Extra-Wide Lane Ambiguity Resolution and Validation for a Single Epoch Based on the Triple-Frequency BeiDou Navigation Satellite System
Authors: Deng Jian , Zhang Aiguo , Zhu Nenghui , Ke Fuyang
Published: March 2020

The ambiguity resolution (AR) and validation of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) have been challenging tasks for some decades. Considering the reliability problem of extra-wide-lane (EWL) ambiguity in the triple-carrier ambiguity resolution (TCAR), a method for validating the reliability of the EWL ambiguity using a single epoch was proposed for the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). For the initial EWL ambiguity, obtained using a rounding estimator with a geometry-free (GF) model, the double-difference ionospheric delay was first estimated to construct a relative positioning model with an initial fixed ambiguity. Second, based on the theory of gross error detection and the AR characteristics of EWL, the second-best ambiguity candidate was constructed. Finally, among the two sets of ambiguities, the one with the smaller posterior variance was taken as the reliable ambiguity. The study showed that, for a single epoch, when only one or two satellites had incorrect ambiguities, the AR success rate after ambiguity validation and correction could reach 100% for medium baselines. For long baselines, due to the increase of atmospheric error, the validation was affected to some extent. However, the AR success rates for two long baselines increased from 96.82% and 98.44% to 98.80% and 99.67%, respectively.
How Does the Control of Grain Purchase Price Affect the Sustainability of the National Grain Industry? One Empirical Study from China
Authors: Liu Zhiqiang , Liang Hejun , Pu Dongping , Xie Fei , Zhang E , Zhou Qi
Published: March 2020

As one of the most important grain protection policies in China, the minimum purchase price policy prevents the fluctuation of grain output and protects the interests of farmers by regulating the prices of major grain varieties. For developing countries with a shortage of agricultural resources, represented by China, an in-depth study on the implementation effect and public satisfaction of this policy is of great significance for promoting the sustainable development of the grain industry. Based on the interest demands of the government, farmers, grain enterprises and consumers, this paper constructs a policy satisfaction evaluation model based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation. The research shows that the implementation effect of this policy has promoted the sustainable development of China’s grain in four aspects: improving farmers’ enthusiasm for planting, optimizing the structure of supply and demand, reducing the adverse impact of disasters, and ensuring the steady increase of output. However, due to the differences in natural resources and folk customs, the implementation effect of this policy varies in different regions.
Ironmaking and Steelmaking Slags as Sustainable Adsorbents for Industrial Effluents and Wastewater Treatment: A Critical Review of Properties, Performance, Challenges and Opportunities

Published: March 2020

This paper critically discusses the structure, properties and applications of ironmaking and steelmaking slags and their silicate-based variants as low-cost adsorbents for removing cations and anions from industrial effluents and wastewater. Undoubtedly, the performance of slag-based adsorbents depends on their physical, chemical and phase chemical properties. The presence of crystalline phases, for example, has a significant effect on the adsorption capacity. However, despite their low cost and ubiquity, their chemical and geometric heterogeneity significantly affects the performance and applications of slag-based adsorbents. These challenges notwithstanding, the efficacy of slag-based adsorbents can be significantly enhanced through purposeful activation to increase the specific surface area and density of adsorption sites on the surfaces of adsorbent particles. The synthesis of functionalised adsorbents such as geopolymers, zeolites and layered double hydroxides from silicate and aluminosilicate precursors can also significantly increase the performance of slag-based adsorbents. In addition, the ability to stabilise the dissolved and/or entrained toxic metal species in stable phases in slags, either through controlled post-process fluxing or crystallisation, can significantly enhance the environmental performance of slag-based adsorbents. Most critical in the design of future slag-based adsorbents is the integration of the engineered properties of molten and solidified slags to the recovery and stabilisation of dissolved and/or entrained metals.
Self-Organizing Map Network-Based Soil and Water Conservation Partitioning for Small Watersheds: Case Study Conducted in Xiaoyang Watershed, China
Authors: Wang Lingxia , Li Zhongwu , Wang Danyang , Hu Xiaoqian , Ning Ke
Published: March 2020

Soil and water conservation partitioning (SWCP) considers complex environmental statutes and development demands and serves as a scientific basis for conducting soil erosion management and practice. However, few studies have researched partitioning in small watersheds (< 50 km2), and guidelines for enabling region-specific measures are lacking. In this study, the Xiaoyang watershed located in the red soil region of southern China was selected as a representative small watershed in which to conduct partitioning. The pressure–state–response (PSR) model was used as a framework for establishing an indicator system that included soil erosion sensitivity, the soil erosion condition, and ecosystem services. With three soil and water conservation variables as the input layer, a one-dimensional self-organizing map was applied to identify clusters in the small watershed. The silhouette width was evaluated to determine the optimal number of regions. Based on the associated results, the Xiaoyang watershed was divided into five regions accounting for 82%, 9%, 8%, 2%, and 1% of the total area, respectively. This study provides a framework on which region-specific soil erosion measures can be planned, and it also provides a partitioning method that can be employed in other areas.
Studying Industrial Decarbonisation: Developing an Interdisciplinary Understanding of the Conditions for Transformation in Energy-Intensive Natural Resource-Based Industry
Authors: Svensson Oscar , Khan Jamil , Hildingsson Roger
Published: March 2020

The ambition to keep global warming well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, as recognised in the Paris Agreement, implies a reorientation towards low-carbon societal development and, ultimately, the decarbonisation of human societies and economies. While climate policy has been geared towards achieving set emission reduction targets, the decarbonisation of key socioeconomic sectors such as energy-intensive natural resource-based industries (ENRIs) has not yet been sufficiently addressed, neither politically nor in science. Decarbonising the ENRIs is a complex societal problem that will require structural transformation technologically as well as socially. Understanding the conditions for transformative change therefore necessitates integrated knowledge from multiple perspectives of different research fields. In this paper, we examine the potential of combining three different research fields and critically scrutinize the challenges to integration for understanding the conditions for industrial decarbonisation: energy system analysis, sustainability transition research and policy studies. We argue that these perspectives are complementary—a fundamental condition for fruitful integration—but not easily compatible since they are sometimes based on different ontological assumptions. The research fields are in themselves heterogeneous, which poses additional challenges to an integrated research approach. Drawing on experiences from a Swedish research project (GIST2050) on industrial decarbonisation, we suggest a modest approach to integrated research that could progressively develop from multidisciplinary exchange towards more integrated forms of interdisciplinarity by means of cross-disciplinary dialogue and understanding.

Soil phosphorus (P) is a vital but limited element which is usually leached from the soil via the drainage process. Soil phosphorus as a soluble substance can be delivered through agricultural fields by runoff or soil loss. It is one of the most essential nutrients that affect the sustainability of crops as well as the energy transfer for living organisms. Therefore, an accurate simulation of soil phosphorus, which is considered as a point source pollutant in elevated contents, must be performed. Considering a crucial issue for a sustainable soil and water management, an effective soil phosphorus assessment in the current research was conducted with the aim of examining the capability of five different wavelet-based data-driven models: gene expression programming (GEP), neural networks (NN), random forest (RF), multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS), and support vector machine (SVM) in modeling soil phosphorus (P). In order to achieve this goal, several parameters, including soil pH, organic carbon (OC), clay content, and soil P data, were collected from different regions of the Neyshabur plain, Khorasan-e-Razavi Province (Northeast Iran). First, a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was applied to the pH, OC, and clay as the inputs and their subcomponents were utilized in the applied data-driven techniques. Statistical Gamma test was also used for identifying which effective soil parameter is able to influence soil P. The applied methods were assessed through 10-fold cross-validation scenarios. Our results demonstrated that the wavelet–GEP (WGEP) model outperformed the other models with respect to various validations, such as correlation coefficient (R), scatter index (SI), and Nash–Sutcliffe coefficient (NS) criteria. The GEP model improved the accuracy of the MARS, RF, SVM, and NN models with respect to SI-NS (By comparing the SI values of the GEP model with other models namely MARS, RF, SVM, and NN, the outputs of GEP showed more accuracy by 35%, 30%, 40%, 50%, respectively. Similarly, the results of the GEP outperformed the other models by 3.1%, 2.3%, 4.3%, and 7.6%, comparing their NS values.) by 35%-3.1%, 30%-2.3%, 40%-4.3%, and 50%-7.6%, respectively.

Published: March 2020

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage among HIV-infected tuberculosis (HIV-TB) patients has been suboptimal in Myanmar and the reasons are unknown. We aimed to assess the ART uptake among HIV-TB patients in public health facilities of Ayeyawady Region from July 2017–June 2018 and explore the barriers for non-initiation of ART. We conducted an explanatory mixed-methods study with a quantitative component (cohort analysis of secondary programme data) followed by a descriptive qualitative component (thematic analysis of in-depth interviews of 22 providers and five patients). Among 12,447 TB patients, 11,057 (89%) were HIV-tested and 627 (5.7%) were HIV-positive. Of 627 HIV-TB patients, 446 (71%) received ART during TB treatment (86 started on ART prior to TB treatment and rest started after TB treatment). Among the 181 patients not started on ART, 60 (33%) died and 41 (23%) were lost-to-follow-up. Patient-related barriers included geographic and economic constraints, poor awareness, denial of HIV status, and fear of adverse drug effects. The health system barriers included limited human resource, provision of ART on ‘fixed’ days only, weaknesses in counselling, referral and feedback mechanism, and clinicians’ reluctance to start ART early due to concerns about immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. We urge the national TB and HIV programs to take immediate actions to improve the ART uptake.

Pigs are considered a “mixing vessel” that can produce new influenza strains through genetic reassortments, which pose a threat to public health and cause economic losses worldwide. The timely surveillance of the epidemiology of the swine influenza virus is of importance for prophylactic action. In this study, 15 H1N1, one H1N2, and four H3N2 strains were isolated from a total of 4080 nasal swabs which were collected from 20 pig farms in three provinces in China between 2016 and 2019. All the isolates were clustered into four genotypes. A new genotype represented by the H1N2 strain was found, whose fragments came from the triple reassortant H1N2 lineage, classical swine influenza virus (cs-H1N1) lineage, and 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus lineage. A/Sw/HB/HG394/2018(H1N1), which was clustered into the cs-H1N1 lineage, showed a close relationship with the 1918 pandemic virus. Mutations determining the host range specificity were found in the hemagglutinin of all isolates, which indicated that all the isolates had the potential for interspecies transmission. To examine pathogenicity, eight isolates were inoculated into 6-week-old female BALB/c mice. The isolates replicated differently, producing different viral loadings in the mice; A/Swine/HB/HG394/2018(H1N1) replicated the most efficiently. This suggested that the cs-H1N1 reappeared, and more attention should be given to the new pandemic to pigs. These results indicated that new reassortments between the different strains occurred, which may increase potential risks to human health. Continuing surveillance is imperative to monitor swine influenza A virus evolution.
Politics, Eugenics, and Yeats's Radio Broadcasts
Authors: Dinsman Melissa
Published: March 2020

Much has been written about the right-wing politics and eugenicist sympathies of Yeats’s late-1930s poetry in general and about On the Boiler in particular. Yeats’s focus on Ireland’s degeneration and his calls for its regeneration through cultural (and even biological methods) coincided with his dalliance with the Irish Blueshirts and his frustrations with the transformations of the Irish Free State under Éamon de Valera. However, these years also proved to be Yeats’s most active in terms of radio broadcasting, with six of his nine broadcasts made between 1937 and 1938. In this essay, I read Yeats’s broadcasts, in particular “In the Poet’s Pub,” “In the Poet’s Parlour,” and “My Own Poetry” alongside On the Boiler to show how themes of degeneration and regeneration link these works. As a medium, radio could advance the cultural degeneration and pandering to the masses to which Yeats was opposed. However, it was also within radio’s capabilities to control modes of broadcasting, influencing the public and regenerating Irish culture through the dissemination of poetry.
Teaching "Problematic" Yeats: Relevance Without Recuperation
Authors: Preston Carrie J.
Published: March 2020

In the era of #MeToo and #SayHerName, internet “callout culture,”1 Trumpism, Brexit, and an unprecedented global crisis of forced displacement—all abundantly represented in various forms of media—many college students are endlessly tuned-in to the most recent culture wars. Why and how do we teach W. B. Yeats today? I studied Yeats’s “Leda and the Swan” (1924) in college as a poem about myth, centered on an epistemological question: “Did she put on his knowledge with his power[…]?” My students today consider it a “rape poem.” We celebrate the centennial of Yeats’s even-more-famous “The Second Coming” (1919), a poem I studied as a prophetic revision of the Christian apocalypse for the post-World War I moment. My current students worry about Yeats being sacrilegious and exemplifying cultural appropriation with his use of stereotypical imagery of the Middle East. Did I even recognize that the poem was set in the Middle East when I was in college? I have long acknowledged that my students teach me as much as I teach them, and that literature’s power and relevance become evident as it impacts subsequent generations in different ways.
Yeats's Queer Dramaturgies: Oscar Wilde, Narcissus, and Melancholy Masculinities in Calvary
Authors: Balázs Zsuzsanna
Published: March 2020

This article opens up Yeats’s Calvary (1920) for new contemporary queer theatrical interpretations by addressing the tension between dramaturgies of exclusion and inclusion as well as between the authority of masculinity and the transgressive counter-authority of effeminacy and melancholy masculinities. Due to Yeats’s anti-democratic and elitist remarks and his problematic responses to authoritarian political performance in Europe and Ireland, his theatre is often seen as a space which fosters exclusion, conventional notions of heroism, and sexual polarization. Even though the authoritarian and elitist aspects of Yeats’s life and work cannot be denied, his rich queer and feminist networks, and most importantly his sympathy for Oscar Wilde and Roger Casement changed and shaped the representations of gender in his plays in considerable ways. Thanks to these influences, Yeats’s drama took significant steps towards creating space for a queer dramaturgical epistemology which refuses totalizing and homogenizing (hetero)normative frames, mostly those of hyper-masculinity, Carlylian views of heroism and sexual/gender polarization. Through the lens of performance and queer theory, this article highlights the anti-normative and anti-authoritarian potential of Yeats’s theatre in the context of Wilde’s influence. Yeats does not mention Wilde in his notes to Calvary, but his essays about Wilde prove that he identified the hardships of Wilde’s life with those of Christ and also Lazarus even more than two decades after Wilde’s death. This study also illustrates how the use of the unhappy Lazarus motif and the implicit references to the myth of Narcissus in Calvary can serve to express sympathy for Wilde and precarious, stigmatized lives in general and can thus convey vital messages about queerness today.
W.B. Yeats and the End of the World
Authors: Quinn Justin
Published: March 2020

This article explores the connection between current ideas of ecological apocalypse and cultural form. The philosopher Timothy Morton argues that certain late modernist forms are more amenable to the imaginative representation of what he calls hyperobjects (especially, the hyperobject of global warming). However, through a consideration of Yeats’s formal choices when he faced his own apocalypse, we can broaden our ideas of viable cultural responses for our own moment. According to Barry Shiels, Yeats stands at the beginning of twentieth-century world literature idiom that draws on a expansive range of global cultural contexts: his “global poetry” enables to take on the theme of the globe’s end. Particularly, Yeats’s lifelong use of rhyme indicates that older traditions offer feasible artistic responses, beyond the protocols of late modernism.
Hurricane Florence Flooding in Georgetown County: A Qualitative Explanation of the Interactions of Estuary and Tidal River
Authors: Williams Thomas M. , Hitchcock Daniel , Song Bo , O’Halloran Thomas
Published: March 2020

This paper examines data from 18 USGS gauges in the lower Pee Dee Basin in an effort to explain the behavior of the flooding following Hurricane Florence (2018) in Georgetown County, South Carolina. Despite record or near-record flooding in all the tributaries to the Winyah Bay estuary, water levels near the city of Georgetown were well below predicted heights. Floodplain storage in the lower Great Pee Dee, Lynches, and Little Pee Dee River valleys stored over 1.2 million acre-feet of floodwaters, delaying peak stage near Bucksport for five days and reducing peak flow into the Winyah Bay tidal river/estuary system by nearly 50%. An unknown amount of flow from the Winyah Bay tidal river/estuary system flowed through the Atlantic Intracoastal Water Way to Little River rather than through Winyah Bay. The resulting freshwater flow to Winyah Bay only moved the point of tidal stagnation (where upstream tidal flow balances downstream freshwater flow) to near Georgetown. Since the city of Georgetown was near the point of stagnation, water level there was driven by ocean tidal height rather than river flood stage. The lack of discharge data from the tidal rivers in Georgetown County prevents evaluation of the importance of each of these factors and will limit efforts to make quantitative predictions of future flooding in the county.
COMPARING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HYFLEX ROTARY AND HAND – OPERATED&NBSP; INSTRUMENTS IN PREPARING MESIO-BUCCAL ROOT CANALS OF MANDIBULAR PERMANENT FIRST MOLARS
Authors: Tran Tan Tai , Le Thi Quynh Thu , Le Ha Thuy Nhung
Published: March 2020

Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of Hyflex rotary and NiTiflex hand-operated instruments in regard to 4 parameters of root canal preparation: the working time, the alteration of canal curvature and working length, obturating efficacy.
Materials and methods: A total of 20 mesio-buccal root canals of mandibular first molars were randomly divided into two similar groups. Group 1 root canals were prepared with Hyflex rotary files according to the manufacter’s instructions. Group 2 with NiTi manual instruments in crown-down technique. Based on radiographs taken prior to instrumentation with the initial instruments inserted into the canals, the 2 groups were balanced with respect to the angle of canal curvature and working length. Canals were prepared using a crown - down preparation technique as instructed by the manufacturer. Group 1 was prepared by rotary Hyflex files and group 2 was prepared by NiTiflex hand-operated instruments. The assessment of changes of canal curvature and working length was based on radiographs taken prior and post instrumentation. The time required for canal preparation was recorded for each specimen. Postoperative teeth were examined clinically and radiographically after 1 week and 3 months. Research design was prospective clinical trials, group comparison. Data was statistically analysed using the SPSS 16.0 software.
Results: Rotary Hyflex files prepared significantly faster and maintained the original canal curvature better than hand - operated Nitiflex files (p < 0.05). There was no significant differences in maintaining initial working length of two groups (p > 0.05) and both hand NiTiflex and rotary Hyflex instruments showed 1 case of ledge formation for each, 1 NiTiflex file separation and no perforation or apical transportion. Three-month clinical results were equal: in rotary Hyflex group, 90% teeth of successful result, 10% teeth in suspect; in NiTiflex hand-operated group, 80% ratio of successfully- treated teeth, 10% suspect and 10% failing result.
Conclusions: Under the conditions of this clinical study, both instruments were safe to use, showed equally efficacy in preparing root canals and endodontic clinical results. However, rotary Hyflex significantly reduced working time and respected original canal curvature better than hand–operated NiTiflex files, with higher treatment cost from 9 to 10 times.

Netflix, “más acá” de los contenidos: la interfaz y la plataforma
Authors: González Leandro
Published: March 2020

El artículo analiza Netflix con prescindencia de sus contenidos. Desde el marco de la ecología de los medios, argumenta que las nociones de interfaz y plataforma constituyen herramientas propicias para comprender este tipo de fenómenos contemporáneos. El texto se organiza del siguiente modo: en primer lugar, se sitúa el objeto de estudio bajo la teoría de la no neutralidad del código, con referencias al origen y a la actualidad de la misma. En segundo lugar, se busca responder qué implica la aparición de Netflix en la historia de la mediatización audiovisual, con el objetivo de reponer el contexto mediático y dar cuenta de los múltiples vínculos que guarda con sus antecedentes históricos (en particular en lo que respecta a géneros y estilos). En tercer lugar, se despliega un análisis empírico y sincrónico de diversas interfaces de la plataforma: partiendo de la comparación en distintos dispositivos técnicos, se argumentará que no existe una única interfaz de Netflix, sino que ésta varía de acuerdo a los condicionamientos de software y hardware. El texto cierra con algunas reflexiones finales que, retomando los principales hallazgos, apuntan a mantener abierta la mirada analítica y reflexiva sobre el dinamismo de las plataformas mediáticas.

En un texto publicado en 1985, Eliseo Verón exponía: “dos soportes se dirigen a un mismo sector, tienen las mismas rúbricas, tratan los temas de la misma manera. Uno progresa, y el otro declina. ¿Por qué?” (p. 02). En la TV abierta de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina, durante el 2016 se emitían dos programas tipo magazine en la misma franja horaria: El Show de la Mañana y Bien Despiertos. Actualmente, el primero continúa al aire, mientras que el segundo fue reemplazado por otra producción. La inquietud de Verón (1985) es la que nos motiva a realizar la misma pregunta en relación a estos programas, especialmente pensando en la relación con el proyecto marco en el que se inscribe este trabajo: “La politización del espectáculo: producción, textos y recepción de los programas de espectáculos televisivos”. ¿Qué características los distinguen (y lo llevan al éxito), siendo que, por pertenecer al mismo género, tienen los mismos segmentos y los mismos contenidos?

The novel concepts of immanence and transcendence are introduced upon which the formulation and prove of a necessary and sufﬁcient condition for multivaluedness are based; this is the main result of this note. Next, subsequent consequences of this result are presented. Among these is the fact that this result also holds for cascaded generalized systems.

The novel application of structural complexity reduction in directed networks presented next, demonstrates the utility of multivaluedness and is itself a contribution to the theory of signals and systems.

The signiﬁcance of the work presented here is that it contributes toward the theory of systems and networks as well as toward the arsenal of tools for studying networks.
A Cloud RAN Architecture for LoRa
Authors: Delacourt Christophe , Savelli Patrick , Savaux Vincent
Published: March 2020

This paper deals with a cloud radio access network (CRAN)
architecture for the LoRa system. In the suggested design,
the gateway embeds a limited remote radio head (RRH),
including the analog radio-frequency (RF) analog part, the
digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion, and a
digital front-end (DFE). The other LoRa network functions,
including the physical (PHY) layer, the LoRaWAN medium
access control (MAC) layer, and the application and customer
servers are implemented as cloud resources. The
presented approach leads to a flexible RAN that is robust
to the variations of capacity needs. Furthermore, it allows
us to test very specific LoRa features, such as the detection
or demodulation, while bypassing the other ones including
the hardware RRH. The methodology and tools we
used to deploy a LoRa cloud RAN are detailed, and results
concerning the performance indicator (CPU load, memory
consumption) are provided as well.

Authors: Jaya Eddy E
Published: March 2020

Potensi sumberdaya hutan mangrove di Mangrove Center Graha Indah (MCGI) Kota Balikpapan tentunya tidak akan memberikan nilai manfaat secara optimal tanpa adanya keberlanjutan dalam pengelolaan. Oleh karena itu tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji dan menganalisis keberlanjutan pengelolaan mangrove di Mangrove Center Graha Indah (MCGI) Kota Balikpapan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan positivistik kuantitatif yang dilakukan secara longitudinal karena sifatnya berkelanjutan. Data penelitian berupa distribusi skor kuisioner dimensi keberlanjutan yang dilakukan oleh responden pakar (judgment expert) yang berjumlah 25 orang. Analisis data dengan metode Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) melalui pendekatan Rap-Mangrove MCGI. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa pengelolaan hutan mangrove di Mangrove Center Graha Indah (MCGI) Kota Balikpapan secara multidimensi memiliki status cukup berkelanjutan (59,23). Sementara itu kelima dimensi juga termasuk pada kategori status cukup berkelanjutan, yakni dimensi ekologi (51,42), dimensi ekonomi (56,97), dimensi sosial budaya (55,68), dimensi teknologi dan informasi (55,43), serta dimensi hukum dan kelembagaan (61,83). Sekalipun hutan mangrove ini memiliki status cukup berkelanjutan, tetapi disarankan dalam hal meningkatkan keberlanjutan agar dilakukan upaya perbaikan terhadap atribut-atribut sensitif dan lebih khusus hendaknya Pemerintah Kota Balikpapan berperan aktif dengan tidak hanya menerbitkan regulasi atau peraturan terkait pengelolaan dan konservasi mangrove di wilayah ini, namun juga pembiayaan dan penguatan struktur kelembagaan.
