El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar los efectos de un tratamiento de ultrasonido, combinado con las etapas de flotación y lavado, para mejorar la eficiencia del proceso de destintado del papel de desecho impreso con tecnología láser. El papel oficio de desperdicio fue cortado en piezas pequeñas de alrededor de 3 cm2, y posteriormente desintegrado en un dispositivo especial para obtener una suspensión base agua. Este proceso se hizo con una consistencia de 1.5 % por cinco minutos. Después de desintegrada, la suspensión de fibra se trató en un baño de ultrasonido con dos frecuencias, 25 y 45 kHz. Se tomaron datos a partir de un diseño experimental 25-1 y como factores se consideraron la frecuencia, consistencia, temperatura, el tiempo de tratamiento y el modo de la modulación de la frecuencia (barrido, desgasificación o sin modulación). El tamaño de la partícula y el número de partículas por metro cuadrado en cada etapa del proceso de destintado fueron evaluadas como variables de respuesta. Los resultados indican que la eficiencia en el rompimiento de las partículas de tinta depende de la frecuencia y del modo de modulación usado durante la fase de ultrasonido. El número máximo de partículas de tinta en el intervalo de 50-100 μm (tamaño óptimo por remoción de partícula) se obtuvo al usar la frecuencia de 25 kHz, 0.5 % de consistencia, modulación de 1 y tratamiento de 20 minutos de duración.

Published: March 2018

La aplicación de fungicidas sintéticos es una práctica común en el control de hongos fitopatógenos. Sin embargo, su uso de manera indiscriminada ha traído problemas para la salud humana, animal, medio ambiente y ha generado resistencia en los fitopatógenos. En la búsqueda de alternativas, el control biológico usando microorganismos puede ser una opción eficiente al uso de fungicidas sintéticos. Aunque bacterias y levaduras aisladas de suelo y plantas han sido evaluadas como agentes de control biológico, la búsqueda de nuevos antagonistas continúa. La microflora oceánica puede ser una opción para la selección de nuevos agentes antagonistas. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el potencial antagónico de diferentes bacterias (Stenotrophomonas rhizophila, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens y B. subtilis) y levaduras (Debaryomyces hansenii, Cryptococcus diffluens y Rhodotorula minuta) aisladas previamente de una laguna hiperhialina contra 13 hongos fitopatógenos de importancia agronómica. Los resultados muestran que diferentes cepas de la bacteria S. rhizophila fueron las que ejercieron mayor inhibición sobre la germinación de esporas y crecimiento micelial de todos los hongos fitopatógenos, superando a los tratamientos con fungicidas sintéticos. Dentro de las levaduras destacaron las cepas de D. hansenii. De acuerdo con su capacidad antagónica, los microorganismos marinos pueden ser una opción para el manejo de enfermedades ocasionadas por hongos fitopatógenos.

Published: March 2018

Los elicitores son sustancias de diversas fuentes tanto inorgánicos como orgánicos que pueden inducir efectos fisiológicos y cambios como la activación de respuestas defensivas y la acumulación de fitoalexinas en el organismo al cual son aplicados, por lo cual, el objetivo de esta investigación fue conocer el efecto de la aplicación de dos elicitores de origen natural sobre el vigor de plantas y la calidad de frutos de tomate en condiciones de estrés biótico causado por Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL). Los elicitores de origen natural (E1 y E2) se aplicaron a los 7, 15 y 56 ddt (días después del trasplante); la inoculación del FOL se realizó a los 19 ddt, usando una concentración de 1×106 esporas mL-1. El vigor en las plantas consistió en medir: la incidencia y severidad de la enfermedad, unidades SPAD, conductancia estomática durante el desarrollo de las plantas, altura, peso seco total y rendimiento; así como el pH, sólidos solubles, firmeza y el contenido de vitamina C en los frutos. La aplicación de los elicitores disminuyó la severidad de los síntomas de la enfermedad. El elicitor E2 incrementó la altura de las plantas tratadas, la acumulación de biomasa y evitó la reducción en el rendimiento, también disminuyo el contenido de sólidos solubles en los frutos. Se concluye que la aplicación de elicitores de origen natural provenientes de extractos de plantas tuvo un efecto positivo sobre el vigor de las plantas de tomate inoculadas con FOL al incrementar la altura y la acumulación de biomasa total, además de que se modificaron algunas variables de calidad del fruto.

Published: March 2018

Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs), es una bacteria fitopatógena de gran importancia a nivel mundial conocida por provocar la enfermedad de la marchitez bacteriana. Esta es una enfermedad que devasta numerosos cultivos, entre ellos se encuentra la papa. Con el propósito de encontrar una alternativa natural para controlar la bacteria Rs, se evaluó el poder bactericida de los aceites esenciales de orégano (Thymus vulgaris) y tomillo (Lippia graveolens). La técnica utilizada para el análisis de la actividad antibacteriana fue la difusión en agar, utilizando discos de papel filtro estériles, se evaluaron 3 diferentes diluciones (1:1, 1:5 y 1:10) y se colocaron 7.5, 10 y 15 μl de cada una de las concentraciones de los aceites. Se utilizó alcohol al 70% en uno de los discos de papel filtro como control negativo. Además, se utilizó como control positivo un disco de estreptomicina (10 μg/disco) y otro de ampicilina (10 μg/disco). Se utilizó medio de cultivo agar dextrosa y papa previamente inoculado con la cepa en estudio. Después de la incubación, se midieron los halos de inhibición del crecimiento bacteriano en milímetros. Los análisis fueron por triplicado. Los aceites esenciales de orégano y tomillo mostraron efectos inhibitorios sobre el crecimiento de Rs en la dilución 1:1 que resulto ser más efectiva que el resto de las diluciones evaluadas, y la cantidad aplicada más efectiva fue de 15 μl de aceite esencial de orégano y tomillo en comparación de los antibióticos utilizados. Los aceites esenciales se podrían considerar como una alternativa para el control de Rs en plantas.

Authors: Heling Carlos Alberto , Oliveira Euclides Reuter de , Almeida Rosimeire Aparecida de , Gabriel Andrea Maria de Araújo , Magalhães Angélica Margarete , Souza Alberto Giovani de , Pereira Thaís Lemos
Published: March 2018

O Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA), implantado pelo Governo Federal em 2003, é desenvolvido com recursos interministerial do Ministério de Desenvolvimento Social e Combate à Fome (MDS) e do Ministério do Desenvolvimento Agrário (MDA), e operacionalizado da Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento (CONAB). Suas diretrizes buscam garantir a manutenção de estoques reguladores estratégicos, a fim de impedir desabastecimento no país. Todavia, seu principal objetivo é garantir o acesso a alimentos em quantidades necessárias às populações em situação de insegurança alimentar e nutricional por meio da compra da produção da agricultura familiar e doação simultânea. Assim, o PAA Compra com Doação Simultânea (PAA/CDS), veio a atender reivindicações dos movimentos sociais do campo de uma política pública de comercialização que garantisse o fortalecimento socioeconômico na agricultura familiar, com vistas à soberania alimentar. Portanto, é objetivo desta pesquisa, destacar a importância do PAA para Agricultura Familiar e produzir dados que possam demonstrar que o programa vem sofrendo por parte da atual gestão do Governo Federal e consequentemente no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), contingenciamento orçamentário e a diminuição do alcance dos objetivos princípios originários do programa. Logo, coube investigar a atuação operacional do PAA entre 2012 à 2017, particularmente no tocante ao orçamento anual do programa, avanços, limites e desafios. Por fim, conclui-se que o PAA/CDS, tem obtido sucesso em remover gradativamente o entrave da comercialização dos produtos da agricultura familiar, no entanto, o alcance do programa atualmente possui grave limitação orçamentária para ampliação de suas ações em MS.
Um breve olhar sobre a autonomia de jovens universitários em Campo Grande no período de 2012 a 2017
Authors: Palhano Priscila , Marques Heitor Romero
Published: March 2018

O presente artigo relata como se organizam estudantes universitários que não vivem com os pais em Campo Grande, no período de 2012 a 2017, no sentido de saber como esses jovens se relacionam, quais estruturas desenvolveram - ou não- de autonomia para que possam iniciar a fase adulta em termos sociopsicológicos. Foi também estudados os conceitos, as vantagens e desvantagens da liberdade e medos desses jovens. Por meio de um questionário aplicado com ênfase na metodologia qualitativa e quantitativa a 23 jovens que se deslocaram a Campo Grande no período indicado, a fim de cursar uma universidade e ter novas experiências, longe de seus pais. Foram também consultados artigos e matérias em sites. A pesquisa enquadra-se na tendência empírico-analítico. Os jovens apresentaram forte dificuldade em administrar, principalmente, questões financeiras, pois isso não era uma prática corriqueira para eles nas casas dos pais. Embora em outras áreas já exista uma determinada facilidade – como na limpeza da casa-, a inexperiência em coordenar as atividades de estudos, trabalho, burocracias e vida social ainda pesa na vida desses jovens.
Assédio moral: seus impactos para os trabalhadores assediados e para os empregadores no Brasil
Authors: Nascimento Arthur Ramos do , Cordeiro Neto José
Published: March 2018

O Assédio Moral vem ganhando destaque ao longo dos anos. Seus indícios já vêm desde os primórdios da humanidade e vem evoluindo ao longo do tempo. Com a Revolução Industrial, começou a se dissipar. Nos dias atuais sua prática apesar de não ser proibida por nenhuma lei federal, possui suas restrições como mostra o estudo que foi feito através do Código Civil, Consolidação das Leis Trabalhistas, Constituição Federal de 1988, e também o Código penal entre outros projetos de lei. O presente artigo demonstra que prática do Assédio Moral, acarreta impactos para as organizações que são, como, indenizações por danos morais, imagem da organização exposta na mídia, e problemas de saúde para a vítima entre outros. Possuindo uma pesquisa bibliográfica, o presente artigo abordará o tipo de assédio moral mais comum que é o Assédio Vertical Descendente, e formas de reparação dos danos causados por suas práticas as vítimas.
Avaliação de riscos ergonômicos durante o trabalho odontológico: um estudo de caso
Authors: Tonello Luis Cesar Giansante , Carvalho Emerson Machado de
Published: March 2018

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a percepção e o discurso sobre ergonomia, bem como os principais problemas de postura durante o atendimento odontológico de um cirurgião dentista. Para análise da percepção e discurso do cirurgião-dentista foi utilizado o Teste de Associação Livre de Palavras (TALP), juntamente com a análise do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC); para levantamento da ocorrência de desconforto/dor utilizou-se o diagrama de Corlett e observações e registro fotográfico da condição de trabalho do profissional durante o atendimento. No entanto, foi verificado que o profissional reconhece os riscos ergonômicos e as medidas preventivas e mitigadoras, porém o mesmo não as coloca em prática efetivamente. Além disso, foi verificado que o cirurgião-dentista já apresenta infortúnios, principalmente na região cervical, ombros e pernas, e pescoço e punho esquerdos. As observações das imagens indicaram que o profissional, muitas vezes, se esquece dos princípios ergonômicos e acaba adotando posturas inadequadas e de risco para sua saúde. Com isso, constatou-se que a utilização de ferramentas variadas também permitiu fazer uma análise criteriosa do atendimento odontológico.

Pola hidup sehat merupakan gaya hidup dengan memperhatikan faktor-faktor tertentu yang mempengaruhi kesehatan. Faktor-faktor tertentu tersebut meliputi makanan, gaya hidup dan olahraga. Pada wanita hamil pola hidup sehat penting diterapkan untuk menjaga kesehatan ibu hamil dan janinnya. Data dari Dinas Kesehatan kota Blitar, kasus kematian ibu hamil di kota Blitar mengalami peningkatan. Data persalinan di Klinik Anissa’ Wlingi Kabupaten Blitar dari 3 bulan terakhir terdapat 65 persalinan dan terdapat 8 bayi dengan bobot berat lahir rendah. Disamping perlu menjaga pola hidup sehat pada wanita hamil juga diperlukan pengetahuan untuk menjaga kehamilan, memeriksakan diri kepada dokter kandungan juga sangat penting untuk mengetahui perkembangan kehamilan. Ketersediaan seorang pakar kandungan di Blitar tidak sebanding dengan jumlah pasien wanita hami, Sehingga untuk melakukan konsultasi secara langsung pasien harus melakukan antri, yang menyebabkan terbatasnya waktu untuk berkonsultasi secara langsung. Atas dasar hal ini maka perlu dibuat penelitian terkait sistem pakar pola hidup sehat untuk wanita hamil untuk membantu wanita hamil dalam berkonsultasi untuk mendapatkan informasi dan pengetahuan yang berkaitan dengan pola hidup sehat wanita hamil. Sistem ini dirancang untuk dapat menirukan keahlian seorang pakar dalam melakukan konsultasi seputar pola hidup sehat wanita hamil. Dengan harapan jumlah wanita hamil yang mengalami permasalahan kesulitan dalam berkonsultasi dengan ahli kandungan untuk mengetahui pola hidup sehat saat hamil yang tepat dapat teratasi,dan kasus kematian pada wanita hamil dapat mengalami penurunan.
Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Thyroid: A case Report
Authors: Devkota Ishwor Raj , Shrestha Dipendra , Khadka Subash
Published: March 2018

Background: The thyroid gland lacks the squamous cell and the primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the thyroid gland is an uncommon malignancy with less than 1 % of all thyroid malignancy with a very poor prognosis. So far few cases are reported in the literature with very low survival rates.Case report: A 60 years female presented with a rapidly enlarging right lobe of the thyroid with pain, dysphagia and hoarseness of two months duration. She had hard fixed 4cm x 4cm right lobe of thyroid with right vocal cord paralysis. Ultrasound demonstrates 36mm x 36mm right lobe with mixed echogenicity with calcifications. Fine needle aspiration cytology suggested anaplastic carcinoma. Computed tomography showed heterogeneously enhancing soft tissue density in the right lobe of the thyroid gland measuring 51mm x 37mm x 53mm with shifting of the trachea towards the left side with no significant cervical lymph nodes. CT chest, ultrasonography abdomen and pelvis did not reveal any primary lesion or other metastatic disease and stage was made as T4N0M0. Patient underwent total thyroidectomy with center neck clearance with temporary tracheostomy. Histopathology came out to be squamous cell carcinoma and patient was send for chemo-radiotherapy.Conclusion: Primary squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid is a rare and aggressive entity with poor prognosis. Fine needle aspiration cytology is effective confirmatory tool but efforts shall be made to rule out metastatic SCC originating from other sites. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy alone are ineffective. Aggressive treatment with surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy is recommended to achieve better outcome.Nepalese Journal of ENT Head and Neck Surgery, Vol. 6, No. 1, 2015
Pratiche commerciali scorrette (dip pricing): sanzioni e ruolo dell'Authority in Australia e in Italia
Authors: Mancaleoni Anna Maria
Published: March 2018

Le due decisioni sopra riportate riguardano la violazione del regolamento sulle pratiche commerciali in due situazioni analoghe: in entrambi i casi il costo del biglietto pubblicizzato dall'impresa di trasporto non comprendeva un costo aggiuntivo che veniva addebitato al momento dell'effettivo acquisto del biglietto. Più precisamente, la decisione australiana che sanziona tale violazione segue un'altra decisione dello stesso tribunale che ha accertato la responsabilità: presenti due parti davanti al tribunale, l'Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) da un alto e la compagnia aerea Virgin dall'altro, la sanzione è applicata dal giudice con riferimento all'importo concordato tra le parti (sanzione congiunta), previa valutazione da parte del giudice dell'adeguatezza di tale importo. La decisione italiana è resa dall'Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM), la quale, in un procedimento avviato dall'Autorità stessa nei confronti della compagnia marittima Moby, ne stabilisce la responsabilità, vieta la diffusione e la prosecuzione della pratica e condanna la società stessa al pagamento di un sanzione
A theoretical contribution to 21st Century problems in financial reporting
Authors: Alexander David , Fasiello Roberta
Published: March 2018

The Italian tradition known as ‘Economia Aziendale' is longstanding and well known in Italy. It broadly spans the 20th Century, with its apotheosis appearing in the 1920s with Gino Zappa. It is not very well-known elsewhere. Its logical conclusions for financial reporting are not applied in practice in Italy, and indeed never have been. They are not applied in the (very different) field of IFRS and European Directive requirements either. Our research question is to investigate the proposition that they significantly should be so applied. Our key area of study, therefore, is the complex and multi-faceted problem of income measurement and asset valuation, valuation issues in short. In order to properly investigate these considerations, we present a thorough survey of the theoretical development and arguments of the EA tradition, showing its logicality and usefulness, and contrasting these effects with the present-day regulatory systems. This forms the major theoretical element of the paper. In summary, therefore, the paper could be characterised as an analytical presentation of major theoretical arguments, with significant application to the real world of today and tomorrow. The EA tradition is not new. But we demonstrate its current relevance, and expose it to an international audience.
Potential of IFRS 8: Managerial "customization", relevance of subsidiaries and separate financial statements
Authors: Cuccia Andrea
Published: March 2018

Nowadays companies are engaged in an increasingly competitive and global arena, where informational imbalances between companies and investors might be seen as a constraint to the correct functioning of markets. Breakdown of infor-mation by segments might be seen as an attempt to intercept different information needs about each circumscribed area of economic activities individually identified within entity-group. This paper is first intended to figure out, by resorting to practical examples, the effects of full management approach on IFRS 8 segment reporting structure. Then, in the light of the state of art arising from IFRS 8 Post-Implementation Review and the latest criticisms, in order to guarantee its useful-ness, it calls for a more awareness of the multi-faceted nature of segment reporting as a planning and control tool. Besides, merit of segment reporting is to recovery subsidiaries data elided within the consolidated financial statements. Following this perspective, separate financial statements, depicting subsidiaries in terms of in-vestments and profits and losses flowing respectively into balance sheet and in-come statements, is bound to provide a synthetic overview of all the business areas occupied by entity-group.
Dialogue with standard setters
Authors: Monda Mario , Fiume Raffaele
Published: March 2018

There had been several international accounting principles about the accounting treatment for business combinations, over the past years. Last June 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board proposed to amend IFRS 3 Business Combinations with the aim of clarifying the definition of a business. The motivation that pushed the Board to propose the Exposure Draft was to inform that there is a diversity in practice in accounting for previously held interests in the assets and liabilities of a joint operation in two kinds of transaction, those in which an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation and those in which it obtains joint control of a business that is a join operation. The purpose of the following review is to identify whether the board has reached the desired objective, and leads through the historical analysis of the accounting standards concerning business combinations, the analysis of the Exposure Draft and especially the analysis of the comments letters.
Psicologia dell'escursionismo (1897)
Authors: Ferenczi Sándor
Published: March 2018

Viene presentato, nella prima traduzione a livello internazionale, lo scritto preanalitico di Sándor Ferenczi del 1897 "Psicologia dell'escursionismo", pubblicato nelle pagine seguenti di Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane (2018, 52, 1: 51-54). È il primo articolo scritto da Ferenczi. Viene brevemente descritta l'atmosfera culturale in cui Ferenczi visse a Budapest, e sottolineato il ruolo precursore da lui avuto nella formulazione di quella che negli anni 1970 George S. Klein chiamerà "teoria clinica", e anche nel pensiero di autori come Merton M. Gill.
Alpinismo con Ferenczi, oltre Ferenczi

Published: March 2018

L'Autore, filosofo e psicoanalista, nonché membro del Club Alpino Italiano (CAI), offre un breve commento sull'articolo di Sándor Ferenczi del 1897 "Psicologia dell'escursionismo", pubblicato nelle pagine precedenti di Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane (2018, 52, 1: 51-54). Rilevate talune peculiari sensibilità del giovane Ferenczi, allora ventiquattrenne, nell'affrontare le motivazioni di escursionismo e alpinismo, l'Autore mira poi a contestualizzarne l'approccio rispetto agli sviluppi dell'alpinismo e alle maggiori possibilità interpretative offerte in tema dalla psicoanalisi, alle quali Ferenczi avrebbe dato indirettamente un contributo.
Analysis of Stress Indicators for Evaluation of Animal Welfare and Meat Quality in Traditional and Jewish Slaughtering
Authors: Bozzo Giancarlo , Barrasso Roberta , Marchetti Patrizia , Roma Rocco , Samoilis Giorgio , Tantillo Giuseppina , Ceci Edmondo
Published: March 2018

Sixty Charolais male beef cattle of eight months of age were divided into two groups according to the slaughtering method, i.e., traditional or Kosher (religious Jewish rite). The aim of the study was to detect and compare the plasma concentrations of cortisol and catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine), by Elisa and HPLC test. These four stress indicators were evaluated during three different stages of each animal productive life: on the farm (step 1), after transportation (step 2) and during bleeding (step 3). The patterns of the parameters measured were similar and, interestingly, revealed significant changes throughout the three steps considered. The greatest variation between the two methods of slaughtering was observed in step 3, where we found a statistically significant difference with all the parameters except epinephrine. In the animals slaughtered by the religious rite, cortisol, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine were 68.70 ± 30.61 nmol/L; 868.43 ± 508.52 ng/L; 3776.20 ± 1918.44 ng/L; and 4352.20 ± 3730.15 ng/L, respectively, versus 45.08 ± 14.15 nmol/L; 513.87 ± 286.32 ng/L; 3425.57 ± 1777.39 ng/L; and 3279.97 ± 1954.53 ng/L, respectively, in the other animals. This suggests that the animals slaughtered by the Kosher rite are subjected to higher stress conditions at the exsanguination phase. The animals slaughtered by the religious Jewish rite showed lower cortisol and catecholamine levels on the farm (step 1) and after transportation to the slaughterhouse (step 2). This was likely because the animals selected at the end of step 1 by the Rabbis for the religious rite are usually the most docile and gentle.

Published: March 2018

This paper presents an application to detect and track obstacles using a multilayer laser scanner. The goal of the detection system is to develop collision avoidance for the Light Rail Vehicle (LRV). The laser scanner, which is mounted in front of the tram, collects information in a four-scan plane. The object recognition and tracking module, which is composed of a three sub-modules segmentation, classification, and Kalman Filter tracking, was carried out on the raw data. Thus, data were provided for collision avoidance module. The proposed system was applied to a tram named “Silkworm” which is manufactured by Durmazlar Machine Inc. (Bursa, Turkey) and initial experimental tests have been conducted at the facilities of Durmazlar Machine Inc. in the city of Bursa, Turkey. This study aims to illustrate parts of the possible tests that can be carried out and to share with the scientific community an important application of multilayer laser scanners, although in the initial implementation phase, in urban rail transportation.
Micro-Scale Properties of Different Bora Types

In this paper we use 20 Hz wind measurements on three levels (2, 5, and 10 m) to investigate the differences in micro-scale properties of different bora types, i.e., deep and shallow bora with further subdivision to cyclonic and anticyclonic bora cases. Using Fourier spectral analysis, we investigate a suitable turbulence averaging scale and bora gust pulsations. The obtained data set is further used to test the Monin–Obukhov similarity theory, the surface layer stratification, the behavior of the terms in the prognostic turbulence kinetic energy equation, and the wind profiles. One of our main goals is to identify possible micro-scale differences between shallow and deep bora types because of the possible different mountain wave dynamics in those flows. We found that a turbulence averaging scale of 30 min is suitable for this location and is in agreement with previous bora studies. The wind speed power spectral densities of all selected bora episodes showed pulsations with periods of 2–8 min. This suggests that mountain wave breaking was present in all cases, regardless of flow depth and synoptic type. The stability parameter analysis confirmed the near-neutral thermal stratification of bora; a consequence of intensive mechanical mixing. No significant differences related to bora type were observed in other micro-scale parameters.
Estimating Hourly Beam and Diffuse Solar Radiation in an Alpine Valley: A Critical Assessment of Decomposition Models
Authors: Laiti Lavinia , Giovannini Lorenzo , Zardi Dino , Belluardo Giorgio , Moser David
Published: March 2018

Accurate solar radiation estimates in Alpine areas represent a challenging task, because of the strong variability arising from orographic effects and mountain weather phenomena. These factors, together with the scarcity of observations in elevated areas, often cause large modelling uncertainties. In the present paper, estimates of hourly mean diffuse fraction values from global radiation data, provided by a number (13) of decomposition models (chosen among the most widely tested in the literature), are evaluated and compared with observations collected near the city of Bolzano, in the Adige Valley (Italian Alps). In addition, the physical factors influencing diffuse fraction values in such a complex orographic context are explored. The average accuracy of the models were found to be around 27% and 14% for diffuse and beam radiation respectively, the largest errors being observed under clear sky and partly cloudy conditions, respectively. The best performances were provided by the more complex models, i.e., those including a predictor specifically explaining the radiation components’ variability associated with scattered clouds. Yet, these models return non-negligible biases. In contrast, the local calibration of a single-equation logistical model with five predictors allows perfectly unbiased estimates, as accurate as those of the best-performing models (20% and 12% for diffuse and beam radiation, respectively), but at much smaller computational costs.

We use origami to create a compact, scalable three-dimensional (3-D) biobattery stack that delivers on-demand energy to the portable biosensors. Folding allows a two-dimensional (2-D) paper sheet possessing predefined functional components to form nine 3-D microbial fuel cells (MFCs), and connect them serially within a small and single unit (5.6 cm × 5.6 cm). We load the biocatalyst Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in predefined areas that form the MFCs, and freeze-dry them for long-term storage. The biobattery stack generates a maximum power and current of 20 μW and 25 μA, respectively, via microbial metabolism when the freeze-dried cells are rehydrated with readily available wastewater. This work establishes an innovative strategy to revolutionize the fabrication, storage, operation, and application of paper-based MFCs, which could potentially make energy available even in resource-limited settings.

Geospatial information plays an important role in environmental modelling, resource management, business operations, and government policy. However, very little or no commonality between formats of various geospatial data has led to difficulties in utilizing the available geospatial information. These disparate data sources must be aggregated before further extraction and analysis may be performed. The objective of this paper is to develop a framework called PlaniSphere, which aggregates various geospatial datasets, synthesizes raw data, and allows for third party customizations of the software. PlaniSphere uses NASA World Wind to access remote data and map servers using Web Map Service (WMS) as the underlying protocol that supports service-oriented architecture (SOA). The results show that PlaniSphere can aggregate and parses files that reside in local storage and conforms to the following formats: GeoTIFF, ESRI shape files, and KML. Spatial data retrieved using WMS from the Internet can create geospatial data sets (map data) from multiple sources, regardless of who the data providers are. The plug-in function of this framework can be expanded for wider uses, such as aggregating and fusing geospatial data from different data sources, by providing customizations to serve future uses, which the capacity of the commercial ESRI ArcGIS software is limited to add libraries and tools due to its closed-source architectures and proprietary data structures. Analysis and increasing availability of geo-referenced data may provide an effective way to manage spatial information by using large-scale storage, multidimensional data management, and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) capabilities in one system.

Authors: Vilela Alice , Cosme Fernanda , Pinto Teresa
Published: March 2018

Emulsions and foams form the basis of an extensive variety of materials used in the beverage industry. One of the characteristics of beverage emulsions is that they are rather diluted, contain little amounts of a dispersed oil phase in the finished product, and must remain physically stable for long periods of time. Nowadays, the consumers ask for more than a drink. Thus, in the market, we can find a vast variety of beverages, where emulsion science seems to be the main factor for controlling flavor, color, the presence of constituents of technological or nutritional value, nutraceutical/bioactive components and, also, turbidity. This work intends to make an overview of the recent advances in beverage-emulsions technology. Some examples are given within the very large world of the beverage industry, from cream liqueurs, soft drinks, and functional beverages, to bottled water, fruit drinks, sparkling wine, and beer.
Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment of Drug-Resistant Epilepsy

Published: March 2018

Despite appropriate trials of at least two antiepileptic drugs, about a third of patients with epilepsy remain drug resistant (intractable; refractory). Epilepsy surgery offers a potential cure or significant improvement to those with focal onset drug-resistant seizures. Unfortunately, epilepsy surgery is still underutilized which might be in part because of the complexity of presurgical evaluation. This process includes classifying the seizure type, lateralizing and localizing the seizure onset focus (epileptogenic zone), confirming the safety of the prospective brain surgery in terms of potential neurocognitive deficits (language and memory functions), before devising a surgical plan. Each one of the above steps requires special tests. In this paper, we have reviewed the process of presurgical evaluation in patients with drug-resistant focal onset epilepsy.

Published: March 2018

During the catalytic combustion reaction of methane, the migration of the active species on surface facilitates the catalytic reaction, and the element doping can improve the redox performance of the catalyst. Nitrogen-modified perovskite type composite catalysts were prepared by hydrothermal method and then characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), temperature-programmed reductions (TPR), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The results revealed that nitrogen sources (urea, biuret, melamine, carbohydrazide, and semicarbazide hydrochloride) and nitrogen source addition changed the catalytic performance in physical and chemical properties, the migration of reactive species and the catalytic performance. When the addition amount of semicarbazide hydrochloride was three times that of LaCoO3, the composite catalysts had high Co3+/Co2+ (1.39) and Oads/Olat (15.18) and showed the best catalytic performance: the temperatures that are required for achieving methane conversion of 50% and 90% were 277 and 360 °C, which are more effective than noble metal oxides. Moreover, the in situ diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) were applied to elucidate the efficient for CH4 removal and also can further explain the surface reaction mechanism of the composite catalyst during the methane catalytic combustion.

The preparation and characterization of new salts based on the dissymmetrical TTF derivative CNB-EDT-TTF (cyanobenzene-ethylenedithio-tetrathiafulvalene) and BF4− anions, are reported. Depending on the electrocrystallization conditions salts with different stoichiometries, (CNB-EDT-TTF)BF4 and β”-(CNB-EDT-TTF)4BF4, can be obtained. The 1:1 salt is an electrical insulator isostructural to the ClO4 analogue previously described. The 4:1 salt is a new member of the family of 2D metals of this donor with different small anions X, (CNB-EDT-TTF)4X, characterized by a bilayer arrangement of the donors and it was obtained in a monoclinic polymorph with a β”-type donor packing pattern. The small anions in this compound are severely disordered between the donor bilayers, which present slightly larger lattice parameters than the isostructural ClO4 analogue. Both electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power measurements in single crystals denote metallic properties as predicted by electronic band structure calculations. As a consequence of the anion disorder the metallic regime of the electrical conductivity denotes electronic localization effects with a progressive increase of resistivity below ~25 K. Because of the larger lattice parameters the intermolecular interactions and electronic bandwidth are decreased compared to other (CNB-EDT-TTF)4X salts. The large and positive thermoelectric power S of this compound (~110 μV/K in the range 100–330 K) and its electrical conductivity σ = 20 S/cm at room temperature lead to a power factor S2σ = 24 μW/K2m, quite large among molecular conductors, placing these compounds as potential candidates for thermoelectric materials.
Thermodynamic Picture of Dimer-Mott Organic Superconductors Revealed by Heat Capacity Measurements with External and Chemical Pressure Control

Published: March 2018

This article reviews and discusses the thermodynamic properties of dimer-Mott-type molecular superconductive compounds with (BEDT-TTF)2X composition, where BEDT-TTF is bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene and X denotes counter-anions, respectively. We focus mainly on the features occurring in the κ-type structure in which the d-wave superconductive phase appears depending on the Coulomb repulsion U and the bandwidth W, which is tunable by external and chemical pressures. First, we report the high-pressure ac (alternating current) calorimetry technique and experimental system constructed to measure single-crystal samples of molecule-based compounds to derive low-temperature thermodynamic parameters. Using extremely small resistance chips as a heater and a thermometer allows four-terminal detection of an accurate temperature and its oscillation in the sample part with sufficient sensitivity. From the analyses of the temperature dependence of the ac heat capacity of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 under external pressures, we discuss the changes in the peak shape of the thermal anomaly at the superconductive transition temperature Tc at various external pressures p. The rather sharp peak in CpT−1 at Tc = 9.1 K with a strong coupling character at ambient pressure is gradually reduced to weaker coupling as the pressure increases to 0.45 GPa concomitant with suppression of the transition temperature. This feature is compared with the systematic argument of the chemical–pressure effect on the basis of thermal anomalies around the superconductive transition of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2X compounds and other previously studied typical dimer-Mott 2:1 compounds. Finally, the discussion is extended to the chemical pressure effect on the normal state electronic heat capacity coefficient γ obtained by applying magnetic fields higher than Hc2 and the residual γ*, which remains in the superconductive state due to the induced electron density of states around the node structure. From the overall arguments with respect to both chemical and external pressures, we suggest that a crossover of the electronic state inside the superconductive phase occurs and the coupling strength of electron pairs varies from the electron correlation region near the metal-insulator boundary to the band picture region.
