Development and performance of EUV pellicles
Authors: Brouns Derk 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
In a lithography process, an image on a mask (reticle) is projected onto a wafer. Continuous decrease in feature sizes also led to a reduction in the wavelength used for exposing. The next step is the move from 193-nm light to extreme ultra-violet (EUV) at 13.5 nm. This poses a lot of challenges that have been overcome in the past years. One of these challenges is the protection of the reticle from front side defects. This protection can be achieved by the use of an EUV pellicle. This is a thin membrane that protects particles from landing on the reticle surface, as will be explained in more detail later. With multiple semiconductor manufacturers preparing for volume EUV manufacturing, the need for a volume production-ready pellicle solution is here today. This article gives an overview of the performance of the current EUV pellicle solution and the status of the development of future EUV pellicles.

Authors: Boguszewski Dariusz , Falkowska Magdalena , Adamczyk Jakub Grzegorz , Białoszewski Dariusz 
Published: June 2017

Summary
Study aim: To determine the effect of foam rolling on the functional limitations of the musculoskeletal system.
Material and methods: The study encompassed 37 healthy and physically active women divided into two groups. Group 1 comprised women who performed self-massage with a foam roller after physical effort twice a week, for two months. Group 2 (control) comprised women who did not undergo any exercises or treatment after physical effort. The study used the following research tools: the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test, the Core Muscle Strength and Stability Test (CMS&ST), and the Sit and Reach Test.
Results: The study revealed that foam rolling minimized functional limitations (as measured with the FMS test). The differences between the first and second measurement in Group 1 were statistically significant (p=0.014). In the control group, the results of both measurements were similar. In the CMS&ST, the maximal result of three minutes was not achieved. Moreover, no improvement of results was observed. In the Sit and Reach Test, a statistically significant improvement in the flexibility of the posterior muscles of the thigh was noted in Group 1 (right lower limb p=0.009, left lower limb p = 0.007).
Conclusions: 1. Foam rolling may minimize the functional limitations of the musculoskeletal system. It is recommended to incorporate self-myofascial release techniques after physical effort into training. 2. Using foam rolling helped maintain the results obtained in the Core Muscle Strength and Stability Test. Therefore, foam rolling may help maintain the achieved core stability.
Generating monotone quantities for the heat equation
Authors: Bennett Jonathan , Bez Neal 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to expose and further develop a simple yet surprisingly far-reaching framework for generating monotone quantities for positive solutions to linear heat equations in euclidean space. This framework is intimately connected to the existence of a rich variety of algebraic closure properties of families of sub/super-solutions, and more generally solutions of systems of differential inequalities capturing log-convexity properties such as the Li–Yau gradient estimate. Various applications are discussed, including connections with the general Brascamp–Lieb inequality and the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroup.
A Balanced Tri-band PD Based on Microstrip-slotline Transition Structure Embedded Complementary Split-ring Resonators
Authors: Chen Lei , Li Xiao Yan , Wei Feng 
Published: June 2017

AbstractA balanced tri-band equal power divider (PD) is proposed based on a balanced stepped-impedance microstrip-slotline transition structure in this paper. Multi-band differential-mode (DM) responses can be realized by embedding multiple complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs) into the slotline resonator. It is found that a high and wideband common-mode (CM) suppression can be achieved. Moreover, the center frequencies of the DM passbands are independent from the CM ones, which significantly simplifies the design procedure. In order to validate its practicalbility, a balanced PD with three DM passbands centred at 1.57, 2.5 and 3.5 GHz is fabricated and a good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed. To our best knowledge, a balanced tri-band PD is the first ever reported.

Authors: Kazmi Kaleem Raza , Ali Rehan 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to consider a generalized mixed variational-like inequality problem and prove a Minty-type lemma for its related auxiliary problems in a real Banach space. We prove the existence of a solution of these auxiliary problems. Further, we prove some properties of a solution set of generalized mixed variational-like inequality problems. Furthermore, we use a hybrid projection method to find a common element of a solution set of
a system of unrelated generalized mixed variational-like inequality problems for generalized relaxed α-monotone mappings and the set of fixed points of a common fixed point problem for a family of generalized asymptotically quasi-ϕ-nonexpansive mappings in a reflexive, uniformly smooth and strictly convex Banach space.
Application of Nephelometry to Automatic Control of Cleaning Time during Cleaning Process in Clean in Place System
Authors: Piepiórka-Stepuk Joanna , Mierzejewska Sylwia , Jakubowski Marek 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The article aimed at the evaluation of possible use of nephelometers to monitor changes of turbidity in cleaning solution while cleaning in flow. The results demonstrate the ability to control the duration of cleaning programs. The tests were carried out in a laboratory Clean in Place station and aimed to clean a 10-section plate heat exchanger contaminated by milk. On the basis of the data, the turbidity curves were calculated. On their basis, the kinetic of the cleaning process was revealed. Following turbidity data collection, the heat exchanger plates were also checked for remaining milk contamination. The proposed cleaning steps allow for the possibility to manipulate the cleaning program’s time, and, correspondingly, enable higher energy efficiency in the program. In comparison with the conventional cleaning program currently used in processing plants, our findings demonstrate that the proposed method to monitor turbidity reduces energy consumption by 40 % without decreasing cleanliness.
Language Orientations and the Sustainability of Arbanasi Language in Croatia – A Case of Linguistic Injustice
Authors: Meštrić Klara Bilić , Šimičić Lucija 
Published: June 2017

AbstractDespite numerous positive aspects of the global development of language-as-right orientation, we argue that its application is rooted in methodological nationalism, i.e. the idea of society being equal to a nationstate (Chernilo 2006), and the monoglot ideology based on the idea of one proper version of a historically and politically privileged dialect carrying the status of a language. This dominant preconception of social phenomena thus leaves many varieties in a legislative vacuum. As a consequence, language rights, often in the form of more or less mandatory legal instruments, concern only a (politically established) few. When this institutional inadequacy is paired with the existing orders of indexicality, then these varieties face marginalisation processes that render language use even more unsustainable. To address the issue of language sustainability, we analyse the language-as-right, language-as-resource and language-as-problem orientations in Croatia on the case of the Arbanasi, a community of descendants of Catholic albanophones who settled in the periphery of Zadar in the 18th century and whose group identity is marked by significant language loss. We analyse how speakers and community members themselves perceive marginalisation processes, especially concerning linguistic (in)justice that stems from the policies that hinder sustainability of Arbanasi language use in the long run.

Abstract
Morán-Navarro, R, Martínez-Cava, A, Sánchez-Medina, L, Mora-Rodríguez, R, González-Badillo, JJ, and Pallarés, JG. Movement velocity as a measure of level of effort during resistance exercise. J Strength Cond Res 33(6): 1496–1504, 2019—This study analyzed whether the loss of repetition velocity during a resistance exercise set was a reliable indicator of the number of repetitions left in reserve. After the assessment of one-repetition (1RM) strength and full load-velocity relationship, 30 men were divided into 3 groups according to their 1RM strength per body mass: novice, well trained, and highly trained. On 2 separate occasions and in random order, subjects performed tests of maximal number of repetitions to failure against loads of 65, 75, and 85% 1RM in 4 exercises: bench press, full squat, prone bench pull, and shoulder press. For each exercise, and regardless of the load being used, the absolute velocities associated with stopping a set before failure, leaving a certain number of repetitions (2, 4, 6, or 8) in reserve, were very similar and showed a high reliability (coefficient of variation [CV] 4.4–8.0%). No significant differences in these stopping velocities were observed for any resistance training exercise analyzed between the novice, well trained and highly trained groups. These results indicate that by monitoring repetition velocity one can estimate with high accuracy the proximity of muscle failure and, therefore, to more objectively quantify the level of effort and fatigue being incurred during resistance training. This method emerges as a substantial improvement over the use of perceived exertion to gauge the number of repetitions left in reserve.

Abstract
Castillo, D, Castagna, C, Cámara, J, Iturricastillo, A, and Yanci, J. Influence of team's rank on soccer referees' external and internal match loads during official matches. J Strength Cond Res 32(6): 1715–1722, 2018—The aim was to examine the external and the internal match loads (ML) of field referees (FRs) attending teams of different ranking during championship matches. Twenty FR who officiated in 30 official soccer matches (30 observations) participated in our study. The criteria for allocating the soccer referees' ML results were based on the teams' final league positions as follows: matches performed by Top 10 teams (TOP10), matches performed by bottom 10 teams (BOT10), and matches played among TOP10 and BOT10 teams (MIXED). External (match activities, accelerations [Acc], and decelerations [Dec]) and internal MLs (Edwards' heart rate [HR]-derived training impulse [TRIMPEDW], HRmean expressed as a percentage of HRpeak [%HRpeak], and differentiated rating of perceived exertion [dRPE]) were recorded. The main results showed that FR, who officiated TOP10 matches, covered more distance at a low walking speed (<3.6 km·h−1) and performed a higher percentage of high-intensity accelerations and decelerations than those FR who officiated lower ranked teams' matches. Moreover, FR who officiated MIXED matches registered lower values of TRIMPEDW MLs and %HRpeak and declared higher respiratory (sRPEres ML) and muscular (sRPEmus ML) perceived MLs during the second half. Considering those FR who officiate matches between teams of a higher competitive level will need to produce higher match responses, especially regarding the percentage of distance covered at high intensity, accelerations, and decelerations; physical trainers of soccer referees at a high competitive level should implement these high-intensity short-term actions in specific training regimes.

Abstract
Reproductive barriers are commonly observed in both animals and plants, in which they maintain species integrity and contribute to speciation. This report shows that a combination of loss-of-function alleles at two duplicated loci, DUPLICATED GAMETOPHYTIC STERILITY 1 (DGS1) on chromosome 4 and DGS2 on chromosome 7, causes pollen sterility in hybrid progeny derived from an interspecific cross between cultivated rice, Oryza sativa, and an Asian annual wild rice, O. nivara. Male gametes carrying the DGS1 allele from O. nivara (DGS1-nivaras) and the DGS2 allele from O. sativa (DGS2-T65s) were sterile, but female gametes carrying the same genotype were fertile. We isolated the causal gene, which encodes a protein homologous to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNAP) III subunit C4 (RPC4). RPC4 facilitates the transcription of 5S rRNAs and tRNAs. The loss-of-function alleles at DGS1-nivaras and DGS2-T65s were caused by weak or nonexpression of RPC4 and an absence of RPC4, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that gene duplication of RPC4 at DGS1 and DGS2 was a recent event that occurred after divergence of the ancestral population of Oryza from other Poaceae or during diversification of AA-genome species.
Chorioamnionitis and Management of Asymptomatic Infants ≥35 Weeks Without Empiric Antibiotics
Authors: Jan Amanda I. , Ramanathan Rangasamy , Cayabyab Rowena G. 
Published: June 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Management of asymptomatic infants ≥35 weeks’ gestation born to mothers with chorioamnionitis remains controversial, with many clinicians considering the need for changes to the current guidelines. The study objective was to evaluate the outcomes of asymptomatic chorioamnionitis-exposed neonates without the use of immediate empirical antibiotics.

METHODS:
A retrospective data review was conducted from May 2008 to December 2014, including asymptomatic infants ≥35 weeks’ gestation with a maternal diagnosis of clinical chorioamnionitis.

RESULTS:
A total of 240 asymptomatic infants with chorioamnionitis exposure were identified. The majority of asymptomatic chorioamnionitis-exposed infants, 162 (67.5%), remained well in the mother-infant unit with a median stay of 2 days. There were 78 (32.5%) infants admitted to the NICU and exposed to antibiotics due to abnormal laboratory data or development of clinical symptoms. Of those infants admitted to the NICU, 19 (24%) received antibiotics for &lt;72 hours, 47 (60%) were treated for culture-negative clinical sepsis, and 12 (15%) for culture-positive sepsis, with a median NICU stay of 7 days.

CONCLUSIONS:
Nonroutine use of empirical antibiotics in asymptomatic newborns ≥35 weeks’ gestation with maternal chorioamninonitis prevented NICU admission in two-thirds of these infants. This prevented unnecessary antibiotic exposure, increased hospitalization costs, and disruption of mother-infant bonding and breastfeeding. Laboratory evaluation and clinical observation without immediate antibiotic administration may be incorporated into a management approach in asymptomatic chorioamnionitis-exposed neonates. Additional studies are needed to establish the safety of this approach.

Abstract

Lessons Learned
Cobimetinib and duligotuzumab were well tolerated as single agents and in combination with other agents. The cobimetinib and duligotuzumab combination was associated with increased toxicity, most notably gastrointestinal, and limited efficacy in the patient population tested.

Background
KRAS-mutant tumors possess abnormal mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway signaling, leading to dysregulated cell proliferation. Cobimetinib blocks MAPK signaling. The dual-action antibody duligotuzumab (MEHD7945A) inhibits ligand binding to both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3). Blockade of EGFR/HER3 and inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) in KRAS-mutant tumors may provide additive benefit.

Methods
Patients with KRAS-mutant solid tumors were eligible for this phase Ib dose-escalation study with a planned expansion phase. Duligotuzumab was given intravenously (IV) at 1,100 mg every 2 weeks (q2w), while cobimetinib was given orally in a standard 3 + 3 design to identify the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). The primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of this combination.

Results
Twenty-three patients were enrolled. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) included grade 4 hypokalemia and grade 3 mucosal inflammation, asthenia, and dermatitis acneiform. Seventy percent of patients experienced grade 3 or worse adverse events (AEs). Five (22%) and 12 (52%) patients missed at least 1 dose of duligotuzumab and cobimetinib, respectively, and 9 (39%) patients required a cobimetinib dose reduction. Three (13%) patients discontinued due to an AE. Best response was limited to 9 patients with stable disease and 13 patients with progressive disease.

Conclusion
Given the limited tolerability and efficacy of this combination, the study did not proceed to expansion stage and closed for enrollment.

Published: June 2017

PURPOSE
This paper critically analyzes and assesses the various factors of occupational health and safety (OHS), and elucidate the factors affecting construction workers’ behavior in different construction projects of Oman. It aims to create Occupational Health and Safety awareness in construction workers working for Social Entrepreneurs in Oman.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH
Two hundred and fifty-two construction workers from various projects were selected based on a simple random sampling basis, and the data was collected through a well-defined questionnaire.
FINDINGS
The study shows that workers favor communication in the improvement of workers’ behavior in the industrial and infrastructure construction projects.Education and training help in capacity building and skills development and contributes towards sustainable positive OHS result in petrochemical construction projects. Management commitment plays a major part to maintain a sustained hazard free environment in building construction projects. The study also shows that the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) factors –OHS policies, health care, communication, management commitment, education and training and workers’ behavior, have a direct impact on health and safety results towards social entrepreneurship of creating awareness in the construction sectors of Oman.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/ IMPLICATIONS
A model named Construction Industries Influencing Factors Framework (CIIFF) Model, has been developed with the orientation of workers’ behavior which can be developed further making improvements in the existing mechanism and the factors influencing can be dealt with wider procedures to ensure improvements.
SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The model may help in creating tools that are more effective to reduce Occupational Health and Safety related accidents and property damages in a construction project.
