description: Agricultural reuse of dewatered sludge is a valid route for sludge valorization for small and mid-size wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) due to the direct utilization of nutrients. A more stringent of German fertilizer ordinance requires the degradation of 20% of the synthetic additives like polymeric substance within two years, which came into force on 1 January 2017. This study assessed the use of starch-based polymers for full-scale dewatering of municipal sewage sludge. The laboratory-scale and pilot-scale trials paved the way for full-scale trials at three WWTPs in Germany. The general feasibility of applying starch-based ‘green’ polymers in full-scale centrifugation was demonstrated. Depending on the sludge type and the process used, the substitution potential was up to 70%. Substitution of 20–30% of the polyacrylamide (PAM)-based polymer was shown to achieve similar total solids (TS) of the dewatered sludge. Optimization of operational parameters as well as machinery set up in WWTPs is recommended in order to improve the shear stability force of sludge flocs and to achieve higher substitution potential. This study suggests that starch-based biodegradable polymers have great potential as alternatives to synthetic polymers in sludge dewatering.

description: Viola magellanica Georg Forster (1787: 41)
 Type (lectotype, designated here):— [ARGENTINA. Tierra del Fuego: / CHILE. XII Region:] Tierra del Fuego, G. Forster s.n. (K 000535037 lower left plant [digital image!]; isolectotype, B W 04902 –01 0 [digital image!]).
 Protologue citation:—“Habitat in uliginosis.”
 Distribution:—Native of Argentina and Chile. In Argentina it is known for the provinces of Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego.
 Notes:—It is not possible to state where the original Forster herbarium is preserved (Stafleu & Cowan 1976), but we found specimens in different herbaria which might correspond to the original material of Viola magellanica collected by Johann Georg Adam Forster during the second voyage of Captain James Cook. We selected the specimen with the barcode number K 000535037 as the lectotype because it agrees with the protologue, possesses a label belonging to the Forster herbarium, and has another label with the name of the species. The following specimen is a possible isolectotype: G. Forster s.n. (S11-34254 [digital image!]).
With respect to the ambiguous information of the locality of the type material, we clarify that Forster (1777) wrote about various aspects of Tierra del Fuego such as clime, flora, fauna, and native humane populations without specifying if he was situated on the Argentine or the Chilean side of the big island of Tierra del Fuego. At the time the specimen was collected boundaries between Argentina and Chile were not established; both countries were part of the same territory, the “ Virreinato del Río de La Plata ”. It was not until 1881 that Chile and Argentina signed a treaty of limits (https://www.dipublico.org/3634/tratado-de-limites-con-chile-de-1881/). Therefore, this specimen was gathered either in Argentina or Chile, following the present delimitation.

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This qualitative research study explores the experiences of nursing managers who have employed overseas trained nurses (OSTNs) in an acute clinical setting of an Australian regional hospital. Eleven nursing managers participated in the research. Data was collected from semi-structured individual interviews. Thematic analysis methods were used to investigate the workplace transition of the OSTNs from the view points of the nursing managers. The research identifies and explores the nursing managers' perceptions of current OSTN transition to the hospital, the needs of OSTNs during transition and potential enablers and challenges to OSTN transition. Major findings from the study highlight the importance of contextualisation and consolidation of clinical skills and communication, caste discrimination and racism and community. Transition supports and enablers included transition and orientation, workplace based education, personal encouragement and support. Challenges and barriers to OSTN transition were workforce planning and workplace expectations, OSTN selection process, cultural expectations and clinical practice. Findings from this study highlight the need for OSTNs to be supported during their transition to enable their adjustment to practice in a new nursing context and clinical environment. A three tier education plan for OSTN transition is recommended. The target participant groups are OSTNs, nursing managers and current clinical nursing staff. This customised educational framework is designed to meet the specific needs of the participating organisation.
Surface-Anchored Poly( N -isopropylacrylamide) Orthogonal Gradient Networks

description: We present a versatile synthetic route leading toward generating surface-attached polyacrylamide gels, in which the cross-link density varies continuously and gradually across the substrate in two orthogonal directions. We employ free radical polymerization to synthesize random copolymers comprising ~5% of photoactive methacrylyloxybenzophenone (MABP), ~5% of thermally active styrene sulfonyl azide (SSAz), and ~90% of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) units. The presence of MABP and SSAz in the copolymer facilitates control over the cross-link density of the gel in an orthogonal manner using photoactivated and thermally activated cross-linking chemistries, respectively. Spectroscopic ellipsometry is employed to determine the degree of swelling of the gel in water and methanol as a function of position on the substrate. Network swelling varies continuously and gradually across the substrate and is high in regions of low gel fractions and low in regions of high gel fractions.
Detecting quantum speedup in closed and open systems

description: We construct a general measure for detecting the quantum speedup in both closed and open systems. The speed measure is based on the changing rate of the position of quantum states on a manifold with appropriate monotone Riemannian metrics. Any increase in speed is a clear signature of dynamical speedup. To clarify the mechanisms for quantum speedup, we first introduce the concept of longitudinal and transverse types of speedup: the former stems from the time evolution process itself with fixed initial conditions, while the latter is a result of adjusting initial conditions. We then apply the proposed measure to several typical closed and open quantum systems, illustrating that quantum coherence (or entanglement) and the memory effect of the environment together can become resources for longitudinally or transversely accelerating dynamical evolution under specific conditions and assumptions.

description: In this paper, molecular dynamics simulations of a coarse-grained bead–spring model have been used to study the effects of molecular crowding on the accumulation of tension in the backbone of bottle-brush polymers tethered to a flat substrate. The number of bottle-brushes per unit surface area, Σ, as well as the lengths of the bottle-brush backbones N bb (50 ≤ N bb ≤ 200) and side chains N sc (50 ≤ N sc ≤ 200) were varied to determine how the dimensions and degree of crowding of bottle-brushes give rise to bond tension amplification along the backbone, especially near the substrate. From these simulations, we have identified three separate regimes of tension. For low Σ, the tension is due solely to intramolecular interactions and is dominated by the side chain repulsion that governs the lateral brush dimensions. With increasing Σ, the interactions between bottle-brush polymers induce compression of the side chains, transmitting increasing tension to the backbone. For large Σ, intermolecular side chain repulsion increases, forcing side chain extension and reorientation in the direction normal to the surface and transmitting considerable tension to the backbone.

description: The ubiquitin system contains a wealth of potential drug targets for many diseases and conditions, including neurodegenerative, immune, metabolic and developmental diseases, as well as multiple cancers. Despite years of research, relatively few clinical inhibitors or specific chemical probes for proteins within the ubiquitin system exist, with many interesting target proteins yet to be explored. Fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) offers efficient and broad coverage of chemical space with small libraries, using covalent and non-covalent approaches. Coupled with advances in structural biology and proteomics, FBDD now provides a thorough screening platform for inhibitor discovery within the ubiquitin system. In this mini review, we summarise the current scope of FBDD and how it has been applied to ubiquitin-activating (E1), ubiquitin-conjugating (E2), ubiquitin ligase (E3) and deubiquitinating (DUB) enzymes. We also discuss the newest frontiers of FBDD and how they could be applied to enable inhibitor and novel chemical probe discovery and provide functional insight into the ubiquitin system.

description: The motion of nanoparticles (NPs) in entangled melts of linear polymers and nonconcatenated ring polymers are compared by large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. The comparison provides a paradigm for the effects of polymer architecture on the dynamical coupling between NPs and polymers in nanocomposites. Strongly suppressed motion of NPs with diameter d larger than the entanglement spacing a is observed in a melt of linear polymers before the onset of Fickian NP diffusion. This strong suppression of NP motion occurs progressively as d exceeds a and is related to the hopping diffusion of NPs in the entanglement network. In contrast to the NP motion in linear polymers, the motion of NPs with d > a in ring polymers is not as strongly suppressed prior to Fickian diffusion. The diffusion coefficient D decreases with increasing d much slower in entangled rings than in entangled linear chains. NP motion in entangled nonconcatenated ring polymers is understood through a scaling analysis of the coupling betwe...

description: Abstract The study of voting behaviourur is of profound significance in democratic countries. It is a study that hovers around how people vote and how they decide to vote for a candidate. The present research work attempts to study the determinants of the voting behaviour of the people of the Pithoragarh district. For this purpose, an empirical investigation was conducted. An adequate sample size was drawn from the electorates of the Pithoragarh district. The study makes a modest effort to understand the socioeconomic profile of the electorates, their voting tendency, their voting practice as well as their political participation, and most importantly their voting behaviour in the Lok Sabha election and the Assembly election. In addition, the study consulted various secondary sources to trace the evolution of electoral politics in the Pithoragarh district. After the statistical analysis of the data, a qualitative analysis was done and the significant findings of the present study have been presented in this research paper.
Strong optomechanical interactions in a sliced photonic crystal nanobeam

description: Cavity optomechanical systems can be used for sensitive detection of mechanical motion and to control mechanical resonators, down to the quantum level. The strength with which optical and mechanical degrees of freedom interact is defined by the photon-phonon coupling rate $g_0$, which is especially large in nanoscale systems. Here, we demonstrate an optomechanical system based on a sliced photonic crystal nanobeam, that combines subwavelength optical confinement with a low-mass mechanical mode. Analyzing the transduction of motion and effects of radiation pressure we find a coupling rate $g_0$/2π = 11.5 MHz, exceeding previously reported values by an order of magnitude. Using this interaction we detect the resonator's motion with a noise imprecision below that at the standard quantum limit, even though the system has optical and mechanical quality factors smaller than $10^3$. The broad bandwidth is useful for application in miniature sensors, and for measurement-based control of the resonator's motional state.

description: AbstractPurposeTo describe the clinical manifestations of presumed gadolinium toxicity in patients with normal renal function.Materials and methodsParticipants were recruited from two online gadolinium toxicity support groups. The survey was anonymous and individuals were instructed to respond to the survey only if they had evidence of normal renal function, evidence of gadolinium in their system beyond 30days of this MRI, and no pre-existent clinical symptoms and/or signs of this type.Results42 subjects responded to the survey (age: 28–69, mean 49.1±22.4years). The most common findings were: central pain (n=15), peripheral pain (n=26), headache (n=28), and bone pain (n=26). Only subjects with distal leg and arm distribution described skin thickening (n=22). Clouded mentation and headache were the symptoms described as persistent beyond 3months in 29 subjects. Residual disease was present in all patients. Twenty-eight patients described symptoms following administration of one brand of Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agent (GBCA), 21 after a single GBCA administration and 7 after multiple GBCA administrations, including: gadopentetate dimeglumine, n=9; gadodiamide, n=4; gadoversetamide, n=4; gadobenate dimeglumine, n=4; gadobutrol, n=1; gadoteridol, n=2; and unknown, n=4.ConclusionsGadolinium toxicity appears to arise following GBCA administration, which appears to contain clinical features seen in Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis, but also features not observed in that condition.

 Protologue citation:—“Among loose pumice-stones near the summit of the volcanic mountain Cerro del Diamante, Dr. Gillies.”
 Distribution:—Native of Argentina and Chile. In Argentina it is known for the provinces of Mendoza and Neuquén.
 Notes:—Several specimens are mounted on the same sheet of this species at K and are identified by three different barcode numbers. The two upper right hand plants with the barcode number K 000535077 possess a label with the identification Viola volcanica and the collection data “Dr. Gilies 78”; without having any locality information we can not assure that it corresponds with the protologue of the species. The two bottom right hand plants with the barcode number K 000535078 possess two labels; one label has the identification Viola volcanica and the locality data “Cord. de Talca”, and the second label possesses the collection data “Plantae Chilenses-Comm. R. A. Philippi. Central Chili ”. Furthermore, the note “cf. V. congesta Hook. Not volcanica ” is handwritten next to these labels. This specimen does not agree with the protologue. The two upper left hand plants with the barcode number K 000535076 have a label with the exact transcription of the protologue handwritten by Gillies himself, fully agrees with the protologue, and are herein selected as the lectotype of Viola volcanica. Isolectotypes were also examined at BM and E.

description: AbstractGadolinium based contrast agents (GBCAs) play an important role in the diagnostic evaluation of many patients. The safety of these agents has been once again questioned after gadolinium deposits were observed and measured in brain and bone of patients with normal renal function. This retention of gadolinium in the human body has been termed "gadolinium storage condition". The long-term and cumulative effects of retained gadolinium in the brain and elsewhere are not as yet understood. Recently, patients who report that they suffer from chronic symptoms secondary to gadolinium exposure and retention created gadolinium-toxicity on-line support groups. Their self-reported symptoms have recently been published. Bone and joint complaints, and skin changes were two of the most common complaints. This condition has been termed "gadolinium deposition disease". In this review we will address gadolinium toxicity disorders, from acute adverse reactions to GBCAs to gadolinium deposition disease, with special emphasis on the latter, as it is the most recently described and least known.

description: Recent results from high-resolution solar granulation observations indicate the existence of a population of small granular cells that are smaller than 600 km in diameter. These small convective cells strongly contribute to the total area of granules and are located in the intergranular lanes, where they form clusters and chains. We study high-resolution radiation hydrodynamics simulations of the upper convection zone and photosphere to detect small granular cells, define their spatial alignment, and analyze their physical properties. We developed an automated image-segmentation algorithm specifically adapted to high-resolution simulations to identify granules. The resulting segmentation masks were applied to physical quantities, such as intensity and vertical velocity profiles, provided by the simulation. A new clustering algorithm was developed to study the alignment of small granular cells. This study shows that small granules make a distinct contribution to the total area of granules and form clusters of chain-like alignments. The simulation profiles demonstrate a different nature for small granular cells because they exhibit on average lower intensities, lower horizontal velocities, and are located deeper inside of convective layers than regular granules. Their intensity distribution deviates from a normal distribution as known for larger granules, and follows a Weibull distribution.

description: AbstractOver the last 2years several studies have been published regarding gadolinium deposition in brain structures in patients with normal renal function after repeated administrations of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs). Most of the publications are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based retrospective studies, where gadolinium deposition may be indirectly measured by evaluating changes in T1 signal intensity (SI) in brain tissue, particularly in the dentate nucleus (DN) and/or globus pallidi (GP). The direct correlation between T1 signal changes and gadolinium deposition was validated by human pathology studies. However, the variability of the MR equipment and parameters used across different publications, along with the inherent limitations of MRI to assess gadolinium in human tissues should be acknowledged when interpreting those studies. Nevertheless, MRI studies remain essential regarding gadolinium bio-distribution knowledge. The aim of this paper is to overview current knowledge of technical aspects of T1 signal intensity evaluation by MRI and describe confounding factors, with the intention to achieve higher accuracy and maximize reproducibility.

description: This thesis contributes to debates in museology and in sociology by developing a ‘relational’ approach which emphasises the interrelatedness and interdependency of objects in everyday life. The study works with key concepts from different fields of social sciences, notably ‘innovation junctions’ (Science and Technology Studies), ‘scripts’ (Actor-Network Theory) and ‘social practices’ (Theories of Practice), and relates these to recent work in museology, including that which challenges singular historical narratives, and which argues for new methods of conceptualising, studying and presenting objects. These methods and ideas informed an examination of administrative work and office-related objects found in Manchester Town Hall between 1960 and 2010. Sources included Town Hall records, archived photograph albums and interviews with Town Hall staff. Three principal forms of object relations were identified. These included relations between objects that arose from direct physical connection; from their arrangements within and across spaces and infrastructures; and, from their use in the performances of shared practices. This study shows that objects are multistable, and that at any one moment they are positioned in different ways, depending on how they are understood and the roles and responsibilities to which they relate. Objects (and their relations) are also never static or fixed and can change over time along with the procedures and practices of which they are a part. For museums, this suggests that objects can be used to represent multiple co-existing historical narratives. This approach depends on situating objects not as stand-alone artefacts, but in relation to others at specific (temporal and spatial) moments, and across their trajectories/biographies.

description: Type 2 diabetes has become a serious global health problem, and a healthy dietary pattern can help to prevent and treat it early. Higher consumption of whole grains, such as cereals and pseudocereals, is a strategy to mitigate this global epidemic. Buckwheat is a common pseudocereal that is rich in protein, dietary fiber, slowly digestible starch, polyphenols and phytochemical compounds. These components with biological functions have led to increasing attention on the health benefits of buckwheat, specifically its hypoglycemic property. However, buckwheat remains an under-utilized crop. This review aims to provide an overview of the extraction process, the types of bioactive components present in buckwheat, and potential mechanisms of action that could lead to a blood glucose-lowering effect in the human body. The effect of thermal treatments on the functional properties and in vitro digestibility of some components are also discussed. Further, the application of buckwheat in foods and diets in both in vitro and in vivo studies on glycemia is also mentioned. The hypoglycemic effect of buckwheat consumption and the potential for the utilization of buckwheat in functional food products described herein aim to help increase the awareness of its benefits and demand.

description: Query answering under existential rules -- implications with existential quantifiers in the head -- is known to be decidable when imposing restrictions on the rule bodies such as frontier-guardedness [BLM10, BLMS11]. Query answering is also decidable for description logics [Baa03], which further allow disjunction and functionality constraints (assert that certain relations are functions), however, they are focused on ER-type schemas, where relations have arity two. This work investigates how to get the best of both worlds: having decidable existential rules on arbitrary arity relations, while allowing rich description logics, including functionality constraints, on arity-two relations. We first show negative results on combining such decidable languages. Second, we introduce an expressive set of existential rules (frontier-one rules with a certain restriction) which can be combined with powerful constraints on arity-two relations (e.g. GC 2, ALCQIb) while retaining decidable query answering. Further, we provide conditions to add functionality constraints on the higher-arity relations.

description: Abstract- India is a democratic country and its citizens have various freedom and .rights guaranteed under Indian constitution .The persons residing in India have right to peaceful assembly and right to form an association except violating the rights of another .Article 21 of the Constitution of India guarantees life and personal liberty of to its citizens. But today the across the globe of honour crimes cuts across racial, religious and cultural and religious divides. Today violence involved in honour crimes and killings under the guise of protecting the honour of the family and community varies in different forms but the use of the family and community varies in different form. The role of khap panchayat needs to be analyzed in a proper context so that the democratic choice of the people at large specially the women and weaker section in particular. Khap panchayts need to be questioned in terms of their legal status and the authority by which they punish people brutally or carry out killings in the name of honour. The present research paper gives details the various aspects of honour killing and explores honour crimes with special reference to honour killings along with broad understanding of modern trends followed by present generation as the main cause of honour crimes. This paper also discusses the various provisions of Indian Penal code, 1860 under which honour crimes are punished and other legislative provision which prohibit such killings.
