Published: May 2018

The evolution of W/O emulsion versus time in microgravity conditions has been studied in the framework of the FASES (Fundamental and Applied Studies on Emulsion Stability) project sponsored by the European Space Agency (ESA). The objective of this study was to investigate the evolution of W/O emulsions made of water + paraffin oil + SPAN 80® under purely diffusive conditions (no gravity driven effects) and to compare with evolution of similar emulsions observed on ground. A correlation between the state of dispersion of water and either the freezing temperature during cooling, or the freezing time at a fixed temperature was used to follow the emulsion evolution versus time. For that purpose, two identical calorimeters were built by Airbus (formerly EADS) with the support of the French company SETARAM: The Flight Model (FM) located onboard the International Space Station (ISS) and the Engineering Model (EM) located at the TELESPAZIO Centre in Naples. Dedicated cells were filled on ground with different formulations of W/O emulsions and identical experiments were performed with the FM and the EM models in order to highlight the differences in emulsion evolution. On ground, the experiments were performed by cooling and heating the calorimeter between 40 °C and −60 °C but due to technical constraints in the FM, the experiments performed in the FSL (Fluid Science Laboratory) of the ISS were limited to a lowest temperature of −22 °C. The results obtained with the FM confirmed the formation of emulsions in the dedicated cell with the selected stirring system in space. These results also demonstrated that it is possible to detect the freezing and the melting of the water droplets with the designed calorimeter either during cooling and heating phases or versus time during a temperature holding period at −22 °C. Furthermore, the comparison between both results obtained with the EM on ground and with the FM in space revealed distinct behaviours. This study drove us to focus on other mechanisms than sedimentation and convection to account for the destabilization of these kinds of emulsions.
The Potential of Photoelectrochemical Carbon Sinks
Authors: May Matthias , Rehfeld Kira
Published: May 2018

Greenhouse gas emissions must be cut to limit global warming to 1.5-2C above preindustrial levels. Yet the rate of decarbonisation is currently too low to achieve this. Policy-relevant scenarios therefore rely on the permanent removal of CO2 from the atmosphere. However, none of the envisaged technologies has demonstrated scalability to the decarbonization targets for the year 2050. In this analysis, we show that artificial photosynthesis for CO2 reduction may deliver an efficient large-scale carbon sink. This technology is mainly developed towards solar fuels and its potential for negative emissions has been largely overlooked. With high efficiency and low sensitivity to high temperature and illumination conditions, it could, if developed towards a mature technology, present a viable approach to fill the gap in the negative emissions budget.
First Principles Mechanistic Study of Self-Limiting Oxidative Adsorption of Remote Oxygen Plasma During the Atomic Layer Deposition of Alumina
Authors: Fomengia Glen N. , Nolan Michael , Elliott Simon D.
Published: May 2018

Plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (ALD) of metal oxides is a rapidly gaining interest especially in the electronics industry because of its numerous advantages over the thermal process. However, the underlying reaction mechanism is not sufficiently understood, particularly regarding saturation of the reaction and densification of the film. In this work, we employ first principles density functional theory (DFT) to determine the predominant reaction pathways, surface intermediates and by-products formed when constituents of O2-plasma or O3 adsorb onto a methylated surface typical of TMA-based alumina ALD. The main outcomes are that a wide variety of barrierless and highly exothermic reactions can take place. This leads to the spontaneous production of various by-products with low desorption energies and also of surface intermediates from the incomplete combustion of –CH3 ligands. Surface hydroxyl groups are the most frequently observed intermediate and are formed as a consequence of the conservation of atoms and charge when methyl ligands are initially oxidized (rather than from subsequent re-adsorption of molecular water). Anionic intermediates such as formates are also commonly observed at the surface in the simulations. Formaldehyde, CH2O, is the most frequently observed gaseous by-product. Desorption of this by-product leads to saturation of the redox reaction at the level of two singlet oxygen atoms per CH3 group, where the oxidation state of C is zero, rather than further reaction with oxygen to higher oxidation states. We conclude that the self-limiting chemistry that defines ALD comes about in this case through the desorption by-products with partially-oxidised carbon. The simulations also show that densification occurs when ligands are removed or oxidised to intermediates, indicating that there may be an inverse relationship between Al/O coordination numbers in the final film and the concentration of chemically-bound ligands or intermediate fragments covering the surface during each ALD pulse. Therefore reactions that generate a bare surface Al will produce denser films in metal oxide ALD.
Self-Assembly of α-Tocopherol Transfer Protein Nanoparticles – a Patchy-Protein Model
Authors: Peltzer Raphael M. , Kolli Hima Bindu , Stocker Achim , Cascella Michele
Published: May 2018

We describe the mechanism of self-aggregation of α-tocopherol transfer protein into a spherical nano-cage employing by Monte Carlo simulations. The protein is modelled by a patchy coarse-grained representation, where the protein-protein interfaces, determined in the past by x-ray diffraction, are represented by simplified two-body interaction potentials. Our results show that the oligomerization kinetics proceeds in two steps, with the formation of meta-stable trimeric units, and the subsequent assembly into the spherical aggregates. Data are in agreement with experimental observations regarding the prevalence of different aggregation states at specific ambient conditions. Finally, our results indicate a route for the experimental stabilization of the trimer, crucial for the understanding of the physiological role of such aggregates in vitamin E body trafficking.
Spermatogenesis and plasma testosterone levels under field conditions, in males of the common toad (Rhinella arenarum Hensel, 1867), from the Monte Desert, Argentina
Authors: Quiroga Lorena , Sanabria Eduardo , Jahn Graciela , Fornés Miguel
Published: May 2018

The reproductive function in anurans depends on interactions between the hypothalamus, adenohypophysis and gonads, which are mediated by an endocrine circuit. We studied the relationship between reproductive and histological parameters, variation in spermatogenic activity, and plasma testosterone concentration cycle for a population of Rhinella arenarum under field conditions in the Monte Desert of Argentina. We captured 28 adult male R. arenarum from December 2009 to November 2010, and define two seasons (wet and dry seasons). We performed histological analyses of the testes and used radioimmunoassay to determine plasma testosterone concentrations. Our results showed no difference in testicular volume between the wet and dry seasons, but found that changes in the fat body mass were higher in the dry season. The spematogenic cycle was characterized by the prominent presence of spermatogonia at the end of the dry season and the wet season. We also observed a higher percentage of primary spermatocytes in the wet season. In addition, we found that R. arenarum showed a continuous spermatogenic cycle, and spermatogenesis produced a high percentage of sperm bundles in the dry season, concordant with high levels of testosterone. Testosterone levels were highest during the dry season (33.89 ± 7.85 ng/ml). Our data indicate that plasma testosterone showed a “dissociation” from reproductive activity such that the two parameters are asynchronous during the reproductive season. The characteristics of the reproductive cycle of R. arenarum allow this species the plasticity to colonize different environments, from tropical regions to deserts.
Categorizing the Educational Affordances of 3 Dimensional Immersive Digital Environments
Authors: J Ángel Rueda Christian , C Valdés Godínes Juan , D Rudman Paul
Published: May 2018

Aim/Purpose: This paper provides a general-purpose categorization scheme for assessing the utility of new and emerging three-dimensional interactive digital environments (3D-IDEs), along with specific pedagogic approaches that are known to work. It argues for the use of 3D-IDEs on the basis of their ludic appeal and ability to provide intrinsic motivation to the learner, and their openness that allows the learner to gain a more holistic understanding of a topic.

Background: Researchers have investigated the affordances, benefits, and drawbacks of individual 3D-IDEs, such as virtual worlds, but teachers lack a general-purpose approach to assessing new 3D-IDEs as they appear and applying them to teaching practice.

Methodology: The categorization scheme is based on the analysis, reflection, and comprehension of the research on limitations, challenges, and opportunities for teaching in virtual environments by Angel Rueda, Valdes Godines and Guzmán Flores; the scheme is discussed in terms of an experiment to trial virtual genetics labs in Second Life.

Contribution: The paper describes a general-purpose approach to applying existing and new 3D virtual spaces to education, shows a worked example of the use of the categories, and describes six approaches to consider in applying these technologies.

Findings: 3D-IDEs are categorized in terms of the way in which they interface with the user’s senses and their ability to provide ‘immersion’; two forms of immersion are examined: digital perceptual immersion – the generated sense of reality – and ludic narrative immersion – a less cognitive and more emotional engagement with the learning environment.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Six specific forms of pedagogy appropriate for 3D-IDEs are examined and discussed, in terms of the affordances and technology required, as assessed by the categorization scheme. More broadly, the paper argues for a change in the assessment of new digital technologies from the technology’s features to its affordances and the pedagogies it can support.

Recommendation for Researchers: The paper offers a practical approach to choosing and using 3D-IDEs for education, based upon previous work. The next step is to trial the scheme with teachers to ascertain its ease of use and effectiveness.

Impact on Society: The paper argues strongly for a new approach to teaching, where the learner is encouraged to use 3D-IDEs in a ludic manner in order to generate internal motivation to learn, and to explore the topic according to their individual learning needs in addition to the teacher’s planned route through the learning material.

Future Research: The categorization scheme is intended to be applied to new technologies as they are introduced. Future research is needed to assess its effectiveness and if necessary update the scheme.
Approximation Fixpoint Theory and the Well-Founded Semantics of Higher-Order Logic Programs
Authors: Charalambidis Angelos , Rondogiannis Panos , Symeonidou Ioanna
Published: May 2018

We define a novel, extensional, three-valued semantics for higher-order logic programs with negation. The new semantics is based on interpreting the types of the source language as three-valued Fitting-monotonic functions at all levels of the type hierarchy. We prove that there exists a bijection between such Fitting-monotonic functions and pairs of two-valued-result functions where the first member of the pair is monotone-antimonotone and the second member is antimonotone-monotone. By deriving an extension of consistent approximation fixpoint theory (Denecker et al. 2004) and utilizing the above bijection, we define an iterative procedure that produces for any given higher-order logic program a distinguished extensional model. We demonstrate that this model is actually a minimal one. Moreover, we prove that our construction generalizes the familiar well-founded semantics for classical logic programs, making in this way our proposal a serious candidate for the title of the well-founded semantics for higher-order logic programs.

The aim of this quasi-experimental study is to analyze the importance of using funny Web 3.0 Applications inside the classroom to stimulate university students’ motivation, which contributes to active participation and sustain their learning retention. The projects thus dramatizes the extent to which Web 3.0 Apps pave the way for students to remain involved asking, responding, and interacting with their instructors and peers. This small-scale study targeted 90 undergraduate students of English Department at Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University in Fes. Sixty students accepted to take part in the study, yet 39 who filled in the questionnaires exhaustively. The informants were taught with the help of some Web 3.0 Apps such as Kahoot, Wheel Decide, Seesaw, and BookWidgets and the project lasted five weeks. Analyses of the questionnaires’ responses prior to and after the exposure to Web 3.0, which were administered to a convenient sampling, revealed that the latter significantly contributes to students’ sustainable active involvement.
On the convergence of driver centric zone pricing for traffic networks

Published: May 2018

Congestion fees with dynamical zone pricing provide an easy-to-implement solution to urban traffic control agencies for improved efficiency of the traffic network. In order to design a pricing strategy it is necessary to understand how it affects the route choices of drivers in the system. This work explores this question by providing an idealized dynamical model for re-routing as traffic flows change to cheaper routes. Results show a convergence to a Wardrop-equilibrium, which is also proven formally and demonstrated via simulation.
Transitive Closure Logic: Infinitary and Cyclic Proof Systems
Authors: Rowe Reuben , Cohen Liron
Published: May 2018

Transitive closure logic is a known extension of first-order logic obtained by introducing a transitive closure operator. While other extensions of first-order logic with inductive definitions are a priori parametrized by a set of inductive definitions, the addition of the transitive closure operator uniformly captures all finitary inductive definitions. We present an infinitary proof system for transitive closure logic which is an infinite descent-style counterpart to the existing (explicit induction) proof system for the logic. We show that, as for similar systems for first-order logic with inductive definitions, our infinitary system is complete for the standard semantics and subsumes the explicit system. Moreover, the uniformity of the transitive closure operator allows semantically meaningful complete restrictions to be defined using simple syntactic criteria.

Habitat of the family Priacanthidae is tropical and subtropical Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans. The features of the  family members are generally very big eyes, deep bodies, upturned mouth,  and generally reddish color. In the this paper, we report the presence of an arrow bulleye Priancanthus sagittarius in coast of Turkey waters in the Mediterranean Sea. On the 27th December, 2017, a single specimen of P. sagittarius was collected by Mr. Hüseyin Çınar, captain of the commercial bottom trawler Furkan Reis vessel, off the Taşucu, Mersin (36°07'2.82"N 33°51'6.42"E) Turkey coasts. The specimen of P. sagittarius was collected at a depth of approximatetly 100 m by a bottom trawl net; the mesh size of 22mm. The collected specimen of arrow bulleye P. sagittarius was 255 mm in total length (TL) and 307 g in total weight (TW). The finding of the present study is the first record of specimen along shores of the Mediterranean of Turkey. This record suggests that this species is spread towards to west along in the Mediterranean.

A problem frequently occuring in our society is a number of jobless  that has become more and more. Unbalance amount of job vacancies and job seekers has become the cause of the problem. The unideal condition happened because of less empowering local potency which creates independent local economy, especially in villages. In addition, most villagers have less skills than  those who live in cities and towns to take their parts in job seeking competitions. The Program of Community Service for Empowering Society, frequently run by Universitas Serang Raya, may become an alternative to break the problem. The program set in Cening, a village in Cikedal, Pandeglang, has main goal to empower the villagers particulary housewives and those in productive age by producing some traditional snacks which have high selling value. Moreover, they are motivated and trained for doing packaging and marketing their products incompeting with other local products. The result of the program is a team of small community business entrepreneurs of peculiarly local snack products.

The problem faced by Jatimalang village farmers in increasing agricultural production is the problem of fertilizer. Fertilizerneeds is going to increase, while subsidized fertilizer by the government is limited and the price is expensive, so the farmers' income just a little. The use of organic fertilizer is an alternative to overcome the problem of fertilizer. The purpose of technological dissemination in Jatimalang , Arjosari , Pacitan is to solve the problem of farmers fertilizerneeds by processing the remaining agricultural materials (straw and other leaves) and animal waste into organic fertilizer. Processing of organic fertilizer by farmer group Lestari II still manual and cannot fulfill requirement of fertilizer. Dissemination technology of organic fertilizer processing machine consists of compost machine, sieving machine, and granulator. Utilization of appropriate technology is expected to improve the living standard of farmers in Jatimalang village. The processing of agricultural waste materials and animal waste into organic fertilizer by using fertilizer processing machine (granulator, enumerator and sifter, and stirrer) through the dissemination program of technology products to the community that carried out this resulted in an organic fertilizer that is beneficial to farmer group Lestari II, and some people in Jatimalang village. The product produce two kinds of fertilizer ie compost and solid organic fertilizer packed in sacks. Production of fertilizers using granulator equipment, enumerators and sieves, and stirrer can improve the productivity of fertilizer that has been done with a simple machine. The quantity of production increases, and the quality of the fertilizer yield is also increased as it is processed with a granulator that produces droplets of fertilizer which are easy to use.

ABSTRACTOne of the classic problems that causes economic disparities is the uneven access to public education. Besides, the fundamental role of education is still not influential in efforts to improve people's living standard. Economic disparities also sharpen the gap between classes of society that has been formed, between the educated (well-educated) and less educated (non-educated). Assimilation was difficult to do in between these two groups. Institution that responsible to this issue is the Ministry of Education, because education is equipped to face the challenges of civilization in all fields. Universities also respond to this obligation by organizing Student Field Work Experience program (KKNM). These activities are designed in such way so that students can recognize and identify patterns that developed in the community, not just in terms of education, but also in other areas such as economics and livelihoods, social, cultural, and others.Keywords: economic inequality, education, the pattern of community lifeABSTRAKSalah satu masalah klasik yang menjadi penyebab kesenjangan ekonomi adalah belum meratanya akses pendidikan kepada masyarakat.

Представлен аналитический обзор научно-технической литературы, посвященный синтезу анизотропных железооксидных наночастиц различной формы (кубическая, стержневидная, кластерная и др.) с размерами от 10 до 100 нм и их применению для визуализации и диагностики тканей и органов методом магнитно-резонансной томографии (МРТ). Проведенный анализ литературы свидетельствует о том, что существенное влияние на параметры Т1 и Т2 релаксивности оказывают форма наночастиц, их размер и химия поверхности. Так железооксидные наночастицы кубической формы обладают наибольшими значениями Т2 релаксивности. Кроме того, наночастицы стержневидной формы и октаподы также проявляют достаточно высокие значения Т2 релаксивности, в связи с чем могут быть использованы в качестве контрастных веществ при МРТ визуализации и диагностике.

La metodología empleada comprende el análisis de regresión para datos de panel, incluyendo estimadores lineales y no lineales, de efectos aleatorios, de promedios agrupados y de efectos entre grupos. Como conclusión general se obtiene que las variables de escala se encuentran entre las más relevantes a nivel agregado a lo largo de todo el periodo, indicando que a mayor tamaño de la empresa, mayores probabilidades de acceder al crédito. Ciertos parámetros de desempeño como el uso de la capacidad instalada y la cualidad de inversora resultan también muy influyentes.

O trabalho é uma atividade ligada umbilicalmente com todas as esferas da vida de uma pessoa, posto que parte significativa do tempo de vida do ser humano estarse a trabalhar, o que reflete nas dimensões pessoais, familiar e sociais do trabalhador. De tal sorte, um ambiente de trabalho sadio é fulcral para o bem desenvolver da pessoa, em todas as referidas dimensões. Não é por outra razão que os direitos sociais são erigidos a status de direitos humanos. O objetivo do presente ensaio é exatamente aferir os contornos jurídicos normativos que permitem a subsunção de condutas como forma de assédio moral laboral, e nestes termos, o consequente jurídico da referida prática. A pesquisa em tela, fazendo uso de uma metodologia de análise qualitativa, usando-se os métodos de abordagem hipotéticodedutivos de caráter descritivo e analítico, adotando-se técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica, tem por linha de fundo fazer uma análise dogmática quanto a construção normativa da conduta de assédio moral no bojo do sistema jurídico brasileiro tendo por vetor axiológico, sempre, a busca da eficácia dos direitos fundamentais esculpidos na Constituição Federal de 1988.
Street Children Discourses in Russia and Cuba

My colleague and I came to a centre for rights protection of children and adolescents in a city in Northern Russia. It was a winter day with snow all over. In an open space between the houses, just before the entrance to the centre building, we met two eight or nine-year-old girls, skiing. They were smoking cigarettes. My colleague, who is a Russian, said as a joke: “Don’t you know when you smoke a second head will grow on your shoulders?” The answer came right-away: “I don’t care!” This little conversation in Russian was our introduction to a series of meetings with different spokespersons working at arenas with influence on child and adolescent welfare in the region.
Lessons from Rwanda
Authors: Sewpaul Vishanthie
Published: May 2018

Before a recent visit to Rwanda, all that the country held for me, as with most people, was the spectre of genocide, war, poverty and starving children. My brief visit to the city of Kigali challenged my widely held assumptions about the country. Kigali was the epicenter of the genocide in Rwanda, where about one million people experienced murderous tyranny within a space of 100 days, that wreaked havoc upon the country and left millions of people with untold losses and emotional scars. Rwanda is, indeed, an amazing example of a country rising from the ashes. My first encounter was on the Air Rwanda flight, where the in-flight magazine warns those entering the country to leave their plastic bags behind; that no person would be allowed to pass through immigration and customs with plastic bags and wrappings. A plastic bag free country is one of Rwanda’s contributions to environmental conservation and saving the earth. And of course in stores, its paper bags all the way!
