Published: December 2019

Abstract
The Pasuruan fault is one of active faults in East-Java with the minimum estimated earthquake magnitude to be 6.6 Mw. Although the Pasuruan fault is relatively small in term of estimated earthquake magnitude, because the area is highly populated, earthquake along the fault could pose a significant hazard to the densely populated region and infrastructure. This study mainly focuses on site characteristics of along the Pasuruan fault based on microtremor Horizontal-to-Vertical spectral ratios (HVSR) as a part of the seismic hazard assessment. Through this measurement, the output the site natural frequency, the amplification and the soil vulnerability maps which will be used to make an urban seismic hazard map for along Pasuruan fault. The microtremor measurements were carried out at 48 locations to investigate the natural frequencies and the amplifications at sites. The results showed that the natural frequency (f0) values range from 1 Hz to 10 Hz and the amplification factor (A0) values range from 2 to 8. Correlations between the natural frequency with the geological formation and topographic were established. Variations of both parameters are also indicated as a result of variations in surface soil parameters. The vulnerability index (Kg) is indicated the soil damage level due to ground motions. The weak zone failed during an earthquake on the Southwest site was identified by the highest Kg value.

Abstract
Indonesia is a country rich in minerals. Limestone is one of the non-metallic mineral industry is very large potential and spread almost throughout the territory of Indonesia. Tuban regency is one of the regencies located on the north coast of Java Island, precisely in East Java. As an area located in the northern part of East Java basin and is possible as a potential area of various mineral resources, one of them is limestone or limestone rock. The potential of limestone in Tuban Regency is very possible to be managed and processed to become an industry. Moreover, there are still many sources of limestone that have not been explored, With technological advances in the field of sensory, calculation of limestone potential estimation can be done by using remote sensing data and geographic information system. Remote sensing data used is Landsat 8 satellite image data reinforced with satellite data data of extremely high resolution Quickbird. This study aims to determine the potential of limestone rock in Tuban Regency. Parameters used for the identification of limestone potential in this study were 4, ie land cover, surface temperature, vegetation index, and geological elements. The result of this research is potential map of limestone of Tuban Regency which is divided into 5 classes namely very low potency, low potency, medium potency, high potential, and very high potential. From data processing resulted in Tuban Regency dominated by medium potency level with wide of 56483.70 hectare while for level of potency tinngi and very high have wide 33074.12 hectare and 31336.82 hectare.

Abstract
The high level of erosion that occur in Musi river basin has improved a tremendous impact on sedimentation in downstream areas and has resulted in many infrastructure of water is disturbed, such as silting of irrigation channels, siltation of rivers which disrupt the flow of transport stream and increasing the risk of flooding, high sedimentation in the port basin, low quality of water and the rising costs of water treatment. This study utilizes techniques terrain models Digital (Digital Elevation Model/DEM) to analysis the spatial distribution of the potential for erosion and sources of sedimentation, as well as the direction of the flow of sediment into channels as well as its relationship with outlet in branching river as the supplies to be sediment to the river flow. The method used in this study using a spatial model analysis with the help of GIS in analysing and presenting the level of erosion and deposition by utilizing modelling slope and kinetic energy of rainfall to estimate the index erosivity and distribution pattern of sediment into the river channel. This research was conducted at the upper Lematang river sub basin with area 412,638 Ha, which are classified into 11 sub-chatments with the highest altitude is 3.159 m above sea level (Dempo Valley) and the lowest is 126 m above sea level (Talang tinggi Valley). Analytical results have been tested by taking a fine sediment sampling in each sub-watershed in the analysis and is taken along the channel network and compare the observed patterns with the results predicted by the model analysis of soil erosion. Overall, erosion by high intensity tends to occur in the relationship between the different vegetation coverage, the barren land and open land used for farms and land used for mining. Approximately 45-65.5% slope bad condition because the vegetation has been open, so it can be seen the amount of erosion in the area is 2.139 ton/ha/year, at the sloping is 1.8239 ton / ha / year

Published: December 2019

Abstract
There were two fairly destructive earthquake phenomena in 2018 of M 6.4 and M 7 at East Lombok District. However, severe damage occurred in the West Lombok District, Mataram City, and North Lombok District where the three locations were far from the earthquake epicenter. This proves that the potential for infrastructure damage does not only depend on the magnitude and the earthquake source distance, but rather the presence of local site effects. This study aims to determine the dynamic characteristics of the soil and the distribution of Peak Surface Acceleration (PSA). The method used are HVSR analysis (Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio) and inversion of Rayleigh wave ellipticity curve from single station microtremor measurements. The results showed that West Lombok Regency, Mataram City, and the western part of North Lombok Regency were dominated by sedimentary layers which were softly and included in the SD (stiff soil / soft soil) site category. These regions are soil deformation vulnerable due to the earthquake. Based on PSA distribution, the southern part of Lombok Island and Mataram City have a relatively high PSA value. The high value of PSA has the potential to cause ground shaking hazard that are strong enough when an earthquake occurs. This research is expected to be a reference for the design of spectra response to minimize damage of building infrastructure at various levels due to earthquake events.

Abstract
This paper introduces some studies developed regarding the Greco-Roman Museum at Alexandria, in Egypt. The heritage building was built by Dietriche and Steinon and had 11 halls were completed in 1895 and opened by Khedive Abbas Helmy II. The museum embodies many elements of the Italian Renaissance, including the columns, the entablature, and the pediment, as well as a staircase of white marble in the front façade, follows the Doric order. The museum was surveyed using terrestrial laser scanning to produce a model with high detail level translated into a Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) prototype. The Scan-to-Building Information Modelling (BIM) approach was obtained with a generation of semantics and components proper of Dietriche and Steinon’s architectural grammar, first of all defining the object, then geometry, and then their parameterization. This method of modelling the Museum’s main facade, used to better understand the architectural composition of the volumes, producing particular hypothesis on its form according to the architectural patterns books, to understand the restrictions of the method and the perception of a research that goes from a digital survey to the HBIM model.
A review of processing of Cu/C base plate composites for interfacial control and improved properties

Published: December 2019

Abstract
The increase in both power and packing densities in power electronic devices has led to an increase in the market demand for effective heat-dissipating materials with a high thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient compatible with chip materials while still ensuring the reliability of the power modules. Metal matrix composites, especially copper matrix composites, containing carbon fibers, carbon nanofibers, or diamond are considered very promising as the next generation of thermal-management materials in power electronic packages. These composites exhibit enhanced thermal properties, as compared to pure copper, combined with lower density. This paper presents powder metallurgy and hot uniaxial pressing fabrication techniques for copper/carbon composite materials which promise to be efficient heat-dissipation materials for power electronic modules. Thermal analyses clearly indicate that interfacial treatments are required in these composites to achieve high thermal and thermomechanical properties. Control of interfaces (through a novel reinforcement surface treatment, the addition of a carbide-forming element inside the copper powders, and processing methods), when selected carefully and processed properly, will form the right chemical/mechanical bonding between copper and carbon, enhancing all of the desired thermal and thermomechanical properties while minimizing the deleterious effects. This paper outlines a variety of methods and interfacial materials that achieve these goals.
Understanding the delayed expression of Al resistance in signal grass (Urochloa decumbens)
Authors: Li Zhigen , Wehr J Bernhard , Wang Peng , Menzies Neal W , Kopittke Peter M 
Published: December 2019

Abstract

Background and Aims
Signal grass (Urochloa decumbens) is a widely used pasture grass in tropical and sub-tropical areas due to its high aluminiun (Al) resistance. However, the underlying mechanisms conferring this resistance are not clearly understood.

Methods
The Al concentrations of bulk root tissues and the intracellular compartment were examined, including the impact of a metabolic inhibitor, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP). Next, we examined changes in the properties of signal grass root tissues following exposure to toxic levels of Al, including the cell wall cation exchange capacity (CEC), degree of methylation and concentrations of cell wall fractions.

Key Results
Although signal grass was highly resistant to Al, there was a delay of 24–48 h before the expression of this resistance. We found that this delay in the expression of Al resistance was not related to the total Al concentration in the bulk apical root tissues, nor was it related to changes in the Al bound to the cell wall. We also examined changes in other properties of the cell wall, including the CEC, degree of methylation and changes in the concentration of pectin, hemicellulose and cellulose. We noted that concentrations of intracellular Al decreased by approx. 50 % at the same time that the root elongation rate improved after 24–48 h. Using CCCP as a metabolic inhibitor, we found that the intracellular Al concentration increased approx. 14-fold and that the CCCP prevented the subsequent decrease in intracellular Al.

Conclusions
Our results indicate that the delayed expression of Al resistance was not associated with the Al concentration in the bulk apical root tissues or bound to the cell wall, nor was it associated with changes in other properties of the cell wall. Rather, signal grass has an energy-dependent Al exclusion mechanism, and this mechanism requires 24–48 h to exclude Al from the intracellular compartment.
Beyond the group: how food, mates, and group size influence intergroup encounters in wild bonobos

Published: December 2019

AbstractIn social-living animals, interactions between groups are frequently agonistic, but they can also be tolerant and even cooperative. Intergroup tolerance and cooperation are regarded as a crucial step in the formation of highly structured multilevel societies. Behavioral ecological theory suggests that intergroup tolerance and cooperation can emerge either when the costs of hostility outweigh the benefits of exclusive resource access or when both groups gain fitness benefits through their interactions. However, the factors promoting intergroup tolerance are still unclear due to the paucity of data on intergroup interactions in tolerant species. Here, we examine how social and ecological factors affect the onset and termination of intercommunity encounters in two neighboring communities of wild bonobos, a species exhibiting flexible patterns of intergroup interactions, at Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve, Democratic Republic of the Congo. We recorded the timing and location of intercommunity encounters and measured fruit abundance and distribution, groups’ social characteristics, and space-use dynamics over a 19-month period. We found that intercommunity tolerance was facilitated by a decrease in feeding competition, with high fruit abundance increasing the likelihood of communities to encounter, and high clumpiness of fruit patches increasing the probability to terminate encounters likely due to increased contest. In addition, the possibility for extra-community mating, as well as the potential benefits of more efficient foraging in less familiar areas, reduced the probability that the communities terminated encounters. By investigating the factors involved in shaping relationships across groups, this study contributes to our understanding of how animal sociality can extend beyond the group level.
Using deep learning to associate human genes with age-related diseases
Authors: Fabris Fabio , Palmer Daniel , Salama Khalid M , de Magalhães João Pedro , Freitas Alex A 
Published: December 2019

Abstract

Motivation
One way to identify genes possibly associated with ageing is to build a classification model (from the machine learning field) capable of classifying genes as associated with multiple age-related diseases. To build this model, we use a pre-compiled list of human genes associated with age-related diseases and apply a novel Deep Neural Network (DNN) method to find associations between gene descriptors (e.g. Gene Ontology terms, protein–protein interaction data and biological pathway information) and age-related diseases.

Results
The novelty of our new DNN method is its modular architecture, which has the capability of combining several sources of biological data to predict which ageing-related diseases a gene is associated with (if any). Our DNN method achieves better predictive performance than standard DNN approaches, a Gradient Boosted Tree classifier (a strong baseline method) and a Logistic Regression classifier. Given the DNN model produced by our method, we use two approaches to identify human genes that are not known to be associated with age-related diseases according to our dataset. First, we investigate genes that are close to other disease-associated genes in a complex multi-dimensional feature space learned by the DNN algorithm. Second, using the class label probabilities output by our DNN approach, we identify genes with a high probability of being associated with age-related diseases according to the model. We provide evidence of these putative associations retrieved from the DNN model with literature support.

Authors: Hojat Leila S , Bessesen Mary T , Huang Misha , Reid Margaret , Knepper Bryan C , Miller Matthew A , Shihadeh Katherine C , Fugit Randolph V , Jenkins Timothy C 
Published: December 2019

Abstract

Background
National guidelines for pneumonia (PNA), urinary tract infection (UTI), and acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) do not address treatment duration for infections associated with bacteremia. We evaluated clinical outcomes of patients receiving shorter (5–9 days) versus longer (10–15 days) duration of antibiotics.

Methods
This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study of inpatients with uncomplicated PNA, UTI, or ABSSSI and associated bacteremia. The primary outcome was clinical failure, a composite of rehospitalization, reinitiation of antibiotics, or all-cause mortality within 30 days of antibiotic completion. Secondary outcomes included individual components of the primary outcome, Clostridioides difficile infection, and antibiotic-related adverse effects necessitating change in therapy. A propensity score-weighted logistic regression model was used to mitigate potential bias associated with nonrandom assignment of treatment duration.

Results
Of 408 patients included, 123 received a shorter treatment duration (median 8 days) and 285 received a longer duration (median 13 days). In the propensity-weighted analysis, the probability of the primary outcome was 13.5% in the shorter group and 11.1% in the longer group (average treatment effect, 2.4%; odds ratio [OR], 1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], .65–2.40; P = .505). However, shorter courses were associated with higher probability of restarting antibiotics (OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.01–2.61; P = .046) and C. difficile infection (OR, 4.01; 95% CI, 2.21–7.59; P &lt; .0001).

Conclusions
Shorter courses of antibiotic treatment for PNA, UTI, and ABSSSI with bacteremia were not associated with increased overall risk of clinical failure; however, prospective studies are needed to further evaluate the effectiveness of shorter treatment durations.
Early modern receptions of Iphigenia at Aulis
Authors: Miola Robert S 
Published: December 2019

AbstractThe sacrifice of Iphigenia, appearing influentially in Euripides’ Iphigenia at Aulis, assumes various forms in early modern translation, reading, and adaptation. Early modern receptions variously constrict, domesticate, Romanize, and Christianize the story. Publication in Latin, especially in Erasmus’ translation (1506) transposes Greek linguistic and cultural referents to later hermeneutics, rendering mysterious ancient elements into familiar Roman analogues — Stoic ideals, fortuna, prudentia, and the like. Caspar Stiblin’s Latin translation (1562) and Gabriel Harvey’s copious marginalia in his copy of Erasmus’ translation show that constriction and domestication often take the form of fragmentation of the text into sententiae, or wise sayings. The search for rhetorical figures, political maxims, or moral lessons generates many Christian applications and culminates in Buchanan’s biblical reworking of Iphigenia’s story in Jephthes, wherein Artemis gives way to the Judaeo-Christian god and Iphigenia, here Iphis, becomes a type of Christ. The Vernacular Adaptations of Jane Lumley, Jean Racine, and Abel Boyer continue to dismantle the heroic ethos of Euripides play and re-imagine the story: Achilles dwindles into a romantic lead, Agamemnon, into a vicious ruler and father, and Iphigenia becomes a pious and submissive daughter.

Existence of Cocompact Lattices in Lie Groups With a Bi-invariant Metric of Index 2
Authors: Kath Ines 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
We study the existence of cocompact lattices in Lie groups with bi-invariant metric of signature $(2,n-2)$. We assume in addition that the Lie groups under consideration are simply-connected, indecomposable, and solvable. Then their centre is one- or two-dimensional. In both cases, a parametrisation of the set of such Lie groups is known. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a lattice in terms of these parameters. For groups with one-dimensional centre this problem is related to Salem numbers.
