O processo de reconhecimento biométrico vem sendo aplicado há muito tempo, consistindo em uma alternativa para a identificação de pessoas, uma vez que apresenta características importantes para buscar o reconhecimento de padrões únicos que identificam os indivíduos. Dentre os reconhecimentos biométricos, a biometria digital, que utiliza como fonte de dados as impressões digitais, é a mais difundida, pois apresenta a facilidade da coleta das informações, bem como oferece uma boa margem de segurança quanto a identificação. Este tipo de reconhecimento possibilita a implementação de uma série de controles que são aplicados nos mais diversificados usos, sendo que para isto são utilizados equipamentos específicos para esta finalidade. No mercado existem vários tipos de equipamentos com este objetivo, porém como em qualquer equipamento, sempre vão existir necessidades que não são contempladas ou que são implementadas de forma diferente do que é exatamente o desejo do usuário, ou ainda, com uma série de funcionalidades que não serão utilizadas e acabam por onerar o equipamento, impactando diretamente no orçamento do projeto a ser implantado. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho busca demonstrar uma forma alternativa de implementação deste tipo de controle, utilizando o conceito de hardware livre através do Arduino, que possibilita a construção de projetos de equipamentos que, interligados com outros dispositivos, como o leitor de digitais, por exemplo, possam originar novos produtos com funcionalidades adequadas aos requisitos levantados. Além da parte física, o texto também apresenta a aplicação desenvolvida, que viabiliza a implementação de soluções para as necessidades apresentadas. A aplicação escolhida como forma de validação do processo foi algo que toma muito tempo dos professores em instituições de ensino, ou seja, o registro da presença dos alunos. Tarefa esta que demanda um tempo razoável que poderia estar sendo aplicado com mais propriedade no processo ensino-aprendizagem.
Equations of State with Group Contribution Binary Interaction Parameters for Calculation of Two-Phase Envelopes for Synthetic and Real Natural Gas Mixtures with Heavy Fractions
Authors: Nasrifar Khashayar , Rahmanian Nejat
Published: March 2018

Three equations of state with a group contribution model for binary interaction parameters were employed to calculate the vapor-liquid equilibria of synthetic and real natural gas mixtures with heavy fractions. In order to estimate the binary interaction parameters, critical temperatures, critical pressures and acentric factors of binary constituents of the mixture are required. The binary interaction parameter model also accounts for temperature. To perform phase equilibrium calculations, the heavy fractions were first discretized into 12 Single Carbon Numbers (SCN) using generalized molecular weights. Then, using the generalized molecular weights and specific gravities, the SCN were characterized. Afterwards, phase equilibrium calculations were performed employing a set of (nc + 1) equations where nc stands for the number of known components plus 12 SCN. The equations were solved iteratively using Newton's method. Predictions indicate that the use of binary interaction parameters for highly sour natural gas mixtures is quite important and must not be avoided. For sweet natural gas mixtures, the use of binary interaction parameters is less remarkable, however.

IMPLEMENTATION OF GROUP WORK IN THE CLASSROOM
Authors: Karim Usman
Published: March 2018

One of the techniques which is a breakthrough to traditional lock step language teaching is group work. The traditional lockstep language teaching focuses teaching language on the explicit explanation of grammatical aspects, asking students to read and translate  line by line, memorizing difficult words, repeating words, phrases and sentences, and memorizing dialogues. This way, students tend to be passive and have lack of language practice in the classroom.  In other words, language teaching focuses on presenting grammatical knowledge, not on the use of language.  The traditional teaching now has been replaced by the various innovative and effective language teaching  techniques since the emergence of communicative language teaching in 1970s. One of them is group work.  Group work is learning together in a small group of four or five to work with language. Through group work, students can have more chance to practice the use of language in the classroom. Many research findings  show that group work is superior to traditional language teaching  in terms of learning achievement. Some of the activities which can be implemented through group work in the classroom are to be presented in this paper. They are game, role play, project, information gap, jigsaw, think pair and share, debate, enquiry technique, prioritizing (Expedition to Gunoeng Leuser), and fishbowl technique.

The Faithful Do Not Yield: Jehovah's Witnesses in Nazi Camps
Authors: Chang Sabrina C. H. , Suedfeld Peter
Published: March 2018

Jehovah's Witnesses in countries under Nazi rule refused to participate in war-related activities in any way. Consequently, unless they abjured their religion, they were subject to severe penalties. Between 6,700 and 7,000 were sent to concentration camps. In contrast to Jewish Holocaust survivors, not much research has been conducted on this group. The present study used thematic content analysis to assess patterns of universal values, coping strategies, and resolutions of psychosocial crises as these were manifested in the memoirs and interviews of 62 Jehovah's Witness survivors of the camps, and compared those with the counterpart results of interviews with 58 Jewish survivors recorded in 1946. The results show differences tentatively attributable to the relative status of the Witnesses and Jews in Nazi ideology and in the lifestyles and religious beliefs of the two groups. Further research, with larger sample sizes, is needed for definitive conclusions to be drawn.
Newly Recognized Human Dental Remains at Les Fadets (Lussac-les-Châteaux, Vienne, France)
Authors: Lacy S.A. , Bailey S. , Benazzi S. , Delage C.
Published: March 2018

Archeological research at the site of Les Fadets in the town of Lussac-les-Châteaux (Department of Vienne, France) has a 150-year history; however, comprehensive descriptions of the results of its various excavations are mostly unknown. Here we present previously unrecognized human dental remains discovered among the curated faunal remains in the context of the history of research at Les Fadets, with a focus on the Upper Paleolithic occupations of the site. Occupation at Les Fadets spans the Middle Paleolithic to the recent historic period. Curatorial details suggest that these children’s teeth (Les Fadets 3–6) come from the extensive Magdalenian occupation. In support of this, metric and morphological analyses suggest the teeth cluster with other modern humans rather than Neandertals. This region is rich with Paleolithic cultural sites, and the discovery of these teeth from Les Fadets adds to the small data set available of Upper Paleolithic human remains, especially those of young individuals.
What Does Nasal Cavity Size Tell us about Functional Nasal Airways?
Authors: Heuzé Y.
Published: March 2018

Studies on dry human skulls have shown that nasal cavity (NC) morphology varies with eco-geographic factors. These findings have been used by some authors to interpret the facial morphology of Neanderthals. However, respiratory and air-conditioning functions are primarily carried out by the nasal airways (NA), which are delimited by mucosa. The aims of this study were to test whether: (1) NC volume (V) and surface-area-to-volume ratio (SA/ V) are proportional to NA counterparts; (2) measurements for male NC and NA are larger than in females; (3) the centroid size (CS) of a set of landmarks measured on NC provides a reliable proxy for NC V. Head CT (computed tomography) images of adult patients (N= 30) at the University Hospital of Bordeaux were selected retrospectively. NA were defined by segmenting the lumen corresponding to the functional volume. NC was defined by adding to NA the soft tissues delimited by the bones forming the NC. The coordinates of 16 landmarks measured on NC bones were recorded. A rather low correlation was found between NA and NC V while NA SA/V and NC SA/V were not correlated. No significant differences were found between male and female NA and NC measurements. A rather low correlation was found between NC Vand NC CS. If these preliminary results were to be confirmed by future studies, results using NC as a proxy for NA focusing on air-conditioning and respiratory energetics might need to be re-interpreted.
Routinebetreuung und interaktive „Quality Time“: Was beeinflusst, wieviel Zeit Väter wie mit ihren Kindern verbringen?
Authors: Walper Sabine , Lien Shih-cheng
Published: March 2018

The present paper focuses fathers‘ engagement in couple households with children below age ten, investigating two core domains of activities: (1) routine child care and (2) interactive activities which have frequently been pointed out as „quality time“ being more important for fostering children’s development. Based on the current Time Use Survey 2012/2013, we investigate the amount of time spent for each domain of activities and estimate relevant predictors of time use by means of regression analysis. Data for 665 fathers show that fathers‘ longer working hours in employment reduce their time with children in both domains on weekdays and on weekends, while the number of children and the age of the youngest child only affect their time use for routine child care on weekdays. Mothers’ longer working hours seem to be somewhat compensated by fathers’ higher time investments in child care. The strong positive link between both parents‘ time use in each domain, particularly for interactive child care, points to the high synchronicity in both parents’ time investments for children. Accordingly, fathers‘ time for child care strongly reflects jointly spent family time.

Zusammenfassung

Der vorliegende Beitrag fokussiert das Engagement von Vätern in Paarhaushalten mit unter zehnjährigen Kindern in zwei zentralen Aktivitätsbereichen: (1) der Routinebetreuung der Kinder und (2) interaktiven Aktivitäten, die vielfach als „quality time“ und damit als stärker entwicklungsförderlich für die Kinder herausgestellt wurden. Anhand der aktuellen Zeitverwendungserhebung 2012/2013 werden neben dem zeitlichen Umfang für jeden Aktivitätsbereich auch hierfür relevante Einflussfaktoren anhand von Regressionsanalysen untersucht. Die Befunde für 665 Väter zeigen, dass ein höherer Erwerbsumfang der Väter in beiden Bereichen sowohl wochentags als auch an Wochenenden mit weniger Zeitaufwand für die Kinder einhergeht. Demgegenüber sind die Anzahl der Kinder und das Alter des jüngsten Kindes lediglich für die Routinebetreuung an einem Wochentag relevant. Darüber hinaus scheint ein höherer Erwerbsumfang der Mütter in begrenztem Umfang durch höheres zeitliches Engagement der Väter für ihre Kinder kompensiert zu werden. Der deutliche positive Zusammenhang der Zeitaufwendung beider Eltern im jeweiligen Bereich, insbesondere in interaktiven Aktivitäten, spricht für eine hohe Synchronisierung der zeitlichen Investitionen beider Eltern für ihre Kinder. Demnach reflektieren die Betreuungszeiten der Väter in hohem Maße gemeinsam verbrachte Familienzeit.

The level and redox status of glutathione is a good indicator for the rate of oxidative stress and eco-toxicological injury in plant cells and subcellular organelles. Thus the determination of GSH and its redox status has special importance. A variety of spectrophotometric and HPLC methods are available to measure glutathione (GSH). The spectrophotometric DTNB-GSH recycling assay is specific due to the application of glutathione reductase, it is rather quick and easy to perform, not surprising that it is rather popular. In the present study we make an attempt to compare the DTNB-GSH recycling assay and the more sophisticated, but difficult monochlorobimane (mBCl)-HPLC method to choose the one that best suits for eco-toxicological and plant stress investigations. We found that the acidification by sulphosalicylic acid (SSA) used for the stabilization of samples for DTNB-GSH recycling assay gives lower efficiency to this method than the formation of mBCl-GSH fluorescent conjugate. The measurable GSH contents were lower in the case of DTNB-GSH recycling assay than in the case of GSH-mBCl conjugates determined by HPLC with fluorescence detection. The auto-oxidation could almost perfectly be prevented by the presence of mBCl in the organelle isolation buffer. Furthermore, this way the reduced GSH content of organelles could be determined much more precisely. However, it is worth to note that the application of mBCl significantly elevates the cost of GSH determination, especially in case of cell organelles.

Energy storage systems (ESS) are key elements that can be used to improve electrical system efficiency by contributing to balance of supply and demand. They provide a means for enhancing the power quality and stability of electrical systems. They can enhance electrical system flexibility by mitigating supply intermittency, which has recently become problematic, due to the increased penetration of renewable generation. Flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are a technology in which there is gathering interest due to a number of advantages offered over other storage solutions. These technical qualities attributed to flywheels include high power density, low environmental impact, long operational life, high round-trip efficiency and high cycle life. Furthermore, when configured in banks, they can store MJ levels of energy without any upper limit. Flywheels configured for grid connected operation are systems comprising of a mechanical part, the flywheel rotor, bearings and casings, and the electric drive part, inclusive of motor-generator (MG) and power electronics. This contribution focusses on the modelling and simulation of a high inertia FESS for energy storage applications which has the potential for use in the residential sector in more challenging situations, a subject area in which there are few publications. The type of electrical machine employed is a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and this, along with the power electronics drive, is simulated in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. A brief description of the flywheel structure and applications are given as a means of providing context for the electrical modelling and simulation reported. The simulated results show that the system run-down losses are 5% per hour, with overall roundtrip efficiency of 88%. The flywheel speed and energy storage pattern comply with the torque variations, whilst the DC-bus voltage remains constant and stable within ±3% of the rated voltage, regardless of load fluctuations.
An Investigation of the High Efficiency Estimation Approach of the Large-Scale Scattered Point Cloud Normal Vector

Published: March 2018

The normal vector estimation of the large-scale scattered point cloud (LSSPC) plays an important role in point-based shape editing. However, the normal vector estimation for LSSPC cannot meet the great challenge of the sharp increase of the point cloud that is mainly attributed to its low computational efficiency. In this paper, a novel, fast method-based on bi-linear interpolation is reported on the normal vector estimation for LSSPC. We divide the point sets into many small cubes to speed up the local point search and construct interpolation nodes on the isosurface expressed by the point cloud. On the premise of calculating the normal vectors of these interpolated nodes, a normal vector bi-linear interpolation of the points in the cube is realized. The proposed approach has the merits of accurate, simple, and high efficiency, because the algorithm only needs to search neighbor and calculates normal vectors for interpolation nodes that are usually far less than the point cloud. The experimental results of several real and simulated point sets show that our method is over three times faster than the Elliptic Gabriel Graph-based method, and the average deviation is less than 0.01 mm.
Influence of Substrate Stage Temperature and Rotation Rate on the Magneto-Optical Quality of RF-Sputtered Bi2.1Dy0.9Fe3.9Ga1.1O12 Garnet Thin Films
Authors: Nur-E-Alam M. , Vasiliev Mikhail , Alameh Kamal
Published: March 2018

Highly bismuth-substituted iron garnet thin films are prepared on quartz substrates by using a radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique. We study the factors (process parameters associated with the RF magnetron sputter deposition technique) affecting the magneto-optical (MO) properties of ferrite garnet films of composition Bi2.1Dy0.9Fe3.9Ga1.1O12. All films show high MO response across the visible range of wavelengths after being annealed. In particular, the effects of substrate stage temperature and rotation rate on the various properties of films are studied. Experimental results reveal that the characteristics of garnet films of this type can be tuned and optimized for use in various magnetic field-driven nanophotonics and integrated optics devices, and that, at a substrate stage rotation rate near 16 revolutions per minute, the MO quality of the developed MO films is the best, in comparison with films deposited at other rotation rates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the effects of deposition parameters on the properties of garnet films of this stoichiometry.
An Interference Cancellation Scheme for High Reliability Based on MIMO Systems
Authors: Ro Jae-Hyun , Park Sung-Soon , Song Hyoung-Kyu
Published: March 2018

This article proposes a new interference cancellation scheme in a half-duplex based two-path relay system. In the conventional two-path relay system, inter-relay-interference (IRI) which severely degrades the error performances at a destination occurs because a source and a relay transmit signals simultaneously at a specific time. The proposed scheme removes the IRI at a relay for higher signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) to receive interference free signal at a destination, unlike the conventional relay system, which removes IRI at a destination. To handle the IRI, the proposed scheme uses multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signal detection at the relays and it makes low-complexity signal processing at a destination which is a usually mobile user. At the relays, the proposed scheme uses the low-complexity QR decomposition-M algorithm (QRD-M) to optimally remove the IRI. Also, for obtaining diversity gain, the proposed scheme uses cyclic delay diversity (CDD) to transmit the signals at a source and the relays. In simulation results, the error performance for the proposed scheme is better when the distance between one relay and another relay is low unlike the conventional scheme because the QRD-M detects received signal in order of higher post signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Published: March 2018

This study first assesses the performance of regional climate models in the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) in reproducing observed extreme precipitation indices over the Greater Horn of Africa (GHA) region during 1989–2005. The study then assesses projected changes in these extremes during 2069–2098 compared to 1976–2005. The Regional Climate Model (RCM) simulations are made using two RCMs, with large-scale forcing from four CMIP5 Global limate Models(GCMs) under two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). We found that RCM simulations have reasonably captured observed patterns of moderate precipitation extreme indices (MPEI). Pattern correlation coefficients between simulated and observed MPEI exceed 0.5 for all except the Simple Daily Intensity Index (SDII). However, significant overestimations or underestimations exist over localized areas in the region. Projected changes in Total annual Precipitation (PRCPTOT) and the annual number of heavy (>10 mm) and very heavy (>20 mm) precipitation days by 2069–2098 show a general north-south pattern, with decreases over the southern half and increases over the northern half of the GHA. These changes are often greatest over parts of Somalia, Eritrea, the Ethiopian highlands and southern Tanzania. Maximum one- and five-day precipitation totals over a year and SDII (ratio of PRCPTOT to rainy days) are projected to increase over a majority of the GHA, including areas where PRCPTOT is projected to decrease, suggesting fewer, but heavier rainy days in the future. Changes in the annual sum of daily precipitation above the 95th and 99th percentiles are statistically significant over a few locations, with the largest projected decrease/increase over Eritrea and northwestern Sudan/Somalia. Projected changes in Consecutive Dry Days (CDD) suggest longer periods of dryness over the majority of the GHA, except the central portions covering northern Uganda, southern South Sudan, southeastern Ethiopia and Somalia. Substantial increases in CDD are located over southern Tanzania and the Ethiopian highlands. The magnitude and the spatial extent of statistically-significant changes in all MPEI increase from RCP4.5 to RCP8.5, and the separation between positive and negative changes becomes clearer under RCP8.5.

Authors: Yee Nelson
Published: March 2018

Progress has been made in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancers through advances in systemic therapies, surgical interventions, and radiation therapy. At the Multi-Disciplinary Patient Care in Gastrointestinal Oncology conference, the faculty members of the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center presented a variety of topics that focused on this sub-specialty. This conference paper highlights the new development in systemic treatment of various malignant diseases in the digestive system. Results of the recent clinical trials that investigated the clinical efficacy of pegylated hyaluronidase, napabucasin, and L-asparaginase in pancreatic carcinoma are presented. The use of peri-operative chemotherapy comprised of 5-fluorouracil or capecitabine, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel (FLOT), and immunotherapy including pembrolizumab, nivolumab, and ipilimumab in gastroesophageal carcinoma are discussed. Data from clinical trials that investigated the targeted therapeutics including nivolumab, ramucirumab, lenvatinib, and BLU-554 are reported. The role of adjuvant capecitabine in resected biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) and nab-paclitaxel in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in advanced BTC are presented. In colorectal carcinoma, the efficacy of nivolumab, adjuvant FOLFOX or CAPOX, irinotecan/cetuximab/vemurafenib, and trifluridine/tipiracil/bevacizumab, is examined. In summary, some of the above systemic therapies have become or are expected to become new standard of care, while the others demonstrate the potential of becoming new treatment options.

Published: March 2018

Reports suggest comorbidity between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the connective tissue disorder, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). People with EDS and the broader spectrum of Generalized Joint Hypermobility (GJH) often present with immune- and endocrine-mediated conditions. Meanwhile, immune/endocrine dysregulation is a popular theme in autism research. We surveyed a group of ASD women with/without GJH to determine differences in immune/endocrine exophenotypes. ASD women 25 years or older were invited to participate in an online survey. Respondents completed a questionnaire concerning diagnoses, immune/endocrine symptom history, experiences with pain, and seizure history. ASD women with GJH (ASD/GJH) reported more immune- and endocrine-mediated conditions than their non-GJH counterparts (p = 0.001). Autoimmune conditions were especially prominent in the ASD/GJH group (p = 0.027). Presence of immune-mediated symptoms often co-occurred with one another (p < 0.001–0.020), as did endocrine-mediated symptoms (p < 0.001–0.045), irrespective of the group. Finally, the numbers of immune- and endocrine-mediated symptoms shared a strong inter-relationship (p < 0.001), suggesting potential system crosstalk. While our results cannot estimate comorbidity, they reinforce concepts of an etiological relationship between ASD and GJH. Meanwhile, women with ASD/GJH have complex immune/endocrine exophenotypes compared to their non-GJH counterparts. Further, we discuss how connective tissue regulates the immune system and how the immune/endocrine systems in turn may modulate collagen synthesis, potentially leading to higher rates of GJH in this subpopulation.
