Optimum strategies for pulp fractions refining
Authors: Huber Patrick , Carré Bruno , Kumar Saurabh , Lecourt Michael 
Published: May 2018

AbstractSeparate refining of pulp fractions before remixing has sometimes been compared to whole pulp refining, with no definitive answer about the interest of doing so. In this work, we present a general method to help decide whether fractions refining can be profitable or not. Recommendations for fractions refining strategies are given, depending on the evolution of pulp properties as a function of applied energy. In the tested case (bleach kraft pulp mix (75 % eucalyptus/25 % radiata pine) fractionated on a 2-stage hydrocyclone process), optimised fractions refining provided a gain of about 40 kWh/T compared to whole pulp mix refining, when targeting a tensile index of 50 N.m/g.
Parameters influencing hydrophobization of paper by surface sizing
Authors: Iselau Frida , Malmborg-Nystr.m Kerstin , Holmberg Krister , Bordes Romain 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Paper surface hydrophobization, also referred to as .surface sizing., is often necessary for printing and packaging purposes. Typically, hydrophobic polymeric nanoparticles, in combination with starch are applied on the paper surface at the dry-end of the paper machine. In the surface sizing process, the nature of the nanoparticles, starch type, starch concentration and ratio between starch and nanoparticles, paper quality, ionic strength, and application as well as drying temperature are parameters that influence the result. The aim of this work was to systematically evaluate these parameters in order to create knowledge to be used for optimization of the process. Laboratory scale surface sizing trials were performed and the results from the trials showed that cationic particles gave superior performance compared to anionic particles. Both the starch type and the concentration of the oxidized starch had an impact on the performance. The effect of the ionic strength was found to depend on the particle charge: for cationic particles, the addition of salt was detrimental while for the anionic particles it was beneficial. An increase of the application or the drying temperature was found to enhance the performance up to a temperature around the glass transition temperature of the polymer.
Inferencing, Reanalysis, and the History of the French est-ce que Question
Authors: Waltereit Richard 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In this paper, I discuss critically the traditional view of reanalysis, taking into account recent debates about the concept. In particular, I argue that the debate about reanalysis tends to conflate two interpretations of reanalysis: reanalysis as a type of language change among other ones, and reanalysis as the recognition or “ratification” of any kind of change. I offer a possible explanation of that potential confusion. I then illustrate this distinction using the history of the French est-ce que question as a case study. I report original diachronic research on the history of that construction. Further, I discuss implications both at a conceptual-theoretical level and at a practical level for further diachronic research. The paper concludes with a summary and discussion of the findings.
The Role of Inferencing in Semantic/ Pragmatic Cyclicity: the Case of Latin nunc and French or/maintenant
Authors: Hansen Maj-Britt Mosegaard 
Published: May 2018

AbstractIn this paper, I analyze the evolution of the Latin adverb/discourse marker NUNC and its Old and Modern French equivalents, or and maintenant, markers whose content-level source meanings are in all cases equivalent to English now. The analysis pays particular attention to the role of metonymic inference, and to bridging contexts. Showing that the three etymologically unrelated markers have remarkably similar (but crucially not identical) uses, both as temporal adjuncts and as pragmatic markers of various types, I argue that the diachronic changes undergone by these three items constitute a semantic/pragmatic cycle of a type that I call “onomasiological” (cf. Hansen 2015, fc). I suggest that cyclic developments at the level of semantics and pragmatics take place because source items that are semantically similar will favor similar types of contextual inferences. Furthermore, the fact that the range of uses of the items under consideration is not necessarily exactly identical from one cycle to the next supports an instructional view of semantics, which affords a central role in the process of meaning construction precisely to inferencing.
Contemplation and the Suffering Earth: Thomas Merton, Pope Francis, and the Next Generation
Authors: Pramuk Christopher 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
During his address to the US Congress in 2015, Pope Francis lifted up the Trappist monk and famed spiritual writer Thomas Merton as one of four “great” Americans who “offer us a way of seeing and interpreting reality” that is life-giving and brings hope. Drawing from Merton and gesturing to Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’, the author explores the epistemological roots of the environmental crisis, arguing that while intellectual conversion to the crisis is crucial, Merton’s witness suggests a deeper kind of transformation is required. Reading Merton schools the imagination in the way of wisdom, or sapientia, a contemplative disposition that senses its kinship with Earth through the eyes of the heart, illuminating what Pope Francis has called “an integral ecology.” The author considers the impact of two major influences on Merton’s thought: the Russian Wisdom school of theology, or sophiology, and French theologian Jacques Ellul, whose 1964 book “The Technological Society” raises prescient questions about the role of technology in education and spiritual formation. Arguing that our present crisis is both technological and spiritual, epistemological and metaphysical, the author foregrounds Merton’s contributions to a sapiential theology and theopoetics while asking how the sciences and humanities might work together more intentionally toward the transformation of the personal and collective human heart.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The lower bounds for the minimal singular eigenvalue of the matrix are obtained under the G-Lindeberg condition and the G-double stochastic condition for the variances of the matrix entries. The new method is based on the G-method of perpendiculars, the REFORM method, the martingale method, and the theory of canonical spectral equations.

Authors: Adam Jean-Michel 
Published: May 2018

Résumé
La linguistique du texte a pour tâche la théorisation et la description des opérations de segmentation qui délimitent des unités de rang et de longueur différentes, et la théorisation et la description des différents effets de continuité créés par les opérations de liage de ces unités. À la structuration phrastique-périodique par la morpho-syntaxe et la prosodie à l’oral, la ponctuation à l’écrit, le palier micro-textuel ajoute six facteurs de texture transphrastique : les liages référentiels et isotopiques, les liages du signifiant, l’ensemble des phénomènes de connexion, les relations d’implicitation, la cohésion énonciative et la cohésion illocutoire. À partir de trois textes (publicitaire, littéraire et discours politique oral), cet article illustre systématiquement et détaille ces six formes de liage transphrastique des unités textuelles de base.
Josef Štefan Kubíns Sammlung von Volkserzählungen aus dem Riesengebirgsvorland
Authors: Udolph Ludger 
Published: May 2018

Summary
In the first quarter of the 20th century, the Czech teacher J. St. Kubín collected far more than 1000 folktales of Czech countrymen, especially in the Giant Mountains. Kubín comprehended the orally passed on folktale as the genuine cultural tradition of ‘unsophisticated’ people. The narrator is the bearer of this tradition, which Kubín defends as autonomous and native against modernism and civic society. Different from Václav Tille, who claimed the literary written origin of folktales, Kubín emphasizes the oral tradition of the folktales. His rich collection shows the internationality of the types of the folktale.
Rote Märchen in Schwarz-Weiß
Authors: Hultsch Anne 
Published: May 2018

Summary
In 1950 Pavel Kohout published under the title O černém a bílém [‘About the black and the white’] a book of fairy tales, which appeared in 1953 in East Germany under the title Dreizehn rote Rosen [‘Thirteen red roses’]. If one can still recognize elements of (literary) fairy tales in the original agitative text, these are largely obliterated in the translation. The fairy tales lose the elements that marked them as fairy tales. In East Germany, the early Soviet fairy tale criticism, which had lost its sharpness at the Soviet Writers’ Congress in 1934, is taken over, while in Czechoslovakia it is still represented only by orthodox criticism.
Forecasting the unemployment rate over districts with the use of distinct methods
Authors: Wozniak Marcin 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Interdependencies among neighboring regions appear to be important in forming the shape of local labor markets. Nevertheless, only a few studies exist which have applied spatial models to forecast over small spatial units such as cities, districts or counties. The majority of predictions are developed with quarterly or yearly time series for a country or at regional level. The paper presents the above phenomena and deals with the problem of simultaneous forecasting of the unemployment rate over 35 poviats (districts and cities) in one of the Polish provinces. Two extremely different models with spatial dependencies were developed and estimated in this paper: the Spatial Vector Autoregressions (SpVAR) and the Spatial Artificial Neural Network (SpANN). The 13-month out-of-sample forecast is based on high frequency, raw, monthly panel data extracted from 31 local labor offices. The procedure worked out here allows comparing the forecasting performance of spatial models with their non-spatial and seasonal equivalents. The inclusion of a spatial component into the models significantly improves the accuracy of forecasts; however, the overall performance of SpVAR is 30% better than SpANN.
Formulating Relations
Authors: Olabarria Leire 
Published: May 2018

Summary
The language of monumental inscriptions on Middle Kingdom stelae is often regarded as highly standardised and formulaic, thus its potential for assessing social practices is considered to be fairly limited. An analysis that integrates textual and contextual evidence may, however, facilitate a better understanding of some formulae and the role those stelae played in the construction of contemporary social models. The rare smyt-formula is attested in nine objects of the late 12th or early 13th dynasty. Most of these are stelae found at Abydos, hence saturated with the site’s cultic importance. Although their disparate stylistic features rule out their being products of a single workshop, the use of the formula and its arrangement after a list of personal names is strikingly consistent. The way in which people, who are mentioned on those lists, are related to the dedicatees of the monuments may provide a clue as to why this formula emerged in the late Middle Kingdom, a time when kinship relations were often celebrated and commemorated on stelae in the context of the ritual landscape of Abydos. Moreover, the smyt-formula signposts a latent tension between two modes of group formation, focused respectively on ego or on his ancestors.

Published: May 2018

Summary
This article discusses a fragment of a rare, wooden slab-style Egyptian senet board that was given to the Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona (Tucson, Arizona) in 1922 by Lily S. Place, an American who lived in Cairo in the 1910s and 1920s and purchased ancient Egyptian objects from dealers and in the bazaars; it has no ancient provenience. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, the authors provide a reading and interpretation of the incised hieroglyphs, establish a radiocarbon date for the game board from 980 to 838 B.C.E., identify the wood as Abies (fir), probably Abies
cilicica, demonstrate that the board was fashioned from freshly-cut wood, and identify the inlay substance as a green copper-wax pigment.
Electrostatic potential in crystals of α-boron, γ-boron and boron carbide
Authors: Hübschle Christian B. , van Smaalen Sander 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
An overview is given of the recently proposed method for computation of the electrostatic potential (ESP) of dynamic charge densities derived from multipole models [C. B. Hubschle, S. van Smaalen, J. Appl. Crystallogr.
2017, 50, 1627]. The dynamic ESP is presented for the multipole models of the boron polymorphs α-B12 and γ-B28, and stoichiometric boron carbide B13C2. Minimum values of the ESP are conspiciously equal at approximately −1 electron/Å. Regions with the ESP close to its minimum value form an extended network throughout the crystal structures at locations far away from atoms and bonds. Boron and boron carbide are extended solids containing an infinite network of strong chemical bonds. We have shown that for such solids, the ESP can usefully considered on Hirshfeld surfaces encompassing groups of atoms. Accordingly, we discuss bonding in boron and boron carbide with aid of the ESP on the Hirsfeld surface encompassing a B12 icosahedral cluster. The structure of the ESP corroborates the interpretation of the bonding characteristics previously proposed for α-B12, γ-B28 and B13C2.
Bound States of Light Hydrogen-Like Atoms and the Possibility of Cold Nuclear Transformations
Authors: Kholmetskii A.L. , Yarman T. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
We point out that numerous experimental facts dealing with the observation of nuclear transformations in a condensed matter at room temperature remain totally unexplained till date. In the present article we open up a principal way to understand such phenomena in the framework of pure bound field theory (PBFT) that we developed earlier (e.g. Kholmetskii AL. et al. Eur. Phys. J. Plus 2011;126:33, Eur. Phys. J. Plus 2011;126:35). In this theory, we explicitly take into account the non-radiating nature of the electromagnetic field of quantum bound particles in stationary states, which leads to the corresponding corrections of basic equations of atomic physics, with further elimination of the available subtle deviations between experimental and theoretical data in precise physics of light hydrogen-like atoms. In the present paper we have once more analysed the principal prediction of PBFT, which allows the existence of the second stationary energy state in the bound system “proton plus electron” (next to the usual hydrogen atoms). This new stationary state is characterised by the unusually small averaged radius of about 2α
2
r
B≈5 fm (where r
B is the Bohr radius, and α is the fine structure constant), and a huge (in the atomic scale) value of the binding energy about –255 keV. We named this bound system as the “neutronic hydrogen”, because in many processes of its interaction with matter, it is practically indistinguishable from the neutron. The latter circumstance opens up the principal way to understand numerous puzzling facts of low-temperature nuclear synthesis.

The obtained true electron-phonon coupling parameters α′ in both sign and magnitude are considerably different from the apparent electron-phonon coupling parameters α acquired in the previous paper by considering only the vibrational contribution. It is suggested that differing from the simple expression including only the vibrational contribution (many authors thought that it cannot be used to explain the thermal blue shifts), the complete expression containing both the vibrational and static contributions is effective in the studies of thermal shift (whether red shift or blue shift) and true electron-phonon coupling parameter for a spectral line in crystals.
Studying the reactivity of N-2-(2-aminobenzoyl)-N-phenyl-hydrazinecarbothioamide toward some selected carbonyl compounds
Authors: Mohamed Asmaa H. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The reactivity of N-2-(2-aminobenzoyl)-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide (1) as an electron donor toward several electron-accepting compounds through electron donor-acceptor interaction has been studied. Thus, upon treatment of 1 with either 1,4-naphthoquinone, 2-dicyanomethyleneindan-1,3-dione, or 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone, the reaction proceeds to give thiadiazino[5,4-b]quinazoline, N-phenylcarbamohydrazonothioate, and thiadiazine-5,10-dione, respectively. Also, the reactivity of compound 1 toward some aldehydes and anhydrides was studied. The products were fully characterized by their spectral data. The mechanisms of formation of the products have been rationalized.
Monitoring the Process of Nanocavity Formation on a Monomolecular Level
Authors: Ruff Philip , Dietz Christian , Stark Robert W. , Hess Christian 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Controlling the synthesis of nanostructured surfaces is essential to tailor the properties of functional materials such as catalysts. We report on the synthesis of nanocavities of 1–2 nm dimension on planar Si-wafers by sacrificial nanotemplating and atomic layer deposition (ALD). It is shown that the process of nanocavity formation can be directly monitored on a monomolecular level through imaging with an atomic force microscope (AFM). In particular, by employing the AFM peak force tapping mode the simultaneous mapping of surface topography and tip-surface adhesion forces is accessible, which is useful for the assignment of topographical features and determining the orientation of the template molecules on the wafer surface. Detailed analysis based on the three-dimensional AFM topography allows for a quantification of the template and nanocavity surface coverage. The results are of importance for a detailed understanding of the processes underlying template-based nanocavity formation on oxide surfaces.

Published: May 2018

Background: In experimental settings, remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has shown a positive effect regarding spinal cord protection after local ischemia. In this study, we conducted spinal cord immunohistochemistry to demonstrate the protective effect of RIPC after 24 hours of the regional ischemia. Methods: Twenty piglets were randomized into an RIPC group (n = 10) and a control group (n = 10). The RIPC group underwent transient left hind limb ischemia before systematic left subclavian artery and segmental artery occlusion at the level of the diaphragm. Twenty-four hours later, the thoracic and lumbar spinal cords were harvested, and the oxidative stress markers were immunohistochemically analysed. Results: A total of 18 animals survived the 4-hour follow up (10 in the RIPC group, 8 in the control group) and 14 animals survived the 24-hour follow up (7 in each group). In the single sections of the spinal cord, the antioxidant pathway activation was seen in the RIPC group, as OGG1 and DJ-1/PARK7 activation was higher (P = .038 and P = .047, respectively). Conclusions: The results indicate that the neuroprotective effect of RIPC on the spinal cord after local ischemic insult remains controversial.
A Collection of Transgenic Medaka Strains for Efficient Site-Directed Transgenesis Mediated by phiC31 Integrase
Authors: Ishikawa Tokiro , Ansai Satoshi , Kinoshita Masato , Mori Kazutoshi 
Published: May 2018

AbstractGenetic analysis is facilitated by the efficient production of transgenic strains expressing a DNA of interest as a single copy at a designated chromosomal location. However, technical progress toward this goal in medaka fish (Oryzias latipes), a vertebrate model organism, has been slow. It is well known that phiC31 integrase enables efficient site-directed transgenesis by catalyzing the recombination of an attP DNA motif in a host genome with an attB motif in a targeting vector. This system was pioneered in medaka using the Sleeping Beauty transposon system, and the attP site was established at three chromosomal locations. However, this number appeared insufficient with regard to genetic linkage between the attP-landing site and a genetically modified locus of interest. Here, to establish a collection of transgenic strains of medaka, we introduced an attP motif into the medaka genome using the Ac/Ds maize transposon system and established 12 independent transgenic strains harboring a single copy of the attP motif in at least 11 of the 24 medaka chromosomes. We designed an attB-targeting vector that was integrated efficiently and precisely into the attP-landing site, and with which the DNA of interest was efficiently transmitted to germline cells. Extraneous sequences in the integrants derived from the bacterial backbone of the attB-targeting vector as well as a transgenic fluorescence marker present in the attP-landing site were removable through flippase-mediated recombination. Further, an advanced targeting vector with a heart-specific recombination marker served as a useful tool for easily screening phiC31 integrase-mediated recombinant G0 embryos, leading to the efficient establishment of transgenic strains. Thus, our resources advance genetic research in medaka.
