The crumb rubber modifier (CRM) particles release polymeric fractions in the matrix of the asphalt binder, which increase the asphalt binder’s fatigue and rutting resistance. The used motor oil (UMO) compensates the asphalt binder for the low-molecular-weight components lost during the aging processes. Moreover, UMO could increase the asphalt binder’s fluidity and softness. Therefore, modification of the asphalt binder by CRM in combination with UMO could enhance the asphalt binder’s performance. In this paper, the asphalt binder was modified by CRM. Then, the UMO was added to the crumb rubber modified asphalt (CRMA). The neat asphalt, CRMA, and UMO–CRMA binders’ resistance to rutting and fatigue cracking was evaluated. Temperature sweep test was used to evaluate the neat and modified asphalt binders’ resistance to rutting and fatigue cracking by measuring |G*|/sinδ and |G*|.sinδ parameters, respectively. Linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test was used to analyze the neat and modified asphalt binders’ resistance to fatigue cracking by measuring the number of load repetitions to failure (Nf). It was found that using CRM and UMO enhanced the asphalt binder’s resistance to rutting and fatigue cracking. Therefore, UMO succeeded as a rejuvenator to balance the CRMA binder’s performance. This had occurred by creating a balance between the enhanced properties at high, intermediate, and low temperatures. Interaction temperature plays a dominant role in enhancing the asphalt binder’s performance: the enhancement in rutting and fatigue cracking parameters reached the highest values for CRMA or UMO–CRMA samples interacted at 190°C interaction temperature. At 220°C interaction temperature, these enhancements had decreased due to the devulcanization and depolymerization processes of the polymeric components released in the asphalt binder’s matrix.

Training evaluation and the need for effective and efficient training methods have always been the focus of researchers and practitioners alike. This search was further fuelled by the creation and identification of theories in the area of learning. Organizational researchers have been constantly borrowing from the fields of Academics in the hopes of identifying what would work best for their people. While adoption of theories has been accepted and encouraged, the understanding of the effects of the new ‘Learner centric’ approaches is still incomplete. The current study attempts to evaluate one proposed outcome of Self-efficacy. Literature in the area of Self-efficacy has linked the concept to training transfer. In the current study, the researchers attempt to understand the relationship between Active Learning design and Self-efficacy. The findings of the study suggest that this relationship is significant and must be considered while planning and designing training modules. The researchers also propose an equation to predict the levels of self-efficacy in the participants, given the level of participation, quality and timeliness of feedback and the learning environment.

The earth’s supply of fresh water is fixed. Its distribution is skewed spatially and temporarily. The maximum usage of water withdrawals is by agricultural sector for irrigation. It is socially, economically and culturally entwined with the lives of people. In the course of irrigation development many irrigation projects have been evolved across India. There are various irrigation techniques followed in different parts of India. The continued growth of population, industrialization, urbanization, climate change, emission of greenhouse gases and deforestation build up pressure on available water resources and arable land for food production. It is further worsened with crop production loss, deterioration of water sheds, disappearance of wetlands and reoccurrence of erratic monsoon. The fall of ground water table, deterioration of quality water, salinization, soil degradation, water logging and irrational use of water emphasized the need for conservation of irrigation water sources. While we have adopted many conservation measures like artificial recharge scheme, percolation ponds, check dams, irrigated agriculture modernization and rehabilitation works on the one side, the problem of irrigation water scarcity and shortage in the availability of quality water still persists. Hence, an attempt has been made to study the need s and effective management on conservation of irrigation water resources.

Prerequisites for the field communications networks in the process industries include effective support for hybrid traffic, durability, availability, reliability, security, and scalability in a harsh industrial environment. Moreover, the establishment of such a network on a license-free scale raises worries regarding its security, safety, functioning and service quality (QoS). Quality of Service relates to the management of network resources and the provision of services required by the application by controlling delay, jitter, packet loss rate and bandwidth. To develop an industrial-strength wireless network that can handle stringent process automation requirements, impose restrictions on network design that includes hardware and software components used. To achieve the quality of service required, a broad view of systems must be seen as the overall performance of network-based applications based on the operation, interaction and collaboration of individual components. To achieve the perceived network, various problems are dealt with. As part of this research, three specific issues were addressed: time synchronization problem in distributed systems, closed-loop control on a resource-constrained wireless network, and transmission power monitoring (TPC) in wireless field nodes. They address the problem of limited resources available in distributed field nodes with a view to maximizing the use of available resources. This will be explained in detail later. Recent developments in wireless communications technologies creating new opportunities for wireless communication to field equipment in industries such as gas and oil, bulk water distribution and chemical processing. Wireless communications can help the above industries improve factory knowledge by getting complementary, measurements of operations and devices when wired communication is not allowed. The operational field communications network requirements include active support for hybrid traffic, durability, reliability, safety, and scalability in the industrial environment of harsh. Moreover, the establishment of such a network on a scale that does not carry any license raises worries regarding its security, safety, functioning and governance.

Indo-US Civil Nuclear Deal & Pakistan Security
Authors: Hussain Sargana Tauqeer , Hussain Mujahid
Published: December 2019

The ‘Indo-US civil nuclear cooperation’ has casted negative shadows over Pakistan’s security with that of strategic stability in South Asia. This paper makes the point that the emergence of strategic partnership between Indian and US has served bilateral objectives while impacting deeply on the geo-political landscape of Pakistan’s strategic interests. The fundamental strategic objective of Pakistan has been to resist Indian hegemonic role in the region. To achieve such a balance the country has not only joined security alliances in the past but had to detonate its nuclear weapons in reaction to Indian attempt to outburst the ‘balance of power’. Due to Indo-US nuclear cooperation, suddenly Pakistan came under stress as it allowed India to feed its civilian reactors by importing fuel from international market with that of using domestic fuel in its military reactors. This not only allowed India to fix energy shortfall but also sustain its nuclear weapons program. Pakistan contrary to that was set-aside and denied the similar treatment as of India. Therefore, this paper has made an attempt to objectively analyze the premises of Indo-US nuclear cooperation and highlight security implications for Pakistan. The study is deductive in nature and has used mixed method approach with qualitative research methodology.
South Asian Geo-Politics from the Prism of Pak-China Relations
Authors: Saud Dr. Adam , Arif Kinza
Published: December 2019

With the emergence of non-state actors, South Asia regional significance has augmented. The dynamics of the region were already governed under the shaky foundations due to the declared nuclear states of Pakistan and India. However, growing Sino and US interests have shifted the dynamics of the region in divergent strands; where one promotes economic integration while the other calls for defensive up-gradation measures. The very element calls for the development of alliances of different natures. To focus on Pak-China relations, despite belonging to different cultures and belief systems, both states have enjoyed strong bilateral relations. They are a clear challenge to players such as the US and India.

This article is steered towards addressing the ever-changing dynamics of South Asia via providing a qualitative analysis. The ambition is to unravel the steering objectives of this alliance and address the potential challenges of the upcoming future. This research has tried to answer the following questions. What is the geopolitical importance of South Asia? Which regional and extra-regional powers have geo-political and geo-strategic interests in this region and how their interests converge and diverge with each other? The relations amidst Pakistan and China have been investigated under the realist paradigm; under the application of Balance of Threat Theory. Regional integration in the form of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the China-Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC) is analyzed through the lens of the Theory of Complex Interdependence. Research is based on qualitative methodology having secondary sources. It is interpretive, and critical in nature.

The urban heat island phenomenon occurs in urban areas. It is characterized by increased temperature of both the air and ground surface, compared to the surrounding rural landscape, and is a typical feature of the urban climate. As this phenomenon may affect quality of life in the cities, a variety of scientific studies have been carried out. The article provides a review and evaluation of selected published studies devoted to the issue of the urban heat island, from the point of view of the application of land cover and land use data in the 3-dimensional microscale urban model. Part of the review brings into focus the MUKLIMO model, which computes the atmospheric conditions in urban landscapes and predicts thermal and other climatic characteristics. Evaluated studies confirmed the correlation between the land cover/land use classes and occurrence of the urban heat islands, i.e. a higher percentage of impermeable surfaces within the urban heat island causes more intensive thermal manifestation. The urban heat island effect diminishes when there are less impermeable surfaces and a greater representation of urban greenery in land cover/land use classes.

MAESTROeX: A Massively Parallel Low Mach Number Astrophysical Solver
Authors: Fan Duoming , Nonaka Andrew , Almgren Ann S. , Harpole Alice , Zingale Michael
Published: December 2019

We present MAESTROeX, a massively parallel solver for low Mach number astrophysical flows. The underlying low Mach number equation set allows for efficient, long-time integration for highly subsonic flows compared to compressible approaches. MAESTROeX is suitable for modeling full spherical stars as well as well as planar simulations of dynamics within localized regions of a star, and can robustly handle several orders of magnitude of density and pressure stratification. Previously, we have described the development of the predecessor of MAESTROeX, called MAESTRO, in a series of papers. Here, we present a new, greatly simplified temporal integration scheme that retains the same order of accuracy as our previous approaches. We also explore the use of alternative spatial mapping of the one-dimensional base state onto the full Cartesian grid. The code leverages the new AMReX software framework for block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) applications, allowing for scalability to large fractions of leadership-class machines. Using our previous studies on the convective phase of single-degenerate progenitor models of SNe Ia as a guide, we characterize the performance of the code and validate the new algorithmic features. Like MAESTRO, MAESTROeX is fully open source.

Published: December 2019

Studying the internal processes of individual galaxies at kilo-parsec scales is crucial in enhancing our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution processes. In this work, we investigate the distribution of star formation rate (SFR), specific SFR (sSFR), and dust attenuation across individual galaxies for a sample of 32 galaxies selected from the MUSE-Wide Survey at 0.1 < z < 0.42 with a dynamic range in stellar masses between 107.7 and 1010.3
M
⊙. We take advantage of the high spatial resolution of the MUSE integral field spectrograph and measure reliable spatially resolved Hα and Hβ emission-line maps for individual galaxies. We also derive resolved stellar mass, SFR and dust maps using pixel-by-pixel spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting on high-resolution multiband Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Advanced Camera for Surveys and HST/Wide Field Camera 3 data from the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey survey. By combining these, we analyze the radial profile of various physical parameters across these galaxies. We observe a radial dependence in both stellar and nebular color excess profiles peaking at the inner regions of galaxies. We also find the color excess profiles to most strongly correlate with the integrated sSFRs of galaxies. The median sSFRHα
radial profiles of galaxies in our sample show a 0.8 dex increase from the central regions outward. This increase compared with the almost flat median radial profile of sSFRSED, which traces longer timescales of star formation, is in favor of the inside-out quenching of star formation. We bring further evidence for this quenching scenario from the locus of different subregions of galaxies on the SFR–M
* and sSFR–M
* relations.
Core–Envelope Coupling in Intermediate-mass Core-helium Burning Stars
Authors: Tayar Jamie , Beck Paul G. , Pinsonneault Marc H. , García Rafael A. , Mathur Savita
Published: December 2019

Stars between two and three solar masses rotate rapidly on the main sequence, and the detection of slow core and surface rotation in the core-helium burning phase for these stars places strong constraints on their angular momentum transport and loss. From a detailed asteroseismic study of the mixed-dipole mode pattern in a carefully selected, representative sample of stars, we find that slow core rotation rates in the range reported by prior studies are a general phenomenon and not a selection effect. We show that the core rotation rates of these stars decline strongly with decreasing surface gravity during the core He-burning phase. We argue that this is a model-independent indication of significant rapid angular momentum transport between the cores and envelopes of these stars. We see a significant range in core rotation rates at all surface gravities, with little evidence for a convergence toward a uniform value. We demonstrate using evolutionary models that measured surface rotation periods are a biased tracer of the true surface rotation distribution, and we argue for using stellar models for interpreting the contrast between core and surface rotation rates. The core rotation rates we measure do not have a strong mass or metallicity dependence. We argue that the emerging data strongly favor a model where angular momentum transport is much more efficient during the core He-burning phase than in the shell-burning phases that precede and follow it.
On the Rapid Orbital Expansion in the Compact Low-mass X-Ray Binary 2A 1822–371
Authors: Xing Ze-Pei , Li Xiang-Dong
Published: December 2019

The neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary 2A 1822−371 has an orbital period of 5.57 hr. Mass transfer in such short-period binaries is thought to be driven by magnetic braking with orbital shrinking. However, 2A 1822−371 shows a very rapid orbital expansion, implying that mass transfer occurs rapidly in this system. The accretion rate of the NS is observationally estimated to be higher than the Eddington limit, which is also hard to explain by the standard magnetic braking mechanism. In this work, we construct a model to account for the peculiar properties of 2A 1822−371. We assume that the donor star possesses a relatively strong magnetic field, which is coupled with the stellar winds excited by the X-ray radiation from the NS. This would generate efficient angular momentum loss, leading to a high mass transfer rate and hence orbital expansion. We provide possible evolutionary tracks of 2A 1822−371 and study how the input parameters affect the results. The observational implications of the irradiation-driven mass loss are also briefly discussed in the context of evolution of low-mass X-ray binaries and millisecond pulsars.

By means of 3D hydrodynamical simulations, we evaluate here the impact that supernova (SN) explosions occurring within wind-driven bubbles have on the survival or destruction of dust grains. We consider both the dust generated within the ejecta and the dust initially present in the ambient gas and later locked up in the surrounding wind-driven shell (WDS). The collision of the SN blast wave with the WDS leads to a transmitted shock that moves into the shell and a reflected shock that moves into the ejecta. The transmitted shock is capable of destroying large amounts of the dust locked in the shell, but only if the mass of the WDS is small, less than a few tens the ejected mass. Conversely, massive WDSs, with several times the ejected mass, lead upon the interaction to strong radiative cooling, which inhibits the Sedov–Taylor phase and weakens the transmitted shock, making it unable to traverse the WDS. In such a case, the destruction/disruption of the ambient dust is largely inhibited. On the other hand, the SN remnants grow rapidly in the very tenuous region excavated by the stellar winds, and thus a large fraction of the dust generated within the ejecta is not efficiently destroyed by the SN reverse shock, nor by the reflected shock. Our calculations favor a scenario in which core-collapse SNe within sufficiently massive WDSs supply more dust to the interstellar medium than they are able to destroy.
Climates of Warm Earth-like Planets. III. Fractional Habitability from a Water Cycle Perspective

The habitable fraction of a planet’s surface is important for the detectability of surface biosignatures. The extent and distribution of habitable areas are influenced by external parameters that control the planet’s climate, atmospheric circulation, and hydrological cycle. We explore these issues using the ROCKE-3D general circulation model, focusing on terrestrial water fluxes and thus the potential for the existence of complex life on land. Habitability is examined as a function of insolation and planet rotation for an Earth-like world with zero obliquity and eccentricity orbiting the Sun. We assess fractional habitability using an aridity index that measures the net supply of water to the land. Earth-like planets become “superhabitable” (a larger habitable surface area than Earth) as insolation and day-length increase because their climates become more equable, reminiscent of past warm periods on Earth when complex life was abundant and widespread. The most slowly rotating, most highly irradiated planets, though, occupy a hydrological regime unlike any on Earth, with extremely warm, humid conditions at high latitudes but little rain and subsurface water storage. Clouds increasingly obscure the surface as insolation increases, but visibility improves for modest increases in rotation period. Thus, moderately slowly rotating rocky planets with insolation near or somewhat greater than modern Earth’s appear to be promising targets for surface characterization by a future direct imaging mission.

Authors: Siregar Gontar Alamsyah , Anshari Farhan
Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND: Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) recently a derived score composed of white blood cell and has been evaluated in a large number of the malignancy.
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate ANC levels among degree of differentiation and tumor location in Colorectal Cancer (CRC) in Medan.
METHODS: This study was a cross-sectional analytical study on eighty consecutive patients with CRC. Data collection was obtained from the medical record of the patient at Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia. Inclusion criteria were included male or female aged ≥ 18 years old, the patient with CRC, blood test especially ANC, and the patient with histopathology test. The exclusion criteria were defined as a patient with chemotherapy, HIV, and the patient with sepsis. Data were analyzed with SPSS for window version 21.
RESULTS: here were Rectal cancer 49.4%, Left side colon cancer 43.2%, and Right-side colon cancer 6.2%. Histopathological findings well differentiated 40.7%, moderate differentiated 32.1%, and poorly differentiated 25.9%. This study showed that no significant differences between ANC and location of the tumor (p = 0.951), but ANC level was significant in histopathological findings (p = 0.0001).
CONCLUSION: ANC increased in poorly differentiated, and location of the tumor is left side colon cancer.

BACKGROUND: The incidence rate of hypertension is increasing in Indonesia concerning unhealthy behaviours such as unhealthy physical activity and eating pattern which trigger obesity. In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension in > 18-year-old people was 34.1% in 2018.
AIM: The objective of the research was to find out the relationship between physical activity and obesity with the incidence of hypertension in adults (26-45 years old) in Medan.
METHODS: The research was done in Medan, using a case-control study design. The samples were 150 hypertension patients, taken by using proportional allocation: 75 of them were in the case group and the other 75 of them were in the control group. The data were gathered by conducting interviews, measurement, and questionnaires and analysed by using simple logistic regression test.
RESULTS: The result of the research showed that there was significant relationship of physical activity (p = 0.000; OR = 3.6; 95% CI, 1.802-7.270) and obesity (p = 0.000; OR = 4; 95% CI, 2.030-7.900) with the incidence of hypertension in 26-45-year-old respondents.
CONCLUSION: Make a habit of a healthy lifestyle in their daily life by doing physical activity regularly and good eating pattern to forestall hypertension.

Published: December 2019

The nanomaterials for cancer medication are already reality providing a wide range of new tools and possibilities, from earlier diagnostics and improved imaging to better, more efficient, and more targeted anticancer therapies. The purpose of this critical review is to focus on the current use of clinically approved nanoparticles for cancer theranostic, nanovaccines and delivery platforms for gene therapy. These include inorganic, metal and polymer nanoparticles, nanocrystals and varieties of drug delivery nanosystems (micelles, liposomes, microcapsules and etc.). The recent progress in cancer nanomedicine enables to combine the benefits of individual nanoparticles with biomolecules into a multifunction nanomachines and even highly advanced nanorobots for targeted therapies. Nowadays clinical trials with advanced anticancer nanomachines provide potential for more accurately and effective identification and destruction of the cancer cells present in the human body.

Neurobiological Effects of Childhood Abuse
Authors: Rick Susan , Douglas Dianna H.
Published: December 2019

EXCERPT

Violence and abuse are problems throughout the world and pose a significant threat to society and to the health of its individuals. Children are particularly susceptible to the stress of early and severe violence and abuse, which produces a range of neurobiological reactions that have the potential to cause enduring changes in brain development (Teicher et al., 2003; Teicher, Tomoda, & Andersen, 2006) and may result in a variety of psychiatric illnesses and behavioral dysfunctions. Infusing into practice the latest research-based nursing interventions for this vulnerable population of children is essential. This infusion of research into practice is the very foundation of evidence-based nursing practice, which involves the review, evaluation, and application of the most current knowledge for solving specific client problems. Nurses must recognize that violence and childhood abuse are a significant public health problem. Nurses must also become more involved in preventive measures and be able to intervene effectively with the sequelae of abuse.
