Authors: Wei Lei , Ma Maixia , Wang Dongsheng , Wang Qian , Lu Yanhong , Zhang Suling
Published: June 2018

The worldwide application of hydrogen energy greatly promotes the development of NaBH4 hydrolysis for hydrogen production, particularly the study of hydrolysis catalysts. In this work, an anatase TiO2-supported ruthenium nanocatalysts (i.e., Ru/TiO2) was facilely prepared by photocatalytic reduction without the use of any chemical reducing reagents. The Ru catalysts had an average particle size of approximately 2.2[Formula: see text]nm and were uniformly distributed. The Ru/TiO2 was characterized by HRTEM, EDS, XRD, XPS and ICP-AES, respectively, and evaluated by classical water-displacement method. Using a 5[Formula: see text]wt.% NaBH[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]wt.% NaOH solution, hydrogen generation (HG) rate was as high as 38.6[Formula: see text]L[Formula: see text]min[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] at 30∘C, and apparent activation energy was calculated to be 55.9[Formula: see text]kJ[Formula: see text]mol[Formula: see text]. Compared with similar Ru-based catalysts reported in literature, the Ru/TiO2 prepared in this work shows higher catalytic activity and lower apparent activation energy. After recycling for five times, the HG rate remained to be 91.7% of the initial level.

Published: June 2018

We have studied the structural, electronic, magnetic, thermoelectric and optical properties of the half-metal BaRuO3 using the accurate full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method based on the density functional theory (DFT). The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) was used to treat the exchange and correlation potential. The GGA[Formula: see text] approximation was also used to enhance the description of the electronic structure after calculating theoretically the Coulomb repulsion ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]eV). The ferromagnetic (FM) phase of BaRuO3 is more stable. This result is in accordance with experimental and theoretical calculations. The calculated magnetic moments in BaRuO3 were found to arise especially from the Ru-4d state electrons. We have obtained the semiconductor gap (0.9[Formula: see text]eV) in spin-up while in spin down, the metal character was dominant, and therefore BaRuO3 has a half-metallic behavior. The thermoelectric efficiency was 0.12 at room temperature. Here we have considered only the electronic thermal conductivity, we have not included the lattice thermal conductivity. The relaxation time was assumed constant. The [Formula: see text] approximation was also used to analyze the optical properties by determining the complex dielectric function from which are derived the other parameters.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate accuracy of research activity monitors in measuring steps in older adults with a range of walking abilities. Method: Participants completed an initial assessment of gait speed. The accuracy of each monitor to record 100 steps was assessed across two walking trials. Results: In all, 43 older adults (age 87 ± 5.7 years, 81.4% female) participated. Overall, the StepWatch had the highest accuracy (99.0% ± 1.5%), followed by the ActivPAL (93.7% ± 11.1%) and the Actigraph (51.4% ± 35.7%). The accuracy of the Actigraph and ActivPAL varied according to assistive device use, and the accuracy of all three monitors differed by gait speed category (all p < .05). StepWatch was highly accurate (⩾97.7) across all conditions. Discussion: The StepWatch and ActivPAL monitor were reasonably accurate in measuring steps in older adults who walk slowly and use an assistive device. The Actigraph significantly undercounted steps in those who walk slow or use an assistive device. Researchers should consider gait speed and the use of assistive devices when selecting an activity monitor.

Published: June 2018

The article deals with attributes of immovable things, land plots in particular, as a special variety of an immovable thing. We have analyzed legal precedents, which allowed identifying various items of immovable property and relate them to each other. In our research, we used general scientific and law-specific methods of cognition: historical legal, formal legal, comparative legal, etc.

We have found gaps in the land legislation and civil legislation related to incomplete definitions and lack of clearly described attributes of immovable things. We have accounted for the latest legislative changes characterizing judicial attribute of any immovable property. Based on the identified attributes, we divided real estate into groups and provided a definition for the concept of a land plot as a special variety of real estate, without which things cannot exist and may not be divided into movable and immovable.

Thermally Induced Superlow Friction of DLC Films in Ambient Air
Authors: Zeng Qunfeng
Published: June 2018

Thermally induced superlow friction (0.008) of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films was achieved in ambient air in the present work. Raman and XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) measurements and analyses show that superlow friction of the annealed DLC films is involved in the transformation of sp3 to sp2 hybridized carbon during annealing and the tribochemical reactions during sliding. The thermally activated graphitization and oxidation of the annealed DLC films in ambient air is beneficial to form the positively charged interface and achieve the stable superlow friction. A friction model was developed and applied to explain superlow friction, which is attributed to Van de Waals force between graphite layers and the repulsive force between hydroxyl group of graphite oxide and hydrogen terminated DLC films surface.

Published: June 2018

Anderson, DE, LeGrand, SE, and McCart, RD. Effect of caffeine on sprint cycling in experienced cyclists. J Strength Cond Res 32(8): 2221–2226, 2018—Research regarding the ergogenic effects of caffeine (CAF) in anaerobic activity remains inconclusive. However, some researchers have found significant improvements in anaerobic performance when testing specifically trained athletes. A double-blind, placebo-controlled, counterbalanced, cross-over design was implemented to assess the impact of CAF on a 30-second Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) in experienced cyclists. Nine experienced cyclists volunteered to participate in this study (men, n = 7 and women, n = 2). The subjects completed 2 separate experimental trials consisting of a 30-second WAnT at a resistance of 9% body mass. In a random order, 1 hour before each WAnT, subjects ingested either a CAF (∼280 mg) or placebo (PLAC) coffee. For each trial, heart rate (HR) and blood lactate (BL) values were recorded at rest, pre-WAnT, post-WAnT, and 5 minutes post-WAnT. After each trial, the subjects recorded their perception of which treatment they received. Heart rate and BL responses were not significantly different between the CAF and PLAC conditions. The ingestion of CAF did not significantly improve peak anaerobic power, mean anaerobic power, nor fatigue index. In at least 1 of the 2 trials, 44% of the subjects incorrectly guessed which substance they had ingested. The findings of this study do not show a significant correlation between CAF ingestion and improved anaerobic performance in experienced cyclists. However, performance enhancements may depend on varying individual responses to CAF. Athletes who are positive CAF responders may consider using coffee before competition to improve anaerobic performance.

Published: June 2018

The study was conducted on amniotic fluid collected from fifty gravid uteri of Gaddi sheep at different stages of gestation. The foetii were measured for their crown rump length and then divided into 4 stages i.e. stage I (31-60 days), stage II (61-90 days), stage III (91-120 days) and stage IV (121- till term). The mean concentration of glucose showed a declining trend from stage I to stage IV of gestation. The level of total protein remained consistent initially and decreased slightly in later stages of gestation. Creatinine and urea increased from stage I and II to stage III of gestation. Activity of Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was significantly higher in stage I of gestation. Alkaline Phosphatase showed highest activity in stage III of gestation. Changes in the concentration of glucose, urea, proteins or enzymes in foetal fluid reflect alterations in the functioning of liver during pregnancy and can be used as an important tool to assess the healthy state of pregnancy.

Investigação criminal genética – banco de perfis genéticos, fornecimento compulsório de amostra biológica e prazo de armazenamento de dados
Authors: Suxberger Antonio Henrique Graciano , Furtado Valtan Timbó Martins Mendes
Published: June 2018

O artigo aborda o uso de informações genéticas no direito processual penal brasileiro e seu regime legal a partir das inovações introduzidas pela Lei 12.654/2012, que inaugurou no Brasil a possibilidade de que investigados e sentenciados sejam compelidos a fornecer material biológico próprio para a alimentação de um banco de perfis genéticos cujos dados poderão ser confrontados no interesse de investigações criminais. Por meio de revisão da literatura nacional e estrangeira sobre o tema, alguns assuntos fundamentais são abordados, como conceitos técnicos sobre bancos de perfis genéticos, o embate entre os direitos fundamentais atinentes à questão (especialmente intimidade e segurança pública) e modelos, estrangeiros e nacional, de banco de perfis genéticos. O artigo busca problematizar se a lei brasileira ofende a garantia constitucional da não autoincriminação. Além disso, propõe interpretação da lei especificamente dirigida à limitação temporal da manutenção dos perfis genéticos de indivíduos no banco de dados. O artigo problematiza o potencial da legislação brasileira sobre essa matéria para, sem ofensa a direitos fundamentais e uma vez implantados e adequadamente alimentados e gerenciados os bancos de dados, contribuir para aprimorar a efetividade da investigação criminal e da produção probatória no Brasil.

Aims

Despite several studies reporting a higher mortality rate for women undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, this issue has not been completely clarified. The aim of the current study was to determine if sex differences in CABG surgery affect adjusted operative results and operative mortality.

Methods

Between January 2005 and December 2012, 3756 consecutive patients (3009 men and 747 women) underwent isolated CABG at our institution. Women presented with older age, smaller BSA and higher rate of preoperative comorbidities. The propensity score methodology was used to obtain risk-adjusted outcome comparisons between the two groups.

Results

The distribution of preoperative variables among matched pairs (553 patients in both groups) was, on average, equal. Propensity-matched women received a similar number of distal anastomoses (P = 0.56), had similar rate of left internal thoracic artery (LITA) graft (P = 0.73) and comparable extracorporeal circulation (P = 0.61) and aortic cross-clamp (P = 0.39) time as men. Postoperative complications were comparable in the two study groups with the exception of postoperative transfusion rate which was significantly higher in women (P = 0.01). However, operative mortality (3.8 vs. 2.7%; P = 0.20), perioperative acute myocardial infarction (P = 0.50) and stroke (P = 0.75) were not significantly different between the two groups. Interestingly, after adjustment for the other baseline characteristics, female patients with diabetes (P = 0.03), preoperative renal dysfunction (P = 0.07) and obesity (P = 0.07) exhibited a greater operative mortality rate compared with men with the same comorbidities.

Conclusion

After adjustment for preoperative variables, female sex seems not to be an independent risk factor for early mortality in isolated CABG surgery. However, renal impairment, diabetes and obesity seem to play an important role in the operative risk profile of women undergoing isolated CABG.

Published: June 2018

Evidence-based design strategies can improve stress-free environments in healthcare, by emphasizing strategic opportunities to influence the design of health facilities. Evidence-based design (EBD) as a tool for healthcare planning is a method that began in healthcare having a general-purpose of providing evidence-based medicine. It involved Gathering information and evidence and using this evidence to mould the environment which supports the programming stage in design problem-solving. The connection between the theories and use of findings in (EBD), have not been adequately revealed enough to be used as a tool in design. As such, several factors, or characteristics, evident in numerous studies about healing environment and (EBD), require categorization into tangible and non-tangible dimensions in order to apply them during the design process successfully. Two research questions served as a foundation for the investigation of attributes in healing environments: What critical attributes can be identified by healthcare staff related to Dilani and Ulrich’s research findings? Is a hierarchy of attributes perceived by healthcare staff? The aim of this research is to closely examine the factors of Psychosocial Supportive Design theory by Alan Dilani (2001) and Supportive design theory (SDT) by Roger Ulrich (1991) on the staff in Eastern Mediterranean university health centre. Questioners and site visit were used for data collection. SPSS was used to obtain percentages from data collected. The result of the study reveals a hierarchy of factors perceived by the staff that can promote supportive healing.

A methodology for thermo-mechanical assessment of in-box LOCA events on fusion blankets and its application to EU DEMO HCPB breeding blanket
Authors: Zhou G. , Hernández F. A. , Zeile C.
Published: June 2018

Within the framework of EUROfusion research activities, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is developing the Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) breeding blanket (BB) for European demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO), with the support of BME and Wigner-RCP (Hungary) and CIEMAT (Spain). During the development of the BB concept in the past years, the in-box Loss Of Coolant Accident (LOCA) has been identified as a main design driver for BB. During this event, a leakage of pressurized coolant within the blanket box happens (in-box LOCA), pressurizing the blanket module and endangering its structural integrity. This accident has not been investigated in a detailed approach yet. In this paper, a more precise methodology is introduced taking into account the temperature evolution of the structure for assessing the structural integrity of BB under in-box LOCA and has been applied to the HCPB BB. The methodology and results are presented and critically discussed.

Published: June 2018

Sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) is one of the most promising reactors among the six Gen-IV reactor systems due to its significant advantages in close fuel cycle, comprehensive technology foundations and operation experiences. China is designing and constructing a demonstration SFR, in which, to ensure the reactor passive safety, a direct reactor auxiliary cooling system (DRACS) with the inter-wrapper flow is proposed as the decay heat removal system. Xi'an Jiaotong University is in charge of the DRACS analysis code development. The physical models in the DRACS are extracted and the numerical models for each component are established. The Gear method and the SIMPLE method are adopted as the primary solution algorithm. The code is developed and validated by EBR-II and PHENIX benchmarks, the results of which indicate that the code can predict experimental results very well.

Published: June 2018

Introduction Previous research in children with Hirschsprung's disease (HD) and Down's syndrome (DS) has focused on colorectal outcomes. We set out to review urinary outcomes in this patient group.

Materials and Methods The medical records of all patients aged five years and older with HD were reviewed, and patients and caregivers filled out the Vancouver Symptom Score at intake, which is designed and validated to diagnose dysfunctional elimination syndrome.

Results A total of 104 patients with HD were included in this study. Of these, 16 (15%) patients had DS. There were no significant differences in the prevalence of enterocolitis or colorectal symptoms between patients with or without DS. Five of 88 (6%) patients without DS and 7 of 16 (44%) (p = 0.00001) with DS reported having urinary accidents. Patients with HD and DS scored higher on the Vancouver score (9 vs. 17.5; p = 0.007), indicating more severe urinary symptoms. Patients who also reported fecal accidents scored significantly higher on the Vancouver (12 vs. 9; n = 61; p = 0.016), indicating more problems.

Conclusion Patients with DS appear to be a unique subset of HD patients who have a higher prevalence of urinary symptoms after surgery. In the postoperative care of patients with HD and DS, a strong focus should be placed on postoperative urinary care in addition to their bowel care. This could significantly ease care and contribute to the quality of life of the parents and the patient.

Published: June 2018

The rapprochement of economic laws, set forth in the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), provides for the unitary standards of disseminating economic information. In the mid-1990s, Russia became a model in regulating advertising activities for the majority of the FSU (Former Soviet Union) republics. Nevertheless, the article presents substantial differences in advertisement understanding in the EAEU that can slow down the turnover expansion. It is demonstrated that even the same words can have different meaning. The paper analyzes the drawbacks in different approaches. In particular, it concludes that lawmakers do not pay enough attention to the regulation of advertisement in the new communication media.

Abstract:

Introduction: The determination of natriuretic peptide levels in patients hospitalized for suspected acute heart failure is important for the confirmation of the diagnosis and for the prognosis. Changes in natriuretic peptide levels in response to therapy have a strong prognostic value. Aim: To decide whether repeated natriuretic peptide measurements for acute heart failure show changes that could influence the diagnosis and/or the prognosis. Method: Prospective data collection was carried out of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels on admission and within 12 hours in patients hospitalized for acute heart failure. Only the data of those patients were analyzed whose symptoms started within 24 hours prior to admission and were due to acute heart failure. Results: The 23 patients whose data we analyzed had an average age of 77.9 ± 8.3 years. Most of them had left ventricular systolic dysfunction with an average ejection fraction of 34.1 ± 3.9%. The time between the start of symptoms and the first measurement was 6.7 ± 2.2 hours, while the time until the repeated determination was 6.5 ± 2.2 hours after the first measurement. The median value of the NT-proBNP levels in the 6 hours control showed an increase from 5064 pg/mL to 8847 pg/mL (p<0.0005), which amounts to a 75 percent increase – mean hs-troponin T showed an increase from 46 ± 25 ng/L to 78 ± 51 ng/L (p<0.002). Conclusions: A significant increase in NT-proBNP levels is to be expected in early repeated measurement after hospital admission. This fact could have diagnostic and prognostic consequences if validated in a larger patient population. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(25): 1009–1012.

O presente artigo aborda a experiência de um estudo de caso que buscou no pensamento da Comunicação Pública (CP) propor uma política de comunicação para uma Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior (IFES), que desde sua fundação, 1910, não possui um documento oficial de comunicação para relacionamento com públicos estratégicos. Logo, com base na técnica de pesquisa auditoria de comunicação organizacional, uma abordagem de caráter qualitativo esquadrinhou as ambivalências internas e externas da comunicação organizacional e levantou o conjunto de recursos humanos, produtos e tecnologias que compõem o sistema de comunicação da IFES. Os resultados mostram as particularidades destes elementos e exemplifica de que maneira a Comunicação Pública pode ser adota como recurso estratégico em IFES, e por conseguinte, na Administração Pública brasileira.  The present article approaches the experience of a case study that sought in the thought of the Public Communication (CP) to propose a communication policy for a Federal Institution of Higher Education (IFES), that since its foundation, 1910, does not have an official document of communication with strategic audiences. Therefore, based on the research technique of organizational communication auditing, a qualitative approach scrutinized the internal and external ambivalences of organizational communication and raised the set of human resources, products and technologies that make up the IFES communication system. The results show the particularities of these elements and exemplifies how Public Communication can be adopted as a strategic resource in IFES, and therefore, in the Brazilian Public Administration.

Positive and Negative Curiosity Experiences Among Tertiary Students
Authors: Palmer David
Published: June 2018

Curiosity is a motivation construct that is important at all levels of education. This study investigated the curiosity experiences of tertiary students. Individual interviews were carried out with 20 tertiary students. Participants were asked to describe experiences of wanting-to-learn (positive curiosity) or not-wanting-to-learn (negative curiosity) that they had recently experienced in regular classes. Participants reported they had recently experienced both forms of curiosity, which correlated with high and low levels of cognitive learning behaviours. Antecedent factors included personal interest, confidence, expectancies, value, and teacher influences.
The Mediation Role of Employees Engagement in the Relationship between Talent Management and Talent Retention in Military Production Factories in Egypt
Authors: Shaaban Safaa
Published: June 2018

This research examines (1) The relationship between talent retention and talent management and its dimensions-namely; talent recruitment and talent development. (2) The effect of mediation role of employees’ engagement on the relationship between talent management and talent retention in the public-sector factories in Egypt. The theoretical background is presented. A structured questionnaire was used to test the variables using random sampling techniques (N= 560 responses) collected by circulation in 18 factories using random sampling within the talent pools of these factories. The questionnaire included three parts. Sub-questionnaires were tested for validity and reliability presented in the results. The proposed study relations were tested using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) using AMOS 21 was used, also path analysis and fit indexes were used. The results supported the hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between talent management and talent retention. Also, the results supported the engagement mediate this relationship. The recommendations from this study will help in selecting the appropriate tasks for the talented employees to be engaging, that will encourage them to remain in the factories and it will allow them to feel a commitment to their organisation. Also, it is recommended that these factories build a clear strategy for talent management.
Is a Company’s Access to Private Equity and Venture Capital Affected by Location or Management Diversity? Some Empirical Evidence from Austria
Authors: Sardadvar Sascha
Published: June 2018

Governments around the world are providing various forms of subsidies to promote private investments into young, innovative firms. Under these circumstances it becomes ever more important to identify possible imbalances of risk capital (i.e. private equity and/or venture capital) markets. The present study provides econometric analyses (propensity score matching and probit regressions) based on firm data with the estimations displaying some distortions. In particular, a location outside Vienna as well as its shares of female and foreign managers display negative impacts on a company’s likelihood to be risk financed.

Published: June 2018

1. The presence of citrate in the normal fibrin enhanced the fibrinolytic activity of plasminogen activators, including trypsin. The effect of proteases (on normal or on heated fibrin, containing citrate) was not significantly influenced.

2. The effect of plasminogen activators was also increased when excess of plasminogen was present in the normal fibrin plates.

3. Fumaric acid and maleic acid belong to the polycarboxylic acids producing an enhancing effect.

Introduction

There are fundamental differences between electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and conventional cigarette product categories with regards to potential environmental exposures, notably that e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco or generate side-stream emissions. Here we assess the spatial and temporal patterns of exhaled e-cigarette aerosol at a bystander’s position, and compare it with conventional cigarette smoke emissions.

Methods

Smokers were asked to use e-cigarettes or smoke conventional cigarettes in a room-simulating chamber. Volunteers used the products at different distances from a heated mannequin, representing a bystander, and under different room ventilation rates. Aerosol particle concentrations and size distributions at the bystander’s position were measured.

Results

For both product categories, the particle concentrations registered following each puff were in the same order of magnitude. However, for e-cigarettes the particle concentration returned rapidly to background values within seconds; for conventional cigarettes it increased with successive puffs, returning to background levels after 30–45 minutes. Unlike for the e-cigarette devices tested, such temporal variation was dependent on the room ventilation rate. Particle size measurements showed that exhaled e-cigarette particles were smaller than those emitted during smoking conventional cigarettes and evaporated almost immediately after exhalation, thus affecting the removal of particles through evaporation rather than displacement by ventilation.

Conclusions

Significant differences between emissions from the tested e- and conventional cigarettes are reported. Exhaled e-cigarette particles are liquid droplets evaporating rapidly; conventional cigarette smoke particles are far more stable and linger.

Implications

• Several factors potentially influencing particle behavior after exhalation of e-cigarette aerosols or emitted during smoking conventional cigarettes were studied.

• Differences in particle size between those exhaled following use of e-cigarettes and those emitted during smoking of conventional cigarettes were observed.

• E-cigarette particle concentrations decreased rapidly following exhalation due to evaporation.

• The removal of particles following smoking conventional cigarettes was much slower and was dependent on the room ventilation rate.
