Chemistry

description: The present study was aimed to analyse the impact of biofield energy treatment on the physicochemical and spectral properties of 4-MBA. The compound was divided into two parts which are referred as the control and treated sample. The treated sample was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment and analysed with respect to the control sample. The various analytical techniques used were X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and UV-visible spectroscopy. The XRD data revealed the alteration in the relative intensities of the peaks as well as reduction in the average crystallite size (24.62%) of the treated sample as compared to the control. The surface area analysis revealed a slight reduction in the surface area of the treated sample. The differential scanning calorimetry analysis reported a slight increase in the melting point while significant reduction in the latent heat of fusion of the treated sample (39.96 J/g) as compared to the control (133.72 J/g). Moreover, the TGA thermogram of the treated sample revealed the reduction in the onset temperature and maximum thermal degradation temperature as compared to the control. However, the FT-IR and UV-Vis spectra of treated sample did not show any significant alteration as compared to their respective control spectra. The overall data indicated the improved physical and thermal properties of the biofield treated 4-MBA sample that might be helpful in increasing the reaction kinetics, where it will be used as a reaction intermediate.

description: Gentrification has dramatically changed the urban landscape of Washington, D.C. Non-profit alternative jazz venues have become important sites for negotiating this complex process that is re-shaping the city. Each such venue aligns itself with one of the two primary factions of gentrification: new urban migrants or long-term residents. Westminster Presbyterian Church’s Jazz Night in Southwest fosters a community of repeat-attendees resisting social displacement. The Jazz and Cultural Society unabashedly foregrounds ties to long-term residents in highlighting a black identity and its local interconnectedness. CapitolBop’s Jazz Loft demonstrates the difficulties that come with trying to cater to a young audience, and at the same time, resist gentrification. These venues present three perspectives on gentrification and together bring light to the overlapping complexity of gentrification.

subject: School-age children

description: The intent of this study was to evaluate the relationships among selected factors of parental influence and the physical activity behavior of children ages 8-11 in a socio-economically diverse setting. The Youth Physical Activity Promotion Model (YPAP) (Welk, 1999) served as the theoretical framework for this study. Many concerns have been raised about the academic performance, self-esteem, self-image, and physical fitness (including levels of diabetes, obesity and other diseases) among youth. While a variety of factors contribute to trends in decreasing academic test scores, increased behavioral issues and an increase in childhood health related issues, it is recognized that decreased levels of physical activity may play a significant role. A cross-sectional study was conducted of 136 children (aged 8-11) attending an elementary school in northern Virginia with a majority-minority student population. Students were administered a survey to assess level of physical activity, attraction to physical activity, perceived athletic competence and parental influence (i.e., encouragement, involvement, facilitation and role modeling). Parent feedback was collected during a parent focus group. Analyses indicate parental influence has a direct effect on child physical activity behavior, and that perceived athletic competence and attraction to physical activity play indirect roles. The study findings validate the YPAP model for school age children in a socio-economically diverse community. Parents have a strong influence on their children’s physical activity behavior regardless of socio-economic status, safety and the built environment. In this study students had a high level of physical activity and participated in a number of different activities. Students appear to have benefited from a collaborative effort to increase awareness of the importance of physical activity, and increase the level of physical activity behavior in the community. The effort involved the school administration, recreation departments, physical education teachers, city government, local non-profit organizations, and parent volunteers coming together to overcome obstacles (e.g., built environment, parental safety concerns).

description: The primary objective of this study was to investigate patterns of abundance and diversity among reptiles and amphibians within the protected area of Mount Chelmos, located in Peloponnese, Greece. Our aim was to examine the drivers influencing abundance (for lizards, snakes, chelonians, anurans, urodels) and diversity (for reptiles and amphibians) within the finely-scaled study area and identify biodiversity hotspots. Land cover significantly impacted the abundance and diversity of all studied groups. Elevation had a significant impact on the abundance of snakes, chelonians, and anurans, as well as on reptile and amphibian diversity. Climate influenced all groups except chelonians. Slope significantly impacted anuran abundance and amphibian diversity. Aspect primarily influenced the abundance of lizards, anurans, and urodels, as well as reptile diversity. We have also identified abundance and diversity hotspots, emphasizing the importance of conservation and management efforts. In reptiles, abundance hotspots were predicted in the west, east, and south of the mountainous massif, whereas amphibian abundance hotspots were mapped to the west and east-southeast of the massif. Regarding diversity, the patterns were similar for both reptiles and amphibians, with hotspots emerging in the west, south, and southeast boundaries of the study area, and a few spots north of the mountainous region. Notably, many of these hotspots coincided with areas susceptible to human exploitation and vehicular transit.

description: The development of a proportional fluid control valve/assembly is presented. This electro-mechanical system is needed for space applications to replace the current proportional flow controllers that use bulky hydraulic or pneumatic actuation systems. The flow is controlled by a microprocessor system that monitors the control parameters of upstream pressure and requested volumetric flow rate. The microprocessor achieves the ·proper valve stem displacement by means of a digital linear actuator. A linear displacement sensor is used to measure the valve stem position. 'Ibis displacement is monitored by the microprocessor system as a feedback signal to close the control loop. With an upstream pressure between 15-47 psig, the developed system operates between 779 standard cm3/sec (SCCS) and 1543 secs. The delivered volumetric flow rates were within 5% of the requested values. Recommendations made for future work on the design include further modification to the bellows spring and the possibility of a mass flow rate controller.

Subjects: subject: Prenatal Stress

subject: Conditioned Place Preference

description: Early environmental and behavioral experiences can affect development during adolescence and even adulthood. Prenatal effects can result in lasting changes on the nervous system and behavior. Gestational stress has been shown to lead to an increased vulnerability to substance abuse and addiction disorders. Exposure to stress is associated with sensitive periods of vulnerability that also uniquely contributes to drug abuse vulnerability. Compulsive drug use can increase due to a highly reactive HPA-axis, which can be dysregulated by prenatal stress exposure (Andersen & Teicher, 2009). While the results of studies done with other drugs of abuse suggest that animals exposed to prenatal stress are more vulnerable to substance abuse, the effects of prenatal stress on nicotine exposure is unknown, particularly on initial nicotine experiences during adolescence. Indeed, research on the effects of prenatal stress on adolescent behavior and development is scarce. As adolescence is the most common age for initial nicotine use, and as adolescence is a sensitive period where reinforcing effects of nicotine are stronger than in adults, we carried out an experiment to determine the effects of prenatal stress on adolescent nicotine reward using a rat model. The conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm, widely used to assess the rewarding effects of abused drugs in rodents [Bardo & Bevins, 2000], is ideal for modeling initial responsivity to nicotine. In this experiment, pregnant female rats underwent either restraint stress [45 min 3X daily, P14-P21], or no stress. Adolescent male offspring underwent a four-day, single-trial nicotine CPP procedure in a conditioning apparatus consisting of 2 distinct sides. The results show that prenatal stress altered the posttest time of nicotine place preference in adolescence. This suggests the prenatal stress may actually be acting on anxiety and that could be altering the conditioned place preference results.

Poetic Evocation Offering™ and Glyph Statement

Ayétútù Oríadé – She Who Remembers Our Sound is a Poetic Evocation Offering™ created and authored by Dr. Yẹ́wándé Òkùlẹ́yẹ, grounded in Yorùbá cosmology, ancestral knowledge, and place-based memory. First presented at Holy Trinity Church, Cloudesley Square, the work weaves together four interlinked stories shaped by silence, migration, ritual, and spiritual listening.

The offering introduces Ayétútù Oríadé — a mythical bird born of ancestral and cosmological knowledge — and follows her presence through sites of sacred stillness and embodied witnessing.

Rooted in Yorùbá understanding of interconnectedness between human and more-than-human worlds, the work positions the artist herself as the vessel and convergence point through which myth and self become one.

This dossier includes: the concept of Poetic Evocation Offering™, artist statement, cultural and relational ethics, visual references, and an archival note. It is shared as part of a living archive, where presence, voice, and ritual continue to unfold.

description: The recent trend in the Integrated Circuit (IC) supply chain process involves, in-house development and out-sourcing the designs to major fabrication labs located globally. This process introduces several concerns and threats like Intellectual Property (IP) piracy, reverse engineering, IC counterfeiting and introduction of hardware Trojans. An awareness of these attacks and threats have led to the introduction of several hardware-level security techniques. This thesis comprises a review of the Hardware-level security techniques on Logic Locking, their strength against the Boolean Satisfiability solvers and an attempt to parallelize the SAT-Solver on a GPU, which is at the core of the de-obfuscation tool used for the security analysis. We investigate the strength of six different SAT solvers in attacking various obfuscation schemes. Our investigation revealed that Glucose and Lingeling SAT solvers are generally suited for attacking small-to-midsize obfuscated circuits, while xii MapleGlucose, if the system is not memory bound, is best suited for attacking mid-to-difficult obfuscation methods. The GPU version of the SAT-Solver was implemented using the NVIDIA’s CUDA toolkit, as to take advantage of the hundreds/thousands of CUDA cores present on the GPUs. However, the results of GPU parallelization are not as promising as one would think in the general sense, and the drawbacks of the approach are also reported clearly. The results of the GPU based SAT Solver are derived using the benchmarks available in the SATLIB website.

description: In this view, aim of this paper was to verify how the Technological Innovation Centers of two universities in the Southeast region, in the states of São Paulo and Espírito Santo, manage their intellectual property. For this purpose, a qualitative survey was conducted through case studies, based on the application of semistructured interviews scripts. The results showed that, on the one hand, the Innovation Law created opportunities for universities, through their NITs, to get closer to the productive sector. This approach would benefit the transfer of knowledge to society and the training of human resources from universities. However, on the other hand, the lack of vision and the inexperience of some universities in the strategic management of their intellectual property (IP) has led to a reactive IP management model, that is, only to comply with legal requirements.

Subjects: subject: Conflict Prevention

description: "Although it is clear that, by itself, assistance neither causes nor can end conflict, it can be a significant factor in conflict contexts. Assistance can have important effects on intergroup relations and on the course of intergroup conflict. In a DNH IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT area, for example, one NGO provided 90% of all local employment in a sizable region over a number of years. In another, the NGO estimated that militia looting of assistance garnered US $400 million in one brief (and not unique) rampage. Both of these examples occurred in very poor countries where assistance's resources represented significant wealth and power. At the same time, giving no assistance would also have an impact—often negative. The DNH has thus chosen to focus on how to provide assistance more effectively and how those of us who are involved in providing assistance in conflict areas can assume responsibility and hold ourselves accountable for the effects that our assistance has in worsening and prolonging, or in reducing and shortening, destructive conflict between groups whom we want to help. The DO NO HARM “Analytical Framework” was developed from the programming experience of many assistance workers. It provides a tool for mapping the interactions of assistance and conflict and can be used to plan, monitor and evaluate both humanitarian and development assistance programmes. The Framework is NOT prescriptive. It is a descriptive tool that: 1) identifies the categories of information that have been found through experience to be important for understanding how assistance affects conflict; 2) organizes these categories in a visual lay-out that highlights their actual and potential relationships; and 3) helps us predict the impacts of different programming decisions."

description: Loading of spinal motion segment units alters biomechanical properties by modifying flexibility and range of motion. This study utilizes angular displacement due to an applied bending moment to assess biomechanical function during high-magnitude and prolonged compressive loading of ovine lumbar motion segments. High compressive loads, representative of physiological lifestyle and occupational behaviors, appear to limit fluid recovery of the intervertebral disc, thereby modifying spinal flexibility and increasing spinal instability. Intermittent extensions, or backwards bending movements, may provide a protective effect against the load-induced spinal instability. This study contributes a greater understanding of the effects of load history on the function and health of the lumbar spine. Findings may inform future efforts investigating adjustments in spinal posture to preserve or promote the recovery of lumbar spinal biomechanics.

description: The constant need to improve helicopter performance requires the optimization of existing and future rotor designs. A crucial indicator of rotor capability is hover performance, which depends on the near-body flow as well as the structure and strength of the tip vortices formed at the trailing edge of the blades. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solvers must balance computational expenses with preservation of the flow, and to limit computational expenses the mesh is often coarsened in the outer regions of the computational domain. This can lead to degradation of the vortex structures which compose the rotor wake. The current work conducts three-dimensional simulations using OVERTURNS, a three-dimensional structured grid solver that models the flow field using the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The S-76 rotor in hover was chosen as the test case for evaluating the OVERTURNS solver, focusing on methods to better preserve the rotor wake. Using the hover condition, various computational domains, spatial schemes, and boundary conditions were tested. Furthermore, a mesh adaption routine was implemented, allowing for the increased refinement of the mesh in areas of turbulent flow without the need to add points to the mesh. The adapted mesh was employed to conduct a sweep of collective pitch angles, comparing the resolved wake and integrated forces to existing computational and experimental results. The integrated thrust values saw very close agreement across all tested pitch angles, while the power was slightly over predicted, resulting in under prediction of the Figure of Merit. Meanwhile, the tip vortices have been preserved for multiple blade passages, indicating an improvement in vortex preservation when compared with previous work. Finally, further results from a single collective pitch case were presented to provide a more complete picture of the solver results.

description: The public and healthcare providers wish to modify diets by incorporating healthy bioactive foods to manage weight and combat some of the negative consequences of obesity. Research suggests that food containing capsaicin, a bioactive ingredient in peppers, may be used as a tool for anti-obesity therapy through thermogenic effects, macronutrient increased fat/CHO oxidation ratio, negative energy balance, appetite regulation, and improved insulin sensitivity. The research objectives of this study are to determine acute changes in substrate oxidation and energy expenditure (EE) after consumption of a capsaicin-rich meal. The hypothesis of this study is that ingestion of a capsaicin-rich meal will result in a increase in fat oxidation and EE than from ingestion of a meal without capsaicin. We tested 10 adults (ages 21-42, BMI 21-33 kg/m^2) for two days using the Metabolic Cart to test their substrate oxidation and EE before and after consuming a standard meal for two hours. During the first test day, participants consumed a meal without capsaicin, and on the second test day they consumed the same meal except with an addition of 4tsp (8.20g) cayenne pepper containing 20.4mg capsaicin. Blood glucose, blood pressure, and anthropometric measurements were also monitored for all participants. There was no significant difference in baseline RMR and fasting blood glucose levels between the two test days. The respiratory quotient (RQ) was significantly lower (p-value 0.018) for the capsaicin test day, favoring fat oxidation. The average EE change over time was 19±8 kcal/2hr and 25±11 kcal/2hr for the non-capsaicin test day and capsaicin day respectively and was statistically significant (p-value: 0.000). The blood glucose control was not significant (p-value 0.538). The best estimate threshold level positively correlated with EE (p=0.024). The BP between the two test conditions was not significantly different. This study reports a lower RQ favoring fat oxidation and a higher EE after the consumption of a capsaicin-rich meal than without. More research needs to be done with a larger data set to present a significant outcome for blood glucose control.

description: Incidents of oil spills in the sea in different countries of the world motivated the creation ofsystems of prevention to the marine pollution. In Brazil, Law n. 9966/2000 is the mainregulatory instrument in this area. This article presents the results of a study on the application,from 2005 to 2014, of oil pollution prevention and control instruments provided for in this Law,in a maritime terminal that moves oil in the State of Espírito Santo. The research instrumentsadopted were bibliographic research and documentary research. The control and inspectionmeasures carried out by the competent environmental agency were verified; the incidents of oilleakage in the sea occurred at the Norte Capixaba Terminal; and verified the measures appliedby the environmental agency and actions of prevention and response adopted by the companywhen the occurrence of incidents of oil leakage in the sea. The research allowed to conclude thatthere is an effort of the environmental agency for the application of the instruments ofprevention established in the Law, however, noncompliance of deadlines by the company and thedelay of the organ in the analyzes can compromise the effectiveness of the prevention of oilpollution in the sea.

description: Mean-field monomer-dimer models, on sparse random graphs or on the complete graph, can be considered as an approximation of finite-dimensional physical models involving particles of different sizes. On the other hand they have a particular interest for the emerging applications to Computer Science and Social Sciences, since the real-world networks are often modelled by particular families of random graphs. We give a rigorous proof of Zdeborovà-Mézard's picture of the monomer-dimer model with pure hard-core interaction on sparse random graphs. As shown by Heilmann and Lieb, the hard-core interaction is not sufficient to cause a phase transition in monomer-dimer models. We study monomer-dimer models on the complete graph and in particular we add an attractive interaction to the hard-core one. We provide the solution of this model, showing that a phase transition occurs. The critical exponents are the standard mean-field ones and the central limit theorem breakdowns.

Finite-dimensional monomer-dimer models (and more general hard-rods models) are still interesting also for applications to Physics, in the theory of liquid crystals. Heilmann and Lieb proposed some monomer-dimer models on Z^2 with attractive interactions that favour the presence of clusters of neighbouring parallel dimers. They showed the presence of orientational order at low temperatures, while they conjectured the absence of translational order. We prove the absence of translational order in a different framework, when the dimer potential favours one of the two orientations.

description: La presente tesi si concentra sull'effettività che la garanzia formale dei diritti, oggetto di proclamazioni al di fuori dei confini statali, riceve dalla tutela giurisdizionale della Corte europea dei diritti dell’uomo e della Corte di Giustizia dell’Unione europea. L'analisi si sofferma sull’impatto delle pronunce dei “giudici europei” nel sistema di protezione nazionale e sulle scelte del legislatore in materia di diritti. Gli ambiti presi in considerazione sono i seguenti: "nuovi diritti", materia penale, "violazioni strutturali".
description: The topic of the research is the "judicial dialogue" on human rights which involved the European Court of Human Rights, the European Court of Justice and the national courts and its impact on the national reforms. In the Italian system the "dialogue" between different jurisdiction created an effectiveness protection of human rights, for instance, on the prisoners rights.

description: The Internet of Things promises to be a key-factor in the forthcoming industrial and social revolution. The Internet of Things concept rely on pervasive communications where ’things’ are ’always connected’. The focus of the thesis is on Heterogeneous Networks for Internet of Things and Machine Type Communications. Heterogeneous Networks are an enabling factor of paramount important in order to achieve the ’always connected’ paradigm. On the other hand, Machine Type Communications are deeply different from Human-to-Human communications both in terms of traffic patterns and requirements. This thesis investigate both concepts. In particular, here are studied short and long range solutions for Machine-to-machine applications. For this work a dual approach has been followed: for the short-range solutions analysis an experimental approach has been privileged; meanwhile for the long-range solutions analysis a theoretical and simulation approach has been preferred. In both case, a particular attention has been given to the feasibility of the solutions proposed, hence solutions based on products that already exist in the market have been privileged.
Il mercato europeo delle professioni liberali e la protezione dei diritti fondamentali

description: La prassi istituzionale dell'UE garantisce un trattamento speciale ai liberi professionisti in materia di regole di concorrenza e di mercato. Questa prassi, tuttavia, manca di coerenza perché si basa su un approccio caso per caso e non è mai stata studiata in un'ottica trasversale. 
Il presente lavoro di ricerca propone dunque un'analisi complessiva di questo mercato, individuando gli elementi caratterizzanti le "professioni liberali". L'elaborazione di una categoria propria per tali servizi potrebbe infatti aiutare le istituzioni europee a razionalizzare le loro azioni. Invero, nel quadro costituzionale post Lisbona le professioni liberali potrebbero essere considerate come paradigma del principio di economia sociale di mercato, offrendo così una giustificazione teorica al trattamento speciale loro accordato a livello europeo.
description: The EU institutional practice grants a special treatment to liberal professions in the fields of competition and market law. This practice, however, suffers a lack of consistency insofar as it is based on a case-by-case approach and has never been considered by way of a transversal analysis.
Thus, this research identifies the elements that characterize the “liberal professions”, so that the Court of Justice and the European institutions can rationalize their actions.
The convergence of public and private interests, which is typical of these professions, causes tensions between competition rules and fundamental rights. Therefore, in the context of the post-Lisbon constitutional framework, these professions may well be regarded as a paradigm of the principle of social market economy. This finding could, then, give a theoretical justification for the special treatment accorded them at European level.

description: En la actualidad, los Estados se desenvuelven en un contexto global justificado en el principio de liberalización y el bajo intervencionismo Estatal en la economía, como estrategia principal en la búsqueda de su crecimiento y desarrollo; así pues, los Estados se insertan en el proceso de la globalización, a través de relaciones transfronterizas que interconectan el mundo, por medio de la integración de aspectos económicos, sociales y culturales. Estas actividades se estructuran u ordenan bajo diferentes mecanismos internacionales, como tratados multilaterales, regionales o bilaterales, conforme a los intereses descritos. El objetivo de desarrollo económico, encuentra su origen en el discurso de posesión del presidente Harry Truman (1949), quien acuñó el término de Estados subdesarrollados bajo las premisas de proclamar los principios y metas de Estados Unidos, con el fin de permitir al mundo, especialmente a los países atrasados, acceder a estrategias representadas en políticas, productos y tecnologías que les facilitarían llegar a ser en algún momento desarrollados (Esteva, 1992, p. 58- 59). De este modo, a nivel global se establecieron diversas fórmulas políticas, como el Consenso de Washington (1989), que proporcionarían a los Estados lograr el crecimiento económico basado en el incremento del producto interno bruto ( en adelante, PIB), que según Leonardo Prado de la Escosura (2006, p. 2) para el economista ruso Simón Kutznets “es un incremento sostenido del producto per cápita o por trabajador, muy a menudo acompañado por un aumento de la población y habitualmente de profundos cambios estructurales”. Dentro de las principales actividades económicas transfronterizas que contribuyen al crecimiento económico de los Estados se encuentran la inversión extranjera, el comercio internacional de bienes y servicios y la propiedad intelectual, como medios idóneos para dotar de valor agregado a diversos productos, además de proporcionar soluciones a necesidades humanas, a través de procedimientos o productos resultantes de investigaciones, desarrollos e innovaciones (I+D+I) científicos.
