NIR‐Triggered Photothermal Responsive Coatings with Remote and Localized Tunable Underwater Oil Adhesion
Authors: Shang Bin , Chen Min , Wu Limin 
Published: June 2019

AbstractTunable underwater oil adhesion is a critical issue in interfacial science and industrial applications. Although much progress has been made to date, development of novel smart coating materials that can selectively change the wetting property at different areas is considerably scarce. Here, a simple strategy is proposed to fabricate photothermal responsive coatings, which can change the oil adhesion behavior from low‐adhesive rolling state to high‐adhesive pinning state for a variety of oily liquids in a remote, local, and reversible manner. Owing to this unique controllability, the adhesion and no‐adhesion of oil droplets on the coated surfaces can be easily manipulated by remote and local near‐infrared radiation.

AbstractMetal halide perovskite materials have attracted great attention owing to their fascinating optoelectronic characteristics and low cost fabrication via facile solution processing. One of the potential applications of these materials is to employ them as color‐conversion layers (CCLs) for visible blue light to achieve full‐color displays. However, obtaining thick perovskite films to realize complete color conversion is a key challenge. Here, the fabrication of micrometer‐level thick CsPbBr3 perovskite films is presented through a facile vacuum drying approach. An efficient green photoconversion is realized in a 3.8 µm thick film from blue light @ 463 nm. For a back luminance of 1000 cd m−2, the brightness of the resulting green emission can reach as high as 200 cd m−2. Furthermore, only ≈2% of decay in brightness is observed when the films are tested after 18 days of exposure to ambient environment. In addition, a potential design is also proposed for full‐color displays with perovskite materials incorporated as CCLs.
Hybrid Cu0 and Cux+ as Atomic Interfaces Promote High‐Selectivity Conversion of CO2 to C2H5OH at Low Potential

AbstractThe mixing of charge states of metal copper catalysts may lead to a much improved reactivity and selectivity toward multicarbon products for CO2 reduction. Here, an electrocatalyst model composed of copper clusters supported on graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) is proposed; the connecting Cu atoms with g‐C3N4 can be oxidized to Cux
+ due to substantial charge transfer from Cu to N atoms, while others stay as Cu0. It is revealed that CO2 can be captured and reduced into *CO on the Cut0 site, owing to its zero oxidation state. More importantly, C–C coupling reaction of two *CHO species on the Cut0–Cubx
+ atomic interface can occur with a rather low kinetic barrier of 0.57 eV, leading to the formation of the final C2 product, namely, C2H5OH. During the whole process, the limiting potential is just 0.68 V. These findings may open a new avenue for CO2 reduction into high‐value fuels and chemicals.
An Updated Inquiry into the Study of Corporate Codes of Ethics: 2005–2016

Published: June 2019

AbstractThis paper presents a review of 100 empirical papers studying corporate codes of ethics (CCEs) in business organizations from the time period mid-2005 until mid-2016, following approximately an 11-year time period after the previous review of the literature. The reviewed papers are broadly categorized as content-oriented, output-oriented, or transformation-oriented. The review sheds light on empirical focus, context, questions addressed, methods, findings and theory. The findings are discussed in terms of the three categories as well as the aggregate, stock of empirical CCE studies in comparison with previous reviews, answering the question “where are we now?” Content and output studies still stand for the majority of the studies, whereas the transformation studies are fewer. Within these areas, two new trends are found to have emerged: discursive analyses and a focus on labor conditions. The review finds that (a) the content of CCEs is still predominantly self-defensive, (b) that CCEs are insufficient in themselves in terms of protecting workers’ rights, (c) that CCEs are likely to encounter tensions when implemented across national and organizational boundaries, and (d) that while perception of CCEs is generally positive, CCEs may lead to both positive and negative outcomes. Based on these findings, potential areas for further exploration in the area of CCE research are suggested.

ABSTRACT
A new occurrence of lamprophyre dyke is being reported from Saurashtra peninsula of Gujarat, north-western Deccan trap. The paper presents and discusses the detail mineralogy, field setting and whole rock major and trace element geochemistry. The newly discovered lamprophyre dyke intruded into the porphyritic olivine basalt flow. It is E-W trending dyke paralleling with Narmada rift trend, 200 m long and ~1 m in width. Petrographic observations suggest the lamprophyre dyke is fine grained, porphyritic and shows typical panidiomoprphic texture. It contains phenocrysts of euhedral to subhedral amphibole (kaersutite), subhedral clinopyroxenes (diposide augite) and olivine pseudomorph enveloped in the groundmass composed of plagioclase, clinopyroxene and amphibole with carbonate, Ti-magnetite, zeolite and apatite occurring as accessory phases. Few clinopyroxenes show reaction and embayed margins thus indicating xenocrystic orgin. The normative chemistry of the lamprophyre dyke suggests alkaline nature with significant amount of olivine and nepheline. Whole rock geochemical data shows comparatively higher SiO2 than the other lamprophyres of the Deccan and similar to the MgO depleted lamprophyres of the Chhota Udepur alkaline province. The primitive mantle normalized multi-elements pattern shows absence of any high field strength element (HFSE) anomaly. Studied dyke displays more similarity with the earlier reported pre- Deccan alkaline lamprophyres and more particular with the Chhota Udepur lamprophyre. Occurrence of this new lamprophyre dyke from the Saurashtra region extends and confirms the presence of lamprophyre magmatism in the far north-western part of the Deccan.

ABSTRACT
Quaternary period has witnessed perceptible climatic change in Schirmacher region, central Dronning Maud Land (cDML), East Antarctica. There were buildup of ice sheet and its recession throughout the period. The Schirmacher Oasis, Baalsrudfjellet, Veteheia and Veten nunataks are the prominent northernmost exposures in cDML area and play a major role in controlling the ice flow in this region resulting in glacial erosional as well as depositional landforms. These developments reveal vital information about the evolution of the region in Quaternary period. Erosional features such as roche-moutonees, glacially polished and abraded rocky outcrops with excellent preservation of glacial striations indicates the paleo-movement of overriding glaciers. Striations are generally preserved on polished surfaces of bedrock exposed on the high lands, however, glacial striations are also preserved over some mafic and resistant hard rocks in low lying areas. In general, the glacial striations indicate north-northeast movement of paleo ice sheet. Majority of the boulders in east-central valley show their longer axis trending in NNE-WSW to NE-SW directions. The cross cutting relation of striations give the changing directions of paleo ice sheet movement. Further, back calculation of depth of indentation and corresponding ice load gives a value of 100 to 500 m thick paleo-ice sheet in different parts of this region, documenting vast deglaciation in this region.

Authors: Govindan Abiraman , Vijayan R. 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT
Smaller calcareous benthic foraminiferal fauna consists of 198 species with observed stratigraphic ranges from upper Cretaceous to early Paleogene are documented from Cauvery Basin. One species has been described as new species. This compilation is based on well cutting samples of 17 exploratory wells from sub-surface litho units Kamalapuram Formation of early Eocene – Paleocene age and the underlying Porto Nova and Nannilam Formation of Maestrichtian – Campanian age. Several representatives of Nodosariids, Gyroidinoidids and Gavelinellids were found with extended stratigraphic ranges crossing K/T boundary. Nearly 40 benthic species became extinct at the end of Paleocene as reported among deep sea benthics elsewhere. The record of high diversity of benthic species, moderately high percentage of planktic forms associated with several of deep water organic walled agglutinated benthic species indicates sediments at this time interval are deep water shelf and slope deposits in the basin.

Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT
Natural hazards like landslides in lesser Himalayan region of district Kullu (HP) India, owe to its typical geomorphic setting, variations in relief, precipitation during monsoon, thick forest cover, presence of glacier and glacial lakes along the higher reaches and various anthropogenic activities. Landslide locations, types and factor influencing the slope details are collected through the field visits and past record of landslides were used for development of inventory. Ancillary data are used for generation of different thematic layers (aspect, drainage density, geology, land cover, lineament density, relief, slope, and soil). Weight of evidence (WOE), information value(IV) and frequency ratio (FR) methods are used for generation of landslide hazard zonation (LHZ) maps which were classified into four zones namely high, moderate, low and very low. Validation and comparison of these hazard maps was done through the successive rate curve method which showed almost similar results, this proved the accuracy of these methods for generation of LHZ maps (WOE 80.01%, IV81.54% and frequency ratio 83.21%).

Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT
Ilerdian (early Eocene) carbonates in the northwestern Tosya region, northern Turkey, are characterized by porcellaneous larger benthic foraminifera; Glomalveolina, Alveolina, Orbitolites, Opertorbitolites and Cyclopertorbitolites are common in the southeastern Kastamonu region, in facies deposited on a low-gradient carbonate ramp. The inner ramp comprises of Miliolid-soritid wackestone, Soritid wackestone, Alveolinid-soritid wackestone-packstone, Alveolinid wackestone, Alveolinid-Nummulitid wackestone-packstone, algal wackestone, and Coralline algal pack-grainstone microfacies. The middle ramp deposits are composed of Alveolinid-nummulitid wackestone-packstone and Nummulitid wackestone-packstone microfacies. Overall, the succession reflects a long term deepening trend.

Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT
The identification of additional hydrocarbon reserves to buffer pressure from increasing energy demands in Nigeria necessitated the application of sequence stratigraphic framework in the analysis of sedimentary successions in the central portion of southern Anambra basin. Wireline logs and biofacies data from three exploratory wells (S-1, S-2 and S-3) were used for the study. The stratigraphy of the study area observed from the three wells showed an overall regressive succession with short-lived transgressions. Lithofacies associations deduced from well log signatures defined four lithostratigraphic units: The Mamu and Ajali formations of kate Maastrichtian age; the Nsukka Formation of kate Maastrichtian - Danian age and Imo Formation of Paleocene age. The study further used the depositional sequence model to identify sequences and accompanying systems tracts that are bounded at the top and bottom by unconformities. Dating of identified key stratigraphic surfaces was achieved by correlating chronostratigraphic biofacies data to third order cycle charts. Correlation across the three wells highlighted spatial distributions of reservoirs and some useful stratigraphic and structural discontinuities that could form hydrocarbon traps. It also showed profitable stratigraphic surfaces that would aid basin-wide correlation for improved horizon(s) mapping and hydrocarbon prospectivity in the Anambra basin. Erosional unconformities identified in the wells that correlated with major drops in global sea level, fingerprinted the influence of eustacy on sedimentation and sequence development. Other factors such as subsidence and sediment supply have direct relationships to the identified structures (faults) which also initiated the accommodation created for sedimentation in the study area.
Fractal sets of neutral curves for stably stratified plane Couette flow
Authors: Healey Jonathan J. 
Published: June 2019

The linear stability of plane Couette flow is investigated when the plates are horizontal, and the fluid is stably stratified with a cubic basic density profile. The disturbances are treated as inviscid and diffusion of the density field is neglected. Previous studies have shown that this density profile can develop multiple neutral curves, despite the stable stratification, and the fact that plane Couette flow of homogeneous fluid is stable. It is shown that when the neutral curves are plotted with wave angle on one axis, and location of the density inflexion point on the other axis, they produce a self-similar fractal pattern. The repetition on smaller and smaller scales occurs in the limit when the waves are highly oblique, i.e. longitudinal vortices almost aligned with the flow; the corresponding limit for two-dimensional waves is that of strong buoyancy/weak flow. The fractal set of neutral curves also represents a fractal of bifurcation points at which nonlinear solutions can be continued from the trivial state, and these may be helpful for understanding turbulent states. This may be the first example of a fractal generated by a linear ordinary differential equation.
JOINT DIAMONDS AND LAVER DIAMONDS
Authors: HABIČ MIHA E. 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThe concept of jointness for guessing principles, specifically ${\diamondsuit _\kappa }$ and various Laver diamonds, is introduced. A family of guessing sequences is joint if the elements of any given sequence of targets may be simultaneously guessed by the members of the family. While equivalent in the case of ${\diamondsuit _\kappa }$, joint Laver diamonds are nontrivial new objects. We give equiconsistency results for most of the large cardinals under consideration and prove sharp separations between joint Laver diamonds of different lengths in the case of θ-supercompact cardinals.

AbstractDietary behaviour is influenced by a complex web of biological, psychological, physiological, social, economic and cultural factors. Understanding socio-demographic and anthropometric characteristics that influence food choice may be important in guiding dietary interventions. The present study aimed to identify whether socio-demographic and anthropometric characteristics influence food choice in an Irish working population. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2014 as part of the Food Choice at Work Study, a large clustered non-randomised, controlled trial based in county Cork, Ireland. Information regarding food motives was collected at the 3–4 months follow-up. The ‘Food Choice Questionnaire’ was used to measure food motives. Multiple linear regression was conducted to test the association between socio-demographic and anthropometric characteristics (age, sex, BMI, education, type of accommodation, living situation, marital status, parental status) and worksite and food motives. A total of 678 employees were included in the analysis. Overall, only a small percentage of food choice was influenced by the characteristics included in this analysis (1·6 to 8·8 %). Sensory appeal and satisfaction were scored most important by all sub-populations. Sex was most often associated with differences in food motives (i.e. all food motives except for familiarity and ethical concern were significantly more important to females compared with males; P = 0·001/P < 0·001). Worksite, age, BMI and marital status also seemed to play a small role in influencing food choice. The results show that food choice is complex and not easily explained by differences in socio-demographic or anthropometric population characteristics.
Models for the rates of pupal development, fat consumption and mortality in tsetse (Glossinaspp)
Authors: Hargrove J.W. , Vale G.A. 
Published: June 2019

AbstractEnvironmental temperature is an important driver of the population dynamics of tsetse (Glossinaspp) because the fly's immature stages are particularly vulnerable to temperatures (T) outside the rangeT= 16–32°C. Laboratory experiments carried out 50 years ago provide extensive measures of temperature-dependent rates of development, fat consumption and mortality in tsetse pupae. We improve on the models originally fitted to these data, providing better parameter estimates for use in population modelling. A composite function accurately models rates of pupal development forT= 8–32°C. Pupal duration can be estimated by summing the temperature-dependent daily percentage of development completed. Fat consumption is modelled as a logistic function of temperature; the total fat consumed during pupal development takes a minimum forT≈ 25°C. Pupae experiencing constant temperatures <16°C exhaust their fat reserves before they complete development. At high temperatures, direct effects kill the pupae before fat stores are exhausted. The relationship between pupal mortality and temperature is well described by the sum of two exponential functions. Summing daily mortality rates over the whole pupal period does not reliably predict overall mortality. Mortality is more strongly correlated with the mean temperature experienced over pupal life or, forT≤ 30°C, the fat consumption during this period. The new results will be particularly useful in the construction of various models for tsetse population dynamics, and will have particular relevance for agent-based models where the lives of individual tsetse are simulated using a daily time step.
Beyond the epistaxis: voluntary nasal leech (Dinobdella ferox) infestation revealed the leech behaviours and the host symptoms through the parasitic period
Authors: Lai Yi-Te 
Published: June 2019

AbstractDinobdella ferox is the most reported and studied leech species parasitizing mammalian mucus membranes. However, our knowledge of D. ferox during parasitizing and its effects on hosts has remained limited. To investigate the behaviour of D. ferox in the parasitic period and the subsequent host symptoms, the author was infested voluntarily with three juvenile leeches under regularly-conducted examinations of complete blood count (CBC) and nasal endoscopy (NE). After the first head protrusion of the parasitizing leech at the host nostril, the occurrence of bleeding-related symptoms decreased and ceased completely weeks before the end of the parasitic period. Negligible impacts of the parasitizing leech on the host were shown by CBCs, and a parasitizing leech was able to hide from NE despite being so large it at times protrudes out of the host nostril. Finally, parasitizing D. ferox were coaxed to emerge at the nostril by water only after their first head protrusion, indicating that non-invasive removal of parasitizing D. ferox before head protrusion might be difficult. Through the voluntary infestation, the full documentation of behaviours of D. ferox in the parasitic period and host symptoms shown in this study will promote better diagnoses and treatments of nasal leech infestation.

AbstractObjectivesTo explore health technology assessment (HTA) in Thailand focusing on its institutionalization, key elements for HTA introduction, and HTA contribution to policy.MethodsA review of literature covered a wide range of topics, including the institutionalization of HTA, elements of HTA introduction, and the role of HTA in policy decision making in Thai context. Additional information from the authors’ involvement in the policy decision-making process in Thailand was also considered.ResultsHTA institutionalization comprises processes of introducing HTA, including evidence generation and use in policymaking, building capacity of HTA practitioners, organizations, system infrastructure, and collaborations. In Thailand, HTA has been formally integrated into coverage decisions, including in the development of the National List of Essential Medicines and the Universal Health Coverage Scheme benefits package. Contributing factors included political will and leadership, capacity building on HTA-related disciplines, adequate resources, technical expertise, and data. Conversely, challenges faced included the absence of a governing body and strategic plan for HTA systems development, a lack of formal mechanisms for mobilizing financial support, an inadequate number of HTA researchers in nonprofit institutes, and the rise in advanced biotechnologies.ConclusionsHTA plays an important role in evidence-based healthcare decision making. However, key elements of HTA institutionalization need to be strengthened, especially governance structure and policy for HTA systems development, building and retaining capacity of HTA practitioners to meet demand, addressing the challenges of complex and highly innovative health interventions. Lessons learned from the Thai experience may be used as guidance for HTA institutionalization in other developing countries.
