Previbration Signature on Dynamic Properties of Dry Sand
Authors: Yang Z. X. , Wen Y. X. , Pan K.
Published: September 2018

The shear modulus and damping ratio of soils at low to medium strains are essential input parameters in dynamic response analysis of soils. As soil elements in the field always have a history of being subjected to vibrations due to earthquakes, construction works, and vehicle motions, etc., the previbration effect on the dynamic properties of soils needs to be addressed appropriately. This study presents a series of tests performed by a newly developed resonant column system that enables the assessment of the dynamic properties of soils that have only undergone dozens of vibration cycles to investigate the impact of the vibration history on the dynamic properties of dry sand. Both the shear modulus and damping ratio of sand under different confining pressures (p′) are measured after the application of a previbration with a wide range of vibration amplitudes (γpre) and number of cycles (N). The results show that an elastic threshold strain exists for the dynamic properties of sand, beyond which the effect of the vibration history can be identified from the shear modulus reduction and damping ratio curves. The results also confirm that the effect of the vibration history on dry sand depends on the test variables of γpre, N, and p′. In addition, a new interpretation method is proposed to quantify the combined effects of γpre and N on the signature of the vibration history, which could potentially be useful for interpreting the dynamic properties of the in situ soils that may experience previbration.
Effect of Aging and Temperature on the Viscosity of the Adhesive Used for Retard-Bonded Prestressed Systems
Authors: Zhang Xue , Fan Xinglang , Jiang Fangxin , Liu Fan , Yin Yuan , Jin Hongyi
Published: September 2018

The viscosity of Retard-Hardening Adhesive (RHA) varies with the hardening of resin-based materials and greatly affects the workability and prestress loss of retard-bonded prestressed systems. So far, the effect of aging time on the viscosity of the RHA has not been revealed, which hampers the further application of Retard-Bonded Prestressed Reinforcements. In the current article, therefore, an experimental study is developed to evaluate the effect of aging time on the viscosity of RHA. Different exposure temperatures and hardening periods of RHA are considered in the rheological test. Test results show that when the aging time and exposure temperature remain the same, and as the shear rate increases, the viscosity of the RHA firstly decreases rapidly and then remains basically constant. The peak viscosity increases with the aging time, exposure temperature, or both. The effects of temperature on the peak viscosity are different at different stages of aging. The effect of the hardening period on the peak viscosity can be eliminated by introducing the relative aging time. Finally, an empirical model is suggested to predict the peak viscosity of the RHA at different aging times, and the results show that the proposed model agrees well with the experimental results.
Design Proposal for Synthetic Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Pipes Using Finite Element Analysis
Authors: Al Rikabi Fouad T. , Sargand Shad M. , Hussein Husam H.
Published: September 2018

Synthetic fibers have been used recently to minimize the use of steel reinforcement cages in concrete pipes. Several studies have been conducted to determine the optimum fiber dosage complying with ASTM C76, Standard Specification for Reinforced Concrete Culvert, Storm Drain, and Sewer Pipe, strength requirements. There is still need for a comprehensive design method covering a wide range of pipe diameters. The objective of this study was to develop design tables for synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete pipe similar to those proposed in the ASTM C76 standard. The finite element model of the three-edge bearing test was calibrated and validated using the experimental results from previous work by the authors. The linear and nonlinear behavior of the synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete material was characterized using the concrete damage plasticity (CDP) model. For input data representing concrete material properties, compression strength, tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity were determined for five fiber dosages: 0, 4.75, 6, 7, and 9 kg/m3. Based on the experimental results, a new modified compression model was adopted to represent the compression behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete in the finite element models. Also, the tension behavior was defined using a model proposed by past research. A parametric study was conducted on four parameters: pipe diameter, pipe wall thickness, fiber dosage, and steel cage area. The parametric study results were summarized in tables that can be used as a reference for a new synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete pipe standard.

Graphlet-orbit Transitions v1
Authors: Aparicio David , Ribeiro Pedro , Silva Fernando
Published: September 2018

Given a set of temporal networks, from different domains and with different sizes, how can we compare them? Can we identify evolutionary patterns that are both (i) characteristic and (ii) meaningful? We address these challenges by introducing a novel temporal and topological network fingerprint named Graphlet-orbit Transitions (GoT). We demonstrate that GoT provides very rich and interpretable network characterizations. Our work puts forward an extension of graphlets and uses the notion of orbits to encapsulate the roles of nodes in each subgraph. We build a transition matrix that keeps track of the temporal trajectory of nodes in terms of their orbits, therefore describing their evolution. We also introduce a metric (OTA) to compare two networks when considering these matrices. Our experiments show that networks representing similar systems have characteristic orbit transitions. GoT correctly groups synthetic networks pertaining to well-known graph models more accurately than competing static and dynamic state-of-the-art approaches by over 30%. Furthermore, our tests on real-world networks show that GoT produces highly interpretable results, which we use to provide insight into characteristic orbit transitions.

Published: September 2018

Background: Measuring the cross-sectional area of umbilical components in normal pregnant women helps in assessing the fetal abnormalities. Very few literatures were available on evaluation of reference values of cross sectional areas of umbilical cord components. The present study was conducted with the aim to determine the normal reference values of cross sectional areas of umbilical arteries, umbilical vein and Wharton’s jelly and to correlate them with the gestational age of the fetus.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 300 normal pregnant women at the Department of Radiodiagnosis, Sri Siddhartha Medical College, Tumakuru, Karnataka to assess the reference range of cross sectional areas of umbilical cord arteries, umbilical vein and Wharton’s jelly at different gestational age of the fetus to analyze their growth.Results: A statistically significant correlation was observed between cross sectional areas of umbilical artery and vein and gestational age before and after 34 weeks (p=0.005 and 0.006 respectively) but no significant correlation was noticed with the cross-sectional area of Wharton’s jelly (p=0.088).Conclusions: Cross sectional area measurements of umbilical cord components can be considered as important tools for estimation of fetal growth.
Resection of localized cheek infantile hemangioma in the proliferative phase: a case report
Authors: Purwanthi I Gusti Ayu Putri , Roosseno Ratna Rayeni Natasha
Published: September 2018

Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common vascular tumor which is characterized by proliferative phase, involuting phase, and involuted phase. As the regression will ultimately occur at the end of the phase, the choice of treatment become controversial. Although surgical management often advocated for complicated and conservative therapy failure cases, early resection may give some benefits both to the patients and parents. This case report described a 9-month-old female with cheek IH who underwent tumor resection followed by cheek flap as the procedure to close the defect. After two days post-operation, the patient was discharged from hospital without any complication observed. The surgical scar was favorable in the first month after surgery. Early resection can be established as one of the treatment choices for fast-growing hemangioma in the proliferative phase to avoid undesirable aesthetic sequelae in the future.

Published: September 2018

Background: Aim and objectives was to study clinical profile of patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH) and evaluate clinical factors associated with short term (30-day) mortality.Methods: This is a prospective study conducted from January 2016 to January 2017 at Liver Care Unit, Osmania General Hospital. This study was approved by ethics committee of the hospital and written informed consent was obtained from all subjects included in the study. Patients with clinical alcoholic hepatitis with serum bilirubin >5mg/dl, aspartate amino transferase (AST)/ alanine amino transferase (ALT) ratio >2 with an AST level >45 but <500U/L, Maddrey’s Discriminant function (MDF) ≥32 were included in the study.Results: The 30-day mortality of severe AH in the current study was 40%. Alcoholic hepatitis was most common in males between 40-50 years with a median age of 46.9±7.7 (31-60) years. The clinical complications consisted of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in 40%, hepato renal syndrome (HRS) and renal failure in 18.2% and infections in 40%. HRS, bilirubin, ALT, AST, urea, creatinine, Na+ and all prognostic scores showed significant association with in hospital mortality at 30days on univariate analysis while United Kingdom end liver disease (UKELD) and Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) scores showed most significance on multivariate regression analysis.Conclusions: The 30-day mortality of severe AH in the current study was 40%. High UKELD, CTP scores and presence of HRS/Renal dysfunction at time of admission are associated with high 30-day mortality. Patients with advanced age, decompensated cirrhosis, coagulopathy, renal injury, malnourished status and low sodium respond poorly to therapy.

COACH-PLAYER COMMUNICATIONS: AN ANALYSIS OF TOP-LEVEL COACHING DISCOURSE AT A SHORT-TERM ICE HOCKEY CAMP
Authors: Elmes David
Published: September 2018

Purpose: This study sought to analyze the instructional discourse of top-level coaches to identify the specific language content of coaching discourse in practice.

Methodology: The study analyzed the recorded discourse of four coaches of the West Coast Hockey Prep Camp in Port Alberni, BC, Canada, between 2012 and 2016. Transcriptions of on-ice instructions were analyzed using Provalis QDA Miner v5.0.1 and Provalis WordStat v7.1.6 software to determine word-type and frequency. 

Main findings: The processed corpus of 21,376 words produced 1,022 quantifiable words which were classified into one or more of the categories of single-category language (i.e. General (G), General Slang (GSl), Sports Specific (SS), and Sports General (SG)), or the eight additional multi-category sub-categories (i.e. G/GSl, G/SS, G/SG, SS/SG, GSl/SG, G/SS/SG, G/GSl/SG, and GSl/SS/SG).  Analyses revealed that single-category vocabulary (i.e. G, GSl, SS, and SG) made up 75.2% of the categorized language, with SS (4.6%) and SG (11.1%) making up 15.7% of the total.

Applications: An understanding of the linguistic framework of instructional language in short-term training camps allows athletes to invest greater focus in their athletic performance in camp.  The results offer athletes contextual reference for preparatory language study and authentic linguistic insight for the counter of potential target language anxiety.

Novelty/Originality: Results indicate that top-level coaches relied significantly less on sports-specific word-type to facilitate their instruction and suggest that a general comprehension of English can provide a strong foundation for understanding top-level coaching discourse.  This provides significant insight for athletes harboring concerns for English proficiency and coach-player miscommunication.

Kegiatan pemberian layanan informasi tentang sekolah lanjutan sudah diberikan pada siswa kelas 9 di SMP Negeri 19 Kota Bekasi, namun kegiatan layanan ini hanya sebatas pemberian layanan informasi dikelas dari guru bimbingan dan konseling saja dan kurang menarik minat siswa. Perlu adanya kegiatan bervariatif yang akan menarik minat siswa dalam mempelajari dan memahami tentang sekolah lanjutan dan informasi bimbingan karir lainnya. Untuk itu peneliti mengadakan kegiatan yang bervariatif dalam pemberian layanan bimbingan karir salah satunya kegiatan career day untuk siswa kelas 9. Metode penelitian tindakan ini adalah dengan kegiatan career day dalam layanan bimbingan karir untuk meningkatkan pemahaman siswa tentang sekolah lanjutan pada siswa kelas 9.4 di SMP Negeri 19 Kota Bekasi. Dengan kegiatan career day pemahaman siswa tentang sekolah lanjutan semakin meningkat terlihat dari hasil angket pemahaman siswa tentang sekolah lanjutan yang diisi oleh siswa pada siklus 1 rata-rata hasil tes pemahaman 78,18 dan pada siklus 2 mengalami peningkatan menjadi 98,73. Siswa sangat berminat dan antusias dalam mengikuti kegiatan career day sampai dengan selesai karena siswa mendapatkan informasi dari sumbernya langsung dan dengan pemahaman yang baik tentang sekolah lanjutan melalui kegiatan career day ini siswa dapat menentukan sekolah lanjutan yang akan ditempuhnya.

Listening is often view as receptive or passive skill that hard to be measured. Nevertheless, listening is one skill that play a big role in enhancing students’ proficiency in English. Therefore, improving students’ quality in listening is important. According to Al-Musalli, there are four sub-skills involved in listening: 1) literal level, it involves three main types of skill: phonological, syntactic, and lexical skills; 2) inferential level, it related to the comprehension of the text; 3) critical level includes: making an appropriate judgment about the message, the speaker personality, and the topic, and; 4) creative level includes handling verbal and non-verbal communication strategies and responding in the proper way. All of these sub-skills can be used as the criteria to view students’ mastery level of listening. This research only applies three level as a benchmark to know students’ quality of listening, they are: literal, inferential, and critical. The objective of this research is to know the students’ quality in listening skill based on mastery level of listening. The research design is descriptive. The subjects of study are five students who meet the researcher’s criteria. Data collection technique in this research is using test of listening, interview, observation and documentation. The data is analyzed using the model of Miles and Huberman. After being collected, the data is verified using triangulation by method and another researcher. The result of this research shows that students at fourth semester of English Education Department in IAIN Samarinda located in inferential level of mastery listening skill which means their quality in listening can be categorized as good.
Additive Main Effect and Multiplicative Interaction Analysis of National Turfgrass Performance Trials: I. Interpretation of Genotype × Environment Interaction
Authors: Ebdon J. S. , Gauch H. G.
Published: September 2018

The additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) analysis has been shown to be effective in understanding complex genotype × environment (GE) interactions typical of National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) variety trials. Interactions in such complex data sets are difficult to understand with ordinary analysis of variance (ANOVA). NTEP relies on ANOVA procedures (the basis of which is an additive model that does not sub‐partition the interaction) for analysis of turf quality data. As a result, interactions have been largely ignored in turfgrass evaluation programs. The objective of this research was to target GE interactions with AMMI and NTEP data in order to understand why genotypes interact with environments. The 1990 Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) variety trials were analyzed. Interaction patterns revealed by AMMI biplots indicated Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass genotypes are narrowly adapted because no genotype has superior performance in all environments (broad adaptability). In both trials, GE interactions could be explained in biologically meaningful terms in part by cultural intensity level (mowing height and nitrogen level) and disease resistance (leaf spot or brown patch). Some NTEP locations (Ames, IA; Beltsville, MD; East Lansing, MI; and Martinsville, NJ) were highly predictable in year‐to‐year interaction with genotypes (making cultivar recommendations more predictable), other locations were less predictable (Carbondale, IL; Lexington, KY; Post Falls, ID; and North Brunswick, NJ). NTEP locations were consistent in their interaction with genotypes across species. Environments interacted with genotypes according to a cultural intensity gradient (mowing height and fertilizer nitrogen). Climatic factors were not important in explaining GE interactions. Results suggest the potential to subdivide bluegrass and ryegrass growing regions into homogenous subregions (having similar interaction patterns and cultivar recommendations) that can be altered by cultural practices.
Genetic Structure of Six Korean Tea Populations as Revealed by RAPD‐PCR Markers
Authors: Kaundun Shiv Shankhar , Park Young‐Goo
Published: September 2018

Numerous Korean tea [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] populations abandoned for more than nine centuries represent important genetic resources for future breeding of new tea types and tastes. This study was conducted to evaluate on the basis of random amplified polymorphic DNA‐polymerase chain reaction (RAPD‐PCR) markers the degree and organization of genetic diversity within and between six Korea populations and to formulate conservation strategies for tea populations in Korea. Of the 50 RAPD primers screened, 12 primers generated 25 reproducible and polymorphic bands. The genetic diversity within populations calculated from the Nei's index averaged 0.33 and was relatively lower than that found in other natural plant populations. This could be explained by the narrow genetic base of the tea samples introduced from Mainland China and considerable reduction in population size following mass destruction of tea populations in the fourteenth century. No geographical trends were observed among the tea populations following classification by unweighted pair group method and arithmetic average (UPGMA) and Nei distances and factorial correspondence analysis (FCA) carried out on individual samples. Even though highly significant differences were found among populations upon an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), a markedly higher proportion of diversity was observed within populations (84%) as compared with between populations (16%). The fact that most diversity is within populations reflects the highly outcrossing nature of tea species. In the light of these results, it is proposed that conservation efforts target whole diverse populations rather than selected individuals from different populations. Due consideration should nevertheless be given to populations comprising private or rare alleles.
