In vivo mRNA display enables large-scale proteomics by next generation sequencing
Authors: Oikonomou Panos , Salatino Roberto , Tavazoie Saeed 
Published: October 2020

Significance
The need for mass-spectrometric determination of protein identity severely limits the throughput of many whole-cell proteomic analyses. We have developed an approach to physically connect in vivo-expressed proteins to their encoding messenger RNAs (mRNAs). This genotype–phenotype linkage enables us to carry out a variety of whole-proteome assays and determine the identity of each protein using nucleic acid sequencing. We show that the resulting in vivo mRNA display technology enables determination of protein subcellular localization and protein–protein interactions, with high sensitivity and specificity, using simple purification followed by high-throughput sequencing. In vivo mRNA display should enable more efficient interrogation of proteome behavior in a variety of applications that are currently limited by the cost and throughput of mass-spectrometric analysis.
America First populism, social volatility, and self-reported arrests
Authors: Levi Ron , Sendroiu Ioana , Hagan John 
Published: October 2020

SignificanceUsing the 2016 American National Election Study, we develop comprehensive measures of the current populist moment in the United States. Our purpose is to develop a behavioral analysis of this current socially volatile moment. Using hierarchical modeling, we find that political narratives of America First populism are connected to reported lifetime criminal arrests, and this holds when taking into account political leanings or the economic precarity facing individuals. While we make no claims of causation, our findings provide important clues about the social volatility of the current moment. We find that political beliefs of America First express and reflect economic frustrations, and that the social boundaries these narratives draw against perceived outsiders and internationalism are associated with lifetime criminal arrests.
Molecular mechanism underlying selective inhibition of mRNA nuclear export by herpesvirus protein ORF10

Published: October 2020

Significance
Nuclear export of host mRNAs is critical for proper cellular functions and survival. To mitigate this effort, viruses have evolved multiple strategies to inhibit this process. Distinct to the generally nonselective inhibition mechanisms, ORF10 from gammaherpesviruses blocks nuclear export of selective mRNAs by forming a complex with Rae1 (RNA export 1) and Nup98 (nucleoporin 98). Here we determine the structure of the ORF10–Rae1–Nup98 ternary complex and demonstrate that the intermolecular interactions are critical for both complex assembly and mRNA export inhibition. Moreover, we find that the ORF10-RNA direct interaction is important for ORF10-mediated mRNA export inhibition. This work is essential to understand the diversity of viral-mediated mRNA export inhibition and to design potential antiviral therapies.
The environmental impacts of religious tourism.
Authors: Shinde Kiran A. , Ols Daniel H. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

This chapter sets the context for the other eleven chapters in this book by first briefly reviewing the literature between religion, tourism, and the environment, identifying gaps in the existing literature, and then presenting a conceptual model to understand the ecosystem of pilgrimage and religious tourism. The quick review of the existing literature around the key concepts of tourism, religion, and environment shows that while each of these areas has its own exploratory domains, the relationships between these concepts have received varying degrees of attention. Of these connections, tourism-environment relations have received the greatest amount of attention and yielded basic conceptual frameworks to understand these relationships. However, the role of religious values that influence both positive and negative impacts between tourism and the environment are largely missing. The connections between tourism and religion only sparingly discuss environmental aspects, and regarding the relationships between religion and environment, the appeal of nature and ethical calls for environmental stewardship are quite evident, but investigations into the actual interactions of the various aspects that underpin these relationships within the material world are still lacking.
Pilgrimage, religious tourism, biodiversity, and natural sacred sites.
Authors: Olsen Daniel H. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

This chapter examines the impacts of pilgrimage and religious tourists on natural sacred sites. After discussing the views of the environment held by various religious groups and the tensions between secular and religious modes of environmentalism, definitions and different types of natural sacred sites are considered. Attention is then turned to examine how pilgrimage and religious tourism affect natural sacred sites, followed by a discussion of the management of sacred natural sites and their role in the preservation of biodiversity.
Mimicking mountains: Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Família and the mountain of Montserrat.
Authors: Garcia-Fuentes Josep-Maria 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

To chart the history of the integration of the ideological and political ideas behind the motivations and design of the Basílica de la Sagrada Família during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this chapter examines the use of Montserrat's mountain as an ideological tool in Spain, Catalonia, and the Americas with the aim to trace the origin of the intricate and multiple ideological and religious symbolism of the mountain that was mobilized by Gaudí in his project for the Sagrada Família. Then, the chapter analyses Gaudí's architecture and its attempt to interpret architecturally the geological structure of Montserrat with the aim to make a bold statement on the religious symbolism of the Catalan mountain within the competing struggle between the different ideological groups that sought to capitalize both Montserrat's and the Sagrada Família's symbolism to suit their own political purposes. Ultimately the goal of this chapter is to discuss the entangled relations between religion, nature, and ideology, and to demonstrate the role that architecture and architectural interpretation of nature play within the mediation of these connections.

Combining GNSS and accelerometer measurements for evaluation of dynamic and semi-static characteristics of bridge structures
Authors: Yu Lina , Xiong Chunbao , Gao Yang , Zhu Jinsong 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
With the increasing number of long span bridges, real-time, accurate and continuous monitoring of their safety is important at present. This study investigates the combination of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and accelerometer for monitoring dynamic and semi-static characteristics of bridge structures. A field experiment was conducted with the integration of a GNSS and accelerometer. Considering the noise interference of GNSS monitoring, performance tests were first conducted in different environments to investigate the noise characteristics. Next, complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise-wavelet packet (CEEMDAN-WP) algorithm was chosen for denoising, among which a double criterion based on the correlation coefficient and effective coefficient was proposed to sift the intrinsic mode functions. After the noise reduction process, structural dynamic displacements and modal frequencies were successfully extracted from the 50 Hz GNSS real-time kinematic (GNSS-RTK) and accelerometer data, in which the displacements presented a consistent trend and the first natural frequency was the same (i.e. 0.369 Hz). Structural semi-static characteristics were evaluated by using 1 Hz (RTK), post-processed kinematic, and precise point positioning data. With reference to relevant specifications, the structural failure probability of the bridge in the vertical direction was calculated to be 0.4319. The results indicate that GNSS-RTK is reliable in monitoring structural dynamic and semi-static displacements of the bridge. Additionally, the proposed improved CEEMDAN-WP with double criterion is effective for background noise reduction. In addition, there may be some non-adequate behaviors, such as heavy traffic and vehicle overload, leading to the critical operation of the bridge.
Three-dimensional characteristics of the quasi-single helical state in the KTX

Published: October 2020

Abstract
The characteristics of various quasi-single helicities (QSHs) in the Keda Torus eXperiment (KTX) are investigated in ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations with self-organized helical equilibria. It is found that in the core plasma region the negative magnetic shear imposes a substantial influence on the stabilization of interchange modes, which can enhance the magnetic fluctuations of the dominant single mode. The prominent reversal shear plays a critical role on the transition to the QSH phase. This paper shows that the QSH state with a toroidal field periodicity N
fp = 6 is expected to stably achieve by the negative magnetic shear in the future KTX experiments. In addition, the plasma confinement effected by subdominant modes is estimated using particle drift computations in the KTX. As the amplitude of residual subdominant modes increases the radial drift is significantly enhanced, which indicates a drastic loss of ions arises from the subdominant modes with sufficient amplitudes. The result appears to agree with experimental observations in the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) (Bonofiglo 2019 Phys. Rev. Lett.
123 055001). This work may shed a light on the transition mechanism between the multiple helicities (MH) phase and the QSH phase in reversed-field pinch (RFP) facilities. Moreover, to improve the confinement of RFP in the QSH scenario, the critical importance of subdominant mode amplitudes on the ion confinement should be greatly considered.
New heat flux model for non-axisymmetric divertor infrared structures
Authors: Wingen A. , Orlov D. , Evans T.E. , Bykov I. , Wilks T.M. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
A convective heat flux model for perturbed plasmas, based on guiding center ion drift in vacuum fields (Wingen, et al 2014 Phys. Plasmas 21 012509), has been updated. The old model only considered ion heat flux, while here also electron heat flux is included. The updated model predicts divertor heat flux distributions in non-axisymmetric (3D) plasmas with applied resonant magnetic perturbation fields, and includes electric scalar potentials. It is found that a radial electric field in the near scrape-off layer can considerably shift the footprints toroidally, leading to a smearing out effect of the incident heat flux, while a simple model for sheath potential has little impact on footprints. Various approaches to model electron heat flux are studied. A convective electron model, based on collisionless free streaming, is found to yield the best agreement with measurements, while a conductive model requires a flat temperature gradient inside lobes to yield acceptable peak heat flux values. A heuristic heat flux layer approach, based on a fixed layer width also requires a limited heat flux inside the last closed flux surface (LCFS); by selecting various locations of the LCFS, the results of the conductive or convective model can be recovered respectively. The sum of ion and electron heat fluxes, both obtained by the convective model, is compared to experimental data for multiple time slices in DIII-D. Strike point splitting is observed with peak heat fluxes and layer widths that compare well to infrared camera measurements.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
With the desiccation of saline lakes around the globe, it is increasingly important to quantify the impacts of playa dust on downwind urban areas and mountain snowpack. In this study, we used 87Sr/86Sr ratios of carbonate minerals to trace dust from playas to urban areas and mountain snowpack. We focused on dust contributions from Great Salt Lake (GSL), in northern Utah, USA, which recently reached historic lows in water levels exposing large areas of dry lakebed. We measured 87Sr/86Sr ratios in dust from GSL, Sevier Dry Lake (SDL), and other playas across western Utah and compared them to 87Sr/86Sr ratios in dust across the urban Wasatch Front and mountain snowpack collected seasonally from 2015–2018. Dust from GSL had unique 87Sr/86Sr ratios (∼0.715) relative to SDL (∼0.710) and other playas (∼0.711 to 0.712), providing a potentially powerful tool for tracing GSL dust to downwind areas. Dust deposition had 87Sr/86Sr ratios ranging from ∼0.710 to ∼0.712 in the urban area and snowpack, within the range of playa dust sources. Using a simple two-endmember mixing model considering only GSL and SDL as sources, GSL contributed 5% of the dust flux to the southern Wasatch Front (Provo) and between 30%–34% of the dust flux to the northern Wasatch Front (Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Logan). For mountain snowpack, GSL contributed 11% of the dust flux to the Uinta Mountains and 22% of the dust flux to the Wasatch Mountains. Dust transport modeling could be combined with 87Sr/86Sr fingerprints for source apportionment in northern Utah and other areas that are impacted by regional playa dust.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Towards the end of the 20th century there was a huge boom in the development of solar energy, which led to an increase in the production of photovoltaic panels. The producers assume a lifetime of these panels of 30 years. Today, the life of this photovoltaic panels is ending and a large amount of waste is associated with it. This issue is also addressed by the Council of the European Union, which issued Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment. Photovoltaic panels are included in IV. category “Consumer electronics and photovoltaic panels”. This Directive mandates that at least 70% of photovoltaic panel materials must be reused or recycled. This paper presents a review of the current trends in recycling of photovoltaic panels and the possibilities of reuse in cement matrix.

Identification and risk assessment of historic and listed buildings
Authors: Stuchlík J 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
The article deals with the identification and evaluation of risks of publicly funded construction projects. The study presents a risk analysis, incl. draft measures to eliminate some of the most serious risks that may affect the completion date and contractual budget. Risks are qualified as the product of the probability of the occurrence of an adverse event and the potential damage caused by the event. Risk identification was based on a list of 30 publicly funded national heritage constructions. The most serious risks from the contractor’s point of view were identified as a poor-quality preparation and formulation of the contract agreement, climatic effects and shortcomings in the project documentation. Possible implementation of the proposed solutions to these risks in the construction process can eliminate the contractor’s failure to meet the deadline for completion of the construction and exceeding the contractual budget.

Abstract
Composite steel-concrete bridges are one of the most recent additions to the bridge science. By joining the two of the most commonly used materials it is possible to use their strengths combined. This was firstly presented for composite ceilings. It was assembled by encasing the whole I-beams into the concrete deck. Nowadays, it can also be used for short span railway bridges. Ongoing research at Technical University of Košice (TUKE), Faculty of Civil Engineering, is currently trying to prove the unnecessity of usage of the entire I-beam as well as the entire block of concrete by encasing only part of the beam, the so called perforated steel strip, into the concrete.
Evaluation and modeling the static and free vibrational behaviours of AA3003/CFRP honeycomb sandwich structures
Authors: R Ragavan , P Pitchipoo 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Honeycomb structures are widely applied to many aerospace applications nowadays. Research in the successful manufacturing of sandwich composites itself is a thrust area to many advanced materials researchers. Nevertheless, in real service conditions, all the produced sandwich structures are commissioned after many machining processes. Abrasive water jet machining is one of the exclusive methods of machining high brittle structures. Honeycomb structures layered with carbon and/or Kevlar taps possess very high brittle kind of behaviors. Henceforth, Abrasive Water Jet machining can be adopted for producing net designed shape. The present work investigates enhancing the mechanical response of AA3003 honeycomb of 0.4 mm cell-wall thickness after skinned with carbon fiber epoxy composite layers. Composite layers of 0.6 mm are staked on both sides and glued using Araldite. 12 h oven curing has been employed at 60 °C. Conditioned samples have proceeded for standard mechanical characterizations in addition to the free vibrational and damping properties. A novel approach to measure the sandwich panel’s damping is experimented with in this work by conducting impact hammer excitation to stimulate the possible modes in the integrated system. Finally, the mechanical properties of sandwich panels are investigated by simulation software along with the experimental methods. Further, the analytical results are compared, and the results reveal that an increase in core thickness enhanced the sandwich composites’ damping behavior. Coupons have been taken from various regions to balance the uncertainty. The experimental results show the significant enhancement of the aluminum core’s rigidity due to the composite lapping.
