An Adaptive Coordinated Control for an Offshore Wind Farm Connected VSC Based Multi-Terminal DC Transmission System
Authors: Kumar M. Ajay , Srikanth N.V. 
Published: November 2014

AbstractThe voltage source converter (VSC) based multiterminal high voltage direct current (MTDC) transmission system is an interesting technical option to integrate offshore wind farms with the onshore grid due to its unique performance characteristics and reduced power loss via extruded DC cables. In order to enhance the reliability and stability of the MTDC system, an adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based coordinated control design has been addressed in this paper. A four terminal VSC-MTDC system which consists of an offshore wind farm and oil platform is implemented in MATLAB/ SimPowerSystems software. The proposed model is tested under different fault scenarios along with the converter outage and simulation results show that the novel coordinated control design has great dynamic stabilities and also the VSC-MTDC system can supply AC voltage of good quality to offshore loads during the disturbances.
Historical Aspects of Sunflower Researches in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Duca Maria 
Published: November 2014

AbstractThe first document that attests the cultivation of sunflower on the territory of the Republic of Moldova dates back to 1845. The first evidence of oil production from sunflower seeds has been identified in 1867. Since then, the area cultivated with sunflower has expanded exponentially. Sunflower has now become the third most produced crop, after corn and wheat. In the Republic of Moldova, sunflower research activities have been focused on genetics, breeding and improvement of crop cultivation technologies, with a special emphasis on resistance to disease and pests including broomrape, which can considerably diminish crop productivity. Significant efforts have been invested to identify solutions for fighting parasites, such as the investigation of morpho-physiological, biochemical and genetic aspects of the host–parasite interaction; the development of chemical and agro-technical methods to fight parasites; the evaluation of genetic resistance in artificial and natural conditions; the development of hybrids resistant to a number of Orobanche varieties; and the monitoring of broomrape impact on the production indices. The current paper examines the scientific information available, providing a comprehensive view on the management, breeding, resistance and economic impact of sunflower broomrape in the Republic of Moldova. The review aims to provide a perspective for future research strategies to further develop our understanding of the parasite–host interaction.
Klimamessungen für die Denkmalpflege im Dom zu Freiberg
Authors: Weichert Lothar 
Published: November 2014

Zusammenfassung
Diese Mitteilung gibt einige Ergebnisse von Klimamessungen wieder, die am und im Dom zu Freiberg über einen Zeitraum von fast zwei Jahren vorgenommen wurden. Die Auswirkung zeitlicher und betragsmäßiger Schwankungen von Temperatur und relativer Luftfeuchte im Außenbereich auf den Innenbereich des Domes bzw. an und in den Bauteilen der historischen Tulpenkanzel zeigt sich in einer stark ausgeprägten Dämpfung. Der zeitliche Verzug konnte quantifiziert werden, ebenso die Verminderung der betraglichen Schwankung. Die Frage, ob es an den Bauteilen der Tulpenkanzel zur Kondensation von Wasser aus der umgebenden Atmosphäre kommt, kann aufgrund der Meßergebnisse verneint werden. Der hohe Wassergehalt im Tuffstein des Kanzelfußes dürfte damit eindeutig auf aufsteigende Feuchte zurückzuführen sein. Die in einem Bohrloch des Steines sich einstellende Gleichgewichtsfeuchte im Luftraum und ihre zeitliche Schwankungen dürften in kausalem Zusammenhang stehen mit dem, durch andere Messungen festgestellten, Salzgehalt, besonders MgSO4.

Published: November 2014

AbstractLow‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related proteins 5 and 6 (LRP5/6) function as transmembrane receptors to transduce Wnt signals. A key mechanism for signalling is Wnt‐induced serine/threonine phosphorylation at conservedPPPSPxSmotifs in theLRP6 cytoplasmic domain, which promotes pathway activation. Conserved tyrosine residues are positioned close to allPPPSPxSmotifs, which suggests they have a functional significance. Using a cell culture‐based cDNAexpression screen, we identified the non‐receptor tyrosine kinases Src and Fer as novelLRP6 modifiers. Both Src and Fer associate withLRP6 and phosphorylateLRP6 directly. In contrast to the knownPPPSPxSSer/Thr kinases, tyrosine phosphorylation by Src and Fer negatively regulatesLRP6‐Wnt signalling. Epistatically, they function upstream of β‐catenin to inhibit signalling and in agreement with a negative role in regulatingLRP6,MEFcells lacking these kinases show enhanced Wnt signalling. Wnt3a treatment of cells enhances tyrosine phosphorylation of endogenousLRP6 and, mechanistically, Src reduces cell surfaceLRP6 levels and disrupts LRP6 signalosome formation. Interestingly,CK1γ inhibits Fer‐inducedLRP6 phosphorylation, suggesting a mechanism wherebyCK1γ acts to de‐represses inhibitoryLRP6 tyrosine phosphorylation. We propose thatLRP6 tyrosine phosphorylation by Src and Fer serves a negative regulatory function to prevent over‐activation of Wnt signalling at the level of the Wnt receptor, LRP6.

ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis that the GH receptor (GHR) exon 3 deleted (d3)/full-length (fl) polymorphism influences anthropometry and body composition in the general population.Design and settingThe Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) reference study is a cross-sectional population-based study, randomly selected from a population registry. A subgroup of the population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer study (MDC-CC) was used as a replication cohort.MethodsThe SOS reference study comprises 1135 subjects (46.2% men), with an average age of 49.5 years. The MDC-CC includes 5451 successfully genotyped subjects (41.5% men), with an average age of 57.5 years. GHR d3/fl genotypes were determined using TagSNP rs6873545. Linear regression analyses were used to test for genotype–phenotype associations.ResultsIn the SOS reference study, subjects homozygous for the d3-GHR weighed ∼4 kg more (P=0.011), and had larger waist-to-hip ratio (WHR, P=0.036), larger waist circumference (P=0.016), and more fat-free mass estimated from total body potassium (P=0.026) than grouped fl/d3 and fl/fl subjects (d3-recessive genetic model). The association with WHR was replicated in the MDC-CC (P=0.002), but not those with other anthropometric traits.ConclusionsIn this population-based study, the GHR d3/fl polymorphism was found to be of functional relevance and associated with central adiposity, such that subjects homozygous for the d3-GHR showed an increased abdominal obesity.
Electric Charging and Colloid Stability of Fabricated Nedle-Like \(\mbox{TiO}_{2}\) Nanoparticles
Authors: Ueno Kento , Kobayashi Motoyoshi , Adachi Yasuhisa , Kojima Takashi 
Published: November 2014

Charging and stability of needle-like TiO\(_{2}\) nanoparticles were studied. Measured isoelectric point (IEP) was pH~4 and lower than that of spherical ones pH~6. Heat treatment at 400\(\text{\r{}}\)C changed the IEP from 4 to 6. The shift is probably due to shape controller (ethylenediamine). The particles aggregate around IEP and thus are charge-stabilized. Experimental hydrodynamic diameters of needle-like particles showed a reasonably good agreement with the theoretical diameter. That is, the particles can be dispersed to primary particles. 1pK Stern and standard electrokinetic models describe electrophoretic mobility of needle-like TiO\(_{2}\), indicating that double layer relaxation is significant for needle-like TiO\(_{2}\).

Published: November 2014

We have investigated the effects of temperature on the magnetic easy axis reorientation (EARs) in polycrystalline ferromagnetic (FM) nano-scale thin films, i.e. (001)-oriented cubic films such as Fe, Ni, CFO and (0001)-oriented hexagonal films such as Co, grown on ferroelectric (FE) substrates, for example PZT, BTO substrates. The model of FM/FE bilayered heterostructures has been applied to study the total free energy of the FM films. By minimizing this energy, we have shown that temperature has a significant effect on a critical electric field induced magnetic reorientation.
A Simple Process to Fabricate Micro Flux Sources with High Magnetic Field Gradient
Authors: Cuong Le Viet , Thang Pham Duc , Hien Nguyen The 
Published: November 2014

In this paper, we present a fabrication process to produce the micro-sized magnetic structures based on the hard magnetic powders. Under the magnetic field originated from a micro patterned hard magnetic film, these magnetic powders are magnetically aligned to form arrays of the micro magnets on a polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) substrate. The high magnetic field gradient and stable magnetic flux can be obtained at certain micro-sized area on the surface of the micro magnets. The fabricated structures have been used for trapping iron oxide particles. Generally this fabrication process is simple, low cost and the micro magnets can be used for further applications in biology, medicine and beyond.
Neonatal Liver Cell Donation: A Case Report
Authors: Godfrey Kathleen , Kish Mary Z. 
Published: November 2014

ABSTRACTTraditional organ transplant options for newborns have been rare. There continues to be an increasing need for organs for transplant and a limited number of available organs, especially for small children. Liver cell transplantation is a promising alternative to orthotopic liver transplantation to treat liver-based inborn errors of metabolism.1 The procedure is minimally invasive and can be performed repeatedly. The safety of the procedure has been well established, and the clinical results are encouraging.1 The liver cell donation process is an option for families who experience the loss of a newborn and offers them a legacy for their child by providing life for others. The purpose of this article is to discuss the neonatal liver cell donation process and present a case report of an anencephalic infant whose parents chose to participate in this unique program.

Authors: Guydish Joseph , Yu Jiang , Le Thao , Pagano Anna , Delucchi Kevin 
Published: November 2014

Objectives. We used admissions data from the New York State addiction treatment system to assess patient self-reported tobacco use and factors associated with tobacco use. Methods. We compared prevalence of tobacco use in the state addiction treatment system with that of a national sample of people receiving addiction treatment and with that of the New York general population in 2005 to 2008. A random effects logistic model assessed relationships between patient- and program-level variables and tobacco use. Results. Prevalence of tobacco use in the New York treatment system was similar to that in national addiction treatment data and was 3 to 4 times higher than that in the general population. Co-occurring mental illness, opiate use, methadone treatment, and being a child of a substance-abusing parent were associated with higher rates of tobacco use. Conclusions. We call on federal leadership to build capacity to address tobacco use in addiction treatment, and we call on state leadership to implement tobacco-free grounds policies in addiction treatment systems.

Published: November 2014

Objectives. We evaluated the quantity and type of medications obtained in unused-medications return programs and the proportion of medication waste. Methods. We analyzed data collected in 11 Maine cities in 2011 to 2013 during 6 Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) national medication take-back events. Pharmacy doctoral student volunteers collected data under the supervision of law enforcement, independent of the DEA. Data entry into the Pharmaceutical Collection Monitoring System, through its interface with Micromedex, allowed for analysis of medication classification, controlled substance category, therapeutic class, and percentage of medication waste (units returned/units dispensed). Results. Medication take-back events resulted in return of 13 599 individual medications from 1049 participants. We cataloged 553 019 units (capsules, tablets, milliliters, patches, or grams), representing 69.7% medication waste. Noncontrolled prescription medications accounted for 56.4% of returns, followed by over-the-counter medications (31.4%) and controlled prescription medications (9.1%). Conclusions. The significant quantities of medications, including controlled substances, returned and high degree of medication waste emphasize the need for medication collection programs to further public health research and improve health in our communities.

Published: November 2014

Objectives. We investigated prospective associations among assets (e.g., family communication), which research has shown to protect youths from risk behavior, and successful transition to early adulthood (STEA). Methods. We included participants (n = 651) aged 18 years and older at study wave 5 (2007–2008) of the Youth Asset Study, in the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, metro area, in the analyses. We categorized 14 assets into individual-, family-, or community-level groups. We included asset groups assessed at wave 1 (2003–2004) in linear regression analyses to predict STEA 4 years later at wave 5. Results. Individual- and community-level assets significantly (P < .05) predicted STEA 4 years later and the associations were generally linear, indicating that the more assets participants possessed the better the STEA outcome. There was a gender interaction for family-level assets suggesting that family-level assets were significant predictors of STEA for males but not for females. Conclusions. Public health programming should focus on community- and family-level youth assets as well as individual-level youth assets to promote positive health outcomes in early adulthood.
Demand Forecasting for Domestic Air Transportation in Turkey
Authors: Sivrikaya Orhan , Tunc Enar 
Published: November 2014

introduction
Patients have the right to influence the care they receive, but their wish to participate in care
decision-making is unclear.

Aim
This study investigates whether participation in nursing documentation influences patient participation in care
decision-making, mastery, self-esteem, empowerment and depressive feelings among adult in-patients with chronic
disease.

Materials and Methodology
Adult patients (n=39) with chronic diseases were randomized. The intervention group
participated in nursing documentation. Upon departure, patients filled in questionnaires about participation in care
decision-making, mastery, self-esteem, empowerment and depressive feelings.

Results
The majority of the patients preferred a collaborative or passive role regarding care decision-making. Lack of
knowledge was one reason for non-participation. Having been diagnosed more than five years previously meant stronger
empowerment.

Conclusion
It is a challenge for nurses to find strategies to assess patients’ wishes regarding participation in care
decision-making. Nurses must support patients’ knowledge of their disease and empowerment.
The effect of increased fresh water from Antarctic ice shelves on future trends in Antarctic sea ice
Authors: Bintanja R. , van Oldenborgh G.J. , Katsman C.A. 
Published: November 2014

AbstractObservations show that, in contrast to the Arctic, the area of Antarctic sea ice has increased since 1979. A potential driver of this significant increase relates to the mass loss of the Antarctic ice sheet. Subsurface ocean warming causes basal ice-shelf melt, freshening the surface waters around Antarctica, which leads to increases in sea-ice cover. With climate warming ongoing, future mass-loss rates are projected to accelerate, which has the potential to affect future Antarctic sea-ice trends. Here we investigate to what extent future sea-ice trends are influenced by projected increases in Antarctic freshwater flux due to subsurface melt, using a state-of-the-art global climate model (EC-Earth) in standardized Climate Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) climate-change simulations. Virtually all CMIP5 models disregard ocean–ice-sheet interactions and project strongly retreating Antarctic sea ice. Applying various freshwater flux scenarios, we find that the additional fresh water significantly offsets the decline in sea-ice area and is even able to reverse the trend in the strongest freshwater forcing scenario that can reasonably be expected, especially in austral winter. The model also simulates decreasing sea surface temperatures (SSTs), with the SST trends exhibiting strong regional variations that largely correspond to regional sea-ice trends.

Résumé La médiologie peut tenir quelques textes du passé pour précurseurs de ses préoccupations : sortes de leçons préinaugurales. Ainsi du célèbre chapitre de Notre Dame de Paris , « Ceci tuera cela », où Hugo fait entrevoir le remplacement du livre de pierre des cathédrales par le livre de papier. Voici un autre de ces textes antémédiologiques : Le Secret de maître Cornille , d’Alphonse Daudet.
Remontrances confraternelles
Authors: Kahn Jean-François , Debray Régis 
Published: November 2014

L’horreur médiatique ? C’est beaucoup dire. La thèse de Jean-François Kahn tient en une phrase bien frappée : « Les médias de partis ont fait peu à peu place aux différents organes du parti des médias. » Ce parti, comme les autres, véhicule des idées, mais le médiatisme est un syncrétisme, « dont les deux principaux ingrédients renvoient à un progressisme sociétal et à un conservatisme économico-social, quitte à virer libertaire ici et réactionnaire là. » Deux figures l’incarnent : Daniel Cohn-Bendit, qui en est la quintessence et (plus ambigu) Nicolas Sarkozy. Mais à la différence des partis politiques appelés à gouverner, le parti médiatique décline toute responsabilité. « On sait ce qu’ils rejettent, on ignore ce qu’ils préconisent exactement. » La cause de cette mutation ? La professionnalisation qui fait émerger un esprit de corps, une confraternité, qui produit elle-même « son propre ciment unificateur ». En conséquence, la forteresse médiatique ainsi bétonnée s’isole et se coupe de l’opinion, laquelle s’égare de son côté dans de toutes autres voies : celles du populisme, dénoncé de manière, « hystérique ». Qui châtie bien, aime bien. Cette critique en forme de remontrance fraternelle nous vaut des coups de chapeau (un peu trop appuyés ?) aux confrères. « Et, cependant, oui, l’univers médiatique recèle aujourd’hui plus de trésors de talents, de réserve de savoirs et d’inventivité qu’hier ; le courage n’y manque pas, l’honnêteté et la lucidité s’y appuient sur plus d’énergies potentielles, fussent-elles bridées, que dans le passé. » Avec un tel ennemi, on n’a pas besoin d’amis. Ce qui n’empêche pas JFK de conclure de manière à la fois optimiste et désabusée : « Ce n’est pas de l’extérieur que l’on parviendra à libérer la planète médiatique de l’attraction du pire. C’est de l’intérieur. Nous en sommes, nous, devenus incapables. Soit parce que complices, soit parce que découragés. Une nouvelle génération devra assumer cette mission : contre l’horreur médiatique, rétablir l’honneur médiatique. Elle y parviendra. » ( Paul Soriano)
La taxe de bienfaisance

Published: November 2014

Résumé Cet article rend compte des mécanismes relatifs à la récolte de fonds dans la rue pour les ONG. Cette pratique récente s’inscrit dans un contexte de professionnalisation croissante du secteur humanitaire. Il s’agit alors ici de repérer les éléments rhétoriques et pratiques qui concourent à légitimer ce type d’activité salariée et à le rendre efficient. L’analyse met en lumière l’apparition d’une certaine prescription morale à l’égard des passants sollicités, le don est en effet présenté comme étant la meilleure forme d’« action » possible pour endiguer l’accroissement de l’indigence.
La métamorphose du cercueil
Authors: Secretan Thierry 
Published: November 2014

Résumé Les premiers articles de Thierry Secretan consacrés aux cercueils figuratifs du Ghana remontent à 1988 (Sunday Telegraph, GEO, Life). À travers ces articles, un film documentaire puis un livre ( Il fait sombre va t’en, édition Hazan 1994, Thames & Hudson 1995), il a révélé au monde occidental cet art funéraire né à la fin des années 1950 au Ghana et en a établi les origines. En 1999, Erimore, retraitée écossaise, vit deux de ces cercueils ghanéens, une Mercedes et une pirogue, disposés sur le plateau d’une émission de télévision anglaise. Ils appartenaient à une entreprise de pompes funèbres de Bristol à laquelle Erimore passa aussitôt commande : son cercueil serait une réplique de l’avion utilisé par les Red Arrows , la patrouille d’Angleterre. Le cercueil d’Erimore, reproduit dans toute la presse britannique fit des émules et à ce jour une douzaine de citoyens anglais ont passé commande. L’adoption d’une coutume africaine par des Européens est en soi un fait culturel rare. Dès lors Thierry Secretan a décidé de rencontrer ces Anglais, de les interroger, puis de les photographier auprès de leur cercueil, essayant de comprendre comment ils tentent de donner un sens à leur mort.
Nuit noire selon Judée

Published: November 2014

Résumé L’auteur de Nuit noire selon Judée a sans doute pensé à l’ auctor latin (« celui qui augmente ») en inscrivant ses personnages dans le flot tumultueux de la souffrance. Le corps s’en serait-il grandi ? En effet, les êtres humains nous ont montré que peu leur faut pour qu’un corps soit dégradé et détruit, et que, pour le reste, considérant l’imagination d’un avenir incertain où ils seraient encore « humains », la dégradation serait garante d’une modification selon la nature et le genre... Cette tâche, pour le moment, échoit à la poésie.
