The Handbook of Design for Sustainability
Authors: Walker Stuart , Giard Jacques 
Published: July 2017

Sustainability has emerged as a central issue for contemporary societies and for the world community as a whole. Furthermore, many of the social and environmental concerns that are embodied in the term ‘sustainability’ are directly or indirectly related to design. Designers help to define our human made environment - how it is produced, how it is used, and how long it endures. Despite some forty years of development and increased awareness of the critical relationships that exist between design decisions and modes of production, energy use, environmental impacts, the nature of work and human exploitation, design for sustainability is still not widely understood or followed. The Handbook of Design for Sustainability presents a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of this crucial subject - its development, its methods, its practices and its potential futures.
Bringing together leading international scholars and new researchers to provide a substantive insight into the latest thinking and research within the field, The Handbook covers a breadth of historical and theoretical understandings and includes a series of original essays that explore methods and approaches for designers and design educators.
The Handbook presents the first systematic overview of the subject that, in addition to methods and examples, includes historical perspectives, philosophical approaches, business analyses, educational insights and emerging thinking. It is an invaluable resource for design researchers and students as well as design practitioners and private and public sector organizations wishing to develop more sustainable directions.
Symbol, Pattern & Symmetry
Authors: Hann Michael 
Published: July 2017

Symbol, Pattern and Symmetry: The Cultural Significance of Structure investigates how pattern and symbol has functioned in visual arts, exploring how connections and comparisons in geometrical pattern can be made across different cultures and how the significance of these designs has influenced craft throughout history.
The book features illustrative examples of symbol and pattern from a wide range of historical and cultural contexts, from Byzantine, Persian and Assyrian design, to case studies of Japanese and Chinese patterns. Looking at each culture's specific craft style, Hann shows how the visual arts are underpinned with a strict geometric structure, and argues that understanding these underlying structures enables us to classify and compare data from across cultures and historical periods.
Richly illustrated with both colour and black and white images, and with clear, original commentary, the book enables students, practitioners, teachers and researchers to explore the historical and cultural significance of symbol and pattern in craft and design, ultimately displaying how a geometrical dialogue in design can be established through history and culture

Exploration of System Vulnerability in Naval Ship Concept Design
Authors: Goodfriend David , Brown Alan J. 
Published: July 2017

This paper presents a methodology and analysis tool to explore naval ship system vulnerability using a simplified preliminary arrangement and vulnerability (Pa&V) modeling approach in the concept and requirements exploration (C&RE) process at Virginia Tech. This C&RE process uses a multiobjective genetic optimization (MOGO) to explore the design space for nondominated ship design solutions based on design effectiveness, cost, and risk. The previous C&rE process evaluated ship characteristics and only intact system options to determine a design overall measure of effectiveness (OMOE) through the calculation of Measures of Performance (MOPs). Vulnerability is very dependent on system design, architecture, and spatial arrangement, and for simplicity these were not developed or calculated. The new C&RE uses a simplified Pa&V model so that an Overall Measure of Vulnerability (OMOV) can be calculated for each ship design using the new process and tools described in this paper. The OMOV is calculated by combining Vulnerability measure of performance scores across multiple ship mission options. It is then combined with the intact MOPs to calculate a more complete warfighting OMOE which can be used in the C&RE.

1. Introduction
Typically, survivability analysis for naval ships is deferred until preliminary design or later. Many important design decisions regarding systems and system architecture are made in concept exploration and are difficult and costly to reverse. survivability is an important factor in assessing mission effectiveness, which is an important objective attribute in concept exploration and must be considered in these early decisions.
However, several questions are raised when attempting to assess and consider survivability early:Is sufficient model detail and fidelity available during concept exploration to make a reasonable survivability assessment?If sufficient detail is available, does early survivability consideration impact the resulting design decisions?Are simplified, but traditional vulnerability models able to discriminate correctly between alternative designs, answer the right questions, provide important insight, and enable good decisions for moving forward into concept development and preliminary design?Are tools and resources available to consider survivability early or do we need a completely new approach and new tools?
A decadal tropical Pacific condition unfavorable to central Pacific El Niño
Authors: Zhong Wenxiu , Zheng Xiao‐Tong , Cai Wenju 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe frequency of central Pacific (CP) El Niño events displays strong decadal variability but the associated dynamics are unclear. The Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) and the tropical Pacific decadal variability (TPDV) are two dominant modes of tropical Pacific decadal variability that can interact with high‐frequency activities. Using a 500 year control integration from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Earth System Model, we find that the difference in mean state between the low‐frequency and high‐frequency CP El Niño periods is similar to the decadal background condition concurrently contributed by a negative IPO and a positive TPDV. This decadal state features strengthened trade winds west of the International Date Line and anomalous cool sea surface temperatures across the central tropical Pacific. As such, positive zonal advection feedback is difficult to be generated over the central to western tropical Pacific during the CP El Niño developing season, resulting in the low CP El Niño frequency.
Treatment of temporal aliasing effects in the context of next generation satellite gravimetry missions
Authors: Daras Ilias , Pail Roland 
Published: July 2017

AbstractTemporal aliasing effects have a large impact on the gravity field accuracy of current gravimetry missions and are also expected to dominate the error budget of Next Generation Gravimetry Missions (NGGMs). This paper focuses on aspects concerning their treatment in the context of Low‐Low Satellite‐to‐Satellite Tracking NGGMs. Closed‐loop full‐scale simulations are performed for a two‐pair Bender‐type Satellite Formation Flight (SFF), by taking into account error models of new generation instrument technology. The enhanced spatial sampling and error isotropy enable a further reduction of temporal aliasing errors from the processing perspective. A parameterization technique is adopted where the functional model is augmented by low‐resolution gravity field solutions coestimated at short time intervals, while the remaining higher‐resolution gravity field solution is estimated at a longer time interval. Fine‐tuning the parameterization choices leads to significant reduction of the temporal aliasing effects. The investigations reveal that the parameterization technique in case of a Bender‐type SFF can successfully mitigate aliasing effects caused by undersampling of high‐frequency atmospheric and oceanic signals, since their most significant variations can be captured by daily coestimated solutions. This amounts to a “self‐dealiasing” method that differs significantly from the classical dealiasing approach used nowadays for Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment processing, enabling NGGMs to retrieve the complete spectrum of Earth's nontidal geophysical processes, including, for the first time, high‐frequency atmospheric and oceanic variations.

Published: July 2017

BackgroundPatient‐reported control of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) symptoms is associated with the quality of life impact of CRS. We sought to determine if 22‐item Sino‐Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT‐22) score is predictive of patient‐perceived CRS symptom control.MethodsProspective cross‐sectional study of 202 patients with CRS. Participants were asked to rate their CRS symptom control as “not at all,” “a little,” “somewhat,” “very,” and “completely.” The severity of patient CRS symptomatology was measured using the SNOT‐22. The relationship between SNOT‐22 score and patient‐reported CRS symptom control was determined using regression, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.ResultsSNOT‐22 was negatively associated with patient‐reported CRS symptom control (adjusted β = −0.03; 95% CI, −0.04 to −0.02; p < 0.001), after controlling for demographic and clinical characteristics. There was a significant difference in SNOT‐22 scores of participants reporting each level of symptom control (p < 0.001) with the greatest differences between participants who rated their CRS symptom control as “not at all,” “a little,” and “somewhat,” which we deem poor CRS symptom control, and the group who described their level of CRS symptom control described as “very” and “completely,” which we deem well‐controlled CRS symptoms. These results were true across all SNOT‐22 subdomains scores as well. Using ROC analysis, a SNOT‐22 score of 35 identified patients reporting poor vs well‐controlled CRS symptom control with 71.4% sensitivity and 85.5% specificity.ConclusionSNOT‐22 score is associated with how well patients feel their CRS symptomatology is controlled. Moreover, SNOT‐22 score can be used to accurately distinguish patients with poor vs well‐controlled CRS symptoms.
Amine‐Urea‐Mediated Asymmetric Cycloadditions between Nitrile Oxides and o‐Hydroxystyrenes by Dual Activation
Authors: Suga Hiroyuki , Hashimoto Yohei , Toda Yasunori , Fukushima Kazuaki , Esaki Hiroyoshi , Kikuchi Ayaka 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe first example of asymmetric 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions between nitrile oxides and o‐hydroxystyrenes, mediated by cinchona‐alkaloid‐based amine‐ureas is reported. The method is based on a dual activation involving both LUMO and HOMO activations. In addition to the stoichiometric asymmetric induction, a catalytic amount of amine‐urea enables the cycloadditions to proceed in an enantioselective manner. Computational studies strongly support the HOMO activation of o‐hydroxystyrenes and LUMO activation of nitrile oxides by hydrogen‐bonding interactions with the Brønsted acid/base bifunctional catalyst.

Published: July 2017

Oxidative addition of 2‐phenylethylbromide (PhCH2CH2Br) to dimethylplatinum(II) complexes [PtMe2(NN)] (1a, NN = 2,2′‐bipyridine (bpy); 1b, NN = 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen)) afforded the new organoplatinum(IV) complexes [PtMe2(Br)(PhCH2CH2)(bpy)], as a mixture of trans (2a) and cis (3a) isomers, and [PtMe2(Br)(PhCH2CH2)(phen)], as a mixture of trans (2b) and cis (3b) isomers, respectively. The new Pt(IV) complexes were readily characterized using multinuclear (1H and 13C) NMR spectroscopy and elemental microanalysis. The crystal structure of 2a was further determined using X‐ray crystallography indicating an octahedral geometry around the platinum centre. A comparison of reactivity of RCH2Br reagents (R = CH3, Ph or PhCH2) in their oxidative addition reactions with complex 1a, with an emphasis on the effects of the R groups of alkyl halides, was also conducted using density functional theory.
Experimental and theoretical studies on the adjustable thermal properties of epoxy composites with silver‐plated short fiberglass
Authors: Bao Rui , Yan Shilin , Wang Ruogu , Li Yongjing 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACTThis article investigates the evolution of the thermal conductivity and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of epoxy composites filled with different silver‐plated short glass fibers (Ag@GFs) treated by electroless plating. After electroless plating, the results of X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy showed that glass fibers were coated with pure silver shells whose thickness was controlled via the repetition of electroless plating cycle, and calculated by weighting method. The optical photographs showed that Ag@GFs are randomly oriented and uniformly dispersed in the composites. HotDisk thermal constant analyzer and dilatometer were used to further characterize the thermal conductivity and the CTE of the composites, respectively. The results revealed that the thermal conductivity of Ag@GF/epoxy composites increased with the increase of Ag@GF content, and was adjusted by changing the thickness of silver shell. But the CTE of the composites drops sharply as the Ag@GF content increases compared with neat epoxy. Based on Agari model with fitted factors of Cp and Cf, the calculated thermal conductivity values of Ag@GF/epoxy composites agreed well with the experimental results, and Cp kept almost unchanged, but Cf varied with the change of the thickness of silver shell, despite increasing filler content. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACTRelease kinetics of thymoquinone and R‐(+)‐pulegone impregnated in low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) films into air and the effect of supercritical CO2‐assisted impregnation process on the diffusional properties of these films were investigated. The incorporation of both ketones into LDPE films was performed under different conditions (pressure, depressurization rate, time, and initial ketone mole fraction). Release experiments were performed under controlled laboratory conditions (24 °C, 60% relative humidity), and the total release profile was determined gravimetrically, while the individual release of each ketone was quantified by Fourier transformed infrared. The experimental data were used to fit a mass transfer model based on the second Fick's law for unsteady‐state diffusion, and the diffusion coefficients of both ketones in LDPE were estimated, ranging from 2.35 × 10−13 to 5.53 × 10−13 m2 s−1 (thymoquinone) and from 1.24 × 10−13 to 4.52 × 10−13 m2 s−1 (pulegone). Finally, analysis of variance testing indicated that impregnation pressure and depressurization rate (and their combination) have significant effects on the diffusion coefficient values. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: July 2017

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of heat and moisture on the characteristics and tensile properties of resorcinol‐formaldehyde‐latex (RFL)‐coated rayon cords and their adhesion to the natural rubber (NR)/styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR) matrix. The water absorption ratio, shrinking percentage, breaking force, and elongation at break of the cords, which were treated under various temperature‐humidity conditions, were tested, and an attenuated total reflection (ATR)‐Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the chemical changes of the outer RFL layer. The static adhesion was investigated by an H pull‐out test, and the evolution of the adhesive properties of the RFL‐coated rayon cord/rubber matrix was tracked by an elastomer testing system. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to observe the interfacial fracture caused by both H pull out and fatigue. The results of this investigation show that the moisture absorption significantly affects the characteristics and the mechanical properties of rayon cords. The chemical state of the RFL layer and the static adhesion of the cord/rubber matrix were not obviously affected, but the interfacial fatigue life was extended due to the decrease of the load in the second of three fatigue stages, which was caused by a reduction in the modulus of the rayon cords. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: July 2017

BackgroundCornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare genetic disorder affecting the neurodevelopment, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal systems. CdLS is caused by mutations within NIPBL, SMC1A, SMC3, RAD21, and HDAC8 genes. These genes codify for the “cohesin complex” playing a role in chromatid adhesion, DNA repair and gene expression regulation. The aim of this study was to investigate retinoic acid (RA) signaling pathway, a master developmental regulator, in CdLS cells.MethodsSkin biopsies from CdLS patients and healthy controls were cultured and derived primary fibroblast cells were treated with RA or dimethyl sulfoxide (vehicle). After RA treatment, cells were harvested and RNA was isolated for quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction experiments.ResultsWe analyzed several components of RA metabolism in a human cell line of kidney fibroblasts (293T), in addition to fibroblasts collected from both NIPBL‐mutated patients and healthy donors, with or without RA treatment. In all cases, ADH and RALDH1 gene expression was not affected by RA treatment, while CRABP1 was induced. CRABP2 was dramatically upregulated upon RA treatment in healthy donors but not in CdLS patients cells.ConclusionWe investigated if CdLS alterations are associated to perturbation of RA signaling. Cells derived from CdLS patients do not respond to RA signaling as efficiently as healthy controls. RA pathway alterations suggest a possible underlying mechanism for several cellular and developmental abnormalities associated with cohesin function.

Published: July 2017

AbstractType 2 diabetes mellitus is a worldwide epidemic and its atherosclerotic complications determine the high morbidity and mortality of diabetic patients. Caffeic acid (CAF), a phenolic acid present in normal diets, is known for its antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to investigate CAF's anti‐inflammatory properties and its mechanism of action, using cultured human endothelial cells (HEC) incubated with glycated low‐density lipoproteins (gLDL). Levels of the receptor for advanced glycation end‐products (RAGE), inflammatory stress markers (C reactive protein, CRP; vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1, VCAM‐1; monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1, MCP‐1), and oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) markers were evaluated in gLDL‐exposed HEC, in the presence/absence of CAF. RAGE silencing or blocking, specific inhibitors for oxidative stress (apocynin, N‐acetyl‐cysteine), and ERS (salubrinal) were used. The results showed that: (i) gLDL induced CRP synthesis and secretion through mechanisms involving NADPH oxidase‐dependent oxidative stress and ERS in HEC; (ii) gLDL–RAGE interaction, oxidative stress, and ERS stimulated the secretion of VCAM‐1 and MCP‐1 in HEC; and (iii) CAF reduced the secretion of CRP, VCAM‐1, and MCP‐1 in gLDL‐exposed HEC by inhibiting RAGE expression, oxidative stress, and ERS. In conclusion, CAF might be a promising alternative to ameliorate a wide spectrum of disorders due to its complex mechanisms of action resulting in anti‐inflammatory and antioxidative properties. © 2017 BioFactors, 43(5):685–697, 2017
