Multilinear Grammar: Ranks and Interpretations
Authors: Gibbon Dafydd , Griffiths Sascha 
Published: September 2017

Abstract Multilinear Grammar provides a framework for integrating the many different syntagmatic structures of language into a coherent semiotically based Rank Interpretation Architecture, with default linear grammars at each rank. The architecture defines a Sui Generis Condition on ranks, from discourse through utterance and phrasal structures to the word, with its sub-ranks of morphology and phonology. Each rank has unique structures and its own semantic-pragmatic and prosodic-phonetic interpretation models. Default computational models for each rank are proposed, based on a Procedural Plausibility Condition: incremental processing in linear time with finite working memory. We suggest that the Rank Interpretation Architecture and its multilinear properties provide systematic design features of human languages, contrasting with unordered lists of key properties or single structural properties at one rank, such as recursion, which have previously been been put forward as language design features. The framework provides a realistic background for the gradual development of complexity in the phylogeny and ontogeny of language, and clarifies a range of challenges for the evaluation of realistic linguistic theories and applications. The empirical objective of the paper is to demonstrate unique multilinear properties at each rank and thereby motivate the Multilinear Grammar and Rank Interpretation Architecture framework as a coherent approach to capturing the complexity of human languages in the simplest possible way.

Published: September 2017

Abstract
In the process of ocean development, the technology for maritime communication system is a hot research field, of which information security is vital for the normal operation of the whole system, and that is also one of the difficulties in the research of maritime communication system. In this paper, a kind of maritime communication cryptographic SOC(system on chip) is introduced, and its compiler framework is put forward through analysis of working mode and problems faced by compiler front end. Then, a loop unrolling factor calculating algorithm based on queue theory, named UFBOQ (unrolling factor based on queue), is proposed to make parallel optimization in the compiler frontend with consideration of the instruction memory capacity limit. Finally, the scalar replacement method is used to optimize unrolled code to solve the memory access latency on the parallel computing efficiency, for continuous data storage characteristics of cryptographic algorithm. The UFBOQ algorithm and scalar replacement prove effective and appropriate, of which the effect achieves the linear speedup.

Abstract
When an offshore oil field completed and put into production, new subsea pipelines and the new cable need to be established. Cable protection pipe clamp is used to fix cable protection pipe on the jacket. In order to avoid the problem of traditional steel structure clamp splice, counterpoint, fastening difficulty when installed cable protection pipe under water, reduce the risk and workload of under water, This paper develop a new type of portable connecting riser clamp -“backpack clamp” which solve the riser cable protection pipe difficult underwater installation problem. The main structure of backpack clamp used three valves type structure. The load characteristic of a clamping device was determined by the Morison equation which was a classical theory. Clamp device underwater mechanics analysis model was established. The minimum tension pre-tightening force was determined. The results show that the strength of the base meets the requirements after strength analysis with finite element analysis method, stability and strength experiments, which means the clamp based on resin matrix composite is feasible.

Abstract
It is important to evaluate the deformation and failure of sandstone in the foundation engineering of coast, river bank and lake shore. While the deformation and failure of sandstone is a comprehensive result of energy release and dissipation, and energy release is the internal reason which leads to global failure of the sandstone. The experimental analysis is conducted on the character of energy revolution of the sandstone specimen by rating loading and unloading, and the catastrophe model is followed in analyzing elastic strain energy accumulation and release in rock deformation and failure. The index based on elastic energy release is proposed to assess the rock brittleness. It is found that increasing water content is to relieve energy release and catastrophe failure of the rock specimen, and weakening the capacity of elastic energy storage. The peak and residual values of elastic energy are raised as the confining pressure increases, and the post-peak released energy decreases progressively. The confining pressure strengthens energy storage and inhibits energy release of the rock specimen, and saturation of rock will weaken this inhibit effect. The brittleness index decreases with increasing confining pressure as the rock specimen transforming from brittle to ductile.

Published: September 2017

Abstract
Bohai is a typical marginal oil field in an ice region, where most of the oil and gas platforms are economical. Sea ice is the main factor that affects the safety of oil and gas platforms in Bohai. Due to the complexity of the ice load and ice-induced vibrations, there are large security risks when developing Bohai oil and gas in the winter. It is difficult to ensure the safe production of oil and gas in winter using existing sea ice disaster warning technologies. Based on winter oil and gas production in the Bohai Sea’s Liaodong Bay, a set of suitable sea ice management systems is proposed in this paper. These systems integrate sea ice monitoring, risk assessment and risk prediction technologies. Based on the risk warning system, an ice management model of a Bohai ice platform has been put into practice, which ensures the safe production of the platform in winter.
Understanding methods of preparation and characterization of pore-filling polymer composites for proton exchange membranes: a beginner’s guide
Authors: Gloukhovski Robert , Freger Viatcheslav , Tsur Yoed 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Composite membranes based on porous support membranes filled with a proton-conducting polymer appear to be a promising approach to develop novel proton exchange membranes (PEMs). It allows optimization of the properties of the filler and the matrix separately, e.g. for maximal conductivity of the former and maximal physical strength of the latter. In addition, the confinement itself can alter the properties of the filling ionomer, e.g. toward higher conductivity and selectivity due to alignment and restricted swelling. This article reviews the literature on PEMs prepared by filling of submicron and nanometric size pores with Nafion and other proton-conductive polymers. PEMs based on alternating perfluorinated and non-perfluorinated polymer systems and incorporation of fillers are briefly discussed too, as they share some structure/transport relationships with the pore-filling PEMs. We also review here the background knowledge on structural and transport properties of Nafion and proton-conducting polymers in general, as well as experimental methods concerned with preparation and characterization of pore-filling membranes. Such information will be useful for preparing next-generation composite membranes, which will allow maximal utilization of beneficial characteristics of polymeric proton conductors and understanding the complicated structure/transport relationships in the pore-filling composite PEMs.

Authors: Gaub Florence 
Published: September 2017

Kurzfassung:
Der Artikel befasst sich mit der Kritik an dem NATO Einsatz Unified Protector in Libyen im Sommer 2011. Er setzt sich mit den fünf hauptsächlichen Argumenten der Kritiker auseinander. Diese sind: (1) Der Konflikt zwischen Bürgern und Regierung sei von außen induziert worden, (2) das Gaddafi Regime hätte den Konflikt politisch oder militärisch lösen können, wenn es nicht zur Intervention der NATO gekommen wäre, (3) das Gaddafi-Regime habe keine Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit begangen, tatsächlich sei es das Ziel der NATO gewesen Gaddafi zu stürzen; (4) die NATO habe mit den Luftangriffe das Land zerstört und Tausende Bürger getötet, und (5) die NATO habe keinen Plan für die Zeit nach Gaddafi gehabt und habe daher das Land lediglich ins Chaos gestürzt. Keines dieser Argumente hält einer kritischen Prüfung stand.

As frequencies of the disasters are increasing, new technologies can be used to enhance disaster resilience performance of the construction industry. This paper investigates the usage of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in enhancing disaster resilience of the construction industry and in the establishment of the resilient built environment. In-depth literature review findings reveal BIM’s contribution to the disaster resilience in the pre-disaster and post-disaster phases especially through influencing the performance of the supply chain, construction process, and rescue operations. This paper emphasises the need for BIM’s integration to the education and training curriculums of the built environment professionals. Policy makers, construction professionals, professional bodies, academics can benefit from this research.
Hydro Power Development and Its Impacts on the Habitats and Diversity of Montane Birds of Western Himalayas
Authors: Jolli V. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
The montane forest ecosystems of Western Himalayas are under severe anthropogenic pressure because of hydro-electric project (HEP) development. Several studies have highlighted downstream effects of HEP, but there is no information on the effects of HEP-building activities on upstream fauna. In particular, studies on upstream Himalayan montane ecosystems and fauna around dams are lacking. I investigated effects of dam-building activities on bird communities in Indian Western Himalayas. I studied the response of bird communities along a disturbance gradient with the aim to identify key factors influencing their distribution. I surveyed primary and secondary montane forests, agricultural lands, and dam-affected (disturbed) habitats. Response variables included total avifaunal and woodland species richness and abundance, which were estimated by point-count surveys. Explanatory variables included tree and shrub density, canopy cover, disturbance intensity, and elevation. Bird species richness was higher in undisturbed and lesser disturbed sites, lower in agricultural sites, and lowest in HEP-affected sites. Canonical correspondence analysis revealed that canopy cover, shrub density, and disturbance influenced species distribution; woodland birds significantly negatively responded to dam-building activities. Th e study has shown that dam-building activity has negatively affected montane birds. I propose that increasing shrub and tree cover in dam-disturbed sites would minimise losses of avian habitats.

Exploring the molecular mechanisms that drive the maturation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) during the remyelination process is essential to developing new therapeutic tools to intervene in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. To determine whether L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (L-VGCCs) are required for OPC development during remyelination, we generated an inducible conditional knock-out mouse in which the L-VGCC isoform Cav1.2 was deleted in NG2-positive OPCs (Cav1.2KO). Using the cuprizone (CPZ) model of demyelination and mice of either sex, we establish that Cav1.2 deletion in OPCs leads to less efficient remyelination of the adult brain. Specifically, Cav1.2KOOPCs mature slower and produce less myelin than control oligodendrocytes during the recovery period after CPZ intoxication. This reduced remyelination was accompanied by an important decline in the number of myelinating oligodendrocytes and in the rate of OPC proliferation. Furthermore, during the remyelination phase of the CPZ model, the corpus callosum of Cav1.2KOanimals presented a significant decrease in the percentage of myelinated axons and a substantial increase in the mean g-ratio of myelinated axons compared with controls. In addition, in a mouse line in which the Cav1.2KOOPCs were identified by aCrereporter, we establish that Cav1.2KOOPCs display a reduced maturational rate through the entire remyelination process. These results suggest that Ca2+influx mediated by L-VGCCs in oligodendroglial cells is necessary for normal remyelination and is an essential Ca2+channel for OPC maturation during the remyelination of the adult brain.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIon channels implicated in oligodendrocyte differentiation and maturation may induce positive signals for myelin recovery. Voltage-gated Ca2+channels (VGCCs) are important for normal myelination by acting at several critical steps during oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) development. To determine whether voltage Ca2+entry is involved in oligodendrocyte differentiation and remyelination, we used a conditional knockout mouse for VGCCs in OPCs. Our results indicate that VGCCs can modulate oligodendrocyte maturation in the demyelinated brain and suggest that voltage-gated Ca2+influx in OPCs is critical for remyelination. These findings could lead to novel approaches for obtaining a better understanding of the factors that control OPC maturation in order to stimulate this pool of progenitors to replace myelin in demyelinating diseases.

Prostituição, estigma e marginalização: o reconhecimento do vínculo de emprego das profissionais do sexo
Authors: Abal Felipe Cittolin , Schroeder Pâmela Dos Santos 
Published: September 2017

Resumo: O presente artigo é voltado ao estudo da necessidade de reconhecimento da relação empregatícia existente entre as profissionais do sexo e os estabelecimentos em que laboram, utilizando-se de uma visão jurídica e sociológica. O entendimento jurisprudencial trabalhista majoritário se volta no sentido do não reconhecimento dessa relação de emprego em virtude da ilicitude do objeto do contrato de emprego, retirando das trabalhadoras dessa categoria a proteção trabalhista e os direitos trabalhistas a que fariam jus. A prostituição como profissão existe desde as primeiras civilizações, subsistindo hodiernamente como uma atividade presente na grande maioria das cidades brasileiras. Apesar disso, as prostitutas sofrem com um processo de estigmatização que as remete à margem da sociedade, fato que é legitimado pelo não reconhecimento de sua condição de trabalhadores como os demais. As profissionais do sexo, conforme entrevistas realizadas, vêem a prostituição como uma profissão idêntica às demais, apesar de sofrerem preconceito por parte da sociedade em virtude de sua atividade. Cabe ao judiciário trabalhista reconhecer a profissão das profissionais do sexo e conferir a elas a mesma proteção dada aos demais trabalhadores como forma de efetivar seu papel de conferir aos obreiros seus direitos constitucionalmente assegurados e concretizar o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana.Palavras-chave: Dignidade da pessoa humana. Justiça do Trabalho. Profissional do sexo. Relação de emprego. Abstract: This article is intended to study the need for recognition of employment relationship among sex workers and the establishments where they work, using a legal and sociological view. The major jurisprudential understanding turns towards non-recognition of this employment relationship due to the illegality of the object of the employment, removing the workers of this category from the labor protection and labor rights to which they would be entitled. Prostitution as a profession has existed since the earliest civilizations, existing in our times as an activity present in most Brazilian cities. Nevertheless, prostitutes suffer from a process of stigmatization that refers them to the margins of society, a fact that is legitimized by the non-recognition of their status as workers as the others. Sex workers, according to the interviews accomplished, see prostitution as a profession similar to the others, despite suffering prejudice from society due to their activity. It is necessary that the labor courts recognize the profession of sex workers and give them the same protection given to other workers as a way to accomplish their role of giving the workers their constitutionally guaranteed rights and implement the principle of human dignity.Keywords: Employment relationship.

The increasing needs and demands of diverse services by the users to be able to exchange and obtain information in real time, reliable, and flexible to be one of the problems faced by existing communication technology. WLAN on the IEEE 802.11 standard is one of the wireless technologies that can be the solution of the problem. It has a relatively small area of ??communication that is between 20-70 meters only, only able to serve up to 2007 stations, and has considerable energy consumption, causing some systems contained in the WLAN in IEEE 802.11 standard less work maximally. With these shortcomings, the WLAN on the IEEE 802.11 standard introduces a new task group called IEEE 802.11ah. IEEE 802.11ah is a new WLAN standard working on the 900 MHz frequency spectrum, a 1 kilometer communications coverage area, capable of serving 8192 stations with new AID hierarchies, has lower energy consumption and can increase throughput value by RAW mechanism.
This study will make changes to the number of RAW slots in the IEEE 802.11ah to see how they affect the network performance. In this research it is found that the change of RAW slot number influence to network performance, in this case is throughput, average delay, packet delivery ratio and energy consumption.

Published: September 2017

Case:
Stress fractures of the first rib rarely have been reported in association with sports activities. We report a case of a cerebellar infarction that possibly was associated with arterial thoracic outlet syndrome (aTOS) that developed as a result of extensive callus formation in a young baseball player with a stress fracture of the first rib.

Conclusion:
According to the literature, almost all cases of stress fracture in the first rib have a relatively good prognosis, and there are only a few reports of TOS occurring as a rare late complication. To our knowledge, there have been no prior reports of cerebellar infarction associated with aTOS following a stress fracture of the first rib.
