description: A novel type of microencapsulated phase change materials (microPCMs) with n-Octadecane core shelled by styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer were synthesized by the suspension polymerization. The morphologies and chemical compositions of the microPCMs with four different shell-to-core ratios were analyzed via the scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Based on the measurements from the thermogravimetric analyzers and differential scanning calorimetry, the thermal characteristics of the different microPCMs were analyzed. The results show that the sample microPCMs with 2:1 shell-to-core ratio (microPCM3) has good thermal stability and high heat storage capability, with melting enthalpy and encapsulation efficiency measured at 111.5 ± 0.7 J/g and 51.4 ± 0.7 %, respectively, which are the highest among all the prepared samples. The initial weight loss temperature of the microPCM3 increases to 160.5 ℃ compared to 115.5 ℃ for the pure n-Octadecane. Furthermore, we prepared four different building boards with different microPCM3 contents (0, 10, 20, or 30 wt%) in cement matrix. Compared to the conventional building material, the board with 30 wt% microPCM3 can store 67.82% more heat energy in the typical temperature range of 10–50 °C. We investigated the passive cooling and heating effects of the boards under extreme temperature conditions (10–70 °C), as well as their thermal regulation performance under multiple consecutive thermal cycling experiments. Compared with the cement board without addition of microPCM3, the board with 30 wt% microPCM3 has reduced temperature fluctuation by 59.0% with maximum temperature fluctuation only 23.5 °C. It has shown excellent thermal regulation and thermal insulation properties and is of great application potential in energy-saving buildings.

description: Second-generation antipsychotic medications are used to treat schizophrenia and a range of other psychotic disorders, although adverse effects, including cardiovascular and metabolic abnormalities and extrapyramidal symptoms, are often inevitable. Studies have shown that exercise, as an adjunct therapy, can be effective in reducing the core symptoms of schizophrenia as well as ameliorating intrinsic and antipsychotic-induced cardiometabolic abnormalities. However, it is noteworthy that exercise may need to be implemented with caution in some individuals receiving certain antipsychotic treatment regimens. We report here two cases of exercise-associated worsening of extrapyramidal symptoms in two individuals with schizoaffective disorder treated with a long-acting injectable antipsychotic medication over the course of a 12-week exercise program. This worsening of extrapyramidal symptoms can be attributed to an increase in blood flow to the site of injection during exercise, accelerating the rate of absorption and bioavailability of the antipsychotic medication and subsequently increasing dopamine D2 receptor blockade. When monitoring drug therapy for patients receiving long-acting injectable antipsychotic medications, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals need to consider exercise as a contributing factor for the emergence of extrapyramidal symptoms.

description: An institutional repository is, among other things, a means to preserve an organization's scholarly output or resources in a variety of digital media and across disciplines. Administrative metadata is critical to the preservation of these digital resources. This study, which surveyed fifty-four Association of Research Libraries (ARL) institutional repositories about their administrative metadata, was designed to create a snapshot of current metadata practices. It revealed no true consensus of administrative metadata accommodated and collected by the repositories. Moreover, responses throughout the survey indicate that in general, organizations are neither accommodating nor recording administrative metadata to any significant extent. If research libraries are to provide permanent, organized and secure repositories for institutional scholarship and special collections, they must identify core metadata in the context of repository objectives, explore barriers to collection of administrative metadata, and strategize as to how those barriers might be mitigated or overcome.

description: The deep drawability of additively manufactured stainless steel sheets with a core structure is investigated. By fracture forming limit diagrams it is shown that the additively manufactured sheets reveal good formability. The deep drawing process is analyzed numerically and the numerical models are validated experimentally. The main failure mode is a fracture of the face sheets. No severe deformation of the core structure was encountered, leading to the fact that the parts keep their structural integrity after the deep drawing process. It is shown that the process forces can reasonably be predicted by a modified Siebel’s method. A process window diagram is derived, e.g. showing a maximum deep drawing ratio βmax = 1.4 for honeycomb structures with a relative core density of ρcore = 0.22.

description: Freelancers working on digital labor platforms have to deal with many challenges. IT freelancers should be considered separately due to special characteristics such as high skill level or collaborative nature of IT work. Through a Latent Dirichlet Allocation analysis of 2804 forum posts with over 20,000 comments from IT freelancers and additional qualitative analysis, we assign themes to each identified topic, cluster them into aggregated dimensions, and illustrate the interrelationships in a model of IT freelancing. Thus, we examine the challenges of IT freelancers and synthesize them. We extend the challenges of online freelancing already outlined in the literature and identify four IT-specific challenges for IT freelancers. Therefore, we improve our understanding of how IT work is performed on digital labor platforms and which particular aspects should be considered in future research. Furthermore, we highlight implications for practitioners, i.e., IT freelancers on the one hand and platform owners on the other hand.

description: Given n points f'xi,yi)} in the plane we study the problem of fitting the minimum median squared residual (MM2 R) line. This involves the study of the function fia,g) = median(Jyj - (a + Oxfl); it is piecewise linear and can have a quadratic number of local minima. Several algorithms that locate a minimizer of f are presented. The best of these has time complexity 0(n3) in the worst case. Our most practical algorithm appears to be one which has worst case behavior of only 0(n3 log(n)), but which we conjecture to have expected time complexity 0((n log(n))2 ). Generalizations to k dimensions are mentioned.

 Anisops occipitalis Breddin, 1905; Brooks, 1951; (redescription); Lansbury, 1965; Fernando & Cheng, 1974.
 Diagnosis. – Macropterous, pale yellowish to grey, somewhat fusiform, greatest width at the level of apex of scutellum.
Length, male 6.6-8.1, female 6.6-8.3; width, male 1.6-2.2 female 1.6-2.4. Width of head 0.8-0.9 times the humeral width of pronotum and 5-6.5 times the anterior width of vertex.
Male. In dorsal view, head anteriorly truncate to slightly rounded, vertex level with anterior margin of eyes. Synthlipsis wide, 0.4-0.5 times the anterior width of vertex. Rostral prong longer than third rostral segment, originating near its distal margin. Tylus slightly swollen, labrum covered with short hairs. Forefemur broadly rounded apically, dorsal margin with a wide shallow indentation in apical third. Tibial comb with about 20-25 teeth decreasing in width from base to apex.
Female. In dorsal view, head anteriorly truncate, vertex level with anterior margin of the eyes. Synthlipsis 0.5-0.7 times the anterior width of vertex. Tylus flat, labrum bare.
 Brachypterous form, not recorded from Malaysia, Sumatra and Java. However, Lansbury (1965) suggested that A. leucotheca Esaki, occurring from the Solomon Isles to Samoa, may represent the brachypterous form of this species.
 Remarks. – Usually recognizable by its length, intermediate between A. barbatus which is larger and the other species which are smaller. [Small females of A. barbatus may be of the same length as large females of A. occipitalis but they are broader, width 2.8 or more, whereas A. occipitalis females have a maximum width of 2.4. Females of the smaller species have a narrower synthlipsis].
 Distribution. – From West Malaysia through Indonesia to Australia (Lansbury, 1965). Fernando & Cheng (1974) and Fernando & Leong (1976) recorded this species colonizing ponds from Johor. In the ZRC there is a sample from Singapore [Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, 13 Dec.1996, coll. T. Wong, H. K. Lua et al., 3 males 3 females and a single female Singapore at light May 1992], first record for Singapore. In addition specimens from Johor, Melaka, Pahang and Perak.

Finding the Two-Core of a Tree

name: Perl, Yehoshua
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1982

description: The 1-core of a graph is a path minimizing the sum of the distances of all vertices of the graph from the path. A linear algorithm for finding a 1-core of a tree was presented by Morgan and Slater. The problem for general graphs is NP-Hard. A 2-core of a graph is a set of two paths minimizing the sum of the distances of all vertices of the graph from any of the two paths. We consider both cases of disjoint paths and intersecting paths for a tree. Interesting relations between 1-core and 2-core of a tree are found. These relations imply efficient algorithms for finding the 2-core. The complexity of the algorithms is O(IVI.d(T)) where d(T) is the number of edges in the diameter of the tree. These algorithms are applicable for routing highways in a system of roads. A w-point core is a path minimizing the sum of the distances of all vertices of the graph from either the vertex w or the path. A linear algorithm for finding a w-point core of a tree is presented. It is applied as a procedure for the previous algorithms.

description: This work presents a new approach for using a first order theory to generate procedures for solving goal satisfaction problems without using general theorem proving. The core of the problem solving system has three basic components: an inference mechanism based on residues, a control structure for "means-end" analysis that uses natural deduction, and a generalization scheme That-is based on the structure of statements in the domain theory itself. The work represents a beginning in the development of knowledge-based systems that can generate their own problem solving programs, evolve with experience and adapt to a changing domain theory.

description: Surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) is integrated into a whispering-gallery mode (WGM) optical microsensor to augment sensitivity in this study. The performance of such WGM silica ring sensors of 20 mu m in size with an Ag or Au metal core was evaluated for detection of small respiratory viruses such as COVID-19 via the finite-element modeling. Compared with pure WGM sensors, the integration with SPR enhances sensitivity by 3-5 times and facilitates combination with the polymerase chain reaction method to achieve fast, accurate, and specific virus detection. The presence of a single respiratory virus of 70 to 100 nm in diameter in air environment could shift the sensor resonance wavelength by 36 to 64 pm in the case of an Au metal core or by 34 to 63 pm of an Ag metal core. With use of a general-purpose optical analyzer of 10 pm resolution, a single airborne virus of 20 nm in size is detectable using the proposed hybrid sensor. This corresponds to about 0.005 vol. %. For viruses in aqueous solution, the detection limit rises to about 0.2 vol. %. A fundamental enhancement factor based on relative electric energy ratio is introduced and defined to analyze and quantify sensitivity enhancement for the first time, to the best of our knowledge.

description: Background As part of a larger study focused on interventions to enhance the capacity of nurses and other health care workers to provide equity-oriented care in emergency departments (EDs), we conducted an analysis of news media related to three EDs. The purpose of the analysis was to examine how media writers frame issues pertaining to nursing, as well as the health and social inequities that drive emergency department contexts, while considering what implications these portrayals hold for nursing practice. Methods We conducted a search of media articles specific to three EDs in Canada, published between January 1, 2018 and May 1, 2019. Media items (N = 368) were coded by story and theme attributes. A thematic analysis was completed to understand how writers in public media present issues pertaining to nursing practice within the ED context. Results Two overarching themes were found. First, in ED-related media that portrays health care needs of people experiencing health and social inequities, messaging frequently perpetuates stigmatizing discourses. Second, media writers portray pressures experienced by nurses working in the ED in a way that evades structural determinants of quality of care. Underlying both themes is an absence of perspectives and authorship from practicing nurses themselves. Conclusions We recommend that frontline nurses be prioritized as experts in public media communications. Nurses must be supported to gain critical media skills to contribute to media, to destigmatize the health care needs of people experiencing inequity who attend their practice, and to shed light on the structural causes of pressures experienced by nurses working within emergency department settings.

We present an O(kn^4 ) time and O(kn^3 ) space algorithm for finding a match of P into T or determining that no match exists, given that P is separable, i.e. contains neither (2, 4, 1, 3) nor (3, 1, 4, 2) as a subpattern.
The use of directives to repair embodied (mis)understandings in interactions with individuals diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia

description: This paper investigates caregivers’ use of directives to repair embodied engagements of individuals diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. High entitlement/low contingency (HE/LC) formats (e.g., imperatives) are consistently employed to elicit an alternative engagement in a current course of action that is treated as required for the accomplishment of an ongoing activity. In selecting directive formats, caregivers appear to orient to whether the alternative engagement is essential for the completion of an activity, how urgent or time-sensitive it is for the activity’s progressivity, and whether the current engagement is of a compulsive-type. Less essential, less urgent engagements elicit slightly mitigated formats, and compulsive-type engagements are repaired with multiple directives. The affordance of HE/LC directives in activity-focused contexts is that they explicitly identify the trouble source and often articulate the next action required for the activity’s progression. Additionally HE/LC formats expect compliance, which may minimally derail the progressivity of an activity compared to more mitigated forms. HE/LC formats in activity repair contexts reveal caregivers’ claimed rights to determine another’s actions as well as sensitivity to the activity requirements and progression. Data are in American English.

description: We analyze perinatal data including biometric and obstetric information as well as data on maternal smoking, among others. Birth weight is the primarily interesting response variable. Gestational age is usually an important covariate and included in polynomial form. However, in opposition to this univariate regression, bivariate modeling of birth weight and gestational age is recommended to distinguish effects on each, on both, and between them. Rather than a parametric bivariate distribution, we apply conditional copula regression, where the marginal distributions of birth weight and gestational age (not necessarily of the same form) and the dependence structure are modeled conditionally on covariates. In the resulting distributional regression model, all parameters of the two marginals and the copula parameter are observation specific. While the Gaussian distribution is suitable for birth weight, the skewed gestational age data are better modeled by the three-parameter Dagum distribution. The Clayton copula performs better than the Gumbel and the symmetric Gaussian copula, indicating lower tail dependence (stronger dependence when both variables are low), although this non-linear dependence between birth weight and gestational age is surprisingly weak and only influenced by Cesarean section. A non-linear trend of birth weight on gestational age is detected by a univariate model that is polynomial with respect to the effect of gestational age. Covariate effects on the expected birth weight are similar in our copula regression model and a univariate regression model, while distributional copula regression reveals further insights, such as effects of covariates on the association between birth weight and gestational age.

description: Il riconoscimento dell’intrinseca moralità della vita associata è particolarmente rilevante nei complessi scenari socio-politici in cui viviamo e in cui è in atto un intenso dibattito sulla natura e sul significato della democrazia.

Dewey ha concepito la democrazia come un compito individuale e sociale ma anche come impegno morale per la crescita umana sulla scorta di una “moralità riflessiva” il che sostanzia il suo strettissimo rapporto con l’educazione. Egli ha inoltre identificato l’indagine riflessiva come la matrice dell’agire morale e come metodo per la ricostruzione sociale nella misura in cui consente di promuovere la giustizia ed i processi di inclusione sociale attraverso l’esplorazione condivisa dei problemi individuali e collettivi. Il pensatore americano ha inoltre indicato la necessita di stabilire nuove forme di relazione tra lo sviluppo economico,  la scuola e la società affidando all’educazione un ruolo centrale per la realizzazione di società realmente inclusive ed anticipando alcune questioni centrali nel dibattito contemporaneo sullo sviluppo umano e sociale, il che offre significativi orientamenti pedagogici in merito al dibattito sull’educazione alla cittadinanza democratica.

description: Diamond and cubic polymorph of boron nitride (c-BN) are two promising next-generation ultrawide bandgap semiconductor materials owning superior thermal properties. Although lattice vibration is the dominant mechanism of heat conduction in semiconductors, electron-phonon interactions exist and may affect phonon transport in doped semiconductors; yet such effects in wide bandgap materials have not received much attention. In this study, we explore the effects of electron-phonon interactions on the lattice thermal conductivity and phonon transport in n-doped Si, diamond, and c-BN under various electron concentrations and in a wide temperature range from 300 K to 900 K based on the first-principles calculation. It is found that the electron-phonon interactions will bring down the thermal conductivity of doped materials, and the depletion impact increases as the electron concentration increases but decreases as the temperature increases. This depression effect in ultrawide bandgap diamond and c-BN is apparent, though it is not as severe as in Si. At room temperature with a high electron concentration of 1021 cm−3, the reduction of thermal conductivity reaches 36 % in Si, and 17.4 % and 16.1 % in diamond and c-BN, respectively.
description: •Thermal effect of electron-phonon interactions in doped c-BN and diamond is revealed.

description: We propose a novel architecture, Grassroots, for collecting, disseminating, and querying information about the physical world. The Grassroots architecture consists of a massive number of individual agents called dataflies, which move around, collect, summarize, and query information about their immediate physical environments. We make use of this architecture in developing a system for collecting and disseminating real-time traffic information. Such a system would prevent traffic congestion from building up. Today a number of commercial solutions exist for disseminating traffic information (e.g., Traffic.com, Metrocommute, EtakTraffic). However, these solutions are plagued by prohibitive deployment and maintenance cost that prevents widespread deployment. As a result, these solutions cover select highways while leaving out major fractions of the highways. In this paper we present our vision of a low cost, highly scalable zero-infrastructure system for collecting and disseminating information about traffic conditions. Our goal is to devise a system that can cover the entire road network of US. We describe the proposed architecture for the system, and evaluate it using realistic model of transportation network and realistic traffic conditions.

description: This study explores the impact of competition from international trade on the gender wage gap in Taiwan and South Korea between 1980 and 1999. The dynamic implications of Becker’s 1959 theory of discrimination lead one to expect that increased competition from international trade reduces the incentive for employers to discriminate against women. This effect should be more pronounced in concentrated sectors of the economy, where employers can use excess profits to cover the costs of discrimination. Alternatively, wage discrimination may increase with growing trade limiting women’s ability to achieve wage gains. The empirical strategy controls for differences in market structure across industries in order to isolate the effect of competition from international trade. Estimation results are not consistent with Becker’s theory, as greater international competition in concentrated sectors is associated with larger wage gaps between men and women.

title:  Democrazia ed educazione. Il confronto fra marxisti e attivisti negli anni Sessanta
Creators: name: Covato, Carmela
Publisher: name: RomaTrE-Press
Year: 2017

description: Il contributo prende in esame l’evoluzione della scena pedagogica italiana, a partire dal secondo dopoguerra, quando, dopo anni, quelli del fascismo, di silenzi e di  censure  si sviluppò un acceso dibattito sul ruolo sociale dell’educazione. Si tratta di una discussione   che ebbe un ruolo assai importante, sul piano politico e culturale, proprio negli anni Sessanta.

L’analisi si sofferma soprattutto sulle analogie e sulle differenze che hanno caratterizzato la pedagogia laica e attivistica ispirata al pensiero di Dewey e il significato dell’emergere di un orientamento marxista teso a costruire un preciso nesso fra educazione e trasformazione sociale.

Pur operando entrambi gli orientamenti all’interno dell’area laica, non mancarono scontri e incomprensioni ma si registrarono anche, su alcuni temi, significative convergenze.

description: Given that international collaborative efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are urgent and crucial, a critical understanding of challenges and opportunities of linking China’s newly established national ETS with existing domestic or regional ETSs is essential in order to achieve global emission targets, and may attract other jurisdictions to join in global carbon market development. In this backdrop, we analyzed the experiences, lessons, and insights from three key global carbon markets, namely North America, the EU and China, in terms of the barriers to linking the global carbon market, with a focus on China, using thematic analysis. The four most commonly cited linkage design elements (barriers) were the legal basis; monitoring, reporting, and verification; political feasibility; and the price-management mechanism. Like-minded jurisdictions with similar political views and design features will have a higher chance of linking. Additionally, sustaining market liquidity, widening sectoral coverage, minimizing carbon leakage, ensuring offset quality, and a transparent allowance and cap setting rules are crucial steps towards linkage. These outcomes can be used as an ETS linkage-ready design framework for CETS and ETS under development to overcome barriers to future international ETS linkages.
Analytical formulation of 3D dynamic homogenization for periodic elastic systems

description: Homogenization of the equations of motion for a three dimensional periodic elastic system is considered. Expressions are obtained for the fully dynamic effective material parameters governing the spatially averaged fields by using the plane wave expansion (PWE) method. The effective equations are of Willis form [1] with coupling between momentum and stress and tensorial inertia. The formulation demonstrates that the Willis equations of elastodynamics are closed under homogenization. The effective material parameters are obtained for arbitrary frequency and wavenumber combinations, including but not restricted to Bloch wave branches for wave propagation in the periodic medium. Numerical examples for a 1D system illustrate the frequency dependence of the parameters on Bloch wave branches and provide a comparison with an alternative dynamic effective medium theory [2] which also reduces to Willis form but with different effective moduli.

Another aspect to focus has always been the "Health Industry" and to create a robust health management system-preferably by the use of echnology. The interlinkages of the viability of Electronic Health Records in India have beenassessedby the authors while effectuating the principle of Doctor-Patient Confidentiality which is practiced in the medical field. Taking cue fom there, brief aspects of violations and/or protection of the fundamental right to privacy have also beenassessedin the garb of Electronic Health Records. The policy debates that surround the usage of electronic health records vis-à-vis the right to privacy have been explored and a way forward has been concluded.
Pool boiling on defective graphene−coated surfaces: a molecular dynamics study
Creators: name: Min, Jue

Year: 2021
Subjects: Heat Transfer

description: Proven to have superior mechanical and thermal properties, graphene has the potential to enhance the boiling heat transfer performance as a coating material. As defective graphene is inevitably produced together with pristine graphene, however, it is more practical to examine the impact of defective graphene. In the current work, a molecular dynamics simulation was adopted to investigate water pool boiling on copper substrate coated with five types of stable defective graphene monolayer. The results show that most of the cases coated with defective graphene have higher initial heat flux and reach equilibrium faster than the pristine graphene−coated case under the isothermal heating condition. Nevertheless, the percentage of pentagon-heptagon defect in the graphene unit cell does not have a clear correlation with its heat transfer performance. In particular, all the graphene coatings enhance the critical heat flux (CHF) value for water boiling by nearly two orders of magnitude, regardless of defectiveness. This is of practical significance to enable graphene thermal management applications.

description: Drawing on a multilevel model of motivation in work groups and a functionalist perspective of citizenship and socially responsible behaviors, we developed and tested a multilevel model of voluntary workplace green behavior that explicates some of the reasons why employees voluntarily engage in green behavior at work. For a sample of 325 office workers organized into 80 work groups in three firms, we found that conscientiousness and moral reflectiveness were associated with the voluntary workplace green behavior of group leaders and individual group members. Furthermore, we found a direct relationship between leader green behavior and the green behavior of individual subordinates as well as an indirect relationship mediated by green advocacy within work groups. Our theory and findings shed new light on the psychological and social conditions and processes that shape voluntary workplace green behavior in organizational settings and suggest implications for organizations striving to improve their social responsibility and environmental sustainability.

description: This thesis investigates the impact of elevated carbon dioxide levels on population heterogeneity in Corynebacterium glutamicum, a widely used industrial production host. Through a series of experiments involving cultivation at varying CO2 partial pressures, flow cytometry, and analysis of DNA content, the research reveals that increased CO2 exerts significant selection pressure, affecting growth rates and cell aggregation tendencies. Key findings indicate that higher growth rates speed up DNA replication levels, while elevated CO2 levels slow them down. The results contribute to understanding how CO2 influences population dynamics, providing insights for optimizing industrial bioprocesses and support Corynebacterium glutamicum as a robust production strain.
description: In dieser Arbeit werden die Auswirkungen erhöhter Kohlendioxidkonzentrationen auf die Populationsheterogenität von Corynebacterium glutamicum, einem weit verbreiteten industriellen Produktionsstamm, untersucht. Durch eine Reihe von Experimenten, welche die Kultivierung bei unterschiedlichen CO2-Partialdrücken, Durchflusszytometrie und die Analyse des DNA-Gehalts umfassen, zeigt die Forschung, dass erhöhtes CO2 einen erheblichen Selektionsdruck ausübt, der sich auf die Wachstumsraten und die Tendenz zur Zellaggregation auswirkt. Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass höhere Wachstumsraten die DNA-Replikationsraten beschleunigen, während erhöhte CO2-Werte sie verlangsamen. Die Ergebnisse tragen zum Verständnis des Einflusses von CO2 auf die Populationsdynamik bei, liefern Erkenntnisse für die Optimierung industrieller Bioprozesse und unterstützen Corynebacterium als robusten Produktionsstamm.
