O nitrogênio é um dos elementos mais requerido pela cultura do feijoeiro e seu fornecimento à planta pode se dar por meio de adubação nitrogenada e por meio da fixação biológica. O presente estudo objetivou avaliar estratégias de manejo da adubação nitrogenada e a capacidade da associação entre inoculante e Co+Mo em substituir parcialmente o N aplicado na cultura do feijoeiro semeado em sistema irrigado. O estudo foi desenvolvido em Sinop – MT, no período de junho a outubro de 2011, época denominada inverno, sob pivô central em sistema de semeadura direta, em um Latossolo Vermelho-amarelo Distrófico. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi de blocos casualizados com 15 tratamentos e 4 repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos pela combinação de doses e fontes de N, inoculação com Rhizobium tropicci e tratamento de sementes com Co e Mo. Em relação aos tratamentos não se observou diferença para altura da inserção da primeira vagem e número de grãos por vagem. A produtividade foi maior nos tratamentos que receberam N. A associação da inoculação com baixas doses de N é efetiva para suprir as demandas da cultura, se igualando a elevadas doses de N. A produtividade apresentou correlação positiva e significativa com a maioria das características avaliadas.Palavras-chave: Phaseolus vulgaris, manejo do nitrogênio, semeadura direta na palha, fixação biológica de nitrogênio, cultivo de inverno. METHODS OF SUPPLY OF NITROGEN TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY IN THE CULTURE OF IRRIGATED BEANS IN SAVANNA MATO-GROSSENSE ABSTRACT:Nitrogen is one of the elements most required by the bean crop and its supply to the plant can occur through nitrogen fertilization and through biological fixation.

A INDÚSTRIA DO “MERO DISSABOR” COMO VILIPENDIAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS DOS CONSUMIDORES: obstáculo à concretização do direito de Acesso à Justiça
Authors: Lima Alexandre Augusto Batista , Melo Auricéliaa Do Nascimento
Published: July 2018

O trabalho debate a denominada indústria do “mero dissabor” e seus reflexos aos direitos dos cidadãos integrantes das relações de consumo. Demonstra-se que o direito do consumidor se trata de um direito fundamental e que deve ser protegido tanto na órbita administrativa, quanto na seara judicial. A problemática reside em examinar o que se deve entender por “mero dissabor” e quais são os efeitos de sua má utilização pelos juízes e tribunais no que tange aos direitos do consumidor e à própria sociedade de uma maneira geral, analisando, também, o tema sob o espectro da Constituição Brasileira. Aborda-se o debate doutrinário e jurisprudencial sobre a finalidade da reparação por danos morais, em especial, daqueles resultantes de atos ilícitos provocados no âmbito das relações de consumo. A pesquisa objetiva evidenciar que não há de fato uma indústria do dano moral, mas sim um sistema social e jurídico que impõe o desrespeito e esvaziamento das normas protetivas do consumidor, no intuito de beneficiar os detentores dos meios de produção. Com metodologia bibliográfica, análise doutrinária e jurisprudencial, considera as implicações sociais das decisões dos tribunais que afastam a proteção aos consumidores e fomentam um cenário de pseudojustiça, na qual as subindenizações desmantelam a estrutura sistemática da proteção conferida pelo Código de Defesa do Consumidor. Conclui que os direitos do consumidor não vêm sendo protegidos de forma adequada pelo Poder Judiciário, especialmente, no que tange à reparação por danos morais, tendo em vista que a fórmula do “mero dissabor” vem sendo sistematicamente utilizado com o intuito de impor um simulacro de justiça, dissimulando a aplicação de um direito que deve ser garantido de forma efetiva a todos os cidadãos, pois todos nós somos consumidores.

HISTÓRIA, DIREITO E SOCIEDADE - A HISTÓRIA DO DIREITO EM UM ITINERÁRIO DE METODOLOGIA E DE INTERPRETAÇÃO
Authors: Figueiredo Eduardo Henrique Lopes
Published: July 2018

Para Hayden White o discurso detém um lugar na natureza própria da interpretação e é válido o esforço de reconstruir a ocasião na qual se manifesta sua elaboração. No direito a palavra discurso pode referir-se à compreensão da lei, ao entendimento de uma decisão e, substancialmente, a um horizonte mais amplo, o direito moderno. É o aprofundamento, no sentido de nociva ruptura, que a modernidade jurídica enseja relativamente à dimensão histórica e social do direito, a preocupação deste artigo. Busca-se destacar, com auxílio de estudiosos da história do direito, que na narrativa diletante sobre a história jurídica não há neutralidade, mas tomada de posição negadora, por parte do intérprete, daquilo que há de complexo e rico na formação do direito moderno. Palavras-Chave: Teoria da História; Historiografia; Modernidade Jurídica; Discurso; Interpretação.

O DESEMPREGO E O AUTOATENDIMENTO NO SETOR BANCÁRIO: ENTRE O BIOPODER E A BIOPOLÍTICA
Authors: Dias Jefferson Aparecido , Borges de Oliveira Emerson Ademir
Published: July 2018

O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar se a adoção de biopoderes, que incentivam o autoatendimento no setor bancário, pode resultar em desemprego no setor e, em contrapartida, se a adoção da biopolítica poderia ser uma resposta adequada em busca de um desenvolvimento econômico mais justo. É certo que, com o término do poder soberano, a lei, a despeito de manter a sua importância, passou a concorrer com dispositivos de segurança que incentivam as pessoas a adotarem ou não certas posturas. Neste aspecto, o incentivo ao autoatendimento no setor bancário é uma realidade, o que tem provocado o fechamento de postos de trabalho no setor. Diante desse quadro, faz-se necessária uma reação que, baseada na biopolítica, permita às pessoas desenvolver suas potencialidades e se apropriar de parte dos resultados positivos gerados por suas atitudes. Neste sentido, a adoção do cooperativismo de crédito pode ser uma opção, pois permite aos trabalhadores ser, efetivamente, empresários de si e, com isso, gerar desenvolvimento econômico para sua comunidade. A pesquisa se vale de dados estatísticos e de suporte bibliográfico e legal. O método em que se desenvolve é indutivo.

MULHERES E DESIGUALDADE: DA (DES)CONSTRUÇÃO DO ARQUÉTIPO FEMININO À EQUIPARAÇÃO DA LICENÇA-PATERNIDADE À LICENÇA-MATERNIDADE COMO PLANIFICADOR DAS RELAÇÕES DE TRABALHO.
Authors: De Oliveira Ugo Briaca , Dantas Rodolfo Lima
Published: July 2018

Para melhor entender os contornos da sociedade moderna em torno da mulher, busca-se abordar neste artigo dois pontos principais: o primeiro, como se deu a construção do ideal hoje disseminado acerca da mulher enquanto ente social e, o segundo, quais os recursos jurídicos se têm em mãos para imaginar uma solução que vise consagrar a igualdade de gêneros, especificamente no mercado de trabalho. O estudo destes compostos, em sua harmonia e confluências, contribui em muito para se refletir acerca da trajetória da história da mulher, assim como qual o papel do homem dentro da sociedade contemporânea. Para auxiliar nas questões do trabalho, sugere-se a equiparação da licença-paternidade à licença-maternidade como planificador das relações de trabalho, o que promoveria as oportunidades para a mulher, e encerraria o monopólio masculino acerca das oportunidades profissionais, consagrando, inclusive, o papel que a Constituição Federal reservou para este último, qual seja, de pai, tal qual a mãe, participativo e solidário ao convívio familiar.

Published: July 2018

A reboque do processo de urbanização do Brasil, a partir da segunda metade do Século XIX, o transporte público teve destaque na vida pública brasileira, deixando de ser uma mera ferramenta urbana para ganhar status de direito coletivo previsto no Art. 6º. da Constituição Federal de 1988. Observar as lutas havidas ao longo dos últimos 120 anos, por um acesso mais barato e mais digno, pode contribuir para compreender a evolução deste direito. O impacto dessas reivindicações na história da política brasileira revela que a busca pela cidadania nem sempre é pacífica. A metodologia utilizada foi a realização de revisão de literatura, juntamente com análise documental. A conclusão aqui aponta no sentido da importância dos aspectos históricos dos protestos sobre acesso ao transporte público no Brasil dos Séculos XIX, XX e XXI para sua institucionalização como direito social, relacionando-os com a gestão social e o desenvolvimento local.
Introduction
Authors: Garforth Lisa , Gallinat Anselma
Published: July 2018

This introduction sets the theoretical and historical context for this special issue on student engagement. Drawing on literatures about audit culture, governance and change in higher education institutions, and theories of practice, institutions and organisation, it sheds light on the current era of English higher education. The Browne Review led to the withdrawal in 2010 of the majority of the government teaching grant for English universities, and it tripled tuition fees in 2012. In the post-Browne era, ‘engagement’ emerged as an organising concept linked in multiple ways to other objects and discourses, in particular university league tables and measures of student satisfaction; and it was swiftly and often unreflexively translated into visions for developing learning and teaching. This special issue focuses on this specific shift in policy and discourse, exploring institutional change and everyday experience, and reflecting on the power and limits of policies.
Enhancing student engagement through effective ‘customer’ evaluation
Authors: Payne Geoff
Published: July 2018

Most undergraduates’ main, hands-on involvement in student
engagement is completing satisfaction surveys, such as the U.K.
National Student Survey (NSS), whose findings make significant
contributions to university policy formation. It is therefore important
that these surveys produce reliable and valid data, but previous
and current NSS versions fail to do this. This article compares the
U.K.’s model of ‘satisfaction’ with that of the U.S. National Survey
of Student Engagement (NSSE). Whereas the NSS treats the student
as a passive consumer, the NSSE treats the student as an active participant
who shares personal liability for some of the educational
outcomes. The NSSE’s greater use of factual rather than opinion
questions, allowance for variation in types of students and student
effort, and wider interpretation of ‘student engagement’ are seen as
more fit for purpose and less influenced by the ideologies of neoliberalism
and managerial control.

Authors: Harimurti Shubhi Mahmashony
Published: July 2018

The phenomenal movement of Muhammadiyah with their growing assets is interesting to be studied in archaeological perspective. This research will focus on a period between 1912 – 1964 when the significant growth of Muhammadiyah as an organization took place. Spatially, this research will concentrate in three sub-districts of Gondomanan, Ngampilan, and Wirobrajan. This research is addressed to answer the question whether there is significant relationship between the growth of Muhammadiyah and the quantity of material assets owned by this organization during 1912 – 1964. The research objective is demonstrating the relationship between the growth of Muhammadiyah and its material heritage. Therefore, this research tries to demonstrate correlation between the growth of Muhammadiyah and the material heritage owned by the organization. The growth of Muhammadiyah is represented in the number of its membership and the material culture is indicated by the quantity of its sites. The correlation is measured by using statistical method. The statistical calculation shows there is a strong relationship between the quantity of Muhammadiyah sites and the growth of the organization. This is the result of many ‘behavioral’ aspects of the Muhammadiyah movement especially in social-religious, ijtihad, education, regeneration, and administrative sectors. From 1912 – 1964, the material assets of Muhammadiyah had undergone transformation in different ways.

Published: July 2018

A 3 year-old budgie with the complaint of feather loss and disturbed body
growth, was referred to the clinic. In history, it was understood that two
offspring showed healthy growth within the first year of their life, then
scaling on the skin was observed in one of the budgie’s feet. Over the next 3
months the body feathers began to fall. In the hairless regions, new feathers
appeared in a cottony look and weak structure. But these new feathers shed
before they could finish growing. The food and water appetite had not
deteriorated during this time. In physical examination, there were a few feather in cotton appearance on the body of the budgie. Bird
had difficulty in
balancing his body while standing and walking. Nowhere in the bird's body
has skin lesions. In mycological culture, Aspergillus
spp was isolated.  Bird died a week
after being brought to the clinic.

When the etiology of the disease is
assessed in the budgies >3 years old, all feathers have fallen and body
development has deteriorated, it has been concluded that it is appropriate to
consider chronic diseases which cause weakening of the immune system resulting
in diseases such as aspergillosis.

Published: July 2018

Nine single cross promising maize hybrids and three check varieties (NK40, BHM9 and 900 MGold) were assessed for genotype environment interaction (GEI) and stability for the selection of promising one(s) in seven different locations of Bangladesh. The AMMI (additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) model was used to analyze the genotype-environment interaction over seven locations to select desired hybrid having higher yield and other potential attributes. Regarding genotypes (G), significant variation was found in all the characters except yield while environment (E) was found significant for all the characters. The environment of Gazipur was poor; Jamalpur, Hathazari, Ishurdi, Rahmatpur, Burirhat, and Jessore were positive environments for tested maize hybrids. Considering the mean, bi and S2di for all the parameters, it was evident that all the genotypes showed different response of adaptability under different environmental conditions. Among the hybrids E12 (900MG), E7(CML502 × CML491), E1(BIL95 × BIL28), E10 (NK40) and E2 (BIL95 × BIL31) were exhibited high yielder.Considering bi ̴1(regression co-efficient), S2di ̴ 0 (deviation from regression)and mean versace IPCA1 (fig1)indicated that hybrids E7and E1showed the higher yield as well as stable across locations.Bangladesh J.

Brucella spp. are facultative intracellular bacteria causing chronic disease which may persist for the whole life of the affected organism. In animals brucellosis affects reproduction, fertility and reduces newborns survival and also milk production. The present research was carried out to estimate the prevalence and to identify the risk factors of brucellosis along with determination of genetic diversity in Bangladesh. In CCBS&DF (government farm) out of 191 cows the MRT prevalence (positive) was 7.85% and RBT prevalence (positive) was 7.33%. In Rangpur out of 238 cows the MRT prevalence (positive) was 1.88% and RBT prevalence is 1.56%. In Jamalpur out of 201 cows the MRT prevalence was 1.49% and RBT prevalence 0.05%. In Gaibandha out of 93 cows the MRT prevalence was 1.07% and RBT prevalence 0%. In Mymensingh out of 320 cows the MRT prevalence was 1.88% and RBT prevalence 1.56%. Among the five groups of cows the high prevalence of MRT and RBT prevalence was in Government Farm 7.85% and 7.33%. On the other hand the lower prevalence in cows of Gaibandha which was MRT and RBT 1.07% and 0% respectively and followed by Jamalpur  MRT 1.49% and RBT 0.50%, in Rangpur MRT 1.68% and RBT 1.26%, and in Mymensingh district  MRT 1.88%  and RBT 1.56%. The prevalence of brucellosis was significantly (p<0.01) higher in CCBS&DF than all district (Table 8). Out of 14 MRT and RBT positive milk samples of CCBS&DF (21.43%) were PCR positive but all other 9 such samples originated from Jamalpur, Rangpur, Gaibandha and Mymensingh districts were PCR negative.

Published: July 2018

In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes is the first important step for successful in vitro embryo production of any mammalian species. The objectives of the present study were to determine an effective basic medium and its hormone and protein supplementation for IVM of oocytes of indigenous zebu cows. The oocytes were derived from ovaries of locally slaughtered cows after aspiration of follicle. The oocytes were cultured in medium for 24 hrs at 38.5ºC with 5% CO2 in humidified air for maturation. The maturation of oocytes was evaluated by examining the presence of first polar body extrusion in denuded oocytes under inverted microscope. To determine an effective basic medium, the oocytes were cultured in fetal bovine serum (FBS) supplemented tissue culture medium (TCM), modified synthetic oviduct fluid (mSOF) and Tyrodes albumin lactate pyruvate (TALP) medium. The maturation rate was significantly higher (74±4.2) in TCM medium than that of TALP medium (58.2±6.2). To determine an effective hormone supplementation for maturation medium, the oocytes were cultured in either in follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) or gonadotrophin supplemented TCM. The maturation rate of oocytes was significantly (p>0.05) higher (73.3±4.0) in FSH supplemented medium than that of gonadotrophin supplemented counterpart (60.2±6.6). To determine an effective protein supplementation, the oocytes were cultured in FBS, oestrus cow serum (OCS) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) supplemented TCM 199. The maturation rate of oocytes were 73.0±5.9, 71.1±2.8, and 62.5±9.4 in medium supplemented with FBS, OCS and BSA respectively (p>0.05).

The investigation was conducted to determine the effects of different edible oils in experimental animals. A total of 36 male Long Evans rats of one month age were randomly divided into four equal groups. Rats of Group A were kept as control by feeding rat pellet. Rats of Group B, C and D were fed rat pellet by mixing of palm, mustard and soybean oils respectively, at the dose of 15 % in feed for 6 months. The methods included determination of weight gains, lipid profiles and histopathological lesions in different organs: aorta, liver, heart and kidneys at 0 day, 3 months and 6 months interval. All experimental rats exhibited progressive weight gain during the research period and soybean oil treated group showed the highest significant (P<0.01) body weight gain (153 %) but mustard oil resulted significant (P<0.05) increased liver weight (4.557g) after 6 months. Soybean oil showed significant (P<0.01) increased total cholesterol (204.25 mg/dl), HDL (53.15 mg/dl) and LDL (113.06 mg/dl) than other groups. Triglyceride levels of all oil treated groups were significantly (P<0.05) lower than control group. Histopathology revealed that palm oil fed group had fatty liver, narrowed blood vessel and thickened aorta of heart. Soybean oil fed group also showed narrowed blood vessels but mustard oil fed group showed no noticeable change in the mentioned vital organs. After the investigation, mustard oil proved comparatively better than palm and soybean oil.

Worldwide fresh water scarcity and labour unavailability in agriculture are driving researchers and farmers to find management strategies that will increase water productivity and reduce labour requirement. Wet seeding instead of transplanting rice greatly reduces the labour requirement for crop establishment, while use of alternate wetting and drying (AWD) instead of continuous flooding reduces irrigation input. However, the safe threshold for irrigating wet seeded rice (WSR) at different crop stages has not been investigated. Therefore, experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different degrees of water stress during different crop growth stages on yield performance of WSR. This was done in greenhouse experiment in the 2011 wet season 2011 at the International Rice Research Institute, Los Baños, Philippines. In the experiment, water stresses were applied by withholding irrigation until soil water tension increased to 10, 20 or 40 kPa (kilo pascal) at 10 cm below the soil surface. Soil water tension was measured using 30 cm long guage tensiometer installed with the center of the ceramic cup. The stresses were applied during three crop stages: 3-leaf (3L) to panicle initiation (PI), PI to flowering (FL), and FL to physiological maturity (PM). The experiment also included a continuously flooded (CF) treatment. The number of drying events ranged from 8-12 during 3L-PI, 6-10 during PI-FL and 6-10 during FL-PM. There was a consistent trend for a decline in the number of irrigations and irrigation input with increasing irrigation threshold, and thresholds of 20 and 40 kPa resulted in significantly lower input than with CF. There were consistent trends for lower grain yield as the level of water deficit stress increased, and imposition of stresses of 20 and 40 kPa at any or all three stages significantly reduced grain yield compared with CF. There was a trend for the reduction in grain yield to be greater when the stresses were imposed at all three stages compared with a single stage, but the differences were not significant. There was a consistent trend for irrigation water productivity (WPi) to decrease as the irrigation threshold increased, with significantly lower values for a 40 kPa threshold at any stage, in comparison with CF. This was because the decline in water input to the pots was less than the decline in yield as the threshold increased. The results suggest that the optimum threshold for irrigation of WSR is 10 kPa during the vegetative and grain filling stages, and that the soil should be kept at close to saturation during PI-FLBangladesh Rice j. 2017, 21(1): 1-12

Drought is a major abiotic constraint for growing rain-fed rice in Bangladesh. A total of 175 rice genotypes were evaluated using field-managed screening protocol to identify reproductive phase drought tolerant genotypes at Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh. Twelve morpho-physiological characters viz, growth duration, plant height, tiller number per plant, panicle number per plant, panicle length, filled grain number per plant, sterility percentage, filled grain weight per plant, 1000 grain weight (TGW), straw weight per plant, harvest index (HI) and percent yield reduction were recorded. Multivariate analysis was carried out by using software Genstat 5.5 to measure genetic divergence among the rice genotypes. In total 175 genotypes were constellated into ten clusters in which the cluster I exhibited maximum genetic distances from cluster V and the lowest genetic distance was between cluster II and X. Inter-cluster distances were higher than the intra-cluster distances suggesting wider genetic diversity among the genotypes of different clusters and homogeneity among the genotypes within the cluster. Among the 12 studied characters percent yield reduction contributed maximum towards total divergence in the genotypes, which revealed that these parameters contributed more to grain yield under drought stress. The genotypes of cluster I namely Canthi bakla (BRRI Genebank Acc. No. 7279), Nizersail (BRRI Genebank Acc. No. 7281), Hashim (BRRI Genebank Acc. No. 7283), Uricheora (BRRI Genebank Acc. No. 7311), Goura Kajol (BRRI Genebank Acc. No. 7312), Chini Sail (BRRI Genebank Acc. No. 7343), Tall Biruin (BRRI Genebank Acc. No. 7355), Sakkar Khora (BRRI Genebank Acc. No. 7506) and Boaincha Biruim (BRRI Genebank Acc. No. 7573) performed better under drought stress, which could be used in the crossing programme as donor parent for the development of varietyBangladesh Rice j. 2017, 21(1): 27-34

The major factors affecting the popularization of electric vehicles (EV) are the limited travel range and the lack of charging infrastructure. Therefore, to further promote the penetration of EVs, it is of great importance to plan and construct more fast charging stations rationally. In this study, first we establish a travel pattern model based on the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). Then, with the traveling data of EVs, we build a bi-level planning model of charging stations. For the upper model, with an aim to maximize the travel success ratio, we consider the influence of the placement of charging stations on the user’s travel route. We adopt a hybrid method based on queuing theory and the greedy algorithm to determine the capacity of charging stations, and we utilize the total social cost and satisfaction index as two indicators to evaluate the optimal solutions obtained from the upper model. Additionally, the impact of the increase of EV ownership and slow charger coverage in the public parking lot on the fast charging demands and travel pattern of EV users are also studied. The example verifies the feasibility of the proposed method.

Published: July 2018

In this paper, the plasmonic resonant absorption of gold nanorods (GNRs) and GNR solutions was studied both numerically and experimentally. The heat generation in clustered GNR solutions with various concentrations was measured by exposing them to Near Infrared (NIR) light in experiment. Correspondingly, calculations based on the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) revealed the same relationship between the maximum absorption efficiency and the nanorod orientation for the incident radiation. Additionally, both the plasmonic wavelength and the maximum absorption efficiency of a single nanorod were found to increase linearly with increasing aspect ratio (for a fixed nanorod volume). The wavelength of the surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) was found to change when the gold nanorods were closely spaced. Specifically, both a shift and a broadening of the resonance peak were attained when the distance between the nanorods was set to about 50 nm or less. The absorbance spectra of suspended nanorods at various volume fractions also showed that the plasmonic wavelength of the nanorods solution was at 780 ± 10 nm, which was in good agreement with the computational predictions for coupled side-by-side nanorods. When heated by NIR light, the rate of increase for both the temperature of solution and the absorbed light diminished when the volume fraction of suspended nanorods reached a value of 1.24×10−6. This matches with expectations for a partially clustered suspension of nanorods in water. Overall, this study reveals that particle clustering should be considered to accurately gauge the heat generation of the GNR hyperthermia treatments.

In this paper, we present a novel method to construct cryptographically strong bijective substitution-boxes based on the complicated dynamics of a new hyperchaotic system. The new hyperchaotic system was found to have good characteristics when compared with other systems utilized for S-box construction. The performance assessment of the proposed S-box method was carried out based on criteria, such as high nonlinearity, a good avalanche effect, bit-independent criteria, and low differential uniformity. The proposed method was also analyzed for the batch-generation of 8 × 8 S-boxes. The analyses found that through a proposed purely chaos-based method, an 8 × 8 S-box with a maximum average high nonlinearity of 108.5, or S-boxes with differential uniformity as low as 8, can be retrieved. Moreover, small-sized S-boxes with high nonlinearity and low differential uniformity are also obtainable. A performance comparison of the anticipated method with recent S-box proposals proved its dominance and effectiveness for a strong bijective S-box construction.

Human speech perception involves transforming a countinuous acoustic signal into discrete linguistically meaningful units (phonemes) while simultaneously causing a listener to activate words that are similar to the spoken utterance and to each other. The Neighborhood Activation Model posits that phonological neighbors (two forms [words] that differ by one phoneme) compete significantly for recognition as a spoken word is heard. This definition of phonological similarity can be extended to an entire corpus of forms to produce a phonological neighbor network (PNN). We study PNNs for five languages: English, Spanish, French, Dutch, and German. Consistent with previous work, we find that the PNNs share a consistent set of topological features. Using an approach that generates random lexicons with increasing levels of phonological realism, we show that even random forms with minimal relationship to any real language, combined with only the empirical distribution of language-specific phonological form lengths, are sufficient to produce the topological properties observed in the real language PNNs. The resulting pseudo-PNNs are insensitive to the level of lingustic realism in the random lexicons but quite sensitive to the shape of the form length distribution. We therefore conclude that “universal” features seen across multiple languages are really string universals, not language universals, and arise primarily due to limitations in the kinds of networks generated by the one-step neighbor definition. Taken together, our results indicate that caution is warranted when linking the dynamics of human spoken word recognition to the topological properties of PNNs, and that the investigation of alternative similarity metrics for phonological forms should be a priority.

Published: July 2018

Currently, the Direct-Current (DC) microgrid has been gaining popularity because most electronics devices require a DC power input. A DC microgrid can significantly reduce the AC to DC energy conversion loss. However, a power grid may experience a line fault situation that may damage important household devices and cause a blackout in the power system. This work proposes a new line fault protection scheme for a DC microgrid system by using a battery energy storage system (BESS). Nowadays, the BESS is one of the most cost effective energy storage technologies for power system applications. The proposed system is designed from a distributed wind farm smart grid. A total of three off-shore wind farms provide power to the grid through a high voltage DC (HVDC) transmission line. The DC microgrid was modeled by a BESS with a bi-directional DC–DC converter, various DC-loads with step down DC–DC converters, a voltage source converter, and a voltage source inverter. Details of the control strategies of the DC microgrid are described. During the line fault situation, a transient voltage was controlled by a BESS. From the simulation analyses, it is confirmed that the proposed method can supply stable power to the DC grid, which can also ensure protection of several loads of the DC microgrid. The effectiveness of the proposed system is verified by in a MATLAB/SIMULINK® environment.
