocol for a Methodological Framework
Authors: Zepecki Anne , Guendelman Sylvia , DeNero John , Prata Ndola
Published: March 2020

Background

Individuals are increasingly turning to search engines like Google to obtain health information and access resources. Analysis of Google search queries offers a novel approach, which is part of the methodological toolkit for infodemiology or infoveillance researchers, to understanding population health concerns and needs in real time or near-real time. While searches predominantly have been examined with the Google Trends website tool, newer application programming interfaces (APIs) are now available to academics to draw a richer landscape of searches. These APIs allow users to write code in languages like Python to retrieve sample data directly from Google servers.

Objective

The purpose of this paper is to describe a novel protocol to determine the top queries, volume of queries, and the top sites reached by a population searching on the web for a specific health term. The protocol retrieves Google search data obtained from three Google APIs: Google Trends, Google Health Trends (also referred to as Flu Trends), and Google Custom Search.

Methods

Our protocol consisted of four steps: (1) developing a master list of top search queries for an initial search term using Google Trends, (2) gathering information on relative search volume using Google Health Trends, (3) determining the most popular sites using Google Custom Search, and (4) calculating estimated total search volume. We tested the protocol following key procedures at each step and verified its usefulness by examining search traffic on birth control in 2017 in the United States. Two separate programmers working independently achieved similar results with insignificant variation due to sample variability.

Results

We successfully tested the methodology on the initial search term birth control. We identified top search queries for birth control, of which birth control pill was the most popular and obtained the relative and estimated total search volume for the top queries: relative search volume was 0.54 for the pill, corresponding to an estimated 9.3-10.7 million searches. We used the estimates of the proportion of search activity for the top queries to arrive at a generated list of the most popular websites: for the pill, the Planned Parenthood website was the top site.

Conclusions

The proposed methodological framework demonstrates how to retrieve Google query data from multiple Google APIs and provides thorough documentation required to systematically identify search queries and websites, as well as estimate relative and total search volume of queries in real time or near-real time in specific locations and time periods. Although the protocol needs further testing, it allows researchers to replicate the steps and shows promise in advancing our understanding of population-level health concerns.

“Exposure therapy is highly effective to treat cleaning obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, traditional techniques, such as in vivo or imaginal exposure, show important limits that make the adherence to the treatment and/or the correct emotional activation difficult. Virtual Reality (VR) is a potential alternative to overcome such inconveniences. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop virtual environments clinically relevant for patients with cleaning OCD and assess their efficiency to obtain emotionally significant responses. Based on this, two scenarios were developed, with progressive levels of dirtiness: a public restroom and a kitchen. Both were applied to a clinical group (18 patients with cleaning OCD) and to a control one (22 without OCD). Both scenarios produced anxiety levels significantly higher in the clinical group. This result is a valuable support for the clinical use of these environments”.

Authors: Mahendra Ramadhan , Triyono Sulis
Published: March 2020

The notion of autonomous learning used in second language learning has become a focal point of scholars in recent years. However, building an autonomy in specific language learners might be different in the view of psychology within multilingual culture which raised interesting issues. However, learners’ psychology determines about how far they must learn the second language. In addition, the multilingual culture has important role as variable but in an abstract way. It appears that in some languages learners who had multilingual culture backgrounds have different situation in comprehending the English, which also affect in choosing suitable learning strategies to comprehend by their own. Therefore, this research addresses to find out the interrelation in case of building leaner autonomy on English as second language learning in the aspect of multilingual culture in Indonesia. Trough library research, the author found the correlation between learners’ psychological condition such as interest, needs and motivation has some impact on how successful in their own language learning within the multilingual culture as it background. Therefore, building autonomy in second language learning must be aware of multilingual and social culture in society to reap a good result.

Published: March 2020

The purpose of the study was to analyze the total content of antioxidants (TAC) in the national Khakass product talgan consisted of oats grain. Talgan was prepared according to traditional (frying, grinding) and innovative (grinding, frying) methods. In this series of experiments, three oat cultivars were used: Argument (chaffy caryopsis), Tubinsky (chaffy caryopsis) and Golets (bare-grained). All samples were grown on the territory of the Beysk state section of the Republic of Khakassia, which was characterized by favorable climatic conditions for growing grain with a high antioxidant content. For TAC determination in grain, 2 solvents were used - bidistilled water and 70% ethanol. The TAC measurement was performed on ‘Tsvet Yauza-01-AA’. Gallic acid was used as a reference sample. In oat talgan, prepared according to the traditional method from chaffy caryopsis samples, the total content of antioxidants had a higher value than that before processing (regardless of the nature of eluting solvent). However, the opposite tendency was observed in the case of bare-grained sample. Higher rates among all samples were recorded when using hot bidistilled water as eluting solvent. The use of innovative method for production of talgan showed that the total content of antioxidants in all samples had higher values in comparison with the traditional method. Using a three-factor analysis, it was found that the TAC values in oat talgan were two-thirds dependent on the method of preparing the product; solvent nature and genotype affected much less.

Published: March 2020

The purpose of the research was the adaptation of foreign technologies for intensive and accelerated cultivation of Scots pine planting material in Kazakhstan. Objects of research were annual seedlings of scots pine in forest nurseries of Pavlodar, Akmola, and North Kazakhstan regions. The experiments were established in 4 directions: application of dry growth regulators to soil, pre-sowing seed treatment with growth regulators, soaking seeds in stimulants and fungicide, pre-sowing watering of the soil with growth regulators. It was established that seed quality decreased significantly compared to the last year, only seeds from Pavlodar region had high indicators. Seeds from the nursery ‘Ertic Ormany’ had the highest average indicators of soil germination (58.7…67.8%). In ‘Bukhpa’, the highest germination was observed in seeds soaked with Zircon + Trichocin (3 + 2 hours). Baikal growth regulator and AridGrow slightly increased germination in the nursery of Arykbalyk branch of ‘Kokshetau’. In the forest nursery ‘Ertis Ormany’, the highest annual seedlings were obtained in variants with presowing treatment of scots pine seeds with stimulants and watering the soil with growth substances. The average height of experimental seedlings was 4.32 and 4.64 cm, respectively. The combined use of Zircon and Trichocin increased seedling growth in ‘Bukpa’ nursery to 1.42 cm, which was the highest value. It was revealed that the technologies used in neighboring countries for intensive cultivation of scots pine seedlings showed a positive effect only when using Citovit. According to other experiments, it was determined that seedlings of scots pine grown from seeds with pre-sowing treatment in Gumat+7 for 12 hours had the best growth indicators in height. Increased soil fertility through applying nitrogen, phosphorus fertilizers, soil activator AridGrow and KZ Cultury significantly accelerated growth of scots pine seedlings.

The experimental data on effect of Bloom & Grow and Immune System fertilizers on growth, development, yield and grain quality of spring durum and soft wheat in light gray forest soils of the Chuvash Republic are presented. The results of two research years revealed that in plants treated with fertilizers, the growth period ‘seedling-ripening’ is reduced by 7-8 days, height of the treated soft wheat plants exceeded the control variant by 12.5 cm, length of the main spike - by 0.4 cm, number of grains per spike - by 6.1, and grain mass per spike - by 0.23 g. Plants of spring durum wheat treated with micronutrient fertilizers exceeded the control variant by 25.1 cm in plant height, length of the main spike, number of grains in it and grain weight significantly exceeded the control variant. The 1000 seed mass exceeded the control variant by 7.28 grams. The increase in the yield of spring soft wheat was 0.89 t/ha (26.3%), and durum wheat - 0.93 t/ha (28.6%). Application of Bloom & Grow and Immune System fertilizers led to an increase in gluten content in spring soft and durum wheat grains, and an improvement in gluten deformation rate to group 1 with the accumulation of minerals.

THE IDEA OF SELF-ORGANIZATION IN THE SYSTEM OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
Authors: Zyrianov Aleksey V.
Published: March 2020

This article is devoted to the problem of theory and practice of public administration in modern conditions. Actualization is carried out by searching for a new paradigm approach in order to determine the starting points regarding optimization and increasing the efficiency of the corresponding sphere of public relations. The self-organizational approach, developed as a synergistic-information approach, corresponding to the methodological principles of the modern postnonclassical paradigm of scientific rationality, which was the result of the development of ideas of cybernetics, tectology, theory of systems and theory of dissipative structures, represents a special (different from the “classical” (mechanistic)) view on the relations of organization and management of state processes. It is established that the process of organization is aimed at revealing new socially constructive qualities of the becoming systemic form and provides fixation and completion of the corresponding self-organizing structures of the state mechanism. Self-organization is included in the organizational process, providing flexibility and adaptive capacity of purposefully created structures. However, in this process, at the same time, there are stable structures of static importance, forming subsystems of management, designed to preserve the static form, regardless of their social value. The objective conservatism of these formations stagnates the creative renewal of the way of activity of social individuals, thus closing the process of formation of society as a whole and turning it into a system of final type. In this case, self-organization manifests itself as an opposing party to such a state and on a historical scale destroys the rigid structures of public administration, with their inherent anomalies of the state apparatus. In the synergistic-informational understanding of the meaning of the state, its administrative purpose is to provide conditions for the dynamic formation of society capable of overcoming extreme, crisis processes. As a result, it is possible to consider the provision on the unity of forms of public order - self-organization, organization and means of their provision - public administration. The latter is considered not only as a function of organization and manifestation of self-organization, but as a means of implementing public order in both forms. This implies overcoming the mismatch between the interests of the people and the system of power in the state policy. Since the formation of such a policy of the state is associated with the transition from the power base of regulation of public relations to the information one, this process acquires an objective meaning and cannot but form the basis for the development of the strategy of socio-economic and socio-political development of the country, all socially significant administrative projects.
Abbreviated appelatives as independent modifications of abbreviations
Authors: Terkulov Vyacheslav I.
Published: March 2020

The paper is devoted to compound abbreviated appellatives, i.e. non-initial common abbreviations, related to the collocations by means of “spontaneous” formation (in diachrony) and/or motivation (in synchrony).The relevance of the investigation is determined by implementing a new approach to interpreting abbreviation based on identifying onomasiologically significant mechanisms of the producing unit transformation into an abbreviation as well as on the differentiating synchronous and diachronic methods to abbreviations. As the result, the author can define new principles of abbreviations’ lexicographic description. The aim of the article is to establish the basic options for determining and describing compound abbreviated appellatives as an autonomous onomasiological type of abbreviations in diachrony and in synchrony. The novelty of the research consists in the following facts: firstly, the necessity to differentiate abbreviations as nominative units, arising from overcoming asymmetric dualism of descriptive collocations, from reductions, which act as formal doublets of abbreviated words because they preserve the onomasiological status of the original unit, is justified; secondly, it defines the reasons to refer compound abbreviated appellatives to an autonomous onomasiological class of abbreviations; thirdly, it shows the need to differentiate synchronous and diachronic descriptions of abbreviations. The practical significance lies in the fact that the results of the study can be used for composing dictionaries of abbreviations.

Фестский диск. Взгляд из 21 века
Authors: Андреева Татьяна
Published: March 2020

Фестский диск был сделан во времена, последовавшие за экспедицией в страну Пунт, организованной царицей Хатшепсут. То есть в Среднем царстве, что совпадает с заключениями других исследователей артефакта. Страной изготовления скорее всего был Египет, что можно предположить, учитывая сходства знаков диска и египетских иероглифов, как и присутствие в стране фараонов выдающейся скульптурной и керамической традиции. Технология изготовления была единой для диска, как и для других глиняных изделий того времени, и нет никаких оснований для рассмотрения вопроса о печатях (штампах) как особой формы обработки этого уникального предмета. Назначение диска: с осторожностью предполагаем, что это был объект, служащий для получения предсказаний. Знаки скорее всего представляют пиктографические записи, поэтому вопрос о языке диска не поднимается. По той же причине не представляется существенным рассматривать проблему направления чтения знаков: в логограммах порядок значков может не иметь значения.

Published: March 2020

The design and control of blast furnace (BF) ironmaking must be optimized in order to be competitive and sustainable, particularly under the more and more demanding and tough economic and environmental conditions. To achieve this, it is necessary to understand the complex multiphase flow, heat and mass transfer, and global performance of a BF. In this paper injection of alternative reducing agents via lances in the tubers of blast furnaces is discussed to reduce the consumption of metallurgical coke. Besides liquid hydrocarbons and pulverized coal the injection of recycled waste plastics is possible, offering the opportunity to chemically reuse waste material and also utilize the energy contained in such remnants.

Abstract- Starch-degrading enzymes not only can be found in bacteria and fungi, but also in plants. Some plants that produce starch-degrading enzymes are germinated grain of sorghum, maize, and mung bean. pH and temperature are factors that can affect the activity of enzyme. Effect of pH and temperature to starch-degrading enzyme activity of these 3 cereal grains are reported in this research. Grain of sorghum, maize, and mung bean were germinated for 2 days and dried to produce malt. Enzymes from these 3 different malts were extracted using 7 buffers with different pH (4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7) . Buffer that produced highest enzyme activity based on degradation of starch as a substrate (iodine-starch method) and based on formation of reducing sugars as products (DNS method) would be used for determining the effect of temperatures (20 °C, 30 °C, 40 °C, 50 °C). Effect of pH and temperatures to enzyme activity from 3 different malts tend to be fluctuating. Sorghum malt had the highest enzyme activity per gram malt based on degradation of starch activity test. Estimated enzyme activity of sorghum malt was 103,82 mg.g- 1.min-1. Maize malt had the highest enzyme activity based on formation of reducing sugars activity test. Estimated enzyme activity of maize malt was 13.08 mg.g-1.min-1.

Interaction of cultural and language competencies in the development of non-native speech skills in educational discourse
Authors: Savitskaya E. V.
Published: March 2020

The article is aimed at analyzing the cognitive aspect of educational discourse, viz. the effect of cultural competence on linguistic competence in the process ofspeech generation. The author considers the problem of transmitting knowledge about the world by means of language from generation to generation in the mental and linguistic ontogenesis. In contrast to the prevailing opinion, the author proves that language itself does not contain information accumulated within linguoculture, but only facilitates the transfer of cultural information that is not derived from language. It is drawn from other sources: innate cognitive programs, patterns of behavior, reactions to external stimuli, mental strategies; directly from the surrounding extralinguistic reality through senses etc. The author also describes the means and methods of fixing cultural knowledge in language structure. The research is based on English and Russian language material.
Faces and Visions of the Australian Identity in the Aussie National Press
Authors: Slesareva Ekaterina R. , Ryzhkina Оlga A. , Fefelov Anatoli F.
Published: March 2020

The current paper is concerned with linguocultural (ethnolinguistic) analysis of australianisms as culture specific words which are either not found in British English (the mother tongue) or are different from their British counterparts to some extent. The main research question was to identify the key lexemes of this type and establish correlation between them and Australian values (the national identity) as well as ethnostereotypes in modern Australian society. The novelty of the approach to studying these lexical units is in looking at them in terms of their functioning in speech and pragmatics based on the most sensitive to social change and dynamic type of discourse – the media (The material was drawn for the national papers “The Daily Telegraph, Australia” and “The Australian” over the past decade). By means of the random selection method, definitional and contextual analyses six key concepts have been identified (fair go, fair dinkum, larrikin, battler, bludger, (hard) yakka – the last word being aboriginal) and their place in the national identity structure defined. Also, we found some differences in how the same australianisms were presented and ranked in either paper manifesting certain values (for example, battler) or anti-values (for example, bludger) depending on the editorial board’s opinion and/or the content. For instance, “The Daily Telegraph” clearly highlighted the idea of justice (e.g. fair go, fair dinkum), while “The Autralian” put more focus on praising the stubbornness of Australians in the struggle against various obstacles (e.g. battler). References to the boisterous (larrikin) nature of Australians were somewhat more frequent “The Daily Telegraph”, although this concept was quite important for both newspapers. One of the most interesting results we got was a shift in connotations of several australianisms. Thus, it was shown that some words (for example, larrikin), originally having a negative meaning, with time may become positively connoted, characterising a certain previously disapproved type of person / behavior as normal. The study can be continued to include more words of this type, especially aboriginal ones which are already used in media and call for ethnolinguistic (linguocultural) interpretation by researchers.

It is concluded that the reproduction of ethnicity becomes conscious and selective. At the same time, there is a change in the content of all markers underlying ethnic identity.
On Periodization of Pragmatism
Authors: Kosarev Andrey V.
Published: March 2020

Currently, there are a s number of positions on periodization and stages of the evolutionary development of pragmatism. In contemporary philosophy and the history of philosophy there is no stable consensus as to who of the modern philosophers can be unambiguously ranked among pragmatists and neo-pragmatists, and also, from what point can one speak of the onset of the neo-pragmatist stage of development of this tradition. The lack of a unified approach, ultimately, makes it difficult to understand the content of pragmatism itself as a philosophical position due to the impossibility of linking to it any key figures and prominent researchers. The article discusses the main provisions and approaches to the periodization of the stages of the evolution of pragmatism, adopted in the scientific literature, and offers arguments in favor of some adjustments regarding the chronology of neo-pragmatism.

Element composition was determined in the aboveground organs (leaves and stems) of plants of four species of the genus Dasiphora: D. fruticosa, D. parvifolia, D. mandshurica, D. gorovoii grown in the Primorsky Territory and Republic of Buryatia. The results were compared with two taxa (D. davurica and the variety D. davurica var. flava) which had been studied earlier. Content of 21 elements in the aboveground organs and samples of soil from sites of the plant collection was analysed by the method of X-ray fluorescence analysis using synchrotron radiation (SRXRF). For the first time, composition and content of the elements were determined for a new taxon D. gorovoii. The highest total content of the macroelements (K, Ca) was found in the aboveground organs of the two taxa: D. davurica and D. davurica var. flava; the highest content of the microelements was determined in the aboveground organs of D. gorovoii, D. mandshurica, and D. fruticosa. We found that each species had a characteristic concentration of elements.
Influence Intensity Turbulence on the Width of the Zone Chemical Reactions and Speed Distribution of Methane-Hydrogen Flame
Authors: Shaykin A. P. , Galiev I. R.
Published: March 2020

The prospects using methane-hydrogen fuel in power plants are shown. The effect of turbulence intensity on propagation velocity and width of the zone of chemical reactions methane-hydrogen flame in combustion chamber of variable volume is investigated. The article shows that effect of turbulence intensity on propagation velocity and flame width depends on fuel excess coefficient. During combustion of stoichiometric fuel-air mixtures, an increase in turbulence leads to a more noticeable increase in flame velocity than when burning poor and rich mixtures. It was experimentally found that increase in intensity of turbulence leads to a noticeable change in width of the flame only when burning poor and rich fuel-air mixtures. Processing of the results of foreign and domestic scientists has shown validity of our laws for combustion chambers of different designs using different hydrocarbon fuels. The results of the work can be used in design and debugging of energy-efficient and low-emission combustion chambers.

Published: March 2020

The issues related to the analysis of export and import of goods between two neighboring states: the Republic of Poland and the Russian Federation have been examined. Relations between the EU countries and Russia to date have been in a significant crisis. Cooperation in the economic field is reduced in the context of mutual sanctions. According to the authors, for the Russian Federation in the near future the main task should be set – economic rapprochement with the countries of the European Union and further negotiations on easing mutual sanctions, since these and other reasons significantly complicate the countertrade in goods and services and impede European integration. It is obvious, that European companies are also interested in normalizing commercial and economic relations. The limitations of non-tariff regulation in foreign trade have been considered also in the paper. It has been concluded on the need to gradually mitigate restrictive measures. And efforts in this direction should be made by both the Russian Federation and the member States of the European Union, including the Republic of Poland.

The formation and development of the main areas of technical and economic research in the field of aircraft engine building have been considered. A typical structure of the life cycle cost of an aircraft engine has been presented and typical tasks in the field of technical and economic efficiency, solved at different stages of the cycle, have been described. Also the method used to solve these problems at the stage of development work on the creation of the engine has been considered. The purpose of the study is to develop a risk assessment methodology for the creation of an aircraft engine, as well as its software implementation with subsequent integration into an existing design product. At this stage, it is necessary to describe clearly the algorithm that will be the basis for the risk assessment of the aircraft engine development.

An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of (9R,14R,17R)-FE399, a novel antitumor bicyclic depsipeptide, was developed. A 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic anhydride (MNBA)-mediated dehydration condensation reaction was effectively employed for the formation of the 16-membered macrocyclic depsipeptide moiety of FE399. FE399 was found to exist as an inseparable equilibrium mixture of conformational isomers; the mixture was quantitatively transformed into the corresponding S-benzyl product and isolated as a single isomer. Thus, we could confirm that the molecular structure of FE399 obtained by this method is identical to that of the natural product.

Fried foods have potential adverse effects on health. However, the compounds produced during the process of frying in different vegetable oils are unknown. A metabolomics study was first conducted to analyze the changes of compounds in 8 different vegetable oils before and after heating without any foods and reveal the potential markers of frying oil. And then these markers were validated in used frying oil. Our results of metabolomics indicated that both heating or frying significantly changed the compounds of vegetable oils. The 36 markers associated with heating from the 8 different oils were identified in used frying oils and were common markers of frying oil. Additionally, 22 markers detected in only one vegetable oil were the unique markers of frying oils. These markers can be used to distinguish used frying oil and have potential to reveal the associated physiological harm.

The utilization of carbon dioxide is a major incentive for the growing field of carbon capture. Carbon dioxide could be an abundant building block to generate higher value products. Herein, we describe the use of porous copper electrodes to catalyze the reduction of carbon dioxide into higher value products such as ethylene, ethanol and, notably, propanol. For n-propanol production, faradaic efficiencies reach 4.93% at -0.83 V vs RHE, with a geometric partial current density of -1.85 mA/cm2. We have documented the performance of the catalyst in both pristine and urea-modified foams pre- and post-electrolysis. Before electrolysis, the copper electrode consisted of a mixture of cuboctahedra and dendrites. After 35-minute electrolysis, the cuboctahedra and dendrites have undergone structural rearrangement. Changes in the interaction of urea with the catalyst surface have also been observed. These transformations were characterized ex-situ using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We found that alterations in the morphology, crystallinity, and surface composition of the catalyst led to the deactivation of the copper foams.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses have become a subject of study due to their novelty as an entirely new category of melt quenched glass and their potential applications in areas such as ion transport and sensing. In this paper we show how MOF glasses can be combined with inorganic glasses, in order to fabricate a new family of optically transparent materials, composed of both MOF and inorganic glass domains. Here, we present the design rules for this family of materials, use an array of experimental techniques to propose the bonding between inorganic and MOF domains, and show that the composites produced are more mechanically pliant than the inorganic glass itself.
Role of Viscosity in Deviations from the Nernst-Einstein Relation

Deviations from the Nernst-Einstein relation are commonly attributed to ion-ion correlation and ion-pairing. Despite the fact that these de- viations can be quantified by either experimental measurements or molecular dynamics simulations, there is no rule of thumb to tell the extent of deviations. Here, we show that deviations from the Nernst-Einstein relation is proportional to the inverse viscosity by exploring the finite-size effect on the transport properties in periodic boundary conditions. This conclusion is in accord with established experimental results of ionic liquids.
The Importance of Roles in the Skill Analogy
Authors: Dougherty Matthew Ryan
Published: March 2020

This paper argues for a reinterpretation of the skill analogy in virtue ethics. It argues that the skill analogy should not be understood as proposing that being virtuous is analogous to possessing a practical skill but, rather, as proposing that being virtuous is analogous to being a good occupant of a skill-involving role. The paper argues for this by engaging with various standard objections to the analogy, two recent defences of it, and Aristotle’s treatment of it in developing his account of virtue in the Nicomachean Ethics. It aims to show that neither virtue nor the skill analogy is correctly understood without recourse to the notion of a role and that once we have recourse to that notion, many objections to the analogy are met.

Published: March 2020

In this work, the rod-like 4,4¢-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-biphenyl (bibp) ligand is utilized as a building block for the coordination assembly with the Zn(II) ion to produce a new Zn(II)-based coordination polymer [Zn3(bibp)2(HCOO)6](H2O)2 (1) under solvothermal conditions. Furthermore, we use the grinding method to downsize complex 1 to the nanoregion. The anti-gastric cancer activity of the compound is evaluated by the Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis assay in flow cytometry, and the following mechanism exploration is performed by the DCFH-DA detection assay for the ROS detection.

Sungai Mayang merupakan sungai terpanjang di Kabupaten Jember. Sungai Mayang Segmen Desa Garahan Krajan sampai Desa Sumberjati merupakan sungai bagian hulu yang berlokasi dekat dengan pegunungan. Masyarakat sekitar memanfaatkan sungai tersebut untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari dan irigasi pertanian. Bahan pencemar organik dari limbah domestik dan limbah pertanian yang masuk ke sungai dapat menurunkan konsentrasi oksigen terlarut (DO) di sungai yang dapat mempengaruhi kualitas air sungai. Pengambilan sampel air Sungai Mayang berada di empat titik pantau yaitu MYG01, MYG02, MYG03, dan MYG04 yang menggunakan metode purposive sampling method, kemudian dilakukan analisis kualitas air. Penentuan daya tampung dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode Streeter-Phelps yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui laju deoksigenasi dan laju reaerasi sungai sehingga mampu untuk melakukan purifikasi alami. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui laju deoksigenasi dan laju reoksigenasi menggunakan metode Streeter-Phelps. Laju deoksigenasi dan laju reoksigenasi tersebut mempengaruhi perubahan konsentrasi oksigen terlarut pada perairan. Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer dengan mengambil sampel air sungai secara grab sampling pada 4 titik pemantauan. Hasil penelitian Sungai Mayang segmen Desa Garahan Krajan sampai Desa Sumberjati memiliki rata-rata rD sebesar 0,002 mg/L.hari dan rR sebesar 5,49 mg/L.hari. Nilai rD yang lebih kecil dari nilai rR menunjukkan bahwa penambahan oksigen terlarut lebih besar dibandingkan pengurangan oksigen terlarut di dalam perairan sehingga purifikasi alami sungai dapat berlangsung dengan baik. Analisis kualitas air sungai menunjukkan bahwa sungai masih berada di atas ambang batas baku mutu kualitas air sungai kelas II sehingga kualitas air sungai masih bagus dan aman digunakan oleh masyarakat. Selanjutnya hasil penelitian ini akan bermanfaat bagi penentuan daya dukung sungai.
