Formation of Collections of Early Printed Books in Museums and Libraries: What Does “Acquisition Data” Say?
Authors: Bogdanov Vladimir P.
Published: December 2018

The article is devoted to the history of acquisition of the municipal and state repositories with early printed Cyrillic monuments in the 19th — 21st centuries. The aim of the research is to show the process of acquisition of the collections of state museums, archives and libraries of Russia. The author uses descriptions of the books from the catalogues published with the participation or under the guidance of experts in archaeography of the Moscow State University (MSU) named after M.V. Lomonosov. They cover the collections of the MSU Scientific Library, as well as the collections of museums, archives and libraries of Tver, Yaroslavl and Perm Regions, as well as the State Historical, Architectural and Ethnographic Museum-Reserve “Kizhi”.

As a total there are involved 3953 descriptions containing information about the date and source of acquisition of the books to the repositories. The author concluded that archaeographic expeditions made a great contribution to the replenishment of the collections of the early printed Cyrillic monuments (860 books), but this contribution was not decisive. The most part of the unique monuments got into repositories as private donations or were purchased in old book shops, or during the expropriation of Church valuables. Only in the 1920s there were obtained 1068 books from the Church libraries.

Significant event in the life of repositories in the twentieth century was more or less permanent redistribution of stocks between the major collections. The most part of the early printed Cyrillic books (almost half of them already introduced into scientific discourse), preserved now in the Scientific Library of the Moscow State University, was obtained not in the course of expeditionary work, but as a result of transfer of the books from the V.I. Lenin State Library of the USSR, the State Public Historical Library of Russia, the State Historical Museum and the Moscow Kremlin Museums.
A Generally Applicable Atomic-Charge Dependent London Dispersion Correction Scheme
Authors: Caldeweyher Eike , Ehlert Sebastian , Hansen Andreas , Neugebauer Hagen , Spicher Sebastian , Bannwarth Christoph , Grimme Stefan
Published: December 2018

The so-called D4 model is presented for the accurate computation of London dispersion interactions in density functional theory approximations (DFT-D4) and generally for atomistic modelling methods. In this successor to the DFT-D3 model, the atomic coordination-dependent dipole polarizabilities are scaled based on atomic partial charges which can be taken from various sources. For this purpose, a new charge-dependent parameter-economic scaling function is designed. Classical charges are obtained from an atomic electronegativity equilibration procedure for which efficient analytical derivatives with respect to nuclear positions are developed. A numerical Casimir-Polder integration of the atom-in-molecule dynamic polarizabilities then yields charge- and geometry-dependent dipole-dipole dispersion coefficients. Similar to the D3 model, the dynamic polarizabilities are pre-computed by time-dependent DFT and all elements up to radon (Z = 86) are covered. The two-body dispersion energy expression has the usual sum-over-atom-pairs form and includes dipole-dipole, as well as dipole-quadrupole interactions. For a benchmark set of 1225 molecular dipole-dipole dispersion coefficients, the D4 model achieves an unprecedented accuracy with a mean relative deviation of 3.9% compared to 4.7% for D3. In addition to the two-body part, three-body effects are described by an Axilrod-Teller-Muto term. A common many-body dispersion expansion was extensively tested and an energy correction based on D4 polarizabilities is found to be advantageous for larger systems. Becke-Johnson-type damping parameters for DFT-D4 are determined for more than 60 common density functionals. For various standard energy benchmark sets DFT-D4 slightly but consistently outperforms DFT-D3. Especially for metal containing systems, the introduced charge dependence of the dispersion coefficients improves thermochemical properties. We suggest (DFT-)D4 as a physically improved and more sophisticated dispersion model in place of DFT-D3 for DFT calculations as well as other low-cost approaches like force-fields or semi-empirical models.
Lutero e a crítica teológica à definição filosófica tradicional do homem: uma leitura das três primeiras teses da “Disputatio de Homine” (1536)
Authors: Fernandes Marcos Aurélio
Published: December 2018

Este artigo pretende expor e comentar a crítica teológica à definição filosófica do homem nas três primeiras teses da “Disputatio de homine” (1536). De início, apresenta a proveniência histórica da definição do homem como “animal racional”. Depois, indica a sua assunção na tradição teológica cristã. Em terceiro lugar, aponta que esta definição estava também subjacente à concepção a respeito do homem no Renascimento. Em seguida se expõem e se comentam as três primeiras teses da “disputatio”. A tese 1 apresenta o modo como a filosofia define o homem. Ao seu fundo está o horizonte da “Árvore de Porfírio” e o problema da pluralidade das formas. A tese 2 alude, negativamente, à questão da animalidade do homem. A tese 3 ressalta a sua mortalidade e toca a questão da imortalidade da alma.
Audio Sentiment Analysis by Heterogeneous Signal Features Learned from Utterance-Based Parallel Neural Network
Authors: Luo Ziqian , Xu Hua , Chen Feiyang
Published: December 2018

Audio Sentiment Analysis is a popular research area which extends the text-based sentiment analysis to depend on effectiveness of acoustic features extracted from speech. However, current progress on audio sentiment analysis mainly focuses on extracting homogeneous acoustic features or doesn't fuse heterogeneous features effectively. In this paper, we propose an utterance-based deep neural network model, which has a parallel combination of CNN and LSTM based network, to obtain representative features termed Audio Sentiment Vector (ASV), that can maximally reflect sentiment information in an audio. Specifically, our model is trained by utterance-level labels and ASV can be extracted and fused creatively from two branches. In the CNN model branch, spectrum graphs produced by signals are fed as inputs while in the LSTM model branch, inputs include spectral centroid, MFCC and other recognized traditional acoustic features extracted from dependent utterances in an audio. Besides, BiLSTM with attention mechanism is used for feature fusion. Extensive experiments have been conducted to show our model can recognize audio sentiment precisely, and demonstrate our ASV are better than traditional acoustic features or vectors extracted from other deep learning models. Furthermore, experimental results indicate that the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art approaches by 9.33% on MOSI.

Published: December 2018

El haba es un cultivo de gran importancia social y económica en los Valles Altos de la Mesa Central de México, teniendo como destino final el consumo humano y animal. A pesar de su importancia, los rendimientos de grano son bajos, siendo la inadecuada fertilización una de las razones. La presente investigación se realizó con el propósito de determinar el efecto de la fertilización órgano-mineral en el rendimiento de haba, en suelo y sustrato tezontle. La investigación se realizó de diciembre 2013-abril 2014, en el municipio de San Pedro Cholula, Puebla, bajo condiciones de invernadero, utilizando semilla Cultivar Cochinera. Se estudiaron dos factores: biofertilización líquida foliar y concentración de solución nutritiva de Steiner al 50% y 100%. Los biofertilizantes estudiados fueron provenientes de digestores de flujo continuo tipo Taiwán localizados en los municipios de San Felipe Teotlalcingo y Huejotzingo, Puebla. El diseño experimental de los trabajos fue completamente al azar y arreglo factorial de tratamientos, con cinco repeticiones. Los resultados mostraron que, para el cultivo en suelo, los tratamientos no presentaron diferencias en el rendimiento de fruto en fresco, pero si hubo diferencias significativas en rendimiento de fruto seco donde la aplicación de biofertilizante líquido proveniente de San Felipe Teotlalcingo tuvo los mejores resultados. Mientras que la aplicación de una fertilización órgano-mineral completa en sustrato tezontle resultó en la mejor repuesta en rendimiento de fruto fresco y seco.

KINERJA STRUKTURAL INTERLOCKING COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCK (ICEB) DENGAN SERAT IJUK SEBAGAI STABILISATOR
Authors: Arsitektur ARTEKS Jurnal Teknik
Published: December 2018

Title: Structural Performance of Interlocking Compressed Earth Block with Ijuk (Arenga pinnata) Fiber as StabiliserModular block building materials have been well-known in the design and construction of built-environment. In its simplest form, the modular block is known as brick, red brick, lime brick, conblock, etc. The modularity of its unit lends itself for easy of production, application and transport. The drawbacks, however, are the generallyrelated to high energy consumption and pollution level in the production process (brick burning, high temp heating of cement and lime). In the perspective of sustainable and environmentally friendly built environment, the drawbacks need to be addressed in order to minimize its carbon footprint in human habitation. The challenge is how to obtain modular blocks with low energy consumption, while achieving stability and structural performance up to the standard. In this research, the earthen block test units were conducted without burning or use of cement and lime. Ijuk fibre (Arenga pinnata) was chosen as replacement of cement and lime was choses as stabilizer in producing modular blocks. The main test units and their comparisons underwent a compression test in the compressive testing machine to evaluate the structural performance. The comparison test blocks were blocks with similar form, dimension and production method, while the diffrentiating factor was the mixture. The standards SNI 15-2094-2000 (Indonesia) and IS 1077 : 1992 (India) were used as reference to compressive strength of common fired brick.
Predictive cues reduce but do not eliminate intrinsic response bias
Authors: Hu Mingjia , Rahnev Dobromir
Published: December 2018

Predictive cues induce large changes in people’s choices by biasing responses towards the expected stimulus category. At the same time, even in the absence of predictive cues, humans often exhibit substantial intrinsic response biases. Despite the ubiquity of both of these biasing effects, it remains unclear how predictive cues interact with intrinsic bias. To understand the nature of this interaction, we examined data across three previous experiments that featured a combination of neutral cues (revealing intrinsic biases) and predictive cues. We found that predictive cues decreased the intrinsic bias to about half of its original size. This result held both when bias was quantified as the criterion location estimated using signal detection theory and as the probability of choosing a particular stimulus category. Our findings demonstrate that predictive cues reduce but do not eliminate intrinsic response bias, testifying to both the malleability and rigidity of intrinsic biases.

DEFISIT MORAL BANGSA INDONESIA DITINJAU DARI BERBAGAI TEORI DAN PANCASILA SOEKARNO
Authors: Akuntansi Nur Hidayati
Published: December 2018

Bangsa Indonesia merupakan bangsa yang bermartabat dan berbudaya. Sebagai bagian dari Indonesia, masyarakat Indonesia diharuskan menjadi masyarakat dengan etika dan etiket yang baik. Sebelum Indonesia merdeka, Soekarno telah berupaya untuk menciptakan dan menjadikan Pancasila sebagai ideologi negara. Dengan adanya Pancasila, diharapkan mampu menjadi pedoman sehingga semua yang berkaitan dengan Indonesia merdeka dapat tertata dengan lebih baik. Namun pada pelaksanaannya, nilai nilai Pancasila sangat susah diterapkan oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Bukti konkretnya adalah pelecehan yang dihadapi oleh Baiq Nuril. Pelecehan seksual yang dialami Baiq Nuril merupakan tindakan yang menyimpang dari ajaran Pancasila, terutama sila perikemanusiaan dan sila ketuhanan.

Rapuhnya moralitas dan rendahnya tingkat kejujuran orang – orang yang berbuat korupsi. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah rendahnya kualitas sumber daya manusia. Korupsi di indonesia dewasa ini sudah merupakan penyakit sosial yang sangat berbahaya dan merugikan semua aspek kehidupan masyarakat. Dan sekarang ini korupsi seolah olah sudah menjadi budaya dalam masyarakat. Tindakan ini bertentangan dengan arti penting dan fungsi Pancasila sebagai pandangan hidup bangsa Indonesia. Selain itu juga menciderai nilai – nilai luhur Pancasila. Persoalannya adalah bagaimana korupsi di brantas? kalo kita ingin maju maka korupsi harus diberantas. Dan korupsi sendiri membawa dampak negatif terhadap sebuah negara ke jurang kehancuran. Maka suatu pemerintahan harus menanamkan legitimasi moral agar tidak bertindak semena mena dan berlaku jujur dalam segala hal
PANCASILA MEMBUKTIKAN DAPAT MEMPERSATUKAN BANGSA INDONESIA MENURUT TEORI PIDATO SOEKARNO
Authors: mateus
Published: December 2018

Pidato Soekarno tentang pancasila membuktikkan bahwa dapat mempersatukan bangsa Indonesia. Bangsa Indonesia merupakan cara pandang untuk menilai peristiwa yang melatarbelakangi terbentuknya NKRI dan dasar negaranya yaitu Pancasila. Pembentukan pancasila tersebut tidak terlepas dari sejarah kerajaan-kerajaan yang ada di nusantara dari zaman hindu, budha dan islam. Sejarah perjuangan dan berdirinya bangsa Indonesia dalam mencapai kemerdekaannya berjalan sejak sekian abad yang lalu, dengan berbagai cara dan bertahap. Sejarah perjuangan bangsa Indonesia mempunyai hubungannya dengan sejarah lahirnya Pancasila. Penjajahan barat yang memusnahkan kemakmuran bangsa Indonesia itu tidak dibiarkan begitu oleh segenap bangsa Indonesia. Sejak mulai imprealisme itu menjejakkan kakinya di Indonesia. Menurut pidato Bung Karno dalam kursus-kursus mengenai pancasila pada tahun 1958 dan 1959 dilihat situasi politik yang terjadi pada masa itu. Bung Karno mencoba menjawab dan menanggapi perkembangan yang terjadi pada masyarakat indonesia yang sangat rentan dengan konplik dan perpecahan. Pancasila ditekankan sebagai alat pemersatu dan alat perjuangan bangsa Indonesia. Bung Karno meletakkan pancasila sebagai alat untuk melawan “imperialisme”.Sokarno, (2008;4-5) dan menuliskan bahwa Pada tanggal 1 Juni 1945, menurut pidato Soekarno adalah sebagai pemimpin rakyat, yang mengetahui sejarah, menjadi zwaarwinchting, menjadi gentar, padahal semboyan Indonesia Merdeka bukan sekarang aja disiarkan tapi berpuluh-puluh tahun yang lalu. Soekarno telah menyiarkan semboyan Indonesia Merdeka, bahkan sejak tahun 1932 dengan nyata-nyata dihadapan bangsa indonesia dan mempunyai semboyan “INDONESIA MERDEKA SEKARANG” bahkan tiga kali sekarang, yaitu Indonesia Merdeka sekarang, sekarang-sekarang.
AGU 2018 Poster: Long-Term Recovery of Life in the Chicxulub Crater
Authors: Lowery Christopher , Jones Heather , Bralower Timothy J. , Whalen Michael , Cruz Ligia Perez , Gebhardt Catalina , Yamaguchi Kosei , Purkey Marcie , Snedden John , Scientists Expedition
Published: December 2018

At the end of the Cretaceous Period (66 Ma), the impact of a meteorite on the Yucatán platform in the southern Gulf of Mexico caused the extinction of 75% of species on Earth, including 90% of planktic microorganisms like foraminifera and calcareous nannoplankton. As the ocean ecosystem struggled to get back on its feet after this calamity, the recovery of marine primary productivity was geographically heterogeneous. Some authors had speculated that this heterogeneity was driven by the uneven distribution of toxic metals in the ocean, and was directly related to distance from the Chicxulub crater. However, results from recent International Ocean Discovery Program/International Continental Drilling Program (IODP/ICDP) joint Expedition 364, which drilled the Chicxulub crater itself, found evidence of the rapid establishment of a healthy, high-productivity ecosystem in the crater within 30 kyr of the impact. This result suggests that the recovery of marine productivity is likely driven by ecological factors like incumbency and competitive exclusion. However, it also raises several additional questions: How long does high productivity last in the crater? Is this high productivity driven by the impact-generated hydrothermal system or is it a Gulf-wide phenomenon? If so, what’s driving it?Here, we examine planktic and benthic foraminifera, calcareous nannoplankton, major, minor, and trace elements, and stable isotopes from the Paleocene interval of IODP Site M0077 in the Chicxulub Crater, and compare it to publically available planktic foraminifer and nannoplankton counts from three oil wells in the northern Gulf of Mexico to determine the long term trends in productivity in the Chicxulub Crater and whether or not they are limited to the crater or extend across the Gulf. We show that the first ~million years of the Paleocene are characterized by a eutrophic surface waters that slowly transition to mesotrophic and then oligotrophic by the middle Paleocene. Foraminiferal data from the northern Gulf of Mexico demonstrates that this trend is regional.
Financial Stress and Mental Health among Higher Education Students in the United Kingdom up to 2018: a Rapid Review of Evidence
Authors: McCloud Tayla , Bann David
Published: December 2018

IntroductionIn the UK, as in many other high-income countries, debt due to higher education has increased substantially in recent decades. For example, as of 2018, the average student in England will have accrued £50,000 of debt upon university completion. The prevalence of common mental health problems has also increased, alongside these increased financial pressures. However, it is as yet unclear whether there is an association between financial stress and mental health among higher education students.Methods We conducted a rapid review of the peer-reviewed scientific literature to examine the links between indicators of financial stress and mental health among university students in the UK. Studies were located through a systematic search of Psychinfo, Pubmed and Embase up to November 2018. Eligible studies were English-language publications testing the association between any indicator of financial stress and mental health among higher education students in the United Kingdom. ResultsThe search strategy above yielded 1,272 studies, from which only 9 met the inclusion criteria. A further two studies were identified through hand-searching. Financial indicators included amount of debt, experience of financial difficulties and financial concerns/debt worry. There was little evidence that debt level was associated with mental health—only 3 of 7 studies found an association in the expected direction between higher debt and worse mental health. Evidence was more consistent for a cross-sectional relationship between subjective measures of financial difficulty (7 of 7 studies) and debt worry/financial concern (4 of 5 studies) with worse mental health, though longitudinal evidence was very limited. ConclusionAmong higher education students in the UK, there is little evidence that the amount of debt is associated with mental health, while subjective measures of higher financial stress are more consistently associated with worse mental health outcomes. The identified evidence was judged to be weak due to uncertain study generalisability, and the potential for bias due to common causes of financial stress and mental health outcomes (confounders). Thus, further research is required to examine whether links between financial stress and mental health outcomes are robust and causal in nature.
Young Children Use Discovery and Creation Significantly More than Adults for Deciding Ownership
Authors: Faigenbaum Gustavo , Sigman Mariano , Casiraghi Leandro
Published: December 2018

The present study attempted to determine differences between children and adults in the resolution of third-party property disputes involving different claims for ownership. Children (n = 110; mean age ± SD = 6.3 ± 1.2) and adults (n = 74; 37.5 ± 12.6) watched videos depicting ownership conflicts between two characters who held opposing claims over an object and were asked to decide who should own it. In the stories, each character based her claim on one of four distinct arguments: Discovery, Creation, Occupation, and Transaction. A key difference between these claims lies on the presence or absence of a “first possession” element: Discovery and Creation imply prior possession of the discovered or created object, whereas Occupation and Transaction necessarily involve a preexisting owner. We found that children assigned ownership to prior possessors in the stories twice as much as adults (Medians = 4 and 2, out of four cases, respectively; p < 0.001), and favored discoverers and creators substantially more than adults. Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of first possession in the adjudication of ownership both for children and adults. The present study deals with first possession as instantiated in Discovery and Creation episodes and provides novel quantitative evidence that children value first possession significantly more than adults. In contrast with previous studies, we found that discovery trumps creation in certain contexts, suggesting that narrative and contextual details influence children’s reasoning.
From aliens to invisible limbs: The transitions that never make it into conscious experience
Authors: Aru Jaan
Published: December 2018

Here it is suggested that one interesting but not well-studied property of consciousness is its continuity – the fact that my experience is stable in time despite the myriads of changes in the underlying neural activity. It is proposed that there are specific mechanisms that maintain the continuity of consciousness by preventing certain transitions in the environment from entering conscious experience. These mechanisms are the key reason why we do not perceive the involuntary eye-blinks or why our own moving limbs do not capture our attention. I will describe some studies we have conducted with virtual reality to demonstrate that one mechanism supporting the continuity of consciousness seems to be the withdrawal of attention from the specific predictable sensory activity. It is described how the active inference theory can explain this set of findings. It seems that (for now) the active inference theory is the only theory that can account for the continuity of consciousness. Next, we explore the neural mechanisms of how the motor cortex conveys specific predictions to the sensory cortices and inhibit the predicted sensory consequences of own movement. Although not much is learned from this piece about the mechanisms of continuity, it is concluded that the topic is worth to be explored more thoroughly.
Field evidence for two paths to cross-cultural competence: implications for cultural dynamics
Authors: Bunce John
Published: December 2018

This article is now published open-access as: Bunce JA (2020). Field evidence for two paths to cross-cultural competence: implications for cultural dynamics. Evolutionary Human Sciences 2, e3, 1–16. https://doi.org/10.1017/ehs.2020.1 Interaction between members of culturally-distinct (ethnic) groups is an important driver of the evolutionary dynamics of human culture, yet the relevant mechanisms remain under-explored. For example, cultural loss resulting from integration with culturally-distinct immigrants or colonial majority populations remains a topic whose political salience exceeds our understanding of mechanisms that may drive or impede it. For such dynamics, one mediating factor is the ability to interact successfully across cultural boundaries (cross-cultural competence). However, measurement difficulties often hinder its investigation. Here, simple field methods in a uniquely-suited Amazonian population and Bayesian item-response theory models are used to derive the first experience-level measure of cross-cultural competence, as well as evidence for two developmental paths: Cross-cultural competence may emerge as a side effect of adopting out-group cultural norms, or it may be acquired while maintaining in-group norms. Ethnographic evidence suggests that the path taken is a likely consequence of power differences in inter- versus intra-group interaction. The former path, paralleling language extinction, can lead to cultural loss; the latter to cultural sustainability. Recognition of such path-dependent effects is vital both to theory of cultural dynamics in humans and perhaps other species, and to effective policy promoting cultural diversity and constructive inter-ethnic interaction.
Evaluating Access, Quality, and Inverted Admissions in MOOC-Based Blended Degree Pathways: A Study of the MIT Supply Chain Management MicroMasters
Authors: Littenberg-Tobias Joshua , Reich Justin
Published: December 2018

Many higher education institutions have begun offering opportunities to earn credit for in-person courses through massive open online courses (MOOCs). This mixed-methods study examines the experiences of students participating in one of the first iterations of this trend: a blended professional master's degree program that admitted students based on performance in MOOC-based online courses. We found that the blended master's program attracted a cohort of highly educated mid-career professionals from developed countries who were looking for more flexible alternatives to traditional graduate programs. Success in the online courses was correlated with higher levels of prior formal education and effective use of learning strategies. Students who enrolled in the blended graduate program reported being academically prepared for their coursework and had higher GPAs (3.86, p<0.01) than students in the residential program (3.75). The findings of this study suggest that the technological affordances of MOOC-based online and blended degrees will neither transform higher education nor solve its most stubborn equity challenges, but there may be particular niches where they provide a valuable service to learners in particular programs and contexts.

Novel Combination for Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery System of Candesartan Cilexetil
Authors: Mekhilef Safa F. , A. Hussein Ahmed
Published: December 2018

Solubility problem of many of effective pharmaceutical molecules are still one of the major obstacle in theformulation of such molecules. Candesartan cilexetil (CC) is angiotensin II receptor antagonist with very low water solubility and this result in low and variable bioavailability. Self- emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) showed promising result in overcoming solubility problem of many drug molecules. CC was prepared as SEDDS by using novel combination of two surfactants (tween 80 and cremophore EL) and tetraglycol as cosurfactant, in addition to the use of triacetin as oil. Different tests were performed in order to confirm the stability of the final product which includes thermodynamic study, determination of self-emulsification time, particle size and zeta potential measurement, and in-vitro drug release. The results showed that the particle size of the best formula was 13.3 nm and zeta potential of -37.45 mV with approximately 100% release after 45 minutes .These results suggest that the preparation of CC. as SEDDS with the use of the above combination of surfactant and cosurfactant is a promising maneuver for oral delivery of CC. in order to improve its bioavailability.
Polymer Science for Engineers
Authors: Clements Linda L.
Published: December 2018

This article outlines the fundamentals of polymer science and emphasizes the aspects that are necessary and useful to applications of engineering plastics. The basic structure of polymers influences the properties of both polymers and the plastics made from them. An understanding of this basic structure permits the engineers to understand which polymers may be acceptable for a certain application, and which may not. There are various possible classification schemes for polymers. Typical classification categories include polymerization process, chemical elements that make up the monomer, or crystalline versus noncrystalline structure. The article describes the various aspects of chemical structure that are important to an understanding of polymer properties and, thus, affect eventual end uses. It discusses different types of names assigned to polymers. The article details the aspects of polymer structure and examines the properties of polymers and the way they are altered by structure.
Recycling of Plastics
Authors: Walling Ronald L. , Ehrig Ray
Published: December 2018

This article discusses postconsumer plastics recyclate quantities, the classification of plastics recycling into primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary categories, and how the life cycle of plastics is affected by recycling. The recycling processes of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which accounts for the largest percentage of plastic recycling, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastics, the other large-volume plastic recyclate, as well as vinyl resins and polycarbonate resins are described. The life cycle of plastics has four phases: poly formation, part fabrication, product service, and disposal. Landfilling is still the primary method of final disposal, and incineration is another option, but recycling has become a viable alternative. The article presents a comparison between secondary and tertiary recycling.

Authors: Tuszynski Rebecca
Published: December 2018

Tribology is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion or, the study of friction, wear, and lubrication. This article focuses on friction and wear processes that aid in the evaluation and selection of materials, for polymers and some composites used in friction and wear applications. It provides information on friction, types of wear, and lubrication. The article includes a brief description of the friction and wear test methods, laboratory-scale friction, and wear testing, usually performed either to rank the performance of candidate materials for an application or to investigate a particular wear process. It describes the wear tests conducted with/without abrasives and explains the concept of PV limit (where P is contact pressure and V is velocity). The article concludes with references and tables of friction and wear test data for polymeric materials.
Crystal Structure of Metallic Elements
Authors: Baker Hugh
Published: December 2018

Crystal structure is the arrangement of atoms or molecules in the solid state that involves consideration of defects, or abnormalities, in idealized atomic/molecular arrangements. The three-dimensional aggregation of unit cells in the crystal forms a space lattice or Bravais lattice. This article provides a brief review of the terms and basic concepts associated with crystal structures. It also discusses some of the significant defects obstructing plastic flow in real crystals, namely point defects, line defects, stacking faults, twins, and cold work. Several tables in the article provide information on the crystal structures and lattice parameters of allotropes of metallic elements.
