Classical Myths and American Abstract Expressionism: The Case of William Baziotes
Authors: Aguirre Mercedes
Published: March 2017

Abstract Expressionism can be seen as a valid expression of the crisis of ‘Modern Man’ and, as a result, it assumed a central role in the cultural debate of its time. Within this crisis can be situated a new form of representing the ancient myths. William Baziotes, an artist who belongs to the New York School, becomes a modern ‘myth-maker’ who creates metaphors and symbols which refer to primitive cultures and primeval worlds. If a few of his paintings allude in their title to a particular Classical myth, others, without a specific title referring to a myth, have strong affinities with mythology. Classical myths seem to be entwined with the artist’s own personal myths, interpreted through his own language and his own symbols.

Authors: Sarkar S. , Sarkar A. , Zaman A.
Published: March 2017

The experiment was carried out during 2009-10 and 2010-11 rabi seasons to find out the effect of irrigation and phosphorus doses on growth, yield and water extraction of broad bean. Crop irrigated at Y = -0.03 MPa at 30 cm soil depth showed 5.33% and 34.97% higher seed yield compared to y = -0.05 MPa at 30 cm soil depth and rainfed, respectively and was significantly superior. Treatment receiving 75 kg P2O5/ha was significantly superior with 5.33 t/ha seed yield which was 8.33% and 28.74% higher over 50 kg P2O5/ha and 25 kg P2O5/ha, respectively. Growth and yield attributing characters also followed the trend of seed yield. Irrigation applied at Y = -0.03 MPa at 30 cm soil depth markedly enhanced nodule number, net return (Rs. 32200.98 / ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.32) over other irrigation treatments. Among different P levels the highest nodule number, net return (Rs. 36834.22 / ha) and benefit cost ratio (1.32) were recorded with the application of 75 kg P2O5/ha. The study revealed that, Soil moisture extraction by the crop increased with the advancement of crop growing period and again it decreased till harvest. Moisture extraction rate increased with the increase in moisture status of the soil.

Published: March 2017

Psyllium plants were treated with different doses of lead (Pb) and different plant parts and seeds were analyzed. Iron (Fe) contents were found to be lower than the toxic level (Soil 2396.9, seeds 691.5, roots 1516.6, leaves 1384.5, husks 1226.1µmol kg-1 DW). The leaf Zn contents were above the critical level but lower than the toxic level (295.2 ± 16 µmol kg-1). Leaf manganese (Mn) and Cr levels in P. ovata plants fell within the critical range (232.6 and 0.1923 µmol kg-1 respectively). Lead in soil significantly correlated with Fe and Mn, but non-significantly with Zn and Cr in plants of P. ovata. The transfer ratios of Cr and Zn in plants without Pb treatment were lower as compared to those in plants treated with varying levels of Pb. P. ovata can grow in soils having lead concentration up to 4000 µmol and act as a hyper accumulator of lead.
Stability by additive main multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model and genetic diversity studies in micro and macro-sperma Lentil (Lens culinaris L.) in mid hills of Jammu and Kashmir, India
Authors: Kumar Sanjeev , Singh Praveen
Published: March 2017

The present investigation was aimed at ascertaining the nature and magnitude of genetic diversity among a set of 12 lentil genotypes through Mahalanobis D2 Method. The genotypes under study fall into four clusters. The cluster-I contained the highest number of genotypes (05) followed by cluster-III (03) and Cluster-II and IV each contained the lowest (02). Cluster-II produced the highest mean value for days to maturity and cluster-I exhibited minimum mean value for pod length (0.64). The inter-cluster distances were much higher than the intra-cluster distances. Members of cluster -III and IV were highly diverse from each other as these clusters showed maximum inter-cluster distance. Cluster-IV exhibited the highest intra-cluster distance while the lowest distance was observed in cluster-I. The highest inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster-III and IV while the lowest was between cluster-I and III. The trait pod length (33.33%) contributed maximum for genetic diversity followed by seed yield /plant (27.27%), 100 seed weight (21.21%) and days to maturity (10.61%). Therefore these characters contributed maximum for getting the genetic diversity.

Authors: Angelo Michele Fúlvia , Escarpinati Maurício Cunha , Santos José Amancio Macedo , Pereira Netto Ezequiel Oliveira , Souza Luiz Bernardo Souza e , Souza Daniela Vieira
Published: March 2017

Este artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento de um framework que contém funções para implementar as análises cefalométricas mais usadas em clínicas de radiologia odontológica. O objetivo deste framework é receber como parâmetros de entrada as coordenadas dos pontos cefalométricos, a imagem radiográfica e a análise cefalométrica escolhida. E, após processar estes dados, calcular a distância, ângulos e bissetrizes, e gerar um relatório contendo todas essas medidas e desenhar o traçado cefalométrico correspondente. Utilizando o framework foram implementadas treze Análises Cefalométricas no Odontoradiosis: Steiner, Downs, Wylie, Tweed, Harvold, McNamara, USP-Unicamp, Ricketts, Resumida de Ricketts, Jarabak, Unesp/Araraquara, USP e Unicamp. Todas as regras de cada análise cefalométrica foram implementadas, sempre com o auxílio de especialistas da área de odontologia. Em seguida, as análises de McNamara e de Tweed foram validadas. Esta validação se deu através da realização das análises, de forma manual, e através da ferramenta Odontoradiosis por um especialista da área de odontologia. Em seguida, foram feitas as comparações dos resultados obtidos através da marcação manual e através do software. Para esta validação foram utilizadas cinco radiografias e através da análise dos resultados pôde-se verificar resultados discrepantes para alguns valores das duas análises validadas quando comparados os dados da marcação manual em relação a marcação realizada pelo software. Assim, pôde-se concluir que todas as análises cefalométricas implementadas necessitam passar por uma validação com o auxílio de um especialista da área de odontologia, e que a partir das regras das treze Análises Cefalométricas já implementadas no framework, a inserção de novas análises será facilitada, pois mesmo que uma análise cefalométrica possua alguma característica diferente, será necessária a codificação apenas desta particularidade no framework como uma nova regra.

Authors: Noriko Cimino Ana Paula , Da Cunha Cavalcanti de Siqueira Danielle de Fátima
Published: March 2017

A inserção dos psicólogos na Saúde Pública foi estimulada a partir da Reforma Sanitária Brasileira. No entanto a formação em Psicologia, ao privilegiar um modelo de clínica tradicional, desconsidera as especificidades da prática nesse âmbito. Tal contexto justifica a presente pesquisa, que buscou cartografar a prática dos psicólogos nas Policlínicas Municipais do Recife. A metodologia utilizada funda-se em um enfoque qualitativo de cunho fenomenológico. Os dados foram colhidos via narrativas e interpretados através do método proposto por Giorgi. As conclusões apontam para a necessidade de desenvolver uma atitude clínica ético-política vinculada às dimensões histórico-culturais e socioeconômicas da população. Assinala para a necessidade de se repensar a formação acadêmica dos psicólogos, privilegiando modalidades de prática psicológica que possam acolher a demanda de sofrimento dos usuários, privilegiando uma maior articulação com o social.

Melatonin Scavenger Properties against Oxidative and Nitrosative Stress: Impact on In Vitro Embryo Production in Mammals
Authors: Loren Pía , Sánchez Raúl , Arias María-Elena , Felmer Ricardo , Risopatrón Jennie , Cheuquemán Carolina
Published: March 2017

Oxidative and nitrosative stress are a common problem when manipulating gametes in vitro. In vitro development in mammalian embryos is highly affected by culture conditions, especially by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), because its absence or over production causes embryo arrest and changes in gene expression. Melatonin in gamete co-incubation during IVF has deleterious or positive effects depending on the concentration used in culture medium, demonstrating the delicate balance that must exist between antioxidant and pro-oxidant activity. Further research is needed to better understand the possible impact of melatonin on the different IVP steps in domestic animals, especially in seasonal breeds where this neuro-hormone system highly regulates its reproduction physiology.
An Entropy-based Approach for Evaluating Travel Time Predictability Based on Vehicle Trajectory Data
Authors: Xu Tao , Li Xiang
Published: March 2017

With the great development of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), travel time prediction has attracted the attentions of many researchers and a large number of prediction methods have been developed. However, as an unavoidable topic, the predictability of travel time series is the basic premise for travel time prediction has received less attention than the methodology. Based on the analysis of the complexity of travel time series, this paper defines travel time predictability to express the probability of correct travel time prediction and proposes an entropy-based method to measure the upper bound of travel time predictability. Multiscale entropy is employed to quantify the complexity of travel time series, and the relationships between entropy and the upper bound of travel time predictability are presented. Empirical studies are made with vehicle trajectory data in an express road section. The effectiveness of time scales, tolerance, and series length to entropy and travel time predictability are analysis, and some valuable suggestions about the accuracy of travel time predictability are discussed. Finally, the comparisons between travel time predictability and actual prediction results from two prediction models, ARIMA and BPNN, are conducted. Experimental results demonstrate the validity and reliability of the proposed travel time predictability.

Navigation and Robotics in Total Hip Arthroplasty
Authors: Wasterlain Amy S. , Buza John A. , Thakkar Savyasachi C. , Schwarzkopf Ran , Vigdorchik Jonathan
Published: March 2017

➢ Navigation provides information about patient anatomy and the relative positioning of the implants to guide the surgeon.

➢ Some systems use a robotic arm that assists with specific parts of the procedure on the basis of anatomical information provided to the navigation system. Currently, all total hip arthroplasty robotic systems require preoperative imaging.

➢ Imageless systems rely only on intraoperative landmarks identified by the surgeon and provide feedback about limb alignment and component positioning.

➢ The primary benefits of navigation are a reduction in outliers during acetabular cup positioning and improved accuracy when quantifying limb-length and offset measurements. It remains to be seen whether these benefits translate into meaningful improvements in clinical outcomes.

A képzettség és a foglalkozás közötti kongruencia/inkongruencia a hazai és nemzetközi kutatási eredmények tükrében
Authors: Zerényi Károly
Published: March 2017

Az elmúlt években számos hazai és nemzetközi kutatásban vizsgálták a képzettség és a foglalkozás közötti illeszkedést a végzettségi szint és a szakirányú végzettség figyelembevételével. A vertikális és horizontális kongruenciát/ inkongruenciát vizsgáló kutatások a populáció nagyságát tekintve két csoportra oszthatók. Az egyik csoportba tartoznak azok a kutatások, amelyek az összes képzettségi szinten végzettek foglalkoztatását vizsgálták, míg a másik csoportot kifejezetten a felsőoktatásban végzettek elhelyezkedését vizsgáló kutatások alkotják. A kutatási eredmények alapján a legtöbb európai országban gyakori jelenség az inkongruens elhelyezkedés vertikálisan és horizontálisan egyaránt. Ugyanakkor problémát a valódi inkongruencia jelenthet, amikor a munkavállalók nem tudják hasznosítani képességeiket. Talán olyan képzési programokra van szükség, amelyek a speciális tudás mellett kielégíthetik az inkongruenciához kapcsolódó transzfertudás iránti munkaerőpiaci igényeket is.

A novel tread model for tire modelling using experimental modal parameters
Authors: Wang Zhen-feng , Dong Ming-ming , Zhao Wei-peng , Gu Liang
Published: March 2017

Modal parameter model acts as an analytical model of tire, because it can represent the entire tire characteristics, when applied to the tire modelling. However, without considering the effect of transfer characteristics of adjacent tread spring elements, the accuracy of modal parameter model may be limited in previous studies. Based on contact mechanics and the modal parameter model, a novel tread model is proposed considering tread transfer characteristics, and then a modified model using the modal parameters was obtained using the novel tread model. The effects of tire external characteristics were analyzed by modifying the modal parameter static vertical model. Finally, the experimental and calculated data were compared, the proposed tread model improved the accuracy of calculation. The results show that the tread transfer characteristics significantly affect contact length, i.e., by improving the predictive accuracy by 50 %, and the effect on improving the squat of tire can be ignored. The developed model may help to optimize tire modelling.

A large deformation from liquefaction in saturated subgrade may lead to the instability of slope and the damage of the reinforcement measures. Firstly, in order to evaluate the damage mechanism of stabilizing piles suffered from the saturated subgrade liquefaction, this paper perform a dynamic centrifuge modelling test using a kind of stabilizing concrete model pile to study the dynamic water pore pressure, landslide of slope and dynamic crack of the stabilizing pile. Secondly, the breaking damage mechanism of the stabilizing pile is discussed under the condition of a large liquefaction deformation by means of the dynamic consolidation finite element method. The study shows that the large deformation of the reinforced slope caused by the liquefaction leads to a decrease in the earth pressure in front of the stabilizing pile and an increase in the earth pressure behind the stabilizing pile. These comprehensive effects result in a significant increase in the dynamic excess bending moment of the stabilizing pile, and eventually, the total static and dynamic bending moment of the stabilizing piles exceeds the ultimate bending moment and leads to the breaking damage of the piles.

Published: March 2017

In this paper, an experiment for decoupling the dynamic behavior of the levitation chassis of maglev vehicle with four electromagnetic suspension (EMS) modules is implemented, which validated that the stable suspension of maglev vehicle can be achieved by controlling individual EMS modules. Then, a dynamic model for single EMS module is established. A PD controller is designed to control the vertical position of the maglev vehicle. Simulations illustrate that the robustness of the controller is weak against the periodic disturbance. To improve the robustness of the controller, a nonlinear control law for disturbance rejection is applied by combining with a periodic disturbance estimator with an adaptive notch filter, which is capable of compensating exogenous nonlinear periodic disturbance. Different from using the existing control laws, the structure, parameters and period of the disturbance is not required. Moreover, the controller designed in this work satisfies the requirement of unidirectional force input. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the excellent dynamic performance with the proposed robust controller.

To promote the application of self-excited oscillation pulsed water jet in various fields, various characteristics of self-excited oscillation pulsed water jet were studied experimentally. A test system of self-excited oscillation pulsed water jet characteristics was designed, and it is composed of pulsed jet producer devices, particle image velocity (PIV) measuring system, pressure pulse test device and the confining pressure cavity suitable for a PIV test. The characteristics of flow field, pressure oscillation, pulsed cavitation and acoustic shock of pulsed jet were researched. The results showed that the axis velocity vector at nozzle outlet changes periodically, and gradually becomes smaller away from the nozzle. The peak pressure of self-excited oscillation pulsed water jet is 2.5 times higher than the common continuous jet. The wave crest and the wave trough of pulsed jet are not completely symmetric. As the pump pressure increases, the length of bubble cloud increases, and it first increases and then decreases with confining pressure increasing. The vibration acceleration of sonic boom increases and then decreases as pump pressure increases, and decreases steadily with confining pressure increasing.

Published: March 2017

Influenza viruses are among the most important respiratory pathogens in pigs and humans. They cause seasonal epidemics in pigs and occasional pandemics in humans. Herbal remedies have been regarded as suitable elements to aid in controlling influenza. This study was carried out to analyse the effects of the in-feed administration of glycyrrhizic acid, the best-known component of liquorice (as Viusid-Vet® powder), in pigs suffering an outbreak of influenza. Eighty crossbred Duroc-Landrace pigs, one day post-weaning (22 days old), were included in this trial. Piglets were randomly divided into the following two groups: those treated with glycyrrhizic acid and an untreated control group. Serological measurements to assess viral load and humoral responses were carried out. Blood samples from pigs were obtained every fortnight, starting on week two and ending on week 15. With these samples, haemagglutination inhibition (HI) tests were performed, using A/swine/New Jersey/11/76 (H1N1) and A/swine/Minnesota/9088-2/98 (H3N2) as reference viruses. Quantitative RT-PCR tests against the M gene of the influenza virus were also performed to assess viral shedding from nasal swab samples on weeks 1 to 8 after the beginning of the trial. Weight variables were assessed weekly for 18 weeks. In the HI tests, treated animals showed fewer positive responses compared to the control group for H1N1 and H3N2. However, a positive response to viral protection, as assessed by HI tests, was regarded as not conclusive of humoral immune stimulation. qRT-PCR tests for viral spread exhibited a lower rate of excretion for the treated group compared to the untreated one. Hence, it appears that glycyrrhizic acid stimulates, to some extent, immune responses against pig influenza as measured by viral shedding. For mean body weight, the generalized estimating equations show a higher weight gain for pigs treated with glycyrrhizic acid than the control group (P = 0.0001). These effects may assist producers in addressing the aftermath of an influenza outbreak.Figure 1. Results of RT-PCR viral shedding test against the M gene. (Likelihood χ21,7 = 19.2 P = 0.0001).
