Authors: Lu Yue , Wang Gang , Liang Zhuangdian , Sun Jian , Gu Yu , Tang Zhiyong 
Published: September 2018

AbstractFractal theory, with its novel architectures inspired by nature, provides some novel concepts for smart reactor design. Here, researches on the applications of fractal theory to micro-reactor design are reviewed, in term of its high surface area-to-volume ratio, rapid and direct numbering-up, safety, and precise control. In addition, two designs of fractal micro-reactor are introduced as typical examples. First, the H-type fractal structure is considered in the context of the design of a double-plate micro-reactor, which is used for photocatalytic reactions of CO2. Second, applications of fractal Hilbert curves are considered in the design of channel structures for gas-liquid reactions. These two fractal micro-reactors can be fabricated via 3D printing technology and used for CO2conversion under mild conditions.
Gas-Liquid Phase Recirculation in Bubble Column Reactors: Development of a Hybrid Model Based on Local CFD – Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS)
Authors: Rezakazemi Mashallah , Shirazian Saeed 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The Euler–Euler method and soft computing methods are recently utilized for the purpose of bubbly flow simulation and evolution of the dispersed and continuous phase in a two-phase reactor. Joining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) method can enable the researchers to avoid several runs for heavy numerical methods (multidimensional Euler–Euler) to optimize fluid conditions. This overview can also help the researchers to carefully analyze fluid conditions and categorize their huge number of data in their artificial neural network nodes and avoid a complex non-structure CFD mesh. In addition, it can provide a neural geometry without limitation of an increasing mesh number in the fluid domain. In this study, gas and liquid circulation were considered as one of the main CFD factors in the scale-up of reactors used as an output parameter for prediction tool (ANFIS method) in different dimensions. This study shows that a combination of ANFIS and CFD methods provides the non-discrete domain in various dimensions and makes a smart tool to locally predict multiphase flow. The integration of numerical calculation and smart methods also shows that there is a great agreement between CFD results and ANFIS output depending on different dimensions.
Measuring the optical permittivity of two-dimensional materials without a priori knowledge of electronic transitions
Authors: Jung Gwang-Hun , Yoo SeokJae , Park Q-Han 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
We propose a deterministic method to measure the optical permittivity of two-dimensional (2D) materials without a priori knowledge of the electronic transitions over the spectral window of interest. Using the thin-film approximation, we show that the ratio of reflection coefficients for s and p polarization can give a unique solution to the permittivity of 2D materials within the measured spectral window. The uniqueness and completeness of our permittivity measurement method do not require a priori knowledge of the electronic transitions of a given material. We experimentally demonstrate that the permittivity of monolayers of MoS2, WS2, and WSe2 in the visible frequency range can be accurately obtained by our method. We believe that our method can provide fast and reliable measurement of the optical permittivity of newly discovered 2D materials.

Published: September 2018

Abstract
Two molecules, each including tris-2-amino-ethyleneamine (tren), have been produced using a Schiff’s base condensation and long-chain, aliphatic aldehydes. The syntheses are straightforward and can be run in air at ambient temperature. The ability of these molecules to complex with metal ions makes them good candidates for water remediation. The ability of these ligands to hold metal ions in 0.03 M non-aqueous solutions was unexpected. Their syntheses and characterization are discussed.

Published: September 2018

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) are known as intrinsic radiolabeling agents and offer a fast and reliable approach to deliver theranostic agents into targeted organs. Radiolabeled amorphous silica nanoparticles are of great interest to radiation oncology communities. In order to improve the performance of these nano materials in cancer diagnosis and treatment, their inherent properties, such as surface area and the ability to accumulate in cancer cells, should be enhanced. Pyridine functionalized mesoporous silica MCM-41 is known as a potential anticancer-drug delivery system with high suface area. In thiswork, in order to produce an image-guided drug delivery system for diagnostic applications, [68Ga] radionuclide was grafted on pyridine functionalized MCM-41. The nanoparticles were assessed with atomic force microscopy (AFM), paper chromatography, X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, CHN and TGA/DTA analyses. The pharmacokinetic profile evaluation of the radiolabeled nano silica, [68Ga]-Py-Butyl@MCM-41, was done in Fibrosarcoma tumor-bearing mice. This labeled nanocomposite with appropriate blood circulation in body, high structural stability, high tumor/blood ID/g% ratio and fast excretion from the body can be proposed as an efficient nano engineered composite for upcoming tumor targeting/imaging nanotechnology-based applications.
Linguistic violence and the “body to come”: The performativity of hate speech in J. Derrida and J. Butler
Authors: Ponzio Julia 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThis text analyzes the question of linguistic violence in J. Derrida and in J. Butler and shows how this question implies a consideration of the relation between language and body. The starting point is Derrida’s critic of Austin’s theory of speech acts. Through this critic Derrida establishes a relation between speech acts and writing. This connection brings to the fore the importance of the iterability as a structural feature of speech acts. The iterability becomes fundamental in Butler’s analysis of hate speech in Excitable Speech. In this book the iterability is interpreted as the ritual character of the hate speech, which reveals its political dimension. Comparing Butler and Derrida’s ideas of speech act, I try in this text to make emerge the idea of a textual body as the possibility of the resistance to the linguistic violence.
Parameterschätzung und Cramér-Rao-Schranken bei der berührungslosen Temperaturmessung
Authors: Exel Dominik , Zagar Bernhard , Schuster Stefan , Ganglberger Vera , Reisinger Johann 
Published: September 2018

Zusammenfassung
Eine Herausforderung bei der berührungslosen Temperaturmessung an metallischen Oberflächen ist der veränderliche Emissionsgrad. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass dieser Emissionsgrad meistens unbekannt und nur schwer bestimmbar ist. Dieser Beitrag zeigt eine Methode auf, wie man aus Messdaten einer Multispektralkamera die Temperatur eines Objektes mit geringer Unsicherheit schätzen kann, ohne dabei den Emissionsgrad explizit zu kennen. Es werden zwei Modelle für den Emissionsgrad hinsichtlich ihrer Modellfehler bei der Temperaturmessung vergleichend untersucht. Basierend auf diesen Modellen und dem Planck’schen Strahlungsgesetz ergibt sich jeweils ein Separable Least-Squares-Problem über das die Objekttemperatur geschätzt werden kann. Dabei kann es sinnvoll sein, den unbekannten spektralen Emissionsgrad über einen mittleren Emissionsgrad in den Modellen zu berücksichtigen. Weiters werden die Cramér-Rao-Schranken für die Temperaturschätzung angegeben und mit realen Messdaten und Simulationen verifiziert.
Analyzing ideological complexes from the perspective of modalities
Authors: Menard Rusten 
Published: September 2018

AbstractModalities are fundamental in building, maintaining and contesting ideological systems. While modalities have been described as resources for constructing both representational and interpersonal aspects of reality and truth, the analytical focus has been on modalities as a relationship between authors, their texts and their audiences, i.e. on their interpersonal functions. Informed by a framework on modalities for discourse analyses of values, Hodge and Kress’s theory on ideological complexes and Fairclough’s three-dimensional conception of discourse, in this paper I develop a method for examining modalities as resources for building dominant and counter discourses. I use example excerpts that come from my research on Finnish equality discourses to build and demonstrate the method. The example texts were written by people who are differently positioned in relation to salient norms and institutions on gender/sex and sociability: people contacted through a national random sample, people diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, and people with transgender experiences. The method allows not only for systematic examinations of how modalities function in ordering power-imbalanced interpersonal relations but also attends to an underexplored dimension dealing with how modalities work in ideological representation.

Abstract
Ribeiro, AS, Schoenfeld, BJ, dos Santos, L, Nunes, JP, Tomeleri, CM, Cunha, PM, Sardinha, LB, and Cyrino, ES. Resistance training improves a cellular health parameter in obese older women: a randomized controlled trial. J Strength Cond Res 34(10): 2996–3002, 2020—Phase angle (PhA) is a viable indicator of cellular health, with higher values reflecting better cellularity, cell membrane integrity, and cell function. Adaptive responses to resistance training (RT) on PhA may be important in obese older people. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of RT on PhA in obese older women. Thirty-three obese older women (68.1 ± 5.7 years, 71.6 ± 10.1 kg, 154.5 ± 6.7 cm, 30.0 ± 4.1 kg·m−2, and 45.0 ± 6.0% body fat) were randomly allocated into 1 of 2 groups: a training group that performed the RT program (TG, n = 18) or a nonexercise control group (CG, n = 15). The whole-body RT consisted of an 8-week RT program involving 8 exercises performed for 3 sets of 8–12 repetitions 3 times a week. Anthropometric, body fat and fat-free mass, PhA, total body water (TBW), intracellular water (ICW), and extracellular water compartments were performed at before and after training. After the intervention period, the TG presented greater increases (p < 0.05) than CG for fat-free mass (TG = +1.3% and CG = −0.3%), TBW (TG = +2.0% and CG = −1.7%), ICW (TG = +3.1% and CG = −1.9%), and PhA (TG = +3.4% and CG = −1.4%), and lower values for percentage of body fat (TG = −1.3% and CG = +0.9%) and bioimpedance resistance (TG = −4.6% and CG = +2.3%). Our results suggest that 8 weeks of RT improves PhA—a cellular health parameter—in obese older women.

AbstractLayer, JS, Grenz, C, Hinshaw, TJ, Smith, DT, Barrett, SF, and Dai, B. Kinetic analysis of isometric back squats and isometric belt squats.J Strength Cond Res32(12): 3301–3309, 2018—Belt squats seem to provide an alternative to back squats. However, it is not clear how musculoskeletal loading differs between the two. This study compared lower extremity and low-back kinetics during isometric back squats and isometric belt squats. Sixteen men (age: 22.6 ± 3.4 years; height: 1.74 ± 0.11 m; mass: 82.0 ± 5.6 kg) and 10 women (age: 21.5 ± 2.5 years; height: 1.64 ± 0.10 m; mass: 68.9 ± 7.1 kg) performed isometric back squats and belt squats at 4 squat depths. Joint resultant moments were calculated from kinematic and ground reaction force data. Linear interpolation was used to estimate peak vertical forces and joint moments at a 45° thigh segment angle. Subjects increased peak forces, ankle moments, and knee moments but decreased low-back moments from back to belt squats (p≤ 0.023). Hip moments did not significantly change between 2 squats. Subjects demonstrating smaller ankle and knee moments during back squats showed greater increases in these moments from back to belt squats (p≤ 0.012,R2≤ 0.24). Subjects whose back squats were characterized by greater low-back moments displayed greater decreases in low-back moments from back to belt squats (p< 0.001,R2= 0.98). Compared with isometric back squats, isometric belt squats may provide a similar or greater external loading for the musculoskeletal system of the lower extremities while reducing external spinal loading. Belt squats may be considered by individuals with upper-body or spinal injuries and those displaying excessive external back moments.

Abstract
Hammami, M, Gaamouri, N, Aloui, G, Shephard, RJ, and Chelly, MS. Effects of combined plyometric and short sprint with change-of-direction training on athletic performance of male U15 handball players. J Strength Cond Res 33(3): 662–675, 2019—This study examined the effects of combined plyometric and change-of-direction training (CPT) on selected measures of performance (repeated-sprint T-test [RSTT], sprint performance [5, 10, 20, and 30 m], change-of-direction tests [modified Illinois test and T-half test], squat jump, countermovement jump, countermovement jump with aimed arms 5-jump test, Y-balance test, Stork balance test, and 20-m shuttle run) in male U15 handball players. Players were randomly divided between experimental (n = 14; age: 14.5 ± 0.3 years) and control (n = 14; age: 14.6 ± 0.2 years) groups. All trial participants trained and played matches together, but for 8 weeks in the latter part of the season, the experimental group replaced the tactical part of their normal regimen by a biweekly course of CPT. This induced significant increases in sprint performance relative to controls (p = 0.006, effect size [ES] = 0.135, 8.7%; p=<0.001, ES = 0.214, 7.4%; p = 0.022, ES = 0.096, 7.2%; and p = 0.032, ES = 0.085, 8.9% over distances of 5, 10, 20, and 30 m, respectively). The modified Illinois test and T-half test also showed significant gains for experimental subjects (p < 0.025; ES = 0.205, 4.2% and p < 0.001; ES = 0.093, 5.3%, respectively), as did vertical and horizontal jumps. However, there were no significant changes of RSTT, 20-m shuttle run, or balance. Nevertheless, we conclude that the current CPT is effective in enhancing sprint performance, change-of-direction tests, and vertical and horizontal jumping and thus it can be commended to male U15 handball players as a useful option for improving important components of their physical performance.

Published: September 2018

Objective: Genetics is a known factor in the susceptibility to cardiovascular disease. In this study, polymorphisms of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) (T876C and G894T) and hypoxiainducible factor 1 (HIF1) (rs10873142 and rs41508050) in coronary artery disease were compared with healthy subjects, and the relationship between these mutations and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) was assessed.
Methods: Blood samples were collected from 138 patients with obstructive CAD and 115 healthy subjects. Polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), Griess test, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to measure serum nitric oxide (NO) and paraoxonase antioxidant. Independent t-test was used to examine the relationship between variables.
Results: There was no significant difference between genotype frequency in healthy subjects and patients for eNOS and HIF1 alpha polymorphisms. There was no significant difference between these polymorphisms and age, sex, hypertension and lipidemia. Furthermore, the difference in mean serum levels of NO in different genotypes of the G894T gene was not significant between the patient and control groups. However, the difference in mean serum NO levels in different genotypes of the T786C gene was significant between the patient and control groups such that minimum and maximum serum NO levels were observed in individuals bearing TT and TC genotypes, respectively. The difference in mean serum NO levels was higher in patients than in controls, and was statistically significant.
Conclusions: The results suggest that the T876C polymorphism could be associated with low serum NO level and implicated as a risk factor for developing CAD. Furthermore, our findings indicate that genetics may not be involved in susceptibility to CAD; however, further comprehensive studies are required.
