Antenatal body mass index (BMI) and weight gain in pregnancy – its association with pregnancy and birthing complications
Authors: Maier Josefine Theresia , Schalinski Elisabeth , Gauger Ulrich , Hellmeyer Lars 
Published: December 2015

AbstractOverweight and obesity is a serious health risk in both developed and developing nations. It is a common finding among women in their reproductive age. Half of patients entering their pregnancy in the US have a BMI >25.0 and therefore qualify as overweight or obese. Moreover, there is a tendency towards increased weight gain during pregnancy. Studies have shown that gestational overweight is associated with complications in pregnancy and birthing as well as short-term and long-term impacts on neonatal outcome in childhood and adulthood.Five hundred and ninety-one women visiting our tertiary perinatal center in 2014 were analyzed for antenatal BMI, gestational weight gain, as well as pregnancy outcome and complication together with neonatal weight and outcome. Pregnancy weight gain was assessed based on the IOM guidelines (Institute of Medicine) issued in 2009.Twenty-nine percent of our population was overweight with a BMI of more than 25.0. The general weight gain was in every BMI group similar (median ranging from 12.0 to 14.0 kg). Approximately one third gained more than the appropriate amount (37%, P<0.001). Women with more gestational weight were at risk of labor induction (55.0% vs. 45.7% labor induction in total, P=0.007). Strikingly, those patients were found to have significantly higher rates of secondary cesarean section (22.4% vs. 15.4%) and decreased chances of spontaneous vaginal birth (57.5% vs. 61.4%) (P=0.008). Furthermore women with a pregnancy weight gain in excess of the guidelines gave birth to neonates with a higher birth weight (>75.centile, 28.3% vs. 21.3%, P<0.001).Altogether, one third of the analyzed population is already overweight or obese when entering pregnancy. A higher gestational weight gain than the recommended amount was found in 37% of cases. We found an association with pregnancy and birthing complications as well as higher infant weight. This highlights the importance of preconceptive and prenatal advice, and if necessary, intervention on BMI and weight gain.

Sorption of niobium on boreal forest soil
Authors: Söderlund Mervi , Hakanen Martti , Lehto Jukka 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The sorption of niobium (Nb) was investigated on humus and mineral
soil samples taken from various depths of a four-metre deep forest
soil pit on Olkiluoto Island, southwestern Finland. Mass distribution
coefficients, K
d, were determined in batch sorption
tests. The steady state of Nb sorption was observed in the mineral
soil samples already after one week of equilibration, and sorption
decreased with depth from a very high value of
185000 mL/g at 0.7 m to
54000 mL/g at 3.4 m. The reason
behind this decrease is probably the tenfold reduction in the specific
surface area of the soil at the same depth range. Distribution
coefficients were clearly lower in the humus layer
(1000 mL/g). The K
d values determined in pure
water at a pH range of 4.7–6.5 were at a high level (above
55000 mL/g), but decreased dramatically above
pH 6.5, corresponding to the change in the major Nb species from the
neutral Nb(OH)5 to the low-sorbing anionic Nb(OH)6
− and
Nb(OH)7
2−. However, the K
d values in the model
soil solution were in the slightly alkaline range an order of
magnitude higher than in pure water, which is probably caused by the
formation of calcium niobate surface precipitate or electrostatic
interaction between surface-sorbed calcium and solute Nb. Among nine
soil constituent minerals kaolinite performed best in retaining Nb in
both pure water and model soil solution at pH 8, whereas potassium
feldspar showed the poorest sorption. The K
d value for
kaolinite was above 500000 mL/g in both
solutions, while the respective potassium feldspar values were in the
range of 120–220 mL/g.

Abstract
The 197Au(n, γ)198Au reaction cross-sections at the
neutron energies of 1.12, 2.12, 3.12 and 4.12 MeV were
determined by using activation and off-line γ-ray
spectrometric technique. The mono-energetic neutron energies of
1.12–4.12 MeV were generated from the 7Li(p, n)
reaction by using the proton energies of 3 and 4 MeV from
the folded tandem ion beam accelerator (FOTIA) at BARC as well as 5
and 6 MeV from the Pelletron facility at TIFR, Mumbai. The
115In(n,γ)116mIn
reaction cross-section was
used as the neutron flux monitor. The 197Au(n, γ)198Au
reaction cross-section at the neutron energies of 3.12 and
4.12 MeV are reported for the first time. The
197Au(n, γ)198Au reaction cross-sections at 1.12 and
2.12 MeV are close to the literature data of in between
neutron energies. The 197Au(n, γ)198Au cross-section
was also calculated theoretically by using the computer code TALYS 1.6
and found to be higher than the experimental data of present work and
literature data within the neutron energies of 0.8 to
4 MeV.
Effects of precure cycle on tensile and dynamical mechanical properties of carbon/benzoxazine laminates
Authors: Yu Yalin , Ye Jinrui , Zhang Boming , Qi Guocheng 
Published: December 2015

AbstractFour designed precure cycles were applied to carbon/benzoxazine prepregs to realize different precure degrees. The quality of laminates in quasi-isotropic stacking sequence made from these precured prepregs was evaluated by void content. The effects of precure degree on tensile and dynamical mechanical properties of the laminates have been investigated. The dynamical mechanical properties of laminates with different precure degree were found to vary little from each other, while the static tensile properties (such as strength and modulus) were in negative correlation with the precure degree and the void content. Microstructures of different laminates after fracture show that the precure procedure contributes to an increase of interfacial strength. The availability of prepregs can be determined precisely by the established relation between the precure degree of prepregs and the mechanical properties of the laminates, which is likely to be an improvement on quality/cost optimization of composite manufacturing process.
The effect of calcium salts on air-void structure in air-entrained concrete – a statistical and simulated study
Authors: Ge Yong , Li Qinfei , Zhang Yunsheng , Xie Deqing , Monteiro Paulo J.M. 
Published: December 2015

AbstractThis paper analyzed the air-void system in air-entrained concrete in the presence of calcium salts and developed a new approach method, random “parking” method, for studying it. The foam index test studied indicated that the introduction of calcium salts did result in a drop in foaming power at 0.5 min, but the foam ability after 60 min was enhanced in surfactant-water solution. The Powers spacing factor in the air-entrained hardened concrete decreased gradually in the presence of CaCl2 or Ca(NO3)2. The probability density function of air-void distribution showed that the air-void size in air-entraining concrete was reduced with the addition of CaCl2 and Ca(NO3)2. The random parking method developed herein was compared with the experimental Powers spacing factor, and the concept of the alternative spacing factor, defined as the average distance between the surfaces of the two nearest air voids in concrete, was used. It was indicated that the alternative spacing factor is in close proximity to the experimental Powers spacing factor.
Studying the nonlinear properties and strain-rate sensitivity of SiC short fiber-reinforced Al matrix composites

Published: December 2015

AbstractStress-strain analysis has been an interesting issue for the mechanical design of composite structures. In this paper, a three-dimensional mechanical model based on generalized method of cells is presented to study the thermal residual stress and loading rates influence on the mechanical responses of short fiber-reinforced (SFR) composites. The effects of the fiber shape on the elastic constant of the SFR were investigated. To verify the prediction method, the calculated elastic modulus was compared with the results of finite element method. On this basis, a unified constitutive model is used to acquire the nonlinear properties of matrix materials. For comparison, SFR composites with and without consideration of thermal residual stress influences on the nonlinear responses are both considered. The results show that the distinct difference for SFR composites can be found at an early stage of loading. Meanwhile, the thermal residual stress influences on the mechanical behaviors present two characteristic stages.
Soliton, Breather, and Rogue Wave for a (2+1)-Dimensional Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation
Authors: Zhang Hai-Qiang , Liu Xiao-Li , Wen Li-Li 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
In this paper, a (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, which is a generalisation of the NLS equation, is under investigation. The classical and generalised N-fold Darboux transformations are constructed in terms of determinant representations. With the non-vanishing background and iterated formula, a family of the analytical solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional NLS equation are systematically generated, including the bright-line solitons, breathers, and rogue waves. The interaction mechanisms between two bright-line solitons and among three bright-line solitons are both elastic. Several patterns for first-, second, and higher-order rogue wave solutions fixed at space are displayed, namely, the fundamental pattern, triangular pattern, and circular pattern. The two-dimensional space structures of first-, second-, and third-order rogue waves fixed at time are also demonstrated.

The solid state structure is compared with the reported structure determined in the gas phase by gas electron diffraction (GED). 1,3,5-Trisilacyclohexane adopts a chair conformation in the solid state. The Si–C bond lengths as well as all angles of 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane in the solid state have similar dimensions compared to the structure in the gaseous phase.
Material Tissue Interaction—From Toxicity to Tissue Regeneration
Authors: Schmalz G , Widbiller M , Galler KM 
Published: December 2015

SUMMARY
The topic of material tissue interaction has gained increasing interest over recent decades from both the dental profession and the public. The primary goal initially was to avoid adverse reactions after the application of dental materials. New laboratory test methods have been developed, and currently premarket testing programs, which attempt to guarantee a basic level of patient safety, are legally required worldwide. The dentist is responsible for selecting the correct indication as well as the proper handling of any newly emerging risk. Apart from this phenomenon-oriented “inert materials concept,” the “analytical concept” focuses primarily on analyzing the reasons for adverse reactions, and identifying their associated modifying factors, in order to prevent them or to develop new and more biocompatible materials. The “concept of bioactivity” involves addressing the possibility of positively influencing tissue by materials application, such as the generation of tertiary dentin or antibacterial effects. Finally, tissue regeneration may be supported and promoted by the use of various suitable materials (matrices/scaffolds) into which stem cells can migrate or be seeded, leading to cell differentiation and the generation of new tissue. These new dental materials must also fulfill additional requirements such as controlled degradability in order to be suitable for clinical use. Clearly, the field of material tissue interaction is complex and comprises a wide range of issues. To be successful as dentists in the future, practitioners should remain informed of these important new developments and have the argumentative competence to both properly advise and treat their patients.
Effect ofBradyrhizobiaInoculant Formulation with Phorate in New Peanut Fields
Authors: Tubbs R.S. , Kemerait R.C. , Williams B. , Sarver J.M. 
Published: December 2015

ABSTRACTPeanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a legume and requires nodulation by Bradyrhizobia to convert atmospheric N into a plant usable form. Peanut inoculants place large volumes of viable Bradyrhizobia near the emerging root of the plant to infect it ensuring N-fixation. Peanut seedlings are susceptible to feeding by thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), which transmit Tospovirus leading to tomato spotted wilt (TSW) and can result in yield decline. Phorate is a common in-furrow insecticide used to reduce thrips feeding on the plants, and hence reduce the risk of TSW infection. However, placing phorate in the same furrow with living Bradyrhizobia has raised concerns about phorate potentially reducing efficacy of inoculants. Experiments were designed to test liquid and sterile peat formulations of Bradyrhizobia inoculant with two peanut cultivars in-furrow at planting, both with and without phorate insecticide to determine yield, grade, and growth parameters on peanut. Research was conducted on a non-irrigated loamy sand with no prior history of growing peanut in Tifton, GA in 2013 and 2014. There were no negative effects on peanut yield or grade, or other measured parameters when phorate was included in-furrow with inoculants. Yields with inoculants were equal or greater (up to 32% more) than non-inoculated peanut, and grade was improved (+1.2 to 1.4%) when using the liquid formulation instead of the sterile peat formulation or non-inoculated peanut. Other indicators of improved plant performance using inoculants over non-inoculated plants included the abundance and activity of nodules on the roots and time to row closure (vegetation overlap of bare soil). These data indicate there are no detrimental effects to peanut inoculant when also including phorate insecticide in-furrow.
Local Poisson equations associated with the Varadhan functional
Authors: Cavazos-Cadena Rolando , Hernández-Hernández Daniel 
Published: December 2015

This work concerns Markov chains evolving on a denumerable sate space, which is endowed with a non-negative reward function with finite support. In this context, the problem of determining the Varadhan function, given by the exponential growth rate of the aggregated rewards, is studied. The main results in this direction are expressed in terms of the idea of a system of local Poisson equations, and can be summarized as follows: (i) the Varadhan function is determined by one of such systems, and (ii) if a finite set is accessible form any state, then a system of local Poisson equations exits.
Le collège Sainte-Barbe de Paris : des frères Labrouste à Ernest Lheureux
Authors: Lebarbé Annabelle 
Published: December 2015

"The College Sainte-Barbe in Paris : from the Labrouste brothers to Ernest Lheureux", by Annabelle Lebarbé.
Opened in 1460 in the heart of the Quartier Latin, then forced to close down in 1793, the College Sainte-Barbe is brought back to life by Victor de Lanneau in 1798. The successive headmasters of the school will have it developped and enlarged with new buildings, first the construction of the secondary school by the Labrouste brothers in 1840, then the one of the preparatory school by Ernest Lheureux in 1881-1884. The example of Sainte-Barbe turns to be of the utmost significance at a time when a policy in favour of secondary education and suitable architectural answers slowly take shape. As an undenominational private institution, Sainte-Barbe has full scope to carry out its own innovative designs as regards school architecture and is enabled to corne up against financial difficulties thanks to the deep "esprit de corps" of its former pupils. Thus the institution is among the first ones to have proper brand new schools built.
Les ambiguïtés de l'approche intégrée de la pollution des milieux récepteurs : la directive n° 96/61 /CE du Conseil de l'Union européenne du 24 septembre 1996
Authors: Deharbe David 
Published: December 2015

Inspirée du modèle français des installations classées, la directive
I.P.P.C » de l'Union européenne (24 septembre 1996) se réclame de l'approche intégrée de la contrainte environnementale par la production industrielle : en imposant un contrôle administratif préalable des effets de l'activité industrielle sur les milieux naturels, elle prétend assurer un « haut niveau de protection de l'environnement dans son ensemble ». Certes, son contenu ne bouleverse pas le régime juridique français du droit de l'environnement industriel. Pourtant la comparaison entre le nouveau texte communautaire et le droit français demeure riche d'enseignements ; elle démontre les limites des moyens mis au service de l'objectif affiché : le modèle retenu comporte des lacunes avérées et tout simplement reproduites par le nouveau dispositif européen.
Droit et gestion de l'eau - Grandes tendances mondiales et applications récentes
Authors: Sironneau Jacques 
Published: December 2015

Les tensions constatées sur la ressource en eau ont conduit ces
dernières années nombre de pays à domanialiser celle-ci, faisant prévaloir la notion de communauté sur les droits individuels, et à mettre en œuvre des mécanismes de gestion globale et planifiée à l'échelon du bassin ainsi que de police administrative, y compris dans des systèmes libéraux jusqu'alors largement réfractaires.
Dans le même temps, se mettaient en place des systèmes incitatifs de taxation des usages, coexistant avec des marchés de droits d'eau. Tant à l'échelon international qu'à l'échelon communautaire se manifeste le même souci d'intégration des utilisations des cours d'eau et de l'eau en général. Sept lois récentes sur l'eau illustrent l'application de ces principes.
La directive européenne sur la protection juridique des inventions biotechnologiques : la vie enfin dans le «filet» communautaire ?
Authors: Bojic Bultrini Dubravka 
Published: December 2015

Depuis la fin des années quatre-vingt, l'Union européenne œuvre à faire adopter un texte d'harmonisation relatif à la brevetabilité des inventions biotechnologiques. Ce processus était fondé essentiellement sur l'argument selon lequel l'intérêt que la biotechnologie présente pour l'industrie, l'agriculture, l'environnement et la médecine est indéniable et que la brevetabilité des inventions biotechnologiques représente le meilleur moyen de rentabiliser les investissements des entreprises impliquées.
Après dix ans de négociations, la directive a finalement été adoptée et constitue le cadre juridique européen de référence en la matière. Bien que ses dispositions relatives à la brevetabilité du matériel d'origine humaine aient fait couler beaucoup d'encre et provoqué l'indignation d'une partie du public, c'est dans le domaine agricole que ses effets seront les plus immédiats. La directive semble vouloir répondre avant tout aux préoccupations de l'industrie biotechnologique en assurant une protection juridique renforcée aux inventeurs des innovations portant sur le matériel végétal et animal. Elle risque ainsi de favoriser la monopolisation des ressources génétiques.

Redescription of immature stages of the soybean looper (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Plusiinae)
Authors: Barrionuevo Maria J. , San Blas German 
Published: December 2015

AbstractChrysodeixis includens(Walker) is a characteristic Plusiinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) species from the Western Hemisphere. The larva have already been found feeding on several different plant families, including economic value crops such as soybeans. This species coexists and can be confused withRachiplusia nu(Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in soybean crops. Furthermore, some studies indicate thatC.includensshows tolerance to various insecticides, leading to differentiation among these two species to be most important in relation to control procedures to be undertaken. To contribute to the correct identification ofC.includenswe made detailed redescriptions of all preimaginal stages (egg, larva, and pupa). Immature stages ofC.includenswere reared in laboratory under controlled conditions of 27±2 °C, 70–75% relative humidity, and 14:10 (light/dark) photoperiod. We consider opportune detection of preimaginal stages ofChrysodeixis includenswill help to control this pest species, especially at admissible economical levels.
The Efficacy of Patients’ Wristband Bar-code on Prevention of Medical Errors
Authors: Khammarnia M. , Kassani A. , Eslahi M. 
Published: December 2015

SummaryBackground: Patient misidentification, as a major patient safety issue, occurs in any healthcare setting and leads to inappropriate medical procedures, diagnosis or treatment, with serious outcomes.Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of wristband bar-code medication scanning to reduce medical errors (ME).Methods: A meta-analysis study was conducted. The relevant studies were searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus from 1990 to March 2015. Thereafter, the studies retrieved were screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted, and the quality of the included studies was evaluated using the STROBE checklist.Results: In total, 14 articles involving 483 cases were included. The meta-analysis indicated that the use of wristband bar-code medication scanning can reduce the ME around 57.5% (OR=0.425, 95% CI: 0.28-0.65, P<0.001). The study results showed a marked heterogeneity in the subgroup analysis (I-squared=98%). This was I2=70.35, P-value=0.018 for the type of samples and I2=99%, P-value<0.001 for years and countries.Conclusion: Wristband bar-code medication scanning can decrease the ME in hospital setting. Since the patient’s safety is the main goal of the World Health Organization, it is recommended that a unique patient identification barcode should be used with name, medical record number, and bar-coded financial number.
