El derecho a ostentar la denominación de origen: las dispustas por la hegemonía en el mercado agroalimentario mundial
Authors: Gómez Guadalupe Rodríguez
Published: January 2018

Las mercancías agroalimentarias que cuentan con el reconocimiento mundial de la denominación de origen (DO) objetivan la compleja interconexión entre procesos de inclusión y exclusión de productores, regiones y países. Este ensayo es una revisión de las dinámicas históricas de construcción de las DO. Captura el entretejimiento dialéctico de los procesos materiales, culturales y de poder que informan y conforman el valor comercial y simbólico de éstas. Ilustra el papel que los Estados desempeñan en la incorporación de sus productos con DO al mercado global y muestra cómo la soberanía de los mismos parece quebrarse al ser las instancias de negociación comercial
multilaterales las que legitiman las DO.

La otra guerrilla mexicana. Aproximaciones al estudio del Ejército Popular Revolucionario
Authors: Lofredo Jorge
Published: January 2018

An aspect of Mexican life which has not been sufficiently examined is the post-zapatista guerrilla. It appeared in 1996, but in the course of four years it disintegrated and became almost non-existent. The influence of zapatismo, the militar y actions under taken by Mexican security agencies, its relationship with social struggles, and the unsteady process of a democratic transition that is unable to reach the rural areas, limited this process in various ways; although, it is also impor tant to highlight the social suppor t that the armed struggle receives. The poor media coverage it received is another difference experienced by the EPR, which currently struggles with internal problems, repression and the termination of its original project.

Este análisis considera tanto factores de orden natural (diversidad genética, cambio climático y degradación ambiental), como económico (autosuficiencia alimentaria e importación y exportación de alimentos) y social (movilidad de la población, ingreso y niveles de pobreza).Concluye que la política agroalimentaria en México ha contribuido a una mayor vulnerabilidad alimentaria de la población mexicana en el corto y mediano plazo..
Ensayo sobre los obstáculos al desarrollo rural en México. Retrospectiva y prospectiva
Authors: Alcántara Cynthia Hewitt De
Published: January 2018

Este ensayo constituye una reflexión sobre patrones de cambio y de continuidad en los elementos que impiden el desarrollo rural de México. Empieza con una breve reseña de la manera en que muchos estudiosos definieron los principales problemas del campo durante las décadas de 1960 y 1970.Después se analizan dos grandes experiencias de política pública, basadas en supuestos diametralmente opuestos, con los cuales se ha intentado hacer frente a la problemática rural desde la década de 1970. Por último, se regresa a la pregunta rectora del ensayo: ¿siguen vigentes hoy día los mismos obstáculos al desarrollo rural que se señalaron hace treinta o cuarenta años? ¿Cuáles elementos de la situación anterior perduran todavía en 2007? ¿Y cuáles han perdido relevancia frente a los nuevos retos que confronta la población del campo?

Los signos y el lenguaje sagrado de los 20 días en el calendario ritual de la Mixteca y los códices del noroeste de Oaxaca
Authors: Cano Laura Rodríguez
Published: January 2018

The reconstruction of the list of the 20 days in the ritual calendar and their Mixtec names was made possible by the studies of the codices of the northeastern area of Oaxaca done by Caso (1958), Jiménez Moreno (1962), Dahlgren (1952), and Smith (1973).Their works have truly been the key for relating the logograms, the numerals, and the days to their corresponding Mixtec word. This paper shows how three codices from the Mixteca Baja —Mapa de Xochitepec, Códice Mixteco Postcortesiano no. 36, and the Mapa de San Vicente el Palmar— mention the calendrical names of the
rulers, whose anthroponyms transcriptions were formerely unknown. The glosses in Mixtec in these documents allow us to corroborate the Mixtec names of the days in most positions, with slight variations in their graphic symbols, and the use of a special language for Mixtec names.
Religiosidad y bultos sagrados en la Mixteca prehispánica
Authors: Lejarazu Manuel A. Hermann
Published: January 2018

The sacred bundle cult is one of the most widespread ritual activities throughout Mesoamerica. There is an abundant number of descriptions and representations of sacred bundles both in colonial sources and prehispanic pictographic documents, and the Mixteca region houses the greatest number of them.The use of bundles in Mixtec religiousness took place in foundational rituals, ceremonies of the accession of rulers, and periodical ceremonies that involved the whole community, but also in particular or private cults organized by the owner of a specific bundle. It appears that the sacred bundle cult was so widespread in the Mixteca that it might have been the main religious manifestation of the region during the prehispanic period.
Documentos pictográficos de la Mixteca Baja de Oaxaca: el Lienzo de San Vicente el Palmar, el Mapa núm. 36 y el Lienzo Mixteca III*
Authors: Doesburg Sebastián Van
Published: January 2018

Among the ten most important pictographic documents from the Mixteca Baja, four stand out because of their similar cartographic composition: the Lienzo de San Vicente del Palmar, the Mapa núm. 36, the Lienzo Mixteco III, and the Mapa de Xochitepec.The interpretation of these documents faces one main difficulty: the absence of any clear references to their places of origin.This paper attempts to identify the origin of the first three documents. The Lienzo de San Vicente el Palmar appears to come from the kingdom of Ihualtepec, and the other two from the neighboring kingdom of Atoyac.The salty water springs used for salt production since the prehispanic period constitutes a recurrent topic in these documents.
El ejercicio de la democracia en dos comunidades forestales de la Sierra Norte de Oaxaca, México*
Authors: Mitchell Ross E.
Published: January 2018

This study examines democratic parameters within the framework of common property systems. Two forest-based communities of the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, Mexico —Santa Catarina Ixtepeji and Santa Maria Yavesía— were selected for comparison on key democratic features.Their respective forest land-use decisions have been regulated by “usos y costumbres”, local practices of governance based on indigenous systems of community service, along with socio-environmental considerations. Both communities have taken different forest use paths with positive and negative
consequences for democratic governance of local forest resources.This study brings new insight into the meaning of democracy and common property systems.

Although it is not an industrialized sector, bakery employees controlled the leadership of the worker’s movement in San Luis Potosí and other parts of Mexico, at least during the first years that followed the Revolution.The baker’s militant mood was fueled by their labor conditions, which at the time remained similar to those of the eighteenth century.The environment generated by the Revolution allowed them to deploy a series of actions that sought to conquer social spaces, improve their working conditions, and influence local politics.However, they also faced officials that tried to repress the worker’s movement in general and the bakers’ in particular.At every stage, the bakers
knew how to adopt an adequate strategy attune with the particular political conditions they faced.

Schiaparelli et les archéologues italiens aux bords du Nil : égyptologie et rivalités diplomatiques entre 1882 et 1922
Authors: Jarsaillon Carole
Published: January 2018

In 1903, Ernesto Schiaparelli made the decision to excavate directly in Egypt rather than purchasing objects for the Museo Egizio of Turin on the art market. The MAI, the Italian Archaeological Mission in Egypt, was thus born, marking the first steps of the newly unified Italian nation-state in the field of Egyptian archaeology. When investigating the context of these early Italian excavations and the way the thriving science of Egyptology was managed in Egypt between 1882 and 1922, one notices the paramount importance of geopolitical stakes in the matter, and particularly the prominence of Anglo-French rivalry. The article explores how Italian Egyptology managed to thrive in this international political context, and seeks to assess to what extent these diplomatic stakes impacted the work of Schiaparelli’s team and its dissemination among the international Egyptological community. The author first looks into the organization of Egyptology and its Service of Antiquities as a tool of colonialism, as well as a political stake among European powers at the turn of the century, especially as regards the internationalization and expansion of archaeological excavations along the banks of the Nile. She then turns to the place of Italian Egyptology within this framework, and notably its relationship with the Service of Antiquities, its discoveries, and how knowledge about these discoveries was disseminated through official publications.

أتخذ إرنستو سكياباريللى فى عام 1903م قرار الحفر (التنقيب عن الآثار) مباشرة فى مصر بدلاً من شراء القطع الآثرية للمتحف المصرى بتورينو من الأماكن المخصصة لبيعها. وهكذا ولدت البعثة الآثرية الإيطالية فى مصر(MAI) ، رمزاً إلى الخطوات الأولى للأمة الإيطالية الموحدة حديثاً فى مجال الآثار المصرية. عند إستقصاء ودراسة السياق والمحتوى لهذة الحفائر الإيطالية المبكرة، وإذا درسنا الطريقة التى أدارت إزدهار علم المصريات فى مصر بين عامى 1882 و 1922، يمكننا أن نلاحظ الأهمية الكبيرة للتحديات الجغرافية السياسية (الجيو-سياسية) فى هذة المسألة، وخاصة بروز التنافس الانجلو-فرنسى.

يستكشف هذا المقال كيف تمكن علماء المصريات الإيطاليين من الأزدهار في هذا السياق السياسي الدولي، كما يهدف أيضاً إلى تقييم مدى تأثير هذه الرهانات والتحديات الدبلوماسية على عمل فريق سكياباريللى ونشره بين مجتمع علماء المصريات الدولى. تحرى المؤلف أولا تنظيم علم المصريات ومصلحة الآثار كأداة للاستعمار، بالإضافة إلى التحدى السياسى بين القوى الأوروبية في مطلع القرن، وخاصة فيما يتعلق بالتدويل (المشاركة الدولية) وتوسيع الحفائر الأثرية على طول ضفاف نهر النيل. ثم انتقل المؤلف إلى الحديث عن مكانة علم المصريات الإيطالي في هذا الإطار، ولا سيما علاقتها مع مصلحة الآثار، واكتشافاتها، وكيفية المعرفة عن هذه الاكتشافات كان من خلال النشر فى المنشورات الرسمية.
Le torse de Ramsès, le pied de Mérenptah et le nez d’Amenhotep : observations sur quelques statues royales des collections turinoises (Cat. 1381, 1382 et 3148)
Authors: Connor Simon
Published: January 2018

The article focuses on three fragmentary New Kingdom royal statues from Thebes, now part of the collections of the Museo Egizio. Stylistic analysis allows the three pieces (a statue in the praying posture, a base with a foot, and a colossal nose, respectively "Cat. 1381", "1382" and "3148") to be assigned to specific kings, despite mutilations or transformations due to reuse. 

Far from being only an exercise in anecdotic attribution, studying statue fragments can throw light on the whole corpus of a king or a period, as well as on the decoration program of a site and the dialogue between a sculpture and its architectural surroundings. The article places special emphasis on the theme of reuse, also commonly called “usurpation”. The implications of this practice are still largely obscure, but the intentional modification of features clearly demonstrates the importance that the ancient Egyptians assigned to style, an interest that twenty-first-century Egyptologists should continue to manifest.

من خلال تحليل الأسلوب الفنى، يمكن أن تنسب هذه القطع الثلاثة (وهى تمثال فى الوضع التعبدى، قاعدة تمثال بالقدم، أنف ضخمة) وهى بالتتابع برقم كتالوج (1381، 1382، 3148) يمكن ان تنسب لأحد الملوك، رغم أن ما فيها من تشوهات و تغيرات فى هيئتها راجع لإعادة استخدامها، وبعيدا عن كونها عملية تنسيب للقطع أى معرفة نسبتها، فإن دراسة بقايا التماثيل تسمح بإلقاء الضوء على المجموعة أو الأعمال الفنية الكاملة لملك ما أو عصر ما بالإضافة إلى النظام الزخرفى فى الموقع و كذلك الربط بين القطعة وما يحيط بها من عناصر معماريه.

الهدف من هذا المقال هو صياغة أسئلة أكثر من إعطاء إجابات، كما يهدف لتشجيع الباحثين لإعطاء إقتراحاتهم، ويركز المقال بشكل خاص على فكرة إعادة الإستخدام والتى تسمى عادة الأغتصاب، والظروف المصاحبة لهذه الظاهرة مازالت بشكل كبير غامضة بالنسبة لنا، ولكن التغيير المتعمد للملامح يبين بوضوح الأهمية التى كان يوليها المصريون القدماء للأسلوب الفنى، وهو إهتمام لابد لعلماء المصريات فى القرن 21 أن يستمروا فى اجلائه وتوضيحه.
A Shabti-Box of Djehutyhotep (Turin Cat. 2443)
Authors: Marini Paolo
Published: January 2018

This paper focuses on an interesting and never before studied shabti-box (Cat. 2443) currently kept at the Museo Egizio, Turin. By consulting archival documents, the author has ascertained that the container comes from the collection sold by Bernardino Drovetti to King Carlo Felice in 1824. The box is inscribed for the imy-rA pr and sSm(w)-Hb n Jmn Djehutyhotep. It has a pr-nw-chapel shape and is decorated with some very common funerary scenes. Its unusual combination of iconography from the Ramesside period and morphological characteristics from the Eighteenth Dynasty makes it a unicum, eluding habitual typological classifications. However, stylistic analysis and comparisons with other shabti-boxes indicate that the owner must have flourished during the reign of Ramesses II.

Fast Performance Computing Model for Smart Distributed Power Systems
Authors: Younas Umair , Khan B. , Ali S. M. , Vaccaro Alfredo
Published: January 2018

Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) are becoming the more prominent solution compared to fossil fuels cars technology due to its significant role in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction, flexible storage, and ancillary service provision as a Distributed Generation (DG) resource in Vehicle to Grid (V2G) regulation mode. However, large-scale penetration of PEVs and growing demand of energy intensive Data Centers (DCs) brings undesirable higher load peaks in electricity demand hence, impose supply-demand imbalance and threaten the reliability of wholesale and retail power market. In order to overcome the aforementioned challenges, the proposed research considers smart Distributed Power System (DPS) comprising conventional sources, renewable energy, V2G regulation, and flexible storage energy resources. Moreover, price and incentive based Demand Response (DR) programs are implemented to sustain the balance between net demand and available generating resources in the DPS. In addition, we adapted a novel strategy to implement the computational intensive jobs of the proposed DPS model including incoming load profiles, V2G regulation, battery State of Charge (SOC) indication, and fast computation in decision based automated DR algorithm using Fast Performance Computing resources of DCs. In response, DPS provide economical and stable power to DCs under strict power quality constraints. Finally, the improved results are verified using case study of ISO California integrated with hybrid generation.

Published: January 2018

Now a days a country cannot become economically strong until and unless it has enough electrical power to fulfil industrial and domestic needs. Electrical power being the pillar of any country’s economy, needs to be used in an efficient way. The same step is taken here by proposing a new system for energy distribution from substation to consumer houses, also it monitors the consumer consumption and record data. Unlike traditional manual Electrical systems, pervasive electricity distribution system (PEDS) introduces a fresh perspective to monitor the feeder line status at distribution and consumer level. In this system an effort is taken to address the issues of electricity theft, manual billing, online monitoring of electrical distribution system and automatic control of electrical distribution points. The project is designed using microcontroller and different sensors, its GUI is designed in Labview software.

Published: January 2018

In this paper, we present a technique that detects both false positive and false negative attacks in statistical filtering-based wireless sensor networks. In statistical filtering scheme, legitimate reports are repeatedly verified en route before they reach the base station, which causes heavy energy consumption. While the original statistical filtering scheme detects only false reports, our proposed method promises to detect both attacks.
A Fast Implementation of Minimum Spanning Tree Method and Applying it to Kruskal’s and Prim’s Algorithms
Authors: Munier Badri , Aleem Muhammad , Islam Muhammad Arshad , Iqbal Muhammad Azhar , Mehmood Waqar
Published: January 2018

In last decade, application developers attained improved performances by merely employing the machines based on higher-clocked processors. However, in 2003 multi-core processors emerged and eradicated the old processor manufacturing technology based on increasing processor’s clock frequencies. After emergence of new parallel processor architectures, serial applications must be re-engineered into parallel versions to exploit the computing power of the existing hardware. In this paper, we present an efficient parallel implementation of minimum spanning tree algorithm to take advantage of the computing power of multi-core machines. Computer network routing, civil infrastructure planning and cluster analysis are typically use-cases of spanning tree problem. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is scalable for different machine and graph sizes. The methodology is simple and can easily be implemented using different shared-memory parallel programming models.

Authors: Mahmood Nadeem , Khurram Pasha Madiha , Pasha Khurram Ahmed
Published: January 2018

It is always difficult to manipulate the production of huge amount of data which comes from multiple sources and to extract meaningful information to make appropriate decisions. When data comes from various input resources, to get required streams of events form this complex input network, the one of the strong functionality of Business Intelligence (BI) the Complex Event Processing (CEP) is the appropriate solution for the above mention problems. Real time processing, pattern matching, stream processing, big data management, sensor data processing and many more are the application areas of CEP. Health domain itself is a multi-dimension domain such as hospital supply chain, OPD management, disease diagnostic, In-patient, out-patient management, and emergency care etc. In this paper, the main focus is to discuss the application areas of Complex Event Processing (CEP) in health domain by using sensor device, such that how CEP manipulate health data set events coming from sensor devices such as blood pressure, heart rate, fall detection, sugar level, temperature or any other vital signs and how this systems respond to these events as quickly as possible.

Latest advancements in online video databases have caused a huge violation of copyright material misuse. Usually a video clip having a proper copyright is available in online video databases like YouTube without permission of the owner. It remains available until the owner takes a notice and requests to the website manager to remove copyright material. The problem with this approach is that usually the copyright material is downloaded and watched illegally during the period of upload and subsequent removal on request of the owner. This study aims at presenting an automatic content based system to detect any copyright violation in online video clips. In this technique, a video clip is needed from original video that is used to query from online video to find out shot similarity based on high level objects like shapes.

Due to the high level exposure of biomedical image analysis, Medical image mining has become one of the well-established research area(s) of machine learning. AI (Artificial Intelligence) techniques have been vastly used to solve the complex classification problems of thyroid cancer. Since the persistence of copycat chromatin properties and unavailability of nuclei measurement techniques, it is really problem for doctors to determine the initial phases of nuclei enlargement and to assess the early changes of chromatin distribution. For example involvement of multiple transparent overlapping of nuclei may become the cause of confusion to infer the growth pattern of nuclei variations. Un-decidable nuclei eccentric properties may become one of the leading causes for misdiagnosis in Anaplast cancers. In-order to mitigate all above stated problems this paper proposes a novel methodology so called “Decision Support System for Anaplast Thyroid Cancer” and it proposes a medical data preparation algorithm AD (Analpast_Cancers) which helps to select the appropriate features of Anaplast cancers such as (1) enlargement of nuclei, (2) persistence of irregularity in nuclei and existence of hyper chromatin. Proposed methodology comprises over four major layers, first layer deals with the noise reduction, detection of nuclei edges and object clusters. Second layer selects the features of object of interest such as nuclei enlargement, irregularity and hyper chromatin. Third layer constructs the decision model to extract the hidden patterns of disease associated variables and final layer evaluates the performance evaluation by using confusion matrix, precision and recall measures. The overall classification accuracy is measured about 97.2% with 10-k fold cross validation.

New series of pyrazoline spacer compounds were prepared by the reaction between benzimidazole chalcones and (2-methyl-5-nitro-imidazole-1-yl)-acetic acid hydrazide by the sensible use of Michael addition. The building blocks used for the synthesis of pyrazoline derivatives were opted by using virtual screening by molinspiration search engine. The hypothetically resulted pyrazoline spacer compounds from this list are checked for their reliability on other in silico drug designing online web services like PASS online bioactivity, Swiss ADME predictor. The docking study on final four pyrazoline compounds was carried out using Accelrys Discovery Studio 3.5. These synthesized compounds were, later, characterized with the help of UV, IR, mass and 1H NMR techniques. These compounds were further screened for their in vitro antimalarial effect. The PASS, Swiss ADME assisted docking approach and the use of combo heterocyclic ring with pyrazoline scaffold were found to be beneficial to derive and synthesize effective antimalarial agents in the present study.

Published: January 2018

The experiment was conducted at Multiplication Testing Site (MLT) Trishal of on-farm research division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Mymensingh during 2015-16 and 2016-17 to study the comparative agro-economic performance of four crops pattern for increasing cropping intensity and productivity as compared with existing farmers’ pattern. Four crops pattern (Boro-T.Aus-T.Aman-Mustard) and farmers’ existing pattern (Boro-fallow-T.Aman- fallow) as control were tested. On an average, organic matter 3.94 t ha-1and 2.60 t ha-1 were added to soil in four crops pattern and farmers existing pattern by incorporation of biomass of respective crops.. Two years average results showed that the highest rice equivalent yield (20.63 t ha-1) was obtained from four crops pattern. The highest average gross return and gross margin of the four crops pattern were obtained Tk.359570 and Tk. 170162 ha-1 which were 80 and 207 % higher over farmers’ pattern. Farmers’ practice gave the lower gross return (Tk. 199790 ha-1). The mean marginal benefit cost ratio (MBCR) was found 2.23 which indicated the superiority of four crops pattern over the farmers’ existing pattern. The marginal benefit cost ratio (MBCR) analysis also showed that inclusion of mustard and T.Aus rice in the existing pattern might be profitable and acceptable to the farmers. Nutrient uptake and balance showed that considerable amounts of N, P, K and S were removed by crops every year. However, the N, K and S balances were found negative in all cases but P balance was found positive. From the above result showed that four crops can be grown successfully one after another in sequence of the tested pattern.SAARC J. Agri., 15(2): 103-112 (2017)

Potato is the third largest food crop in Bangladesh by tonnage of production. Its acreage and production are also increasing in day after day. This study was accomplished to examine the profitability and resource use efficiency of potato cultivation in five upazilas of Munshiganj district of Bangladesh. A total of 52 farmers were selected randomly from the study area. Data were collected through farm survey by using a suitable pre-tested questionnaire in February-March, 2016. Profitability analysis, Cobb-Douglas production function, MVP, MFC and Farm Budgeting model were used to analyze the objectives. Average gross return, gross margin and net return were found Tk. 3,47,200, Tk. 1,47,125 and Tk. 1,17,300, respectively. Benefit-cost ratio was found 1.51 and 1.74 on full cost and variable cost basis, respectively. The key production factors, i.e. human labour, land preparation, seed, fertilizer, insecticides and irrigations had significant effect on gross return of potato. Resource use efficiency analysis revealed that farmers were not efficient in using resources in potato cultivation. Human labor, land preparation, insecticide and irrigation were under-utilized and therefore increasing use of those resources could maximize the profitability. Seed and fertilizer constituted major parts of the cost of production hence optimum use of those resources could also enhance the profitability and resource use efficiency of potato cultivation in Munshiganj district.SAARC J.

Depletion of Arabidopsis ACYL-COA-BINDING PROTEIN3 Affects Fatty Acid Composition in the Phloem
Authors: Hu Tai-Hua , Lung Shiu-Cheung , Ye Zi-Wei , Chye Mee-Len
Published: January 2018

Oxylipins are crucial components in plant wound responses that are mobilised via the plant vasculature. Previous studies have shown that the overexpression of an Arabidopsis acyl-CoA-binding protein, AtACBP3, led to an accumulation of oxylipin-containing galactolipids, and AtACBP3pro::BETA-GLUCURONIDASE (GUS) was expressed in the phloem of transgenic Arabidopsis. To investigate the role of AtACBP3 in the phloem, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis of phloem exudates from the acbp3 mutant and wild type revealed that the AtACBP3 protein, but not its mRNA, was detected in the phloem sap. Furthermore, micrografting demonstrated that AtACBP3 expressed from the 35S promoter was translocated from shoot to root. Subsequently, AtACBP3 was localised to the companion cells, sieve elements and the apoplastic space of phloem tissue by immunogold electron microscopy using anti-AtACBP3 antibodies. AtACBP3pro::GUS was induced locally in Arabidopsis leaves upon wounding, and the expression of wound-responsive jasmonic acid marker genes (JASMONATE ZIM-DOMAIN10, VEGETATIVE STORAGE PROTEIN2, and LIPOXYGENASE2) increased more significantly in both locally wounded and systemic leaves of the wild type in comparison to acbp3 and AtACBP3-RNAi. Oxylipin-related fatty acid (FA) (C18:2-FA, C18:3-FA and methyl jasmonate) content was observed to be lower in acbp3 and AtACBP3-RNAi than wild-type phloem exudates using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Experiments using recombinant AtACBP3 in isothermal titration calorimetry analysis showed that medium- and long-chain acyl-CoA esters bind (His)6-AtACBP3 with KD values in the micromolar range. Taken together, these results suggest that AtACBP3 is likely to be a phloem-mobile protein that affects the FA pool and jasmonate content in the phloem, possibly by its binding to acyl-CoA esters.

Published: January 2018

During the 2015 China Victory Day parade control periods, the air quality in Beijing hit the best record, leading to 15 continuous good days with an average PM2.5 mass concentration 18 μg/m3, which provided a unique opportunity to study the ambient aerosols in megacity Beijing. The morphology and elemental composition of aerosol particles were investigated by transmission electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (TEM-EDX). Five types of individual particles were identified, including homogeneous mixed S-rich particles (HS; 44.9%), organic coated S-rich particles (CS; 34.3%), mineral particles (10.5%), soot aggregates (7.21%) and organic particles (3.2%). The number percentage of secondary particles (including HS and CS) accounted for a large proportion with 79.2% during the control periods. The average diameter of secondary particles increased with relative humidity (RH), being 323 nm, 358 nm and 397 nm at the RH 34%, 43% and 53%, respectively, suggesting that the high RH might favor the growth of secondary particles. The higher proportion of CS particles may show great atmospheric implications and the CS particles may be formed by the condensation of secondary organic aerosols on pre-existing S-rich particles.
High-Performance Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries with Graphite Felt Electrodes
Authors: Davies Trevor , Tummino Joseph
Published: January 2018

A key objective in the development of vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) is the improvement of cell power density. At present, most commercially available VRFBs use graphite felt electrodes under relatively low compression. This results in a large cell ohmic resistance and limits the maximum power density. To date, the best performing VRFBs have used carbon paper electrodes, with high active area compression pressures, similar to that used in fuel cells. This article investigates the use of felt electrodes at similar compression pressures. Single cells are assembled using compression pressures of 0.2–7.5 bar and tested in a VRFB system. The highest cell compression pressure, combined with a thin Nafion membrane, achieved a peak power density of 669 mW cm−2 at a flow rate of 3.2 mL min−1 per cm2 of active area, more than double the previous best performance from a felt-VRFB. The results suggest that felt electrodes can compete with paper electrodes in terms of performance when under similar compression pressures, which should help guide electrode development and cell optimization in this important energy storage technology.
