Shear Friction Characteristics and Modification Factor of Concrete Prepared Using Expanded Bottom Ash and Dredged Soil Granules
Authors: Yang Keun-Hyeok , Lee Kyung-Ho 
Published: October 2019

AbstractThe objective of this study is to assess the shear friction characteristics of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) prepared using artificially expanded bottom ash and dredged soil granules. A total of 37 concrete mixtures were prepared under the classification of three series. In the first and second series, the natural sand content for replacing lightweight fine aggregates and the water-to-cement ratio varied to obtain different densities and compressive strengths of concrete. The third series was designed to estimate the effect of the maximum aggregate size on the friction resistance along the shear crack plane of the monolithic interfaces. The frictional angle of the LWAC tested was formulated as a function of the ratio of the effective tensile and compressive strengths of concrete through the expansion of the integrated mathematical models proposed by Kwon et al., based on the upper-bound theorem of concrete plasticity. When predicting the shear friction strength of LWAC, the present mathematical model exhibits relatively good accuracy, yielding the mean and standard deviation of the ratios between experiments and predictions of 1.06 and 0.14, respectively, whereas the empirical equations proposed by the AASHTO provision and Mattock underestimated the results. Ultimately, an advanced modification factor for shear design of LWAC is proposed as a function of the density and compressive strength of concrete and the maximum size of aggregates.
Toward a test of the “Law of Crime Concentration” in Japanese cities: a geographical crime analysis in Tokyo and Osaka
Authors: Amemiya Mamoru , Ohyama Tomoya 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This brief report aims to reveal crime concentration at the district level in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan, two cities characterized by low crime rates. Eight types of property crimes that occurred between 2008 and 2017 in Tokyo and Osaka and had been aggregated by the census enumeration district were analyzed using the Gini coefficient based on the Poisson-Gamma method. The results indicated three patterns. First, crime concentration was identified. Second, the degree of concentration depended upon crime type. Commercial burglary was the most concentrated crime type, and theft from vehicle and theft from vending machine were the most dispersed. Third, crime concentration patterns either remained stable or became more concentrated over time. Additionally, while theft of bicycle was found to display stable concentration levels over time, the concentration level of purse snatching was fluid. On the basis of the results, this report discusses the possibility of establishing the “Law of Crime Concentration” (LCC) in two Japanese cities.
How do healthcare practitioners read electrocardiograms? A dual-process model of electrocardiogram interpretation
Authors: Davies Alan , Mueller Julia , Horseman Laura , Splendiani Bruno , Hill Elspeth , Vigo Markel , Harper Simon , Jay Caroline 
Published: October 2019

Background/Aims: This article aims to improve the understanding of the applied cognitive processes when interpreting electrocardiograms in clinical practice. It will do this by examining the self-reported approach practitioners take to interpret any barriers they encounter.Methods: This was a qualitative study in which medical practitioners, who routinely interpret electrocardiograms (n=31), were interviewed. The semi-structured interviews covered: their experience of interpretation; use of a system; pitfalls; changes to approach over time. An inductive thematic analysis was used to identify commonly occurring themes. A further set of practitioners (n=31), completed surveys that concerned their approach to an interpretation and use of interpretation frameworks/systems.Results: Practitioners find it easier to interpret electrocardiograms as they gain experience, but the process remains difficult. Barriers to successful interpretation include artefacts altering the waveform, lack of familiarity with the presenting condition, stress/panic at the prospect of making an inaccurate judgement, and overconfidence in one's interpretation abilities.Conclusions: The results support a dual-process system model that is developed with experience and enhances performance. Over time, experienced practitioners become able to move fluidly between a more formal systematic method and an experience-driven pattern recognition system. Potential errors that may arise from a reliance on pattern recognition (e.g. missing details) can be mitigated by using a systematic approach.
Isolipan (dexfenfluramine) and its place in the treatment of obesity
Authors: Ginzburg M. M. , Kozupitsa G. S. 
Published: October 2019

Obesity is the most common disease in the population of economically developed countries. 16-25% of the inhabitants of these countries have a body weight exceeding the norm by more than 15%. The increase in the incidence of obesity over the past 20 years is evident. The connection between obesity and such formidable diseases as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and type II diabetes is well known.
At the same time, the current state of the problem of obesity therapy is far from perfect. Most patients, realizing the need for treatment, nevertheless cannot start it because of fear of the need to follow a half-starved diet for a long time. And although drugs that can reduce hunger, belonging to the group of amphetamine derivatives (ampheramone, fepranone, desopimon, etc.), have been known for more than 40 years, their use is limited due to frequent side effects (agitation, insomnia, palpitations, increased blood pressure, the development of drug dependence) and a large number of contraindications (hypertension, impaired carbohydrate tolerance, coronary heart disease, etc.).
In this regard, the appearance of anorexigenic drugs of central serotonergic action, phenofluramine and later isolipan, IL (dexfenfluramine), which do not give such pronounced side effects and have relatively few contraindications, caused great interest. IL is a dextrorotatory isomer of fenfluramine and determines the anorexigenic effect of the latter.
Theoretical Study of CO2 Absorption into Novel Reactive 1DMA2P Solvent in Split-flow Absorber-stripper Unit: Mass Transfer Performance and Kinetic Analysis
Authors: Saidi Majid 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
In the present study, the mass transfer performance of CO2 absorption into 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol (1DMA2P) as a novel amino alcohol solvent has been theoretically investigated in a split-flow absorber-stripper unit. The mass transfer performance has been presented in terms of CO2 absorption flux and overall mass transfer coefficient (KGav) by simultaneous considering of chemical reactions and mass transfer phenomenon. The developed comprehensive mathematical model has been validated based on related experimental data in literature. The impact of main operation parameters including liquid feed temperature, amine concentration, liquid velocity and CO2 loading were evaluated. The presented results indicated that increasing the liquid feed temperature, amine concentration and liquid flow rate improves the overall mass transfer coefficient. Also, the CO2 absorption performance of conventional and alternative amines such as monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), piperazine (PZ), 4-(diethylamino)-2-butanol (DEAB) and 1DMA2P have been investigated and compared in order to provide guidelines about effective screening of solvents. The modeling results indicated that the KGav for CO2 absorption into different solution can be ranked as follows: PZ>MEA>DEA>DEAB>1DMA2P>MDEA>TEA.

On the embodied meaning of emotional responses to music: A semiotic perspective
Authors: Cantor Robert M. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractPrevious attempts to find meaning in emotional responses to music often begin with analysis of dynamic tonal patterns, with observation of the emotional behavior of listeners or with self-reports of emotional feelings. In this study, we begin with a somewhat detailed description of physical processes in the human auditory system that lead to the activation of processes in the autonomic nervous system, which produce embodied emotional responses to environmental challenges. We then propose an answer to the question: Why were some of the same embodied responses that were originally adapted to meet the challenges of self-preservation and self-perpetuation in the course of human evolution coopted to serve as responses to perceived dynamic patterns in music? We find that a likely answer to this question involves uncertainties in the possible outcomes of antecedent or consequent musical events.

Abstract
This study investigated the removal of phenol from steel industry wastewater by three dimensional electrochemical (TDE) process using CoFe2O4 nanobiocomposite based activated carbon in the presence of H2O2 (EC-CoFe2O4@AC-H2O2). In this study, CoFe2O4 nanobiocomposite-foundation activated carbon (CoFe2O4@AC) was used as microelectrode, adsorbent, and activator for peroxide hydrogen. The removal efficiency of phenol and COD was investigated through the parameters of pH, contact time, CoFe2O4@AC dosage, current density, and H2O2 concentration. The highest removal rates of phenol and COD were >99% and 98%, respectively. Also, steel plant wastewater under the optimal conditions of pH = 6.5, current density = 15 mA cm−2, contact time = 25 min, H2O2 concentration of 1.0 mM, and CoFe2O4@AC dose = 0.3 g L−1. Kinetic analysis revealed that the adsorption experimental data was best fitted by the pseudo-first-order model.

Published: October 2019

Background: Today with industry growth, hazards are increasing. The most important parts of these industries are human resources and employees, that face with many various hazards. Therefore, in order to protect and increase the productivity these hazards must be identified and analyzed to be controlled. Methods: The present study focused on hazard identification and risk assessment in spinning sector of a textile industry as one of the important and strategic industries by using HAZAN method. For data gathering, different methods including HAZAN worksheet, risk detecting checklist, walking, talking, process plots and documents were used, and then risk assessment was carried out. Results: The finding represented 102 risks in the production line. Most of the risks were found in ring section (n=33), Flyer (n=26), Autoconer (n=18), Tightening (n=15) and Packing (n=10) respectively. 20.59% of these risks were 2nd rank (undesirable), 16.67% were 3rd rank (acceptable if controlled) and 62.74% were 4th rank (acceptable). In addition, high-risk jobs were feeding the empty bobbin during the shift and bobbin handling from the Autoconer unit. Also, analyses were performed based on the risk assessment method and statistical tests were not required. Conclusion: The 4th rank risk was the largest group that’s acceptable. It is notable that 2nd risk rank should be turned into 3rd risk rank in reliable time. For 3rd risk rank making sure that existing control is in place is sufficient. For making a safe work environment and increasing productivity, minimizing risk by safety training and other measures are useful.

Published: October 2019

Background:Asbestos fibers are one of the hazardous air pollutants in high-traffic areas of cities. This study was conducted during summer 2016 with the aim of determining the concentration and type of asbestos fibers in the air of high-traffic areas of Zahedan, Iran. Methods: In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, 4 high-traffic and 2 traffic-free areas of Zahedan were chosen. Ambient air samples were collected according to the NIOSH 7400 method, with a flow rate of 2 l/m and 4 hours per day. The asbestos fiber in the samples were analyzed with the use of Phase-Contrast optical Microscopy (PCM) and Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM). Results:The mean and standard deviation of asbestos contamination density in high-traffic areas were 0.0012 (0.0004) f/cc and 0.0012, respectively, which were higher than the threshold limit value (TLV). In traffic-free areas with mean and standard deviation of 0.0003 ± 0.0003 f/cc the asbestos concentration was lower than the allowed limits. To check the normality of data Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used (p< 0.05). The results of Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there is a meaningful difference between the means of the two measured groups (p< 0.001). The types of asbestos fibers based on EDS spectrums and electron microscope images were actinolite, tremolite, and chrysotile. Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicated that the concentration of asbestos fibers in the sampleswas higher than the WHO standards for ambient air (0.00005 PCM f/ml). The use of asbestos fibers in car brake and clutch, as well as in asbestos cement sheet and insulation in buildings are among the most important sources of air pollution in the city.

Based on data from observation and interview with lecturer who teaches mathematics course on the subject under study, it was found that students' mathematical communication ability is still low. This study aims the students’ mathematical communication ability through Concept Attainment Model learning. The method in this study is two groups randomized subject post-test only. The number of subjects in this study were 82 students. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Levene test, t test, ANOVA one and two-way were used to analyse the data. The results of this study showed that (1) there is difference grade on the student’s mathematical communication ability between experimental group and conventional group as a whole, (2) there is no difference on the students’ mathematical communication ability of experimental classes based on their Prior mathematical knowledge (PMK); (3) there is no interaction between the learning that is used with the students’ prior mathematical knowledge on the students’ mathematical communication ability. The concept attainment model provides a better influence on students’ mathematical communication ability, it is also necessary to see the influence of the concept attainment model on students' high-level mathematical thinking ability.
Accounting Comparability and Corporate Innovative Efficiency
Authors: Chircop Justin , Collins Daniel W. , Hass Lars Helge , Nguyen Nhat (Nate) Q. 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACT
We predict that a firm's greater accounting comparability with its industry peers facilitates its learning from those peer firms' research and development (R&D) investments, allowing that firm to have greater innovative efficiency. We estimate accounting comparability using pro forma capitalized R&D earnings that link lagged R&D expenditures to future profitability employing the Almon (1965) distributed lag model. We find that greater accounting comparability leads to enhanced ability to predict future cash flows generated by R&D investments of peer firms. In the cross-section, we observe that the relation between accounting comparability and innovative efficiency is stronger if peer firms exhibit higher accounting (accrual) quality and are themselves successful innovators. In sum, this study shows that a shared qualitative characteristic of accounting, namely, accounting comparability, is positively associated with innovative efficiency.
