description: To study the biomonitoring capacity of some seaweeds from the Nador lagoon “Marchica”, we have analyzed the physico-chemical parameters of lagoon water (3 sites) including temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, salinity, turbidity, NO3-, NO2- and PO42-, and also we determined some biochemical parameters such as chlorophyll, protein, glucose and proline concentrations of 4 seaweeds (Gracilaria gracilis, Alsidium corallinium and Ulva rigida and Caulerpa prolifera). Waters and algae samples were collected in July 2015, from three sampling sites (S1, S2 and S3). Variations in the physical and chemical parameters were observed between sampling stations. The site 2 was the most polluted area characterized by high levels of turbidity, NO3-, NO2- and PO42-) followed by the site 1 with high NO3- and NO2- concentrations. In relation to biochemical parameters in different algal species, the Alsidium corallinium showed a higher level of chlorophyll a and b in sites 1 and 2 comparing to the site 3. Finally, Gracilaria gracilis collected from the site 2, accumulated more proteins, glucose and proline. From these results, we can conclude that algal species found in the Nador lagoon “Marchica” can be used in the biomonitoring of pollution in a marine ecosystem.

Editor's Comment:
Group of six officers in the uniform of the Highland Regiments. Note that three wear kilt aprons, and one a wrap around kilt cover for camouflage.Captain Thomas Nicol Folster Hourston, 10th Bn. Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (9th (Scottish) and later 32nd Division) served as Adjutant of his battalion from 16th February 1918. He began his war as a Private, service no. 2796 in the London Regiment, and was comissioned 5th August 1916. Originally from Orkney. His Military Cross Citations are as follows:Supplement to the London Gazette, 26th July 1917: 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He took command of his company during the advance and handled it with great coolness and ability. Although wounded he continued to command for 48 hours.'Supplement to the London Gazette, 10th December 1919: 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at Joucourt and Chataigries Wood from 29th September to 5th October, 1918. During a determined counter-attack by the enemy, when the situation was very obscure, he went up on his own initiative and organised two companies in defensive positions, completely restoring the situation at a critical time. He was of great assistance to his C.O. through five very difficult and tryirig days.'

description: Root rot is considered as one of the diseases that cause serious obstacles to the development of the agricultural sector. The oomycetes group contain the most destructive and causal agents of this disease, in particular Aphanomyces euteiches, the causal agent of root rot in leguminous plants, which is currently a huge constraint for legumes culture in many regions where it is widely practiced. Therefore, it is clear that improving legumes culture is linked to a good knowledge of the disease and its causal agent. The aim of this study is to know more about the pathogen and to look for a good and sustainable control. Aphanomyces euteiches and its severity are influenced by environmental conditions, especially soil conditions. Control of the A. euteiches is very complicated considering the long persistence of zoospores and the structural difference as compared with fungi. However, partial resistance of pea lines and biological control seem to be the best solutions to adopt.

description: Background: Suicidal patients often visit healthcare professionals in their last month before suicide but medical practitioners are unlikely to raise the issue of suicide with patients because of time constraints and uncertainty regarding an appropriate approach. Introduction: A brief tool called the e-PASS Suicidal Ideation Detector (eSID) was developed for medical practitioners to help detect the presence of suicidal ideation in their clients. If suicidal ideation is detected, the system alerts medical practitioners to address this issue with a client. The eSID tool was developed due to the absence of an easy-to-use, evidence-based suicidal ideation detection tool for general practice. Material and Methods: The tool was developed using binary logistic regression analyses of data provided by clients accessing an online psychological assessment function. Ten primary healthcare professionals provided advice regarding the use of the tool. Results: The analysis identified eleven factors in addition to the Kessler-6 for inclusion in the model used to predict the probability of recent suicidal ideation. The model performed well across gender and age groups 18-64 (AUR .834, 95% CI .828-.841, N=16703). Healthcare professionals were interviewed; they recommended that the tool be incorporated into existing medical software systems and that additional resources be supplied, tailored to the level of risk identified. Conclusion: The eSID is expected to trigger risk assessments by healthcare professionals when this is necessary. Initial reactions of healthcare professionals to the tool were favorable, but further testing and in situ development is required.

description: Background: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms are most commonly treated with stimulant medication such as methylphenidate (MPH); however, approximately 25% of patients show little or no symptomatic response. We examined the extent to which initial changes in brain functional connectivity (FC) associated with the first MPH dose in boys newly diagnosed with ADHD predict MPH-associated changes in ADHD inattentiveness and hyperactivity symptoms at 3 months. Methods: Brain FC was estimated using steady-state visual evoked potential partial coherence before and 90 minutes after the administration of the first MPH dose to 40 stimulant drug-naïve boys newly diagnosed with ADHD while they performed the AX version of the continuous performance task. The change in parent-rated inattention and hyperactivity scores over the first 3 months of MPH medication was correlated with the initial 90-minute MPH-mediated FC changes. Results: Hyperactivity improvements at 3 months were associated with first-dose MPH-mediated FC reductions restricted to frontal-prefrontal sites following the appearance of the "A" and at frontal and right temporal sites during the appearance of the "X." Corresponding 3-month inattention score improvement was associated with initial MPH-mediated FC reductions restricted to occipitoparietal sites following the appearance of the "A.". Conclusions: These findings are discussed in the context of MPH effects on the default mode network and the possible role of the default mode network in MPH-mediated improvements in inattention and hyperactivity symptom scores.

description: The study of corrosion is of paramount importance because of the direct and indirect losses caused by this problem. It is a phenomenon that causes the degradation of a material and its alteration due to a physical-chemical or biological interaction with its environment. It affects metallic materials used in many industrial fields such as the automotive. This work proposes to identify the types of materials most commonly in the automotive manufacturing, their characteristics and the standards associated with their uses. These materials must be aesthetic, dynamic, lightweight and durable. Currently, three materials are mainly used in the automotive industry: Steel, polymers, and aluminum based alloys. Our choice of material was based on steel, for reasons related to its low of production cost, its superior strength properties than other materials and its high rate of use in the car. We used the multi-criteria methods, in this case the ELECTRE1 method most frequently used in problems of aid to the multi-criteria decision. Among the five steels constituting the vehicle body, this method allowed us to identify the steel most affected by corrosion.

description: This study compared the effectiveness of passive and free cooling application methods of Phase change materials (PCMs) when used as energy efficient retrofitting in a residential building. A modern duplex residential building in Melbourne, Australia was considered for the case study. In passive application, PCM was installed in the ceilings of the house. In free cooling application, outdoor air was supplied to the indoor after passing it through a PCM storage unit. The study was carried out using building simulation software EnergyPlus V8.4 and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS V15.1. The developed simulation models of passive and free cooling applications were validated using relevant experimental data. The validated simulation models were then used to investigate the effectiveness of these PCM application methods in the selected building. The results showed that, for the studied house, free cooling application of PCM is more effective than the passive application in reducing the internal zone temperature. Under typical summer climatic conditions of Melbourne, free cooling application resulted in up to 1.8 °C reduction in zone air temperature, compared to only 0.5 °C when PCM was applied as passive heat storage system. The outcome of this study would be helpful in selecting the effective PCM application method for these types of residential buildings in similar climates.

description: In order to evaluate the taxonomic composition of phytoplankton, monthly monitoring of the composition and distribution of phytoplankton communities was conducted during the spring period of 2018, at three stations in Imessouane Bay. The systematic study of the samples revealed the presence of 74 phytoplankton species with a dominance of diatoms (69%) over dinoflagellates (31%). The specific diversity was estimated by calculating the specific richness, Shannon-Weaver Diversity Index (H’), Pielou's evenness index (J), Margalef (Mg) and Simpson (Ds). The use of these indices concomitantly has clearly identified the overall state of the living phytoplankton community in Imessouane Bay. The presence of potentially harmful species was detected during the study period but still in small quantities, these mainly belong to the genera (Pseudo-nitzschia, Dinophysis, Prorocentrum, and Alexandrium).

description: Le développement des élevages porcins passe par une meilleure connaissance de ces différentes composantes. Ainsi une étude a été menée dans le département de Korhogo en vue de caractériser les élevages porcins. Pour ce faire, une enquête a été réalisée grâce à un questionnaire afin d’interroger les éleveurs de porcs. Au total 68 élevages porcins ont été visités. Les résultats ont montré que l’élevage porcin est pratiqué par les hommes (86,8%) et est destiné à la vente (97%) avec une forte exploitation des races améliorées (92,6%) acquises par achat (86,8%). La taille moyenne du troupeau est de 16,16 têtes, avec une prédominance de porcs à l’engraissement (55,3%). Cet élevage est pratiqué pour la plupart des éleveurs avec un système et des bâtiments traditionnels (63,2%). L’alimentation est surtout basée sur l’utilisation d’un mélange de deux à trois matières premières représentant les composants de l’aliment fabriqué par l’éleveur (80,5%) et distribué une seule fois (72,1%). La gestion est effectuée par l’éleveur même et/ou sa famille (94,1%). La reproduction est faite de façon naturelle (94,1%). Les principales pathologies rencontrées sont la peste porcine Africaine, la gale et la diarrhée et aucun plan de prophylaxie n’est respecté. De nombreuses contraintes existent et sont liées à la conduite d’élevage.

description: Context. This paper suggests a hypothesis that the world is a simulation of a digital world done by a creator who is the ruler of the highest civilization. As this creator can control the cosmic distances and so he used his science and arts in a simulation called life, this life is based upon the creator strategies and those strategies are simple as your computer, you turn on your computer so the life began, but in the highest civilization computer there is no shut down, but a timer set according to the highest civilization order.It's because we are controlled by a higher civilization that we cannot go beyond them because they are at a higher dimension than ours, and mostly they are at the highest dimension that can get over all the dimensions of the hyperspace, Science is a dynamic process of questioning, hypothesizing, discovering, and changing previous ideas based on what is learned. Scientific ideas are developed through reasoning and tested against observations. Scientists assess and question each other's work in a critical process called peer review. Our understanding about the universe and our place in it has changed over time. New information can cause us to rethink what we know and reevaluate how we classify objects in order to better understand them. New ideas and perspectives can come from questioning a theory or seeing where a classification breaks down Aims. The aim of this paper is to over viewing the data that the creator used to shape the hyperspace and ruling the life we live in and this incredible data is connected to achieve the main goal of life. Methods. Collecting data and analyzing then connecting them Results. A creator from a higher civilization made this hyperspace of multi-verse by using a special kind of programming

description: The efficiency of latent heat thermal energy storage systems is often limited by the low thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCMs), which limits the heat transfer rate and energy storage efficiency. Therefore, this study investigates the performance enhancement of form-stable PCMs with the addition of exfoliated graphene nano-platelets (xGnP) as a heat transfer promoter. Experimental research was carried out on fabrication, characterization and testing the properties of paraffin/EP/xGnP composite PCMs. It was shown that the xGnP particles formed an interconnecting network inside the open pores of EP, which remarkably improved the thermal properties and thermal energy storage/retrieval properties of composite PCMs. For instance, in comparison with paraffin/EP composites, addition of 1% of xGnP increased the thermal conductivity by up to 49%. Thermal energy storage/release test also revealed that the paraffin/EP/xGnP composites reduced the heat storage/ release duration by up to 33%, compared to paraffin/EP composite PCM. The enhancement of thermal properties and thermal energy storage rate of paraffin/EP/xGnP composites is a promising way to achieve high energy storage efficiency in numerous latent heat thermal energy storage applications such as solar energy storage and energy conversation in buildings.

description: In this study, the influence of two chemical additives, (i.e., poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA and 1,2,3,4 Butane Tetra Carboxylic Acid, BTCA on the engineering properties of an expansive clay soil is investigated. The effect of polymers on the unconfined compression strength of soil samples prepared at maximum dry unit weight (i.e., 16.2 kN/m3 and 17% water content) and a lower dry unit weight (i.e. 10.8 kN/m3 and 48% water content) was evaluated. PVA and BTCA added at dosages of 0.1% to 1.5% and 0.1% to 0.5% respectively to both compacted soil samples and cured for 1 and 14 days. The results of unconfined compression tests on clay soil samples stabilized with different PVA and BTCA contents cured for 1 and 14 days indicated that such hydrophilic polymers improve the compression strength of both dense and soft clay soils significantly and their strength even increases with curing time. However, the efficiency of the additives is highly dependent on the unit weight of the soil. Furthermore, the durability of stabilized samples was also examined using soaking tests and results revealed that these polymers improve the durability of clay soils once they are soaked under water.

description: In this introduction to the digital humanities (DH), we will approach the field via a Caribbean Studies lens, exploring how an understanding of the digital based in the growing area of digital Caribbean studies might shape the larger field of DH.

The course aims to provide a landscape view of DH, paying attention to how its various approaches embody new ways of knowing and thinking, new epistemologies. What kinds of questions, for instance, does the practice of mapping pose to our research and teaching? How does the concept of mapping change when we begin from the Global South? When we attempt to share our work through social media, how is it changed and who do we imagine it reaches? How can we visually and ethically represent various forms of data and how does the data morph in the representation?

Over the course of this semester, we will explore these questions and others as we engage ongoing debates in the digital humanities, such as the problem of defining the digital humanities, the question of whether DH has (or needs) theoretical grounding, controversies over new models of peer review for digital scholarship, issues related to collaborative labor on digital projects, and the problematic questions surrounding research involving "big data." The course will also emphasize the ways in which DH has helped transform the nature of academic teaching and pedagogy in the contemporary university with its emphasis on collaborative, student-centered and digital learning environments and approaches.

Central themes in the course will emerge from our focus on the Caribbean -- in particular, how various technologies and technical approaches have been shaped by colonial practices; how archives might be decolonized and how absences in the archives might be accounted for; and how concepts like minimal computing might alter the projects we build.

description: In this study, cement-based thermal energy storage composites (TESC) were developed by integrating a novel phase change material (PCM) composite into ordinary cement mortar (NC). The composite PCM is based on paraffin and hydrophobic expanded perlite and it is form-stable when integrating into cementitious composites. The composite PCM was integrated as partial replacement for fine aggregate and the replacement ratios are 20%, 40%, 60% and 80%. The mechanical and thermal performance of TESC was studied. The results revealed that the developed TESC shows superior thermal performance with acceptable mechanical properties.

description: Neuropeptide Y (NPY), involved in the enhancement of feeding behaviour, may vary according to the nutritional or ponderal status and by treatment with satiety-inducing substances, such as cholecysto-kinin (CCK). In this study, plasma NPY levels were measured using a radioimmunometric assay after treatment with a potent CCK peptide agonist in obese Zucker and ‘’cafeteria" rats. In the Zucker strain, basal NPY levels did not differ between the obese (fa-fa), lean heterozygote (Fa-fa) and lean homozygote (Fa-Fa) rats. However, the CCK agonist decreased NPY levels in the lean Fa-Fa rats only. This decrease could be expected given the opposite roles of NPY and CCK in the control of food intake. Similarly with other paradigms, the lean rats were more sensitive than the obese rats (fa-fa) of CCK peptides. Furthermore, the obese and Fa-fa rats were" irresponsive to the CCK agonist, suggesting that certain disturbances may be related to the presence of the ‘’fa’’ gene. The ‘’cafeteria’’ rat showed lower basal NPY levels compared to its lean congener. This mighnt be related to its constant hyperphagia, since NPY levels have been shown to increase during fasting and to decrease during refeeding. The CCK agonist decreased NPY levels in a significant manner in the ‘’cafeteria’’ rat. Thus, contrary to the obese Zucker rat, this model is more sensitive to the effects of CCK peptides. This study allows to differentiate the ontogeny of the obesity of the Zucker and the ‘’cafeteria’’ models. As expected, the ‘’cafeteria’’ rat is more susceptible by feeding related disturbances; this is further evidenced by the interaction of these two peptides involved in feeding regulation: CCK and NPY.

Knowledge Infrastructures Syllabus
Creators: name: Gold, Matthew K.
Publisher: name: unknown
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Mass media--Study and teaching
subject: Education, Higher--Curricula
subject: Archives
subject: Critical theory

description: Infrastructure is all around us, rarely remarked upon. Indeed, the latent state of
infrastructure is part of what marks it as such; as Susan Leigh Starr has noted,
infrastructure studies involves the examination of "boring things."

This class will explore the emerging nexus of critical infrastructure studies and
critical university studies, focusing on the infrastructure of scholarly knowledge.
From our libraries to our journals to our conferences to our operating systems
to our use of social media, scholars communicate through an entanglement of
corporate and commercial interests. Beyond the obviously problematic commercial
infrastructures built by predatory publishers and corporate conglomerates
such as Elsevier, scholars routinely depend on for-profit publication venues and
commercial journals to disseminate their work.

As a set of alternatives to the commercialized infrastructure of knowledge
dissemination in the academy, the course will consider open access publication
models, free software development, and university press publishing. Even as
we explore such alternatives, we will critique them, considering the ways that
such alternatives themselves depend upon commercial technical stacks, and
considering whether these alternatives are equally available and accessible across
the globe.

Topics to be explored include: introductions to critical infrastructure studies
and critical university studies; the environmental impact of the cloud; the free
software movement; academic publishing models; constructing open platforms.
Students in the class will explore publishing platforms collaboratively created
by CUNY and other partners, including the CUNY Academic Commons and
Manifold, as well as others such as Humanities Commons and Zotero. The goal
of the class, in the end, is to ask students to consider how and where their own
scholarly knowledge is distributed, and by whom and under what terms.

description: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic syndrome of multiple etiology categorized by a deficiency of the pancreatic hormone insulin. In the present study, 19 N-benzyl-deoxynojirimycin derivatives (NB-DNJDs) had been evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity for the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus, α-glucosidase inhibitorswereinvestigated to derive a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activityrelationship(3D-QSAR)model. The resulting 3D-QSAR model exhibited good statistical results; (Q2=0.664, R2=0.896 and r2ext=0.850) for comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and (Q2=0.632, R2=0.846 and r2ext=0.813) for comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA). The CoMFA and CoMSIA contour maps were employed to figure out the features requirements responsible for the inhibitory activity. Moreover, molecular docking analyses were further used to conﬁrm that the substituents at ring A, ring D and ring E were crucial for interacting with receptors ERα and ERβ, respectively, which were in good agreement with the 3D-QSAR results and gave worthy guide to optimize the development and design new potential α-glucosidase inhibitors.

description: An experimental and numerical study has been carried out to evaluate the energy saving potential of thermal energy storage cementitious composite (TESC) in commercial buildings. Here, TESC was fabricated by integrating a composite phase change material based on paraffin and expanded perlite into ordinary cementitious composite. The TESC developed was used to study the thermal performance of an experimental room in the laboratory. Thermal performance test revealed that TESC reduced the peak indoor temperature by approximately 5.6oC during summer design days with the peak shift of 1.5 hours. The potential application of TESC in commercial buildings evaluated by building simulation in EnergyPlus showed that TESC can provide an annual energy savings of 16-25% in major Australian cities.
