Geothermal Regime and Deep Temperatures of the Siberian Platform
Authors: Dorofeeva Raisa
Published: May 2018

The geothermal regime of the southern segment of the East Siberian platform, where more than 200 heat-flow measurements have been carried out, is well-understood. The present work deals with the study of deep temperatures of the southern Siberian platform, based on results of geothermal measurements in more than 70 boreholes. In addition, measurements of thermal properties have been made mostly on core samples representing the Vendian terrigenous deposits and Riphean magmatic and metamorphic basement rocks. The basement rocks may be subdivided into two groups, with thermal conductivity coefficients varying in the range of 2 and 3 W/m/K. Higher coefficients indicate the presence of carbonate-halogen admixtures. Studies have also been made of the borehole thermograms and temperatures at the bottom and top of the Moti suite, of lower Cambrian age. These boreholes vary in depth from 1300 to 6000 m, and the borehole temperatures attain values as high as 70оC. In this region average heat flow is 38±4 mW/m2. Higher heat flow values (45±6 mW/m2) are observed in the anticlinal domes and salt-dome crests, while low heat flow seems to be typical of marginal uplifts. This peculiar geothermal condition is also closely related to hydrodynamic features of the area, where underground seepage flow penetrates to depths of 3-5 km while conductive diffusion of heat prevails in the deeper crust. It is argued that such anomalous conditions exert influence on the dynamics of hydrocarbon accumulation, which in turn is also predetermined by geothermal conditions.

Authors: Weller Andreas , Sangin Sepehr , Buntebarth Günter , Melikadze George
Published: May 2018

The project uses results of temperature measurements in shallow boreholes to determine the geothermal gradients for a selected set of wells in Georgia. The hydrothermal flow in the Caucasus region driven by ongoing tectonic activities causes a varying temperature field that impedes determination of stable temperature gradients. Conventional temperature logging provides only a snapshot of the temperature distribution in a well. Therefore, the methodology adopted in this study is based on continuous stationary measurements with up to eight temperature sensors fixed at different depths in the wells. Temperature measurements have been performed in 14 wells using thermometers with resolving power of 0.01 K. The temperature field was recorded during periods ranging from 16 hours to 4 days. This practice of measurements enabled detection of thermal effects of fluid flows within the selected set of boreholes. Considering the 14 wells that were selected for this study, eight showed signs of stability in temperature increase versus depth and the remaining seven wells revealed signs of instability due subsurface fluid flows.

Pain for leg and back was measured pre and post-operatively was done by VAS which had 42 days of follow up. Standard Neurological examinations were conducted pertaining to muscle power (by MRC), sensory status and SLR test pre and post-operatively. Variables according to their nature were expressed in the form of Mean±SD, Median (Range) and Frequency (percentage). Mc Neumer’s chi square test and paired t test were used to see association between preoperative and post-operative Neurological status depending on their nature viz: qualitative or quantitative respectively in SPSS version 15.Out of 70 patients 74% were male and 26% were females. Mean±SD of patients was 37.6±13.0 years. Majority were Laborers after housewives. Illiterates, Poor lifting techniques were the most common characteristics in the respective headings of education and employment. Most common level of disc herniation was L4-L5, L5- S1 level (96%) where Prolapse and extrusion were most common MRI findings. As compared to pre-operative (3.4) muscle power 1st and 42nd day power were respectively 4.0 and 4.7 (p=0.001). Pre-operatively only 32 (45.7%) had normal sensation which improved to 38 (54.3%) and 51 (72.9%) respectively in 1st and 42nd day of surgery (p=0.001). Pre-operative mean SLR improved to 98.6 degrees in 1st POD and continued to be the same till 42nd day (p=0.001). All the MRC findings, sensory status and SLR values in each post-operative days were statistically significant with the baseline by paired t test (p=0.001). MRC and Sensory status had same pattern of improvement (r=0.0. p=0.04) unlike SLR which total improvements were see in 1st POD itself.In conclusion, muscle power and sensory improvement follows same improvement pattern whereas maximum SLR improves in the 1st POD itself.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Vol. 14, No. 2, 2017 Page: 8-15

Effect of Cold Rolling on the Transformation Kinetics of Sigma- and Chi- Phases in UNS S32205 Duplex Stainless Steel
Authors: Anelli V. C. , Gauss C. , Almeida D. R. , Sandim H. R. Z.
Published: May 2018

Duplex stainless steels have very good properties including good ductility, moderate toughness and good stress corrosion cracking resistance. These properties can be severely affected by the precipitation of sigma (σ) and chi (χ) phases, in particular ductility and toughness. The effect of cold deformation on the isothermal transformation kinetics of UNS S32205 steel was investigated. The steel was cold rolled up to 64 % reduction in thickness and annealed at 850 °C from 10 min up to 4320 min (3 days). Microstructural characterization used light optical and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements. Formation of intermetallics is much faster in the cold-rolled samples. After 4320 min, samples show the same amounts of each phase for all rolling strains. Results have been validated by thermodynamic calculations.
A Quadriparametric Model to Describe the Diversity of Waves Applied to Hormonal Data
Authors: Bouchard Thomas , Klich Amna , Leiva Rene , Pyper Cecilia , Genolini Christophe , Subtil Fabien , Iwaz Jean , Ecochard René , Abdullah Saman
Published: May 2018

Background: Even in normally cycling women, hormone level shapes may widely vary between cycles and between women. Over decades, finding ways to characterize and compare cycle hormone waves was difficult and most solutions, in particular polynomials or splines, do not correspond to physiologically meaningful parameters.

Objective: We present an original concept to characterize most hormone waves with only two parameters.

Methods: The modelling attempt considered pregnanediol-3-alpha-glucuronide (PDG) and luteinising hormone (LH) levels in 266 cycles (with ultrasound-identified ovulation day) in 99 normally fertile women aged 18 to 45. The study searched for a convenient wave description process and carried out an extended search for the best fitting density distribution.

Results: The highly flexible beta-binomial distribution offered the best fit of most hormone waves and required only two readily available and understandable wave parameters: location and scale. In bell-shaped waves (e.g., PDG curves), early peaks may be fitted with a low location parameter and a low scale parameter; plateau shapes are obtained with higher scale parameters. I-shaped, J-shaped, and U-shaped waves (sometimes the shapes of LH curves) may be fitted with high scale parameter and, respectively, low, high, and medium location parameter. These location and scale parameters will be later correlated with feminine physiological events.

Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that, with unimodal waves, complex methods (e.g., functional mixed effects models using smoothing splines, second-order growth mixture models, or functional principal-component- based methods) may be avoided. The use, application, and, especially, result interpretation of four-parameter analyses might be advantageous within the context of feminine physiological events.
Scattering Transform of Heart Rate Variability for the Prediction of Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Abry Patrice , Wendt Herwig , Kiyono Ken , Yamamoto Yoshiharu , Watanabe Eiichi , Hayano Junichiro , Leonarduzzi Roberto
Published: May 2018

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an identified risk factor for ischemic strokes (IS). AF causes a loss in atrial contractile function that favors the formation of thrombi, and thus increases the risk of stroke. Also, AF produces highly irregular and complex temporal dynamics in ventricular response RR intervals. Thus, it is hypothesized that the analysis of RR dynamics could provide predictors for IS. However, these complex and nonlinear dynamics call for the use of advanced multiscale nonlinear signal processing tools.

Objectives: The global aim is to investigate the performance of a recently-proposed multiscale and nonlinear signal processing tool, the scattering transform, in predicting IS for patients suffering from AF.

Methods: The heart rate of a cohort of 173 patients from Fujita Health University Hospital in Japan was analyzed with the scattering transform. First, p-values of Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used to identify scattering coefficients achieving significant (univariate) discrimination between patients with and without IS. Second, a multivariate procedure for feature selection and classification, the Sparse Support Vector Machine (S-SVM), was applied to predict IS.

Results: Groups of scattering coefficients, located at several time-scales, were identified as significantly higher (p-value < 0.05) in patients who developed IS than in those who did not. Though the overall predictive power of these indices remained moderate (around 60 %), it was found to be much higher when analysis was restricted to patients not taking antithrombotic treatment (around 80 %). Further, S-SVM showed that multivariate classification improves IS prediction, and also indicated that coefficients involved in classification differ for patients with and without antithrombotic treatment.

Conclusions: Scattering coefficients were found to play a significant role in predicting IS, notably for patients not receiving antithrombotic treatment. S-SVM improves IS detection performance and also provides insight on which features are important. Notably, it shows that AF patients not taking antithrombotic treatment are characterized by a slow modulation of RR dynamics in the ULF range and a faster modulation in the HF range. These modulations are significantly decreased in patients with IS, and hence have a good discriminant ability.
Overexpression of miR-1283 Inhibits Cell Proliferation and Invasion of Glioma Cells by Targeting ATF4
Authors: Chen Hao , Zhang Yi , Su Hai , Shi Hui , Xiong Qijiang , Su Zulu
Published: May 2018

It is well known that activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) expression is closely associated with progression of many cancers. We found that miR-1283 could directly target ATF4. However, the precise mechanisms of miR-1283 in glioma have not been well clarified. Our study aimed to explore the interaction between ATF4 and miR-1283 in glioma. In this study, we found that the level of miR-1283 was dramatically decreased in glioma tissues and cell lines, the expression of ATF4 was significantly increased, and the low level of miR-1283 was closely associated with high expression of ATF4 in glioma tissues. Moreover, introduction of miR-1283 significantly inhibited proliferation and invasion of glioma cells. However, knockdown of miR-1283 promoted the proliferation and invasion in glioma cells. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that the ATF4 was a potential target gene of miR-1283. Luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-1283 could directly target ATF4. In addition, knockdown of ATF4 had similar effects with miR-1283 overexpression on glioma cells. Upregulation of ATF4 in glioma cells partially reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-1283 mimic. Overexpression of miR-1283 inhibited cell proliferation and invasion of glioma cells by directly downregulating ATF4 expression.
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS AND COMPUTER SIMULATIONS TO SOLVE ACOUSTIC PROBLEMS IN THE MODERN CHURCH
Authors: SYGULSKA Anna , CZERNIAK Tomasz , CZARNY-KROPIWNICKI Adrian
Published: May 2018

Architectural acoustics of contemporary sacred buildings is still an under-appreciated issue. Many contemporary churches are not functional enough due to acoustic defects which occur there. The study discusses issues of the modern Catholic church, where acoustic problems surface as high reverberant noise levels. The building under investigation, i.e. the Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is the biggest contemporary church in Poznań, Poland, as its internal volume amounts to 16,800 m³. On the basis of in situ investigations, a computer model of the church was built and a series of simulations were carried out to determine correct treatment in order to achieve satisfactory acoustic conditions. The main assumption was to find such a solution as not to affect the modernist architecture of the church.

We present Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observations of the neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary Serpens X-1 during the early mission phase in 2017. With the high spectral sensitivity and low-energy X-ray passband of NICER, we are able to detect the Fe L line complex in addition to the signature broad, asymmetric Fe K line. We confirm the presence of these lines by comparing the NICER data to archival observations with XMM-Newton/Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) and NuSTAR. Both features originate close to the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO). When modeling the lines with the relativistic line model relline, we find that the Fe L blend requires an inner disk radius of

R
ISCO and Fe K is at

R
ISCO (errors quoted at 90%). This corresponds to a position of

km and

km for a canonical NS mass (

) and dimensionless spin value of a = 0. Additionally, we employ a new version of the relxill model tailored for NSs and determine that these features arise from a dense disk and supersolar Fe abundance.

Published: May 2018

Este artigo tem como foco estudar a obra de Cruz e Sousa, poeta de singularidade ímpar na lírica brasileira. Ele foi, sem dúvida, fundante para a lírica moderna de nosso país, pois inovou seu processo criativo, preso aos moldes parnasianos, para uma poesia, ainda que acanhada, de estrutura mais livre, abusada em sugestões sensoriais, sobretudo por meio das sinestesias visuais que conferem sentidos ampliados aos seus textos. Tais características fez com que sua produção chegasse até nós como um espectro de cores que nos faz ter uma cosmovisão da sua condição existencial. O Objeto principal desse trabalho são as cores preponderantes em cada livro e suas relações com a construção semântico-temática dos livros analisados. Neste estudo, as análises serão amparadas nas noções da semântica das cores de Chevalier e Gheerbrant. Também destacamos a importância dos estudos de Bastide, Coutinho, Moisés, dentre outros em nossa fundamentação teórica e analítica.

Neste ensaio, parte-se da apresentação do contexto das reorientações sobre a abordagem do texto literário nos discursos reguladores do ensino de Língua Portuguesa do Ensino Médio brasileiro dos anos 1990 para tratar emergência do formador de leitores críticos de textos literários, posição de sujeito a ser ocupada por professores de Língua Portuguesa do Ensino Médio atual. Na sequência, defende-se o argumento de que a denominação ensino de literatura não se alinha com as demandas atuais para a abordagem do texto literário nos anos finais da educação básica do Brasil, apostando na denominação trabalho com a leitura literária para isso. Finalmente, em um último tópico, elencam-se, com base em alguns autores cuja leitura integral este texto não dispensa, seis excessos que, a nosso ver, contribuem para distanciar, na escola de nível médio, o leitor jovem do texto literário. Trata-se de um texto cujo objetivo central é apresentar, de forma acessível, um painel das tensões que hoje atravessam a abordagem do texto literário em sala de aula para, com isso, estimular discussões em cursos de formação continuada de professores de Língua Portuguesa para o trabalho com a leitura literária no Ensino Médio.

The orthopterans of the rice agroecosystem in western Lomellina (Lombardy, Italy)
Authors: Giuliano Davide , Bogliani Giuseppe
Published: May 2018

Rice fields represent a valuable surrogate habitat for many wetland species, playing an important role for biodiversity conservation in human-managed landscapes. Despite the fact that several taxonomic groups have been thoroughly investigated in this agroecosystem, little is known about the orthopteran fauna which lives in and around rice paddies, especially in Europe. In this paper, we provide a first description of the orthopteran assemblages hosted in the rice agroecosystems of northern Italy, trying to evaluate their conservation value through an analysis of species ecological traits (habitat specificity and dispersal capacity). During field samplings in summer 2016, we detected 25 orthopteran species. The 24% of the community was composed by habitat specialist species and the 56% of the sampled taxa was characterised by high dispersal capacities. Rice fields are an extremely dynamic ecosystem, characterised by the continuous succession of flooding and drying periods and conditioned by many other farming activities. Consequently, the orthopteran fauna in rice crops is mainly composed of species well adapted to sudden environmental changes. On the other hand, rice fields represent a particular biotope, providing a suitable habitat especially for hygrophilous species, which are otherwise restricted to scattered marsh areas. In order to preserve orthopteran diversity in rice agroecosystems, sustainable farming practices should be applied, especially by preserving and restoring marginal semi-natural habitats, by reducing grass management intensity on paddy banks and by discouraging rice cultivation in dry soils.

Published: May 2018

Several species of the family Xeniidae, previously assigned to the genusCespitulariaMilne Edwards & Haime, 1850 are revised. Based on the problematical identity and status of the type of this genus, it became apparent that the literature has introduced misperceptions concerning its diagnosis. A consequent examination of the type colonies ofCespitularia coeruleaMay, 1898 has led to the establishment of the new genusConglomeratuscleragen. n.and similarly to the assignment ofCespitularia simplexThomson & Dean, 1931 to the new genus,Caementabundagen. n.Both new genera are described and depicted and both feature unique sclerite morphology, further highlighting the importance of sclerite microstructure for generic position among Xeniidae. Freshly collected material was subjected to molecular phylogenetic analysis, whose results substantiated the taxonomic assignment of the new genera, as well as the synonymies of several others.
Statistical Power in Nursing Education Research
Authors: Spurlock Darrell R. , Taylor John , Spurlock Darrell
Published: May 2018

Nursing researchers have been encouraged for decades to address the validity of their statistical conclusions in part by accumulating evidence from studies that are capable of correctly identifying relationships between variables when those relationships are truly present. However, it has been noted that only a fraction of nursing studies appear to have undertaken power analyses to help mitigate the risk of Type II statistical conclusion errors. This Methodology Corner article reviews some of the major aspects of power analysis procedures and reiterates recommendations that researchers who plan to use inferential statistical analyses also conduct a power analysis to guide decision making about target sample sizes to increase the validity of study findings.

This paper is concern about using multimedia technology for virtual education with puzzle for early childhood in Indonesia. A game is focuses on the introduction of objects around the neighborhood by showing images that Generate Automatic can adjust the child's condition aggressive or not aggressive. It play with android tab device to knowing respond of early childhood. This is due to early childhood conditions. In some cases children have normal cognitive abilities of children with different special character that has the capability of learning is slower. A game show a question to parent first. The level of games is from 0-1, 1-2, and 2-3 based on years old of early childhood. This study has the challenge to develop educational game conditions. As in the design phase, the visualization of colors, shapes, and the introduction of rules that will be applied to the system. In this paper we present to make early childhood became more relaxed and not aggressive in these educational games.

Entrepreneurial knowledge and skills can play a crucial role for young people in order to achieve a bright professional perspective. In this context, entrepreneur-ship education can make a significant contribution to the development of their en-trepreneurial attitudes and skills. It can inspire future graduates to develop and in-ternalize entrepreneurial mindsets and prepare them for the challenges of the fu-ture. This paper introduces four practices for fostering entrepreneurial skills car-ried out at Vienna’s biggest secondary school Vienna Institute of Technolo-gy/Technologisches Gewerbemuseum (TGM). Two of the presented approaches are realized by the TGM alone (the Junior Company and the Learning Office) while the other two are implemented in cooperation with the non-profit associa-tion Practical Robotics Institute Austria (PRIA) and the Automation and Control Institute (ACIN) of the Vienna University of Technology (iBridge and Mak-ers@School, the latter also with further partners).

Air Quality Predictions with an Analog Ensemble

Published: May 2018

Abstract. The authors demonstrate how the analog ensemble (AnEn) can efficiently generate deterministic and probabilistic forecasts of air quality. AnEn estimates the probability of future observations of a predictand based on a current deterministic numerical weather prediction and an archive of prior analog predictions paired with prior observations. The method avoids the complexity and real-time computational expense of dynamical (i.e., model-based) ensembles. The authors apply AnEn to observations from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) AIRNow network and to forecasts from the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ). Compared to raw forecasts from CMAQ, deterministic forecasts of O3 and PM2.5 based on AnEn's mean have lower errors, both systemic and random, and are better correlated with observations. Probabilistic forecasts from AnEn are statistically consistent, reliable, and sharp, and they quantify the uncertainty of the underlying prediction.

Abstract. We quantify the effective radiative forcing (ERF) of anthropogenic aerosols modelled by the aerosol–climate model CAM5.3-MARC-ARG. CAM5.3-MARC-ARG is a new configuration of the Community Atmosphere Model version 5.3 (CAM5.3) in which the default aerosol module has been replaced by the two-Moment, Multi-Modal, Mixing-state-resolving Aerosol model for Research of Climate (MARC). CAM5.3-MARC-ARG uses the default ARG aerosol activation scheme, consistent with the default configuration of CAM5.3. We compute differences between simulations using year-1850 aerosol emissions and simulations using year-2000 aerosol emissions in order to assess the radiative effects of anthropogenic aerosols. We compare the aerosol column burdens, cloud properties, and radiative effects produced by CAM5.3-MARC-ARG with those produced by the default configuration of CAM5.3, which uses the modal aerosol module with three log-normal modes (MAM3). Compared with MAM3, we find that MARC produces stronger cooling via the direct radiative effect, stronger cooling via the surface albedo radiative effect, and stronger warming via the cloud longwave radiative effect. The global mean cloud shortwave radiative effect is similar between MARC and MAM3, although the regional distributions differ. Overall, MARC produces a global mean net ERF of −1.75 ± 0.04 W m−2, which is stronger than the global mean net ERF of −1.57 ± 0.04 W m−2 produced by MAM3. The regional distribution of ERF also differs between MARC and MAM3, largely due to differences in the regional distribution of the cloud shortwave radiative effect. We conclude that the specific representation of aerosols in global climate models, including aerosol mixing state, has important implications for climate modelling.
Agricultural harvesting

Abstract. Agricultural activities can modify natural ecosystems and change the nature of the aerosols emitted from those landscapes. The harvesting of crops can loft plant fragments and soil dust into the atmosphere that can travel long distances and interact with clouds far from their sources. In this way harvesting may contribute substantially to ice nucleating particle (INP) concentrations, especially in regions where agriculture makes up a large percentage of land use. However, a full characterization of particles emitted during harvesting has not been reported. This study characterizes immersion mode INPs emitted during harvesting of several crops in the High Plains region of the United States. The Colorado State University Continuous Flow Diffusion Chamber (CFDC) and the Ice Spectrometer (IS) were utilized to measure INP concentrations during active harvesting of four crops in Kansas and Wyoming. Large spikes of INPs were observed during harvesting, with concentrations over 200 L−1 at −30 °C measured during a wheat harvest. To differentiate between mineral and organic components, a novel heating tube method was employed in real-time upstream of the CFDC to deactivate organic INPs in-situ. The results indicate that harvesting produces a complex mixture of organic, soil dust, and mineral components that varies for different crops. Electron microscopy analysis showed that while mineral components made up a large proportion of INPs, organic components comprised over 40 % of measured INPs for certain crops at warm temperatures. Heating and enzyme post-treatment of aerosol samples collected for IS processing indicated that bacteria, heat-labile, and heat-stable organics contributed to wheat harvest-produced INPs. These results indicate that plant material and organic particles are a significant component of harvest INPs and their impacts on ice formation in clouds and precipitation on a regional scale should be explored.

Abstract. An unprecedented extreme Saharan dust event was registered in winter time from 20 to 23 February 2017 over the Iberian Peninsula (IP). We report on aerosol optical properties observed under this extreme dust outbreak through remote sensing (active and passive) techniques. For that, EARLINET (European Aerosol Research LIdar NETwork) lidar and AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) Sun-photometer Cimel CE 318 measurements are used. The sites considered are: Barcelona (41.38º N, 2.17º E), Burjassot (39.51º N, 0.42º W), Cabo da Roca (38.78º N, 9.50º W), Évora (38.57º N, 7.91º W), Granada (37.16º N, 3.61º W) and Madrid (40.45º N, 3.72º W). In general, large aerosol optical depths (AOD) and low Ångström exponents (AE) are observed. An AOD of 2.0 at 675 nm is reached in several stations. Maximum values of AOD675 of 2.5 are registered in Évora. During and around the peak of AOD675, AEs close to 0 are measured. With regard to vertically-resolved aerosol optical properties, particle backscatter coefficients as high as 1.5∙10−5 m−1 sr−1 at 355 nm are recorded at every lidar stations. Mean lidar ratios are found in the range 40–55 sr at 355 nm and 34–61 sr at 532 nm during the event inside the dust layer. Mean particle and volume depolarization ratios are found to be very consistent between lidar stations. They range 0.19–0.31 and 0.12–0.26 respectively. The optical properties are also found very stable with height in the dust layer. Another remarkable aspect of the event is the limited height of the dust transport which is found between the ground and 5 km. Our vertically-resolved aerosol properties are also used to estimate the performances of two dust models, namely BSC-DREAM8b and NMMB/BSC-Dust, in order to evaluate their forecast skills in such intense dust outbreaks. We found that forecasts provided by the NMMB/BSC-Dust show a better agreement with observations than the ones from BSC-DREAM8b. The BSC-DREAM8b forecasts (24 h) present a large underestimation during the event. No clear degradation of the prognostics is appreciated in 24, 48, 72 h except for the Barcelona station.
