Bound states in the continuum (BIC) accompanied by avoided crossings in leaky-mode photonic lattices
Authors: Lee Sun-Goo , Kim Seong-Han , Kee Chul-Sik 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
When two nonorthogonal resonances are coupled to the same radiation channel, avoided crossing arises and a bound state in the continuum (BIC) appears with appropriate conditions in parametric space. This paper presents numerical and analytical results on the properties of avoided crossing and BIC due to the coupled guided-mode resonances in one-dimensional (1D) leaky-mode photonic lattices with slab geometry. In symmetric photonic lattices with up-down mirror symmetry, Friedrich–Wintgen BICs with infinite lifetime are accompanied by avoided crossings due to the coupling between two guided modes with the same transverse parity. In asymmetric photonic lattices with broken up-down mirror symmetry, quasi-BICs with finite lifetime appear with avoided crossings because radiating waves from different modes cannot be completely eliminated. We also show that unidirectional-BICs are accompanied by avoided crossings due to guided-mode resonances with different transverse parities in asymmetric photonic lattices. The Q factor of a unidirectional-BIC is finite, but its radiation power in the upward or downward direction is significantly smaller than that in the opposite direction. Our results may be helpful in engineering BICs and avoided crossings in diverse photonic systems that support leaky modes.

Published: August 2020

Abstract
Laboratory flow tests performed on granular materials in rigid-wall permeameters are used to determine the hydraulic conductivity of saturated materials or to study particle migration. For such tests, specimen preparation is important, particularly the saturation process. The presence of gas bubbles in the tested specimen leads to smaller hydraulic conductivity values and may affect particle migration. Therefore, measures must be taken to obtain fully saturated specimens. In order to improve saturation, two elements have to be taken into consideration: first, the presence of gas in the permeant water; second, the presence of gas in the pores of the specimen. Several flow tests are described in ASTM standards. These standards involve different conditioning methods for permeant water (e.g., heating, seepage through a sand filter, cavitation under vacuum), and different specimen saturation methods (e.g., saturation with an upward flow under vacuum, following carbon dioxide flushing). In this article, water deaeration and specimen saturation methods were evaluated and compared using a mass-volume method. In the first phase, the importance of using deaerated permeant water was examined by comparing different conditioning methods for permeant water. Saturation using water in equilibrium with atmospheric pressure was compared with saturation with water heated at 40°C, water deaerated using a sand filter, and water deaerated by cavitation under vacuum. In the second phase, the influence of purging the gas contained in the soil specimen before saturation using carbon dioxide or a vacuum was compared. In both cases, the permeant water was deaerated by cavitation under vacuum. These tests showed that combining a purge of the specimen with carbon dioxide with saturation using an upward flow of water deaerated by cavitation under vacuum yielded the highest degree of saturation for granular specimens in a rigid-wall permeameter. Another advantage of this combination is that it accelerates specimen saturation.
Selective Removal of Sodium Salt Taste Disrupts the Maintenance of Dendritic Architecture of Gustatory Relay Neurons in the Mouse Nucleus of the Solitary Tract

Published: August 2020

AbstractNeuronal activity plays critical roles in the development of sensory circuits in the mammalian brain. Experimental procedures are now available to alter the function of specific taste transduction pathways and have been especially useful in studying how stimulus-specific taste activity influences the development of central gustatory circuits. We previously used a mouse knock-out (KO) model in which the transduction channel necessary for sodium taste is removed from taste bud cells throughout life. In these KO mice, the terminal fields that carry taste information from taste buds into the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) fail to mature, suggesting that sodium-elicited taste activity is important for the proper development of central gustatory circuits. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the development and maintenance of the dendritic architecture of NST relay cells, the primary postsynaptic partner of gustatory nerve terminal fields, are similarly dependent on sodium-elicited taste activity. The dendritic fields of NST relay cells, from adult male and female mice in which the α-subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (αENaC) was conditionally deleted in taste bud cells throughout life, were up to 2.4× larger and more complex than that of age-matched control mice. Interestingly, these differences in dendritic architecture did not appear until after the age when terminal fields begin “pruning,” after postnatal day (P)20. Overall, our results suggest that ENaC-mediated sodium taste activity is necessary for the maintenance of dendritic fields of relay cells in the gustatory NST.

Published: August 2020

Previous studies on the association between migration outflow and income inequality have shown mixed findings. Some find that migration outflow reduces income inequality, but others find that migration outflow increases income inequality. This study aims to analyze the effect of migration outflow on income inequality in Central Java Province with two control variables: mean years of schooling and minimum wage. Central Java was chosen as the research location because it is the province with the highest migration outflow. This study uses secondary, time series data for the period 2000-2018 consisting of income inequality as measured by the Gini ratio (percent), migration outflow (people), meanyears of schooling (years), and minimum wage (rupiah). Data were obtained from BPS Central Java and analyzed with multiple linear regression. The results show that migration outflow and mean years of schooling have a negative significant effect and minimum wage has a positive significant effect on income inequality. This findings imply that migration outflow and improvement of the quality of human resources through education can be solutions to reduce poverty and income inequality, while minimum wage actually increases inequality, which may be due to the large portion of population engaging in agriculture and the informal sector.

Authors: Hillen Cristina , Facin Lavarda Carlos Eduardo 
Published: August 2020

Entre as características que diferenciam as empresas familiares das não familiares, está a sucessão, o que indica uma necessidade maior de inovação em função da continuidade dos ne- gócios da família. O objetivo deste estudo foi mapear a produção científica em relação à inovação e sucessão intergeracional em empresa familiar. Por meio da revisão de literatura nos bancos de dados Scopus, Science Direct e Web of Science, foram selecionados quatro artigos, revisados por pares, relacionados com a temática, a partir dos termos “innovat*”, “succession”, “family” nos cam- pos “título”, “resumo” e “palavras-chave” dos referidos bancos de dados. A busca compreendeu a produção científica publicada em periódicos científicos até fevereiro de 2018. Foram considerados artigos científicos na língua inglesa. Como resultado, percebeu-se a falta de uma visão abrangente na literatura científica sobre o tema “sucessão e inovação em empresa familiar”. A principal conclu- são do estudo é a de que o processo de sucessão está associado positiva ou negativamente com a inovação em função de fatores contextuais e do envolvimento familiar. Com base na triangulação dos estudos selecionados, apresentam-se sugestões para as futuras pesquisas que considerem a sucessão e a inovação no contexto de empresas familiares.

Telling Stories to Anybody Who Will Listen
Authors: Colón Lida 
Published: August 2020

As a field, we discuss composition histories from inside the academy, both metaphorically and materially; the subject of the conversation is most often college students and we most often have these conversations at conferences or at our institutions. Driven by my own writing experiences, I have been thinking lately about the relationship between love—for self and others—and composition practice, and given the many parallels between the oppressions and resistance strategies employed by Black people in our nation’s early years and those of the current moment, I think about the evidence of the radicaly liberatory function writing served for enslaved Africans that can be found in in Black American’s current practices. Robert Colón, the center of the present work, is unmistakably a writer. This interview serves to provide some insight into contemporary Black composition practices offers new perspective on my position in the field of composition.
Publishing: A Conversation/Publishing a Conversation
Authors: Gamber Cayo 
Published: August 2020

This piece offers a personal, wry rumination on publishing one's work. In the piece, I work through stages of anticipation, dejection, envy, amity, shoring up, and persistence. These stages represent the process of sending work out, being rejected for publication, envying the publications of others, and yet finding the will to believe in the work of journals to circulate essays that will affirm, challenge, and/or change our thinking and the will to persist in the effort to find a place for my words, my work.

Seed traits and germination in the Cactaceae family: A review across Americas
Authors: Barrios Duniel , Sánchez Jorge A. , Flores Joel , Jurado Enrique 
Published: August 2020

Background: Cactaceae is the fifth taxonomic group with the highest proportion of threatened species and among the angiosperms, the most vulnerable to human disturbance. One way to contribute to the preservation of this family is to understand the processes that promote seed germination.
Questions: Have the relationship between seed traits and cactus germination been documented? How common is dormancy and seed banks in Cactaceae ? Are there general patterns in cacti germination response to temperature, light, water, salinity, phytohormones, hydration/dehydration cycles, mechanical or chemical scarification?
Data description: A total of 333 studies on cactus germination with information on 409 taxa.
Study site and dates: since 1939 to January 2020.
Methods: A search of scientific articles in Google Scholar was performed with the words Cactaceae , cacti and cactus, in combination with various matters on germination in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Results: The main germination studies in cactus deal with photoblasticism (275 taxa), temperature (205 taxa) and seed longevity (142 taxa). Other lines of study in cactus germination ( e.g., desiccation tolerance, vivipary, phytohormones, mechanical or chemical scarification, in vitro germination, hydration/dehydration cycles, water and saline stress, serotiny, storage in cold, high temperature tolerance and soil seed bank) include between 14 and 65 taxa. Cacti have only physiological dormancy and optimal germination for most species occur between 20 and 30 °C. Photoblasticism is strongly influenced by phylogeny with 80.9 % positive photoblastic species.
Conclusions: Mexico, Brazil and Argentina are the three leading countries in the study of cactus germination.

Published: August 2020

Aim: to evaluate the quality of life parameters dynamics in patients with vulvar cancer I and II stages during postoperative rehabilitation.Materials and Methods. A prospective comparative randomized study included 47 women with vulvar cancer I–II stages, aged 38 to 70 years, with an average age of 56.3 ± 3.9 years. Patients were randomized into 2 groups: 24 of them underwent postoperative rehabilitation and 23 were included in the comparison group. Quality of life and sexual function, as well as psycho-emotional state were assessed using a set of questionnaires: quality of life of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) with an extension for vulvar cancer, Female Sexuality Index (FSFI) and WAM (well-being, activity, mood).Results. Patient who receiving postoperative rehabilitation even during the first three months, a reliable positive dynamics of all parameters of FSFI and EORTC, except cognitive function, was noted. At the same time, in the patients not undergoing postoperative rehabilitation program there was no reliable difference in the results of the questionnaires, except for FSFI, but the severity of changes was significantly less than in the patients of the research group. Dynamics in the EORTC parameters in women in postoperative rehabilitation averaged 14.8 points with 7.8 points in the comparison group. In the FACT-G questionnaire, the dynamics were even more pronounced with 19.9 and 6.8 points respectively. There was a reliable positive trend in improving the quality of sexual life and a decrease in the percentage of women suffer from pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse: from 25,0 % (n = 6) to 4,2 % (n = 1) in the study group and from 21,7 % (n = 5) to 13,0 % (n = 3) in the comparison group. Improvement in sexual desire and satisfaction during the year was noted in 5 (20.8 %) women in the study group and only 2 (8.7 %) in the comparison group.Conclusion. The developed program of postoperative rehabilitation of patients with vulvar cancer, which includes individual and group psychotherapy, "anti-cancer diet therapy", dosed physical activity, dynamic correction of vaginal biocoenosis showed high efficiency already during the first 6 months. All patients with vulvar cancer in the postoperative period should receive active rehabilitation aimed at correction of psycho-emotional state and sexual function, which will improve the quality of life and improve further prognosis.

Authors: Salek Md. Abu , Islam Md. Shahidul 
Published: August 2020

The goal of this examine is to model the age-time established prevalence of hepatitis B whilst estimating the impact of vaccination. While stochastic models/time series have been used before to version hepatitis B cases in the absence of know-how on the wide variety of susceptible, this paper proposes to apply a way that fits into the generalized additive version framework. Generalized additive models with penalized regression splines are used to make the most the underlying continuity of each age and time in a bendy nonparametric way. Primarily based on a unique case notification dataset, it's far proven that the implemented immunization programme in Bangladesh ended in a huge lower in incidence for babies in their first year of existence with 82% (79%-84%). Moreover, its miles proved that conditional on an assumed baseline susceptibility percent; a clean force of infection profile can be received from which two local maxima had been determined at ages 9 and 24.

Published: August 2020

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the excess life-time cancer risk (ELCR) of public in & around the Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) campus based on the real-time radiation monitoring data.
Method: A real-time digital portable radiation monitoring device (GAMMA SCOUT) along with a Garmin eTrex Global Positioning System (GPS) device was used for radiation monitoring and location identification respectively. ArcGIS® software (Version 2.3) was used for mapping of the locations.
Result: The measured dose rate in the indoor environment ranged from 0.05-71.21 µSv/hr with an average of 12.709 ± 0.624 µSv/hr and in the outdoor environment ranged from 0.02-0.58 µSv/hr with an average of 0.174 ± 0.038 µSv/hr of the DMCH campus. The annual effective dose in the indoor environment ranged from 84.552- 93.52 mSv with an average of 89.064 ± 47.730 mSv and in the outdoor environment, the value ranged from 0.21-0.43 mSv with an average of 0.306 ± 0.105 mSv. ELCR from indoor gamma radiation ranged from 333×10-3 - 368 ×10-3 with an average of 3×10-1 and in the outdoor, it ranged from 8.377×10-4 -1.829×10-3 with an average value of 1×10-3 for 32 selected locations in & around DMCH campus.
Conclusion: This type of study is required to minimize the public health risk associated with ionizing radiation. This study also helps for the protection of the environment and the public from unnecessary radiation hazard arising from DMCH.
« Ne croyez pas ce que je viens de vous dire » Maximes et essayistes fictifs contre la pensée dogmatique
Authors: Lacroix Michel 
Published: August 2020

Rarement utilisées jusque-là dans la littérature québécoise, les formes brèves aphoristiques sont explorées par plusieurs écrivains, à la fin des années trente et au début des années quarante. Entre « maximes et papillotages », réflexion intemporelle, bons mots et confession sentimentale, ce corpus hétéroclite met en évidence une commune tendance au morcellement, à la discontinuité, en même temps qu’une volonté de savoir passant par le travail de la phrase. Ce faisant, ce corpus s’écrit en marge ou à rebours des doctrines, manifestant à la fois l’aspiration à l’autonomie littéraire et l’affirmation de la subjectivité amoureuse.
