Authors: Li Xu , Tian Xiaodong , Mu Xiangdong , Liang Zhenzhen , Xu Xiaohui , Yu Haiyun 
Published: August 2020

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Circular Ribonucleic Acid (circRNA) is a type of RNA that has been found in recent years and is a closed loop structure widely found in eukaryotic cells. <strong>Present situation:</strong> The circRNA is stable in nature, highly conserved and tissue and disease specific, and regulates target gene expression at the transcriptional or posttranscriptional level, which is related to the occurrence and development of tumors. YAP (Yes-associated protein) is the main effector of Hippo signaling pathway. It is found that YAP level is closely related to cell proliferation and apoptosis, tissue organ size control and tumorigenesis. <strong>Aim:</strong> to study the correlation between circRNA and YAP in tumors.</p>

Authors: Ahmadi Zohreh , Jarollahi Farnoush , Ahadi Mohsen , Hosseini Fatemeh , Khamisabadi Saeedeh 
Published: August 2020

Background and Aim: Auditory processing dis­order (APD), as a sensory processing defect, can be comorbid with other disorders such as lear­ning disability (LD). LD has shown a greater likelihood of comorbidity with APD. Therefore, the deficits associated with APD needs to be identified in children with LD. Given the high likelihood of APD comorbidity in children with LD, this study aimed to screen for APD in 8−12-year-old children with LD using the Persian auditory processing domains questio­nnaire (APDQ-P).
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, APDQ-P was administered on 250 normal children with a mean (SD) age of 10 (1.48) years old (153 girls and 97 boys), and 110 children with LD with a mean (SD) age of 9 (1.92) years old (40 girls and 61 boys). After obtaining the cut-off point, the scores of the two groups were compared by a t-test in 5 age categories. Finally, we calculated the number of children with suspected APD using APDQ-P.
Results: There was a significant difference bet­ween the scores of LD and normal group in all subscales including auditory processing, language and attention. About 75% of LD chil­dren failed in auditory processing, 86% in atten­tion skills, and 82% in language skills.
Conclusion: A significant proportion of children with LD were suspected of APD, which could be indicative of a high likelihood of comorbidity of APD in children with LD. More accurate iden­tification of the degree and type of APD in these children requires central auditory diagno­stic tests.

A Simulation Framework for Passive Acoustic Thermometry of Nonhomogeneous Materials
Authors: Amiri Hossein , Khani Ali , Moghimi Boldaji Yousef , Makkiabadi Bahador 
Published: August 2020

Purpose: Internal temperature is a significant factor for medical diagnosis. There are several thermometric methods, including IR, MRI, and active ultrasonic thermometry, which have limitations for clinical applications. The new method in this field called Passive Acoustic Thermometry (PAT), which enhanced some of this limitation. PAT is a safe method for internal temperature estimation that works based on acoustic radiation of materials with a specific temperature. Several experimental studies have been carried out so far in the field of PAT. While, to the best of our knowledge, there is no simulation-based research for nonhomogeneous materials reported yet. In this article (for the first time) we proposed a simulation framework for evaluating the PAT methodologies in nonhomogeneous materials; also we proposed a new formulation for temperature estimation in PAT algorithm.
Materials and Methods: This framework supports the generation of acoustic radiation, signal processing, parameter estimation, and temperature reconstruction processes. At the moment the proposed framework estimates the temperature in the frequency domain and uses the frequency spectrum of the acquired ultrasound signals captured by a single transducer. Using the proposed framework, we tried to implement the previously practical experiments and the results of the simulation are consistent with those of the practical experiments. Also, we proposed the formulation that improves the error of temperature estimation.
Results: We study 6 scenarios, including 2 environments with a target at 3 different temperatures. The average error of the proposed formulation in two different nonhomogeneous materials for three different temperatures is less than 0.25°C.
Conclusion: The results show that the proposed formulation is the best estimation in the formula that has been introduced until now and compare with the previous study the accuracy is enhanced 54% (from 0.79 to 0.36 deg.). Therefore, the proposed formula enhanced PAT accuracy for temperature estimation. Also, the results show that it is possible to use this framework to evaluate the PAT in different scenarios. Therefore, this method enhances the possibility of examination of different conditions and algorithms. It also reduces the cost of practical experiment.
A REFORMA TRIBUTÁRIA NO BRASIL: O IVA À LUZ DA PEC 233/2008
Authors: Raulino Catia Regina 
Published: August 2020

Atualmente, o Brasil possui um dos mais complexos sistemas tributários do mundo, também chamado por pesquisadores internacionais como “manicômio tributário”. Com 94 tributos em vigência, com normas próprias e critérios quantitativos distintos, o contribuinte dificilmente consegue compreender o que está pagando, por que está pagando e quanto está pagando. Em função disso, desde o ano de 2007, iniciaram no Brasil a tramitação de diversas propostas de alteração ao sistema vigente, tendo sido apensadas a PEC 233/08, tramitando com o nome de PEC da Reforma Tributária. Diversas são as propostas em tramitação, mas este artigo cuida de analisar apenas essa. Disposta a desburocratizar a tributação brasileira, a proposta prevê quatorze grandes alterações, trazendo consigo a promessa de diminuição da carga tributária, facilitação na compreensão e redução da quantidade de tributos existentes. Mas, o que se pode extrair da leitura do projeto é algo que, na prática, não trará tantas mudanças positivas quanto promete. Este artigo fará uma análise dedutiva sobre o conteúdo do projeto de lei, verificando através de ampla pesquisa o impacto de sua aplicação, estudando o seu surgimento histórico, discutindo alguns aspectos da teoria de tributação, realizando um comparativo com os modelos vigentes nos demais países para analisar se, teoricamente, as proposições trariam um sistema ideal.Palavras-Chave: Direito Tributário. Imposto. Valor Agregado. Europa. MERCOSUL.The tax reform in Brazil: the VAT in the light of the PEC 233/2008ABSTRACTToday, Brazil has one of the most complex tax systems in the world, also called by international researchers as a “tax insane asylum”. With 94 taxes in place, with its own rules and different quantitative criteria, the taxpayer can hardly understand what he is paying, why he is paying and how much he is paying. As a result, since 2007, several proposals for alteration to the current system have been initiated in Brazil, and PEC (Proposal for Constitutional Amendment) 233/08 has been joined, being called the PEC of the Tax Reform. There are several proposals in the pipeline, but this article deals only with this one. Willing to reduce bureaucracy in Brazilian taxation, the proposal foresees fourteen major changes, bringing with it the promise of reducing the tax burden, facilitating understanding and reducing the amount of existing taxes. But what you can get from reading the project is something that in practice will not bring as many positive changes as it promises. This article will make a deductive analysis on the content of the bill, checking through extensive research the impact of its application, studying its historical emergence, discussing some aspects of tax theory, making a comparison with the models in force in other countries to to analyze if, theoretically, the propositions would bring an ideal system.Keywords: Tax Law.

Authors: Maahury Mirella Fonda , Male Yusthinus Thobias , Martoprawiro Muhamad Abdulkadir 
Published: August 2020

Computational study of natural indigo has been carried out to get the optimized structure and electronic properties of two indigo at different pH. It has been found that indigo has the potential to be applied as active material in the dye-sensitized solar cell. Computational calculations are performed using Density Functional Theory (DFT) with B3LYP functional and 6-31G(d,p) for ground state geometry optimization and Time Dependent-Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) for excited states single point calculation. All calculations are carried out in the gas phase. Geometry optimization results show that Indigo has a planar structure, whereas leuco-indigo structure is not planar. Leuco-indigo absorption wavelength is shorter than indigo. The density of HOMO and LUMO is spreading throughout the molecule. The density of electrons at LUMO extends to the anchoring group. Based on excitation energy, absorption wavelength, excitation composition, and HOMO-LUMO density, it can be concluded that indigo has the potential to be applied in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC)

Ensuring Requirements for Emissions of Harmful Substances of Diesel Engines
Authors: Kuharonak G. M. , Kapskiy D. V. , Berezun V. I. 
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this work is to consider the requirements for emissions of harmful substances of diesel engines by selecting design and adjustment parameters that determine the organization of the workflow, and the exhaust gas cleaning system, taking into account the reduction of fuel consumption. Design elements and geometric characteristics of structures for a turbocharged diesel engine of Д-245 series produced by JSC HMC Minsk Motor Plant (4ЧН11/12.5) with a capacity of 90 kW equipped with an electronically controlled battery fuel injection have been developed: exhaust gas recirculation along the high pressure circuit, shape and dimensions of the combustion chamber, the number and angular arrangement of the nozzle openings in a nozzle atomizer, and inlet channels of the cylinder head. Methods for organizing a workflow are proposed that take into account the shape of the indicator diagrams and affect the emissions of nitrogen oxides and dispersed particles differently. Their implementation allows us to determine the boundary ranges of changes in the control parameters of the fuel supply and exhaust gas recirculation systems when determining the area of minimizing the specific effective fuel consumption and the range of studies for the environmental performance of a diesel engine. The paper presents results of the study on the ways to meet the requirements for emissions of harmful substances, obtained by considering options for the organization of working processes, taking into account the reduction in specific effective fuel consumption, changes in the average temperature of the exhaust gases and diesel equipment. To evaluate these methods, the following indicators have been identified: changes in specific fuel consumption and average temperature of the toxicity cycle relative to the base cycle, the necessary degree of conversion of the purification system for dispersed particles and NOx. Recommendations are given on choosing a diesel engine to meet Stage 4 emission standards for nitrogen oxides and dispersed particles.

Tectonically Influenced Regions See Complex Stress States, Casing Failures
Authors: Carpenter Chris 
Published: August 2020

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 199710, “The Unconventional Unconventionals: Tectonically Influenced Regions, Stress States, and Casing Failures,” by A. Casero, SPE, and M. Rylance, SPE, BP, prepared for the 2020 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference, The Woodlands, Texas, 4-6 February. The paper has not been peer reviewed.
In tectonically influenced regions, potential hydrocarbon traps are subject to complex states of stress. This scenario often translates into severe strike/slip (SS) and thrust-fault or reverse-fault (TF/RF) stress states. The complete paper demonstrates that such complex stress states will affect well completions and hydraulic fracturing directly in a multitude of ways but that, often, some of the more influential consequences are severe casing failures, production-liner restrictions, and complex-fracture-initiation scenarios. Unconventional-resource development in such environments requires that a renewed focus be made in all phases of well design and construction.
Well Integrity
Distinguishing clearly between the two separate issues of well-integrity loss and reservoir-accessibility loss is critical when the presence of casing deformation or failure is considered. When describing casing deformation or failure, it is important to understand that not all of these failures are associated with a loss of well integrity. This is particularly true of any casing failure or deformation within the productive target formation because the target formation is fully outside the primary well barrier envelope.
In the complete paper, the authors refer only to those casing deformations and failures across and within the target productive intervals. Therefore, even if casing deformation results in loss of pressure integrity or partial or complete casing separation as a result of the event itself or because of the remedial actions implemented, this will not compromise actual well integrity. Consider that if the casing deformation occurs in a section that would or could normally be completed with perforations or fracturing, then the casing deformation is outside the primary wellbore barrier.
When such casing deformation occurs in the target area, well accessibility will be affected with regard to time, economics, and production but without health, safety, or environmental consequences. The operational effect can be significant up to and including a total loss of the well and a need to redrill through abandonment or sidetracking and is, therefore, a probabilistic part of development economics. The occurrence of extreme casing deformation within the primary well barrier envelope is extremely rare. Regardless, occurrence of such an event is treated as a major incident and involves all necessary regulatory bodies.
