Centennialite, CaCu3(OH)6Cl2.nH2O,n≈ 0.7, a new kapellasite-like species, and a reassessment of calumetite
Authors: Crichton Wilson A. , Müller Harald 
Published: September 2017

AbstractThe new mineral centennialite (IMA 2013-110), CaCu3(OH)6Cl2·nH2O, was identified from three cotype specimens originating from the Centennial Mine, Houghton County, Michigan, USA, where it occurs as a secondary product, after acid water action upon supergene Cu mineralization in association with, and essentially indivisible from, other copper-containing minerals such as calumetite and atacamite family minerals. It forms as pale to azure blue encrustations, often taking a botryoidal form. Centennialite is trigonal,,a= 6.6606(9) Å,c= 5.8004(8) Å,V= 222.85(6) Å3,Z= 1. The strongest powder X-ray diffraction lines aredobs/Å [I%] (hkl), 5.799 [100] (001), 2.583 [75] (201), 2.886 [51] (111), 1.665 [20] (220), 1.605 [17] (023), 1.600 [15] (221), 1.444 [11] (222). The X-ray refined structure forms a kagome net of planar coordinated CuO4units with Jahn-Teller coordinated Cl apices to form octahedra that edge-share to in-plane adjacent and flattened CaO6octahedra, which are centred about the lattice origin. All oxygen sites are protonated and shared between one Ca-octahedron and one CuO4planar unit. Three protonated sites are linked, by hydrogen-bonding to Cl sites, which sit on the triad axis. Each lattice has one Cl above and one below the Ca-Cu polyhedral plane. Consequently, the layers are stacked, along ⟨001⟩, with two Cl sites between layers. In addition to this kapellasite-like topology, an extrac/2site is identified as being variably water-hosting and extends the coordination of the Ca-site to 8-fold, akin to the body-diagonal Pb-Cu sheet in murdochite. Centennialite conforms to the description of the ‘Unidentified Cu-Ca-Cl Mineral’ noted in Heinrich'sMineralogy of Michiganand is almost certainly identical to the supposed hexagonal basic calcium-copper hydroxychloride monohydrate of Erdöset al.(1981). We comment upon relationships between calumetite and centennialite and propose a substructure model for a synthetic calumetite-like phase that is related directly to centennialite.
GAC: Gene Associations with Clinical, a web based application
Authors: Zhang Xinyan , Rupji Manali , Kowalski Jeanne 
Published: September 2017

We present GAC, a shiny R based tool for interactive visualization of clinical associations based on high-dimensional data. The tool provides a web-based suite to perform supervised principal component analysis (SuperPC), an approach that uses both high-dimensional data, such as gene expression, combined with clinical data to infer clinical associations. We extended the approach to address binary outcomes, in addition to continuous and time-to-event data in our package, thereby increasing the use and flexibility of SuperPC. Additionally, the tool provides an interactive visualization for summarizing results based on a forest plot for both binary and time-to-event data. In summary, the GAC suite of tools provide a one stop shop for conducting statistical analysis to identify and visualize the association between a clinical outcome of interest and high-dimensional data types, such as genomic data. Our GAC package has been implemented in R and is available via http://shinygispa.winship.emory.edu/GAC/. The developmental repository is available at https://github.com/manalirupji/GAC.
Giving eyespots a shiner: Pharmacologic manipulation of the Io moth wing pattern
Authors: Sourakov Andrei 
Published: September 2017

Our knowledge of wing pattern formation in Lepidoptera has advanced significantly in recent years due to the careful examination of several groups of butterflies. The eyespot is a prominent feature of Lepidoptera wing pattern, especially in the family Saturniidae. The present study examined how sulfated polysaccharides affected the wing pattern formation of the Io moth, Automeris io (Saturniidae). Prepupae and pupae of this species were subjected to injections of heparin and cold shock. While the cold shock had little to no effect on wing pattern, the aberrations resulting from heparin injections were moderate to profound and depended on the dose and the stage at which injection was made. The changes consisted of expansion of the black ring around the dorsal hindwing eyespots and distortion of discal spots on both dorsal and ventral sides of forewings, suggesting a possible link between genetic controls of these elements. Several different types of scales form the normal color pattern of Automeris io, and heparin-induced changes correspond to changes in shape of scales. The resulting aberrations are dubbed ‘Black Eye’ and ‘Comet Eye.’ Other known aberrations of Automeris io eyespots are summarized, illustrated, and named.

Development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens our ability to treat common and life threatening infections. Identifying the emergence of AMR requires strengthening of surveillance for AMR, particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) where the burden of infection is highest and health systems are least able to respond. This work aimed, through a combination of desk-based investigation, discussion with colleagues worldwide, and visits to three contrasting countries (Ethiopia, Malawi and Vietnam), to map and compare existing models and surveillance systems for AMR, to examine what worked and what did not work. Current capacity for AMR surveillance varies in LMICs, but and systems in development are focussed on laboratory surveillance. This approach limits understanding of AMR and the extent to which laboratory results can inform local, national and international public health policy. An integrated model, combining clinical, laboratory and demographic surveillance in sentinel sites is more informative and costs for clinical and demographic surveillance are proportionally much lower. The speed and extent to which AMR surveillance can be strengthened depends on the functioning of the health system, and the resources available. Where there is existing laboratory capacity, it may be possible to develop 5-20 sentinel sites with a long term view of establishing comprehensive surveillance; but where health systems are weaker and laboratory infrastructure less developed, available expertise and resources may limit this to 1-2 sentinel sites. Prioritising core functions, such as automated blood cultures, reduces investment at each site. Expertise to support AMR surveillance in LMICs may come from a variety of international, or national, institutions. It is important that these organisations collaborate to support the health systems on which AMR surveillance is built, as well as improving technical capacity specifically relating to AMR surveillance. Strong collaborations, and leadership, drive successful AMR surveillance systems across countries and contexts.
Adopting a craft approach in the context of social innovation
Authors: Bofylatos Spyros 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
This article explores the value of adopting a craft-based approach in design for social innovation in the wider context of design for sustainability. The main position is that services are products of a craft process. By looking at the results of the processes of social innovation (services) and craft (craft artefacts), the shared characteristics of these two very different processes and results point towards a plethora of shared characteristics that could be leveraged. At the same time the common discourse between service design and social innovation provides a fertile ground for the ongoing debate about eco-modernism and radical approaches to sustainability. Synthesizing parts of craft into social innovation cross-pollinates both fields and opens up a robust theoretical background for service design while providing a platform for craft as redirective practice to further move towards sustainment. Craft in this context is understood as a future-oriented, post-industrial way of designing. These two fields of application of designerly ways of thinking complement each other on many different levels and from a theoretical point of view provide a path towards a sustainable future. Finding new ways of synthesizing the two and communicating the underlying, alternative system of values formed between them is part of the transition necessary to avoid the environmental and social catastrophes that we are marching towards.
Sustainable craft in practice: From practice to theory
Authors: Väänänen Niina , Pöllänen Sinikka , Kaipainen Minna , Vartiainen Leena 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Concerns regarding the presence and future of craft in a sustainability context increase the need to define the concept of ‘sustainable craft’. Based on interviews with sixteen craft practitioners in Finland, this qualitative study describes and analyses craft practitioners’ conceptions of their craft practices and products through the lens of sustainability as implemented in their actions. Using Grounded Theory, the analysis of interview data reveals a holistic system of sustainable craft, comprising three elements: sustainable practice, product and immaterial craft. Through their interaction, these intertwined elements were found to motivate and affect the practitioners and their products. The findings offer a novel perspective on the concept of sustainable craft and a systemic model of sustainability for use by practitioners.
Anna Piaggi, Aby Warburg and the Judgement of Paris, 2011
Authors: Clark Judith 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Judith Clark looks at fashion exhibition-making alongside Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas (Panel 55) for her 2011 gallery exhibition entitled The Judgement of Paris. By looking at the three goddesses’ attributes, the reproduced exhibition leaflet wonders about the styling of mannequins and props that are intrinsic to exhibition-making but extrinsic to the exhibited object (namely dress), which is omitted from the exhibition entirely. The visual essay links Aby Warburg to Anna Piaggi’s monthly collages for Vogue Italia and their idiosyncratic act of recovery.
Mobility on slips. Or: How to invest in paper. The Aby Warburg style
Authors: Krajewski Markus 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
The article examines the relationship between Aby Warburg and his library by analysing the media which is involved: first, the arrangement of the books according to the library’s principle of the ‘law of thse good neighbour’, which helps to order the books on the shelves. Second, the handling of the library is even more determined by Aby Warburg’s use of index cards and card indexes. Like his card index which is situated between him and the library, Aby Warburg himself is in between two library paradigms: on the one hand, as a person of the nineteenth century, Warburg belongs to the supporters of the systematic shelving instead of cataloguing the book collection. On the other hand his work is based on swift associations and direct responses to research questions, the associations not only thought up by words, but also visually, manually to be re-arranged on the shelves, which turns out to be a rather clumsy practice. The motor and initiator of these new orders is the card index with its mobile elements, allowing quick connections between the entities and resulting in enormous processes of re-shuffling of whole shelves and systematic arrangements in the book collection. It is especially the combination of these usually incompatible paradigms that makes the Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg such a unique institution and rich example of knowledge practices in the twentieth century.

A study was taken up during 2014-16 for evaluating the potential of an organic package of practice towards integrated crop production (green farming) in comparison to conventional farmers’ practice in West Bengal, India. Under green farming, compost was integrated with chemical fertilizer for soil management while organic plant/ pest management was undertaken utilizing Inhana Rational Farming (IRF) Technology. The study indicated higher yield (9.7 %), higher nutrient use efficiency and economic sustainability under green farming irrespective of study area or potato variety. Higher qualitative expression in terms of starch content, pulp pH, vitamin C etc. under green farming might be due to the organic plant management aimed at energization of plant biochemical functions. Soil quality development as noted under green farming might have been influenced by the on-farm produced compost containing rich self- generated micro flora (in order of 1016 per colony forming unit.). The study indicated that green farming may serve as an efficient substitute of conventional farming towards yield sustenance, abatement of food toxicity and quality end product; through higher use of renewable energy and activation of plant physiological functions.
The Impact of Innovation on Financial and Insurance Services Exports
Authors: Briggs Kristie 
Published: September 2017

AbstractStriving for growth in service exports is an important way many service-oriented countries offset trade deficits commonly generated by a disproportional dependence on manufactured imports. Exports of business services are a significant subset of overall services trade. This paper examines whether innovation enhances exports of financial and insurance services by firms operating in these service industries. Results indicate that innovation has a sizable, positive impact on financial and insurance services exports. This holds true when examining a country’s aggregate level of insurance and financial services exports, as well as bilateral exports to a specific trade partner. However, robustness tests suggest that the positive effect of innovation on bilateral financial and insurance services exports holds true only at the extensive margin of trade (i. e. the decision to export), but not at the intensive margin (i. e. how much to export).
Kinetics analysis of the forward extraction of cerium(III) by D2EHPA from chloride medium in the presence of two complexing agents using a constant interfacial area cell with laminar flow

AbstractThe kinetic studies performed on the forward extract of cerium(III) from chloride solution with the complex agents, citric acid (H3Cit) and lactic acid (HLac) in the presence of di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA, H2A2) have been investigated using a constant interfacial area cell with laminar flow. The effects of stirring speed, temperature, and specific interfacial area on the extraction rate are discussed separately, and the results show that the extraction process is a diffusion-controlled kinetics process with an interfacial reaction. Studies on the effect of pH value and H2A2concentration on the extraction rate are used to obtain the rate equation. The rate-controlling step is also suggested by the predictions derived from the interfacial reaction models, and the rate equation obtained by the kinetic model is consistent with that obtained by the experimental results. The information on the extraction kinetics in this extraction system will provide some knowledge of its application.
A new green process to produce activated alumina by spray pyrolysis

Published: September 2017

Abstract
A green process that uses the spray pyrolysis method to prepare activated alumina is proposed in this research. The effects of spray temperature, carrier gas pressure, and AlCl3 solution concentration are experimentally investigated using pure reagents. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and specific surface area (BET) analyses. The results indicate that the spray temperature is the most important factor on the conversion ratio of alumina during the spray pyrolysis process. The conversion ratio of alumina achieved over 99% at the following optimal conditions: temperature of 1000°C, pressure of 0.3 MPa, and AlCl3 solution concentration of 10 wt%. The activated alumina with 8–20 nm particle size (γ-Al2O3+α-Al2O3) was prepared using the same process, which well met the requirement of the catalyst carrier. The green utilization of high-alumina fly ash and acid recycling can be achieved by using this process.
The Empirics of Hidden Labor Force Dynamics in Germany
Authors: Provenzano Sandro 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
The unemployment rate is the core indicator when researchers and policy-makers assess the level of underemployment in an economy. However, accumulating evidence suggests that the unemployment rate is biased and underestimates the true level of underemployment. Closing this gap is especially important because the distortion systematically changes along the business cycle and affects the various subgroups of the population differently. Neglecting these effects when setting up policies might flaw its effectiveness and result in unexpected outcomes. Although the existence of these effects is widely agreed upon only little is known about the magnitude of these effects across various subgroups. Using a highly disaggregated dataset from Germany, this study examines the dynamics in labor force participation that go beyond the unemployment rate. Ample evidence is found that the discouraged and the added worker effect significantly affect particular subgroups in the German labor market. In addition, the discouraged and the added worker effect are generally found to be very symmetric in economic upturns and downturns. Moreover, the labor market reforms in Germany between 2003 and 2005 are found to have reduced the discouraged worker effect on average by 25%, leaving the added worker effect unchanged.
Using Network Analysis to Identify Key Actors in Collaborative Governance Processes

Published: September 2017

AbstractCollaborative governance is an increasingly popular form of governance. In theory, collaborative governance processes should be inclusive and value the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, including nonprofit organizations. In practice, this may not be the case. Recent work on representation in collaborative governance has found asymmetry in the way actor groups are descriptively and substantively represented in the collaborative governance process. We extend this line of work by employing network methods to create a diagnostic tool to identify which individual actors are substantively represented in collaborative governance processes over time. This tool is designed to systematically evaluate whether individual actors are under or overrepresented in collaborative governance. It provides a starting point for groups to discuss whether they are functionally inclusive and to understand whether non-inclusion is random or systematic. We apply the tool to collaborative governance in a regional food system and find variance in substantive representation by actor, indicating the collaborative governance process diverges from its inclusive design in practice. In particular, nonprofit organizations who are formally part of the collaborative governance process are not substantively represented in formal meetings to the same degree as city and county agencies.
Zuhören vs. Lesen: Verständnis literarischer Texte bei Schüler_innen
Authors: Schlücker Barbara , Hannken-Illjes Kati , Dehé Nicole 
Published: September 2017

AbstractThis paper investigates the effect of the mode of reception (listening vs. reading) on the comprehension of literary texts of different degrees of linguistic complexity in German, testing schoolchildren in Grade 8. To this end, two texts were used: the grammatically and lexically comparatively more complex novellaDas Erdbeben in Chiliby Heinrich von Kleist, and the comparatively less complex novellaKleider machen Leuteby Gottfried Keller. Thus, in contrast to previous studies on schoolchildren’s reading and listening comprehension, which often use very short texts composed specifically for the purpose of the study, a major aim of the current study is to test authentic literary material, which German students are regularly confronted with at school. Students read or listened to excerpts of these novellas and subsequently filled in a questionnaire containing questions on the correct comprehension of the respective texts, thereby addressing both local and global aspects of comprehension. The results are twofold: First, listening comprehension is better than reading comprehension, regardless of the complexity of the text (i.e. for both the Kleist and the Keller text). Second, the first effect is even stronger for global text comprehension than for comprehension of local details.
