Literatura teológica do Período Intertestamentário: os livros deuterocanônicos
Authors: De Jesus Moraes Nirio 
Published: August 2020

Este artigo trata dos livros deuterocanônicos, que surgiram no Período Intertestamentário, ou seja, o intervalo transcorrido entre o último livro do Antigo Testamento, o do profeta Malaquias, e o primeiro livro do Novo Testamento, o Evangelho segundo Mateus. A Bíblia hebraica não os acolheu, apenas a Septuaginta e a Vulgata, razão pela qual a literatura cristã dos primeiros séculos faz numerosas referências a eles. Tais livros revelam detalhes históricos e aspectos teológicos importantes da época em que foram produzidos. Por conseguinte, os livros deuterocanônicos, objeto deste estudo, devem ser tomados em consideração quando se intenta reconstituir a história de Israel nos séculos que antecederam o nascimento de Jesus. Palavras-chave: Período Intertestamentário. Livros deuterocanônicos. Septuaginta. Vulgata.

Abstract
The Andean plateau is a small region of South America extending between northwest Argentina, southwest Bolivia, and northern Chile. It concentrates the largest global resources of lithium brines in its numerous salars. Of these, the giant salars in Bolivia and Chile have been relatively well studied; however, only little is known about the smaller but numerous salars in the Argentine Puna region. In this article, we present the results of the first regional-scale reconnaissance exploration of the 12 major salars situated in the southern part of the Puna plateau (24°S–26°30’S). Hydrochemical data indicate that the shallowest brines are characterized by highly variable Li concentrations, with mean Li grades ranging between 57 and 570 mg L−1, and mean Li/Mg ratios from 0.01 to 1.24. A survey of the brine chemistry of the salars across the Puna plateau, including its northern part, has revealed the absence of a geographical pattern in Li+ grade distribution. However, a comparison among mean Li+ grades, Li+/Mg2+ ratios, and the sizes of all salars allows an estimation of their Li mining potential. Specifically, the salt pan of Arizaro represents the highest potential, mainly due to its size; Antofalla-Botijuelas has a large surface and promising Li/Mg ratios for Li recovery via brine evaporation, though its elongated shape is a constraint; and Pastos Grandes, Pozuelos, and Rincón have encouraging Li grades, interesting salar sizes, and relatively easy access. Olaroz, Cauchari, and Hombre Muerto contain the highest Li+ grades in brines of the Argentine Puna and embody the most interesting perspectives of the Argentine plateau in a regional context. Salar sizes could be related to maximum Li+ grade of brines. Larger salars would then be expected to contain brines with higher Li+ grades than smaller ones, which could be considered as a useful criterion for surveys of brine-type deposits.
Portraits d’écrivains en séries. La généricité composite des monographies illustrées de poche
Authors: Martens David 
Published: August 2020

Les ouvrages publiés dans les collections de monographies illustrées reprennent et adaptent la formule initiée par « Poètes d’aujourd’hui », rapidement reprise par « Écrivains de toujours », et consistant à agencer un essai critique, un choix de textes et des images. Partant de certains documents d’archives qui témoignent d’une forme d’incertitude quant au genre dont relèveraient ces ouvrages, cet article s’interroge sur la généricité particulière de ces agencements de textes et d’images ressortant de genres distincts. S’ils diffèrent, sur un plan formel aussi bien que s’agissant des modalités du façonnement de l’image de l’auteur auquel ils contribuent, les textes mis en oeuvre participent d’une entreprise portraiturale qui régit en sous-main les volumes de ces collections de même que leur constitution globale.
Recent Progress on Polymer Materials for Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Tan Lisa Jiaying , Zhu Wei , Zhou Kun 
Published: August 2020

AbstractAdditive manufacturing (AM) is the process of printing 3D objects in a layer‐by‐layer manner. Polymers and their composites are some of the most widely used materials in modern industries and are of great interest in the field of AM due to their vast potential for various applications, especially in the medical, aerospace, and automotive industries. Many studies have been conducted to develop new polymer materials for AM techniques, which include vat photopolymerization, material jetting, powder bed fusion, material extrusion, binder jetting, and sheet lamination. Although several reviews on the development of polymer materials for AM have been published, most of them only focus on a specific application, process, or type of material. Therefore, this article serves to provide a comprehensive review on the progress in polymer material development for AM techniques. It begins with an introduction to different AM techniques, followed by highlighting the progress of their development. Material requirements, notable advances in newly developed materials and their potential applications are discussed in detail and summarized. This review concludes by identifying the major challenges currently encountered in using AM for polymer materials and providing insights into the valuable opportunities it presents, in hopes of spurring further development in this field.

AbstractPotassium‐ion battery (PIB) using a carbon‐based anode is an ideal device for electrochemical energy storage. However, the large atomic size of potassium ions inevitably leads to huge volume expansion and the collapse of anodes, resulting in the severe capacity fading during the long‐term cycling. Herein, silicon carbide‐derived carbon (SiC‐CDC) with a controllable pore structure is synthesized with a concise etching approach. It exhibits a maximum capacity of 284.8 mA h g−1 at a current density of 0.1 A g−1 after 200 cycles as well as a highly reversible capacity of 197.3 mA h g−1 at a current density of 1.0 A g−1 even after 1000 cycles. A mixed mechanism of the potassium storage is proposed for this prominent performance. The interconnected pore structure with a high proportion of mesopore volume provides abundant active sites for the adsorption of potassium ions, a shortened electrolyte penetration path, and enlarged accumulation space for potassium ions, eventually leading to facilitated capacitive potassium storage inside this SiC‐CDC electrode. This work provides fundamental theories of designing pore structures for boosting capacitive potassium storage and unveils CDC‐based materials as the prospective anodes for high‐performance PIBs.

Published: August 2020

AbstractThe low efficiency homing of nanomaterials in tumors remains a major challenge in nanomedicine. Inspired by the apoptosis targeting properties of phosphatidylserine (PS), a self‐amplified apoptosis targeting nanoplatform (MNPs‐ZnDPA/β‐Lap) is fabricated combining Zn0.4Co0.6Fe2O4@Zn0.4Mn0.6Fe2O4 nanoparticles (MNPs) with an excellent magnetic hyperthermia effect, a chemotherapeutic drug of β‐lapachone (β‐Lap) with the promotion of cell apoptosis, and the good apoptosis targeting moiety of Zn(II)‐bis(dipicolylamine) (bis‐ZnDPA) for PS. In an apoptotic 4T1 xenograft model, MNPs‐ZnDPA/β‐Lap can first accumulate in tumors by the EPR effect. The released β‐Lap triggers the apoptosis of cancer cells in the tumor and increases the apoptotic target, which results in amplifying their apoptosis targeting properties. This self‐amplified apoptosis targeting efficiency of MNPs‐ZnDPA/β‐Lap almost inhibits the growth of tumors with the synergistic magnetic–thermal/chemo therapy, which can offer a significant promise for targeting cancer theranostics.

AbstractLaser interaction with solids is routinely used for functionalizing materials' surfaces. In most cases, the generation of patterns/structures is the key feature to endow materials with specific properties like hardening, superhydrophobicity, plasmonic color‐enhancement, or dedicated functions like anti‐counterfeiting tags. A way to generate random patterns, by means of generation of wrinkles on surfaces resulting from laser melting of amorphous Ge‐based chalcogenide thin films, is presented. These patterns, similar to fingerprints, are modulations of the surface height by a few tens of nanometers with a sub‐micrometer periodicity. It is shown that the patterns' spatial frequency depends on the melted layer thickness, which can be tuned by varying the impinging laser fluence. The randomness of these patterns makes them an excellent candidate for the generation of physical unclonable function tags (PUF‐tags) for anti‐counterfeiting applications. Two specific ways are tested to identify the obtained PUF‐tag: cross‐correlation procedure or using a neural network. In both cases, it is demonstrated that the PUF‐tag can be compared to a reference image (PUF‐key) and identified with a high recognition ratio on most real application conditions. This paves the way to straightforward non‐deterministic PUF‐tag generation dedicated to small sensitive parts such as, for example, electronic devices/components, jewelry, or watchmak.

Published: August 2020

AbstractThe dramatic rise of data‐intensive workloads has revived application‐specific computational hardware for continuing speed and power improvements, frequently achieved by limiting data movement and implementing “in‐memory computation”. However, conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit designs can still suffer low power efficiency, motivating designs leveraging nonvolatile resistive random access memory (ReRAM), and with many studies focusing on crossbar circuit architectures. Another circuit primitive—content addressable memory (CAM)—shows great promise for mapping a diverse range of computational models for in‐memory computation, with recent ReRAM–CAM designs proposed but few experimentally demonstrated. Here, programming and control of memristors across an 86 × 12 memristor ternary CAM (TCAM) array integrated with CMOS are demonstrated, and parameter tradeoffs for optimizing speed and search margin are evaluated. In addition to smaller area, this memristor TCAM results in significantly lower power due to very low programmable conductance states, motivating CAM use in a wider range of computational applications than conventional TCAMs are confined to today. Finally, the first experimental demonstration of two computational models in memristor TCAM arrays is reported: regular expression matching in a finite state machine for network security intrusion detection and definable inexact pattern matching in a Levenshtein automata for genomic sequencing.

Published: August 2020

AbstractWith the development of the Internet of Things (IoTs), widely distributed electronics in the environment require effective in situ energy harvesting technologies, which is made challenging by the unstable supply and severe conditions in some environments. In this work, a hybrid all‐in‐one power source (AoPS) is demonstrated for widely adaptive environmental energy harvesting. With a novel structure, the AoPS hybridizes high‐performance spherical triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with solar cells, enabling the harvesting of most typical environmental energies from wind, rain drops, and sun light, for complementary supply. The spherical TENG units with a packaged structure can work robustly to collect energy from fluid. Nearly continuous direct current and a high average power of 5.63 mW can be obtained by four TENG units, which is further complemented by solar cells. Typical application scenarios are also demonstrated, achieving self‐powered soil moisture control, forest fire prevention and pipeline monitoring. The work realizes the concept of an environmental power source that can be deployed in the environment with high adaptability to make use of all kinds of surrounding energies for powering electronics in all‐weather conditions, providing a reliable foundation for the era of the IoTs.

Published: August 2020

BackgroundThe objective of this work was to assess the efficacy of serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) concentration in predicting early postoperative recurrence in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).MethodsWe prospectively enrolled CRSwNP patients to receive bilateral functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and followed them for 1 year. Serum ECP level was measured within 1 week before surgery. Demographics and associated medical factors were analyzed with the surgical outcome, and nasal polyp histology was microscopically examined.ResultsOverall, 58 patients met the inclusion criteria and underwent FESS. After at least a 1‐year follow‐up period, 9 patients had postoperative recurrence, with significantly higher serum ECP levels (p = 0.030). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed the optimal cutoff level of serum ECP concentration for predicting the postoperative recurrence of nasal polyps was 21.8 µg/L (p = 0.030). Regardless of atopy status and histology type, logistic regression analysis showed that a higher ECP level was the sole significant factor related to early postoperative recurrence of nasal polyps (odds ratio, 54.8; p = 0.014). Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that the hazard ratio of CRSwNP patients with an ECP level of >21.8 µg/L resulting in early postoperative recurrence was 7.6 (p = 0.011).ConclusionSerum ECP appears to be a feasible predictor for early postoperative recurrence of nasal polyps. CRSwNP patients with preoperative serum ECP levels of ≥21.8 µg/L had an approximately 55‐fold increased risk of early recurrence. CRSwNP patients with higher preoperative serum ECP levels should be closely monitored within the first year after surgery.
Robust Luenberger‐like observer for control of linear switched systems under arbitrary unknown switched function
Authors: Bejarano Francisco Javier , Mera Manuel 
Published: August 2020

AbstractWe study the problem of observer design for feedback control purposes of switched linear systems in which the switching function is entirely unknown. We propose a Luenberger‐like observer to implement feedback control. By a state transformation, the original system is immersed into another one that has constant parameters, but is affected by unknown inputs and jumps in the state. The main advantages of the obtained observer are that neither a dwell‐time is required nor any differentiation is needed. Thus, this methodology may be useful for the case of any arbitrary switching function; that is, the knowledge of a dwell‐time is not required. If, however, an average dwell‐time is known, then the proposed observer may still be implemented. Further, we show that the overall system is robust with respect to parametric uncertainties. The consequence of this robustness is that the whole system keeps its stability property when the matrices of the system take values in a set larger than the one considered by the indexed set. We carry out simulations to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
Does corporate governance affect financial performance of firms? A large sample evidence from India
Authors: Sehrawat Neeraj K. , Singh Sumanjeet , Kumar Amit 
Published: August 2020

AbstractThe study of corporate governance is gaining momentum as its compliance has been made mandatory and the number of corporate governance issues is on the rise. Global scandals in Enron, WorldCom, and so forth. along with the rising number of domestic cases of misgovernance such as Satyam, Tata v/s Mistry have further stimulated the interest of policy makers, investors, academicians and other stakeholders in India. A number of studies have investigated the relationship between corporate governance and performance but the results remain inconclusive. We examine the relationship in the Indian context on a sample of 2,552 non‐financial firms. The firm performance is measured by ROA and Tobin's Q and corporate governance characteristics are measured by the strength of the board, shareholding by executives, independence of the members of the audit committee and dual positions held by CEO. The results of the panel data analysis on 15,671 firm year (2010–2019) shows that the CG factors, namely, audit committee independence, board size and CEO duality do not impact firm performance whereas managerial ownership revealed positive impact on firm performance (ROA). Audit committee independence and CEO duality have no impact whereas board size and managerial ownership revealed positive impact on firm performance (Tobin's Q).
Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement in dehisced flexible ring
Authors: Maoz‐Metzl Daniel , McCarthy Fenton H. , Berson Daniel G. , Kunz Geoffrey A. 
Published: August 2020

AbstractTranscatheter tricuspid valve‐in‐surgical annuloplasty ring is an appealing concept in light of the high mortality associated with reoperation on the tricuspid valve. The clinical necessity of this procedure is derived from a considerable failure rate of tricuspid repairs over time. The presented case demonstrates that transcatheter valve‐in‐ring is a feasible option for patients with flexible tricuspid ring even in the context of significant ring dehiscence. Meticulous procedural planning, preemptively addressing a potential paravalvular leak, and clear understanding of the intricate three‐dimensional anatomy are imperative for procedural success.
Model selection techniques for sparse weight‐based principal component analysis
Authors: de Schipper Niek C. , Van Deun Katrijn 
Published: August 2020

AbstractMany studies make use of multiple types of data that are collected for the same set of samples, resulting in so‐called multiblock data (e.g., multiomics studies). A popular analysis framework is sparse principal component analysis (PCA) of the concatenated data. The sparseness in the component weights of these models is usually induced by penalties. A crucial factor in the use of such penalized methods is a proper tuning of the regularization parameters used to give more or less weight to the penalties. In this paper, we examine several model selection procedures to tune these regularization parameters for sparse PCA. The model selection procedures include cross‐validation, Bayesian information criterion (BIC), index of sparseness, and the convex hull procedure. Furthermore, to account for the multiblock structure, we present a sparse PCA algorithm with a group least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) penalty added to it, to either select or cancel out blocks of data in an automated way. Also, the tuning of the group LASSO parameter is studied for the proposed model selection procedures. We conclude that when the component weights are to be interpreted, cross‐validation with the one standard error rule is preferred; alternatively, if the interest lies in obtaining component scores using a very limited set of variables, the convex hull, BIC, and index of sparseness are all suitable.
