6. The Militant Media of Neo-Nazi Environmentalism
Authors: Hurd Madeleine , Werther Steffen
Published: July 2016

This chapter examines how neo-Nazi websites and print media wed the slogans, symbols, visuals, and narratives of the radical patriot to those of the homeland-loving environmentalist, and how this combination results in a coherent set of complementary media messages. The case history is the media of the National-Democratic Party of Germany (NPD), focusing on the years 2010–2013. The chapter analyzes the NPD’s web presence and the magazine Umwelt & Aktiv, including images, tone, themes, and calls to environmentalist action, and the dimensions of gender and youth in the messaging. These media deploy the key concept of Heimat, which comprises territory, culture, and people, and which the neo-Nazis wish to defend against perceived enemies, such as immigrants and internationalists. The frames of fear (of threats to the Heimat) and nostalgia (for what must be protected) are combined in a narrative of “irreparability,” effectively linking the visuals and narratives of militant xenophobia to biocentric environmentalism. The standard anti-globalization, pro-environment messaging, which is also used by ecocritics on the left, is given a special, frightening slant: the need to protect German (and European) biomass.
The Impact of Lightning Data Assimilation on Deterministic and Ensemble Forecasts of Convective Events
Authors: Dixon Ken , Mass Clifford F. , Hakim Gregory J. , Holzworth Robert H.
Published: July 2016

A general lightning data assimilation technique is developed and tested with observations from the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN). The technique nudges the water vapor mixing ratio toward saturation within 10 km of a lightning observation and is more general than other approaches that require specific model microphysics or flash rates. This approach is applied to both deterministic and ensemble forecasts of the 29 June 2012 derecho event over the eastern United States and a deterministic forecast of the 17 November 2013 convective event over the Midwest using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model run at a convection-permitting resolution. Lightning data are assimilated over the first three hours of the forecasts, and the subsequent impact on forecast quality is evaluated. For both events, the deterministic simulations with lightning-based nudging produce more realistic predicted composite reflectivity fields. For the forecasts of the 29 June 2012 event using ensemble data assimilation, forecast improvements from lightning assimilation were more modest than for the deterministic forecasts, suggesting that lightning assimilation may produce greater improvements in convective forecasts where conventional observations (e.g., aircraft, surface, radiosonde, satellite) are less dense or unavailable.
Defining the Newborn Blood Spot Screening Reference Interval for TSH: Impact of Ethnicity
Authors: Peters Catherine , Brooke Ivan , Heales Simon , Ifederu Adeboye , Langham Shirley , Hindmarsh Peter , Cole Tim J.
Published: July 2016

Context:

There is variability in the congenital hypothyroidism (CH) newborn screening TSH cutoff across the United Kingdom.

Objective:

To determine the influences of year, gender, and ethnicity on screening variability and examine whether there is an optimal operational TSH cutoff.

Design and Setting:

Single center, retrospective population study using blood spot TSH cards received by the Great Ormond Street Hospital Screening Laboratory between 2006 and 2012.

Patients:

A total of 824 588 newborn screening blood spot TSH cards.

Intervention:

Blood spot TSH results were recorded with demographic data including the Ethnic Category Code.

Main Outcome Measures:

The proportions of samples exceeding different TSH cutoffs, ranked by ethnicity.

Results:

The proportion of samples exceeding the TSH cutoff increased over time, with the cutoff at 4 mU/L, but not at 6 mU/L. There was a consistent trend with ethnicity, irrespective of cutoff, with the odds ratio of exceeding the TSH cutoff lowest (∼1.0) in White babies, higher in Pakistani and Bangladeshi (>2.0), and highest in Chinese (>3.5).

Conclusions:

The blood spot TSH screening data demonstrate a clear ranking according to ethnicity for differences in mean TSH. This suggests that there may be ethnic differences in thyroid physiology. Ethnic diversity within populations needs to be considered when establishing and interpreting screening TSH cutoffs.
Against the tide of depoliticisation: the politics of research governance
Authors: Hartley Sarah , Pearce Warren , Taylor Alasdair
Published: July 2016

Research has identified a general trend towards depoliticisation. Against this trend, we identify opportunities for politicisation through the international emergence of a research governance tool: ‘responsible research and innovation’ (RRI). Drawing on face-to-face interviews with university staff, we reveal two factors that influence whether research governance becomes a site of politics: actors’ acknowledgement of their societal responsibilities, and the meanings these actors attribute to RRI. RRI provides a focus for political struggles over the public value of research and innovation at a time when science policy is given a privileged role in driving economic growth.
Assessing the Social Skills and Problem Behaviors of Adolescents With Severe Disabilities Enrolled in General Education Classes
Authors: Lyons Gregory L. , Huber Heartley B. , Carter Erik W. , Chen Rui , Asmus Jennifer M.
Published: July 2016

Although enhancing the social competence of students with severe disabilities has long remained a prominent focus of school-based intervention efforts, relatively little attention has focused on identifying the most critical social and behavioral needs of students during high school. We examined the social skills and problem behaviors of 137 adolescents with severe disabilities from the vantage point of both special educators and parents. We sought to identify areas of potential intervention need, explore factors associated with social skill and problem behavior ratings, and examine the extent to which teachers and parents converged in their assessments of these needs. Our findings indicate teachers and parents of high school students with severe disabilities rated social skills as considerably below average and problem behaviors as above average. In addition, lower social skills ratings were evident for students with greater support needs, lower levels of overall adaptive behavior, and a special education label of autism. We found moderate consistency in the degree to which teachers and parents aligned in their assessments of both social skills and problem behavior. We offer recommendations for assessment and intervention focused on strengthening the social competence of adolescents with severe disabilities within secondary school classrooms, as well as promising avenues for future research.

Authors: Paez Gallego Javier
Published: July 2016

La educación en valores es un proceso de aprendizaje que potencia el desarrollo axiológico de las personas. Desde este punto de vista, los modelos propuestos por Kohlberg (1976) o Molina (2012) sientan las bases para la planificación de programas de educación en valores. En el presente trabajo se propone revisar la evolución histórica de los modelos teóricos y metodológicos más importantes en la elaboración de programas de educación en valores. Con este fin se ha llevado a cabo una cuidadosa revisión de la literatura científica más relevante en bases de datos (PsycINFO, Psicodoc, ERIC, EBSCO, Social Services Abstract y Web of Knowledge). El resultado permite establecer comparaciones entre los diferentes modelos teóricos y determinar los puntos fuertes y débiles de cada uno de ellos, así como la exposición de los principales elementos metodológicos que intervienen en la educación en valores. De tal manera, se describen sus características así como los componentes de juicio para la selección de los valores teniendo en consideración a los destinatarios de la acción educativa.
The actor's point of view in terms of governance tendency to the health tourism: The case of AntalyaYönetişim eğilimleri çerçevesinde sağlık turizmine aktörlerin bakış açısı: Antalya örneği
Authors: Korkmaz Özcan Zişan
Published: July 2016

Governence which means that governing structures act in unision instead of acting seperately is also very significant in the field of health. In this regard, governence approach aims at accomplishing the sense of simultaneous governing corresponding with creating policies and decision-making process by ensuring the participation not only the state but also citizens,private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGOS)  as important factors of change.This study aims at assessing whether deficiency in relation with the health tourism in Turkey relates to the governence or not. For that purpose, Antalya that is one of the most important provinces of Turkish tourism has been chosen as a range of application and magnitude of governence of Antalya in the field of health has been tried to be measured by carrying out survey study consisted of public-private institutions and organizations, and the authorities of non-governmental organizations with the over 106 people.According to the results of the suvey, there is a lack of governence in the field of health tourism in Antalya, and this endangers the potential of health tourism. So, being collaborated an advertisement, information and application activity in harmony on the health tourism, and being established public politicy are an important acqusition for both the country and Antalya in terms of economic, political, social and cultural. ÖzetYönetim yapılarının tek başlarına hareket etmeleri yerine, birlikte hareket etmeleri anlamına gelen yönetişim, sağlık turizmi alanında da önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bu bağlamda yönetişim yaklaşımı, politika oluşturma ve karar verme süreçlerine değişimin önemli aktörleri olarak sadece devletin değil; yurttaşların, özel sektör ve Sivil Toplum Kuruluşları (STK)'nın da katılımını sağlayarak birlikte yönetim anlayışını hayata ge­çirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'nin sağlık turizminde eksikliğinin yönetişim olup olmadığını belirleyebilmektir. Bu amaçla, Türk turizminin en önemli illerinden biri olan Antalya, uygulama bölgesi olarak seçilmiş ve kamu-özel sektör kurum ve kuruluşları ile STK'nın yetkili kişilerinden oluşan 106 kişi üzerinde yüzyüze yapılan anket çalışması yöntemiyle Antalya bölgesinin sağlık turizmi alanında yönetişim boyutu ölçülmeye çalışılmıştır. Anket çalışmasının sonuçlarına göre, Antalya’da sağlık turizmi alanında yönetişim eksikliği vardır ve bu eksiklik sağlık turizmi potansiyelini tehdit eder sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu bağlamda sağlık turizmi alanında yapılacak olan tanıtım, bilgilendirme ve uygulama faaliyetlerinin işbirliği içerisinde yapılması, kamu politikalarının da bu çerçevede oluşturulması hem ülkemiz, hem de Antalya ili açısından ekonomik, siyasal, sosyal ve kültürel anlamda önemli bir kazanç olacaktır.
Excellent durability of epoxy modified mortars in corrosive environments
Authors: Rahman Md. Mostafizur , Islam Md. Akhtarul , Uddin Md. Tamez
Published: July 2016

The resistance of three different types of masonry mortar, namely Portland cement mortar (CM), epoxy resin-based polymer CM (PCM) and polymer mortar (PM) to corrosive aqueous media have been presented in this study. Assessment was carried out on the basis of relative loss in mass and compressive strength of the mortar specimens after immersion in different corrosive solutions such as 10 vol% sulphuric acid, 10 vol% sodium hydroxide solutions and 10 wt% brine for various periods. CM specimens were found to be vulnerable in brine, acidic and alkaline mediums, while the mortar modified with epoxy resin showed excellent resistance to the above mentioned mediums. By contrast, PM evidenced appreciable stability even after immersion for a longer period in the same environment. Experimental results suggest that the epoxy-based masonry mortars can be used as a promising external rendering material to build infrastructures.

Published: July 2016

Using real time spectroscopic ellipsometry to characterize the microstructure and evolutionary growth of Si:H materials deposited with and without hydrogen dilution, phase diagrams were developed which clearly defined and established growth in the protocrystalline regime. Guided by these phase diagrams thin films and intrinsic layers in p-i-n cell structures were grown which consist solely of the protocrystalline phase so that the bulk uniform properties of the material could be characterized with confidence. Studies were carried out on the light induced changes in these films and cell structures that include the annealing out of defects as well as their creation under 1 sun illumination at temperatures from 25°C to 100°C that include the attainment of a degraded steady states (DSS). Defect states were characterized in films with electron mobility lifetimes (μτ), and subgap absorption at 1.2eV (α(1.2)); and in the i material of the p-i-n cells by the bulk limited fill factor (FF). The contributions of the different gap states to SWE are identified and characterized. The absence of direct correlations between α(1.2) with μτ and FF present in undiluted and diluted materials also found in protocrystalline Si:H. Similarities, on the other hand, are found between the μτ products and the FFs including the striking changes in the kinetics that occur at ∼40°C. Direct correlations between the changes in μτ and FF at different temperatures are presented. The reason for this correlation and lack of it for α(1.2) are briefly discussed with direct correlation of the α(1.2) to cell characteristics being presented, be it not with the FF.
Growth and Electrochemical Properties of V2O5 Nanotube Arrays
Authors: Wang Ying , Takahashi Katsunori , Shang Huamei , Lee Kyoungho , Cao Guozhong
Published: July 2016

Nanotube arrays of amorphous vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) were synthesized through the template-based electrodeposition and its electrochemical properties were investigated for Li-ion intercalation applications. The nanotubes have a length of 10 μm, outer-diameter of 200 nm and inner-diameter of 100 nm. Electrochemical analyses demonstrate that the V2O5 nanotube array delivers a high initial capacity of 300 mAh/g, about twice that of the electrochemically-prepared V2O5 film. Although the V2O5 nanotube array shows a more drastic degradation than the film under electrochemical redox cycles, the nanotube array reaches a stabilized capacity of 160 mAh/g which remains about 1.3 times the stabilized capacity of the film.

Published: July 2016

O presente trabalho avalia a viabilidade agronômica de um biossólido, resultante da mistura de lodo da estação de tratamento de esgotos (ETE) da indústria de refrigerantes, palha de soja e terra para a cultura de couve Brassica oleleracea da variedade tronchuda. O ensaio de campo foi realizado em um solo caracteristicamente pedalférico, destacando-se os solos vermelhos argiloarenosos, diferenciados na base da textura média ou argilosa, de camada superficial castanho-avermelhada no período de fevereiro a junho de 2012. O biossólido produzido apresentou uma relação nutricional de 0,5:1,0:0,2. O campo de ensaio foi dividido em nove parcelas. Três delas foram tratadas com o biossólido, três com adubo mineral e as três restantes foram definidas como parcelas de controle. Nas parcelas tratadas com biossólido foram adicionadas 30 gramas dele em cada pé de couve. A produtividade relativa foi definida tendo em conta os parâmetros: altura da planta, comprimento da folha, largura da folha e peso da folha. O biossólido melhorou a fertilidade do solo, o estado nutricional e a produtividade da couve superando a parcela de controle em cerca de 40,3%. Porém, teve uma eficiência relativamente menor que a parcela de adubação mineral, na ordem de 48,7%, podendo se considerar que o biossólido teve um rendimento mais próximo ao de adubação mineral. Os resultados mostram que o biossólido produzido a partir do lodo da estação de tratamento de esgotos da indústria de refrigerantes incrementa a produtividade do solo.

Income Diversity and Poverty Transitions: Evidence from Vietnam
Authors: Tran Van Q.
Published: July 2016

The large share of the population in rural areas of the developing world has been diversifying their livelihood to nonagricultural activities. However, the amount of the literature that discusses the possible effects of the diversity on a household's well‐being is still limited. This study contributes to this strand of the literature by investigating the effects of income diversity on poverty transitions. The analysis is based on household panel data collected in the 2000s from Vietnam and applied to a multinomial logit model. The results show that households with better access to markets are more able to diversify their income sources to nonagricultural activities and the diversity is helpful for a household to escape poverty or to avoid falling into poverty.

Authors: Pretto Fernando , Filardi Fernando , Pretto Cristine de
Published: July 2016

A teoria das organizações vem se desenvolvendo e sendo enriquecida pela crescente diversidade de correntes epistemológicas, entre elas a Abordagem Institucional. No entanto, a capacidade de absorção do conhecimento vem sofrendo uma defasagem considerável em relação às demandas do mercado de trabalho. O presente estudo tem o objetivo de analisar a aplicação da metodologia de Jogos de Negócios como estratégia complementar no processo de ensino/aprendizagem, tendo em vista o marco da Abordagem Institucional, de caráter interpretativo. A pesquisa foi realizada com base em um levantamento de dados a respeito de duas turmas do curso de graduação em Administração, sendo que em uma delas foi aplicado um jogo de negócios e, na outra, não. Utilizando-se de análise qualitativa e quantitativa, foi possível concluir que os jogos de negócios podem ser uma metodologia muito útil na simulação da realidade, na avaliação do desempenho e no auxílio do ensino das diversas correntes da teoria das organizações.

O artigo apresenta um panorama sobre a organização da prática de ensino nas licenciaturas em História nas universidades públicas federais e estaduais brasileiras, a partir da educação comparada. A amostra é composta de 73 PPC (Projetos Pedagógicos de Curso), que correspondem a 96 cursos, em todas as regiões do país. Na amostra encontramos uma diversidade de abordagem e interpretação sobre o formato da Prática como Componente Curricular (PCC). Alguns cursos organizaram a Prática de Ensino em forma de disciplinas específicas, outros alocaram a carga horária com uma parte em disciplinas específicas e outra parte diluída na grade. Outros cursos diluíram as 400 horas nas disciplinas já existentes na grade ou fizeram uma mistura entre pesquisa como PCC, pedagógicas como PCC, carga horária diluída. Os PPC apresentam variedade também nas temáticas e preocupações abordadas.
Adsorption-Enhanced Transport of Hydrocarbons in Organic Nanopores
Authors: Riewchotisakul Sansarng , Akkutlu I. Yucel
Published: July 2016

In this paper, we present the results of steady-state methane flow in carbon nanotubes under reservoir conditions by use of nonequilibrium-molecular-dynamics simulations. The results show that the nanotubes contain a mobile adsorbed phase. The mobility leads to a significant shift up in the flow-velocity profile of the fluid across the diameter of the nanotube. The contribution of the adsorbed phase to transport is significant in capillaries with size smaller than 10 nm. The results indicate that gas transport in organic nanocapillaries in resource shales could be influenced by the adsorbed phase. Hence, a new kerogen-permeability model is proposed that considers the presence of a mobile adsorbed phase. We use the bundle-of-capillaries approach and estimate that the permeability correction for the organic nanopores of Marcellus shale increases more than 50%. Further research is required to consider the transport of the other hydrocarbons and their mixtures.

Background/Aim. One of the most reliable methods for structural measurements of glaucomatous damage is spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). The aim of this study was to measure peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness with SD-OCT in eyes with different stages of glaucoma, as well as to determine which sector in the peripapillary circle is the most vulnerable to glaucomatous damage. Methods. The study included 153 eyes of 93 patients with confirmed primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). All the patients underwent a complete ophthalmic examination, including visual field testing and peripapillary RNFL thickness measured by SD-OCT. They were divided into three subgroups: early, moderate and severe stage of glaucoma based on the mean deviation (MD) index of visual field. The results were presented as mean RNFL thickness: total, in the four quadrants and 12 clock-hour RNFL thickness. Results. The overall mean peripapillary RNFL was 74.95 ? 14.51 ?m. The lower quadrant had the thickest RNFL (92.78 ? 25.84 ?m), followed by upper (88.82 ? 22.04 ?m), nasal (64.31 ? 11.67 ?m) and temporal ones (54.02 ? 12.76 ?m), showing a significant difference (?2 = 273.36, DF = 3, p < 0.001). Comparison between RNFL thickness in early glaucoma and moderate and severe stages revealed that the most sensitive sectors were inferior and superior ones, as well as sectors at 5?7 clock hour position. The greatest decrease in RNFL thickness was observed in the 9 o'clock hour sector in all three glaucoma subgroups (46.99 ? 13.28 ?m), while the RNFL was the thickest in the 6 o'clock hour sector (102.63 ? 34.12 ?m). Conclusion. Peripapillary RNFL thickness is inversely proportional to the degree of glaucomatous damage: the greater the damage, the thinner peripapillary RNFL.

A series of saturated cardanol polyoxyethylene ether carboxylates was synthesized using renewable saturated cardanol originating from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid as raw material. The structures were characterized by hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The studies of their surface activity and interface activity were carried out to analyze the influence of the chemical structures of the series of cardanol surfactants on the adsorption and micellization. Results showed that saturated cardanol polyoxyethylene ether carboxylates had a good surface activity and interface activity, and the interface activities of the Gemini cardanol surfactants were better than those of the corresponding monomer cardanol surfactants. The critical micelle concentrations (CMC) of all investigated cardanol surfactants, obtained from surface tension measurements, were low in the order of 10−5 mol/L. The CMCs decreased and the oil-water interface tension for the same cardanol surfactants increased with the increase of the oxyethylene number. The process of micellization became easier with increasing the oxyethylene number. The ΔG
θ
m values of the Gemini cardanol surfactants were more negative than those of the corresponding monomer cardanol surfactants. The micellization for all cardanol surfactants was a spontaneous process and exhibited enthalpy-entropy compensation. The micellization of all the cardanol surfactants was entropy-driven.

As a result of their outstanding properties hard metals offer great potential in the tool industry. They are however expensive and geometrically limited when manufactured using conventional machining techniques. Additive manufacturing has the possibility to revolutionise the manufacture of such tools. The composition of hard metals consisting of a hard component within a binder phase in combination with laser based additive manufacturing can produce particular effects in the microstructural development of such materials. This article describes those particular microstructural developments which can be achieved in the powder metallurgical additive manufacturing of hard metals.
Kinderlosigkeit in Deutschland: Wie interagieren Bildung, Wohnort, Migrationshintergrund, Erwerbstätigkeit und Kohorte?
Authors: Bujard Martin
Published: July 2016

Childlessness is a widespread phenomenon in Germany. Previous studies show considerable variation in different population groups; the interaction of different factors is, however, largely unexplored. This article aims to fill this research gap by both dendrogram analyses and by estimating logistic regression analyses for women in the cohorts 1950-1969 based on Microcensus data from 2012. Multivariate results reveal that an urban place of residence, high education, no migration background, no marriage, and full-time employment largely increase the probability of childlessness. These factors cumulatively interact with each other, while the effects of pecuniary variables rather decrease. Three group-specific differentiations are remarkable: The low childlessness rate of women with low education is predominantly based on the effect of migrants. The effect of urbanisation does not apply to women with a migration background. The trend of increasing childlessness among highly educated women has stopped – at a high level: The childlessness rate of highly educated women without migration background in western German cities amounts to 38%, with a full time occupation it even rises to 51%. For western Germany, this paper shows an increasing polarisation between motherhood and career: For many women, motherhood is accompanied by a permanently reduced participation in the labour market. Conversely, the growing new opportunities regarding occupation, relationships and leisure often end in permanent childlessness.

Zusammenfassung

Kinderlosigkeit ist ein Phänomen, das in Deutschland besonders ausgeprägt ist. Bisherige Studien zeigen gruppenspezifische Unterschiede, jedoch ist das Zusammenspiel der Faktoren noch wenig erforscht. Diese Forschungslücke versucht der vorliegende Beitrag auf Basis von Dendrogrammanalysen und logistischen Regressionsanalysen mit Daten des Mikrozensus 2012 für Frauen der Jahrgänge 1950-1969 zu schließen. Die multivariaten Befunde zeigen, dass urbaner Wohnort, hoher Bildungsabschluss, kein Migrationshintergrund, keine Ehe und Vollzeiterwerbstätigkeit die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Kinderlosigkeit erheblich erhöhen und sich wechselseitig verstärken, während die Effekte pekuniärer Faktoren wegfallen. Drei Gruppendifferenzierungen sind bemerkenswert: Die geringe Kinderlosigkeit bei niedriger Bildung beruht überwiegend auf dem Effekt von Frauen mit Migrationshintergrund. Der Urbanisierungseffekt betrifft nur Frauen ohne Migrationshintergrund. Der ansteigende Trend von Kinderlosigkeit ist bei Akademikerinnen gestoppt – auf hohem Niveau: Eine Akademikerin in einer westdeutschen Großstadt ohne Migrationshintergrund ist zu 38% kinderlos, wenn sie Vollzeit arbeitet zu 51%. In Westdeutschland schreitet die Polarisierung zwischen Mutterschaft und Karriere weiter voran: Mutterschaft hat oft die Konsequenz einer dauerhaft geringen Teilhabe am Arbeitsmarkt. Umgekehrt führen die gewachsenen Optionen bezüglich Beruf, Partnerwahl und Freizeit häufig zu Kinderlosigkeit.
Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Kidney Involvement: New Insights

Published: July 2016

Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by vascular thromboses and pregnancy morbidity associated with antiphospholipid antibodies: lupus anticoagulant, IgG or IgM anticardiolipin or anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I. The kidney is one of the major target organs in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). However, beyond the known involvement of the kidney in primary and associated APS, we may be observing a new form of APS within the context of renal failure. This review describes the classical kidney manifestations of APS and provides new considerations to be taken into account.
Part-Load Performance Prediction and Operation Strategy Design of Organic Rankine Cycles with a Medium Cycle Used for Recovering Waste Heat from Gaseous Fuel Engines
Authors: Wang Xuan , Tian Hua , Shu Gequn
Published: July 2016

The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is regarded as a suitable way to recover waste heat from gaseous fuel internal combustion engines. As waste heat recovery systems (WHRS) have always been designed based on rated working conditions, while engines often work under part-load conditions, it is quite significant to analyze the part-load performance and corresponding operation strategy of ORC systems. This paper presents a dynamic model of ORC with a medium cycle used for a large gaseous fuel engine and analyzes the effect of adjustable parameters on the system performance, giving effective control directions under various conditions. The results indicate that the intermediary fluid mass flow rate has nearly no effect on the output power and thermal efficiency of the ORC, while the mass flow rate of working fluid has a great effect on them. In order to get a better system performance under different working conditions, the system should be operated with the working fluid mass flow rate as large as possible, but with a slight degree of superheating. Then, with the control of constant superheat degree at the end of the heating process, the performance of the combined system that consists of ORC and the engine at steady state under seven typical working conditions is also analyzed. The results indicate that the energy-saving effect of WHRS becomes worse and worse as the working condition decreases. Especially at 40% working condition the WHRS nearly has no energy-saving effect anymore.

The complex cross-talk between tumor cells and their surrounding stromal environment plays a key role in the pathogenesis of cancer. Among several cell types that constitute the tumor stroma, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) selectively migrate toward the tumor microenvironment and contribute to the active formation of tumor-associated stroma. Therefore, here we elucidate the involvement of BM-MSCs to promote osteosarcoma (OS) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells migration and invasion and deepening the role of specific pathways. We analyzed the function of aquaporin 1 (AQP1), a water channel known to promote metastasis and neoangiogenes. AQP1 protein levels were analyzed in OS (U2OS) and HCC (SNU-398) cells exposed to conditioned medium from BM-MSCs. Tumor cell migration and invasion in response to BM-MSC conditioned medium were evaluated through a wound healing assay and Boyden chamber, respectively. The results showed that the AQP1 level was increased in both tumor cell lines after treatment with BM-MSC conditioned medium. Moreover, BM-MSCs-mediated tumor cell migration and invasion were hampered after treatment with AQP1 inhibitor. These data suggest that the recruitment of human BM-MSCs into the tumor microenvironment might cause OS and HCC cell migration and invasion through involvement of AQP1.
Nuclear Receptor Regulation of Aquaporin-2 in the Kidney
Authors: Zhang Xiao-Yan , Wang Bing , Guan You-Fei
Published: July 2016

Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is a vasopressin-regulated water channel responsible for regulating water reabsorption through the apical plasma membrane of the principal cells of renal collecting ducts. It has been found that dysregulation and dysfunction of AQP2 cause many disorders related to water balance in people and animals, including polyuria and dilutional hyponatremia. Classically, AQP2 mRNA and protein expression and its membrane translocation are regulated by systemic vasopressin involving short-term regulation of AQP2 trafficking to and from the apical plasma membrane and long-term regulation of the total amount of the AQP2 protein in the cell. Recently, increasing evidence has demonstrated that collecting duct AQP2 expression and membrane translocation are also under the control of many other local factors, especially nuclear receptors. Here, we briefly review the progress of studies in this area and discuss the role of nuclear receptors in the regulation of water reabsorption via affecting AQP2 expression and function.

Photocatalytic water splitting using sunlight is a promising technology capable of providing high energy yield without pollutant byproducts. Herein, we review various aspects of this technology including chemical reactions, physiochemical conditions and photocatalyst types such as metal oxides, sulfides, nitrides, nanocomposites, and doped materials followed by recent advances in computational modeling of photoactive materials. As the best-known catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen and oxygen evolution, TiO2 is discussed in a separate section, along with its challenges such as the wide band gap, large overpotential for hydrogen evolution, and rapid recombination of produced electron-hole pairs. Various approaches are addressed to overcome these shortcomings, such as doping with different elements, heterojunction catalysts, noble metal deposition, and surface modification. Development of a photocatalytic corrosion resistant, visible light absorbing, defect-tuned material with small particle size is the key to complete the sunlight to hydrogen cycle efficiently. Computational studies have opened new avenues to understand and predict the electronic density of states and band structure of advanced materials and could pave the way for the rational design of efficient photocatalysts for water splitting. Future directions are focused on developing innovative junction architectures, novel synthesis methods and optimizing the existing active materials to enhance charge transfer, visible light absorption, reducing the gas evolution overpotential and maintaining chemical and physical stability.
