ELF as multilingual “edulect” in a bilingual university
Authors: Schaller-Schwaner Iris 
Published: March 2018

AbstractThe role of English at European universities outside English-speaking countries has recently been so dynamic and complex as to merit elaborate acronyms and frameworks of comparison to capture the actual diversity involved in each case of using English, for example in what Dafouz and Smit (Dafouz, Emma and Ute Smit. 2014. Towards a dynamic conceptual framework for English-medium education in multilingual university settings.Applied Linguistics37[3]: 397–415) subsume under English-medium education in the international university. This contribution, however, looks at ELFFRA, English as a lingua franca in academic settings at the bi- and multilingual University of Fribourg, Switzerland. When English first became officially acknowledged as an additional academic language in 2005, being preceded by a period of “unruly” emergence, it was often the marked case, even in and for its local disciplinary speech events. Its current use at UFR as the default in some English-medium study programmes is by no means uniform or monolingual either. Meanwhile in the promotion of bilingualism in French and German, English is mostly “included” – reminiscent of the semiotics of the 2005 nonce coinage of “bi(tri)lingualism.” This contribution will revisit ideas about the “edulect” role of ELFFRA (Schaller-Schwaner, Iris. 2017.The many faces of English at Switzerland’s Bilingual University: English as an academic lingua franca at the institutionally bilingual University of Freiburg/Fribourg – a contextual analysis of its agentive use. Vienna: University of Vienna doctoral thesis) but look for it in unusual and under-researched places where it is indeed “included” viz. in beginners’ university language courses teaching the local languages French and German. First explorations will be shared and discussed with a view to what this might mean for ELF(A) and edulect.

AbstractThe creation of computational simulation experiments to inform modern biological research poses challenges to reproduce, annotate, archive, and share such experiments. Efforts such as SBML or CellML standardize the formal representation of computational models in various areas of biology. The Simulation Experiment Description Markup Language (SED-ML) describes what procedures the models are subjected to, and the details of those procedures. These standards, together with further COMBINE standards, describe models sufficiently well for the reproduction of simulation studies among users and software tools. The Simulation Experiment Description Markup Language (SED-ML) is an XML-based format that encodes, for a given simulation experiment, (i) which models to use; (ii) which modifications to apply to models before simulation; (iii) which simulation procedures to run on each model; (iv) how to post-process the data; and (v) how these results should be plotted and reported. SED-ML Level 1 Version 1 (L1V1) implemented support for the encoding of basic time course simulations. SED-ML L1V2 added support for more complex types of simulations, specifically repeated tasks and chained simulation procedures. SED-ML L1V3 extends L1V2 by means to describe which datasets and subsets thereof to use within a simulation experiment.
A survey of experimental evidence for diachronic change
Authors: Sanker Chelsea 
Published: March 2018

AbstractThere are synchronic sources of data that can provide an additional line of evidence which may be useful in reconstructing sound changes: patterns of sound change in progress and experimentally induced changes, variation in production, natural errors in production and perception, experimentally elicited errors in perception and production, and experiments and simulations of iterated learning. This article surveys existing studies that have made use of such evidence in support of sound changes and reviews limitations of experimental methods and factors to consider when designing experiments to use these parallels to inform sound change. To demonstrate the parallels between patterns in synchronic data and sound changes, a sample typology of diachronic developments was compared with patterns of categorical errors from experimentally elicited misperception in adverse listening conditions and errors of perception and production in natural speech. All of these correlations are highly significant, demonstrating the potential of such synchronic data as a source of parallels to provide evidence for reconstructed sound changes.

AbstractA trinuclear Co(II) complex, [{CoL(C4H9OH)}2-(OAc)2Co]·C3H7NO, was synthesized by the reaction of a Salamo-type chelating ligand (H2L=4,42′-dinitro-2,2′-[1,2-ethylenedioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol) with cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate inn-butanol, and characterized by elemental analyses, X-ray crystallography, FT-IR and UV/Vis spectra. In the Co(II) complex, there are two ligand L2−units, twoμ2-acetate ions, two coordinatedn-butanol molecules and one non-coordinatedN,N-dimethylformamide molecule. The Co(II) atoms in the structure of the Co(II) complex adopt slightly distorted octahedra geometries. Furthermore, through intermolecular C–H···O, O–H···O and C–H···π interactions, infinite layer-like, plane-like and 3D supramolecular structures are constructed. The fluorescence and electrochemical properties of the Co(II) complex have also been investigated.

AbstractA discrete heterotrinuclear complex [{Ni2LDy(OAc)3(CH3OH)}2] · 2CH3OH · 3CH2Cl2, with a naphthalenediol-based acyclic bis(salamo) ligand H4L, has been synthesized and structurally characterized using elemental analyses, IR, UV/Vis and fluorescence spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure shows two crystallographically independent but chemically identical molecules (moleculesIandII). All the Ni(II) atoms are hexa-coordinated with slightly distorted octahedral geometries. The central Dy atoms are nona-coordinated with slightly distorted tricapped trigonal prism geometries. An infinite 3D supramolecular structure is formed via intermolecular hydrogen bonding and C–H…π interactions.

Abstract
Based on 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)imidazo[4,5-f]-1,10-phenanthroline (HNCP) and 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate (TDC2−) ligands, three new lanthanide-containing (Sm, Nd, and Pr) compounds, [Sm(NCP)(TDC)]

n
·n(H2O)0.5 (3), have been synthesized using the hydrothermal method and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analyses have revealed that compounds 1–3 are 3D isostructural metal-organic frameworks in which the [Ln2(COO)4] dimers can be regarded as 6-connecting nodes, and the TDC2− and NCP− ligands are simplified as connectors to achieve the double interspersed 3D networks with the point symbol {412·63}. Thermogravimetric analysis has illustrated that the rigid architecture contributes to superior thermal stability with a thermal decomposition temperature of more than 400°C for the resulting metal-organic frameworks.

Published: March 2018

Abstract
The 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) enzyme family is involved in the biosynthesis of active steroids and its inhibition constitutes an interesting approach for treating estrogen-, androgen-dependent cancers and osteoporosis. In this study, a new series of cholic acid analogs was designed with the goal of improving the biological activity as 17β-HSD1 and 17β-HSD2 inhibitors. To this end, 23-cholyl amides 4–7, 3-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-23-cholyl amides 10–12, 23-cholyl-carbohydrazide 14, carbothioamide analog 15, and 23-cholyl-acylhydrazone derivatives 18–22 were synthesized from cholic acid (3) via coupling, sulfonation and substitution reactions. Basic treatment of keto group of 5 with p-bromoaniline afforded 8, meanwhile acidic treatment of 3 with thiosemicarbazide furnished the 23-cholyl-thiadiazole derivative 16. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their inhibition activity against 17β-HSD1 and 17β-HSD2, and were found inactive at 1.0 μm concentration (inhibition <10%). However, the steroids 12, 21 and 22 showed inhibition of 21.1, 23.9 and 21.3%, respectively, against 17β-HSD2 at the same concentration. Therefore, these steroidal analogs can be further structurally modified to optimize their inhibition activity against 17β-HSD2 for the development of potential therapeutics.

Abstract
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is a highly discriminative molecular typing method that is used for epidemiological studies and investigation of outbreaks caused by different pathogens, including phytopathogenic Xanthomonas species. Bacterial spot (BS) is the most common and one of the most destructive diseases of tomato and pepper plants in Bulgaria. Several Xanthomonas species are known to cause BS, but the global distribution and genetic diversity of these species are not well understood. A collection of 100 BS-causing strains, isolated during the period of 1985–2012 from different tomato cultivars and weeds associated with tomato production areas from 11 geographic regions in Bulgaria, were screened for genetic diversity by genomic DNA restriction with rare-cutting endonucleases (XbaI and SpeI) subsequently resolved by PFGE. Two haplotypes for Xanthomonas vesicatoria and one haplotype for Xanthomonas gardneri strains were found.

Abstract
The present study aims at assessing the efficacies of olivetoric acid (OA) and physodic acid (PA) isolated from Pseudevernia furfuracea (L.) Zopf (Parmeliaceae) in human lymphocytes (HLs) in vitro. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and lactate dehydrogenase assays were performed to establish cytotoxicity in HLs. Besides, oxidative stress and genotoxicity were monitored by estimating the changes of total oxidative stress (TOS) and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) levels, respectively, in HLs. At the same time, OA- and PA-induced total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels in HLs were determined. Although especially low concentrations of OA (IC50=109.94 mg/L) and PA (IC50=665.49 mg/L) did not show cytotoxic effect at high levels in HLs, it was revealed that cytotoxicity was significantly (p<0.05) associated with oxidative stress and genotoxicity via correlation analysis. While TOS level in HLs did not statistically (p>0.05) increase in the presence of all treatments (0.5–100 mg/L) of PA, TAC level was increased by PA applications in certain concentrations (0.5–10 mg/L). Overall, the obtained data indicate that OA and especially PA as lichen compounds that do not cause oxidative stress can be a new resource of therapeutics as recognized in the present study with their high antioxidant features.

Objective: Punica granatum is a herbal product used in the field of dentistry which has many potential effects including bactericidal, antifungal, antiviral, and immune modulation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of prepared Punica granatum as an antiplaque and anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of gingival inflammation.
Methods: Sixty patients were enrolled in this study. Fourty five patients with moderate gingivitis were divided randomly into 3 groups; chlorhexidine group included 15 patients received once-daily dose of chlorhexidine mouthwash for 1 day, Punica I group included 15 patients received once-daily dose of Punica mouthwash for 1 day, and Punica II group included 15 patients received once-daily dose of Punica mouthwash for 2 consecutive days. Plaque index, gingival index, and bleeding on probing were assessed before rinsing and after 3 and 7 days of rinsing, also saliva were collected before rinsing and after 1 hour, 2 hrs, 1 and three days of rinsing to estimate the level of interleukine-1β. The rest 15 subjects were with clinically healthy gingiva.
Results: Punica II group resulted in significant reduction of plaque index, gingival index, and bleeding on probing after 3 and 7 days of rinsing (p≤0.05) but with non-significant differences with chlorhexidine group (p>0.05). It had significant effect in reduction of interleukine-1β which begin after one day of rinsing and continued into three days (p≤0.05).
Conclusions: Punica like chlorhexidine has a positive effect on reduction of plaque accumulation and improvement of gingival inflammation so can be used as an anti-plaque and anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of gingival inflammation.

Published: March 2018

To analyze the content of the documents, the various pattern matching algorithms are used to find all the occurrences of a limited set of patterns within an input text or input document. In order to perform this task, this research work used four existing string matching algorithms; they are Brute Force algorithm, Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm (KMP), Boyer Moore algorithm and Rabin Karp algorithm. This work also proposes three new string matching algorithms. They are Enhanced Boyer Moore algorithm, Enhanced Rabin Karp algorithm and Enhanced Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm.
Findings: For experimentation, this work has used two types of documents, i.e. .txt and .docx. Performance measures used are search time, number of iterations and accuracy. From the experimental results, it is realized that the enhanced KMP algorithm gives better accuracy compared to other string matching algorithms. Application/Improvements: Normally, these algorithms are used in the field of text mining, document classification, content analysis and plagiarism detection. In future, these algorithms have to be enhanced to improve their performance and the various types of documents will be used for experimentation.
