Published: May 2020

A cultura do milho verde apresenta importância econômica e social relevante para os pequenos e médios agricultores, como fonte de renda e alimento, tanto para alimentação humana como animal. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho de cultivares comerciais de milho para consumo in natura nas condições edafoclimáticas de Jataí, região Sudoeste do Estado de Goiás nos períodos de safrinha e safra de verão. Os experimentos foram instalados em delineamento de blocos casualizados com quatro repetições e 10 cultivares. Foram avaliadas as características: altura de planta, altura inserção de espiga, diâmetro e comprimento de espigas, produtividade de espigas com palha e sem palha, produtividade comercial e teor de sólidos solúveis. Todas as cultivares avaliadas na safrinha apresentaram características para o consumo in natura na forma de milho verde, já para as cultivares cultivadas na safra a cultivar BM 840 foi a que apresentou maior produtividade de espigas para o consumo na forma de milho verde.
A natureza como sujeito de direito
Authors: Arruda André Felipe Soares de , Oliveira Fabrício Manoel , Moraes Lanna Thays Portela
Published: May 2020

Os recentes desastres ecológicos em Mariana (2015) e em Brumadinho (2019), no estado de Minas Gerais ˗ Brasil, trouxeram à tona a necessidade de novas reflexões sobre a preservação do meio ambiente nacional. O ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, pautado em um modelo antropocêntrico de interação do homem com a natureza, considera esta como um recurso à disposição daquele, de modo que há apenas algumas limitações quanto ao seu uso, as quais, com efeito, não garantem a devida proteção, tampouco a recuperação dos ecossistemas afetados pelas mãos humanas. É possível perceber, no entanto, que tal paradigma acerca das normas ambientais está em desconexão com outros países da América Latina, que impulsionados pelo Novo Constitucionalismo Latino-Americano, passaram a reconhecer e declarar direitos à natureza, realizando uma leitura normativa fundamentada no biocentrismo. Em sendo assim, o objetivo geral do presente trabalho é verificar a possibilidade e a viabilidade do uso do Direito Comparado para uma mudança na legislação pátria acerca do status jurídico da natureza, com o fito de reconhecê-la como sujeito de direito, a partir da análise dos desastres ambientais ocorridos em Mariana e Brumadinho, demonstrando-se, dessa forma, a importância dos estudos juscomparativos em matéria ambiental. O trabalho utiliza uma metodologia jurídico exploratória-explicativa, de natureza qualitativa, e o método teórico, notadamente por meio de uma abordagem bibliográfica. Ao final, conclui-se no sentido de que é viável a utilização de estudos juscomparativos em matéria ambiental para a mudança na legislação nacional sobre o enquadramento jurídico da natureza, isso tudo com a finalidade de proporcionar uma maior preservação do meio ambiente, bem como garantir qualidade de vida às atuais e futuras gerações, na esteira do que vêm fazendo outros países da América Latina.

Published: May 2020

A contaminação de solos por mercúrio é um problema ambiental grave, com potencial de biomagnificação em cadeias alimentares e danos à saúde humana. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes concentrações de HgO na germinação e desenvolvimento de plântulas de Sapindus saponária submetidas a escarificação mecânica. O experimento foi instalado em DIC com quatro repetições de 25 sementes, no esquema fatorial 4 x 2, sendo estudado o efeito de quatro concentrações de HgO em vermiculita (C1 – 0,000 g/cm3;.C2 – 0,025 g/cm3; C3 – 0,050 g/cm3 e C4 – 0,075 g/cm3) e de dois pré-tratamentos (P1 – Testemunha: sementes com tegumento intacto e P2 – escarificação mecânica do tegumento em esmeril elétrico). Avaliaram-se atributos relacionados à germinação e desenvolvimento de plântulas. Realizaram-se teste F, análise de regressão e teste t pareado, todos a 5,0 % de significância estatística. A escarificação mecânica do tegumento com esmeril elétrico favoreceu a embebição das sementes (100,0 %), germinação (85,25 %) e emissões de raízes laterais (70,0 %) e de parte aérea (76,25 %). A presença de mercúrio na vermiculita prejudicou o desenvolvimento das plântulas. Conclui-se que a escarificação mecânica do tegumento com esmeril elétrico pode ser indicado para superar a dormência das sementes de S. saponaria. Esta espécie tolera pequenas concentrações de HgO (0,0045 g/cm3) sem causar maiores danos ao seu crescimento e acúmulo de massa verde.

Published: May 2020

A demanda dos consumidores brasileiros por produtos de panificação mais saudáveis, que apresentem no rótulo alegações nutricionais, tais como fonte de fibras, tem aumentando nos últimos anos, promovendo também uma maior agregação de valor a tais produtos. Os alimentos sem glúten surgem para atender a população portadora da doença celíaca e também pessoas que não possuem restrição alimentar, mas que optam por consumir esses alimentos por associarem os mesmos com uma alimentação mais saudável. Nessa pesquisa foi avaliada a viabilidade da produção de uma massa de pizza fonte de fibras e sem glúten, adicionada de psyllium, utilizando como base amilácea a farinha de arroz e pasta de inhame. As massas adicionadas de fibras foram comparadas com o controle e avaliadas quanto a aceitação sensorial por escala hedônica e intenção de compra. Para a caracterização dos produtos desenvolvidos também foram realizadas análises físico-químicas, cálculo da composição nutricional e textura instrumental. Verificou-se que, a adição de fibras de psyllium aumentou a extensibilidade da massa crua (p<0,05) e a firmeza dos discos pré-assados (p<0,05). A massa com maior concentração de psyllium apresentou os requisitos para ser comercializada no Brasil com a alegação “fonte de fibras”, sendo viável a sua produção em maior escala, tanto para públicos celíacos quanto para consumidores que optam por dietas isentas de glúten.

Published: May 2020

A própolis é produzida pelas abelhas e corresponde a um material proveniente da coleta de secreções resinosas vegetais, com adição de enzimas salivares e cera na composição do produto final, são atribuídas diversas propriedades biológicas a própolis, dentre elas um potencial de atividade antimicrobiana que vem sendo amplamente estudada, uma vez que, a descoberta de princípios ativos antibacterianos, trouxe significativos avanços para a área da saúde. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a eficácia antimicrobiana de seis diferentes concentrações de extrato de própolis de abelha Jataí em bactérias Gram-positivas e Gram-negativas, para isso foram coletadas 20 amostras de própolis, produzidas em meliponários localizados em Uchoa-SP e Tabapuã-SP, nos meses de dezembro 2018 a março de 2019. O extrato hidroetanólico mostrou efetividade antimicrobiana frente aos micro-organismos Gram-positivos e Gram-negativos testados, onde E. coli e P. aeruginosa foram sensíveis a quatro das seis concentrações e a CIM foi de 125 µg/mL, já a K. pneumoniae apresentou maior sensibilidade entre as cepas Gram-negativas, assim como as três bactérias Gram-positivas, tiveram inibição de crescimento por cinco das concentrações testadas e CIM de 62,5 µg/mL. Dessa forma foi possível concluir que o extrato hidroetanólico da própolis de abelha Jataí apresentou substâncias capazes de inibir o crescimento de todas as bactérias testadas e os baixos valores de CIM indicam uma promissora possibilidade de uso deste material biológico como alternativa ao uso de antibióticos, contribuindo também para a redução da resistência microbiana.

Published: May 2020

O editorial trata da importância de se justificar a nova intervenção, o ajuntamento de desfechos combinados, cada vez menos relevantes à prática clínica a partir do do valor de P. Entretanto, chama atenção com propriedade sobre a importância do cálculo do intervalo de confiança que estima com 90, ou mais comumente 95%, de probabilidade, a chance de dispersão do valor do desfecho obtido. Com tal atitude teremos uma melhor apreciação do que é visto com o valor puro de P.
Evolução da terapêutica de fase aguda em acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico
Authors: Lordelo San Martin Daniel , Júnior Azevedo Bastos Augusto , França Pereira Davidson , Pereira de Jesus Pedro Antônio
Published: May 2020

O acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico (AVCi) define-se como um déficit neurológico súbito com duração maior do que 24 horas. Sua classificação sindrômica tem importantes implicações prognósticas e a classificação etiológica define a conduta em longo prazo. O tratamento da fase aguda vem vivenciando grandes alterações nas últimas três décadas, iniciando com a publicação do primeiro estudo positivo para terapia reperfusional aguda com alteplase venosa em 1995, até três horas do início dos sintomas, e posterior expansão para 4,5 horas em 2008. Outros estudos têm permitido o uso de tenecteplase como terapêutica alternativa se necessário. A evolução da terapêutica inclui os estudos publicados com resultados positivos desde 2015 até 2018, utilizando a trombectomia mecânica inicialmente em até seis horas e, mais recentemente, permitindo até 24 horas do início dos sintomas, em pacientes selecionados.

Published: May 2020

Desde o surgimento da cineangiocoronariografia e sua utilização na fase aguda do infarto e, principalmente, depois do surgimento de marcadores sensíveis séricos de morte de cardiomiócito, como as troponinas, registram-se casos que possuem características clínicas de apresentação de infarto sem a presença de obstruções significativas das coronárias, isto é, lesões < 50%. Admitindo várias etiologias e mecanismos, passaram a ser mais recentemente cunhadas em literatura internacional como síndrome MINOCA (Myocardial Infaction with Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries). Estes casos representam cerca de 5 a 10% dos casos de infarto do miocárdio e mais frequentemente são vistos em pacientes mais jovens e com ligeiro predomínio do sexo feminino.

Student Motivation to Study Abroad and Their Intercultural Development
Authors: Anderson Philip H. , Hubbard Ann , Lawton Leigh
Published: May 2020

This study is a first step in examining the link between motivation and the various elements of study programs; clearly more work must be done. Given the results of this study, it appears that motivation to study abroad is an important dimension to consider in future research efforts. As the tools for measuring the impact of a study abroad program are further developed and refined, we believe that we will gain greater insight into what program characteristics will attract students and what program features will optimize the gains that students realize from the experience.
The MSA: An Instrument for Measuring Motivation to Study Abroad
Authors: Anderson Philip H. , Lawton Leigh
Published: May 2020

This paper describes the development of a paper and pencil instrument that classifies the principal motivations for students participating in study abroad programs. While many of the factors relating to relevant program parameters are readily apparent (Engle and Engle, 2003), it is important to understand how students’ motivation for participating in a study abroad program mediates the magnitude of those gains. For research to advance on the moderating influence of student motivation, an instrument is needed to classify these motivations so that students can be sorted into appropriate categories.

Model for evaluating the electric power output of Pressure Retarded Osmosis generation plants
Authors: Llamas-Rivas Mario , Pizano-Martínez Alejandro , Fuerte-Esquivel Claudio R. , Merchan-Villalba Luis R. , Gutiérrez-Martínez Víctor J.
Published: May 2020

In this work a mathematical model is assembled to evaluate the electric complex power and electric current output of pressure retarded osmosis (PRO)- based generation plants. Unlike other works already reported in the literature, the assembled model allows performing that evaluation in the abc reference frame based on the salinity concentrations of the salty and fresh water bodies entering the membrane modules and the phasor voltages at the terminals of the generation plant. The induction generator is selected as the power transductor. The assembled model also collects main phenomena affecting the PRO process efficiency: internal concentration polarization, external concentration polarization and spatial variations. A numerical example is presented where the model is used to evaluate the electric complex power output of the PRO generation plant. The numerical results obtained suggest that reactive power compensation may be needed for the selected power transductor. These results also confirm that the main phenomena affecting the PRO process efficiency substantially affect the active power production, but not the reactive power consumption. In this way, the assembled model may be used to analyse the steady state performance of electric networks under the integration of PRO generation plants.
AN ANALYSIS OF THE CAUSES OF MIGRATION TO KERALA USING GARRETT’S SCALE
Authors: Akhil. K.O
Published: May 2020

Interstate migration is a complex phenomenon and closely related to economic and social factors as well as economic development. The exodus from rural areas is one of the vital issues in India. Because of the ongoing structural changes and consequent alterations in the economy as a whole, the nature, magnitude and pattern of migration have been evolving over time. The studies on migration argue that migration is by and large closely linked with the basic arguments, that is, people are compelled to migrate due to development - driven factors and/or distress driven factors (push factors) and migration of people is mainly motivated by better employment opportunities, higher wages, good quality education and health conditions and better living conditions at destinations (pull factors). Here the researcher focuses on migrant labourers who migrated to Kerala from various states of India for employment in construction fields, and tries to identify which factor is acting more in this type of inter-state migration with help of Garrett’s Scale Ranking.
KEYWORDS: Interstate migration, Push and Pull factors, Garrett’s Scale Technique.
«Nowy Donkiszot» albo Pornografia nowoczesności: O zapomnianym dramacie Jerzego Żuławskiego
Authors: Dudek Michał
Published: May 2020

Artykuł jest próbą interpretacji Nowego Donkiszota Jerzego Żuławskiego, nieukończonego dramatu, który nigdy nie był przedmiotem badań. Na płaszczyźnie formalnej utwór stanowi najodważniejszy być może eksperyment Żuławskiego jako dramatopisarza, lokujący się w sąsiedztwie projektów teatralnych Stanisława Wyspiańskiego i Tadeusza Micińskiego. Ale Nowy Donkiszot to przede wszystkim arcyciekawy sąd epoki nad nowoczesnością, który przez reinterpretację obecnej w literaturze polskiej figury błędnego rycerza, a także w dialogu z Weselem Wyspiańskiego, diagnozuje impotencję współczesnej Żuławskiemu inteligencji w obliczu rewolucji 1905 i obnaża usypiający charakter rodzącego się przemysłu kulturalnego. Nowoczesny Don Kichot przechodzi w dramacie ewolucję od idealisty, utopijnego fantasty i rewolucyjnego bojownika, poprzez poszukiwacza szczęścia wiluzji i rolę „hamletycznego” hedonisty, aż po krytycznego pornografa nowoczesności. Kod pornograficzny, podniesiony do rangi zasady konstrukcyjnej dramatu, stanowi literacką strategię pozwalającą dramatopisarzowi krytycznie prześwietlić rzeczywistość, której metonimią uczynił rzymski lokal rozrywkowy.
Paradoks o konwencji: «Refleksje krytyczne» Jean-Baptiste’a Dubosa
Authors: Olkusz Piotr
Published: May 2020

W 1719 roku Jean-Baptiste Dubos opublikował olbrzymią rozprawę o sztuce Réflexions critiques sur la poésie et sur la peinture, w której zaproponował nowy rodzaj refleksji o tym, co artystyczne. Choć czerpał z teorii starożytników, to na szeroką skalę wprowadził do swojego dzieła nowoczesną, zwiastującą sensualizm perspektywę osobistego odbioru i indywidualnego zachwytu. Polskim teatrologom Dubos znany jest niemal wyłącznie dzięki artykułowi Zbigniewa Raszewskiego Partytura teatralna, przez co sprowadza się jego idee głównie do rozważań o możliwości stworzenia zapisu gry scenicznej. Tymczasem osiemnastowieczny teoretyk fascynował się istnieniem takiej partytury o tyle, o ile widział w niej narzędzie do wskazania aktorowi kierunku poszukiwań, której celem nie była utopijna wierność autorskiemu zamierzeniu, ale szansa na analizę wolności własnej i poszukiwania prawdy sztuki. Artykuł omawia główne strategie narracyjne zastosowane przez Jean-Baptiste’a Dubosa w traktacie, prezentuje główny obszar teatralnych zainteresowań autora i  jego wyobrażenie o zastosowaniu maski w teatrze antycznym i w komedii dell’arte. Szkicuje związki koncepcji księdza Dubosa z osiemnastowieczną teorią i praktyką paryskiego teatru.
Janina Ludawska in memoriam (1921–2019)
Authors: Sauter Willmar
Published: May 2020

The author presents his personal recollections of Janina Ludawska, a Polish theatre scholar of Jewish origins who passed away in 2019 in Stockholm. Ludawska spent a significant part of her life in Sweden, where she found refuge during the war when she studied chemistry. She returned to Warsaw after the war and she started taking an interest in the theatre. In the late 1940s and early 1950s she studied in Moscow in The Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS). Back in Poland, she devoted her energy to the establishment of a new Polish theatre. When the anti-Semitic policy of the communist government caused her to leave Poland again in 1968, she found a new home for herself and her son in Stockholm. In 1970 she was employed at the library of the Department of Theatre Studies at Stockholm University, and she pursued her scholarly work. Interested in Polish Romantic drama, she published an anthology in Swedish: Poetic Political Theatre: On Polish Romantic Drama and Its Scenic Traditions.  She also defended her doctoral dissertation on three Swedish productions of Gombrowicz’s The Marriage. Ludawska saw theatre, with its aesthetics, its history, and its social functions, as one of the pillars of democratic institutions.
Don Kichot i antropozofia: O tym, jak aktor Michaił Czechow pragnął zagrać rolę Rycerza Smętnego Oblicza i dlaczego roli tej nie zagrał
Authors: Osińska Katarzyna
Published: May 2020

Michaił Czechow pozostawił kilka świadectw pracy nad rolą Don Kichota, najbardziej znane są Rozmyślania o Don Kichocie  (1926) i Dziennik o Kichocie (1928). Do premiery spektaklu w teatrze MChAT Drugi nigdy nie doszło, a Czechow roli tej nie zagrał ani w Rosji, ani na emigracji. W artykule podjęto próbę rozszyfrowania uwag aktora o postaci rycerza w kontekście antropozofii, która w tym okresie była dla niego inspiracją zarówno w pracy nad rolą, jak i własnym rozwoju duchowym. Sięgnięcie do dokumentów, w tym do stenogramów dyskusji wokół planowanej inscenizacji oraz do korespondencji aktora z jedną z autorek pierwszej adaptacji powieści - Nadieżdą Pawłowicz, pozwoliło wnikąć w paradoksalne na pierwszy rzut oka postrzeganie postaci rycerza przez aktora. Czechow widział w nim postać "lucyferyczną" i krytycznie oceniał jego idealizm. Zestawienie poglądów aktora z opiniami działaczy bolszewickich tłumaczy, dlaczego przychylał się do narzucanej przez cenzurę interpretacji powieści Cervantesa, a jednocześnie odsłania prawdziwe motywy jego własnej interpretacji. Przyczyną niepowodzenia w zmaganiu się z rolą Kichota była nieprzystawalność wizji aktora do powieści Cervantesa, co uniemożliwiło stworzenie zadowalającej adaptacji dzieła. Zarazem pracę nad rolą Kichota można potraktować jako etap w rozwoju Czechowa, zainspirowanego naukami Rudolfa Steinera.

Development of workflows for NGS data analysis have facilitated the study of sequences. Such workflows have their own advantages and challenges based on the algorithms they use. As a part of this study for Biohackathon 2020, we have compared the SARS-CoV-2 variant outputs of INSaFLU workflow with those analyzed by galaxyproject/SARS-CoV-2. Within 24 samples, 597 variants were found to be shared between two workflows, with almost half of them found within the coding sequence of replicase polyprotein 1ab. Within the shared variants, number of non-synonymous variants were considerably higher and nearly half of the variants were multiallelic. Prospective studies could help us evaluate the accuracy of these variants.

As part of the virtual BioHackathon 2020, we formed a working group that focused on the analysis of gene expression in the context of COVID-19. More specifically, we performed transcriptome analyses on published datasets in order to better understand the interaction between the human host and the SARS-CoV-2 virus.The ideas proposed during this hackathon were divided into five projects. Projects 1 and 2 aimed to identify human genes that are important in the process of viral infection of human cells. Projects 3 and 4 aimed to take the candidate genes identified in projects 1 and 2, as well as by independent studies, and relate them to clinical information and to possible therapeutic interventions. Finally, Project 5 aimed to package and containerize software and workflows used and generated here in a reusable manner, ultimately providing scalable and reproducible workflows.

The pandemicity & the ability of the SARS-COV-2 to reinfect a cured subject, among other damaging characteristics of it, took everybody by surprise. A global collaborative scientific effort was direly required to bring learned people from different niches of medicine & data science together. Such a platform was provided by COVID19 Virtual BioHackathon, organized from the 5th to the 11th of April, 2020, to ponder on the related pressing issues varying in their diversity from text mining to genomics. Under the "Machine learning" track, we determined optimal k-mer length for feature extraction, constructed continuous distributed representations for protein sequences to create phylogenetic trees in an alignment-free manner, and clustered predicted MHC class I and II binding affinity to aid in vaccine design. All the related work in available in a Github repository under an MIT license for future research.
About the equilibrium positions of a matrix differential-algebraic boundary value problem
Authors: Chuiko Sergei , Nesmelova Olga
Published: May 2020

In the article we found the solvability conditions and the construction of the generalized Green operator of the linear Noetherian matrix differential-algebraic boundary value problem. We obtained sufficient conditions of transformationsof the matrix differential-algebraic equation to a traditional differential-algebraic equation with an unknown in the form of a column vector. The problem that reviewed in the article continues the study of solvability conditions for the linear Noetherian boundary value problems given in the monographs of M.V. Azbelev, V.P. Maksimov, L.F. Rakhmatullina, A.M. Samoilenko and A.A. Boichuk. We investigated the general case when the linear bounded operator corresponding to the homogeneous part of the linear Cauchy problem for the matrix differential-algebraic system does not have the reverse operator. We introduced the definition of the equilibrium positions of the matrix differential-algebraic system and the matrix differential-algebraic boundary-value problem to solve the matrix differential-algebraic boundary-value problem. We proposed sufficient conditions of existence and constructive schemes for finding the equilibrium positions of the matrix differential-algebraic system and the matrix differential-algebraic boundary value problem. The cases~of equilibrium positions of the matrix differential-algebraic system, which are constant matrices, and equilibrium positions depending on an independent variable are considered separately. To solve the matrix differential-algebraic boundary-value problem, we used the original solvability conditions and~the construction of the general solution of the Sylvester-type matrix equation, while the Moore-Penrose matrix pseudoinverse technique was essentially used. In the article we constructed the generalized Green operator of the linear Noetherian matrix differential-algebraic boundary value problem. The proposed solvability conditions and the construction of the generalized Green operator of the linear Noetherian matrix differential-algebraic boundary value problem, were illustrated in detail with examples.
Continuity of weak solutions to nonlinear fourth-order equations with strengthened ellipticity via Wolff potentials
Authors: Voitovych Mykhailo
Published: May 2020

In the present article nonlinear fourth-order equations in the divergence form with L^1-right-hand sides and the strengthened ellipticity condition on the coefficients are analyzed. Such equations, but with sufficiently regular right-hand sides, first appeared in the works of Professor I.V. Skrypnik concerning the regularity of generalized solutions for multidimensional nonlinear elliptic equations of high order.
This class of equations correctly generalizes the corresponding nonlinear second-order elliptic equations with non-standard growth conditions on the coefficients, which are models for numerous physical phenomena in non-homogeneous medium.
The main result of the article is a theorem on an estimation of oscillations in a ball of solutions to the given equations via the Wolff potentials of their right-hand sides.
To prove this, we use the improved Kilpelainen-Maly method and pointwise potential estimates of functions related to special subclasses of Sobolev spaces, akin to the well-known De Giorgi classes. A new point is the verification that these classes contain superpositions of solutions and Moser logarithmic functions that include the Wolf potential of the right-hand side of the equation. As a corollary, a new result is obtained on the interior continuity of solutions to the equations with right-hand sides from the Kato class, which is characterized by the uniform convergence to zero of the corresponding Wolff potentials. Some important cases of fulfilling this condition are considered: the right-hand side of the equation belongs to the Morrey space with an index exceeding a certain limiting value, then the solutions are locally Holder continuous; if the right-hand side belongs to the borderline Lorentz-Zygmund classes, then the solutions are only locally continuous, but they are not Holder continuous in the domain. In the case when the summability exponents of the right-hand sides of the equations under consideration are less than the borderline values, there are examples of unbounded discontinuous solutions. These facts are exact analogues of the corresponding results in the theory of second-order elliptic equations.
On mappings with finite length distortion on Riemann surfaces
Authors: Volkov Serhii , Ryazanov Vladimir
Published: May 2020

The present paper is a natural continuation of our previous paper (2017) on the boundary behavior of mappings in the Sobolev classes on Riemann surfaces, where the reader will be able to find the corresponding historic comments and a discussion of many definitions and relevant results. The given paper was devoted to the theory of the boundary behavior of mappings with finite distortion by Iwaniec on Riemannian surfaces first introduced for the plane in the paper of Iwaniec T. and Sverak V. (1993) On mappings with integrable dilatation and then extended to the spatial case in the monograph of Iwaniec T. and Martin G. (2001) devoted to Geometric function theory and non-linear analysis. At the present paper, it is developed the theory of the boundary behavior of the so--called mappings with finite length distortion first introduced in the paper of Martio O., Ryazanov V., Srebro U. and Yakubov~E. (2004) in the spatial case, see also Chapter 8 in their monograph (2009) on Moduli in modern mapping theory. As it was shown in the paper of Kovtonyuk D., Petkov I. and Ryazanov V. (2017) On the boundary behavior of mappings with finite distortion in the plane, such mappings, generally speaking, are not mappings with finite distortion by Iwaniec because their first partial derivatives can be not locally integrable. At the same time, this class is a generalization of the known class of mappings with bounded distortion by Martio--Vaisala from their paper (1988). Moreover, this class contains as a subclass the so-called finitely bi-Lipschitz mappings introduced for the spatial case in the paper of Kovtonyuk D. and Ryazanov V. (2011) On the boundary behavior of generalized quasi-isometries, that in turn are a natural generalization of the well-known classes of bi-Lipschitz mappings as well as isometries and quasi-isometries. In the research of the local and boundary behavior of mappings with finite length distortion in the spatial case, the key fact was that they satisfy some modulus inequalities which was a motivation for the consideration more wide classes of mappings, in particular, the Q-homeomorphisms (2005) and the mappings with finite area distortion (2008). Hence it is natural that under the research of mappings with finite length distortion on Riemann surfaces we start from establishing the corresponding modulus inequalities that are the main tool for us. On this basis, we prove here a series of criteria in terms of dilatations for the continuous and homeomorphic extension to the boundary of the mappings with finite length distortion between domains on arbitrary Riemann surfaces.

Authors: Goudarzi Koorosh , Jamali H. , Kalaei V.
Published: May 2020

In this experimental study, Aluminums Oxide (Al2O3) in Pure Water (PW) as nanofluid was used for heat transfer enhancement in car radiator together with electric field. Electric field with different voltage 8, 11, 14 kV and nanofluids with volume concentrations of 0.08%, 0.5% and 1% were investigated. From the experiments, it was found that the unit with electric field pronounced better heat transfer rate, especially at low fan speed. In addition heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer rate in engine cooling system increased with the usage of nanofluids Al2O3/PW compared to Pure Water alone. With the use of nanofluid with concentration of 1% and electric field for fan speed 600 and 1200 rpm, thermal performance factors were in a range between, 1.8–3.2 and 1.6–1.74, respectively. Thermal performance factor is more than 1 in all of cases, and it can be concluded that this technique can be used in car radiators to improve heat transfer.
Development of the Photovoltaics Recycling Network
Authors: Qi Guo  , Kluse Christopher
Published: May 2020

The Photovoltaics (PV) industry has grown rapidly over 15 years. As the number of PV installation sites increases, the amount of the end-of-life PV products will subsequently increase. Therefore, an appropriate recycling process for the PV industry should be established.  This paper described the current situation regarding the economic profits, the recycling policies, and the recycling infrastructure in the PV industry. In order to address the PV recycling issue, a recycling network has been developed to facilitate the PV recycling process. The network considered the facility location and the transportation route optimization, the cost and the environmental impact analysis, and the trade-off analysis. The network can assist the PV recycling process to any local areas.
Loans and Marketing Guarantees in Athlete Agent Recruiting
Authors: Lens Joshua
Published: May 2020

Athlete agents use various means to recruit prospective clients. Controversial yet common methods include offering loans and marketing guarantees to prospective clients. In each transaction, the agent provides his client with money, in some cases amounting to millions of dollars. The agent typically expects repayment of the loan whereas the marketing guarantee is an advance on future marketing income that the agent will arrange for the athlete. While both National Football League Players Association (“NFLPA”) agent regulations and state athlete agent laws prohibit agents from offering inducements to prospective clients, neither authority considers loans or marketing guarantees illicit or prohibits them.

This Article details the use of loans and marketing guarantees in the football agent recruiting process. The Article also explores both NFLPA and state athlete agent law, which is based on the Uniform Athlete Agents Act or its revised version’s prohibitions on athlete agents providing inducements to prospective clients. It describes the fiduciary relationship between athlete agents and their clients and the duties that result under agency law. Next, the Article applies agency law to the provision of loans and marketing guarantees by athlete agents to their clients, determining that agency law seeks to prohibit such transactions. The Article then discusses the application of attorney ethics regulations to attorneys who serve as athlete agents and provide loans and marketing guarantees, finding that attorney-agents who engage in this activity violate ethics regulations. The Article concludes by explaining why both athlete agents and athletes should be leery of these dealings and by urging the NFLPA and individual states to expressly prohibit them.
