Published: June 2018

In this study, new thermotolerant Acetobacter pasteurianus CV01 strain recently isolated from local product of Morocco has been investigated for its ability to perform efficient acetous fermentation at a large-scale. Firstly, the thermotolerance basis bioconversion of CV01 strain was compared to other mesophilic and thermotolerant acetic acid bacteria. Subsequently, CV01 strain was assessed for its ability to produce and tolerate high amount of acetic acid at optimal and thermal stress conditions in lab-scale bioreactor. It was found that the studied strain exhibited thermotolerant properties compared to reference strains and could withstand the increase in temperature during acetous fermentation in fermenter. Furthermore, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used on the samples prepared with solid phase microextraction (SPME) to determine the volatile compounds of the pilot plant produced apple vinegar based on developed start-up and semi-continuous fermentation protocol. The operation strategy in the 500-L pilot plant scale acetator allowed achieving 7.3% (w/v) of final acetic acid concentration recording high yield and acetification rate. The aroma profile of experimentally produced vinegar was found different from that of the commercial reference one. According to the literature, the results obtained show that major volatile compounds found in pilot-plant produced apple vinegar are related to good aromatic note descriptors which could have a positive impact on the organoleptic quality of industrial vinegar. Consequently, it can be concluded that CV01 Acetobacter strain is well suited for large-scale production of high quality fruit vinegar.
The equational theory of the weak Bruhat order on finite symmetric groups
Authors: Santocanale Luigi , Wehrung Friedrich
Published: June 2018

It is well known that the weak Bruhat order on the symmetric group on a finite number n of letters is a lattice, denoted by

\mathsf{P}(n)

and often called the

permutohedron on

n

letters

, of which the
Tamari lattice

\mathsf{A}(n)

is a lattice retract. The
equational theory
(or
word problem
) of a class of lattices is the set of all lattice identities satisfied by all members of that class. Our main results imply, as particular cases, the following.

Theorem I. The equational theories of all

\mathsf{P}(n)

and of all

\mathsf{A}(n)

are both decidable.

Theorem I. There exists a lattice identity that holds in all

\mathsf{P}(n)

, but fails in a certain 3,338-element lattice.

Theorem III. The equational theory of all extended permutohedra, on arbitrary (possibly infinite) posets, is trivial.

The proofs of Theorems I and II involve reductions of algebraic statements to certain tiling properties of finite chains.
Wilf’s conjecture and Macaulay’s theorem
Authors: Eliahou Shalom
Published: June 2018

Let

S \subseteq {\mathbb N}

be a numerical semigroup with multiplicity

m=\mathrm {min}(S\setminus \{0\})

, conductor

c=\mathrm {max}({\mathbb N} \setminus S)+1

and minimally generated by

e

elements. Let

L

be the set of elements of

S

which are smaller than

c

. Wilf conjectured in 1978 that

|L|

is bounded below by

c/e

. We show here that if

c \le 3m

, then

S

satisfies Wilf's conjecture. Combined with a recent result of Zhai, this implies that the conjecture is asymptotically true as the genus

g(S)=|{\mathbb N} \setminus S|

goes to infinity. One main tool in this paper is a classical theorem of Macaulay on the growth of Hilbert functions of standard graded algebras.

Motifs et adjoints
Authors: Kahn Bruno
Published: June 2018

We show in many cases the existence of adjoints to extension of scalars on categories of motivic nature, in the framework of field extensions. This is to be contrastedwith themore classical situationwhere one dealswith a finite typemorphism of schemes. Among various applications, one is a construction of a “Tate–Šafarevič motive” attached to an abelian variety over a function field. We also deduce a possible approach to Bloch’s conjecture on surfaces, by reduction to curves.

Making use of Freyd's free abelian category on a preadditive category we show that if

Estudio de los paredones y pretiles del río Turia a su paso por la ciudad de Valencia a través del análisis de las fuentes documentales y los testimonios gráficos de la época
Authors: Rodrigo Molina Ángeles , López González Concepción
Published: June 2018

El objetivo fundamental de esta investigación es el estudio de los paredones y pretiles que delimitan el cauce del río Turia a su paso por la ciudad de Valencia. Comienzan a construirse en 1591 siguiendo un plan de etapas determinadas por la debilidad de aquellos puntos donde las grandes avenidas causaban mayores daños. En este proyecto se han determinado dichas etapas constructivas analizando las fuentes documentales de la época, la cartografía histórica de la ciudad, y los grabados existentes. Asimismo y como trabajo "in situ" se ha analizado la técnica constructiva y los materiales empleados en la puesta en obra, las características geométricas de cada tramo y su estado de conservación. De estos datos ha sido posible establecer unas conclusiones relativas a las diferentes etapas en que fueron construidos esos magníficos muros de contención y los datos necesarios para su posterior puesta en valor. Es el primer estudio gráfico-constructivo que de estos emblemáticos elementos se ha realizado a través del cual se da a conocer una parte del patrimonio de la ciudad, olvidado en muchos casos, y encaminado a su inclusión como Monumento Histórico Artístico de carácter Nacional.

Global Debt Database
Authors: Mbaye Samba , Moreno Badia Marialuz , Chae Kyungla
Published: June 2018

This paper describes the compilation of the Global Debt Database (GDD), a cutting-edge dataset covering private and public debt for virtually the entire world (190 countries) dating back to the 1950s. The GDD is the result of a multiyear investigative process that started with the October 2016 Fiscal Monitor, which pioneered the expansion of private debt series to a global sample. It differs from existing datasets in three major ways. First, it takes a fundamentally new approach to compiling historical data. Where most debt datasets either provide long series with a narrow and changing definition of debt or comprehensive debt concepts over a short period, the GDD adopts a multidimensional approach by offering multiple debt series with different coverages, thus ensuring consistency across time. Second, it more than doubles the cross-sectional dimension of existing private debt datasets. Finally, the integrity of the data has been checked through bilateral consultations with officials and IMF country desks of all countries in the sample, setting a higher data quality standard.
H2SO4-H2O-NH3 ternary ion-mediated nucleation (TIMN): Kinetic-based model and comparison with CLOUD measurements
Authors: Yu Fangqun , Nadykto Alexey B. , Herb Jason , Luo Gan , Nazarenko Kirill M. , Uvarova Lyudmila A.
Published: June 2018

Abstract. New particle formation (NPF) is known to be an important source of atmospheric particles that impacts air quality, hydrological cycle, and climate. Although laboratory measurements indicate that ammonia enhances NPF, the physio-chemical processes underlying the observed effect of ammonia on NPF are yet to be understood. Here we present the first comprehensive kinetically-based H2SO4-H2O-NH3 ternary ion-mediated nucleation (TIMN) model that is based on the thermodynamic data derived from both quantum-chemical calculations and laboratory measurements. NH3 was found to reduce nucleation barriers for neutral, positively charged, and negatively charged clusters differently, due to large differences in the binding strength of NH3, H2O, and H2SO4 to small clusters of different charging states. The model reveals the general favor of nucleation of negative ions, followed by nucleation on positive ions and neutral nucleation, for which higher NH3 concentrations are needed, in excellent agreement with CLOUD measurements. The TIMN model explicitly resolves dependences of nucleation rates on all the key controlling parameters, and captures well the absolute values of nucleation rates as well as the dependence of TIMN rates on concentrations of NH3 and H2SO4, ionization rates, temperature, and relative humidity observed in the well-controlled CLOUD measurements. The kinetic model offers physio-chemical insights into the ternary nucleation process and provides an accurate approach to calculate TIMN rates under a wide range of atmospheric conditions.
Quantifying methane point sources from fine-scale (GHGSat) satellite observations of atmospheric methane plumes
Authors: Varon Daniel J. , Jacob Daniel J. , McKeever Jason , Jervis Dylan , Durak Berke O. A. , Xia Yan , Huang Yi
Published: June 2018

Abstract. Anthropogenic methane emissions originate from a large number of relatively small point sources. The planned GHGSat satellite fleet aims to quantify emissions from individual point sources by measuring methane column plumes over selected ~ 10 × 10 km2 domains with ≤ 50 × 50 m2 pixel resolution and 1–5 % measurement precision. Here we develop algorithms for retrieving point source rates from such measurements. We simulate a large ensemble of instantaneous methane column plumes at 50 × 50 m2 pixel resolution for a range of atmospheric conditions using the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) in large eddy simulation (LES) mode and adding instrument noise. We show that standard methods to infer source rates by Gaussian plume inversion or source pixel mass balance are prone to large errors because the turbulence cannot be properly parameterized on the small scale of instantaneous methane plumes. The integrated mass enhancement (IME) method, which relates total plume mass to source rate, and the cross-sectional flux method, which infers source rate from fluxes across plume transects, are better adapted to the problem. We show that the IME method with local measurements of the 10-m wind speed can infer source rates with error of 0.07–0.17 t h−1 + 5–12 % depending on instrument precision (1–5 %). The cross-sectional flux method has slightly larger errors (0.07–0.26 t h−1 + 8–12 %) but a simpler physical basis. For comparison, point sources larger than 0.5 t h−1 contribute more than 75 % of methane emissions reported to the U.S. Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. Additional error applies if local wind speed measurements are not available, and may dominate the overall error at low wind speeds. Low winds are beneficial for source detection but not for source quantification.

Abstract. To enhance the understanding of our Earth system numerical experiments are performed contrasting a retrograde and prograde rotating Earth using the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model. The experiments show that the sense of rotation has relatively little impact on the globally and zonally averaged energy budgets, but leads to large shifts in continental climates, patterns of precipitation, and the structure of the ocean overturning circulation. Most changes in the continental climate are expected, given ideas developed more than a hundred years ago: A general switch in the nature of the Euro-African climate with that of the Americas due to the reversal of the wind systems and the associated changes in storm tracks. However, the shift of storm track activity from the oceans to the land in the Northern hemisphere is surprising. Different patterns of storms influence fresh water transport, which may underpin the change of the role of the North Atlantic and the Pacific in terms of deep water formation, overturning and northward oceanic heat transport. These changes greatly influence northern hemispheric climate and atmospheric heat transport by eddies in ways that appear energetically consistent with a southward shift of the zonally and annually averaged tropical rain bands. Differences between the zonally averaged energy budget and the rain band shifts leave the door open, however, for an important role for stationary eddies in determining the position of tropical rains. Changes in ocean biogeochemistry largely follow shifts in ocean circulation, but the emergence of a super oxygen minimum zone in the Indian Ocean is surprising. The upwelling of phosphate enriched and nitrate depleted water provoke a dominance of cyanobacteria over bulk phytoplankton over vast areas, a phenomenon not observed in the prograde model.

Abstract. Polar amplification – the phenomenon that external radiative forcing produces a larger change in surface temperature at high latitudes than the global average – is a key aspect of anthropogenic climate change, but its causes and consequences are not fully understood. The Polar Amplification Model Intercomparison Project (PAMIP) contribution to the Sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6, Eyring et al. 2016) seeks to improve our understanding of this phenomenon through a coordinated set of numerical model experiments documented here. In particular, PAMIP will address the following primary questions: 1. What are the relative roles of local sea ice and remote sea surface temperature changes in driving polar amplification? 2. How does the global climate system respond to changes in Arctic and Antarctic sea ice? These issues will be addressed with multi-model simulations that are forced with different combinations of sea ice and/or sea surface temperatures representing present day, pre-industrial and future conditions. The use of three time periods allows the signals of interest to be diagnosed in multiple ways. Lower priority tier experiments are proposed to investigate additional aspects and provide further understanding of the physical processes. These experiments will address the following specific questions: What role does ocean-atmosphere coupling play in the response to sea ice? How and why does the atmospheric response to Arctic sea ice depend on the pattern of sea ice forcing? How and why does the atmospheric response to Arctic sea ice depend on the model background state? What are the roles of local sea ice and remote sea surface temperature in polar amplification, and the response to sea ice, over the recent period since 1979? How does the response to sea ice evolve on decadal and longer timescales? A key goal of PAMIP is to determine the real world situation using imperfect climate models. Although the experiments proposed here form a coordinated set, we anticipate a large spread across models. However, this spread will be exploited by seeking emergent constraints in which model uncertainty may be reduced by using an observable quantity that physically explains the inter-model spread. In summary, PAMIP will improve our understanding of the physical processes that drive polar amplification and its global climate impacts, thereby reducing the uncertainties in future projections and predictions of climate change and variability.
Spending Surges: Considerations Toward a Proposed Model for Explaining Budgetary Slack in Expiring Budgets
Authors: Robey Shawn L. , McKnight Mark A.
Published: June 2018

A review of an expiring budget and its impact on the budgeting process is very important. Two issues can quickly arise from the practice of budgeting based on budgetary slack. First, a department might feel incentivized to initially reduce (or hold back) spending during the early stages of the budgeting cycle. Second, as an extension to the prior idea, the department might experience an increase in spending as the end of the budget cycle draws near. The present research serves two purposes: The first purpose of this paper is to explore spending surges towards the end of a budgeting cycle. The secondary purpose of the paper is to explore the honesty of a department by using slack levels as an indicator. Based on the review of the literature, two general research questions will guide the development of a theoretical model to explain spending surges toward the end of a budgetary cycle.
Two types of quantifier particles: Quantifier-phrase internal vs. heads on the clausal spine
Authors: Szabolcsi Anna
Published: June 2018

The paper discusses two types of quantifier particles in Hungarian that both participate in reiterated constructions. One type follows and the other precedes its host, which makes it easy to compare them. The particles that follow their hosts are argued to be heads on the clausal spines of independent propositions. Host+particle does, but need not, occur in reiterations, and the particles do not build quantifier words. In contrast, the particles that precede their hosts are argued to be quantifier-phrase internal. Particle+host must occur in reiterations, and the particles build quantifier words. The two types of reiterated constructions also differ in having their own distinctive internal “connectives” and in forming strict vs. non-strict negative concord expressions. The paper focuses on syntax, with some attention to semantics. It argues for propositional coordination for both types, and propositional quantification for the second type. Constituent-size reiterations are derivable via ellipsis, raising the question whether they are necessarily so derived. The paper concludes with data from Bosnian, French, Japanese, Malayalam, Mandarin, Persian, Russian, Sinhala, Telugu, and Turkish, which indicate the cross-linguistic interest of recognizing the two types of particle constructions.

Introduction:

A paucity of information exists on the range of femoral version, its effect on hip stability, clinical examination, and presentation in patients with symptomatic acetabular dysplasia. The purpose of this study was to describe the range of version in symptomatic acetabular dysplasia, the association between femoral version and proximal femoral morphology and degree of dysplasia, and the effect of version on clinically measured hip range of motion and on preoperatively measured hip outcome scores.

Methods:

We reviewed 314 patients prospectively enrolled in a longitudinal clinical study on periacetabular osteotomy between January 2014 and August 2015 and measured femoral version, morphologic characteristics of the upper femur and acetabulum, and preoperative clinical outcome scores.

Results:

The average femoral version was 19.7° ± 11.2° (range, −20° to 50°). Femoral version correlated strongly with clinically measured hip range of motion but did not correlate linearly with either radiographic severity of acetabular dysplasia or preoperative symptomatology.

Discussion:

Despite concerns that transverse plane femoral anatomy influences the stability of the hip joint after skeletal maturity, we did not find a statistical association between femoral version and severity of dysplasia or presenting symptomatology. This finding suggests that femoral version is not a major influence on the clinical presentation of acetabular dysplasia.

Published: June 2018

An association exists between tibial shaft fractures and ankle injuries. In addition, although uncommon, an association between tibial shaft fractures and proximal tibiofibular dislocations has also been established. A review of the previous literature resulted in one case report of a complete proximal and distal tibiofibular joint dislocation without fracture of the tibia or fibula. Here, we discuss a case of a complete proximal and distal tibiofibular syndesmotic complex dislocation associated with a tibial shaft fracture. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this injury pattern associated with a tibial shaft fracture.

É de suma importância o deslocamento de pessoas em áreas rurais, juntamente com o transporte de informação, serviços e mercadorias, em que muitas destas atividades são oriundas do campo. Portanto o estudo voltado para as estradas não pavimentadas torna-se necessário. Este trabalho teve por objetivo caracterizar trechos de estradas não pavimentadas da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio das Pedras (BRP), Guarapuava com um levantamento sobre medidas de manutenção em estradas rurais identificando as medidas adotadas na bacia do Rio das Pedras. Na metodologia utilizada, foi verificado em campo quais são os danos causados pela falta de manutenção e quais são as principais medidas adotadas para amenizar os impactos nas estradas rurais. Verificou-se nos pontos avaliados, que há dispositivos de drenagem, mas muitos desses estão sem manutenção ou estão inadequados, ou seja, foram construídos de forma irregular e por isso não têm a eficácia desejada, não contribuindo para a desaceleração do escoamento superficial. Palavras-chave: Terreno dissecado, dispositivos de drenagem, transporte de informações. Abstract People deslocation in the countryside is of great importance, along with the transportation of information, goods and services, since many of this activities are originary from the rural area. Thus, a reasearh focused on the unpaved roads becomes necessary. This study aimed to characterize stretches of unpaved roads Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio das Pedras (BHRP), Guarapuava, Paraná, with a survey of maintenance measurements of the rural roads in order to identify the unpaved roads in the watershed of Rio das Pedras. The methodology used, it was verified in the field research what are the damages caused by the lack of maintenance and which are the lead measurements adopted to minimize impacts on the rural roads. In those assessment locations it was verified that there are drainage devices, but many of them are lacking support or they are inappropriate, anyways they were built irregularly, therefore without the desired efficiency that does not contribute towards the slowing of the superficial flow. Key-words: Dissected terrain, drainage devices, information transportation

A intensificação do processo de urbanização é responsável por mudanças nos padrões climáticos locais e regionais, sendo que, a principal causa destas alterações pode ser explicada através do fenômeno conhecido como ilha de calor urbana (ICU). Sabendo-se que áreas arborizadas periféricas proporcionam um maior conforto térmico em relação aos centros urbanos, o presente trabalho visou quantificar e delimitar a influência da vegetação em um sistema microclimático dentro do município de Belo Horizonte. Para isso, registrou-se a diferença de temperatura e umidade em pontos específicos, sob a influência de diferentes fatores locais, definindo e quantificando até que ponto a vegetação é capaz de amenizar os efeitos causados pelas ICUs. Palavras-chave: Ilha de calor urbana; Microclima; Vegetação. AbstractThe intensification of the urbanization process is responsible for changes in local and regional climate patterns, and the main cause of these changes can be explained by the phenomenon known as the urban heat island (UHI). Knowing that outlying wooded areas provide greater thermal comfort in relation to urban centers, the present work was aimed to define and quantify the influence of the vegetation on a microclimatic system within the city of Belo Horizonte. For this, the differences in temperature and humidity at specific points under the influence of different local factors were registered, to define and quantify the extent to which vegetation is able to reduce the effects caused by the UHIs. Keywords: Urban heat island; Microclimate; Vegetation.
