Authors: Saji Viswanathan S. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry is one of the exciting branches of chemistry where non-covalent interactions between molecules and the ensuing supramolecular structures have been studied for various applications. The present review provides a comprehensive outlook on the applications and potentials of supramolecular chemistry in corrosion and biofouling prevention. Reported works associating supramolecular chemistry with corrosion are systematically discussed under two sections: (i) surface coatings and (ii) corrosion inhibitors that include supramolecular polymers, host-guest inclusion compounds, organic-inorganic hybrid materials, and supramolecular structures of graphene, crown ethers, self-assembled monolayers, etc. Different strategies for making antifouling surfaces based on block copolymers/gel systems, host-guest systems, and metal-organic structures are briefed. Cyclodextrin and mesoporous silica-based host-guest systems are extensively discussed, as they are the most prominent materials of current research interest. Future potentials for developments are presented. The review is expected to be beneficial to enhance supramolecular chemistry-related research and development in corrosion and biofouling prevention.
Design of a Robust Observer with Super-Twisting Algorithm for Simultaneous Concentration Estimation and Faults Reconstruction in a CSTR
Authors: Boudjellal M. , Illoul R. 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThis paper deals with the problem of simultaneous concentration and faults estimations of a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) subject to unknown inputs. We propose a combination of two robust nonlinear observers for state estimation and fault reconstruction without any use of a linear approximation of the CSTR dynamic model. Based on the high-gain observer, the proposed scheme can guarantee the asymptotic estimation of the concentration inside the reactor, while, a robust term is added to the nominal plant on the basis of the super-twisting algorithm for fault reconstruction. The stability analysis is proved mathematically using the Lyapunov theory. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed scheme are illustrated via simulations.

Abstract
In this work, near-infrared spectroscopy coupled the classical PLS and variable selection algorithms; synergy interval-PLS, backward interval-PLS and genetic algorithm-PLS for rapid measurement of the antioxidant activity of Chinese dates. The chemometric analysis of antioxidant activity assays was performed. The built models were investigated using correlation coefficients of calibration and prediction; root mean square error of prediction, root mean square error of cross-validation and residual predictive deviation (RPD). The correlation coefficient for calibration and prediction sets and RPD values ranged from 0.8503 to 0.9897, 0.8463 to 0.9783 and 1.86 to 4.88, respectively. In addition, variable selection algorithms based on efficient information extracted from acquired spectra were superior to classical PLS. The overall results revealed that near-infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometric algorithms could be used for rapid quantification of antioxidant content in Chinese dates samples.
A 3-Dimensional Body Fitted Simulation of Heat and Mass Transfer in Rice Kernel during Hot Air Drying Process
Authors: Zhao Lijuan , Yang Junhong , Du Tengfei , Wu Zhonghua 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
A precise geometry model of the rice kernel is necessary to predict the moisture content and temperature distribution, or even drying stress in the kernel. In this study, a three-dimensional body fitted model of brown rice (Chunyou 84) kernel was developed by using image processing method, and the COMSOL Multiphysics software was used to simulate the drying process of the brown rice and compared with the experimental results. The maximum deviation between the simulated and experimental results was about 8%. During the drying process, the temperature gradient in the rice kernel only occurred a few minutes at the initial drying period (0–6.5 min, at 45 °C), while the moisture content gradient lasted in the whole drying process. Simulation and experimental results showed that the hot air temperature was one main factor governing the drying process of the brown rice.

Abstract
The generalized nonlocal nonlinear Hirota (GNNH) equation has been widely concerned, it can be regarded as the generalization of the nonlocal Schrödinger equation, and can be reduced to a nonlocal Hirota equation. In this paper, we mainly study a GNNH equation and its determinant representation of the N-fold Darboux transformation. Then we derive some novel exact solutions including the breather wave solitons, bright solitons, some characteristics of solitary wave and interactions are considered. In particularly, the dynamic features of one-soliton, two-soliton solutions and the elastic interactions between the two solitons are displayed. We find that unlike the local case, the q(x,t) and

Defying chronology: Crosslinguistic variation in reverse order reports
Authors: Vanek Norbert , Mertins Barbara 
Published: March 2019

AbstractMuch of how we sequence events in speech mirrors the order of their natural occurrence. While event chains that conform to chronology may be easier to process, languages offer substantial freedom to manipulate temporal order. This article explores to what extent digressions from chronology are attributable to differences in grammatical aspect systems. We compared reverse order reports (RORs) in event descriptions elicited from native speakers of four languages, two with (Spanish, Modern Standard Arabic [MSA]) and two without grammatical aspect (German, Hungarian). In the Arabic group, all participants were highly competent MSA speakers from Palestine and Jordan. Standardized frequency counts showed significantly more RORs expressed by non-aspect groups than by aspect groups. Adherence to chronology changing as a function of contrast in grammatical aspect signal that languages without obligatory marking of ongoingness may provide more flexibility for event reordering. These findings bring novel insights about the dynamic interplay between language structure and temporal sequencing in the discourse stream.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
The genus Galea Meyen, 1833 includes at least five species of terrestrial, diurnal and herbivorous cavies that occupy grasslands and rocky scrub areas at both high and low elevations in South America. According to the available molecular and morphological data, Galea comes Thomas, 1919 is restricted to highland areas above 2000 m in southern Bolivia and northwestern Argentina. Its distributional range as well as its morphological distinctiveness from other closely related species (Galea leucoblephara and Galea musteloides) is poorly documented. Using both qualitative and quantitative morphological traits, we provided an emended diagnosis for G. comes. In addition, we added six new locality records to its known distribution.
Topological plasmonic edge states in a planar array of metallic nanoparticles
Authors: Honari-Latifpour Mostafa , Yousefi Leila 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Photonic topological insulators (PTIs) are electromagnetic structures with highly robust unidirectional edge states, originating from their nontrivial bulk band topology. Here, we propose a plasmonic PTI that supports highly confined one-way edge states capable of transporting deep subwavelength optical frequency plasmons through arbitrary paths without back-scattering. The structure consists of a simple planar array of coupled plasmonic nanoparticles arranged in a perturbed honeycomb lattice that exhibits nontrivial band topology. The operation frequency of the emergent edge states is shown to be independent of the lattice constant, allowing for the miniaturization of the structure. As a high-frequency PTI with a simple and planar design, this structure is compatible with well-established integrated nanofabrication technologies and may find application in planar, compact, and topologically robust integrated nanophotonic devices.
Karl Barths aktualistische Ontologie: Ihre Substanzgrammatik des Seins und Prozessgrammatik des Werdens
Authors: Tseng Shao Kai 
Published: March 2019

Zusammenfassung
Dieser Artikel bietet eine Untersuchung des Begriffs „Sein-in-der-Tat“, der in der neueren englischsprachigen Sekundärliteratur Barths „aktualistische Ontologie“ genannt wird. Ziel dieses Aufsatzes ist es, die zugrundeliegenden Grammatiken dieser Ontologie durch eine gründliche Untersuchung von Schlüsselbegriffen wie „Bestimmung“, „Natur“, „Wesen“ und „Sein“ zu rekonstruieren. Barth stimmt teilweise mit Hegel gegen die substantialistische Tradition überein, dass Gott ein lebendiges Subjekt und keine abstrakte Substanz ist. Gottes Subjektivität ist für Barth aber unaufhebbar und also bereits absolut, d. h. bereits an-und-für-sich. Seine Beibehaltung der traditionellen Grammatik des lateinischen Substantialismus zeigt jedoch, dass er den klassischen Theismus und damit einen gewissen Substanzbegriff dialektisch in seine aktualistische Ontologie integriert hat, zusammen mit seiner Annahme von Hegels Einsichten. Diese Ontologie wird durch die Grammatik einer grundsätzlich chalzedonischen Dialektik reguliert: das Werden ist kein Abzug und keine Veränderung, sondern ein Zusatz zum Wesen. Im Fall von Barths theologischer Ontologie steht diese Dialektik in scharfem Gegensatz zu Hegels logischer Dreieinigkeit vom An-sich-Sein, Für-sich-Sein und An-und-für-sich-Sein des Geistes. Barths theologische Ontologie ist doch chalzedonisch: Gott-an-und-für-sich wurde Gott-für-uns, ohne jemals aufzuhören, Gott-an-und-für-sich zu sein.
A Philosophy of Love: Henry More’s Moral Philosophy
Authors: Bryson James 
Published: March 2019

Summary
This article is the first systematic philosophical analysis of Henry More’s ethics as set out in his Enchiridion Ethicum (1668). It builds on the insights of scholars who have identified love as a key concept in the thought of the Cambridge Platonists. It contends that More’s ethics ought to be read as a philosophy of love, integrating the rational and spiritual, intellect and will, and the divine and human through an appeal to a prayerful logic of love. Special attention is paid to More’s so-called moral axioms – what he calls Moral Noemata – which develop a logic that aims at the purification of the soul; they do not, pace modern scholars, equate moral and mathematical certainty, nor do they pave the way for the emergence of a secular morality. This article addresses the implications of More’s claim that the passions are good and how they are made virtuous. It shows how his idea of free will depends on the virtue of humility and the soul’s participation in divine wisdom. This article also includes important analysis of “Right Reason” and the “Boniform Faculty”, doctrines central to More’s ethics, and how they meet when the soul falls in love with God.
Confidence through the semiotic process
Authors: Borges Priscila Monteiro 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Peirce’s semiotics is a formal doctrine of signs. As such, semiotics “would be concerned, in part, to determine the conditions for counting anything as true” (Liszka 1996: 2). Sometimes, semiotics is reduced to its first branch, speculative grammar, which concerns the classification of signs. However, critic and methodeutic are fundamental to guarantee the accuracy of the semiotic process. Critic gives “the conditions which determine the reasoning to be secure” (c.1902, CP 2.1) and methodeutic is the “study of the necessary conditions of the transmission of meaning by signs from mind to mind” (c.1897, CP 1.444). When we observe the system of sixty-six sign classes, we can find a method that provides confidence in the reasoning process. That means we can find classes of signs that represent critic and methodeutic in this system. The set of symbolic signs are the core of this process. In this paper, I will examine the interpretants of symbolic signs in order to describe the production of interpretants that increase the level of confidence in reasoning, contributing to the evolution of thought. The system of sixty-six sign classes provides a more complex set of interpretants, which might show the relation between the three branches of semiotics.

Abstract

Background
Autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) is the platelet concentration obtained from thrombocytes in the plasma. During the healing process, the platelets are activated and then release the granules which stimulate the inflammatory cascade and healing process. Platelet derived growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor β (TGFβ), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) are valuable markers used for cell regeneration. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential effects of PRP treatment on the neomucosa formation, a potential technique for increasing the intestinal surface area in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS).

Materials and methods
Thirty-two male Wistar-Hannover rats were divided into: sham, control, PRP-treated and last group for PRP preparation (n=8). Plasma levels of VEGF, TGFβ, EGF and FGF were quantified by ELISA. En-bloc resection of anastomotic part was performed and stained with hematoxylin-eosin.

Results
VEGF, FGF, TGFβ and EGF levels were found significantly increased in PRP-treated group compared to others (p<0.001). Neomucosa formation was observed in experimental groups but the area increased significantly in PRP group, compared to other groups (p<0.001).

Conclusion
PRP therapy in gastrointestinal anastomoses is truly beneficial and surgically applicable treatment in SBS patients.
Cleaning Genotype Data from Diversity Outbred Mice

Published: March 2019

Abstract
Data cleaning is an important first step in most statistical analyses, including efforts to map the genetic loci that contribute to variation in quantitative traits. Here we illustrate approaches to quality control and cleaning of array-based genotyping data for multiparent populations (experimental crosses derived from more than two founder strains), using MegaMUGA array data from a set of 291 Diversity Outbred (DO) mice. Our approach employs data visualizations that can reveal problems at the level of individual mice or with individual SNP markers. We find that the proportion of missing genotypes for each mouse is an effective indicator of sample quality. We use microarray probe intensities for SNPs on the X and Y chromosomes to confirm the sex of each mouse, and we use the proportion of matching SNP genotypes between pairs of mice to detect sample duplicates. We use a hidden Markov model (HMM) reconstruction of the founder haplotype mosaic across each mouse genome to estimate the number of crossovers and to identify potential genotyping errors. To evaluate marker quality, we find that missing data and genotyping error rates are the most effective diagnostics. We also examine the SNP genotype frequencies with markers grouped according to their minor allele frequency in the founder strains. For markers with high apparent error rates, a scatterplot of the allele-specific probe intensities can reveal the underlying cause of incorrect genotype calls. The decision to include or exclude low-quality samples can have a significant impact on the mapping results for a given study. We find that the impact of low-quality markers on a given study is often minimal, but reporting problematic markers can improve the utility of the genotyping array across many studies.
Bariátriai műtétekre való pszichológiai alkalmasság felmérése

Published: March 2019

Abstract: Nowadays, the number of bariatric surgery for treating morbid obesity is significant. There is strong evidence about the influence of mental state (depression, anxiety, eating disorder, etc.) on patient’s cooperation with the medical team and the outcome, and on the short or long-term effectiveness of surgery. However, no protocol or recommendation exist for screening patients before bariatric procedures in Hungary. Thus, even if the surgeon or the hospital requires psychological expertise, neither doctors are familiar with the expectable results of such an expertise, nor psychologists know exactly what the most important areas are to talk through with patients. This article shortly reviews the mostly used bariatric surgery procedures and presents a protocol that was developed by the Ochsner Clinic, New Orleans in detail. Based on the protocol, the core parts of the psychological interview are the following: reasons for seeking surgery (I.), weight and diet history (II.), current eating behaviors (III.), understanding of the surgery and its associated lifestyle changes (IV.), social supports (V.), and history and psychiatric symptoms (current and past) (VI.). The original protocol was completed with newer, more recent studies, statements, and with examples by the authors. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(12): 448–455.
“Expansão da educação superior a distância em Moçambique”: perfi s, expectativas e percepções dos estudantes de um programa de cooperação internacional
Authors: Preti Oreste , Barbieri Maria Angélica 
Published: March 2019

Em fevereiro de 2011, quase 700 servidores públicos de Moçambique começaram o ano letivo de quatro cursos de graduação a distância, uma parceria entre quatro universidades federais do Brasil e duas públicas de Moçambique, um programa de cooperação internacional, sob a coordenação da CAPES/ MEC. No encontro presencial nos Polos foi aplicado aos estudantes que se fi zeram presentes (85,0% do total) questionário sócioeconômico-cultural, composto por 44 questões, para traçar seu perfi l. Os dados coletados apontaram características comuns entre os estudantes dos cursos de formação de professores (Biologia, Pedagogia e Matemática) e os estudantes do curso de Administração Pública em relação à idade, escolaridade, tempo de serviço, fertilidade, condições de moradia, meios de comunicação. Porém, apresentaram diferenças em relação a gênero, a hábitos de estudo, ao trabalho, à profi ssão, às suas expectativas e à modalidade a distância. Quando os dados foram comparados por polos, também se percebeu que os estudantes do Polo de Lichinga, ao norte do país, estão em situação menos privilegiada do que os demais estudantes em relação à distância do polo, ao tempo que emprega para chegar ao polo, ao acesso a locais com internet. Há um sentimento geral de “adaptação” à profi ssão e ao curso e, ao mesmo tempo, a percepção de que o programa poderá contribuir no processo de inclusão de mais pessoas que não teriam acesso à universidade, na melhoria de suas condições de vida e também na melhoria da oferta de serviços à população.
