Electrical power generation with PEM FC using hydrogen supply through Mg-Ni reaction with water
Authors: Girdzevičius Dalius , Milčius Darius 
Published: July 2016

Hydrogen is considered an energy vector of the future because of its potential use for clean energy generation. Portable electronic devices can be powered when hydrogen is supplied to fuel cells. In order to avoid massive equipment for hydrogen storage, direct hydrogen production can be achieved on-site during the reaction between metals/metal alloys/metal hydrides and water. Magnesium hydride offers great perspective for widespread applications as its weight yield of hydrogen reaches 6.4% according to the reaction with water and it can even increase to 15.2% if water produced in the fuel cell is used in the reaction again. In the present work, Mg powder with the content of Ni was synthesized under low temperature hydrogen plasma conditions changing the DC magnetron current from 0.5 to 1 A. As pure Mg powder was immersed into hydrogen plasma, the simultaneous hydrogenation process was ensured. Nickel was chosen as a catalyst capable to influence the growth of hydride. The process of electric power generation was investigated when reaction between modified Mg powder and water was applied to laboratory-built equipment consisting of a reactor for hydrogen production, gas dryer before H2 introduction to the fuel cell, fuel cell, load and energy meter. Solutions of acetic acid and sodium chloride were used as promoters during powder-water reactions. The characterisation of predicted magnesium hydride powder was done using scanning electron microscopy, electron dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. XRD analysis showed only Mg, MgO and Ni peaks indicating that hydrogen generation during powder-water reaction was evoked because of microgalvanic corrosion at Mg-Ni intersections.
Short-term wind speed forecasting using ARIMA model
Authors: Grigonytė Ernesta , Butkevičiūtė Eglė 
Published: July 2016

The massive integration of wind power into the power system increasingly calls for better short-term wind speed forecasting which helps transmission system operators to balance the power systems with less reserve capacities. The time series analysis methods are often used to analyze the wind speed variability. The time series are defined as a sequence of observations ordered in time. Statistical methods described in this paper are based on the prediction of future wind speed data depending on the historical observations. This allows us to find a sufficiently good model for the wind speed prediction. The paper addresses a short-term wind speed forecasting ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) model. This method was applied for a number of different prediction problems, including the short term wind speed forecasts. It is seen as an early time series methodology with well-known limitations in wind speed forecasting, mainly because of insufficient accuracies of the hourly forecasts for the second half of the day-ahead forecasting period. The authors attempt to find the maximum effectiveness of the model aiming to find: (1) how the identification of the optimal model structure improves the forecasting results and (2) what accuracy increase can be gained by reidentification of the structure for a new wind weather season. Both historical and synthetic wind speed data representing the sample locality in the Baltic region were used to run the model. The model structure is defined by rows p, d, q and length of retrospective data period. The structure parameters p (Autoregressive component, AR) and q (Moving Average component, MA) were determined by the Partial Auto-Correlation Function (PACF) and Auto-Correlation Function (ACF), respectively. The model’s forecasting accuracy is based on the root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and mean absolute error (MAE). The results allowed to establish the optimal model structure and the length of the input/retrospective period. The quantitative study revealed that identification of the optimal model structure gives significant accuracy improvement against casual structures for 6–8 h forecast lead time, but a season-specific structure is not appropriate for the entire year period. Based on the conducted calculations, we propose to couple the ARIMA model with any more effective method into a hybrid model.
Experimental analysis of vertical axis wind turbine active pitch control system with Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor using MATLAB Simulink tools
Authors: Komass Tomas 
Published: July 2016

Efficient vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) technology is a key topic for the future wind energy market. At the moment, VAWTs are seldom used for electricity production. The development of new technologies for building a new generation of VAWTs, which will be more efficient, user-friendly, and with very low noise pollution levels is the target for many researchers. The goal of this research was to analyse an active pitch control system in an experimental setting through construction of an active pitch control system test bench using a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) and to develop new testing programmes for analytical system performance tests. The current commercial turbines do not carry an active pitch system for a VAWT; however, the concept of an active turbine blade pitching opens new opportunities for boosting the efficiency, safety, and user-friendliness of VAWTs. The research consists of the mathematical model and control system operating in a simulation environment in a closed loop with the test bench setup consisting of an active pitch control system. By applying a specially developed VAWT simulation model implemented in MATLAB Simulink, an active pitch system was tested and analysed under various conditions, which were as close as possible to the real-world operating conditions. The results of the testing and analysis show that an active pitch system using the PMSM can be very efficient and fast-operating. An active pitch system is able to work on the needed conditions by using the PMSM. Analysis shows that while using the PMSM for a turbine active pitch system, certain conditions should be taken into account in order to achieve the best results and to reduce costs. Full and effective use of active pitch system components can improve VAWT performance.
Pecularities of the lithology and fauna of the early Katian (Ordovician) in the Lithuanian facies zone
Authors: Paškevičius Juozas 
Published: July 2016

The lithology and fauna on the south-eastern slope of the Middle Lithuanian Depression within the Lithuanian facies zone (belt) is discussed in the present paper. The study material consists of core from two deep drill-holes: Taučionys-49 and Drūkšiai-6 (Kazimirovo). As a result Drūkšiai, Dysna, Jakšiai, Paekna and Kaimynai formations from the Oandu and Nabala regional stages have been distinguished in the studied lithostratigraphy. The biostratigraphy of described formations is based on the description of brachiopods, trilobites and ostracodes. A stratigraphic gap distinguished in the Estonian Oandu Regional Stage in the stratotype section is completed by the continuous parastratotypic section of the Lithuanian Pajavonys-13 well. It is shown that the attribution by Sidaravičienė (1996) of Paekna, Kaimynai, and Dobilynė formations in the Drūkšiai area to the Vormsi Regional Stage should be corrected. Only the Dobilynė Regional Stage should be left in this regional stage. The study presents new correlation between Middle Lithuanian and Livonian facies (belt) zones. The Drūkšiai–Paekna and the Kaimynai formations are respectively correlated with the clingani and linearis graptolite zones. A new species of brachiopods – Thaerodonta notabile Pašk. sp. nov. – is described.

Abstract
III–V/Si hybrid integration with direct bonding is an attractive method of realizing an electrophotonic convergence router with a small size and a low power consumption. Plasma-activated bonding (PAB) is an effective approach for reducing thermal stress during the bonding process because PAB achieves a high bonding strength with low-temperature annealing. This time, the fabrication of a GaInAsP/silicon-on-insulator (SOI) hybrid laser with Si ring-resonator-type reflectors was demonstrated by N2 PAB. By measuring the lasing spectra, we confirmed the reflective characteristics resulting from the cascaded Si ring resonators. We also investigated kink characteristics, which occur around the threshold current, of the current–light output (I–L) characteristics, and successfully approximated the kink characteristics by considering saturable absorption occurring at the III–V/Si taper tip. The taper structure was investigated in terms of a passive device as well as an active device, and a structure for eliminating saturable absorption was proposed.
First-principles study of locally disordered structures of Mn-induced GaAs(001)-(2 × 2) surface
Authors: Akaishi Akira , Funatsuki Kenta , Ohtake Akihiro , Nakamura Jun 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Various atomic arrangements of the Mn-induced GaAs(001) surface, consisting of one Ga–As dimer and one Mn atom in the (2 × 2) unit, have been investigated by first-principles calculations. The most stable arrangement is reasonable in view of the classical electrostatic theory. It has been revealed that the topmost Ga–As dimers tend to be aligned along the

direction, while they are less ordered along the [110] direction. These anisotropic orderings, that is, anisotropic interactions, imply that the Mn atom, which is located between the Ga–As dimers, enhances the local electrostatic interaction between the dimers along the

direction, as a result of the dielectric anisotropy at the surface.

Abstract
We developed a spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) using a visible broadband light source (vis-OCT) for application to high-resolution and nondestructive profile measurement and imaging in semiconductor optical-device fabrication. By using visible broadband light centered at 625 nm and with spectral bandwidth of 260 nm, an axial resolution of 0.69 µm in air was obtained. This was effective for inspection of a transparent photoresist film with thickness of 1–2 µm coated on a semiconductor wafer; the interface between the photoresist film and its substrate and the interface between the photoresist and air were resolved, and the film thickness was measured. In addition, the interface between an opaque epitaxially grown semiconductor layer (Al0.35Ga0.65As) and a GaAs substrate was also detected by vis-OCT. Here we propose a thickness-measurement technique that combines finite-difference time-domain simulation with vis-OCT. This method enables us to determine the thickness of even an optically absorbent epitaxial layer and offers a profile-measurement method that is particularly suitable for the fabrication of semiconductor optical devices.
V. Streit um Anwaltskosten in der frühen Neuzeit
Authors: Oestmann Peter

Abstract
Argument about legal fees in the early modern period. Part 2: jurisdiction and types of procedure. Part II of this investigation, following ZRG GA 132 (2015), pp. 152-218, describes the practice of the courts. What were the possibilities for procurators to sue for their fees if the parties did not pay them? Most aspects of procedural law were quite unknown until now: The Rescripts of the Aulic Council and the Mandata de solvendo of the Wismar Tribunal were complete different ways for the procurators to get their fees. Not surprisingly, the Wismar procedures seem the more powerful and effective ones, enabling the administrative and jurisdictional organization of the Swedish territory to sue in a promising way. On the other hand, the procedures at the Imperial courts show, up to the end of the Old Empire in the summer of 1806, the typical weakness, even if some effective bureaucracy can be observed.
Zwischen dem spanisch-amerikanischen kolonialen Recht und dem des Nationalstaats in Argentinien (16.–20. Jahrhundert)

Abstract
Inbetween the Spanish-American colonial law and the law of the national state of Argentina (16th to 20th century). The article provides an overview on nearly six decades of investigation on Latin-American traditions in legal history. It serves two purposes: At first, to understand derecho indiano, its connections with local urban milieus and governments and royal acts, in short a world of casuismo. Secondly, to explain the later history and the fundamental change of this legal culture since the 19th century.
Bona fides presumitur in classical Canon Law
Authors: Dondorp Harry 
Published: July 2016

AbstractIn 1215, the Fourth Lateran Council settled a controversy between theologians and jurists with regard to the duty to make restitution. This moral duty was not always recognized at law because of the limitation of claims, which the jurists derived from Roman Law (C. 7.39.3) and which they termed as longissimi temporis praescriptio. Hence, correcting a statute that cannot be observed without peril to one’ soul, the council required that the person who prescribes, must not know at any time that the object belongs to someone else. The effect in legal practice may have been minor, for the canonists presumed the possessor’s ignorance after thirty years of uncontested possession. It was to the other party, the claimant, to disprove this presumption. Even if, by exception, there was a presumption to the contrary, the defendant invoking prescription could avoid proving his good faith by oath, for the presumtion then derived from the combination of the lapse of time and a proper cause (titulus) of his possession

Alternative Interpretationen zur celsinischen Durchgangstheorie
Authors: Bessenyő Andreas 
Published: July 2016

AbstractAlternative interpretations of a discussed Celsinian response on Durchgangserwerb. In the basic text, D. 24,1,3,12-13, Ulpian reports a famous response of Celsus concerning the prohibition of donations between husband and wife which is ambiguous, enigmatic, almost incomprehensible. Julian and his disciple, African, hold a contrary view in D. 46,3,38,1. The author critically reviews the main explanations proposed since the time of the Glossators up to now, and sets out a thouroughly new idea: Celsus may have taken into account the widespread bookkeeping usages of the Roman householders. By Justinian’s time, this practice was out of use and almost forgotten, therefore deleted by the compilers.
Letztwillige Verfügungen in griechischer Sprache bei Q. C. Scaevola, Paulus und Modestinus
Authors: Häusler Adrian 
Published: July 2016

AbstractLast Wills in Greek Terms in the Works of Q.C. Scaevola, Paulus and Modestinus. Several responsa from the writings of Q.C. Scaevola, Paulus and Modestinus report trust dispositions in Greek terms. These last wills appear before the constitutio Antoniniana and possibly after the decree de Graecis litteris (224-235 AD) of Alexander Severus. The content of these trusts was often highlighted as evidence for the contrast, in the provincial practice, between local peregrine laws or customs and the classical Roman law. However, the analysis of these Greek provisions implies that non-Roman legal institutions are quite scarce. The attention of the jurists is therefore primarily related to the challenge of bilingual legal communication and the ordinary need to interpret testamentary dispositions.
Die Bedeutung von leges publicae im Römischen Recht: Der Beitrag Mantovanis zur „legum multitudo“ und die Frage der Privatautonomie bei den Römern
Authors: Stagl Jakob Fortunat 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThe Importance of Leges Publicae for Roman Law. Mantovani’s Article on „Legum Multitudo and Private Law“ and the question of Party Autonomy amongst the Romans. It is a common opinion among scholars of Roman law that formal laws (leges publicae) had only scarce importance for Roman law. As Mantovani recently demonstrated, our perception of Roman law in this respect was manipulated by the compilers: The original texts knew much more references to leges publicae than we are aware of. This instance has important consequences for our assessment of party autonomy amongst the Romans.

The International Journal Of Alcohol And Drug Research, 5(2), 47-55. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7895/ijadr.v5i2.214A key issue in alcohol-related harm reduction is the impact of commercial and social availability on alcohol-related problems and harm among young people. The increasing density of alcohol outlets has been shown to be associated with harmful youth drinking behavior, although studies have produced mixed results, underlying the complexity of the situation.Aims: The present study was conducted to assess the relationship between density of alcohol outlets and drinking behaviors among vocational college students.Methods: A cross-sectional school-based survey was conducted among full-time students studying in vocational colleges in Phuket, Thailand. Multilevel regression models were used to assess the relationship between alcohol-outlet density and current and binge drinking, controlling for student and school characteristics.Results: A total of 3,363 students completed the self-reported questionnaire (response rate 66.7%). A significant association was found between alcohol-outlet density and binge drinking but not current drinking. Both current and binge drinking were associated with a positive attitude toward drinking, perception of peer and family drinking norms, and social availability of alcohol. For every increase in 10 on-premise alcohol outlets per square kilometer the risk of binge drinking increased by an average of 5%. Empirical evidence regarding this relationship is important to support law and policy movements towards further restriction of alcohol outlets and zoning of entertainment venues.

The International Journal Of Alcohol And Drug Research, 5(2), 57-64. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7895/ijadr.v5i2.217Aims: Social support is a predictor of alcohol and drug use. The Important People Drug and Alcohol (IPDA) interview and its predecessor, the Important People and Activities (IPA) measure, have been used to demonstrate this predictive relationship. The purpose of this study was to replicate the findings from Zywiak et al. (2009) in a sample of probationers with substance use disorders.Design: Analyses mirrored those done previously to replicate the associations between social networks and substance use. The IPDA was used to assess social networks before and after incarceration. Form-90 (Tonigan, Miller, & Brown, 1997) was used to measure substance use.Participants: Individuals were recruited from a local probation office. Information was collected from a sample of 50 male probationers with substance use disorders recently released from jail.Conclusions: Results showed that many of the previous findings from Zywiak et al. (2009) were similar to those found in the current study. This adds to the evidence that the IPDA is a promising measure of social networks and examining how those networks relate to substance use outcomes. The use of the IPDA may be beneficial for both research and clinical purposes, while evaluating individuals with alcohol and other drug use disorders.

The International Journal Of Alcohol And Drug Research, 5(2), 65-71. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7895/ijadr.v5i2.220Objective: Drinking-related problems are increasing among Asian immigrants despite the popular perceptions of a “model minority.” Sociocultural factors may relate to differing drinking patterns among subsets of Asian American populations. This study explores the relationship between nationality and alcohol consumption among Chinese and Korean Americans, specifically in regards to acculturation and social networks.Method: First-generation Chinese and Korean immigrants residing in the greater Los Angeles area were recruited (N= 2715). Structured interviews were conducted over the phone and by professional bilingual interviewers in the language of participant preference.Results: Although subsamples were demographically similar, Chinese immigrants were less likely to report heavy episodic drinking (HED) than Korean immigrants. Participants in each group with social networks composed of drinkers or problem drinkers and those that encouraged drinking were more likely to report HED themselves.Conclusions: Alcohol consumption and its dynamics are impacted by peer networks among first-generation Chinese and Koreans residing in the United States. While drinking behaviors differ for Chinese and Korean immigrants, the impact of peer’s drinking behaviors on one’s own drinking is paramount. This result has important implications for interventions and the need for further research focusing on the impact of peer interactions and alcohol use among this population.
