Authors: Nurhidayah Yayah
Published: September 2018

Mask dance is one of the artistic potential of traditional media can be used as an alternate to the development of Islam. Elements of traditional and communicative nature of the performing arts, enabling to serve as an effective medium of information, without losing the element of entertainment. Unfortunately, the art of dance performances mask yet empowered as a package for maximum performance as well as guidance. the role of the mask dance used functioned as a medium for the spread of Islam, gradually shrinking. Globalization has led to the emergence of modern cultures and marginalized traditional art, art that potential existence is increasingly squeezed by the presence of popular art, and gradually abandoned his fans and Mask dance more exclusive. Therefore, needs to be revitalized, especially the function and role of the missionary expansion in the future.Tari topeng merupakan salah satu potensi kesenian tradisional yang dapat dijadikan sebagai media aternatif untuk pengembangan dakwah Islam. Unsur tradisional dan sifat komunikatif dari seni pertunjukkan tersebut, memudahkan untuk dijadikan sebagai media penerangan yang efektif, tanpa harus kehilangan unsur hiburannya. Sayangnya, seni pertunjukkan tari topeng belum diberdayakan secara maksimal sebagai paket tontonan sekaligus tuntunan. Peran tari topeng yang dulu difungsikan sebagai media syiar Islam, lambat laun menyusut. Arus globalisasi telah mendorong munculnya kebudayaan-kebudayaan modern dan memarginalisasi kesenian tradisonal, sehingga seni yang potensial ini keberadaannya makin terjepit oleh keberadaan seni populer, dan berangsur-angsur ditinggalkan penggemarnya sehingga tari topengpun makin ekslusif. Oleh karena itu, perlu direvitalisasi terutama makna,  fungsi dan perannya untuk pengembangan dakwah di masa depan.
Pesan Dakwah Hasan Al-Banna dalam Buku Majmu’at al-Rasail
Authors: Fuadi M. Hanif
Published: September 2018

This article analyzes the message of Hasan al-Banna's preaching in the book Majmu'at al-Rasail relating to the aqeedah, sharia and morals. The study used critical discouse analysis method of Norman Fairclough with an emphasis on the background of the social situation until the message of da'wah was formulated. The results of the research show that the message of da'wah in the book Majmu'at al-Rasail can be explained, among others: the message of the faith in theological discourse, the message of sharia in the discourse of power and the moral message in the discourse of social relations. The monotheistic belief system must be able to provide the divine spirit in all dimensions of life. This spirit grows out of true, pure, clean faith from the element of shirk to God; the sharia system requires applicable law according to the teachings of Islam, focusing on a number of social and political problems that hit the country of Egypt after the destruction of the Ottoman Caliph which fell into British hands. The message of Hasan al-Banna's preaching was oriented towards reforming the living system which was damaged by colonialism and desirous of returning it to the Islamic system.Artikel ini menganalisis pesan dakwah Hasan al-Banna dalam buku Majmu’at al-Rasail yang berkaitan dengan akidah, syariah dan akhlak. Penelitian menggunakan metode analisis wacana kritis Norman Fairclough dengan penekanan pada latar situasi sosial sampai pesan dakwah terumuskan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pesan dakwah dalam  buku Majmu’at al-Rasail dapat  dijelaskan antara lain: pesan akidah dalam wacana teologi, pesan syariah dalam wacana kekuasaan dan pesan akhlak dalam wacana relasi sosial. Sistem keyakinan tauhid harus mampu memberikan semangat ketuhanan dalam segenap dimensi kehidupan. Semangat tersebut tumbuh dari akidah yang benar, murni, bersih dari unsur syirik kepada Allah; sistem syariah menghendaki hukum yang berlaku sesuai ajaran Islam, fokus pada sejumlah permasalahan sosial dan politik yang melanda negeri Mesir pasca kehancuran Khalifah Utsmaniyah yang jatuh ke tangan Inggris. Pesan dakwah Hasan al-Banna berorientasi pada pembenahan sistem kehidupan yang rusak karena penjajahan dan berhasrat mengembalikannya pada sistem Islam.
Diabetes research in Mexico: a map of 13 years of public funding
Authors: Rojas-Rajs Soledad , Natera José Miguel , Gómez Oswaldo Sinoé Medina
Published: September 2018

Abstract: In Mexico, diabetes represents a serious public health problem and a high-cost disease for the health system. Health research is essential for generating new knowledge to combat such a serious issue, however, there is not enough information on how to generate and use it. This paper examines the public funding of 303 diabetes research projects, granted by the National Council of Science and Technology in Mexico between 2002 and 2014. The projects were systematized and classified according to their type of research, discipline or subject, and aim of knowledge. Considering these information, an econometric model that links the funding with the characteristics of the projects was prepared. The results show that the funding is focused on the basic and biomedical areas, particularly on genetic research, and also that diabetes research resources have increased over time, not steadily, but rather cyclically. In diabetes research projects there is a high level of concentration at several dimensions: research areas, topics, objects, institutions conducting research, and regions. The analysis of the resource allocation suggests that Mexico needs a stronger and oriented diabetes research agenda, including in its bases discussions about balance between basic and applied research, and about oriented research towards practical implementations. The importance of promoting health systems research to improve diabetes care is also discussed, as well as implementing mechanisms to assess the impact of diabetes research in short, medium and long term, as part of Mexico’s science and technology policy.

Published: September 2018

Resumo: Este estudo tem por objetivo caracterizar a estrutura de capital das cooperativas agropecuárias paranaenses e suas peculiaridades regionais. Foram analisados os contextos históricos regionais e as formas de capitalização vis-à-vis os processos de colonização de imigrantes europeus e de outros estados brasileiros e os projetos regionais de desenvolvimento. Para tal, foi utilizada uma amostra intencional das 43 cooperativas paranaenses que, juntas, representam 99,5% do faturamento total do ramo. As peculiaridades regionais foram analisadas por meio de Análise de Variância (ANOVA) e mapeamento perceptual. Conclui-se que é possível identificar agrupamentos de cooperativas segundo estratégias de capitalização e características regionais. Dentre as regiões analisadas, as cooperativas da região oeste do estado do Paraná, por terem maior nível de industrialização, possuem maior necessidade de capital de giro, enquanto a maioria das cooperativas do centro-sul do estado apresenta tesouraria positiva. Uma limitação do estudo é que, sem entender qual modelo poderia ser eleito o melhor para o setor, a questão da estrutura ótima de capital ainda permanece aberta para as cooperativas agropecuárias.

Resumo Contexto Os aneurismas de aorta abdominal (AAA) infrarrenal apresentam alta morbimortalidade associada à ruptura e podem ser tratados por cirurgia aberta ou endovascular. Objetivos Analisar os fatores de risco e a sobrevida associados aos métodos cirúrgico e endovascular no tratamento do AAA. Métodos Estudo retrospectivo e longitudinal envolvendo 41 pacientes submetidos à correção endovascular ou aberta do AAA, de forma eletiva ou emergencial, no período de 48 meses. Foi realizada análise de comorbidades pré-operatórias, sobrevida em 30 dias e 1 ano, mortalidade hospitalar, tempo de internação, hemotransfusões, duração da cirurgia e ocorrência de insuficiência renal aguda. A estatística inferencial e a análise de sobrevida foram realizadas considerando intervalo de confiança de 95% e p < 0,05 como significante. Resultados Dos 41 pacientes, 12 foram submetidos à correção aberta e 29, à endovascular. A maioria eram homens (75%), com média de idade de 71 anos (mín. 56, máx. 90 anos). Não houve diferenças de fatores de risco entre os grupos. A sobrevida global dos pacientes foi diferente para os tratamentos aberto e endovascular, tanto em 30 dias (37 vs. 72%; p = 0,01) quanto em 360 dias (37 vs. 67%; p = 0,01), respectivamente. A sobrevida dos casos eletivos em 30 dias (71 vs. 76%; p = 0,44) e 360 dias (ambas 71%; p = 0,34) foram semelhantes. O reparo endovascular apresentou menor tempo de internação (3,0 vs. 4,4 dias; p = 0,02) e duração da cirurgia (111 vs. 163 min; p = 0,005) quando comparado à cirurgia aberta. Conclusões Não houve diferença na sobrevida em curto e médio prazo dos pacientes com AAA tratados de forma eletiva pelas técnicas endovascular e cirúrgica. Menor tempo de internação e duração da cirurgia foram observados no tratamento minimamente invasivo.

Published: September 2018

Abstract In hogging bending moment regions of continuous composite beams the collapse by lateral-distortional buckling (LDB) can occur. The design against LDB according to ABNT NBR 8800:2008 begins with the determination of the elastic critical moment, which depends, among other factors, of the distribution of the bending moment in the analyzed span, taken into account in the formulation through the modification parameter Cdist. To assess the analytical formulations prescribed by ABNT NBR 8800:2008, numerical FE models that simulate the LDB behavior of continuous steel-concrete composite beams were developed in this paper. The different boundary conditions presented in ABNT NBR 8800:2008 were checked using two different models: a simplified model, with a single simply supported span; and models with multiple internal supports and more than one span. It was observed that the Cdist values prescribed by ABNT NBR 8800:2008 can be unsafe, and therefore new values for Cdist are proposed in this paper.

Authors: CANAVAL J. H. , SILVA T. J. DA , SANTOS A. C.
Published: September 2018

Abstract This work is based on an experimental investigation of reinforced concrete beams strengthened to flexure for wrapping applying a type of metallic connector in the bond substrate/groute. The experimental program consisted of 5 beams used for reference (without strengthening), 5 beams reinforced with surface brushed texture substrate and 5 beams with metal connectors bonded to the substrate. The beams were submitted to four-point load bending test. Initially with a partial loading, executed the strengthening and were finally tested until the break. The strengthening was made up by the increase by graute, on the sides and bottom of the beam and reinforcing. The applied force, the displacement, deformations in steel and in concrete were measured. The reference beams failure by flexing with the calculated charges. The bending strengthening proved efficient, increasing the bearing capacity in 44% and the failure was by shear in the stretch without strengthening. Beams with connectors the increase was higher.
Narrativa autoficcial em A resistência: intersecções entre o real e o ficcional
Authors: Rieger Nicole Petry , Mello Giulio , Domingos Ana Cláudia Munari
Published: September 2018

O presente trabalho se vincula ao projeto Vozes da cultura contemporânea 2: o narrador na cultura da conexão, orientado pela Prof.ª Dr.ª Ana Cláudia Munari, o qual objetiva analisar a produção ficcional contemporânea a fim de encontrar tendências que se relacionem a novas práticas de leitura e escrita. Neste trabalho, nosso objeto é uma dessas tendências, a autoficção. A narrativa autoficcional pode ser observada em duas formas de ocorrência: quando os relatos de vivência do narrador se assemelham à biografia do autor empírico, ou nos trechos em que o narrador simula o processo de escrita (KLINGER, 2012). Para compreender essa presença autoficcional, o presente trabalho analisa A resistência (2015), de Julián Fuks. Na obra há, entre o autor e o narrador, uma aproximação íntima, uma mistura entre as experiências de um e a narrativa do outro. Ali, assistimos a um jogo performático no qual o narrador-protagonista assume estar escrevendo um livro, encenando seu processo de escritura para aquele que o lê. As revelações do próprio autor sobre a inserção de fatos reais no livro e a performance da escrita evidenciam uma conexão intrínseca entre a vida de Fuks e seu narrador. É nas confluências entre o real e o ficcional que focalizamos nossa análise.

Lifelong approach to prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases – a road from theory to practice in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Mesihovic-Dinarevic Senka , Ramić-Čatak Aida , Jatic Zaim
Published: September 2018

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major cause of disability and premature death all over the world. Annually, 17.5 million people die from CVDs, representing 30% of the total number of deaths. Despite established guidelines for the treatment of acute coronary syndrome, cardiac weakness, atrial fibrillation and CVD prevention, many patients remain inadequately treated, particularly in less developed nations. A brief overview of the development of CVDs, description of the current practice guidelines, and a cross sectional analyses of the status of CVD prevention and control in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is given. In the past 7 years, there has been a steady increase in deaths, where half of all deaths in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina are attributed to CVDs. Deaths from the acute myocardial infarction had a rate of 91.0/100,000 inhabitants, a significant increase compared to 2010, when this rate was 69.2. The second leading cause of death, a stroke, with a rate of 87.1 showed a slight decrease compared to 2010, when it was 89.9. The third leading cause of death, heart failure, with a rate of 68.4, has a slight decrease compared to 2010, when the rate was 75.7. CVDs are the leading cause of mortality in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which, in addition to the large number of premature deaths, also causes major costs for the health sector and economy.
Influence of DEM resolution on topographic correction models using spot satellite image
Authors: Chiu Ting-Pin , Wang Su-Fen
Published: September 2018

Topographic correction models (TCMs) are valid on satellite image data preprocessing steps. Theillumination angle may be sensitive to different terrain slope and aspect conditions base on sun-terrain-sensorgeometry. Although the topographic correction is influenced by the sun azimuth and zenith angle, the correction resultcan be equally in the same image status. By contrast, the terrain factors change with different digital elevation model(DEM) resolution in the topographic correction equations and cause a significant effect. Slope is sensitive in ruggedterrain, and aspect is impressionable at flat surface at a coarse DEM resolution data. As the DEM resolution lead adistinct result on TCMs, this research is aimed to examine the impact of DEM resolution on the accuracy of terrainrepresentation and of the gradient determined. In this study, five TCMs, including cosine correction, C correction, SCS correction, SCS+C correction and Minnaert correction models are compared by different resolutions using SPOTimage data. The 5 meter DEM obtained from Ministry of the interior will be resampled to 10 to 500 meters to testthose topographic models sustainability on Lienhuachih Research Center. The accuracy of five topographic correctionmodels base on different DEM resolution will be evaluated by root-mean-square error (RMSE).

Unique—Image fusion in light of the wavelet and fourier trans-form comes about rich multispectral points of interest yet gives less spatial subtle elements from source images. Wavelet transform performs well at straight highlights yet not at non-direct discontinuities since Wavelets don't utilize the geometric properties of structures. Curvelet transforms defeat such troubles in include rep-resentation. A novel Image fusion rule by means of high pass balance utilizing Local Magnitude Ratio (LMR) in Fast Discrete Curvelet Transforms domain (FDCT) and Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is characterized. Indian Remote Sensing Geo satellite images are utilized for MS and Pan images. This fusion rule creates HR multispectral image with high spatial resolution.

Dealing with Defeat: Dutch Brazil (1624) and English Jamaica (1655) in Newspapers from the Habsburg Netherlands
Authors: Bousard Tiffany
Published: September 2018

Covering defeat or disaster in print required considerable journalistic finesse in the Southern Netherlandish news market, since the primary role of privileged courantiers in the Habsburg empire was to provide accounts of royal successes. This article investigates the ways in which the Antwerp printer-publisher Abraham Verhoeven and Brussels newsman Pierre Hugonet covered two main Atlantic events with a negative outcome for the Habsburg monarchy: the Dutch invasion of Brazil in 1624 and the English capture of Jamaica in 1655 respectively. By comparing these major Atlantic news stories, this article will deepen our understanding of how these gazetteers, who differed in professional background and operated decades apart, dealt with defeat suffered in the Western Hemisphere. It will argue that both newspapermen presented the Habsburg setbacks in a strikingly similar way, using largely the same editorial and rhetorical strategies. This suggests that there appeared to be a ‘discourse of defeat’ in the Habsburg Netherlands, which newspaper publishers adapted to satisfy both their customers and central authorities throughout the seventeenth century. This ‘discourse of defeat’, however, was not confined solely to the southern provinces, as Dutch and English courantiers employed similar tactics to cover up bad news. Therefore, government control and pre-emptive censorship, which continue to be considered dominant features of the Southern Netherlandish media landscape, appear to have played a less decisive role in the way newspaper publishers covered defeat than hitherto has been presumed.

Published: September 2018

O trabalho propõe parâmetros concretos, à luz das normas regulatórias, de iniciativas autorregulatórias, das melhores práticas de mercado (identificadas a partir de pesquisa empírica com instituições financeiras brasileiras e europeias) e das normas e procedimentos adotados por cada instituição financeira, para definir em que situações e em que medida elas as podem ser responsabilizadas por danos sociais ou ambientais causados por empreendimentos por elas financiados, seja mediante concessão de crédito, seja mediante realização de investimentos. Também são examinadas as diversas correntes doutrinárias atualmente existentes sobre o assunto, que buscam definir como objetiva ou subjetiva essa responsabilidade, examinando-se se é possível ou não limitá-la no tempo e se é o caso de admitir-se um regime de solidariedade (e com base em que critérios). Ainda, é analisada a jurisprudência brasileira sobre o tema. Por fim, examina-se se é possível reconhecer sigilo bancário em relação a informações de interesse socioambiental detidas por instituições financeiras com o propósito de realizar análise de riscos desta natureza.
A Qualitative Study of Sexual Assault Disclosure Impact and Help-Seeking on Support Providers
Authors: Kirkner Anne , Lorenz Katherine , Ullman Sarah E. , Mandala Rupashree
Published: September 2018

Friends, family, and significant others who receive disclosures of sexual assault from survivors are also susceptible to the effects of trauma. Most studies on the impact of sexual assault disclosure focus on the experiences of friends of survivors but not significant others or family members, and do not examine support providers’ (SPs) help-seeking behaviors. This study of 45 matched pairs of sexual assault survivors and SPs explored the impact of receiving a disclosure and dealing with the emotional weight of these disclosures. SPs were impacted emotionally and in post-disclosure behaviors. SPs reported feeling sadness, were triggered, felt angry, and felt inspired by survivors’ disclosures. Active cognitive and behavioral reactions included care-taking of survivors and engaging in prevention. SPs discussed different ways they sought help to deal with the disclosure and why they did or did not seek help post-disclosure. We provide recommendations for SPs and service providers using this data from a diverse, community sample.
O princípio da dialógica: entre a disciplinaridade e a transdisciplinaridade

Published: September 2018

O objetivo deste estudo é discutir, a partir do pensamento complexo, as possibilidades para a organização dos currículos dos cursos de licenciatura. A estratégia orientadora desta investigação foi a pesquisa qualitativa de base hermenêutica. A partir do estudo realizado, sugerimos que os currículos dos cursos de licenciatura, que, em geral, são disciplinares, pautados na lógica clássica aristotélica, sejam tensionados para uma lógica fraca, incorporando o princípio da dialógica. Neste sentido, entendemos que um caminho seja a transformação das disciplinas, em direção a ‘transdisciplinas’. Entendemos também que o currículo precisa ser compreendido como uma estratégia de hetero e autoformação.

Published: September 2018

Este artigo analisa a alfabetização e o letramento na normatização educacional brasileira a partir da Constituição Federal de 1988. Analisamos documentos que orientam a construção de currículos para a educação básica. Os aportes teóricos são estudos produzidos no campo do currículo e os dos Estudos do Letramento. Os resultados do estudo mostram que, no plano do discurso, a legislação traz avanços no que se refere ao acesso à educação obrigatória, sobretudo na direção da universalização da alfabetização, e traz perspectivas de inclusão social a partir da instituição do processo de alfabetização aliado ao letramento. Contudo, no plano prático, só significam avanços de fato se forem acompanhadas por políticas que viabilizem seu cumprimento.
Reflexões sobre o ensino da leitura no contexto das transformações culturais
Authors: De Santana Luciene De Cassia
Published: September 2018

RESUMO: Este artigo tem como objetivo promover o debate sobre o processo de ensino e aprendizagem da leitura face às transformações culturais ocorridas na contemporaneidade, sobretudo no que diz respeito ao uso das novas tecnologias da informação e comunicação, à heterogeneidade cultural dos diversos atores envolvidos na esfera educacional, a partir dos estudos de Ferreiro (2013), Colello (2015) e Chartier (1999;2003;2009). Para tanto, discorremos acerca dos discursos sobre leitura e suas implicações no processo de ensino/alfabetização, pois consideramos que as apropriações e as representações se constroem historicamente e, portanto, o que o que ensina e como se ensina não são ações interdependentes.

Authors: Pathak Ashish , Agrawal Nitin , Mehra Love , Mathur Aditya , Diwan Vishal
Published: September 2018

Background: There is lack of data on types of community first aids use and treatment given post injuries from many low-middle income countries, including India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among children up-to 18 years of age, in Ujjain district, India to understand types of first aid given and health seeking post injury. Results: A total of 1087 injuries, in 1049 children were identified in last one year, 729 (67%) received, first aid and 758 (72%) sought some healthcare. Children with burns received most (86%) first aid, while most children (84%) with road traffic accidents (RTA) sought health care. Most children (52%) sought healthcare from a private health set-up; most (65%) being transported within the golden hour; motorbikes being the most preferred (50%) mode of transport. Only 1% injured used ambulance services. Commonly reported first aid included: use of coconut oil on wounds from falls (38%) and burns (44%); antiseptic cream on wounds from RTA (31%), turmeric in falls (16%), and rubbing of metal on a bitten site (47%). Potentially harmful substances applied included lime, toothpaste, clay and mud. Conclusion: In most injuries, appropriate locally available substances, were used by the community. Our findings will help design community interventions to increase appropriate first aid in childhood injuries.
Electrokinetic Characterization of Natural Stones Coated with Nanocomposites for the Protection of Cultural Heritage
Authors: Roveri Marco , Raneri Simona , Bianchi Sabrina , Gherardi Francesca , Castelvetro Valter , Toniolo Lucia
Published: September 2018

Protective coatings, in recent years also from nanocomposite formulations, are commonly applied onto architectural stone and stone artefacts, mainly to prevent absorption into the porous stone structure of condensed water and dissolved atmospheric pollutants. While standard protocols are available to assess a coating’s performance, understanding the response of the coating-stone system is a complex task, due to the interplay of various factors determining the overall behaviour. Characterization techniques allowing to correlate the extent and nature of surface modification upon treatment with the most relevant physical properties (i.e water absorption and surface wettability) are thus of great interest. Electrokinetic analysis based on streaming current measurements, thanks to its sensitivity towards even minor changes in the surface chemical composition, may fulfil such requirement. Indeed, by involving the interaction with a testing aqueous electrolyte solution, this technique allows to probe not only the outer surface but also the outermost layer of the pore network, which plays a crucial role in the interaction of the stone with condensed atmospheric water. In this work a correlation was found between the extent of surface modification, as determined by streaming current measurements, surface wettability and capillary water absorption of 6 coating-lithotype combinations (3 lithotypes and 2 nanocomposites).

Murine herpesvirus-68 (MHV-68) productively infects the mouse lungs, exhibiting a complex pathology characteristic of both acute viral infections and chronic respiratory diseases. We sought to discover proteins differentially expressed in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from mice infected with MHV-68. Mice were infected intranasally with MHV-68. After 9 days, as the lytic phase of infection resolved, differential BAL proteins were identified by 2D electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Of 23 unique proteins, acute phase proteins, vitamin A transport, and oxidative stress response factors Pdx6 and EC-SOD (Sod3) were enriched. Correspondingly, iNOS2 was induced in lung tissue by 7 days post infection. Oxidative stress was partly a direct result of MHV-68 infection, as reactive oxygen species (ROS) were induced in cultured murine NIH3T3 fibroblasts and human lung A549 cells infected with MHV-68. Finally, mice were infected with a recombinant MHV-68 co-expressing inflammatory cytokine murine interleukin 6 (IL6) showed exacerbated oxidative stress and soluble type I collagen characteristic of tissue recovery. Thus, oxidative stress appears to be a salient feature of MHV-68 pathogenesis, in part caused by lytic replication of virus and IL6. Proteins and small molecules in lung oxidative stress networks therefore may provide new therapeutic targets to ameliorate respiratory virus infections.

Published: September 2018

The Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) of the Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) increases the chance of acquiring images with greater clarity at eight times a day and is equipped with spectral bands suitable for monitoring crop yield with a moderate spatial resolution. The objectives of this study were to classify nationwide paddy fields and to project rice (Oryza sativa) yield and production using the grid-based GRAMI-rice model and GOCI satellite products over South Korea from 2011 to 2014. Solar insolation and temperatures were obtained from COMS and the Korea local analysis and prediction system for model inputs, respectively. The paddy fields and transplanting dates were estimated using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) reflectance and land cover products. The crop model was calibrated using observed yield data in 11 counties and was applied to 62 counties in South Korea. The overall accuracies of the detected paddy fields ranged from 89.5 to 90.2%. The simulated rice yields statistically agreed with observed yields, with root-mean-square errors of 0.219 to 0.451 ton ha-1 and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiencies of 0.241 to 0.733 in four years, respectively. According to paired t-tests (α = 0.05), the simulated and observed rice yields were not significantly different. These results demonstrate the possible development of a crop information delivery system that can classify land cover, simulate crop yield, and monitor regional crop production on a national scale.

Published: September 2018

This research work explains the practical realization of hybrid solar wind based standalone power system with maximum power point tracker (MPPT) to produce electrical power in rural places (residential applications). The solar inspired Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based MPPT algorithm is employed for the purpose of fast and accurate tracking power from solar and wind system. Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) inverter controlling strategy is adopted in this presented work compared to classical PI control. Moreover, single Cuk converter is operated as impedance power adapter to execute MPPT functioning. Satisfactory practical results have been realized using dSPACE (DS1104) platform that justify the superiority of proposed algorithms designed under various operating situations.
Mapping and forecasting onsets of harmful algal blooms using MODIS data over coastal waters surrounding Charlotte County, Florida

Published: September 2018

Over the past two decades, persistent occurrences of harmful algal blooms (HAB; Karenia brevis) have been reported in Charlotte County, southwestern Florida. We developed data-driven models that rely on spatiotemporal remote sensing and field data to identify factors controlling HAB propagation, provide a same-day distribution (nowcasting), and forecast their occurrences up to three days in advance. We constructed multivariate regression models using historical HAB occurrences (213 events reported from January 2010 to October 2017) compiled by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and validated the models against a subset (20%) of the reported historical events. The models were designed to specifically capture the onset of the HABs instead of those that developed days earlier and continued thereafter. A prototype of an early warning system was developed through a threefold exercise. The first step involved the automatic downloading and processing of daily Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua products using SeaDAS ocean color processing software to extract temporal and spatial variations of remote sensing-based variables over the study area. The second step involved the development of a multivariate regression model for same-day mapping of HABs and similar subsequent models for forecasting HAB occurrences one, two, and three days in advance. Eleven remote sensing variables and two non-remote sensing variables were used as inputs for the generated models. In the third and final step, model outputs (same-day and forecasted distribution of HABs) were posted automatically on a web-based GIS (http://www.esrs.wmich.edu/webmap/bloom/). Our findings include the following: (1) the variables most indicative of the timing of bloom propagation are bathymetry, euphotic depth, wind direction, SST, chlorophyll-a [OC3M] and distance from the river mouth, and (2) the model predictions were 90% successful for same-day mapping and 65%, 72% and 71% for the one-, two- and three-day advance predictions, respectively. The adopted methodologies are reliable, dependent on readily available remote sensing data sets, and cost-effective and thus could potentially be used to map and forecast algal bloom occurrences in data-scarce regions.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the evolution of the Syrah red and sparkling Moscatel wines stored for 12 months in green, amber and clear bottles. The phenolic compounds profile and antioxidant activity in vitro were determined. Commercial wines were bottled in an automatic filling machine, stored and analyzed every three months for one year. Several phenolic compound families were quantified through reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) coupled to diode-array detection (DAD) and fluorescence detection (FD). The different bottle colors studied did not influence the evolution of the sparkling Moscatel and Syrah red wines, since the main variations obtained were related to storage time. The main changes were observed in the Syrah wine, where storage time was associated with an increase in hue (h*), decrease in catechins, increase in procyanidins and, most notably, a decrease in the anthocyanin malvidin 3-glucoside. In general, the wines showed good stability in relation to the antioxidant activity in vitro.

Best horticulture management has been practiced to reduce the amount of inorganic fertilizer in connection with net (mosquito net)  for higher production of Indian spinach. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture promoted negative effect on the environment and human health in Bangladesh. The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during the period February to May 2016. Two factor experiments were conducted on nettings: control (N0), Netting (N1) and different fertilizers: control (F0), Vermicompost 10 t/ha (F1), Vermicompost 15 t/ha (F2), 2/3rdof F2+ 1/3rdof F4 (F3), Inorganic fertilizer (F4). Combination of mosquito net and combined of organic and inorganic fertilizers (N1F3) gave the significantly higher growth and yield of Indian spinach compared to other treatment combination. The maximum vine length (77.71 cm), after 45 days after sowing was found from N1F3 which was 72% higher compared to control. The highest yield of Indian spinach was 38.67 t/ha from N1F3 which was 80% higher compared to control. The treatment combination of N1F3 provided maximum leaf numbers per plant, leaf length.
Sub-Bankfull Flow Frequency versus Magnitude of Flood Events in Outlining Effective Discharges. Case Study: Trotuș River (Romania)
Authors: Dumitriu Dan
Published: September 2018

Effective discharge, which represents the flow, or range of flows, that transport the most sediment over long term, was determined based on the mean daily flow discharge and mean daily suspended sediment discharge recorded between 1994 and 2014 at four gauging stations along the Trotuș River. This study proposes an efficient method for the estimation of effective discharge based on observed values of the suspended sediment load. By employing this method the suspended sediment load is no longer either under- or overestimated as in the cases when the assessment is based on sediment rating curves. The assessment on effective discharge was performed at two distinct levels: for the entire data series during the investigated time spans and, subsequently, for flows less than the bankfull discharge. The effectiveness curves of the suspended sediment transport characteristics revealed highly multimodal characteristics with many peaks, indicating ample ranges for the effective discharges. The main effective discharge corresponded to large flood events, which are typical for the upper end of the discharge range, whereas the secondary effective discharges corresponded to sub-bankfull flows, which are more frequent. The changes that occurred in the channel bed are reflected by the temporal variations in the effective discharge.
Modeling Membrane-Protein Interactions

Published: September 2018

In order to alter and adjust the shape of the membrane, cells harness various mechanisms of curvature generation. Many of these curvature generation mechanisms rely on the interactions between peripheral membrane proteins, integral membrane proteins, and lipids in the bilayer membrane. One of the challenges in modeling these processes is identifying the suitable constitutive relationships that describe the membrane free energy that includes protein distribution and curvature generation capability. Here, we review some of the commonly used continuum elastic membrane models that have been developed for this purpose and discuss their applications. Finally, we address some fundamental challenges that future theoretical methods need to overcome in order to push the boundaries of current model applications.
