Comportamiento elástico de la madera de Acer rubrum y de Abies balsamea
Authors: Hernández-Maldonado Saúl Antonio , Sotomayor-Castellanos Javier Ramón
Published: January 2017

El diseño de productos con alto valor agregado y el cálculo de estructuras en madera requieren de características elásticas confiables y relacionadas con un modelo teórico el cual explique de manera racional el comportamiento elástico de la madera. Se presentan la metodología y los resultados de la determinación experimental de las características elásticas de dos maderas canadienses: Acer rubrum y Abies balsamea. Las características examinadas fueron: módulos de elasticidad, módulos de rigidez y coeficientes de Poisson. Se realizaron experimentos de compresión, en el dominio elástico, de las direcciones de ortotropía de la madera: radial, tangencial y longitudinal. El contenido de humedad fue de 9% para A. rubrum y de 10% para A. balsamea. Las densidades de las maderas fueron de 651 kg/m3 y 393 kg/m3 respectivamente. A partir de las características obtenidas empíricamente, se analizaron las propiedades y las relaciones de ortotropía de la matriz de constantes elásticas del modelo elástico general. Los valores experimentales de las características elásticas de las maderas de A. rubrum y de A. balsamea, son comparables con valores correspondientes a estas maderas determinados en otros estudios. Igualmente, se demostró que los postulados de ortotropía del modelo elástico general son –con cierto nivel de confianza– válidos.
Identification of Medicinal Plants in Homam: a religious practice
Authors: Kannathasan K , Thangamani A.
Published: January 2017

In India, Homam is an important religious practice. The consecrated fire is the central element of the ritual homa. It is offered in many hindu temples in early morning before dawn. Apart from the temples, many hindus offer this practice during their home ceremonies also. The most beneficial factor of these homas, is that smoke not only purifies the atmosphere but also helps us to get rid of many diseases. In this paper, the local and scientific name, plant parts used in the Homam were identified and presented. Different plant parts like leaf, aerial root, fruit, seed, bark, root, flower, wood, tuber, rhizome and pericarp of fruits have been used in the practice. Some highly useful medicinal plants listed are Justicia adhatoda, Withania somnifera, Phyllanthus emblica, Tinospora cordifolia, Andrographis paniculata, Strychnos nux-vomica, Pongamia pinnata, Ficus benghalensis, Chrysopogon zizanioides and Curcuma aromatica.
Induction of drought stress tolerance by Propiconazole and Salicylic acid in Sorghum bicolor is mediated by enhanced osmoregulation, compatible solutes and biochemical accumulation
Authors: Arivalagan Maruthaiya , Somasundaram Ramamurthy
Published: January 2017

A pot-culture experiment was carried out to estimate the ameliorating effect of Propiconazole (PCZ) and Salicylic acid (SA) on drought stressed Sorghum bicolor. The plants were subjected to 3, 6 and 9 Day Interval Drought (DID) and drought with PCZ 1 mM and SA 1 mM alone from 30, 40 and 50 Days After Sowing (DAS). One day interval irrigation was kept as control. The plant samples were collected on 60, 70 and 80 DAS then separated into root and shoots for estimate the protein, proline, amino acid (AA), glycine betaine (GB) and total sugar content. Drought stress inhibited protein content then the proline, AA, GB and total sugar contents were increased when compared to control. Plants were treated drought with PCZ and SA these parameters to a larger extent when compared to drought stressed plants. The PCZ and SA treatments increased the protein content, but decreased the proline, AA, GB and total sugar contents when compared to drought stressed plants. From the results of this investigation, it can be concluded that the application of PCZ and SA caused a partial amelioration of the adverse effects of drought stress in sorghum plants.

Thermodynamic investigation of liquid properties of the Ni–Sn–Ti ternary system using CALPHAD method and geometric models
Authors: Gandova Vanya
Published: January 2017

Predictions for the liquid Ni–Sn–Ti alloys thermodynamic properties (molar excess Gibbs energy) are presented. The calculations were performed in the temperature range 1000–2000 K.  Geometric models (using data from the binary end-systems) were used and the respective calculated molar excess Gibbs energy values were compared to CALPHAD method assessments. The concentration dependences of the liquid phase thermodynamic properties along different vertical sections Sn:Ti, Ni:Ti and Ni:Sn were estimated.Ternary interaction parameters (L0, L1 and L2) of the liquid phase were determined using General solution (geometric) model from thermodynamic data of the binary end–systems (Ni–Sn, Ni–Ti, Sn–Ti).  Ternary parameters exhibit values: L0 = - 70360.5 - 0.263*T; L1 = -113023 - 11.574*T; L2 = - 131755 - 17.101*T. Negative molar excess Gibbs energies were obtained by all models.

Elencar-se-ão, em foco, os preceitos consubstanciados na Constituição Federal, no Código Civil, no Código de Processo Civil de 1973 e os preceitos correspondentes no NCPC (Lei nº 13.105/2015), que abarcam o tema em pauta. Assim, a partir do estudo de casos concretos, da legislação, da jurisprudência pátria, da doutrina especializada, e de publicações em periódicos, será verificada a colisão entre direitos fundamentais, quais sejam, os direitos à imagem, à honra, à privacidade e à intimidade, a liberdade de expressão e os direitos de acesso à cultura e à informação, a fim de se constatar, com base no princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, a legalidade e efetividade da tutela em comento para garantia e prevenção de direitos personalíssimos na contemporaneidade.
A Inaplicabilidade do Marco Civil da Internet pelos Tribunais Federais: Análise de Julgados Envolvendo Tutela do Princípio da Privacidade dos Usuários da Rede
Authors: Barros Bruno Mello Corrêa de , Barros Clarissa Teresinha Lovatto
Published: January 2017

O presente artigo buscou demonstrar a inaplicabilidade do arcabouço legal do Marco Civil da Internet (MCI) nas decisões dos Tribunais Federais do país no tocante às demandas, envolvendo a proteção do direito à privacidade dos usuários da rede. Apontou-se para a necessidade de interpretação ampla do direito à privacidade, evidenciando aspectos desse direito fundamental a partir de doutrinadores constitucionalistas. Adotou-se o entendimento de Pérez Luño de transposição da percepção que separa imagem, honra, intimidade e privacidade, tendo em vista a aceleração provocada pela inovação tecnológica e científica que permeia a sociedade informacional. Utilizou-se o método de abordagem dedutivo, efetuando revisão e análise bibliográfica com o intuito de refletir criticamente sobre o princípio da privacidade. Para tanto, empregou-se a ferramenta de pesquisa de jurisprudência nos sites dos Tribunais Regionais Federais, colocando a expressão Marco Civil da Internet. Constatou-se a reduzida utilização de parâmetros do MCI nas decisões dos Tribunais Federais, mas, de qualquer forma, não se pode desprezar o aspecto progressivo da legislação ao assegurar garantias para tutela do direito à privacidade na Internet.

Do Estado Liberal ao Estado Social e Democrático de Direito: Análise do Surgimento do Ativismo Judicial
Authors: Cunha Alexandre Luna da , Brasil Paula Zambelli Salgado
Published: January 2017

Este artigo analisará a relação entre o Poder Judiciário e a efetivação dos direitos sociais e, por consequência, o propalado ativismo judicial. Mais especificamente, o artigo responderá à seguinte indagação: como o papel do Poder Judiciário se modificou com o desenvolvimento dos modelos de Estado? O artigo desenvolverá seu problema analisando a função do Poder Judiciário em cada um destes modelos de Estado de Direito: o Liberal, o Social (em que pese tal Estado não ter sido cabalmente implementado no Brasil) e o Democrático. Para tanto, levará em conta a relação entre os poderes republicamos instituídos, a movimentação social pela conquista de direitos e a positivação de uma nova geração de direitos. O ativismo Judicial será analisado como consequência prática de um novo constitucionalismo, mais pautado na efetivação de direitos sociais delineados nos textos constitucionais de cunho democrático.
A Legitmidade da Jurisdição Constitucional a Partir de Sua Utilidade no Estado Democrático de Direito: Três Questões Fundamentais
Authors: Marques Dorli João Carlos , Soares Lúcia Dídia Lima
Published: January 2017

Em um Estado pautado pela democracia e pela busca da eficácia dos direitos fundamentais a jurisdição constitucional surge como instituição assecuratória da efetividade da Constituição. Entretanto, quando se analisa o poder judicante constitucional situando-o no nível das tensões entre os poderes e do exercício democrático de participação popular, é possível que sua função recrudesça face às questões oriundas de seus aspectos político-democráticos, de legitimação e de finalidade-limite. O presente artigo analisa três questões referentes à jurisdição constitucional, quais sejam, seu grau democrático, sua legitimidade e o limite de seu exercício, a partir de sua utilidade como corolário da estrutura do Estado atual. Para tal, foi utilizado o paradigma do Estado Constitucional Democrático de Direito, tomando como base doutrinária o princípio da legitimidade e os pontos de aproximação e afastamento entre Direito e Política em uma perspectiva constitucional. Concluiu-se pela necessidade do diálogo entre o estudo da jurisdição constitucional e sua utilidade no Estado Democrático de Direito.

A implantação do processo eletrônico no Brasil foi feita para ser um meio de minimizar a lentidão na tramitação dos processos. Criada a primeira barreira de desigualdade, pois não houve a adequação do sistema aos portadores de necessidades especiais. O Código de Processo Civil preconiza o tratamento isonômico ao impor ao Poder Judiciário o dever objetivo de acesso, distribuindo o encargo de instalação de salas de atendimento com suporte técnico e de pessoal a jurisdicionados, portadores de deficiência e idosos. Na falta do espaço físico, autoriza a lei a prática por meio físico, criando desequilíbrio na paridade de armas processual.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a well-recognized independent risk factor for heart failure. T2DM is associated with altered cardiac energy metabolism, leading to ectopic lipid accumulation and glucose overload, the exact contribution of these two parameters remaining unclear. To provide new insight into the mechanism driving the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy, we studied a unique model of T2DM: lipodystrophic Bscl2−/− (seipin knockout [SKO]) mice. Echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular dysfunction in SKO mice, and these two abnormalities were strongly correlated with hyperglycemia. Surprisingly, neither intramyocardial lipid accumulation nor lipotoxic hallmarks were detected in SKO mice. [18F]Fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography showed increased myocardial glucose uptake. Consistently, the O-GlcNAcylated protein levels were markedly increased in an SKO heart, suggesting a glucose overload. To test this hypothesis, we treated SKO mice with the hypoglycemic sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin and the insulin sensitizer pioglitazone. Both treatments reduced the O-GlcNAcylated protein levels in SKO mice, and dapagliflozin successfully prevented the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Our data demonstrate that glucotoxicity by itself can trigger cardiac dysfunction and that a glucose-lowering agent can correct it. This result will contribute to better understanding of the potential cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors.
Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing of Human Pancreatic Islets Reveals Novel Differentially Methylated Regions in Type 2 Diabetes Pathogenesis

Published: January 2017

Current knowledge about the role of epigenetics in type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains limited. Only a few studies have investigated DNA methylation of selected candidate genes or a very small fraction of genomic CpG sites in human pancreatic islets, the tissue of primary pathogenic importance for diabetes. Our aim was to characterize the whole-genome DNA methylation landscape in human pancreatic islets, to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in diabetic islets, and to investigate the function of DMRs in islet biology. Here, we performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, which is a comprehensive and unbiased method to study DNA methylation throughout the genome at a single nucleotide resolution, in pancreatic islets from donors with T2D and control subjects without diabetes. We identified 25,820 DMRs in islets from individuals with T2D. These DMRs cover loci with known islet function, e.g., PDX1, TCF7L2, and ADCY5. Importantly, binding sites previously identified by ChIP-seq for islet-specific transcription factors, enhancer regions, and different histone marks were enriched in the T2D-associated DMRs. We also identified 457 genes, including NR4A3, PARK2, PID1, SLC2A2, and SOCS2, that had both DMRs and significant expression changes in T2D islets. To mimic the situation in T2D islets, candidate genes were overexpressed or silenced in cultured β-cells. This resulted in impaired insulin secretion, thereby connecting differential methylation to islet dysfunction. We further explored the islet methylome and found a strong link between methylation levels and histone marks. Additionally, DNA methylation in different genomic regions and of different transcript types (i.e., protein coding, noncoding, and pseudogenes) was associated with islet expression levels. Our study provides a comprehensive picture of the islet DNA methylome in individuals with and without diabetes and highlights the importance of epigenetic dysregulation in pancreatic islets and T2D pathogenesis.
Nursery pig growth performance and tissue accretion modulation due to porcine epidemic diarrhea virus or porcine deltacoronavirus challenge

Published: January 2017

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) are both members of the family Coronaviridae which induce clinical signs of diarrhea, dehydration, and in some circumstances, mortality. Most research has been focused on isolation, genome sequencing, pathogenicity, and virulence of these viruses, but there is little information on long-term growth performance and tissue accretion of pigs inoculated with PEDV or PDCoV. Therefore, our objective was to determine the effect of PEDV or PDCoV infection on growth performance and tissue accretion over 42 d following inoculation. A total of 75 Choice Genetics Large White Pureline barrows and gilts (BW = 10.81 ± 0.81 kg) at approximately 2 wk post-wean and naïve for PEDV and PDCoV were selected. Pigs were allotted based on BW and sex, stratified across 3 treatments with 8 pens per treatment. Treatments were: 1) Control (n = 8); 2) PEDV inoculated (n = 8); and 3) PDCoV inoculated (n = 8). On day post inoculation (dpi) 2, 5, 7, and 14 pigs were euthanized for tissue collection and analyses from these tissues are discussed elsewhere. Pen feed intake and BW were recorded on dpi 2, 5, 7, and weekly thereafter until dpi 42. On 1 designated pig per pen, initial and final body composition was determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and tissue accretion rates were calculated over 6 wk test period. Peak PEDV infection was noted at 3 dpi compared with 4 dpi for PDCoV pigs as determined by fecal swab quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Control pigs remained negative for PEDV and PDCoV throughout the experiment. Overall, Control and PDCoV pigs did not differ in ADG, ADFI or G:F (P > 0.05). Compared to Control and PDCoV pigs, the overall 42 d ADFI was reduced in the challenged PEDV pigs (P < 0.05) by 19 and 27%, respectively. PEDV did not significantly reduce the overall ADG or G:F compared with Control and PDCoV pigs; however, the biggest reduction in ADG and ADFI for PEDV pigs was within 14 dpi compared to the Control pigs (P < 0.05). Whole body tissue accretion was altered due to PED, with fat, lean, protein, and bone mineral accretion reductions by 24, 20, 21, and 42%, respectively (P < 0.05) compared with Control pigs. Overall, nursery pig performance was greatly impacted by PEDV challenge. Surprisingly, the PDCoV challenge did not negatively influence nursery pig performance. This study provides further insight into the longitudinal impact swine enteric coronaviruses have on growing pigs.
Archaeology and Ethnographic Collections
Authors: Flexner James L.
Published: January 2017

The archaeological value of museum collections is not limited to collections labelled “archaeology.” “Ethnology” or “ethnography” collections can provide useful information for evaluating broadly relevant theoretical and methodological discussions in the discipline. The concepts of provenience (where something was found), provenance (where the materials for an object originated), and context (the ways an object is and was interpreted and used within a cultural milieu) are central to much archaeo-logical interpretation. Archaeologists have often looked to living societies as analogues for better understanding these issues. Museum ethnographic collections from Vanuatu provide a case study offering a complementary approach, in which assemblages of ethnographic objects and associated information allow us to reconstruct complex networks of movement, exchange, and entanglement.
Holistic Houses and a Sense of Place
Authors: Kahn Jennifer G.
Published: January 2017

This article discusses the process of refinding the initial location of the Bishop Museum’shale pili(Hawaiian pole and thatch house) and an archaeological investigation of the site’s surface architecture, use of space, and subsurface activities. The study touches upon themes relevant to representations of culture and place in museum exhibits, analysis of existing museum collections to holistically interpret material culture, and the history of anthropological collecting. Thehale pilirepresents a “hybrid” form, with elements of precontact Hawaiian folk housing and European concepts introduced in the postcontact period. This problematizes the notion of “traditional” when used in relation to indigenous cultures in settler societies and the practice of exhibiting unique examples of “authentic” housing in isolation. Such analyses increase our interpretive abilities for museum collections and exhibits in the long term, particularly in reunifying folk housing and other material culture with location, a sense of place, and locale.
The Meaning and Measure of Vertical Resolution in Optical Surface Topography Measurement
Authors: De Groot Peter
Published: January 2017

Vertical resolution is the most widely quoted and most frequently misunderstood performance specification for equipment that measures surface topography. Here I propose to use internationally standardized terms and definitions for measurement noise and surface topography repeatability as more meaningful quantifiers for measurement performance. A specific example is an interference microscope operating with a 100 Hz, 1 k × 1 k pixel camera, and a sinusoidal phase modulation to convert intensity data to a height map. The measurement noise is found experimentally to be 0.072 nm for a 1 s data acquisition using a surface topography repeatability test, which determines the random height-equivalent noise level for an individual pixel in the areal surface topography map. Under ideal conditions, the measured noise is equivalent to the instrument noise that may be published in a performance specification in place of the more common, but poorly defined, vertical resolution specification.

Environmental protection has become an increasing concern, which makes recycling and reclaiming highly important. In addition to governmental campaigns and promotion, enterprises should examine each perspective thoroughly in order to prevent excessive resource consumption. In this study, recycled materials, including recycled far-infrared polyester (FPET) fiber, three-dimensional crimped hollow flame-retarding (TPET) fiber, and low-melting-point polyester (LPET) fiber, are used to form nonwoven fabrics. The influence of different amounts of FPET fiber, 0–80 wt %, on the properties of nonwoven fabrics was examined. The sheath of LPET fibers can be melted as a result of hot pressing, which provides cohesion between fibers that mechanically improves the nonwoven fabrics. The tensile strength, tearing strength, air permeability, and far infrared (FIR) emissivity of the nonwoven fabrics were examined, thereby determining the optimal parameters. The test results show that the thermally treated nonwoven fabrics have better mechanical properties and FIR emissivity, compared to those of non-thermally treated nonwoven fabrics. Moreover, more FPET fibers cause the mechanical properties along the cross machine direction (CD) to decrease by 9% and that along the machine direction (MD) to decrease by 5%. In particular, all the thermally treated samples exhibit a FIR emissivity of 0.8, which is health-promoting.

Water-soluble ions such as sulfate may have great impacts on atmospheric pollution. To determine the deposition effect of PM2.5 sulfates, the major PM2.5 constituents, in the forest canopy in Beijing, China, an investigation was carried out in an urban forest, Olympic Forest Park, and a suburban forest, Jiufeng National Forest Park. We measured the vertical distributions of sulfate by using monitoring towers in the two forests at the same times in March and May 2013. Sulfate (SO42−) was predominant in all PM2.5 water-soluble inorganic ions, with a proportion >40%. The vertical concentration of SO42− increased with height, and the average sulfate concentration in Olympic Forest Park was higher than that in Jiufeng National Forest Park. Results also revealed that meteorological conditions had significant impacts on both the sulfate concentration and the deposition velocity. In winter, the deposition of SO42− through the canopy was not obvious in the two forest parks, which was quite the opposite in spring. The deposition velocity in the daytime was higher than that in the nighttime in both Olympic Forest Park (0.9 ± 1.0 cm/s vs. 0.4 ± 0.3 cm/s) and Jiufeng National Forest Park (1.3 ± 1.2 cm/s vs. 0.8 ± 0.8 cm/s). While Jiufeng National Forest Park turned out to have a higher average sulfate deposition velocity than Olympic Forest Park.

Published: January 2017

The capability of alternating current (AC) dielectrophoresis (DEP) for on-chip capture and chaining of the three species representative of freshwater phytoplankton was evaluated. The effects of the AC field intensity, frequency and duration on the chaining efficiency and chain lengths of green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. and diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana were characterized systematically. C. reinhardtii showed an increase of the chaining efficiency from 100 Hz to 500 kHz at all field intensities; C. meneghiniana presented a decrease of chaining efficiency from 100 Hz to 1 kHz followed by a significant increase from 1 kHz to 500 kHz, while Synechocystis sp. exhibited low chaining tendency at all frequencies and all field intensities. The experimentally-determined DEP response and cell alignment of each microorganism were in agreement with their effective polarizability. Mixtures of cells in equal proportion or 10-times excess of Synechocystis sp. showed important differences in terms of chaining efficiency and length of the chains compared with the results obtained when the cells were alone in suspension. While a constant degree of chaining was observed with the mixture of C. reinhardtii and C. meneghiniana, the presence of Synechocystis sp. in each mixture suppressed the formation of chains for the two other phytoplankton species. All of these results prove the potential of DEP to discriminate different phytoplankton species depending on their effective polarizability and to enable their manipulation, such as specific collection or separation in freshwater.
Teaching for Justice in a Contradictory World
Authors: Reilly George
Published: January 2017

School today is caught in the dilemma of being expected to educate young people so that they can be integrated into modern industrial society. Because of structural injustices in society, not all students have equal chances in this integration process. Education in school is also expected to impart proficiency in skills which go beyond the functional skills which a productive society needs. These softer skills can threaten the aims of modern society because they have the potential to question its underlying rationale. Young people learn these skills in their everyday lives with their peers outside of school. They form part of the cultural wealth which students bring with them to school. It is up to school to draw on this cultural wealth of students and to foster the various forms of cultural capital contained therein so that students learn not to be victims of a one-sided schooling which reproduces those injustices that pervade modern society by placing excess value on cultural assets which are favored by dominant groups in society.
Realizing a Democratic Community of Teachers: John Dewey and the Idea of a Science of Education
Authors: Frank Jeff
Published: January 2017

In this paper, I make the case that John Dewey’s philosophy of education aims to bring about a democratic community of teachers capable of creating a science of teaching. To make this case, I will do a three things. First, I will discuss Sources of a Science of Education and argue that this work is deeply connected to a work written at about the same time, Individualism Old and New. As I will show, the creation of a science of education is a complex endeavor that is premised on an ability to create a democratic community that reconstructs outmoded notions of individuality. Second, I will argue that the position put forward most directly in these later works is not a deviation from Dewey’s overall educational philosophy by offering a reading Democracy and Education. I will argue that Dewey’s thinking on a science of education is held nascent within Democracy and Education, especially in his discussion of individualism and democracy. Finally, I will assess whether and how current work in teacher education is consonant with Dewey’s philosophical project, and draw out implications for philosophers of education.
Gravity-Driven Adaptive Evolution of an Industrial Brewer’s Yeast Strain towards a Snowflake Phenotype in a 3D-Printed Mini Tower Fermentor
Authors: Conjaerts Andreas , Willaert Ronnie
Published: January 2017

We designed a mini tower fermentor that is suitable to perform adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) with gravity imposed as selective pressure, and suitable to evolve a weak flocculating industrial brewers’ strain towards a strain with a more extended aggregation phenotype. This phenotype is of particular interest in the brewing industry, since it simplifies yeast removal at the end of the fermentation, and many industrial strains are still not sufficiently flocculent. The flow of particles (yeast cells and flocs) was simulated, and the theoretical retainment advantage of aggregating cells over single cells in the tower fermentor was demonstrated. A desktop stereolithography (SLA) printer was used to construct the mini reactor from transparent methacrylic acid esters resin. The printed structures were biocompatible for yeast growth, and could be sterilised by autoclaving. The flexibility of 3D printing allowed the design to be optimized quickly. During the ALE experiment, yeast flocs were observed within two weeks after the start of the continuous cultivation. The flocs showed a “snowflake” morphology, and were not the result of flocculin interactions, but probably the result of (a) mutation(s) in gene(s) that are involved in the mother/daughter separation process.

Published: January 2017

An analysis of 2D subsonic flow over an NACA 0015 airfoil with a 30% trailing edge flap at a constant Reynolds number of 106 for various incidence angles and a range of flap deflections is presented. The steady-state governing equations of continuity and momentum conservation are solved combined with the realizable k-ε turbulence model using the ANSYS-Fluent code (Version 13.7, ANSYS, Inc., Canonsburg, PA, USA). The primary objective of the study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of flow characteristics around the NACA 0015 airfoil as a function of the angle of attack and flap deflection at Re = 106 using the realizable k-ε turbulence model. The results are validated through comparison of the predictions with the free field experimental measurements. Consistent with the experimental observations, the numerical results show that increased flap deflections increase the maximum lift coefficient, move the zero-lift angle of attack (AoA) to a more negative value, decrease the stall AoA, while the slope of the lift curve remains unchanged and the curve just shifts upwards. In addition, the numerical simulations provide limits for lift increment Δ C l and Cl, max values to be 1.1 and 2.2, respectively, obtained at a flap deflection of 50°. This investigation demonstrates that the realizable k-ε turbulence model is capable of predicting flow features over an airfoil with and without flap deflections with reasonable accuracy.

Poor mental health has become a serious social and public health-care burden. This cross-sectional study used multistage stratified cluster random sampling to gather mental health information from 11,891 adults (18–60 years) employed in various occupations categorized according to the Chinese Standard Occupational Classification. Mental health was measured by the General Health Questionnaire, and participants exceeding the cut-off score were defined as having poor mental health. The overall prevalence of poor mental health was 23.8%. The prevalence of poor mental health was significantly higher in the Han ethnic group than Kazak ethnic group and in health-care workers, teachers, and civil servants compared to manual workers. Females (odds ratios (OR) = 1.139, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.012–3.198) and knowledge workers (1.697, 1.097–2.962) were risk factors for poor mental health, while Kazak ethnicity (0.465, 0.466–0.937), other minority status (non-Han) (0.806, 0.205–0.987), and working ≥15 years in the same occupation (0.832, 0.532–0.932) were protective (p < 0.05). We concluded that the general level of mental health in Xinjiang, China, is higher in the Kazak ethnic group than the Han ethnic group. The prevalence of poor mental health is higher among knowledge workers than in manual workers due to high incidences of poor mental health in civil servants, health-care workers, and teachers.
