Evaluation of a Cubature Kalman Filtering-Based Phase Unwrapping Method for Differential Interferograms with High Noise in Coal Mining Areas
Authors: Liu Wanli , Bian Zhengfu , Liu Zhenguo , Zhang Qiuzhao
Published: July 2015

Differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar has been shown to be effective for monitoring subsidence in coal mining areas. Phase unwrapping can have a dramatic influence on the monitoring result. In this paper, a filtering-based phase unwrapping algorithm in combination with path-following is introduced to unwrap differential interferograms with high noise in mining areas. It can perform simultaneous noise filtering and phase unwrapping so that the pre-filtering steps can be omitted, thus usually retaining more details and improving the detectable deformation. For the method, the nonlinear measurement model of phase unwrapping is processed using a simplified Cubature Kalman filtering, which is an effective and efficient tool used in many nonlinear fields. Three case studies are designed to evaluate the performance of the method. In Case 1, two tests are designed to evaluate the performance of the method under different factors including the number of multi-looks and path-guiding indexes. The result demonstrates that the unwrapped results are sensitive to the number of multi-looks and that the Fisher Distance is the most suitable path-guiding index for our study. Two case studies are then designed to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed phase unwrapping method based on Cubature Kalman filtering. The results indicate that, compared with the popular Minimum Cost Flow method, the Cubature Kalman filtering-based phase unwrapping can achieve promising results without pre-filtering and is an appropriate method for coal mining areas with high noise.
Corn Stover Nutrient Removal Estimates for Central Iowa, USA
Authors: Karlen Douglas , Kovar John , Birrell Stuart
Published: July 2015

One of the most frequent producer-asked questions to those persons striving to secure sustainable corn (Zea mays L.) stover feedstock supplies for Iowa’s new bioenergy conversion or other bio-product facilities is “what quantity of nutrients will be removed if I harvest my stover?” Our objective is to summarize six years of field research from central Iowa, U.S.A. where more than 600, 1.5 m2 samples were collected by hand and divided into four plant fractions: vegetative material from the ear shank upward (top), vegetative material from approximately 10 cm above the soil surface to just below the ear (bottom), cobs, and grain. Another 400 stover samples, representing the vegetative material collected directly from a single-pass combine harvesting system or from stover bales were also collected and analyzed. All samples were dried, ground, and analyzed to determine C, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Al, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn concentrations. Mean concentration and dry matter estimates for each sample were used to calculate nutrient removal and estimate fertilizer replacement costs which averaged $25.06, $20.04, $16.62, $19.40, and $27.41 Mg−1 for top, bottom, cob, stover, and grain fractions, respectively. We then used the plant fraction estimates to compare various stover harvest scenarios and provide an answer to the producer question posed above.
Framing Processes in the Envisioning of Low-Carbon, Resilient Cities: Results from Two Visioning Exercises
Authors: McGrail Stephen , Gaziulusoy A. , Twomey Paul
Published: July 2015

Visioning exercises were convened in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, to explore how these cities could become low-carbon and maintain resilience over the next 25 years. Drawing on the concept of frames—in particular Schon and Rein’s conceptualisation of a frame as a “diagnostic-prescriptive story” that is based on an underlying structure of beliefs, perceptions and appreciation—this paper seeks to: Attend to the ways that workshop participants framed the problems (of emissions reduction and maintaining resilience); surface framing processes and potential related sources of political contention; and discuss the role of visioning exercises in sustainability transitions. Five frames are identified, along with the interpretive orientations underpinning each frame, framing processes and the potential for frame conflict and alignment. The study suggests that the designers and facilitators of visioning exercises need to be attentive to framing processes, potential framing contests, and related social processes during a visioning exercise. Key implications are identified, with a focus on whether an exercise seeks to “open up” a complex issue or to agree upon a singular, i.e., consensual, agenda.
Real Time MODBUS Transmissions and Cryptography Security Designs and Enhancements of Protocol Sensitive Information
Authors: Shahzad Aamir , Lee Malrey , Lee Young-Keun , Kim Suntae , Xiong Naixue , Choi Jae-Young , Cho Younghwa
Published: July 2015

Information technology (IT) security has become a major concern due to the growing demand for information and massive development of client/server applications for various types of applications running on modern IT infrastructure. How has security been taken into account and which paradigms are necessary to minimize security issues while increasing efficiency, reducing the influence on transmissions, ensuring protocol independency and achieving substantial performance? We have found cryptography to be an absolute security mechanism for client/server architectures, and in this study, a new security design was developed with the MODBUS protocol, which is considered to offer phenomenal performance for future development and enhancement of real IT infrastructure. This study is also considered to be a complete development because security is tested in almost all ways of MODBUS communication. The computed measurements are evaluated to validate the overall development, and the results indicate a substantial improvement in security that is differentiated from conventional methods.
Relevance of Viroporin Ion Channel Activity on Viral Replication and Pathogenesis
Authors: Nieto-Torres Jose , Verdiá-Báguena Carmina , Castaño-Rodriguez Carlos , Aguilella Vicente , Enjuanes Luis
Published: July 2015

Modification of host-cell ionic content is a significant issue for viruses, as several viral proteins displaying ion channel activity, named viroporins, have been identified. Viroporins interact with different cellular membranes and self-assemble forming ion conductive pores. In general, these channels display mild ion selectivity, and, eventually, membrane lipids play key structural and functional roles in the pore. Viroporins stimulate virus production through different mechanisms, and ion channel conductivity has been proved particularly relevant in several cases. Key stages of the viral cycle such as virus uncoating, transport and maturation are ion-influenced processes in many viral species. Besides boosting virus propagation, viroporins have also been associated with pathogenesis. Linking pathogenesis either to the ion conductivity or to other functions of viroporins has been elusive for a long time. This article summarizes novel pathways leading to disease stimulated by viroporin ion conduction, such as inflammasome driven immunopathology.
Les Œuvres complètes de Gogol sont-elles complètes ? Les instructions spirituelles de Gogol
Authors: Niqueux Michel
Published: July 2015

Are the complete Works of Gogol complete ? The spiritual instructions of Gogol.

The article reviews the various editions of the complete Works of Gogol, and proposes the translation of two spiritual instructions from 1843-1844 about anger, among which one is inspired by Saint Jean Climaque. They may explain the fact that Gogol did not send his answer to Bielinsky's famous letter of July 15th, 1847 and accused him of flattery and obscurantism.
Advances in the synthesis of functionalised pyrrolotetrathiafulvalenes

Published: July 2015

The electron-donor and unique redox properties of the tetrathiafulvalene (TTF, 1) moiety have led to diverse applications in many areas of chemistry. Monopyrrolotetrathiafulvalenes (MPTTFs, 4) and bispyrrolotetrathiafulvalenes (BPTTFs, 5) are useful structural motifs and have found widespread use in fields such as supramolecular chemistry and molecular electronics. Protocols enabling the synthesis of functionalised MPTTFs and BPTTFs are therefore of broad interest. Herein, we present the synthesis of a range of functionalised MPTTF and BPTTF species. Firstly, the large-scale preparation of the precursor species N-tosyl-(1,3)-dithiolo[4,5-c]pyrrole-2-one (6) is described, as well as the synthesis of the analogue N-tosyl-4,6-dimethyl-(1,3)-dithiolo[4,5-c]pyrrole-2-one (7). Thereafter, we show how 6 and 7 can be used to prepare BPTTFs using homocoupling reactions and functionalised MPTTFs using cross-coupling reactions with a variety of 1,3-dithiole-2-thiones (19). Subsequently, the incorporation of more complex functionality is discussed. We show how the 2-cyanoethyl protecting group can be used to afford MPTTFs functionalised with thioethers, exemplified by a series of ethylene glycol derivatives. Additionally, the merits of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) as an alternative to the most common deprotecting agent, CsOH·H2O are discussed. Finally, we show how a copper-mediated Ullman-type reaction can be applied to the N-arylation of MPTTFs and BPTTFs using a variety of aryl halides.

Alternative Building Material Using Industrial and Agricultural Wastes
Authors: Madhusudanan Swetha , Amirtham Lilly Rose
Published: July 2015

The conventional building material used in the construction industry in India is the burnt clay brick which has high embodied energy (1.4W/m K). It causes significant environmental hazards as it consumes considerable amount of top soil. Hence there is a need to produce environmentally responsive building materials for the construction of new buildings in order to meet the rapid urban growth. As an alternative, natural resources used in conventional building material can be replaced by industrial and agricultural wastes like fly ash, copper slag and phosphogypsum, slag to address and solve socio-economic problems such as employment, shortage of residential spaces while ensuring the economic feasibility. This paper thus attempts to identify an eco-friendly alternative building material by utilizing wastes from industrial & agricultural sites as partial substitutes of sand, cement or aggregates, thereby reducing continuous exploitation of these natural resources. . The properties of the alternative building wall materials are identified and compared with that of conventional bricks. Additionally the thermal conductivity of the proposed block is determined and compared with that of brick to provide a comfortable building environment for the end user.
The Effect of Natural Pozzolan on Sulfate Resisting Cement Exposed to Sodium Sulfate Attack for Attaining Sustainable Building Material
Authors: Chihaoui Ramdane , Khelafi Hamid , Mouli Mohamed
Published: July 2015

This paper investigates the sulfate resistance of blended cements produced by replacing 10, 20, and 30% of sulfate resisting cement (SRC) with Algerian natural pozzolan. Ordinary and blended cement mortar specimens were cast and immersed in a 5% sodium sulfate solution for 3 years. The sulfate resistance of mortars was evaluated by visual examination, compressive strength, mass change and diffraction (XRD), which was used to identify the degradation products formed by sulfate attack.The test results demonstrated that the sulfate resisting cement incorporating 10% of natural pozzolan was less susceptible to sulfate attack. In addition to improved performance, the results promise the production of a sustainable building material with environmental and economic benefits due to the reduced amount of overly-high-energy-consuming cement used and the potential reduction of the cost of sulfate resisting cement.
Physico-Mechanical Properties of Banana Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite as an Alternative Building Material
Authors: Das Himadri , Saikia Pallav , Kalita Dipul
Published: July 2015

Utilization of natural fiber as reinforcing material is the latest trend in polymer science to produce higher strength with lower weight composite materials having wide range of applications. As a natural fiber, banana fiber is getting importance in recent years in the reinforcement arena of polymer composite. Two species of banana viz Musa sapientum and Musa paradisica available in North East India were selected considering their higher fiber yield and adequate strength properties of the fibers. The chemical compositions, spectroscopic and thermal properties of these fibers were studied in order to study their suitability for commercial exploration. Low density polyethylene (LDPE)-banana fiber reinforced composites were prepared using hydraulic hot press. Physico-mechanical properties (e.g. tensile strength, flexural strength, elongation at break, Young's modulus) of the prepared composites were determined. The tensile strengths and flexural strengths of the composites increased while using LDPE 10 to 30 % of the fiber and then started to decrease gradually. Young moduli of the composites increased with the increase of fiber mass. Water absorption also increased accordingly with the increase of the fiber weight. The elongation at break decreased with increasing fiber quantity. The mechanical strength properties of chemically treated banana fiber-LDPE composites were slightly higher than the mechanically extracted fiber-LDPE composites. Structural analyses of the treated fibers were carried out by FTIR and XRD. These studied revealed due to the removal of noncellulosic constituents such as hemicelluloses and lignin the crystalline properties of the fibers were increased. All the properties of composite like tensile strength, flexural strength, water absorption capacity etc. plays a significant role in these polymer composite materials. Hence it can be concluded that banana fiber can be used as reinforced agent successfully in the composite industry as a sustainable building material.
A Parametric Study on Exterior Insulation Systems and Heat Reflective Paints for Energy Efficiency in Buildings
Authors: Ghosh Biman
Published: July 2015

Buildings are responsible for at least 40% of the used energy in most of the countries and the figure is rising as the construction booms. But pace of energy saving in building is much lower in India as compared to developed countries. So, there is an immediate need to open up new techniques to address the issue and also progress in the area of actual implementation should be accelerated immediately because both knowledge and techniques are available today to slash the energy usage in a building.Our focus is mainly on the modification of building envelope to reduce the energy used for cooling in A/C building and to reduce the temperature of the interior of non-A/C building.Berger has developed different systems such as EIFS for wall, Roof insulation and Heat reflecting paint for both wall & roof. The efficiency of these systems in terms of energy saving and cooling has been tested at Howrah and also has been tested by CBRI at Roorkee, through actual field study for two years. The test results revealed that the maximum energy saving of 32.33% can be achieved for A/C building. For non A/C building, maximum temperature difference of 6.4°C between outdoor and indoor air of the room can be achieved.

Published: July 2015

Every year, millions of cube meters are dredged from dams and restraints as an entertaining and prevention procedure all over the world. These dredged sediments are considered as natural waste leading to an environmental, ecological and even an economical problem in their processing and deposing.Nevertheless, in the context of the sustainable development policy, a way of management is opened aiming to the valorization of sediments as a building material and particularly as a new binder that can be industrially exploited and that improve the physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics of the concrete.This study is a part of the research works realized in the civil engineering department at the university of Mostaganem (Algeria), on the impact of the dredged mud of Fergoug dam on the behaviour of self-consolidating concrete in fresh and hardened state , such as the mechanical performance of SCC and its impact on the differed deformations (shrinkage). The work aims to valorize this mud in SCC and to show eventual interactions between constituents. The results obtained presents a good perspectives in order to perform SCC based in caclined mud.

Published: July 2015

This article deals with cement matrix for the textile reinforced concrete. It is necessary to know maximum of the mechanical properties of cement matrix for using textile reinforced concrete. The main topic of this article is to determine stress-strain diagrams at various age of the cement matrix. The compressive strength of the cement matrix was determined by using cube specimens (100 x 100 x 100 mm). The cement matrix, steel fibre reinforced cement matrix and ordinary concrete C 30/37 were tested at age 12 and 18 hours and 1, 7, 28 and 45 days. Cubes were tested in one-axial press. Loading of cubes was controlled by increase of deformation. Speed of loading was 0.008 mm/s. Time, load force and deformation were recorded for determination stress strain diagrams. The results of the experimental program and stress-strain diagrams were compared with each other in conclusion of this article.

Authors: Holčapek Ondřej , Reiterman Pavel , Konvalinka Petr
Published: July 2015

This contribution brings summary of refractory hydraulic binder issue. The refractory cement composites (or refractory concrete) represent very specific area of modern material engineering. We can find its use in special monolithic structures in industry, for fire-resistance brick, protection cladding, etc. The composition brings opportunity for using aluminous cement with different amount of Al2O3, according to temperature level. Hydration process and products together with the decomposition due high temperatures is described in this paper. Also the risk of conversion metastable hydration to stable one is described. The issue of possible bonds between filler and binder is shown (hydraulic, ceramic and chemical). Paper also describes values of fracture energy of aluminous cement pastes with various water to cement ratio after temperature loading.

Authors: Čáchová Monika , Vejmelková Eva , Keppert Martin , Fiala Lukáš
Published: July 2015

Recycled finely crushed brick appears to be a suitable additive to lime or cement binder in render mixtures. This waste material indicates good pozzolanic properties and actively takes part in formation of chemical bonds in materials structure. The main objective of this paper is to find an appropriate ratio of waste crushed brick that is used as a replacement of other constituents represented by lime hydrate and silica sand. Besides it aims to find out a perspective utilization of such a waste material. Finely crushed brick originates from the production of thermal insulating brick blocks which is ecologically and economically advantageous. In this work, results of measured material parameters of render mixtures with different replacement ratios of binder (lime hydrate) and simultaneously filler (silica sand) by finely crushed brick are presented. Among the studied parameters basic physical properties (measured by water vacuum saturation method and by helium pycnometry), characterization of pore system (by mercury porosimetry) and thermal characteristics are presented.

Published: July 2015

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) are a diverse group of blood cancers derived from lymphocytes that vary significantly in their severity. Surgery is not often used as a treatment because of the efficacy of chemotherapy, biological therapy, radiotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We reviewed the natural history and possible role of surgery for NHL. Surgery may be useful in confirming or refuting an equivocal radiological diagnosis through biopsy, removing symptomatic limited disease from an affected organ and in splenectomy for primary splenic lymphoma. Emergency abdominal surgery for acute complications of NHL provides palliation and diagnosis. There is as yet no consensus as to the optimum treatment for symptomatic limited disease affecting an organ and timing of chemotherapy perioperatively. Prospective randomized trials are required.

Anomalous vascular bundle sheath structure in Alloteropsis semialata leaf blades
Authors: Ellis R. P.
Published: July 2015

Alloteropsis semialata (R.Br.) Hitchc. of the Paniceae, would be expected to exhibit typical eupanicoid leaf anatomy with a single bundle sheath of large parenchymatous cells with specialized chloroplasts and radially-arranged chlorenchyma. Specimens from South Africa showed the following bundle-sheath and mesophyll deviations from the generalized panicoid model: 1. bundle sheath is double; 2. inner bundle sheath is composed of large cells with specialized chloroplasts; 3. outer sheath consists of many smaller cells with few, or without chloroplasts; 4. outline of the third- order bundles is tall and narrow; 5. chlorenchyma is not radially arranged. Other specimens of A. semialata, however, were found to have a large-celled outer bundle sheath devoid of chloroplasts and with indistinctly radiate chlorenchyma.
