Surface roughness effect on thermohydrodynamic analysis of journal bearings lubricated with couple stress fluids
Authors: Awati Vishwanath B. , Kengangutti Ashwini 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The paper presents, surface roughness effect for thermo-hydrodynamic analysis of journal bearings extended to couple stress lubricants with high polymer additives. A modified energy equation is simultaneously solved with heat transfer equation as well as modified Reynolds equation by using Multigrid method. The effects of couple stress and surface roughness on the performances of a finite journal bearing are presented in detail. Further, it is shown that lubricants with couple stress and surface roughness, not only increases the load capacity and decreases the friction coefficient, but also generates a lower bearing temperature field. Thus, the lubricant with couple stress improves the performance of journal bearings. The characteristics of bearing are compared with numerical results.

Published: October 2018

AbstractTopological indices are the atomic descriptors that portray the structures of chemical compounds and they help us to anticipate certain physico-compound properties like boiling point, enthalpy of vaporization and steadiness. The atom bond connectivity (ABC) index and geometric arithmetic (GA) index are topological indices which are defined as$ABC(G)=\sum_{uv\in E(G)}\sqrt{\frac{d_u+d_v-2}{d_ud_v}}$and$GA(G)=\sum_{uv\in E(G)}\frac{2\sqrt{d_ud_v}}{d_u+d_v}$, respectively, whereduis the degree of the vertexu. The aim of this paper is to introduced the new versions ofABCindex andGAindex namely multiple atom bond connectivity (ABC) index and multiple geometric arithmetic (GA) index. As an application, we have computed these newly defined indices for the octagonal grid$O_p^q$, the hexagonal gridH(p,q) and the square gridGp, q. Also, we compared these results obtained with the ones by other indices like theABC4index and theGA5index.
A method to reduce partial discharges in motor windings fed by PWM inverter
Authors: Roger Daniel , Ait-Amar Sonia , Napieralska Ewa 
Published: October 2018

AbstractA new approach for designing ac motor windings free of partial discharges (PD) is proposed. The method consists of adding a thin conducting layer on the outer surface of the enameled wire used for building the machine winding. With this additional layer, PDs occur only in critical zones localized near the wire connections rather than randomly in the residual voids between turns. With such deterministic localizations, it is possible to reduce strongly the PD activity by adding small quantities of varnish in the determined critical zones. After studying the validity of the Paschen’s hypotheses for this application, the Paschen’s law is coupled to an electrostatic finite element analysis, for predicting the Partial Discharge Inception Voltage (PDIV), which corresponds to the electronic avalanche ignition in the air of critical zones.

Authors: Freytag Carl 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
In 1942, one year after the occupation of Greece by the German “Wehrmacht”, the “Reichswirtschaftsministerium” set up the DEGRIGES (Deutsch-Griechische Warenausgleichsgesellschaft / German-Greek organization for the exchange of goods) for the control of trade between Germany and Greece.
The president was Otto Braun, owner of the Berlin-based „Transdanubia“, an Import- Export-Company. Braun organised in the 1920s in Bavaria illegal arms depots, and commanded „Feme“-murders. In Hungary he supported the fascists, and achieves the „aryanization“ of Jewish companies.
The focus of the investigation is on the activities of the DEGRIGES in the network of competing organizations like the greek branch of NSDAP, the Sudosteuropa-Gesellschaft, the SACIG (the Italian counterpart of DEGRIGES), and the Mitteleuropaischer Wirtschaftstag (MWT) − and on the competition with Hermann Neubacher, „Sonderbeauftrager“ of the Foreign Office for Greece, and Max Merten, one of the organizers of the deportation of the greek Jews to Auschwitz.
In summary, it can be stated that the DEGRIGES was from 1942 until 1944 (when it was liquidated during the withdrawal of the “Wehrmacht”) an „agency for the wellarranged exploitation of Greece“.
Individual and Collective Survival Strategies of Slovene Littoral Internees in Italian “Special Battalions” During World War II
Authors: Kosmač Miha 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The article presents various survival strategies developed by Slovene Littoral men interned in “special battalions” of the Italian army (10 June 1940 - 8 September 1943). The main aims of the Fascist authorities were to intern and subjugate the Slovene Littoral men, whom they regarded as “unreliable”, and to stem the resistance in the Julian March. By taking into account archival records and various oral/memory-based testimonies, the article sheds light on the life of Slovene Littoral men in special battalions and their individual and above all collective survival strategies divided into the following categories: procurement of additional food supplies, attitude to the superiors, cooperation with the local population, and comradeship.
Prosodic strengthening in reference to the lexical pitch accent system in South Kyungsang Korean
Authors: Cho Taehong , Kim Dong Jin , Kim Sahyang 
Published: October 2018

AbstractTheories of the phonetics-prosody interface suggest that prosodic strengthening that arises with prosodic structuring is not simply a low-level phonetic phenomenon, but it serves as a phonetic hallmark of a higher-order prosodic structure in reference to linguistic (phonological) contrast. The present study builds on this theoretical premise by examining acoustic realization of the phonological tonal contrast in the lexical pitch accent system of South Kyungsang (SK) Korean. Results showed that phonetic realization of F0 and the degree of glottalization (as reflected in spectral tilt measures such as H1-A1c and H1-A3c) of vowels in vowel-initial words were systematically modulated by the higher-order prosodic structure, and that the prosodic-structural modulation gave rise to distinct prosodic strengthening effects as a function of the source of prosodic strengthening. In particular, the prominence-induced strengthening (due to focus) entailed a phonetic polarizing effect on the F0 contrast in a way that enhances the phonological High vs. Low tone contrast. The boundary-induced strengthening effect, on the other hand, could be better understood as enhancing the phonetic clarity of prosodic junctures. The distinct prosodic strengthening effects were further evident in the way that glottalization was fine-tuned according to prosodic structure and phonological (tonal) contrast. Prosodic strengthening effects were also found to interact with intrinsic vowel height, implying that the low-level phonetic effect may be under speaker control in reference to higher-order prosodic and phonological contrast systems of the language. Finally, the results informed a theoretical debate regarding whether the Low tone that contrasts with the High tone in word-initial position should be considered lexically specified vs. post-lexical assigned.
Generalized Electromagnetic Fields Associated with the Hydrogen-Like Atom Problem

Abstract
It is known that the principle of minimal coupling in quantum mechanics determines a unique interaction form for a charged particle. By properly redefining the canonical commutation relation between (canonical) conjugate components of position and momentum of the particle, e.g. an electron, we restate the Dirac equation for the hydrogen-like atom problem incorporating a generalized minimal electromagnetic coupling. The corresponding interaction keeps the

Detection and Segmentation of Manufacturing Defects with Convolutional Neural Networks and Transfer Learning
Authors: Ferguson Max , Ak Ronay , Lee Yung-Tsun Tina , Law Kincho H. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Quality control is a fundamental component of many manufacturing processes, especially those involving casting or welding. However, manual quality control procedures are often time-consuming and error-prone. In order to meet the growing demand for high-quality products, the use of intelligent visual inspection systems is becoming essential in production lines. Recently, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown outstanding performance in both image classification and localization tasks. In this article, a system is proposed for the identification of casting defects in X-ray images, based on the Mask Region-based CNN architecture. The proposed defect detection system simultaneously performs defect detection and segmentation on input images, making it suitable for a range of defect detection tasks. It is shown that training the network to simultaneously perform defect detection and defect instance segmentation results in a higher defect detection accuracy than training on defect detection alone. Transfer learning is leveraged to reduce the training data demands and increase the prediction accuracy of the trained model. More specifically, the model is first trained with two large, openly available image datasets before fine-tuning on a relatively small metal casting X-ray dataset. The accuracy of the trained model exceeds the state-of-the art performance of the Grupo de Inteligencia de Máquina database of X-ray images (GDXray) Castings dataset and is fast enough to be used in a production setting. The system also performs well on the GDXray Welds dataset. A number of in-depth studies are conducted to explore how transfer learning, multitask learning, and multi-class learning influence the performance of the trained system.
Life history and phenology of Phylloicus pulchrus (Trichoptera: Calamoceratidae) in a tropical rainforest stream of Puerto Rico
Authors: Reyes-Torres Limarie J. , Ramírez Alonso 
Published: October 2018

Caddisflies are abundant, diverse, and important insects in freshwater ecosystems. However our knowledge on their life history is incomplete, in particular for the Neotropics. The objectives of this study were to describe the life history and phenology of Phylloicus pulchrus in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico. Eggs and larvae were reared to determine the species lifespan and time in each instar. Larval instars were determined based on a head width vs. pronotal suture length correlation (N= 120). Larvae and benthic leaf litter were sampled monthly at a headwater stream for a year; all specimens were classified into instars based on their case size. Adult P. pulchrus were sampled monthly for a year with a light trap and at various times with a Malaise trap. Monthly environmental variables were related to species and sex abundance. There was a gradient of egg development where eggs (within compound masses) closest to the water were more developed. There were five larval instars and reared larvae showed longer development times and more variable body measurements in later instars. The best correlation for larval instar determination was case length-head width (Pearson= 0.90, P= 2.2e-16, N= 120). Phylloicus pulchrus has a multivoltine life cycle, with asynchronous larval development. Adult abundance was low. First to third instar larvae were influenced significantly by rainfall and rainfall seasonality had a negative significant effect on second instar larval abundance (ANOVA= 7.45, P= 0.02).Compound egg masses were probably oviposited by different females that gathered for oviposition. Phylloicus pulchrus follows the predominant developmental characteristic of Trichoptera of having five larval stages. Development times were longer than expected (longest times for a Phylloicus species) and may be an effect of laboratory rearing. The influence of rainfall (and seasonality) on different larval instars highlights the importance of this variable on early larval development. The cause of low adult abundance remains unclear, but may be related to low emergence rates and trap efficiency. Rev. Biol. Trop. 66(2): 814-825. Epub 2018 June 01.
A Phase Ib, Open-Label Study of Dalantercept, an Activin Receptor-Like Kinase 1 Ligand Trap, plus Sorafenib in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

Lessons Learned
Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often have limited therapeutic responses to the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib, which is standard of care in advanced HCC. Targeting the activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1) and VEGF pathways simultaneously by combining the ALK1 ligand trap dalantercept with sorafenib may result in more effective angiogenic blockade and delay tumor progression in patients with advanced HCC. Although the combination was generally well tolerated, there was no additive antitumor activity with the combination of dalantercept plus sorafenib in patients with advanced HCC. No complete or partial responses were observed, and overall survival ranged from 1.9 to 23.3 months. These results suggest that, in this patient population, further development of the possible limited benefits of combination therapy with dalantercept plus sorafenib is not warranted.

Background
Targeting the activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathways may result in more effective angiogenic blockade in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods
In this phase Ib study, patients with advanced HCC were enrolled to dose-escalation cohorts, starting at 0.6 mg/kg dalantercept subcutaneously every 3 weeks plus 400 mg sorafenib orally once daily, or to a dose expansion cohort. The primary objective was to determine the safety and tolerability and the dalantercept maximum tolerated dose (MTD) level. Secondary objectives were to assess the preliminary activity and the association of pharmacodynamic biomarkers with tumor response.

Results
A total of 21 patients were enrolled in the study. Five patients received 0.6 mg/kg dalantercept in the first dose escalation cohort. Based on the initial safety results, the dose level was de-escalated to 0.4 mg/kg in the second cohort (n = 6). The MTD was identified as 0.4 mg/kg and used for the dose expansion cohort (n = 10). At this dose level, the combination was generally well tolerated. Overall survival ranged from 1.9 to 23.3 months, and the best overall response was stable disease.

Conclusion
The addition of dalantercept to sorafenib did not improve antitumor activity in patients with HCC. The dalantercept program in this population was discontinued.

Authors: S. Alph Shirley , T. Antony Leo Jerry , R. Shiji 
Published: October 2018

Background: Hypoglycemia is one of the important problems encountered in small for gestational age (SGA) neonates. The incidence and risk factors associated with hypoglycemia in the first 48 hours of life in Small for Gestational Age (SGA) Neonates was investigated in this study.Methods: Capillary Blood Glucose was screened by glucostix at 1, 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours of age in 100 SGA neonates fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: The overall incidence of hypoglycemia in SGA neonates in the study was 24%. The incidence of hypoglycemia was significantly higher in preterm SGA neonates (37.50%) when compared to term SGA neonates (17.65%). The incidence of symptomatic hypoglycemia was 9%. Maximum incidence of hypoglycemia was noted at 2 hours of life. Of the 24 SGA neonates with hypoglycemia, 33.33% had one episode of hypoglycemia, 45.83% had two episodes of hypoglycemia, 12.50% had three episodes of hypoglycemia, 8.33% had four episodes of hypoglycemia. None of the SGA neonate had more than four episodes of hypoglycemia. Early initiation of enteral feeding was significantly associated with decreased incidence of hypoglycemia in SGA neonates. There was no significant correlation between incidence of hypoglycemia in SGA neonates and gender of the baby, parity of mother, mode of delivery and type of IUGR.Conclusions: It is recommended to monitor all SGA neonates especially preterm SGA for hypoglycemia and ensure early initiation of enteral feeding in all SGA neonates.
