us Colonial Governance of Superstition and Fanaticism in the Philippines
Authors: Wheatley Jeffrey 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThis article examines howuscolonial officials understood and utilized the categories of superstition, fanaticism, and religion during the occupation of the Philippines in the early twentieth century. I adapt Jason Josephson-Storm’s model of the trinary to explore the colonial politics of these categories. I focus on ideas about Filipino supernatural charms, typically referred to asanting anting. Civil administrators like ethnologist Dean Worcester and officers of the Philippine Constabulary blamed these charms for superstitious credulity and fanatical resistance againstusrule. As such, beliefs, practices, and communities categorized as superstitious or fanatical were targeted strategically for reformation or elimination. I argue that ideas about superstition, religion, and fanaticism were key parts ofuswar and policy, often serving racial projects of governance. Pursuing this line of inquiry allows scholars to see the material stakes of the category of religion and its proximate others.

Local minimality of the ball for the Gaussian perimeter
Authors: La Manna Domenico Angelo 
Published: July 2017

AbstractWe prove that balls centered at the origin and with small radius are stable local minimizers of the Gaussian perimeter among all symmetric sets. Precisely, using the second variation of the Gaussian perimeter, we show that if the radius is smaller thann+1{\sqrt{n+1}}, then the ball is a local minimizer, while if it is larger, the ball is not a local minimizer.

A New Join to the Hurro-Akkadian Version of the Weidner God List from Emar (Msk 74.108a + Msk 74.158k)
Authors: Simons Frank 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe present article offers an edition, copy and photographs of a newly identified join to the Hurro-Akkadian bilingual tablet of the so-called Weidner god list from Emar. The new fragment adds substantially to our knowledge of the Hurrian translation of the list and fills in some small gaps in the Akkadian portion. It also offers valuable evidence concerning the identities of three relatively little known deities: Ištarān, who is equated in the text with Kumarbi, Erragal who is equated with Tarḫunta, and
Assembly pathway of a bacterial complex iron sulfur molybdoenzyme
Authors: Cherak Stephana J. , Turner Raymond J. 
Published: July 2017

AbstractProtein folding and assembly into macromolecule complexes within the living cell are complex processes requiring intimate coordination. The biogenesis of complex iron sulfur molybdoenzymes (CISM) requires use of a system specific chaperone – a redox enzyme maturation protein (REMP) – to help mediate final folding and assembly. The CISM dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) reductase is a bacterial oxidoreductase that utilizes DMSO as a final electron acceptor for anaerobic respiration. The REMP DmsD strongly interacts with DMSO reductase to facilitate folding, cofactor-insertion, subunit assembly and targeting of the multi-subunit enzyme prior to membrane translocation and final assembly and maturation into a bioenergetic catalytic unit. In this article, we discuss the biogenesis of DMSO reductase as an example of the participant network for bacterial CISM maturation pathways.

Impact of modified ribose sugars on nucleic acid conformation and function
Authors: Evich Marina , Spring-Connell Alexander M. , Germann Markus W. 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The modification of the ribofuranose in nucleic acids is a widespread method of manipulating the activity of nucleic acids. These alterations, however, impact the local conformation and chemical reactivity of the sugar. Changes in the conformation and dynamics of the sugar moiety alter the local and potentially global structure and plasticity of nucleic acids, which in turn contributes to recognition, binding of ligands and enzymatic activity of proteins. This review article introduces the conformational properties of the (deoxy)ribofuranose ring and then explores sugar modifications and how they impact local and global structure and dynamics in nucleic acids.
Synthesis of biotinylated bivalent zanamivir analogs as probes for influenza viruses
Authors: Das Amrita , Gurale Bharat P. , Dhawane Abasaheb N. , Iyer Suri S. 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The synthesis of a biotinylated bivalent zanamivir analog as a probe for influenza viruses is reported. The compound was used in a ‘glycan’ based sandwich assay; where glycans were immobilized on glass slides to capture strains of influenza A H1N1, A/Brisbane/59/2007 virus; the biotinylated bivalent zanamivir analog-labeled streptavidin complex was used as reporter. This research strongly suggests that glycans can be used for capturing and reporting influenza viruses and the biotinylated compounds can be used as probes for capturing and isolating influenza viruses from complex mixtures.
Synthesis of silodosin glucuronide and its deuterated counterpart: solving a problematic O-glycosylation of a nitrogen-containing molecule
Authors: Zhou Jun , Liu Yunpeng , Zhu Hailiang , Zhu He , Wang Peng George 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
We report here the first chemical synthesis of silodosin glucuronide, a metabolite of the α1A-adrenoceptor antagonist silodosin, and its deuterium-labeled counterpart. As a key synthetic step, the incorporation of a glucuronosyl unit onto silodosin invariably led to either an undesired orthoester or a complex mixture under an array of standard glycosylation conditions. This problematic O-glycosylation may be attributed to the presence of multiple basic groups that could neutralize the acidic activators, decrease the nucleophilicity of a hydroxy group via hydrogen bond or even facilitate acyl migration side reactions. After elaborate tuning of reaction conditions, success was eventually achieved by using perbenzoylated d-glucuronosyl N-phenyltrifluroacetimidate (PTFA) as donor in combination with a procedure of sequential addition of TMSOTf. This protocol is potentially general for the glycosylation of other nitrogen-containing small molecule drugs.
Pseudorange error analysis for precise indoor positioning system
Authors: Pola Marek , Bezoušek Pavel 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
There is a currently developed system of a transmitter indoor localization intended for fire fighters or members of rescue corps. In this system the transmitter of an ultra-wideband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing signal position is determined by the time difference of arrival method. The position measurement accuracy highly depends on the directpath signal time of arrival estimation accuracy which is degraded by severe multipath in complicated environments such as buildings. The aim of this article is to assess errors in the direct-path signal time of arrival determination caused by multipath signal propagation and noise. Two methods of the direct-path signal time of arrival estimation are compared here: the cross correlation method and the spectral estimation method.
Implementation of variable segments to model the arterial system using electromechanical analogy

Published: July 2017

AbstractThe article deals with the design of an electrical model of variable segments of a non-symmetrical tree of small arteries This model can be used to simulate the blood pressure and flow. Peripheral arterial resistance changes are modelled by an exponentially dependent resistor. By modulating the capacitor value, we can model the arterial wall properties which depend on the arterial pressure. Simulations are performed in which vasoconstriction and vasodilation were modelled by varying the transmural pressure. As a result, we can observe the changes in the blood pressure for each arterial generation.
Increased Plasma Cathepsin S at the Time of Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty is Associated with 6-Months’ Restenosis of the Femoropopliteal Artery
Authors: Mijovski Mojca Bozic , Boc Vinko , Fonovic Ursa Pecar , Marc Janja , Blinc Ales , Kos Janko , Cerne Darko 
Published: July 2017

SummaryBackground: We tested the hypothesis that increased levels of cathepsin S and decreased levels of cystatin C in plasma at the time of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) are associated with the occurrence of 6-months’ restenosis of the femoropopliteal artery (FPA). Methods: 20 patients with restenosis and 24 matched patients with patent FPA after a 6-months follow-up were in - cluded in this study. They all exhibited disabling claudication or critical limb ischemia and had undergone technically successful PTA. They were all receiving statins and ACE in hi - bitors (or angiotensin II receptor antagonist) before the PTA and the therapy did not change throughout the observational period. Plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein were < 10 mg/L and of creatinine within the reference range at the time of the PTA. Plasma concentration and activity of cathepsin S, together with its potent inhibitor cystatin C, were measured the day before and the day after the PTA. Results: The increased plasma concentration and activity of cathepsin S at the time of PTA was associated with the occurrence of 6-months’ restenosis of FPA, independently of established risk factors (lesion complexity, infrapopliteal run-off vessels, type of PTA, age, gender, smoking, diabetes, lipids) and of cystatin C. Plasma cystatin C concentration was not associated with restenosis and did not correlate with cathepsin S activity and concentration in the plasma. Conclusion: Increased level of plasma cathepsin S at the time of PTA is associated with 6-months’ restenosis of PTA, independently of established risk factors.
An application of a water assessment and simulation model in the remediation of the eutrophication capacity of a tropical water system: Case study the Lake Obili in Yaounde (Cameroon)
Authors: Ajeagah Gideon A. , Abanda W. Victorien B. , Nkeng George E. 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
Lake Obili is one of the most famous lakes in the city of Yaounde, Cameroon. Studies carried out in this lake showed that it was hyper eutrophic and therefore it represents a great danger because it is used for aquaculture, tourism and a suitable laboratory for hydro-biological engineering. It is thus very vital to restore this lake ecosystem that singles itself in the heart of the city of Yaounde. This can be greatly facilitated through the use of Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP) of the United State Environmental protection Agency (USEPA). The outcomes of the previous results obtained from EUTRO, a Subroutine of the WASP model specialised in determining eutrophication level have proven that the remediation of this lake can be achievable through the implementation of a wet dredging, the construction and restoration of a wastewater treatment plant, the implementation of environmental incentive policies and the arrangement of the access to the lake. The application of the model is a contribution to the scientific mastery of nutrient flow, lake functioning and possibilities of restauration of highly polluted tropical water bodies subjected to domestic and industrial pollution.
Assessment of groundwater vulnerability to pollution using the Kherici’s method in the Talezza plain, Collo region (NE Algeria)
Authors: Attoui Badra , Benrabah Samia T. , Majour Habiba , Zair Nadjet 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The intrinsic vulnerability of groundwater aquifers refers to their sensitivity to all contamination coming from soil surface irrespective of the nature of the polluting. In order to improve the protection of groundwater, there must be a reduction in the infiltration of contaminants towards the reservoir through the impacting factors determination of this phenomenon by means of research. There are collected models that include particular number of factors which allow the determination of a sign of groundwater vulnerability of all superficial pollutions.
The goal of the study centers on ascertaining the state of vulnerability and the risk of groundwater pollution of the Collo region with a new proposed method by Kherici. Generally, assessment methods of vulnerability and the danger of groundwater pollution employ parametric systems with numerical quotation, cartographic superposition where the analytical methods are based on equations. In this study, we consider the combination of criteria dependent on natural factors (thickness of the unsaturated zone, geologic facies, degree of auto-purification) and the causes of groundwater vulnerability to man-made pollution (anthropogenic factors).

Published: July 2017

AbstractAlgeria is amongst the African countries most affected by climate change impacts especially by drought which caused considerable economic losses in the past decades. In this paper, drought monitoring for the period between 1970 and 2011 was conducted in the Seybouse watershed by analysing annual rainfall data in terms of variability and trends along with the calculation of the standardized precipitation index (SPI). The results indicated important inter-annual rainfall fluctuation and a significant increasing trend. The estimated drought indices indicated that the Seybouse watershed experienced in the past a long dry period with a moderate severity followed by a long wet period at the majority of the study area. Moreover, the interpolation of the standardized precipitation indices (SPI) on the entire Seybouse basin in GIS allowed visualizing and evaluating the spatial-temporal evolution of drought in the region which should help the decision-makers in the management of water resources, agriculture and other activities that may be affected by drought.

Published: July 2017

Abstract
The effect of deposition temperature on the structural, optical and electrical properties of copper bismuth sulphide (CuBiS2) thin films deposited by chemical bath deposition onto glass substrates at different deposition temperatures (40 °C, 50 °C, 60 °C and 70 °C) for 5 hours deposition time period was investigated. The obtained films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) and optical absorption spectra. All deposited films were polycrystalline and had an orthorhombic structure. Their grain size had changed with deposition temperature and their compositions were nearly stoichiometric. The optical band gap value was decreased from 2.44 eV to 2.33 eV with increasing the film thickness. Electrical parameters such as mobility and type of electrical conduction were determined from the Hall effect measurements. They showed that the obtained films have n-type conductivity and mobility values of the copper bismuth sulphide (CuBiS2) films have changed with deposition temperature.
Monolayer Graphene Can Emit SHG Waves
Authors: Carvalho David N. , Biancalana Fabio , Marini Andrea 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe usually-held notion that monolayer graphene, a centrosymmetric system, does not allow even-harmonic generation when illuminated at normal incidence is challenged by the discovery of a peculiar effect we term the dynamical centrosymmetry breaking mechanism. This effect results in a global pulse-induced oscillation of the Dirac cones which in turn produces second harmonic waves. We prove that this result can only be found by using the full Dirac equation and show that the widely used semiconductor Bloch equations fail to reproduce this and some other important physics of graphene. These results clear the way for further investigation concerning nonlinear light-matter interactions in a wide range of two-dimensional materials admitting either a gapped or ungapped Dirac-like spectrum.
Heidegger and Scripture: The Calling of Thinking in Our Abandonment
Authors: Costello Peter 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
This paper seeks to perform an interdisciplinary reading of some scriptural passages in light of Heidegger‘s phenomenology generally and his discussion of thinking in particular. The paper treats one passage from Isaiah and two from the Gospels of Luke and John that highlight the human situation of signification (or meaning) and abandonment (or alienation). Using Heidegger‘s description of experience, which roots the logic and unfolding of meaning as expressing the structure of human existence, the paper proposes that the movement toward the divine that each of the scriptural passages embodies (albeit each in its own unique situation) moves us toward an essential insight--namely that the human being exists as a divine sign of care. As such a sign, humans exist not just as the reception of the calling but also as the very calling of thinking itself.
