Published: August 2017

RESUMO: Apresenta-se neste trabalho a solução adotada para execução das fundações do Parque de Usina Eólica localizado no Ceará, com a utilização das estacas injetadas autoperfurantes, executadas em presença de solos arenosos. No qual consiste em perfurar o solo com altíssima velocidade por rotação e “pull down”, através da injeção simultânea de nata de cimento com medias pressões. Ocasionando na estaca um diâmetro final que pode obter o dobro do bit de perfuração, de acordo com o tipo de solo, gerado pelo efeito do jato da nata de cimento. Detalhando os processos executivos, verificando os aspectos técnicos e operacionais, para melhor compreender as características estruturais deste elemento. De forma a verificar “in situ” o desempenho deste novo tipo de fundação profunda, foram realizadas provas de carga, em estacas com diferentes diâmetros e comprimentos, realizadas em perfis estratigráficos de solos arenosos, para melhor avaliação de sua capacidade de carga. Analisando-se os ensaios das provas de carga interpretados a base da extrapolação da curva carga versus recalque e das previsões da capacidade de carga, obtidas por meio dos métodos semi-empíricos de correlação com ensaios de penetração (SPT), avaliando os padrões de execução desta tipologia de estaca injetada para comunidade geotécnica. ABSTRACT: This paper aims to establish the selected solution to except the foundations of the Wind Energy Park in Ceará (Brazil), with an executive methodology of the self-drilling injection piles framed in loco in Sandy soil. In which the soil drilling is done with the highest speed by rotation and pull down, through the simultaneous injection of grouting with medium pressures. This kind of drilling causes in the pile a final diameter that can get the double bore bit, according to the type of soil, done by the grouting blast. The executive processes are detailed as a whole, and also presenting the pile materials composition, in order to understand the structural characteristics of this element. To verify the performance of this new kind of deep drilling, instrumentations were done: settlement control and load tests in constructions with different structural characteristics, in self-drilling injected piles with different diameters and length, done in stratigraphical sandy, for a better evaluation of its load capacity. Analyzing the essays of load tests interpreted in the basis of curve extrapolation load versus settlement and the previsions of the load capacity, obtained by semi-empirical methods correlating with the penetrations methods (SPT), offering information to the geotechnical community.

Abstract
Current genetically modified organism (GMO) detection methods allow for sensitive detection. However, a further increase in sensitivity will enable more efficient testing for large grain samples and reliable testing for processed foods. In this study, we investigated real-time PCR-based GMO detection methods using a large amount of DNA template. We selected target sequences that are commonly introduced into many kinds of GM crops, i.e., 35S promoter and nopaline synthase (NOS) terminator. This makes the newly developed method applicable to a wide range of GMOs, including some unauthorized ones. The estimated LOD of the new method was 0.005% of GM maize events; to the best of our knowledge, this method is the most sensitive among the GM maize detection methods for which the LOD was evaluated in terms of GMO content. A 10-fold increase in the DNA amount as compared with the amount used under common testing conditions gave an approximately 10-fold reduction in the LOD without PCR inhibition. Our method is applicable to various analytical samples, including processed foods. The use of other primers and fluorescence probes would permit highly sensitive detection of various recombinant DNA sequences besides the 35S promoter and NOS terminator.

A Simplified Method for Analyzing Water Impact in the Initial Stages on an Elastic Rectangle Plate
Authors: Sun Hua , Wang De-Yu 
Published: August 2017

For most flat-bottom marine structures, impact loads are generated by complex transient coupling effects of solid, air, and water. However, simplified forecasting methods to obtain impact loads and dynamic responses of flat-bottom structures by considering both hydroelastic and air cushion effects are rare. In this article, a new simplified analytical method of water impact on the elastic plate is proposed based on Verhagen's model for the rigid plate. The analysis is focused on the initial stage during which the highest hydrodynamic loads are generated. Interactions between the plate, the air, and the water are simulated and analyzed. Also, fluid-structure coupling results by simplified method are compared with numerical results from Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method in LS-DYNA code. Experimental results are used to validate the feasibility and accuracy of the simplified method. Water impact on plates with different drop heights, rigidities, and added mass is analyzed. The air cushion effect, elastic effect, and three-dimensional effect in the simplified model are also discussed.

1. Introduction
Over half a century, there has been more and more attention given to the phenomenon known as "slamming" which exists widely in both the natural environment and engineering application. As a complex transient process, slamming can be considered as a three-phase coupling model containing solid, liquid, and gas. Water entry problem is one of the most typical phenomena of slamming.
The problem of a rigid wedge entering water was studied in detail starting from the thirties of the last century. This study was motivated by the design of hydroplane landing on water. Von Karman (1929) first carried out an analytical study on water entry problem by potential theory. Considering the deformation of the water surface, Wagner (1932) extended the Von Karman model. In the following several decades, many complex models of water impact were developed by Wagner model (Hirano & Miura 1970; Armand & Cointe 1986; Cointe 1991). In addition, new models are proposed (Dobrovol' skaya 1969; Greenhow 1987; Howison et al. 1991; Muzaferija et al. 1997). More factors in the water impact problem were taken into consideration, including gravity (Greenhow 1987), liquid viscosity (Muzaferija et al. 1998), liquid compressibility (Korobkin 1996; Korobkin 1997; Campana et al. 1998), and so on.

This paper reports the experimental study of destruction kinetics of oil hydrocarbons (engine oil of the M8 trademark) dissolved in water by dielectric barrier discharge in oxygen at the atmospheric pressure. The range of initial concentrations of oil in the aqueous solution was (12- 91) mg/l. All experiments were carried out under the applied voltage of 7.9 kV and discharge current of 0.45 mA (rms values) with a frequency of 50 Hz. The inputted power was 0.35 W/cm3. The gas flow rate was 1 l/min. It was shown that the kinetics of oil decomposition can be formally described by the pseudo-first order law on oil concentration. The effective rate constant for decomposition of petroleum products was 0.0016 s-1. The rate of destruction in the investigated concentration range of M8 was varied in the range (3.8 - 28.9) · 10-6 mol / (l·min). The oil decomposition degree achieved 80 %, and the decomposition energetic yield was 0.16 molecules per 100 eV of inputted energy. The kinetics of the formation of ozone and carbon dioxide was examined as well. The obtained experimental data allowed to determine the degree of completeness of oil oxidation, which at the maximum was 54% (for carbon dioxide), this results indicates the formation of other carbon-containing compounds. The dynamics of the change in the pH of the treated solution is revealed. Under the experimental conditions, the pH was reduced from 6 to 4. It was found that the concentration of ozone formed in the reactor was deficiency for oil oxidative degradation. This results confirms that in the system are formed other active particles involved in the destruction of petroleum products, such as the OH* radicals and atomic oxygen. The possible mechanism of degradation processes is discussed.Forcitation:Grinevich V.I., Rybkin V.V., Lyubimov V.A., Gushchin A.A.

Translating instructive texts
Authors: Vandepitte Sonia 
Published: August 2017

Starting with Werlich (1982), many researchers within text linguistics and document design see instructive texts as a category that is different from persuasive texts. Others do not include either in their main typologies (e.g. Bonnet et al. 2001). This paper will claim, however, that instructions are a particular subtype of persuasive texts: instructing people is also persuading them to do something in a particular way or in a particular situation or in a particular order. Consequently, all features characteristic of persuasion (e.g. Aristotle 4th c. BC, Bettinghaus 1968, Dacheux 1994, Whalen 1996) also appear in instructive texts. Drawing from a learner corpus of materials used in the Trans-Atlantic Tech Writing / Translation Project (Maylath et al., 2005, in press), in which Flemish students translate English instructive texts written by American students into Dutch, the paper will discuss the problems involved in the translation of two relevant persuasive characteristics of instructive texts: expertise and positive audience-orientation. For the former, attention will be paid to message form, structure and strategy, while the latter will lead to considerations of both individual interpretation differences and cultural differences.

Distribution and biological implications of plastic pollution on the fringing reef of Mo’orea, French Polynesia
Authors: Connors Elizabeth J. 
Published: August 2017

Coral reef ecosystems of the South Pacific are extremely vulnerable to plastic pollution from oceanic gyres and land-based sources. To describe the extent and impact of plastic pollution, the distribution of both macro- (>5 mm) and microplastic (plastic < 5 mm) of the fringing reef of an isolated South Pacific island, Mo’orea, French Polynesia was quantified. Macroplastic was found on every beach on the island that was surveyed. The distribution of this plastic was categorized by site type and by the presence of Turbinaria ornata, a common macroalgae on Mo’orea. Microplastics were discovered in the water column of the fringing reef of the island, at a concentration of 0.74 pieces m−2. Additionally, this study reports for the first time the ingestion of microplastic by the corallimorpha Discosoma nummiforme. Microplastics were made available to corallimorph polyps in a laboratory setting over the course of 108 h. Positively and negatively buoyant microplastics were ingested, and a microplastic particle that was not experimentally introduced was also discovered in the stomach cavity of one organism. This study indicates that plastic pollution has the potential to negatively impact coral reef ecosystems of the South Pacific, and warrants further study to explore the broader potential impacts of plastic pollution on coral reef ecosystems.

In the era of precision medicine, the tailoring of cancer treatment is increasingly important as we transition from organ‐based diagnosis towards a more comprehensive and patient‐centric molecular diagnosis. This is particularly the case for high‐grade serous adenocarcinomas of the ovary and peritoneum, which are commonly diagnosed at an advanced stage, and collectively treated and managed similarly. We characterized the N‐ and O‐glycome of serous ovarian (OC) and peritoneal cancer (PC) tissues using PGC‐LC‐ESI‐IT‐MS/MS profiling and validated the discriminatory glycans and their corresponding glyco‐gene expression levels using cell lines and transcriptomic data from 232 patients. Overall, the N‐ and O‐glycan repertoires of both cancer types were found to comprise mostly of α2,6‐sialylated glycan structures, with the majority of N‐glycans displaying the biantennary mono‐ and disialylation as well as bisecting‐type biantennary glycans. The MS profiling by PGC‐LC also revealed several glycan structural isomers that corresponded to LacdiNAc‐type (GalNAcβ1‐4GlcNAc) motifs that were unique to the serous ovarian cancers and that correlated with elevated gene expression of B4GALNT3 and B4GALNT4 in patients with serous cancer. Statistical evaluation of the discriminatory glycans also revealed 13 N‐ and 3 O‐glycans (P < 0.05) that significantly discriminated tumour‐sampling sites, with LacdiNAc‐type N‐glycans (m/z 1205.02− and m/z 1059.42−) being associated with ovarian‐derived cancer tissue and bisecting GlcNAc‐type (m/z 994.92−) and branched N‐glycans (m/z 1294.02− and m/z 1148.42−) upregulated at the metastatic sites. Hence, we demonstrate for the first time that OC and PC display distinct molecular signatures at both their glycomic and transcriptomic levels. These signatures may have potential utility for the development of accurate diagnosis and personalized treatments.
The East Asian Atmospheric Water Cycle and Monsoon Circulation in the Met Office Unified Model
Authors: Rodríguez José M. , Milton Sean F. , Marzin Charline 
Published: August 2017

AbstractIn this study the low‐level monsoon circulation and observed sources of moisture responsible for the maintenance and seasonal evolution of the East Asian monsoon are examined, studying the detailed water budget components. These observational estimates are contrasted with the Met Office Unified Model (MetUM) climate simulation performance in capturing the circulation and water cycle at a variety of model horizontal resolutions and in fully coupled ocean‐atmosphere simulations. We study the role of large‐scale circulation in determining the hydrological cycle by analyzing key systematic errors in the model simulations. MetUM climate simulations exhibit robust circulation errors, including a weakening of the summer west Pacific Subtropical High, which leads to an underestimation of the southwesterly monsoon flow over the region. Precipitation and implied diabatic heating biases in the South Asian monsoon and Maritime Continent region are shown, via nudging sensitivity experiments, to have an impact on the East Asian monsoon circulation. By inference, the improvement of these tropical biases with increased model horizontal resolution is hypothesized to be a factor in improvements seen over East Asia with increased resolution. Results from the annual cycle of the hydrological budget components in five domains show a good agreement between MetUM simulations and ERA‐Interim reanalysis in northern and Tibetan domains. In simulations, the contribution from moisture convergence is larger than in reanalysis, and they display less precipitation recycling over land. The errors are closely linked to monsoon circulation biases.
Significant lateral dip changes may have limited the scale of the 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake

Published: August 2017

AbstractThe 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake has drawn interest due to its complex fault geometry. Both geodetic and geologic studies have focused on the dip variations. In this study we invert the coseismic geodetic data for the 2‐D dip variations of the earthquake. The best fit model confirms that the dip varies with depth, and suggests that there is a significant lateral dip anomaly along strike. The depth‐dependent dip variation suggests that the earthquake ruptured a ramp‐flat fault. The shallow ramp may have prevented the rupture breaking through the surface. In addition, a lateral large‐dip anomaly is found in the northeastern corner of the slip area, which supports the previous findings of inferred interseismic fault coupling, coseismic high‐frequency radiations, and the aftershock mechanisms. This lateral dip anomaly is likely associated with local tearing within the Indian slab. It may have blocked the east‐southeastward rupture propagations of the Gorkha earthquake, implying important controls on the earthquake scale and the spatial limits of ruptures.
Dynamics of the inner core wobble under mantle‐inner core gravitational interactions
Authors: Chao Benjamin F. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractWe investigate the dynamics of the inner core wobble (ICW), the Euler‐Liouville wobbling motion of the Earth's solid inner core, under the mantle‐inner core gravitational (MICG) torques within the Earth. Chao (2016) derived the full 3‐D equation of motion for the MICG dynamics in terms of the spherical‐harmonic multipoles of mass density and focused on the axial component for inner core's torsional libration. Here aiming for the ICW, we deduce the 2‐D equatorial component of the MICG torque owing to the oblateness of the mantle and the inner core. The period of the free Eulerian wobble of a hypothetical isolated rigid inner core would be a prograde +414 days. The action of the added MICG equatorial torque is found to be (negatively) strong enough to render the wobbling motion to become retrograde (with a negative frequency), which is further but slightly modified by the elastic yielding feedback of the inner core. Imposing yet further the passive effect of the hydrostatic pressure due to the fluid outer core greatly lengthens the natural period to become decadal. The final estimate of the ICW natural period in accordance with the (seismological) PREM Earth model is a retrograde PICW ≈ −15.6 years, in contrast to a prograde +6.6 years supposed in the literature. The corresponding spring constant (per radian of wobble) is 5.5 × 1022 N m. Our results instigate likely identification of the ICW with decadal wobbles observed in the Earth's polar motion.
