Published: November 2015

Abstract
Because of the operation in offshore platforms, sometimes it is impossible to change the location of any equipment due to time, space or costs. For these reasons it is important to be able to adapt equipment, and change its/their configuration without affecting its operation or efficiency.
This particular case is focused in the configuration change of chimneys of indirect heat exchangers, which operate with natural gas as a fuel, when natural gas of two production wells are heating through a water bath. The change of configuration of chimneys consists of relocating only the chimneys farther than the original locations next to the indirect heat exchangers located in the superior cover of an offshore natural gas production platform.
Before changing the original arrangement of chimney, it is important to evaluate the equipment behavior with its original configuration to know its behavior. After that it is possible to apply the principle of differential pressure because of difference of densities between ambient air and flue gases, called chimney effect or natural draught.
This phenomenon allows to compensate the pressure drop due to the increase of the length of line to send the flue gases to atmosphere, considering a sufficient height of the chimney. However, it is important to make an appropriately height estimation to avoid changes or affecting the performance and operation of the heating equipment.
Adaptations over the chimney systems of indirect water bath heaters with natural draft and natural gas as a fuel produce acceptable results in the equipment behavior without blower installation.
This paper shows that it is possible to change the configuration of the flue gases system of an indirect water bath heater to heat natural gas using natural draught without affecting its operation after the configuration changes.
An important key that shall be considered is the climatological variations that could affect the natural draught, and chimney diameter.

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the impact of comorbid depressive symptoms and/or stress on adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in individuals with diabetes compared with those without diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Investigators examined the relationship between baseline depressive symptoms and/or stress in adults with and without diabetes and physician-adjudicated incident CV outcomes including stroke, myocardial infarction/acute coronary heart disease, and CV death over a median follow-up of 5.95 years in the national REGARDS cohort study.

RESULTS
Subjects included 22,003 adults (4,090 with diabetes) (mean age 64 years, 58% female, 42% black, and 56% living in the southeastern “Stroke Belt”). Elevated stress and/or depressive symptoms were more common in subjects with diabetes (36.8% vs. 29.5%; P &lt; 0.001). In fully adjusted models, reporting either elevated stress or depressive symptoms was associated with a significantly increased incidence of stroke (HR 1.57 [95% CI 1.05, 2.33] vs. 1.01 [0.79, 1.30]) and CV death (1.53 [1.08, 2.17] vs. 1.12 [0.90, 1.38]) in subjects with diabetes but not in those without diabetes. The combination of both elevated stress and depressive symptoms in subjects with diabetes was associated with a higher incidence of CV death (2.15 [1.33, 3.47]) than either behavioral comorbidity alone (1.53 [1.08, 2.17]) and higher than in those with both elevated stress and depressive symptoms but without diabetes (1.27 [0.86, 1.88]).

CONCLUSIONS
Comorbid stress and/or depressive symptoms are common in individuals with diabetes and together are associated with progressively increased risks for adverse CV outcomes.
Banque et crédit à Lille de 1800 à 1939
Authors: Pouchain Pierre 
Published: November 2015

Lille, an industrial centre witnesses only belatedly the creation of an organised banking network. This latter grows only after 1848 with the establishment of numerous regional banks ; the major national institutions establish themselves in 1865 and 1881. After several years of hardship, most of these companies enjoy an exceptional prosperity between the end of the XIXth century and 1914.
The war over, business conditions have changed. Financial crashes foreign to the city and the lasting depression generate a period of instability, at the end of which the picture of the Lille banking world is durably altered.
L'épuration des Magistrats du Nord en 1883
Authors: Martinage Renée 
Published: November 2015

Sixteen irremovabe magistrates feel victim of the 1883 Republican purge in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais. The eviction hit more severely the hierarchy in our region than in the rest of the territory.
Judicial notabilities, rich, in their mid-fifties, with distinguished social origins, Catholic, close to the older powers, were thus eliminated by the Republicans in order to weaken the local dynasties.
Yet political motivations were preeminent in the choice of those excluded from the magistracy. Faithful servants of the previous regimes, they all had demonstrated their hostility to the Republic, mostly when the 1880 anti-religious decrees were published. Their professional quality, though quite high, was not taken into account.
In other words, in the Nord, the Republic chose to make examples.
La formation d'un homme politique Maurice Schumann de 1911 à 1940
Authors: Michau François-Xavier 
Published: November 2015

Born in april 1911 , in a family of the Paris upper middleclass, son of a liberal Israelitish father, Maurice Schumann progressively converted himself to the Christian faith, but delayed his christening until 1942 out of solidarity for the persecuted Jewish European community. Revolted by social injustice, he was amember of the S.F.I.O. from 1928 to 1935, when he breaks his ties with that party to join the Jeune Républicaine, founded by Marc Sangnier. The Jeune République enables him better to reconciliate his yearning for social advances with his genuinely Catholic faith. Moreover, the Jeune République is also a real Gaullist before its time spiritual family (with Philippe Serre, André Lecomte). Schumann, a man endowed with a vast culture (he renounced a university career in favour of great reporting), but also a man of contact, was thus to meet Colonel de Gaulle as early as before the war, at a dinner at Daniel Rops's.
A specialist of international relations, Schumann was to demonstrate, through numerous articles and books (the most famous of which remains Le Germanisme en marche, in 1938) a lot of acumen, warn against Nazi pan-germanism, worry about the policy of the U.S.S.R., and also of Italy, in these years (1936-1939) of progress towards war. His reflexions were to bring M. Schumann to join De Gaulle, as early as June 1940, in London.
Combinatorial topology and the global dimension of algebras arising in combinatorics
Authors: Margolis Stuart , Saliola Franco , Steinberg Benjamin 
Published: November 2015

In a highly influential paper, Bidigare, Hanlon and Rockmore showed that a number of popular Markov chains are random walks on the faces of a hyperplane arrangement. Their analysis of these Markov chains took advantage of the monoid structure on the set of faces. This theory was later extended by Brown to a larger class of monoids called left regular bands. In both cases, the representation theory of these monoids played a prominent role. In particular, it was used to compute the spectrum of the transition operators of the Markov chains and to prove diagonalizability of the transition operators.
In this paper, we establish a close connection between algebraic and combinatorial invariants of a left regular band: we show that certain homological invariants of the algebra of a left regular band coincide with the cohomology of order complexes of posets naturally associated to the left regular band. For instance, we show that the global dimension of these algebras is bounded above by the Leray number of the associated order complex. Conversely, we associate to every flag complex a left regular band whose algebra has global dimension precisely the Leray number of the flag complex.

Authors: Ho T. , Pelletier A. , Al Ayubi S. , Bourgeois F. , Michelson K.A. 
Published: November 2015

Summary
Background: Inpatient teams commonly track their tasks using paper checklists that are not shared between team members. Team members frequently communicate redundantly in order to prevent errors.
Methods: We created a mobile, collaborative, real-time task list application on the iOS platform. The application listed tasks for each patient, allowed users to check them off as completed, and transmitted that information to all other team members. In this report, we qualitatively describe our experience designing and piloting the application with an inpatient pediatric ward team at an academic pediatric hospital.
Results: We successfully created the tasklist application, however team members showed limited usage.
Conclusion: Physicians described that they preferred the immediacy and familiarity of paper, and did not experience an efficiency benefit when using the electronic tasklist.

<p>The archaeological interventions developed throughout 1996 deserves the discovery and conservation of the remains of the porta principalis sinistra, east gate of the Roman legionary camp of legio VII gemina, below the so-called medieval Bishop Gate (Puerta Obispo). It was built in Flavian times. At the end of the 3rd century or beginnings of the 4th A.D, the gate underwent significant changes. From 2006 we have begun the present project of virtual reconstruction based on the archaeological data of architecture, measures and constructive materials. This paper present a three-dimensional high-definition computer reconstruction of different constructive phases of the Roman gate from its origins to V century AD.</p>
Low cost image-based modeling techniques for archaeological heritage digitalization: more than just a good tool for 3d visualization?
Authors: Galizia Mariateresa , Santagati Cettina 
Published: November 2015

<p>This study shows the first results of a research aimed at catching the potentiality of a series of low cost, free and open source tools (such as ARC3D, 123D Catch, Hypr3D). These tools are founded on the SfM (Structure from Motion) techniques and they are able to realize automatically image-based models starting from simple sequences of pictures data sets. Initially born as simple touristic 3D visualization (e.g. Photosynth) of archaeological and/or architectural sites or cultural assets (e.g. statues, fountains and so on), nowadays allow to reconstruct impressive photorealistic 3D models in short time and at very low costs. Therefore we have chosen different case studies with various levels of complexity (from the statues to the architectures) in order to start a first testing on the modeling potentiality of these tools.</p>

Published: November 2015

<p>Research studies show that serious games help to motivate users in rehabilitation processes, and rehabilitation results are better when users are motivated. In long term rehabilitation for maintaining capacities, the demotivation of chronic patients is common. In this work, we have implemented balance rehabilitation video game for cerebral palsy patients. The video game was developed using the prototype development paradigm and following desirable features for rehabilitation serious games presented in the literature. We have tested the video game with a set of users who abandoned therapy due to demotivation in the previous year. Results show that the set of users improved their balance and motivation.</p>

<p>The aim of the PotuGame proposal to give a step more on strategies already developed in previous Potu Program (Programa d’Orientació i Transició a la Universitat-UIB). For that we add a new multidisciplinary component that enables high school students, teachers and researchers from UIB to share knowledge of the research conducted using a common language or a common world. Therefore it is considered very appropriate to use the technologies related to the creation of virtual worlds, especially those aimed in online video games as a means to allow vehicle for the transmission of knowledge in an interactive and fun way increasing mass participation of all components of the teaching environment at all levels. Several experiments have been developed and that have been implemented in several virtual worlds. The final tool used was the Unreal SDK.</p>

<p>Virtual walkthroughs have become one of the most effective tools for the dissemination of archaeological heritage, particularly in those cases in which the site, by location or by their morphology, can not be visited. In this paper we describe the workflow for producing such tools, focusing on its two main phases: 3D digital documentation and the use of a game engine to create a virtual walkthrough. In this same line, as a case study, we describe the intervention in the archaeological site “Cova del Barranc del Migdia”, located on the southern face of Mount Montgó, within the Montgó Natural Park, in the town of Javea (Alicante, Spain).</p>
Are We in This Together? The Dynamics and Performance Implications of Dependence Asymmetry and Joint Dependence in Logistics Outsourcing Relationships
Authors: Hofer Adriana Rossiter 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThis study investigates the mechanisms through which two dimensions of interorganizational interdependence—dependence asymmetry and joint dependence—impact a customer's key attitudinal and behavioral dimensions in the relationship with a third-party logistics provider (3PL), as well as associated performance outcomes. Results of a survey with customers of a large 3PL in Brazil indicate that customers embedded in relationships with high levels of joint dependence exhibit higher levels of long-term orientation toward and operational information exchange with the 3PL, which positively impact their logistics outsourcing performance. In addition, it is found that the direction of the customer's dependence asymmetry—advantage or disadvantage—in the relationship with the 3PL enhances or hinders the effects of joint dependence. Specifically, while a customer's dependence disadvantage positively impacts its long-term orientation, a customer's dependence advantage negatively impacts its long-term orientation, which can be detrimental to its logistics outsourcing performance.
Safety Culture from an Interdisciplinary Perspective: Conceptualizing a Hierarchical Feedback-based Transportation Framework

Published: November 2015

AbstractGiven the colossal issue of traffic accidents causing serious injuries, fatalities, and traffic congestion in the United States, the current article introduces a feedback safety model that utilizes and combines disparate data sources and allows for model-based action to alleviate the problems. This feedback model will serve two purposes: (1) it will provide an overarching view of safety culture that incorporates fundamentally distinct data sources; and (2) it will aid in the development of targeted messages and control actions at various levels, especially to the highest-risk public segments, which can highlight the risks of unsafe driving as well as increase perceived importance for traffic safety. In order to develop this model, the article begins with the issue of distracted driving in the main study. The basic premise of the argument is that drivers who are distracted are more likely to be unsafe (i.e., the behavior is normally augmentative) and that safety is a culture, not a concept. In essence, curbing distracted driving should lower vehicle-based accidental deaths. We will then argue for an overarching safety culture framework to lower distracted driving from a holistic perspective through gathering multiple data sources and developing targeted communication mechanisms.
Milho orgânico: impacto da adubação com lixiviado de aterro sanitário na composição química, produtividade e concentração de metais em grãos

Published: November 2015

<p>A aplicação de lixiviado de aterro sanitário em solo agrícola surge como alternativa para disponibilizar este efluente, tendo como fator limitante os metais pesados. A adubação com cinco doses de lixiviado de aterro sanitário (0; 32,7; 65,4; 98,1 e 130,8 m3 ha-1) e uma com ureia (120 kg ha-1) foram avaliadas quanto a produtividade, composição química e teor de metais em milho, nas safras de 2010 e 2012. O acúmulo de metais em tecido foliar de plantas de aveia também foi avaliado no período de inverno, no mesmo campo experimental. A produtividade e os teores de proteínas, cinzas e lipídios em grãos aumentaram com doses crescentes de lixiviado. A concentração de Ca, Mg, Na, K, Zn, Cu, Ni e Pb em grãos de milho adubado com lixiviado não diferiram de controle sem adubação, exceto Mn, cuja concentração aumentou aplicando lixiviado (p &gt; 0,05). O incremento nas doses de lixiviado tendeu a elevar o teor de Pb (safra 2010), não se observando o mesmo na safra posterior, indicando que a concentração de Pb é dependente de fatores intrínsecos e extrínsecos ao solo. Não obstante, o teor de Cu, Pb e Mn em tecido foliar de aveia aumentou com dose de lixiviado, sugerindo caráter fitorremediador. Os resultados alertam a necessidade de maior investigação para o uso seguro de lixiviado de aterro sanitário em solo agrícola.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>

<p>This study aimed to evaluate the viability of replacing corn meal with citrus pulp (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 % dry matter of corn meal) by evaluating several nutritional parameters such as intake and digestibility of nutrients, and ruminal fermentation parameters. The diets were formulated to be isoproteic with a roughage:concentrate ratio of 60:40. Five crossbred lambs with an initial average weight of 26.1 ± 1.8 kg were used and distributed in a 5 x 5 Latin Square design. For digestibility of nutrients was carried out to feed, orts, and feces collection. The evaluated nutrients were dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, ash, neutral detergent fiber, fiber acid detergent and lignin. Were determined nitrogen and carbohydrate fractions, and ruminal fermentation parameters (N-NH 3 and ruminal pH). The results were subjected to analysis of variance and regression analysis (t-test; ? = 0.05). Citrus pulp inclusion in the diets did not affect intake and digestibility of nutrients, or the pH and the NH3-N content of the rumen fluid. Citrus pulp can be used as a total substitute for corn in concentrate or up to 26.5% in the total ration for lambs (dry basis). </p>
