Imprint of Southern Ocean eddies on chlorophyll
Authors: Frenger Ivy , Münnich Matthias , Gruber Nicolas
Published: February 2018

Abstract. Although mesoscale ocean eddies are ubiquitous in the Southern Ocean, their spatial and seasonal association with phytoplankton has to date not been quantified in detail. To this end, we identify over 100,000 eddies in the Southern Ocean and determine the associated phytoplankton biomass anomalies using satellite-based chlorophyll-a (Chl) as a proxy. The mean eddy associated Chl anomalies (𝛿Chl) exceed ±10 % over wide regions. The structure of these anomalies is largely zonal, with cyclonic, thermocline lifting, eddies having positive anomalies in the subtropical waters north of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and negative anomalies along the ACC. The pattern is similar, but reversed for anticyclonic, thermocline deepening eddies. The seasonality of 𝛿Chl is weak in subtropical waters, but pronounced along the ACC, featuring a seasonal sign switch. The spatial structure and seasonality of 𝛿Chl can be explained largely by lateral advection, especially eddy-stirring. A prominent exception is the ACC region in winter, where 𝛿Chl is consistent with a modulation of phytoplankton light exposure caused by an eddy-induced modification of the mixed layer depth. The clear impact of eddies on phytoplankton may implicate a downstream effect on Southern Ocean biogeochemical properties, such as mode water nutrient contents.

Abstract. Small changes in the radiation budget at the earth’s surface can lead to large climatological responses when persistent over time. With the increasing debate on anthropogenic influences on climatic processes during the 1980s the need for accurate radiometric measurements with higher temporal resolution was identified, and it was determined that the existing measurement networks did not have the resolution or accuracy required to meet this need. In 1988 the WMO therefore proposed the establishment of a new international Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN), which should collect and centrally archive high quality ground-based radiation measurements in 1-minute resolution. BSRN began its work in 1992 with 9 stations, currently (status 2018-01-01), the network comprises 59 stations (with data) and 9 candidates (stations recently accepted into the network with data forthcoming to the archive) distributed over all continents. The BSRN database is the World Radiation Monitoring Center. It is hosted at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany and now offers more than 10 300 months of data from the years 1992 to 2017. All data are available at https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.880000 free of charge.
CÆLIS: software for assimilation, management and processing data of an atmospheric measurement network

Published: February 2018

Abstract. Given the importance of the atmospheric aerosol, the number of instruments and measurement networks which focus on its characterization are growing. Many challenges are derived from standardization of protocols, monitoring of the instrument status to evaluate the network data quality and manipulation and distribution of large volume of data (raw and processed). CÆLIS is a software system which aims at simplifying the management of a network, providing tools by monitoring the instruments, processing the data in real time and offering the scientific community a new tool to work with the data. Since 2008 CÆLIS has been successfully applied to the photometer calibration facility managed by the University of Valladolid, Spain, in the framework of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). Thanks to the use of advanced tools, this facility has been able to analyze a growing number of stations and data in real time, which greatly benefits the network management and data quality control. The present work describes the system architecture of CÆLIS and some examples of applications and data processing.
Determining the range of allowable axial force for the third-order Beam Constraint Model
Authors: Ma Fulei , Chen Guimin , Hao Guangbo
Published: February 2018

Abstract. The Beam Constraint Model (BCM) was developed for the purpose of accurately and analytically modeling nonlinear behaviors of a planar beam flexure over an intermediate range of transverse deflections (10 % of the beam length). The BCM is expressed in the form of Taylor's expansion associated with the axial force. It has been found that the BCM may yield large predicting errors (>  5 %) when the applied axial force goes beyond a certain boundary, even the deflection is still in the intermediate range. However, this boundary has not been clearly identified so far. In this work, we mathematically determine the non-dimensional boundary of the axial force by the condition that the strain energy expression of the BCM is a positive definite quadratic form, and by the buckling condition relate to compressing axial force. Several examples are analyzed to demonstrate the effects of the axial force on the modeling errors of the BCM. When using the BCM for modeling, it is always suggested to check if the axial force is within this boundary to avoid large modeling errors. If the axial force is beyond the boundary, the Chained Beam Constraint Model (CBCM) can be used instead.
Probable Maximum Precipitation Estimation in a Humid Climate

Published: February 2018

Abstract. Due to the importance of probable maximum precipitation (PMP) for designing and planning hydraulic structures, the aim of this study is the estimation of 24-hour PMP (PMP24) by using the statistical and physical methods in a humid climate of Qareh-Su Basin which is located in the northern part of Iran. For statistical estimate of PMP, the equations of empirical curves of Hershfield method were extracted. Then the standard and revised approaches of Hershfield method were written in JAVA programming language, as a user friendly and multi-platform application called the PMP Calculator. Convergence model was considered to calculate PMP by physical method. The depth–area–duration (DAD) curves were extracted to estimate PMP24 using physical method and then PMP24 was estimated for each storm. The results showed that for the standard and revised approaches, Km was found to be varied the range of 17–18.0 and 2.2–5.3, respectively. The maximum values of PMP24 for the first approach was obtained 447.7 mm and for second approach was 200.7 mm. Using the physical method, PMP24 was 143.1 mm. The results of this study will be helpful for planning, designing, and management of hydraulic structures and water resources projects in the study area.
Mixed layer depth variability in the Red Sea
Authors: Abdulla Cheriyeri P. , Alsaafani Mohammed A. , Alraddadi Turki M. , Albarakati Alaa M.
Published: February 2018

Abstract. For the first time, a monthly climatology of mixed layer depth (MLD) in the Red Sea has been derived based on temperature profiles. The general pattern of MLD variability is clearly visible in the Red Sea, with deep MLDs during winter and shallow MLDs during summer. Transitional MLDs have been found during the spring and fall. The northern end of the Red Sea experienced deeper mixing and higher MLD, associated with the winter cooling of the high-saline surface waters. Further, the region north of 19° N experienced deep mixed layers, irrespective of the season. Wind stress plays a major role in the MLD variability of the southern Red Sea, while net heat flux and evaporation are the dominating factors in the central and northern Red Sea regions. Ocean eddies and Tokar gap winds significantly alter the MLD structure in the Red Sea. The dynamics associated with the Tokar gap winds lead to a difference of more than 20 m in the average MLD between the north and south of the Tokar axis.
Modelling the late-Holocene and future evolution of Monacobreen, northern Spitsbergen
Authors: Oerlemans Johannes
Published: February 2018

Abstract. Monacobreen is a 40 km long surge-type tidewater glacier in northen Spitsbergen. The glacier flows down from Isachsenfonna (~1000 m a.s.l.), and drains an area of about 400 km2. The longitudinal surface profile is smooth and the mean slope is small (0.027). During 1991–1997 Monacobreen surged and advanced by about 2 km, but the front did not reach the maximum LIA stand. Since 1997 the glacier front has receded over a distance of 2.5 km. In this study Monacobreen is modelled with a Minimal Glacier Model, including a parameterization of the calving process as well as the effect of surges. The glacier is modelled as a 5 km wide flowband, to which 10 tributary glaciers and basins supply mass when they have a positive budget. The bed profile is not known, but supposed to be similar to that of Kronebreen, which flows from the same plateau into the opposite direction. The model is driven by a well-constrained ELA history derived from lake sediments of a nearby glacier catchment (Røthe et al., 2015), in combination with meteorological data from 1899 onwards. The model is calibrated by optimising a surge parameter and the reference value of the ELA. The simulated glacier length is in good agreement with the observations: the maximum LIA stand, the front position at the end of the surge, and the 2.5 km retreat after the surge (1997–2016) are accurately reproduced. The effect of surging, with a surge cycle of 100 years, appears to be limited. Directly after a surge the initiated mass-balance pertubation due to a lower mean surface elevation is about −0.16 m w.e./yr. This only has a modest effect on the long-term evolution of the glacier. The simulation suggests that the major growth of Monacobreen after the Holocene Climatic Optimum started around 1500 BC. Monacobreen became a tidewater glacier around 500 BC, and reached a size comparable to the present state around 500 AD. After that the length of the glacier has fluctuated within a range of about 5 km. The e-folding time scale appears to be of the order of 350 years. For the mid-B2 scenario (IPCC, 2013), which corresponds to a ~2 m/yr rise of the ELA, the model predicts a volume loss of 20 to 30 % by the year 2100 (relative to the 2017 volume). For a 4 m/yr rise in the ELA this is 30 to 40 %. However, much of the response to 21st century warming will come after 2100.

Offline interpretation of subject pronouns by native speakers of Spanish
Authors: Chamorro Gloria
Published: February 2018

Research on anaphora resolution reveals that speakers’ interpretation of pronominal subjects is often inconsistent, with results differing in terms of the antecedent preferences of these speakers and the factors that affect these preferences. The present study investigates anaphora resolution by native speakers of Spanish using an offline judgment task where participants are presented with globally ambiguous anaphora to test the predictions of Carminati’s (2002) Position of Antecedent Strategy (PAS) with Spanish intra-sentential Main-Subordinate anaphora. The results show that native speakers of Iberian Spanish have a clear preference for the object as the antecedent for the overt pronoun with this structure, while a preference for the subject as the antecedent for the null pronoun was not revealed. These findings appear to be at odds with the PAS and suggest that anaphora resolution is affected by clause order.
Modifying plurals, classifiers, and co-occurrence: The case of Korean
Authors: Kim Kyumin , Melchin Paul B.
Published: February 2018

This paper argues that the Korean plural marker –tul is best analyzed as a modifier to the nP projection, rather than as a head in the nominal extended projection such as Num or Div(ision), which a standard pluralizer (e.g., English –s) realizes. As a modifier, plural –tul bears the privative feature [plural], rather than the binary feature [±plural] reserved for a plural that realizes a head. Supporting evidence comes from the fact that the presence of –tul leads to an obligatorily plural reading, while a number-neutral reading obtains in its absence; –tul also shows no evidence of inflectional properties. Appearing as an adjunct to nP, –tul shows certain idiosyncrasies, such as irregularities in the range of nouns that it can occur with. Evidence against the common claim that –tul is associated with a definite reading is provided, which suggests that it cannot realize D or adjoin to DP. The major consequence of this paper is that the often observed non-co-occurrence of classifiers and plural markers is predicted only when the relation between the two morphemes is in syntactic complementary distribution, but may not be when the relation is in merely semantic complementary distribution.

Smallsteps en de grote stappen die nu gezet moeten worden

In de Smallsteps-uitspraak heeft het Europese Hof van Justitie een halt toegeroepen aan pre-packed doorstarts indien daarbij in feite een personele reorganisatie plaatsvindt. Gelet op de argumentatie van het Hof, is het niet ondenkbeeldig dat ook de klassieke faillissementsdoorstart, anders dan tot nu toe verondersteld, zal leiden tot overgang van onderneming, omdat wat insolventierechtjuristen beschouwen als liquidatie in de ogen van het Hof aangemerkt moet worden als voortzetting. De auteur roept arbeids- en insolventierecht-beoefenaars op om ter zake van herstructurering van bedrijven in moeilijkheden een meer gezamenlijk jargon te ontwikkelen. Dat kan bijdragen aan het behoud van levensvatbare ondernemingen.

Het Condor-arrest: uniek geval of inleiding op beperking van de reikwijdte van de cao-norm bij de uitleg van ondernemings-cao’s

Bij de uitleg van cao-bepalingen leek de Hoge Raad in 1993, met de introductie van de cao-norm, afstand te hebben genomen van de Haviltex-norm. De ‘grammaticale uitleg’ van cao-bepalingen raakte in zwang. Dit was niet de bedoeling. De Hoge Raad greep diverse keren in om de cao-norm te verduidelijken. In 2002, met het DSM/Fox-arrest, leek de cao-norm uitgekristalliseerd. Met het Condor-arrest heeft de Hoge Raad geoordeeld dat bij de uitleg van een cao-bepaling de toepassing van de cao-norm niet in alle gevallen gerechtvaardigd is. In deze bijdrage wordt de ontwikkeling van de cao-norm toegelicht. De nieuwe grenzen zullen nog vastgesteld moeten worden. Mijn verwachting is dat het Condor-arrest als basis zal dienen voor een ontwikkeling waarbij cao-bepalingen uit bedrijfstak-cao’s en ondernemings-cao’s niet altijd volgens dezelfde methode zullen worden uitgelegd.

Allegations of child sexual abuse during divorce proceedings and custody and access disputes: the decision-making process of civil judges

This study aims to provide insight into allegations of child sexual abuse in the context of divorce, and related, proceedings by analyzing the decision-making process of civil judges. To this aim, interviews with 13 judges and 11 lawyers were conducted and a focus group was organized with different specialists. It is concluded that in the eyes of the judges, allegations of child sexual abuse in this context are not rare, and some of the professionals signal an increase of allegations in the last decade. The presence of an allegation poses a dual issue: it points out problems within the family, as well as causes problems for the child. This dual nature makes it even more complex for judges to make decisions, especially concerning contact between father and child. The validity of the allegation becomes less important than its presence when judges consider the children’s best interests. The judges’ aim to create conditions for the family within which the child’s safety is best protected, can as an unwanted consequence delay the process, which in itself can be damaging for the child.
Voorbij procedurele rechtvaardigheid
Authors: Doornbos Nienke
Published: February 2018

Beyond procedural justice

To overcome problems of juridification and formalization of administrative law, successful initiatives have been undertaken by professionals in the public administration and judiciary to improve administrative procedures. These initiatives have been inspired by theories of (perceived) procedural justice, as developed by Tyler and Lind (1988). Although the author acknowledges the importance of procedural justice, she argues that the strong focus on procedural aspects, based on subjective opinions of claimants, may unintentionally lead to a situation in which other important issues may be easily overlooked, such as the question why citizens would refrain from starting a lawsuit or the question what explains the low success rates of citizens in administrative law.

The objection procedure: a study into the relationship between the organization of the procedure and the quality of the decision in appeal

If someone disagrees with an administrative order, he or she has to lodge an objection with the administrative authority responsible for the order. Only after the administrative authority has fully reconsidered the contested order is the interested party allowed to seek redress with the administrative courts. Estimates are that around 2.6 million objections are filled each year, making the administrative objection procedure the most frequently used dispute resolution procedure in the Netherlands. Numerous variations can be found in the way administrative authorities handle objections. Does this affect how professional users evaluate its quality? And if so, how can this be explained?

O profetismo como categoria histórico-teológica: o padre Manuel Foyaca de
la Concha e o apostolado social na América Latina (1940-1966)
Authors: Santos Costa Iraneidson
Published: February 2018

A transformação vivenciada pela Igreja Católica
latino-americana em meados do século XX continua sendo objeto de uma das
mais ardorosas controvérsias da historiografia contemporânea. O presente
artigo pretende contribuir neste debate através da análise da atuação do
jesuíta hispano-cubano Manuel Foyaca de la Concha no apostolado social
latino-americano nas décadas de 1940, 1950 e 1960. Para tanto, recorremos ao
conceito de profetismo como categoria
histórico-teológica, o qual admite a temporalidade da profecia e leva em
consideração a articulação íntima da mesma a conjunturas históricas
específicas. Em seu período profético (1940-1966),
Manuel Foyaca se tornou um dos mais importantes intelectuais católicos da
América Latina, tendo ocupando cargos de destaque na Ação Católica, editado
revistas, fundado centros sociais e empreendido uma ampla divulgação da
Doutrina Social da Igreja. A hipótese defendida é que o apostolado social
promovido por ele nesta época configurou uma transição entre o Catolicismo
Social da primeira metade do século XX e o Cristianismo de Libertação
sistematizado a partir da década de 1970.
Coping Religioso/Espiritual na Antessala de UTI: Reflexões sobre a

Published: February 2018

A experiência de ter um familiar internado em
uma UTI é desencadeadora de stress, mobilizando na pessoa a busca de
recursos para suportar tal situação. Este estudo buscou compreender
especificamente os recursos espirituais utilizados por familiares no
enfrentamento da situação de internamento de um parente em UTI de um
hospital de emergência e trauma. Foram entrevistados 40 familiares. Destes,
24 (60%), reportaram apoiar-se na religião como principal forma de
enfrentamento e 13 deles (54,1%) modificaram suas práticas religiosas. A
oração foi a estratégia mais utilizada por 20 participantes (83,33%).
Decorridos 6 meses, a maioria manteve ou até aumentou sua prática religiosa.
O estudo indica que a espiritualidade/religiosidade é um fator importante no
enfrentamento de situações em que a vida é ameaçada, sendo relevante sua
integração nas práticas de cuidado pela equipe multidisciplinar hospitalar.
Destaca-se ainda, que assim como outros aspectos do cuidado na unidade
intensiva, a colaboração interdisciplinar é fundamental quando se trata da
integração da espiritualidade nos cuidados em saúde.
ÉCRIRE POUR PARLER LA PAROLE
Authors: CLICHE ANNE ÉLAINE
Published: February 2018

Jamais détachée de sa performance, qui est aussi sa fonction symbolique, la parole
est adressée, elle va de l’un à l’autre quelle que soit la valeur de son dit, indissociable
de sa valeur de tessère. La parole a pour destin de passer, de circuler, de faire lien,
d’être prise et reprise, répétée, rapportée, détournée. Que la parole soit oralité ne veut
pas dire qu’elle s’oppose à la lettre et à l’écrit. Pour la Bible, elle est une écriture qui
s’incorpore, comme nous le montrent Ézéchiel et Jean à Patmos. La parole est ce dehors qui
se parle en moi. Cet article analyse le statut de la parole chez Gilbert La Rocque
en passant rapidement par Jacques Ferron et Victor-Lévy Beaulieu. Dans cette écriture
aimantée par la bouche d’ombre du maternel, l’inter-dit est indissociable du dire que le
sujet assume contre sa propre mort. Pour La Rocque, les surgissements du passé se donnent à
entendre comme des sortes d’îlots prosodiques faisant retour telle une multiplicité du
« moi » qui les entend et les raconte. La mémoire ne sauve pas, elle est ce qui, dans la
voix qui parle, témoigne de la violence immanente de l’Autre.
RACCROCHER LE NOM AU CORPS
Authors: GODIN LOUIS-DANIEL
Published: February 2018

Dans son ouvrage Le nom propre. Fonctions logiques et inconscientes, le
psychanalyste Gérard Pommier (grâce à ce que Jacques Lacan met en place avant lui) souligne
la dimension du refoulement à l’oeuvre dans tout acte de langage que la linguistique
saussurienne ne prend pas en charge. Pour s’énoncer, le sujet doit posséder un patronyme et
le refouler constamment. L’écriture littéraire n’est pas soumise à cette même contrainte, et
cet article mesure au sein de la poétique bouchardienne le désir de faire apparaître cette
absence signifiante. Si un sujet ne peut pas à la fois énoncer « je » et son patronyme,
l’écrivain peut en jouer la superposition, ce qui est d’ailleurs un motif récurrent de
Mailloux. Mailloux ne dit pas seulement « je », mais plutôt « Mailloux moi », « Je
moi Mailloux Jacques »  ou « Mailloux Jacques moi » ; il ne tombe pas, il se « renvers[e]
tout le Mailloux dessus » ; son corps n’est pas baigné d’urine, « il se noie l’Mailloux ».
C’est ainsi que Bouchard tente de ressaisir, par l’écriture, une position infantile : celle
d’un temps de l’enfance qui précède la parole, où le nom et le corps ne coïncident pas tout
à fait. La voix narrative bouchardienne raccroche constamment le nom propre au corps, comme
si le sujet de l’écriture était en voie de se défaire, comme s’il n’était pas dupe du fait
que la consubstantialité de l’image du corps et de la parole ne tenait que par le nom (du
père).
ENTRE LE POCAILLE ET LE POÈTE

Published: February 2018

Au-delà de l’emblématique équipée de chasse à l’orignal qu’elle met en scène,
La bête lumineuse de Pierre Perrault raconte surtout l’histoire d’une grande
chamaille, celle d’un conflit langagier faisant s’affronter deux ordres de la parole sourds
l’un à l’autre ; celui des pocailles, chasseurs d’orignaux rompus au rite de la
chasse, et celui du poète Stéphane-Albert, chasseur néophyte et non-initié. Grand amateur de
littérature classique, le chasseur-poète décidera effectivement d’écrire et de réciter un
poème ayant pour but d’exalter l’expérience vécue en forêt, geste qui ne sera pas sans
causer une cassure irréparable au sein de la communauté des chasseurs. Car en plus d’exposer
la part latente d’érotisme contenue dans l’acte cynégétique et habituellement sublimée dans
le geste du call, l’énonciation de ce poème leur demandera également de révéler les
lois tacites régissant le déploiement de la parole pocaille, mélange de hardiesse
orale et de pudeur sentimentale. À travers une lecture du scénario commenté de La bête
lumineuse, cet article cherche à démontrer que le geste d’écriture de Perrault vient,
au sein de cet objet textuel, réconcilier, voire transcender la dichotomie entre parole vive
et écriture faisant loi au coeur du film.

Flexibilização de direitos via negociação coletiva: o princípio da adequação setorial diante da prefixação de jornada extraordinária
Authors: Pereira Eddla Karina Gomes , Regis Pedro Gabriel de Medeiros
Published: February 2018

A mundialização do capital vem impondo transformações substanciais nas relações de trabalho, causando impactos significativos na fruição de direitos básicos do trabalhador. As crises cíclicas da economia associadas ao enfraquecimento da atuação sindical, contribuem para a restrição cada vez mais desenfreada de normas trabalhistas, erroneamente alcunhada de “flexibilização”, desconsiderando o longo percurso histórico para a conquista de garantias trabalhistas essenciais. Outrossim, a recente doutrina erigiu o princípio da adequação setorial negociada como parâmetro balizador desta flexibilização, estabelecendo-o, no contexto das negociações coletivas, como referência para disposições que tendam a cercear direitos de indisponibilidade absoluta, tais como os relativos à limitação da jornada de trabalho. Nesse contexto, é relevante analisar a possibilidade de delimitação prévia da jornada extraordinária, independentemente da efetiva prestação de serviço extraordinário: seria possível a “flexibilização” do direito ao pagamento integral do trabalho em sobrejornada? Sob a ótica de um estudo de caso, pelo método da observação direta extensiva e da técnica de análise de conteúdo de autos processuais, o presente artigo tem o intuito de analisar a aplicação, no âmbito do Tribunal Regional do Trabalho da 21ª região, do princípio da adequação setorial negociada diante da prefixação de jornada extraordinária em negociações coletivas. Nesse contexto, percebe-se que a jurisprudência pátria vem sendo pautada pela observância de limites às negociações coletivas, entendendo - no que atine à prefixação de jornada extraordinária via acordo ou convenção coletiva – pela impossibilidade de tal artifício, principalmente por considerar a limitação da jornada de trabalho um dos direitos mais caros e fundamentais do trabalhador.

Imperalismo, desenvolvimento econômico e degradação ambiental: uma análise da crise ecológica sob a perspectiva dictômica centro-periferia
Authors: Aita Dimitri , Oliveira da Silva Maria Beatriz , Delgado De David Thomaz
Published: February 2018

O presente artigo trata do modelo de desenvolvimento econômico predominante no sistema capitalista e aponta as consequências ambientais negativas que decorrem desse e afetam as regiões globais periféricas. Para tanto, realizou-se um resgate histórico que abrangeu as práticas dos países imperialistas na modernidade e observou-se a degradação ambiental no âmbito internacional. Ademais, adotou-se o método de abordagem materialista histórico-dialético e o instrumental teórico marxista para a análise da crise socioambiental, com o auxílio de documentação indireta enquanto técnica de pesquisa. Em sede conclusiva, verificou-se que a territorialização dos impactos ambientais negativos é um efeito intrínseco ao capitalismo imperialista no período globalizado, que especialmente ocorre em detrimento dos países pobres e pode ser explicada em razão de relações de exploração social e ambiental ao longo da história, que culminaram no arranjo sociopolítico e econômico internacional da contemporaneidade.
Duckweed (Lemna minor) is a novel natural inducer of cellulase production in Trichoderma reesei
Authors: Li Chen , Feng Jun , Bai Xue , Chen Shulin , Zhang Dongyuan , He Ronglin , Li Demao
Published: February 2018

An inducer is crucial for cellulase production. In this study, duckweed was used as an inducer of cellulase production by Trichoderma reesei RUT C30. In a reaction induced by 50 g l-1 duckweed in shake flasks, the filter-paper activity (FPA) reached 6.5 FPU ml-1, a value comparable to that induced by avicel. The enzyme-hydrolysis rate induced by steam-exploded corn stalks was 54.2%, representing a 28% improvement over that induced by avicel. The duckweed starch was hydrolyzed to glucose, which was subsequently used for biomass accumulation during the fermentation process. Furthermore, to optimize control of the fermentation process, a combined substrate of avicel and duckweed was used to induce cellulase production by T. reesei RUT C30. The cellulase production and hydrolysis rates for the combined substrate, compared with avicel alone, were 39.6% and 36.7% higher, respectively. The results of this study suggest that duckweed is a good inducer of cellulase production in T. reesei, and it might aid in decreasing the cost of lignocellulosic-material hydrolysis.

Office of Academic Affairs (OAA), Office of Student Life (OSL) and Information Technology Helpdesk (ITD) are support functions within a university which receives hundreds of email messages on the daily basis. A large percentage of emails received by these departments are frequent and commonly used queries or request for information. Responding to every query by manually typing is a tedious and time consuming task and an automated approach for email response suggestion can save lot of time.

Methods. We propose an application and solution approach for automatically generating and suggesting short email responses to support queries in a university environment. Our proposed solution can be used as one tap or one click solution for responding to various types of queries raised by faculty members and students in a university. We create a dataset for the application domain and make it publicly available. We apply a machine learning framework for classifying emails into categories such as office of academic affairs or information technology department. We apply a machine learning based classification approach for sub-category level classification also. We apply text pre-processing techniques, feature selection, support vector machine and naïve naive classifiers. We present an approach to overcome various natural language processing based challenges in the text.

Results. We conduct a series of experiments and evaluate the approach using confusion matrix and accuracy based metrics. We study the discriminatory power of features and compare their relevance for the classification task. Our experimental results reveal that the proposed approach is effective. We conclude from our experiments that discriminatory features can be extracted from the text within our specific domain and automatic email response suggestion can be accurately created using machine learning algorithms and framework. We experiment with two different learning algorithms and observe that SVM outperforms Naïve Bayes. We achieve a classification accuracy of above $85\%$ for all the classes and sub-classes.

Discussion. Our experiments on email response suggestion are conducted on a corpus consists of short and frequent emails by a university function but the proposed approach and techniques can be generalized to other domains also. We observe that different classifiers give different results and there is a significant difference in the predictive power of features.
A spatial memory signal shows that the parietal cortex has access to a craniotopic representation of space

Humans effortlessly establish a gist-like memory of their environment whenever they enter a new place, a memory that can guide action even in the absence of vision. Neurons in the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) of the monkey exhibit a form of this environmental memory. These neurons respond when a monkey makes a saccade that brings the spatial location of a stimulus that appeared on a number of prior trials, but not on the present trial, into their receptive fields (RFs). The stimulus need never have appeared in the neuron’s RF. This memory response is usually weaker, with a longer latency than the neuron’s visual response. We suggest that these results demonstrate that LIP has access to a supraretinal memory of space, which is activated when the spatial location of the vanished stimulus can be described by a retinotopic vector from the center of gaze to the remembered spatial location.

Background

In this study, the long-term efficacy of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination was assessed using seroprevalence and an age–period–cohort (APC) model of HBV seromarkers among university entrants 30 years after the introduction of the national neonatal HBV vaccination program in Taiwan.

Methods

In total, data of 17,611 university entrants who underwent university entrance health examinations between 2005 and 2016 were included. The seroprevalence of the HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) and the levels of the antibody against the HBV surface antigen (anti-HBs) in each year group and sex were calculated. The levels of the antibody against the HBV core antigen were examined only for 2012 and 2016. The APC model was used to analyze the HBV carrier rates.

Results

The chronic HBV infection (HBsAg positivity) rate decreased from 9.7% in university students born before June 1974 to <1.0% in students born after 1992. The prevalence of anti-HBs positivity declined, particularly between the 1984–1988 cohort (78.2%–53.2%) and the 1990–1994 cohort (60.6%–44.4%). Our APC model revealed that the chronic HBV carrier rate among the student population was affected significantly by age, period, and cohort (P < 0.001).

Conclusions

HBV vaccination is one of the most effective strategies for preventing HBV infection. However, for complete eradication of HBV infection, the development of strategies that detect vaccination failure more effectively than current strategies do and early implementation of appropriate treatments are both necessary.
Postnatal depression is associated with detrimental life-long and multi-generational impacts on relationship quality
Authors: Myers Sarah , Johns Sarah E.
Published: February 2018

Postnatal depression (PND) is known to be associated with a range of detrimental child and adolescent outcomes, resulting from its disruptive impact on mother-child relationship quality. However, until now little has been known about the impact of PND on the longer-term relationships between mothers and their children, and any intergenerational effects this may have. Mother-child relationship quality is of interest from an evolutionary perspective as it plays a role in the accrual of offspring embodied capital, thus affecting offspring quality and offspring’s capacity to subsequently invest in their own children. Relationships with offspring also mediate grandparent-grandchild relations; if PND negatively affects long-term mother–offspring relationship quality, it is also likely to negatively affect grandmaternal investment via reduced grandmother–grandchild relationship quality. Here, we use responses to a retrospective questionnaire study of postmenopausal women, largely from the UK and US, to assess the impact of PND occurring in generation 1 on mother–child relationship quality across the life course of the child (generation 2) with whom it was associated, and also on the relationship quality with grandchildren (generation 3) from that child. Average mother-child relationship quality was lower when the child’s birth was associated with PND. Multi-level regression modelling found that mother-child relationship quality decreased as PND symptom severity increased after controlling for individual effects and a variety of other factors known to influence relationship quality (individual mothers n = 296, mother-child dyads n = 646). Additionally, intergenerational relationships appear to be affected, with PND negatively associated with grandmother-grandchild relations (individual grandmothers n = 125, relations with grandchildren from n = 197 grandmother-parent dyads). That PND has long-term detrimental consequences for mother-child relationships, well beyond adolescence, highlights the need for investment in strategies to prevent PND and its cascade of negative multigenerational effects.
Morphometric analysis of a triple negative breast cancer cell line in hydrogel and monolayer culture environments
Authors: Jogalekar Manasi P. , Serrano Elba E.
Published: February 2018

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a belligerent carcinoma that is unresponsive to targeted receptor therapies. Development of new treatment strategies would benefit from an expanded repertoire of in vitro cell culture systems, such as those that support tridimensional growth in the presence of hydrogel scaffolds. To this end, we established protocols for maintenance of the TNBC cell line HCC70 in monolayer culture and in a commercially available basement membrane matrix hydrogel. We evaluated the general morphology of cells grown in both conditions with light microscopy, and examined their subcellular organization using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Phase contrast and confocal microscopy showed the prevalence of irregularly shaped flattened cells in monolayer cultures, while cells maintained in hydrogel organized into multi-layered spheroids. A quantitative ultrastructural analysis comparing cells from the two culture conditions revealed that cells that formed spheroids comprised a greater number of mitochondria, autophagic vacuoles and intercellular junctions than their monolayer counterparts, within the equivalent area of sampled tissue. These observations suggest that triple negative breast cancer cells in culture can alter their organelle content, as well as their morphology, in response to their microenvironment. Methods presented here may be useful for those who intend to image cell cultures with TEM, and for investigators who seek to implement diverse in vitro models in the search for therapeutic molecular targets for TNBC.

PROPRIEDADE INTELECTUAL? NÃO OBRIGADO. A INOVAÇÃO NA ECONOMIA CRIATIVA
Authors: Gontijo Renata
Published: February 2018

A economia criativa tem se mostrado, a cada dia, mais geradora de bens de consumo práticos, temporais e autorais. Como algumas dessas breves soluções se transformam em artefatos de mercado, é objetivo deste texto compreender [discutir] a inovação em dois casos: o lucky iron fish e a lâmpada de Moser, verificando porque os autores dessas produções vernaculares não fizeram uso de um sistema de propriedade intelectual para proteger a sua criação. Para tanto, a metodologia qualitativa envolveu tres estratégias: pesquisa bibliográfica, análise do artefato, e análise de sua efetiva utilização pela comunidade. Os resultados evidenciaram que o artefato vernacular foi apresentado como uma inovação social e, por causa disto mesmo, não houve a preocupação com a devida proteção legal.
