Normalizing Musical Contour Theory
Authors: Schultz Rob
Published: April 2016

The advent of the numerical representation of contour was a watershed in the development of musical contour theory. Both Michael L. Friedmann and Robert D. Morris pioneered the practice by mapping pitches in ascending registral order onto the subset of nonnegative integers from 0 to n − 1, where n equals cardinality. This notation identifies pitches solely by their relative height, thereby eschewing any reference to specific interval size and effectively transforming pitches in pitch space into contour pitches in contour space. The variable end-point mechanism this procedure entails, however, often yields counterintuitive and inconsistent results when comparing contour segments (csegs) of different cardinalities. In some instances, it falsely implies that an expansion or contraction of contour space has transpired. In other cases, it grossly misrepresents the phenomenological disposition of certain members of a given cseg yet remains perfectly true to that of others. This article addresses the analytical pitfalls of the integer-based contour labeling system by instead adopting a normalized scheme that maps pitches onto evenly distributed subsets of the real numbers from 0 to 1 inclusive. This not only systematically eliminates the distortions and inconsistencies that crop up with respect to mixed cardinality csegs but also provides a considerably more nuanced metric for intervallic distances in contour space. Using analytical case studies juxtaposing the two notational systems, this article demonstrates how the normalized representation of contour both enhances and extends the analytical capabilities of musical contour theory by more effectively modeling the transformational implications embedded therein.
Schumann's a-Minor Mood
Authors: Smith Peter H.
Published: April 2016

Schumann's adaptations of eighteenth-century instrumental forms have long been regarded as problematic, as have the works of his late style period of the 1850s. The Cello Concerto op. 129 (composed 1850, published 1854) is a late work based on classical models that has earned a place in the concert repertoire. Still, one searches in vain for analysis of the Concerto that takes advantage of the advances of Schenkerian theory and recent theories of musical form. Such an analysis acquires urgency in light of the renewed interest in Schumann's late style, the relative neglect in analytical circles of Schumann's large-scale instrumental forms, and the tendency for concerto form to attract less interest among theorists compared to other instrumental genres. Historical grounding for the analysis arises from the value Schumann and members of his circle placed on musical close reading, and a heuristic framework of dialectical topics derived from late-style criticism. Comparison with several of Schumann's chamber works in A minor, and with his Piano Concerto, underscores the technical refinements of the Cello Concerto. These comparisons also suggest that Schumann may have composed in something akin to an A-minor mood, similar to Beethoven's C-minor mood, and that he did so across the boundaries of genre and style period that critics have drawn as part of his reception history. Recognizing the continuity is crucial since the inclination to sharply subdivide Schumann's compositional evolution has tended to serve larger critical agendas, namely, advocacy for the piano compositions of the 1830s at the expense of late works like the Cello Concerto.
Functional characterisation of human synaptic genes expressed in theDrosophilabrain

Published: April 2016

Drosophila melanogaster is an established and versatile model organism. Here we describe and make available a collection of transgenic Drosophila strains expressing human synaptic genes. The collection can be used to study and characterise human synaptic genes and their interactions and as controls for mutant studies. It was generated in a way that allows the easy addition of new strains, as well as their combination. In order to highlight the potential value of the collection for the characterisation of human synaptic genes we also use two assays, investigating any gain-of-function motor and/or cognitive phenotypes in the strains in this collection. Using these assays we show that among the strains made there are both types of gain-of-function phenotypes investigated. As an example, we focus on the three strains expressing human tyrosine protein kinase Fyn, the small GTPase Rap1a and human Arc, respectively. Of the three, the first shows a cognitive gain-of-function phenotype while the second a motor gain-of-function phenotype. By contrast, Arc, which has no Drosophila ortholog, shows no gain-of-function phenotype.
Polycomb Ezh2 controls the fate of GABAergic neurons in the embryonic cerebellum
Authors: Feng Xuesong , Juan Aster H. , Wang Hongjun A. , Ko Kyung Dae , Zare Hossein , Sartorelli Vittorio
Published: April 2016

While the genetic interactions between signaling pathways and transcription factors have been largely decoded, much remains to be learned about the epigenetic regulation of cerebellar development. Here, we report that cerebellar deletion of Ezh2, the methyltransferase subunit of the PRC2 complex, results in reduced H3K27me3 and profound transcriptional dysregulation, including that of a set of transcription factors directly involved in cerebellar neuronal cell type specification and differentiation. Such transcriptional changes led to increased GABAergic interneurons and decreased.Purkinje cells. Transcriptional changes also inhibited the proliferation of granule precursor cells derived from the rhombic lip. The loss of both cell types ultimately resulted in cerebellar hypoplasia. These findings indicate Ezh2/PRC2 plays critical roles in regulating neurogenesis from both cerebellar germinal zones.

Measurement of a 5-gene panel in whole blood in kidney transplant recipients with acute rejection and stable controls
Authors: Betts Gareth , Van Der Net Jeroen , Shankar Sushma , Friend Peter , Harden Paul , Wood Kathryn
Published: April 2016

New biomarkers are required to detect acute rejection (AR) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) to avoid invasive kidney biopsies. We assess whether a 5-gene panel (DUSP1; NKTR; PBEF1; MAPK9; and PSEN1) in whole blood samples that has previously been shown to identify AR in a paedriatric KTR population is able to distinguish AR in a UK population of adult Caucasian KTR patients.
Innovations and best practice in undergraduate education

University-based scientists hold the collective responsibility for educating the next generation of citizens, scientists and voters, but the degree to which they are individually trained and rewarded for this pursuit is variable. This F1000Research channel has its origin in a Society for Experimental Biology Conference held in Prague, 2015 and brings together researchers who excel at undergraduate education or the scholarship of teaching and learning to discuss challenges and best practices in contemporary higher science education.
Informed shared decision-making in planning for the end of life
Authors: Price Jane
Published: April 2016

In recent years, a number of shortcomings in the NHS have been identified in end-of-life care delivered in hospital for people with long-term conditions other than terminal cancer. This article gives an overview of the findings of a Dignity in Care travel scholarship, which was undertaken to establish whether an American shared informed decision aid, specifically designed to initiate therapeutic conversations for this patient group, might reasonably be adopted in an NHS setting. One tool specifically for this purpose was in use in the USA at the time, and its efficacy formed part of a broader research study being carried out at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) in New England. Concurrently in the UK, The Health Foundation supported a 3-year study that focused exclusively on the development of a range of ‘option grids’ for clinical interventions and did not include an end-of-life model.
Prevalence and characteristics of lymphoedema at a wound-care clinic
Authors: Wang W. , Keast D.H.
Published: April 2016

Objective:

Lymphoedema is estimated to affect up to 300,000 Canadians but remains underrecognised and undertreated. A retrospective chart review was conducted to determine the clinical characteristics and treatment practices of lymphoedema in a Canadian wound care clinic.

Method:

Data were collected retrospectively from dictated clinic notes of 326 lymphoedema patients at a wound clinic in a regional rehabilitation hospital.

Results:

The mean age (±SD) of diagnosis was 66.8 (±15.5). Patients had 7.3 (±3.3) comorbidities and took 8.4 (±4.6) concomitant medications. The most common comorbidities were venous disease (73%), hypertension (60%), and obesity (46%). Clinic patients were less likely to be women, have arm lymphoedema, or have cancer-related aetiology compared with previous studies, reflecting a two-tiered model of care delivery in the area. Treatments prescribed by the clinic were consistent best practice recommendations for conservative treatment.

Conclusion:

A significant proportion of the wound clinic's patients had lymphoedema. Lack of resources, lack of awareness among primary care providers, and patient adherence are barriers to lymphoedema care.

The aesthetics, creativity and craftsmanship of fourth graders’ compositions
Authors: Downton Michael P.
Published: April 2016

Fourth-grade students (N=36) engaged in a twenty-hour computer-aided composition curriculum using the computer software Impromptu. Analysis of the compositions used Hickey’s general assessment rubric for composition that specifically targets the composition’s creativity, craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal. Compositions were evaluated on a scale of 1–4 (1 meaning ‘Needs Work’ and 4 meaning ‘Terrific!’), and a repeated-measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to measure changes at the beginning, middle and end of the study. Findings indicate that students do not simply tinker with their composition but pay attention to how their song is put together over time, which is a trait seen in professional composers as well. However, this may be a result of the pedagogical approaches used during the curriculum. Limitations and implications are discussed.

Geografía, ordenación del territorio y colonialismo español en Marruecos
Authors: Albet Mas Abel , García Ramón Maria Dolors , Nogué Font Joan , Riudor Gorgas Lluís
Published: April 2016

El inicio de la experiencia colonial española en África del Norte supuso para la geografía la ocasión de hacerse oír por medio de la creación de instituciones y de la realización de trabajos científicos encaminados a dar a conocer la importancia de la presencia en Marruecos a una población traumatizada por la pérdida reciente de lo que quedaba de un imperio colonial antaño extenso. Los avatares de la implantación del Protectorado español retrasaron la implantación de una verdadera política colonizadora, que no fue posible hasta después de la Guerra Civil. El africanismo de los militares, entre ellos el General Franco, explica que durante la década de los 40 surgieran proyectos de ordenación del territorio que tuvieron un carácter pionero en la España de la posguerra, pero que fueron, ante todo, una vitrina de propaganda del nuevo régimen. Pero en aquella época la geografía española se mostró incapaz de participar en esta experiencia a causa de su retraso institucional y académico, y el dominio de la ordenación del territorio quedó en manos de otros profesionales que poseían los conocimientos que les faltaban a los geógrafos.
El debate sobre la provisión pluralista de los servicios sociales
Authors: Banda Gallego Trinidad
Published: April 2016

El artículo que me propongo desarrollar versa sobre un tema de gran actualidad, la provisión pluralista de Servicios Sociales, planteado en tono de debate, porque en lo que se vislumbra respecto a este tema lo que existe son tendencias, pero aún no hay nada decidido sobre el giro que tomará la provisión de servicios. Se tratan aspectos sustanciales que dan cuerpo al debate, tales como las propuestas ideológicas que lo determinan, la relación entre Estado y sociedad civil, la diferencia entre los sectores que ya, de hecho, están presentes, para ver, por último, las ventajas y los límites que tienen cada uno de ellos. Es un debate fructífero al que habremos de contribuir todos los que, de alguna manera, estamos relacionados con la provisión de servicios de bienestar y, quizás, llegar al planteamiento de la necesaria complementariedad entre cada uno de los sectores implicados, porque ninguno de ellos reúne, en sí mismo, los requisitos necesarios para ofrecer una efectiva provisión de los servicios necesarios.

Pensar la epistemología del trabajo social
Authors: Vázquez Aguado Octavio
Published: April 2016

En el presente trabajo realizamos una reflexión a cerca de la epistemología del trabajo social. Partimos de considerar la epistemología como una reflexión de "segundo orden" frente a las producciones de la disciplina y profesión, siendo importante analizar qué relaciones mantiene con los contextos sociales donde se producen. En nuestro caso, vemos cuáles son los marcadores que más influyeron en el nacimiento del trabajo social y sus repercusiones en la consideración social de la disciplina. Creemos que la epistemología del trabajo social ha de hacerse teniendo en cuenta las aportaciones de este debate en el conjunto de las ciencias sociales, del cual nos interesa destacar lo que se denomina la concepción ampliada o nueva de las ciencias humanas, donde las características particulares del trabajo social encuentran la justificación para poder generar conocimiento. Establecido ya lo que nos aportan las ciencias sociales, abordamos el análisis de nuestra disciplina centrándonos en su concepto, objeto y método. Creemos que es posible la construcción de conocimientos puesto que, en las intervenciones del trabajo social, están presentes los grandes problemas teóricos de las ciencias sociales. Establezcamos una mínima distancia sobre las mismas para poder reflexionar sobre ellas.
Violencia familiar contra las personas ancianas que sufren dependencia y enfermedad
Authors: Bazo Royo María Teresa
Published: April 2016

Se presentan los primeros resultados de una investigación en avanzado proceso de análisis de los resultados obtenidos. Se analiza una muestra de 98 personas ancianas con problemas de salud y dependencia, que sufren algún tipo de negligencia o de maltrato y que son atendidas por el servicio de Atención Domiciliaria de los ayuntamientos de Vitoria, Sevilla y los municipios canarios de Las Palmas, Telde y San Bartolomé de Tirajana. Son 2.351 personas ancianas las atendidas en dichos municipios. El total de 111 casos detectados por las auxiliares domiciliaras supone el 4'7% del total, y eso sin duda es "la punta del iceberg" del problema real. Entre los resultados destaca que son más comunes los casos de negligencia que los de malos tratos propiamente dichos; que los niveles de los distintos tipos de dependencia/independencia por género son similares aunque las mujeres son algo más dependientes que los varones en cuanto al vestido y control de esfínteres, y algo más independientes en cuanto a movilidad o en la capacidad para alimentarse; que las mujeres son más víctimas de los malos tratos que los varones, incluso aún cuando, como en el caso del maltrato emocional y del abuso material, se trate de mujeres con independencia para vestirse y moverse. Una conclusión es que la naturaleza de los distintos tipos de malos tratos es diferente, y que parecen afectar a personas con características variadas. Otra es que la dependencia puede conllevar negligencia y/o maltrato. Y quizá la más significativa en cuanto a las políticas de prevención e intervención: que el género -ser mujer- puede ser un factor de riesgo más influyente que sufrir dependencia.

La presencia de los migrantes latinoamericanos en Génova-Italia: el caso de Perú y Ecuador
Authors: Valencia León Ivonne
Published: April 2016

Italia es uno de los países europeos de mayor atracción migratoria, siendo el colectivo peruano el más numeroso de los países latinoamericanos y el colectivo ecuatoriano el más numeroso en cuanto al crecimiento de población en los últimos 5 años. Italia ofrece grandes oportunidades de desarrollo, especialmente para los migrantes jóvenes, quienes son protagonistas de una etapa muy particular en las sociedades globalizadas. Como resultado del proceso migratorio, las familias peruanas y ecuatorianas se han adaptado a las ciudades de destino y se han producido cambios en el interior de su organización, como el rol de la madre, la desintegración familiar y la nueva constitución de familia (mixta). La población migrante es básicamente joven y femenina y busca alcanzar el sueño europeo.

The European present as World history
Authors: Therborn Göran
Published: April 2016

The task of analyzing European society may be approached from many angles. The one chosen here is a global comparative perspective, an effort to step outside the tempting but myopic and often misleading familiarity of inside experience. Let us look at European society today as part of world history. What does it mean to grasp the present as history? It means to look out for how the current situation is related to the past, and, above all, to the future. We shall here try to locate Europe in the history of modernity, and, secondly, in the dynamics of the world systems, systems in plural, as I shall explain later.
Formación sobre el burnout realizada desde el trabajo social con profesionales de los servicios de salud: enfoques integrados y estrategias participativas

Reflexiones acerca del proceso psico-social de valoración de idoneidad para la adopción de menores en la Comunidad Valenciana
Authors: Rosser Limiñana Ana
Published: April 2016

A lo largo de este trabajo, se realiza un análisis de los criterios técnicos y legales que sustentan la necesidad de realizar un proceso de valoración psico-social de las familias solicitantes de adopción, de los elementos que lo configuran y que pasan por distintas fases, desde que la familia se plantea la adopción hasta que el menor se incorpora definitivamente a su nueva familia, así como de sus resultados y consecuencias, haciendo una serie de consideraciones sobre las implicaciones de una resolución de no idoneidad. Finalmente, y a modo de conclusión, se propugna un modelo de trabajo conjunto con las familias, que permita la reflexión sobre sus expectativas y sus capacidades para la paternidad adoptiva, y la necesidad de seguir unos criterios que, alejados de posturas demasiado rígidas, sean capaces de adaptarse a la realidad social cambiante y a contextualizar las demandas de las familias y de adecuarlas a las necesidades actuales de los menores.
Cuba y el Caribe. Diáspora, raza e identidad cultural
Authors: Gomariz José
Published: April 2016

De la pluma del Almirante, las islas del Caribe comienzan a emerger en la imaginación europea dando comienzo al mito de la creación americana, así como de sus letras. En su singularidad, las islas se repiten en la plantación colonial, como sugiere Antonio Benítez Rojo; mientras que en el espacio postcolonial, son para George Lamming una familia de comunidades imaginadas. La transculturación de Fernando Ortiz, el discurso antillano de Édouard Glissant, el elogio de la créolité haitiana, son discursos de (com)unidad y pluralidad cultural que dan el perfil y la cifra de un Caribe, al decir de Iris Zavala, dialógico.

El arpa y la sombra: procesos intertextuales en la construcción del personaje de Cristobal Colón
Authors: Mompó Valor Javier
Published: April 2016

El arpa y la sombra, de Alejo Carpentier, narra el intento fallido de beatificación de Cristóbal Colón por parte de Pío IX y León XIII, articulando una red amplia de intertextos que van conformando progresivamente la imagen del Almirante. El libro de Cristóbal Colón, de Paul Claudel, y los Diarios del propio Colón, se articulan como intertextos fundamentales para el desarrollo de las tres partes de la novela: “El arpa”, “La mano” y “La sombra”. Conviven en la obra diversos grados de intertextualidad además de un corpus extenso de referencias, citas y alusiones, más o menos explícitas, dependiendo del momento narrativo. Todo con el objetivo de deconstruir y desmitificar la imagen tradicional para, finalmente, presentar una visión más crítica del Almirante a través del juego intertextual.
De Isabel, tres carabelas y un charlatán a Johan Padan en el descubrimiento de América: representaciones en América de la versión del descubrimiento de Dario Fo
Authors: Rovira Collado José
Published: April 2016

Dario Fo es posiblemente en estos momentos el autor italiano más conocido y sus obras se han representado por todo el mundo. El siguiente trabajo comienza con el análisis de dos obras que hablan del descubrimiento de América, partiendo desde la crítica Isabella, tre caravelle e un cacciaballe de 1963 hasta la fabulación juglaresca Johan Padan a la descoberta de l’America de 1992 que tuvo también una versión cinematográfica en dibujos animados en 2001. Después de analizar la visión grotesca que nos ofrecen de los personajes históricos y la evolución en el teatro de Fo, nos hemos centrado en recoger la difusión en Hispanoamérica de esas obras, haciendo un recorrido por las distintas versiones de ambas obras y prestando especial atención a las reseñas críticas de las representaciones para mostrar el importante éxito que han tenido.
Reconstruyendo el camino de Ercilla... Bello, Mistral y Neruda
Authors: Valero Juan Eva María
Published: April 2016

Si los personajes de La Araucana han ocupado un visible espacio en la literatura contemporánea, sin embargo su creador, Alonso de Ercilla, es ante todo una figura histórica que ha sido reivindicada en textos de análisis crítico, a excepción de algunos poemas y obras teatrales. En este artículo, analizo cómo los trabajos de Andrés Bello, Gabriela Mistral y Pablo Neruda ponen su objetivo en destacar la nobleza moral del Alonso de Ercilla, y en resaltar su figura como inaugurador de un discurso crítico americano en la poesía escrita en castellano. A esos valores Neruda añade la visión de Ercilla no sólo como inventor sino también como “libertador” de Chile. En definitiva, la recuperación contemporánea de Ercilla por todos ellos estaba trazando un camino que canonizó a Ercilla como inaugurador de la literatura chilena.

Authors: Cervera Salinas Vicente
Published: April 2016

La crónica de Elena Poniatowska ha sido el inicio de su escritura testimonial. El análisis de La Noche de Tlatelolco implica coincidencias singulares con la política activa llevada a cabo por la escritora y resume la situación mexicana en un momento de represión estatal. El simbolismo de la plaza de Tlatelolco se remonta a los tiempos del virreinato, otorgándole un valor añadido. El diálogo entre los distintos tiempos y los textos que surgen de los acontecimientos como los de Octavio Paz y José Emilio Pacheco, hacen resaltar la fractalidad de la literatura testimonial que da entrada a distintas voces.

«Proceso de la literatura» peruana
Authors: Rovira Soler José Carlos
Published: April 2016

José Carlos Mariátegui revisa y actualiza en 1928 la mirada sobre la literatura peruana en un texto, «Proceso de la literatura», el último de los 7 ensayos de interpretación de la realidad peruana, a través del cual se conforma una nueva visión del complejo proceso de formación de la literatura nacional. La reflexión de Mariátegui resulta un hito imprescindible en el debate cultural de principios de siglo XX sobre la identidad peruana y una respuesta fundamental a las controversias suscitadas en torno a los argumentos en disputa (hispanismo, colonialismo, indigenismo) sobre la conformación de una literatura nacional.

José de la Riva-Agüero, Víctor Andrés Belaúnde y los hermanos Francisco y Ventura García Calderón fueron los representantes más destacados de la generación peruana de 1900. Sus escritos muestran el proceso que los llevó desde los planteamientos positivistas heredados del siglo XIX, con los que iniciaron el análisis de los males que aquejaban al país, hasta otros de signo idealista y vitalista que, al indagar en el pasado histórico y literario del Perú, les animaron a buscar una síntesis capaz de conciliar el mundo prehispánico con la herencia colonial, con vistas a la creación de un nuevo Perú consciente de su pasado y, por tanto, de su identidad nacional, sobre la que habría de edificarse el futuro.
Designing Patient-facing Health Information Technologies for the Outpatient Settings: A Literature Review
Authors: Yang Yushi , Asan Onur
Published: April 2016

Introduction: The implementation of health information technologies (HITs) has changed the dynamics of doctor–patient communication in outpatient settings. Designing patient-facing HITs provides patients with easy access to healthcare information during the visit and has the potential to enhance the patient-centred care. Objectives: The objectives of this study are to systematically review how the designs of patient-facing HITs have been suggested and evaluated, and how they may potentially affect the doctor–patient communication and patient-centred care. Method: We conducted an online database search to identify articles published before December 2014 relevant to the objectives of this study. A total of nine papers have been identified and reviewed in this study. Results: Designing patient-facing HITs is at an early stage. The current literature has been exploring the impact of HITs on doctor–patient communication dynamics. Based on the findings of these studies, there is an emergent need to design more patient-centred HITs. There are also some papers that focus on the usability evaluation of some preliminary prototypes of the patient-facing HITs. The design styles of patient-facing HITs included sharing the health information with the patients on: (1) a separate patient display, (2) a projector, (3) a portable tablet, (4) a touch-based screen and (5) a shared computer display that can be viewed by both doctors and patients. Each of them had the strengths and limitations to facilitate the patient-centred care, and it is worthwhile to make a comparison of them in order to identify future research directions. Conclusion: The designs of patient-facing HITs in outpatient settings are promising in facilitating the doctor-patient communication and patient engagement. However, their effectiveness and usefulness need to be further evaluated and improved from a systems perspective.

This study was to analyze the actual field of multi-cultural education objectively. For the purpose of this study, the researchers analyzed the multi-cultural education policy and then investigated various elementary schools in Gyeongnam region to investigate what kinds of problems occurred in the field and to obtain implications regarding what needs to be changed. As for the data collection, interview, text analysis, and participant observation were used. The findings showed that the notion of multi-cultural education was very restricted within a scope of mutual understanding education. Thus, institutional level of support is needed to develop a context-oriented goals of multi-cultural education specifically for Korea. Also, schools did not spend much time for multi-cultural education and they usually had it as a form of one time event. In terms of the development of teaching methods, teachers should pay more attention to the environment of multi-cultrual background students and help non-multi-cultural background students embrace diversity. Finally, various assessments should be developed to evaluate the increasing number of multi-cultural education curricula. This will help not only the multi-cultural background students but also the non-multi-cultural background students in the field.

Authors: Kim In-sil , Bae Jee-hyun
Published: April 2016

The purpose of this case study was to present music-centered global citizenship education for young children through intercultural exchange by exploring the procedural significance of it. Music education was provided for Korean kindergarteners in two different classes and preschoolers in Puerto Rico, Thailand and Africa for one year in the form of intercultural exchange. The findings showed that the music-centered global citizenship education could be organized in terms of curriculum design, different areas of the curriculum and case assessment of the curriculum. The present study has three educational implications such as providing the students with dynamic cultural experiences through international exchange, forming global communities through music, and challenging teachers with a new approach. More longitudinal studies regarding various types of art-centered intercultural exchange programs should be encouraged in the future.

One of the main causes of disabling deficits is neurological affections. Many times, the evolution of the condition leads to a diminution of the patient’s life quality. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is part of the neurological rehabilitation process that comprises all the actions one can take in order to increase a patient’s integration and autonomy degree from a social and financial point of view. FES is a method based on substituting the commands that are usually transmitted by the nervous system with an electric impulse. The use of such a method on different body areas required the development of some adequate devices, starting with the stimulator itself and finishing with the way in which the stimulus is conveyed to the effectors. Textile materials that incorporate sensors and, mainly, the clothing products that have such components in their structure, have a high applicability potential; they can be used for preventing illnesses and for the rehabilitation of seniors, of people who are confined to bed, sportsmen, people who suffer from long-term illnesses, disabled people, thus diminishing the time one spends in the hospital. A possible solution for manufacturing incorporated textile electrodes consists in the insertion of some electro-conductive yarns onto textile surfaces by using a variety of technologies. The project approaches the use of knitting, a widespread textile technology. The incorporated knitted electrodes were accomplished by applying the knitting technology on single circular small diameter machines. Thus, we were able to obtain a variety of knitted articles as two-dimensional or three-dimensional tubular knitted fabric. Their dimensions, structures, and parameters correspond to the typo-dimensions of the human body and to the purpose for which the clothing product was designed. The knitted versions were tested by using a Microstim2v2 (PW = 300 μs, 40 Hz) neurostimulator for which the current intensity was adjusted to approx. 30 mA.

Published: April 2016

Small diameter (mini) dental implants have become more popular in recent years as alternatives to classical implant treatment in clinical cases with critical bony situations. However, an in-depth scientific analysis of the mechanical and biomechanical effects of small diameter implants has not yet been published. The aim of the present study was to investigate experimentally different commercial mini implants by measuring their displacements under immediate loading. Twelve commercially available mini implants were measured. Implants were inserted into porcine mandibular segments and loaded by means of a predefined displacement of 0.5 mm of the loading system. The implants were loaded at an angle of 30° to the implant long axis using the self-developed biomechanical hexapod measurement system. Implant displacements were registered. The experimental results were compared to the numerical ones from a previous study. Measured implant displacements were within the range of 39–194 μm. A large variation in the displacements was obtained among the different implant systems due to the different designs and thread profiles. Comparing experimental and numerical results, the displacements that were obtained numerically were within the range of 79–347 μm. The different commercial mini implants showed acceptable primary stability and could be loaded immediately after their insertion.

Published: April 2016

Traditional wavelet denoising method cannot eliminate complex high-pressure pipe signals effectively. In the updated wavelet adaptive algorithm, this thesis defines the constraints in order to reconstruct the signals accurately. According to the minimum mean square error criterion, the results predict the weight coefficient and get the optimal linear predictive value. Adopting the improved algorithm under the same condition, this thesis concluded that Db6 increased the complexity of wavelet algorithm by 50% by comparative experiments. It will be more conducive to the realization of hardware and the feasibility of real-time denoising. Dual adaptive wavelet denoising method improved SNR by 50%. This denoising method will play a key role in the detection rate of high-pressure pipe in the online leakage detection system.

Analysis of the distribution of CO2 concentrations was performed for a water-and-steam boiler plant located in a detached building supplying thermal energy to a hospital. The boiler plant was equipped with two low-temperature boilers and one high-temperature steam boiler. The maximum thermal energy demand of the hospital was 4280, 3500 kW of which came from the hot-water boilers and the remaining 780 kW from the steam boiler. Due to the operating system there were no permanent job positions in the boiler plant. Servicing consisted only in the supervision, periodic adjustment and maintenance of the equipment. These kinds of working conditions release the employer from the necessity to perform tests and measurements of working conditions in such a building. On the other hand, continuous measurements are made because of the installation safety and emissions of pollutants into the environment. The article presents results of the measurements and analysis of the distribution of CO2 concentrations inside and outside a small boiler plant, due to which it was found that the level of carbon dioxide concentration did not depend on the ambient air temperature. The resulting values are similar regardless of whether the measurements were taken in December 2012 or April 2013. However, there is an evident impact of seasons on the concentrations in the indoor air associated primarily with the demand for heat during the given period, the stay of people in the workplace and the number of working devices.

The Fine Resolution Atmospheric Multi-pollutant Exchange model was used to calculate the mean annual concentration of PM2.5 at a resolution of 5 km × 5 km for the United Kingdom (UK) and Poland for the year 2007. The modelled average PM2.5 concentration is higher for Poland than the UK and amounts to 9.2 µg · m−3 and 5.6 µg · m−3, respectively. The highest concentrations concern London and coastal areas (due to the sea salt contribution) for the UK and urban agglomerations in the case of Poland. Maximum values occurring close to the UK coastline can reach 18 µg · m−3. The average contribution of natural particles amounts to 34 and 20% of total PM2.5 concentration, respectively for the UK and Poland. Among anthropogenic particles for both countries the highest contribution falls on secondary inorganic aerosols and the lowest contribution is for secondary organic aerosols.

Published: April 2016

The present paper deals with the classification of the suitability of combined sewers for the installation of heat exchangers and with assessment of the theoretical potential of wastewater in the sewer system for heating of buildings. A classification scheme involving criteria like theoretically available heat, sewer diameter, number of the heat exchanger parallel modules in the sewer cross-section, hydraulic conditions (hydraulic capacity of the sewer, pressurized flow), and potential fouling by biofilm growth was developed. First, individual sewers in the pilot catchment were assessed based on monitoring the flow characteristics and wastewater temperatures and on pipe flow modelling. Second, connectivity of the suitable and partly suitable sewers was examined with respect to the length necessary for the installation of the heat exchanger with the minimum required power of 100 kW. For the continuous sewer sections, the maximum potential power was calculated. The presented approach is generally applicable, however, for other heat exchanger types and other climatic and economic conditions, values of the suitability criteria for the heat exchanger installation must be adapted.

The results of anaerobic digestion (AD) of buttermilk (BM) and cheese whey (CW) with a digested sewage sludge as inoculum is described. The substrate/inoculum mixtures were prepared using 10% buttermilk and 15% cheese whey. The essential parameters of the materials were described, including: total solids (TS), volatile solids (VS), pH, conductivity, C/N ratio (the quantitative ratio of organic carbon (C) to nitrogen (N)), alkalinity, chemical oxygen demand (COD). The potential directions of biodegradation of the organic waste types, as used in this study, are also presented. Appropriate chemical reactions illustrate the substrates and products in each phase of anaerobic decomposition of the compounds that are present in buttermilk and cheese whey: lactic acid, lactose, fat, and casein. Moreover, the biogas and biomethane production rates are compared for the substrates used in the experiment. The results have shown that buttermilk in AD generates more biogas (743 m3/Mg VS), including methane (527 m3/Mg VS), when compared with cheese whey (600 m3/Mg VS, 338 m3/Mg VS for biogas and methane, respectively).
