99 Background: Prior studies have explored barriers to collaborative cancer care and suggest a need for greater clarity about clinician roles. However, little is known about patient’s preferences and expectations for which clinicians handle various aspects of care after primary cancer treatment. Methods: A weighted random sample of patients newly diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014-15 as reported to the Georgia and Los Angeles SEER registries were surveyed approximately 6 months after diagnosis (N = 2,342, 70% response rate). Patient preferences for which clinician handles the following aspects of care after treatment were ascertained: follow-up mammograms, screening for other cancers, general preventive care, treatment of comorbidities and reassurance about their breast cancer. Response categories included primary care clinician (PCP), cancer doctors, either or both. The associations between patient demographic and clinical factors with preferences for clinician roles were assessed using multinomial logistic regression. Results: The majority of women preferred to see oncologists for mammograms (65%), other cancer screening (64%), and reassurance about their cancer (69%), and PCPs for general preventive care (76%) and comorbidity care (79%). Black women and Hispanic women (vs. White) were more likely to prefer to see both clinicians (vs. PCP) for mammograms (Black OR: 2.8, 95%CI: 1.5, 5.1; Hispanic OR: 1.9, 95%CI: 1.1, 3.3), screening for other cancers (Black OR: 3.3, 95%CI: 1.8, 6.1; Hispanic OR: 1.8, 95%CI: 1.0, 3.1), general preventive care (Black OR: 3.5, 95%CI: 2.0, 6.0; Latina OR: 2.5, 95%CI: 1.4, 4.3) and comorbidity care (Black OR: 2.1, 95%CI: 1.3, 3.6; Hispanic OR: 2.0, 95%CI: 1.2, 3.3). Less than a high school education was also associated with a preference for seeing both clinicians for mammograms. Conclusions: While patients report clear preferences for which clinicians handle various aspects of their collaborative survivorship care, variation exists by race and education. Targeting these patients to clarify clinician roles may be particularly effective in interventions to improve collaborative cancer care.
Crafting a Site of State Information Management
Authors: Fulton Robert 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThis article explores France's Dépôt de la Guerre as an intentional site of preservation of military information specifically through the examination of archival inventories constructed during the first thirty years after the Dépôt's creation. The Dépôt was examined as a “knowledge management center” in a growing information state, using differing concepts of archival construction. An evaluation of three early inventories reveals administrative processes of selective organization and categorization, illustrating the risks of incomplete collection and preservation. This examination adds to the historical analysis of practices of government information management and the growth of an information state through an assessment of collection, loss, or deliberate destruction of information and even knowledge itself. However, the example of the Dépôt suggests that the underlying purpose and defined goals of any archive dramatically affect what it actually stores and how it conceives of useful knowledge.Cet article examine le Dépôt de la Guerre comme un site intentionnel de conservation de l'information militaire, notamment en fouillant des inventaires d'archives construites au cours des trente premières années après la création du Dépôt. Le dépôt a été un « centre de gestion du savoir » dans un Etat informateur que nous examinons à partir de plusieurs conceptions différentes de la construction d'archives. Une évaluation des trois premiers inventaires révèle les processus administratifs d'organisation sélective et de catégorisation, illustrant les risques de collection et de conservation incomplètes. Par ce biais, cet article contribue à l'analyse historique des pratiques de gestion de l'information gouvernementale et de la montée d'un Etat informateur en considérant la collection, la perte, ou la destruction délibérée des informations et même du savoir. Cependant, l'exemple du Dépôt suggère que le but fondamental et les objectifs définis d'une archive modifient considérablement ce qu'elle accumule et ce qu'elle entend par « savoir utile ».

Storylining engagement with repulsive antiheroes. Towards a cognitive poetics of TV serial drama narrative: The case of Gomorrah – The Series
Authors: Russo Paolo 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The unprecedented success of Italian crime drama serial Gomorrah – The Series (2014–present) has spurred much interest in the industry as well as a lively critical debate. Little attention, however, has thus far been paid to the creative process behind the series. This article contributes to filling this gap by investigating the branding strategies and the writing strategies that have informed the development process. Particular emphasis is given to the analysis of the storylining techniques employed in the development of the arcs of Season 1 with a view to unpacking how, in turn, these determine mechanisms of the viewers’ engagement with characters. As typical of much contemporary serial dramas, these are predominantly antiheroes and therefore our allegiance to them is questioned when problematic issues are raised, as in the case of violent actions and dubious moral choices. The investigation combines three interplaying methodologies – a genetic approach, close textual (quantitative and qualitative) analysis and a cognitive theoretical framework – to offer a general poetic model for analysing serial narrative. While the article deals with one particular case study, the more general aim is to contribute to developments in the field of cognitive studies of serial drama, with a specific focus on creative development and writing practices.

Published: March 2017

Background Accelerated pubertal onset has been reported in recent years. Environmental factors are assumed to influence this condition.Objective To assess differences in pubertal onset between children in rural and urban areas, as well as to evaluate body mass index (BMI) and socioeconomic status that affect pubertal onset.Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2010 at junior high schools in Mandailing Natal and Medan, North Sumatera. Data were collected with purposive sampling of children aged 8 to 13 years. Sexual maturity was assessed by Tanner stage and risk factors was determined by questionnaires. The comparison between pubertal onset in rural and urban areas was assessed by Mann-Whitney U test. The relationships between nutritional status, socioeconomic status, sexual maturity, and pubertal onset were assessed by Spearman’s correlation.Results Eighty-four subjects (38 boys and 46 girls) from a rural area and 87 subjects (40 boys and 47 girls) from an urban area participated in this study. There were significant differences in mean pubertal age of onset between subjects living in rural vs. urban areas, for both girls and boys [girls: 10.2 vs. 9.5 years, respectively (P=0.008); boys: 11.7 vs. 10.1 years, respectively, (P=0.001)]. We found weak negative correlations between BMI and pubertal onset in boys (r=-0.246; P=0.03) and in girls (r=-0.548; P=0.001). We also found weak negative correlations between socioeconomic status and pubertal onset in boys (r=-0.406; P=0.0001) and in girls (r=-0.575; P=0.001).Conclusion Pubertal onset is faster in girls and boys who lived in an urban area. There are negative correlations between BMI and socioeconomic status with pubertal onset.

In this paper we study the non linear stability of the triangular librations points in ER3BP considering both the primaries as radiating and oblate. The study is carried out near the resonance frequency satisfying the conditions Â in resonance as well as non resonance case. The study is conducted for various values of radiation pressure and oblateness parameters. It is observed that the case corresponds to the boundary region of the stability for the system Further, it is examined that the system experiences resonance at for different values of radiation pressures and oblateness parameter. In non resonance case, it is observed that the equilibrium points are stable. In resonance case, for and the triangular equilibrium points are unstable. In case, when for some values of radiation pressure and oblateness parameter, it is stable and for some it is unstable. The model is best suited to the binary systems (Achird, Luyten, Î± Cen AB, Kruger- 60, Xi- Bootis).

Abstract(6R)‐l‐erythro‐5,6,7,8‐Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor for monoamine and nitric oxide (NO) production. Sepiapterin reductase (SPR) catalyzes the final step in BH4 biosynthesis. We analyzed the cardiovascular function of adult Spr gene‐disrupted (Spr−/−) mice for the first time. After weaning, Spr−/− mice suffered from hypertension with fluctuation and bradycardia, while the monoamine contents in these mice were less than 10% of those in the wild‐type mice as a result of BH4 depletion. Heart rate variability analysis indicated the sympathetic dominant state in Spr−/− mice. The endothelium‐dependent vascular relaxation in response to acetylcholine was significantly impaired in Spr−/− mice after sexual maturation (above 4 months old). Protein amounts of α1 adrenergic receptor and eNOS in the aorta were not altered. Spr−/− mice exhibited hypoglycemia and elevation of plasma renin activity. Our results suggest that the hypertension with fluctuation and bradycardia of Spr−/− mice would be caused by an imbalance of sympathetic and parasympathetic input and impaired nitric oxide production in endothelial cells. We suggest an important role of BH4 and SPR in age‐related hypertension and a possible relationship with the cardiovascular instabilities in autonomic diseases, including Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injury.
Innovative Laboratory Procedure to Estimate Thermophysical Parameters of Iso-exo Sleeves
Authors: Ignaszak Z. , Prunier J-B. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The paper is focused on properties testing of materials used in form of iso-exo sleeves for risers in ferrous alloys foundry. They are grainyfibrous materials, containing components which initiate and upkeep exothermic reaction. Thermo-physical parameters characterizing such sleeves are necessary also to fill in reliable databases for computer simulation of processes in the casting-mould layout. Studies with use of a liquid alloy, especially regarding different sleeves bring valuable results, but are also relatively expensive and require longer test preparation time. A simplified method of study in laboratory conditions was proposed, in a furnace heated to a temperature above ignition temperature of sleeve material (initiation of exothermic reaction). This method allows to determine the basic parameters of each new sleeve supplied to foundries and assures relatively quick evaluation of sleeve quality, by comparison with previous sleeve supplies or with sleeves brought by new providers.
Effect of Heat-treatment Parameters of Cast Iron GJS-X350NiMnCu7-3-2 on its Structure and Mechanical Properties
Authors: Medyński D. , Janus A. , Zaborski S. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The paper presents influence of soaking parameters (temperature and time) on structure and mechanical properties of spheroidal graphite nickel-manganese-copper cast iron, containing: 7.2% Ni, 2.6% Mn and 2.4% Cu. Raw castings showed austenitic structure and relatively low hardness (150 HBW) guaranteeing their good machinability. Heat treatment consisted in soaking the castings within 400 to 600°C for 2 to 10 hours followed by air-cooling. In most cases, soaking caused changes in structure and, in consequence, an increase of hardness in comparison to raw castings. The highest hardness and tensile strength was obtained after soaking at 550°C for 6 hours. At the same time, decrease of the parameters related to plasticity of cast iron (elongation and impact strength) was observed. This resulted from the fact that, in these conditions, the largest fraction of fine-acicular ferrite with relatively high hardness (490 HV0.1) was created in the matrix. At lower temperatures and after shorter soaking times, hardness and tensile strength were lower because of smaller degree of austenite transformation. At higher temperatures and after longer soaking times, fine-dispersive ferrite was produced. That resulted in slightly lower material hardness.

Published: March 2017

Abstract
The study presents the results of the investigations of the effect of Cu, Ni, Cr, V, Mo and W alloy additions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy. The examinations were performed within a project the aim of which is to elaborate an experimental and industrial technology of producing elements of machines and devices complex in their construction, made of aluminium alloys by the method of precision investment casting. It was demonstrated that a proper combination of alloy additions causes the crystallization of complex intermetallic phases in the silumin, shortens the SDAS and improves the strength properties: Rm, Rp0.2,HB hardness. Elevating these properties reduces At, which, in consequence, lowers the quality index Q of the alloy of the obtained casts. Experimental casts were made in ceramic moulds preliminarily heated to 160 °C, into which the AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy with the additions was cast, followed by its cooling at ambient temperature. With the purpose of increasing the value of the quality index Q, it is recommended that the process of alloy cooling in the ceramic mould be intensified and/or a thermal treatment of the casts be performed (ageing)(T6).

Published: March 2017

Abstract
Wear resistance of TiC-cast steel metal matrix composite has been investigated. Composites were obtained with SHSB method known as SHS synthesis during casting. It has been shown the differences in wear between composite and base cast steel. The Miller slurry machine test were used to determine wear loss of the specimens. The slurry was composed of SiC and water. The worn surface of specimens after test, were studied by SEM. Experimental observation has shown that surface of composite zone is not homogenous and consist the matrix lakes. Microscopic observations revealed the long grooves with SiC particles indented in the base alloy area, and spalling pits in the composite area. Due to the presence of TiC carbides on composite layer, specimens with TiC reinforced cast steel exhibited higher abrasion resistance. The wear of TiC reinforced cast steel mechanism was initially by wearing of soft matrix and in second stage by polishing and spalling of TiC. Summary weight loss after 16hr test was 0,14÷0,23 g for composite specimens and 0,90 g for base steel.
Hypoeutectic Al-Si Alloy with Cr, V and Mo to Pressure Die Casting

Published: March 2017

Abstract
This paper presents the results of hypoeutectic 226 grade alloy as well as prepared on its basis Al-Si alloy containing Cr, V and Mo. The additives tested were added as AlCr15, AlV10 and AlMo8 master alloys. Alloys tested were poured into DTA sampler as well as using pressure die casting. An amount of Cr, V and Mo additives in alloy poured into DTA sampler comprised within the range approximately 0.05-0.35%. Alloys to pressure die casting contained 0.05-0.20% Cr, V and Mo. The crystallization process was examined using the derivative thermal analysis (DTA). The microstructure of castings made in the DTA sampler as well as castings made with use of pressure die casting were examined. The basic mechanical properties of castings made using pressure die casting were defined too. It has been shown in the DTA curves of Al-Si alloy containing approximately 0.30 and 0.35% Cr, Mo, and V there is an additional thermal effect probably caused by a peritectic crystallization of intermetallic phases containing the aforementioned additives. These phases have a morphology similar to the walled and a relatively large size. The analogous phases also occur in pressure die casting alloys containing 0.10% or more additions of Cr, V and Mo. The appearance of these phases in pressure die casting Al-Si alloys coincides with a decrease in the value of the tensile strength Rm and the elongation A. It has been shown die castings made of Al-Si alloys containing the aforementioned additives have a higher Rm and A than 226 alloy.
Development of Cloud Based Casting Defects Categorization System (CDCS)
Authors: Sata Amit V. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Defects affect the properties and behavior of the casting during its service life. Since the defects can occur due to different reasons, they must be correctly identified and categorized, to enable applying the appropriate remedial measures. several different approaches for categorizing casting defects have been proposed in technical literature. They mainly rely on physical description, location, and formation of defects. There is a need for a systematic approach for classifying investment casting defects, considering appropriate attributes such as their size, location, identification stage, inspection method, consistency, appearance of defects. A systematic approach for categorization of investment casting defects considering multiple attributes: detection stage, size, shape, appearance, location, consistency and severity of occurrence. Information about the relevant attributes of major defects encountered in investment casting process has been collected from an industrial foundry. This has been implemented in a cloud-based system to make the system freely and widely accessible.

Subjective and Objective Comparative Study of DAB+ Broadcast System
Authors: Gilski Przemysław , Stefański Jacek 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Broadcasting services seek to optimize their use of bandwidth in order to maximize user’s quality of experience. They aim to transmit high-quality digital speech and music signals at the lowest bitrate. They intend to offer the best quality under available conditions. Due to bandwidth limitations, audio quality is in conflict with the number of transmitted radio programs. This paper analyzes whether the quality of real-time digital DAB+ broadcasted radio programs surpasses the quality offered by analog FM radio. We also perform a subjective and objective quality assessment comparative study of the HE-AAC v2 audio codec used in DAB+. The subjective studies were carried out using the MOS test methodology, whereas the objective tests were realized using the ViSQOLAudio metric. These studies were followed by a questionnaire concerning the migration from analog to digital radio domain.

Published: March 2017

Abstract
A sonoreactor was assembled with stacked lead zirconate titanate transducers. These transducers were attached on one side of a 10×10×10 cm3 chamber and driven by an integrated circuit power amplifier. The impedance of the reactor was analyzed in order to determine a matching inductance. The electrical frequency could be varied from 20 to 50 kHz and the electrical output power was adjustable up to 65 W. The highest power was obtained in the case of resonance at 31 kHz and the maximum temperature at the heat sink of the amplifier rose to 42.0° C. Both acoustic cavitation and mechanical effects could be utilized in this sonoreactor for a variety of purposes including sonochemical synthesis, ultrasonic cleaning and microbial cell disruption.
