BATHYMETRY MAPPING USING HYPERSPECTRAL DATA: A CASE STUDY OF YAMADA BAY, NORTHEAST JAPAN
Authors: Ariyasu E. , Kakuta S. , Takeda T.
Published: June 2016

Abstract. This study aims to examine if the inversion method using hyperspectral data is applicable in Japan. Nowadays, overseas researchers are mainly applied an inversion method for accurately estimating water depth. It is able to gain not only water depth, but also benthic spectral reflection and inherent optical properties (IOPs) at the same time, based on physics-based radiative transfer theory for hyperspectral data. It is highly significant to understand the possibility to develop the application in future for coastal zone of main island, which is a common water quality in Japan, but there is not any case study applied this method in Japan. The study site of Yamada bay in Iwate Prefecture is located in northeast of Japan. An existed analytical model was optimized for mapping water depth in Yamada bay using airborne hyperspectral image and ground survey data which were simultaneously acquired in December, 2015. The retrieved remote-sensing reflectance (Rrs) is basically qualitatively appropriate result. However, when compared with all ground survey points, the retrieved water depth showed low correlation, even though ground points which are selected sand bottom indicates high relationship. Overall, we could understand the inversion method is applicable in Japan. However, it needs to challenge to improve solving error-caused problems.

Abstract. Light-weight hyperspectral frame cameras represent novel developments in remote sensing technology. With frame camera technology, when capturing images with stereoscopic overlaps, it is possible to derive 3D hyperspectral reflectance information and 3D geometric data of targets of interest, which enables detailed geometric and radiometric characterization of the object. These technologies are expected to provide efficient tools in various environmental remote sensing applications, such as canopy classification, canopy stress analysis, precision agriculture, and urban material classification. Furthermore, these data sets enable advanced quantitative, physical based retrieval of biophysical and biochemical parameters by model inversion technologies. Objective of this investigation was to study the aspects of capturing hyperspectral reflectance data from unmanned airborne vehicle (UAV) and terrestrial platform with novel hyperspectral frame cameras in complex, forested environment.
Instrumented flow-following sensor particles with magnetic position detection and buoyancy control
Authors: Reinecke Sebastian Felix , Hampel Uwe
Published: June 2016

Abstract. A concept for buoyancy control and magnetic position detection has been developed for the improvement of instrumented flow-following sensor particles. The sensor particles are used for investigation of hydrodynamic and biochemical processes in large-scale vessels such as biogas fermenters, bioreactors and aerated sludge basins. Neutral buoyancy of the sensor particles is required for tracing of the fluid flows. Buoyancy control is performed by adjustment of the sensor particles' volume, which is altered by an integrated piston. A miniaturized linear actuator, namely a stepper motor with linear transmission, is operated by a microcontroller to drive the piston. The buoyancy control unit enables accurate automated taring of the sensor particles in the stagnant process fluid to achieve neutral buoyancy. Therefore, the measured vertical position of the sensor particle as a function of the hydrostatic pressure is used as feedback. It has an incremental density change of 0.0136 % as compared to water and a residual drift velocity of approximately 3.6  ×  10−3 m s−1. Furthermore, a minimum density of 926 kg m−3 can be set by full extension of the piston, which allows floating of the sensor particles after a defined event, namely critical charge of battery, full data storage or the end of a fixed time cycle. Thus, recovery of the sensor particles can proceed easily from the fluid level. The sensor particles with a buoyancy control unit are tested for depths up to 15 m. Also, detection of a local magnetic position marker by the sensor particles has been implemented to enhance movement tracking. It was tested in a lab-scale biogas digester and was used for estimation of the liquid circulation time distribution and Peclét number to describe the macro-flow.
Wind turbine power production and annual energy production depend on atmospheric stability and turbulence
Authors: St. Martin Clara  M. , Lundquist Julie K. , Clifton Andrew , Poulos Gregory S. , Schreck Scott  J.
Published: June 2016

Abstract. Using detailed upwind and nacelle-based measurements from a General Electric [GE] 1.5 sle model with a 77 m rotor diameter, we calculated power curves and annual energy production (AEP) and explored their sensitivity to different atmospheric parameters. This work provides guidelines for the use of stability and turbulence filters in segregating power curves to gain a clearer picture of the power performance of a turbine. The wind measurements upwind of the turbine include anemometers mounted on a 135 m meteorological tower and lidar vertical profiles. We calculated power curves for different regimes based on turbulence parameters such as turbulence intensity (TI) and turbulence kinetic energy (TKE), as well as atmospheric stability parameters such as Bulk Richardson number (RB). AEP was also calculated with and without these atmospheric filters and differences between these calculations are highlighted in this article. The power curves for different TI and TKE regimes revealed that, at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Wind Technology Center (NWTC) at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), increased TI and TKE undermined power production at wind speeds near rated, but increased power production at lower wind speeds. Similarly, power curves for different RB regimes revealed that periods of stable conditions produced more power at wind speeds near rated and periods of unstable conditions produced more power at lower wind speeds. AEP results suggest that calculations done without filtering for these atmospheric regimes may be overestimating the AEP. Because of statistically significant differences between power curves and AEP calculated with these turbulence and stability filters for this turbine at this site, we suggest implementing an additional step in analyzing power performance data to take atmospheric stability and turbulence across the rotor disk into account.

Published: June 2016

Objectives:  Methods:  Results:  Conclusions:  Home visiting policy should be more selective. While most children could be adequatelytaken care of by telephone consultations or consultations in the surgery, home visits should be encouragedfor the chronically ill and the housebound.5.074 home visits were recorded (9.2% of all face-to-face contacts). Home visiting rates werehighest for the elderly and for children. Most home visits were for new diagnoses, and 28% took placeduring weekends. Infections in the respiratory tract comprised the majority of the diagnoses for visitingchildren, whereas coronary heart disease and heart failure were the most frequent diagnoses for visitingthe elderly. Drugs were prescribed during 48.9% of the home visits. General systemic antiinfectives andrespiratory drugs comprised 53% of all prescriptions, whereas CNS-drugs comprised another 20%. Doctors'characteristics associated with doing home visits were male gender, young age, GP specialisation,fixed salary, and rural location.A cross-sectional descriptive study in the Norwegian county of Møre & Romsdal. All encounters(90,458) and prescriptions (74,079) issued during two months were recorded.Although home health care has been the fastest growing segment of the health care systemduring the last decades, general practitioners' (GPs') home visiting rates have declined. The aim of thisstudy was to analyse home visits in relation to characteristics of both patients and GPs, the diagnoses,and the drugs prescribed.ABSTRACT

Published: June 2016

Background:  Method:  Results:  Conclusion:  Key Words:  insomnia; older adults; diagnosis; perception of sleepThe results cast doubts about the usefulness of the common criteria (30 minutes sleeponset latency and wake after sleep onset) used in clinical contexts to diagnose insomnia. Unrealisticpositive expectations about sleep changes with age can lower the threshold for complaining and thuscontribute to dissatisfaction and worry about sleep. Sedative-hypnotic drugs did seem to have limitedbenefit for the participants in this study.For those generally satisfied with their sleep, mean sleep onset latency was 37 minutes andmean wake after sleep onset was 38 minutes. It was further demonstrated that 59.2% of the sample hadunrealistic positive expectations (did not expect worsening of sleep with age) regarding sleep in oldage. Those using sedative-hypnotic medication (23.3%) were less satisfied with their sleep and felt lessrefreshed during the day than non-users. Contrary to most studies, no general gender differences inperception of sleep was revealed. The only exception was total sleep time where men reported moresleep than women (6.78 vs. 6.15 hours) per day.A questionnaire focusing on the subjective experience of sleep was administered to 116 older(60 years and above) visitors at 4 senior centres in Bergen, Norway.Discrepancies between objectively and subjectively measured sleep variables make diagnosinginsomnia in the elderly difficult. Also relevant to diagnosing insomnia in the elderly are expectationsabout sleep, gender and use of sedative-hypnotic medication. The present study focuses on howthese variables relate to insomnia and sleep satisfaction.ABSTRACT
Seroprevalence of Blood Borne Pathogens among Health Care Workers and Their Hepatitis B Vaccination Status in Tertiary Care Hospitals in India
Authors: Dafei Maryam , Sarin Shiv K. , Kannan Anjur T. , Agrawal Kamal , Garg Suneela , Agrawal Kieert , Dehghani Ali
Published: June 2016

BACKGROUND & AIM: Occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens, mainly human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV), poses a serious risk to healthcare workers (HCWs), especially in developing countries, due to the high prevalence of these pathogens and fewer safety precautions. The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of HBV, HCV, and HIV infections and to measure the vaccination practices in HCWs at three tertiary care hospitals in Delhi, India.

METHOD: In a descriptive (cross-sectional) study, the HCWs of three tertiary hospitals were selected by simple random sampling and divided into four different groups (nurses, laboratory and operational theater technicians, doctors and housekeeping workers). The participants were screened for the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag), antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti HBs), antibody to hepatitis C (anti HCV), and antibody to HIV (anti HIV). From June 2010 to April 2012, a structured questionnaire was administered to 850 HCWs after obtaining consent.

RESULTS: Among 850 HCWs, 51.8% were nurses and 50.6% were female with a mean (SD) age of 34(8.7) years.  The overall seroprevalence of HBsAg, anti-HCV, and anti-HIV was 1.1%, 0.3%, and 0.1%, respectively. There was a high proportion of HBsAg positivity among housekeeping workers (4.9%) followed by nurses (3.3%). Out of 9 positive cases of HBsAg, 66% (6) were never vaccinated and out of a total of 11 positive subjects, 72 % (8) had previous exposure in the workplace. Complete HBV vaccination was done in 78.2% (605) of the HCWs and 11.3% (75) were partially vaccinated. Only 20.1% had checked their anti-HBs. Protective (>10 IU/mL) anti-HBs was seen in 70.6% (600) of the participants, indicating that nearly one third of HCWs were not protected against HBV infection. The majority of the study subjects (63.6%) believed that they were immunized against hepatitis B and did not need to check the immunity titer.

CONCLUSION: Not all HCWs were vaccinated and the majority of vaccinated subjects did not know their immunity level. Housekeeping workers had a high seropositivity rate of infections and a low rate of vaccination against HBV. Institutional policy and training were found to be of paramount importance to improve the quality of health in HCWs.
Ethical Guidelines for Conducting Experiments and Writing Scientific Reports in Psychology
Authors: Padilla Vargas María Antonia
Published: June 2016

Recently, many cases of scientific malpractice have been reported, and their severity has resulted in the dismissal of those involved, the rescission of academic degrees, expulsion from academic organizations, and even prison sentences. Because it is essential to provide ethical training to people involved in scientific research, the objective of this paper is to describe the ethical guidelines that everyone who conducts experiments in psychology must observe, especially when human participants are involved. These guidelines are also applicable to authors of scientific papers. Our goal is to contribute to ensuring the ethical performance of scientific work. Also, in an effort to eradicate scientific malpractice, we propose implementing a three-pronged strategy: first, working with academic institutions (universities, research centers, etc.) to provide ongoing training in the ethical aspects of the discipline in question to all personnel involved in scientific work (researchers, technicians, professors, students); second, designing strategies for constant, close supervision to guarantee that all scientific activities adhere to the applicable ethical standards; and, third, defining mechanisms to establish and then apply sanctions in the event of scientific malpractice, including the creation of organs entrusted with organizing and implementing these activities.
Legal Constraints on the Indeterminate Control of ‘Dangerous’ Sex Offenders in the Community: The German Perspective
Authors: Meier Bernd-Dieter

Legal Constraints on the Indeterminate Control of ‘Dangerous’ Sex Offenders in the Community: The German Perspective

After release from prison or a custodial preventive institution, offenders may come under supervision in Germany, which means that their conduct is controlled for a period of up to five years or even for life by a judicial supervising authority. Supervision is terminated if it can be expected that even in the absence of further supervision the released person will not commit any further offences. From the theoretical point of view, supervision is not considered a form of punishment in Germany, but a preventive measure that is guided by the principle of proportionality. After a presentation of the German twin track system of criminal sanctions and a glimpse at sentencing theory, the capacity of the principle of proportionality to guide and control judicial decisions in the field of preventive sanctions is discussed. The human rights perspective plays only a minor role in the context of supervision in Germany.

Sábanas blancas en mi balcón, negra mi condición: hacia una (re)evaluación de narrativas cubanas decimonónicas sobre género, «raza» y nación en las páginas de «Minerva»
Authors: Colón Pichardo Maikel
Published: June 2016

Este artículo examina algunas de las posturas defendidas por un grupo de mujeres negras y mulatas en la revista Minerva: revista quincenal dedicada a la mujer de color, en el ocaso del siglo XIX cubano. Las líneas principales del análisis pretenden confrontar las posiciones de reivindicación racial y de género planteadas por estas autoras. A partir de ahí, se abre un debate que interacciona con las ideologías de género y «raza» interpuestas por una férrea estructura patriarcal, y que aborda sus puntos de inflexión con el discurso nacionalista. También forman parte de la discusión el apego de estos discursos con algunos arquetipos tradicionales de los roles de género y las interpretaciones que sobre su legado se van desarrollando en el marco académico cubano contemporáneo.

Sending Mixed Signals: The Expanding Role of Molecular Cascade Mutations in Malformations of Cortical Development and Epilepsy
Authors: Iffland Philip H. , Crino Peter B.
Published: June 2016

Advances in gene sequencing techniques have led to a dramatic increase in the number of signaling cascade and cytoskeletal assembly mutations associated with malformations of cortical development and epilepsy. At the forefront of this research are novel mutations found in regulators of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR cascade and tubulin-associated malformations of cortical development. However, there is limited understanding of the consequences of these newly discovered germline and somatic mutations on cellular function or how these changes in cell biology may lead to areas—large or small—of malformed cortex and recurrent spontaneous seizures. We summarize and discuss what is currently known in this field in an effort to shine light on vast gaps in our knowledge of relatively common causes of cortical malformations.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, pela primeira vez, a eficácia antifúngica de suspensões de nanocápsulas e nanoemulsões contendo óleo essencial de Melaleuca alternifolia (TTO) segundo avaliação do perfil de inibição de crescimento in vitro de Candida albicans. Métodos e resultados: A atividade antimicrobiana das formulações foi verificada frente a C. albicans a fim de se obter um perfil de inibição do crescimento após 0, 5, 8, 12, 24, 48 e 72 horas, utilizando duas concentrações da levedura. A atividade do óleo associado às nanoestruturas na curva de crescimento da levedura demonstrou diferenças entre as formulações. Para menores concentrações do microrganismo, as formulações diminuíram significantemente a carga microbiana por 48 horas. Além disso, o controle do crescimento exercido pelas nanocápsulas permaneceu similar durante todos os períodos de análise. Conclusões: A associação do óleo de melaleuca em nanocápsulas poliméricas demonstrou ser mais eficiente em reduzir e controlar o crescimento de C. albicans por até 72 horas.

Uma Ontologia CIDOC-CRM para o Museu Virtual da Emigração
Authors: Martini Ricardo G. , Araújo Cristiana , Henriques Pedro Rangel
Published: June 2016

In this article we describe the use of the international standard for museum ontologies, CIDOC-CRM, to build a concrete ontology for ME, a virtual museum for the Emigration phenomena. Although the digital document repository is a conventional relational database, more abstract data models should be used to enable conceptual navigation over the information to help end-users (the museum visitors) to extract knowledge from the navigation (the visit). Thus, we will emphasize the design of a Reduced CRM-compatible form to describe the objects of our assets (people that emigrate in some moment to some other country), and the relations holding among them that better express the emigration movements. We also discuss the choice of RDF to expose the ontology triples via Apache Jena Fuseki server, a SPARQL end-point accessible over HTTP, and an engine (Jena ARQ) to query the RDF data. Finally, it was possible to transform these data into RDF and apply SPARQL queries, returning the desired results.
THE 2008-2009 EXCAVATIONS AT THE SAC LOCALITY, REBER-RAKIVAL LAPITA SITE, WATOM ISLAND, PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Authors: Petchey Peter , Buckley Hallie , Walter Richard , Anson Dimitri , Kinaston Rebecca
Published: June 2016

The Reber-Rakival site on Watom Island is of particular significance, as it is the first place where what is now known as Lapita pottery was found, by a German missionary in 1909. It is also significant as a Lapita-era burial site, although there has been much debate about the exact relationship between the burials and the Lapita occupation. In 2008 and 2009 an Otago University/Otago Museum/Papua New Guinea expedition carried out new excavations at the SAC site in Rakival Village, in order to increase the sample size of both burials and ceramics, and to address some of the ogoing debates. The expedition found more burials, Lapita ceramics and associated artefactual material, and while it confirmed the relationship between the burials and the Lapita occupation, it also found that previous excavations had not reached the base of the site, and evidence of human occuption was found up to 0.8m deeper than previously known. Based on this work, a refined stratigraphic sequence is presented, with 7 layers replacing the old 4 zone model that has been used to date. This paper presents the description and interpretation of the SAC locatily at Watom, and provides a basis for other more specialist papers that are in preparation.
Elevating the Film Review: Critics and Critical Practice at the Monthly Film Bulletin
Authors: MacDonald Richard Lowell
Published: June 2016

This article focuses on the Monthly Film Bulletin, a magazine devoted to what is often regarded as the lowliest and most ephemeral form of film criticism: the film review. Studying the Bulletins publication history, with a particular emphasis on the 1970s, the article challenges the dismissal of journalistically motivated film criticism in academic discourse. It argues that the historical interest of the Bulletins late period lies in its hybrid identity, a journal of record in which both accurate information and personal evaluation coexisted as values, and in which a polyphony of individual critical voices creatively worked through a routinised reviewing practice and a generic discursive format.
Chiropractic intern attitudes, beliefs, and future practice intentions with regard to health promotion, wellness, and preventive services
Authors: Grand Stephen , Morehouse-Grand Kenice , Carter Shane
Published: June 2016

Objective: This pilot study explored the attitudes, beliefs, and intentions of a group of chiropractic interns concerning health promotion, wellness, and preventive services before and after a series of brief educational interventions.

Methods: Interns completed a survey before (n = 37) and after (n = 22) the interventions. The survey included 12 Likert scale questions about attitudes and intentions toward wellness and health promotion models. The interventions consisted of classroom lectures, clinical training, and online information pertaining to health promotion and wellness.

Results: The interns initially favored wellness models, perceived a need for them, and felt partially prepared to administer them, with mean Likert scores 4 or greater on a 1 to 5 scale. Afterward, the average scores were higher and the interns reported some benefit from this short course of training.

Conclusion: The initial survey demonstrated that interns had some understanding of wellness, health promotion, and preventive services, and favored utilization of these services. The follow-up survey suggested that a short educational intervention could have a positive impact on these attitudes and future utilization of wellness procedures in their practices.
Effect of chaperone‐adhesin complex on plug release by the PapC usher
Authors: Pham Thieng , Werneburg Glenn T. , Henderson Nadine S. , Thanassi David G. , Delcour Anne H.
Published: June 2016

The P pilus of uropathogenic Escherichia coli is a multisubunit fiber assembled at the outer membrane in a defined sequence by a chaperone/usher secretion system, comprising a periplasmic chaperone and a beta‐barrel outer membrane protein, the PapC usher. To gain insight into the pilus biogenesis mechanism, we used patch clamp electrophysiology to investigate the effect of the initiating adhesin subunit, as it is delivered to PapC in a complex with the chaperone. We show that the chaperone‐adhesin complex facilitates opening of the PapC pore and appears to engage within the PapC lumen, in agreement with prior biochemical and structural data.
From urban to national heat island: The effect of anthropogenic heat output on climate change in high population industrial countries
Authors: Murray John , Heggie Douglas
Published: June 2016

The project presented here sought to determine whether changes in anthropogenic thermal emission can have a measurable effect on temperature at the national level, taking Japan and Great Britain as type examples. Using energy consumption as a proxy for thermal emission, strong correlations (mean r2 = 0.90 and 0.89, respectively) are found between national equivalent heat output (HO) and temperature above background levels Δt averaged over 5‐ to 8‐yr periods between 1965 and 2013, as opposed to weaker correlations for CMIP5 model temperatures above background levels Δmt (mean r2 = 0.52 and 0.10). It is clear that the fluctuations in Δt are better explained by energy consumption than by present climate models, and that energy consumption can contribute to climate change at the national level on these timescales.
The last 2 Myr of accretionary wedge construction in the central Hikurangi margin (North Island, New Zealand): Insights from structural modeling
Authors: Ghisetti Francesca C. , Barnes Philip M. , Ellis Susan , Plaza‐Faverola Andreia A. , Barker Daniel H. N.
Published: June 2016

Three depth‐converted and geologically interpreted seismic profiles provide a clear image of the offshore outer accretionary wedge associated with oblique subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the central Hikurangi margin. Plio‐Quaternary turbidites deposited over the pelagic cover sequence of the Hikurangi Plateau have been accreted to the margin by imbrication along E‐verging thrust faults that propagated up‐section from the plate boundary décollement. Growth stratigraphy of piggy‐back basins and thrusting of progressively younger horizons trace the eastward advance of the leading thrust front over ∼60 km in the last 2 Myr. Moderate internal shortening of fault‐bounded blocks typically 4–8 km wide reflects rapid creation of thrust faults, with some early formed faults undergoing out‐of‐sequence reactivation to maintain critical wedge taper. Multistage structural restorations show that forward progression of shortening involves: (1) initial development of a ∼10–25 km wide “proto‐thrust” zone, comprising conjugate sets of moderately to steeply dipping low‐displacement (∼10–100 m) reverse faults; and (2) growth of thrust faults that exploit some of the early proto‐thrust faults and propagate up‐section with progressive break‐through of folds localized above the fault tips. The youngest, still unbreached folds deform the present‐day seafloor. Progressive retro‐deformations show that macroscopic thrust faults and folds account for less than 50% of the margin‐perpendicular shortening imposed by plate convergence. Arguably, significant fractions of the missing components can be attributed to mesoscopic and microscopic scale layer‐parallel shortening within the wedge, in the proto‐thrust zones, and in the outer décollement zone.

Bottom‐simulating reflectors (BSRs) on marine seismic data are commonly used to identify the presence of natural gas hydrate in marine sediments, although the exact relationship between gas hydrate and BSRs is undefined. To clarify this relationship we compile a data set of probable gas hydrate occurrence as appraised from well logs of 788 industry wells in the northern Gulf of Mexico. We combine the well log data set with a data set of BSR distribution in the same area identified from 3‐D seismic data. We find that a BSR increases the chances of finding gas hydrate by 2.6 times as opposed to drilling outside a BSR and that the wells within a BSR also contain thicker and higher resistivity hydrate accumulations. Even so, over half of the wells drilled through BSRs have no detectable gas hydrate accumulations and gas hydrate occurrences and BSRs do not coincide in most cases.

This is Part 2 of a study of the near‐Earth heliospheric magnetic field strength, B, since 1750. Part 1 produced composite estimates of B from geomagnetic and sunspot data over the period 1750–2013. Sunspot‐based reconstructions can be extended back to 1610, but the paleocosmic ray (PCR) record is the only data set capable of providing a record of solar activity on millennial timescales. The process for converting 10Be concentrations measured in ice cores to B is more complex than with geomagnetic and sunspot data, and the uncertainties in B derived from cosmogenic nuclides (~20% for any individual year) are much larger. Within this level of uncertainty, we find reasonable overall agreement between PCR‐based B and the geomagnetic‐ and sunspot number‐based series. This agreement was enhanced by excising low values in PCR‐based B attributed to high‐energy solar proton events. Other discordant intervals, with as yet unspecified causes remain included in our analysis. Comparison of 3 year averages centered on sunspot minimum yields reasonable agreement between the three estimates, providing a means to investigate the long‐term changes in the heliospheric magnetic field into the past even without a means to remove solar proton events from the records.

Determining electron temperature in the ionosphere is a fundamentally important measurement for space science. Obtaining measurements of electron temperatures at high altitudes (>700 km) is difficult because of limitations on ground‐based radar and classic spacecraft instrumentation. In light of these limitations, the rocket‐borne Electron Retarding Potential Analyzer (ERPA) was developed to allow for accurate in situ measurement of ionospheric electron temperature with a simple and low‐resource instrument. The compact ERPA, a traditional retarding potential analyzer with multiple baffle collimators, allows for a straightforward calculation of electron temperature. Since its first mission in 2004, it has amassed significant flight heritage and obtained data used in multiple studies investigating a myriad of phenomena related to magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling. In addition to highlighting the scientific contributions of the ERPA instrument, this paper outlines its theory and operation, the methodology used to obtain electron temperature measurements, and a comparative study suggesting that the ERPA can also provide electron density measurements.

This study has proposed to use a well‐defined oligomer F4TBT4 to replace its analogue polymer as electron acceptor toward tuning the phase separation behavior and enhancing the photovoltaic performance of all‐polymer solar cells. It has been disclosed that the oligomer acceptor favors to construct pure and large‐scale phase separation in the polymer:oligomer blend film in contrast to the polymer:polymer blend film. This gets benefit from the well‐defined structure and short rigid conformation of the oligomer that endows it aggregation capability and avoids possible entanglement with the polymer donor chains. The charge recombination is to some extent suppressed and charge extraction is also improved. Finally, the P3HT:F4TBT4 solar cells not only output a high VOC above 1.2 V, but also achieve a power conversion efficiency of 4.12%, which is two times higher than the P3HT:PFTBT solar cells and is comparable to the P3HT:PCBM solar cells. The strategy of constructing optimum phase separation with oligomer to replace polymer opens up new prospect for the further improvement of the all‐polymer solar cells.

Polymer doping of solution‐processed In2O3 with small amounts of the electron‐rich polymer, polyethylenimine (PEI), affords superior transistor performance, including higher electron mobility than that of the pristine In2O3 matrix. PEI doping of In2O3 films not only frustrates crystallization and controls the carrier concentration but, more importantly, acts as electron dopant and/or scattering center depending on the polymer doping concentration. The electron donating capacity of PEI combined with charge trapping and variation in the matrix film microstructure yields, for optimum PEI doping concentrations of 1.0%–1.5%, electron mobilities as high as ≈9 cm2 V−1 s−1 on a 300 nm SiO2 gate dielectric, an excellent on/off ratio of ≈107, and an application optimal V
T. Importantly, these metrics exceed those of the pure In2O3 matrix with a maximum mobility ≈4 cm2 V−1 s−1. Furthermore, we show that this approach is extendible to other oxide compositions such as IZO and the technologically relevant IGZO. This work opens a new means to fabricate amorphous semiconductors via solution processing at low temperatures, while preserving or enhancing the mobility of the pristine polycrystalline semiconductor.

Jute fiber along with Al particle‐reinforced unsaturated polyester composites having different filler (Jute and Al) loading viz. 2, 5, 10, and 15 wt.% were fabricated by compression molding technique. In the present investigation, it was observed that with fillers incorporation, the microhardness increases and becomes optimum at 10 wt.% filler content followed by slight deterioration at 15 wt.%. Scanning electron microscopy confirms the dispersion of the fillers. An improvement of crystallinity with filler addition was observed from X‐ray diffraction pattern. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy pattern ensured the bonding between filler and matrix. Flexural and Izod impact tests show that the strength and modulus increase monotonically up to 10 wt.% filler addition followed by slight decreases at 15 wt.%. Thermogravimetric analysis and Differential Thermogravimetric analysis show that the thermal stability, degradation temperature, and residual mass significantly increase with fillers addition. The thermal insulation of the composites decreases, whereas the electrical conductivity of the composites increases with the addition of the filler. The water absorption at room and boiling temperature suggests swelling and deterioration in strength of the swelled composites.

With wearable electronics rapidly coming into fashion, research into flexible energy storage devices and in particular, pliable electrodes, is attracting a lot of attention. Pliable electrodes are usually fabricated by intercalating an active material in a flexible matrix with superior mechano‐electrical properties, and can be grouped either as substrate‐supported or free‐standing. Depending on their mode of deformation the electrodes can be labeled as bendable, compressible or stretchable. Recent progress and challenges in the design and fabrication of pliable electrodes for constructing flexible lithium ion batteries and flexible supercapacitors are highlighted. 2 pliable core‐shell structure electrodes fabricated from: a) carbon nanotube sponge embedded with MoS2 nanoparticles and b) electrospun polyethylene terephthalate fibers impregnated with graphene nanoplatelets are also presented.

Published: June 2016

Dynamic modeling of processes involving phase changes can be challenging due to changes in the model equations caused by appearance and disappearance of equilibrium phases. Dynamic simulation of these processes requires the ability to detect the change in the number of phases and adapt the model to the new phase regime on the fly. In this work, an easy‐to‐use nonsmooth model for dynamic simulation of processes with vapor‐liquid equilibrium is presented. The presented model does not introduce any auxiliary variables or equations, nor does it require solution of an optimization problem to determine the new phase regime during the dynamic simulation. It can therefore be used for comprehensive simulation of, e.g., distillation columns, where the number of phases present can change during startup and shutdown. The nonsmooth model is illustrated through examples of an evaporator and a distillation column. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 3334–3351, 2016
