Published: February 2020

AbstractWireless sensor network (WSN) can effectively help us monitor the surrounding environment and prevent the occurrence of some natural disasters earlier, but we can only get the information of the surrounding environment correctly if we know the locations of nodes. How to know the exact positions of nodes is a strict challenge in WSN. Intelligent computing algorithms have been developed in recent years. They easily solve complex optimization problems, especially for those that cannot be modeled mathematically. This paper proposes a novel algorithm, named parallel whale optimization algorithm (PWOA). It contains two information exchange strategies between groups, and it significantly enhances global search ability and population diversity of the original whale optimization algorithm (WOA). Also, the algorithm is adopted to optimize the localization of WSN. Twenty-three mathematical optimization functions are accustomed to verifying the efficiency and effectiveness of the novel approach. Compared with some existing intelligent computing algorithms, the proposed PWOA may reach better results.

Abstract
During conservation treatment, consolidants and deacidifying agents can be added to the canvas of a painting to mechanically stabilise it and counteract the acidity that promotes degradation. In this study, new stabilising consolidants and deacidifying agents based on different nanoparticles (silica, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, cellulose nanofibrils and cellulose nanocrystals) were tested in comparison to traditionally used products. These products were applied onto different types of canvasses, and colour, gloss and pH changes were analysed. Conservators’ subjective perceptions on the ease of application and the final visual results of the products were also assessed. Specifically, conservators were asked to examine the drying time and the ease of use of the products, as well as any changes in stiffness, darkening or whitening caused by the products on the canvasses. The best products were the ones based on calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide and cellulose nanocrystals. Cellulose nanofibrils are also promising consolidants because they are highly compatible with the chemical nature of painting canvasses.
A simple characterization methodology for the identification of the visco-elastic behavior of thermoset adhesives during cure

Published: February 2020

AbstractThe identification of the mechanical behavior of adhesives is necessary to describe the development of residual stresses during their curing, which might impact their mechanical strength and lead to early failure of the bonding. A simple characterization and modeling approach is therefore developed and presented, which permits to monitor and identify the mechanical behavior of a thermosetting adhesive during the whole curing process. The test method is based on a compressive test, which consists in applying a periodic displacement and recording the subsequent load variations during cure. The test set-up relies on a simple apparatus as it consists in steel cylinders mounted on a standard tensile test machine. The analysis of the mechanical behavior is based on an analytical description of a visco-elastic constitutive law following the Maxwell model, leading to the identification of the material apparent viscosity and Young’s modulus. This characterization methodology is applied to an epoxy adhesive during cure. The obtained mechanical properties are in good agreement with values provided by the material supplier, which permits to validate the developed methodology.

Abstract
Background
Killian-Jamieson diverticulum is a rare pharyngoesophageal diverticulum. The risk of intraoperative injury of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is high during surgical resection of Killian-Jamieson diverticulum because the RLN usually runs next to the base of the diverticulum. We present a case of Killian-Jamieson diverticulum that was safely resected with effective use of an intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) system with a handheld stimulating probe to prevent RLN injury.

Case presentation
A 69-year-old man complaining of dysphagia was diagnosed with Killian-Jamieson diverticulum and underwent open transcervical diverticulectomy. Because the anterior aspect of the diverticulum was expected to be close to the RLN, the accurate location of the RLN was checked during dissection by intermittent stimulation using a handheld probe of the IONM system to avoid mechanical and thermal injury. The diverticulum was transected longitudinally using a linear stapler, and the staple line was buried using absorbable sutures from the distal end. During its closure, RLN was identified very close to the diverticulum stump by IONM, and the upper side of the stump was left unburied to avoid RLN injury. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 7. Postoperative evaluation showed no vocal cord paralysis.

Conclusion
IONM may be beneficial during open surgery for Killian-Jamieson diverticulum, which usually protrudes just lateral to the RLN.
GAPDH spike RNA as an alternative for housekeeping genes in relative gene expression assay using real-time PCR
Authors: Atwan Zeenah Weheed 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Background and aim of study
qPCR is a robust technique which quantifies the expressions of target genes in relation to reference genes. Stresses such as virus infection or heat shock change expressions of many cellular genes including the reference genes, so the aim was to introduce a constant calibrator to normalize the data to.

Methodology
Constructed glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) plasmid was transcribed to GAPDH RNA and used as spike RNA. Spiked RNA samples were subjected to qPCR at different conditions such as virus infection, IFN treatment, or mild heat shock.

The results
Adenovirus hexon in interferon-deficient cells showed different expression levels when data were normalized to GAPDH or 18S. Consistently, hexon expression levels were different in untreated cells under the control or heat-shocked conditions when data were normalized to GAPDH or 18S. Promyelocytic leukemia protein II (PML-II) expression level was lower in HeLa-PML-II-deficient cells (PML-II-Kd) compared to the control when the data were normalized to GAPDH as a reference gene and also in GAPDH RNA spiked, which showed reasonable consistency. More consistent data were obtained when the GAPDH normalizer was added before the step of treating the extracted RNA with DNase compared to add it after the treatment or directly to the qPCR reaction.

Conclusion
The internal controls that were chosen for this study completely changed the experimental results since they were affected with the experimental conditions. However, GAPDH spike RNA level was stable in its amplification at different kinds of stresses. So it can be an alternative for housekeeping gene due to its stability at these different conditions.

Published: February 2020

AbstractGlobally, the challenges of the oil and gas industry are unique due to the nature of its operations that is full of risks. Issues like volatile market prices, health and safety, environmental performance and high cost of production are affecting the operational performance of the sector. These problems if left unchecked could change the level of production and revenue generation to the Malaysian government and would as well influence the country’s regional position in oil and gas production. As a result, many oil and gas firms including PETRONAS adopted operational excellence strategy, but some of the challenges kept re-occurring. It is against this circumstance that this research is aimed at determining the effect of enterprise risk management determinants on operational excellence in the Malaysian oil and gas industry. It is also aimed at exploring the mediating effect of enterprise risk management implementation on such a relationship. The article used a conceptual approach where journal articles, conference papers, professional reports, thesis and term papers were reviewed. Conceptual and theoretical frameworks were proposed in this paper, and literature was reviewed to lay a foundation for empirical research that would establish the relationship between the postulated variables in the study. Dimensions and measurement of the variables in the current study were drawn from earlier researches and recommendations. However, data were not collected, and a result of the analysis was not presented in the paper.

Assessment of body composition is of particular importance to active athletes, in determining the optimal body mass, especially in controlling the effect of the training process. The purpose of this paper is the confirmation of the goal between active athletes and passive athletes in bodily constituents using the bioelectrical resistance method (BIA). This research has included 50 athletes of 4 complex poly structural sports and 50 passive athletes (former athletes) of these sports; the sample has included a total of 100 tested athletes. The sample of variables from the "TANITA" apparatus (as a bioelectric resistance method (BIA)) is consisted of 10 variables. The basic statistical and asymmetric parameters were applied for the processing of results as well as T-test analysis for independent groups. The results of this research show that significant statistical differences have been earned in the arithmetic averages between active athletes and passive athlete to most of the variables of bodily constituents, especially in adipose tissue variables p <0.01. According to the results of this research, it is recommended to use the same method in order to compare the body composition to athletes of various sports.

Published: February 2020

The optoelectronic properties of image sensors, among which are the photosensitivity and resolution, are key to the quality factors for imaging as well as spectrometry in Earth observation and scientific space exploration missions. Microlens arrays (MLAs) further improve state-of-the-art CMOS image sensors (CIS) by redirecting more photons into the photosensitive surface/volume of each pixel. This paper reports the design, deposition, optical characterization, and reliability assessment of such an MLA made from a UV-curable hybrid polymer and replicated on a packaged back-illuminated CIS having a pixel pitch of 15.5 µm. We find that such MLAs are highly stable to temperature variations, exposure to humidity, mechanical shocks and vibrations, as well as irradiation by gamma rays, while improving the parasitic light sensitivity by a factor of 1.8. Such MLAs can be applied on a large variety of image sensors, back-illuminated but mostly front-illuminated, with pixel pitches ranging from a few to several hundreds of micrometers, making them suitable for most specifications of the space industry.

We present two prescriptions for broadband (

), millimeter-wave antireflection
coatings for cryogenic, sintered polycrystalline aluminum oxide
optics: one for large-format (700 mm diameter) planar and plano–convex
elements, the other for densely packed arrays of quasi-optical
elements—in our case, 5 mm diameter half-spheres (called “lenslets”).
The coatings comprise three layers of commercially available,
polytetrafluoroethylene-based, dielectric sheet material. The lenslet
coating is molded to fit the 150 mm diameter arrays directly, while
the large-diameter lenses are coated using a tiled approach. We review
the fabrication processes for both prescriptions, then discuss
laboratory measurements of their transmittance and reflectance. In
addition, we present the inferred refractive indices and loss tangents
for the coating materials and the aluminum oxide substrate. We find
that at 150 GHz and 300 K the large-format coating sample achieves

transmittance, and the lenslet
coating sample achieves

transmittance.

Published: February 2020

Dual-beam transformation systems (dual BTSs) are used to obtain a wide wavelength-locking range for high-power large-smile diode-laser arrays. The collimating residual divergence angle can be reduced from 9 mrad to less than 6.5 mrad using a set of two angled BTSs that are located in front of a diode-laser array with about a 2 µm smile. Due to the reduced collimating residual divergence angle, the external cavity with a set of two angled BTSs and a volume Bragg grating achieved a wide wavelength-locking range for temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C. In addition, the side-mode suppression ratio exceeds 30 dB.
Quantifying bio-filament morphology below the diffraction limit of an optical microscope using out-of-focus images
Authors: Anthonisen Madeleine , Zhang Yuning , Hussain Sangji M. , Grütter Peter 
Published: February 2020

A method to measure the dimensions of objects below the optical diffraction limit using diffraction analysis of out-of-focus bright-field images is presented. The method relies on the comparison of the diffraction patterns of an object of unknown size to those of calibration objects of known size. Correlative scanning electron microscope measurements are used to demonstrate the applicability of this method to measure 100 nm microbeads as well as objects with a geometry different from the calibration objects. This technique is important in the context of tethered particle experiments, in which bio-filaments are bound between a substrate and a microbead. This procedure is applied to obtain the diameters of axonal extensions or neurites that are mechanically created in samples of rat hippocampal neurons. The dependence of neurite geometry on mechanical pull speed is investigated, and the diameter is found to be rate independent.
Mobbing among healthcare workers: A review of research findings and methods of struggling
Authors: Aydın Sayılan Aylin , Aydın Aykut 
Published: February 2020

Healthcare institutions are organizations with a complex structure where there is a high work stress and it is of utmost importance that services are provided without errors in this complexity.
Nowadays, when the hospital management becomes increasingly complex, hospital managers are in a position that influences the success of the hospitals the most. While this situation necessitates the managers to use their time in a more rational and efficient manner, giving a senseless workload to the managers would surely negatively affect the individual and organizational productivity (Karsavuran, 2014).
In other words, exposure of the healthcare professionals to mobbing in the professional life causes depressive symptoms to arise, this situation leading to the individual negatively evaluating the quality of his life. As a result, decrease in the job satisfaction of the individual, low performance and reluctance towards the job occur (Yavuzer and Civilidag, 2014).
Therefore, it is proposed to clarify the arrangements that prevent managers from applying psychological abuse to their subordinates when determining the superior-subordinate relationships (Yıldız et al., 2013).
In this study the titles will include definition of mobbing in health sector, results of mobbing.
Situated incidental vocabulary acquisition: The effects of in-class and out-of-class novel reading
Authors: Reynolds Barry Lee 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Researchers investigating the incidental acquisition of vocabulary through reading have often required participants to read in controlled classroom or lab environments. This method delimits reading to short texts read in one sitting and fashions an anomalous reading context (i. e. not mimicking ecologically valid extensive reading situations). To investigate whether the physical reading context affects incidental vocabulary acquisition, an empirical study was conducted with two groups of participants that read the same 36,711-token novel containing 49 target words – in-class readers (n = 48) and out-of-class readers (n = 32). Results showed reading context has a large effect on vocabulary recall and a medium effect on vocabulary recognition. Medium correlations were found between incidental acquisition and reading context as well as second language (L2) vocabulary size. Two standard three-explanatory-variable (L2 vocabulary size, reading context, reading time) multiple regressions accounted for 40% of the variance in vocabulary recall and 44.5% of the variance in vocabulary recognition. Nuanced distinctions between in-class and out-of-class readers were uncovered by analyzing responses to open-ended reflective questionnaire items about the study, novel, target vocabulary, and vocabulary learning strategies. A lens of criticality was used to discuss the findings in terms of their pedagogical and methodological implications.
Acquisitions for Sleep
Authors: Norbäck Pehr-Johan , Olofsson Charlotta , Persson Lars 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Within the policy debate, there is a fear that large incumbent firms buy small firms’ inventions to ensure that they are not used in the market. We show that such “acquisitions for sleep” can occur if and only if the quality of a process invention is small; otherwise, the entry profit will be higher than the entry-deterring value. We then show that the incentive for acquiring for the purpose of putting a patent to sleep decreases when the intellectual property law is stricter because the profit for the entrant then increases more than the entry-deterring value does.
Fiat Money as a Public Signal, Medium of Exchange, and Punishment
Authors: Gomis-Porqueras Pedro , Sun Ching-Jen 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThis paper studies different welfare-enhancing roles that fiat money can have. To do so, we consider an indivisible monetary framework where agents are randomly and bilaterally matched, while the government has weak enforcement powers. Within this environment, we analyze state contingent monetary policies and characterize the resulting equilibria under different government record-keeping technologies. We show that a threat of injecting fiat money, conditional on private actions, can improve allocations and achieve efficiency. This type of state contingent policy is effective even when the government cannot observe any private trades and agents can only communicate with the government through cheap talk. In all these equilibria fiat money and self-enforcing credit are complements in the off equilibrium. Finally, this type of equilibria can also emerge even when the injection of fiat money is not a public signal.
Presuppositions as pragmemes: The case of exemplification acts
Authors: Capone Alessandro 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThis paper is an example of how contextual information interacts with the interpretation of noun phrases (NPs) in discourse. When we encounter an NP escorted by the definite article or a proper name, the expectation is triggered that the speaker is referring to some referent x that the hearer can normally identify. Strawson and Russell have agreed that a referent must be associated with a definite description so that the assertion containing it can be said to be true. In the case where a description does not refer to anything, the assertion is considered by Russell to be false, while Strawson says that the issue of truth or falsity does not arise. In this paper, we examine a case in which contextual information interacts with the interpretation of NPs in discourse and the hearer is not expected to identify a referent when hearing a proper name. In this case, the issue of truth or falsity does not arise, because the hearer does not identify the referent. In fact, s/he does not intend for the discourse to about a referent at all. These situations are primarily represented by sentences uttered during the course of a grammar lecture, in which the lecturer is explaining a rule of language and does not focus on external reality. The hearers are aware of this focus and do not process the NP (in general a proper name) to identify a specific referent. This discourse is of three types, which will be discussed at the end of this paper.
Genre Expectations and the Superscriptions of LXX Isaiah
Authors: de Sousa Rodrigo Franklin 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This article examines the translations of the superscriptions in LXX Isa 1:1, 2:1, and 13:1. The analysis reveals some attempts to bring the three superscriptions into closer formal alignment, and one significant deviation that breaks this pattern. These apparently contradictory procedures seem to result from the translator’s attempt to conform with certain expectations regarding the genre of prophetic texts.
