Synthesis and characterization of titania/graphene nanocomposite for application in photocatalysis
Authors: Aguilera Mandujano A. , Serrato Rodriguez J.
Published: September 2020

Titanium dioxide has been extensively investigated as a photocatalyst for water purification, presenting limitations such as recombination of electron-hole pairs generated by photons. The titania / graphene nanocomposites are promising materials to overcome these limitations due to the high specific area of graphene and unique electronic properties. In this work, an anatase-graphene nanocomposite was synthesized by a simple mixture assisted by ultrasound. Graphene was obtained by electrochemical exfoliation of graphite using the electrolysis technique. On the other hand, anatase was synthesized using the sol gel method. The obtained graphene, anatase and the nanocomposite material, were characterized with the X-ray diffraction technique (DRX), scanning electron microscopy (MEB) and transmission electron microscopy (MET). Using Raman spectroscopy, it was possible to verify that the graphite exfoliated correctly producing few layer-graphene. The lamellar nano-structure of the exfoliated graphite has crystallographic planes characteristic of graphite, graphene and graphene oxide. The presence of the anatase phase is shown in the diffraction spectrum of titania. The images obtained with SEM and TEM of the graphene sample show a layered lamellar structure and the TiO2 images show agglomerates of ellipsoidal nanoparticles. Obtained titania nanoparticles have a size of about 6 nm. Band gap value for such extremely low particle size nanocomposite is around 3.6 eV and presumably corresponds to the TiO2 (anatase) phase that completely surrounds the graphene. A nanocomposite model based on HRTEM observations is proposed. Considering the graphene electrical properties and the photocatalytic properties of TiO2, this nanocomposite promises to have applications in photocatalysis.
Effect of nature and degree of crosslinking agent of poly(hydroxy-butyl-methacrylate-co-2-ethyl-hexyl-acrylate) networks on the swelling properties in nematic liquid crystal 5CB
Authors: Mellal T. , Habchi M. , Dali Youcef B.
Published: September 2020

We experimentally measured the effect of nature and concentration of crosslinker on the photopolymerized time of the poly(hydroxy-butyl-methacrylate-co-2-ethyl-hexyl-acrylate)/5CB system. Initial mixtures are composed of monofunctional monomers hydroxy-butyl-methacrylate (HBMA) and 2-ethyl-hexyl-acrylate (2-EHA), and one of the three bifunctional monomers, poly-propylene-glycol-di-acrylate (PPGDA), tri-propylene-glycol-di-acrylate (TPGDA), or 1,6-hexane-diol-di-acrylate (HDDA), and 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone (Darocur 1173) as a photoinitiator. The copolymers were elaborated via UV irradiation of reactive formulation. The central composite face-centered design of experiments (DoE) has been used to determine the influence of temperature, crosslinking density and their interactions on swelling behavior of poly(HBMA-co-EHA/crosslinker) networks in liquid crystal 5CB. The experimental results and the predicted responses indicate a good correlation and therefore the validity of the used model.

Published: September 2020

This paper is devoted to investigating the description of the q-deformed multiple-trapping equation for charge carrier transport in amorphous semiconductors. For this, we at first modified the multi–trapping model (MTM) of charge carriers in amorphous semiconductors from time-of-flight (TOF) transient photo-current in the framework of the q-derivative formalism, and then, we have constructed, our simulated current by using a method based on the Laplace method. This method is implemented in a program proposed recently by [14] which allows us to construct a current using the Padé approximation expansion.

A non-cubic equation of state is used to predict the solid-liquid, solid-vapor and liquid-vapor coexistences of pure substances. The equation of state is obtained using as input data the critical point, the boiling temperature, the triple point temperature and the acentric factor of the substance. In this work, some examples of phase diagrams predicted with the equation of state are reported in order to show its capabilities. Finally, a database with the parameters for different pure substances is presented.

Published: September 2020

AbstractIn this paper, we investigated the influence of energy-dependent potentials on the thermodynamic properties of the Klein-Gordon oscillator(KGO): in this way all thermal properties have been determinate via the well-know Euler-Maclaurin method. After this, we extend our study to the case of superstatistical properties of our problem in question. The probability densityf(β)followsχ2− superstatistics (=Tsallis statistics or Gamma distribution). Under the approximation of the low-energy asymptotics of superstatistics, the partition function, at first, has been calculated. This approximation leads to a universal parameterqfor any superstatistics, not only for Tsallis statistics. By using the desired partition function, all thermal properties have been obtained in terms of the parameterq. Also, the influence of the this type of potentials on these properties, via the parameterγ, are well discussed.
Analysis of intra-day fluctuations in the Mexican financial market index
Authors: Alfonso L. , Garcia-Ramirez D. E. , Mansilla R. , Terrero-Escalante C. A.
Published: September 2020

In this paper, a statistical analysis of high frequency fluctuations of the IPC, the Mexican Stock Market Index, is presented. A sample of tick--to--tick data covering the period from January 1999 to December 2002 was analyzed, as well as several other sets obtained using temporal aggregation. Our results indicates that the highest frequency is not useful to understand the Mexican market because almost two thirds of the information corresponds to inactivity. For the frequency where fluctuations start to be relevant, the IPC data does not follows any $\alpha$-stable distribution, including the Gaussian, perhaps because of the presence of autocorrelations. For a long range of lower-frequencies, but still in the intra-day regime, fluctuations can be described as a truncated L\'evy flight, while for frequencies above two-days, a Gaussian distribution yields the best fit. Thought these results are consistent with other previously reported for several  markets, there are significant differences in the details of the corresponding descriptions.

OBJECTIVE

In an effort to prevent loss of segmental lordosis (SL) with minimally invasive interbody fusions, manufacturers have increased the amount of lordosis that is built into interbody cages. However, the relationship between cage lordotic angle and actual SL achieved intraoperatively remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine if the lordotic angle manufactured into an interbody cage impacts the change in SL during minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) done for degenerative pathology.

METHODS

The authors performed a retrospective review of a single-surgeon database of adult patients who underwent primary LIF between April 2017 and December 2018. Procedures were performed for 1–2-level lumbar degenerative disease using contemporary MIS techniques, including transforaminal LIF (TLIF), lateral LIF (LLIF), and anterior LIF (ALIF). Surgical levels were classified on lateral radiographs based on the cage lordotic angle (6°–8°, 10°–12°, and 15°–20°) and the position of the cage in the disc space (anterior vs posterior). Change in SL was the primary outcome of interest. Subgroup analyses of the cage lordotic angle within each surgical approach were also conducted.

RESULTS

A total of 116 surgical levels in 98 patients were included. Surgical approaches included TLIF (56.1%), LLIF (32.7%), and ALIF (11.2%). There were no differences in SL gained by cage lordotic angle (2.7° SL gain with 6°–8° cages, 1.6° with 10°–12° cages, and 3.4° with 15°–20° cages, p = 0.581). Subgroup analysis of LLIF showed increased SL with 15° cages only (p = 0.002). The change in SL was highest after ALIF (average increase 9.8° in SL vs 1.8° in TLIF vs 1.8° in LLIF, p < 0.001). Anterior position of the cage in the disc space was also associated with a significantly greater gain in SL (4.2° vs −0.3°, p = 0.001), and was the only factor independently correlated with SL gain (p = 0.016).

CONCLUSIONS

Compared with cage lordotic angle, cage position and approach play larger roles in the generation of SL in 1–2-level MIS for lumbar degenerative disease.

Swissfire: technically updated and enhanced through archive research

The Swiss forest fire database Swissfire is a core element of the national forest fire strategy. The multilingual database has been built progressively thanks to the cooperation of the Swiss federal institute for forest, snow and landscape research (WSL), the Federal office for the environment and the Cantons. Swissfire uses the free open source database software PostgreSQL and allows the online collection and management of event-specific information on forest fires as well as the generation of forest fire statistics. The associated web applications were developed using the WSL open source platform Box. Parameters such as date, location, extent, type and cause of the fire as well as forest-related parameters such as the affected forest type are recorded. Overall aim is the record of all Swiss forest fire data in the most comprehensive and standardized way possible. Historical events are therefore also of interest and are usually retrieved through archive researches. In a pilot project for evaluating the potential for historic fires in online and electronic newspaper archives, 779 events were retrieved throughout Switzerland, as well as supplementary information on additional 80 known events. Thanks to available online geoportals, it was possible to locate precisely the ignition point of 640 fires in Ticino and Misox, for which only the place name was known. Fire brigade archives are also valuable sources of information: since 1938, 870 forest fire events were retrieved based on fire-fighting reports, for which no notification to the cantonal forest service existed. Based on such archive researches, analyses of past and present fire regimes become possible: the formerly very large differences in fire frequency between the southern and northern sides of the Alps seem to have diminished in recent decades. However, there are still considerable differences among the contributions of single municipalities to Swissfire in the frame of the archive researches, suggesting that there is still potential for adding so far unregistered fire events.

Root reinforcement and slope stability modeling: a review

Rooted soils are comparable to composite materials that have very heterogeneous mechanical properties. The analysis and quantification of these properties and their change over time is very time-consuming and complex, but central to many practice-relevant aspects of soil bioengineering and protection forest management. The article summarizes recent knowledge and approaches for the quantification of so-called root reinforcement – the reinforcement of soil by roots – and its implementation in slope stability models. Root reinforcement involves four mechanisms: basal root reinforcement, lateral root reinforcement under tension, lateral root reinforcement under pressure, and stiffening of the landslide body. Recently, the SlideforNET/SlideforMAP and SOSlope models have been developed for practical use. SlideforNET is an online tool that allows to assess the likelihood of shallow landslides and the protective effect of forest cover within a few minutes. SlideforMAP is based on the same approach as SlideforNET, but is spatially distributed and takes into account the forest structure in a catchment area or a region in detail. In particular, SOSlope supports the quantification of the protective effectiveness of forest stands as well as the planning of protection forest management and of soil bioengineering measures. Initial pilot projects show that the models enable the transition from a “qualitative” to a “quantitative” soil bioengineering.

Does the forest provide protection from landslides? Evidence from the WSL Shallow Landslide Database

During strong rainfall events, shallow landslides and debris avalanches (hillslope debris flows, or open-slope debris flows) are triggered and sometimes lead to considerable damage. Analysis of damage-causing events show that there are fewer landslides in forested areas compared to non-forested areas, which indicates the generally positive influence of forest vegetation on slope stability. However, these effects depend on the condition of the forest stand and quantification of the effects is difficult. Event documentation contributes to a better understanding of the relevant processes. The information obtained is not only important for the preparation of hazard maps, but also provides valuable insight for assessing the hazard protection provided by the forest. Data from the landslide database of the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) were used to evaluate the influence of the forest on slope stability. Currently, the database contains information on 734 landslides. Of these, 661 were included in the evaluation – 356 landslides in non-forested areas and 305 in forested areas. In areas with slope angles up to 38°, more landslides per unit area are observed in non-forested areas than in forested areas. In areas with steeper slope angles a stabilizing effect of the forest is no longer recognizable. Statistical analyses show that landslides in forested areas are smaller than in non-forested areas and are more frequent on steeper slopes. In general, the landslides become smaller with increasing slope. Multivariate analyses indicate a positive influence of the forest and also somewhat smaller landslides in well-developed forests. Negative effects are evident in non-forested areas and in areas with overly dense forests. In addition to illustrating the importance of the forest condition for slope stability, the paper also discusses how the forest condition can be described.

Regulations in the forest sector in transition: danger prevention, multifunctionality and coordination

Since the enactment of the first federal forest law in 1876, the Federal Act on the Supervision of the Forest Police in High Mountain Regions, regulations in the forest have changed considerably. The prevention of hazards moved into the background, while the promotion of forest management, biodiversity and improved economic structures gained in importance. This article traces these developments from a political-economic perspective and analyses why conflicts and implementation problems have increased. In the beginning, regulation was largely limited to the definition of the objectives. How the objectives were to be achieved was delegated to the territorially organised enforcement structure, the Forest Service. Until about the 1980s, the forest community was able to distinguish itself from neighbouring sectors and also defend the forest sector against explicit management regulations. Since the 1980s – as a result of increasing pressure on natural resources – there have been a constantly intensifying need for coordination and an increasing density of regulation. Due to the many and varied demands, a reduction in the regulatory density in the forest sector is unlikely. In order to give forest owners more freedom, regulations, for example in the field of biodiversity, could be more impact oriented rather than measure oriented. Furthermore, efforts should also be made to design regulations in such a way as to create markets in which forest owners can offer products or services. If the legal conditions are met, the coordination of compensations for clearances and of biodiversity offsetting compensations according to article 18 (1ter) of the Nature and Cultural Heritage Act could support the formation of a compensation market. However, the effectiveness of such regulations continues to depend on a sufficient capacity for implementation and monitoring.

Early detection of bark beetle infestations by remote sensing: what is feasible today?

Infestation by the Norway spruce (Picea abies) bark beetle (Ips typographus) in uniform forest stands of the high montane and subalpine stage is a major challenge for management. It is impossible to identify in time all susceptible or already infested spruces in the often steep terrain solely by terrestrial observations and to prevent the proliferation of the beetle. A time-saving, cost-effective and effective method for finding these spruces is necessary and remote sensing techniques appear promising. Therefore, we investigated the potential of hyperspectral remote sensing data for the early detection of stressed or infested spruces using a case study in the experimental forest of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ) in Sedrun. The approach that we developed is based on a combination of field surveys, hyperspectral data, vegetation indices calculated from these and their classification into the three classes “dead”, “stressed” and “healthy” using Random Forests, a machine-learning approach. We demonstrate that stressed spruces can be identified with this approach, but it is not yet ready for operational use. In particular, a slope-specific calibration of the method is necessary, which makes practical application impossible.

An in vitro study to explore the modulation of eosinophil effector function in human allergic peripheral blood eosinophils using enzymatically extracted salmonid oil
Authors: Framroze Bomi , Heggdal Henriette
Published: September 2020

Background: The consumption of oily fish in early childhood diets has been correlated to a reduction in the progression of asthma during adolescence and young adulthood. Extending these results to studies on supplementation with omega-3 fish oils has led to equivocal results, with no clear results. One subset of asthma patients is classified as steroid-treatment resistant, which may be attributable to eosinophil dysfunction. This in-vitro study investigated the prophylactic effect of enzymatically extracted salmon oil, as a proxy for eating fresh whole oily fish, on eosinophil function using allergic human peripheral blood eosinophils.Methods: We measured three eosinophil effector functions in allergic human peripheral blood eosinophils after prophylactic treatment with enzymatically extracted salmonid oil. We measured changes in: i) eosinophil shape change in normal PMNL ii) integrin upregulation in normal PMNL and iii) eosinophil apoptosis. We further measured changes in these functions after prophylactic treatment with omega-3 fish oil, krill oil, and fractions of the salmon oil subjected to several commercial fish oil processing conditions.Results: Prophylactic treatment of allergic human peripheral blood eosinophil with 100 ug/ml of enzymatically extracted salmonid oil showed modulation of eosinophil effect functions and apoptosis comparable to APOA-IV at 3ug/ml. Vigorous processing conditions applied to the salmon oil degraded the observed eosinophil modulation. Krill oil and standard fish oil showed no to low eosinophil modulation.Conclusions: Enzymatically extracted salmonid oil demonstrates potential therapeutic promise for the treatment of eosinophil effector malfunction-based allergic and inflammatory conditions, particularly certain types of asthma and COPD. Treatment of the oil with commercial marine oil processing conditions significantly reduces or eliminates this eosinophil effector function modulation.Keywords: Eosinophils, asthma, salmon oil, APOA-IV, apoptosis

METHODS: A total of 50 women (aged between 48–78) with grade 2–3 knee OA according to the Kellgren-Lawrence radiographic scale were enrolled. OA-specific physical performance tests (40 m Fast-Paced Walk Test (40mFPWT), 30 s Chair Stand Test (30sCST), Stair Climb Test (9-step SCT)), six-minute walk test (6MWT), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were performed. Fifty patients were randomized to either the treatment or control groups. The treatment group received an additional aerobic exercise training along with a combined physiotherapy program for six weeks. The aerobic exercise program was carried out by the same physiotherapist every weekday (five days) for six weeks. The control group only received a combined physiotherapy program for six weeks. RESULTS: The post-treatment comparisons of the two groups yielded similar SCT results (p> 0.05), while VAS scores, the results of all performance tests, WOMAC scores, and the distance covered in 6MWT were significantly higher in the treatment group (p< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Consequently, this study provides an insight into the efficacy of the aerobic exercise program applied along with a combined physiotherapy program in postmenopausal women with knee OA.
What’s your type? An examination of first-year doctoral student motivation
Authors: Hands Africa S.
Published: September 2020

Educators often ask how to motivate PhD students. Before addressing how to motivate students, we should know what motivates prospective doctoral students. Motivational support has been shown to lead to overall satisfaction with the educational process, better engagement, and persistence. Using the interdisciplinary field of library and information science, this research offers insight on doctoral student motivation through quantitative analysis of results from administration of the Academic Motivation Scale. The instrument measures and classifies motivation from the perspective of self-determination theory. Results suggest PhD students are motivated by several types of intrinsic motivation as well as identified regulation, a type of extrinsic yet autonomous motivation. Findings can be used by program administrators, faculty, and other stakeholders to address the “how” of motivation through better alignment of teaching practices, research activities, and student services based on students’ motivation types.

Large-scale pandemic events have sent scientific communities scrambling to gather and analyze data to provide governments and policy makers with information to inform decisions and policies needed when imperfect information is all that may be available. Historical records from the 1918 influenza pandemic reflect how little improvement has been made in how government and policy responses are formed when large scale threats occur, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This commentary discusses three examples of how metadata improvements are being, or may be made, to facilitate gathering and assessment of data to better understand complex and dynamic situations. In particular, metadata strategies can be applied in advance, on the fly or even after events to integrate and enrich perspectives that aid in creating balanced actions to minimize impacts with lowered risk of unintended consequences. Metadata can enhance scope, speed and clarity with which scholarly communities can curate their outputs for optimal discovery and reuse. Conclusions are framed within the Metadata 2020 working group activities that lay a foundation for advancement of scholarly communications to better serve all communities.

Published: September 2020

Affected by environmental factors, the performance of fiber optic current transformer (FOCT) will deteriorate over a long period of time. Intelligent fault diagnosis algorithm of Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) combing with Support Vector Machine (SVM) is an effective way to deal with FOCT failures. According to the characteristics of LSTM, a signal prediction model in FOCT based on LSTM is proposed by analyzing the historical data. The residual signal can be obtained by the prediction signal and the observed signal. Set the residual threshold to determine whether the FOCT has fault. With the residual signal characteristics, a fault diagnosis model based on SVM is established. By analyzing the residual signal and extracting features, the diagnostic network can realize the pattern recognition and system fault diagnosis. Experiments demonstrate that the drift deviation fault, the ratio deviation fault and the fixed deviation fault can be diagnosed with an accuracy of 94.5%.
Influence of the physical parameters on the limits of magnetic stiffness of high-Tc superconducting levitation systems

Published: September 2020

Magnetic stiffness is one of the important stability parameters of high temperature superconducting levitation systems. Till to now, great efforts have been made to understand levitation properties including flux penetration, magnetization curves, levitation force, ac susceptibilities, etc. In this paper we present a quadratic approximation method for the limit of magnetic stiffness in a high temperature superconducting levitation system based on Kim’s critical state model and Ampère law. The system is composed with a cylindrical permanent magnet (PM) and a coaxial high temperature superconductor (HTS). It is found that the limit of magnetic stiffness depends upon both the penetration history of shielding currents distribution in HTS and applied magnetic field gradients. Furthermore, the influence of the physical parameters, such as critical current density in HTS and applied magnetic field, on the limits of magnetic stiffness is investigated in detail. The obtained results display that magnetic stiffness decreases with the increasing of critical current density, since shielding currents have not penetrated into the large portion of the HTS. With the increase of applied magnetic field, the magnetic stiffness obtain a larger magnification factor. It is related to the increase of the shielding current penetration volume and the internal magnetic field in HTS.
Saliency enhancement and torque ripple reduction of wound field synchronous machine by injecting optimum harmonic in rotor shape
Authors: Chai Wenping , Kwon Byung-il
Published: September 2020

This paper presents a new rotor shape design with optimum reverse 3rd harmonic for wound field synchronous machines to effectively enhance the saliency ratio and reduce the torque ripple in a micro electric vehicle traction system. Due to the enhanced saliency ratio, the reluctance torque is expected to be improved. The air gap flux density distribution is reshaped by the new rotor shape method, which benefits the low torque ripple. By contrast, the reverse 3rd harmonic injection is much more suitable than the general 3rd harmonic injection for increasing the effective air gap length along the q-axis for a high saliency ratio. Subsequently, three amplitudes of the reverse 3rd harmonic are studied and it is found that the optimum reverse 3rd harmonic is 1/6 of the fundamental one. To verify the effectivity of the proposed design, the original model and the ICS model are compared. Finally, all the motor characteristics, such as back electromotive force, cogging torque, and electromagnetic torque, are predicted using a 2-D finite-element method with the aid of JMAG-Designer.

Published: September 2020

Piezo driver for piezoelectric bimorph actuators is the key component for micro-positioning application. Hysteresis nonlinearity of piezoelectric bimorph actuators limits the performance of micro-positioning systems. A novel piezo driver was developed with Prandtl-Ishlinskii (P-I) model and correction network. The combination of P-I model and correction network can describe the rate-dependent hysteresis. Experiments were performed to validate the proposed piezo driver. The results show that the piezo driver can compensate the hysteresis of the piezoelectric bimorph actuator in the frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz, and the accuracy of micro-positioning have been greatly improved.
A twisting vibration based energy harvester for ultra-low frequency excitations
Authors: Fan Kangqi , Qu Hengheng , Cai Meiling
Published: September 2020

Ultra-low frequency mechanical excitations are omnipresent in our surrounding environment, but the efficient exploitation of them is generally difficult because they normally drive the widely reported cantilevered harvesters to work under non-resonant conditions. Although the frequency up-conversion strategy has been proposed to mitigate this issue, it usually leads to complicated structures. This paper reports a novel energy harvesting approach based on the twisting vibration of a string-driven rotor. To examine the feasibility of this approach, an electromagnetic energy harvester is designed, which is composed of a lid, a rotor with embedded magnets, a pendant, and a tube with pick-up coils attached to the outer surface. The rotor is suspended between the lid and the pendant through a piece of string, and then actuated by the ambient excitations through the string. Under the excitations produced by a crank-slider mechanism, the designed harvester can generate useful electric outputs that are proportional to the excitation amplitude, the initial angle between the pendant and lid, and the excitation frequency. Moreover, the harvester can also provide 0.034 mW power when it is periodically pulled by the human hand at approximately 1 Hz. This study demonstrates the potential application of the string-driven rotor in collecting energy from ultra-low frequency excitations.
