Piles and lateral loads: comparison of calculation methods
Authors: Kurguzov Konstantin V. , Fomenko Igor K.
Published: November 2019

Introduction. Calculation and analysis of pile resistance to loads remains to be a relevant problem in geoengineering. The design of pile foundations is currently performed using diverse analytical, empirical and numerical methods. However, the reliability of these methods remains to be a topic of interest among researchers and designers. This research paper analyses methods used for calculating the lateral-load capacity of piles in comparison with field-test data. Materials and methods. The paper dwells upon the development of reliable analytical expressions based on mathematical models of the pile–soil interaction. Main existing mathematical models of the soil environment, including the Mohr – Coulomb elastic ideal plastic model and the hardening soil model (HSM) were analysed. A particular attention was paid to a variety of factors affecting the pile–soil interaction, such as natural factors, pile types, pile sinking depth and technology, configurations of loads, as well as time-changed processes. A comparison of methods for calculating the lateral-load capacity of piles was conducted. To that end, calculations using the Mohr – Coulomb model and the local elastic strain theory (still required by building codes) were performed. High-level solid elements were used to develop and compute a finite-element pile-in-soil model in a spatial setting. Another model on the basis of parametric pile elements was designed using the MIDAS software. Results. It is established that the use of numerical calculation methods for evaluating the capacity and movements of pile foundations provides results comparable to those of field tests. These methods demonstrate a higher reliability compared to standardized analytical techniques. Conclusions. The reliability of numerical calculations of pile resistance to lateral impact is shown to be sufficiently high, thus being feasible for use in geoengineering. The use of these methods should be based on advanced non-linear soil models, such as HS, CamClay, etc.
Individual and dyadic continuous risk-based decision making: Changes and differences
Authors: Sui Yujia , Tan Hongying , Li Di
Published: November 2019

We used the Balloon Analogue Risk Task to study the changes and differences in risk preference between individuals and dyads in successive loss and gain contexts. Regardless of who was making the decision, the degree of risk taking after the first gain was significantly higher than
that after the first loss, whereas the degree of risk taking after successive gains was significantly lower than that after successive losses. Further, risk preference increased after successive losses, and the increase was smaller for a dyad than for an individual, meaning the dyad’s
decision making was more rational. Participants’ risk preference decreased after successive gains, and the extent of the decrease was larger for a dyad than that for an individual, meaning that individuals’ decision making was more rational. These findings indicate that the rational
performance of both individuals and dyads in continuous risk decision making varies according to their gains or losses.
Parent–adolescent communication and Chinese adolescents’ self-esteem: A cross-lagged model
Authors: Zhang Yang , Huang Jie , Wang Yonghui
Published: November 2019

We investigated the reciprocal relationship between parent–adolescent communication and adolescents’ self-esteem with a sample of 296 Chinese junior middle school students over a course of approximately 3 months, using an autoregressive cross-lagged model. The results showed
that both parent–adolescent communication and adolescent self-esteem had invariant autoregressive effects over the 3 months. In addition, parent–adolescent communication had a significant crosslagged effect on adolescent self-esteem and vice versa, indicating reciprocal effects
between parent–adolescent communication and adolescent self-esteem over time. Our findings suggest that multilevel intervention incorporating individual counseling and family intervention is more effective in improving parent–adolescent communication and adolescent self-esteem
than either individual counseling or family intervention alone.

OBJECTIVE

To assess weight and HbA1c changes in the Healthier You: National Health Service Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP), the largest DPP globally to achieve universal population coverage.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A service evaluation assessed intervention effectiveness for adults with nondiabetic hyperglycemia (HbA1c 42–47 mmol/mol [6.0–6.4%] or fasting plasma glucose 5.5–6.9 mmol/L) between program launch in June 2016 and December 2018, using prospectively collected, national service–level data in England.

RESULTS

By December 2018, 324,699 people had been referred, 152,294 had attended the initial assessment, and 96,442 had attended at least 1 of 13 group-based intervention sessions. Allowing sufficient time to elapse, 53% attended an initial assessment, 36% attended at least one group-based session, and 19% completed the intervention (attended >60% of sessions). Of the 32,665 who attended at least one intervention session and had sufficient time to finish, 17,252 (53%) completed: intention-to-treat analyses demonstrated a mean weight loss of 2.3 kg (95% CI 2.2, 2.3) and an HbA1c reduction of 1.26 mmol/mol (1.20, 1.31) (0.12% [0.11, 0.12]); completer analysis demonstrated a mean weight loss of 3.3 kg (3.2, 3.4) and an HbA1c reduction of 2.04 mmol/mol (1.96, 2.12) (0.19% [0.18, 0.19]). Younger age, female sex, Asian and black ethnicity, lower socioeconomic status, and normal baseline BMI were associated with less weight loss. Older age, female sex, black ethnicity, lower socioeconomic status, and baseline overweight and obesity were associated with a smaller HbA1c reduction.

CONCLUSIONS

Reductions in weight and HbA1c compare favorably with those reported in recent meta-analyses of pragmatic studies and suggest likely future reductions in participant type 2 diabetes incidence.

Influenza di esposizione ed altitudine sulla distribuzione della vegetazione seriale nelle Alpi Orobie (Lombardia, Italia). Elevation and exposition influence on vegetation serial distribution in Orobie Alps (Lombardia, Italy)
Authors: Castoldi Elena , Molina José A.
Published: November 2019

Italiano.  Il presente lavoro si occupa di indagare gli effetti che l’esposizione e l’altitudine esercitano sulle formazioni erbacee ed arbustive della Val Varrone, valle prealpina orientale del bacino imbrifero del lago di Como. Tramite cluster analysis sono stati caratterizzati 6 aggruppamenti vegetali attribuibili a 6 associazioni fitosociologiche. Gli aggruppamenti sono stati poi caratterizzati dal punto di vista ecologico, d’accordo con i parametri di Landolt. Dall’analisi dell’assolazione, tramite la formula di Bartorelli, le comunità vegetali vengono distribuite spazialmente nel territorio. L’associazione Centaureo –Arrhenatheretum è diffusa a basse quote principalmente su versanti con esposizione meridionale. L’associazione Festucetum variae, invece, è stata rilevata ad altitudini piú elevate, sempre con esposizione sud. In corrispondenza della fascia intermedia, l’associazione Homogyno alpinae-Nardetum presenta la maggior ampiezza altitudinale, le associazioni Rumicetum alpinii e Alnetum viridis prediligono fasce altitudinali meno ampie, mentre l’associazione Vaccinio-Rhododendretum ferrugineum cresce su pendii ripidi. La vegetazione seriale delle Alpi Orobie (lato orientale del lago di Como) risulta essere simile a quella dell’Alto Lario Occidentale (lato occidentale).English. The aim of this work is to seek the influence of certain geographical factors such as elevation and exposition on herbaceous and shrub vegetation in Val Varrone, a pre-alpine eastern valley of Como Lake drainage basin. Through cluster analysis were identified 6 vegetation groups, referable to 6 phytosociological associations. They were ecologically characterized according to Landolt parameters. Insolation analysis based on Bartorelli formulae revealed that vegetation types are spatially distributed in the area. The CentaureoArrhenatheretum association occurs at the lower altitudes, mainly on slopes with southern exposure. The Festucetum variae association, however, was found at higher altitudes, always facing south. At the mid-range, the Homogyno alpinae-Nardetum association presents the widest altitude, both the Rumicetum alpinii and Alnetum viridis associations prefer altitudinal belts less extensive, and finally the Vaccinio-Rhododendretum ferrugineum association grows on steep slopes. The vegetation of serial Orobie Alps (the eastern side of Como Lake) appears to be similar to the Alto Lario (west side).

Published: November 2019

Liver diseases have become a global concern worldwide. Liver injury or its dysfunction is a major health problem. The principal causative factors for liver injury are the availability of hepatotoxic drugs, alcohol consumption, infection, malnutrition, anemia etc. In the present study the hydroalcholic extract of some plants of northern India was evaluated for hepatoprotective activity against chronic paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The liver injury was induced by Paracetamol orally at a dose of 500 mg/kg, b.w for entire duration of study. The rats were divided in nine groups. Rats of group I served normal control and received distilled water. Rats of group II served as toxic control and received Paracetamol orally at a dose of 500 mg/kg, b.w of rats. Group III received Silymarin at a dose of 100 mg/kg b.w, and served as standard. The animals of groups IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX served as test control groups. Protective effect of the hydroalcholic extract was assessed by measuring the levels of serum biomarkers such as SGOT, SGPT, ALP, Bilirubin, serum albumin and total protein. Results of this study showed that the treatment of the hydroalcholic extract of plants at 400 mg/kg b.w, showed significant (*** p less than 0.001) reduction in elevated serum enzyme levels compared to paracetamol induced toxic group, indicating the protective role of plants extract against paracetamol induced chronic liver toxicity. Among the all plants Calotropis procera at a dose of 400 mg/kg, b.w showed the most significant hepatoprotective activity.

Published: November 2019

We report here a catalytic, Markovnikov selective, and scalable synthetic method for the synthesis of saturated sulfur heterocycles, which are found in the structures of pharmaceuticals and natural products, in one step from an alkenyl thioester. Unlike a potentially labile alkenyl thiol, an alkenyl thioester is stable and easy to prepare. The powerful Co catalysis via a cobalt hydride hydrogen atom transfer and radical-polar crossover mechanism enabled simultaneous cyclization and deprotection. The substrate scope was expanded by the extensive optimization of the reaction conditions and tuning of the thioester unit.
A General Techno-Economic Model for Evaluating Emerging Electrolytic Processes

Published: November 2019

Increasing societal concern about carbon emissions and the concomitant emergence of inexpensive renewable resources provide growing impetus for the electrification of the chemical industry. While there have been notable recent advances in the science and engineering of electrolytic processes, there are comparatively few engineering economic studies that outline the technical specifications needed to approach feasibility. Here we introduce an open-source techno-economic framework to connect system performance and price goals to the constituent materials property sets with a goal of quantifying the economic potential of existing and conceptual electrolytic processes. To validate the outputs and demonstrate the versatility of this toolkit, we explore three contemporary electrolyses of varying technology readiness levels. Specifically, we first benchmark our model results against the Department of Energy hydrogen analysis model, then evaluate the impact of mass transport and catalyst performance on the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, and chart a pathway to low-cost electrolytic production of phenol from guaiacol. As this model is based on generalized mass balances and electrochemical equations common to a number of electrochemical processes, it serves as an adaptable toolkit for researchers to evaluate new chemistries and reactor configurations as well as to back-translate system targets to interdependent materials-level property requirements.

Published: November 2019

With the rapidly growing interest in AR, grows the motivation to overcome some of the problems facing the implementations of the technology. The main challenge encountered in the building of large-scale mixed reality AR games is the uniqueness of the spatial settings in which the game will be experienced by the user. Game designers will require data of the spatial settings to determine game object placement, events and narrative flow. The problem arises because the designers are not aware of the physical environment in which the game will be played. In our research, we address this problem and take an approach to solving it by using Space Syntax techniques. We demonstrate the use of this technique, using a proof-of-concept game called Adventure AR.

Published: November 2019

Because of the commonness and extensive usage of online technology these days, mobile commerce is an emerging area of attraction for marketing research. Although there is a dearth of studies exploring the factors that influence on mobile commerce embracement and adoption through mobile applications in general, particularly the effect of mobile commerce adoption attitude using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) remains uncharted. The exploration of the technology acceptance factors is quite challenging and demanding primarily due to the reason that online population is widely dispersed and diversified in terms of their dynamics. Still this area remains a venture of curiosity to the marketers due to magnetism in its potential. Current research assist marketers by providing an insight into the factors that explains this scenario and the results could be used to capitalize the fast growing online market. Three hypothesis strongly validated the effect of perceived trust, perceived value and social influence on mobile commerce adoption while perceived self-efficacy was found to have a little effect on mobile commerce adoption. Predominantly, it was found that Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) remains most effective predictor to mobile commerce adoption. Current research could be used to comprehend and take advantage of key psychological attributes mentioned in the study to upsurge the volume of existing mobile commerce market.
Relação entre o Vapor D’Água Atmosférico e a Temperatura da Superfície do Mar Sobre a Região da Confluência Brasil-Malvinas, com Base em Dados Coletados In Situ (Relationship between Atmospheric Water Vapor Content and the Sea Surface Temperature in the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence considering Data Collected In Situ)
Authors: Freitas Rose Ane Pereira de , Souza Ronald Buss de , Reis Rafael Afonso do Nascimento
Published: November 2019

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a influência dos gradientes de TSM e da passagem de sistemas atmosféricos transientes sobre a região da Confluência Brasil-Malvinas (CBM) no Oceano Atlântico Sudoeste e descrever a variabilidade espacial e temporal da concentração de vapor d’água dentro da camada limite atmosférica marinha (CLAM). Os dados foram obtidos a partir de 130 perfis de radiossondas realizados durante dez cruzeiros oceanográficos feitos durante os meses de outubro e novembro entre 2004 e 2015. Os resultados mostram que os gradientes termais entre as águas quentes da Corrente do Brasil e as águas frias da Corrente das Malvinas foram capazes de produzir diferenças significativas no conteúdo de vapor d'água na CLAM nos dois lados da frente oceanográfica. Na superfície, o valor médio da umidade específica sobre o lado quente (frio) foi 8,4 ± 1,67 mm (7,08 ± 1,51 mm). Em todas as observações realizadas, a umidade integrada na CLAM foi diretamente influenciada pela advecção e pela passagem de sistemas atmosféricos transientes.  A B S T R A C TThe objective of this work was to analyze the influence of the SST gradients and the passage of transient atmospheric systems at the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence (BMC) region in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean, and to describe the spatial and temporal variability of the water vapor concentration within the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL). The data were obtained from 130 radiosondes profiles taken during ten oceanographic cruises carried out during the months of October and November between 2004 and 2015. The results show that the thermal gradients between the warm waters of Brazil Current and the cold waters of the Malvinas Current were able to produce significant differences in the water vapor content of the MABL on both sides of the oceanographic front. On the surface, the average of the specific humidity over the warm (cold) side was 8.4 ± 1.67 mm (7.08 ± 1.51 mm). In all the observations made, the water vapor integrated in the MABL was directly influenced by the advection and by the passage of transient atmospheric systems. Key words: Water Vapor; Brazil-Malvinas Confluence; Atmospheric boundary layer

Animals in the sanctuary. Mammal and fish bones from Areas D and C at the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Kalaureia. With an appendix by Adam Boethius
Authors: Mylona Dimitra , Boethius Adam
Published: November 2019

During the excavations at the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Kalaureia an extensive archaeo-environmental programme was implemented, resulting in the collection and analysis of a wide range of animal remains. This paper presents the mammal and fish remains in detail and offers interpretations which take into account the archaeology of the site, other types of finds, as well as the discourse on animals in cult. The material is examined in terms of chronological phases and of particular features within them in an attempt, common in all types of analysis within the Kalaureia Excavation Program, to link the material remains to human actions, placing emphasis on the materiality of cult. The degree of analysis and interpretation detail varies among different occupational phases of the sanctuary, because of the greatly uneven preservation and quantity of animal remains. In certain cases of disturbed deposits and poor preservation, such as the bones from the Archaic and Classical strata, the analysis is left open-ended and the interpretation is pending, in view of subsequent studies that will include contemporary material from other locations within the sanctuary. In other instances, however, where closed or well-defined deposits are available, detailed analysis of the zooarchaeological data was possible and meaningful.
Snakes and other microfaunal remains from the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Kalaureia
Authors: Lymberakis Petros , Iliopoulos Giorgos
Published: November 2019

The microfaunal remains recovered at the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Kalaureia (Poros island, Greece) are abundant and varied. They belong to a number of different animal taxa, including snakes, frogs, lizards, and some micromammals. They have been found in several locations but the largest concentration originates in a closed Late Hellenistic/Early Roman deposit within a cistern (Feature 03). The snakes in this assemblage are numerous, belonging to terrestrial and aquatic species, and to both venomous and non-venomous varieties. Bones of some of them along with certain frog bones show traces of burning, which may suggest some type of manipulation before the deposition. The microfaunal remains from the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Kalaureia also strongly suggest that these types of animal were involved in ritual activities—dead or alive.
