»Wie ein Begehren«
Authors: Musil Bartolo
Published: September 2018

Sprache und Musik begegnen einander im singenden Körper. Besonders eng verwoben sind sie in Kunstlied und mélodie um 1900: Dies bildet den Ausgangspunkt für eine Systematik von beispielhaften Stimmgebungen zwischen Sprechen und Singen, die einen Bogen von der Theaterdeklamation bis hin zur Vokalise spannen. Bartolo Musil zeigt, wie Komposition und Interpretation, Gesangstechnik und Hermeneutik, Sprachgestaltung und musikalische Phrasierung dabei in einen Dialog eintreten, und erzählt das schillernde und prekäre Miteinander von Wort und Ton in gesungener Kunstmusik neu - als Liebesgeschichte zwischen Hingabe, Verschmelzung, lustvoller Differenz, Abstoßung und Selbstbehauptung.
The Logic of Design Process
Authors: da Costa e Silva Tiago
Published: September 2018

What is the logic of design process? Departing from this question, Tiago da Costa e Silva investigates the characteristic feature of every projective activity, for instance, in architecture, design, engineering design, and in the arts. In opposition to predominant views that understand design processes as mechanical and deterministic, this study, with the help of the semiotics of Charles S. Peirce, characterizes design activities as continuous and serendipitous interplays of esthetic and abductive processes that define rules and manifest forms. Tiago da Costa e Silva concludes that invention and discovery, manifested in the form of processes of abduction, actively pervade every development in any given context of design process.
Clownsmasken im Film
Authors: Augustin Yvonne
Published: September 2018

Nur im Kino lässt sich der intime und magische Moment der Verwandlung einer Figur in einen Clown beobachten. Warum findet sich eine solche Maskierungsszene immer wieder in Filmen, selten jedoch im Theater oder Zirkus? Dass dies kein Zufall ist, macht Yvonne Augustin anhand detaillierter Filmanalysen unterschiedlicher Regionen und Epochen deutlich. Dabei zeigt sich, dass genau in dem Augenblick der Clown-Werdung gesellschaftliche Masken fallen und kulturelle Ängste sowie soziale Konflikte demaskiert werden. Eine Vielzahl von Beispielen aus der älteren und jüngeren Filmgeschichte macht die Lektüre zu einem Streifzug durch die bunte, wenn auch nicht immer fröhliche Welt filmischer Clowns-Figuren und ihrer Masken.
Ästhetisierung
Authors: Drügh Heinz
Published: September 2018

Ist Kreativität im ästhetischen Kapitalismus vollends in dem von Andreas Reckwitz beschriebenen Dispositiv gefangen? Oder gebiert die Ästhetisierung der Lebenswelt möglicherweise Kategorien, die stärker zur ästhetischen Auseinandersetzung und Diskussion reizen als die immergleichen Begriffe des »Schönen« und des »Erhabenen«?

Producing meaningful television programs is a demanding task when the business is shifting. This article examines the multiple decisions in the creation of a new format. The case describes the launch of a new business program by the Swiss public television company. The former editor-in-chief talks about the need to drastically reduce the visual concept in order to illustrate highly complex matters. He looks at the limits of what's visible, stresses the necessity to leave the standard route in business journalism in order to see the bigger picture, and he describes the need to take a stance. With the powerful forces transforming the industry journalists must not forget their traditional strengths, the things they do best - telling true stories that matter.
Frankenstein's Legacy: Discursive Thinking in the Economic Paradigm
Authors: Loren Scott
Published: September 2018

Framing reflexive modernity as a fundamentally economic paradigm characterized, Loren provides a reading of three conjunctural stories that are representative of key transitional moments. He provides a heuristic for rethinking the limits of knowledge and the critical role discursive cognition throughout modernity. For its first iteration, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) presents the conjuncture of industrialization technologies and institutional unrest. Next, Alan Turing's »Computing Machinery and Intelligence« (1950) represents the conjunctural moment of cold war intelligence and post-imperial capitalism. The third scene is from Google's corporate rebranding (2015) as hailing the onset of a language-cognition driven »A.I. awakening« (Lewis-Kraus 2016). In seeking to make intelligible a counter-memory inscribed in these scenes of technosocial transition, his intention is to historicize cognitive and representational economies in our present moment.
History's Queer Stories
Authors: Nobitz Natalie Marena
Published: September 2018

Critical analysis of the dramatisation of homosexuality in British fiction about the Second World War is noticeable only by its relative absence from the field. Whereas feminist literary criticism has broadened the canon of war fiction to include narratives by and about women, queer scholars have seldom focused on literary representations of homosexuality during the war. Natalie Marena Nobitz closes a glaring gap in the critical attention of four novels dealing with the disruption of gender roles and institutionalised heteronormativity: Walter Baxter's Look Down in Mercy (1951), Mary Renault's The Charioteer (1953), Sarah Waters' The Night Watch (2006) and Adam Fitzroy's Make Do and Mend (2012).
Die Entfremdung des Subjekts
Authors: Wollenhaupt Jonas
Published: September 2018

Entfremdung als Topos durchwandert die gesamte Geschichte der Philosophie. In den späten sechziger Jahren rückte besonders die Entfremdungstheorie von Karl Marx in den Fokus, bevor sie ab den achtziger Jahren vorübergehend verschwand. Doch Anfang der 2000er-Jahre kehrte der Begriff wieder zurück. Jonas Wollenhaupt macht mit einer theoretischen Verbindung von Alfred Lorenzer und Pierre Bourdieu Entfremdung nun in der Tiefe des Subjekts greifbar und ermöglicht zugleich seine soziologische Rekonstruktion. Mit diesem kreativen Ansatz wird auch ein neuer sozialpsychologischer Zugang zu Begriffen wie Aneignung und Identität möglich.
Tanzmusik in der DDR
Authors: Bretschneider Simon
Published: September 2018

In der frühen DDR changierte Tanz- und Unterhaltungsmusik zwischen Schlager, Swing und Rock 'n' Roll. Gleichzeitig verfolgten Partei und Staat die kulturpolitische Strategie, internationalen Musiktrends eine sozialistische, nationale Alternative gegenüberzustellen. Simon Bretschneider analysiert sowohl die bürgerliche Prägung und permanente Westorientierung dieses Diskurses wie auch die Versuche der Musikkapellen und Fans, die staatlich gesetzten Zwänge zu boykottieren. Am Beispiel der Stadt Dresden zeigt er, was für den gesamten Osten Deutschlands in den 1950ern zutreffen dürfte: Gegen den internationalen Musikmarkt hatte auch diktatorische Politik keine Chance.

This paper aims to investigate the short and long run behavior of ownership structure, capital structure and Indonesian Stock Price over the period from 2007 to 2016. To capture the long run relationships, we used the panel cointegration by Pedroni (1999, 2000, 2004), while the short run relationship are measured by Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The main findings are as follows. First, the result of most results of Pedroni’s panel cointegration tests, suggest the null hypothesis of no cointegration is rejected. In consequence, this result suggests that there is a cointegration between stock price, managerial ownership, institutional ownership, public ownership, debt to equity ratio and earnings per share. Second, the results of VECM indicate that in the short run, only managerial ownership that will influence the stock price.

Published: September 2018

This paper conveys the findings on hotel buildings evaluation in the peri-urban of Semarang based on ex-ante evaluation. Ex-ante is an evaluation model before project activities are implemented to minimize development impacts. Evaluation of altitude was done with three models, namely the ratio of floor area (FAR), Angle of Light Obstruction (ALO), and building height calculation in the airport area applicable in Indonesia. Furthermore, the evaluation of the strategic value of the location with three criteria was the proximity of industrial zone, accessibility, and proximity to tourist destinations. This study was successfully answers the question of maximal height rules and the number of stories allowed for hotel buildings in peri-urban Semarang. The result suggest the regulation of building height in Kaliwungu especially for hotel building in aviation safety area. Maximum height allowed is 32.5 m or 8 stories. The existing regulations have not regulated these issues, so collaborative planning should be carried out between the government of Semarang City and Kendal Regency. With collaborative planning, problems in both regions, especially regarding the height of buildings such as hotels can be coordinated.
Application of Adaptive Structure based on Natural Inspiration on Biomimicry Architecture
Authors: Chairiyah Riri , Sarwadi Ahmad
Published: September 2018

Today the advancement of technology and human science has developed rapidly. These developments give a number of technological innovations that were used to solve and facilitate human life. One of the advances in technological innovation is the development of buildings that are designed and established using modern technology. However, the development of these advances, especially man-made buildings, on the contrary, also have a lot of adverse effects on the environment in which humans live. These adverse impacts cause environmental degradation to result in the extinction of a number of natural species around human habitation. These problems are mostly sourced from people who lack environmental awareness. A number of experts to scientists, especially those in charge of development problems, began to look for ways to reduce these adverse impacts. One way that is done especially by architects is to study the process of natural adaptation with its environment which is included in the Biomimicry Architecture. The adaptation process carried out by nature is reflected in how forms, processes and systems that nature uses to respond to its environment. The inspiration was then applied by the architect into the building. Architects in terms of building design must pay attention to three important aspects that exist in the building design process, namely aesthetics, function and strength. However, the aspect of power design in the discussion of biomimicry architecture has a smaller portion than aesthetics and function. While the need for building strength innovations in this regard is very necessary in the building structure against the background of the lack of innovative and environmentally friendly structural design aspects. Based on this problem, this study then used content analysis method with qualitative inductive type. The study was conducted by analyzing written information data that discussed the case of selected buildings, namely The Eden Project Building, The Gherkin Tower and The Eastgate Center. The results of the research are descriptive explanations related to how the adaptive principles applied by the architect into the building use natural inspiration. The benefits of this research are expected to provide an illustration for architects to design buildings that are adaptive to the environment, especially from structural systems and can expand the science of Biomimicry Architecture.
ANALYSIS GLOBAL BUSINESS CYCLE AND FISCAL RISKS : An Empirical Study of ASEAN-5
Authors: Aulia Sarah , Kurnia Akhmad Syakir
Published: September 2018

This thesis aims to analyze global business cycle and fiscal risk in ASEAN-5 which is expected to be explained by several explanatory variables including primary balance/GDP, oil price, economic growth, output gap, and LIBOR interest rate. More spesifically, this thesis focus on the effect of oil price with Debt/GDP is a benchmark of  fiscal risk. This research used panel data of ASEAN-5 period 2000-2014. Prior to conducting the analysis, this study looked at the correlation coefficients between the cycle components (output gap) and the primary balance per GDP to identify the fiscal policy character in each country. The cycle component is calculated by using the difference between original series and trend components using Hodrick Prescott Filter. The fiscal policy characteristics of Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillipines, and Thailand apply procyclical policies while singapore implements countercyclical fiscal policy. The results of the analysis conducted using the fixed effect method show the global business cycle and world oil price fluctuations affect the fiscal risks. The results of this study indicate when the business cycle in a state of booming domestic governments tend to increase government spending and create fiscal risks. Meanwhile, the LIBOR and Primary Balance rate per GDP which is a variable derivative of the fiscal suistanability concept has an effect on fiscal risk. However, economic growth has no effect because the current debt is the tax burden in the future.

THE SYMBOL OF LIFE BASED ON WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS’S POEM, "SPRING AND ALL" THROUGH STILISTIC VIEW
Authors: Jumino Jumino
Published: September 2018

"Spring and All" poem talks about life around us as a simple daily experience, describing the turn of the winter to the coming of the next season, spring. Human life is always changing. Not always happy, symbolized by winter but also not forever suffering, symbolized by spring. Natural suffering is usually a test to achieve happiness. Williams changes his choice of words between two parts of the poem to give the reader a different feeling in the poem that provides a contrast to the ideas of life and death. Through "Spring and All", Williams wants to show the reader how the ideas of life and death can be seen through the transition from winter to spring. He uses dreary imagery (winter) to show sorrow and death, then uses imagery (spring) to live life and hope. Thus, if people think positively, there will be opportunities to improve in the future.
IMPOLITENESS IN INDONESIAN TELEVISON SERIES: A CASE STUDY OF VERBAL ABUSE IN ANAK LANGIT TV SERIES
Authors: Savitri Ida Ayu , Tiani Riris
Published: September 2018

Anak Langit is an Indonesian sinema elektronik (sinetron) or electronic cinema, a kind of tv series, for teenagers since most of the main characters are teenagers. Young viewers love this tv series as it tells us about the life of a motor gang in a big city which becoming a trend recently in several big cities in Indonesia. Although the main characters show the viewers how to be a good motor gang with positive attitude, we consider the language of this TV series is impolite as the rival of this motor gang often shows verbal abuse in most of their scenes using Bahasa Indonesia dialect  Betawi (the language of Betawi people, the people of Betawi Kampong in Jakarta). Those impolite utterances may be used to show the real life, including the colloquial language, of Jakarta/Betawi people which sometimes considered impolite by common people. It may be also done to strengthen the characteristics of the antagonist ones who are impolite and rude. In Pragmatics Study, impoliteness violates the Maxims of Politeness Principles. This violation can be seen as electronic media violence that may influence viewers to imitate the verbal abuse such as using the impolite utterance or doing the violence. In the end, it may leads into violence and less pro-social behaviour
Spiritual Pregnancy in Plato’s Theaetetus
Authors: Futter Dylan B.
Published: September 2018

Socrates’ midwife metaphor in Theaetetus depends logically on the concept of male spiritual pregnancy. Male spiritual pregnancy is typically understood as a process in which a young man develops in his mind a theory or idea; a spiritual child is, on this view, a theory; and spiritual childbirth is the painful movement of a developed theory from the mind into the speech-world. Although this account of spiritual pregnancy and maieutics is widely accepted in the scholarship, it cannot be upheld. The intelligibility of Socrates’ midwife metaphor requires the recognition of two different kinds of pregnancy, the false and the true. The first and false kind is roughly as the standard interpretation says that it is: a theory germinating in the mind; but Theaetetus’s true spiritual child is not a theory of knowledge—it is wisdom in his soul; true spiritual pregnancy is the actualisation of the soul’s potential for wisdom.

Published: September 2018

The structure of amyloid Aβ(1-41) is the object of many papers due to the neurodegenerative processes induced by this amyloid. One of the ways to investigate the possible structural forms other than the amyloid is to incorporate the fragment of this peptide into the chain of immunoglobulin. Fragment Aβ(18-41) presented within the CDR3 loop region of a shark immunoglobulin new antigen receptor single-variable domain antibody is the object of this analysis. The structure of this hybrid is available in the PDB and analyzed based on the fuzzy oil drop model. The aim is to define the status of this fragment, revealing the possible fitting to the ordered form of the hydrophobic core. Simultaneously, the verification of the predisposition to complexation is possible.
Intraoperative mapping of the sensory cortex by time-resolved thermal imaging
Authors: Hoffmann Nico , Radev Yordan , Koch Edmund , Petersohn Uwe , Steiner Gerald , Kirsch Matthias
Published: September 2018

The resection of brain tumor requires a precise distinction between eloquent areas of the brain and pathological tumor tissue in order to improve the extent of resection as well as the patient’s progression free survival time. In this study, we discuss mathematical tools necessary to recognize neural activity using thermal imaging cameras. The main contribution to thermal radiation of the exposed human cortex is regional cerebral blood flow (CBF). In fact, neurovascular coupling links neural activity to changes in regional CBF which in turn affects the cortical temperature. We propose a statistically sound framework to visualize neural activity of the primary somatosensory cortex. The framework incorporates a priori known experimental conditions such as the thermal response to neural activity as well as unrelated effects induced by random neural activity and autoregulation. These experimental conditions can be adopted to certain electrical stimulation protocols so that the framework allows to unveil arbitrary evoked neural activity. The method was applied to semisynthetic as well as two intraoperative cases with promising results as we were able to map the eloquent sensory cortex with high sensitivity. Furthermore, the results were validated by anatomical localization and electrophysiological measurements.
The rational specimen for the quantitative detection of Epstein-Barr virus DNA load
Authors: Kedi Wang , Dongjiang Xu , Zhi Lv , Yan Gao , Kun Jia , Jianrong Su
Published: September 2018

Background

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA load monitoring in blood is essential for the diagnosis of EBV-associated diseases. However, the best-suited blood compartment for detection is still under discussion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of EBV-DNA load in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), plasma and whole blood (WB) samples.

Methods

A total of 156 patients, including 45 patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM), 57 patients with EBV-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and 54 patients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD), were enrolled in this study. The EBV-DNA load in PBMC, plasma and WB samples were measured with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Results

EBV-DNA load of patients with HLH showed no statistical difference in PBMC, plasma and WB samples, while patients with IM and PTLD showed a higher viral load in PBMC samples. The strongest correlation of EBV-DNA level was found between PBMC and WB samples among patients with IM, HLH and PTLD. The follow-up of EBV-DNA showed that the viral load became negative along with the recovery from the disease, while that in WB and PBMC would remain positive for a long time.

Conclusions

For the diagnosis and monitoring of EBV-DNA, the type of specimen should be chosen reasonably according to the disease. As for IM and HLH, plasma is recommended to quantify the EBV-DNA load, while PBMC and plasma are preferred in PTLD.
Diabetes alert dogs: a narrative critical overview
Authors: Lippi Giuseppe , Plebani Mario
Published: September 2018

Owing to their virtually incomparable olfactory apparatus and the mutual loving relationship with man, the use of dogs for assisting humans in many activities has become commonplace. Dogs have been used for long for livestock herding, hunting and pulling. More recently, they have been employed for servicing or assisting people with disabilities, for rescuing, for pet therapy and, last but not least, for detecting a vast array of volatile organic compounds related to drugs, narcotics, explosives and foods. Although cancer detection seems the most distinguished use of “man’s best friends” in science and medicine, increasing emphasis is being placed on their capacity to perceive chemical changes or human expressions associated with harmful, even life-threating, blood glucose variations. The evidence available in the current scientific literature attests that diabetes alerting dogs (DADs) have a heterogeneous efficiency for warning owners of episodes of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, with sensitivities and specificities ranging between 0.29–0.80 and 0.49–0.96, respectively. Although the adoption of DADs seems effective for improving the quality of life of many diabetics patients, some important drawbacks can be highlighted. These typically include adoption and keeping expenditures, lack of certification or accreditation of dog providers, poor harmonization of training procedures, significant inter-breed, intra-breed and intra-dog variabilities, wide-ranging alert behaviors, ability of owners to identify dog’s alerts, as well as lack of quality assessment of a dog’s “diagnostic” performance. Overcoming many of these limitations shall probably make DADs more efficient tools for improving diabetes management.

Within the Public-Private Divide. Right to Housing and Consumer Law in Recent European Private Law Trends
Authors: Albanese Rocco Alessio
Published: September 2018

This paper intends to discuss some major European legal issues by building on the critique of a certain narrow relevance of human basic needs, according to traditional Western legal conceptions of the subject as well as of the public-private divide. In particular it aims at verifying the potentiality of consumer law for rethinking the right to housing, within recent trends of European Private Law, by adopting a remedial approach. For this reason the paper analyzes three well-known cases decided by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) – namely Aziz, Sanchez Morcillo and Kušionová – as examples of this meaningful trend. Through the combination of the fairness test over contractual terms with the criteria of effectiveness and proportionality, a broader protection of right to housing is recognised even in horizontal private relationships. Art. 7 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (CFREU) could represent the constitutional reference for this new perspective. The paper also intends to show how the relevance of the basic need for housing is traced to debtor's families. CJEU's interpretative itinerary seems to start from a fairness test about contractual terms, but eventually comes to give protection to subjective situations that are even out of the domain of the contract.
Language teacher identity construction: Insights from non-native Chinese-speaking teachers in a Danish higher educational context
Authors: Zhang Chun , Zhang Ying
Published: September 2018

This qualitative study concerns foreign language teacher identity construction, where the focal participants are four non-native Chinese-speaking teachers (NNCSTs) working in a higher educational context in Denmark. The study aims to go beyond the current prevailing research on native speaking (NS) teachers by making NNCSTs’ challenges and contributions visible and meaningful. It attempts to raise awareness of NNCSTs’ voices and seek better understanding of their identities as foreign language teachers. Data are gathered from in-depth questionnaires, audio-recorded interviews, classroom observations and field notes over a period of four years. Participants’ perceptions of native Chinese-speaking teachers’ (NCSTs) pedagogical practices and their critical reflections on personal and professional traits as effective language teachers are examined. The roles of non-nativeness in a non-Chinese working environment are also explored. The study concludes that being a NNCST does not create barriers in a local Danish context. Rather, non-native speaker status has positive advantages over teacher-student relationships and interactions. NNSCTs’ beneficial personality traits, comparatively high sensitivity to linguistic and cultural differences, empathetic understanding of students’ learning trajectory, along with their constant and conscious development of locally appropriate practices, altogether enhance the process of professional identity construction.
Language use difference and social group differentiation: Immigrants’ negotiation of an imposed category oflauin bilingual Guangzhou
Authors: Huang Jing
Published: September 2018

This study is situated in a bilingual community of Guangzhou where the local speech Cantonese used to have comparable power to the Chinese common language Putonghua regarding the range of domains, but recently a local concern has emerged over the declining status of Cantonese in association with the large number of immigrants and the vigorous implementation of the state language policy of Putonghua Promotion. This concern has been demonstrated in Guangzhou locals’ boundary-making practices and the categorization of immigrants in relation to language practices. This study aims to investigate the ways in which immigrants take up stances (Du Bois 2007; Alexandra, Jaffe. (ed.). 2009.Stance: Sociolinguistic Perspectives. Oxford: Oxford University Press.) to negotiate their identities in response to an imposed category oflau. Immigrants’ narratives of and comments on language use in their interactions with natives are analysed, at both semantic and formal levels, from a perspective of Critical Discourse Studies (e.g. Martin, Reisigl & Ruth Wodak. 2015. In Ruth Wodak & Michael Meyer (eds.).Methods of critical discourse studies, 3rd edn. 23–61. London: Sage, Fairclough, Norman. 2015.Language and power3rd edn. London: Routledge.). As the analysis shows, immigrants negotiate the imposed identity category through coming to terms with the underlying language beliefs, negatively evaluating the social actors who categorize them, recontextualising the category, and combining Putonghua and Cantonese in one language unit to indicate the symbolic oppositions between social groups and languages.
Enhancement of molecular weight reduction of natural rubber in triphasic CO2/toluene/H2O systems with hydrogen peroxide for preparation of biobased polyurethanes

Published: September 2018

Molecular weight reduction of natural rubber (NR) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) oxidizing agent is limited in biphasic water-toluene systems that is attributed to mass transfer. In this work, CO2was applied to the (aqueous H2O2)-(toluene-NR) systems with the objective of improving reaction efficiency. Experiments were performed on the reaction system with CO2at 12 MPa and at reaction temperatures and times of 60°C–80°C and 1 h–10 h to evaluate the reaction kinetics. CO2could enhance the NR molecular weight reduction by lowering the activation energy (from 121 kJ·mol−1to 38 kJ·mol−1). The role of CO2in the reaction system seems to be the formation of oxidative peroxycarbonic acid intermediate and promotion of mass transport due to the reduction in the toluene-NR viscosity and interfacial tension. The epoxidized liquid NRs (M̅n=4.9×103g·mol−1) obtained from NR molecular weight reduction was further processed to prepare hydroxyl telechelic NR (M̅n=1.0×103g·mol−1) and biobased polyurethane.
Effect of Cl on Softening and Melting Behaviors of BF Burden
Authors: Lan Chenchen , Lyu Qing , Liu XiaoJie , Qie Yana , Zhang Shuhui
Published: September 2018

The high-temperature simulation tests of softening and melting zone under different w(Cl-) were carried out, and based on the density functional theory, the influence mechanisms of chlorine on softening and melting behaviors of BF burden were analyzed. The results show that with the increase of w(Cl-) which bring in by sinter, the softening start temperature and softening end temperature of BF increase, and the softening temperature range becomes small, the melting start temperature increases, the dropping temperature decreases, the melting temperature range becomes small too. The softening and melting zone of BF narrows. With the increase of w(Cl-), the maximum pressure difference and the comprehensive permeability index both decrease, the permeability of the softening and melting zone enhances. The main reason for the increase of permeability is that the chlorine atom makes the Fe-O bond length increase, the stability of the structure is destroyed, the adsorption capacity of CO molecule on FeO surface is promoted, the reducing speed of FeO increases. Although chlorine can effectively reduce the reduction degradation of sinter in the BF and improve the permeability of the softening and melting zone, the metallurgical enterprises should still eliminate or reduce the chlorine element into the BF.
Influence of Pressure on Fundamental Characteristics in Gas Fluidized Beds of Coarse Particle

Published: September 2018

Experiments were conducted to investigate fluidization fundamentals of coarse particle using nitrogen as the fluidizing gas at high pressure. The particle under study was falling in Geldart’s group B/D. A 60-mm-dia. cylindrical Perspex model, a two-dimensional jetting fluidized bed, a 200-mm-semicircular jetting fluidized bed and a 200-mm-dia. cylindrical bed were used in the experiments. The fundamentals of high pressure fluidization examined in this study include minimum fluidization velocity and bed expansion. Empirical correlations were developed for determining minimum fluidization velocity and bed expansion. With the same excess fluidizing-gas velocity, bed expansion generally increases with the operating pressure, but the influence of pressure on bed expansion becomes weaker at higher pressure.

Evaluating a Nonprofit Health Index as a Policy Tool
Authors: Kushner Roland J.
Published: September 2018

This paper examines possible ways to reduce and synthesize information regarding the health of the U.S. nonprofit sector, exploring how a national “Nonprofit Health Index” might inform policymakers and the public by illuminating key indications of the continuing sustainability of the sector. The paper draws on the experiences of producing the National Arts Index. The paper examines the overall construct of nonprofit health, suggests an impact model based on the Balanced Scorecard, and explores the appropriate level of analysis. The challenges in resolving the nature of the nonprofit health construct make a national index impractical, but policy indexes targeted at locales and industries are more likely to benefit policymakers and inform the public.
