Published: November 2018

AbstractNeodymium cerate (Nd2Ce2O7) was laboratory synthesized by solid‐state reactions of neodymia and ceria and spray dried to get the feedstock for plasma spraying. Hot corrosion behavior of air plasma sprayed 10% Nd2Ce2O7/yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) topcoat was studied in the presence of V2O5 and Na2SO4 salts at 950°C for 10‐60 hours. It was observed that due to the presence of relatively higher basic compounds Nd2O3 and CeO2 (form Nd2Ce2O7) than Y2O3 in YSZ changed the reaction dynamics during hot corrosion and the major part of corrosive (NaVO3) was consumed by Nd of Nd2Ce2O7, making NdVO4. The Y2O3 of YSZ contributed in the corrosive reaction partially, relieving majority tetragonal zirconia (t‐ZrO2) in topcoat (YSZ). No remarkable cracking was developed in the topcoat even after 60 hours of accelerated hot corrosion, which was attributed to the retention of in‐relief t‐ZrO2 in YSZ.
High precision extrusion of glass tubes
Authors: Kalnins Christopher A. G. , Bachus Kyle J. , Gooley Andrew , Ebendorff‐Heidepriem Heike 
Published: November 2018

AbstractPrecision glass tubes for analytical instrumentation often require tight tolerances in their inner and outer diameter, which makes them cumbersome to fabricate. The extrusion method is a potential method for the fabrication of precision glass tubes, however, the effects of die swell and taper which occur during the extrusion process can distort the final product. This work aims to determine the tolerances that can be achieved for glass tubes fabricated using the extrusion method by comparing the extent of the die swell and tapering on tubes extruded under a variety of extrusion parameters. Lead‐silicate glass tubes of 6.5 mm outer diameter and 0.50 mm inner diameter were fabricated with a taper of <1% for the outer diameter and <5% for the inner diameter over 200 mm lengths. This target geometry was achieved using a volume flow rate of 4.7 mm3/s, a glass viscosity of 107.2 Pa.s and a die geometry that accommodated a 8%‐10% offset due to die swell. This result indicates the extrusion method is a viable method for producing glass tubes with tight tolerances for applications in analytical instrumentation.
Neo‐Calvinism on General Revelation: A Dogmatic Sketch
Authors: Sutanto Nathaniel Gray 
Published: November 2018

AbstractNeo‐Calvinism, it is often observed, affirms a ubiquitous and dogmatic account of general revelation. Yet, critics claim, the tradition is too reticent to affirm that there is a positive, even if limited, project for natural theology. I argue that what accounts for this apparent discrepancy is a failure to recognize some distinctive marks of the neo‐Calvinistic account of general revelation. Theologians like Herman Bavinck, Johan Bavinck and Abraham Kuyper operate with an account of general revelation that is precognitive and primordial in character – an account irreducible to propositional beliefs about God. Once this dogmatic sketch is retrieved, a strong distinction between the ubiquity of general revelation and its rational reception in the form of concepts can be made. The conclusion then draws some salient implications of the above exposition.
The Logos and the Authority of Scripture: A Proposal Motivated by Irenaeus’ Trinitarian Account of Revelation
Authors: Laing Kenneth R. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThis article suggests an alternative approach to the modern emphasis on the Spirit as the ground of the authority of Scripture – a view largely absent in the church of the first four centuries – on the basis of the thoroughly trinitarian account of the process of divine revelation articulated by Irenaeus. In his account, the Logos, as the Revealer of the Father, is the primary agent of all the Father’s revelatory actions. In this way the Logos, working in cooperation with the Spirit, provides the basis for the revelatory authority of Scripture.
Upholding Sola Scriptura Today: Some Unturned Stones in Herman Bavinck’s Doctrine of Inspiration
Authors: Pass Bruce R. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThis article revisits the disagreement between Rogers and McKim and Richard Gaffin over whether or not Herman Bavinck upheld the concept of biblical inerrancy. A sketch of Bavinck’s doctrine of inspiration of Scripture that engages with the terms of their debate is presented in order to highlight ways in which a more nuanced reading of Bavinck holds constructive potential for the maintenance of Scripture as the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
Advancing the assessment of automated deception detection systems: Incorporating base rate and cost into system evaluation
Authors: Twitchell Douglas P. , Fuller Christie M. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractIn the last two decades, there has been an increased interest in automated deception detection systems (ADDs) for use in screening, although little attention has been paid to the usefulness of these systems. ADDs use various means, both invasive and non‐invasive, to ascertain individual intent to deceive or engage in malicious behaviour. Many papers introducing ADDs use signal detection theory to compare a technique's ability to detect malicious intent with other techniques, but in doing so, they do not include contextual information such as base rate and cost. In this paper, we aim to improve future research by showing how the inclusion of contextual information provides a more realistic picture of the research. Through both theoretical arguments and a real‐data example, we show that especially for those contexts where malicious intent is infrequent (ie, with low base rates of deception) that not factoring in the base rate overestimates the accuracy and therefore usefulness. We conclude with recommendations for how future research should provide a fuller picture of the accuracy and usefulness of ADDs.
Sodium silicate activated slag‐fly ash binders: Part III—Composition of soft gel and calorimetry
Authors: Sankar Kaushik , Stynoski Peter , Kriven Waltraud M. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractSodium silicate activated, slag‐fly ash binders are potential alternative binders to Portland cement. In this study, the early age properties of slag‐fly ash binders namely, set time, and heats of reaction were investigated. Set time was investigated using a combination of two methods namely, theASTMC403 penetration testing, and s‐wave ultrasonic wave reflectometry (SUWR). The discrepancy in set time identified by these two methods suggested the presence of a soft gel which eventually hardened with time. The composition of this soft gel was analyzed by suspending the chemical reaction of the binder after the soft gel formed, but before it hardened. In order to analyze the composition of the soft gel, selective chemical extractions were performed on the binder.29Si Magic Angle Spinning‐Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (MAS‐NMR), andFTIRspectroscopy were performed on binders and extraction residues. The soft gel contained a modified calcium silicate hydrate gel (C–N–S–H where N=Na), with a short mean chain length and no observable Al incorporation. Orthosilicate units were also found to be present in relatively high proportions when compared to hardened binders at later ages.

Published: November 2018

AbstractThree‐dimensional ceramic nanofiber‐assembled materials with large specific surface area and excellent thermal insulation properties are attracting increasing interests for their unique structure and promising applications. In this paper, we propose a facile methodology to fabricate three‐dimensional silicon nitride nanofiber‐knitted ceramic foams via in situ reactive synthesis from silicon foams. Silicon particle‐stabilized foams are fabricated for the first time using long‐chain surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as a hydrophobic modifier. First, the fabrication and stability of silicon foams are investigated. Based on the stable silicon foams, silicon nitride‐based nanofiber‐knitted ceramic foams are synthesized via in situ reactive sintering in nitrogen atmosphere. The novel ceramic foam materials consist of three‐dimensional nanofiber‐assembled strut wall and nanofiber‐spheres in the pores. The diameter of obtained silicon nitride nanofibers ranges from 15 to 100 nm. The unique nanofiber‐knitted foams may have potential applications in specific fields, including catalysis, adsorption, separation, and thermal insulation.

AbstractAimTo evaluate the effects of depressive symptom management interventions (DSMI) for low‐income mothers.BackgroundDepressive symptoms and depression are common complications following childbirth. Depressive symptoms experienced by low‐income mothers negatively affect infant–toddler development.DesignA systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted to provide a synthesized and critical appraisal of the included studies.Data SourcesWe conducted a systematic search of randomized controlled trials in the following electronic databases through November 2017: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and Cochrane Library CENTRAL.Review MethodsTen studies were found in the systematic review of DSMI in terms of content, mode of delivery, session, and provider. We then conducted a meta‐analysis of nine randomized controlled trials with 798 participants, comparing low‐income mothers with and without DSMI.ResultsA significant effect was noted for DSMI in improving depressive symptoms in low‐income mothers with young children and for interventions lasting 8 weeks or less.ConclusionThe meta‐analysis suggested that DSMI for low‐income mothers can be effective; however, the effectiveness varies by intervention type, intervention duration, and whether the mothers had other children.ImpactThe findings of this study will contribute to the development of effective DSMI by providing scientific evidence for the development of such programmes for low‐income mothers, especially with respect to target population and intervention duration.
The relationship between workplace characteristics and work ability in residential aged care: What is the role of work–life interaction?
Authors: Weale Victoria P. , Wells Yvonne , Oakman Jodi 
Published: November 2018

AbstractAimsTo examine whether the work–life interface (through work–family conflict and overall work–life balance) moderates the relationship between work ability and workplace demands and resources.DesignThis study used a cross‐sectional survey design to collect data from 426 employees working in residential aged care.MethodsA paper‐based questionnaire was distributed to all permanent and casual employees at eight aged care facilities in Melbourne, Australia, between June ‐ September 2013. Moderation analyses were conducted usingPROCESSv. 2.13 inSPSSv. 22.Results/FindingsAs expected, workplace demands and resources directly influenced workers’ work ability. In addition, moderate‐to‐high levels of work–family conflict and low‐to‐moderate levels of satisfaction with work–life balance combined interactively with particular workplace demands and resources (relationships with management, physical demands, and safety climate) to reduce work ability.ConclusionsThis study advances understanding of how work–life balance and work–life conflict can influence work ability levels and shows that addressing the work–life interface may be a legitimate means to improve work ability, potentially leading to continued workforce participation.ImpactStaff retention in the residential aged care sector needs to be addressed. One possible means of achieving this is through improving work ability. This study expanded knowledge of how the work–life interface may influence work ability.The research demonstrated that relationships between work ability and particular workplace demands and resources were moderated by the work–life interface. This finding has implications for how human resources managers of residential aged care facilities may improve workforce retention—through facilitating employees to manage the work–life interface better.

The cardio‐ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new measure of arterial stiffness that reflects the stiffness from the ascending aorta to the ankle arteries, and demonstrates little dependence on blood pressure during the evaluation. However, a comprehensive assessment of the association of CAVI with cardiovascular disease (CVD) has not been reported. We performed a systematic review to assess the association between CAVI and CVD. We searched for both prospective and cross‐sectional studies using MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane from inception until April 11, 2017. We pooled the results using random‐effects models. Among 1519 records, we identified nine prospective studies (n = 5214) and 17 cross‐sectional eligible studies (n = 7309), with most enrolling high CVD risk populations in Asia. All nine prospective studies investigated composite CVD events as an outcome (498 cases including coronary events and stroke) but modeled CAVI inconsistently. The pooled adjusted hazard ratio for CVD events per 1 standard deviation increment of CAVI in four studies was 1.20 (95% CI: 1.05‐1.36, P = 0.006). Of the 17 cross‐sectional studies, 13 studies compared CAVI values between patients with and without CVD and all reported significantly higher values in those with CVD (pooled mean difference in CAVI values 1.28 [0.86‐1.70], P < 0.001). This systematic review suggests a modest association between CAVI and incident CVD risk, and highlights the need for studies assessing CAVI as a predictor of CVD in the general population and non‐Asian countries.

Published: November 2018

AbstractSea buckthorn (SB) seeds were used as raw material to obtain SB oil using two extraction methods: ultrasound and microwave assisted extraction. The favorable experimental conditions that maximize the extraction efficiency were investigated by applying response surface methodology (RSM). The selected key independent variables were ultrasonic intensity (UI), temperature, and time for ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) and microwave power, time, and solid/liquid ratio for microwave assisted extraction (MAE). The results obtained for extraction efficiency under optimal conditions are comparable for the two extraction methods (89.2 ± 0.50% for MAE and 87.4 ± 0.44% for UAE). The operation conditions for maximum extraction efficiency were: 13.77 W/cm2 UI, 40 °C temperature, and 10 min extraction time for UAE and 225 W microwave power, 15 ml/ g solid/liquid ratio, and 20 min extraction time for MAE. The extraction kinetics was characterized using a second order model for optimal conditions for UAE and MAE of SB seed oil.Practical applicationsThis article describes two modern methods of sea buckthorn seed oil extraction: ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) and microwave assisted extraction. Both methods offer many advantages if they are likened with conventional oil extraction. The results illustrated that both methods give comparable values for extraction efficiency, but with an advantage for UAE. The extraction time for UAE is shorter in comparison with MAE (10 min in comparison with 20 min).

Published: November 2018

AbstractFreshness is one of the important qualities of fish on the priority list of consumers. During storage of fish, nutrient components such as protein, carbohydrates, and fats decompose to produce many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which could be monitored using colorimetric sensor array (CSA). In this study, density functions theory (DFT) was applied to study the reaction between chromogenic sensitive materials and the characteristic gases of the fish during spoilage. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was applied to confirm the characteristic gases of mackerels during storage. In the course of monitoring the VOCs during the various stages of spoilage, the relative content (%) of trimethylamine (TMA) was found to be increasing relative to the other volatile substances. Thus, TMA was selected as the characteristic gas for further analysis. Six kinds of metalloporphyrins and protoporphyrin were selected as chromogenic sensitive materials to simulate the reaction with TMA. The results demonstrated that MnTPP, NiTPP, and FeTPP have the best ability binding with TMA, while TPP has the worst ability binding with TMA, so metal porphyrins can be added when constructing colorimetric sensor array.Practical applicationsFish is an important food commodity worldwide and is popular with consumers because of its delicacy and nutrition. However, fish is highly perishable as a consequence of biochemical and microbial breakdown mechanisms. In this study, colorimetric sensor array was constructed to monitor quality changes during fish spoilage. GC–MS was applied to confirm the characteristic gases of mackerels during storage. DFT was applied to study the reaction between chromogenic sensitive materials and the characteristic gases of the fish during spoilage. The outcome of this study provided a theoretical basis for the construction of CSA. Based on the reaction mechanism, we can shorten time of screening sensitive materials. After the construction of CSA, we can simplify and shorten the detection time and labor of fish freshness detection.
Psychometric properties of the Group Climate Instrument (GCI) in individuals with mild intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning

Published: November 2018

AbstractBackgroundThis study examined the psychometric properties of the Group Climate Instrument (GCI) in a sample of N = 189 adults (79% men) with mild intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning who were residents of a treatment facility in the Netherlands.MethodConstruct validity of the GCI was examined by means of confirmatory factor analysis. Also, reliability and convergent validity of the GCI were examined. We also examined the variability in perception of the living group climate between and within living groups by computing intraclass correlation coefficients.ResultsThe model contained four first‐order factors (support, growth, group atmosphere and repression) and a second‐order factor overall climate, providing preliminary support for construct validity of the GCI. Reliability coefficients were good for all factors. Preliminary evidence for convergent validity was found in significant moderate associations between subscales and single item ratings for the factors of group climate. The intraclass correlation coefficients indicated that a considerate proportion of variance can be attributed to between‐group differences.ConclusionsThe GCI might be used to assess perception of the living group climate for individuals with mild intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning in psychiatric and forensic care settings, although further development of the GCI and replication of our findings seem necessary.
Identity Inclusiveness and Centrality: Investigating Identity Correlates of Attitudes toward Immigrants and Immigration Policies

Published: November 2018

AbstractSocial psychology highlights ingroup identity as an important determinant of intergroup attitudes and relations; however, research has demonstrated that its effects can be positive, negative, or nonexistent depending on how such identity is conceptualized. This research explores how national identity inclusiveness (Study 1) and centrality (Study 2) are associated with immigration related attitudes in school and countrywide settings, respectively. Study 1 showed that teachers’ inclusive (i.e., overlapping) identities regarding their immigrant students related to positive attitudes toward these students, but not to attitudes about immigrants in general or immigration policy preferences. Study 2 found that national identity centrality was related to negative attitudes toward the social impact of immigrants, and to higher support for policies inhibiting the social inclusion of immigrants in the receiving community. Combined, these studies highlight the importance of considering different conceptualizations of ingroup identity in identifying relations to immigration‐based attitudes. Moreover, the studies highlight the value of promoting inclusive identities when aiming to improve attitudes toward immigrants. We conclude by discussing a new approach for promoting inclusive identities by framing immigrants as indispensable to the receiving community.
Differences, Threats, Values, and Country‐Specific Prejudice toward Immigrants and Foreign Workers in Three Major Receiving Countries: The United States, Germany, and Australia
Authors: Shin Hyeyoung , Dovidio John F. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractUsing nationally representative U.S., German, and Australian samples from the World Values Survey, we examined tendencies to perceive differences (socially‐ and biologically‐based) and threats (physical, economic, and symbolic) more negatively and cultural values (the emphasis on individual uniqueness and individual achievements) as predictors of prejudice toward immigrants and foreign workers. The effects of each of the predictors on prejudice in a regression model did not significantly differ among these countries, except for a biologically‐based difference, symbolic threat, and individual uniqueness. Compared to each of the other two countries, the effect of a biologically‐based difference was stronger in Australia, and the effect of symbolic threat was stronger in Germany. The effect of individual uniqueness was stronger in the U.S. than in Germany. Results demonstrated that country‐specific orientations toward race and ethnicity may affect the psychological dynamics of prejudice toward immigrants and foreign workers and ultimately the reception of these groups in each country.
