Comparison of Three Intelligent Techniques for Runoff Simulation
Authors: H. Kashani Mahsa , Soltangeys Reza
Published: June 2018

In this study, performance of a feedback neural network, Elman, is evaluated for runoff simulation. The model ability is compared with two other intelligent models namely, standalone feedforward Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network model and hybrid Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model. In this case, daily runoff data during monsoon period in a catchment located at south India were collected. Three statistical criteria, correlation coefficient, coefficient of efficiency and the difference of slope of a best-fit line from observed-estimated scatter plots to 1:1 line, were applied for comparing the performances of the models. The results showed that ANFIS technique provided significant improvement as compared to Elman and MLP models. ANFIS could be an efficient alternative to artificial neural networks, a computationally intensive method, for runoff predictions providing at least comparable accuracy. Comparing two neural networks indicated that, unexpectedly, Elman technique has high ability than MLP, which is a powerful model in simulation of hydrological processes, in runoff modeling.

Authors: Nejati Amin , Ravanshadnia Mehdi , Sadeh Ehsan
Published: June 2018

A gigantic evolution has been brought about in the railway transportation by the emergence of the expressways as the most efficient method of carrying passengers within short and medium interurban distances. Various types of expressway pavements have been offered during the recent years. A considerable amount of the repair and maintenance costs in railroad sector is allocated to the constituents forming the pavements. No thorough and precise research has been so far conducted on the railroad expressways featuring traffics with speeds over 250 km/h and the extant information have merely been trivial changes in the procedures existent for speeds below 200 km/h and these are not deemed of much use and applicability. Thus, the current research paper is devoted to the investigation and selection of express railways pavement system design using VIKOR method. The evaluations indicate that the commencement of the first high-speed train work in 1964 in Japan marked a turning point in the railroad passenger transportation in the world. The development of the high-speed railway transportation is enumerated as an important revolution helping the railroads retake their crucial role in passenger transportation in such a way that it is found overtaking the roadway and aerial transportation and even exposing some airlines to real crisis. The high-speed railroad is undergoing an intensive expansion worldwide and as a safe, sound and sustainable transportation system, it has well proved its role in the social and economic development of the nations.

Authors: Mohammadi Bidsardareh Iman , Mohammadi Mohammad
Published: June 2018

In Iran Concrete Code (ABA), the criteria for calculation of standard deviation (s) are comprehensive and holistic. However, if it would be determined separately for each geographical area, significant changes could occur due to the use of concrete as one of the common materials. This paper analyses the criteria and redefines the acceptance standards for concrete compressive strength in ABA using experimental data available in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad and Fars provinces. The main hypothesis of the study is that using the statistical analysis of the test specimens for three categories C21, C30 and C35 in various projects located in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad and Fars provinces, extracting standard deviations, mean and the compressive strength of the specimens and their comparison with ABA proposed relationships and values, it is possible to propose new amendments for these areas in line with economic savings in national and international projects. In this study using the quantitative Strategy, library - Internet studies, field studies and in cooperation with the concrete labs, required information for 4878 concrete specimens was collected from the above-mentioned areas. By analysing the acceptance regulations for the specimens based on ABA and comparing the standard deviation of these data with the formulas of the regulations, significant results were obtained for the standard deviation factor correction and finally some formulas were suggested for the acceptance of the concrete specimens.

Authors: Zamanisabzi Hamed , King James Phillip , Dilekli Naci , Shoghli Bahareh , Abudu Shalamu
Published: June 2018

This study illustrates the benefits of data pre-processing through supervised data-mining techniques and utilizing those processed data in an artificial neural networks (ANNs) for streamflow prediction. Two major categories of physical parameters such as snowpack data and time-dependent trend indices were utilized as predictors of streamflow values.  Correlation analysis of different models indicate that, for the period of January to June, using fewer predictors led to simpler modeling with equivalent accuracy on daily prediction models. This did not hold in all periods. For monthly prediction models, accuracy was improved compared to earlier works done to predict monthly streamflow for the same case of Elephant Butte Reservoir (EB), NM. Overall, superior prediction performance was achieved by utilizing data-mining techniques for pre-processing historical data, extracting the most effective predictors, correlation analysis, extracting and utilizing combined climate variability indices, physical indices, and employing several developed ANNs for different prediction periods of the year.
Evaluate the use of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in the Construction of Roller Compacted Concret Pavement (RCC)
Authors: Divandary Hasan , Bashkoul Yaser
Published: June 2018

One of the issues and problems of today's world is the massive amount of debris and trashes, especially asphalts resulting from the removal of worn-out pavements of urban roads. Recycled asphalt crumbs (RAP) are waste materials that certainly have significant undesirable effects on the surrounding environment. Given the properties reported by these materials, there are various ways to reuse these materials. One of the applications that has been considered by researchers is the use of these materials in cement mixtures, including concrete production. This is while a large amount of asphalt fragment is continuously produced in the repair and maintenance of roads. It is therefore desirable to be used in conventional mixtures used in construction of road pavements. In this regard, the present study investigates the use of recyclable asphalt materials in pavement roller shuttle (RCC) with the aim of reducing waste and its negative impacts on the environment. By examining the documentation and performing numerous experiments, it has been found that roller concrete made from recycled asphalt can be used as a suitable pavement for low traffic and rural roads, as well as for the final covering of a wide range of sidewalks.

In this research, maximizing use of the available materials and minimizing the transportation work as an execution order have been under focus of attention.  Also through performing various tests, the  possibility of recycling, stabilizing and implementing these materials at underlying layers of Sharestan Razavi Blvd has been evaluated and the results are presented.
A Quantitative Model of the Urban Rail Congestion Propagation under Oversaturated Conditions
Authors: Zeng Ziling , Li Taixun
Published: June 2018

Simulating the congestion propagation of urban rail transit system is challenging, especially under oversaturated conditions. This paper proposes a quantitative model for capturing the congestion prorogation process through formalizing the propagation by a congestion susceptibility recovery process. Apart from that, a model for calculating congestion propagation rate is constructed, which is the key parameter in the former quantitative model. A grey system model is also introduced to quantify the propagation rate under the joint effect of six influential factors: passenger flow, train headway, passenger transfer convenience, time of congestion occurring, initial congested station and station capacity. A numerical example is used to illustrate the congestion propagation process and to demonstrate the improvements after taking corresponding measures.

Determination of Six Priority Phthalates and Di(Ethylhexyl) Adipate in Maize Tortilla by Gas Chromatography - Tandem Mass Spectrometry in Multiple Reaction Monitoring Mode
Authors: Garcia Lara Bianey , Enciso Donis Israel , Wrobel Katarzyna , Wrobel Kazimierz
Published: June 2018

The term “phthalates” refers to a group of esters of benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, widely used as plasticizers therefore ubiquitous in food and in the environment. Several phthalates have been cataloged as endocrine disruptors and that is why there is a strong demand for their reliable determination, especially in food matrices.  In the present work, gas chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) procedure is proposed for the determination of six priority phthalates (dimethyl phthalate DMP, diethyl phthalate DEP, di(n-butyl) phthalate DBP, benzyl butyl phthalate BBP, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate DEHP, di(n-octyl) phthalate DnOP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate DEHA, in maize tortillas and flour. Fresh tortilla sample was homogenized with acetonitrile/water (1:1) and after salting out (NaCl), hexane extract was obtained and dried by addition of Na2SO4 anhydride. Finally, solvent was evaporated and the residue was reconstituted in isooctane for the injection to GC-MS/MS system; a model SCION GC-TQMS from Bruker Daltonics was used for the analysis. Quantification was carried out by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) with the following time segments and m/z values of the precursor/product ion transitions: 0-7.90 min, 163/133 DMP; 7.47-8.53min, 149/121 DEP; 8.53-9.93 min, 149/121 DBP; 9.93-12.39 min, 149/93 BBP; 11.40-12.44 min, 129/111 DEHA; 12.20-13.22 min, 149/121 DEHP; 13.13-14.20 min, 149/121 DnOP. The evaluated method detection limits for seven compounds were in the range 0.11-1.84 µg kg-1 (tortilla dry mass). The results obtained for fifteen tortilla samples purchased in Guanajuato state were as follows: 71.6-420 µg kg-1 DEHP > not detected (nd)-274 µg kg-1 DBP > nd-197 µg kg-1 DEHA > nd-73.2 µg kg-1 DEP > nd-10.6 µg kg-1 DnOP. It was observed that prolonged storage and elevated temperature favored the accumulation of phthalates in tortillas.
Scales of selection and perception: landscape heterogeneity of an important food resource influences habitat use by a large omnivore
Authors: Denny Catherine K. , Stenhouse Gordon B. , Nielsen Scott E.
Published: June 2018

Variation in food abundance and distribution influences animal foraging behavior, but response is contingent on the amount of resource heterogeneity detected, which is consistent with environmental ‘grain’ size. Large mammals presumably perceive their surroundings at broad spatial scales, but the importance of landscape‐level food resource properties for habitat use is generally less understood. We evaluated the role of heterogeneity of Canada buffaloberryShepherdiacanadensis,defined by fruit distribution and variability in patch quality (fruit density), in grizzly bearUrsus arctoshabitat selection by comparing patch‐ and landscape‐level foraging strategies (resource use). Our objectives were to: 1) identify the spatial scale at which grizzly bears select buffaloberry fruit resources; 2) determine whether patch‐ or landscape‐level foraging strategies explain resource use; and 3) assess the importance of resource heterogeneity in structuring habitat selection. Buffaloberry patch and landscape variables were combined with GPS radio‐telemetry data from eight collared grizzly bears in west‐central Alberta, Canada, to fit resource selection functions (RSFs). We found that a spatial scale of 1887 m, corresponding to an average travel distance for bears over 5.5 h, was the most supported scale for buffaloberry use. Landscape‐level foraging strategies generally had more support than those of the patch‐level, with spatial heterogeneity of buffaloberry patches best explaining grizzly bear selection for fruit resources. Bears selected for areas with a wider distribution of buffaloberry fruit and greater variability in patch quality, thus providing both a higher probability of shrub encounter and greater contrast between resource patches. A negative interaction between distribution and variability, however, indicated a tradeoff where use of areas with a more widespread fruit distribution decreased when variability in resource quality was high. These results demonstrate the influence of food resource heterogeneity on animal habitat use and emphasize the value in considering spatial scale in studies of animal—resource interactions.

MEGA SPOR ORGANİZASYONLARININ EKONOMİK ETKİLERİNİN TÜRKİYE AÇISINDAN AVANTAJ ve DEZAVANTAJLARI
Authors: TEREKLİ Mustafa Serdar , ÇOBANOĞLU Halil Orbay
Published: June 2018

Spor bir ülkenin sosyo-ekonomik
kalkınmasının önemli bir unsurudur. Spor günümüzde toplumlarda var olan sosyal,
politik ve ekonomik koşullar altında birbirleriyle etkileşim içinde olan
insanlar tarafından oluşturulan sosyal dünyanın bir yönü olarak kabul
edilmektedir. Mega spor organizasyonlarının yürütülmesi altyapıyı geliştirmeye
yardımcı olur, istihdam yaratır, yabancı sermayenin güvenli girişini sağlar,
yeni sporcular yaratır ve ülkenin ekonomik gelişimine önemli ölçüde katkıda
bulunur. Alan yazınında büyük ölçekli spor etkinlikleri “Hallmark”,”Mega”,”Major”
olmak üzere farklı kavramlar ile tanımlanmaktadır. Ekonomi ile bu tür
organizasyonların gerçekleştirildiği şehir ya da ülkenin birbirinden ayrı
düşünülmesi imkânsızdır. Mega spor etkinlikleri uluslararası düzeyde katılımın
olduğu, ancak organizasyonun düzenlendiği şehir ya da ülkenin her bir
etkinlikte değiştiği Dünya Kupası ya da Olimpiyat oyunları gibi organizasyonlardır.
Mega etkinlikler ‘’kısa sürede gerçekleşen, fakat özellikle ekonomik etkileri
uzun vadeli olan etkinlikler’’ olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Mega spor etkinlikleri
düzenlendiği şehrin kentsel altyapısının büyük ölçüde gelişmesi ve hatta
yenilenmesinin yanı sıra, artan uluslararası ün, buna bağlı olarak artan turist
sayısı ve bunlarla ilgili uzun vadeli sosyolojik ve ekonomik yararlar
açısından, düzenlendiği şehir ya da ülkeye ekonomik getiriler sağlamaktadır. Bu
nedenle Mega etkinliklere ev sahipliği yapabilmek için yaşanan adaylık süreci
de oldukça karmaşık ve maliyetli bir şekilde gerçekleşirken, yer yer politik
manevra ve çekişmelere da sahne olmaktadır.  Mega spor etkinlikleri ülke ekonomilerine
katkı sağladığı gibi, bazen ekonomileri zorlayan bir takım zorluklar da
oluşturmaktadır. Atina Olimpiyatları örneğinde olduğu gibi 14,5 milyar dolar
zarar edilerek ekonomik yıkımlara neden olmuştur. Bu nedenle ülkeler Mega
organizasyonlara talip olduklarında ekonomik olarak karşılaşacakları
problemleri önceden iyi hesaplamalı ciddi planlamalar yapmalıdır. Ülkemizde de
yoğun bir şekilde Mega organizasyonlarının düzenlenmesi konusunda yoğun bir
çaba ve istek bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı daha önce yapılan mega spor
etkinliklerinin ekonomik etkilerini değerlendirerek, mega spor etkinliklerine
ev sahipliği yapma konusunda istekli olan ülkemizi bu tür organizasyonların
ekonomik avantajları ve dezavantajları konusunda bilgilendirmektir.

O inesperado 1977: quarenta anos da criação de Mato Grosso do Sul
Authors: Bittar Marisa
Published: June 2018

O presente artigo tem como objeto de análise a atuação das Irmãs de Jesus na Santíssima Eucaristia na Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, entre os anos de 1929 a 1950. O recorte temporal se justifica pelo período em que as freiras administraram internamente o hospital. A hipótese defendida é que as religiosas cuidavam dos doentes internados na instituição, mas esse cuidado rompia as fronteiras do corpo e alcançava os limites da alma, visto que estas se preocupavam com o conforto espiritual dos convalescentes e de seus familiares, favorecendo a cura ou minimizando o sofrimento e possibilitando uma melhoria na qualidade de vida daqueles que eram atendidos no hospital. A pesquisa visa analisar como as mudanças causadas pela institucionalização da enfermagem chegaram ao município e de que maneira estas repercutiram no dia a dia da instituição.

Published: June 2018

O objetivo da pesquisa é compreender a ocorrência de violência durante a formação em saúde, quanto à suas origens, grupos vulneráveis e mecanismos pelos quais podem ocorrem tais violências. O estudo dividiu-se em uma etapa de levantamento da literatura sobre a ocorrência de violência na formação em saúde e outra de pesquisa qualitativa, na qual analisou-se um curso da área da saúde - odontologia. Foram feitas entrevistas e grupo focal com estudantes e professores, analisadas por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados desvelam diversos tipos de violências, caracterizadas como violências interpessoais comunitárias, violência cultural e violência institucional. Conclui-se que tais violências fazem parte da formação em saúde e compõem a construção da identidade destes futuros profissionais de saúde. Tais violências são banalizadas ou naturalizadas, portanto pouco conscientes e de visibilidade não-imediatas. O método empregado foi sensível para captar tais fenômenos e os achados podem colaborar como subsídio para que arranjos institucionais pedagógicos, políticos e curriculares possam atuar sobre isto.

KEHUJJAHAN AS SUNNAH DALAM MENGISTINBATKAN HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: Makatungkang Ramli
Published: June 2018

Kehujjaan As Sunnah dalam meng­istimbatkan hukum menempatkan pada posisi kedua sesudah Al-Quran. Sunnah sebagai hujjah dalam mengistimbatkan hukum terbagi atas tiga yaitu sunnah Qauliyah (perka­taan nabi) yaitu hadis Rasul yang beliau sampaikan dalam berbagai tujuan yang membuat berbagai maksud syariah baik yang berkaitan dengan Aqidah Akhlak maupun yang. Lainnya. Kedua sunnah Fi’liyah ( perbuatan nabi) segala peraturan pekerjaannya yang dipahami dan dilakukan nabi untuk diikuti umatnya sampai kepada umat akhir zaman. Dan yang adalah sunnah Tagririyah yaitu sunnah seseorang melakukan sesuatu perbuatan atau mengemuka­kan suatu ucapan kepada nabi dan nabi mengetahui apa yang dilakukan ocang ito dan mampu menyangga namun nabi diam dan tidak me­nyangga nya maka hal ini merupakan pengakuan nabi.Fungsi Sunnah terhadap Al-Quran untuk menjelaskan kepada umat Islam ajaran-ajaran yang diturunkan Allah melalui Al-Quran.
MENCERMATI KETENTUAN HARTA BERSAMA SEBAGAI SUATU DINAMIKA HUKUM ISLAM DI INDONESIA
Authors: Yusuf Nasruddin
Published: June 2018

Ketentuan-ketentuan Hukum Islam meskipun diyakini pengikutnya sebagai ketentuan-ketentuan agama, namun tidak jarang para mujtahid hukum Islam berusaha merespons perkembangan-perkembangan yang terjadi dalam masyarakat, baik dengan mencoba mengadakan interpretasi ayat­ayat maupun mengadopsi maslahat yang dikandung. Harta bersama merupakan bentuk akomodasi pemuka hukum Islam Indonesia terhadap hukum Islam dengan hukum adat. Diketahui bahwa kitab­kitab fiqh tidak ada penjelasan institusi masyarakat Indonesia ke dalam sistem hukum Islam. Dengan masuknya persoalan harta bersama ini ke dalam sistem hukum Islam semakin mengukuhkan dinamisasi hukum Islam terhadap perubahan-perubahan sosial yang terjadi dalam masyarakat Dengan ketentuan praktek-praktek tersebut tidak melanggar norma-norma yang baku dalam hukum Islam
HUKUM PERWAKAFAN KOMPILASI HUKUM ISLAM DALAM SOROTAN
Authors: Jamal Ridwan
Published: June 2018

Tulisan ini membahas tentang hukum perwakilan kompilasi hukum isslam dalam sorotan hukum perwakafan kompilasi hukum islam dalam sorotan. Hukum perwakafan yang diatur dalam kompilasi hukum islam merupakan kemajuan yang sangat berarti bagi hukum perdata islam yang masih memerlukan pengkajian lebih jauh. Pengkajian leih jauh tentang hukum perwakafan dalam kompilasi hukum islam disesuaikan dengan kondisi social kehidupan umat islam indonesia. Ada dua alasan yang menjadi sorotan dalam hukum perwakafan kompilasi hukum islam yaitu : pertama, pasal-pasal yang ada dalam hukum perwakafan jauh lebih sederhana dari pada hukum perkawinan dan kewarisan. Kedua, apabila kita memperhatikan materi hukum perwakafan yang ada dalam kompilasi hukum islam lalu membandingkan dengan PP.No.28 tahun 1977 serta peraturan menteri agama No.1 tahun 1978, maka ditemuibahwa pasal-pasal tentang wakaf dalam kompilasi hukum islam seakan akan hanya merupakan duplikasi atas PP. No.28 tahun 1977.
REAKTUALISASI PERAN WAKAF DALAM MEMBANGKITKAN EKONOMI RAKYAT
Authors: Syarifuddin Syarifuddin
Published: June 2018

Wakaf sebagai suatu instrumen lembaga ekonomi dan sosial, merupakan bagian yang tak terpisahkan dari ekonomi islam yang integral dan merupakan inovasi tunggal milik konsep islam. Kehidupan masyarakat yang cendrung memiliki gaya hidup yang sekuler yang  melahirkan para borjuis, sudah barang tentu kita tidak akan menemukan sebuah konsep ekonomi yang murni sosial dalam tatanam ideologi manapun selain islam. Namun realita wakaf di indonesia kurang mendapat perhatian dan pengelolaan yang serius, akibat konsep pemahaman yang terbelenggu oleh hanya satu mazhab. Hal ini, mengakibatkan wakaf  kurang memberikan konstribusi kesejahteraan ekonomi.
ISTIHSAN (Telaah Sosiologi-Kultural Pemikiran Imam Hanafi)
Authors: Ota Yusno Abdullah
Published: June 2018

Tulisan ini adalah upaya untuk mengeksplorasi pemikiran fikih Abu Hanifah dengan menggunakan kacamata sosiologis. Pemikiran seorang tokoh tidak lahir dengan sendirinya, tanpa peran serta kondisi social, politik dan budaya yang berkembang pada masa tokoh pemikir tersebut hidup. Karenanya, pemikiran Abu Hanifah tentang Istihsan juga tidak bisa dilepaskan dari kondisi dan struktur masyarakat Kufah, sebagai basis dan tempat tinggal Imam Abu Hanifah
Application of a Dielectric Measurement Technique for Calculating Water Loss from Two Texture-contrasting Soils Grown with Upland Rice
Authors: Hermawan Bandi , Pajrina Pajrina , Sumardi Sumardi , Agustian Indra
Published: June 2018

Most of the water loss from the soil profile occurred through the evapotranspiration process especially when the plant covers were under maximum growth periods.  This study aimed to apply a technique of measuring a dielectric variable for calculating soil water content and crop water use in the coarse and medium textured soils grown with upland rice.  A couple of wires were inserted into the soil repacked in a 10-kg polybag grown with upland rice, the electrical impedance representing the dielectric value was measured using an instrument called the impedance meter.  The impedance values were converted into the soil water content using a nonlinear regression model of ? = a.ebZ where a and b were constants.  Results showed that the proposed technique of measuring the electrical impedance has successfully been applied to calculate the soil water content and the water use by upland rice grown in loamy sand and sandy loam soils.  Cumulative water loss from loamy sand was about 4 L plant-1 higher for the coarse loamy sand in the first 30 days of a measurement period, but about 10 L plant-1 higher for finer sandy loam on the 90th day of the rice growth period.  Higher biomass of upland rice in the sandy loam soil could increase the evapotranspiration rates and be the main reason for higher water use in this soil.

Published: June 2018

Bruck syndrome is a very rare autosomal recessive syndrome consisting of bone fragility and congenital joint contractures. It is considered as a combination of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and osteogenesis imperfecta, while some consider it as the autosomal recessive variant of osteogenesis imperfecta. According to the genotype, it has been classified into types 1 and 2. To our knowledge, only about 28 patients of this syndrome have been reported so far worldwide with none been reported from Nepal. Here, we present a patient with generalized osteopenia, bilateral femur fracture and congenital joint contractures of distal extremities.
It's Still the Teacher in the Classroom
Authors: Nicholas N. C.
Published: June 2018

After only some seven months as a Program Consultant in Southwestern Ontario, I certainly cannot provide the teachers of languages with the ultimate critique of the task they are daily facing nor fix the solutions which will resolve any shortcomings they may be experiencing. A practice that works for one may not work for another. A theory, sound in logic, disintegrates when applied to a certain class. However, there is one rule that will always be valid. Each teacher must, by constant experimentation, by selection, by investigation, arrive at methods and practices which result in meeting the basic philosophy of the subject, in arousing the interest of the pupils and in satisfying the teacher himself.
INFLUENCE OF BASIC VARIABLES ON MICRONUCLEI FREQUENCY AND CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATIONS IN GENERAL POPULATION OF FB&H

Published: June 2018

The aim of this study was to determine the values of micronuclei (MN) and structural chromosomal aberrations (CA) in peripheral blood lymphocytes from 200 healthy participants of both genders from general population of FB&H, as well as to explore the influence of gender and age on MN and CA frequencies. Standard protocols for MN test, cultivation and micronuclei analysis from peripheral blood binuclear lymphocytes have been applied. MN values ranged from 0 to 8 MN per 1000 binuclear cells. The results suggest that gender and age influence MN frequency, with pronounced effect on 2 MN frequencies. Females on average have higher values of all observed variables of MN test than men. We have also found significant effect of gender – females had increased number of CAs – chromatid type; and of the age in both genders. Frequency distribution of CTAs and CSAs between male and female groups showed predominance of CTAs over CSAs, independently of gender. The results of this study will be incorporated into reference data base for comparative research in future.

Published: June 2018

This paper presents development of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for prediction of the size of nanoparticles (NP) and microspore surface area (MSA). Developed neural network architecture has the following three inputs: the concentration of the biodegradable polymer in the organic phase, surfactant concentration in the aqueous phase and the homogenizing pressure. Two-layer feedforward network with a sigmoid transfer function in the hidden layer and a linear transfer function in the output layer is trained, using Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm. For training of this network, as well as for subsequent validation, 36 samples were used. From 36 samples which were used for subsequent validation in this ANN, 80,5% of them had highest accuracy while 19,5% of output data had insignificant differences comparing to experimental values.
IN VITRO STUDY OF THE ANTI-PROLIFERATIVE EFFECTS OF DIPOTASSIUM-TRIOXOHYDROXYTETRAFLUOROTRIBORATE ON THE H520 NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER CELL LINE

Published: June 2018

Non-small cell lung cancer has been shown to be resistant to many forms of chemotherapy and is amongst the deadliest cancers worldwide. The anti-proliferative effects of halogenated boroxine - K2(B3O3F4OH), have been confirmed in multiple cancer cell lines including melanoma and breast cancer. The potential for this chemical treatment on non-small cell lung cancer cells was studied and the lower threshold concentration with the clear biological effect of halogenated boroxine, was determined. Appling MTT assays and the relative gene expression analysis of two genes of interest, RRBP1 and PER1, novel knowledge on the biological potential of halogenated boroxine (HB) was gained, but did not lead to biological explanations of the mechanisms of halogenated boroxine activity. The results of MTT assay showed a significant HB effect on non-small cell lung cancer in concentration of 0.5 mg/mL, while relative expression levels of RRBP1 and PER1 did not significantly differ regardless the concentration applied.

Características de Classe em Grafoscopia
Authors: Xavier Villela Carlos Andre
Published: June 2018

Nas principais obras estrangeiras sobre Grafoscopia observa-se que é frequente a utilização da expressão “class characteristics”. Esta constatação salta aos olhos dos peritos latino-americanos e de todos aqueles que tiveram sua formação a partir de obras consideradas clássicas neste continente, visto que este termo não é nelas utilizado. O presente trabalho pretende contribuir na busca por respostas aos seguintes questionamentos: Como um conceito aparentemente tão importante na Grafoscopia de países estrangeiros foi simplesmente suprimido ou ignorado em obras de extensa aceitação e divulgação no continente sul-americano? Que motivações históricas deram ensejo à atual existência de diferentes “escolas” de Grafoscopia? Como o termo “class characteristics” pode ser tratado no Brasil?
