Videoactivismo “online” y problematización del concepto de autoría. El anonimato en el colectivo audiovisual Malaguistán
Authors: Alberich-Pascual Jordi , Sedeño-Valdellós Ana
Published: June 2019

El videoactivismo online es un reciente fenómeno audiovisual que permite que colectivos compuestos por ciudadanos alejados de la práctica institucional cinematográfica protagonicen y dirijan sus propios proyectos audiovisuales, con un componente transformador. El presente artículo analiza experiencias que siguen esta dirección y que tienen en el anonimato y en la falta de reconocimiento personal de la figura del autor, su principal razón de ser. Malaguistán denuncia la situación precaria de la infraestructura y de los espacios ciudadanos en la ciudad de Málaga,con piezas distribuidas por Internet de manera anónima, y con un tipo de lenguaje audiovisual específico que combina formas de narrativa cruda con un remontaje paródico basado en la ironía.Online videoactivism is a recent audiovisual formula that allows audiovisual groups, composed by citizens fair from institutional practice, to film their own audiovisual projects, sometimes characterized with a transforming social component. The paper analyzes some experiences that follow this direction: anonymity and lack of personal recognition in the figure of the filmmaker are the main features. Malaguistán complaints with pieces distributed by Internet, about the precarious situation of infrastructure and citizen space in Malaga and with an special kind of audiovisual language that combines ways of raw narrative with a parodic edition based on irony.

La poesía social como testimonio del hambre. La voz ejemplar de Ángela Figuera
Authors: Medina Puerta Carmen
Published: June 2019

La carestía alimentaria sufrida en España durante la posguerra (1939-1951) dejó una profunda marca en la sociedad española impregnando todas las esferas de la vida, entre ellas el arte. Para dar cuenta de ello nos proponemos analizar una serie de poemas de Ángela Figuera que tratan directamente el tema del hambre como trasunto de los cuidados y la domesticidad, ámbito al que se relegó a la mujer durante el franquismo. El propósito último de esta investigación es mostrar cómo a través de la literatura se puede acometer un análisis histórico que nos permita comprender nuestro pasado más reciente.The food shortage suffered in Spain during the postwar period (1939-1951) left a deep mark in Spanish society permeating all spheres of life, including art. To give an account of this we propose to analyze a series of poems by Ángela Figuera that directly address the issue of hunger as a symptom of care and domesticity, an area that was relegated to women during the Franco regime. The ultimate purpose of this research is to show how a historical analysis can be undertaken through literature that allows us to understand our most recent past.
Los mitos en la poesía de Caballero Bonald
Authors: Neira Julio
Published: June 2019

La literatura nace con el mito, en tanto relato de una cosmovisión, y especialmente la poesía se ha nutrido de la mitología en todo su desarrollo. En España ha sido así sobre todo en épocas como los siglos de Oro, en que las Metamorfosis de Ovidio tuvo una amplia repercusión. También la poesía española contemporánea presenta esta influencia, incluso en los periodos en que el realismo y la conciencia social eran predominantes. En este artículo se repasa minuciosamente la presencia continuada y abundante de los mitos en la poesía de José Manuel Caballero Bonald a lo largo de toda su trayectoria. Literature is born with myth, as a story of the cosmos, and poetry has been particularly linked to mythology along the years. In Spain, was mainly so in the Golden Age, when Ovid’s Metamorphoses had a wide impact. Spanish contemporary poetry also has this influence, even in periods when realism and social consciousness were predominant. This paper closely studies the ample presence of the myths in the poetry of José Manuel Caballero Bonald.

Liderazgo: una clave para la innovación y el cambio educativo
Authors: Villa Sánchez Aurelio
Published: July 2019

Este artículo constituye una revisión temática desde el punto de vista experiencial del impacto del liderazgo en el ámbito educativo y muy especialmente en los procesos de innovación y en el campo educativo. Se aportan datos de estudios y experiencias con diferentes modelos de liderazgo, llevados a cabo durante esas cuatro últimas décadas que nos permiten extraer algunas consideraciones y conclusiones. Una perspectiva del liderazgo que está emergiendo con fuerza y que actualiza el denominado liderazgo pedagógico resaltado por el movimiento de las escuelas eficaces y el de la mejora.Se recogen estudios empíricos en los que se han aplicado diversos modelos de liderazgo. En primer lugar, el modelo de liderazgo situacional de Fiedler, muy utilizado en la década de los 70 y que hemos aplicado en un contexto de reforma de las enseñanzas medias. Un segundo modelo examinado es el Liderazgo Transformacional de Bernard Bass llevado a cabo en dos contextos distintos: en el ámbito empresarial y en el ámbito educativo. Un tercer enfoque es el propuesto por Kenneth Leithwood y colaboradores de lo que se ha denominado Prácticas eficaces de liderazgo en el ámbito educativo, modelo que se ha validado en diversos países. Finalmente, se presenta una exploración del liderazgo emocional, tema del que viene enfatizándose la importancia de la inteligencia emocional como una de las variables que mejor explican la eficacia y satisfacción del liderazgo educativo.

This article constitutes a review under an experiential approach of the leadership impact in education, and especially in the processes of innovation and educational change. It is provided data from studies and experiences with different models of leadership, carried out during these last four decades that allow us to draw some considerations and conclusions. A perspective of leadership that is strongly emerging and that updates the so-called pedagogical leadership highlighted by the movement for effective schools and improvement.Empirical studies are collected in which various leadership models have been applied. Firstly, Fiedler’s situational leadership model, which was widely used in the 1970s and which we have applied in the context of the secondary education reform. A second model examined is Bernard Bass’ Transformational Leadership carried out in two different contexts: in business and in education. A third approach was the one proposed by Kenneth Leithwood and collaborators of what has been called Effective Leadership Practices in Education, a model that has been validated in several countries. Finally, an exploration of emotional leadership is presented, an issue that has been emphasizing the importance of emotional intelligence as one of the variables that best explain the effectiveness and satisfaction of educational leadership.
Redes Sociales e interés político
Authors: García Guerrero Jorge Eduardo
Published: July 2019

Las redes sociales se han convertido en los últimos años, gracias al incremento en el acceso de los hogares y las personas al internet y al uso cada vez mayor de los llamados objetos inteligentes, en un extendido medio de comunicación que permite la interacción entre diversos actores y en el lugar donde se discuten múltiples temáticas, entre las que se incluye la política. A su vez, los actores políticos han visto en las redes un espacio útil para promover las narrativas y mensajes que justifiquen sus actos y decisiones, apuntalando un discurso que aprovecha el comportamiento de los usuarios al momento de diseminar información. Son estos mismos usuarios quienes propagan cualquier tipo de información, desde la más objetiva hasta aquella que ha sido distorsionada, manipulada o que es directamente falsa, aprovechándose de que las personas no quieren escuchar malas noticias y de que prefieren una mentira si esta apoya su criterio particular, además, los usuarios de las redes utilizan la posibilidad de callar voces contrarias a su creencia, añadiendo, borrando o silenciando contactos.

A través de un análisis estadístico, este estudio, identifica las razones de este fenómeno y el comportamiento inherente que lo promueve en la ciudad de Quito cuando encuentra una importante porción de usuarios de redes sociales que comparten información sin verificar su procedencia ni la fiabilidad de las fuentes que la emiten, incluso si desconfían sobre la veracidad de dicha información.

Resum: El matrimoni catòlic, era i és, indissoluble i monògam per això el delicte de bigàmia va ser perseguit pels tribunals civils i eclesiàstics, sobretot després del Concili de Trento. Aquest delicte ha sigut associat, grosso modo, al sexe masculí i per eixa raó analitzem dos processos inquisitorials contra dos dones, Anna Maria Ivars i Maria Francisca Savall, per entendre les motivacions personals que podien propiciar que una muller de l’antic règim es tornés a casar il·legalment.

Abstract: Catholic marriage was and is, indissoluble and monogamous. For that  reason the crime of bigamy was pursued by civil and ecclesiastical courts, especially after the Council of Trent. This crime was mostly associated with men, and that is why two inquisitorial processes are analyzed against two women, Anna Maria Ivars and Maria Francisca Savall, to understand the personal motivations that can lead a woman of old regime to marry again illegally.

Territori i relacions institucionals a la Catalunya del Sis-cents. Tres estudis de cas a partir dels processos de la Visita del General de Catalunya
Authors: Torra Ricard
Published: June 2019

Resum: Aquest article analitza tres casos diferents jutjats i sentenciats per la Visita del General de Catalunya durant les primeres dècades del segle XVII. L’estudi d’aquests processos ens permet acostar-nos al paper que tingué la institució fiscalitzadora a l’hora de controlar els oficials públics de la Diputació del General de Catalunya, observar-ne el desplegament arreu del territori i, finalment, sintetitzar quin era l’estat de les relacions entre la Diputació del General i la Visita del General just acabada la Guerra dels Segadors. Els dos primers casos s’emmarquen dins de la Visita duta a terme entre 1629 i 1630 i, més concretament, en la inspecció forana que els delegats designats pel consistori central de Barcelona dugueren a terme a la col·lecta (i. e. demarcació fiscal) de Vilafranca de Conflent. El tercer cas té lloc pocs anys després del final de la Guerra dels Segadors (1640-1652), essent-ne els actors principals el consistori dels diputats i oïdors de comptes del trienni de 1654-1656 i els visitadors de 1654-1655.

Abstract: This article studies three different cases judged by the Visita of the Generality of Catalonia within the first decades of the 17th Century. Thanks to its study, we can comprehend the role developed by the Visita in controlling the actions of the public officers of the Generality of Catalonia during the whole century, how the Generality was established around the territories of the Principality of Catalonia and the political relations amongst the major institutions in Catalonia in the mid-1650’s. The first two cases that we want to analyse took place during the inspection conducted by the Visita of the Generality of Catalonia of 1629-1630 within the tax district of Vilafranca de Conflent, which focused their attention on its public officers. The third case, which took place after the conclusion of the Reaper’s War (1640-1652), pays particular attention to the relation between the diputats and the oïdors de comptes of the Generality of Catalonia of 1654-1656, the commanders of the institution, and the visitadors of 1654-1655.

Mídias digitais no contexto da formação de professores indígenas no curso de Pedagogia EaD-MT: problema a ser dialogado
Authors: Rezende Maria Aparecida
Published: July 2019

O propósito do texto é debater uma problemática situada no curso de Licenciatura em Pedagogia Educação a Distância, realizado pelo Instituto de Educação da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso/Universidade Aberta do Brasil/Núcleo de Educação a Distância. O recorte privilegia a formação de professores, focalizando a participação de estudantes de duas etnias: A’uwẽ (Xavante) e Boe (Bororo) de MT. Algumas questões impulsionam o debate: as dificuldades destes professores pois em suas comunidades a internet não tem qualidade adequada para desenvolver as atividades do Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem; a ida aos polos se não têm bolsa para as despesas prementes na cidade; as dificuldades linguísticas, uma vez que as atividades do curso estão formuladas em Português e os professores possuem duas outras línguas, sendo que a língua portuguesa se constitui como uma segunda língua. São perguntas delineadoras que procuram caminhos, trilhas em busca de um diálogo aberto, um debate que auxilie a enfrentar os desafios enfrentados pelo Curso que busca atender a diversidade sociocultural presente em Mato Grosso. As informações obtidas advêm de visitas nas aldeias, depoimentos das orientadoras acadêmicas que atendem aos polos e relatos dos próprios estudantes indígenas. Espera-se, com esse texto, construir um diálogo com profissionais da área do Ensino a Distância para que, juntos e por meio das mídias digitais, sejam encontradas alternativas para a permanência de estudantes indígenas nesta modalidade de ensino.

The Complex Interplay of EU-China and EU-HKSAR Relations
Authors: Gough Antonia
Published: July 2019

Due to a unique colonial history, Hong Kong today operates under the “One Country, Two Systems” framework. In the years immediately following the handover, it was generally thought that this was working quite well. In recent years, however, tensions have arisen within the “One Country, Two Systems” model, most notably including the 2014 Umbrella Movement, the imprisonment of student protesters and various notable incidents like the disappearance of five book publishers. This article aims to uncover how consistent the EU is in promoting democratic norms in its relations with the HKSAR. Using discourse analysis of relevant EU documents, the article explores two things. Firstly, to investigate whether these tensions lead to potential (in)consistencies between what the EU says and how it in fact acts regarding disputes between Hong Kong and China. Secondly, since a large part of EU discourse stresses the promotion of values and norms such as democracy, this article analyses the consistency of this discourse.

Authors: Dandessa Chala , Negisho Tokuma , Bekele Gadisa
Published: June 2019

Most of the information regarding traditional medicinal plants are still in the hands of traditional vendors, and knowledge of vendors is either lost or passed orally from generation to next generation. This study aimed to survey and document the currently used plants by herbalists in Jeldu Woreda and record their medicinal usage and mode of preparation. Due to most of the vendors of traditional medicinal plants in Jeldu Woreda are alliterated, the data was gathered by supported questionnaire from both vendors and the users of this traditional medicinal plants. The study was limited to traditional medicinal plants which used to treat diseases related to skin, digestive system and circulatory system. The technique used to select the sample from the traditional medicinal plant venders was available sampling since the number of venders in the selected site is not large in number. Thus all the traditional medicinal plant venders in Jeldu Woreda were the respondents of the study. From selected research site about 21 medicinal plants vendorsand 47 users were participated in the study. The finding of the study concluded that there were some plants used to treat some human disease in Jeldu Woreda. Therefore, this research tried to document some medicinal plants used to treat human gastrointestinal, skin and other diseases by including the mode of preparation and how to apply. In this research about 68 respondents have participated. Out of those respondents, 21 were vendors of medicinal plants while 47 were users of medicinal plants. According to data from the medicinal plant vendors and users total of 26 plant species were identified with an identification of the plants’ part with medicinal value. Also, the modes of preparation and mode of application were described in this research. Among this plants species, more than half of them used to treat digestive system disease. From the 26 plant species about half of those plants were recorded for their ability to treat skin disease. The application of the prepared medicine on the skin is mostly by painting the liquidified medicine from plant on infected skin.

Aimed to evaluate the bromatological composition of different genotypes of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) to energy production through combustion. The experimental design was a randomized block with 3 repetition and the treatments arranged in a subdivided plots scheme, considering as a plots the thirteen genotypes and harvests (dry and rainy) as subplots. The genotypes evaluated were Cubano Pinda, Porto Rico, Vrukwona, Piracicaba 241, Cuba 116, Taiwan A-25, Mecker, Napier, Canará, Guaçu, Cameroon, CNPGL 93-41-1 and CNPGL 91-25-1 clones. The experiment lasted two consecutive years with harvests made every 6 months, with a harvest in the dry season (September) and another one in the rainy season (March), totaling 4 harvests. For dry matter content analysis, three tillers were selected at random and dried in an oven at 55ºC until reaching a constant mass. For biomass quality analysis, the samples were ground in Willey type mills with 1 mm sieves, submitted to bromatological analysis to determine the neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, hemicellulose, volatile materials, and fixed carbon content. Higher levels of dry matter (greater than 44.4%), acid detergent fiber (greater than 44.8%), volatile matter (greater than 94.3%) and higher calorific value (greater than 3,450 kcal kg-1) occur in the dry period of the year and in genotypes Mercker, Piracicaba 241, Guaçu and BRS Canará genotypes.

Authors: Lela Gogou , Evaggelia Kalerante
Published: June 2019

The present paper delves into theoretical and research principles determinant to the development of sociology of education throughout 1960-1980. The productive conceptual discourse is analyzed, as it is conducive to interpreting fields of research which, through sociology, are developed and transform the ideological framework towards the institutional operation of education. Certain schools of thought are selected on the basis of their impact on issues of social environments perception and operation through the mediation of ideas that define the social subject and its construction and reconstruction through education. This time period is emphasized so as to underline the fact that contemporary considerations about the sociology of education are the outcome of concepts formed throughout 1960-1980.  In this respect, a form of dialogue with the past sociology of education is established, as this is also eminent in the present given that sociological theoretical patterns of the period 1960-1980 can operate towards interpreting and understanding currently occurring phenomena.

Authors: Shi Wei , Guo Yunlong , Liu Yunqi
Published: June 2019

The emergence of flexible organic electronics that span the fields of physics and biomimetics creates the possibility for increasingly simple and intelligent products for use in everyday life. Organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs), with their inherent flexibility, light weight, and biocompatibility, have shown great promise in the field of biomimicry. By applying such biomimetic OFETs for the internet of things (IoT) makes it possible to imagine novel products and use cases for the future. Recent advances in flexible OFETs and their applications in biomimetic systems are reviewed. Strategies to achieve flexible OFETs are individually discussed and recent progress in biomimetic sensory systems and nervous systems is reviewed in detail. OFETs are revealed to be one of the best systems for mimicking sensory and nervous systems. Additionally, a brief discussion of information storage based on OFETs is presented. Finally, a personal view of the utilization of biomimetic OFETs in the IoT and future challenges in this research area are provided.

Published: June 2019

Cartilage hair hypoplasia (CHH), anauxetic dysplasia 1, and anauxetic dysplasia 2 are rare metaphyseal dysplasias caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in RMRP and POP1, which encode the components of RNAse‐MRP endoribonuclease complex (RMRP) in ribosomal biogenesis pathway. Nucleolus and neural progenitor protein (NEPRO), encoded by NEPRO (C3orf17), is known to interact with multiple protein subunits of RMRP. We ascertained a 6‐year‐old girl with skeletal dysplasia and some features of CHH. RMRP and POP1 did not harbor any causative variant in the proband. Parents‐child trio exomes revealed a candidate biallelic variant, c.435G>C, p.(Leu145Phe) in NEPRO. Two families with four affected individuals with skeletal dysplasia and a homozygous missense variant, c.280C>T, p.(Arg94Cys) in NEPRO, were identified from literature and their published phenotype was compared in detail to the phenotype of the child we described. All the five affected individuals have severe short stature, brachydactyly, skin laxity, joint hypermobility, and joint dislocations. They also have short metacarpals, broad middle phalanges, and metaphyseal irregularities. Protein modeling and stability prediction showed that the mutant protein has decreased stability. Both the reported variants are in the same domain of the protein. Our report delineates the clinical and radiological characteristics of an emerging ribosomopathy caused by biallelic variants in NEPRO.

Authors: Song Chunlan , Dong Xin , Wang Zhongjie , Liu Kun , Chiang Chien‐Wei , Lei Aiwen
Published: June 2019

The [4+2] annulation represents an elegant and versatile synthetic protocol for the construction of benzene rings. Herein, a strategy for visible‐light induced [4+2] annulation of thiophenes and alkynes, to afford benzene rings, is presented. Under simple and mild reaction conditions, the ready availability and structural diversity of thiophenes and alkynes permit the facile synthesis of several substituted aromatic rings. Valuable drugs and amino acids are also well tolerated. Moreover, DFT calculations explain the high regioselectivity of the reaction.

Published: June 2019

Mono‐ and dianions of 2‐tert‐butyl‐3a2‐azapentabenzo[bc,ef,hi,kl,no]corannulene (1 a) were synthesized by chemical reduction with sodium and cesium metals, and crystallized as the corresponding salts in the presence of 18‐crown‐6 ether. X‐ray diffraction analysis of the sodium salt, [{Na+(18‐crown‐6)(THF)2}3{Na+(18‐crown‐6)(THF)}(1 a2−)2], revealed the presence of a naked dianion. In contrast, controlled reaction of 1 a with Cs allowed the isolation of singly and doubly reduced forms of 1 a, both forming π‐complexes with cesium ions in the solid state. In [{Cs+(18‐crown‐6)}(1 a−)]⋅THF, asymmetric binding of the Cs+ ion to the concave surface of 1 a− is observed, whereas in [{Cs+(18‐crown‐6)}2(1 a2−)], two Cs+ ions bind to both the concave and convex surfaces of the dianion. The present study provides the first successful isolation and characterization of the reduced products of heteroatom‐containing buckybowl molecules.

During the total chemical synthesis of the water‐soluble globular Haemophilus Influenzae DNA ligase (Hin‐Lig), we observed the surprising phenomenon of a soluble peptide segment that failed to undergo native chemical ligation. Based on dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy experiments, we determined that the peptide formed soluble colloidal particles in a homogeneous solution containing 6 m guanidine hydrochloride. Conventional peptide performance‐improving strategies, such as installation of a terminal/side‐chain Arg tag or O‐acyl isopeptide, failed to enable the reaction, presumably because of their inability to disrupt the formation of soluble colloidal particles. However, a removable backbone modification strategy recently developed for the synthesis of membrane proteins did disrupt the formation of the colloids, and the desired ligation of this soluble but unreactive system was eventually accomplished. This work demonstrates that an appropriate solution dispersion state, in addition to good peptide solubility, is a prerequisite for successful peptide ligation.

The waste silicon rubber composite insulator (WSiRC) was applied along with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and pentaerythritol (PER) to improve the flame retardancy of polypropylene (PP) in this study. Considering the compatibility among PP, WSiRC, and flame‐retardant additives, WSiRC was treated by acid and N2 plasma to obtain the plasma‐treated WSiRC (PLSiR), which decreases the amount of the inorganic additive and grafts amino groups onto the surface of the silicon rubber. The infrared spectrocopy (IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) confirm that NH2 groups have been grafted onto the surface of PLSiR. The TGA data also show that PLSiR had the char improving ability and promote the crosslink of APP, which results in its promotion for the flame retartancy of PP proved by the data of limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL94 rating and cone tests. It is also showed that PLSiR is superior than the WSiRC treated only by acid (ASiR) due to the differences in the structure and polarity. Moreover, the improvement of PLSiR on the flame retardancy of PP is dependent on its amounts. It is indicated that the 1 wt % loading of PLSiR in PP with APP and PER has the highest LOI value of 30.9 and reached UL94 rating V‐0. The peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release (THR) values are also decreased by 68.7 and 15%, respectively. SEM and Raman results show the condensed mechanism is ascribed to the PP/APP‐PER/PLSiR system because the quality of char affect the flame retardancy of PP. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

Climate change and the human factor: Why does not everyone realize what is happening?
Authors: Brenner Ira
Published: June 2019

The notion of standing on “solid ground” is most reassuring. However, it is a myth, because we now know that the surface of the earth is composed of tectonic plates that float and move. Similarly, the notion that our climate is stable and fixed is also a myth. We now know that we are living in a time of great flux, and as science tell us, we have a role its fate. Psychological defenses against the affects and anxieties associated with awareness of this progressive upheaval fuel the current sociopolitical debate about “climate change.” Maladaptive attitudes, rooted in ignorance, fear, superstition, and religion, will be looked at from a developmental perspective and applied to large‐group psychology. Just as young children are incapable of realizing that their violent actions could actually hurt their mothers, many adults refuse to believe that their actions could actually hurt “Mother Earth.” In addition, the possible role of transmitted ancestral memory of earlier global catastrophe is also taken into consideration. As such, it may be an unrecognized factor that may complicate large‐group responses to this most pressing problem.
Visualization and Quantification of Digitally Dissected Muscle Fascicles in the Masticatory Muscles ofCallithrix jacchusUsing Nondestructive DiceCT

The organization and length of a muscle's fascicles imparts its contractile properties. Longer fascicles permit increased muscle excursion, whereas changes in fascicle orientation relate to the overall vector of contractile force. Collecting data on fascicle architecture has traditionally involved destructive and irreversible gross dissection. In recent years, however, new imaging modalities have permitted muscles and their fascicles to be visualized nondestructively. Here, we present data from a primate (Callithrix jacchus), in which, for the first time, individual muscle fascicles are digitally “dissected” (segmented and reconstructed) using nondestructive, high‐resolution diffusible iodine‐based contrast‐enhanced computed tomography (DiceCT) techniques. We also present quantitative data on the length and orientation of these fascicles within 10 muscle divisions of the jaw adductor and abductor musculature (superficial, deep, and zygomatic portions of temporalis and masseter; medial and lateral pterygoid; anterior and posterior digastric) and compare these digitally measured lengths to fascicular lengths measured using traditional gross and chemical dissection. Digitally derived fascicle lengths correspond well to their dissection‐derived counterparts. Moreover, our analyses of changes in fascicle orientation across the adductor complex enable us to visualize previously uncharacterized levels of detail and highlight significant variation between adjacent muscle layers within muscle groups (e.g., between superficial, deep, and zygomatic portions of masseter and temporalis). We conclude that this technique offers great potential to future research, particularly for questions centered around the visualization and quantification of obscured and often‐overlooked muscles such as the pterygoid and digastric muscles, and for deriving more accurate models of the masticatory system as a whole.

Monocular passive ranging of maneuvering intruder for UAS detect‐and‐avoid
Authors: Daugherty Jordan , Bai He
Published: June 2019

We investigate a planar orbiting intruder passive ranging problem, where an ownship aircraft is moving with a constant velocity and a co‐planar intruder aircraft is conducting an orbiting maneuver. The objective is to estimate the state information of the intruder, such as range, speed and heading, using only bearing measurements of the intruder from the ownship. This is relevant to detect‐and‐avoid applications where an unmanned aerial system (UAS) is equipped with only a monocular camera sensor and needs to determine the range to the intruder. We utilize a filter bank algorithm parameterized with respect to the range, heading, and angular velocity of the intruder's initial states. In previous work, we performed investigations on the effects of parameterizing the filter bank algorithm and the system model using Monte Carlo Simulations. We extend our previous study to include a study on the effects of the ownship speed on the filter performance as well as a Cramer‐Rao lower bound comparison. Since the intruder's motion may be composed of straight legs and orbits, we integrate our filter bank algorithm into an Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) framework for two maneuver models: constant velocity and coordinated turn. We conduct Monte Carlo simulations of the IMM algorithm to study the effects of varying the IMM mixing stage frequency and the off diagonal values for the transition probability matrix. Our simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

The fidelity of 28 CMIP5 models and their multimodel mean (MMM) in simulating the historical climate of Africa is assessed in this study. For the historical period of 1975–2005, the spatial distribution of the seasonal precipitation is simulated with pattern correlation coefficients (PCCs) of 0.91, 0.95, 0.94, and 0.95 for March–May (MAM), June–August (JJA), September–November (SON), and December–February (DJF) seasons, respectively, when compared with the CRU data. For the surface temperature, the PCCs are 0.96, 0.98, 0.83, and 0.97, respectively, for the four seasons mentioned in the preceding. The root mean square error (RMSE) for the precipitation are 0.86, 0.77, 0.97, and 1.05 mm day−1 for the MAM, JJA, SON, and DJF seasons, respectively, whereas for the temperature, the respective values are 1.64, 1.28, 1.68, and 1.87°C. The study also assesses the performance of the models over four sub‐regions of Africa, viz. North, South, East, and West Africa. The observational trends show large spatial heterogeneity in warming for each season. The MMM does not show the strong warming over Africa and simulate generally a weak warming over most of the region. The MMM fails to capture the sign and magnitude of the observed precipitation trends.

A novel trisarylborane–Bi(III) complex, tris(4‐(dimesitylboryl)phenyl)bismuthine [Bi(PhBMes2)3], in which (Ph = phenyl, and Mes = mesityl), was synthesized via the reaction of bismuth (III) chloride (BiCl3) with three equivalents of lithiated (4‐bromophenyl)‐ dimesitylborane [BrPhBMes2]. The new trisarylbismuthine was characterized by elemental analysis, ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy. The molecular structure of Bi(PhBMes2)3 in the solid state was determined using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis, which showed short intermolecular C–H···H–C contact. The complex is a fluorescent emitter (λmax = 395 nm) at room temperature and a phosphorescent emitter (λmax = 423 nm) at 77 K, which displayed a long lifetime of 495 ms. The UV–vis transitions were investigated using density function theory (DFT) and time‐dependent (TD)‐DFT calculations. Natural bond orbital analysis showed that the bismuth (III) center was mainly Lewis acidic in nature.
