La inversión en la elite deportiva versus la práctica popular: Europa y España = Investment in sports elite versus popular practice: Europe and Spain
Authors: Rodríguez Díaz Alvaro
Published: June 2018

Resumen: En España, en la primera década del régimen de 1978 las políticas deportivas se implementaron con un fuerte contenidos social, mejorando las instalaciones públicas dentro de un proceso de democratización del deporte. Posteriormente, en los primeros 1990s, Europa liberalizó los mercados y se apostó por invertir en la alta competición, construir grandes estadios y organizar mega-eventos. España potenció esa política y ello permitió el éxito deportivo de muchos atletas españoles que se integraron en la elite mundial. Contradictoriamente, hubo un aumento del ejercicio físico entre la población como recreación y por razones de salud, más que por competir, y que no tenían una oferta pública adecuada  para realizar su actividad. Esta necesidad popular no fue resuelta por las políticas deportivas ni en Europa ni en España. La metodología de la investigación se basó en la investigación cuantitativa y el análisis comparativo. Los datos analizados proceden de fuentes oficiales y series históricas.Abstract: In Spain, in the first decade of the 1978 regime, sports policies were implemented with a strong social content, improving public facilities within a of democratization process. Subsequently, in the early 1990s, in an international context of market liberalization, the Spanish governments began investing in high competition, building large stadiums and organizing mega-events. There was a sporting success of many Spanish athletes who were integrated into the world elite. Contradictorily, there was an increase in physical exercise among the population, as recreation and for health reasons, rather than competing. But this popular demand was not resolved by sports policies. The methodology was based in quantitative research and comparative analysis. The data analyzed come from official indirect sources using historical series.

Metalinguistic Knowledge/Awareness/Ability in Cognitive Translation Studies: Some Questions
Authors: Halverson Sandra L.
Published: June 2018

Throughout the history of contemporary Translation Studies, theoretical, empirical and pedagogically oriented work has made use of a range of notions that assume a translator’s metalinguistic knowledge, or knowledge about language, rather than knowledge of a language or languages. Examples include ideas such as ‘translation strategies’, translational ‘problem-solving’, ‘the monitor model’ and models of translator competence. Issues related to learning, automatization, and consciousness also figure in many of the discussions. At the same time, studies in bi- and multilingualism and second (and third) language acquisition have also developed a range of related ideas and concepts to deal with some of the same issues and concerns in bi- and multilingual language production more broadly (see e.g. Jessner 2006: 40-43). Some recent translation process studies have begun to target questions related to metalinguistic awareness (e.g. Ehrensberger-Dow/Künzli 2010, Ehrensberger-Dow/Perrin 2009) while the underlying assumptions of some of the commonly used ideas are also being questioned (e.g. Muñoz Martín 2016a). The range of available ideas, the significant differences between them, and the increasingly important role these ideas are playing in cognitive translation research mandate a critical look at this conceptual field. In this paper, I present some current views on metalinguistic knowledge/awareness/ability within the bi- and multilingualism and second language acquisition (SLA) literature, and compare these to some of the most widely used constructs in Cognitive Translation Studies (CTS). The aim is to clear the conceptual ground and to single out some of the most pressing questions to be addressed regarding this particular aspect of translational cognition.
Levels of Explanation and Translation Expertise
Authors: Shreve Gregory M.
Published: June 2018

The observable activity of translation, the series of text comprehension and text production bursts we identify as translation, is the result of the activation of complex underlying cognitive systems. In the conduct of research it is often useful to approach such complex systems using a ‘levels of explanation’ framework. This paper considers David Marr’s (1982) three levels of explanation as they might apply to understanding translation and translation expertise more robustly. In cognitive translation studies to date, we have not really extended our understanding of expertise much past the second (algorithmic/representational) level in Marr’s scheme; we have failed to grapple as effectively as we might with the problem of how the second generation computationalist expertise constructs we adopted almost twenty years ago could be integrated with, for instance, connectionist neural network models of the mind, creating a third generation of expertise models. This paper offers some frameworks laying out how that end might be achieved using, for instance, symbolic connectionism and implementational connectivism. Further, it argues that given the overtly symbolic nature of translation language processing, cognitively-oriented translation scholars are uniquely suited to benefit from approaches that bridge the divide between symbol processing models and connectionist ones.
Le capital psychologique permet-il d’apprendre et de rebondir face à un échec entrepreneurial ?
Authors: De Hoe Roxane , Janssen Frank
Published: June 2018

Bien que l’échec entrepreneurial soit perçu négativement dans la société, plusieurs chercheurs estiment qu’il offre une réelle opportunité d’apprentissage. Cependant, il est parfois difficile d’apprendre à partir d’un échec compte tenu des différents coûts financiers, psychologiques et sociaux qu’il occasionne. Au travers d’un modèle conceptuel, nous proposons un angle d’approche plus positif de l’échec entrepreneurial. Nous suggérons qu’un niveau de capital psychologique élevé joue un rôle modérateur dans la relation entre les conséquences négatives de l’échec et l’apprentissage à partir de l’échec. Cet apprentissage et ce capital psychologique élevé aideraient l’entrepreneur ayant échoué à poursuivre sa carrière entrepreneuriale.
Le rhizome deleuzien, nouvel éclairage du processus entrepreneurial : une théorie de l’entreprendre rhizomatique

Les limites des analyses et préconisations pour la gestion des « risques psychosociaux » dans les organisations en France : quel apport la pensée anthropologique de Georges Bataille pourrait-elle constituer ?
Authors: DE MARCH François
Published: June 2018

Le développement de troubles psychosociaux dans les organisations pouvant aller jusqu’au suicide au travail a donné lieu ces dernières années à de nombreuses publications, analyses et préconisations (souvent dans des rapports officiels) et à des décisions conventionnelles ou réglementaires. Leurs limites pourraient-elles être dépassées par le recours à la pensée de l’écrivain français Georges Bataille (1897-1962)? Ses notions anthropologiques de « dépense », de « souveraineté » et de « communication » sont sollicitées dans cette note de recherche pour penser autrement les « risques psychosociaux » et pour suggérer des pistes pour un management respectueux de l’humanité des hommes au travail.
Environnement, aménagement du territoire et transports fédéraux : fédéralisme coordonné ou subordonné?
Authors: Robitaille David
Published: June 2018

La Cour suprême du Canada favorise une conception souple du fédéralisme, en application des principes du fédéralisme coopératif, de l’interprétation coordonnée des compétences et de la subsidiarité. Elle privilégie, généralement, l’application simultanée des lois validement adoptées par le Parlement et par les provinces. Il est des cas où, cependant, la Cour estime que les compétences d’un palier doivent être protégées contre les empiètements de l’autre. Les doctrines de l’exclusivité des compétences et de la prépondérance fédérale permettent de régler ce genre de situation. La première permet de rendre inapplicable une loi provinciale qui porte gravement atteinte au contenu essentiel d’une compétence fédérale. La seconde peut rendre inopérante une loi provinciale qui contredit la lettre ou l’esprit d’une loi fédérale. La Cour suprême a, plusieurs fois, rappelé que les doctrines de l’exclusivité des compétences et de la prépondérance fédérale ne représentent pas le courant dominant du droit constitutionnel canadien puisqu’elles ont pour conséquence grave de rendre sans effet des lois provinciales validement adoptées. Les critères pour conclure à une entrave au coeur d’une compétence fédérale ou à un conflit de lois véritable sont conséquemment assez stricts. Comme nous le verrons dans ce texte, la jurisprudence récente des tribunaux canadiens tend, au contraire, à élargir ces doctrines au profit d’une conception plus rigide du fédéralisme, favorisant les enclaves autour des compétences fédérales sur les transports, au détriment des compétences provinciales et municipales sur l’environnement et l’aménagement du territoire. Alors que la Cour condamnait l’application asymétrique de ces doctrines dans l’arrêt Banque canadienne de l’Ouest en 2007, il se pourrait que certains juges soient, déjà, en train de revenir à une jurisprudence plus centralisatrice, du moment que des compétences fédérales en matière de transports sont en cause dans un litige.
Preconditions, Regulatory Failure and Corporate Negligence Behind the Lac-Mégantic Disaster
Authors: Campbell Bruce
Published: June 2018

The Lac-Mégantic oil train disaster, July 6, 2013, was not a highly improbable, impossible-to-anticipate event. A number of prior conditions, the product of deliberate regulatory and corporate actions and inactions, contributed to the risk of a major accident. These preconditions include: three decades of railway deregulation under Conservative and Liberal governments under which railways gained increasing freedom to regulate themselves; a weakened, dysfunctional regulator and a flawed safety regime; a negligent company with repeated safety violations and penchant for cutting corners; a regulation-adverse , austerity-minded government indifferent to the growing dangers posed by the increase in the transportation of oil-by-rail; and an industry bent on blocking or weakening potential protective regulations affecting its costs. These preconditions provided the context for a series of mutually reinforcing regulatory failures, which accumulated, and as oil-by-rail grew, so too did the prospects of avoiding an accident diminish, to the point where the question became: when, where and how serious.

Prevencija obuhvata identifikaciju glavnih i pridruženih uzroka oštećenja zdravlja radi njihovog sistematskogotklanjanja ili ublažavanja na nivou celokupne populacije. Na organizacionom nivou deli se na primarnu prevenciju(sprečavanje), sekundarnu prevenciju (lečenje) i tercijarnu prevenciju (rehabilitaciju). Kako bi se navedeni cilj ostvarioneophodan je interdisciplinarni pristup u čijem osmišljavanju i realizaciji ravnopravno učestvuju istraživači iz bazičnihnaučnih oblasti, autori kliničkih ispitivanja, epidemiolozi, statističari, psiholozi i analitičari ljudskog ponašanja, stručnjaciza komunikaciju, ekonomisti, organizatori zdravstvene službe i kreatori zdravstvene politike. Ovakav pristup uvelikoje krunisan uspehom u prevenciji zaraznih bolesti, saobraćajnih, sportskih ili prvreda na radu, kao i mnogih hroničnihnezaraznih oboljenja. Isti princip se, iako to na prvi pogled ne zvuči logično, umnogome može primeniti i na retke bolesti.

Excellent agreement of results is obtained and improved accuracyof the model with the highest continuity is proved to be valid for most cases.
THE INFLUENCE OF COMPONENT MATERIALS TYPES AND APLICATION ON THE CHLORIDE ION CONTENT IN SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE
Authors: Broćeta Gordana
Published: June 2018

Considering that one of the most common causes of reinforcement corrosion, and consequently degradation of concrete structures, are chloride ions, it is of utmost importance to know their concentration in concrete. This paper presents the limitations of the chloride ions content in concrete and classes according to European regulations, and the experimental research on the magnitude of the influence of applied component materials on the chloride content in various types of self-compacting concrete.The research presented that the dominant influence in respect of the increase of the chloride ions content in concrete, is of cement and then of a recycled concrete aggregate. The application of additions - limestone filler and fly ash and river aggregate results in the reduction of the chloride concentration in the concrete.Through factorial analysis, modeling of the functional dependence of chloride content and application of different types of component materials was performed.
3D CADASTRE – A MOTIVATION AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS OF TECHNICAL ASPECTS
Authors: Janečka Karel
Published: June 2018

The paper gives motivation for considering a 3D cadastre based on the registration of 3D spatial units, i.e. the (bounded) amount of space to which a person is entitled by means of real right. This approach gives a better insight into the registration of rights and restrictions. In 2012 the international standard ISO 19152 Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) was approved. The LADM is a conceptual model, its purpose is not to replace the existing systems, but rather to provide a formal language for describing them, so that their similarities and differences can be better understood and it also offers the concepts for the modelling of 3D spatial units. Based on the LADM, country profiles can then be defined and extended. The paper further explores the technical aspects of a 3D cadastre, especially summarizing the main findings and challenges in 3D information modelling and 3D spatial databases for a 3D cadastre.
ANALYSIS OF POSITIONING RESULTS OBTAINED BY A SINGLE BASE RTK WITH AUTONOMOUS BASE START AND TILT OPTION
Authors: Šugar Danijel
Published: June 2018

HPPS service of the CROPOS system is today a fast, reliable, precise and commonly used tool for coordinates determination in Croatia. The advantages of a networked RTK method are well known, but in some situations, a single-base RTK method could be a reliable method for coordinates determination, even without a base station having known coordinates. Single-base RTK method with Autonomous base start can be set up on any (unknown) station with a clear sky and GNSS satellites visibility enabled. Differential corrections are usually broadcast to the rover GNSS receiver via a communication link, enabling the coordinates determination with cm-level precision in real time. Simultaneously, the base GNSS receiver collects static observations for base station determination in post-processing and subsequent rover coordinates shift. In this paper, the above mentioned method was tested on the ground, together with TILT option integrated into newest Topcon GNSS receiver.
3D MODELS OF OBJECTS IN PROCESS OF RECONSTRUCTION
Authors: Radović Jovana
Published: June 2018

Within the last years terrestrial and airborne laser scanning has become a powerful technique for fast and efficient three-dimensional data acquisition of different kinds of objects. Airborne laser system (LiDAR) collects accurate georeferenced data of extremely large areas very quickly while the terrestrial laser scanner produces dense and geometrically accurate data. The combination of these two segments of laser scanning provides different areas of application. One of the applications is in the process of reconstruction of objects. Objects recorded with laser scanning technology and transferred into the final model represent the basis for building an object as it was original. In this paper, there will be shown two case studies based on usage of airborne and terrestrial laser scanning and processing of the data collected by them.
BUILDING HERITAGE AS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR OF CITY BRANDING
Authors: Guzijan Jasna
Published: June 2018

One challenge that present-day cities face as they develop is their having to compete on a global scale and to accentuate that which sets them apart from other cities. In that sense, smaller cities are especially under threat, as they live in the shadow of metropolises in the process of globalization. Recently, place branding has proven itself capable of providing opportunities in terms of development strategies and attracting new investment.This paper examines the role of identity and the possibility of using building heritage in the process of branding, in this particular case, of the City of Banja Luka. This is in connection with the authentic appearance of the city and its tangible as well as intangible cultural heritage, which is all potential for branding. Heritage promotion is of equal importance, i.e., creating an image of the city according to which it transcends its form and built structure. In line with a previously specified methodology, the paper examines the potential roles of these factors in the process of branding of the City of Banja Luka.
FLOOD FREQUENCY ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY IN DESIGN PRACTICE: CASE STUDY OF SREMSKA MITROVICA, SAVA RIVER
Authors: Kondić Nina
Published: June 2018

Flood frequency estimation is one of the most important tasks for hydraulic engineers. Design of hydraulic structures and systems require reliable estimates of high waters, which is not always easy to deliver. In this paper, uncertainty of flood frequency estimation common in practical use is presented in the case study of the Sava River at the Sremska Mitrovica hydrological station. Time series of 42 years daily flow records are statistically analysed on two samples, comprising annual maxima (AM), and peaks over threshold (POT). For uncertainty assessment, samples are analysed for several different scenarios, i.e. varying AM sample length as well as threshold flow for POT. Results indicate large uncertainty of flood frequency estimates, especially in the domen of low probabilities, as well as problem of adopting final value for practical use that will provide safety and optimum cost of the structures.

This paper presents the theoretical basis for the development of the Earth's surface relief digital models. The sources and structure of the modeling data, as well as the methods of their processing, are described, depending on the spatial-temporal properties of the Earth's surface. Digital relief models have great significance and wide application in modern geodetic works. Representation of the spatial structure of the relief can be done with different methods of interpolation. In this paper their mathematical foundations are also given. General indicators of the quality of digital relief models are briefly described.
IMPROVING DESIGN OF DAIRY COWS HOUSING IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Authors: Trkulja Tanja
Published: June 2018

Agriculture represents a very important economic field in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH). The construction and architectural design of dairy cow facilities depend on many factors, primarily the economic and technological conditions, and the geoclimatic features of the area where construction of the agricultural facility is planned. The agricultural facilities must provide proper accommodation for animals, their good production, adequate microclimatic conditions and their presence must not disturb ecological and aesthetic quality of the environment in which they are located. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the design of facades and the design og agricultural facilities. This paper puts an emphasis on clarifying the approaches used in the design of dairy cow facilities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as contemporary approaches of the European Union (EU). The aim of this paper is to indicate how the new approaches apply to design of these types of objects.
ART OF JACKSON POLLOCK IN URBAN PLANNING AND DESIGN - NOTION OF "LIFE" IN CITY SPACE
Authors: Milovanović Valentina
Published: June 2018

There are different definitions of what constitutes the term "life". The background of most of these definitions is appropriate theories: starting with the notion that everything that exists is matter, and life is only its complex form, up to vitalism which considers the principle of life as purely intangible. Forming the general definition of life has always been a major challenge for many experts. The situation is still unchanged. The question is, how in a wide range of different ideas and attitudes, evidence and experiments, to take a stand when it comes to the phenomenon of life in the context of the urban structure of today? Is it possible to use an expressive structure of the painting as a specific activity that is simultaneously based on previously established principles and techniques, but also on a freedom of the artist, as a good example for translating into the urbanistic domain? The paper explores wide connection between "life", urban structure of today's city and painting of Jackson Pollock.
MODERN STRUCTURAL CONCEPTS FOR HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS
Authors: Kovačević Ilda
Published: June 2018

Architecture of high-rise buildings depends on many factors, which greatly vary frominitial concepts, functionality of designed spaces, its proportions to human perception andurban context, and structural support and technological capabilities to support desiredconcept. Thus, in any analysis of the factors that architecture depends on is its structuralsupport, which has to fulfill four primary structural requirements: static equilibrium,stability, strength and rigidity of the structure. A turnover for fast development inconstruction of high-rises occurred in the second half of the 20th century; strong economyforced and supported technological developments, and even the new generation ofcomputers and software helped in the development of more efficient structural systems.Innovative structural systems such as tubular forms, outriggers, diagrids andmegastructures enabled design and construction of high–rise structures as common thingand inevitable part of new living style.
EMPIRICAL DETERMINATION OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PERIOD OF FREE VIBRATION OF RC BUILDINGS
Authors: Radovic Andrija
Published: June 2018

Determining the value of the fundamental period of vibrations of reinforced concrete structures is a complex task. In order to have certain data on the fundamental period of vibration in the earliest design stage, engineers use various approximate methods, which can quickly and simply, but still sufficiently accurate, provide an estimate of the required parameter.The paper presents the most frequently used empirical expressions describing the dependence of the fundamental period in the function of the number of storeys, or the height of the building. All of these expressions, with greater or lesser accuracy, give an estimate of the required value, as shown by a number of examples. A graphic representation of all expressions and their comparison with experimental and numerically derived values has been performed.
RELIABILITY OF THE RESULTS OF THE CALCULATIONS IN THE FUNCTION OF THE SELECTED SOIL MODEL
Authors: Uljarević Mato
Published: June 2018

The reliability of geotechnical calculations is, as it is generally known, in function of the input parameters quality, both in terms of loads, as well as the physical and mechanical soil properties. In addition to above mentioned, reliability of the results of geotechnical analysis is also influenced by selection of constitutive soil model. This paper describes soil models and analyzes the suitability of the model on a real (implemented) geotechnical project.
PAVEMENT STRUCTURES AT THE INTERSECTION AREA
Authors: Zeljić Dragana
Published: June 2018

From the very beginning of the application of modern pavements, it was known that with increasing load on the pavement structure, more attention should be paid to the details during design and construction in order for the pavement structure to reach the planned lifetime. Heavy, slow vehicles that stop, stand, rotate and accelerate transmit the largest possible load on any pavement structure. These phenomena are most frequent at intersections, but also occur at traffic lanes on increased longitudinal slopes, weighing stations, bus stations and stops, parking lots and rest areas, and the like. Due to the need to equalize the characteristics and behavior of all elements of the road, the areas exposed to increased and non-characteristic loads must receive particular attention during design.

In this paper, the principle of application of the FEMA310 document for seismic evaluation of existing buildings is briefly illustrated, for any building type, and examples of evaluation are given for the first and second tier of evaluation process, for two types of masonry structures. The application of this document at tier one and tier two of the evaluation process is a conservative, simplified way of determining seismic resistance, based on many experiential data and including the most important parameters of buildings that can affect seismic resistance. Instructions given by FEMA310 are easy to apply, but are adapted to US standards. Two examples for evaluation of masonry buildings on first and second tier of evaluation are given, for masonry buildings with rigid and flexible diaphragmas.

Polarized epithelial morphogenesis is an essential process in animal development. While this process is mostly attributed to directional cell intercalation, it can also be induced by other mechanisms. Using live-imaging analysis and a three-dimensional vertex model, we identified ‘cell sliding,’ a novel mechanism driving epithelial morphogenesis, in which cells directionally change their position relative to their subjacent (posterior) neighbors by sliding in one direction. In Drosophila embryonic hindgut, an initial left-right (LR) asymmetry of the cell shape (cell chirality in three dimensions), which occurs intrinsically before tissue deformation, is converted through LR asymmetric cell sliding into a directional axial twisting of the epithelial tube. In a Drosophila inversion mutant showing inverted cell chirality and hindgut rotation, cell sliding occurs in the opposite direction to that in wild-type. Unlike directional cell intercalation, cell sliding does not require junctional remodeling. Cell sliding may also be involved in other cases of LR-polarized epithelial morphogenesis.

The lateral-line neuromast of the zebrafish displays a restricted, consistent pattern of innervation that facilitates the comparison of microcircuits across individuals, developmental stages, and genotypes. We used serial blockface scanning electron microscopy to determine from multiple specimens the neuromast connectome, a comprehensive set of connections between hair cells and afferent and efferent nerve fibers. This analysis delineated a complex but consistent wiring pattern with three striking characteristics: each nerve terminal is highly specific in receiving innervation from hair cells of a single directional sensitivity; the innervation is redundant; and the terminals manifest a hierarchy of dominance. Mutation of the canonical planar-cell-polarity gene vangl2, which decouples the asymmetric phenotypes of sibling hair-cell pairs, results in randomly positioned, randomly oriented sibling cells that nonetheless retain specific wiring. Because larvae that overexpress Notch exhibit uniformly oriented, uniformly innervating hair-cell siblings, wiring specificity is mediated by the Notch signaling pathway.

The current scholarly communication landscape is populated by a variety of actors and powered by an ever-increasing array of complementary and competitive systems for the production, publication, and distribution of scholarship. Recent years have also seen increasing numbers of proposals to recast these systems in ways that better align with the needs and values of the academy and its scholars. In this editorial, members of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication consider the present environment and contemplate the future of academy-owned and -supported scholarly communication, as well as the role of libraries in that future.
Biomechanical evidence suggests extensive eggshell thinning during incubation in the Sanagasta titanosaur dinosaurs

The reproduction of titanosaur dinosaurs is still a complex and debated topic. Their Late Cretaceous nesting sites are distributed worldwide and their eggs display substantial morphological variations according to the parent species. In contrast to the typical 1.3–2.0 mm thick shells common to eggs of most titanosaur species (e.g., those that nested in Auca Mahuevo, Tama, Toteşti or Boseong), the Cretaceous Sanagasta eggs of Argentina display an unusual shell thickness of up to 7.9 mm. Their oviposition was synchronous with a palaeogeothermal process, leading to the hypothesis that their extra thick eggshell was an adaptation to this particular nesting environment. Although this hypothesis has already been supported indirectly through several investigations, the mechanical implications of developing such thick shells and how this might have affected the success of hatching remains untested. Finite element analyses estimate that the breaking point of the thick-shelled Sanagasta eggs is 14–45 times higher than for other smaller and equally sized titanosaur eggs. The considerable energetic disadvantage for piping through these thick eggshells suggests that their dissolution during incubation would have been paramount for a successful hatching.
The restoration of the endangeredSambucus palmensisafter 30 years of conservation actions in the Garajonay National Park: genetic assessment and niche modeling

The translocation of individuals or the reinforcement of populations are measures in the genetic rescue of endangered species. Although it can be controversial to decide which and how many individuals must be reintroduced, populations can benefit from reinforcements.Sambucus palmensisis a critically endangered endemic to the Canary Islands. During the past 30 years, the Garajonay National Park (La Gomera) has carried out an intensive program of translocations using cuttings, due to the low germination rates of seeds. To assess the effect of the restorations on the population genetics ofS. palmensisin La Gomera, we collected 402 samples from all the restored sites and all known natural individuals, which were genotyped with seven microsatellite markers. In addition, we conducted a species distribution modeling approach to assess how restorations fit the ecological niche of the species. Results show that there is a high proportion of clone specimens due to the propagation method, and the natural clonal reproduction of the species. Nonetheless, the observed heterozygosity has increased with the restorations and there still are private alleles and unique genotypes in the natural populations that have not been considered in the restorations. The population of Liria constitutes a very important genetic reservoir for the species. To optimize future reintroductions, we have proposed a list of specimens that are suitable for the extraction of seeds or cuttings in a greenhouse, as well as new suitable areas obtained by the species distribution models.

For centuries, zeolites have been used for their utility in binding metals, and they feature in a multitude of agricultural and industrial applications in which the honeycombed zeolite structures form ideal ion exchangers, catalysts and binding agents. Zeolites are currently in a transition period, moving towards implementation in human ailments and diseases. Here, we postulated that zeolites may be able to counter the effects of excess iron and conducted a mouse model trial to gauge the utility of this notion. We used the transgenic mouse strain MexTAg299 for a thirty‐week pilot trial in which iron polymaltose and/or the zeolite clinoptilolite was injected into the peritoneum twice weekly. Mice were sacrificed at the end of the trial period and examined by postmortem and histology for significant physiological differences between mouse subgroups. In this study, we demonstrated that a common zeolite, clinoptilolite, is able to maintain the general health and well‐being of mice and prevent iron‐induced deleterious effects following iron overload. When zeolites are given with iron biweekly as intraperitoneal injections, mice showed far less macroscopic visual organ discoloration, along with near normal histology, under iron overload conditions when compared to mice injected with iron only. The purpose of the present pilot study was to examine potential alternatives to current iron chelation treatments, and the results indicate an advantage to using zeolites in conditions of iron excess. Zeolites may have translational potential for use in cases of human iron overload.
Bio‐Mimicked Silica Architectures Capture Geometry, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties of Marine Diatoms

Published: June 2018

The authors create life‐sized synthetic replicas of marine diatom coscinodiscus sp frustules out of cyclohexyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS). The authors demonstrate that these synthetic structures have biosilica‐like amorphous atomic‐level microstructure and mechanical attributes similar to those of a natural diatom. In situ beam bending and fracture experiments on micron‐sized excised sections of natural and synthetic diatoms reveal similarities in their mechanical properties: a Young's modulus of GPa and a fracture toughness of 0.78 ± 0.10 MPa m−1/2 for the synthetic materials; those of natural diatoms are GPa and MPa m−1/2, respectively. In situ single edge notched beam (SENB) bending fracture experiments reveal that fracture behavior of the natural and synthetic specimens is virtually indistinguishable and is characterized by the same brittle failure and crack‐arresting behavior enabled by the double‐wall geometry. Their fracture toughness is comparable to that of fully dense silica, which suggests that the natural diatoms’ frustule maintains its mechanical resilience even at <50% of the weight attained through multi‐scale architecture. The demonstrated ability to fabricate a synthetic hard biomaterial that is virtually indistinguishable from its natural counterpart while capturing its complex architecture, microstructure, and mechanical properties provides a powerful platform for investigating the specific role of each geometrical feature at every relevant length scale in the often sophisticated, multi‐scale hierarchical construct of hard biomaterials, and provides a robust pathway for property optimization.
Electronics and Fabrics: The Development of Garment‐Based Wearables
Authors: Pailes‐Friedman Rebeccah
Published: June 2018

As the lines between computing and textiles blur, so do the lines between computing and human bodies. Wearable technology is evolving to a point where it pervades many aspects of human lives. One has become accustomed to being surrounded with technological conveniences. Soon, the garments will become mobile devices that will seamlessly connect one to his/her networks. They will give and receive vital information through interfaces that become so integrated into the actions and activities that they become less invasive and more pervasive. This Essay presents a vision for the future of sensor‐enabled garment‐based wearable technology and identifies barriers faced by designers in the creation of wearable technology. Case studies illustrate problems encountered in both a micro‐ and macroscale from three different perspectives uncovered during the discovery and application of various methods of embedding circuits into textiles projects. The identification of five key areas that need changes in order to bridge the gap between textiles and electronics are discussed alongside the benefits of bringing technology “out of the box” which will revolutionize how one approaches many aspects of his/her current lives.
