description: Viruses with pandemic potential including H1N1, H5N1, and H5N7 influenza viruses, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)/Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronaviruses (CoV) have emerged in recent years. SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and influenza virus can survive on surfaces for extended periods, sometimes up to months. Factors influencing the survival of these viruses on surfaces include: strain variation, titre, surface type, suspending medium, mode of deposition, temperature and relative humidity, and the method used to determine the viability of the virus. Environmental sampling has identified contamination in field-settings with SARS-CoV and influenza virus, although the frequent use of molecular detection methods may not necessarily represent the presence of viable virus. The importance of indirect contact transmission (involving contamination of inanimate surfaces) is uncertain compared with other transmission routes, principally direct contact transmission (independent of surface contamination), droplet, and airborne routes. However, influenza virus and SARS-CoV may be shed into the environment and be transferred from environmental surfaces to hands of patients and healthcare providers. Emerging data suggest that MERS-CoV also shares these properties. Once contaminated from the environment, hands can then initiate self-inoculation of mucous membranes of the nose, eyes or mouth. Mathematical and animal models, and intervention studies suggest that contact transmission is the most important route in some scenarios. Infection prevention and control implications include the need for hand hygiene and personal protective equipment to minimize self-contamination and to protect against inoculation of mucosal surfaces and the respiratory tract, and enhanced surface cleaning and disinfection in healthcare settings.

description: The aim of this paper is to propose a novel building information model (BIM)–building performance model (BPM)–building environmental model (BEM) framework to identify the most energy-efficient and cost-effective strategies for the renovation of existing education buildings to achieve the nearly zero-energy goal while minimizing the environmental impact. A case building, the University of Maryland’s Architecture Building, was used to demonstrate the validity of the framework and a set of building performance indicators—including energy performance, environmental impacts, and occupant satisfaction—were used to evaluate renovation strategies. Additionally, this novel framework further demonstrated the interoperability among different digital tools and platforms. Lastly, following a detailed analysis and measurements, the case study results highlighted a particular energy profile as well as the retrofit needs of education buildings. Eight different renovation packages were analyzed with the top-ranking package indicating an energy saving of 62%, carbon emissions reduction of 84%, and long-term cost savings of 53%, albeit with a relatively high initial cost. The most preferable package ranked second in all categories, with a moderate initial cost.

description: This paper presents a novel approach to recognize Grantha, an ancient script in South India and converting it to Malayalam, a prevalent language in South India using online character recognition mechanism. The motivation behind this work owes its credit to (i) developing a mechanism to recognize Grantha script in this modern world and (ii) affirming the strong connection among Grantha and Malayalam. A framework for the recognition of Grantha script using online character recognition is designed and implemented. The features extracted from the Grantha script comprises mainly of time-domain features based on writing direction and curvature. The recognized characters are mapped to corresponding Malayalam characters. The framework was tested on a bed of medium length manuscripts containing 9-12 sample lines and printed pages of a book titled Soundarya Lahari writtenin Grantha by Sri Adi Shankara to recognize the words and sentences. The manuscript recognition rates with the system are for Grantha as 92.11%, Old Malayalam 90.82% and for new Malayalam script 89.56%. The recognition rates of pages of the printed book are for Grantha as 96.16%, Old Malayalam script 95.22% and new Malayalam script as 92.32% respectively. These results show the efficiency of the developed system.

description: We theoretically investigate spin decoherence of a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. Using the spin coherent state P-representation method, coherence evolution of the NV center surrounded by nitrogen electron spins (N) is simulated. We find that spin decoherence time as well as free-induction decay of the NV center depend on the spatial configuration of N spins. Both the spin decoherence rate (1/T2) and dephasing rate (1/T2*) of the NV center increase linearly with the concentration of the N spins. Using the P-representation method, we also demonstrate extracting noise spectrum of the N spin bath, which will provide promising pathways for designing an optimum pulse sequence to suppress the decoherence in diamond.

description: Strong shocks propagating into a partially ionized medium are often associated with optical Balmer lines. This emission is due to impact excitation of neutral hydrogen by hot protons and electrons in the shocked gas. The structure of such Balmer-dominated shocks has been computed in a previous paper (Blasi et al. 2012), where the distribution function of neutral particles was derived from the appropriate Boltzmann equation including coupling with ions and electrons through charge exchange and ionization. This calculation showed how the presence of neutrals can significantly modify the shock structure through the formation of a "neutral-induced" precursor ahead of the shock. Here we follow up on our previous work and investigate the properties of the resulting Balmer emission, with the aim of using the observed radiation as a diagnostic tool for shock parameters. Our main focus is on Supernova Remnant shocks, and we find that, for typical parameters, the Hα emission typically has a three-component spectral profile, where: 1) a narrow component originates from upstream cold hydrogen atoms, 2) a broad component comes from hydrogen atoms that have undergone charge exchange with shocked protons downstream of the shock, and 3) an intermediate component is due to hydrogen atoms that have undergone charge exchange with warm protons in the neutral-induced precursor. The width of the intermediate line reflects the temperature in the precursor, while the width of the narrow one is left unaltered by the precursor. In addition, we show that the profiles of both the intermediate and broad components generally depart from a thermal distribution. Finally, we show that a significant amount of Balmer emission can be produced in the precursor region if efficient electron heating takes place.

description: In this work, we propose an explicit analytical equation to show the variation of top gate threshold voltage with respect to the JFET bottom gate voltage for a Flexible Threshold Voltage Field Effect Transistor (Flexible-FET) by solving 2-D Poisson's equation with appropriate boundary conditions, incorporating Young's parabolic approximation. The proposed model illustrates excellent match with the experimental results for both n-channel and p-channel 180nm Flexible-FETs. Threshold voltage variation with several important device parameters (oxide and silicon channel thickness, doping concentration) is observed which yields qualitative matching with results obtained from SILVACO simulations.

description: Detecting the photons emitted from single quantum objects is highly desired to diagnose nano-scale devices. It has been, however, believed very difficult to sense single atoms in optical spectroscopy due to the inferior detection efficiency. We demonstrate here the successful detection of the characteristic x-ray signals from single Er atoms in energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Highly focused electron probe in an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) was used to excite the single Er atoms aligned in carbon cages, namely the peapod. The intensities of Er L and M lines from single Er atom were found to be 104 ~ 105 times less than that of the N-edge of electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), suggesting the intrinsic difficulty to sense single atoms in X-ray spectroscopy. Nevertheless, this work will certainly ensure the possibilities to obtain X-ray spectra from single atoms and to evaluate the fluorescence yield at single atom basis, therefore the technique will likely find wide fields of applications in nano-physics research.

description: It is reported that the phase time of particles which are reflected by a one-dimensional semi-harmonic well includes a time delay term which is negative for definite intervals of the incoming energy. In this interval, the absolute value of the negative time delay becomes larger as the incident energy becomes smaller. The model is a rectangular well with zero potential energy at its right and a harmonic-like interaction at its left.

description: Novel, non-coevolved associations between introduced plants and native insect herbivores may lead to changes in trophic interactions in native communities, as well as to substantial economic problems. Although some studies in invasion ecology demonstrated that native herbivores can preferentially feed on introduced plants and therefore contribute to the biotic resistance of native communities to plant invasions, the role of acridid grasshoppers as native generalist insect herbivores is largely overlooked. This systematic review aimed to identify patterns of grasshopper feeding preferences for native versus introduced plants and, consequently, a potential of grasshoppers to provide biotic resistance of native communities. The analysis of 63 records of feeding preference trials for 28 North-American grasshopper species (retrieved from 2146 studies published during 1967–2017) has demonstrated a preference of grasshoppers for introduced host plants, and identified 12 preferred introduced plants with high or middle invasive ranks. A significant effect of the life stage (p < 0.001), but not the experimental environment, plant material, and measurements, on grasshopper preferences for introduced plants was also detected. Overall, results suggest a potential of acridid grasshoppers to contribute to the biotic resistance of native communities. The review also provides methodological recommendations for future experimental studies on grasshopper-host plant interactions.

description: Monitoring the cold and productive waters of the Gulf of Maine and their interactions with the nearby northwestern (NW) Atlantic shelf is important but challenging. Although remotely sensed sea surface temperature (SST), ocean color, and sea level have become routine, much of the water exchange physics is reflected in salinity fields. The recent invention of satellite salinity sensors, including the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) radiometer, opens new prospects in regional shelf studies. However, local sea surface salinity (SSS) retrieval is challenging due to both cold SST limiting salinity sensor sensitivity and proximity to land. For the NW Atlantic, our analysis shows that SMAP SSS is subject to an SST-dependent bias that is negative and amplifies in winter and early spring due to the SST-related drop in SMAP sensor sensitivity. On top of that, SMAP SSS is subject to a land contamination bias. The latter bias becomes noticeable and negative when the antenna land contamination factor (LC) exceeds 0.2%, and attains maximum negative values at LC = 0.4%. Coastward of LC = 0.5%, a significant positive land contamination bias in absolute SMAP SSS is evident. SST and land contamination bias components are seasonally dependent due to seasonal changes in SST/winds and terrestrial microwave properties. Fortunately, it is shown that SSS anomalies computed relative to a satellite SSS climatology can effectively remove such seasonal biases along with the real seasonal cycle. SMAP monthly SSS anomalies have sufficient accuracy and applicability to extend nearer to the coasts. They are used to examine the Gulf of Maine water inflow, which displayed important water intrusions in between Georges Banks and Nova Scotia in the winters of 2016/17 and 2017/18. Water intrusion patterns observed by SMAP are generally consistent with independent measurements from the European Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission. Circulation dynamics related to the 2016/2017 period and enhanced wind-driven Scotian Shelf transport into the Gulf of Maine are discussed.

description: While a considerable and world-wide growth of the nuclear share in the global energy mix is desirable for many reasons, there are also, in particular in the "old world" major objections. These are both concerns about safety, in particular in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear accident and concerns about the long-term burden that is constituted by the radiotoxic waste from the spent fuel. With regard to the second topic, the present contribution will outline the concept of Partitioning & Transmutation (P&T), as scientific and technological answer. Deployment of P&T may use dedicated "Transmuter" or "Burner" reactors, using a fast neutron spectrum. For the transmutation of waste with a large content (up to 50%) of (very long-lived) Minor Actinides, a sub-critical reactor, using an external neutron source is a most attractive solution. It is constituted by coupling a proton accelerator, a spallation target and a subcritical core. This promising new technology is named ADS, for accelerator-driven system. The present paper aims at a short introduction into the field that has been characterized by a high collaborative activity during the last decade in Europe, in order to focus, in its later part, on the MYRRHA project as the European ADS technology demonstrator.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between kinematic variables at the knee, hip, and trunk during a single-leg step-down test (SDT) and running. Twenty-five healthy subjects (12 male, 13 female) participated in the study; mean ± SD age, 32.8 ± 5.9 years; height, 173.9 ± 8.7 cm; body mass, 70.84 ± 11.3 kg; run volume, 59.5 ± 30.4 km/wk; cadence, 173.1 ± 11.5 steps/min). Dominant leg peak knee flexion was identified during the run (PKF-RUN) and used to find frontal plane knee and hip, and sagittal plane trunk angles. The same treadmill-matched knee flexion angle for the run was used to find the knee flexion angle identified during the SDT (TMKF-SDT). Knee, hip, and trunk angles were also identified at the point of the SDT where the heel made contact with the ground (HEEL-SDT). Two separate two-tailed paired samples t-tests were used to analyze the difference between the means of each test condition and Pearson Product Correlation coefficients were computed for each condition. Statistics revealed significant differences in frontal plane knee and hip angles between PKF-RUN (6.18 degrees ± 8.90) and TMKF-SDT (8.13 degrees ± 8.88), t(24) = -2.21, p = 0.037 for frontal plane knee adduction, and; PKF-RUN (11.14 degrees ± 3.22) and TMKF-SDT (6.48 degrees ± 4.53), t(24) = 6.17, p < 0.0001 for frontal plane hip adduction. There were significant differences between mean PKF-RUN (6.18 degrees ± 8.90) and HEEL-SDT (16.65 degrees ± 12.60), t(24) = -6.79, p < 0.0001 frontal plane knee adduction, and; PKF-RUN (11.14 degrees ± 3.22) and HEEL-SDT (17.84 degrees ± 5.63), t(24) = -6.45, p < 0.0001 for frontal plane hip adduction. No significant differences were found between mean PKF-RUN (6.44 degrees ± 3.67) and TMKF-SDT (6.33 degrees ± 6.46), t(24) = 0.104, p = 0.918 sagittal plane trunk flexion. There were significant differences between mean PKF-RUN (6.44 degrees ± 3.67) and HEEL-SDT (10.32 degrees ± 10.04), t(24) = -2.19, p = 0.039 sagittal plane trunk flexion. Correlations between PKF-RUN and TMKF-SDT were strong in the knee (r = 0.88, p < 0.0001, R2 = 0.768) and moderate in the hip (r = 0.57, p = 0.003, R2 = 0.325). Correlations between PKF-RUN and HEEL-SDT were strong in the knee (r = 0.80, p < 0.0001, R2 = 0.634) and fair in the hip (r = 0.42, p = 0.038, R2 = 0.175). For the trunk, correlations between PKF-RUN and TMKF-SDT were moderate (r = 0.53, p = 0.006, R2 = 0.285) and correlations between PKF-RUN and HEEL-SDT were fair-to-moderate (r = 0.49, p = 0.014, R2 = 0.237). The SDT and running may not be directly relatable to one another in the knee and hip. The trunk is also not relatable to running at the bottom of the SDT. Clinicians should use caution when utilizing the SDT.

description:
The Bowers Supergroup of northern Victoria Land, Antarctica is at least 6.5 km thick and consists of Solidarity, Molar, and Glasgow Formations of the Middle Cambrian Sledgers Group; Middle to late Cambrian Mariner Group; and Middle Ordovician Leap Year Group. The Solidarity Formation is at least 0.4 km thick and consists of submarine tholeiites. The Molar Formation is up to 2.7 km thick and consists of slope-facies turbidites in its southwesternmost extent and shelf-facies sediments in its northeasternmost extent. Sediment provenance was the Glasgow Formation and a continental landmass lying northeast of the southwestern sloping Bowers basin. The Glasgow Formation is up to 2.7 km thick and consists of tholeiitic and calc-alkaline basalts to rhyolites erupted along a magmatic arc probably related to eastward subduction. The Mariner Group is a regressive marine sequence deposited during tectonic quiescence. The Leap Year Group rests unconformably on the Mariner and Sledgers Groups and consists of up to 2.5 km of molasse derived in part from the Granite Harbour Intrusives. The Bowers Supergroup was folded about N30ºW axes, metamorphosed to the prehnite-pumpellyite facies, then tectonically juxtaposed by strike slip faults between the Wilson and Robertson Bay terranes.

Deposition of the Leap Year Group, folding, metamorphism, and faulting occurred between 480 to 425 Ma and were the results of collision between the Wilson and Bowers terranes representing the Ross Orogeny in northern Victoria Land. Between 420 and 384 Ma, refolding about N60ºE axes, normal faulting, and the emplacement of the Admiralty Intrusives occurred during the Borchgrevink Event by which time the terranes may have become stitched. The allochthonous nature of the rocks of the Bowers Supergroup may preclude their correlation with those of the Dundas Trough in Tasmanis.

description:
The Upper Eocene (Refugian) Quimper Sandstone and overlying Marrowstone Shale document approximately 300 meters of sediment deposited in a tectonically active, shallow marine area during a transgression. The Quimper Sandstone and Marrowstone Shale can be roughly divided into three facies, representing deposition from outer shore face and inner shelf to offshore or outer shelf.

Petrographic analysis of the Quimper Sandstone and Marrowstone Shale indicates geography and hydrodynamic conditions were responsible for a slight petrologic trend in composition such as more feldspar and lithic grains in the lower energy facies. The sandstones are lithic and feldspathic arenites and wackes with abundant feldspars and volcanic lithic fragments. The petrology requires source areas with granitic rocks, andesite, basalt, and chert exposed. Possible source areas include the Crescent Formation, the Coast Plutonic Complex, the San Juan Islands, Vancouver Island, and the North Cascades.

Deposition of the Quimper Sandstone and Marrowstone Shale marks the culmination of movement on the Discovery Bay Fault Zone. These sediments are found overlying the fault zone but not apparently offset by it. Bedding attitudes are consistent across the fault zone. The Discovery Bay Fault Zone has been suggested to be a tectonic suture between the Crescent Terrane and local Tertiary North America. The arrival and subsequent docking of the Crescent Terrane is coincident with a plate reorganization along with a decrease in convergence rates between the Farallon and North American plates. Cessation of movement on the Discovery Bay Fault, along with simple thermal subsidence of the Crescent basalts, deepened the basin, as shown by the sediments grading from hummocky cross-stratified sands of the inner shelf to silty shales of the outer shelf.

description: Ενώ έχουν υπάρξει πολλές μεμονωμένες προσπάθειες ένταξης του πλαστικού και της πλαστικότητας στον αρχιτεκτονικό σχεδιασμό, μέχρι σήμερα το υλικό αυτό δεν έχει λάβει στην αρχιτεκτονική παραγωγή μια θέση ανάλογη με τα περισσότερο «παραδοσιακά» αρχιτεκτονικά υλικά όπως το ξύλο, το μέταλλο και το οπλισμένο σκυρόδεμα. Η συγκεκριμένη ερευνητική εργασία πραγματεύεται το θέμα του πλαστικού στην αρχιτεκτονική και αναζητεί τα αίτια της μη διαδεδομένης χρήσης του σε αυτόν τον τομέα, αναλύοντας τις ιδιότητές του και τις δυνατότητες εφαρμογής του στον αρχιτεκτονικό και οικοδομικό τομέα. Κρίσιμο στοιχείο σε αυτήν την αναζήτηση αποτελεί η περιβαλλοντική διάσταση των πλαστικών υλικών και τα ενδεχόμενα εμπόδια που προκύπτουν από αυτή. Λύσεις σε αυτά τα εμπόδια που αναλύονται είναι η εφαρμογή ανακυκλωμένων και επαναχρησιμοποιημένων πλαστικών στην αρχιτεκτονική, καθώς και η εφαρμογή νέων τεχνολογικών επιτευγμάτων των πλαστικών υλικών, τα οποία προωθούν την αρχή της βιωσιμότητας, όπως τα βιοπλαστικά. Μέσα από όλα αυτά, διερευνάται η ύπαρξη μίας «Πλαστικής Αρχιτεκτονικής», τα χαρακτηριστικά της, η προσφορά της στην αρχιτεκτονική σε αισθητικό και τεχνικό επίπεδο, και οι δυνατότητες μελλοντικής εξέλιξης και περεταίρω διάδοσης.
description: While there have been many individual attempts to integrate plastic and plasticity into architectural design, to date this material has not received a place in architectural production analogous to the more ''traditional'' architectural materials such as wood, metal and reinforced concrete. This research paper addresses the issue of plastic in architecture and searches for the causes of its not widespread use in this field, analyzing its properties and applications in the architectural and construction sectors. A critical element in this search is the environmental dimension of plastic materials and the potential obstacles that arise from it. Solutions to these obstacles that are being analyzed are the applications of recycled and reusable plastics to architecture, as well as the application of new technological advances in plastics that promote the principle of sustainability, such as bioplastics. Through all these, is being explored the existence of a "Plastic Architecture", its features, its contribution to architecture aesthetically and technically, and the possibilities for future evolution and further growth.

description: 	Sendo o friso cronológico simples um recurso utilizado no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de conteúdos da História nas aulas de Estudo do Meio, foi realizada uma investigação com o objetivo de analisar o impacto da utilização deste recurso na avaliação dos alunos dos 3.º e 4.º anos de escolaridade na área disciplinar referida. Metodologicamente, a investigação segue uma abordagem quantitativa, baseada nos dados disponibilizados pelo conjunto de docentes inquiridos, quer nos questionários aplicados, quer nas grelhas relativas à avaliação dos alunos a Estudo do Meio e, em particular, em conteúdos da História e Geografia de Portugal. A análise dos dados recolhidos permite encarar com otimismo o impacto da utilização do recurso referido nas classificações dos alunos. Contudo, não foi possível comprovar uma relação direta entre esses dois fatores, dada a inexistência de dados relativos à avaliação de alunos cujos docentes não utilizam o friso cronológico. De certa forma, a investigação evidencia a importância do envolvimento dos alunos na sua construção. Contudo, os resultados indiciam a necessidade de se realizar uma abordagem sistemática e contínua do friso cronológico com os alunos em contexto de sala de aula.
description: The impact of the use of the timeline for the evaluation of students of Social Studies of the 1st cycle of basic education Timeline is a resource used for teaching and learning History in Social Studies classes, so an investigation was carried out in order to analyze the impact of the use of this resource on the evaluation of students of the 3rd and 4th years in that subject area. Methodologically, the research follows a quantitative approach, based on data provided by the group of surveyed teachers, both in questionnaires and grids for the evaluation of students, in particular on contents of History and Geography of Portugal. The analysis of the data collected allows us to face with optimism the impact of the utilization of this resource for the evaluation of students. However, it was not possible to prove a direct relationship between these two factors, given the absence of data relating to the evaluation of students whose teachers do not use the timeline. The research highlights the importance of student involvement in its construction. However, the results indicate the need to perform a systematic and continuous approach to timeline with the students in classroom context.

description: Although many U.S. homes rely on private wells, few studies have investigated the quality of these water sources. This cross-sectional study evaluated private well water quality in Maryland, and explored possible environmental sources that could impact water quality. Well water samples (n = 118) were collected in four Maryland counties and were analyzed for microbiological and chemical contaminants. Data from the U.S. Census of Agriculture were used to evaluate associations between the presence of animal feeding operations and well water quality at the zip code level using logistic regression. Overall, 43.2% of tested wells did not meet at least one federal health-based drinking water standard. Total coliforms, fecal coliforms, enterococci, and Escherichia coli were detected in 25.4%, 15.3%, 5.1%, and 3.4% of tested wells, respectively. Approximately 26%, 3.4%, and <1% of wells did not meet standards for pH, nitrate-N, and total dissolved solids, respectively. There were no statistically significant associations between the presence of cattle, dairy, broiler, turkey, or aquaculture operations and the detection of fecal indicator bacteria in tested wells. In conclusion, nearly half of tested wells did not meet federal health-based drinking water standards, and additional research is needed to evaluate factors that impact well water quality. However, homeowner education on well water testing and well maintenance could be important for public health.
