Published: April 2015

Abstract
In this article, a fifth-order dispersive nonlinear Schrödinger equation is investigated, which describes the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses, up to the attosecond duration, in an optical fibre. Rogue wave solutions are derived by virtue of the generalised Darboux transformation. Rogue wave structures and interaction are discussed through (i) the analyses on the higher-order rogue waves, the cubic, quartic, quintic, group-velocity, and phase-parameter effects; (ii) a higher-order rogue wave consisting of the first-order rogue waves via the interaction; (iii) characteristics of the rogue waves which are summarised, including the maximum/minimum values of the rogue waves and the number of the first-order rogue waves for composing the higher-order rogue wave; and (iv) spatial-temporal patterns which are illustrated and compared with those of the ‘self-focusing’ nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We find that the quintic terms increase the time of appearance for the first-order rogue waves which form the higher-order rogue wave, and that the quintic terms affect the interaction among the first-order rogue waves, which elongates the distance of appearance for the higher-order rogue wave.

Background and objectiveHyperthyroid patients treated with radioiodine have increased morbidity and mortality from cerebrovascular events. This risk has until now has been attributed to the hyperthyroidism. However, radioiodine therapy of benign thyroid diseases exposes the carotid arteries to radiation and is capable of inducing atherosclerosis. The objective of the study was to elucidate whether ionizing radiation from radioiodine might contribute to cerebrovascular morbidity.MethodsIn a retrospective register cohort study, 4000 hyperthyroid and 1022 euthyroid goitre patients treated with radioiodine between 1975 and 2008 were matched 1:4 on age and sex with random controls. The cohort was followed from the date of treatment until hospitalization due to cerebrovascular event, death, 20 years of follow-up or March 2013. Data were analyzed in competing risk models adjusting for age, sex, Charlson's comorbidity score, atrial fibrillation and previous cerebrovascular events.ResultsMean follow-up time was 11.5 years, mean age 61 years, with a total number of 3228 events. Comparing all radioiodine-treated patients with controls, the fully adjusted model showed increased risk of cerebrovascular events among all treated patients, hazard ratio (HR) 1.18 (95% CI 1.09–1.29). The risk was increased among hyperthyroid (HR 1.17; 95% CI 1.07–1.28) as well as euthyroid patients (HR 1.21; 95% CI 1.02–1.44).ConclusionsWe report an increased risk of cerebrovascular events in hyperthyroid as well as euthyroid patients treated with radioiodine for benign thyroid disorders. That these patient groups have similar risks suggests the possibility that radiation from radioiodine contributes to cerebrovascular morbidity via acceleration or initiation of atherosclerosis.
A história da historiografia e o desafio do giro linguístico
Authors: Da Silva Rogerio Forastieri 
Published: April 2015

Esta exposição examina as relações entre a história da historiografia e o giro linguístico, este último tomado como um “desafio” à primeira. Inicialmente procura-se definir o que significa “o ponto de vista da história geral da historiografia”, ou seja, tomar a história da historiografia em sua inteireza, dos gregos ao presente e, em consequência, colocar sob suspeição as proclamadas “rupturas”, “cortes epistemológicos”, “revoluções”, “mutações” e “novas histórias” nos períodos recentes da história geral da historiografia; neste contexto, busca-se discutir o estatuto “científico” da história-discurso. Na segunda parte, caracterizamos o giro linguístico e a natureza do “desafio” que o mesmo vem a representar para a história da historiografia. Na terceira parte, situa-se o papel de Hayden White na formulação deste desafio e seus desdobramentos para a prática da história-discurso, ilustrando com exemplos de Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht e Peter Englund. A conclusão retoma argumentos de Siegfried Kracauer, Arnaldo Momigliano, Johan Huizinga, Carlo Ginzburg e Hayden White (este, em 2011) que, no conjunto, reforçam a importância de se considerar a história geral da historiografia como um todo (dos gregos ao presente) no tratamento da história-discurso; esta última, concebida como integrante de um “domínio intermediário” que, mesmo aspirando ao estatuto científico (compromisso com a verdade), não pode abandonar a construção da memória coletiva e o acerto de contas com o passado, daí decorrendo o caráter aproximativo do conhecimento histórico.
Hamlet Brasileiro: ensaio sobre giro linguístico e indeterminação historiográfica (1970-1980)
Authors: Cezar Temístocles 
Published: April 2015

O objetivo deste ensaio é o de analisar os primeiros efeitos do giro linguístico na historiografia brasileira. Considerando a escassez de pesquisa na área, optei, em primeiro lugar, por fazer uma breve descrição da emergência do giro linguístico em termos mais gerais e, em segundo lugar, uma análise de alguns textos seminais de autores brasileiros que se relacionam, de formas distintas, à temática.
A sabedoria bárbara e os limites da helenização: o Mundo Helenístico de Arnaldo Momigliano
Authors: Biazotto Thiago Do Amaral , Funari Pedro Paulo Abreu 
Published: April 2015

Neste artigo busca-se analisar a obra do historiador italiano Arnaldo Momigliano (1908-1987), em particular no que se refere à abordagem dada por ele às interações culturais durante o período helenístico (323-30 a. C.). Será argumentado que as interpretações de Momigliano sobre o referido período estavam, em grande medida, marcadas por sua forte identidade judaica, ainda mais pelo fato de Os Limites da Helenização (Alien Wisdom: The Limits of Hellenization [1975]) – sua principal obra sobre o assunto – ter sido publicada sob os ecos dos ataques da Síria e do Egito ao Estado de Israel. Desse modo, busca-se problematizar a produção de Momigliano, demonstrado como o cenário político e identitário influiu no trabalho do historiador.
Uma revisão crítica das fontes historiográficas para a história do Império Parto (247 a.C. – 228 d. C.): o caso de Apolodoro de Artemita e Arriano de Nicomédia
Authors: De Sant'Ana Henrique Modanez 
Published: April 2015

Este artigo está vinculado ao crescente interesse crítico pelo Império Parto e tem como objetivo discutir duas das principais fontes historiográficas para a história dessa unidade política nascida em 247 a.C., após a vitória militar sobre os selêucidas: Apolodoro de Artemita e Arriano de Nicomédia. A escolha desses dois historiadores antigos (cada qual com sua Parthica) deve-se aos fatos de que Apolodoro foi o primeiro a registrar a manipulação da ancestralidade aquemênida pelos partos, como parte de sua estratégia de legitimação política, e de que Arriano se tornou o principal herdeiro da historiografia greco-parta (representada por Apolodoro) na tradição literária romana.
Patria Suave: uma análise das obras de divulgação sobre a história do México publicadas durante as comemorações do Bicentenário
Authors: Kalil Luis Guilherme Assis , Da Silva Caio Pedrosa 
Published: April 2015

Em 2010, o México organizou uma longa série de cerimônias públicas, vídeos, músicas e discursos em comemoração ao Bicentenário de sua Independência e ao Centenário da Revolução Mexicana. O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar de que maneiras determinadas obras de divulgação sobre a história mexicana publicadas durante as celebrações representaram o passado mexicano a partir de dois eixos centrais: o período pré-colombiano e a Revolução Mexicana. Devido à profusão de discursos produzidos no período, centraremos nossa atenção nas obras voltadas ao público não especializado que alcançaram as maiores tiragens dentre as que foram organizadas durante as comemorações do Bicentenário ou mesmo como parte delas.
A Confederação dos Tamoios como escrita da história nacional e da escravidão
Authors: Ferretti Danilo José Zioni 
Published: April 2015

Este artigo é uma tentativa inicial de reavaliação da obra A Confederação dos Tamoios (1856), do poeta romântico Gonçalves de Magalhães, tomando-a como um exercício de escrita da história brasileira e do papel nela desempenhado pela escravidão. Para tanto, busca-se compreender as inovações oitocentistas do épico mediante uma discussão sobre o diálogo entre literatura e conhecimento histórico no Brasil oitocentista. Aponta-se que ambos compartilharam o objetivo de servir como meios de orientação da coletividade nacional, empenhando-se em conferir significação e direção à sua própria experiência do tempo. Analisa-se a interpretação da história contida no poema e a centralidade conferida à questão da escravidão, indicando que o indianismo de Magalhães era também um antiescravismo.
Single-shot Multi-slice T1 Mapping at High Spatial Resolution – Inversion-Recovery FLASH with Radial Undersampling and Iterative Reconstruction
Authors: Wang Xiaoqing , Roeloffs Volkert , Merboldt K. Dietmar , Voit Dirk , Schätz Sebastian , Frahm Jens 
Published: April 2015

Purpose:
To develop a method for T1 mapping at high spatial resolution and for multiple slices.

Methods:
The proposed method emerges as a single-shot inversion-recovery experiment which covers the entire spin-lattice
relaxation process by serial acquisitions of highly undersampled radial FLASH images, either in single-slice or
multi-slice mode. Serial image reconstructions are performed in time-reversed order and first involve regularized nonlinear
inversion (NLINV) to estimate optimum coil sensitivity profiles. Subsequently, the coil profiles are fixed for the calculation
of differently T1-weighted frames and the resulting linear inverse problem is solved by a conjugate gradient (CG)
technique. T1 values are obtained by pixelwise fitting with a Deichmann correction modified for multi-slice applications.

Results:
T1 accuracy was validated for a reference phantom. For human brain, T1 maps were obtained at 0.5 mm resolution
for single-slice acquisitions and at 0.75 mm resolution for up to 5 simultaneous slices (5 mm thickness). Corresponding
T1 maps of the liver were acquired at 1 mm and 1.5 mm resolution, respectively. All T1 values were in agreement
with literature data.

Conclusion:
Inversion-recovery sequences with highly undersampled radial FLASH images and NLINV/CG reconstruction
allow for fast, robust and accurate T1 mapping at high spatial resolution and for multiple slices.
Automated Peritoneal Dialysis: An alternative to Continuous Ambulatory or a First Choice Treatment?
Authors: Dounousi Evangelia , Duni Anila , Leivaditis Konstantinos , Liakopoulos Vassilios 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
The use of the various forms of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) has considerably increased in the past few years. This increase is driven by improved cycler design, apparent lifestyle advantages, and the increased ability to achieve adequacy and ultrafiltration targets. It is therefore reasonable to raise the question whether APD is superior to Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD). APD is considered the most suitable Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) modality for high transporters as well as for assisted PD. It has also been associated with improved compliance, lower intraperitoneal pressure and possibly lower incidence of peritonitis. On the other hand, there are concerns regarding increased cost, a more rapid decline in residual renal function, inadequate sodium removal and disturbed sleep. Besides its beneficial results in high transporters, other medical advantages of APD still remain unclear. Individual patient’s choice remains the most important indication for applying APD, which should be made available to all patients starting PD.
Kidney Complications Due to Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation-A Disorder of an Increasing Incidence?

Published: April 2015

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is becoming an increasingly popular treatment considering that it is the only curative option for many malignant and non-malignant diseases. Many patients treated in this way have been followed for two or three decades post-transplant and are presumed to be cured. But, on the other hand, a great proportion of these patients are experiencing long-term side effects after HSCT, including non-malignant organ or tissue dysfunction, changes in quality of life, infections and secondary malignancy. Renal complications caused by HSCT are high and are associated with the development of both acute and chronic kidney failure. So, considering the increasing numbers of HSCT survivors many years after the transplantation, chronic kidney disease due to HSCT is becoming a growing problem and represents a new population of patients who are presented to nephrologists. The three most common forms of chronic kidney disease related to HSCT are: chronic calcineurin nephrotoxicity, glomerular disease after HSCT and HSCT associated thrombotic microangiopathy.

Abstract

Introduction. Kidney disease is associated with many abnormalities in the oral health status as well as with alterations in salivary flow and composition. The aim of this study was to evaluate and to correlate oral clinical findings, salivary flow (SF) and salivary pH values in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) not yet on hemodyalisis treatment, those undergoing hemodialysis and in kidney transplant recipients.

Methods. In a cross-sectional study 90 patients were included. The cohort was composed of three groups: 30 patients with CKD (serum creatinine values under 120 μmol/L-group 1), 30 patients with CKD on hemodialysis (group 2) and 30 kidney transplanted patients (group 3). The control group consisted of 20 healthy individuals. Oral symptoms, signs and lesions: salivary volume, salivary pH and SF of stimulated and unstimulated saliva were evaluated.

Results. Among patients with CKD without dialysis treatment inverse relationship was found between uremic fetor, unpleasant taste and unstimulated SF and also between xerostomia and stimulated SF. Negative correlation between thirst and unstimulated salivary flow was found in both groups, patients with CKD on dialysis and kidney transplant group. Furthermore, in kidney-transplant patients a negative correlation was found between petechiae and SF, while in group of patients with CKD on hemodialysis the same negative correlation was registered between uremic fetor and stimulated SF.

Conclusions. Salivary flow was significantly lower in hemodialysis patients, while the highest was in the kidney-transplant recipients accompanied with improvement in the other oral clinical findings observed in our study.
Savoir et non-savoir dans le trauma psychique massif
Authors: Laub Dori , Auerhahn Nanette C. 
Published: April 2015

Il est dans la nature du trauma de se dérober au savoir. Un trauma massif ne peut être saisi parce qu’il n’y a ni mots ni catégories de pensée adéquats pour sa représentation ; la connaissance du trauma est aussi farouchement défendue, car elle constitue une menace considérable à l’intégrité psychique. Mais le savoir se produit néanmoins à un certain niveau, souvent sous des formes restrictives ou défensives. Des exemples tirés de la clinique et des témoignages sont donnés pour chacun des niveaux de savoir décrits, et les implications pour la stratégie thérapeutique sont discutées.
Penser la métropole avec le genre
Authors: Louargant Sophie 
Published: April 2015

Les questions urbaines et territoriales n’offrent pas assez régulièrement la place au débat sur les approches de genre. Usuellement associée à un débat sociétal, la question du genre n’aurait donc pas sa place dans la conceptualisation du fait urbain et métropolitain, du moins dans la conception hexagonale à la fois réflexive et opérationnelle des politiques territoriales et urbaines. La manière dont « on prend place », dont on est autorisé à prendre cette « place » dans les formes d’urbanités contemporaines montre que les questions de genre s’inscrivent dans l’histoire des luttes urbaines sociales, mais aussi dans une action publique contemporaine portée par les idéologies du bien-être urbain, de l’écologie urbaine. Cet article retrace les effets concomitants des utopies féministes et écologistes dans le champ actuel de la conception urbaine. L’analyse des usages des espaces de nature dans l’agglomération de Grenoble explicite les effets de la conception androcentrée et hétéronormative des espaces de nature à la fois sur les usages, les représentations et la gestion de ces sites.
18-FDG Uptake in Pulmonary Dirofilariasis
Authors: Stone Michael , Dalal Ishani , Stone Chad , Dalal Bhavin 
Published: April 2015

Solitary pulmonary nodules are a common finding on chest radiography and CT. We present the case of an asymptomatic 59-year-old male found to have a 13 mm left upper lobe nodule on CT scan. The patient was asymptomatic and the CT was performed to follow up mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy that had been stable on several previous CT scans. He had a history of emphysema and reported a 15 pack-year smoking history. PET-CT was performed which demonstrated mild 18-FDG uptake within the nodule. Given his age and smoking history, malignancy was a consideration and he underwent a wedge resection. Pathological examination revealed a necrobiotic granulomatous nodule with a central thrombosed artery containing a parasitic worm with internal longitudinal ridges and abundant somatic muscle, consistent with pulmonary dirofilariasis. Dirofilaria immitis, commonly known as the canine heartworm, rarely affects humans. On occasion it can be transmitted to a human host by a mosquito bite. There are two major clinical syndromes in humans: pulmonary dirofilariasis and subcutaneous dirofilariasis. In the pulmonary form, the injected larvae die before becoming fully mature and become lodged in the pulmonary arteries.
The Impact of Generalized Stacking Fault Energy on the Mechanical Properties of Shuffle Dislocation in Zigzag Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Authors: Zhang Hui Li , Tong Lu Mei 
Published: April 2015

The calculation of generalized stacking fault energy for covalent materials exists several relaxation methods. And the modification factor of the restoring force should be different for different relaxation. In order to study the impact of generalized stacking fault energy on the mechanical properties of dislocations, the dislocation energy, Peierls barrier and Peierls stress of shuffle dislocation in zigzag single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) under different modification factors are studied by the improved Peierls-Nabarro (P-N) theory. It is found that the misfit energies decreased, and the strain and total energies increased with increasing of the modification factor Δ. With the modification factor Δ of the restoring force changes from -0.2 to 0.5, the dislocation energy changes from 17.4eV to 19.3eV. The Peierls barriers Ep and σp Peierls stresses increased first and then decreased and the results are not as same as we thought. The impact of generalized stacking fault energy on mechanical properties of dislocations is not so simple as we thought and need to be further studied.
Wind Turbine Wake-Redirection Control at the Fishermen's Atlantic City Windfarm
Authors: Churchfield Matthew J. , Fleming Paul , Bulder Bernard , White Stanley M. 
Published: April 2015

In this paper, we will present our work towards designing a control strategy to mitigate wind turbine wake effects by redirecting the wakes, specifically applied to the Fishermen's Atlantic City Windfarm, proposed for deployment within the next few years off the shore of Atlantic City, New Jersey. As wind turbines extract energy from the air, they create low-speed wakes that extend behind them. Full wake recovery to the undisturbed wind speed takes a significant distance. In a wind energy plant the wakes of upstream turbines may travel downstream to the next row of turbines, effectively subjecting them to lower wind speeds, meaning these waked turbines will produce less power.
Wakes can be redirected laterally to some degree, though, by applying yaw misalignment to the wake-generating turbine (i.e., not pointing the turbine directly into the wind). Yaw misalignment causes part of the rotor thrust vector to be pointed in the cross-stream direction, deflecting the flow and the wake in that direction. Yaw misalignment reduces power production, but the global increase in wind plant power caused by decreased wake effects creates a net increase in power production. With the increase in power can come an increase in fatigue loads, though, caused by yaw misalignment. However, if misalignment is applied properly, and it is layered with individual blade pitch control, the load increase can be mitigated. To explore the idea of wake redirection, we used high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics.
Our computational fluid dynamics simulations predict that when winds are aligned with the row, which is one of two predominant wind directions, wake-redirection control can create a 10% increase in energy capture efficiency. This means that, for a given wind energy plant's electrical generating capacity, if wake-redirection control were employed, turbines could be more closely spaced, thereby reducing the watersheet area of the wind plant. Likewise, for a given watersheet area, the total electrical generating capacity can be increased.
In this paper, we discuss the concept of wake redirection through wind turbine yaw misalignment and present our computational fluid dynamics results of the Fishermen's Atlantic City Windfarm project. We also discuss the implications of wake-redirection control on annual energy production and fatigue loads, as well as plans to implement wake-redirection control at Fishermen's Atlantic City Windfarm when it is operational something not done before at a commercial wind plant.
