Design and Diagnosis of Deviated Rod-Pumped Wells
Authors: Gibbs S. G. 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Commonly used methods for design of rod pumping installations presume vertical wells. This paper introduces a wave equation methodology which applies to wells that are deviated, either intentionally or unintentionally. Restrictions on surface locations and interest in horizontal drilling are increasing the number of deviated wells needing to be designed. Together with long standing crooked hole problems, these are promising subjects for further study.
This paper describes a predictive method that applies to 3 dimensional problems. A study is made of a well deemed too crooked to pump and a procedure is presented for designing intentionally deviated wells. The relative friction effects of rod guides are discussed and the effect of borehole path on power consumption is treated. The concept of dogleg severity is examined and deemed inadequate as a measure of difficulty in pumping deviated wells. The type of errors that result when vertical hole diagnostic methods are applied to deviated holes is discussed. Finally a new formulation of the radius of curvature concept is derived together with techniques for deducing rod-tubing friction from dynamometer valve checks. Comparisons with actual measurements are included to demonstrate the validity of the methods.
It is concluded that deviated wells can be adequately designed with wave equation methods. Also it is seen that highly deviated wells can be produced with rod pumping equipment when care is taken to control the path of the borehole. This paper should be considered as a progress report since much remains to be learned about application of the technology.
A One‐Dimensional Physically Based Approach to Predict Soil Profile Aeration Requirements
Authors: de Jong van Lier Quirijn , Pinheiro Everton Alves Rodrigues , Inforsato Leonardo 
Published: March 2018

Core Ideas
A process‐based theory for predicting the minimum air‐filled porosity was developed.
The model allows analyzing sensitivity of aeration requirements to system parameters.
Common static air content values for entire soil profiles are shown to be flawed.
A minimum air‐filled porosity (βmin) is necessary to allow sufficient gas influx and efflux without restricting the aerobic activities of roots and microorganisms. Fixed values for βmin are commonly used in crop growth and hydrological models, thus relegating the physical process of gas flow. We developed a process‐based approach to estimate the minimum air‐filled porosity along the soil profile, assuming the excess of CO2 to trigger the onset of deficit aeration. The developed set of equations is based on Fick's law and mass conservation and includes root depth and pore‐space tortuosity for gas diffusivity, rate of gas production over depth and soil gaseous diffusivity. The developed theory allows prediction of gas concentrations and aeration status for different boundary conditions. The minimum air‐filled porosity was shown to be dependent on profile depth and soil type, and in this respect commonly used fixed values for entire soil profiles would be flawed. When considering the pressure heads corresponding to these minimum air‐filled porosity, results showed an even higher dependence of soil type.

What can we learn from a 500-year event? Experiences from urban drainage in Austria
Authors: Kleidorfer Manfred , Tscheikner-Gratl Franz , Vonach Tanja , Rauch Wolfgang 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Urban drainage systems are designed to capture the runoff for a certain return period of a design rainfall event. Typically, numerical models are used, which are calibrated by comparing model response and measured system performance. The applicability of such models to predict the system behaviour under extreme events is unclear, as usually then no data are available. This paper describes the analysis of an extreme rainfall event in the year 2016. The event is characterized by a very short duration and very high rainfall intensities. The maximum-recorded rainfall peak was 47.1 mm rainfall within 10 min, which corresponds to a return period of 500 years. The event caused local flooding on streets, interruptions of traffic and damages in buildings. In order to improve the flood resilience of the city, the event was analysed with an existing 1D hydrodynamic model of the sewer system. Model results were compared to water level measurements in the drainage system and citizen observations of surface flooding (gathered from social media and citizen reports). Although the hydrodynamic model could reproduce water level measurements in parts of the system, the plausibility check using descriptive data showed that the model failed to predict flooding in some areas.

Preventive Use of a Resin-based Desensitizer Containing Glutaraldehyde on Tooth Sensitivity Caused by In-office Bleaching: A Randomized, Single-blind Clinical Trial
Authors: Diniz ACS , Lima SNL , Tavarez RRdJ , Borges AH , Pinto SCS , Tonetto MR , Loguercio AD , Bandéca MC 
Published: March 2018

SUMMARY

Objective:
To evaluate the risk and intensity of bleaching-induced tooth sensitivity (TS) after in-office bleaching following topical application of a resin-based glutaraldehyde desensitizer.

Methods:
Thirty-three patients were randomly assigned to the experimental (Gluma Desensitizer Liquid, Heraeus Kulzer, Hanau, Germany) and placebo groups. The placebo or Gluma Desensitizer Liquid was applied for one minute prior to application of an in-office bleaching gel. Bleaching was performed with 35% hydrogen peroxide gel (three applications × 15 minutes each) over two sessions, one week apart. The color of the anterior teeth was evaluated before and 21 days after treatment using the VITA Classical shade guide, Bleachedguide 3D, and Easyshade spectrophotometer. TS during and after the bleaching was recorded according to the visual analog (VAS) and numerical rating (NRS) scales. All data were submitted to statistical analysis (α=0.05).

Results:
There was no significant difference in absolute risk or intensity of TS between the two groups (risk and VAS, p=0.93 and 0.31, respectively; NRS, p≥0.45). At the end of the bleaching protocol, tooth whitening was observed in both groups, as evident from color change in shade guide units (ΔSGU, 4.1-7.1; both guides) and overall color change (ΔE, 7.4-9.3 units); however, there were no significant differences in whitening between the two groups (p&gt;0.11).

Conclusion:
Gluma Desensitizer Liquid was not able to reduce the risk or intensity of TS. Bleaching efficacy was not affected by application of the desensitizer.

Do Nanofilled/Nanohybrid Composites Allow for Better Clinical Performance of Direct Restorations Than Traditional Microhybrid Composites? A Systematic Review
Authors: Angerame D , De Biasi M 
Published: March 2018

SUMMARYThis systematic review was carried out to assess the clinical effectiveness of nanofilled and nanohybrid composites used for direct restorations in comparison with microhybrid composites. The guidelines for the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses were followed. A search of articles published from July 1996 to February 2017 was performed in PubMed, SciVerse Scopus, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences, the Scientific Electronic Library Online, and the Cochrane Library. The present review selected only randomized controlled trials comparing the clinical performance of a nanofilled or nanohybrid composite for direct restorations with that of a microhybrid composite. The research found 201 studies. Twenty-one articles fulfilled the criteria of the present review. However, the included studies were characterized by great methodological diversities. As a general trend, nanofilled and nanohybrid composites were found to be capable of clinical performance, marginal quality, and resistance to wear similar to that of traditional composites without showing improved surface characteristics. The risk of bias of included studies was judged unclear or high. The clinical performance of nanofilled/nanohybrid composites was found to be comparable to that of traditional composites in the posterior area. The data concerning anterior and cervical restorations were insufficient. With regard to the esthetic properties, there is a compelling need for studies on anterior teeth in which the operators are kept unaware of the restorative material. Nanofilled/nanohybrid composites seem to be a valid alternative to traditional microhybrid composites, and at the moment, there is low-level evidence attesting a lack of their superiority.

Published: March 2018

AbstractObtaining information is key to business success. However, to achieve this is generally costly (in both monetary and time terms). This is complicated even more for those firms which need information from foreign markets. Moreover, it has to be considered that information based on secondary data is not always available or easy to get, and that to attain it based on primary data requires a great effort. The aim of the present research is to show a procedure which helps SMEs to obtain this market-relevant information. To do so, a new methodology is used which enables these firms to know in broad terms how consumers of the different country-markets behave, as well as getting information related to the product's commercialization. A pilot experience has hence been used, whose target population is tourists in the city of Seville. A sampling session of the product was carried out, via which, and through a questionnaire, information was gathered concerning the countries of origin of the participants in this study. Its flavor is appreciated by the consumer in the four varieties considered, and in appearance, the product also has a very good acceptation. It is worth considering what is going to be the packaging for the product's commercialization and its labeling. The different varieties also have their markets and all of them should be adapted to the local tastes.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between student cognitive engagement and academic achievement of secondary school students of Manga Sub County, Nyamira County, Kenya. The study was hinged on the Self Determination theoretical perspective. The mixed methods approach was employed, and within it, the concurrent triangulation design was adopted. From the target population of 1750 form four students, 35 Principals and 35 Guidance and Counselling teachers, 312 students (out of 316 expected), 11 Principals and 11 Guidance and counselling teachers were randomly sampled for the study. Questionnaires were used to collect data from the students, while interview schedules were used to collect data from Principals and Guidance and Counselling teachers. The validity of the research instruments was determined by experts from the department of Psychology and Educational Foundations of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology. Reliability was ascertained by the internal consistency method using Cronbach’s alpha, and a reliability coefficient of r above 0.7 was obtained for the questionnaire. Inferential statistics from quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson’s Product correlation and regression analysis with the aid of the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 22. Qualitative data from interviews were analyzed thematically. The study revealed that cognitive engagement was a significant predictor of academic achievement among secondary school students studied (r=.376, N=312, p =.01. The study recommended that school based teacher counsellors should utilize cognitive behavioural therapy techniques during counselling sessions with students in school in order to enhance cognitive engagement.

A Study on Cultural Capital and High-Risk Behaviors of College Students in Iran
Authors: Naseri Samaneh 
Published: March 2018

AbstractThe term cultural capital has gained a widespread popularity as an analogy with economic capital, and capitalism rules and debates since the early 1970s. Essentially, cultural capital is not inherited, yet it is achieved through personal endeavors. Acquisition of cultural capital demands an incessant and hard work in addition to lifelong learning and acculturation. Hence, the present study examines the relationship between forms of cultural capital and high-risk behaviors of Iranian college students. The impact of each form on the incidence of high-risk behaviors is measured. A survey consisting demographical items, and items assessing cultural capital and tendency towards high-risk behaviors are applied. The results suggest a meaningfully negative relationship between sub-types of cultural capital and high-risk behaviors among undergraduate students in Iran. So, the author concluded that with an increase in cultural capital and the sub-types, the incidence of high-risk behaviors decreases consequently.
Empirical Identity as Dimension of Development in Africa: With Special Reference to the Igbo Society of South-east of Nigeria
Authors: Nnebedum Chigozie 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Identity, as discussed in this paper, is seen as a phenomenon which is constantly changing under certain circumstances. From empirical point of view, the identity of man is influenced by the environment through experience and unconscious socialization; it is continually modified by the individual’s encounter with the world. The aim of this work is to analyse the intricacies involved in understanding the situation and mentality of the Igbos as far as identity is concerned and to determine how this hampers or helps in the development of the Igbo/African society. In this work ‘identity’ as a means of development with regard to the Igbo people of South-East Nigeria is treated. The work is methodically qualitative. It analyses literatures and different views on identity and tailors the discussion of development along the lines of hermeneutical approach to subjective experiences. The Igbos and Africans find themselves sometimes in the danger of a mixture of identity. This is the case with most of the Igbo people who are scattered all over the world and who are becoming more foreign in their trends and ways of life. Being unable to maintain a definite identity, one is lost in the politics of development. Those who still hang on to pure imitation of the western life are jeopardizing their autonomy and by extension, frustrating development of the African society. Rediscovering the Igbo/African Identity and putting it to the service of development in the African continent is the task of the Africans themselves.

Waste is one source of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) that has methane gas form which caused an early multi-dimensional, massive and complex problems. The rapid increase of garbage volume entering landfill, annually result a high garbage dumps in the Suwung Landfill area. It should have been considered a handing solution for example by converting the methane gas content in the waste into a useful value added product. The objective of this research is determining the amount of electrical energy that can be produced through methane gas emission at Suwung Landfill. The characteristic and composition of waste could give effect to the formation of methane emissions. The research on the composition and characteristic of waste were done by sorting 1 m3 of garbage sample from new garbage entering landfill. Garbage is divided based on the source of DLHK waste, market waste, and private waste. The volume of waste that went to Suwung Landfill in 2016 calculated 1.296.438 m3 which was dominated by organic waste (78,1%). The density of the waste that went into Suwung Landfill, based on the research's results, amounted to 135,09 kg / m3, there fore could be assumed that the weight of waste that went to Suwung Landfill in 2016 was 175.135,81 tons. Based on these data, the number of 136.785,13 tons of waste, which was organic waste, could increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere if this situation does not manage properly. Gravimeter method is using for measures the dry matter content value of waste. From the measurement, the results obtained the waste components that have the highest dry matter content is from rubber and leather garbage (76,52%) while the lowest dry matter is food waste (19,13%). By using calculations based on IPCC 2006, it was found that the amount of methane emissions could be generated by the waste at the Suwung Landfill in 2016, amounted to 3.535,06 tons. Based on the energy equivalence table, the electrical power that is generated from the potential methane emissions at the Suwung Landfill is 6,66 MW.

Authors: De Schepper Hugo 
Published: March 2018

Esta contribución constituye una presentación de un nuevo estudio sobre las élites de poder y la historia legal y política de los Consejos de gobierno en Flandes, que abarca desde la Reconciliación de las provincias valonas con Felipe II (1579) hasta la Tregua de los Doce Años (1609). En la primera parte, se trata sobre las estructuras internas de los tres Consejos, así como – sobre la base de unas cien biografías - el modelo de personajes que sirvieron en su marco. La segunda parte estudia sus competencias jurídicas y reales en un estado de derecho no escrito, donde el monarca era la fuente de todo derecho nuevo que no conocía la trias politica. Asimismo, se investiga sobre los procedimientos de toma de decisiones o asesores en el marco de cada Consejo.
