Evaluation of brick infill walls under in-plane and out-of-plane loading
Authors: Bahreini V. , Mahdi T. , Najafizadeh M. M. 
Published: February 2017

In this paper, the in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OP) interaction of masonry infill walls with various length-to-height ratios and vertical forces from dead and live loads are studied. For this purpose, calibrated numerical simulation for IP and OP behaviors of infilled frames has been exploited. In this method, first, the vertical loads are applied, then increasing IP displacement is imposed at the top of the models and finally OP demands are applied to the walls up to their failure. Two different methods of applying OP loading are studied: increasing static uniform pressure on the wall, and increasing dynamic acceleration. Three levels of IP displacement demands are considered: at the first reduction of tangential stiffness for IP force-displacement response, at the maximum IP strength, and at the displacement related to 20 % reduction of IP strength. The results obviously show that up to the point of the maximum IP strength capacity, the OP behavior of the considered models slightly enhanced due to the effects of improved arching actions originated from the development of IP compressive diagonal struts. Moreover, slight differences exist between the static and dynamic loadings in OP direction, hence proving the accuracy of the equivalent static loading in determining OP capacity for the studied infilled frames. Comparing the results of masonry infilled frames with those of the corresponding masonry walls indicate that the IP displacements negatively affect the OP strength in the latter, even at small IP displacement demands; however, the rate of OP strength reduction in larger IP drift ratios is lower compared to that of the corresponding infilled frame.
TOTALLY MAGIC INJECTIONS
Authors: D. Wallis W. 
Published: February 2017

A labelling is a mapping whose domain is some set of graph elements- the set of vertices, for example, or the set of all vertices and edges - and whose range is a set of positive integers. In particular, if the labels associated with any edge - the label on the edge itself, and those on its endpoints -always add to the same sum, the labeling, and the graph possessing it, is called magic. A related concept, a vertex-magic total labeling, is one in which the sum of the label on any vertex with the labels on the edges containing it is always constant. A labeling which has both the vertex-magic and edge-magic properties (usually with two different constants) is called totally magic, as is a graph possessing such a labeling. In this paper we survey what is known about totally magic graphs and an important generalization.DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.22342/jims.0.0.24.123-131
A FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL VARIATIONAL BOUSSINESQ EQUATIONS
Authors: Suryanto A. , Groesen E. van 
Published: February 2017

The variational Boussinesq equations derived by Klopman et. al. (2005) con-verse mass, momentum and positive-definite energy. Moreover, they were shown to have significantly improved frequency dispersion characteristics, making it suitable for wave simulation from relatively deep to shallow water. In this paper we develop a numerica lcode for the variational Boussinesq equations. This code uses a fourth-order predictor-corrector method for time derivatives and fourth-order finite difference method for the first-order spatial derivatives. The numerical method is validated against experimen-tal data for one-dimensional nonlinear wave transformation problems. Furthermore, the method is used to illustrate the dispersive effects on tsunami-type of wave propagation.DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.22342/jims.14.1.57.1-11
A NOTE ON THE EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS OF A BOUNDED MEAN-REVERTING PROCESS

Published: February 2017

We study a stochastic differential equation (SDE) describing a class of mean-reverting diffusions on a bounded interval. The drift coefficient is not continuous near theboundaries. Nor does it satisfy either of the usual Lipschitz or linear growth conditions.We characterize the boundary behaviour, identifying two possibilities: entrance boundaryand regular boundary. In the case of an entrance boundary we establish existence anduniqueness of the solution to the SDE.DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.22342/jims.14.2.53.83-94
THE EXTREME POSITION AND AMPLITUDE AMPLIFICATION OF BICHROMATIC WAVES PROPAGATION BASED ON THIRD ORDER SOLUTION OF BOUSSINESQ EQUATION
Authors: . Marwan , . Andonowati 
Published: February 2017

This paper concerns with the down-stream propagation of waves over initially still water. Such a study is relevant to generate waves of large amplitude in wave tankof a hydrodynamic laboratory. Input in the form of a time signal is provided at the wave-maker located at one side of the wave tank; the resulting wave then propagates over initially still water towards the beach at the other side of the tank. Experiments show that nonlinear effects will deform the waves and may lead to large wave with waves height larger than twice the original input; the deformation may show itself as peakingand splitting. It is direct scientific interest to understand and quantify the nonlinear distortion; it is also much practical interest to know at which location in the wave tank,the extreme position, the waves will achieve their maximum amplitude and to know the amplitude amplification factor. To investigate this, a previously introduced concept called Maximal Temporal Amplitude (MTA) is used: at each location the maximum over time ofthe wave elevation. An explicit expression of the MTA cannot be found in general from the governing equations and generating signals. In this paper we will use Boussinesq modeland third order approximation theory to calculate the approximate extreme positions and amplification factor for wave-group that originate from initially bi-chromatic type of wave. The wave is described by superposition of two monochromatic waves. We show that, the extreme position depends on the amplitude and the wave length of the group.The theoretical results are verified with numerical as well as experimental results for comparison.DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.22342/jims.14.2.54.95-110

Published: February 2017

A paper by Mischaikow and Nanda [14] uses ﬁltered acyclic matchingsto form a Morse ﬁltration for a ﬁltered complex. The Morse ﬁltration is smallerin size, yet has persistent homology equivalent to that of the original. We give anextension of acyclic matchings to the case of zigzag complexes and prove that theMorse zigzag complex similarly obtained has zigzag homology isomorphic to thatof the original. We present an algorithm to compute a Morse zigzag complex for agiven zigzag complex and some numerical examples. Since the Morse zigzag complexis smaller in size, calculations of its zigzag homology tend to complete faster thanthose for the original zigzag complex.DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.22342/jims.20.1.177.47-75
ANTIMAGIC LABELING OF GENERALIZED SAUSAGE GRAPHS
Authors: Phanalasy Oudone 
Published: February 2017

An antimagic labeling of a graph with q edges is a bijection from the set of edges to the set of positive integers {1,2,...,q} such that all vertex weights are pairwise distinct, where the vertex weight of a vertex is the sum of the labels of all the edges incident with that vertex. A graph is antimagic if it has an antimagic labeling. In this paper we construct antimagic labeling for the family of generalized sausage graphs.DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.22342/jims.20.2.184.95-110

Using the Hasse diagrams of concept lattices, we investigate therelations between matroids and geometric contexts, followed byjudging a mathematical construction to be a matroid. We provide anidea to find out the dual of a matroid from the ways of conceptlattice drawing. In addition, we utilize the Hasse diagrams ofconcept lattices to discuss the minors of matroids, direct sum ofmatroids and the connectivity of a matroid. All the consequences demonstrate that the theory of concept lattice drawing can be usedinto matroids. This generalizes the applied fields of conceptlattices.DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.22342/jims.22.2.267.183-190
Incisor and molar overjet, arch contraction, and molar relationship in the mixed dentition in repaired complete unilateral cleft lip and palate: A qualitative and quantitative appraisal
Authors: Disthaporn Suteeta , Suri Sunjay , Ross Bruce , Tompson Bryan , Baena Diogenes , Fisher David , Lou Wendy 
Published: February 2017

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To compare the mixed dentition incisor and molar overjet, severity of contraction of the dental arch, and the sagittal molar relationship on the cleft side vs the noncleft side in children with repaired complete unilateral cleft of the lip and palate (UCLP).

Materials and Methods:
Orthodontic records taken prior to orthodontic preparation for alveolar bone grafting were screened to select study casts from patients with nonsyndromic repaired complete UCLP who did not have mandibular skeletal or dental asymmetry. The study sample comprised dental casts from 74 children aged 8.9 ± 1 years. Standardized digital photographs were acquired at 1:1 magnification. A coordinate system was developed using digital image-processing software (Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Illustrator). Incisor and molar overjet, Angle's classification, and arch contraction were recorded. Descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and kappa statistics were used to compare the cleft and noncleft sides.

Results:
A negative overjet of −1 to −5 mm was often present at the incisors, with greater frequency and magnitude on the cleft side. Class II molar relation was more frequent on the cleft side (61.1%) than on the noncleft side (47.2%). Significantly greater contraction of the cleft side deciduous canine and deciduous first molar was noted, while the difference was very minor at the first permanent molar.

Conclusions:
Cleft side maxillary arch contraction was most severe in the deciduous canine and first deciduous molar region and progressively less severe in the posterior region of the arch. A greater frequency and severity of negative overjet and Class II molar relationship was seen on the cleft side.

Published: February 2017

BackgroundThe cancer strategy for England (2015–2020) recommends GPs prescribe tamoxifen for breast cancer primary prevention among women at increased risk.AimTo investigate GPs’ attitudes towards prescribing tamoxifen.Design and settingIn an online survey, GPs in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales (n = 928) were randomised using a 2 × 2 between-subjects design to read one of four vignettes describing a healthy patient seeking a tamoxifen prescription.MethodIn the vignette, the hypothetical patient’s breast cancer risk (moderate versus high) and the clinician initiating the prescription (GP prescriber versus secondary care clinician [SCC] prescriber) were manipulated in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Outcomes were willingness to prescribe, comfort discussing harms and benefits, comfort managing the patient, factors affecting the prescribing decision, and awareness of tamoxifen and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline CG164.ResultsHalf (51.7%) of the GPs knew tamoxifen can reduce breast cancer risk, and one-quarter (24.1%) were aware of NICE guideline CG164. Responders asked to initiate prescribing (GP prescriber) were less willing to prescribe tamoxifen than those continuing a prescription initiated in secondary care (SCC prescriber) (68.9% versus 84.6%, P<0.001). The GP prescribers reported less comfort discussing tamoxifen (53.4% versus 62.5%, P = 0.01). GPs willing to prescribe were more likely to be aware of the NICE guideline (P = 0.039) and to have acknowledged the benefits of tamoxifen (P<0.001), and were less likely to have considered its off-licence status (P<0.001).ConclusionInitiating tamoxifen prescriptions for preventive therapy in secondary care before asking GPs to continue the patient’s care may overcome some prescribing barriers.

Published: February 2017

BackgroundIt is estimated that approximately 40% of all cases of cancer are attributable to lifestyle factors. Providing people with personalised information about their future risk of cancer may help promote behaviour change.AimTo explore the views of health professionals on incorporating personalised cancer risk information, based on lifestyle factors, into general practice.Design and settingQualitative study using data from six focus groups with a total of 24 general practice health professionals from the NHS Nene Clinical Commissioning Group in England.MethodThe focus groups were guided by a schedule covering current provision of lifestyle advice relating to cancer and views on incorporating personalised cancer risk information. Data were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and then analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsProviding lifestyle advice was viewed as a core activity within general practice but the influence of lifestyle on cancer risk was rarely discussed. The word ‘cancer’ was seen as a potentially powerful motivator for lifestyle change but the fact that it could generate health anxiety was also recognised. Most focus group participants felt that a numerical risk estimate was more likely to influence behaviour than generic advice. All felt that general practice should provide this information, but there was a clear need for additional resources for it to be offered widely.ConclusionStudy participants were in support of providing personalised cancer risk information in general practice. The findings highlight a number of potential benefits and challenges that will inform the future development of interventions in general practice to promote behaviour change for cancer prevention.
Nouvelle espèce du genre Typhlops (Serpentes, Typhlopidae) de l'île de Saint-Barthélemy, comparaison avec les autres espèces des Petites Antilles
Authors: Breuil Michel 
Published: February 2017

New species of the genus Typhlops (Serpentes, Typhlopidae) from the island of Saint-Barthélemy, comparison with the other species of the Lesser Antilles.
A new species of the wormsnake Typhlops is described from the island of Saint-Barthélemy (Guadeloupe, French West Indies) where this snake genus was not previously known. The scales and coloration characteristics of the unique known specimen of the Saint-Barthélemy Typhlops allow to tell it without doubt from other Typhlops living in the Neotropics. This specimen is not an odd variant of a well-known species introduced in the island.

Published: February 2017

Premise of the study:Southwestern Britain is an emblematic hotspot of polyploid diversity of whitebeams (Sorbus aria agg.; Rosaceae) with ca. 30 polyploid endemic species. The tetraploid S. porrigentiformis is postulated as one of the parents of most of these endemics, along with the sexual diploid S. aria s. str. and the tetraploid S. rupicola.Methods and Results:We isolated 16 nuclear microsatellite loci from S. porrigentiformis and characterized them on 45 trees representing the three putative parental species. Eleven loci were polymorphic, and eight of them exhibited species‐specific alleles. Allele numbers ranged from one to 11, and observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.40 to 1.00. The intraspecific levels of variation were very low, in agreement with the facultative apomictic reproduction hypothesized for this species.Conclusions:The species‐specific alleles will be useful for tracing the origin of the narrowly distributed Sorbus taxa. In addition, the assessment of diversity levels will help design a conservation strategy for the polyploid complex.

Abstract
We present Spitzer secondary-eclipse observations of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-13 b in the 3.6 and 4.5 μm bands. HAT-P-13 b inhabits a two-planet system with a configuration that enables constraints on the planet’s second Love number,

This anomalous result challenges both interior models and the dynamical assumptions that enable them, including the essential assumption of apsidal alignment. We also report eclipse depths of 0.081% ± 0.008% in the 3.6 μm channel and 0.088% ± 0.028% in the 4.5 μm channel. These photometric results are non-uniquely consistent with solar-abundance composition without any thermal inversion.
Tracking the Magnetic Flux in and Around Sunspots
Authors: Sheeley Jr. N. R. , Stauffer J. R. , Thomassie J. C. , Warren H. P. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
We have developed a procedure for tracking sunspots observed by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on the Solar Dynamics Observatory and for making curvature-corrected space/time maps of the associated line-of-sight magnetic field and continuum intensity. We apply this procedure to 36 sunspots, each observed continuously for nine days around its central meridian passage time, and find that the proper motions separate into two distinct components depending on their speeds. Fast (∼3–5 km s−1) motions, comparable to Evershed flows, are produced by weak vertical fluctuations of the horizontal canopy field and recur on a timescale of 12–20 min. Slow (∼0.3–0.5 km s−1) motions diverge from a sunspot-centered ring whose location depends on the size of the sunspot, occurring in the mid-penumbra for large sunspots and at the outer edge of the penumbra for small sunspots. The slow ingoing features are contracting spokes of a quasi-vertical field of umbral polarity. These inflows disappear when the sunspot loses its penumbra, and may be related to inward-moving penumbral grain. The slow outgoing features may have either polarity depending on whether they originate from quasi-vertical fields of umbral polarity or from the outer edge of the canopy. When a sunspot decays, the penumbra and canopy disappear, and the moat becomes filled with slow outflows of umbral polarity. We apply our procedure to decaying sunspots, to long-lived sunspots, and to numerical simulations of a long-lived sunspot by Rempel.
Inferring the Composition of Super-Jupiter Mass Companions of Pulsars with Radio Line Spectroscopy
Authors: Ray Alak , Loeb Abraham 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
We propose using radio line spectroscopy to detect molecular absorption lines (such as OH at 1.6–1.7 GHz) before and after the total eclipse of black widow and other short orbital period binary pulsars with low-mass companions. The companion in such a binary may be ablated away by energetic particles and high-energy radiation produced by the pulsar wind. The observations will probe the eclipsing wind being ablated by the pulsar and constrain the nature of the companion and its surroundings. Maser emission from the interstellar medium stimulated by a pulsar beam might also be detected from the intrabinary medium. The short temporal resolution allowed by the millisecond pulsars can probe this medium with the high angular resolution of the pulsar beam.
