Cavum Septum Pellucidum, da embriologia à clínica: uma revisão da literatura
Authors: Martins Lia Pontes Lisboa , Leitão Antônio Miguel Furtado , Lucena Jalles Dantas de , Gondim Francisco de Assis Aquino
Published: January 2019

Introdução: O septo pelúcido (SP) é formado por duas lâminas neurais separadas, que se fundem após o nascimento. Quando não há fusão completa, tem-se a persistência do Cavum embriológico, que pode ser chamado Cavum Septum pellucidum (CSP), Cavum Vergae ou Cavum Septum pellucidum et Vergae (CSP et Vergae), dependendo da extensão anteroposterior. Embriologicamente, o CSP está relacionado à formação do corpo caloso e de outras estruturas cerebrais. O SP faz parte do sistema límbico, por isso há possibilidade de que Cava persistentes tenham repercussão nas funções neuropsíquicas. Objetivo: revisar a literatura sobre a formação e o significado clínico da persistência do CSP em adultos. Métodos: foi realizada revisão da literatura de artigos publicados na base de dados PUBMED, utilizando os descritores: “Cavum”, “Brain Cava” e “Cavum Septum Pellucidum”. Os artigos selecionados continham considerações sobre formação e possível significado clínico do CSP. Resultados e Discussão: CSP vestigiais são considerados como variantes da normalidade. Porém, vários estudos sugerem que a persistência de CSP com grandes dimensões pode representar uma disgenesia cerebral na linha média. Estudos tentam relacionar o CSP com múltiplos distúrbios neuropsiquiátricos, especialmente com esquizofrenia. De maneira geral, há relativo consenso de que os CSP alargados têm maior chance de representar significado patológico, embora suas manifestações não sejam bem reconhecidas. Conclusão: existem indícios de que CSP persistentes, quando alargados, podem manifestar-se como distúrbio neuropsíquico, de espectro ainda indefinido. Estudos em população geral ainda são escassos e com prevalências variadas. Trabalhos mais abrangentes são necessários para melhor entendimento de seu significado clínico.
Testing the robustness of final strictness in verse lines
Authors: DeCastro-Arrazola Varuṇ
Published: January 2019

In the field of metrics, it has long been observed that verse lines tend to be more regular or restricted towards the end (Arnold 1905). This has led to the Strict End Hypothesis [SEH], which proposes a general versification principle of universal scope (Hayes 1983). This paper argues that two main challenges hinder the substantiation of the SEH in a broad typological sample of unrelated verse corpora. First, the concept of strictness is too coarse and needs to be narrowed down to testable features or subcomponents. Second, explicit measures need to be developed which enable the systematic comparison of corpora, particularly when trying to capture potentially gradient features such as the relative faithfulness to a metrical template. This study showcases how to overcome these issues by analysing the entropy at different positions in the line for corpora in five languages (English, Dutch, Sanskrit, Estonian, Berber). Finally, I argue that, if the SEH is shown to be typologically robust, shared human cognitive features may provide a partial explanation for this puzzling asymmetry in verse lines.
Boolean Connexive Logics: Semantics and tableau approach
Authors: Jarmużek Tomasz , Malinowski Jacek
Published: January 2019

In this paper we define a new type of connexive logics which we call Boolean connexive logics. In such logics negation, conjunction and disjunction behave in the classical, Boolean way. We determine these logics through application of the relating semantics. In the final section we present a tableau approach to the discussed logics.
Frekwencja oraz funkcje przyimków złożonych i wtórnych w sprawozdaniach administracyjnych

Frequency and Functions of Compound and Complex Prepositions in Administrative ReportsThis paper examines the distribution and functions of compound and complex prepositions in Polish and EU administrative reports. The analysis is conducted in the corpus-based methodology using corpora of reports drafted by the Polish ministries and by the European Commission, and a large reference corpus – the National Corpus of Polish. The findings of the study show that in comparison to the reference corpus, reports demonstrate a strong tendency to use compound and complex prepositions. It is argued that frequent use of prepositions may be deemed a feature of the genre of administrative reports. Moreover, the study revealed that compound and complex prepositions serve mainly referential, causal, temporal, text deixis and measuring functions. This is in line with the main objective of administrative reports, i.e. communicating information to the public.
Polityka zagraniczna Związku Socjalistycznych Republik Radzieckich i Federacji Rosyjskiej wobec Koreańskiej Republiki Ludowo-Demokratycznej (1948–2016)
Authors: Danielewski Mateusz
Published: January 2019

Foreign Policy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the Russian Federation toward the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (1948–2016) Foreign relations between the Soviet Union and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) during the Cold War were based on support of the North Korean regime and a distrustful attitude toward Kim Il‑sung, who remained neutral in the Soviet‑Chinese split. After the political transformation, the Russian Federation is pursuing pragmatic policy toward the DPRK. Moscow seeks to deepen economic cooperation in order to maintain security in Northeast Asia. The aim of this article is to analyse the USSR’s and Russia’s relations with the DPRK. The author describes events before, during and after the Cold War. The article draws attention to the extent to which national interests and the foreign policy of the Russian Federation coincide and differ from those pursued by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Authors: Bastos Danielle
Published: January 2019

Este artigo analisa um caso particular – a discussão de um projeto sobre ensino de culturas ameríndias em um instituto de aplicação do Rio de Janeiro. As aulas concentram em sua maior proporção alunos do primeiro segmento do Ensino Fundamental e alunos bolsistas da graduação. A ideia central é esboçar um relato de experiência comentando os encantamentos e desvios das atividades do ensino indígena para a educação básica. O ensino de culturas ameríndias, as questões fluídas e híbridas de migração de suas culturas fomentam uma quantidade expressiva de contextos e universos distintos reunidos. O ensino a partir da ótica dos autores ameríndios (BANIWA, 2011; BENITES, 2012; KOPENAWA, 2010) e fundamentação em uma literatura pós-colonial (BHABHA, 1996, 2014; CHAKRABARTY, 1997, 2010; DASS, 2011) expressam parte diferencial deste projeto que se pretende “descolonizador”. A escolha do material didático, sugestões de atividades, os estranhamentos e curiosidades surtidos das aulas do projeto, nesse contexto, sustentam a questão central deste artigo.
FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA: CONSTRUINDO CENÁRIOS INCLUSIVOS PARA ALUNOS SURDOS
Authors: Morriesen Eliane Maria
Published: January 2019

A circularidade que se apresenta para o presente artigo objetiva em investigar se no processo da formação continuada existem conteúdos específicos para que os professores possam construir cenários pedagógicos inclusivos para alunos surdos.  Tal propositura centra-se no fato que a formação continuada de professores traz em sua estrutura organizacional o objetivo central de promover orientações didático pedagógica aos professores visando bem prepara-los para o exercício pleno de sua função enquanto educador, tendo como princípio basilar o de saber, fazer, e principalmente de transmitir os conhecimentos adquiridos. A partir deste entendimento a pesquisa foi realizada junto a dezesseis professores que atuam com alunos surdos do ensino fundamental nos anos iniciais e finais, de duas escolas públicas localizadas no estado do Paraná. A obtenção dos dados foi realizada através de uma entrevista a qual continha oito perguntas descritivas. Os resultados demonstraram que não existe no contexto educacional, considerando as escolas analisadas, programas educacionais voltados para a formação continuada de professores na área da surdez, constatou-se também que os professores atuam com o auxílio da intérprete da Língua Brasileira de Sinais – LIBRAS. Averiguou-se que para superar estas dificuldades os mesmos contam com a experiência em sala de aula e do tempo de atuação na docência e que 50% dos entrevistados demonstraram que já participaram de cursos desta natureza ou que pretendem participar de curso de formação voltados para a área da surdez. Baseado nos resultados obtidos foi possível observar que é necessário repensar a prática docente voltada para a inclusão de alunos surdos em sala. É imprescindível para os professores pensarem e entenderem como o aluno surdo aprende, faz e compreende o mundo em que está inserido.

Equine de-worming: a consensus on current best practice
Authors: Rendle David , Austin Corrine , Bowen Mark , Cameron Ian , Furtado Tamzin , Hodgkinson Jane , McGorum Bruce , Matthews Jacqueline
Published: January 2019

Despite increasing awareness within the veterinary profession and equine industry of the potential implications of anthelmintic resistance (AHR), there is a concern that insufficient measures are being taken to reduce its development and spread. This document was commissioned to provide veterinary surgeons with up to date information on worm control plans that will prevent clinical disease while minimising selection pressure for resistance. Recommendations were developed using an informal two-round Delphi process, considering published and unpublished research relating to equine parasite control using a roundtable forum and online discussion. Where research evidence was conflicting or absent, collective expert opinion, based on the experience of the group, was applied. The opinions expressed are the consensus of views expressed by the authors. Where agreement was not reached opposing views are presented such that readers can understand the arguments. The document is focused on the management of horses and ponies; while much of the information herein applies to donkeys, it is important to recognise that donkeys face major challenges with AHR, and further research is required before specific recommendations can be made with respect to this species. The expert group was organised by UK-Vet Equine and hosted by Moredun Research Institute with sponsorship from Virbac and additional support from The Horse Trust and vetPartners.
Combined impacts of oregano extract and vacuum packaging on the quality changes of frigate tuna muscles stored at 3±1°C
Authors: Lahreche Talal , Ucar Yilmaz , Kosker Ali Riza , Hamdi Taha-Mossadak , Ozogul Fatih
Published: January 2019

Aim: The combined effects of oregano extract with vacuum packing (VP) on the quality enhancement of dark and white muscles of frigate tuna (Auxis thazard) stored as intact fillet at refrigerated (3±1°C) conditions were studied.

Materials and Methods: About 35 kg of fish were filleted without skin removal and randomly divided into two groups. One group without treatment (control) and the remaining group were dipped in a sterilized oregano extract solution for 5 min. Chemical, microbiological, sensorial, and textural analyses were carried out in each of dark and white muscles of frigate tuna fillets during storage.

Results: Several quality indexes were higher in dark muscle than white muscle. The sensory assessment indicated that both muscles from control had a shelf life of 12 days. Quality parameters of both muscles had the same tendency and were significantly affected by time and also by the presence of plant extract in VP. Although VP alone was sufficient to delay lipid oxidation on fish fillets, especially on dark muscle but cannot enhance the textural deterioration in both muscles.

Conclusion: Consequently, the employment of such combination had a cumulative effect on preservation, resulting in prolonging the shelf life of both frigate tuna muscles.

Severe acute mal nutrition (SAM) among children still remains the major problem in Ethiopia. The shortening of the SAM recovery time by applying appropriate dietary means during treatment and also after recovery, can save huge sums of public health spending.

Objectives:
Determining the recovery time of SAM affected children and developing complementary food supplement (CFS).

Methods:
Hospital based retrospective cohort study was carried out on 401 SAM affected children. A structured and pre tested data abstraction form was used for data collection. The data were entered into Epi info and exported to SPSS for analysis. All of the nutritional properties of the developed product in three different ratios of the flours of maize, soybean and powder of moringaolifera leaves were assessed and compared to the control (100% maize).

Results:
The median recovery time was 16 days. There was a significant increase in protein, mineral and beta carotene content with increasing level of Moringaolifera leaf powder in the CFS.

Conclusion:
To increase the rate of recovery from sever acute malnutrition and also to prevent relapsing, moringa incorporated cheaper complementary fod supplements could be recommended for SAM affected children.

Renewable energy is essential and vital aspect for development in Indonesia especially less oil reserve for coming 15 years. Biodiesel has received much attention as renewable energy in recent years. One of potential biodiesel is produced from microalgae. Due to high content of nutrients in Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), this waste is a potential for nutrient growth for microalgae. Chlorella is one of high potential for biodiesel since it has high lipid content (20-30%). The objective of the research is to determine growth rate and biomass productivity in Chlorella Sp cultured in POME. Chlorella Sp was cultured in 20%, 50%, 70% POME using urea concentration 0.1gr/L (low nitrogen source) and 1gr/l (high nitrogen source) at flask disk, pH 6.8-7.2; aerated using aquarium pump and fluorescence lamp 3000-6000 lux as light. Medium was measured using spectrophotometer Optima Sp-300 OD at 680 wave length in 15 days to calculate specific growth rate. At end of cultivation, Chlorella sp was filtered and measured as dry weight. Result indicated that Chlorella sp at 50% POME 1gr/L urea showed higher specific growth rate (0.066/day). Factor affecting growth rate of microalgae is CNP ratio, POME concentration, and urea concentration.

Soil samples were taken from four locations, each of the two locations of barren land (I and II) and two locations (I 'and II'). The content of soil organic matter at depths of 15, 50 and 90 cm determined spectrophotometrically, is 24.48; 17.29 and 9.07% (Location I), 19.64; 15.92 and 6.24% (Location II). With the titrimetry method on solid soil, the yield obtained is 1.30; 0.94 and 0.76% (Location I '), 0.64; 0.46 and 0.31% (Location II'). It appears, that the deeper the content of organic matter the lower the soil. When compared with barren land, the content in padas is lower.
Ciągłość czy zerwanie? Przyczynek do rozważań na temat historii polskiej myśli socjalistycznej XIX wieku
Authors: Kozubowski Jan
Published: January 2019

Celem artykułu jest próba obalenia utrzymywanego w historiografii podziału polskiego socjalizmu dziewiętnastowiecznego na „socjalizm naukowy” oraz „socjalizm utopijny”. Koncepcja „Idei komunistycznej” Alaina Badiou i Slavoja Žižka pozwala na uwypuklenie ciągłości w historii tego odłamu rodzimej refleksji politycznej. Rama „wiecznej idei” została w artykule wykorzystana do porównania programu Gromad Ludu Polskiego z poglądami polskich marksistów, a także do podważenia tez historyków PRL, którzy stworzyli ideologiczną przepaść między wspomnianymi typami „socjalizmów”. Analizując podobieństwa między „romantykami” a marksistami, wyznaczam polskie „niezmienne komunistyczne”, wśród których wyróżniam wiodącą cechę polskiej myśli rewolucyjnej: pozytywnie ujmowaną utopijność. Wskazuję również, że różnice w poglądach dwóch pokoleń socjalistów były zdeterminowane społeczno-gospodarczymi okolicznościami występującymi w dwóch różnych okresach historycznych.

Published: January 2019

Migrations as an inevitable fact of socioeconomic trends pose a security challenge for migrant countries, transition countries, and the countries where migrants come as to the ultimate destination. They are realized in a large area with a large number of participants and global consequences. This paper, through the basic determinants of migrations, statistical indicators on migrations, security challenges, risks and threats, migration policy and international security, provides answers to the questions about the numerical movement of migrants from the seventies of the last century to today on a global scale. Responses are also given about the reasons for triggering migrations, the most desirable migrant destinations, and the impact of migrations on security in departure, transit and destination countries. Particular attention is given to the last migration crisis that has largely affected the European Union.
The Challenges of Integrating Sustainable Wine-Growing Into Wine Tourism – Examples from Slovenia and Abroad
Authors: Koščak Marko
Published: January 2019

In an increasingly competitive tourist market, wine and enogastronomy are becoming key elements in the development of tourist products in regions that cultivate grapevines, in Slovenia and internationally. It has been claimed that no kind of tourism can develop in regions without wine; however, from today’s perspective, this claim seems an exaggeration. Nevertheless, enogastronomy is an integral part of many contemporary tourist products. As such, it combines tradition, history and heritage and also improves the recognisability of a given destination on which modern wine tourism products rest. On a global scale, wine tourism is growing, and the forecast for the future is likewise promising.

The essence of a wine tourism product is to connect food and wine, i.e. enogastronomic or culinary experiences, and to follow new trends. The trend is to consolidate this segment of tourism services, in particular through leisure activities and relaxation at the destination of choice. Food and wine thus become part of the cultural experience of the visited destination and equal the experience of visiting a museum or a concert or can be an equal component of such a package.

Authors: Kuboń Maciej
Published: January 2019

The objective of the paper is to determine the size of human and objectified labour in selected specialist vegetable farms. The paper covered studies carried out in the area of southern Poland in 50 organic vegetable farms. Based on the detailed studies, the size and structure of work, and energy inputs used in the production process were determined. The highest inputs of labour per a unit of the production area and 1 tonne of a product were incurred in production of Cucurbita vegetables – 1883.1 and 547.74 man-hour, while the lowest of Solanacea vegetables – 342.8 and 7.11 man-hour. From among all analysed groups of plants, the highest energy inputs were incurred in cultivation of root and onion vegetables and they were three times higher than in traditional farms. Contrary, the lowest inputs were incurred in cultivation of brassica and Solanaceae vegetables.
The Effect of the Malt Grinding Degree on the pH Value and Extract Content in Beer Mash
Authors: Natoniewski Marcin , Rydzak Leszek , Wyciszkiewicz Agata , Guz Tomasz
Published: January 2019

In recent years, a dynamic development of brewing has been observed. Increasingly, production of malt and beer takes place even in smaller industrial factories, breweries restaurants or at home. Extraction is a process applied in a variety of industries, including food production, as a way of extracting specific ingredients from their mixtures. As a result of this process, not only sugars, proteins, fats, enzymes, vitamins, colorants, fragrances and flavors, but also malt and hop extracts are being isolated. In the process of mashing, in which the malt ingredients are being extracted, many biochemical, physical and chemical changes take place. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of the degree of fragmentation of pilsner type malt on the amount of extract obtained and the pH of the mash. It has been observed that the degree of malt fragmentation has a significant effect on the content of the extract in the mash: the more fragmented malt, the more malt extract in mash produced using the malt. It has also been found that the pH of the mash increases with the average particle size of malt.

Collections of the National Museum – Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures include a set of 355 educational images printed on cloth and hand-coloured. They were published by the Working Men’s Educational Union based in London to accompany public lectures for British workers, and purchased by Vojta Náprstek in 1862 during his visit to the World Exposition in London for an industrial museum he had planned. Topics of the prints come from natural sciences (astronomy, anatomy, fauna, flora, physics, geology) as well as humanities (archaeology, ethnology, history, theology). A collection of this size has not been preserved anywhere else in the Czech lands.
Tibetan Objects in the Náprstek Museum
Authors: Heroldová Helena
Published: January 2019

The Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures acquired two hundred items from Tibet in the 1950s: bronze sculptures, paintings and ritual implements. These items came from private collections confiscated after the Second War World according to the presidential decrees dealing with the post-war state reconstruction. Although the administration of the confiscated properties was meticulous, the transfer of items to the Náprstek Museum interrupted the history of ownership and meant the loss of the historical knowledge of its origin. As the result, the Tibet collection in the Náprstek Museum reveals more about the political and social history of post-war Czechoslovakia than about the perception of Tibetan culture in Czechoslovakia during the first half of the 20th century.
Hong Kong as Alternative Sinophone Articulation: Translation and Literary Cartography in Dung Kai-Cheung’S Atlas: The Archaeology of an Imaginary City
Authors: Chao Long
Published: January 2019

Following the 2014 Umbrella Movement, Hong Kong society has witnessed a series of fights between social (youth) activists and its Special Administrative Government (SAR). What was at stake really boils down to the issue of Hong Kong’s self-positioning vis-a-vis the rising economic and political strength of Mainland China. This issue is certainly nothing new, given that most cultural discourses in the 1990s, both within and outside Hong Kong, have focused on the city’s postcolonial status after the handover. This article therefore proposes to approach such an issue from the perspective of the Sinophone to bring to light how cultural production in Hong Kong can generate alternative thinking. It considers specifically a literary work by a native Hong Kong writer, namely, Dung Kai-cheung’s Atlas: The Archaeology of an Imaginary City (Atlas), through the lens of translation. By analysing how Dung Kai-cheung engages in three levels of translation to paint a kaleidoscopic image of Hong Kong, this article shows how the concept of Sinophone can inspire, enlighten and even question existing knowledge about Hong Kong’s history and culture. Eventually, Atlas, shown as deprived of a nativist or nationalistic discourse, creates new epistemic possibilities for understanding Hong Kong. As part of the ongoing global Sinophone cultures, Atlas also exemplifies how Hong Kong can be imagined to hold an equally important position vis-a-vis Mainland China.
Karl Marx and the Geographies of the Present

The oversaturation of information that characterizes the “digital age” is not only a question of large numbers of competing discourses blurring meaning itself out, but also of a fundamental disassociation between words and their use, between the constative and the performative dimensions of language. Baudrillard has analysed how the mutability of signs in our society has rendered meaning meaningless, through an infinite game of simulacra and simulation that forecloses our understanding of reality rather than making it legible. Meanwhile, Sloterdijk and Žižek have approached the same problematic from a different angle, analysing how actions perform an ideological foreclosure that cannot be observed when analysing signs alone. What discourses say and what they actually do today is often contradictory and this contradiction fulfills an ideological function. This is especially troubling when discourses declare themselves to be counter-hegemonic yet actively participate in the reproduction of the status quo. In this context, it is pertinent to return to the work of Marx to reflect on and engage with his coherent articulation of words and their use, of words and actions, and of the intellectual and the political. The coherence of his discourse and praxis offers tools to think through, if not seek to transform, the alienated semiotic landscape of our times.

The representation of cloud processes inweather and climate models is crucial for their feedback on atmospheric flows. Since there is no general macroscopic theory of clouds, the parameterization of clouds in corresponding simulation software depends crucially on the underlying modeling assumptions. In this study we present a new model of intermediate complexity (a one-and-a-half moment scheme) for warm clouds, which is derived from physical principles. Our model consists of a system of differential-algebraic equations which allows for supersaturation and comprises intrinsic automated droplet activation due to a coupling of the droplet mass- and number concentrations tailored to this problem. For the numerical solution of this system we recommend a semi-implicit integration scheme, with effcient solvers for the implicit parts. The new model shows encouraging numerical results when compared with alternative cloud parameterizations, and it is well suited to investigate model uncertainties and to quantify predictability of weather events in moist atmospheric regimes.
The Evaluation of Discovery: Models, Simulation and Search through “Big Data”
Authors: Glymour Clark , Ramsey Joseph D. , Zhang Kun
Published: January 2019

A central theme in western philosophy was to find formal methods that can reliably discover empirical relationships and their explanations from data assembled from experience. As a philosophical project, that ambition was abandoned in the 20th century and generally dismissed as impossible. It was replaced in philosophy by neo-Kantian efforts at reconstruction and justification, and in professional statistics by the more limited ambition to estimate a small number of parameters in pre-specified hypotheses. The influx of “big data” from climate science, neuropsychology, biology, astronomy and elsewhere implicitly called for a revival of the grander philosophical ambition. Search algorithms are meeting that call, but they pose a problem: how are their accuracies to be assessed in domains where experimentation is limited or impossible? Increasingly, the answer is through simulation of data from models of the kind of process in the domain. In some cases, these innovations require rethinking how the accuracy and informativeness of inference methods can be assessed. Focusing on causal inference, we give an example from neuroscience, but to show that the model/simulation strategy is not confined to causal inference, we also consider two classification problems from astrophysics: identifying exoplanets and identifying dark matter concentrations.
Effects of mindfulness training on regulatory and academic abilities in preadolescents: Results from a pilot study
Authors: Wimmer Lena , von Stockhausen Lisa , Bellingrath Silja
Published: January 2019

Regulatory abilities such as self-regulation and stress regulation are key predictors of essential developmental outcomes, including intellectual and socioemotional milestones as well as academic achievement. Preadolescence has been proposed as a period that is crucial for training these abilities. The present pilot study investigated the effects of mindfulness training on preadolescents‘ regulatory abilities and school-related outcomes. A group of 34 fifth graders received either mindfulness training (experimental group), Marburg Concentration Training (alternative treatment group), or no treatment (passive control group) and were monitored over a four-month intervention period. Regulatory abilities were assessed first, with two self-report questionnaires that operationalized impulsivity and coping with stress, respectively. Second, physical stress regulation was examined on the basis of diurnal cortisol as well as salivary α-amylase (sAA) profiles. Finally, school-related outcomes were measured with a paperpencil based performance test of verbal memory. Results show that impulsivity increased in all groups over time, whereas there were no significant training effects on self-reported coping with stress. Both training groups showed more adaptive physiological stress regulation in terms of steeper diurnal cortisol slopes and marginally less pronounced sAA awakening responses, however, with respect to physiological measures, no data of the passive control group are available. With respect to school-related outcomes, the results indicate a slight superiority regarding verbal memory for the mindfulness training group compared to the Marburg Concentration Training group.

Published: January 2019

Adsorption of thorium onto nitric acid modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes was investigated by central composite design as a function of contact time, pH, initial thorium concentration and temperature. The results showed that optimum uptake capacity was 65.75±2.23 mg·g−1 with respect to pH=4, initial thorium concentration of 100 mg·L−1, 25 °C and 15 min contact time. Thermodynamic parameters [standard enthalpy (ΔH
0), entropy (ΔS
0), and free energy (ΔG
0)] were calculated, and the results indicated that adsorption was endothermic. Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms have been investigated in order to characterize the adsorption process in the range of 25–100 mg·L−1 initial thorium concentration. The Freundlich isotherm is the best suited as a model because it has the highest correlation coefficient (R2=0.9485). The pseudo-second order kinetics well defined the adsorption process.
Modeling of temperature dependency of structural waves in an ultrasonic flow measurement system
Authors: Bächle Matthias , Puente León Fernando
Published: January 2019

Structural waves transmitted solely through the pipe wall influence the accuracy in a clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement system because of the superposition with the signals of interest. To improve the measurement against temperature variations, an algorithmic compensation of the structural waves using a temperature model is required. This paper proposes a temperature model for structural waves, using the Matching Pursuit method. In the first section, a sparse signal representation is presented to approximate the structural wave signals. The resulting signal coefficients are used to describe the temperature dependency in a linear model. The method is validated using measurements of structural waves in a circular pipe over a temperature range between

Published: January 2019

The Michael addition of enaminoesters to coumarins leads to the formation of the rearranged adduct 1 whose structure has been previously elucidated by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Now, N- and/or O-carbamoylation of the 6-amino-2-pyridone 1 by treatment with phenyl isocyanate in a molar ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 gave N-mono- (2a) or N,O-bis-(phenylcarbamoyl) (3) derivatives, respectively. Further transformations of the corresponding new 2-pyridone derivative 2a into the O-acetyl derivative 2b and the chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine 4 are reported as well.

Spitz, RW, Gonzalez, AM, Ghigiarelli, JJ, Sell, KM, and Mangine, GT. Load-velocity relationships of the back vs. front squat exercises in resistance-trained men. J Strength Cond Res 33(2): 301–306, 2019—The purpose of this investigation was to describe and compare changes in barbell velocity in relation to relative load increases during the back squat (BS) and front squat (FS) exercises. Eleven National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I baseball position players (19.4 ± 1.0 years; 182.4 ± 6.5 cm; and 87.2 ± 7.4 kg) performed trials at maximum speed with loads of 30, 50, 70, and 90% of their predetermined 1 repetition maximum (1RM) for both BS and FS. Peak and mean velocity was recorded during each repetition using an accelerometer. Differences between exercises and relative loading were assessed by separate 2 × 4 (condition × relative load) repeated-measures analysis of variance for mean and peak velocity. In addition, the load-velocity relationship across submaximal loadings in BS and FS were further assessed by calculating their respective slopes and comparing slopes through a paired-samples t-test. No significant condition × relative load interactions were noted for mean velocity (p = 0.072) or peak velocity (p = 0.203). Likewise, no significant differences in the slope for BS and FS were noted for mean velocity (p = 0.057) or peak velocity (p = 0.196). However, significant main effects for relative load were noted for both mean and peak velocity (p < 0.001), whereby mean and peak velocity were progressively reduced across all relative loads (i.e., 30, 50, 70, and 90% 1RM) for both the BS and FS. Our results demonstrate that the load-velocity relationships of the BS and FS exercises seem to be similar; therefore, similar approaches may be used with these squat variations when monitoring barbell velocity or implementing velocity-based strength training.
