Seven minutes: A seven-minute lecture at the Clear Thoughts II - the future of Slovenian contemporary dance, Cofestival, Ljubljana, 30 May 2012
Authors: Živadinov Dragan 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
The author skims through the development of dance from the Renaissance to today and explains the gradual emancipation of dance from natural movement, movement of gender and from the state. In the twentieth-century, called by the author the anti-century because of the many revolutionary leaps associated with it, modern art appears, which frees dance of the ideology of dance. Modern dance is founded on anti-movement and thus stands up to ballet, which is under the thumb of the state and grounded in discipline. The dancer is becoming an individualist, while the state has moved its control mechanisms to the television, with which it tries to shape the collective body by way of popular dance on MTV. After WW II, when the influences of American abstract dance start entering Europe, contact dance and conceptual dance appear to finally emancipate dance from music by turning away from ballet.
An experiment with beginnings: Iztok Kova? and En-Knap
Authors: Leskovšek Nika 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
The article 'An Experiment With Beginnings: Iztok Kova? and En-Knap' ['Poskus z za?etki: Iztok Kova? in En-Knap'] explores chance as the central method of the dance group En-Knap, or EnKnapGroup, and it attempts to grasp the impact of the En-Knapian collective's dance on the spectator via diverse events and various theories. At the same time, it also takes into account the combinatorics of the group's dance organon, in order to get as close as possible to the principles that evade everyday logic. The attempt is reminiscent of the entrapment in paradox, which best defines the (movement) relations of the group or the insoluble conflicts, in which they are caught and which persist unrelentingly in their movement poetics. At the same time, in the topical again spirit of chance in contemporary performing arts and of contingency in political theory, they tell us a lot about our current situation.

For economic and social development of any country energy is one of the most essential requirements. Continuously increasing price of crude petroleum fuels in the present days coupled with alarming emissions and stringent emission regulations has led to growing attention towards use of alternative fuels like vegetable oils, alcoholic and gaseous fuels for diesel engine applications. Use of such fuels can ease the burden on the economy by curtailing the fuel imports. Diesel engines are highly efficient and the main problems associated with them is their high smoke and NOx emissions. Hence there is an urgent need to promote the use of alternative fuels in place of high speed diesel (HSD) as substitute. India has a large agriculture base that can be used as a feed stock to obtain newer fuel which is renewable and sustainable. Accordingly Uppage oil methyl ester (UOME) biodiesel was selected as an alternative fuel. Use of biodiesels in diesel engines fitted with mechanical fuel injection systems has limitation on the injector opening pressure (300 bar). CRDI system can overcome this drawback by injecting fuel at very high pressures (1500-2500 bar) and is most suitable for biodiesel fuels which are high viscous. This paper presents the performance and emission characteristics of a CRDI diesel engine fuelled with UOME biodiesel at different injection timings and injection pressures. From the experimental evidence it was revealed that UOME biodiesel yielded overall better performance with reduced emissions at retarded injection timing of -10° BTDC in CRDI mode of engine operation.

Published: March 2015

The energy generation in Albania is completely from the hydropower plants. In terms of GHG emissions this is 100% green. In Kosovo 97% of energy is generated from lignite fired power plants. Apart the energy generation, the combustion process emits around 8000 ktCO2/yr and 1.5 Mt of ash in the form of fly and bottom ash. In both countries there is no MWh power generated from wind energy, i.e. this energy source is not utilized. Here, a proposed project for five locations in Albania and Kosovo has been analyzed in detail with the aim of installing a 1kW wind turbine off-grid. The method of study is based on the application of RETScreen International program software. This proposed model is intended to replace a base case- a diesel generator with installed capacity 7kW. The locations are selected three in Albania: Vlora, Korça and Elbasan, and two in Kosovo: Prishtina and Prizren. All are in different altitudes. By the calculation of RETScreen program, it has been analyzed the feasibility of the proposed projects by installing a wind turbine at hub’s height 20m. The climate data for each location were retrieved by the RETScreen program from NASA. Generally, the calculation of financial parameters for the investments came out to be positive, the impact of GHG reduction very significant. A 5500 USD investment for the implementation of proposed case showed an equity payback time of 2-3 yrs and GHG reduction of 2.2 tCO2/yr. The electricity delivery to load only from this 1 KW wind turbine resulted to be between 1.6-17 MWh/yr.

Published: March 2015

Energy usage is crucial aspect on agriculture drying process. This step spends about 70% of total energy in post harvest treatment. The design of efficient dryer with renewable energy source is urgently required due to the limitation of fossil fuel energy. This work discusses the performance of air dehumidification using rice husk fuel as heat source for onion, and paddy drying. Unlike conventional dryer, the humidity of air during the drying was dehumidified by adsorbent. Hence, the driving force of drying can be kept high. As consequences, the drying time and energy usage can be reduced. Here, the research was conducted in two step: laboratory and pilot scale tests. Results showed that the lowering air humidity with rice husk fuel has improved the energy efficiency. At operational temperature 60oC, the heat efficiency of 75% was achieved.

Published: March 2015

The needs of world petroleum are increased; in contrast, the fuel productions are getting decreased. Therefore, it has lead to the search for bio-fuel as an alternative energy. There are several different types of biofuel, such as biodiesel, ethanol, bioalcohol, and biogas. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids from a vegetable oil or animal fat with an alcohol producing fatty acid esters, such as methyl or ethyl ester. The present study aimed to study the effect of temperature (50, 60 and 65°C), reaction time (1 to 5 minutes) dan types of catalyst (CaO dan MgO of 1 and 3 %) in the production of biodiesel from microalgae by the transesterification process using microwave methods. It also studied the characteristics of biodiesel which had the greatest yield in the present study, i.e. flash point, cetane number, density, viscosity, and FAME. The greatest yield was 99.35% and obtained with combination of 3% MgO catalyst quantity at temperature of 60°C, in 3 minutes reaction time. At this process conditions, the biodiesel has a flash point of 122°C, cetane number of 55, density of 0.89, viscosity of 5 cP and FAME of 75.12 %.

spread and invaded plant communities

Abstract
Symphyotrichum ciliatum was reported as
invasive in Romania in the early 1970s. In this study we
have analysed its invasion history, current distribution
in Romania, habitat preferences and the associated plant
communities. Data recorded during our recent field work,
as well as from herbaria and previously published papers,
were used in the analysis. This data confirms its invasive
character. Given the abrupt increase in the slope of the
invasion curve during the last decade, we can assume that
S. ciliatum is still far from reaching the saturation phase of
its invasion in Romania. Habitats invaded by this species
are mostly anthropogenic herb stands associated with rail
and road transport networks, and the continental inland
salt steppes. The classical methodology of the Zürich-
Montpellier school was used for the field phytosociological
research and the classification of the investigated
communities was done using the deductive method. The
phytocoenoses dominated by S. ciliatum were classified
as derivate communities. The description of these
communities included data about plant composition,
synecology and distribution in the study area.
Activated hydrogen peroxide decolorization of a model azo dye-colored pulp
Authors: Walger Elsa , Rivollier Camille , Marlin Nathalie , Mortha Gérard 
Published: March 2015

AbstractRecovered fibers are reused for manufacturing bright paper after deinking and fiber decolorization. This second process generally starts with an alkaline hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stage, referred to as P. However, the color-stripping effect of P is often limited due to the low reactivity of H2O2on the azo groups of dyes. The purpose of this study was to improve the removal of these azo dyes by H2O2. A bleached kraft pulp was dyed with a model azo dye and submitted to activated H2O2bleaching. Phenanthroline and copper(II)-phenanthroline (Cu-Phen) served as activating compounds. The color-stripping trials were carried out at weak or conventional alkaline pH. The results were mainly evaluated in terms of dye removal index and degree of polymerization of cellulose. The theoretical composition of Cu-Phen in the bleaching conditions was calculated by means of the geochemical software PHREEQC. The results show that Cu-Phen was able to activate H2O2color stripping, although it was accompanied by additional cellulose degradation. Moreover, the color stripping was more effective under alkaline conditions, in which case CuPhen(OH)2would be present. Two hypotheses are proposed to explain this activated decolorization: a free radical mechanism and the influence of CuPhen(OH)2as an activating species.
Phospho‐tyrosine dependent protein–protein interaction network

Published: March 2015

AbstractPost‐translational protein modifications, such as tyrosine phosphorylation, regulate protein–protein interactions (PPIs) critical for signal processing and cellular phenotypes. We extended an established yeast two‐hybrid system employing human protein kinases for the analyses of phospho‐tyrosine (pY)‐dependent PPIs in a direct experimental, large‐scale approach. We identified 292 mostly novel pY‐dependent PPIs which showed high specificity with respect to kinases and interacting proteins and validated a large fraction in co‐immunoprecipitation experiments from mammalian cells. About one‐sixth of the interactions are mediated by known linear sequence binding motifs while the majority of pY‐PPIs are mediated by other linear epitopes or governed by alternative recognition modes. Network analysis revealed that pY‐mediated recognition events are tied to a highly connected protein module dedicated to signaling and cell growth pathways related to cancer. Using binding assays, protein complementation and phenotypic readouts to characterize the pY‐dependent interactions of TSPAN2 (tetraspanin 2) and GRB2 or PIK3R3 (p55γ), we exemplarily provide evidence that the two pY‐dependent PPIs dictate cellular cancer phenotypes.
Kinase‐two‐hybrid: towards the conditional interactome
Authors: Ochoa David , Beltrao Pedro 
Published: March 2015

The dynamics of the protein–protein interaction network and how it responds to biological perturbations remain difficult to assay by most traditional techniques. A novel kinase‐dependent yeast two‐hybrid framework by Stelzl and colleagues (Grossmann et al, 2015) provides a new prism to study how tyrosine phosphorylation regulates the changes in the interactome under varying conditions.
Genetic Interaction Landscape Reveals Critical Requirements for Schizosaccharomyces pombe Brc1 in DNA Damage Response Mutants
Authors: Sánchez Arancha , Roguev Assen , Krogan Nevan J , Russell Paul 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
Brc1, which was first identified as a high-copy, allele-specific suppressor of a mutation impairing the Smc5-Smc6 holocomplex in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, protects genome integrity during normal DNA replication and when cells are exposed to toxic compounds that stall or collapse replication forks. The C-terminal tandem BRCT (BRCA1 C-terminus) domain of fission yeast Brc1 docks with phosphorylated histone H2A (γH2A)-marked chromatin formed by ATR/Rad3 checkpoint kinase at arrested and damaged replication forks; however, how Brc1 functions in relation to other genome protection modules remains unclear. Here, an epistatic mini-array profile reveals critical requirements for Brc1 in mutants that are defective in multiple DNA damage response pathways, including checkpoint signaling by Rad3-Rad26/ATR-ATRIP kinase, DNA repair by Smc5-Smc6 holocomplex, replication fork stabilization by Mrc1/claspin and Swi1-Swi3/Timeless-Tipin, and control of ubiquitin-regulated proteolysis by the COP9 signalosome (CSN). Exogenous genotoxins enhance these negative genetic interactions. Rad52 and RPA foci are increased in CSN-defective cells, and loss of γH2A increases genotoxin sensitivity, indicating a critical role for the γH2A-Brc1 module in stabilizing replication forks in CSN-defective cells. A negative genetic interaction with the Nse6 subunit of Smc5-Smc6 holocomplex indicates that the DNA repair functions of Brc1 and Smc5-Smc6 holocomplex are at least partially independent. Rtt107, the Brc1 homolog in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has a very different pattern of genetic interactions, indicating evolutionary divergence of functions and DNA damage responses.
A Conceptual Model for Ionic Transport in Cement-based Materials in Conditions of Externally Applied Electric Field

Published: March 2015

ABSTRACTThe transport properties, i.e. microstructural behavior and mechanisms related to water and ionic transport within the pore network of cement-based materials can be considered as an indicator for durability and to predict service life of concrete structures. Hence, the investigation of ionic transport is very important to asses ionic diffusion and ionic migration that potentially affect microstructural development of the bulk cement-based matrix. External electric fields are commonly accelerating ion (and water) migration. Numerical works on simulation of these phenomena have been reported, however, most of them consider only a constant ionic diffusion coefficient. This paper deals with the application of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations to simulate ionic transport in cement-based systems exposed to external electric potential by considering time dependent diffusion coefficient. The simulation involves solving the equation of mass conservation of individual ionic species coupled with electrostatic potential. Profiles of ionic concentrations and ionic distribution in cement-based systems are presented and discussed.

AbstractBackground.The Oncotype DX recurrence score (RS) assay has been validated for prediction of 10-year risk of distant recurrence and likelihood of benefit from chemotherapy in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer. Patients with high RS tumors have substantial benefit, and patients with low RS tumors have minimal if any benefit from chemotherapy. Tumor size is used as a key parameter when selecting patients for neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to assess the distribution of RS in patients selected for neoadjuvant chemotherapy primarily according to tumor size.Patients and Methods.Patients with ER-positive and HER2-negative tumors that were node-negative or had no more than 1 positive node from three trials were included in this study. Oncotype DX was performed at Genomic Health, Inc., blinded to the clinical data. Descriptive statistics were calculated for distribution of RS for all cases.Results.Of 277 patients, 96 met eligibility criteria, and 81 had sufficient material for analysis. Median tumor size was 40 mm (interquartile range [IQR], 30–50 mm). Grade I, II, and III were observed in 13, 49, and 17 cases, respectively. There was a wide distribution of RS with a median of 21.4 (IQR, 16.05-26.75). In total, 23 (28.3%) had high, 28 (34.6%) intermediate, and 30 (37%) low RS results.Conclusion.The RS may provide relevant information for neoadjuvant treatment decisions in select patients both in clinical practice and in studies. Inclusion of low RS disease patients in neoadjuvant trials will likely only dilute the ability to look at treatment effects.

Abstract

Author Summary

Background.
This open-label phase I dose-escalation study investigated the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) effects of the oral angiokinase inhibitor nintedanib in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Methods.
Nintedanib was administered once daily continuously, starting at 100 mg and later amended to allow evaluation of 250 mg b.i.d. The primary endpoint was maximum tolerated dose (MTD). DCE-MRI studies were performed at baseline and on days 2 and 28.

Results.
Fifty-one patients received nintedanib 100–450 mg once daily (n = 40) or 250 mg b.i.d. (n = 11). Asymptomatic reversible liver enzyme elevations (grade 3) were dose limiting in 2 of 5 patients at 450 mg once daily. At 250 mg b.i.d., 2 of 11 patients experienced dose-limiting toxicity (grade 3 liver enzyme elevation and gastrointestinal symptoms). Common toxicities included fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain (mainly grade ≤2). Among 45 patients, 22 (49%) achieved stable disease; 7 remained on treatment for &gt;6 months. DCE-MRI of target lesions revealed effects in some patients at 200 and ≥400 mg once daily.

Conclusion.
Nintedanib is well tolerated by patients with advanced solid malignancies, with MTD defined as 250 mg b.i.d., and can induce changes in DCE-MRI. Disease stabilization &gt;6 months was observed in 7 of 51 patients.
Perspectives of African Americans on Lung Cancer: A Qualitative Analysis

Published: March 2015

Abstract

Background.
Disparities in incidence and mortality for lung cancer in African Americans are well documented; however, the extent to which disparities reflect differences in patient perceptions of tobacco and lung cancer treatment is unclear. The objective of this study was to explore African Americans’ knowledge of lung cancer, perceived risk, interest in smoking cessation, attitudes toward lung cancer treatment, and lung cancer diagnosis and treatment experiences.

Patients and Methods.
The cohort comprised 32 African-American current and former smokers without a cancer diagnosis who participated in focus groups and 10 African Americans with lung cancer who participated in in-depth interviews. Transcripts were analyzed using a modified grounded theory approach.

Results.
Participants without a cancer diagnosis were aware of the link between smoking and lung cancer, the common symptoms of the disease, and its poor prognosis. They desired specific, personalized smoking-cessation information. If diagnosed, the majority reported, they would seek medical care. Most believed that insurance and socioeconomic factors were more likely to affect treatment access than racial discrimination. Participants with a cancer diagnosis were also aware of the relationship between smoking and lung cancer. They felt their treatment plans were appropriate and trusted their physicians. Most did not believe that race affected their care.

Conclusion.
This qualitative study suggests that African-American smokers are aware of the relationship between smoking and lung cancer and are interested in smoking-cessation treatment. These data also indicate that lung cancer disparities are unlikely to be associated with differential willingness to receive care but that African Americans may perceive financial and insurance barriers to lung cancer treatment.
