La centralización de la gobernanza territorial en las políticas activas del mercado de trabajo en España durante la Gran Recesión (2011-2016)
Authors: Hernández-Moreno Jorge José , Ramos Gallarín Juan Antonio
Published: November 2017

España ha sido uno de los países de Europa Occidental que ha avanzado hacia adelante en el proceso de descentralización del Estado de Bienestar en las últimas décadas. En concreto, las décadas de 1990 y 2000 fueron testigo de una aceleración de este proceso, el cual ha estado acompañado de una expansión del gasto social (el denominado esfuerzo en bienestar) a nivel sub-nacional (Comunidades Autónomas). Esta investigación pretende contribuir a varios debates abiertos en la literatura académica sobre los cambios en la gobernanza de las políticas sociales en su dimensión vertical –en relación al continuo descentralización/(re)centralización–, así como los factores explicativos de los mismos. En concreto, nos preguntamos si las reformas introducidas en materia de activación en el Estado de Bienestar español en el contexto de la crisis han repercutido también en las relaciones entre los diferentes niveles de gobierno.  Analizamos en detalle el proceso de toma de decisiones y los sistemas de financiación e implementación de las políticas activas del mercado de trabajo. Junto con el análisis de datos cualitativos y cuantitativos, para contrastar nuestras hipótesis sobre el cambio en la gobernanza multinivel del Estado de Bienestar, en esta investigación se han llevado a cabo 15 entrevistas en profundidad semiestructuradas, realizadas en el marco de un proyecto de investigación más amplio.

Authors: Crespo Ismael , Garrido Antonio , Medina Rosa María
Published: November 2017

Catástrofes, terremotos, pandemias, enfermedades epidémicas, emergencias y la alteración de los servicios básicos son sólo algunos de los acontecimientos impredecibles que muestran de qué manera las crisis pueden desarrollarse con gran rapidez y la importancia que tiene para los gobiernos y las administraciones públicas gestionar efectivamente su comunicación de crisis.La experiencia de crisis nacionales (la política detrás de la crisis del Ébola, el terremoto de Lorca, el movimiento vecinal de Gamonal en Burgos, la huelga no autorizada de los controladores aéreos en 2010 o el accidente de tren en Angrois) muestran que la comunicación efectiva requiere una extensa preparación y este artículo presenta un trabajo empírico sobre la comunicación de crisis de las administraciones públicas en España.El objetivo de esta investigación es describir el estado de la práctica de la comunicación de crisis en la administración del Estado, comunidades autónomas y municipios, con el apoyo en las percepciones de sus trabajadores. Para lograrlo, realizamos un estudio a través de encuesta con referencias a casos de crisis gestionados por la Administración Pública española.

Optimization of Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Window (VRPTW) for Food Product Distribution Using Genetics Algorithm
Authors: Pratama Rayandra Yala , Mahmudy Wayan Firdaus
Published: November 2017

Food distribution process is very important task because the product can expire during distribution and the further the distance the greater the cost. Determining the route will be more difficult if all customers have their own time to be visited. This problem is known as the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). VRPTW problems can be solved using genetic algorithms because genetic algorithms generate multiple solutions at once. Genetic algorithms generate chromosomes from serial numbers that represent the customer number to visit. These chromosomes are used in the calculation process together with other genetic operators such as population size, number of generations, crossover and mutation rate. The results show that the best population size is 300, 3,000 generations, the combination of crossover and mutation rate is 0.4:0.6 and the best selection method is elitist selection. Using a data test, the best parameters give a good solution that minimize the distribution route.
Zerstreuung, Verschliessung, Hingabe. Zur Figur des Transzendierens bei Jan Patočka
Authors: Frei Jan
Published: November 2017

AbstractTo get distracted, to enclose and to give oneself. The Gesture of Transcendence in Jan Patočka The problem of transcendence can be traced throughout the whole work of Jan Patočka. The appeal to transcend our bonds to mere objectivity is a constant issue of his thought. It finds a new substantiation in the 1960s in his studies focusing on the meaning of the other as human being. The relation to the other person offers a special "occasion" or "place" of transcendence and poses the challenge to transcend one's own particular setting.While in the mid-1960s Patočka maintains his earlier dramatic vocabulary to describe the process of transcendence, in the late 1960s his idiom becomes less vehement. Yet, it is precisely within this more "sober" framework that he symbolizes the process of transcendence with an emphatic turn to a "myth of the divine man" and its key metaphor of resurrection. To transcend means, for Patočka, always to liberate oneself from a state of self-distraction between things. However, in his late lectures, he briefly refers to a deeper layer, suggesting that this self-distraction has its "roots" in a self-enclosure or self-isolation, in the exclusive concentration on our own interests and in the illusion of our self-sufficiency. Transcendence, then, means to overcome this self-enclosure by means of a self-forgetting love. Are these rarely mentioned "roots" perhaps implicitly present in all Patočka's accounts of transcendence?

This research is aimed at investigating the readiness of History subject teachers in teaching and learning with the help of i-Think mind maps at secondary schools in the district of Setiu, Terengganu. The amount of sample chosen is 59 History teachers from secondary schools which consists of trained teachers without taking into account their specialisation. As a whole, the research findings show that respondents have a high readiness level in implementing their teaching and learning process with the help of i-Think mind maps in secondary schools. The findings also show that there is a difference in teacher readiness between history teacher and non-history teacher and between those that went to courses and those who did not. Furthermore, there is a difference in the attitude, skill and usage level of i-Think mind maps in teachers that are experienced and those less experienced. However, research findings for experienced and less-experienced teachers showed that there are no significant differences in the level of knowledge on the concept of i-Think mind maps.
Maute Group dan Jaringan Keluarga dalam Kelompok Islam Radikal di Filipina Selatan
Authors: Nara Indra Putu Agung
Published: November 2017

Abstrak

Perjalanan konflik antara pemerintah Filipina dengan kelompok-kelompok separatis di Filipina Selatan memunculkan beragam kelompok militan Islam seperti MILF, Abu Sayyaf, dan yang paling mutakhir, Kelompok Maute. .Banyaknya kelompok militan yang muncul berawal dari perpecahan-perpecahan di dalam kelompok-kelompok militan tradisional di Filipina Selatan khususnya MNLF dan MILF. Fenomena perpecahan ini akhirnya memunculkan kelompok-kelompok sempalan yang kerap terlibat pertempuran di antara mereka sendiri. Di sisi lain, kelompok-kelompok tersebut justru memiliki latar belakang ikatan keluarga yang sangat erat. Tulisan ini menyoroti tentang peranan jaringan keluarga di dalam keberadaan kelompok-kelompok militan di Filipina Selatan khususnya Kelompok Maute. Kelompok Maute dapat berkembang pesat karena pendiri dan sebagian besar anggotanya memiliki hubungan keluarga dengan kelompok Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Ikatan keluarga ini akhirnya menjadi pelindung sekaligus faktor penting bagi berkembangnya radikalisme Kelompok Maute.

Kata kunci: Filipina Selatan, kelompok radikal Islam, MILF, Kelompok Maute, ikatan keluarga.

 

Abstract

The history of conflict between Philippines government and separatist group in Southern Phillipines area has formed many radical Islamic groups such as, MILF, Abu Sayyaf, and Maute group. The emergence of these groups was caused by the schism in the older militant groups such as MNLF and MILF. However, the disunity of the older militant groups and the emergence of the so called “splinter groups” finally created conflicts among them. On the other hand, those groups bear resemblance in their family origins. This article highlighted the family networking inside the radical Islamic groups especially the Maute group. This group can grow rapidly because of the family bond between their founders and members with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). The family bond became their protector and also vital point for the rise of radicalism in the Maute group.

Socio-economic factors determining the commitment to participate in an agricultural development project in rural Ethiopia
Authors: Urquía-Grande Elena , Del-Campo Cristina
Published: November 2017

Ethiopia is suffering a massive exodus of rural people towards the capital. Thus, the Government is trying to support projects carried out to stimulate opportunities given to the agriculture sector. In this line a project has been designed, working together with a Non-Profit Organization (NPO). The present research paper analyses the factors which determine the farmers’ socio-economic, educational and nutrition commitments to design an assignment criterion in the frame of a rural development project in Ethiopia where all the families are surveyed. The donated wells are intended to make possible their access to safe water and the creation of a small vegetable garden with the final goal of improving their living standard. However, because the number of wells to donate was limited, it was crucial to identify assignment criteria to maximize the outcomes of the project. The selected families must help in the building of additional wells to other families and improving social status of the village through commitment to (i) return a percentage of exceeding crops for the community, (ii) assist to continuous training in agriculture, budgeting and nutrition and (iii) enroll their children in school. The article seeks to understand which socio-demographic and economic variables determine families’ different commitments. A descriptive analysis of the sample is made and different multivariate techniques are applied. Interesting results were observed such as women income, having an animal for transportation and owning a mobile, which are variables that determine these commitments.

Authors: Rodríguez-Fariñas Jara , Romero-Valiente Juan Manuel , Hidalgo-Capitán Antonio Luis
Published: November 2017

The article analyzes the Spanish emigration to Argentina between 2008 and 2015, with the prospect of understanding the demographic profile of the new Spanish emigrants to Argentina, the causes of their migration, the initial problems of migration process, the conditions of their later situation and their expectations of the future. We use a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodological strategy, combining first and second order research. Findings include that these migrants are mostly young and middle-aged workers, highly qualified and with work experience. Pushed from Spain by the economic crisis and attracted to Argentina for its labor opportunities, they have found a migratory and institutional network of support which guarantees a social, labor and economic integration. For the most part, they are satisfied with their migratory experience even though most desire to come back to Spain.
Inequalities in mining and oil regions of andean countries
Authors: Arellano-Yanguas Javier
Published: November 2017

The difficulties to translate mineral richness into tangible development outcomes have been widely covered in academic research during the last decade. However, only very recently the issue of inequalities in the context of extraction has received attention. This paper contributes to emerging literature by proposing and applying an analytical framework in which inequalities catalyzed by mining and oil operations are reviewed across three thematic axes (political, socio-economic, and environmental) and three levels (between institutional actors, between territories, and between groups within a given territory). This systematic analysis uncovers the way in which the costs and benefits of extraction affect institutions, territories, and social groups differently. The second part of the paper applies the framework to a mining operation in Peru (Antamina) and an oilfield in Colombia (Rubiales). The empirical analysis reveals a set of contextual factors that influence the generation of inequalities.

Authors: Sysoieva Svetlana ,   Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University
Published: November 2017

On the basis of study of dissertation research by American scientists the author analyzed the content of two equal degrees - Ph.D. (PhD in Education) and Ed.D. (Doctor of education) - in the US, common and different between them controversial aspects about the existence of two degrees in the United States. The analyzed studies raise the value of higher education as provide reasonable information on the differences between his doctorate and presentation of such programs and departments that carry out such training. Information on training programs of future doctors provides an opportunity to make effective changes in the delimitation of Ed.D. and Ph.D degrees, help higher education leaders make informed decisions about the introduction of new doctoral programs and improve existing ones. Studies also have an impact on different areas of learning, especially in education because the program can be evaluated not only educa- tors, but also by other professionals.
Analytical review of research, learning theory and practice on the issue of the existence of two degrees Ph.D. and Ed.D., has allowed researchers to develop reasonable guidelines for promoting doctorates in education in the United States and resolving existing contradictions. It should be emphasized that these studies help universities understand the importance of the reform of academic degrees, as well as provide practical actionable steps to its efficient and effective implementation.
It is concluded that implementation of Ph.D. and Ed.D. levels in education in Ukraine requires diligence in determining their content and target audience of consumers, and therefore at this stage of reforming of higher education is feasible only implementation of Ph.D. education without limiting access to scientific research in practical education.
Integration into the global scientific community (examplified by the reforms in the republic of china)
Authors: Vdovychenko Eugen ,   Kherson State Agricultural University
Published: November 2017

The paper looks at the reasons and the process of reforming the system of higher education in the Republic of China under conditions of globalization and implementing market economy. It highlights the astonishing success of this country in the modernization of education for a short period of time. The study focuses on the importance of the government social support for the development of science and the prestigiousness of a lecturer’s and a scientist’s jobs.
The paper specifies the main aspects of decentralization in Chinese higher education resulting in the formation of two levels of educational policies – governmental and regional. The governmental level deals with developing general principles and rules of regulating higher education; creating and implementing projects oriented towards achieving the world level of education. The regional level deals with solving the problem of training qualified workers aimed at enhancing the innovative economic development of the territories.
The study stresses upon the measures taken by China’s government to improve scientific activities at the universities.
Great importance has been assigned to the development of students’ analytical, critical, creative thinking, intellectual independence and the ability to gain, extract and transform information.
The paper analyzes the policy of the eastern country regarding the reforms of managing personnel in the educational institutions. The closed appointment procedure has been eliminated – now it is public, announcing a vacancy and sharing the information about new vacant positions and applicants for them – for both academic and administrative staff. The programs promoting the creation of a competitive environment for the teaching staff have facilitated its continuous improvement. Now it is impossible to advance to higher positions only owing to one’s experience and academic qualification.
The conclusion can be drawn that if the government sets itself the task to take leading positions in the area of education, this task will not be solved without transformations in the economy and the system of government.
SPEECH RECOGNITION OF KV-PATTERNED INDONESIAN SYLLABLE USING MFCC, WAVELET AND HMM
Authors: Hidayat Syahroni
Published: November 2017

The Indonesian language is an agglutinative language which has complex suffixes and affixes attached on its root. For this reason there is a high possibility to recognize Indonesian speech based on its syllables. The syllable-based Indonesian speech recognition could reduce the database and recognize new Indonesian vocabularies which evolve as the result of language development. MFCC and WPT daubechies 3rd (DB3) and 7th (DB7) order methods are used in feature extraction process and HMM with Euclidean distance probability is applied for classification. The results shows that the best recognition rateis 75% and 70.8% for MFCC and WPT method respectively, which come from the testing using training data test. Meanwhile, for testing using external data test WPT method excel the MFCC method, where the best recognition rate is 53.1% for WPT and 47% for MFCC. For MFCC the accuracy increased asthe data length and the frame length increased. In WPT, the increase in accuracy is influenced by the length of data, type of the wavelet and decomposition level. It is also found that as the variation of state increased the recognition for both methods decreased.

Power system stabilizer (PSS) and flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) damping controller to improve the stability of the power system has been widely used. A coordinated control method based on the combined computational evolutionary theory is proposed to overcome some of damping controllers simultaneously so as to keep the allowable level of power system damping. It works by making full use of favorable interaction between the controlling and minimizing adverse interactions so that the power system oscillations can be suppressed effectively. Proportional integral derivative (PID) controller tuning based power system stabilizer types PSS3B (PIDPSS3B), static var compensator (SVC) and automatic voltage regulator (AVR) presented in this paper. PID controller gain parameters such as proportional, integral factor, differential coefficient and get AVR selected and optimized by BF-PSOTVAC. The integral time absolut error (ITAE) standards of optimization design as objective function. The results of simulations show that performance index of system the proposed method is 42.7890. The BF-PSOTVAC method has the capability to damping optimally and suppresses error to minimum.

Published: November 2017

In a communication using texts input, viseme (visual phonemes) is derived from a group of phonemes having similar visual appearances. Hidden Markov model (HMM) has been a popular mathematical approach for sequence classification such as speech recognition. For speech emotion recognition, a HMM is trained for each emotion and an unknown sample is classified according to the model which illustrate the derived feature sequence best. Viterbi algorithm, HMM is used for guessing the most possible state sequence of observable states. In this work, first stage, we defined system of an Indonesian viseme set and the associated mouth shapes, namely system of text input segmentation. The second stage, we defined a choice of one of affection type as input in the system. The last stage, we experimentally using Trigram HMMs for generating the viseme sequence to be used for synchronized mouth shape and lip movements. The whole system is interconnected in a sequence. The final system produced a viseme sequence for natural speech of Indonesian sentences with affection. We show through various experiments that the proposed, the results in about 82,19% relative improvement in classification accuracy.
HILLMAIL: A SECURE EMAIL SYSTEM FOR ANDROID-BASED MOBILE PHONE USING HILL CIPHER ALGORITHM
Authors: Karlita Tita
Published: November 2017

Nowadays, email has become the most widely communication way in daily life. Email is a very important method of communicating across the internet. During transmission and downloads, it uses protocols which are not secure. Spammers and scammers misuse these protocols to gain access to critical data stored in the email. This triggered concerns because sometimes email is used to exchange confidential messages. To improve security and efficiency of email system, we made an email security system for Android mobile phone using Hill Cipher algorithm. Hill Cipher is a classic cryptography algorithm that uses matrix inverse and matrix multiplication operations to hide the message. The initial stage of the encryption process is forming ciphertext by multiplying the key matrix with plaintext matrix. The contents of encrypted messages only can be read by legitimate recipient who has the key. Converting the ciphertext into plaintext is done by multiplying the ciphertext matrix with the inverse key matrix. The email content can be a plain message or a message with an attached file.

Authors: Prihandoko Prihandoko , Bertalya Bertalya
Published: November 2017

Indonesia is one of the country with a lot of natural disasters occurred every year. The victims of natural disasters, are quite high in terms of the number of deaths, missing people, injuries, sufferings and the number of refugees. Unfortunately, the number of victims is growing from year to year in the last ten years. Thus, based on this condition, this research is carried out in order to analyze the data of the natural disasters and their victims for the last five years. The analysis is intended to know what is the main cause of natural disaster. The series of data about the natural disaster and the weather condition is collected from the government office website. The analysis was carried out by implementing clustering technique to the data, by using k-means algorithm, after data preprocessing completed. The result of the research shows that the weather condition is not the main cause of the occurrence of natural disaster, but the geographical condition is the main trigger of the problem. In addition, this research also found that the data published by the government need to be updated regularly.
A COMBINATION DEEP BELIEF NETWORKS AND SHALLOW CLASSIFIER FOR SLEEP STAGE CLASSIFICATION
Authors: Yulita Intan Nurma , Rosadi Rudi , Purwani Sri , Awangga Rolly Maulana
Published: November 2017

In this research, it is proposed to use Deep Belief Networks (DBN) in shallow classifier for the automatic sleep stage classification. The automatic classification is required to minimize Polysomnography examination time because it needs more than two days for analysis manually. Thus the automatic mechanism is required. The Shallow classifier used in this research includes Naïve Bayes (NB), Bayesian Networks (BN), Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). The results obtained that many methods of the shallow classifier are increasing precision, recall, and F-Measure if they use DBN output as input for classification. Experiments that have been done indicate a significant increase of Naive Bayes after being combined with DBN. The high-level features generated by DBN are proven to be useful in helping Naive Bayes' performance. On the other hand, the combination of KNN with DBN shows a decrease because high-level features of DBN make it harder to find neighbors that optimize the performance of KNN.

Background and Aims: Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is often present in old populations. STEMI in young has significantly increased in recent years. We aim to study the conventional risk factors, clinical presentation, management and outcome of Acute STEMI in young patients.Methods: Medical records of all the young patients (aged less than 45 years), who were admitted in our hospital with the diagnosis of Acute STEMI and treated in between 1st July 2015 to 30th June 2016, were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics, conventional risk factors, clinical presentation, management and outcome were recorded.Results: There were total 1211 patients admitted for Acute STEMI, among them, 132(10.9%) were young patients, age ranged from 24 to 45 years with mean age 39.1±4.8 years, with 110 males. Anterior wall MI 50(37.8%) was the most common MI. Symptom onset to arrival to hospital ranged from 1 hour to 144 hours with mean of 19.4±2.4hours. Primary PCI was the mode of reperfusion in 59(44.6%) patients; thrombolysis was done in 19(14.3%) patients. The most common conventional risk factor was tobacco consumption; present in 91(68.9%) patients. Tobacco consumption was the only conventional risk factors in 27(20.4%) patients. There were four (4%) in-hospital mortality. Among the discharged patients all patients received Aspirin, Clopidogrel and Statin. Betablocker and Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/Angiotensin receptor blocker were prescribed in 99(75%) and 96 (72.7%) patients respectively. Mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 45.5±8.6%, with 99(77.3%) having Ejection Fraction ≥40%.Conclusions: Acute STEMI in young was common in male. Tobacco consumption was significant riskfactor. Acute STEMI in young has good prognosis.Journal of Advances in Internal Medicine 2017;06(02):27-31.

Published: November 2017

Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHC) is an uncommon variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy usually found as an incidental finding during routine echocardiography. It was first described by Sakamoto in 1976 in Japanese patients. Echocardiography is still considered as the best screening tool to assess AHC although MRI is considered as the gold standard for confirmation. In this case, we present a 21-year-old man with AHC who presented with recurrent brief syncopal episodes which were ignored by the patient until he was brought to us with prolonged syncope and wide complex tachycardia/ posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia. We observed the classical findings in the plain twelve lead electrocardiograms done after cardioversion. It is always wise to keep special attention to evaluate hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in young patients presenting with syncope.Journal of Advances in Internal Medicine 2017;06(02):32-34.

Kurzfassung

Maschinelles Lernen ermöglicht es, Gesetzmäßigkeiten automatisch aus Eingangsdaten und verknüpften Zielwerten zu „erlernen“ und Vorhersagen abzuleiten. Dies kann in der Produktion zur Prozessstabilisierung genutzt werden. Ein strukturierter Implementierungsansatz ist nötig, der datentechnische Anforderungen definiert und den Nutzen der digitalen zur analogen Problemlösungen abwägt. Am Institut PTW der TU Darmstadt wurde ein solcher Ansatz entwickelt. Erste Versuche zeigen, dass die Methode gezieltes maschinelles Lernen unterstützt und akkurate Vorhersagen zur Prozessstabilisierung ermöglicht.

Published: November 2017

Kurzfassung

Im Rahmen der Analyse und Bewertung des dynamischen Verformungsverhaltens von Werkzeugmaschinen kommt der modellgestützten Ermittlung des Eigenschwingungsverhaltens sowie der Nachgiebigkeitsfrequenzgänge eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Hierzu erfordern die Modelle neben einer weitgehend gesicherten Parametrierung der Strukturbauteile auch geeignete Modellierungsansätze für die Fügeverbindungen zwischen den Bauteilen. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt aktuelle Ergebnisse zur experimentellen Untersuchung realer Kontaktflächen und zur Analyse alternativer Modellierungsansätze innerhalb der Finite-Elemente-Methode vor.

Published: November 2017

Dairy cow welfare is an important consideration for optimal production in the dairy industry. Lameness affects the welfare of dairy herds by limiting productivity. Whilst the application of LS systems helps in identifying lame cows, the technique meets with certain constraints, ranging from the detection of mild gait changes to on-farm practical applications. Recent studies have shown that certain animal-based measures considered in welfare assessment, such as body condition, hock condition and leg hygiene, are associated with lameness in dairy cows. Furthermore, behavioural changes inherent in lame cows, especially the comfort in resting and lying down, have been shown to be vital indicators of cow welfare. Highlighting the relationship between lameness and these welfare indicators could assist in better understanding their role, either as risk factors or as consequences of lameness. Nevertheless, since the conditions predisposing a cow to lameness are multifaceted, it is vital to cite the factors that could influence the on-farm practical application of such welfare indicators in lameness studies. This review begins with the welfare consequences of lameness by comparing normal and abnormal gait as well as the use of LS system in detecting lame cows. Animal-based measures related to cow welfare and links with changes in locomotion as employed in lameness research are discussed. Finally, alterations in lying behaviour are also presented as indicators of lameness with the corresponding welfare implication in lame cows.
A Robust Optimization Strategy for Domestic Electric Water Heater Load Scheduling under Uncertainties
Authors: Wang Jidong , Shi Yingchen , Fang Kaijie , Zhou Yue , Li Yinqi
Published: November 2017

In this paper, a robust optimization strategy is developed to handle the uncertainties for domestic electric water heater load scheduling. At first, the uncertain parameters, including hot water demand and ambient temperature, are described as the intervals, and are further divided into different robust levels in order to control the degree of the conservatism. Based on this, traditional load scheduling problem is rebuilt by bringing the intervals and robust levels into the constraints, and are thus transformed into the equivalent deterministic optimization problem, which can be solved by existing tools. Simulation results demonstrate that the schedules obtained under different robust levels are of complete robustness. Furthermore, in order to offer users the most optimal robust level, the trade-off between the electricity bill and conservatism degree are also discussed.
Performance Comparison between AB5 and Superlattice Metal Hydride Alloys in Sealed Cells
Authors: Koch John , Young Kwo-Hsiung , Nei Jean , Hu Chaolan , Reichman Benjamin
Published: November 2017

High-power cylindrical nickel metal/hydride batteries using a misch metal-based Al-free superlattice alloy with a composition of La11.3Pr1.7Nd5.1Mg4.5Ni63.6Co13.6Zr0.2 were fabricated and evaluated against those using a standard AB5 metal hydride alloy. At room temperature, cells made with the superlattice alloy showed a 40% lower internal resistance and a 59% lower surface charge-transfer resistance compared to cells made with the AB5 alloy. At a low temperature (−10 °C), cells made with the superlattice alloy demonstrated an 18% lower internal resistance and a 60% lower surface charge-transfer resistance compared to cells made with the AB5 alloy. Cells made with the superlattice alloy exhibited a better charge retention at −10 °C. A cycle life comparison in a regular cell configuration indicated that the Al-free superlattice alloy contributes to a shorter cycle life as a result of the pulverization from the lattice expansion of the main phase.
Metal-Catalyzed Intra- and Intermolecular Addition of Carboxylic Acids to Alkynes in Aqueous Media: A Review
Authors: Francos Javier , Cadierno Victorio
Published: November 2017

The metal-catalyzed addition of carboxylic acids to alkynes is a very effective tool for the synthesis of carboxylate-functionalized olefinic compounds in an atom-economical manner. Thus, a large variety of synthetically useful lactones and enol-esters can be accessed through the intra- or intermolecular versions of this process. In order to reduce the environmental impact of these reactions, considerable efforts have been devoted in recent years to the development of catalytic systems able to operate in aqueous media, which represent a real challenge taking into account the tendency of alkynes to undergo hydration in the presence of transition metals. Despite this, different Pd, Pt, Au, Cu and Ru catalysts capable of promoting the intra- and intermolecular addition of carboxylic acids to alkynes in a selective manner in aqueous environments have appeared in the literature. In this review article, an overview of this chemistry is provided. The synthesis of β-oxo esters by catalytic addition of carboxylic acids to terminal propargylic alcohols in water is also discussed.
Determining the Presence of Spalted Wood in Spanish Marquetry Woodworks of the 1500s through the 1800s
Authors: Vega Gutierrez Patricia , Robinson Seri
Published: November 2017

The process of using fungal-colored wood (spalted wood) for marquetry and intarsia woodworks in Italy and Germany was very popular from the 1400–1600s, with some instances continuing as late as the 1800s. While spalted marquetry in these countries is relatively well documented, less is known about its use in other parts of Europe. One of the primary reasons for this lack of knowledge is the difficulty in identifying spalted wood, especially the blue-green variety produced from Chlorociboria species, from wood dyed with copper-based compounds or other synthetics. The most reliable testing method involves destructive sampling, where a small piece is taken from the work, the pigment extracted, and an analysis performed. Such sampling is simply not feasible, nor often allowed, on ancient artwork. To make a reliable, non-destructive identification of spalted wood, a visual method based on anatomical characteristics of spalted wood was developed to differentiate spalted wood from dyed wood. High-resolution pictures were taken from wooden artifacts containing blue-green colored wood in collections at the National Museum of Decorative Arts (MNAD), the Royal Site Monastery El Escorial and the Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts in Spain. The concentration of pigment in the rays, the color distribution, the size of the piece and the date of production, were analyzed. With the use of this new visual method, it was possible to determine that intarsia artifacts, held in Spain but of Augsburg origin from the 1500–1600s, contained spalted wood details. Meanwhile, Spanish and Italian intarsia artifacts from the 1800s were found to only contain dyed wood.
