Philosophical representations on evil in the works of classicists of German idealism
Authors: Gorokhov Pavel Aleksandrovich , Yuzhaninova Ekaterina Rafaelevna
Published: April 2020

The object of this research is the philosophical heritage of German idealism, while the subject is the philosophical views of the prominent representatives of German idealism upon evil and its dialectical correlation with the good. The article solves two key problems: 1) analyze and compare the views of classicists of German idealism upon the essence and main manifestations of evil; 2) determine the genesis of the views of Kant, Hegel, Fichte and Schelling, as well as the ways and degree of their influence upon further development of perceptions on evil within world philosophy. Research methodology is based on the historical-philosophical and comparative-historical analysis, culturological approach, and philosophical comparativism. The representatives of German idealism associated a range of negative in the ethical aspect qualities with a human. Their reasoning on good and evil were tightly related with comprehension of socio-historical problems of the past and modernity. Evil was viewed as an essential consort of social progress, while overcoming of evil by each individual was understood as a booster of spiritual growth and improvement. In evolution of views of the European philosopher on the nature of evil, the author clearly traces the genetic link from Jakob Böhme through fundamental works of the classicists of German idealism to the writings of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who synthesized and advanced to a new artistic and intellectual level the ideas of European philosophy.

The article presents the educational component overview of the solid waste management and treatment system. The need for education in this area is caused by the crisis environmental situation in Ukraine and significant reforms in the legislative and regulatory sphere of waste management. The result of the educational process is the acquisition of relevant competences, in particular, in matters of municipal solid waste management and treatment.
The peculiarities of competence formation in the area of municipal solid waste management and treatment according to the updated list of the European Union countries key competences are outlined in paper. The process of competence formation begins with the knowledge and skills acquisition, on the basis of which the way of thinking is formed. The system model of environmental situation formation and the importance of personal contribution to the municipal solid waste problem solution are the basic foundation in teaching and mastering of this topic. Municipal solid waste education should be permanent and cover all categories of recipients - from citizens to professionals with a gradual increase in environmental competence and maturity. The paper presents the experience of the Odessa State Environmental University on education in the municipal solid waste management and treatment area. All types of education are implemented at the university: formal, non-formal and informal, involving all categories of educational recipients. The main subject of the educational process is the lecture interacting with other groups of educational seekers. This leads to the need for continuous teacher education, which is realized through participation in researches, conferences, seminars, trainings and, most importantly, through practical experience

Published: April 2020

Remote sensing techniques obtain essential information about the biophysical parameters at the interface earth's surface and atmosphere that are important for observing the vegetation conditions in the different land uses and occupations, especially in survey directed to hydrographic basins. The objective of this study was to evaluate the spatial distribution of biophysical parameters in the Ipanema River basin by remote sensing. An image of Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS satellite was used, on the date of passage November 14, 2015, covering the all study area of Ipanema River basin, located in the Brazilian semiarid region. The image was processed by ERDAS IMAGINE® 9.1 Software. Radiometric calibration and conversion to radiance and reflectance were performed with the surface data using the SEBAL algorithm. The meteorological data were collected from an automatic station belonging to INMET, located in the study area. The thematic maps of the biophysical parameters albedo, land surface temperature (Tsup) and the radiation balance (Rn) were processed by ArcGIS® 10.2.2 Software. The descriptive statistics were used to determine the differences of these parameters in relation to the local climate of the region and anthropic actions. Radiation balance (Rn) was closely related to the albedo spatial patterns and surface temperature. The highest values of Rn were represented by the lowest albedo values. The results obtained corroborate with those present in the literature and show spectral behavior typical of targets that integrate the classes of land use and occupation in the semiarid region during the dry season, evidencing that the SEBAL algorithm can be used with great potential for estimation of radiation balance.
Analysis of the urban heat island in representative points of the city of Bayeux / PB
Authors: Da Silva Amanda Mayara Paulino
Published: April 2020

Abstrat Urban growth has generated several socio-environmental problems and has altered the quality of life of people living in these environments. Due to the disorderly growth of cities and the various forms of urban land use and occupation, changes in the thermal field of these areas have occurred and caused the formation of urban heat islands and thermal discomfort in urban environments. Thus, the need to understand the formation of heat islands in these areas and the study of their causes and consequences grows. Given this context, the present work intends to study the urban climate of the city of Bayeux / PB, specifically the urban thermal field, and the formation of heat islands. For the accomplishment of the research, initially a bibliographical survey of the subject in question was made. Subsequently experimental points of meteorological data collection (temperature and relative air humidity) were defined in the metropolitan area of the city of João Pessoa, specifically in the municipality of Bayeux / PB. These points were defined based on the different types of land use and cover in the study area. The following experimental points were defined: a point in the center of the city of Bayeux / PB, another point on the banks of the BR230 direction Bayeux, and a reference point in a remnant of Atlantic forest. To obtain the urban heat island the reference point was used as a parameter of the climatic conditions of a natural environment. The data of temperature and relative humidity were collected through thermometers (HOBO U-10), which were placed on steel tripods (1.5 meters high) and monitored at uninterrupted intervals of 1 and 1 hour during the dry period and rainy region. The analysis of the data points to the formation of urban heat islands in the two periods evaluated in the city of Bayeux / PB, being the center of the city, the most critical area with the most intense heat islands. The vegetative cover played a predominant role in the climatic mitigation of the experimental samples as well as the presence of precipitation. The areas with impermeable soil cover presented the largest heat islands and contributed to the thermal discomfort of the study area. Keywords: Urban Climate, Thermodynamic Field, Urban Heat Island.
Phenological Dynamics of Vegetation Using the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) in Regions of Bahia State
Authors: De Brito Costa Wanessa Luana , Braga Célia Campos , Alcântara Clênia Rodrigues , Costa Adriana de Souza
Published: April 2020

The purpose of this study is to analyze the dynamics of EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index) variability in different time scales of the different biomes in the state of Bahia. Images of the MODIS / Terra (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) sensor with spatial resolution of 1km were used for the period between 2001 and 2015. For that, the methodology of the Wavelet Transformation (WT) was applied in each homogeneous region HR. The WT allows to identify in different scales important oscillations in the signal, through scales of energy and global power. Thus, it can be observed that the phenological pattern of vegetation predominates on an annual scale in almost all regions, except in HR1, HR4 and HR6 where interactions with smaller scales are detected: intrasazonal and seasonal to some years in the studied period. In this context, it was possible to identify that in the years where there were higher rates of EVI, there is an association with higher rainfall indices in different regions. Therefore, it can be said that EVI is also a good indicator of rainfall.
Application of the Bayesian statistical approach to develop a Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) pavement performance model
Authors: Joshaghani Alireza
Published: April 2020

Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) has not been widely used in the pavement industry, and there are no detailed design specifications for this type of asphalt. Therefore, long-term performance data is not available widely, and no performance model has been developed for SMA. The main purpose of this study was to integrate expert knowledge (using the Markov-chain process) and experimental data from field investigations to propose a performance model for SMA through the incorporation of the Bayesian technique. The combination of these sources of data resulted in an efficient and effective method to develop a performance model for this type of pavement, which did not have a long-term performance database. As a result, a robust linear performance model was established to predict the service life of SMA. The service life of SMA can be estimated explicitly according to the developed performance model which has been validated using a new set of data.

Authors: Prajapati Mayank , Rimza Sandeep
Published: April 2020

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the most adaptable additive manufacturing method owing to the cost-effectiveness and environment-friendly nature. However, FDM technique still possesses major difficulties in terms of poor surface quality because of adding layer by layer manufacturing process for the prototypes. It is desirable to explore an efficient technique for FDM parts to enhance the poor surface quality and dimensions precision. In the present paper, an effort has been made to enhance the surface quality and optimize the critical processing parameter of FDM based benchmark using vapor smoothing process (VSP). A comparative experimental study has been performed by design of experiments (DOE), Taguchi technique to find the influence of input design parameters on the surface finish of benchmark FDM parts. The results of the present investigation show that VSP treatment improves the surface quality of FDM parts to micro level with negligible dimensional variation. It is observed that improved surface quality is found in the 1,2, -Dichloroethane chemical at 90° part build orientation, 0.25 mm layer thickness, 10% fill density and 90 second exposure times.

The Case for Cognitive Interviewing in Survey Item Validation: A Useful Approach for Improving the Measurement and Assessment of Substance Use Disorders
Authors: Boness Cassandra L. , Sher Kenneth J.
Published: April 2020

Background: In order to accurately identify substance use disorders, we must be confident of our ability to define and measure the construct itself. To date, research has demonstrated that the ways in which substance use disorder criteria are operationalized or assessed can significantly impact the information we obtain from these diagnoses. For example, differing operationalizations of the same construct (e.g., impaired control over substance use) can result in markedly different estimates of prevalence. This points to the need for approaches that aim to improve the validity of diagnostic assessments during the measure development phase. Methods: We performed a scoping review of the cognitive interviewing literature, a technique that aims to provide a systematic way to identify and reduce measurement error associated with the structure and content of interview items. Along with this, we present an applied example with alcohol tolerance. Findings: We argue that cognitive interviewing is well suited for improving the validity of substance use disorder assessment items. Conclusions: We suggest that cognitive interviewing be incorporated in the item generation stage of measure development for substance use disorder assessments.

Published: April 2020

The context-dependent memory effect, in which memory for an item is better when the retrieval context matches the original learning context, has proved to be difficult to reproduce in a laboratory setting. In an effort to identify a set of features that generate a robust context-dependent memory effect, we developed a paradigm in virtual reality using two semantically distinct virtual contexts: underwater and Mars environments, each with a separate body of knowledge (schema) associated with it. We show that items are better recalled when retrieved in the same context as the study context; we also show that the size of the effect is larger for items deemed context-relevant at encoding, highlighting the importance of integrating items into an active schema in generating this effect.
Very Light Daily Smoking in Young Adults: Relationships Between Nicotine Dependence and Lapse
Authors: Ashe Melinda L. , Wilson Stephen Jeffrey
Published: April 2020

Introduction: Very light daily smoking is increasingly common among young adults. Evidence suggests that levels of nicotine dependence vary significantly among young adults who engage in very light daily smoking. However, the links between dependence and clinically relevant outcomes (e.g., lapse) in this population remain unclear. The goal of this study was to address this gap by evaluating how well different nicotine dependence scales predict lapse behavior among very light daily smoking young adults. Methods: Very light daily smokers (1-5 cigarettes/day) aged 18-25 participated in an initial laboratory session, during which nicotine dependence was assessed using four commonly used measures: the Fagerstrӧm Test for Cigarette Dependence (FTCD), the Hooked On Nicotine Checklist (HONC), the Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Centers (TTURC) Nicotine Dependence Inventory, and the Wisconsin Inventory of Smoking Dependence Motives (WISDM). After a baseline period, eligible participants (n=40) completed a 10-day abstinence incentive period in which they attempted to refrain from smoking to earn monetary rewards. Cox proportional hazards models were used to test whether dependence predicted days to first lapse. Results: FTCD scores significantly predicted days to lapse, as did scores on the FTCD item assessing time to first cigarette of the day (TTFC). No other dependence measures predicted time to lapse. Both the FTCD and TTFC continued to independently predict time to lapse after controlling for smoking frequency and duration. Conclusions: The FTCD may be a particularly useful tool for capturing clinically meaningful variability in nicotine dependence among young adults who engage in very light daily smoking.

Published: April 2020

This article examines the historical discourse relating to
the field of art education in New South Wales from the
nineteenth through to the late twentieth century. While
discussing antecedent historiography relating to the history of
art education in Australia, it argues that the tasks associated
with that history are incomplete. By focusing on the system of
art education in New South Wales, the paper refers to the
differences between specific state-based systems of art
education in Australia. It indicates the advantages of
recognizing the effect of sexual, ideological, psychological,
and other social and educational practices when writing
historical material about art education. It introduces evidence
that some of the most common perceptions of the history of
Australian art education require more detailed scrutiny.

Published: April 2020

A cogent synthesis of completely new compound series of by 6-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro pyrimidine-2(1H)-one (Biginelli reaction) was achieved by continue heating of (E)-1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-(substituted phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one and urea for 5 hours with 40% KOH and ethyl alcohol. (E)-1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-(substituted phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is produced by Claisen-Schmidt Condensation. In this condensation 1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethanone and different aldehyde are mixed. All the novel compound series were characterized by infrared and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopic techniques and by elemental analyses. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activity
Fatigue Properties of Cruciform and Flange-gusset Joints Using Normal and High Strength Steels
Authors: Mecséri Balázs József , Kövesdi Balázs
Published: April 2020

The objective of this paper is to investigate and compare the fatigue behavior of Normal Strength Steel (NSS) and High Strength Steel (HSS) welded specimens (cruciform and flange gusset joints). Numerous specimens were tested in the framework of the research project. The experimental S-N curves of the test specimens are determined and analyzed by mathematical statistics to consider the uncertainties and scatter of test results. Statistical analysis of the S-N curves showed that the fatigue behavior of as-welded flange gusset joints is identical in the cases of HSS and NSS specimens, which means that there is no difference in the fatigue lifetime depending on the steel grade. However, the as-welded HSS cruciform joints can be more favorable and their fatigue lifetime is longer than the specimens made from NSS, if the stress range is below 100 MPa. The current study shows that the fatigue behavior of as-welded HSS details depends on the geometry of the investigated specimens and its fatigue lifetime can be larger in the small stress range region than for NSS specimens.

O presente artigo visa compreender as imagens do ataque às torres gêmeas em 2001 por pressupostos teóricos que levem em consideração tanto um aspecto afetivo delas, como suas materialidades anacrônicas. Valendo-se dos estudos do teórico alemão Aby Warburg (bem como de seus comentadores – Didi-Huberman, Carlo Ginzburg, Philippe Alain-Michaud), o artigo parte do lugar de que as imagens do onze de setembro marcam o século XXI como nenhum outro grupo de imagens. Entretanto, ao redor delas, gravitam outras imagens que juntas apresentam uma cultura visual relativa a um fim de mundo. Portanto, se valendo de um método associativo imagético, o artigo investiga exemplos do cinema, da pintura e da fotografia, em relação com as imagens do 11 de setembro, no intuito de debater suas materialidades e as diversas pontes culturais e históricas que um pensamento por imagem nos permite construir.
Critical Components of Formative Assessment in
Process‑Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning for Online Labs
Authors: Purkayastha Saptarshi , Surapaneni Asha K. , Maity Pallavi , Rajapuri Anushri S. , Gichoya Judy W.
Published: April 2020

In the traditional lab setting, it is reasonably
straightforward to monitor student learning and provide ongoing
feedback. Such formative assessments can help students identify
their strengths and weaknesses, and assist faculty to recognize
where students are struggling and address problems immediately. But
in an online virtual lab setting, formative assessment has
challenges that go beyond space‑time synchrony of online classroom.
As we see increased enrollment in online courses, learning science
needs to address the problem of formative assessment in online
laboratory sessions. We developed a student team learning monitor
(STLM module) in an electronic health record system to measure
student engagement and actualize the social constructivist approach
of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL). Using iterative
Plan‑Do‑Study‑Act cycles in two undergraduate courses over a period
of two years, we identified critical components that are required
for online implementation of POGIL. We reviewed published research
on POGIL classroom implementations for the last ten years and
identified some common elements that affect learning gains. We
present the critical components that are necessary for implementing
POGIL in online lab settings, and refer to this as Cyber POGIL.
Incorporating these critical components are required to determine
when, how and the circumstances under which Cyber POGIL may be
successfully implemented. We recommend that more online tools be
developed for POGIL classrooms, which evolve from just providing
synchronous communication to improved task monitoring and assistive
feedback.

Teladan Maria sebagai bunda, model dan guru ini direfleksikan dan ditandaskan dalam dokumen-dokumen sejak Konsili Vatikan II yang berbicara mengenai pembinaan imam. Artikel ini merupakan refleksi atas kehadiran dan peran Maria dalam pembinaan imam khususnya dalam era revolusi 4.0 berdasarkan dokumen-dokumen tersebut.

Abstract

Formation of priests is an important element in the Catholic Church because priests become living instruments of salvation while being at the forefront of pastoral work. In the context of a life that is always changing and developing, priests are required to resemble Christ, the Head and the Shepherd. Mary's presence and role in the formation of priests have always been a reality throughout the ages. Because there is an essential relationship between Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the priestly ministry of her Son, based on the relationship between Mary's divine motherhood and the Priesthood of Christ. Mary's example as a mother, model and teacher has been reflected upon and emphasized since the Second Vatican Council in documents dealing with priestly formation. This article is a reflection on the presence and role of Mary in the formation of priests, especially in the era of revolution 4.0 based on these documents.

Published: April 2020

Pada dewasa ini, selain besi, aluminium merupakan logam yang paling banyak digunakan di sektor industri dibandingkan dengan logam lain, salah satunya sebagai kemasan. Kemasan yang terbuat dari aluminium ini banyak digunakan untuk mengemas produk makanan dan minuman, yang jika sudah digunakan isinya, maka wadah kemasan ini akan menjadi sampah. Sampah ini termasuk sampah anorganik yang tidak akan terurai secara alami dan memerlukan pengolahan tertentu untuk menguraikannya. Proses pengambilan kembali aluminium dari limbah ini dilakukan dengan metode gravimetri yaitu melarutkan limbah tersebut dengan HCl 18%. Untuk memisahkan ion-ion yang tidak diinginkan, maka digunakan pereaksi tambahan seperti asam suksinat 5%, 2 gram urea dan 5 gram ammonium klorida. Untuk menghilangkan kandungan air dari endapan maka dilakukan proses pembakaran. Pembakaran ini juga berfungsi untuk menghasilkan endapan murni yang diperoleh dari proses pengambilan aluminium sebagai alumina dari limbah kemasan tersebut. Pada suhu ruang (27oC), HCl 18% merupakan pelarut yang baik untuk melarutkan sampel yang mengandung aluminium. Alumina terbanyak didapat dari sampel yang berbentuk pizza pans yaitu 8,8203 gram dari 5 gram sampel, dengan persentase aluminium sebesar 93,39%.

Objetivo: A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo identificar o conhecimento dos profissionais enfermeiros que atuam na classificação de risco sobre violência física no seu ambiente de trabalho, bem como conhecer a atitude desses profissionais frente a esse caso de violência. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, descritiva e qualitativa, com enfermeiros de uma Unidade de Pronto Atendimento (UPA), em uma cidade localizada na região centro-sul do Ceará, no período de agosto e setembro de 2019, mediante a aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado, garantindo o sigilo e a privacidade dos participantes, respeitando a resolução 466/12, que trata sobre as pesquisas com seres humanos. Participaram do estudo oito enfermeiros. Resultados: Os dados foram analisados mediante as propostas de Minayo para pesquisas qualitativas e discutidos com literatura pertinente. Inicialmente realizou-se um diagnóstico socioeconômico dos participantes. Diante dos achados, pode-se perceber a tamanha dimensão e complexidade da violência física que os enfermeiros em Unidades de Pronto Atendimento vivenciam diariamente. A violência laboral é perceptível principalmente em serviços de urgência e emergência e sobretudo voltada aos profissionais de enfermagem em virtude da quantidade de tempo que permanecem com o paciente, bem como por realizarem a classificação de risco nesses serviços. Conclusão: Logo, percebeu-se que a violência no trabalho em saúde, e especificamente em enfermagem, vem se tornando um problema de saúde pública e que a violência ocupacional pode ser prejudicial à saúde e à carreira dos trabalhadores de enfermagem. E que, embora a sociedade venha sofrendo várias mudanças, os pensamentos e atitudes violentas estão cada vez mais presentes na nossa realidade.

REDUCTION OF SOME HEAVY ELEMENTS FROM POLLUTED WATER USING THE BIOLOGICAL ADSORPTION TECHNQUE BY DRY ALGAE
Authors: & et al. Al-Qaisi
Published: April 2020

The biological adsorption technique was used with the powder of (Chara virgata, Cladophora  fuebllornei) algae with a dry weight of 0.5 g to treat water contaminated with heavy elements of lead, cadmium, copper, chromium and iron at the two following different locations in Baghdad: Al- Waziriyah Batteries factory, and Tanning & Leather Factory. The experiments were performed at a pH 6 and at a speed of 100 rpm in an electric vibrator. The chara virgata showed high removal ratios 100% of lead, cadmium, and iron respectively in the first half hour of the experiment, while the chromium and copper removal rates ranged from 74.6-100%, 73.2-100% with 0.5-3 hour treatment time respectively. The results of Cladophora fuebllornii were different for the chromium element with removal rates ranging from 77.7-100% and with a treatment time of 0.5-2 hours respectively .Copper removal rates ranged between 83.6-100% and 0.5-1.5 hours. Lead, cadmium, and iron also had 100% removal rates, respectively within the first half hour of the experiment. The analysis of the infrared device (FTIR) for the sample of the two-algae used in the experiments proved the presence of the active groups in the cellular walls of each alga, namely carboxyl, hydroxyl, alkyl, amine, and amide groups, which are responsible for bonding heavy element that present in the polluted water.
Age Management Medicine and Applied Healthspan Engineering: closely connected

All organisms have a minimal level of functional reserve required to sustain life that eventually declines to a point incompatible with survival at death. AHE seeks to maintain or restore the optimal functional reserve of critical tissues and organs. Tissue reserve correlates with well being. Diet, physical exercise, and currently available small molecule based therapeutics may attenuate the rate of decline of specific organs or organ systems, but are unlikely to restore lost reserve. Inherent evolutionary-derived limitations in tissue homeostasis and cell maintenance necessitate the development of therapies to enhance regenerative processes and possibly replace whole organs or tissues. AHE supports the study of the cell, tissue, and organ homeostatic mechanisms to derive new regenerative and tissue replacement therapies to extend the period of human health.

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the vitamin D blood dosage during the three gestational trimesters, while identifying the frequency of pregnant women in the normal range, the variance in the three periods and evaluate the association between vitamin D and the obstetric complications such as preeclampsia, diabetes, and weight of the newborn.

Methods: This is a longitudinal study with pregnant and non-pregnant women, from which there was collected data of anamneses, physical exam, obstetric info, as well as milk consumption habits, sunscreen and sun exposure, and also the vitamin D blood dosage.

Results: There were 91 Pregnant Women studied, from whom the comparison between the vitamin D dosages identified the absence of gestation as a protective factor for VDD; the tendency for lower levels of supplementations when the workplace is in an external environment; the association between vitamin D and pre-eclampsia in the first trimester.

Conclusion: The most relevant consequences from VDD were pre-eclampsia in the first trimester, the absence of gestation as a protective factor for VDD, and the need to consider the workplace before supplementation.
Regional Innovation Systems and Global Production Networks: Two Views on the Source of Competitiveness in the Present-Day World?
Authors: Blažek Jiří
Published: April 2020

The aim of this article is three-fold. First, to discuss differences between the two major conceptualisations which are driving contemporary regional research in Europe and beyond. Second, to examine the contribution of the so-called “Albertov School” of Czech geography to the fore-mentioned debates. And finally, to set an agenda for future research. This investigation confirms that several decades isolation of the “Albertov School” has, to a significant extent, been overcome already. Moreover, the functioning of Czech society and its accompanying economy resembles that of developed countries and, in this sense, the specifics of the transformation processes are becoming secondary in relevance. Consequently, the basic orientation of research is being increasingly inspired by state-of-the-art regional studies. Nevertheless, several significant imbalances in current research have been identified. Therefore, this article outlines key challenges for future research.
The distinctive assembly pattern of ε subunit in ternary α1β3ε and binary β3ε GABAA receptors

Published: April 2020

Among all GABAA receptor subunits, ε subunit is a more recent discovery. ε subunit-containing GABAA receptors exhibit spontaneous channel activity, rapid desensitisation, low sensitivity to Zn2+, smaller GABAmediated current amplitudes and an insensitivity to benzodiazepines, despite displaying an agonistic effect at higher benzodiazepine concentrations. The promiscuous role of the ε subunit, co-assembling with other subunits forming GABAARs, may add to the complexities of the pharmacological properties of GABAARs; however, these varying pharmacological responses can be used to distinguish varying subunit combinations of these receptors. Using two electrode voltage-clamped electrophysiology, we investigated the GABAA α1β3ε and β3ε receptors and explored the effects of different stoichiometries of these receptor subtypes by varying the relative ratios of α1/β3/ε (for α1β3ε receptors) and β3/ε (for β3ε receptors) subunit complementary RNA injections into Xenopus laevis oocytes. We discovered the existence of different populations of GABAA α1β3ε and β3ε receptors, due to subunit ratio variation, in which receptors formed at each injection ratio showed different level of GABA sensitivities, spontaneous current activities and Zn2+ mediated current inhibition. These unique pharmacological features are tightly associated with various subtypes of GABAA receptors contributed by the unique assembly pattern of ε subunit.

α-Terpineol is a monoterpene naturally present in essential oils, of high value on the market as it is a compound widely used as a flavoring, aromatic substance in the cosmetics and food industry. This study aims to produce α-terpineol by two different synthetic strategies, using both batch and continuous flow systems, focusing on the optimization of the process, improving the reaction conversion and selectivity. The first strategy adopted was a one-stage hydration reaction of α-pinene by an aqueous solution of chloroacetic acid (molar ratio 1:1 between pinene and the acid) in continuous flow conditions. This reaction was carried out at 80 ºC with a residence time of 15 min, obtaining good values of conversion (72 %) and selectivity (76 %), and productivity of 0.67 Kg.day-1. The second strategy accomplished was a two-step cascade reaction with limonene as starting material, where the first step is a chemo specific double bond addition using trifluoroacetic acid, and the second step is the basic hydrolysis of the ester promoted by a solution of sodium hydroxide (2.25 M) in methanol (1:1). This reaction was adapted to a continuous flow condition, where all steps happen in a residence time of 40 min, at 25 ºC, with no quenching between steps required, giving a conversion of 97 % and selectivity of 81 %, with productivity of 0.12 Kg.day-1.

Authors: Inam Mohammad Ilias
Published: April 2020

The effect of angle of rotation on laminar natural convection inside the square cavity have been observed in this research. It was assumed that left and right walls heated isothermally, whereas other two walls act as adiabatic. This problem was solved by assuming 2-D and by Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) method using ANSYS Fluent 16.0. A series of DNS simulation were carried out for different inclination angle (𝜃 = 0°~90°) of the cavity at Ra = 103 & 104. It was observed that at average Nusselt number increase up to some value of angle of inclination after that it decrease though this variation is not significant.
