Wall-retardation effects on particles settling through non-Newtonian fluids in parallel plates
Authors: Zhang Guo-Dong , Li Ming-Zhong , Xue Jian-Quan , Wang Lei , Tian Jin-Lin 
Published: July 2016

AbstractWalls can exert a retardation effect on particles settling in bounded fluid media. In this work, the parallel plate retardation effect was studied for particles falling in non-Newtonian fluids along the centreline of parallel plate ducts. The eccentric effect was also investigated for those particles which approached the wall. For spheres settling in sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) solutions, the variation in wall factors against the size ratio of the sphere’s diameter to the parallel plate wall spacing shows a non-linear trend; the particle settling velocity is independent at small size ratio, and then decreases quickly with increase in size ratio. A new correlation was presented covering a wider range of size ratios (0.02 < λ < 0.83) in the flow region of 0.0011 <

The Name Day: A Birthday’s Rival
Authors: Bousalis Rina 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Most educators and students are unaware of the Name Day, an alternative to the birthday celebrated in many cultures. Rather than birthdays, individuals of these cultures celebrate a day devoted to the saint, mythological god, or historical figure after which they were named. If students, particularly of elementary years, are to be educated in a multicultural society, they should be introduced to worldwide cultural observances, such as the Name Day; then perhaps those who also celebrate the closing of one year and the beginning of another in a different manner would not feel culturally unrepresented during this crucial time of social development. Since the Name Day tradition is still honored throughout the world today and continues to be practiced by ethnic groups living in America, it is important that this cultural tradition be introduced to students in order to promote the value of this ancient, yet still relevant, tradition.
Characterization of NiO–Al2O3 composite and its conductivity in biogas for solid oxide fuel cell
Authors: Patil Sarika P. , Jadhav L.D. , Dubal D.P. , Puri V.R. 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
NiO–Al2O3 nanocomposite has been synthesized by mixing combustion synthesized powders. The nanocomposite is an effective anode/anode functional layer for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells. The TEM of NiO and Al2O3 revealed spherical particles of 30 nm and platelets of 70 nm, respectively. The XRD analysis of NiO–Al2O3 composite sintered at 900 °C showed presence of cubic NiO and rhombohedral α-Al2O3 which were chemically stable. However, above 1200 °C NiAl2O4 started to appear. The conductivity of NiO–Al2O3 was the highest in hydrogen (4.3 × 10–3 S/cm at 600 °C). In biogas, the conductivity was 3.2 × 10–3 S/cm with the activation energy of 0.67 eV. The stability of the composite in biogas was also examined.
Investigations of M3Al8O15:Eu3+,Dy3+ (M = Ba, Ca, Mg) phosphors
Authors: Öztürk Esra 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In this work, aluminate type phosphorescence materials were synthesized via the solid state reaction method and the photoluminescence (PL) properties, including excitation and emission bands, were investigated considering the effect of trace amounts of activator (Eu3+) and co-activator (Dy3+). The estimated thermal behavior of the samples at certain temperatures (> 1000 °C) during heat treatment was characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TG). The possible phase formation was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphological characterization of the samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The PL analysis of three samples showed maximum emission bands at around 610 nm, and additionally near 589 nm, 648 nm and 695 nm. The bands were attributed to typical transitions of the Eu3+ ions.
Analysis on Modification of the Measured Results of Test Pile Due to the Influence of Reaction Piles in Static Loading Test
Authors: Zhang Q.-Q. , Liu S.-W. , Zhang S.-M. , Zhang J. 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In static load testing, the measured displacement of the test pile is different from that of an individual pile loaded by the same load. This is because the transferred load of the reaction piles through the soils causes an opposite movement of the test pile. To modify the measured results of test pile due to influence of reaction piles in static loading test conducted by using reaction piles as the reaction system, this paper presented a simple analytical approach for the analysis of the influence of reaction piles on the test pile response in static load testing. This was done by using the load-transfer approach. In this paper, the shaft displacement at a given depth was assumed to be composed of the pile-soil relative displacement developed at the disturbed soil around pile and the elastic vertical soil displacement developed in the soil mass. A load-transfer function which is similar to a hyperbolic model was then established to simulate the relationship between unit skin friction and shaft displacement at a given depth. Furthermore, a hyperbolic model was used to describe the relationship between unit end resistance and pile end displacement. Considering interactive effects between reaction piles and test pile, the load transfer function of the test pile in static load testing conducted using reaction piles as the reaction system is proposed. As to the analysis of the response of an influenced test pile considering progressive deformation of pile-soil system, a highly effective iterative computer program was developed to modify the response of an influenced test pile in static load testing. Comparisons of the load-settlement responses of a single pile and an influenced test pile in static load testing demonstrated that the proposed method is generally in good agreement with the observed behavior and the calculated results derived from other approaches.
Effect of Clothing Layers on Mass Transfer of Methyl Salicylate Vapor Through CBRN Materials in a Cylinder Test
Authors: Ormond R. B. , DenHartog E. A. 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The testing of protective clothing materials against chemical and biological (CB) hazards is usually done at either a swatch of fabric or at the systems level. In this paper, a cylinder test method was developed in combination with a MethylSalicylate (MeS) Simulant test (variant to the MIST test) to study the effect of air-permeable and membrane clothing systems and specifically the effects of layering on protection. Three fabrics, material A air permeable absorptive, material B air impermeable, non-absorptive (membrane) and material C air permeable non-absorptive were tested on the cylinder alone and in combinations at 1 m/s and 10 m/s wind speeds. At high wind speeds, the MeS vapor penetrated all three materials and protection factors (PF) were lower than 10. At the lower wind speed much higher protection was found, PF(material A) = 36, PF(material B) = 29, PF(material C) = 2, and material B showed a significant decrease in protection with a leakage added (PF = 2), which did not occur with material A (PF = 29). When materials A and C were combined the combination of any layer to material A increased protection, especially with material A close to the cylinder: PF = 983 with material A twice, and PF = 765 with material C outside and material A inside. With material C on both layers, essentially no protection was obtained (PF = 2) and with material A outside and material C inside PF was 55, slightly higher than material A alone. In conclusion, the cylinder method provided very useful information in the development of protective clothing systems, especially at the lower wind speed of 1 m/s, and may provide a reliable quick and efficient way to obtain information on protection of air permeable absorptive fabrics. The method provides much more realistic data than current standard swatch tests on such materials and is cheaper and faster than a whole system MIST test.
Postbuckling of thick FGM cylindrical panels with tangential edge constraints and temperature dependent properties
Authors: Tung Hoang Van 
Published: July 2016

This paper investigates postbuckling behavior of thick FGM cylindrical panels resting on elastic foundations and subjected to thermal, mechanical and thermomechanical loading conditions. Material properties are assumed to be temperature dependent, and graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of constituents. Governing equations are based on higher order shear deformation shell theory incorporating von Karman-Donnell geometrical nonlinearity, initial geometrical imperfection, tangential edge constraints and Pasternak type elastic foundations. Approximate solutions are assumed to satisfy simply supported boundary conditions and Galerkin procedure is applied to derive expressions of buckling loads and load-deflection relations. In thermal postbuckling analysis, an iteration algorithm is employed to determine critical buckling temperatures and postbuckling temperature-deflection equilibrium paths. The separate and simultaneous effects of tangential edge restraints, elastic foundations and temperature dependence of material properties on the buckling and postbuckling responses of higher order shear deformable FGM cylindrical panels are analyzed and discussed.
Contaminant spreading by natural convection in a box
Authors: Tran Tran Van , Thang Nguyen Ngoc , Thuy Nguyen Thi 
Published: July 2016

In this paper the spreading of a contaminant accompanied with natural convection in a box is numerically simulated. The box may be considered as a cooking room or a working place where some sources of heat and contaminant are in the simultaneous action. The box floor is supposed to be divided into several domains with different boundary conditions for temperature or heat flux. Here the purpose of the simulation is to understand the contaminant spreading process in the box under the influence of a convective motion. The model can be also applied for an enclosure with separated parts differentially heated by the sunlight on its boundaries. A good knowledge of this process is very useful for setting an efficient ventilation scheme. In this paper the finite difference method based on the Samarski scheme with ADI technique is applied for numerical simulation. Here the box floor is divided into two domains of equal sizes but with different temperature or heat flux. The contaminant source locates in the middle of the box bottom. The simulation shows that over the part of the floor where temperature or heat flux is greater the contaminant concentration is lager. That result is in the accordance with the experiment done in the framework of this~investigation.

Bilateral Discoid Medial Menisci
Authors: Mahapatra Swagat , Ambasta Suruchi 
Published: July 2016

Case:
We present the case of a 37-year-old man with features of a meniscal tear in 1 symptomatic knee and radiographic findings of discoid menisci in both knees. A provisional diagnosis of bilateral discoid medial menisci was made. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the discoid nature of the medial menisci in both knees. The symptomatic knee was managed with good results by partial meniscectomy using a routine arthroscopic procedure.

Conclusion:
Discoid medial meniscus is a relatively rare pathology of the knee joint, and bilateral cases are extremely rare. A high index of suspicion is necessary for diagnosis; only symptomatic knees should be treated surgically.
Declining Education Levels in Young Male Farmers in Southwestern Ontario
Authors: Brick Jeff , Nebel Silke , Lantz Van , Trenholm Ryan 
Published: July 2016

Core Ideas
Education level is declining in young male farmers but not female farmers.
Interactions between variables can be key for understanding environmental behavior.
This education trends needs to factor into the design of agri‐environmental programs.
Environmental decisions taken by farmers often depend on their age, gender, and formal education. Changes in these demographic variables are therefore important for designing long‐term environmental policies. However, studies on the effect of demographic variables on environmental behavior often show conflicting results. Here, we used mail survey data (n = 3069) to determine whether education levels of landowners in rural southwestern Ontario, Canada, varied with age, gender, and occupation (“farmer” or “non‐farmer”). Education level increased with decreasing age in all landowners with the exception of male farmers, where the opposite trend was observed. This striking result highlights the importance of taking into account interactions among demographic variables. The unexpected decrease in education level in young male farmers is cause for concern and may need to be taken into consideration by policymakers in the design and implementation of agri‐environmental programming.
Investigating Inspection Risk: An Analysis of PCAOB Inspections and Internal Quality Reviews
Authors: Stefaniak Chad M. , Houston Richard W. , Brandon Duane M. 
Published: July 2016

SUMMARY
We report the results of an experiment that examines how the salience of post-audit reviews (PARs; i.e., U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board [PCAOB] inspections and public accounting firms' internal quality reviews [IQRs]) affects auditors' perceptions of inspection risk (i.e., the risk that an auditor or audit firm will suffer harm as a result of a PAR), as well as audit effort and fees. Using large-firm, high-level auditors as participants, we find that PAR salience (i.e., anticipation of a PAR) yields higher perceived overall engagement risk assessments, even after controlling for traditional audit risk factors, consistent with auditors viewing inspection risk as incremental to these risk factors. Further, we find that auditors respond to PAR salience by increasing both audit effort and fees—with higher perceived engagement risk and greater audit effort for PCAOB inspections than IQRs. Finally, we observe that increases in audit fees are fully explained by effort.
Using a Two-Step Transformation to Address Non-Normality from a Business Value of Information Technology Perspective
Authors: Templeton Gary F. , Burney Laurie L. 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
Accounting information systems (AIS) research data may suffer from severe non-normality, which, if not handled properly, may lead to incorrect statistical inferences. To address this problem, we empirically evaluate the relative merits of a Two-Step normality transformation proposed by Templeton (2011) compared to four alternative distributions available to researchers (random-normal, original, natural log transformed, and winsorization transformed). Using 45 corporate financial performance ratios (CFP), we investigated three perspectives on measurement validity: construct validity, reliability, and difference testing. We then examined the efficacy of the Two-Step method in the context of business value of IT research—we regressed four IT investment and three control variables on 31 of theoretically relevant CFP indicators. The preponderance of our evidence shows that the Two-Step method consistently outperforms the prominently used alternatives in achieving statistical normality, retaining original series means and standard deviations, exhibiting validity and reliability, and theory testing. Our findings strongly suggest that AIS researchers consider adopting the Two-Step normality transformation when utilizing non-normally distributed data to obtain a more accurate understanding and interpretation of results.
Peanut Cultivars Differing in Growth Habit and Canopy Architecture Respond Similarly to Weed Interference
Authors: Leon Ramon G. , Mulvaney Michael J. , Tillman Barry L. 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT
It has been proposed that crops can be improved to be more competitive with weeds by increasing their ability to suppress weed growth and reproduction. Weed suppressive ability is predominantly influenced by plant architectures that favor shading and rapid canopy closure. A three-yr field experiment was conducted in Jay, FL to assess the response of peanut cultivars with different growth habits to weed interference. Three cultivars (‘Bailey', erect growth and tall canopy height; ‘Georgia-06G', semi-bunch and intermediate height; ‘TUFRunner 727’, prostrate growth and intermediate height) and one advanced breeding line (‘UFT312’, very prostrate growth and short canopy height) were subjected to three weed interference levels: no interference, early season interference, and full-season interference. Results showed that, despite differences in growth habit, morphological response to weed interference was similar among peanut cultivars. All cultivars suppressed weed growth more than 76% in 2 of 3 yr. Peanut reduced reproductive growth and maintained vegetative growth under weed interference scenarios, and yields decreased as interference duration increased. Competitiveness of peanut to weeds could be improved by identification of lines that better balance translocation of photoassimilates favoring kernels over vegetative growth.
Artemisinic acid exhibits antitumor activity in MCF-7 breast cancer cells through the inhibition of angiogenesis, VEGF, m-TOR and AKT signalling pathways
Authors: Cui Yan , Ren Hui , Li Hao-Chang , Wang Quan-Shi 
Published: July 2016

<p>The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antitumor and anti-angiogenic effects of artemisinic acid in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Various cell signalling pathways (VEGF, m-TOR and AKT signalling pathways) and MTT assay were used. The in vivo antitumor activity of artemisinic acid was evaluated by means of tumor xenograft mouse model. Transwell cell migration assay was used to examine the chemotactic motility of the human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs), while as endothelial cell capillary-like tube formation assay was used to evaluate the effect of artemisinic acid on the tube formation in HUVECs. We found that artemisinic acid considerably reduced both the volume and weight of concrete tumors and reduced angiogenesis in a xenograft mouse tumor model in vivo. Further, artemisinic acid suppressed the VEGF-induced cell migration and capillary-like tube formation of HUVECs in a dose-dependent manner. Artemisinic acid was found to suppress the VEGF-induced phosphorylation of VEGFR2 and also the activity of AKT and m-TOR.</p><p><strong>Video Clip:</strong></p><p><a href="https://youtube.com/v/w7jZqcDvMTc">Western blot assay:</a> 4 min 33 sec </p>
