Authors: Liu Wei , Yang Shufeng , Li Jingshe , Wang Minghui 
Published: October 2016

AbstractA 3D transient numerical model of dephosphorization kinetics coupled with flow field in a top blown converter was built. Through the model the dephosphorization reaction rate influenced by the oxygen jets and the steel flow were simulated. The results show that the dephosphorization rate at the droplet metal–slag interface is two orders of magnitude faster than that at bath metal–slag interface. When the lance oxygen pressure increases from 0.7 to 0.8 MPa, the dephosphorization rate increases notably and the end content of P has a decrease of 19 %. However, when the pressure continues rising to 0.9 MPa, the dephosphorization rate has no significant increase. In addition, the lance height shows a nearly linear relation to the end P content of steel, that the lower the height, the faster the dephosphorization rate.

Published: October 2016

AbstractDetermining the mechanical properties of particleboard has gained a great importance due to its increasing usage as a building material in recent years. This study aims to develop artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple linear regression (MLR) models for predicting modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of particleboard depending on different pressing temperature, pressing time, pressing pressure and resin type. Experimental results indicated that the increased pressing temperature, time and pressure in manufacturing process generally improved the mechanical properties of particleboard. It was also seen that ANN and MLR models were highly successful in predicting the MOR and MOE of particleboard under given conditions. On the other hand, a comparison between ANN and MLR revealed that the ANN was superior compared to the MLR in predicting the MOR and MOE. Finally, the findings of this study are expected to provide beneficial insights for practitioners to better understand usability of such composite materials for engineering applications and to better assess the effects of pressing conditions on the MOR and MOE of particleboard.

Published: October 2016

AbstractStainless steel 441 was oxidized in water vapor containing atmospheres at 1,000 °C to study the contrary effects of water vapor on the oxidization process. The steel in 3.5 vol. % H2O containing atmosphere exhibited an relatively strong protective behavior. The reason was that the densification of the chromium oxide scale was promoted due to the sintering of the oxide grains via Cr-containing species vapor. But the oxidation of the steel in 11.5 ~ 15.6 vol. % H2O containing atmosphere followed a non-protective breakaway oxidation due to the breakage of the dense scale by “bubbles” and the formation of iron-rich oxides layer. Experimental result shows that the growth stress increased about 2 GPa during the first 70 ks in wet oxidizing atmosphere. The relatively slow increase of the oxides scale growth stress could be release in water vapor containing atmosphere.

Published: October 2016

AbstractThe effect of transversal design in Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers’ gain and noise figure performance is illustrated in this work. In this work, we investigate experimentally a single pass 980 nm pumped EDFA with partially doped Erbium core fiber (PDCF), which has the core partially doped with Erbium ions. Later, the enumerated results for PDCF are compared with a standard fully doped EDF, having similar Erbium ion doping concentration. The PDCF Amplifier gain and noise figure performance is studied against different pump power and signal power at different operating wavelengths. The noise figure indicates improvement due to reduced spontaneous emission from un-doped region of the core.
A Degree Distribution Optimization Algorithm for Image Transmission
Authors: Jiang Wei , Yang Junjie 
Published: October 2016

AbstractLuby Transform (LT) code is the first practical implementation of digital fountain code. The coding behavior of LT code is mainly decided by the degree distribution which determines the relationship between source data and codewords. Two degree distributions are suggested by Luby. They work well in typical situations but not optimally in case of finite encoding symbols. In this work, the degree distribution optimization algorithm is proposed to explore the potential of LT code. Firstly selection scheme of sparse degrees for LT codes is introduced. Then probability distribution is optimized according to the selected degrees. In image transmission, bit stream is sensitive to the channel noise and even a single bit error may cause the loss of synchronization between the encoder and the decoder. Therefore the proposed algorithm is designed for image transmission situation. Moreover, optimal class partition is studied for image transmission with unequal error protection. The experimental results are quite promising. Compared with LT code with robust soliton distribution, the proposed algorithm improves the final quality of recovered images obviously with the same overhead.
Ein Mikrokosmos der deutschsprachigen Emigration: Heinrich Loewe und die Sammlung des Beit Ariela
Authors: Siepmann Judith 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis paper introduces the collection of the German Zionist and librarian Heinrich Loewe (1869-1951) at the Municipal Library of Tel Aviv. A short biography of Loewe and an overview of the contents of the collection is followed by the presentation of a selection of letters which were sent to Loewe as head of the Municipal Library during the 1930s by German Jews who had already emigrated or were about to emigrate and wished to donate their books to this public institution. The paper traces the transfer of these books from the private realm to the public sphere of the library. It describes this transfer as a disruption of a private order against the background of the disruption of the larger order within which those collections had acquired their meaning and discusses their change of meaning that this transfer implicated as an elucidating reflection of the consequences of emigration.
Hölderlin in Jerusalem: Buber and Strauss on Poetry and the Limits of Dialogue
Authors: Barouch Lina 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis paper discusses a series of commentaries and lyrical texts by Martin Buber and Ludwig Strauss, which dwell on Hölderlin’s poetry and the dialogical ideas implicit therein (e.g. the dialogical vocation of the poet). The paper distinguishes between the dialogical ideal and its concretization in language, as the selected texts all strive to develop a dialogical poetics, yet at the same time engage with textual junctures where the dialogical mode collapses. This collapse is also registered in the historical sphere: Buber’s engagement with Heidegger’s paradigmatic Hölderlin studies calls for a comparison with Strauss’s reception of Hölderlin, and therefore points to an absent dialogue between these two contemporary scholars. This historical lacuna, which Buber may have wished to bridge, thus resonates with ideas on the limits of dialogue in the poetic sphere. The paper draws on further Hölderlin scholars, such as Peter Szondi and Winfried Menninghaus, and their discussion of the lyrical results of failed dialogue, and on the ideas of Franz Rosenzweig and Rabbi Nahman, in the mapping of the dialogical ideas of both Buber and Strauss. Strauss himself thus emerges as a scholar and poet who draws both on Hölderlinian motifs and notions and on dialogical ideas in contemporaneous German-Jewish thought.
Locating the Jewish Future: The Restoration of Looted Cultural Property in Early Postwar Europe
Authors: Gallas Elisabeth 
Published: October 2016

AbstractAt the end of World War II Allied soldiers found an unexpected amount of looted cultural property on German territory, property that had originally belonged to Jewish institutions and private owners from all over Europe. To take care of this precious booty the American Military Government for Germany organized an unprecedented initiative in cultural restitution. However, since most of the Jewish treasures found were heirless, traditional legislation based on bilateral intergovernmental regulations was insufficient for the task of finding just restitution solutions and meeting Jewish collective interests. In 1949, after complex legal negotiations, the New York based corporation Jewish Cultural Reconstruction (JCR) was officially installed to act as trustee for heirless Jewish cultural property found in the American Zone of Occupation. Not only was it extraordinary that the major Jewish organizations of the time – representing Palestine/Israel as well as the Diaspora – worked together via JCR, this was also the first time that international law recognized a legal representative of the Jewish collective. This paper explores the history of JCR, focusing, in particular, on the manifold and conflicting perceptions of the future of Jewish existence post-1945 that informed its work. On the one hand, the reestablished Jewish communities of Europe, especially the one in Germany, strongly contested JCR’s goal of distributing the rescued material to Jewish centers outside of Europe. Unlike JCR, they believed in a new Jewish beginning on the war-torn continent. On the other hand, Zionist- versus Diaspora-centered views also led to internal conflicts within JCR regarding the rightful ownership and appropriate relocation of European Jewish cultural heritage. JCR’s history reveals significant facets of Jewish agency and future planning in the early postwar years while reflecting the new topography of Jewish existence after the Holocaust.
Ein vergessenes Kapitel jüdischer Diplomatie: Richard Lichtheim in den Botschaften Konstantinopels (1913–1917)
Authors: Kirchner Andrea 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis article deals with Richard Lichtheim’s (1885–1963) successful diplomatic negotiations on behalf of the persecuted Jewish community in Palestine during the First World War. Between 1913 and 1917 the Berlin-born emissary represented the Zionist Organization in Constantinople. Here, his top priority eventually became to win the political support of the Great Powers in order to protect the Yishuv against the harassment of the Turkish authorities, who occasionally threatened the existence of the Jewish settlements in Palestine. Thanks to Lichtheim’s relentless efforts, both the German Reich and the United States repeatedly exerted their influence on the Sublime Porte and thus prevented the expulsion of the Jewish population of Palestine. This article sheds light on a forgotten chapter of Jewish diplomacy. It introduces Richard Licht­heim as an important policymaker during the First World War and shows how he succeeded in winning over both the German and American ambassadors as influential advocates for the Jewish community in Palestine.
The Human One? A Controversial CEB Translation Choice
Authors: Westfall Cynthia Long 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The choice of the editors of the Common English Bible (CEB) to translate Greek, Aramaic and
English phrases as either “The Human One” or “the human being” has been controversial. However, it
renders the “literal” meaning of a stock idiom that was in use both in the Aramaic of Jesus’ day and in the
Hebrew and Aramaic language in the OT. For those who are not taught the literal meaning of the idiom,
the traditional literalistic word-for-word translation of ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου as “the Son of Man” is either
meaningless or misleading both in terms of Christology and for following the narrative of the Gospels. An
accurate translation of the sense of the Aramaic and Hebrew idiom was virtually a necessary choice for
semantic accuracy, and reflects the CEB’s purpose and translation theory. It is also a missional choice to
render the Word of God in a way that is understood in the target audience’s language. However, the majority
of the public that purchases Bibles has religious and theological commitments and tends to expect or even
demand specific theological vocabulary and technical terms that are part of a specialized religious register,
even though it is misunderstood. Therefore, the CEB engages in “norm-breaking” by attempting to choose
vocabulary from registers that are currently in use in the English language in comparable contexts as those
that are represented in the source text.
The rhetoric of love and self-narrativesin the cinema image: A Peircean approach
Authors: Lee Yunhee , Soh Jongseok 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis paper aims to examine processes of self-interpretation by virtue of a psychological tool of love as communication medium. Within the Peircean semiotic perspective, the concept of love is seen as feeling-ideas, action, and a law in three stages, which are accompanied by those of the self, corresponding to the innovative, the critical, and the expressive. Based on the presupposition of the relation between love and the self, self-controlled action, i. e. so-called interpreting activity, reveals that love is a driving force for evolution of the self which is connected to other as social organism. The three stages of love are embodied in sensible hearts, intimate relationships with others, and a sense of community for sensible judgement. These processes of interpreting activity allow one to connect each stage of the self as self-narrative comprising sensitivity to phenomenon as a first-person perspective, actual intimate connection with other, and a general feeling towards community. We will demonstrate these points by discussing the relevant images from the filmThe Great Beauty(2013).
Aerodynamic Optimization of Turbine Based Combined Cycle Nozzle
Authors: Li Shangze , Zhang Yufei , Chen Haixin , Deng Kaiwen 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
This paper aims at optimizing a Turbine Based Combined Cycle (TBCC) nozzle for upgrading its aerodynamic performance in multiple flight conditions. An in-house RANS solver called NSAWET is employed for aerodynamic evaluation. The optimizer is a differential evolution algorithm combined with a response surface. Firstly, a two-dimensional model of the initial TBCC nozzle system is investigated. The flow field of the nozzle contains complicated shockwave interactions that cause thrust loss. Then multi-point aerodynamic optimization of a two-dimensional ramjet nozzle is carried out, which objectives are to maximize the thrust coefficients at Mach numbers 2.5, 3.0 and 4.0. The objective functions are increased substantially at the first two Mach numbers after optimization, while slightly decreased at the last Mach number. The turbine flow path is built up based on the optimized profile and the performances in typical flight conditions are validated. Results demonstrate that both the ramjet and turbine nozzles are improved in most flight conditions.
Inverse Simulation for Gas Turbine Engine Control through Differential Algebraic Inequality Formulation
Authors: Uppal Tarun , Raha Soumyendu , Srivastava Suresh 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Modern day gas turbines are prime movers in land, air and sea. They have stringent performance requirements to meet the complex mission objectives. Optimal control strategies can help them meet their performance objectives more efficiently. A novel inverse simulation method for optimal control and system analysis studies using Differential Algebraic Equality/Inequality (DAE/DAI) technique is brought out in this paper with a case study. The gas turbine model together with safety constraints and performance specifications is represented as a high index DAI/DAE system. The solution for this DAE/DAI system is obtained using a new numerical approach that is capable of handling both equality and inequality constraints on system dynamics. The algorithm involves direct numerical integration of a DAI formulation in a time stepping manner using Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) solver that detects and satisfy active constraints at each time step (mesh point). In this unique approach the model and the constraints are always solved together. The method ensures stable solution at each time step, local minimum at each iteration of simulation and provides a regularised basis to the solver. Compared to other existing computationally intensive techniques in usage, this approach is easy, ensures continuous constraint satisfaction and provides a viable option for Model Predictive Control (MPC) of gas turbine engines.

ObjectiveTo assess the association of bone mass and marrow adipose tissue (MAT) with other fat depots, insulin resistance, bone remodeling markers, adipokines and glucose control in type 2 diabetes and obesity.Design and methodsThe study groups comprised 24 controls (C), 26 obese (O) and 28 type 2 diabetes. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to determine bone mineral density (BMD). Blood samples were collected for biochemical measurements.1H Magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to assess MAT in the L3 vertebra, and abdominal magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess intrahepatic lipids in visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue. Regression analysis models were used to test the association between parameters.ResultsAt all sites tested, BMD was higher in type 2 diabetes than in O and C subjects. The C group showed lower VAT values than the type 2 diabetes group and lower IHL than the O and type 2 diabetes groups. However, MAT was similar in the 3 groups. Osteocalcin and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen were lower in type 2 diabetes than those in C and O subjects. Moreover, at all sites, BMD was negatively associated with osteocalcin. No association was observed between MAT and VAT. No relationship was observed among MAT and HOMA-IR, leptin, adiponectin or Pref-1, but MAT was positively associated with glycated hemoglobin.ConclusionsMAT is not a niche for fat accumulation under conditions of energy surplus and type 2 diabetes, also is not associated with VAT or insulin resistance. MAT is associated with glycated hemoglobin.
THE USE OF PATH ANALYSIS IN THE DETERMINATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR EFFECTS ON THE TOTAL PRODUCTION OF AQUACULTURE PONDS IN PASURUAN, EAST JAVA PROVINCE
Authors: Asaad Andi Indra Jaya , Ratnawati Erna , Mustafa Akhmad 
Published: October 2016

Environmental factors in the form of soil and water quality are the important factors of aquaculture pond productivity, including total production (tiger shrimps, Penaeus monodon, and milkfish, Chanos chanos) in Pasuruan, East Java Province. The objective of this study was to analyze the direct or indirect effects of soil and water quality on the total production of ponds in Pasuruan using a path analysis application. Data were collected in the pond areas around Pasuruan Regency including Nguling, Lekok, Rejoso, Keraton, and Bangil Sub-Districts as well as Pasuruan City. Soil quality was determined as a free variable and exogen; water quality as mediate variable, suspended, and endogen; as well as milkfish production as suspended variable and endogen. Environmental characteristics were illustrated using descriptive statistics, while environment factor effects on total production were analyzed using path analysis. The results of path analysis show that from the 12 analyzed soil quality variables, only two variables were affected in the total production of pond (tiger shrimps and milkfish) namely: contents of soil organic carbon and soil phosphate. While based on 11 water quality variables, two variables (water salinity and water iron) were affected the total production of ponds in Pasuruan Regency. The direct effects of soil organic carbon and phosphate on the total production were 0.314 and -0.600, respectively. Water salinity and water iron gave direct effects on total production amounting to -0.678 and 0.358 respectively. It is also found that two soil variables which were affected in the total production, did not indicate the effect towards water quality in ponds. Further implication of this research is put more attention for these variables into pond’s management in order to gain more production. Technical application could be appropriate for pond preparation and frequently water changing during grow out.
FATTY ACID PROFILES OF CYCLOPOID COPEPOD NAUPLII Apocyclops panamensis AND THE EFFECTS OF SALINITY CHANGE
Authors: Sumiarsa Gede Suwarthama , Phelps Ronald P. 
Published: October 2016

<p>Lipid and fatty acid profiles were described for copepod nauplii Apocy clops panamensis from fertilized brackish water ponds, and after being acclimated to fullsea water salinity. Mean total lipid content of copepod nauplii collected from ponds fertilized with inorganic fertilizer combined either with alfalfa meal, rice bran, wheat bran, and a combination of these fertilizers ranged from 5.66 ± 0.15 to 7.76% ± 0.27%. Non-polar (neutral) lipid fraction of pond copepod nauplii was a significantly higher percentage of the total lipid content (74.5 ± 1.8 - 93.5% ± 1.0%) compared to those of polar lipid (6.5 ± 1.0 - 21.3% ± 1.8%) (P= 0.000). DHA/EPA ratio in neutral lipids ranged from 1.8 ± 0.2 - 2.0 ± 0.1 with no significant differences in three fertilization regimes. DHA was 27.5% ± 0.56% of the neutral lipids and EPA 14.8% ± 0.8%. Acclimation of copepod nauplii for six hours from brackish to full-sea water salinity reduced their lipid content and individual dry weight significantly. Mean total lipid content was reduced 44.2%, non-polar lipid was reduced 46.9% and polar lipid was reduced 24.4%. Acclimation altered the DHA/EPA ratio, in the neutral fraction the ratio increased 26.3% but in the polar fraction it decreased 25%.</p>
