PROCESS OF GOVERNANCE IN ADVERTISEMENT REGULATION IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Authors: Saji Beena Salim , John Reshma Das , Nair Malini , Houjeir Roudaina
Published: March 2016

United Arab Emirates has grown in great leaps as a country which can claim very high achievements in different sectors of economy such as real estate, education, banking, retail, trading, telecommunications, airline and tourism, as well as in many other spheres. Complementing these developments, is a large of advertisement activities which are aimed at attracting and retaining customers who are very diverse in nature.  The advertisement industry hence is booming as the competition between companies is getting more and more aggressive. It is safe to conclude that with so many advertisements, competing for the attention of the young Emirati population as well as the working expat community, there is significant pressure on advertisement agencies to make their advertisements more captivating. This may be leading to an exaggeration of values that the organization can give through their products and services, and may use language that may become just more memorable than accurate (Al Tamimi, 2013). As in the other countries, there is self-regulation for advertising in UAE, but there is also complex set of regulations that incorporate different laws. This paper is an attempt to explore the methods and processes adopted by advertising agencies or organizations that create advertisements, to ensure compliance with these laws. The study used interviews with officials of advertising agency and government organisations which control advertisements, such as the ministry of information and municipality sections dealing with advertisements, to understand the processes and methods of ensuring governance in advertising. The study adds value to the existing knowledge of advertisement governance and gives insights into the UAE perspective.

Allegraphy and The Faerie Queene ’s Significantly Unsignifying Ecology
Authors: Barrett Chris
Published: March 2016

This essay undertakes two tasks. First, it suggests that the narrative elements within an allegorical text (here, Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene ) that do not participate in the allegory might rather belong to an expressive mode related to but distinct from the allegorical. I call this mode the “allegraphical”; while allegory depends on multivalent signification, allegraphy celebrates episodes of resistance to the imposition of such conceits. Second, this essay explores three such allegraphical phenomena within The Faerie Queene . These case studies—focusing on a woman, a horse, and a topographical feature—refuse to signify allegorically, instead maintaining their own subject-making literality. Their allegraphical labors outline an ecological hermeneutic—an interpretive practice that acknowledges the meaning-making possibility of a text’s interconnected elements when they refuse to be conceptually instrumentalized.
The Role of Experience in Defining Tornado Risk Perceptions: A Case from the 27 April 2011 Outbreak in Rural Alabama
Authors: Wallace Zebulon C. , Keys-Mathews Lisa , Hill Arleen A.
Published: March 2016

Esta investigación examina la manera en que experimentar un tornado influye en la percepción de riesgo de un individuo. Este trabajo usa el informe de los tornados del 27 de abril de 2011 en el sureste de los Estados Unidos para investigar las percepciones de los individuos en tres ciudades de Alabama. Las encuestas administradas en Phil Campbell y Hackleburg, dos ciudades que sufrieron graves pérdidas, se comparan con las respuestas de Red Bay, una ciudad que no sostuvo ninguna pérdida. El propósito de este estudio es determinar si la experiencia directa de un tornado influye en la percepción de riesgo de los mismos. La comparación de las respuestas obtenidas mediante los usuales análisis estadísticos sugiere que mientras que el 40% de la población bajo estudio informa de un cambio en el riesgo percibido de tornado, la experiencia directa es un factor de cambio menor de lo que se esperaba. De hecho, la percepción ampliada o disminuida, puede basarse más en la experiencia social compartida. Este estudio encontró que la experiencia va más allá de la experiencia directa.
Image and identity: Media literacy for young adult Instagram users
Authors: Newman Melissa J.
Published: March 2016

This article focuses on the importance of developing young adult media literacy skills in relation to Instagram use. Millions of young adults use image-based communication to connect with others on social networking sites. This form of ubiquitous connection has consequences for young adults' online, offline and parasocial relationships. Social media literacy results from understanding Instagram’s utility, the downfalls of social comparisons made between online relationships and how to better define genuine belongingness as it relates to mediated communication.

Published: March 2016

Abstract The North region is the second region in Brazil with the highest incidence rate of diarrheal diseases in children under 5 years old. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between rainfall and water level during the rainy season principally with the incidence rate of this disease in a southwestern Amazon basin. Rainfall estimates and the water level were correlated and both of them were correlated with the diarrheal incidence rate. For the Alto Acre region, 2 to 3 days’ time-lag is the best interval to observe the impact of the rainfall in the water level (R = 0.35). In the Lower Acre region this time-lag increased (4 days) with a reduction in the correlation value was found. The correlation between rainfall and diarrheal disease was better in the Lower Acre region (Acrelândia, R = 0.7) and rainfall upstream of the city. Between water level and diarrheal disease, the best results were found for the Brasiléia gauging station (Brasiléia, R = 0.3; Epitaciolândia, R = 0.5). This study’s results may support planning and financial resources allocation to prioritize actions for local Civil Defense and health care services before, during and after the rainy season.

As cores fisiológicas na ciência de Goethe: educação e fenomenologia
Authors: Bach Junior Jonas
Published: March 2016

Resumo Este artigo apresenta o ponto de partida de Goethe para a formulação de sua Teoria das Cores. A observação fenomenológica das cores fisiológicas é base fundamental para uma concepção hologramática do fenômeno cromático. Com seu método de pesquisa, Goethe não reduziu o fenômeno a representações mecânicas ou geométricas, mas focou sua dimensão qualitativa. A complementariedade das cores fisiológicas é um princípio inerente tanto ao todo, quanto às partes da Teoria das Cores. A fenomenologia da natureza de Goethe é uma unidade dinâmica entre subjetividade e objetividade. Sua compreensão exige a execução de um processo de educação dos sentidos e de educação para uma cognição qualitativa.

Abstract The semiarid region of northeastern Brazil, the Caatinga, is extremely important due to its biodiversity and endemism. Measurements of plant physiology are crucial to the calibration of Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) that are currently used to simulate the responses of vegetation in face of global changes. In a field work realized in an area of preserved Caatinga forest located in Petrolina, Pernambuco, measurements of carbon assimilation (in response to light and CO2) were performed on 11 individuals of Poincianella microphylla, a native species that is abundant in this region. These data were used to calibrate the maximum carboxylation velocity (Vcmax) used in the INLAND model. The calibration techniques used were Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), and data mining techniques as the Classification And Regression Tree (CART) and K-MEANS. The results were compared to the UNCALIBRATED model. It was found that simulated Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) reached 72% of observed GPP when using the calibrated Vcmax values, whereas the UNCALIBRATED approach accounted for 42% of observed GPP. Thus, this work shows the benefits of calibrating DGVMs using field ecophysiological measurements, especially in areas where field data is scarce or non-existent, such as in the Caatinga.

Authors: Queiroz Messias Firmino de , Almeida Francisco de Assis Cardoso , Fernandes Pedro Dantas
Published: March 2016

RESUMO Estudou-se o efeito de seis níveis de potencial osmótico (0, -0,2 -0,4 -0,6 -0,8 e -1,0MPa) induzidos por polietileno glicol-6000 (PEG-6000) sobre o vigor de sementes de dez cultivares de feijão (Phaseolus vulgaris , L.). O experimento foi conduzido em laboratório, em condições de temperatura e umidade controladas e substrato de papel-toalha e o delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial de 10 x 6, com 4 repetições, cada uma com dez sementes. Houve avaliação do comprimento médio da radícula, do comprimento médio do hipocótilo e da relação radícula/hipocótilo. A medição das plântulas foi realizada em todas as cultivares, para cada nível de PEG-6000, no momento em que uma das dez cultivares atingia o nível de 80% de germinação, ou tivessem decorridos 20 dias da instalação do teste, estando as plântulas com hipocótilo e radícula nitidamente diferenciados, com comprimento mínimo de 0,5cm. Pelos resultados obtidos, verificou-se haver influência do PEG-6000 sobre o vigor das plântulas. A cv. Diamante Negro foi a mais vigorosa em baixos potenciais osmóticos (-0,4MPa e -0,6MPa) e a Safira, a mais sensível. Sob condições de estresse hídrico, as radículas tenderam a se alongar mais que o hipocótilo e os genótipos menos tolerantes desenvolveram maior relação radícula/hipocótilo.

RESUMO Com o objetivo de se definir a lâmina e o intervalo de irrigação para a cultura do amendoim cv. BR1, um experimento foi conduzido em Rodelas, Bahia, nos anos de 1994 e 1995. O solo na área experimental foi classificado como Regossol com mais de 89% de areia no perfil de 0 a 80cm. A demanda evaporativa do ar foi superior a 8mm por dia. Foram testados três lâminas totais de água, 300, 500 e 700mm e três intervalos de irrigação, 2, 4 e 6 dias, em delineamento de blocos ao acaso e esquema de análise fatorial 3x3, com irrigação por sulcos. Verificou-se que a produtividade de amendoim em grão e em casca foi significativamente afetada pelos dois fatores estudados, sendo o máximo, 3235kg.ha-1 de amendoim em casca, obtido com lâmina total de água de 700mm e intervalo de irrigação de 4 dias; o maior índice de colheita, de 37,4%, foi obtido no tratamento com 700mm de água e 6 dias de intervalo de irrigação, e o menor, 16,87%, no tratamento com 300mm de água e 4 dias de intervalo de irrigação, para a variável amendoim em grão.

Published: March 2016

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da utilização de fosfina, associada a atmosferas ricas em dióxido de carbono, no controle efetivo de Sitophilus zeamais, em todas as suas fases de desenvolvimento, em grãos de milho, a temperatura de 29°C e 65% de umidade relativa. Os tratamentos compreenderam a combinação de atmosfera controlada (21% de CO2 e 79% de N2) e três doses de fosfina (0,25, 0,50 e 0,75g.m-3) e atmosfera ambiente e duas doses de fosfina (0,0 e 1,0g.m-3) em três períodos de exposição (24, 72 e 120h) totalizando 15 tratamentos. Para o trabalho, construiu-se uma câmara hermética, à qual foram acoplados um sistema para injeção e exaustão do gás e um dispositivo para umidificação do gás in loco e para controle da temperatura. Para se avaliar a eficácia dos gases em todas as fases de desenvolvimento do S. zeamais, fez-se a contagem do número de insetos adultos sobreviventes e como conclusão, verificou-se que, em se aumentando o período de exposição aumenta-se, também, a eficácia de controle, exceto para larvas de 2o ínstar. O controle efetivo (100%) das fases de desenvolvimento do Sitophilus foi obtido com os tratamentos de atmosfera sintética e 0,50 e 0,75g.m-3, no período de exposição de 120h.

RESUMO Conduziu-se um experimento em laboratório, com o objetivo de se estudar o comportamento germinativo de sementes de 10 genótipos de algodoeiro herbáceo (Gossypium hirsutum L. r. latifolium H.) de fibras médias, de promissora potencialidade produtiva e tecnológica, e identificar os mais e os menos sensíveis em baixos níveis de potencial osmótico (0.0, -0.2, -0.4, -0.6, -0.8 e -1.0MPa), simulados por polietileno glicol-6000; foi utilizado papel Germitest, num delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 10 x 6, com 4 repetições, cada uma contendo 50 sementes. Foram verificadas diferenças de comportamento entre os genótipos de algodoeiro herbáceo estudados nos diversos níveis de estresse hídrico; a percentagem de sementes deterioradas e de plântulas anormais, nos dez genótipos, diminuiu mas a de sementes duras aumentou, nos níveis de maior concentração de PEG-6000. As cultivares CNPA Precoce 2 e CNPA Precoce 1 são as menos sensíveis a baixos potenciais osmóticos (-0,6 e -0,8MPa), enquanto LG ROGERS e CNPA 7H são medianamente sensíveis. A linhagem CNPA 86-1195-1 é a mais afetada.

Authors: Antuniassi Ulisses Rocha , Saab Otavio Jorge Grigoli Abi
Published: March 2016

RESUMO Grande parte dos viticultores da região Norte do Paraná conduz a cultura da videira em caramanchão, o que dificulta as aplicações fitossanitárias. Muitos deles não têm condições econômicas para adquirir equipamentos tratorizados utilizando, assim, pulverizadores estacionários desenvolvidos pelos próprios viticultores. A aplicação é feita manualmente, de baixo para cima, sem auxílio de fluxo de ar, conferindo peculiaridades ao sistema. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as características do sistema, através da análise da porcentagem de área coberta pelas gotas e foi desenvolvido utilizando-se 4 tratamentos e 4 repetições, em blocos casualizados, incluindo-se diferentes bicos, pressões, diâmetro de gotas e volumes totais de calda, aplicando-se uma mistura com fungicida e corante fluorescente. A análise da cobertura foi realizada através de estimativa visual da área coberta pelo corante nas faces superior e inferior das folhas, utilizando-se luz ultravioleta e escala de notas predeterminada. Os resultados mostraram que a adoção de gotas menores não propiciou maior porcentagem de cobertura das folhas, porém houve interação significativa entre tratamentos, posições de amostragem e faces das folhas, em média, a cobertura foi maior na parte de baixo da planta e na face inferior das folhas. Os resultados obtidos indicam, ainda, a inadequação do equipamento, sugerindo a necessidade do desenvolvimento de novas técnicas condizentes com as condições do sistema de produção, ou mesmo a modificação do sistema de condução da cultura. A metodologia utilizada nas avaliações mostrou-se adequada aos propósitos do trabalho.

Published: March 2016

RESUMO Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a germinação de cultivares de melão em diferentes níveis de salinidade da água. Utilizaram-se três cultivares de melão (Honey Dew, Amarelo Agroceres, Eldorado 300) e cinco níveis de condutividade elétrica da água [0,15 (testemunha); 1,95; 3,52; 6,20 e 9,16dS.m-1]. Através da análise dos dados pode-se observar que as cultivares tiveram respostas diferenciadas quanto à porcentagem e índice de velocidade de germinação, em que as cultivares Eldorado 300 e Amarelo Agroceres tiveram respostas superiores às da Honey Dew e que todas apresentaram reduções para peso da matéria fresca total e de raiz, nos níveis 6,20 e 9,16dS.m-1 de salinidade.
ANÁLISE DA EQUAÇÃO DE PERDA DE CARGA DE HAZEN-WILLIAMS, ASSOCIADA AOS REGIMES HIDRÁULICOS PARA TUBOS DE PVC E POLIETILENO DE PEQUENO DIÂMETRO
Authors: Mello Carlos Rogério de , Carvalho Jacinto de Assunção
Published: March 2016

RESUMO Objetivou-se, com o presente trabalho, ajustar a equação de Hazen-Williams, a partir da equação de Darcy-Weisbach, aos regimes hidráulicos, melhorando sua precisão, e avaliar a variação do coeficiente C, com o diâmetro e a velocidade, mostrando a imprecisão gerada por esta equação em tubos de PVC e polietileno de pequeno diâmetro, quando nenhum ajuste é feito. Para tanto, trabalhou-se com transformações matemáticas a partir da combinação das equações de Hazen-Williams e Darcy-Weisbach; utilizando-se a regressão linear múltipla dos dados para o regime turbulento misto, modelou-se uma equação explícita para o fator f da equação de Darcy-Weisbach, aplicando-a às transformações matemáticas obtidas. Para os demais regimes, utilizaram-se as definições de f constantes em literaturas, sendo possível obter-se equações simples e precisas, não havendo necessidade de escolha do coeficiente C nem cálculo do fator f, facilitando e aumentando a precisão de dimensionamentos hidráulicos.

RESUMO Introdução Apesar dos progressos obtidos com a reforma na assistência psiquiátrica brasileira, percebe-se ainda despreparo dos profissionais da área da saúde quanto à competência em relação aos pacientes portadores de transtornos mentais. Objetivos Avaliar o conhecimento e atitudes de estudantes iniciantes e concluintes da área da saúde em relação a pacientes esquizofrênicos. Método Estudo transversal em que se aplicou uma vinheta e um questionário sobre um paciente portador de esquizofrenia a alunos dos cursos de Enfermagem, Medicina e Psicologia de faculdades de Barbacena (MG). Estabeleceu-se um escore para as respostas esperadas, comparando-se as médias dos grupos de estudantes. Resultados Amostra composta por 209 estudantes, sendo 81 (38,8%) do curso de Medicina, 61 (29,2%) de Enfermagem e 67 (32,1%) de Psicologia. Desses, 135 (64,6%) eram iniciantes e 74 (35,4%) eram concluintes. Alunos concluintes apresentaram maior escore médio quando comparados aos ingressantes, porém não foram observadas diferenças estatisticamente significantes na comparação do escore médio entre iniciantes e concluintes, e nem diferença entre os cursos avaliados. Conclusão Embora não se tenham observado diferenças significantes entre estudantes iniciantes e concluintes, em todos os cursos predominaram atitudes negativas e pouco conhecimento sobre o tema abordado. A instrução acadêmica deve ser aprimorada. Profissionais de saúde precisam se conscientizar de que suas atitudes geram maior impacto na sociedade que as atitudes da população geral.

Published: March 2016

Os consórcios feitos de forma adequada podem resultar em inúmeros benefícios ao agroecossistema e ao produtor. O objetivo foi avaliar aspectos fitotécnicos do rabanete e alface cultivados em consórcio no oeste goiano. Foram testados 4 consórcios (com 8 plantas de alface e 20, 40, 60 e 80 plantas de rabanete, respectivamente, C I, C II, C III e C IV) em relação ao monocultivo de alface (16 plantas) e de rabanete (80 plantas) por metro quadrado. O delineamento foi em blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Avaliou o diâmetro, comprimento e massa média das raízes do rabanete; o diâmetro médio do coleto, número de folhas e massa média da parte aérea das plantas de alface e a produtividade de ambas as culturas. Calculou-se o índice de equivalência de área (IEA). O consórcio não afetou o tamanho e peso médio das raízes do rabanete, entretanto, a produtividade do C I (0,46 kg.m-2) foi inferior ao C III (1,97 kg.m-2), C IV (2,25 kg.m-2) e ao monocultivo (2,05 kg.m-2). Para a cultura da alface, houve diferença estatística apenas na produtividade, que foi maior no sistema em monocultivo (2,84 kg.m-2). Somente o consórcio II (0,82) apresentou IEA inferior ao monocultivo (1,0). Os consórcios apresentam potencial de uso pelos horticultores da região.

Agronomic performance of intercropping between radish and lettuce in West goiano

Abstract: Intercropping properly executed can result in many benefits to the agroecosystem and the farmer. The aim was to evaluate phytotechnical aspects of radish and lettuce intercropped in West Goiás. Four intercropping systems (with 8 lettuce plants and 20, 40, 60 and 80 radish plants, respectively, C I, C II, C III and C IV) were compared to the lettuce monoculture (16 plants) and radish (80 plants) by square meter. The design was a randomized block design with four replications. The diameter, length and average mass of radish roots; the average stem diameter, number of leaves and average mass of the aerial part of lettuce plants and the productivity of both cultures were evaluated. We calculated the land equivalent ratio (IEA). The consortium did not affect the size and average weight of radish roots, however, the C I productivity (0.46 kg.m-2) was lower than C III (1.97 kg.m-2), C IV (2.25 kg.m-2) and monoculture (2.05 kg.m-2). To lettuce crop, there was statistical difference only in productivity, which was higher in the system in monoculture (2.84 kg.m-2). Only the consortium II (0.82) had less IEA than the monoculture (1.0). The consortiums have a potential use by horticulturists in this region.

Published: March 2016

The aim of this study was to assess the potential of amyloid precursor protein in peripheral granulocytes as a diagnostic biomarker for early detection of Alzheimer's disease. Immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry were used to evaluate amyloid precursor protein expression levels and subcellular localization in Alzheimer's disease. Much higher amyloid precursor protein expression was observed in some leukocytes from Alzheimer's disease patients, compared with samples from non-Alzheimer's disease controls. In addition, flow cytometry data indicated significantly higher amyloid precursor protein  expression in granulocytes from Alzheimer's disease patients compared with control values. No statistically significant differences in amyloid precursor protein  expression were obtained in lymphocytes or monocytes between the patient groups. In conclusion, amyloid precursor protein expression level in peripheral blood granulocyte is a potential biomarker for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
Investigating EFL Teachers' Attitudes towards the Effectiveness of Reading Metacognitive Strategies Regarding Their Academic Degrees

Published: March 2016

Xu (2012) stated that teachers' beliefs are more influential than teachers' knowledge on determining their teaching activities, so effective teacher beliefs about learners are of importance, and are considered as integral components of effective teaching. In other words, teachers' beliefs influence teacher consciousness, teaching attitude, teaching methods, teaching policy, and also strongly influence teaching behavior and learner development (Xu, 2012). With such an importance in teachers' beliefs and attitudes, this study tried to explore the teachers' attitudes towards the effectiveness of reading metacognitive strategies which are used by high school students. To do so, 91 teachers holding BA and MA degrees were chosen as the participants of study. They all had an experience of teaching English at different high schools of three Cities in Iran. These participants were asked to complete 34 item thesis questionnaire which investigated the teachers' attitudes toward the effectiveness of reading metacognitive strategy use. The results of statistical analysis indicated that although teachers holding MA and BA degrees had the same attitudes about pre-reading metacognitive strategies, they had significantly different attitudes about reading and post-reading metacognitive strategies.

The oceans hold a massive quantity of organic carbon, nearly all of which is dissolved and more than 95% is refractory, cycling through the oceans several times before complete removal. The vast reservoir of refractory dissolved organic carbon (RDOC) is a critical component of the global carbon cycle that is relevant to our understanding of fundamental marine biogeochemical processes and the role of the oceans in climate change with respect to long‐term storage and sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Here we show that RDOC includes surface‐active organic matter that can be incorporated into primary marine aerosol produced by bursting bubbles at the sea surface. We propose that this process will deliver RDOC from the sea surface to the atmosphere wherein its photochemical oxidation corresponds to a potentially important and hitherto unknown removal mechanism for marine RDOC.

Published: March 2016

Objective

To determine the acceptable level of positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for classification criteria for gout, given the type of study.

Methods

We conducted an international web‐based survey with 91 general practitioners and rheumatologists experienced in gout. Conjoint analysis was used as the framework for designing and analyzing pairs of 2 profiles, each describing a study type, a PPV, and an NPV. There were 5 study types presented: a phase III randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug versus prednisone for acute gout flares, a phase III RCT of a biologic agent for acute gout flares, a phase II RCT of a novel uricosuric drug of unknown efficacy and limited toxicity data, a case–control, genome‐wide association study of gout, and a cohort study examining long‐term outcomes of gout. PPV and NPV both had 5 levels ranging from 60–99%.

Results

The panelists in majority were male (65%) rheumatologists (93%) with an average of 19 years of practice, seeing 5 to 60 gout patients monthly. PPV was most highly weighted in decision making: the relative importance was 59% for PPV, 29% for NPV, and 13% for study type. The preferred PPV was 90% or 80%, with an accompanying NPV of 70% or 80%, dependent on study type.

Conclusion

Preferred PPVs and NPVs range between 70% and 90% and differ by study type. A single cut point can be a reasonable approach for all study types if a PPV of 90% and NPV of 80% is approximated.
Robust hybrid estimation and rejection of multi‐frequency signals
Authors: Carnevale D. , Galeani S. , Sassano M. , Astolfi A.
Published: March 2016

We consider the problem of output regulation for LTI systems in the presence of unknown exosystems. The knowledge about the multi‐frequency signals exosystem consists in the maximum number of frequencies and their maximal value. The control scheme relies on two main components: an estimation algorithm, to reconstruct the signal generated by the exosystem, and a controller, to enforce the output regulation property to the closed‐loop system. To tackle the first task, we propose a hybrid observer for the estimation of the (possibly piece‐wise continuous) number and values of the frequencies contained in the exogenous signal. The hybrid observer is particularly appealing for numerical implementations, and it is combined with a self‐tuning algorithm of the free parameters (gains), thus improving its performance even in case of noisy measurements. Semi‐global exponential convergence of the estimation error is provided. As far as the second task is concerned, a robust hybrid regulator is designed for practical rejection of the multi‐frequency disturbance signal acting on the plant. The result is achieved by exploiting the frequencies estimated by the hybrid observer. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is shown by means of numerical simulations.

Published: March 2016

Observation of the natural world can provide invaluable information on the mechanisms that semi‐aquatic living organisms or bacteria use for their self‐propulsion. Microvelia, for example, uses wax excreted from its legs to move on water in order to escape from predators or reach the bank of the river. Mimicking such mechanism, few self‐propelled materials on water, as camphor, have been previously developed, but weak points like slow locomotion, short movement duration, or shape restrictions still need to be improved. This study presents a totally green self‐assembled porous system, formed by the combination of a natural polymer with an essential oil that spontaneously moves on water for hours upon expulsion of the oil, with high velocities reaching 15 cm s−1. The structural characteristics of the natural polymeric composite are carefully analyzed and associated to its spontaneous movement. Surface tension experiments are also presented that connect the essential oil release with the locomotion of the porous composite films. This research work opens novel routes toward bioinspired natural materials that can be used for mimicking and studying the motion of bioorganisms and microorganisms, and for applications such as energy harvesting, aquatic pollution monitoring, drug delivery, to name few.
Mass transfer simulation on pervaporation dehydration of ethanol through hollow fiber NaA zeolite membranes
Authors: Ye Peng , Zhang Yuting , Wu Haifeng , Gu Xuehong
Published: March 2016

A multi‐layer series‐resistance mass transfer model was developed to simulate mass transfer behaviors of water/ethanol mixture through hollow fiber NaA zeolite membranes. The mass transfer through zeolite layer was described by Maxwell‐Stefan mechanism based on adsorption and diffusion parameters obtained from molecular simulation. The mass transfer through asymmetric hollow fiber support was described by dusty gas model involving Knudsen diffusion and viscous flow. It was found that the sponge‐like layer of support besides of zeolite layer made an important contribution to overall membrane transfer resistance while the finger‐like layer had less effect. When permeate pressure shifted from 0.2 to 7.5 kPa, the mass transfer resistance contribution of sponge‐like layer varied from 27.1 to 17.8%. Effects of microstructure parameters of support on mass transfer through membrane were investigated extensively. Large pore size and thin thickness for sponge‐like layer of support were beneficial to improve water permeation flux. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 2468–2478, 2016

Published: March 2016

Hydrogels with semi‐interpenetrating networks composed of poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc) and poly(aspartic acid) (PASP) have great potential for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. In this study, we aimed to synthesize semi‐interpenetrating PAAc/PASP hydrogels with improved swelling–deswelling properties via two‐step polymerization, in which the first step of polymerization was performed at 37 °C for 15 min and the second step, the freezing polymerization, was performed at −20 °C for 24 h. The synthesized hydrogels were characterized with field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The swelling and deswelling behaviors of the hydrogels in response to the ionic strength of the buffer solution were investigated. The Schott's swelling kinetic model was used to elucidate the swelling behavior of the hydrogels. The swelling and deswelling rates of the hydrogels prepared via freezing polymerization were faster than those of the hydrogels prepared via conventional polymerization. This was attributed to the large mean pore size of the freeze‐polymerized hydrogels. The PAAc/PASP hydrogels that underwent freezing polymerization had better swelling–deswelling characteristics than the PAAc hydrogels. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

MitraClip‐induced systolic anterior motion complicated by pericardial effusion: A case report
Authors: Levi Amos , Sagie Alexander , Kornowski Ran
Published: March 2016

Systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the anterior mitral leaflet is a well reported complication of surgical mitral valve repair (MVR). In the current report, we present a case of SAM with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) which occurred after transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) using the MitraClip device. LVOTO was caused by the combination of protrusion of the MitraClip device into the LVOT and underfilling of the left ventricle due to pericardial effusion and atrial fibrillation. Rapid clinical resolution and marked decline in LVOT pressure gradient occurred following surgical drainage and windowing of the pericardium. We conclude that SAM and LVOTO could occur after TMVR. Seeking and addressing reversible aggravators of LVOTO including pericardial effusion is essential and could potentially make the difference between a successful procedure and a failed one. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Interactions of Enolizable Barbiturate Dyes

Published: March 2016

The specific barbituric acid dyes 1‐n‐butyl‐5‐(2,4‐dinitro‐phenyl) barbituric acid and 1‐n‐butyl‐5‐{4‐[(1,3‐dioxo‐1H‐inden‐(3 H)‐ylidene)methyl]phenyl}barbituric acid were used to study complex formation with nucleobase derivatives and related model compounds. The enol form of both compounds shows a strong bathochromic shift of the UV/Vis absorption band compared to the rarely coloured keto form. The keto–enol equilibria of the five studied dyes are strongly dependent on the properties of the environment as shown by solvatochromic studies in ionic liquids and a set of organic solvents. Enol form development of the barbituric acid dyes is also associated with alteration of the hydrogen bonding pattern from the ADA to the DDA type (A=hydrogen bond acceptor site, D=donor site). Receptor‐induced altering of ADA towards DDA hydrogen bonding patterns of the chromophores are utilised to study supramolecular complex formation. As complementary receptors 9‐ethyladenine, 1‐n‐butylcytosine, 1‐n‐butylthymine, 9‐ethylguanidine and 2,6‐diacetamidopiridine were used. The UV/Vis spectroscopic response of acid–base reaction compared to supramolecular complex formation is evaluated by 1H NMR titration experiments and X‐ray crystal structure analyses. An increased acidity of the barbituric acid derivative promotes genuine salt formation. In contrast, supramolecular complex formation is preferred for the weaker acidic barbituric acid.
Formamide Synthesis through Borinic Acid Catalysed Transamidation under Mild Conditions
Authors: Dine Tharwat Mohy El , Evans David , Rouden Jacques , Blanchet Jérôme
Published: March 2016

A highly efficient and mild transamidation of amides with amines co‐catalysed by borinic acid and acetic acid has been reported. A wide range of functionalised formamides was synthesized in excellent yields, including important chiral α‐amino acid derivatives, with minor racemisation being observed. Experiments suggested that the reaction rely on a cooperative catalysis involving an enhanced boron‐derived Lewis acidity rather than an improved Brønsted acidity of acetic acid.
