description: Coking coal has been employed for coking wastewater adsorption treatment. The modification and adsorption of coking coal pretreated by alkali solution is discussed and compared in this study. Results demonstrated OH- could react with -COOH, -OH and minerals, which resulted in coal surface variations. As the hydroxide concentration is increased, surface hydrophobility increased and the zeta potential became less negative. A coal sample pretreated by 0.1 mol/L NaOH solution had the highest surface area and pore volume. The adsorption ability of the samples was improved significantly as surface changes. The coal sample pretreated by 0.1 mol/L NaOH solution had the highest adsorption capacity, and followed pseudo-second-order kinetics.

description: Current methods for monitoring chloride in steam condensate in thermal power plants cannot measure the recommended target level (2 ppb) or are too complex and maintenance intensive for smaller plants. We propose a new relatively low-cost, easy-to-use, low-maintenance method, in which chloride in steam condensate is separated and concentrated with reverse osmosis membranes and the chloride in the concentrate stream is measured using an ion-selective electrode. This concentration-and-measurement system was demonstrated to accurately and quickly detect changes in chloride levels in steam condensate at operationally relevant levels (2–10 ppb) and as low as 0.6 ppb.

description: Much of the argument in Graham E Fuller's 'The Future of Political Islam' is reflective of the contentions that Olivier Roy makes in 'The Failure of Political Islam'. And yet, as is somewhat evident from the titles of these books, there are some fundamental differences in both the authors' analyses and outlook.

description: Il était une fois… Once Upon a Time, edited by Marine Ranouil and Nicholas Dissaux, inhabits the most tempting theory of Gramscian hegemony: Law codifies the people’s desires, especially those imparted to them through books; through the written word. Reading it brought to mind Bertrand Barère and his explanation of the French Revolution of 1789. Books did it all because they brought enlightenment into all classes of society. This seems pretentious and partially inaccurate. The Revolution was also ignited by filth and hunger, which made the masses part with their innate fear of death and bravely fight for such abstractions as the Rights of Men.

description: Bighead Carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis, Silver Carp H. molitrix, and Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella (collectively termed “Asian carp”) were introduced into North America during the 1960s and 1970s and have become established in the lower Mississippi River basin. Previously published evidence for spawning of these species in the upper Mississippi River has been limited to an area just downstream of Dam 22 (near Saverton, Missouri). In 2013 and 2014, we sampled ichthyoplankton at 18 locations in the upper Mississippi River main stem from Dam 9 through Dam 19 and in four tributaries of the Mississippi River (Des Moines, Skunk, Iowa, and Wisconsin rivers). We identified eggs and larvae by using morphological techniques and then used genetic tools to confirm species identity. The spawning events we observed often included more than one species of Asian carp and in a few cases included eggs that must have been derived from more than one upstream spawning event. The upstream extent of genetically confirmed Grass Carp ichthyoplankton was the Wisconsin River, while Bighead Carp and Silver Carp ichthyoplankton were observed in Pool 16. In all these cases, ichthyoplankton likely drifted downstream for several hours prior to collection. Higher water velocities (and, to a lesser extent, higher temperatures) were associated with an increased likelihood of observing eggs or larvae, although the temperature range we encountered was mostly above 17°C. Several major spawning events were detected in 2013, but no major spawning events were observed in 2014. The area between Dam 15 and Dam 19 appears to be the upstream edge of spawning activity for both Silver Carp and Bighead Carp, suggesting that this area could be a focal point for management efforts designed to limit further upstream movement of these species.

description: Near traffic routes and urban areas, the outdoor air particle number concentration is typically dominated by ultrafine particles. These particles can enter into the nearby buildings affecting the human exposure on ultrafine particles indoors. In this study, we demonstrate an aerosol generation system which mimics the characteristic traffic related aerosol. The aerosol generation system was used to determine the size-resolved particle filtration efficiencies of five typical commercial filters in the particle diameter range of 1.3–240 nm. Two different HEPA filters were observed to be efficient in all particle sizes. A fibrous filter (F7) was efficient at small particle sizes representing the nucleation mode of traffic related aerosol, but its efficiency decreased down to 60% with the increasing particle size. In contrast, the filtration efficiency of an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) increased as a function of the particle size, being more efficient for the soot mode of traffic related aerosol than for the nucleation mode. An electret filter with a charger was relatively efficient (filtration efficiency >85%) at all the observed particle sizes. The HEPA, F7 and electret filters were found to practically remove the particles/nanoclusters smaller than 3 nm. All in all, the filtration efficiencies were observed to be strongly dependent on the particle size and significant differences were found between different filters. Based on these results, we suggest that the particulate filter test standards should be extended to cover the ultrafine particles, which dominate the particle concentrations in outdoor air and are hazardous for public health.

Book Review: After the Smoke Clears: The Just War Tradition and Post War Justice

description: It is uncommon to find a work that has the potential to change the level of thought for an entire discipline. In After the Smoke Clears, Allman and Winright have accomplished precisely this feat. There is little doubt that just war theory is one of the most controversial elements of Christian ethics, and one that has been debated for the better part of two millennia. The authors not only recognize this fact, but also set out to write a book intended for those scattered all over the just war theory continuum – adherents to the theory and pacifists alike. The entire work consists of an Introduction, followed by two parts which succinctly present the authors’ major thesis: that there is inadequate attention devoted to the period following the cessation of violent force in warfare and that this needs to change in order for just war theory to be complete. An addition to the existing Christian tradition of just war is needed for it to continue to foster peace.

description: This collection of essays by significant Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann stems from his many public appearances between 2002 and 2009. Brueggemann orders his reflections around the themes of God, Scripture, and the Church by dividing them into four parts: Torah, Prophets, Writings, and Canon and Imagination. Especially inspiring is his use of a wide range of scriptures in order to honor the multi-vocality of the Old Testament. Additionally, Brueggemann adeptly shows that he reads the Old Testament from the foot of the cross as he expertly weaves New Testament passages into his various arguments. Brueggemann uses his skills to argue that just as the priestly, Deuteronomistic, and prophetic traditions were struggling with their conceptions of God in the midst of dominating empires, the present day Church must continue to struggle with its conception of God in the face of continued exclusionary absolutism in order to imagine an alternative reality.

description: In “The Little King,” Salman Rushdie’s prize-winning take on corruption and the opioid crisis, as published in The New Yorker (July 29, 2019), the law is described as “an ass,” but a useful one: "The law is useful, in fact. It tells you who is the correct person you need to convince. Otherwise, you can waste money convincing people who don’t have the stamp. Waste not, want not. We are like this only. We know what is the oil that greases the wheels" (Rushdie, 59, 2019). The Code of Capital. How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality is a prize-winning take on the usefulness of law confined to the international financial market. Katarina Pistor elucidates how the core institutions of private law – contract, property, collateral, trust, corporate, and bankruptcy law – are the building blocks of the financial system, including its newer financial instruments. Pistor achieves the impossible. She dispenses with legalese and focuses on the substance, which she then explains in a language that is both informative and unthreatening to the financial novice (a category in which I include myself). Pistor brings together legal analysis that is interdisciplinary, historical, and comparative. She is compelling and never pedantic nor boring.
Book Review: Raj Bhopal, Concepts of Epidemiology: Integrating the Ideas, theories, Principles, and Methods of Epidemiology, 2nd Ed., Oxford University Press, New York, 2008

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Epidemiology

description: "Choosing an introductory textbook for graduate students in epidemiology can be a daunting task. Many competing texts cover similar concepts – causal inference, study design, analysis of data, surveillance, screening, etc. They differ in their emphasis on chronic vs. infectious diseases, level of detail in describing and illustrating specific study designs, emphasis on epidemiology in clinical practice vs. discovery of lifestyle or environmental risk factors, and in the assumed level of mathematical and statistical competency of the student. In the Second Edition of 'Concepts of Epidemiology' (Bhopal, 2008) Raj Bhopal, Professor of Public Health at the University of Edinburgh, has thoughtfully considered all of these distinguishing points and has crafted a beginning textbook with many strengths, particularly in fulfilling the subtitle's promise of 'Integrating the ideas, theories, principles, and methods of epidemiology.' He has organized his book in unusual way. Where most textbooks tick off epidemiological concepts linearly, Bhopal dwells on defining and measuring population and disease in early chapters, and does not introduce effect measures such as risk ratio, rate ratio, and odds ratio until nearly two-thirds of the way into the book. This layout emphasizes concepts and their interrelationships, while abundant examples prevent it from becoming overly theoretical and pedantic" -- page 95
Book Review: Radical Political Theology: Religion and Politics After Liberalism by Clayton Crockett

description: As the supposed victory of liberal global capitalism becomes more widely accepted, the religious (re)turn to modernity’s secular world deconstructs the haphazardly constructed walls that divide the religious from the secular. While postmodern theology exemplifies those attempts at operating within the postsecular logic, it is decidedly apolitical, bordering on conservatism. Clayton Crockett’s Radical Political Theology represents a sophisticated radical theology with the ambitious goal of decentering establishment theology while maintaining an explicitly political focus. Indeed, at its most fundamental level, Crockett’s theopolitical project exists as a union of opposites that exhibits rewarding uses of post-Marxism, postmodernism, postliberalism, and postsecularism. With the rise of the Religious Right in America and what Naomi Klein calls "disaster capitalism" over the last three decades, many thinkers appear to be lost in the liberal-conservative binary while also stuck relying on pre-modern values in order to counterpose today’s ruling regimes. Responding to this climate, Crockett proposes to "sketch out a constructive theology that is neither liberal in a classic sense nor conservative or orthodox in any way, whether politically or theologically." This will demand a radical theology, which finds its roots in the American academy’s tradition of the death of God and postmodern theologies, as a counterweight to the Religious Right’s conservative Christianity, while also pursuing radical political commitments. Crockett explicates the focus of such theopolitical commitments by "suggesting that the political and the theological problem of our time is that of freedom... Radical theology’s task is to think freedom, which means to think the death of God, especially since the idea of God traditionally grounds sovereign power and serves as its highest instantiation."

Subjects: subject: Religion

description: One might wonder if there is much left to be said about Augustine’s Confessions that has not been said one hundred times already. This small but engaging volume, born from ongoing collaboration between Burrus and MacKendrick dating back to 2004, demonstrates that commentary on the Confessions must continue because it is a text that beckons us (indeed desires us) to do so by the very beauty of its composition (124). At the heart of each chapter is an attempt to understand the perennially troubling issue of Augustine’s approach to the body and to sex: is it, as has often been concluded, a wholly negative approach? The authors are out to challenge such casual assumptions while avoiding the impulse to historicize Augustine’s sex life (which has often revealed more about his commentators than about the bishop himself), and ultimately paying particular attention to the moments of ambivalence, ambiguity, and even slippage within Augustine’s elusive thought on these provocative themes.

description: More than ninety percent of published Jupyter notebooks do not state dependencies on external packages. This makes them non-executable and thus hinders reproducibility of scientific results. We present SnifferDog, an approach that 1) collects the APIs of Python packages and versions, creat- ing a database of APIs; 2) analyzes notebooks to determine candidates for required packages and versions; and 3) checks which packages are required to make the notebook executable (and ideally, reproduce its stored results). In its evaluation, we show that SnifferDog precisely restores execution environments for the largest majority of notebooks, making them immediately executable for end users.

description: Timothy Keller, in Generous Justice, offers a passionate plea for, and biblical defense of, social justice. In an emotionally-charged climate of political attack, this book points to the gospel of grace as the only right motivation for taking up the cause of widows, orphans, immigrants, and the poor. The book is fast-paced and warm— brimming with Scripture, anecdotes, and practical application. Keller is the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, New York and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Reason for God. He in an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church in America and holds degrees from Bucknell University (B.A.), Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (M.Div.), and Westminster Theological Seminary (D.Min.). After pastoring a church in Hopewell, Virginia, he taught at Westminster Theological Seminary before planting Redeemer Presbyterian Church in 1989. According to Keller, Generous Justice was written for four types of people. First, he has witnessed an increased number of young Christian believers who have a great desire to serve in justice ministry. Many of these young adults, however, have a hard time connecting that desire to their Christian faith. Second, Keller targets those Christians who are fearful that any advocacy of social justice is inexorably linked to a loss of sound doctrine and evangelism.

description: This is a book review of Jean-Pierre Ruiz, "Readings from the Edges." As its title suggests, this short book is located at the edges. More to the point, its thesis is at the intersection and overlapping of two distinct loyalties: a loyalty to the Bible as a guide for theological reflection, and a loyalty to migrant communities throughout the world (especially among the Latino/a communities in the United States). This is a theology of migration, one that revolves primarily around often-neglected biblical texts, and seeks to call biblical scholarship to consider the experience of migrant communities as a central component of its theological vision. Ruiz divides the book into two main parts, with the final chapter radically shifting the book’s focus. In the first part, Ruiz discusses what he calls “reading strategies”: the exegetical and hermeneutical process of interpreting the Bible, not as detached observers, but alongside the migrant communities of the world. In the second part, Ruiz discusses select passages from the Bible itself, offering interpretations of texts that are frequently neglected in considerations of faith and migration (particularly in the official documents of the Catholic Church).

description: Objective: Recent studies have reported a high prevalence of primary aldosteronism (PA) among hypertensive patients. However, few data exist regarding the prevalence of PA in the general population. Therefore, we examined the prevalence of PA in the general population including normotensive subjects. Methods: Plasma renin activity (ng/mL/hr), plasma aldosterone concentration (pg/mL) and aldosterone renin ratio (ARR) were determined in 309 subjects aged >40 years in Horimatsu and Higashi-Matsuho district, Shika-machi, Ishikawa, Japan. Results: Among them, 195 subjects (78 males, mean age: 62 ± 11 years) did not take antihypertensive agents: 113 normotensive subjects and 82 hypertensive subjects. Under these conditions, 68 subjects (13 males, age 62 ± 10 years) had an ARR >200. In 14 subjects who underwent captopril suppression test, PA was documented in 5 subjects, yielding a minimum prevalence of 2.6% in total subjects (1.8% in normotensive subjects and 3.7% in hypertensive subjects). Interestingly, females subjects demonstrated significant differences in ARR between subjects with age <50 (172 ± 105) and those with age 51–60 (388 ± 531), although there were no differences in male subjects. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that PA including normotensive subjects exists more commonly than that expected in the general population. We suggest further investigation about the cause and progression of PA associated with sex and aging.

At an affordable $7.99 at the time of this writing, The Dawkins Letters is a concise, useful introduction and critique of Dawkins' mega-seller. According to Dawkins, The God Delusion sold over two million English copies by January 2010 (http://richarddawkins.net/articles/5000#455619), which was when it returned to the New York Times extended bestseller list after lingering there for fifty-one weeks from 2006 to 2007. Robertson’s feisty retorts to Dawkins and other online contributors to Dawkins' official website, www.richarddawkins.net, are revised for The Dawkins Letters, Robertson’s mini-manifesto of ten short letters, two bonus chapters, a quick introduction, and a concluding appeal.

description: These days, anyone speaking of "heaven" in theologically serious tones has some explaining to do. That person faces what Christopher Morse might call an "accountability" requirement. Morse has invested an entire career in working out what this means, and his new book, in addition to its other benefits, provides a window onto how this procedure -- which so many students have heard so much about -- actually works. As with scripture itself, however, its best secrets are not revealed by a casual reading. The Difference Heaven Makes begins by pointing out that talking about heaven is not easy for many of us. Or shouldn’t be. Easy talk about "heavenly" matters easily drifts either into complacent sentimentality or anxious superstition, and so we had better listen carefully before just looking "Lo, here" and "lo, there."

description: Building on the growing body of work examining the intersection of trauma, affect, memory, and theology, Shelly Rambo contributes Spirit and Trauma: A Theology of Remaining in which she makes the case for rethinking the Easter event in terms of the middle day, Holy Saturday, and the acts of witnessing and remaining. The book is both complex and well thought-out in its clear presentation as Rambo first introduces Trauma Studies and its history within psychology and literary studies, then moves through and expands the idea of witness, and finally brings the theology she wishes to present into focus with a pneumatological reimagining of Holy Saturday and love as theological norms. Rambo begins by situating us within the larger conversation in Trauma studies, positing that life-negating experiences of trauma issue a challenge to theology “to account for what exceeds death yet cannot be interpreted as new life.
Book Review: The Impact of Science and Technology on the Rights of the Individual. By Nicola Lucchi.
Creators: Neacsu, Dana
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Technology and law

description: Nicola Lucchi is an associate professor at the Jönköping International Business School, in Jönköping, Sweden. His research and teaching focus on comparative information law and policy, and the interaction between law and innovation. His current book, The Impact of Science and Technology on the Rights of the Individual, seems to be the natural progression of an earlier book Biotech Innovations and Fundamental Rights, which he co-edited in 2012 while at the University of Ferrara. While the earlier work was meant to demonstrate how “the legal regulation of scientific research and scientific investigations impact more and more directly on the freedom of research and therapies as well as on the broad diffusion of knowledge,” the current book amalgamates a series of case studies from a variety of jurisdictions (including the European Union, the United States as well as other legal systems) where scientific and technological issues intersect with individual legal rights, “such as freedom of expression, right to health, knowledge production, Internet content regulation, accessibility and freedom of scientific research.”

description: Near traffic routes and urban areas, the outdoor air particle number concentration is typically dominated by ultrafine particles. These particles can enter into the nearby buildings affecting the human exposure on ultrafine particles indoors. In this study, we demonstrate an aerosol generation system which mimics the characteristic traffic related aerosol. The aerosol generation system was used to determine the size-resolved particle filtration efficiencies of five typical commercial filters in the particle diameter range of 1.3–120 nm. Two different HEPA filters were observed to be efficient in all particle sizes. A fibrous filter (F7) was efficient at small particle sizes representing the nucleation mode of traffic related aerosol, but its efficiency decreased down to 60% with the increasing particle size. In contrast, the filtration efficiency of an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) increased as a function of the particle size, being more efficient for the soot mode of traffic related aerosol than for the nucleation mode. An electret filter with a charger was relatively efficient (filtration efficiency > 85%) at all the observed particle sizes. The HEPA, F7 and electret filters were found to practically remove the particles/nanoclusters smaller than 3 nm. All in all, the filtration efficiencies were observed to be strongly dependent on the particle size and significant differences were found between different filters. Based on these results, we suggest that the particulate filter test standards should be extended to cover the ultrafine particles, which dominate the particle concentrations in outdoor air and are hazardous for public health.
Book Review: The Universe Bends Toward Justice: Radical Reflections on the Church, the Bible, and the Body Politic by Obery M. Hendricks

Subjects: subject: Religion
subject: Spirituality

subject: FOS: Philosophy, ethics and religion
subject: Theology

description: Obery M. Hendricks' The Universe Bends Toward Justice is a rigorous, highly nuanced, and skillful treatment of the paucity of prophetic Christian witness and critique in the church and in society. The author, who is an ordained elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, as well as an acclaimed scholar and intellectual and former seminary president, marshals significant evidence in setting forth the thesis that things have gone seriously awry in a nation that claims direct de- scent from the maker of all things. Not one to leave the reader languishing in some netherworld of political correctness or convoluted intellectualisms, Hendricks calls by name the besetting sin and deviltry that would rend the nation, with its lofty ideals of unanimity and love of truth, into a curious, contemptible mélange of atomistic, social hierarchies that bow at the great altar of Spencerian economic and social theory. "We are living in insane times," says Hendricks, "Like purveyors of a bad Orwellian joke, the religious right and right-wing politicians have hijacked the meanings of justice and equity and cynically perverted them into their very opposites." For the author, this tattered re-inversion of the Nietzschean "transvaluation of values" has led to "bizarre and unconscionable results" in both civic life and in the ekklesia—the assembly of those called out to bear witness to the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

description: Theology and psychoanalytic theory have often been framed as living at odds with each other. Psychoanalytic and depth psychological schools have been accused of dismissing God as illusion, or reducing God to an impulse within the psyche, or even a non-determined 'experience' which has no grounding and hence no verification in orthodox faith traditions. On the theological side, the accusations received have ranged from that of God being a projection of infantile omnipotence, carrier of a sadistic super-ego projection as a result of unresolved Oedipal complexes, and famously, as promoting an illusion which gives shelter from the harsh reality with which we must reckon if we are to become fully adult (Freud). Yet, often quietly and sometimes in the shadows, there have been theorists who have pondered their own clinical experiences and the possibilities for encountering what some might call God, others some kind of reality with a capital 'R,' witnessed therein. While traditional religious language has often been avoided, the presence of some sort of Reality meriting recognition has seeped through, showing up in theories such as Bion’s, 'O,' Symington’s understanding of conscience, or Rizzuto’s considering the possibility of the silent presence of an apophatic God in communion with Winnicott’s ‘incommunicable’ core at the center of the self.
Business and Service Telephone Conversations: An Investigation of British English, German, and Italian Encounters

description: Prior research of telephone service encounters have dealt with specific strategies used by speakers as well as their practical implications (Lee, 2011; Stokoe, 2013). Taking interactional data from three European languages, namely British English, German, and Italian, Varcasia’s 2013 book, Business and Service Telephone Conversations, sets out to apply “pure” Conversation Analysis (CA) findings (ten Have, 2007) to analyze the various strategies used by speakers when responding to pre-request for services and requests for information during telephone service encounters. The text contributes to the research on institutional interactions and cross linguistic comparison, and also presents practical implications with regard to formal business telephone services and the training of call center professionals.

Conversation Analysis and Second Language Pedagogy: A Guide for ESL/EFL Teachers

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: English language--Study and teaching--Foreign speakers

description: Conversation Analysis and Second Language Pedagogy locates itself at the nexus of research and practice, connecting the findings of conversation analysis (CA) to language teaching. In one sense, the text contributes to an existing, growing body of research that links CA to second language (L2) classroom interaction (e.g. Markee, 2000; Mori, 2002; Seedhouse, 2004; Waring, 2008). However, unlike most work in this vein, the authors are not attempting to describe verbal exchanges that occur in the L2 classroom. That is, rather than use CA to better understand how teachers and students talk, Wong and Waring aim to proffer CA as a way to teach talk. Indeed, his book specifically reaches out to ESL/EFL teachers tackling the task of improving their students’ oral proficiency. In addition to explicating basic tenets of CA findings, each chapter teems with classroom activities designed to get students speaking and analyzing talk. Thus, as the organization of the book demonstrates, the thrust of the text is twofold: (1) to introduce CA to ESL/EFL teachers, and (2) to provide them with CA-informed speaking activities for use in their classrooms.
