Free-living nematodes from a colonisation experiment in the upwelling area of Arraial do Cabo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: Lavareda decraemerae gen. n., sp. n. and emended diagnosis of Cricolaimus Southern, 1914 (Plectida: Rhadinematidae)

Published: September 2011

Abstract

Lavareda decraemerae gen. n., sp. n. is characterised by a
cheilostom with a sclerotised ring bearing six anterior projections, a
funnel-shaped to tubular stegostom, a large unispiral amphid with wide
groove and males with a single precloacal setiform sensillum and 19 tubular
supplements in a continuous series. The new species is similar to
Cricolaimus coronatus in having the cheilostom
consisting of a cuticularised ring with anterior projections. Re-examination
of C. elongatus revealed clear differences to the new
species, the former showing a bilateral symmetry anteriorly with a lateral
axis: the lips are merged into one large dorsal and one large ventral lip
with elongated inner and outer labial sensilla and the cheilostom has a
cuticularised oblique ring, higher dorsally and ventrally than laterally,
with two anteriorly directed claw-like projections, one mid-dorsal and one
mid-ventral, whereas the new species has a radial symmetry with low lips
with inner and outer labial papillae indistinct and a cheilostom with a
cuticularised ring with six anteriorly directed projections, thereby
justifying the proposal of Lavareda gen. n. to accommodate
the new species from Brazil and L. coronatus comb. n. (=
C. coronatus). An emended diagnosis of
Cricolaimus is given. This is the first record of a
species belonging to the Rhadinematidae colonising an artificial
substrate.
“Predication, Things, and Kinds in Aristotle’s Metaphysics”
Authors: Lewis Frank A. 
Published: September 2011

AbstractWhat in Aristotle corresponds, in whole or (more likely) in part, to our contemporary notion of predication? This paper sketches counterparts in Aristotle’s text to our theories of expression and of truth, and on this basis inquires into his treatment of sentences assigning an individual to its kinds. In some recent accounts, the Metaphysics offers a fresh look at such sentences in terms of matter and form, in contrast to the simpler theory on offer in the Categories. I argue that the Metaphysics initiates no change in this regard over the Categories. The point that form is (metaphysically) predicated of matter is a contribution, not to the account of statement predication, but to the analysis of compound material substances. Otherwise put, in our terms Aristotelian form is not - in particular, is not also - a propositional function, but a function from matter to compound material substances.
“Palestine Sits in Sackcloth and Ashes”: Reading Mark Twain’s The Innocents Abroad as a Protestant Holy Land Narrative
Authors: Sherrard Broke 
Published: September 2011

AbstractAmong the vast array of priceless treasures in the collection of Jerusalem’s Armenian Patriarchate is a votive portrait of a local Jerusalem saint, the priest Hanna, a native son of Jerusalem’s Armenian community. The existence of the portrait is all but unknown, despite the fact that its subject has inspired generations of Jerusalem monks to dedicate their lives to the service of the Sts. James. As vicar to Jerusalem’s Patriarch Grigor IV Shirvants‘i (Shght‘ayakir) Hanna was instrumental in reviving the fortunes of the Jerusalem Patriarchate, which, in the early eighteenth century, had suffered a near-total eclipse. Although Hanna died before the age of forty, the many activities of his short career included such major achievements as the renovation of the Armenian sections of the Holy Sepulchre Church and the transformation of the Patriarchate compound into a fully enclosed and self-sufficient enclave.
The Trinity of Non-univocal Persons: Towards a Model of Doctrinal Writing
Authors: Wright William A. 
Published: September 2011

AbstractDifficulties persist in interpreting the “three Persons” in the Trinity. The solution explored here employs a non-univocal or differentiated concept of Personhood. “Personhood” applied to God is itself three-in-one, explicated as the Suprapersonal, the Personal, and the Interpersonal. This novel taxis provides the structure for a dialectical progression through the Trinity that spans several points of dispute in recent trinitarian theology. Yet this taxis is not a proper name for God, but is best understood as a kind of self-canceling “appropriation.” The whole is thus an exercise in an altered mode of writing doctrine, a synthesis of construction and deconstruction.
Group Representation and the System of Representation in the Constituent Assembly and Future Parliaments of Nepal
Authors: Vollan Kåre 
Published: September 2011

AbstractA broad representation of all people of Nepal have been a main objective of the system of representation, first of the Constituent Assembly and then of the future Parliament, since the first agreements between the Maoists and the Seven Party Alliance was entered into at the end of 2005. The specific rules have been subject of controversies and the implementation of quotas for the Constituent Assembly elections 2008 represented major challenges. The rules as they were formulated did work towards more inclusiveness in 2008, but there were still groups which were left out of the Assembly. This article discusses the representation of groups of people in the Constituent Assembly, and it also suggests new ways of implementing affirmative action which could accommodate more marginalised groups and at the same time represent significant simplification for parties and election administrators. In addition some thought on the future general system of representation is presented.
Plotinus on the Making of Matter Part II: ‘A Corpse Adorned’ (Enn. II 4 [12] 5.18)
Authors: O’Brien Denis 
Published: September 2011

AbstractSoul springs from Intellect, Intellect springs from the One. But quite how does the sensible world arise? A pair of almost successive treatises (III 9 [13] 3 and III 4 [15] 1) points to the answer. A lower manifestation of soul ‘makes’ or ‘gives birth to’ what is variously described as ‘non-being’, ‘utterly indefinite’ and ‘utterly dark’, before covering what she has made with form, specifically the form of ‘body’, and before ‘entering rejoicing’ into the object that, by its reception of form, has been made ready to receive her and that, as the ‘dwelling place’ of soul, will be none other than the visible cosmos. A pair of earlier, again almost successive treatises, spells out the implication. The matter of the sensible world, covered with at least a minimum of form, is described as a ‘corpse adorned’ (II 4 [12] 5). The same object, but prior to its ‘adornment’, prior therefore to its appearance as a ‘body’ that is a ‘corpse’, and prior to any ‘indwelling’ of soul, is specifically said to be ‘non-being’ and the ‘darkness of matter’ (V 1 [10] 2), a transparent allusion to the product of soul in the two later treatises. The soul’s making of ‘darkness’, so we may infer, is a making of ‘matter’, the final act in the drama by which everything that exists, including the material substrate of the world we see and feel around us, stems ultimately from the One.
Apprehension of Thought in Ennead 4.3.30
Authors: Hutchinson D. M. 
Published: September 2011

AbstractPlotinus maintains that our intellect is always thinking. This is due to his view that our intellect remains in the intelligible world and shares a natural kinship with the hypostasis Intellect, whose being and activity consists in eternal contemplation of the Forms. Moreover, Plotinus maintains that although our intellect is always thinking we do not always apprehend our thoughts. This is due to his view that “we” descend into the sensible world while our intellect remains in the intelligible world. Furthermore, Plotinus maintains that it is only when logoi unfold the content of our thoughts into the imagination that we apprehend them. This is due to a complex account between, on the one hand, the relationship between intellect and discursive reasoning, and on the other hand, the relationship between discursive reasoning and language. Plotinus tells this story with remarkable brevity in Ennead 4.3.30. In this paper I explain the role the imagination plays in the apprehension of thoughts through a close analysis of this treatise in connection with Ennead 1.4.10.
Macroturbulent Equilibration in a Thermally Forced Primitive Equation System
Authors: Jansen Malte , Ferrari Raffaele 
Published: September 2011

Abstract
A major question for climate studies is to quantify the role of turbulent eddy fluxes in maintaining the observed ocean–atmosphere state. It has been argued that eddy fluxes keep the midlatitude atmosphere in a state that is marginally critical to baroclinic instability, which provides a powerful constraint on the response of the atmosphere to changes in external forcing. No comparable criterion appears to exist for the ocean. This is particularly surprising for the Southern Ocean, a region whose dynamics are very similar to the midlatitude atmosphere, but observations and numerical models suggest that the currents are supercritical.
This paper aims to resolve this apparent contradiction using a combination of theoretical considerations and eddy-resolving numerical simulations. It is shown that both marginally critical and supercritical mean states can be obtained in an idealized diabatically forced (and thus atmosphere-like) Boussinesq system, if the thermal expansion coefficient is varied from large atmosphere-like values to small oceanlike values. The argument is made that the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient dominantly controls the difference in the deformation scale between the two fluids and ultimately renders eddies ineffective in maintaining a marginally critical state in the limit of small thermal expansion coefficients.
Demonstration of a Cut-Cell Representation of 3D Orography for Studies of Atmospheric Flows over Very Steep Hills
Authors: Lock Sarah-Jane , Bitzer Heinz-Werner , Coals Alison , Gadian Alan , Mobbs Stephen 
Published: September 2011

Advances in computing are enabling atmospheric models to operate at increasingly fine resolution, giving rise to more variations in the underlying orography being captured by the model grid. Consequently, high-resolution models must overcome the problems associated with traditional terrain-following approaches of spurious winds and instabilities generated in the vicinity of steep and complex terrain. Cut-cell representations of orography present atmospheric models with an alternative to terrain-following vertical coordinates. This work explores the capabilities of a cut-cell representation of orography for idealized orographically forced flows. The orographic surface is represented within the model by continuous piecewise bilinear surfaces that intersect the regular Cartesian grid creating cut cells. An approximate finite-volume method for use with advection-form governing equations is implemented to solve flows through the resulting irregularly shaped grid boxes. Comparison with a benchmark orographic test case for nonhydrostatic flow shows very good results. Further tests demonstrate the cut-cell method for flow around 3D isolated hills and stably resolving flows over very steep orography.

Rod-shaped Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticle Formation by Maturation with AOT
Authors: Oshitani Jun , Kataoka Nobuhide , Yoshida Mikio , Gotoh Kuniaki , Imamura Koreyoshi 
Published: September 2011

Abstract
Amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles were synthesized by mixing aqueous solutions of Ca(NO3)2 and (NH4)2HPO4. Then the particles were matured with sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) at various temperatures. Rod-shaped hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles were formed at maturation temperature ≥40 °C. These results indicate that addition of AOT not during the particles synthesis but during the maturation at more equal critical temperature is a key to form the rod-shaped HAp nanoparticles using AOT.

ABSTRACTIn this contribution, we present an effective strategy for assembling and integrating functional, in situ formed micro- and nanosized structures. Microfluidic platforms are employed to form anisotropic hybrid structures and coordination polymers at the interface of two precursor streams. Microstamps, embedded in the microfluidic device and actuated by pressure, provide a facile and reliable technology for structure trapping, localization and integration.
Binary Data Transmission Performance of Sub-20 nm Indium Antimonide Nanowires

Published: September 2011

ABSTRACTWe investigated the data transmission performance of indium antimonide (InSb) nanowires (NWs) synthesized on InSb (100) substrate using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) having diameters of 20 nm and below. The results indicate that the data transmission performance of NWs suffer from low mobility values on the order of 10-to-15 cm2V-1s-1 because of the scattering due to their small diameters, crystal defects and oxidation occurs during growth and cooling. The 20 nm NWs can sustain data rates up to 5 mega bits per second (Mbps) without any impedance matching and de-embedding of the parasitic parameters coming from the measurement system with a bit error rate (BER) level of 10-8. The data rate is directly proportional to the diameter of the NWs.

Published: September 2011

ABSTRACTWe report the first disposable fluorescent biosensor based on algae, with an organic light emitting diode and an organic photodetector (OPD) miniaturized into a microfluidic chip. A DPVBi OLED was used as the excitation source, while a blend of PTB3/PCBM was used for the organic photodetector. The fluorescence biosensor is integrated in a microfluidic chip made from polymeric materials such as (poly)dimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which is transparent, biocompatible and can easily be processed by conventional lithography. The complete detector is designed to detect Chlamydomonas reinhardtii green algae fluorescence in the microfluidic chamber. Algal chlorophyll fluorescence is a physiological parameter routinely used to measure the photochemical efficiency of PSII. This measurement is a reliable and non-invasive method to determine the toxicity of pollutants like herbicides and metals.
Investigations into Current Modulation Mechanisms in Low Operating Voltage Organic Thin Film Transistors and Their Relationship to the Materials Employed
Authors: Elkington Daniel , Zhou Xiaojing , Belcher Warwick , Dastoor Paul 
Published: September 2011

ABSTRACTSystematic studies have been conducted on the electrical characteristics of poly(3-hexylthiophene)-based organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). The OTFTs have been characterized at low-operating voltages and deductions have been made regarding the current modulation mechanisms involved. Irreproducibility of transfer characteristics in these devices beyond a certain gate voltage, as well as a slow time-dependant component to drain current at certain gate voltages, indicates electrochemical changes occurring in the device during operation. It is hoped that this work can help to improve the understanding of OTFTs of this type and, in turn, their performance in the future.

ABSTRACTWe briefly review our data on MOCVD growth problems of sandwich stacked heterostructures based on Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O and YBa2Cu3O7 high temperature superconductors. Non-superconducting layers were (Ca, Sr)CuO2, (Ca, Ba)CuO2 and Bi4Ti3O12. Structures were with c-axis normal or inclined with about 45° vs. the surface of the substrate. Film-substrate lattice relationship, growth mechanism and the resulting morphology controlling roughness and uniformity, stability domain of the phases and inter diffusion are all important aspects toward significant progress in the field. Our analysis indicates that requirements are more severe for non-c-axis heterostructures, and suggest some ideas for further improvements.
Tuning of Magnetic Properties in Cobalt-Doped Nanocrystalline Bismuth Ferrite

Published: September 2011

ABSTRACTThis study reports on the structural and magnetic characterizations of free-standing bismuth ferrite, BiFeO3, nanoparticles synthesized in polyol medium. Fine tuning of the ferrite magnetic properties was achieved by adding an excess bismuth species or doping with cobalt ions, coupled with thermal annealing. Crystalline Bi1-yCoyFeO3 powders (where ‘y’ ranges from 0.00 to 0.10) were produced after annealing the precursors for one hour at 700οC. The average crystallite size was calculated to be approximately 22 nm. We found that the synthesis under stoichiometric excess of Bi species (up to 10 at.%) promoted a more complete crystallization of the material, i.e., no precursor phases remained. Furthermore, both the saturation magnetization and the coercivity of the synthesized powders were strongly influenced by the concentration of Co. They increased from 0.13 emu/g and 19 Oe to 3.5 emu/g and 1183 Oe for pure BiFeO3 and 10 at.% Co-doped BiFeO3, respectively.

ABSTRACTReflective display technologies aim to enable the delivery of dynamic digital content to devices that have the look and feel of ink on paper. We are presenting herein a novel device architecture design and proprietary electrically addressable inks, which enable low power, disruptive, print-like full color reflective display that can exceed the chromaticity represented by the Specifications for Newsprint Advertising Production (SNAP) standard. We are approaching the challenge of generating bright high-quality reflective color images from the perspective of printing by stacking electro-optic layers of subtractive colorants to address every available color at every location. Using in-plane optical effects, our novel media technology provides fast switching between clear and color states. Thin, flexible electronic media based on this technology has been fabricated by imprinting three-dimensional micro-scale structures with a continuous roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing platform. HP’s combination of novel device architecture, proprietary inks, and R2R manufacturing platform enables the required attributes for electronic media such as flexibility, robustness, low power, transparency, print-quality color, and scalability at low cost. The structure property relationship of surfactants has been carried out; their impact on performance of display devices has been studied. These results have been applied to improve the performance of electronic inks. We have demonstrated 3-layer stacked segmented reflective display prototypes, as well as pixelated stacked color reflective display prototypes. The innovations described in this paper are applicable to electronic skins for customizable electronic surfaces and are currently being developed further for electronic paper and signage markets.
Improved Photocatalytic H2 Evolution from Inorganic/Organic Sacrificial Solution over Ni-Doped (CuIn)0.2Zn1.6S2 Photocatalysts
Authors: Zhang Xianghui , Jing Dengwei , Guo Liejin 
Published: September 2011

ABSTRACTThe Ni-doped (CuIn)0.2Zn1.6S2 photocatalysts were prepared via a two-step ultrasonic-hydrothermal method under an environmental-friendly condition. XRD pattern profiles suggested that Ni2+ successfully doped into (CuIn)0.2Zn1.6S2 lattice. UV-Vis spectra indicated that the optical properties of the photocatalysts greatly depended on the amount of Ni doped. SEM images show that the samples were microspheres. The microsphere structures were gradually damaged with the increment of Ni doping amount. The photoactivity of (CuIn)0.2Zn1.6S2 was enhanced when Ni2+ was doped into the crystal structure. The H2 evolution performance over the prepared samples from inorganic/organic sacrificial solution was systematic investigated.
Multiscale Modeling of a Quantum Dot Heterostructure
Authors: Sengupta P. , Lee S. , Steiger S. , Ryu H. , Klimeck G. 
Published: September 2011

ABSTRACTA multiscale approach was adopted for the calculation of confined states in self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). While results close to experimental data have been obtained with a combination of atomistic strain and tight-binding (TB) electronic structure description for the confined quantum states in the QD, the TB calculation requires substantial computational resources. To alleviate this problem an integrated approach was adopted to compute the energy states from a continuum 8-band k.p Hamiltonian under the influence of an atomistic strain field. Such multiscale simulations yield a roughly six-fold faster simulation. Atomic-resolution strain is added to the k.p Hamiltonian through interpolation onto a coarser continuum grid. Sufficient numerical accuracy is obtained by the multiscale approach. Optical transition wavelengths are within 7% of the corresponding TB results with a proper splitting of p-type sub-bands. The systematically lower emission wavelengths in k.p are attributable to an underestimation of the coupling between the conduction and valence bands.
Hybrid BaTiO3-PVDF Piezoelectric Composites for Vibration Energy Harvesting Applications
Authors: Corral-Flores Veronica , Bueno-Baqués Dario , Ziolo Ronald F 
Published: September 2011

ABSTRACTHybrid piezoelectric composites were obtained by embedding barium titanate (BTO) nanofibers into a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix. Green BTO fibers were obtained by electrospinning a precursor polymeric solution under an electric field of 1 kV/cm. A network of non-woven ceramic BTO fibers was obtained after calcination of the green fibers. A PVDF solution was deposited over the ceramic fibers by spin-coating and then subjected to a low temperature heat treatment, to evaporate the solvent and promote the crystallization of the polar beta phase of PVDF.In average, the diameter of the ceramic fibers ranged from 105 to 225 nm, presenting ribbon-like shape in some cases. Crystalline phases of BTO and PVDF were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy, respectively. Polarization hysteresis curves revealed a ferroelectric behavior in all samples.
