Re-interpretation of Geophysical Data for the Archaeological Hill “Malta” at Duhok City – Iraqi Kurdistan Region
Authors: Ghaib Fadhil , Gardi Sirwa 
Published: July 2017

Two geophysical methods (gravity and resistivity) are used to investigate the Malta archaeological
hill in Duhok City-Iraqi Kurdistan Region. 200 gravity observation points were occupied covering
the southern half of the flat-top of the hill. Precise Bouguer anomaly map and its regional, residual
and Second Vertical Derivative anomalies are constructed to show the anomalous remains. High
precision altitudes and accurate positioning of the stations guaranteed reasonable reductions. Beside gravity,
six resistivity traverses are executed along selected directions. A total of 84 Vertical Electrical Sounding
resistivity measurements along traverses were taken to show variations with depth. A final model of the
subsurface was derived by the integration of both geophysical approaches. The two geophysical methods
revealed the presence of wall remains distributed in a systematic manner under the surface. Their
depth ranges from 0.5m to 1.5m. They are mostly built of limestone rocks of high resistivity and
positive gravity anomalies.

Can This Dinosaur Glide? by NOVA
Authors: Linville Elizabeth 
Published: July 2017

NOVA. ‘Can This Dinosaur Glide?’ PBS.org, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/can-dinosaur-glide.html. Accessed 15 February 2017. In 2008 NOVA, the long-running science series produced by PBS, created an interactive wind tunnel test to explore the glide capabilities of the Microraptor, a small feathered dinosaur discovered in China in 2000. The premise for the test is certainly intriguing for both children and adults: site visitors are invited to take the dinosaur for ‘a spin in this virtual wind tunnel’ (NOVA, ‘Can This Dinosaur Glide?’). However, the actual interactivity is less exciting than suggested. Instead of trying to keep a Microraptor aloft in a wind tunnel, the visitor is directed to position the legs and angles of attack to try to optimise Microraptor’s glide path, and subsequently provided with feedback regarding each position’s effectiveness. While some users still may find this interesting and educational, NOVA spoils the discovery aspect of the activity by stating the optimum angle of attack before you even begin.The organisation of the activity is straightforward. There are only a few areas to explore so there is no confusion when navigating, and information appears in textboxes after selecting the appropriate command. Furthermore, the graphics are generally effective, and the colour scheme allows the site to be readable - a benefit, considering the amount of text. The Wind Tunnel Test has enough user engagement to qualify as interactive but it is very limited and rather uninspiring. Where it fails the most, however, is in the lack of enhancements. There is no video or audio, or even advanced graphics, to engage the user on multiple levels. NOVA has included a transcript from the original scientific tests on which this activity is based, but I feel it would not be very absorbing for children to read. The premise of the activity is intriguing, and some older children might be interested enough in dinosaurs and physics to see past the basicness of the activity to the fascinating scientific discoveries it represents. I feel that younger children, however, will be bored and lose interest by its reliance on text, rather than action.Recommended with reservations: 2 out of 4 starsReviewer: Elizabeth Linville Elizabeth is a graduate student in the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alberta. When she was a child, she thought dinosaurs were terrifying until it was discovered they had feathers.
NASA Climate Time Machine by M. Boeck
Authors: Allan Shane 
Published: July 2017

Boeck, Moore et al. “NASA Climate Time Machine”, animated by Goddard Scientific Visualization Studio, Moore Boeck and CReSIS. NASA's Global Climate Change website, https://climate.nasa.gov/interactives/climate-time-machine.The NASA Climate Time Machine site is part of that agency’s Global Climate Change initiative and is designed to provide users with a visual guide to the changes the planet has undergone in recent history to further education about climate change, as well as the potential effects of such change on the world.The site proper is divided up into four sections; Sea Ice, which shows the reduction of polar ice from 1979 through to 2015; Sea Levels, examining the consequences of melting sea ice and the consequent raising of sea levels on the United States’ states which border the Gulf of Mexico; Carbon Dioxide, which displays global CO² levels from the start of the millennium to 2015; and finally Global Temperature, which tracks the changes in the world’s temperature since 1884.The Climate Time Machine is a good way for children to visualize some of what they’ve learned in class in a dramatic fashion. This is particularly evident in the case of the sea level section as it shows both the cities of Miami and New Orleans disappearing underwater. All of the pages provide some level of interaction in the form of sliders which advance the changes on a large map. There is also some explanatory text on each page to provide context for what is being displayed. This is perhaps the weakest aspect of the site as there is not much to read and what is there is not really designed for younger readers. Ideally this would be used as part of a wider discussion in class or with a more learned adult, such as a parent, if only to give a better idea of what the child is seeing. Overall though, the simplicity of the site is a benefit and comes from a very authoritative source. Suggested age group: 12+. Highly Recommended: 3 out of 4 starsReviewer: Shane AllanShane is an MLIS student at the University of Alberta and is currently employed as a cataloger, reorganizing a collection of curriculum materials. His favourite children's book is the Transall Saga by Gary Paulsen for its mix of adventure, fantasy and science fiction. It shows the value and importance of communication, companionship, and determination in the face of tremendous odds.
A Conversation with Joyce Grant
Authors: Desmarais Robert 
Published: July 2017

Dear Readers,A couple of months ago I had an opportunity to sit down with children’s literacy advocate Joyce Grant and discuss her popular Gabby series of picture books (click here to watch the video). I was really pleased to have the chance to meet with Grant, especially because two of her popular books, Gabby, Drama Queen and Gabby Wonder Girl, were favourably reviewed by Deakin reviewer Leslie Aitken. I was eager to pursue some questions inspired by Aitken's thoughtful comments, especially her description of Gabby, Drama Queen's plot as “imaginative and complex.” Naturally, I was optimistic that I would enjoy reading the entire Gabby series prior to the interview. Now that I have read the series, I can assure readers that the books are delightful, and teachers will certainly appreciate the teacher’s guide that is freely available online to help elementary students to develop reading, writing, and comprehension skills. I met with Grant at the University of Alberta which was one of her stops on an ambitious tour of Alberta’s schools and libraries to celebrate books and reading during TD Canadian Children’s Book Week. She was scheduled to speak at our institution about her experience teaching kids how to spot fake news, and I was glad to hear that she actively encourages kids to read news on her website teachingkidsnews.com that publishes free daily stories for young readers. The website has lots of important stories that are worth talking about and debating, and as we can all attest, kids need to know how to differentiate between real news and stories that deliberately mislead readers for financial or political gain. Grant also publishes a blog called Getting Kids Reading (gkreading.com) that is chock-full of articles, games, crafts, and ideas to inspire kids to read.Grant was a pleasure to interview, and I hope you will take time to watch the video. Aside from answering several questions about the Gabby series, Grant also tells us about her latest projects and how to get in touch. Our new summer issue is filled with many excellent book recommendations, including some reviews of multimedia resources for kids that resulted from a student assignment in the Multimedia Literacies course offered at the University of Alberta’s School of Library and Information Studies.Wishing you all a wonderful summer!Best wishes,Robert DesmaraisManaging Editor
Some Some properties of the certain \(P_t\)-sets
Authors: ÖZER Özen 
Published: July 2017

The problem of extendibility and characterization of \(P_t\)-sets is of big interest even though the problem is old, and it was started by Greek mathematician Diophantus. Let \(t\) be an integer. A set of \(m\) distinct positive integers \({a_1,a_2,\dots,a_m}\) is called a \(P_t\)-set if \(a_i a_j+t (1\leq i\leq j\leq m)\) is a perfect square whenever \(i\neq j\) In this paper, we will investigate several numerical \(P_k\)-sets and demonstrate that they cannot be widen. Also, we will determine some of their properties using reciprocity theorem.
Pharmacological management of perioperative bleeding in cardiac surgery
Authors: Walley Hossam , Yacoub Magdi , Saad Hesham 
Published: July 2017

[first paragraph of article]In spite of the growing discoveries in cardiac surgery, perioperative bleeding remains one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality. Around 50-60% of cardiac surgery patients receive blood transfusions, which are harmful and strongly associated with increased morbidity, mortality, hospital stay, and hospital cost. Patients taken back to the OR for re-exploration and control of bleeding after cardiac surgery, have a four-fold increase in the incidence of sternal infection and mortality.
FOURIER & PCSK9 RNAi: Towards enhancing durability and efficacy of PCSK9 inhibitors
Authors: Hassan Mohamed 
Published: July 2017

[first paragraph of article]The 2003 discovery of proprotein convertase subtilisin–kexin type-9 (PCSK9) – a circulating protein targeting the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor for its degradation – paved the way for the development of several therapeutic approaches which inhibit the protein itself (by monoclonal antibodies) or its RNA (by RNA interference ‘‘RNAi’’). These drugs are a very promising and attractive therapy for high- risk cardiovascular (CV) patients, patients with statin intolerance, and those with familial hypercholesterolemia.
Antidepressant Potential of Peptides: New Insights as Future Therapeutic
Authors: Khan Haroon , Khattak Sumaira , Mubarak Mohammad S. , Bawazeer Saud S. , Abu-Izneid Tareq , Kamal Mohammad A. 
Published: July 2017

Background & Objective: Clinical depression is an unsatisfactory mood disorder affecting
millions of people worldwide. The disorder is associated with a phenomenal number of suicidal attempts
each year, and it has been estimated that 10-20 million people around the world made an attempt
of suicide in some stage of the disease. Thus, medicinal intervention is ultimately required to
avoid such type of extreme outcomes. There are numerous therapeutic antidepressant options in clinical
practice, however, most of them face the challenge of efficacy, side effects, and patient compliance.
In this scenario, new effective and safe therapeutic agents are becoming the major focus of researchers
in the area of neuropharmacology, who and are evaluating different sources such as synthetic
and natural therapeutics. Similarly, thousands of peptides have already shown vital role in human
physiology for regulation of different activities.

Conclusion:
This mini-review will focus on peptides with reported antidepressant activity, along with
their mechanism of action. Furthermore, the present article summarizes the literature pertaining to
these peptides as antidepressant agents.
Depressurization System by Coiled Pipes Applied to a High Pressure Process: Experimental Results and Modeling
Authors: Benjumea J. M. , Sánchez-Oneto J. , Portela J. R. , Martínez de la Ossa E. J. 
Published: July 2017

Background:The use of backpressure regulator valves is widespread in high-pressure processes both at laboratory and pilot plant scales, but being a single step for effluent depressurization, such valves may have some limitations at industrial scale. In an effort to improve the depressurization step, this work studies a system based on the pressure drop of a fluid that circulates through coiled pipes.Method:The equipment, based on three series of variable length coiled pipes, was installed to achieve depressurization of 240 bars in a SCWO pilot plant.Results:The experimental results were compared with those obtained by the modeling carried out using different friction factor correlations from the literature.Conclusion:Among all the correlations tested, the Lockhart–Martinelli correlation showed the best agreement with experimental data. However, it was necessary to obtain an appropriate C parameter to achieve a good agreement with experimental data.
