Authors: Mejía Castillo Harin Joel
Published: June 2019

El presente estudio se centró en determinar las características agronómicas de producción de la morera como alternativa en la alimentación bovina. En donde se determinó la descripción de la planta, utilización, composición nutricional, manejo agronómico y rendimiento del cultivo. Se utilizó una revisión de bibliografía especialistas en el área bajo estudio. Encontrando que esta especie es un arbusto forraje originario de Asia, contiene de 15-28% de proteína bruta y 75 a 90% digestibilidad in vitro de la materia seca, es utilizada como alimento para el gusano de seda y de forraje para rumiantes; el rendimiento de forraje alcanza hasta las 40 ton/ha al año en materia fresca con un 25% de materia seca. La implementación de la morera en la alimentación bovina es económico, rentable y sostenible, debido a que no es necesario para el productor suplir alimento con concentrado ya que este eleva los costos de producción en carne o leche.

REIT-Specific and Macroeconomic Determinants of REIT Returns: Evidence from Singapore
Authors: Arora Parvinder , Killins Robert , Gangineni Prameela
Published: June 2019

We examine the determinants of REIT returns in a highly developed trade-oriented market economy - Singapore. For the period from 2004 to 2013, we conduct panel data analyses on the impacts of REIT characteristics and macroeconomic factors on the returns of Singapore Real Estate Investment Trusts (S-REITs). Our results indicate that the returns of S-REITs are affected by the book-to-market value but not earnings per share, the debt-to-equity ratio, or the dividend yield. From the macroeconomic perspective, both local and international economic conditions, including the gross domestic product, inflation rate, exchange rate, and money supply are significantly related to the returns of S-REITs, indicating that the market of S-REITs is an imperfectly integrated one.

Published: June 2019

Infestations of Dichelops melacanthus (Dallas; Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in corn and wheat in Brazil, and the subsequent damage, have increased in recent years, mainly owing to this insect’s ability to survive the off-season. The control of this insect is mainly carried out with chemical insecticides, but the development of alternative methods, such as biological control, can contribute to a more sustainable management. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) for the control of D. melacanthus. A selection test was performed with 15 isolates of genera Steinernema and Heterorhabditis regarding their pathogenicity and virulence on adults of D. melacanthus. Concentration (10, 20, 40, 50, and 100 infective juveniles (IJs)/cm2) and greenhouse tests were carried out only with the Steinernema feltiae isolate (IBCB-n 47). All experiments were conducted in a completely randomized design. The selection test data were submitted to the Scott-Knott averages test (P ? 0.05), and those from the greenhouse test to the Student's t-test. The results of the concentration assay were subjected to regression analysis. All isolates showed pathogenicity and virulence in adults of D. melacanthus. The isolates GL (Heterorhabditis amazonensis), IBCB-n27 (Steinernema sp.), and RSC05 (H. amazonensis) were the most virulent (80.0, 82.0, and 88.0% mortality, respectively). The higher concentrations of S. feltiae (50 and 100 IJs/cm²) were responsible for the highest mortality rates of green belly stink bug (88.0 and 86.0%, respectively). In the greenhouse test, S. feltiae caused higher mortality (38%) than the control.

Published: June 2019

The Brazilian Northeast region provides favorable conditions for the exploitation of several crops, but the high salt concentration in irrigation water constitutes a limiting factor for production in most cases. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the emergence, growth and partition of photoassimilates in soursop seedlings, cv. ‘Morada Nova’, subjected to irrigation with water of increasing salinity levels and to exogenous application of hydrogen peroxide. The study was carried out in plastic bags under greenhouse conditions, using a sandy loam Regolithic Neosol, in the municipality of Campina Grande, PB, Brazil. Treatments were distributed in randomized blocks, in a 5 x 5 factorial arrangement, relative to five levels of irrigation water electrical conductivity - ECw (0.7, 1.4, 2.1, 2.8 and 3.5 dS m-1) and five concentrations of hydrogen peroxide - H2O2 (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 µM), with four replicates and three plants per plot. Increasing salt concentration compromised all variables analyzed and leaf area was most sensitive. As irrigation water electrical conductivity increased, the deleterious effects of water salinity on the emergence percentage, emergence speed index, stem diameter and leaf area were attenuated by the exogenous application of hydrogen peroxide, with highest efficiency at the concentration of 50 µM. Hydrogen peroxide concentrations above 38 µM inhibited the specific leaf area of soursop, cv. ‘Morada Nova’.

The objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of leptospirosis and the predominant serogroups in serological tests of ruminants performed at the Transmissible Diseases Laboratory of the Federal University of Campina Grande, Patos, Paraíba, northeastern Brazil, between 2010 and 2017. This research included the records of serological tests for leptospirosis from 5594 animals, including 1527 cattle, 1761 goats, 2170 sheep, and 136 buffaloes from four Brazilian states (Paraíba, Pernambuco, Maranhão, and Rio Grande do Norte). Of the 5594 serum samples, 662 were serologically positive, corresponding to a frequency of 11.8%. Serjoe (30.6%), Autumnalis (13.6%), and Icterohaemorrhagiae (11.3%) were the most frequent subgroups among all species. The individual frequencies in cattle, goats, sheep, and buffaloes were 20% (306/1527), 8.3% (147/1761), 7.9% (171/2170), and 27.9% (38/136), respectively, with titers ranging from 1:100 to 1:3200. The most frequent serogroups according to animal species were as follows: Serjoe predominated in cattle (62%), followed by Icterohaemorrhagiae (12.5%) and Tarassovi (6.6%); Autumnalis was the most frequent in goats and sheep (29.4% and 26.9%, respectively), followed by Seramanga (12.5%) in goats and Icterohaemmorrhagiae (13.5%) in sheep; and Australis predominated in buffaloes (39.5%), followed by Pomona (31.6%) and Canicola (21.1%). Leptospira sp. infection, determined by serology, is widespread in ruminants (cattle, goats, sheep, and buffaloes) in northeastern Brazil, suggesting the existence of alternative transmission routes that are less dependent on environmental factors. Identification of the most frequent serogroups highlights the need to improve sanitary conditions, and implement efficient and targeted control measures directed at the primary infection sources.

The present study aimed evaluate possible modifications of thermoregulatory morphophysiological responses of Morada Nova sheep throughout the year in 4 properties of the nucleus of participatory genetic breeding. In the months of March, June, September and December, respiratory rate (RR), rectal temperatures (RT) and surface (ST) were recorded as well as the environmental variables air temperature (airT), relative humidity (RH) wind (Ws). Calculated the radiant heat load (RHL) and the Black Globe Humidity Index (BGHI). The coat thickness was measured and hair samples were collected and determined hair density, hair length and hair diameter. Blood collection was collected for determination of T3 and total T4 concentrations. In the rainy season, which includes the months of March and June, higher values of RR and RT, probably due to the combination of high RH, associated to RHL, BGHI and airT were recorded, as these hamper loss and heat. All values of RT independent of month and flocks remained within values considered normal for the species. September and December are inserted in the dry season, with a low RH factor that can facilitate heat loss through evaporation. In these months, lower values of RT and RR were observed when compared to the rainy season, lower values of RR were recorded between 40 and 60 mov.min-1 . The secretion of thyroid hormones was greater in the environmental conditions considered more comfortable. The homeothermia was maintained by Morada Nova sheep at different times evaluated as indicated by the normal physiological parameters. The rainy season was considered the most stressful for the animals, since they used a more intense set of variables in order to thermoregulate and maintain the homeothermia, which justifies the importance of providing shelters, with the objective of reducing the overheating, even in view of their great adaptive capacity, already demonstrated in previous studies. Changes in the coat characteristics were observed during all the months of the year, assisting for either physical protection or heat dissipation and could therefore be indicated as a thermotolerance phenotypic marker with the potential to be used as selection criteria in breeding programs and conservation of resistant animals to heat.

Abstract: Were evaluated the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of fresh and aged semimembranosus muscle from 40 uncastrated male Ile de France lambs with 17.15 ± 1.56 kg of initial body weight. Treatments involved fresh and meat aged for 14 days at 4 ºC from lambs receiving four diets, as follows: control; PM - diet with 20% peanut meal replacing soybean meal; G - diet with 25% glycerin replacing corn; and PMG - diet with 10% peanut meal and 12.5% glycerin. The forage:concentrate ratio was 40:60, and corn silage was used as roughage. The diets had similar values of crude protein and metabolizable energy (17.47% and 2.72 Mcal kg/dry matter). A completely randomized design was adopted in a 4×2 factorial arrangement (four diets × fresh and aged meat). Diets and aging did not favor the development of microorganisms in the meat. There was an interaction effect between diets and aging for pH, color, cooking weight loss (CL), and shear force (SF). The fresh meat from animals fed G was lighter compared with the meat from those consuming PM and PMG (lightness of 38.45, 36.26 and 37.88 respectively). Aging increased lightness (37.63 to 40.87), red intensity (15.12 to 15.93), yellow intensity (2.48 to 3.42) and CL (23.84 to 32.59%), reduced pH (5.66 to 5.45), water holding capacity (61.85 to 58.87%) and SF (22.60 to 16.95 N). By-products from biodiesel and peanut production can be used to replace corn and soybean meal in diets for lambs without compromising their meat quality.

Sugarcane is a strategic roughage source for milk production in the tropics, and its supplementation with plant oils offers great potential for obtaining milk enriched with beneficial fatty acids, such as oleic (cis-9 C18:1), vaccenic (trans-11 C18:1), and rumenic (cis-9, trans-11 CLA) acids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the milk fatty acid composition of cows fed 60% chopped sugarcane-based diets containing citrus pulp and 0.0% (control), 1.5%, 3.0% and 4.5% sunflower oil on a dry matter basis. Twelve multiparous Holstein x Gyr dairy cows with an average milk production of 17±5 kg day-1 and 96±25 days in milk were allocated in a triplicate 4 x 4 Latin square design. There was no effect of dietary treatment on milk production, but sunflower oil supplementation linearly reduced the milk fat content and yield. The milk fat contents of lauric (C12:0), myristic (C14:0), and palmitic (C16:0) fatty acids were linearly reduced with increasing sunflower oil levels. There was a quadratic effect on the milk fat oleic, vaccenic, and rumenic acid contents, while the concentrations of elaidic acid (trans-9 C18:1), trans-10 C18:1 and trans-10, cis-12 CLA linearly increased in response to sunflower oil inclusion. Diet supplementation with sunflower oil linearly reduced both the atherogenicity and thrombogenicity indices and linearly increased the ratio between hypo- and hypercholesterolemic fatty acids in milk fat. The inclusion of up to 4.5% sunflower oil in 60% chopped sugarcane-based diets improved the nutritional quality of milk fat from Holstein x Gyr dairy cows as a result of the increased content of oleic, rumenic and vaccenic acids, which are beneficial to human health, and the concomitant reduction of hypercholesterolemic lauric, myristic and palmitic acids. However, there was an increase in the milk content of trans-10 C18:1 and elaidic acid, which are associated with deleterious effects on cardiovascular health.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is expanding in the Brazilian territory. Dogs are considered an important urban reservoir; however, studies have demonstrated the presence of infected cats in some Brazilian states. This report aimed to describe a case of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum infection in a two-month-old domestic feline from a Brazilian region with a high incidence of human visceral leishmaniasis. The analyzed samples were the cat’s blood, conjunctiva, spleen, liver, popliteal, submandibular and mesenteric lymph nodes, skin, lung and kidney. The diagnostic methods were: parasitological examination, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and an immunoflurescence antibody test (IFAT). All tissues were positive. The title obtained using the IFAT was 1:160. The animal was negative for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV). This work addresses the first case of feline leishmaniasis in the state of Tocantins, and reveals data that may contribute to the knowledge of the disease, since it has been shown to be able to develop rapidly and fatally in kittens, with the ability to infect several tissues.
Strategies for Increasing the Biohydrogen Yield in Anaerobic Fermentation of Xylose
Authors: Silva Franknairy G. , Ferreira-Leitao Viridiana S. , Cammarota Magali C.
Published: June 2019

The pretreatment of lignocellulosic materials to obtain cellulose generates a residual stream with hemicellulosic composition, mainly containing xylose. This C5 fraction is not directly fermentable by microorganisms traditionally used to produce ethanol. Hence, more promising alternatives for the C5 fraction have been studied, and acidogenic fermentation proves to be an attractive option for the production of biohydrogen, due to the possibility of using hemicellulose fractions and mixed anaerobic cultures. To reduce the activity of hydrogen-consuming microorganisms when mixed cultures are employed as inoculum to produce hydrogen by anaerobic fermentation, thermal pretreatment was selected. However, such pretreatment method also affects the activity of hydrogen-producing acidogenic bacteria, and strategies should be studied to enrich the inoculum for these bacteria and to increase hydrogen yields. Thus, this study evaluated the effect of some strategies on the biohydrogen production from xylose. The strategies adopted were thermal pretreatment of the sludge, maintenance of the incubation temperature at 35 °C, adaptation of the sludge by successive contacts with the xylose solution, and increasing inoculum to substrate ratio (I/S) from 1 to 2. This approach improved hydrogen yield approximately 30 times, from 0.03 to 0.93 mmol H2/mmol xylose. However, this yield was only 56% of the theoretical value and can still be improved.

New ring-trisubstituted propyl cyanophenylpropenoates, RPhCH=C(CN)CO2C3H7 (where R is 2-bromo-3-hydroxy-4-methoxy, 5-bromo-2,3-dimethoxy, 5-bromo-2,4-dimethoxy, 6-bromo-3,4-dimethoxy, 2-chloro-3,4-dimetoxy, 5-chloro-2,3-dimetoxy, 4-bromo-2,6-difluoro, 3-chloro-2,6-difluoro, 4-chloro-2,6-difluoro) were prepared by the piperidine catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of ring-trisubstituted benzaldehydes and propyl cyanoacetate and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C-NMR. The propenoates formed copolymers with styrene in solution with radical initiation (ABCN) at 70°C. The copolymers were characterized by nitrogen elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C-NMR, DSC. Decomposition of the copolymers in nitrogen (TGA) occurred in two steps, first in the 200-500ºC range with residue (4.2 -8.1% wt.), which then decomposed in the 500-800ºC range.

Published: June 2019

This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro growth and biochemical activity of Curcuma longa explants using different MS medium formulations and growth regulators. In all the experiments, plants were grown in MS medium supplemented with agar (6.5 g L-1) and pH adjusted to 5.8. In the first assay, the MS culture medium at 70% strength, supplemented with 30 g L-1 of sucrose, and without the addition of activated carbon, resulted in the highest number of shoots. The sucrose concentration of 60 g L-1, combined with the addition of actived charcoalin half-strength MS medium, resulted in the increased root dry mass, root collar diameter, and relative chlorophyll index. In the second assay, the highest root collar diameter and dry matter of shoots and roots were found in the MS medium supplemented with 4.44 BAP, 0.46 KIN, and 1.08 NAA. The MS medium with 8.88 BAP, 0.92 KIN, and 2.16 μM NAA resulted in the highest number of shoots (7.75), number of leaves (35), and shoot length (88.57 mm). The antioxidant activity was significantly higher in the treatments that resulted in better plantlets growth performance, demonstrating that the antioxidant activity is related to other factors such as a possible role of growth regulators on the elicitation of compounds in plants. Superoxide dismutase had a high enzymatic activity in both assays, whereas the enzymatic activity of catalase and ascorbate peroxidase was dependent on the culture media used.
Do Online Shoppers Attend Farmers’ Markets?
Authors: Gumirakiza Jean D. , Schroering Mara E.
Published: June 2019

Online shopping is changing ways in which offline markets operate. As the online shopping for fresh produce takes off, it is important to investigate its effects on existing physical market outlets. The main objective for this study is to explain how often online shoppers attend farmers’ markets. The study uses data that was collected in 2016 from a sample of 1,205 consumers residing in the south region of the United States who made at least two online purchases within six months prior to participating in this study. This study employed a multinomial Logit model and Stata was used to run the regression. Results show that the majority of these online shoppers never attended a farmers’ market. The relative probabilities for the online shoppers to “never” attend farmers’ markets, attend “occasionally”, and “frequently” are 0.54, 0.28, and 0.18 respectively. We found that the lack of awareness, inconvenient place and/or time, and low interests are major reasons for nonattendance. This study suggests that farmers’ markets could greatly benefit by developing marketing strategies targeting online shoppers.

The Rule of Law and Legitimacy in Emerging Illiberal Democracies
Authors: Sajó András , Tuovinen Juha
Published: June 2019

The current legal changes in Eastern and Central Europe leading to illiberal regimes are raising fundamental questions about the nature of the legitimacy of these regimes. While constitutional democracies rely on legitimacy originating from the observance of the rule of law, the rule of law is challenged in countries like Hungary, Poland and progeny. This article analyses, in particular, the lack of clear standards in illiberal regimes, especially where the cultural traits that underlie and animate the rule of law, in particular fairness, are not part of the “folklore”. It then thoroughly outlines the transformation of the judiciary in an illiberal state, followed by an analysis of the demise of the rule of law beyond the attack on the judiciary, and the use of legality in an illiberal state. The article concludes that governments, while relying on certain aspects of the rule of law in protecting their own position and their own assets, nevertheless do not see value in following the rules of reason and fairness for the reasons that the rule of law is valued. They rather see it as a smoke screen for their activities that may justify them to some, and hide them from others.
Umkämpfte Externalisierung. Zur Dynamik der Diskussionen über regionale ›Ausschiffungszentren‹ und ihrer Folgen für die europäische und globale Flüchtlingspolitik
Authors: Engler Marcus
Published: June 2019

Die EU und ihre Mitgliedstaaten bemühen sich um eine weitere Externalisierung der Migrations- und Flüchtlingspolitik. In der öffentlichen und zum Teil auch in der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion verstellt die, wenngleich nachvollziehbare, Kritik daran häufig den Blick für eine genauere Analyse der komplexen Zusammenhänge. So wird häufig impliziert, die EU habe derart viel Macht, dass sie ihre migrationspolitischen Ziele relativ einfach anderen Staaten aufzwingen könne. Dabei werden die Handlungsmöglichkeiten, Wahrnehmungen und Interessen von Transitstaaten übersehen. Zugleich erscheint die EU als ein homogener Block, weshalb unterschiedliche politische Ziele verschiedener europäischer Akteure vernachlässigt werden. Zudem werden die Auswirkungen von Grenzschutz und Externalisierung häufig eindimensional beschrieben. In diesem Beitrag sollen Komplexität und Dynamik politischer Aushandlungsprozesse für den Fall der Diskussion um die sogenannten ›Ausschiffungszentren‹ rekonstruiert werden.
Aristotelian Imagination and Decaying Sense
Authors: Humphreys Justin ,   Zeta Books
Published: June 2019

Aristotelian imagination is widely understood as a psychological power by which retained perceptual states recur in consciousness. According to this view, imagination is decaying sense, a part of the psyche that is parasitic on perceptual acts for its content. This paper disputes this reading and provides an alternative account of Aristotle’s concept of imagination. I argue that Aristotelian imagination is a power of the psyche that is both productive like intellect, and presentational like perception. Unlike perception and intellect, however, imagination does not correctly discriminate among beings, and thus cannot be relied upon to give one knowledge of the world. When one accepts this alternative conception of Aristotelian imagination, it becomes clear how it can take on the peculiar epistemic function of allowing a particular serve as the vehicle of a universal thought. This paper argues that Aristotle’s explanation of valid judgments in geometry depends on the imagination to allow the perception of a particular diagram to give rise to the intellectual grasp of a general proposition.
Is Make-Believe Only Reproduction?
Authors: Summa Michela ,   Zeta Books
Published: June 2019

This paper develops an analysis of the relation between fiction and make-believe based on the achievements of imagination. The argument aims at a “reciprocal supplementation” between two approaches to fiction. According to one approach, pretense or make-believe structures play a crucial role in our experience of fiction. Discussing Husserl’s view on bound imagining and Walton’s account of fiction as make-believe, I show why pretense and make-believe cannot thereby be reduced to the mere reproduction of something we would experience as original. According to the other approach, which is presented in Ricoeur’s work on imagination, fiction exemplifies a productive or creative power of imagination that is not active in pretense or make-believe activities. The reciprocal supplementation between these two approaches concerns the following aspects: on the one hand, I wish show why Husserl and Walton allow us to rectify Ricoeur’s claim that make-believe is only reproductive. On the other hand, taking up some of Ricoeur’s insights, I wish to clarify why such an impact should be understood in terms of transformation.

O objetivo do artigo é analisar a variação do rendimento médio do trabalho no Brasil entre os anos de 2005 e 2009 para diferentes setores da economia e níveis de qualificação. Para tanto, emprega-se a metodologia da decomposição estrutural, a partir dos dados coletados nas tabelas de insumo-produto e dos dados socioeconômicos para a economia brasileira presentes no World Input-Output Database. Os resultados encontrados revelam um aumento do rendimento médio real em 25,79% no período analisado. Dentro do fator tecnológico, o efeito de maior impacto foi o efeito intensidade, cujo comportamento foi instável entre os diferentes setores, gerando, em média, benefícios maiores entre os trabalhadores de menor qualificação. Na análise do fator de alteração da demanda final, o efeito preponderante foi o efeito volume da demanda final, que beneficiou de forma homogênea o rendimento do trabalho, seja para diferentes setores da economia, seja para diferentes níveis qualificação do trabalho.

Com o decorrer dos anos, o conceito de pobreza evoluiu da perspectiva da subsistência - que relaciona pobreza com o mínimo necessário para sobrevivência - para as necessidades básicas - que promove questões vinculadas ao atendimento de serviços como educação e saúde e para a concepção da privação relativa - que incorporou o contexto socioeconômico e o padrão de vida da sociedade em questão. Na concepção da abordagem das capacitações, que entende a privação como falta de realização de determinados funcionamentos e capacitações, entende-se pobreza como um fenômeno multidimensional. Da mesma forma, os métodos de medição de pobreza também evoluíram das linhas de pobreza para medidas como: headcount index, poverty gap index, squared poverty gap index e Sen index, Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH), Índice de Pobreza Humana (IPH) e Índice de Pobreza Multidimensional (IPM) que é baseado no método Alkire-Foster (2009). O objetivo desse estudo é aplicar o método Alkire-Foster (2009) para os municípios de Santa Catarina nos anos de 2000 e 2010. Alguns resultados revelam que a pobreza multidimensional tem diminuído no estado: a incidência de pobreza multidimensional diminuiu de 26,66% em 2000 para 15,07% em 2010.

O foco principal deste estudo é verificar como os cemitérios podem contribuir diretamente com a poluição ambiental, sendo estas fontes potenciais de contaminação, onde, para alcançar este objetivo, foram utilizadas pesquisas bibliográficas como recursos metodológicos, realizadas a partir da análise de materiais já publicados na literatura científica. Através desta análise, pode-se verificar que as práticas das atividades cemiteriais podem ser consideradas de grande influência para a poluição ambiental. O estudo demonstra que estas práticas resultam em poluição ambiental inicialmente do meio externo (como os lixos compostos por objetos dos entes queridos), além de poluição do solo (como o depósito de metais pesados), da água (como a poluição hídrica advinda do necrochorume) e do ar (como a liberação de gases malcheirosos), que muitas vezes poderiam ser evitados com a aplicação de estudos geológicos e hidrogeológicos aprofundados da área cemiterial. Pode-se verificar, ainda, que a sociedade apenas iniciou o processo de entendimento, quanto aos problemas ambientais, mas ainda não se tem uma visão mais clara quanto aos impactos causados por cemitérios, onde, para que isto ocorra, é imprescindível que a população demonstre interesse, para que somente assim o assunto venha a clarear a visão da sociedade com vistas à atividade cemiterial.

Specification tests for thin surface treatment are mainly simulated or empirical; without considering fundamental mechanical or rheological properties of the material. Thus, it is difficult to incorporate the test results into mechanical-based pavement design analysis. A series of test methods, which quantify performance-related mechanical properties of thin surface treatment employed in pavement maintenance and pavement preservation is thus needed. The objective of this study is to investigate the performance-related mechanical properties of thin surface treatment materials for pavement maintenance and preservation. The Micro-Surfacing Mat and Precast Rubber Asphalt Mat were used in this study. The Finite Element Model result indicated that the Modified Leutner Shear Test adequate to evaluate the direct shear strength of the thin surface treatment. The results show that the sensitivity loading frequency and the temperature susceptibility of the Precast Rubber Asphalt Mat were reduced by Rubber Modified Asphalt content. The Precast Rubber Asphalt Mat has greater interfacial shear strength as well as shear stiffness compared to those of Micro-Surfacing Mat. The tack coat application rate is crucial for the interfacial shear strength of Precast Rubber Asphalt Mat. This research found that shear stress and the displacement rate are positively related to the interfacial shear strength and shear stiffness. The interfacial shear strength and shear stiffness are negatively related to testing temperature. The Micro-Surfacing Mat had higher dynamic direct shear modulus, lower loading frequency sensitivity, and better rutting resistance than Precast Rubber Asphalt Mat.

Published: June 2019

Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans are developed in Europe rapidly. The future initiative is expected will change the image of European cities and will make transport systems efficacious, thus reducing congestion, decreasing air pollution, and offering alternative options for travelling. The impact of the measures being implemented needs to be monitored regularly to evaluate the effect of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans, and progress in accomplishing the objectives and specific aims of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans are assessed. Infrastructure measures often require considerable investment, and therefore, their rational use expected to create immense benefit to the public. This article analyses various European models for monitoring and evaluating Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. The models are structured, proposing an assessment methodology for Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans. Assistance provided by the experts and the use of evaluation models for the analytic hierarchy process assists in identifying the significance of the monitoring indicators that allow assessing the priority orders and the importance of implementing mobility measures.

Published: June 2019

This paper continues the previous study on clarifying the time-dependent behaviour of Beipanjiang Bridge ‒ a reinforced concrete arch bridge with concrete-filled steel tubular stiffened skeleton. The obtained prediction models and the Finite Element Models were used to simulate the long-term behaviour and stress redistribution of the concrete arch bridge. Three-dimensional beam elements simulated the stiffened skeleton and surrounding concrete. Then, a parameters study was carried out to analyse the time-dependent behaviour of the arch bridge influenced by different concrete creep and shrinkage models. The simulation results demonstrate that concrete creep and shrinkage have a significant influence on the time-dependent behaviour of the concrete arch bridge. After the bridge completion, the Comite Euro-International du Beton mean deviation of displacements obtained by 1990 CEBFIP Model Code: Design Code model and fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model are 3.4%, 31.9% larger than the results predicted by the modified fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model. The stresses between the steel and the concrete redistribute with time because of the concrete long-term effect. The steel will yield if the fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model is used in the analysis. The stresses in a different part of the surrounding concrete are non-uniformly distributed.

The paper presents the proposition of special assessment of low temperature requirements for bitumens in the region of Central and Eastern Europe where there is a moderate transitional area from sea to the continental type of climate. The results of the research program conducted on the road neat bitumens, Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene polymer and polymer-rubber modified bitumen, and multigrade bitumen types were presented and discussed. Based on the Superior Performing Asphalt Pavements Performance Grade procedure for low temperatures, climatic zones in Poland were developed and compared to analogous zones for other countries from the Central and Eastern Europe region as Estonia and Belarus. The results of functional Performance Grade tests and European standard test of bituminous binders were analysed. It was concluded that some of the bitumens were not meet the performance requirements in the range of low temperatures by Superior Performing Asphalt Pavements Superpave specification and the low-temperature properties of those bitumens should be improved.
Analysis of Deck Slab of Reinforced Concrete Gerber-Girder Bridge Widened by Addition of Continuous Steel-Concrete Composite Girders
Authors: Siekierski Wojciech
Published: June 2019

Many Gerber-girder bridges have become obsolete in terms of deck width and load carrying capacity. If bridge replacement is not necessary, additional girders are installed. Sometimes, due to erection convenience, the added girders do not replicate the static scheme of the refurbished structure. Such an arrangement requires special attention to preserve structural durability. An example of the inappropriate arrangement of the widening of a Reinforced Concrete Gerber-girder road bridge is presented together with an alternative concept of refurbishment based on the addition of the continuous steel-concrete girders as the outermost ones. The added deck slab connects the added and the existing parts of the structure. Attention is drawn the static analysis of the added deck slab and the influence of the added outermost girders that do not replicate the static scheme of the existing ones. Due to different static schemes of the existing and the added girders, the traditional method of the deck slab analysis is inappropriate. The Finite Element 3D model is to be applied to access bending moments in the deck slab spans correctly. It is shown that: a) the analysis of the distribution of the bending moments in the existing and the added slab spans, especially near Gerber-hinges, should be based on the Finite Element 3D modelling; b) the analysis should consider live loads acting on the whole width of the Gerber-hinge span; c) the bending moment distribution in the widened deck slab is sensitive to the distance to the Gerber hinge.

Morphogenesis of hierarchical vascular networks depends on the integration of multiple biomechanical signals by endothelial cells, the cells lining the interior of blood vessels. Expansion of vascular networks arises through sprouting angiogenesis, a process involving extensive cell rearrangements and collective cell migration. Yet, the mechanisms controlling angiogenic collective behavior remain poorly understood. Here, we show this collective cell behavior is regulated by non-canonical Wnt signaling. We identify that Wnt5a specifically activates Cdc42 at cell junctions downstream of ROR2 to reinforce coupling between adherens junctions and the actin cytoskeleton. We show that Wnt5a signaling stabilizes vinculin binding to alpha-catenin, and abrogation of vinculin in vivo and in vitro leads to uncoordinated polarity and deficient sprouting angiogenesis in Mus musculus. Our findings highlight how non-canonical Wnt signaling coordinates collective cell behavior during vascular morphogenesis by fine-tuning junctional mechanocoupling between endothelial cells.
Shared neural underpinnings of multisensory integration and trial-by-trial perceptual recalibration in humans
Authors: Park Hame , Kayser Christoph
Published: June 2019

Perception adapts to mismatching multisensory information, both when different cues appear simultaneously and when they appear sequentially. While both multisensory integration and adaptive trial-by-trial recalibration are central for behavior, it remains unknown whether they are mechanistically linked and arise from a common neural substrate. To relate the neural underpinnings of sensory integration and recalibration, we measured whole-brain magnetoencephalography while human participants performed an audio-visual ventriloquist task. Using single-trial multivariate analysis, we localized the perceptually-relevant encoding of multisensory information within and between trials. While we found neural signatures of multisensory integration within temporal and parietal regions, only medial superior parietal activity encoded past and current sensory information and mediated the perceptual recalibration within and between trials. These results highlight a common neural substrate of sensory integration and perceptual recalibration, and reveal a role of medial parietal regions in linking present and previous multisensory evidence to guide adaptive behavior.
