A Deluxe FETI-DP Preconditioner for a Composite Finite Element and DG Method
Authors: Dryja Maksymilian , Galvis Juan , Sarkis Marcus 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
In this paper, we present and analyze a FETI-DP
solver with deluxe scaling for a Nitsche-type discretization
[Comput. Methods Appl. Math. 3 (2003), 76–85],
[SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 49 (2011), 1761–1787] based on a
discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for elliptic two-dimensional problems
with discontinuous coefficients and non-matching meshes only across
subdomains. We establish a condition number estimate for
the preconditioned linear system which is scalable with respect to the number of subdomains, is quasi-optimal polylogarithmic with respect to subdomain
mesh size, and is independent of coefficient discontinuities
and ratio of mesh sizes across subdomain
interfaces. Numerical experiments support the theory and show that the deluxe
scaling improves significantly the performance over classical scaling.
Poeta fui. Dante und Vergil
Authors: Full Bettina , Westerwelle Karin 
Published: September 2015

Riassunto
È Virgilio ad aprire la serie di incontri con autori, soprattutto latini ed italiani, che ha luogo nella Commedia - Virgilio, che come »poeta« e »maestro« salva Dante, personaggio ed autore, dal suo smarrimento nella selva. Contro lo svanire della fama terrena si afferma, nell’agire e nel parlare dei due protagonisti, una genealogia letteraria che diviene tangibile tanto nella figura dell’antico poeta - lo evidenziano anche le miniature dei manoscritti - quanto nel valore intrinseco di un linguaggio figurativo che si trova in concorrenza con l’allegoria teologica. Sulle tracce del sottile rimando al (peccaminoso) piacere visivo che può derivare dal pelo maculato della lonza, della trasformazione stilnovistica di Virgilio, ma anche del confronto tra arte divina ed arte umana questo saggio ripercorre la riflessione di Dante su metafora e immagine come si manifesta nel rapporto con Virgilio.
Novel 2D CRLH TL and Its ZOR and FOR Applied on Dual-Band Omnidirectional Radiation Antenna

Published: September 2015

AbstractA new type of two-dimensional (2D) composite right/left-handed transmission lines (CRLH TL) which is composed of four one-dimensional (1D) CRLH TL is proposed in this letter. Each 1D CRLH TL consists of three metallic vias added for shunt inductance and an etched patch slot for series capacitance. Based on this structure, an antenna operating on zeroth-order resonance (ZOR) and first-order resonance (FOR) is designed and fabricated. By taking advantage of coaxially center feed and symmetric structure, a well omnidirectional radiation in XoY plane both in ZOR and FOR and a homogeneously suppressed cross-polarization is obtained. Also, the antenna has a gain value of 2.06 dB in ZOR
Neurogenic speech sequelae following suicide attempt by hanging: a case report
Authors: Wazeer Manal Muhammed , John Sunila , Rajashekhar Bellur 
Published: September 2015

Abstract

Background:
Attempting suicide by hanging has become one of the most preferred means among adolescents. Individuals who survive a suicide attempt by hanging have a range of deficits, including neuropsychological, neuropsychiatric, pulmonary and even speech and language deficits. Literature regarding speech and language deficits in cases of near hanging is especially limited.

Objective:
This study aimed to demonstrate the sequelae of neurogenic speech deficits following a suicide attempt by hanging, the treatment strategies, and prognostic issues in one such case.

Methods:
We report of Patient X who attempted suicide by hanging. The patient was admitted and a detailed speech and language evaluation was completed.

Results:
Patient X was diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy with organic amnesic syndrome. Consequent to the neurogenic insult, the patient demonstrated speech deficits that were characterized by moderate flaccid dysarthria and neurogenic stuttering. Patient X underwent a week of treatment, subsequent to which there was an improvement in certain speech subsystems. However, the neurogenic stuttering symptoms did not resolve completely even post therapy.

Conclusion:
Individuals who survive a suicide attempt by hanging have a range of deficits, including speech deficits that need to be addressed by a speech language pathologist. This case report is an eye opener for speech language pathologists regarding their role in such cases.
Super-mesenteric-vein-expia-thrombosis, the clinical sequelae can be quite atrocious
Authors: Lole Harris Benjamin Howell , Walsh Jason Leo , Nazir Sarfraz A. 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis is a rare, potentially life-threatening complication of intra-abdominal infection. Here we present a case of massive SMV thrombosis secondary to appendicitis in a 13-year-old boy. He presented with vague abdominal pain and associated symptoms, persistently elevated serum inflammatory markers and a pyrexia of unknown origin. Sonography proved inconclusive, and a definitive diagnosis was made by abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography. He was treated with antibiotics and anticoagulation before interval elective laparoscopic appendectomy. The non-specific nature of the presenting symptoms makes SMV thrombosis an important differential to consider when dealing with such patients.

AbstractBackground:Dental caries affects quality of life and has a negative impact on daily performance.Objective:The study was conducted to assess the impact of oral health and its associated factors in schoolchildren in the age group 12–15 years in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in schoolchildren in the age group 12–15 years. Sociodemographic and oral health related behaviors of schoolchildren were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Child oral impact on daily performance (OIDP) questionnaire was used to assess the oral impacts. Oral examination was performed to check the presence of caries using decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index.Results:A total of 690 schoolchildren participated in the survey. The mean age of the children was 13.58 years. The overall prevalence of dental caries was found to be 47.2%. The prevalence of one or more impact in the study population was 36.5%. The most prevalent impact was difficulty in eating and cleaning of teeth and the least prevalent impact were emotion and studying. Results of logistic regression analysis showed that the type of school that a child goes to, socioeconomic status, material used, dental visit, and dental caries were significantly associated with the Child-OIDP affected score.Conclusion:Oral health had a significant effect on the quality of life of schoolchildren. The prevalence of dental caries was found to be high. Effective policies need to be drafted for oral health promotion in this age group.
Postnatal testosterone may be an important mediator of the association between prematurity and male neurodevelopmental disorders: a hypothesis
Authors: Rice Timothy R. 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Children born premature are at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and schizophrenia. This piece advances the hypothesis that altered androgen exposure observed in premature infants is an important mediator of the neurodevelopmental risk in males associated with prematurity. Specifically, the alterations of normative physiologic postnatal activations of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis that occur in preterm males are hypothesized to contribute to the risk of neuropsychiatric pathology of prematurity through altered androgen-mediated organizational effects on the developing brain. The physiology of testosterone and male central nervous system development in full-term births is reviewed and compared to the developmental processes of prematurity. The effects of the altered testosterone physiology observed within prematurity outside of the central nervous system are reviewed as a segue into a discussion of the effects within the nervous system, with a special focus on autism spectrum disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The explanatory power of this model is reviewed as a supplement to the preexisting models of prematurity and neurodevelopmental risk, including infection and other perinatal central nervous system insults. The emphasis is placed on altered androgen exposure as serving as just one among many mediators of neurodevelopmental risk that may be of interest for further research and evidence-based investigation. Implications for diagnosis, management and preventative treatments conclude the piece.

AbstractThis study is designed to evaluate predictive value of first-trimester cystatin C levels for long-term pregnancy complications.The cross-sectional study population consisted of patients who admitted to outpatient clinic of a Maternity Hospital between September 2013 and December 2014. Among the 203 participants who accepted to participate in the study, 174 subjects who continued antenatal follow-up in the same clinic were included in the final analyses. Cystatin C, blood urea nitrogen, Creatinine levels and estimated glomerular filtration rates were evaluated in the first-trimester routine antenatal visit. Mode of delivery and gestational complications were noted.First-trimester cystatin C levels were significantly higher in cases complicated with preterm delivery and premature rupture of membrane (PROM) compared to uncomplicated ones (0.58±0.07 vs. 0.55±0.07, P=0.041, and 0.58±0.07 vs. 0.55±0.07, P=0.036). With a cutoff value of 0.505 mg/L, sensitivity of cystatin C for preterm delivery and PROM was 91.9% and specificity was 27.7% with a negative predictive value of 92.3% and a positive predictive value of 26.6%.Detection of cystatin C levels in the first trimester of pregnancy for the prediction of preterm/PROM seems as a promising preliminary data. The relatively higher first-trimester cystatin C levels in complicated pregnancies are conspicuous. The results imply that in pregnancy cystatin C might be more than a marker for renal function.
Access and Investment in the ICT Sector for Developing Countries
Authors: Kathuria Vikas 
Published: September 2015

AbstractThe Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector is characterized by rapid changes in technology. The innovation in the ICT has shown its benefits in not only facilitating better communications, but also in fostering development. Therefore, ensuring proper incentives to the private sector for innovation or diffusion of technology is crucial. However, incentivizing the private players may be challenging in developing countries, where majority of the population requires cheap access. Thus, this paper analyses the extent to which developing countries can ensure incentivizing the providers of technology, without failing on their commitment to provide cheap access to the poor. The paper analyses Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) and Universal Service Obligation (USO) and suggests ways to ensure adequate investment without jeopardizing access. The framework chosen in this paper is to see the changing treatment of LLU and USO in mature jurisdictions, and then analyze the viability of these policies in the socio-economic settings of developing countries. The framework also takes note of changes in the ICT technology.

AbstractThe photoconductive, photorefractive and nonlinear optical properties of composites from polyvinylcarbazole or aromatic polyimide containing supramolecular ensembles of (tetra-15-crown-5) - phthalocyaninato gallium, indium, - phthalocyaninateacetato yttrium, - phthalocyaninato ruthenium with axially coordinated pyrazine molecules were investigated at 633, 1030 and 1064nmusing continuous and pulsed lasers. Supramolecular ensembles (SE) were prepared through dissolution of molecular metallophthalocyanines in tetrachloroethane (TCE) and subsequent treatment via three cycles of heating to 90∘C and slow cooling to room temperature. The zscan method in femtosecond and nanosecond regimeswas used for measuring nonlinear optical properties phthalocyaninato indium and yttrium in TCE solutions and polymer films. It was established that effect of heavy metallic atom is basic factor which determines the quantum yield, photorefractive amplification of laser object beam, dielectric susceptibility of third order and nonlinear optical properties of metallophthalocyanines.
Research in the Field of Organic Photovoltaics at the Institute for Problems of Chemical Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences
Authors: Troshin Pavel A. 
Published: September 2015

AbstractIn the present review we highlight the main research activities in the field of organic photonics and photovoltaics at the Institute for Problems of Chemical Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences (IPCP RAS). Extensive investigation of optical and electrical properties of π-conjugated organic compounds performed at IPCP RAS since 1960’s resulted in design of many exciting materials representing organic semiconductors, metals and superconductors. Organic Schottky barrier and p/n junction photovoltaic devices constructed at IPCP RAS in 1960’s and 1970’s were among the first examples of reasonably efficient organic solar cells at that time. These early discoveries inspired younger generations of the researchers to continue the work of their mentors and explore the world of organic materials and photonic devices such as molecular photonic switches, organic light emitting diodes, solar cells, photodetectors, photoswitchable organic field-effect transistors and memory elements.
Other-initiated repair in Cha’palaa
Authors: Floyd Simeon 
Published: September 2015

AbstractThis article describes the interactional patterns and linguistic structures associated with otherinitiated repair, as observed in a corpus of video-recorded conversation in the Cha’palaa (a Barbacoan language spoken in north-western Ecuador). Special attention is given to the relation of repair formats to the morphosyntactic and intonational systems of the language. It examines the distinctive falling intonation observed with interjections and content question formats and the pattern of a held mid-high tone observed in polarity questions, as well as the function of Cha’palaa grammatical features such as the case marking system, the nominal classifiers and the verb classification system as formats for repair initiation. It considers a selection of examples from a video corpus to illustrate a broad range of sequence types of opened and restricted other-initiated repair, noting that Cha’palaa had the highest relative rate of open repair in the cross-linguistic sample. It also considers the extension of OIR to other practices such as news uptake and disagreement in the Cha’palaa corpus.
Optimization of the Verbal Inflectional Paradigm by the Cyclic Application of Morphophonological Processes: Evidence from Potential Forms in Japanese
Authors: Sano Shin-ichiro 
Published: September 2015

AbstractIn Japanese, a series of morphophonological changes that reorganizes the verbal inflectional paradigms is currently underway. The changes in potential forms involve two innovative processes: ar-Deletion and re-Insertion. This paper analyzes these morphophonological changes in the Japanese potential forms, and models the mechanism that governs the sequential changes, using the Corpus of Spontaneous Japanese. By positing a chronological order between the changes, I argue that the initial change in consonant-final verbs is motivated by semantic disambiguation, and the subsequent change in vowel-final verbs is triggered by analogical leveling for the optimization of the conjugation paradigm. This analogical leveling reorganizes the paradigm in order to counter the increased discrepancy between potential forms of consonant-final verbs and vowel-final verbs caused by the previous change. I propose that positing this two-step process is crucial to understanding the diachronic changes at issue.
United States Arms Transfer Decision-Making: Determinants of Sales versus Aid
Authors: Johnson Richard A.I. 
Published: September 2015

AbstractThis article examines the determinants of United States arms transfers by examining military aid separate from military sales. Separation of the two types of transfers is necessary due to the different benefits the United States receives from the transfers. Sales create direct economic benefits while aid is economically costly. The results show that some political, strategic, and economic factors have differing effects on the type of transfer and its size.
Graphene/poly(vinylidene fluoride) dielectric composites with polydopamine as interface layers
Authors: Li Hairong , Xu Chenglong , Chen Zongyi , Jiang Ming , Xiong Chuanxi 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
A poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanocomposite incorporated with polydopamine-coated reduced graphene oxide (rGO@PDOPA) nanosheets has been developed with high dielectric permittivity and low loss for electricity storage applications. Structural analysis indicates that PDOPA was successfully anchored onto rGOs through non-covalent linkage under mild conditions. The presence of PDOPA layer between rGO and PVDF can not only prevent the agglomeration and direct contact of original rGOs but also enhance the interaction between PVDF and rGO and microcapacitor formation. Compared to rGO/PVDF composites, higher dielectric permittivity and lower loss factor were achieved simultaneously in rGO@PDOPA/PVDF nanocomposites at low and moderate frequencies. The PDOPA interface layers are effective in modifying the dielectric characteristics of the composites to increase the dielectric permittivity without the introduction of loss mechanisms. This study demonstrates that PDOPA is an ideal interface layer for the development of new percolative dielectric composites with high dielectric permittivity and low loss.
Series of Nine Cases of Axial Displacement of Distal Tibial and/or Fibular Shafts from Aircraft Crashes with Proposal of Potential Mechanisms
Authors: Richey Stephen L. , Richeý Katrina 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Previously, a pair of aircraft crash fatalities was reported by Byard and Tsokos involving extreme trauma to the lower legs with avulsion of the musculature and extrusion of the distal tibial shaft through the inferior aspect of the feet and shoes. This report was important to both the forensics and the injury prevention fields because it demonstrates a finding that may help to indicate not only the severity and nature/direction of an impact but also the position of the extremities at the time of collision with the terrain. Thus, here are reported an additional nine cases out of a larger series of 1182 aircraft fatalities (0.7%) with similar findings and discuss the biomechanical origins of such injuries.

Published: September 2015

Zusammenfassung
Ein von Sensoren zunehmend gefordertes Merkmal ist deren Fähigkeit zur
Selbstüberwachung. Die besonderen Herausforderungen
bei der Realisierung dieser Forderung sind die Identifikation geeigneter
Parameter zur Charakterisierung des Sensorzustands während des Betriebes
sowie die wertmäßige Bestimmung dieser
Parameter. Dementsprechend gering ist heute immer noch
die Anzahl der mit Selbstüberwachungsfunktionen ausgestatteten
Sensoren.
In diesem Beitrag werden Möglichkeiten zur Selbstüberwachung von
Thermoelement-Sensoren im eingebauten
(Betriebs-)Zustand untersucht.
Ausgehend von der Modellierung des Sensorelementes und dessen Ankopplung an
den Messprozess mit Methoden der Thermodynamik irreversibler Prozesse wird
exemplarisch anhand eines geeignet ausgewählten Modellparameters ein
neuartiges Verfahren zur Selbstüberwachung von Thermoelementen
vorgestellt. Die Anwendung der Selbstüberwachung von
Thermoelementen wird hier mit Hinblick auf deren Verschmutzung im Betrieb im
Detail dargestellt. Danach werden auch andere
mögliche Ursachen für die Beeinflussung des Wertes des für die
Selbstüberwachung ausgewählten Modellparameters sowie dadurch
vergrößerte Messabweichungen diskutiert.
