O PERIGO POPULISTA NA HIPÓTESE DE TRANSIÇÃO DA DEMOCRACIA DELEGATIVA PARA A DE TIPO CONTÍNUA NO BRASIL
Authors: Marques Gabriel Lima , Vieira José Ribas
Published: November 2018

Desde 2013 o mundo assiste o Brasil se transformar em um grande palco de reclamações. Descontentamentos dos mais variados, reivindicações das mais plurais, ideologias das mais diversas, parecem cada qual querer pôr luz sobre algum aspecto defeituoso da vida política nacional. Subjacente a essa realidade, porém, o presente artigo parte do pressuposto de que ainda que haja divergências de leitura e de respostas, o que o mesmo assume estar em jogo no centro desses movimentos é o modelo de Democracia que se quer transmitir para as próximas gerações. Afinal, por ser a democracia um processo de constante mutação e aperfeiçoamento, a emergência no cenário político de cidadãos desconfiados das instâncias investidas de poder, se a princípio, porque favorece o accountability, pode ter o ponto positivo de encaminhar o Brasil para a saída de uma experiência delegativa e rumar para uma de tipo contínua. Por outro lado, é possível também que a desconfiança geral manipulada pelo populismo, o que nesse contexto pode surgir, possa terminar favorecendo o continuísmo.
Análise dos limites da obediência hierárquica no direito penal à luz do experimento de Milgram
Authors: Ferreira Carlos Lelio Lauria , Pompeu Gina Marcilio Vidal
Published: November 2018

Por meio do presente artigo, elabora-se análise dos limites da obediência hierárquica no Direito Penal à luz do experimento de Stanley Milgram. Justifica-se a escolha do tema por entender-se que se trata de questão desconsiderada no mundo jurídico-penal brasileiro e, de certa forma, pouco explorada no meio acadêmico. O objetivo da pesquisa é mostrar, inicialmente, que o Código Penal brasileiroincorre na omissão sobre aspectos relevantes que justificam a isenção de pena do agente. Para demonstrar essa incongruência, é feita comparação entre a lei penal, a doutrina e a jurisprudência criminal com os resultados do experimento de Milgram, dando-se ênfase para os limites dentro dos quais é possível aceitar-se o reconhecimento de uma excludente de culpabilidade sob o pálio da obediência hierárquica. O problema constatado na abordagem é a previsão sobre a obediência hierárquica no Direito Penal comum e no militar, exsurgindo daí a necessidade de questionar-se o reconhecimento de uma excludente de culpabilidade sob o pálio da obediência hierárquica. A metodologia utilizada é a analítica, empírica, com conceitos jurídicos e normativos no âmbito do Direito e da Psicologia. Os conceitos utilizados levam em consideração a realidade social, bem como o entendimento doutrinário e jurisprudencial sobre a matéria. Espera-se obter como resultado do trabalho o esclarecimento da importância da correta aplicação do instituto da obediência hierárquica, considerando a mudança na lei penal.

Este trabalho tem como tema o fenômeno do aumento da população carcerária feminina no sistema prisional brasileiro. Para fins de identificação do contingente de mulheres presas e análise do perfil, delimitou o estudo no caso de encarceramento feminino no estado de Rondônia, tendo como base inicial o Relatório InfopenMulheres, 2ª edição, publicado pelo Ministério da Justiça e Segurança Pública e Departamento Penitenciário Nacional, em 2017, sobre a população prisional feminina por unidade da Federação, onde informa que Rondônia conta com 721 mulheres privadas de liberdade, ocupando a 16ª posição da lista (2017). Analisa a Lei Maria da Penha (Lei n. 11.340/2006) na qual dispõe, conforme sua ementa, de mecanismos que tem como finalidade coibir a violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher, nos termos do art. 226, §8º, da Constituição Federal de 1988, da Convenção sobre a Eliminação de Todas as Formas de Discriminação contra as Mulheres e da Convenção Interamericana para Prevenir, Punir e Erradicar a Violência contra a Mulher, dentre outras providências. Todavia, apesar do transcurso, muitos obstáculos ainda circundam a aplicação da Lei n. 11.340/2006, de ordem material (falta ou ineficácia dos serviços) e pessoal, que vão desde ao desconhecimento da Lei por parte da população, à diversidade de entendimento entre os aplicadores do direito. A pesquisa qualitativa foi realizada em duas etapas, sendo para a primeira a adoção dos procedimentos metodológicos de base documental e bibliográfica com ênfase nos Direitos Humanos e na Lei Maria da Penha; e a segunda de observação participativa, com aplicação de 24 questionários e entrevistas feitas na Penitenciária Feminina de Ji-Paraná (RO), nos dias 17/12/2017 a 14/01/2018 e 21/01/2018, com as presidiárias que permitiram a participação, a fim de, com a coleta dos seguintes dados: estado de origem, faixa etária, cor ou raça, grau de escolaridade, estado civil, condição socioeconômica medida pelo salário mínimo vigente no Brasil, quantidade de filhos, orientação sexual, traçar o perfil sociodemográfico da população feminina privada de liberdade nesse estabelecimento penal, para análises e posteriores propostas de atendimento aos seus direitos como mulher
The Effect of Filler Orientation and Distribution on the Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Graphene Based Polymer Nanocomposites
Authors: Rajamani Praveen Kannan , Boros Róbert
Published: November 2018

The aim of my proposed study is to develop an alternative production technique of graphene via in-situ exfoliation of graphite in the hosting polymer matrix. The production process is carried out by an alternative top-down production technique for graphene-based polymer nanocomposites called ‘pressing and folding’ (P&F), via in situ exfoliation of expanded graphite (EG) inside the hosting linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) matrix. In this way, the properties of the samples containing different wt % of EG is studied as a function of P&F cycles, corresponding to EG exfoliation and distribution throughout the matrix volume. The results confirm that the EG particles was exfoliated completely and increasingly distributed in LLDPE with the number of cycles, and mainly oriented on the plane of the samples. This find was confirmed by a low in-plane resistivity was found for samples prepared between 50 and 150 cycles.
Equipment selection based on two different fuzzy multi criteria decision making methods: Fuzzy TOPSIS and fuzzy VIKOR
Authors: Alpay Serafettin , Iphar Melih
Published: November 2018

Deciding on equipment from a set of feasible alternatives for excavation purpose in open pit mines is a critical task for the engineers and contractors since it considerably affects the project costs and productivity. Alternatives of rock excavation equipment, which are deemed suitable for the diggability of rock units in open pits, can have many technical specifications or factors that should be considered simultaneously. It can be successfully selected in a scientific way by employing multi-criteria decision making methods by means of taking the advantage of engineering knowledge, intuition and past experiences. In this study, we select the most convenient hydraulic excavator for a magnesite mine by fuzzy multi criteria decision making methods: fuzzy TOPSIS and fuzzy VIKOR. The fuzzy approach allows the experienced engineers to compare the multiple criteria (technical factors) and the possible alternatives of rock excavation machines by simply using linguistic expressions in their natural language.
Gas Desorption of Low-Maturity Lacustrine Shales, Trassic Yanchang Formation, Ordos Basin, China

Published: November 2018

Recent exploration activities on Triassic Yan-chang Formation has indicated significant potential for shale-gas resources. Even though some areas have been put into pilot production, challenge exists in effectively determining shale-gas content, whichmake it difficult to estimate reserve and forecast production. This is primarily due to the low maturity of the shale and complicated relationships between oil, water and gas. However, studies on the gas generation and accumulation of low-maturity shales are lacking in the literature and previous desorption experiments did not consider the effects of oil and water. In this study, eight core samples are used to run the gas-desorption experiment. Shale-gas composition and isotopic fractionation data are analyzed to provide insights on gas adsorption, expulsion and accumulation processes in the Yanchang Formation. The experiment results indicate that the overall methane content decreases (from 68.8% to 58.9%), heavy hydrocarbon-gas content (from 20.30% to 36.12%) and δ13C1 increase (from -51.43% to - 34.63%) during the desorption process. Gas yield reached up to 3.89 m3/t shale, and the content of lost gas can account for more than 20% of total desorbed gas during the coring process. The recoverable shale gas content is estimated to be 80% of the total gas-desorption volume. Desorbing the rest 20% requires extra heating under much higher temperature.

Published: November 2018

Objective

To determine the association between pre-gravid obesity and stillbirth.

Methods

A retrospective study of a population-based dataset of births at ≥34 weeks’ gestation. We excluded fetal deaths due to lethal anomalies and intrapartum fetal deaths. We calculated the incidence of stillbirths, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions per ongoing pregnancies for each gestational week in the two body mass index (BMI) categories (≥30 vs.<30).

Results

Pre-pregnancy obesity (BMI≥30), pre-pregnancy diabetes, oligo- and polyhydramnios, being small for gestational age (SGA) and preeclampsia were significantly associated with stillbirth. However, the only pre-gravid factor that is amenable to intervention was obesity [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.0; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.20, 3.3]. The rates of stillbirth seem to increase with gestational age in both BMI categories. RDS and NICU admission would be presented.

Conclusion

Birth near term might reduce stillbirths and decrease NICU admissions occurring in term and in post-term obese women. This presumable advantage might be offset by the potential risk of labor induction and cesarean section among obese women. Women of childbearing age with a BMI≥30 should be counseled about these risks of obesity during pregnancy and childbirth.
Thermal tuning capabilities of semiconductor metasurface resonators
Authors: Lewi Tomer , Butakov Nikita A. , Schuller Jon A.
Published: November 2018

Metasurfaces exploit optical phase, amplitude, and polarization engineering at subwavelength dimensions to achieve unprecedented control of light. The realization of all dielectric metasurfaces has led to low-loss flat optical elements with functionalities that cannot be achieved with metal elements. However, to reach their ultimate potential, metasurfaces must move beyond static operation and incorporate active tunability and reconfigurable functions. The central challenge is achieving large tunability in subwavelength resonator elements, which requires large optical effects in response to external stimuli. Here we study the thermal tunability of high-index silicon and germanium semiconductor resonators over a large temperature range. We demonstrate thermal tuning of Mie resonances due to the normal positive thermo-optic effect (dn/dT>0) over a wide infrared range. We show that at higher temperatures and longer wavelengths, the sign of the thermo-optic coefficient is reversed, culminating in a negative induced index due to thermal excitation of free carriers. We also demonstrate the tuning of high-order Mie resonances by several linewidths with a temperature swing of ΔT<100 K. Finally, we exploit the large near-infrared thermo-optic coefficient in Si metasurfaces to realize optical switching and tunable metafilters.
New sulfur-containing polymeric sorbents based on 2,2′-thiobisethanol dimethacrylate
Authors: Ronka Sylwia
Published: November 2018

The first step in obtaining of a specific polymer sorbent containing sulfur atoms was the synthesis of a functional monomer – 2,2′-thiobisethanol dimethacrylate (TEDM). Synthesis consists of the reaction of 2,2′-thiobisethanol with methacryloyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine in methylene chloride. The new poly(dimethacrylate)s materials containing sulfur atoms were synthesized in radical suspension polymerization. Homopolymerization of 2,2′-thiobisethanol dimethacrylate and its copolymerization with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate or pentaerythritol tetraacrylate were carried out. The selection of synthesis conditions determines the parameters of the polymer structure and its properties. The presence of sulfur atoms in polymer chains resulted in specific donor-acceptor interactions, which can intensify sorption ability towards metal ions belonging to the group of soft acids. Therefore, the sorption properties of the obtained materials have been determined based on the recovery of precious metal ions, such as gold(III) and silver(I).
A gentle introduction to gasotransmitters with special reference to nitric oxide: biological and chemical implications
Authors: Mir Jan Mohammad , Maurya Ram Charitra
Published: November 2018

Nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are gaseous molecules of major impact in biology. Despite their toxicity, these molecules have profound effects on mammalian physiology and major implications in therapeutics. At tiny concentrations in human biology, they play key signaling and regulatory functions and hence are now labeled as “gasotransmitters.” In this literature survey, an introduction to gasotransmitters in relevance with NO, CO and H2S has been primarily focused. A special attention has been given to the conjoint physiological, pathophysiological and therapeutic aspects of NO in this work. In addition to the aforementioned elements of the investigation being reported, this report gives a detailed account of some of the recent advancements covering the NO release from both the nitro as well as nitroso compounds. The importance of the metallic center on the eve of producing the reduction center on NO and to develop photolabile properties have been elaborated within the effect of a few examples of metallic centers. Also, theoretical investigations that have been reported in the recent past and some other current theories pertaining to NO chemistry have been enlightened in this review. From the overall study, it is eminent that a number of facts are yet to be explored in context with NO for deeper mechanistic insights, model design for these molecules, other key roles and the search to find the best fit formalism in theoretical chemistry.
A Vector Angle Method of Rolling Bearing Fault Classification by Phase-Space Reconstruction Technique
Authors: Huang Weidi , Gan Chunbiao
Published: November 2018

A fault classification method is developed by the phase-space reconstruction technique for a rotor system with a rolling bearing fault. Based on the nonlinear time series analysis, proper choices on time delay and embedding dimension are firstly discussed to accomplish the phase-space reconstruction from an arbitrarily one-dimensional time series, then the vector angle calculation is derived for each point in the reconstructed trajectory of an illustrating artificial signal, from which the vector angles of the points are composed of 90° and non-90° ones. To perform the fault feature analysis of the rolling bearing, an experimental rig of the rotor-bearing system and dynamical model of the system are established to collect the one-dimensional acceleration signals of three types of rolling bearing faults, and the topology of the reconstructed trajectory in three-dimensional phase space is characterized. It is interesting to find that the effects of various rolling bearing faults on the reconstructed trajectories are different, and the fault features can be extracted successfully by the distribution percentage of 90° and non-90° vector angles of the points in the reconstructed trajectory in three-dimensional phase space, which cannot be identified by the traditional attractor reconstruction method. Moreover, the higher the fault frequency, the lower proportion the healthy points.

Los manatíes (Trichechus manatus manatus) son mamíferos herbívoros y de hábitos oportunistas, se alimentan de casi 60 especies de plantas. El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar los elementos de la dieta del manatí por medio de análisis de heces en dos sitios en México (Jonuta, Tabasco y Bahía de la Ascensión, Quintana Roo) y uno en Belice (Southern Lagoon). Las muestras provienen de manatíes de vida libre y en cautiverio que fueron capturados temporalmente para muestreo y evaluación de su salud durante el período 2004-2006. Un total de 24 muestras fueron procesadas. La identificación de los elementos de la dieta se basó en el análisis microhistológico de las heces y la separación de los ítems para su posterior comparación con material bibliográfico y colecciones histológicas. También se revisaron las muestras para la búsqueda de invertebrados. Las especies vegetales identificadas fueron: Thalassia testudinum, Rhizophora mangle, Halodule wrightii, Ruppia sp. y Panicum sp., esta última confirmada por primera vez para México. No se encontró evidencia de invertebrados en las muestras. El orden de importancia relativa de consumo de las especies vegetales por los manatíes coincide con lo reportado para otras regiones de América.

Access to the Medical Home Among Children With and Without Special Health Care Needs
Authors: Lichstein Jesse C. , Ghandour Reem M. , Mann Marie Y.
Published: November 2018

OBJECTIVES:

The medical home is central to providing quality health care for children. Access to the medical home has historically been tracked by using the National Survey of Children With Special Health Care Needs and the National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH). Between 2012 and 2015, the NSCH was redesigned, combining the 2 surveys into a single, annual assessment. In this study, we provide the latest estimates of medical home access among children in the United States.

METHODS:

We used data from the 2016 NSCH (N = 50 212). Medical home access was defined as a composite measure composed of 5 subcomponents (usual source of care, personal doctor or nurse, referral access, receipt of care coordination, and receipt of family-centered care) for 50 177 US children aged 0 to 17 years. We conducted bivariate analyses and logistic regression to examine the sociodemographic and health characteristics associated with reported attainment of the medical home composite measure and each subcomponent. Analyses were survey weighted.

RESULTS:

In 2016, 43.2% of children with special health care needs (CSHCN) and 50.0% of non-CSHCN were reported to have access to a medical home. Attainment of the medical home composite measure varied significantly by sociodemographic characteristics among both CSHCN and non-CSHCN, as did attainment rates for each of the 5 subcomponents. The medical complexity of CSHCN was also associated with attainment rates of all outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS:

The medical home incorporates elements of care considered necessary for providing comprehensive, quality care. Our results indicate that there is still room to improve access to the medical home among all children.

Model Predictive Control of Stochastic Linear Systems with Probability Constraints
Authors: Caruntu Constantin F. , Velandia-Cardenas Cristian C. , Liu Xinghua , Vargas Alessandro
Published: November 2018

This paper presents a strategy for computing model predictive control of linear Gaussian noise systems with probability constraints. As usual, constraints are taken on the system state and control input. The novelty relies on setting bounds on the underlying cumulative probability distribution, and showing that the model predictive control can be computed in an efficient manner through these novel bounds— an application confirms this assertion. Indeed real-time experiments were carried out to control a direct current (DC) motor. The corresponding data show the effectiveness and usefulness of the approach.

Published: November 2018

In this research 7 parametric classes of normalization functions depending on 1 or 2 parameters proposed for MCDM problem solution. Monte Carlo experiments carried out to perform comparative statistical analysis and find optimal parameter values for the case of Gaussian distribution of decision making matrix elements. Optimal parameter values were ascertained for each normalization method. Normalization formulas were compared with each other in the sense of their efficiency. Logarithmic and Max normalization formulas demonstrated highest values of the best alternative identification. The proposed methodology of determining optimal parameter values of normalization formulas could be applied by approximation of real data with appropriate probability distributions.

Results: The instances presented themselves as a democratic possibility of sharing the power of representatives of the university (field of theory) and service (field of practice), consonant with the Paideia Support. However, it is necessary for the people involved to appropriate strategies that encourage the reorientation of teaching and to qualify listening in the collective space. Final Considerations: Training reorientation processes co-management, fostering the dialogue between teaching and service, ramp up praxis in health management and enable changes in training and health care.

Higher education has been linked to upward mobility in recent decades. Higher education has particularly served as a road to upward mobility for disadvantaged racial and gender groups. While United States colleges and universities strive to make their institutions, programs, and departments more diverse, students who are racial minorities still experience racism and those who are women still experience sexism. Colleges and universities are often considered bastions of progressive liberalism that will challenge racism and sexism; however, the seeds of American racism and sexism that were planted at the country's inception and that were sustained by the blatant subjugation of people of color and women continue to generate race and sex based oppression within present-day American society and within America's academic institutions. Therefore, residual racism and sexism are important to explore, since their presence in educational institutions serves to reify racial and gender based boundaries in achievement and well-being.

To this end, research has inadequately determined the prevalence of overt and covert oppression within academic institutions. Using a sample of college students at a predominately white institution in a Midwestern college town and a diverse institution in a large urban area I will: 1) examine the prevalence of covert and overt racist and sexist experiences among college students and develop models of their occurrence by gender and race; 2) test double jeopardy and multiple jeopardy theory by finding out if women of color experience more racism and sexism than other groups; 3) examine the prevalence of racist, post- racist, sexist and post-sexist beliefs among college students and develop models of their origins by race and gender, 4) examine how environmental context impacts student's experiences and beliefs by comparing college students at a predominately white institution and at a diverse institution; and 5) conduct a path analysis in order to test the causal relationships between demographic factors (race, gender and institution type), experiences (racist and sexist victimization) and attitudes/outlook (racist, post-racist, sexist, post-sexist, campus climate and stress).
Computational Steps for Analyzing Deep Single Molecule Sequencing Reads of Simple Sequence Repeats - Control SSRs v1
Authors: P Harhay Gregory
Published: November 2018

Simple sequence repeats (SSR) are segments of genome sequence made up of multiple copies of a short sequence (from one to several nucleotides), repeated in series. SSRs are present in prokaryotes(Moxon 2006)and eukaryotes(Toth 2000) however, their biological roles are not fully understood. In some bacterial genomes, SSR length variation has been shown to affect phenotype(van der Woude 2004). SSR length variation occurs through slip-stranded mispairing (SSM) of DNA at a rate of up to a million-fold greater than the average bacterial mutation rate and is therefore termed hypermutable(Moxon 2006). This mode of mutation has been observed in both gram-positive(Danne 2014)and gram-negative bacteria(Inzana 2013)and shown to affect host adaptation, virulence, and pathogenicity. Here we use single-molecule real-time sequencing and a dedicated data processing pipeline to demonstrate that a laboratory culture ofHistophilussomni, prepared from a single, presumably clonal colony, consists of a population ofdistinctsequence phase and read length variant profiles at individual SSR loci. To discriminate between sequencing artifact and biological signal, we employed chemically synthesized control duplexes that we sequenced to create a dataset to tune our computational approach to account for artifacts.Using these control duplexes, we observed low levels of SSM for thePacBio polymerase used in SMRT sequencing.To the best of our knowledge, we present the first protocol for the observation of SSR length variabilityat the single DNA molecule level that accounts for sequencer SSM artifact. Our results demonstrate a method to detect and quantify SSR length heterogeneity in a mixed population of DNA molecules and show that specific SSR regions inHistophilus somniare not static structures well-represented by a single consensus sequence, but rather dynamic structures with length variation differences in multiples of complete repeat unit with characteristic SSM profiles and sequence phase. Immediate applications of this method include direct monitoring of SSR-mediated phase variable gene switching and the development of genome assemblies and annotation that more accurately reflect the sequence diversity of extant genomes. This method may be more broadly applied to study the potentially species-specific interactions of DNA and RNA polymerases and regulatory biomolecules on the one hand, with variations in SSR repeat unit sequence, repeat unit sequence phase, repeat unit length, and hypermutable total length on the other. In this protocol we validate the computaitonal approaches presented here by sequenciing chemically synthesized oligos and annealed to a form duplexes. These oligos are slightly shorter version of the AAGC SSR found in CP018802.1.

Buğday Kepeği Kullanılarak Crystal Violet (CV) Boyar Maddesinin Giderimi: Kinetik Çalışmalar
Authors: ERTUGAY Neşe
Published: November 2018

Boyar maddelerin yaygın
kullanımından kaynaklanan boyalı atık suların arıtılması önemli bir çevre
sorunudur. Bu nedenle boyar madde içeren tekstil endüstrisi atık sularından
renk giderim prosesleri ekolojik açıdan önem kazanmaktadır. Günümüzde büyük
hacimli atık sulardaki boyar maddelerin etkili ve ekonomik bir şekilde
giderilebilmesi için alternatif yöntemlere gereksinim vardır. Bu çalışmada
tekstil atık sularında yaygın olarak bulunan Crystal Violet (CV)’in buğday
kepeği üzerine adsorpsiyonu incelenmiştir. Kepeğin CV boyar maddesinin
adsorpsiyonu üzerinde etkilerini belirlemek için; farklı başlangıç boya
konsantrasyonları, pH değerleri, adsorbent konsantrasyonları ile sıcaklık
parametreleri denenmiş ve optimum koşullar sağlanmıştır. En yüksek giderimin
doğal pH (6.24)’da olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Adsorbent miktarı belli bir değere
kadar arttıkça boyar madde giderimi de artmıştır. Ayrıca, adsorpsiyonun 120.
dakikada dengeye geldiği ve boyar madde konsantrasyonu arttıkça giderim
veriminin düştüğü görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte, sıcaklığın 25°C’den 45°C’ye
arttırılması boyar madde giderimini artırmıştır. Bunun yanında deneysel
verilerin Langmuir ve Freundlich izotermler ile yalancı birinci ve ikinci
derece kinetik modellere uygunluğu araştırılmıştır. Bu modellere ait
parametreler ile adsorpsiyon prosesine ait termodinamik parametreler
hesaplanmıştır. Karakterizasyon çalışmaları kapsamında buğday kepeği için
adsorpsiyon öncesi ve sonrası Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) ve Scanning
Electron Microscopy (SEM) analizi yapılarak biyosorpsiyon mekanizmasındaki
fonksiyonel gruplar incelenmiş ve biyosorpsiyon sonrası oluşan yapısal
değişikliklerin varlığı görülmüştür.
A spherically topological analysis of stationary black holes
Authors: Puzantian Benjamin
Published: November 2018

A black hole with zero angular momentum is said to be stationary and under certain conditions such a black hole can represented as a sphere. This review examines Hawking’s topology theorem, the Schwarzschild metric, novel solutions to Einstein’s equations, resonances of hyperbolic orbits around the event horizon for spherical, stationary black holes, and analyzes their importance. It is suggested, that in the spherical stationary black hole case, the Fourier analysis can be used to find the resonances due to Geometric scattering of hyperbolic orbits and thus the outgoing energy fields from the event horizon can be found more precisely; allowing for the adequate signal processing analysis to be found for such a field.
Reducing volatile organic compound emissions with a biofilter inoculated with synthetically engineered Escherichia coli

Published: November 2018

Various byproducts of fracking, such as methane gas, benzene, and other Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), have become a target for studies on health and environmental damage. These compounds are released during natural gas and petroleum extraction, and from the toxic residual water created from the fracking process. Although the long-term effects of some of these chemicals have yet to be determined, the elevated levels present in neighboring communities have been shown to cause an increase in the prevalence of acute respiratory, neurological, and reproductive diseases. In order to reduce the levels of these harmful airborne pollutants, we propose the creation of a biofilter inoculated with genetically engineered bacteria designed to metabolize VOCs and convert them into safer end products.

Authors: Yadav Akhilesh Kumar , Dwivedi Sankalp , Ranjan Rahul , Yadav Naveen
Published: November 2018

Background: The objective of the study was to devise a handmade endoloop knotting technique without the use of knot pusher thereby reducing the overall cost of laparoscopic appendectomy.Methods: This prospective study was conducted in MMIMSR Ambala from September 2016 to August 2018. All operations were performed by the same surgical team. Mesoappendix was coagulated with bipolar cautery and cut with scissors. Two handmade Meltzer loops were placed on base of appendix and tightened using conventional graspers.Results: Around 50 patients were included in the study. The time spent for preparing and tying one loop was approximately 20-25 seconds. None of the patients had leakage from the appendicular stump. Only one polyglactin suture was used to make three loops. Knot pusher was not used in any of the patients.Conclusions: Handmade endoloop used in this prospective study for securing appendicular stump using conventional laparoscopic graspers was found to be equally safe and can be easily mastered by any laparoscopic surgeon, which will reduce his dependency upon preformed endoloops making the procedure cost effective.

Speaking become one of the important skills among other skills such as listening, reading and writing. However, some students felt not confident to deliver words or sentences in English. The purpose of this study was to find teachers’ strategies to improve students’ self confidence in speaking at SMK 1 and SMK 2 in Tamiang Layang. This study used qualitative study with two instruments which are interview and observation. The participants were four teachers from two different schools which are SMK 1 and SMK 2. Based on the finding, there was found four strategies that the four teachers used in speaking class activity. Those strategies are role-play, small group discussion, storytelling, and songs. These strategies were very helpful to encourage students’ self confidence in speaking, because each strategy giving a chance for students to pratice speaking. Besides that, the advantages that students got from those, help students increase their vocabulary and pronunciation, build an interaction between passive and active students, and make the class more fun and not boring.Keywords: Speaking, self-confidence, teachers’ strategies.
