Application of the LS-STAG Immersed Boundary/Cut-Cell Method to Viscoelastic Flow Computations
Authors: Botella Olivier , Cheny Yoann , Nikfarjam Farhad , Stoica Marcela 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis paper presents the extension of a well-established Immersed Boundary (IB)/cut-cell method, the LS-STAG method (Y. Cheny & O. Botella, J. Comput. Phys. Vol. 229, 1043-1076, 2010), to viscoelastic flow computations in complex geometries. We recall that for Newtonian flows, the LS-STAG method is based on the finite-volume method on staggered grids, where the IB boundary is represented by its level-set function. The discretization in the cut-cells is achieved by requiring that global conservation properties equations be satisfied at the discrete level, resulting in a stable and accurate method and, thanks to the level-set representation of the IB boundary, at low computational costs.In the present work, we consider a general viscoelastic tensorial equation whose particular cases recover well-known constitutive laws such as the Oldroyd-B, White-Metzner and Giesekus models. Based on the LS-STAG discretization of the Newtonian stresses in the cut-cells, we have achieved a compatible velocity-pressure-stress discretization that prevents spurious oscillations of the stress tensor. Applications to popular benchmarks for viscoelastic fluids are presented: the four-to-one abrupt planar contraction flows with sharp and rounded re-entrant corners, for which experimental and numerical results are available. The results show that the LS-STAG method demonstrates an accuracy and robustness comparable to body-fitted methods.
Mutation of the rice XA21 predicted nuclear localization sequence does not affect resistance toXanthomonas oryzaepv.oryzae
Authors: Wei Tong , Chen Tsung-Chi , Ho Yuen Ting , Ronald Pamela C. 
Published: October 2016

BackgroundThe rice receptor kinase XA21 confers robust resistance to the bacterial pathogenXanthomonas oryzaepv.oryzae(Xoo). We previously reported that XA21 is cleaved in transgenic plants overexpressing XA21 with a GFP tag (Ubi-XA21-GFP) and that the released C-terminal domain is localized to the nucleus. XA21 carries a predicted nuclear localization sequence (NLS) that directs the C-terminal domain to the nucleus in transient assays, whereas alanine substitutions in the NLS disrupt the nuclear localization.MethodsTo determine if the predicted NLS is required for XA21-mediated immunityin planta, we generated transgenic plants overexpressing an XA21 variant carrying the NLS with the same alanine substitutions (Ubi-XA21nls-GFP).ResultsUbi-XA21nls-GFP plants displayed slightly longer lesion lengths, higherXoobacterial populations after inoculation and lower levels of reactive oxygen species production compared with theUbi-XA21-GFP control plants. However, theUbi-XA21nls-GFP plants express lower levels of protein than that observed inUbi-XA21-GFP.DiscussionThese results demonstrate that the predicted NLS is not required for XA21-mediated immunity.
New Pathways for the Dual Gold‐Catalyzed Cyclization of Diynes

Published: October 2016

AbstractThe reaction of thiophene‐based diynes with dual‐activation gold catalysts can provide cyclobutene derivatives or different polycycles by selective C−H insertion reactions. Also, the first σ,π‐digold diyne complex was obtained in a stoichiometric reaction, providing insight into the dual activation mechanism. The new products were unambiguously identified by X‐ray single‐crystal structure analysis.
Language, Literacy, and the Saintly Body: Cistercian Reading Practices and theLife of Lutgard of Aywières(1182–1246)
Authors: Smith Rachel 
Published: October 2016

Many years before the death of Lutgard of Aywières (1182–1246), a thirteenth-century Cistercian nun renowned for her asceticism and visionary insight, Thomas of Cantimpré (ca. 1200–ca. 1270) approached a group of nuns and lay brothers to arrange for the disposal of her relics should she die during his absence. Thomas—a Dominican preacher and theologian who penned a hagiography of Lutgard in addition to several other holy women of the mid-thirteenth century Low Countries—wanted her hand as “a sacred memorial” (sacram memoriam). The abbess Hadewijch agreed to his request. Repeating a medieval misogynistic commonplace, Thomas then wrote that “since it is women's nature to be unable to keep secrets. . . the nuns told Lutgard how I had ordered her hand to be cut off.”
Mobilizing for Some

Published: October 2016

Abstract. This study investigated the effects of politicians’ nonparticipatory and participatory Facebook posts on young people’s political efficacy – a key determinant of political participation. We employed an experimental design, using a sample of N = 125 high school students (15–20 years). Participants either saw a Facebook profile with no posts (control condition), nonparticipatory posts, or participatory posts. While nonparticipatory posts did not affect participants’ political efficacy, participatory posts exerted distinct effects. For those high in trait evaluations of the politician presented in the stimulus material or low in political cynicism, we found significant positive effects on external and collective efficacy. By contrast, for those low in trait evaluations or high in cynicism, we found significant negative effects on external and collective efficacy. We did not find any effects on internal efficacy. The importance of content-specific factors and individual predispositions in assessing the influence of social media use on participation is discussed.

AbstractThe malaria vaccine BK-SE36 is a recombinant protein (SE36) based on the Honduras 1 serine repeat antigen-5 of Plasmodium falciparum, adsorbed to aluminium hydroxide gel. The phase Ib trial in Uganda demonstrated the safety and immunogenicity of BK-SE36. Ancillary analysis in the follow-up study of 6–20 year-old volunteers suggest significant differences in time to first episodes of clinical malaria in vaccinees compared to placebo/control group. Here, we aimed to get further insights into the association of anti-SE36 antibody titres and natural P. falciparum infection. Children who received BK-SE36 and whose antibody titres against SE36 increased by ≥1.92-fold after vaccination were categorised as responders. Most responders did not have or only had a single episode of natural P. falciparum infection. Notably, responders who did not experience infection had relatively high anti-SE36 antibody titres post-second vaccination compared to those who were infected. The anti-SE36 antibody titres of the responders who experienced malaria were boosted after infection and they had lower risk of reinfection. These findings show that anti-SE36 antibody titres induced by BK-SE36 vaccination offered protection against malaria. The vaccine is now being evaluated in a phase Ib trial in children less than 5 years old.
CAN PERIPHERAL OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY B-SCANS INFLUENCE THE SURGEON'S DECISION ON EPISCLERAL SURGERY?
Authors: Alkabes Micol , Massaro Domenico , Ranno Stefano , Nucci Paolo 
Published: October 2016

Purpose:
To describe the case of a young boy affected by a rhegmatogenous retinal redetachment in whom the use of peripheral optical coherence tomography led the vitreoretinal surgeon to treat the patient with an additional surgery instead of a “watchful waiting” strategy.

Methods:
A 13-year-old boy was referred to the Vitreoretinal Department of the study institution affected by a macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal redetachment in his right eye secondary to a second blunt trauma. Three months before, he was treated with episcleral surgery and cryopexy as a result of a first traumatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Once presented to the study Department for a second opinion, a complete ophthalmic examination and optical coherence tomographic scans of the peripheral retina were performed.

Results:
Preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 20/63 (Snellen equivalent). Because the tomographic images clearly showed that the edges of the causative retinal break were not attached to the previous encircling buckle, a second episcleral surgery was performed. Postoperative peripheral optical coherence tomographic B-scans immediately revealed the effective indenting effect of the new scleral buckle, showing a complete reattachment of retinal break's edges. Despite some residual subretinal fluid, best-corrected visual acuity increased to 20/32 after 6 months of the surgery, and no retinal redetachment was observed.

Conclusion:
Pre- and postoperative peripheral optical coherence tomography may help the vitreoretinal surgeon to better evaluate the status of the adhesion between the outer retina and the retinal pigment epithelium after episcleral surgery, especially at the level of the retinal tears causing the retinal detachment. This observation could ultimately influence the surgical decision whether to treat if the suspect buckle's malpositioning is also detected on these images.

The Imperfect Phase Pattern of Real Parabolic Radar Antenna and Data Quality
Authors: Feng Ya-Chien , Fabry Frédéric 
Published: October 2016

AbstractAlthough antennas have well-known power patterns that are commonly used to understand the quality of measurements, they also have phase patterns that are difficult to obtain and are seldom discussed in the radar meteorological community. This study presents the characteristics of the antenna phase pattern of the McGill S-band radar. Phase variations in azimuth and elevation with respect to the main beam axis are obtained using high-resolution scans of an isolated ground target and of an emission source. The two-way phase pattern is relatively constant within the radar main beam, but it changes rapidly at the power minima between the main beam and the first sidelobe. The effects of this phase pattern on ground and weather targets were evaluated and were found to be much more pronounced for point targets than for distributed targets. Nevertheless, proper knowledge of the phase pattern of the radar antenna would enhance the ability to better select ground targets for radar refractivity retrieval and to estimate the quality of radar data.

In the article the urgency of reforming the system of material incentives for the personnel in the socio-cultural sphere is defined. The main theoretical and practical
aspects of application of various forms of non-material stimulation of the personnel at the example of reform of system of stimulation of work of the staff of the
cinema „Aurora“ are considered. The authors reveals the essence of the system of stimulation of work of staff, the role of non-material stimulation of labor, discusses
the relationship between such concepts as „needs“, „stimulus“, „motive“. The basic functions performed by incentive: economic, social and moral functions. The
essence of the concept „motivation“ is not only the establishment of such a mechanism, in which active and producing some results-employment, becomes
a necessary condition for satisfaction of important needs of employees, but also to use corporate-system, social and socio-psychological forms of non-material
incentives of personnel of the enterprise, the need for which justified the analysis of the results of the survey of employees of socio-cultural sphere.
In this article the formation of a system of motivation and non-material incentives for employees of enterprises of film screening that will ensure effective delivery
of services to consumers the movies-video is considered. It was found that the stimulation system is satisfactory, but there is a possibility of reducing the efficiency
of the system due to the indifference of employees towards their work, lack of initiative. So workers don‘t want to be involved in resolution of the problems in the
team.
The personnel‘s interest in efficient operation is clarified, but the existing shortcomings in the system of nonmaterial stimulation, in the opinion of the working team,
in varying degrees, affect job satisfaction and reduce it.

Five Years of Oil Production in the Jubilee Field: Operational Safety Lessons Learned for TEN and Other Oil Fields in Offshore Ghana
Authors: Kotey Johnson Amon 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The Jubilee field in offshore Ghana, commenced oil production in November 2010 and since then, the Field has produced over 18 million barrels of oil and undertaken over 180 crude oil offtakes. The field is Tullow Oil largest revenue stream and also plays a significant contribution to the Ghanaian economy.
This successful field development has had its fair share of challenges throughout the past 5 years where many incidents have been reported and investigated. These incidents have been classified as near misses, process safety events, environmental events and recordable injuries.
This paper will look at these incidents, examine their underlying root causes, why the root causes of these incidents re-occur and provide guidance which will be beneficial to the TEN Oil field and other offshore fields in Ghana.
The paper also looks at human factors, their impact on the Jubilee operation and the challenges encountered, along with some practical solutions. The role of leadership and management commitment in the Jubilee field in operational safety is also considered.
One theme that consistently appeared in lessons learned of Jubilee field incidents is Operational Discipline; this subject and what it means to our operation will be explored in greater detail throughout the paper; some of the solutions implemented to address this important issue will also be shared.
Lastly, the paper offers an insight into how the identification of NORM and Benzene in the Jubilee field were addressed, the challenges involved and the systematic steps currently being pursued to address these problems.
Causas y efectos de un destino no sustentable: Caso Playas Públicas de Cancún, Quintana Roo

Les fonds du Parti communiste français déposés aux Archives départementales de Seine-Saint-Denis
Authors: Carreau Pascal 
Published: October 2016

La partie la plus importante du fonds des archives du Parti communiste déposées aux Archives départementales de Seine-Saint-Denis est postérieure aux années 1940. Il s’agit de deux séries de microfilms de complément. En effet, pour différentes raisons, les archives des organes centraux du Parti communiste n’ont pas été conservées, pour la période antérieure à 1945, sous leur forme originale. Il s’agit donc des copies de documents envoyés par le Parti communiste français à l’Internationale communiste. La première série est une copie partielle (environ 40 %) du fonds 517-1 de l’Internationale (Parti communiste français), soit environ 100 000 vues. L’autre série de microfilms représente la copie d’une série de documents issus de différents fonds du RGASPI, réalisée auparavant dans le cadre d’un programme de coopération entre l’université de Bourgogne et l’Institut de recherche marxiste dans les années 1980. Les instruments de recherche élaborés à partir de ces fonds se proposent de couvrir l’ensemble de la période 1920-fin des années 1970. Il sont de deux sortes : d’une part, un état des fonds des réunions du comité central du Parti communiste, dont le premier tome (1921-1939), est paru ; d’autre part, une base de données, établie à partir du corpus formé par les procès-verbaux du Bureau politique, du secrétariat et du Comité central pour l’ensemble de la période s’étendant jusqu’aux années 1970.
A revision of the genus Rhinotorus Förster, 1869 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Ctenopelmatinae), with descriptions of three new species and an illustrated identification key
Authors: Reshchikov Alexey V. 
Published: October 2016

The genus Rhinotorus Förster, 1869 is revised. Thirteen species are recognized including 3 species that are new to science (R. jussilai sp. nov., R. campester sp. nov., R. tarsilatus sp. nov.). Saotis brachycerus (Kasparyan & Kopelke, 2009) comb. nov. is considered to be a member of the genus Saotis. Rhinotorus similis (Brischke, 1892) is tentatively recorded from Austria and Sweden for the first time. A number of new host records are also provided: Cladius pectinicornis (Geoffroy, 1785) for R. leucostomus (Gravenhorst, 1829), Nematus lucidus (Panzer, 1801) for R. nasutus (Gravenhorst, 1829) and N. papillosus (Retzius, 1783) for R. jussilai sp. nov.
