Published: July 2016

The aim of the present study is to examine the antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory activities of the ethanolic leaf extract of Melia azedarach. It was tested in vitro for its antibacterial and antifungal activities against E. coli (ATCC 8739), Enterococcus faecalis (Ec P07) and Bacillus subtilis (Bs) bacteria as well as against pathogenic fungi (Alternaria alternate, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum sp. melonis, F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, F. sambucinum and Botrytis cinerea) with different techniques similtaneously with anti-inflammatory activity with carageaneen method. All tested concentrations of M. azedarach extract showed significant antibacterial and antifungal activities with low IC50 compared to ethanol 95% and a high anti-inflammatory activity compared with indomethacin as drug. Our investigation pointed that M. azedarach could be considered as a good medicinal agent.

Ontario’s Experience of Wind Energy Development as Seen through the Lens of Human Health and Environmental Justice
Authors: Songsore Emmanuel , Buzzelli Michael
Published: July 2016

The province of Ontario has shown great commitment towards the development of renewable energy and, specifically, wind power. Fuelled by the Green Energy Act (GEA) of 2009, the Province has emerged as Canada’s leader in wind energy development (WED). Nonetheless, Ontario’s WED trajectory is characterized by social conflicts, particularly around environmental health. Utilizing the Social Amplification of Risk Framework, this paper presents an eight-year longitudinal media content analysis conducted to understand the role Ontario’s media may be playing in both reflecting and shaping public perceptions of wind turbine health risks. We find that before and after the GEA, instances of health risk amplification were far greater than attenuations in both quantity and quality. Discourses that amplified turbine health risks often simultaneously highlighted injustices in the WED process, especially after the GEA. Based on these findings, we suggest that Ontario’s media may be amplifying perceptions of wind turbine health risks within the public domain. We conclude with policy recommendations around public engagement for more just WED.
A PDMS-Based Microfluidic Hanging Drop Chip for Embryoid Body Formation
Authors: Wu Huei-Wen , Hsiao Yi-Hsing , Chen Chih-Chen , Yet Shaw-Fang , Hsu Chia-Hsien
Published: July 2016

The conventional hanging drop technique is the most widely used method for embryoid body (EB) formation. However, this method is labor intensive and limited by the difficulty in exchanging the medium. Here, we report a microfluidic chip-based approach for high-throughput formation of EBs. The device consists of microfluidic channels with 6 × 12 opening wells in PDMS supported by a glass substrate. The PDMS channels were fabricated by replicating polydimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) from SU-8 mold. The droplet formation in the chip was tested with different hydrostatic pressures to obtain optimal operation pressures for the wells with 1000 μm diameter openings. The droplets formed at the opening wells were used to culture mouse embryonic stem cells which could subsequently developed into EBs in the hanging droplets. This device also allows for medium exchange of the hanging droplets making it possible to perform immunochemistry staining and characterize EBs on chip.
Flexible Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting from Mouse Click Motions
Authors: Cha Youngsu , Hong Jin , Lee Jaemin , Park Jung-Min , Kim Keehoon
Published: July 2016

In this paper, we study energy harvesting from the mouse click motions of a robot ﬁnger and a human index ﬁnger using a piezoelectric material. The feasibility of energy harvesting from mouse click motions is experimentally and theoretically assessed. The ﬁngers wear a glove with a pocket for including the piezoelectric material. We model the energy harvesting system through the inverse kinematic framework of parallel joints in a ﬁnger and the electromechanical coupling equations of the piezoelectric material. The model is validated through energy harvesting experiments in the robot and human ﬁngers with the systematically varying load resistance. We ﬁnd that energy harvesting is maximized at the matched load resistance to the impedance of the piezoelectric material, and the harvested energy level is tens of nJ.
Recombinant Ranaviruses for Studying Evolution of Host–Pathogen Interactions in Ectothermic Vertebrates
Authors: Robert Jacques , Jancovich James
Published: July 2016

Ranaviruses (Iridoviridae) are large DNA viruses that are causing emerging infectious diseases at an alarming rate in both wild and captive cold blood vertebrate species all over the world. Although the general biology of these viruses that presents some similarities with poxvirus is characterized, many aspects of their replication cycles, host cell interactions and evolution still remain largely unclear, especially in vivo. Over several years, strategies to generate site-specific ranavirus recombinant, either expressing fluorescent reporter genes or deficient for particular viral genes, have been developed. We review here these strategies, the main ranavirus recombinants characterized and their usefulness for in vitro and in vivo studies.
Acupuncture at SP6 Point in Lower Extremities Improved Patients' Insomnia, Which Was Also Shown Through Ryodoraku Electrical Measurements
Authors: Chang Jui-Shu , Lin Wei-Yong , Liu Hsin-Ping
Published: July 2016

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) applies acupuncture to treat insomnia and the SP6 is known to be beneficial for sleep. This study aimed to investigate the effects of acupuncture at SP6 on resting electroencephalogram (EEG), meridian electrical activity (Ryodoraku), and stress in
patients with confirmed insomnia. In this single-blind, randomized clinical trial subjects (N=70) from TCM treated outpatients were randomized to receive TCM based acupuncture with manual stimulation (experimental) or sham stimulation (control) treatment. Acupuncture was applied to SP6 for
20 minutes on the spleen meridian of the foot in experimental subjects and controls received sham intervention. Significant changes between pre- and post-intervention were found in all electrical conductance values for the 12 meridians (Ryodoraku scores) in either control or experimental groups
(fold change from 1.15 to 2.03) (P values <0.001). Eight meridians showed significantly different changes in Ryodoraku scores between pre- and post-intervention in the experimental group compared to the control group (fold change from 1.16 to 1.36) (P<0.05). EEG wave signals did not
change with intervention in either group (P values ≥0.209). In summary, acupuncture at the SP6 acupoint altered meridian electrical activity of the lung, pericardium, heart, small intestine, sanjiao, spleen, bladder, and stomach meridians (P values <0.05) in patients with insomnia. Further
studies are necessary to evaluate how changes in these meridians may affect insomnia.
17 Cases of Acupuncture Related Pneumothorax and Factors Influencing Pneumothorax
Authors: Kim Jin Soo , Kim Ki Hoon , Kim Woon-Won
Published: July 2016

Objectives: Acupuncture is increasing in popularity as a complementary and alternative medicine. Pneumothorax is the most common and potentially serious adverse effect after acupuncture. This complication can cause fatality in the absence of rapid treatment. Here, we analyze the clinical
presentation and discuss prevention of post-acupuncture pneumothorax and an approach to reducing this complication. Methods: Patients presenting with post-acupuncture pneumothorax in our hospital center during 2011-2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Body mass index (BMI), patient's pre-acupuncture
chief complaint and disease, and the characteristics associated with pneumothorax were assessed. The diagnosis of pneumothorax was based on clinical presentation and chest radiography. Conservative treatment or thoracostomy was performed. Results: Seventeen patients (15 women and 2 men) with
a mean age of 42 years (range: 18–73 years) were included; three were underweight (BMI < 18.5kg/m2), 11 patients had a healthy weight (BMI = 18.5–22.95kg/m2), one was overweight (BMI = 23–24.95kg/m2), and two were obese (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). All but one case of bilateral
pneumothorax had unilateral pneumothorax (right side: 6; left side: 10). Chest pain or dyspnea, or both were the initial symptoms in all patients. Twelve patients underwent immediate thoracostomy. The patient with bilateral pneumothorax underwent right-side thoracostomy, and subsequently left-side
thoracostomy, due to progression of the left-side pneumothorax. Five patients were successfully managed conservatively. All patients had an excellent outcome; all were asymptomatic and exhibited a normal chest X-ray at follow-up. Conclusion: Acupuncturists must be aware that delayed diagnosis
and management of pneumothorax are life-threatening, and when symptoms of possible pneumothorax arise, patients should be advised to undergo an appropriate evaluation and intervention, particularly so in those with abnormal BMI.

Published: July 2016

Premise of the study:

Microsatellite markers from Primula sikkimensis (Primulaceae) were developed for testing deep lineage divergence and speciation events.

Methods and Results:

A total of 3112 microsatellites were identified from 61,755 unique reads though 454 pyrosequencing technology. Twenty‐nine microsatellite loci were selected for PCR amplification and polymorphic analyses. Among the 29 tested markers, 17 microsatellite loci were further used for genotyping in three wild P. sikkimensis populations. The number of alleles varied from one to eight, and the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.111 to 1.000. Ten simple sequence repeat loci could be successfully cross‐amplified in two Primula species. The transferability values were 76.5% in P. florindae and 58.8% in P. alpicola, respectively.

Conclusions:

These microsatellite markers will be valuable for testing the hypothesis of lineage divergence, genetic introgression, and cryptic speciation events between P. sikkimensis and its closely related taxa.

Published: July 2016

Intraperitoneal cefepime is used for the treatment of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis caused by gram-negative bacteria. The current study investigated the stability of cefepime in a pH-neutral PD solution. A reconstituted solution of cefepime was injected into a total of 9 PD bags and stored at 4°C, 25°C or 37°C for various time points. Cefepime retained more than 90% of its initial concentration for 168, 96, and 12 hours at 4°C, 25°C and 37°C, respectively. No apparent physical precipitation or pH change was observed during the study. This study provides crucial information to healthcare professionals on the physical and chemical stability of cefepime in the pH-neutral solution to help them in preparing such admixtures in advance where required.
COORDINATED ANALYSIS OF TWO GRAPHITE GRAINS FROM THE CO3.0 LAP 031117 METEORITE: FIRST IDENTIFICATION OF A CO NOVA GRAPHITE AND A PRESOLAR IRON SULFIDE SUBGRAIN
Authors: Haenecour Pierre , Floss Christine , José Jordi , Amari Sachiko , Lodders Katharina , Jadhav Manavi , Wang Alian , Gyngard Frank
Published: July 2016

Presolar grains constitute the remnants of stars that existed before the formation of the solar system. In addition to providing direct information on the materials from which the solar system formed, these grains provide ground-truth information for models of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis. Here we report the in situ identification of two unique presolar graphite grains from the primitive meteorite LaPaz Icefield 031117. Based on these two graphite grains, we estimate a bulk presolar graphite abundance of

ppm in this meteorite. One of the grains (LAP-141) is characterized by an enrichment in 12C and depletions in 33,34S, and contains a small iron sulfide subgrain, representing the first unambiguous identification of presolar iron sulfide. The other grain (LAP-149) is extremely 13C-rich and 15N-poor, with one of the lowest 12C/13C ratios observed among presolar grains. Comparison of its isotopic compositions with new stellar nucleosynthesis and dust condensation models indicates an origin in the ejecta of a low-mass CO nova. Grain LAP-149 is the first putative nova grain that quantitatively best matches nova model predictions, providing the first strong evidence for graphite condensation in nova ejecta. Our discovery confirms that CO nova graphite and presolar iron sulfide contributed to the original building blocks of the solar system.
BINDING ENERGY OF MOLECULES ON WATER ICE: LABORATORY MEASUREMENTS AND MODELING
Authors: He Jiao , Acharyya Kinsuk , Vidali Gianfranco
Published: July 2016

We measured the binding energy of N2, CO, O2, CH4, and CO2 on non-porous (compact) amorphous solid water (np-ASW), of N2 and CO on porous ASW, and of NH3 on crystalline water ice. We were able to measure binding energies down to a fraction of 1% of a layer, thus making these measurements more appropriate for astrochemistry than the existing values. We found that CO2 forms clusters on the np-ASW surface even at very low coverages. The binding energies of N2, CO, O2, and CH4 decrease with coverage in the submonolayer regime. Their values at the low coverage limit are much higher than what is commonly used in gas-grain models. An empirical formula was used to describe the coverage dependence of the binding energies. We used the newly determined binding energy distributions in a simulation of gas-grain chemistry for cold cloud and hot-core models. We found that owing to the higher value of binding energy in the submonolayer regime, a fraction of all these ices remains for much longer and up to higher temperatures on the grain surface compared to the single value energies currently used in the astrochemical models.
MAPS OF EVOLVING CLOUD STRUCTURES IN LUHMAN 16AB FROM HST TIME-RESOLVED SPECTROSCOPY
Authors: Karalidi Theodora , Apai Dániel , Marley Mark S. , Buenzli Esther
Published: July 2016

WISE J104915.57-531906.1 is the nearest brown dwarf binary to our solar system, consisting of two brown dwarfs in the L/T transition: Luhman 16A and B. In this paper, we present the first map of Luhman 16A, and maps of Luhman 16B for two epochs. Our maps were created by applying Aeolus, a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo code that maps the top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) structure of brown dwarf and other ultracool atmospheres, to light curves of Luhman 16A and B using the Hubble Space Telescope’s G141 and G102 grisms. Aeolus retrieved three or four spots in the TOA of Luhman 16A and B, with a surface coverage of 19%–32% (depending on an assumed rotational period of 5 hr or 8 hr) or 21%–38.5% (depending on the observational epoch), respectively. The brightness temperature of the spots of the best-fit models was ∼200 K hotter than the background TOA. We compared our Luhman 16B map with the only previously published map. Interestingly, our map contained a large TOA spot that was cooler (ΔT ∼ 51 K) than the background, which lay at low latitudes, in agreement with the previous Luhman 16B map. Finally, we report the detection of a feature reappearing in Luhman 16B light curves that are separated by tens of hundreds of rotations from each other. We speculate that this feature is related to TOA structures of Luhman 16B.
PROTOSTARS AT LOW EXTINCTION IN ORION A
Authors: Lewis John Arban , Lada Charles J.
Published: July 2016

In the list of young stellar objects (YSOs) compiled by Megeath et al. for the Orion A molecular cloud, only 44 out of 1208 sources found projected onto low extinction (

mag) gas are identified as protostars. These objects are puzzling because protostars are not typically expected to be associated with extended low extinction material. Here, we use high resolution extinction maps generated from Herschel data, optical/infrared and Spitzer Space Telescope photometry and spectroscopy of the low extinction protostellar candidate sources to determine if they are likely true protostellar sources or contaminants. Out of 44 candidate objects, we determine that 10 sources are likely protostars, with the rest being more evolved YSOs (18), galaxies (4), false detections of nebulosity and cloud edges (9), or real sources for which more data are required to ascertain their nature (3). We find none of the confirmed protostars to be associated with recognizable dense cores and we briefly discuss possible origins for these orphaned objects.
Mujeres de ciencia: el caso del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas
Authors: Caballero Wangüemert María
Published: July 2016

La relación de la mujer con la ciencia no ha sido tarea fácil, aunque muchos de los obstáculos encontrados por las pioneras están hoy superados. La incorporación femenina en licenciaturas y doctorados no es proporcional a su presencia en los cargos de responsabilidad. El trabajo se centra en el CSIC, evaluando la presencia femenina desde los noventa hasta hoy: una realidad pujante, como queda de manifiesto en las distintas áreas o en publicaciones acerca del tema (monográfico de la revista Arbor). Pero las mujeres siguen elevando sus quejas y sintiéndose discriminadas, impulsando organismos y asociaciones para protegerse, por ejemplo, la Comisión de Mujeres y Ciencia (CMYC) dentro del Consejo. Teniendo en cuenta la legislación vigente y la realidad de muchas de las investigadoras, este trabajo pretende evaluar hasta qué punto puede hablarse hoy de techos de cristal y discriminación en este organismo; así como las posibles causas que impulsan a la mujer a decisiones que, a veces, no priorizan el trabajo científico fuera del hogar.
Modernidad y cambio social: una perspectiva integradora, o el más acá de los estudios de género
Authors: Flamarique Lourdes
Published: July 2016

En este artículo se abordan algunos cambios en los modos de vida de las mujeres, con la pretensión de que su carácter “moderno” los inscribe en el ámbito de la cultura objetiva, esto es, alcanzan a toda la condición humana y permiten interpretar y comprender mejor las transformaciones sufridas por todos los seres humanos. Tras una primera parte en la que se considera la co-relación de modernidad y cambio socio-cultural, la exposición fija su atención en algunos de los ejes temático-conceptuales que caracterizan el actual estilo de vida de las mujeres (trabajo, familia y amor romántico) y, consecuentemente, de toda la sociedad.
Discursos de género: el modelo de la igualdad en la diferencia
Authors: Aparisi Miralles Ángela
Published: July 2016

A partir de los principales modelos de relación entre sexo y género, el objetivo de este artículo es plantear la alternativa del modelo de la igualdad en la diferencia, también denominado de la reciprocidad, complementariedad o corresponsabilidad. El punto de partida es que, aunque los diferentes discursos de género que se han ido sucediendo han llevado a cabo contribuciones significativas en el ámbito de la igualdad, sin embargo, en ocasiones, han arrastrado consigo algunas deficiencias y reduccionismos de los que no han conseguido desprenderse. En concreto, en muchas ocasiones se ha desequilibrado la balanza, bien en favor de la diferencia o de la igualdad varón-mujer. Se plantea que el modelo de la igualdad en la diferencia, por el contrario, cuando es bien entendido, permite una armónica combinación entre dichos principios, lo cual lo sitúa en un mejor punto de partida para el debate en el ámbito de los derechos humanos.
¿Divinas? Moda y blogs de maquillaje: modelos femeninos
Authors: Arana Caballero Rocío
Published: July 2016

Este trabajo pretende por una parte analizar cualitativamente dos libros recientes sobre moda, en una lectura paralela que compare modelos femeninos sacando conclusiones sobre ellos, y en segundo término realizar una breve panorámica de blogs de belleza. En la primera parte del trabajo, el análisis del reciente premio de ensayo Anagrama, ¡Divinas! Modelos, poder y mentiras (Soley-Beltran, 2015), que considera la identidad femenina como un travesti, una percha de usar y cambiar según intereses y situaciones, culmina en varios interrogantes: ¿es este el modelo de mujer actual? ¿Existe una esencia femenina?.
Tras ello y como complemento, se desarrolla una breve panorámica de blogs de maquillaje, con cuatro calas en este universo, para intentar responder a una pregunta: ¿existe realmente una inquietud ética y estética detrás de estos espacios?.
Mujeres de cine: del glamour de Hollywood a los modelos alternativos
Authors: Caballero Wangüemert María
Published: July 2016

Es un hecho que el cine ha reflejado la revolución de mujer, familia y sociedad en el siglo XX. El cine nace en masculino: es el hombre quien desempeña las funciones públicas mientras la mujer reina en el ámbito privado, educando desde el hogar a los futuros ciudadanos. ¿Es suficiente ese papel para la mujer actual? Desde luego que no y de ahí su Aasalto al poder: en el caso del cine, la mujer ha pasado de ser objeto de deseo, la protagonista de la historia amorosa en las comedias de Hollywood, a comandar la aventura del séptimo arte como guionista (E. Thompson, R. P. Jhavbala, Diablo Cody), productora (B. Streisand, I. Bollaín) y, sobre todo, directora: la propia Streisand, M. von Trotta, S. Coppola, A. Huston... pero también M. Nair, D. Metha, I. Bollaín, I. Coixet, G. Querejeta, K. Bigelow, L. Schefig, S. Bier, N. Labaki, M. Ruíz de Austri... Mi trabajo da por supuesta esa diacronía, para plantearse una pregunta: ¿qué tipos de familia y qué problemáticas femeninas nos acerca últimamente la gran pantalla?
Disidentes y visionarias de los nuevos feminismos
Authors: Abad Cadenas Cristina
Published: July 2016

Desde el siglo XIX hasta hoy son innegables los cambios generados por el feminismo de la primera, segunda y tercera ola. Aficionados a conceptualizar y etiquetar, actualmente enfilamos la entrada a la cuarta ola, una ideología menos monolítica, más fragmentaria y plural que, según Elena Gascón-Vera, profesora en Wellesley College, combina feminismo, lucha por los derechos queer y otros movimientos pro-sex. Un movimiento, según la periodista británica Kira Cochrane, centrado en las pequeñas causas concretas que basa sus reivindicaciones en las herramientas digitales. Merece la pena valorar si se trata de un avance o un desarrollo de la indeterminación postmoderna apoyada por la tecnología 3.0. En todo caso, la Utopía Feminista ha dejado también cadáveres en el camino que no siempre asumimos y reconocemos o si lo hacemos es como precio a pagar. Muchas veces las víctimas son las propias mujeres. La política y escritora italiana Eugenia Roccella considera que las utopías se han desplazado de lo social a la biología y dejan a la mujer ante la encrucijada de deconstruir lo materno y la diferencia sexual o defender a ultranza esa diferencia. Eveyne Sullerot, socióloga feminista francesa, lamenta la fragilidad dramática que se ha instalado en la sociedad, por la frecuencia de las separaciones y la deriva del aborto que al grito de “mi vientre es mío” vacían de sentido la paternidad. El feminismo tal y como se concibe no es la puerta del paraíso. Todavía queda mucho camino que recorrer. Se atisba una necesidad de desarrollar la vertiente ecológica. La crisis y las dificultades familiares de estos primeros años del siglo XXI han supuesto un buen desafío para muchas de las feministas de los años 60 y 70. Algunas, como las citadas o las estadounidenses Christina Hoff Somersson, Eugenia Roccella, Karen DeCrow o Camille Paglia, han revisado sus mensajes. En este artículo comentaremos las aportaciones de estas disidentes o visionarias.

La secondarité de la traduction par rapport à l’ œuvre que l’on dit « originale » est une donnée essentielle de la configuration qui se présente au généticien.

À partir de quels documents et selon quelles procédures peut-on envisager une approche génétique des traductions, telle est la question à laquelle l’article s’efforce de répondre en illustrant sa visée théorique d’exemples concrets.
Écrire et décrire la genèse de la traduction
Authors: Montini Chiara
Published: July 2016

Le propos de cet article est d’interroger la genèse des traductions en prêtant une attention toute particuli.re à la dynamique qui s’instaure entre les textes et leurs traductions. Cette dynamique, nous l’entendons au sens que lui donnait Antoine Berman, comme ce qui met en jeu la relation entre le même et l’autre, entre l’écriture (comme traduction), le sujet, et bien sûr les langues. Deux textes servent ici de point d’appui à l’analyse – Le Désert mauve de Nicole Brossard et Mercier et/and Camier de Samuel Beckett – pour montrer que genèse et traduction représentent les multiples facettes, les multiples origines de l’écriture à travers ses métamorphoses et ses possibilités. Comment le traducteur représentera-t-il l’ambiguïté du texte qui s’inscrit dans sa genèse et dans sa traduction au point de constituer un tout unique ? L’article s’efforce de répondre à cette question à partir de la genèse de deux traductions, Il deserto malva, de Elena Basile et Mercier e Camier de Chiara Montini.
L’expérience de la Fabrique des Traducteurs :les brouillons de traduction comme espace de confrontation et de réappropriation
Authors: Sinichkina Daria
Published: July 2016

Le dossier génétique étudié dans cet article a été constitué dans un contexte original et polyphonique, celui des ateliers de la Fabrique des Traducteurs (CITL, Arles, avril-juin 2012). Les brouillons de traduction soumis à l’analyse, ceux du premier chapitre du roman de l’écrivain russe Boris Zaïtsev, L’Arabesque d’or (1925), mettent en lumière la confrontation, lors des étapes de travail successives, du traducteur à l’altérité, mettant ainsi en péril son statut a priori précaire. Par un examen de la façon dont les brouillons de traduction parviennent à intégrer les diverses corrections, l’article montre comment lesdits brouillons, après avoir été soumis à un éclatement souvent violent, peuvent finalement donner lieu à un texte cohérent. En effet, la (re)lecture est l’étape à laquelle le traducteur dépasse la dichotomie entre traduction et commentaire, et finit par trouver le « ton juste », celui par lequel il appose « sa » marque sur le texte produit.
Marquer un temps, avant d’aboutir : les manuscrits de Wang Wen-hsing
Authors: Yi Peng
Published: July 2016

Cet article étudie les manuscrits du romancier contemporain taïwanais Wang Wen-hsing. À partir de deux romans publiés, dans lesquels la ponctuation et les espaces vides sont l’objet d’un travail continu, qui se poursuit tout au long des étapes de la rédaction, j’étudie dans cette perspective la transition d’un brouillon à l’autre et de l’esquisse à la mise au net. De l’un à l’autre, il n’y a pratiquement pas de différences à part la ponctuation, mais c’est là que se situe le véritable travail d’écriture. Le fait que le travail principal porte sur les suprasegmentaux nous renvoie aux premiers stades de l’écriture, mais aussi à deux manuscrits tardifs qui sont pratiquement identiques. Ils appartiennent à la phase la plus longue de la genèse qui précède immédiatement l’achèvement de la rédaction (le temps marqué avant l’aboutissement). En tenant compte de l’ensemble, j’espère saisir une évolution et montrer qu’elle aboutit à une esquisse et à une mise au net qui coïncident pratiquement dans le temps et par le contenu, mais dont la nature est tout à fait distincte. C’est la mise au net, ou le processus de copie d’un état à l’autre, qui constitue le coeur de l’écriture définissant les romans de Wang. La copie relance tardivement l’écriture, à la fin du processus de genèse.
Contact Laser-Ultrasonic Evaluation of Residual Stress
Authors: Cherepetskaya Elena B. , Karabutov Alexander A. , Mironova Elena A. , Podymova Natalia B. , Zharinov Alexey N.
Published: July 2016

Investigation of residual stresses in an infrastructure is important due to the reason of safety. One of the most important problems is non-destructive testing of residual stresses particularly in welded constructions. A quite lot of technologies are used to solve this problem. Ultrasonic testing is based on the dependence of the velocity of ultrasonic waves on the stress value within a material under study. This technology is robust, operative and can be used in field conditions. The main problem is to measure the velocity of ultrasonic waves with high precision at a short trace. The proposed technique of the Contact Laser-Ultrasonic Evaluation (CLUE) is used in our work to overcome this difficulty. The variation of the results of the measurement of the ultrasonic wave velocity using CLUE does not exceed 0.05% and provides the threshold of the detection of the residual stress in steel at the level of 2-3 MPa. Basics of CLUE and some experimental cases of the study of the uniaxial stress in compressed and tensioned rail steel specimens are described. The advantages and disadvantages of CLUE for the stress measurement are discussed.
Study of Effects of Weathering Factors on Internal Structure of Rocks by Laser Ultrasonic Spectroscopy
Authors: Karabutov Alexander A. , Cherepetskaya Elena B. , Sokolovskaya Yulia G. , Morozov Dmitry V. , Vinnikov Vladimir A.
Published: July 2016

The paper addresses the use of laser ultrasonic structuroscopy to study how weathering affects the internal structure of rocks used for facing buildings. For 1,250 hours rock samples were subjected to 150 cycles of freezing (at-20°C) and thawing in water (at +20°C) to determine their frost resistance. Also, moistened every 30 minutes, rock samples were exposed to thermal and ultraviolet radiation for 480 hours to determine their weather resistance. The frequency-dependent phase velocity and attenuation coefficient of longitudinal ultrasonic pulses in the samples were measured. It is found that the rock samples are most seriously damaged when exposed to sharp changes in temperature. As a result of freeze-thaw processes, the velocity of elastic waves decreases by 10% on average, and the attenuation coefficient increases by a factor of 1.5 in the range of 300kHz-500kHz and more than 3 times in the range of 1.0MHz-1.5MHz. The coefficient of the relative power of “structural” noise (K parameter) is introduced to characterize the degree of degradation of rock samples. The parameter K is defined as the ratio of the power of noise component in the spectrum of scattered waves to the power of reference signal. It is shown that the parameter K increases almost by a factor of 10 as a result of various weathering processes.

Nowadays, large-span underground structures can only be built at shallow depths or in hard rock since their structural strength is not great enough to bear the overburden pressure of thick overlying soil material. To build large-span structures at greater depths or in a wider range of geotechnical conditions, new technical and technological solutions must be developed. The paper discusses the possibility of using stay cable systems to enhance the load-bearing capacity and service performance of large-span underground structures. To assess the applicability of such stay cable systems for large-span underground construction, a numerical model has been developed and validated. The paper presents the results of the modeling of underground structures (20m to 50m wide) under different pressures and examines how the stress-strain behavior of the load-bearing structural elements depends on the span of the structures, the arrangement and height of pylons, and the number and arrangement of stay cables. It is shown that the use of stay cable systems can significantly improve the load-carrying capacity and performance of both individual structural elements of a large-span underground structure and the structure as a whole. The paper also discusses the possibility of using composite materials for the stay cable systems.

Water and construction works are in continuous interaction. With reference to water protection the effect of construction sites must be considered from two viewpoints: protection of water quality and protection of water quantity and availability. On the other hand, water and its qualitative and quantitative parameters determine the technologies and materials used on construction sites, making their use even impossible in extreme cases.

Published: July 2016

According to different experimental data the grain boundary diffusion the triple product (P) can change in opposite directions after alloying. In this paper the analysis of the effect of alloying for different systems is proposed. It was shown that in Al-based system (Cu diffusion in Al, Zn diffusion in Al) the P value increases with alloying while the solidus temperature according to the phase diagram decreases, in other systems no such tendency can be seen. Estimations based on the segregation factor value demonstrate that some structural effect must be proposed in addition to describe the experimental results.

Published: July 2016

This work aims to conduct an experimental study of the drying kinetics of castor bean fruits (Ricinuscommunis L., “BRS Energia” variety). Experiments were conducted using an oven at air temperatures 50 and 70°C and air relative humidity values 16.34 and 6.24%, respectively. The castor bean fruits were considered as a triaxial spheroid. The experimental moisture content data as a function of time were fitted to different lumped models (namely Henderson and Pabis, Page, Midilli and two-term exponential models) available in the literature.The values of the effective moisture diffusivity were obtained from the Fick's diffusion model. Results shows that the two-term drying model could adequately describe the thin layer drying behavior of castor bean fruit, and that the effective moisture diffusivity increases with increasing drying air temperature.

Published: July 2016

In recent decades, global events and extreme changes make sustainable development and renewable energy a frequent subject of discussion in numerous global meetings. To analyze the energy matrix of a region in order to optimize it sustainably, is a way to reduce the impacts of these changes. Currently, the world energy matrix is made up of 81.0 % of non-renewable sources (78.4% oil and oil products, natural gas and coal, and 2.6 % uranium) and 19.0 % from renewable sources, (traditional biomass 9.0 %, bio-heat 2.6 %, 3.8% hydropower and 3.6% others renewable energies such as solar, wind, geothermal, biodiesel, ethanol, ocean power, etc.). In this sense, the aim of this work is to establish a sustainable model of energy planning in a region taking into account local characteristics and the efficiency in the power generation for residential systems. Energy demand data was collected from different Brazilian companies. From the data obtained, it was found that the method/model used is very efficient for the case study related to the energy efficiency of housing systems using renewable energy.

This paper presents the results obtained in the process of drying bananas using solar energy, in order to spread the culture of renewable energy and to promote sustainable development. The use of solar energy is important because of its characteristics of being clean and widely available throughout Brazil, mainly in the Northeastern part of Brazil. Developing equipments using solar energy as an energy source in the Northeastern region of Brazil contributes to promote social-economic growth, thereby reducing social inequalities in the region. Among the various types of fruits produced in Brazil, we chose bananas because of its large domestic production, and its economic and nutrition contribution. Bananas have great postharvest losses, since it is extremely perishable. The study aims to change fresh bananas in dried bananas, which has high added value. The solar drying of banana with the use of indirect radiation dryers turns to be a viable alternative to small, medium and large bananas producers. We present data obtained from experiments on drying bananas through the solar dryer developed in UFCG. The experiments showed statistical significance, and the used empirical model proved to be reliable and representative because of the high values of the correlation coefficients that approached 0.99. In this work, we also present the constructive and operational characteristics of the equipment under development.

Heat pipe is well known device which is used to heat transfer phase-change of working fluid. Pulsating heat pipe (PHP) is special type of heat pipe which heat transfer by pulsating movement of working fluid. Article deals about operating activity and thermal performance measurement of this special heat pipe. Operating activity visualization of PHP was performed with PHP made from glass. The two types of PHPs were made. The first PHP has internal diameter of tube 1 mm, second PHP has internal diameter of tube 1.5 mm and both PHPs have eleven meanders. The working fluids used in PHP were water and Fluorinert FC-72. These fluids were chose for their different thermo-physical properties and the visualization observe formation of liquid and vapour phase working fluid during filling process and working operation.Next, the article describes thermal performance measurement of PHP depending on working fluid amount and heat source temperature. Measurement was performed with PHP made from copper tube with inner diameter 1.5 mm curved to the twenty one meanders and filled with water. The results give us image about formation and distribution of working fluid in pulsating heat pipe and about influence of working fluid amount on the heat transfer ability of pulsating heat pipe.

Published: July 2016

This paper presents the fabrication of a micro-lens array surface with a single-mask process and two etching steps with KOH water solution. Numerical analysis of optics was used to determine the optimal design parameters such as curvature sagitta and radius. The dimension of each lens is 20μm x 20μm. We used anisotropic etching of <100> silicon through a circular and squar mask to produce a pyramidal pit formed by four (111) planes. The oxide mask is stripped and the immersion of the sample in the etchant solution favors the etching of (411) plane transforming the pit into a smooth hemispherical cavity. An intermediate stage exists when a wider 19.470 <411> - face pyramid replaces the initial 54.740 inverted pyramid. The dependence of surface roughness on concentration and temperature of KOH is investigated in the range of 25%-40% and 60°C-80°C, respectively, and compared between them. The surface profiles and roughness was characterized by AFM. The etching depth and radius of micro-lens array was obtained from the SEM images and AFM data. Also, the array of concave depressions was directly used as a mould for replication of KER-2500 transparent polymeric silicon from Shin-Etsu with a refractive index n=1.41. The perfectly matched array of micro-lenses can be detached from substrate and used as a local solar concentrator. Optical properties such as the focal length of the plano-convex micro-lens array, obtained by replication, are measured and analyzed.
