Authenticity Key to Success in Life and in Legal Information, Mass. Lawyers Weekly, June 16, 2016. Available at http://masslawyersweekly.com/
Authors: Zago Susan Drisko
Published: July 2018

[Excerpt] "Authenticity is defined as something that is not false or an imitation. Savvy consumers pay a premium for an authentic product and treat with suspicion a product that does not ring true. We have a system of trademark and copyright protections that protect a company’s intellectual property rights and brands and consumer protections to protect the consumer from counterfeit and unsafe products. Now, there is model legislation that will provide a systematic way to protect, preserve and provide better electronic access to the bread and butter of our legal profession: our official state legal documents."
The Riddle of Harmless Error Revisited
Authors: Greabe John M.
Published: July 2018

Half a century ago, in Chapman v. California, the Supreme Court imposed on appellate courts an obligation to vacate or reverse criminal judgments marred by constitutional error unless the government demonstrates that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. But the Court did not explain the juridical status of this obligation or its relation to the federal harmless‑error statute, 28 U.S.C. § 2111. In the intervening years, commentators have struggled to make sense of Chapman. Some see it as a constitutional mandate. Others view it as an example of constitutional common law. In The Riddle of Harmless Error, written shortly after Chapman issued, Justice Roger Traynor argued that § 2111 should govern the field that Chapman occupies.The lack of clarity about Chapman’s pedigree has had the predictable consequence of leaving harmless‑error doctrine in an unsatisfactory state. Most basically, the Court has adopted a harmless‑error test that unduly privileges constitutional error vis‑à‑vis nonconstitutional error. Moreover, the Court has prescribed application of an easily manipulated jurisprudence of labels to determine whether an error is amenable to harmless‑error review. Finally, the Court has unnecessarily complicated the application of harmless‑error analysis on collateral review and, along the way, shown insufficient regard for rule‑of‑law values.This Article takes a fresh look at what the Constitution requires of reviewing courts when they conclude that a criminal judgment has been tainted by constitutional error. It suggests that new insights may be found by situating harmless‑error doctrine within a broader, transcontextual analysis of how constitutional remedies function. It then demonstrates how understanding what the Constitution requires of reviewing courts can serve as a springboard for necessary reform. Ultimately, it argues that the Supreme Court can and should jettison Chapman in favor of a simplified, unitary, and transcontextual harmless‑error test — reconceived as an elaboration of 28 U.S.C. § 2111 — that largely tracks the approach for which Justice Traynor argued. Under this test, a reviewing court would set aside any conviction tainted by error unless it concludes that it was highly probable that the error did not affect the judgment. A reviewing court also would set aside any conviction tainted by error if the error undermined fundamental constitutional values.
A measurement invariance investigation of the differences in shyness between adolescents and adults
Authors: Kwiatkowska Maria Magdalena , Rogoza Radosław
Published: July 2018

This study addresses the question of whether adolescents or adults are more shy. On the one hand, adolescents spend most of their days functioning as part of a social group (school class), which fosters socialisation processes. However, on the other, in the face of new experiences, shyness may intensify as a result of the development of maladaptive reactions or excessive adjustment to social conventions. Two studies were conducted on different age samples: 314 adults aged 18–35 and 247 high school students, aged 16. In order to verify the hypotheses, the Revised Cheek and Buss Shyness Scale (RCBS) was administered. As a result of confirmatory factor analyses, it has been demonstrated that: (1) the structure of shyness among adults and adolescents, as measured by the RCBS scale, could be either interpreted as unifactorial or three-factorial; and (2) there is partial scalar measurement invariance for both the unifactorial and the three-factor models. The comparison of the average latent mean scores suggests that adults are more shy than adolescents, regardless whether the total score or specific factors were compared.
Tornado-level estimates of socioeconomic and demographic variables
Authors: Fricker Tyler
Published: July 2018

Tornadoes create a threat to human life. Knowing the conditions that make people vulnerable to this threat is vitally important. Yet, socioeconomic and demographic data are not consistently available at the tornado level making it hard to obtain this knowledge. In response to this limitation, here a method to estimate socioeconomic and demographic variables in a consistent manner at the tornado level for historical events is implemented and assessed. The daysmetric method uses data from the 1990 and 2000 Census, as well as the 2010 American Community Survey together with tornado reports over the period 1995--2016. Results show that a typical casualty-producing tornado affects 34 people with an interquartile range between 4 and 198 people. Results also show that the 2 July 1997 Detroit, Michigan tornado with its 90 known injuries likely affected over 101,752 people. Comparisons between estimates using the actual path and a simplified modeled path show strong correspondence (percent errors averaging less than 10%) and estimates compare favorably (correlations exceeding .90) with known demographic numbers from a sample of tornadoes indicating the procedure provides useful information for statistical studies of tornado vulnerability. The code for making the estimates and the resulting numbers are available on GitHub.
A Case Report on Fever of Unknown Origin in a School Going Child– An Uncommon Answer in a Common Question
Authors: Shrestha Dhan Bahadur , Mool Suju , Karki Sijan
Published: July 2018

Fever is one of the commonest complaints in paediatrics outpatient as well as inpatient department. Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a diagnosis of exclusion given to the febrile condition lasting more than three weeks with temperature 38.30C or more with unknown cause despite of one week in patient care. Here we present a case of FUO in a child which was investigated thoroughly and managed on the line of enteric fever. However, the patient remained febrile. Hence, further investigations were undertaken and finally, bone marrow culture grew a very uncommon organism- Escherichia coli. The child was treated as per the sensitivity and responded well to treatment and was discharged after improvement. Here, we would like to present this case of FUO to highlight the possibility of bone marrow invasion by an uncommon organism as a source of fever in children.
MENINJAU KEMBALI TEORISASI MENGENAL DESENTRALISASI, COMMUNITY DRIVEN DELEVOPMENT, DAN KAPITALISASI AGRARIA
Authors: Rachman Noer Fauzi
Published: July 2018

Abstract: The article shows a theoretical debate on the consequence of decentralization policy and Community Driven Development (CDD) especially in relation to the way capitalism develop. The decentralization policy reshapes local government bureaucracy more responsive and accountable toward people’s needs, and the CDD facilitate rural and urban communities to manage collectively efforts to eradicating their poverty condition. Both are promoted by neo-institutionalist thinking in the World Bank and Civil Society within the same interlocking direction. Furthermore, I explicate critiques toward theory and practice of decentralization policy and CDD, launched by Vedi Hadiz, Toby Carroll, Tania Li, and Frederich Rawski. I connect those with the theorization of the ways capitalism develop as articulated by Paul Cammack, Michael Perelman, Massimo de Angelis and David Harvey. I argue that the presence of space of struggle, contestation and negotiation open the possibility for multiple forces to participate, or refuse to participate, to reshape the practice of decentralization and CDD, and furthermore the forces dialectically are reshaped because of their struggle, contestation and negotiation.Intisari: Artikel ini mengemukakan debat teori dari konsekuensi kebijakan desentralasi dan Pembangunan Berbasis Masyarakat (CDD) terutama dalam hubungannya dengan bagaimana kapitalisme berkembang. Kebijakan desentralisasi telah membentuk pemerintah lokal menjadi lebih responsif dan akuntabel terhadap kebutuhan masyarakat, dan CDD telah memfasilitasi komunitas perkotaan maupun perdesaan untuk secara kolektif berusaha mengatasi kondisi kemiskinannya. Selanjutnya, penulis mengutarakan kritik terhadap teori dan praktik kebijakan desentralisasi dan CDD, yang dikemukakan oleh Vedi Hadiz, Toby Carroll, Tania Li dan Frederich Rawski. Penulis juga menghubungkan teori tersebut dengan teorisasi tentang bagaimana kapitalisme berkembang seperti yang dikemukakan oleh Paul Cammack, Michael Perelman, Massimo de Angelis dan David Harvey. Penulis berpendapat bahwa keberadaan ruang pertarungan, kontestasi dan negosiasi membuka kemungkinan untuk berbagai kekuatan untuk berpartisipasi, atau menolak untuk berpartisipasi, untuk membentuk kembali praktik desentralisasi dan CDD, dan selanjutnya kekuatan dialektika dibentuk kembali karena usaha, kontestasi dan negosiasi mereka.
HUTANG NEGARA DALAM REFORMA AGRARIA STUDI IMPLEMENTASI MANDAT 9 JUTA HEKTAR TANAH INDONESIA
Authors: Wicaksono Arditya , Purbawa Yudha
Published: July 2018

Abstract: Discussion of agrarian reform is interesting especially on its factual implementation that is fully dynamics and not just a promise to redistribute nine million hectares of land. The existing concept needs to be reevaluated and re-discussed. Reorganizing inequality of land redistribution requires compatible and comprehensive rules. This paper uses a case study approach, giving an overview of the challenges to be addressed in order to implement agrarian reform properly. Cross-ministries coordination is inevitable, since in real practice access reform cannot be implemented linearly but requires holistic and systematic integrations with other ministries.Intisari: Diskusi reforma agraria memang menarik terlebih implementasi faktualnya yang penuh dinamika tidak sekedar janji untuk meredistribusi sembilan juta hektar. Konsep yang ada perlu diperdebatkan kembali. Menata ulang ketimpangan dalam redistribusi tanah butuh aturan yang kompatibel dan komprehensif. Tulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus untuk memberikan gambaran kendala dan tantangan yang harus diurai agar hutang negara dalam reforma agraria menjadi sebuah kebijakan yang terimplementasi secara tepat. Sinergi dengan lintas kementerian mutlak diperlukan sebab secara nyata akses reform tidak bisa bergerak secara linier tetapi memerlukan integrasi yang holistik dan sistematis dengan kementerian lain.

Published: July 2018

Abstract: Identification and regulation of abandoned land needs to be intensified, to contribute identification of Objects of Agrarian Reform (TORA). Mapping of potential abandoned land carried out by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) was considered not optimally implemented if compared between the setting targets with the achievements each year. Utilization of google earth imagery and Geographic Information System (GE and GIS) is expected accelerate mapping of potentialabandoned land. Google earth image was used to interpret land cover as the basis to identify land use. Land cover classification was done using supervised classification with maximum likelihood algorithm. The results showed that google earth image and GIS were able to present existing land use, and able to identifyland that has not been used as the permit rights granted. The result of interpretation and GIS analysis was expected to be used as tool to identify potential abandoned land, as the basis to regulate, accelerate and control abandoned land in Indonesia.Intisari: Identifikasi dan penertiban tanah terlantar perlu dilakukan secara intensif, salah satunya untuk memberikan sumbangan bagi Tanah Obyek Reforma Agraria (TORA). Pemetaan potensi tanah terlantar yang dilakukan Kementerian Agraria dan Tata Ruang/Badan Pertanahan Nasional (ATR/BPN) selama ini dirasa belum optimal apabila dibandingkan antara target yang ditetapkan dengan capaian setiap tahunnya. Pemanfaatan citra google earth dan Sistem Informasi Geografi diharapkan dapat membantu pekerjaanpemetaan potensi dan identifikasi tanah terlantar. Data yang digunakan adalah citra google earth untuk interpretasi tutupan tanah sebagai dasar untuk menentukan penggunaan tanah. Klasifikasi tutupan tanah pada penelitian ini menggunakan klasifikasi terselia (supervised) dengan algoritma maxsimum likelihood. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan citra google earth dan SIG mampu menyajikan data penggunaan tanah eksisting terbaru, dan mampu mengidentifikasi tanah-tanah yang tidak dimanfaatkan sesuai arahan dalam izin hak yang diberikan. Hasil interpretasi dan analisis dengan SIG ini diharapkan dapat digunakan sebagai identifikasi obyek potensi tanah terlantar untuk kemudian dijadikan sebagai dasar dalam kegiatan penertiban tanah terlantar sehingga dapat membantu percepatan penertiban tanah terlantar di Indonesia.
SONOR DAN BIAS “CETAK SAWAH” DI LAHAN GAMBUT
Authors: Larastiti Ciptaningrat
Published: July 2018

Abstract: Peat land has been intensively known as the target of creating idle land through state owned forest mechanism. It triggers a large scale development project such as an irrigated rice field called “Cetak Sawah”. By focusing on “Cetak Sawah”, we can learn how development project contains an inherent assumption of modern field rice system to overcome massive deteriorated peat land particularly since the forest fire disaster in 2015. The research was done a year after forest fire 2015 through an ethnographic method consisted of live in and several visits around February 2016-December 2016. The gathered data show that “Cetak Sawah” becomes the technocratic approach of peat land governance. Instead of controlling the expansion of palm oil industry, state has been continually blamed the former agricultural system known as Sonor (swidden agriculture) which will be easily considered as the main factor of undermined peat ecosystem due to its burning practice of land preparation. There are two gaps, first, “Cetak Sawah” has been proposed through negation of existing social differentiation. Second, “Cetak Sawah” is going to be predicted as the mean of peasant exclusion.Intisari: Lahan gambut telah secara luas dikenal sebagai target menciptakan tanah terlantar melalui mekanisme hutan Negara. Hal ini memancing pembangunan proyek skala besar seperti sawah irigasi yang juga disebut sebagai “Cetak Sawah”. Dengan berfokus pada Cetak Sawah”, kita dapat belajar bagaimana proyek pembangunan dapat mengandung asumsi yang tak terpisahkan dari sistem tanam padi modern untuk mengatasi lahan gambut yang semakin memburuk secara luas terutama sejak bencana kebakaran hutan di tahun 2015. Penelitian ini dilakukan setahun setelah kebakaran hutan tahun 2015 melalui metode etnografi yang terdiri dari laporan langsung dan beberapa kunjungan pada kurun Februari 2016 – Desember 2016. Data yang dikumpulkan menunjukkan bahwa “Cetak Sawah” menjadi pendekatan teknokratis untukpengelolaan lahan gambut. Di samping mengontrol ekspansi industri kelapa sawit, Negara juga terus menyalahkan pertanian lahan berpindah yang sering dikenal sebagai Sonor, yang sering disebut sebagai faktor utama dari rusaknya ekosistem gambut sehubungan dengan praktik pembakaran hutan. Ada dua gapyang diungkapkan, pertama, Cetak Sawah telah diusulkan menjadi negasi dari diferensiasi sosial yang sudah ada. Kedua, Cetak Sawah telah diprediksi sebagai alat untuk mengeksklusi petani.
Manufacturing a Multifunctional Countryside
Authors: Bivar Venus
Published: July 2018

Rural France was instrumental to the experience of les trente glorieuses. Not only did rural France fuel economic growth and urbanization through increases in agricultural efficiency, but it also served as an imaginary counterpoint to the hustle and bustle of a new mass consumer society. In the first two decades of the postwar period, a productivist logic of agricultural output dominated rural land use policy. By the 1970s, however, after experiencing problems of surplus, the state turned toward a multifunctional approach. Rural lands were used to create regional parks, environmental preserves,
and vacation properties. As both a site of agricultural production and urban consumption, rural France was operationalized to further the economic growth that defined les trente glorieuses.

The Audit of Transactions with Customer-Owned Raw Materials in Foreign Economic Activities
Authors: Proskurina N. M.
Published: July 2018

The specifics of audit of the transactions with customer-owned raw materials in foreign economic activities (FEA) are shown. It is determined that FEA, being risky ones, need special attention from an external auditor. When scrutinizing such transactions, the latter need to be aware that when a FEA transaction is signed, including one for processing of customer-owned raw materials, the requirements of legal and regulatory acts being in force in Ukraine need to be duly considered. It is demonstrated the Custom Code of Ukraine regulates the work arrangements with customer-owned raw materials in FEA and specifies custom regimes for FEA transactions, with implications for their taxation. The taxation, in turn, is regulated by the Tax Code of Ukraine and has specifics in assessment and payment of value added tax and profit tax. The eligibility for tax credit on the commodities purchased and thereafter exported as raw materials in the custom regime of processing occur on general grounds specified in Section 5 “Value Added Tax” of the Tax Code of Ukraine, and the tax liabilities occur on the date when a customs cargo declaration is submitted for execution. According to Article 39 of the Tax Code of Ukraine, taxation of profits from transactions with related nonresident entities has some specifics. An example of the authors’ review of transactions with customer-owned raw materials in FEA, recording of the results of auditor procedures and the obtained evidences in working documents is given. The format of a working document is subject to professional opinion of an auditor. The test of recording transactions on processing of customer-owned raw materials beyond the boundaries of custom territory of Ukraine is proposed as a working document. The working document, intended to confirm the fact of collecting auditor evidences in order to form the auditor opinion on financial reporting, covers the content of transactions on processing of customer-owned raw materials, information sources for an auditor (primary documents, accounts records), audit procedures and their results, with the auditor’s opinion about the authenticity of recorded information (its confirmation). The working documents enable for regulation and quality assurance of audit procedures, and for unification of the auditor’s actions.

Two systems developed in the Centre for Systems Science at Simon Fraser University over the past several years are described briefly. These systems permit easy ad hoc access to information in databases, often stored implicitly, for decision-makers. We argue for their relevance and utility and explain their architectural characteristics, providing pointers to appropriate references for specific theoretical and operational details. Examples are given to illustrate the power and usefulness of these systems and these examples are drawn from actual databases in use with Rogers Cablesystems Ltd. and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
Massively Parallel Dataflow Computer Dedicated to Real-Time Image Processing
Authors: Zavidovique Bertrand , Sérot Jocelyn , Ouénot Georges M.
Published: July 2018

This paper describes a massively parallel dataflow computer dedicated to real-time image processing. Two types of data-driven processing elements are embedded into a regular cubic mesh: 1024 low level custom dataflow processors (50Mops/s each) and 36 T800 transputers. The programming environment relies on an extensive use of the functional programming (FP) concept. An image processing algorithm first expressed in an FP-like functional syntax is converted into a dataflow graph, the nodes of which are real-time operators to be implemented on physical processors by direct mapping onto the array. The concepts and the architecture, both hardware and software, are explained in detail. We conclude with an example of a complete implementation: a connected components labeling working in real time.

Published: July 2018

Second-harmonic generation was studied in III-metal-polar GaN films grown on sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and formed into ridge waveguides. Broadband near-IR femtosecond pulses of an optical parametric amplifier system were injected by end-fire coupling and the nonlinear response was measured while tuning the central wavelength. A prominent peak was found at 450 nm for 1140 nm thick and 10 μm wide GaN waveguides. The measured second-harmonic peak was in agreement with the modal-dispersion phase matching condition calculated using the dispersion of the extraordinary refractive indices of GaN obtained by prism coupling.
Investigation of Hyperbolic Metamaterials
Authors: Gric Tatjana , Hess Ortwin
Published: July 2018

Composites designed by employing metal/dielectric composites coupled to the components of the incident electromagnetic (EM) fields are named metamaterials (MMs), and they display features not observed in nature. This type of artificial media has attracted great interest, resulting in groundbreaking theory that bridges the gap between EM and photonic phenomena. Practical applications of MMs have been delayed due to the high losses related to the use of metallic composites, on top of the challenges in manufacturing nanoscale, three-dimensional structures. Novel materials—for instance, graphene or transparent-conducting oxides (TCOs), employed for the production of multilayered MMs—can significantly suppress undesirable losses. It is worthwhile noting that three-layered nanocomposites enable an increase in the frequency range of the surface wave. This work analyzes recent progress in the physics of multilayered MMs. We deliver an outline of key notions, such as effective medium approximation, and present multilayered MMs based on the three-layered structure. An overview of graphene multilayered MMs reveals their ability to support Ferrell–Berreman (FB) modes. We also describe the tunable properties of the multilayered MMs.

Published: July 2018

Lyme disease has been documented in northern areas of Canada, but the source of the etiological bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) has been in doubt. We collected 87 ticks from 44 songbirds during 2017, and 24 (39%) of 62 nymphs of the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, were positive for Bbsl. We provide the first report of Bbsl-infected, songbird-transported I. scapularis in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia; Newfoundland and Labrador; north-central Manitoba, and Alberta. Notably, we report the northernmost account of Bbsl-infected ticks parasitizing a bird in Canada. DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and DNA sequencing reveal that these Bbsl amplicons belong to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (Bbss), which is pathogenic to humans. Based on our findings, health-care providers should be aware that migratory songbirds widely disperse B. burgdorferi-infected I. scapularis in Canada’s North, and local residents do not have to visit an endemic area to contract Lyme disease.
Fabrication of Al2O3/SiC/Al Hybrid Nanocomposites Through Solidification Process for Improved Mechanical Properties
Authors: Jiang Dapeng , Yu Jiakang
Published: July 2018

To reduce the cost of nanocomposites and improve the dispersion of nanoparticles, Al2O3np/SiCnp/Al hybrid nanocomposites are fabricated by combining liquid-state blowing and ultrasonic-assisted casting. The average grain size of the matrix decreases to 39 μm in Al2O3np/SiCnp/Al, which shows improvements of approximately 118% and 26% as compared to those of Al2O3np/Al and SiCnp/Al, respectively. X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) results confirm the presence of SiCnp and Al2O3np in hybrid nanocomposites. The dispersed SiCnp and Al2O3np are homogeneously distributed in the matrix and no clusters consisting of SiCnp and Al2O3np exist in the microstructure. Theoretical analyses also verify that there is little possibility for clusters to form in the melt. Good bonding between nanoparticles and Al is demonstrated. Neither cavities nor reaction products exist at the interface. The ductility and the strength of Al2O3np/SiCnp/Al are improved. The improvement in yield strength of Al2O3np/SiCnp/Al, in comparison with that of A356, is about 45%.

Authors: Seo Hyung Yoon , Jin Chul Kyu , Kang Chung Gil
Published: July 2018

This study involves performing direct and indirect hot press forming on ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) boron steel sheets to determine formability. The indirect hot press process is performed as a cold deep drawing process, while the direct hot press process is performed as a hot deep drawing process. The initial blank temperature and the blank holding force are set as parameters to evaluate the performance of the direct and indirect deep drawing processes. The values of punch load and forming depth curve were obtained in the experiment. In addition, the hardness and microstructure of the boron steel sheets are examined to evaluate the mechanical properties of the material. The forming depth, maximum punch load, thickness, and thinning rate according to blank holding force were examined. The result shows that a larger blank holding force has a more significant effect on the variation of the thickness and thinning rate of the samples during the drawing process. Furthermore, the thinning rate of the deep drawing part in with and without fracture boundary was respectively examined.

Published: July 2018

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are biocompatible nanomaterials that are currently researched for biomedical applications such as imaging and targeted drug delivery. In this investigation, we studied the effects of a single dose (injected on day 1) as well as a priming dose (two injections with a gap of one week) of 5 nm, 20 nm, and 50 nm diameter GNPs on the structural and biochemical changes in the liver, kidney, and spleen of mice. The results showed that small sized GNPs (5 nm) produced significant pathological changes in the liver on day 2 that gradually reduced on day 8. The medium (20 nm) and large (50 nm) sized GNPs preferentially targeted the spleen and caused significant pathological changes to the spleen architecture on day 2 that persisted on day 8 as well. There were minimal and insignificant pathological changes to the kidneys irrespective of the GNPs size. The animals that were primed with the pre-exposure of GNPs did not show any aggravation of histological changes after the second dose of the same GNPs. None of the dose regimens of the GNPs were able to significantly affect the markers of oxidative stress including glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in all of the organs that were studied. In conclusion, the size of GNPs plays an important role in their pathological effects on different organs of mice. Moreover, the primed animals become refractory to further pathological changes after the second dose of GNPs, suggesting the importance of a priming dose in medical applications of GNPs.

Resina Draconis is a highly valued traditional medicine widely used in Arabia since ancient times, and it has been commonly used as an antidiarrheic, antimicrobial, antiulcer, blood circulation promoter as well as an anti-inflammatory agent. The tree source from which this medicine orignates grows extremely slowly, producing a very low yield of Resina Draconis. To meet the increasing market demand, artificial methods for stimulating Resina Draconis formation have been developed and applied. However, the chemical differences between artificially induced Resina Draconis (AIRD) and natural Resina Draconis (NRD) have been rarely studied. The aim of this research was to explore and identify the chemical constituents of AIRD and NRD using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS) based chemical profiling. A total of 56 chromatographic peaks were detected in AIRD, of these, 44 peaks have had their structures tentatively characterized based on high-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) data, fragmentation ions information, reference standards data and literature review. In total, 40 peaks were found both in AIRD and NRD. The potential chemical transformation mechanisms active in Resina Draconis during formation were explored. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first evaluation of the chemical profiles of both AIRD and NRD. Furthermore, these findings are expected to provide a rational basis for the quality assessment of AIRD and the use of AIRD as a substitute for NRD.

Algal lipids have gained wide interest in various applications ranging from biofuels to nutraceuticals. Given their complex nature composed of different lipid classes, a deep knowledge between extraction conditions and lipid characteristics is essential. In this paper, we investigated the influence of different pretreatments on lipid extraction with supercritical CO2 by a lipidomic approach. Pretreatment was found to double the total extraction yield, thereby reaching 23.1 wt.% comparable to the 26.9 wt.% obtained with chloroform/methanol. An increase in acylglycerides was concurrently observed, together with a nearly doubling of free fatty acids indicative of partial hydrolysis. Moreover, an alteration in the distribution of glyco- and phospholipids was noted, especially promoting digalactosyldiglycerides and phosphatidylcholine as compared to monogalactosyldiglycerides and phosphatidylglycerol. At optimized conditions, supercritical CO2 extraction provided a lipid extract richer in neutral lipids and poorer in phospholipids as compared to chloroform/methanol, though with a very similar fatty acid distribution within each lipid class.

Published: July 2018

We describe a fiber-optic system to measure the liquid level inside a container. The technique is based on the extraction of the temperature profile of the fiber by using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) array. When the temperatures of the liquid and the gas are different, the liquid level can be estimated. We present a physical model of the system and the experimental results and we compare different algorithms to extract the liquid level from the temperature profile. We also show how air convection influences the temperature profile and the level of estimation accuracy. We finally show dynamic response measurements which are used to obtain the response time of the sensor. Turbomachinery monitoring is proposed as one possible application of the device.
La popularité de Germanicus en Orient : les figures d’un prince héritier sous Tibère
Authors: Hoët-van Cauwenberghe Christine , Kantiréa Maria
Published: July 2018

During his mission in Orient, in AD 18-19, Germanicus had the occasion to visit many cities and sanctuaries in Greece, Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt. The ancient historiography, in particular Tacitus, and the numerous epigraphic documents in his honour illustrate that the provincials received him favourably. Germanicus became Iulius in AD 4, according to a will of Augustus, and thereafter he represented the first successor of Tiberius, while his Claudian origins and his descendance from Marc Antony made him the most adequate member of the domus Augusta for managing a whole net of patronage in Orient. This article aims at examing the attitude, the acts and the benefactions of the young prince, as well as the reaction of the Greeks, in relation to the nature of the Principate of Tiberius and his policy towards the eastern provinces of the Empire. It seems thus that the memory of the young prince in the written and fi gurative monuments reflected also the Greek perception of the imperial power incarnated then by Germanicus himself.
