Final Consumer Options to Control and Prevent Foodborne Norovirus Infections
Authors: Guix Susana , Pintó Rosa M. , Bosch Albert
Published: April 2019

Norovirus (NoV) causes about one-fifth of all cases of foodborne diseases and is a foremost cause of domestically acquired foodborne acute gastroenteritis and outbreaks. NoV infections are often associated with the consumption of contaminated fresh and ready-to-eat produce, fresh and frozen berries, raw/undercooked bivalve mollusks and products which become contaminated during handling. Despite many industrial efforts to control and prevent NoV contamination of foods, the prevalence of NoV in high-risk foodstuffs at retail is still significant. Although certain consumer behaviors may even increase the risk of virus transmission, interventions aiming at changing/implementing consumer habits may be considered as opportunities for risk mitigation. This review aims at providing an update on the progress made in characterizing the effect that consumer habits, which are most critical to prevent NoV transmission (food choice and hygiene, disinfection and cooking during food preparation), may have on reducing the risk of NoV infection. A better understanding of the options for NoV control and prevention may be translated into innovative educational, social or even technological tools targeting consumers with the objective of mitigating the risk of NoV transmission.
Annexin II as a Dengue Virus Serotype 2 Interacting Protein Mediating Virus Interaction on Vero Cells
Authors: Aliyu Isah Abubakar , Ling King-Hwa , Md Hashim Nur Fariesha , Lam Jia-Yong , Chee Hui-Yee
Published: April 2019

Recent evidence has demonstrated that dengue virus requires active filopodia formation for a successful infection. However, the cellular factor involved in the interaction has not been fully elucidated. We used a combination of virus overlay protein binding assay and LC-MS/MS, and identified annexin II as a dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV2) interacting protein on Vero cells, upon filopodia induction. Flow cytometry analysis showed annexin II on the Vero cells surface increased when DENV2 was added. The amount of annexin II in the plasma membrane fraction was reduced as the infection progressed. Antibody-mediated inhibition of infection and siRNA-mediated knockdown of annexin II expression significantly reduced DENV2 infection and production levels. Collectively, we demonstrated that annexin II is one of the host factor involved in DENV2 binding on Vero cells.
The splendor and misery of "Intercultural Communication" teaching modules
Authors: Yermolovich Dmitry , Palazhchenko Pavel
Published: April 2019

The paper examines in a critical light the approaches and theoretical grounds of certain educational projects seeking to promote "intercultural competence" in translators, both in Russia, the contributors’ home country, and in Western Europe, as exemplified by a European Union project. Some textbooks as well as teaching material and recommendations are placed under scrutiny for consistency, relevance and value to the training of professional translators/interpreters, especially at postgraduate level. It is shown that some guidelines presented as an improvement on current translation teaching practices repeat or repackage ideas developed decades ago by Russian and Bulgarian translatologists. The paper argues that there is no special need for artificially implanting or isolating an "intercultural communication" module in translation teaching, as translation is itself a primary form of international and, therefore, intercultural communication, and the best practices of its teaching, at least in the leading translator/interpreter schools of Russia, have incorporated the cultural component in harmony with other essential translation competences for at least half a century.

UNIQUENESS AND CONVERGENCE OF THE ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF NONLINEAR DIFFUSION EQUATION
Authors: Janavičius A. J. , Norgela P. , Jurgaitis D.
Published: April 2019

We have discussed the problems of uniqueness of the physical solution of the nonlinear diffusion equation. Here are considered two different ways to express the solutions in the power series. In the first case we will use the power‐series expansion about the zero point. The accuracy of the obtained physical solution is evaluated. However, in this case we get an infinity of different solutions and the problem of the choice of the unique physical solution is considered using the expansion about the point of maximum penetration of the impurities. Then we get only two solutions which differ one from other only in the directions of the diffusion.

Published: April 2019

We present spectral and timing properties of the newly discovered X-ray transient source, MAXI J1535-571, which is believed to be a Galactic X-ray binary containing a black hole candidate (BHC) as the primary object. Since its discovery on 2017 September 2, it has been monitored regularly in multi-wavelength bands by several satellites. We use archival data of the Swift (XRT and BAT) and MAXI (GSC) satellite instruments to study accretion flow dynamics of the source during the outburst. During its outburst, the source became very bright in the sky with a maximum observed flux of 5 Crab in the 2–10 keV GSC band. Similar to other transient BHCs, it also shows signatures of low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) during the outburst. Spectral data of different instruments are fitted with the transonic flow, solution-based two-component advective flow model fits file to find the direct accretion flow parameters. The evolution of spectral states and their transitions are understood from the model-fitted physical flow parameters and nature of QPOs. We also estimate the probable mass of the black hole from our spectral analysis as 7.9–9.9 M
⊙ or 8.9 ± 1.0 M
⊙.
SPIRE Spectroscopy of Early-type Galaxies
Authors: Lapham Ryen Carl , Young Lisa M.
Published: April 2019

We present Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) spectroscopy for nine early-type galaxies (ETGs) representing the most CO-rich and far-infrared (FIR) bright galaxies of the volume-limited Atlas3D sample. Our data include detections of mid- to high-J CO transitions (J = 4–3 to J = 13–12) and the [C i] (1–0) and (2–1) emission lines. CO spectral line energy distributions (SLEDs) for our ETGs indicate low gas excitation, barring NGC 1266. We use the [C i] emission lines to determine the excitation temperature of the neutral gas, as well as estimate the mass of molecular hydrogen. The masses agree well with masses derived from CO, making this technique very promising for high-redshift galaxies. We do not find a trend between the [N ii] 205 flux and the infrared luminosity, but we do find that the [N ii] 205/CO(6–5) line ratio is correlated with the 60/100 μm Infrared Astronomical Satellite colors. Thus the [N ii] 205/CO(6–5) ratio can be used to infer a dust temperature and hence the intensity of the interstellar radiation field. Photodissociation region models show that use of [C i] and CO lines in addition to the typical [C ii], [O i], and FIR fluxes drive the model solutions to higher densities and lower values of G
0. In short, the SPIRE lines indicate that the atomic and molecular gas in the CO-rich ETGs have similar properties to other galaxies. As might be expected from their low levels of star formation activity, the ETGs have rather low excitation CO SLEDs, low temperatures inferred from the [C i] lines, and modestly lower [C i]/CO ratios.
A Multimass Velocity Dispersion Model of 47 Tucanae Indicates No Evidence for an Intermediate-mass Black Hole

Published: April 2019

In this paper, we analyze stellar proper motions in the core of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae to explore the possibility of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) influence on the stellar dynamics. Our use of short-wavelength photometry affords us an exceedingly clear view of stellar motions into the very center of the crowded core, yielding proper motions for >50,000 stars in the central 2′. We model the velocity dispersion profile of the cluster using an isotropic Jeans model. The density distribution is taken as a central IMBH point mass added to a combination of King templates. We individually model the general low-mass cluster objects (main sequence/giant stars), as well as the concentrated populations of heavy binary systems and dark stellar remnants. Using unbinned likelihood model fitting, we find that the inclusion of the concentrated populations in our model plays a crucial role in fitting for an IMBH mass. The concentrated binaries and stellar-mass black holes (BHs) produce a sufficient velocity dispersion signal in the core so as to make an IMBH unnecessary to fit the observations. We additionally determine that a stellar-mass BH retention fraction of ≳8.5% becomes incompatible with our observed velocities in the core.
Opportunities to improve the future of South Australia’s terrestrial biodiversity
Authors: Bradshaw Corey J. A.
Published: April 2019

It is unequivocal that the poor condition of South Australia’s terrestrial biodiversity is continuing to decline overall – much like elsewhere in Australia. This decline is mainly due to the legacy of vegetation clearing and habitat modification since European colonisation, the destructive influence of invasive species (especially predators like cats and foxes) on its native fauna and flora, and impotent or broken legislation to prevent further damage. The struggle to maintain our remaining biodiversity, and our intentions to restore once-healthy ecosystems, are rendered even more difficult by the added influence of rapid climate disruption. Despite the pessimistic outlook, South Australians have successfully employed several effective conservation mechanisms, including increasing the coverage of our network of protected areas, doing ecological restoration projects, reducing the densities of feral animals across landscapes, encouraging private landholders to protect their biodiversity assets, releasing environmental water flows to rivers and wetlands, and bringing more people in touch with nature. While these strategies are certainly stepping in the right direction, our policies and conservation targets have been hampered by arbitrary baselines, a lack of cohesion among projects and associated legislation, unrepresentative protected areas, and inappropriate spatial and time scales of intervention. While the challenges are many, there are several tractable and affordable actions that can be taken immediately to improve the prospect of the State’s biodiversity into the near future. These include coordinating existing and promoting broader-scale ecological restoration projects, establishing strategic and evidence-based control of invasive species, planning more representative protected-area networks that are managed effectively for conservation outcomes, fixing broken environmental legislation, avoiding or severely limiting biodiversity-offset incentives, expanding conservation covenants on private land, coordinating a state-wide monitoring network and protocol that tells the South Australian community how effective we are with our policies and actions, expanding existing conservation investment and tapping into different funding schemes, and coordinating better communication and interaction among government and non-governmental environment agencies. Having a more transparent and defensible link between specific conservation actions and targeted outcomes will also likely improve confidence that conservation investments are well-spent. With just a little more effort, coordination, funding, and foresight, South Australia has the opportunity to become a pillar of biodiversity conservation.

Does equestrian knowledge and experience influence selection and training practices for showjumping horses?
Authors: St. George L. , Hobbs S.J. , Sinclair J. , Richards J. , Roddam H.
Published: April 2019

Selection and training methods for showjumping horses are largely anecdotal, and performance analysis has been proposed as a method for scientifically improving competitive outcomes. To employ performance analysis in showjumping, an understanding of the tacit and explicit knowledge and practices of equestrians is required to identify relevant performance indicators. This study aimed to examine the knowledge and practices of equestrians with varying levels of experience (advanced and novice) for selecting horses, based on evaluation of movement, and training showjumping horses using an original questionnaire. It was hypothesised that differences would be present between advanced and novice responses. The questionnaire was composed of closed-end and follow-up open-end questions and 225 equestrians (66.7% advanced, 33.3% novice) participated. Closed-end responses from advanced and novice groups were analysed separately using Chi-Squared tests and open-end responses were subjected to thematic and content analysis. Closed-end responses showed significant within-group preferences (P<0.0001) for specific movement traits and training methods and between-group response differences <13% revealed that advanced and novice groups displayed similar preferences. Thematic analysis indicated different preferences for movement traits when selecting showjumping horses, as well as differences in the level of tacit knowledge between advanced and novice groups. Advanced equestrians placed greater emphasis on aesthetic forelimb traits than novice equestrians, who emphasised traits that they may be less capable of influencing, such as hindlimb impulsion and position of the horse at take-off. An emphasis on hindlimb movement and flatwork/non-jumping exercises for showjumping training was observed across both groups. Understanding equestrian tacit knowledge and its application is fundamental for developing research that is relevant to equestrians. Findings from this study may form a basis for research to identify relevant, objective performance indicators for performance analysis in showjumping, with the ultimate goal of improving competitive performance and welfare for equine athletes.

Le proconsul et le prince d’Auguste à Dioclétien
Authors: Hurlet Frédéric
Published: April 2019

This analysis of the relations between the proconsul and the princeps is a contribution to the wider study of the role of the principal senators in the entourage of the Caesars and in the government of the Roman Empire. Through describing how the administrative structures and the political personnel functioned, this book seeks to shed new light on the institutions and practices that the imperial power invented in order to choose, collaborate with and communicate with the ten governors of the public provinces.

This will be shown through the treatment of three major themes : the designation of the proconsul (normally resulting from drawing lots) and the methods through which the imperial power intervened in this traditional process to name or prorogate his prefered candidates ; the comparative study of the powers of the princeps and the proconsul ; the means of long-distance communications established between the centre of the Empire and the peripheries which were under the authority of the proconsuls.

Industry 4.0 - Digital Twin Applied to Direct Digital Manufacturing
Authors: Vitorino João , Ribeiro Eliseu , Silva Rúben , Santos Cyril , Carreira Pedro , Mitchell Geoffrey R. , Mateus Artur
Published: April 2019

Marinha Grande is a city in Leiria’s district, Portugal. Marinha Grande is known as the moulding city, influenced by the glass, plastic and rapid manufacturing industry. Its history comes from the 18th century with the first glass factory. In order to improve technological development in the local industry, Centre for rapid and sustainable product development (CDRsp) was established in 2007.With that historical know-how and data-based moulding manufacturing, this work goal is to link that data with today’s technology, implementing the Industry 4.0. That information would be stored in a Cloud-Based Design and Manufacturing (CBDM) as well as the real-time operational data. Accessing to that cloud, the design and production engineers can work together to digitally create a product without having to stop the machinery.To implement these concepts, this paper suggests a Digital Twin (DT) to take advantage of the historical information allied to the existent industrial machinery. It suggests a digital twin of a robotic arm with an additive or hybrid manufacturing tool, printing big parts (e.g. garden benches or urban furniture) with reused materials such as tire, cork, wood or stone pow loads.

These materials provide eco-sustainable solutions for a large range of applications and have been actually adopted by multiple industries. The interest on fibres of animal origin is more recent and research on composites reinforced with these fibres predominantly composed of keratin, such as wool, feathers or silk, is increasing in virtue of some advantageous properties that may overcome some of the intrinsic limitations from vegetable fibres. The combined use of vegetable and animal fibres in composites appropriate for melt blending processing is at early stages of research. After chemical treatments, the fibres of animal origin have been mostly applied as binders between vegetable fibres and polymers, not as main constituents of these composites. The use of both types of fibres simultaneously in composites of thermoplastic matrices is the subject of the present study wherein the fibres of animal origin (wool) are different kinds of residues from a textile industry and the fibres of vegetable origin (wood) are residues from carpentry activities. The chemical composition, the macro and microstructure of the fibres is analyzed, as well as that of composites that combine non-biodegradable and biodegradable polymers with diverse ratios of fibres in different conditions (wool as cards, yarns and felt cloths; wood as sawdust). The addition of coupling agents to enhance the compatibility between wool, wood and different polymers is also analysed.

The two dimensional study of natural convection in vertical cylindrical annular enclosure filled with Cu-water nanofluid under magnetic fields is numerically analyzed. The vertical walls are maintained at different uniform hot and cold temperatures, THand TC, respectively. The top and bottom walls of the enclosure are thermally insulated. The governing equations are solved numerically by using a finite volume method. The coupling between the continuity and momentum equations is effected using the SIMPLER algorithm. Numerical analysis has been carried out for a wide range of Rayleigh number (103≤Ra≤106), Hartmann number (1 ≤Ha≤100) and nanoparticles volume fraction (0 ≤φ≤0.08). The influence of theses physical parameters on the streamlines, isotherms and average Nusselt has been numerically investigated.

The objective of this study is to give the designer an appreciation of the heat transfer enhancement in turbulent flows through corrugated channels in a heat plate exchanger. Precisely, the influence of a new technic named the artificial roughness is probed on corrugated walls, with their variable wall amplitudes for assessing the effectiveness of the heat exchange. For that purpose, a numerical simulation approach is adopted. The rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal and sinusoidal corrugated wall and artificial roughness wall shapes are investigated, in order to determine the optimal wall profile resulting in significance increase in the heat exchange process with a minimum friction loss. The numerical results are presented in the form of isotherms, streamlines, contour, Nusselt number (Nu) and friction coefficient (Cf) using commercial software ANSYS- Fluent where the Reynolds number is in the range from 3 000 to 12 000. Our simulations reveal that the sinusoidal-corrugated channel has the highest heat transfer enhancement followed by rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal-corrugated channel. In addition, introduction of artificial roughness in the wavy channel induces stronger secondary flow which makes the flow three-dimensional and improve the heat transfer by a maximum 40% at a Reynolds number equal to 12 000. This may indicate benefits for designing heat plate compact exchangers capable of higher performances in the turbulent flow regimes.

We provide a discussion of our previously collected data (Chinotti et al., Phys. Rev. B 94, 245101 (2016)) on the electrodynamic response in YbMnBi2, a representative Weyl semimetal, and in its gapped semimetal counterpart EuMnBi2, which can be fairly well reproduced within a recent devoted theoretical treatment (S.P. Mukherjee and J.P. Carbotte, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 29 (2017) 425301). This allows identifying and catching all the essential features of their peculiar electronic structure as imaged by the excitation spectrum.
Phenomenological Mean-Field Theory of Metamagnetism in Heavy Fermions
Authors: Matsumoto Kazuyuki , Murayama Shigeyuki
Published: April 2019

Metamagnetism observed in some heavy fermion compounds is an intriguing phenomena. To understand this phenomena, we explore the phenomenological mean-field theory for heavy fermion systems without microscopic mechanism. We write an extension of the Landau-like free energy density with the Bragg-Williams entropy. By minimising this free energy density with respect to the sub-lattice magnetizations, we can obtain thermal equilibrium quantities. As examples, the magnetic behaviors of CeRu2Si2(the metamagnetism with crossover) and CeTiGe (the first order metamagnetism) are explained qualitatively, where the scaling hypothesis is used to consult with experimental data under the constant pressure condition.
A Study of Partially Substituted Sr8Ca6Cu24O41 Samples

Published: April 2019

A systematic study of samples of nominal composition A14Cu24O41 (A = alkaline-earth metal) with partial replacement on the alkaline-earth metal sites and on the Cu sites was carried out. Layered cuprates of the (Sr,Ca)2Cu2O3-CuO2 series with partial substitution by Gd, Dy, and Er for Ca were obtained. X-ray powder diffraction analysis indicated that the solubility of the rare-earth metals in the Sr8Ca6Cu24O41 compound is limited to 2 atoms per formula unit. The Cu atoms in the structure of the spin-ladder phase can be replaced by Fe, Co, or Ni atoms up to the composition Sr8Ca6Cu23Fe1O41, Sr8Ca6Cu18Co6O41, or Sr8Ca6Cu23Ni1O41, respectively, whereas attempts to replace part of the Cu atoms by Mn or Zn atoms were not successful.
Nur77 Links Chronic Antigen Stimulation to B Cell Tolerance by Restricting the Survival of Self-Reactive B Cells in the Periphery

Nur77 (Nr4a1) belongs to a small family of orphan nuclear receptors that are rapidly induced by BCR stimulation, yet little is known about its function in B cells. We have previously characterized a reporter of Nr4a1 transcription, Nur77-eGFP, in which GFP expression faithfully detects Ag encounter by B cells in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we report that Nur77 expression correlates with the degree of self-reactivity, counterselection, and anergy among individual B cell clones from two distinct BCR transgenic mouse models but is dispensable for all of these tolerance mechanisms. However, we identify a role for Nur77 in restraining survival of self-reactive B cells in the periphery under conditions of competition for a limited supply of the survival factor BAFF. We find that Nur77 deficiency results in the progressive accumulation of self-reactive B cells in the mature repertoire with age and is sufficient to break B cell tolerance in VH3H9 H chain transgenic mice. We thus propose that Nur77 is upregulated in self-reactive B cells in response to chronic Ag stimulation and selectively restricts the survival of these cells, gradually pruning self-reactivity from the mature repertoire to impose a novel layer of peripheral B cell tolerance.

Published: April 2019

Background: In a highly competitive, economically strained business environment it is essential for a business to balance the necessity of attracting and retaining top-performing employees and containing costs. Employee branding is a management tool that can serve to retain staff and reduce compensation levels.Aim: This study investigated the effects of employee branding on staff retention and compensation expectations.Setting: Five South African insurers participated in this research.Methods: Analysis of variance and correlational tests were used to test various hypotheses.Results: The analysis indicated that increased perceptions of employer branding relate to staff with greater reports of retention and lower levels of compensation expectations. Interestingly, demographic factors were not significant in the analysis, although trends were found in potential age differences and total years at an employer.Conclusion: Practically, the research provides a model to execute a successful employer branding strategy. The employer branding control cycle was developed to assist organisations to successfully execute an employer branding strategy. This model considers the design, implementation and monitoring phases of such a strategy.
