description: Η πολυπολιτισμικότητα ανέκαθεν υπήρξε χαρακτηριστικό της ελληνικής κοινωνίας, πολλώ μάλλον δε των εκπαιδευτικών μονάδων που αποτελούν μικρογραφία της. Δεδομένων των τρεχουσών συνθηκών και των προσφυγικών ροών κρίνεται σκόπιμο να θιγούν ζητήματα συνύπαρξης και αλληλεπίδρασης των ποικίλων εθνοτικών ομάδων που καλούνται να συμβιώσουν στα εκάστοτε χρονικά και χωρικά πλαίσια. Η παρούσα ανακοίνωση έχοντας ως αφόρμηση τις διδακτικές ενότητες του ρατσισμού, της πολυπολιτισμικότητας, των στερεοτύπων αλλά και του διεθνισμού, όπως αυτές προσεγγίζονται στη διδακτέα ύλη της έκφρασης- έκθεσης του λυκείου, φιλοδοξεί να τονίσει τη σημασία της διαθεματικής και διεπιστημονικής προσέγγισης του ζητήματος. Ειδικότερα, τα αστικά τοπία του Fener και του Balat της Κωνσταντινούπολης αναδεικνύουν την καταλυτική συμβολή της ιστορικής γνώσης ως ανάχωμα στη μισαλλοδοξία και στις προκαταλήψεις ενώ τα μνημεία -ως υλικά αποτυπώματα- λειτουργούν ως ιστορικές πηγές και φέρνουν τους μαθητές σε επαφή με την τέχνη. Τέλος, το παρόν διδακτικό σενάριο δύναται να αξιοποιηθεί στα πλαίσια του πολιτισμικού και εκπαιδευτικού τουρισμού υπογραμμίζοντας τη σπουδαιότητα και τη συνεισφορά των ανταλλαγών μαθητών μέσω των διεθνών εκπαιδευτικών προγραμμάτων.

description: Globalization pushes production and consumption to geographically diverse locations and generates a variety of sizeable opportunities and challenges. The distribution and associated effects of short-lived primary fine particulate matter (PM2.5), a representative of local pollution, are significantly affected by the consumption through global supply chain. Tele-connection is used here to represent the link between production and consumption activity at large distances. In this study, we develop a global consumption-based primary PM2.5 emission inventory to track primary PM2.5 emissions embodied in the supply chain and evaluate the extent to which local PM2.5 emissions are triggered by international trade. We further adopt consumption-based accounting and identify the global original source that produced the emissions. We find that anthropogenic PM2.5 emissions from industrial sectors accounted for 24 Tg globally in 2007; approximately 30% (7.2 Tg) of these emissions were embodied in export of products principally from the Brazil, South Africa, India and China (3.8 Tg) countries to developed countries. Large differences (up to 10 times) in the embodied emissions intensity between net importers and exporters greatly increased total global PM2.5 emissions. Tele-connecting production and consumption activity provides valuable insights with respect to mitigating long-range transboundary air pollution and prompts concerted efforts aiming at more environmentally conscious globalization.

In this work, the use of a newly proposed HMD is investigated to protect CantonTower against undesirable vibration levels and improve its serviceability under wind loading, which is composed of a TMD with two-stage damping level, and a small AMD driven by linear induction motors and mounted on the TMD. For convenient analysis, the tower is simplified as 51 connected rigid panel series model. A reduced-order model of the simplified system is developed using an improved eigenmode reduction method. An H2/LQG control algorithm and a fuzzy logic control are employed for active controller design. The performance of the proposed HMD system is investigated and compared with those of corresponding TMD and ATMD systems. Experimental verification studies are also conducted to test the performance of the proposed HMD system. Finally, the performance of Canton Tower was tested under both cases of free vibration and Typhoon. Results show that the proposed HMD system is feasible, effective and economical.

description: Many scientific and engineering challenges—ranging from personalized medicine to customized marketing recommendations—require an understanding of treatment effect heterogeneity. In this article, we develop a nonparametric causal forest for estimating heterogeneous treatment effects that extends Breiman’s widely used random forest algorithm. In the potential outcomes framework with unconfoundedness, we show that causal forests are pointwise consistent for the true treatment effect and have an asymptotically Gaussian and centered sampling distribution. We also discuss a practical method for constructing asymptotic confidence intervals for the true treatment effect that are centered at the causal forest estimates. Our theoretical results rely on a generic Gaussian theory for a large family of random forest algorithms. To our knowledge, this is the first set of results that allows any type of random forest, including classification and regression forests, to be used for provably valid statistical inference. In experiments, we find causal forests to be substantially more powerful than classical methods based on nearest-neighbor matching, especially in the presence of irrelevant covariates.

description: Blood–brain barrier changes are an integral part of many neurodegenerative diseases. Evans blue is an intravital dye that binds to albumin and can therefore be used to monitor extravasation of this plasma protein across blood–brain barrier in animal models of neurodegeneration. To monitor extravasation of albumin across blood–brain barrier, we developed and validated an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography method for the analysis of Evans blue in rat plasma and brain samples. Analyte was separated on ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm) using a 5-min gradient run and detected by a UV detector. The limits of quantification (LOQ) were 10 µg/mL in plasma and 0.5 µg/g in brain samples. The limits of detection (LOD) were 1 µg/mL in plasma and 0.015 µg/g in brain samples. The method showed excellent linearity with regression coefficients higher than 0.99. The accuracy was within the range of 91–105%. The inter-day precision was in the range of 1.3–8%. The benefits of using UPLC are selectivity, short analysis period, and thus, a very good sample throughput. Using this method, we analyzed albumin extravasation across blood–brain barrier in transgenic rat model for tauopathy SHR-72 and age-matched control animals.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: EACS 2016 Paper No. 114
Tuned liquid damper (TLD), as a low cost and maintenance energy-absorbing device, is an effective passive control technique to suppress structural vibration under wind and seismic loads. The dynamic characteristic of TLD is highly dependent on its geometric sizes as well as liquid volumes. Hence, the relationship between control performance and TLD sizes is critical to the optimization of TLD design. Due to its strongly nonlinear behaviour, experiments rather than pure numerical simulations may be more reasonable to evaluate dynamic responses of structure-TLD systems. In this paper, the real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) is employed to investigate the size effect of TLD on control efficiency, in which TLD devices, with varied geometric sizes, are experimentally modelled as physical substructures, and controlled structures are numerically simulated as numerical substructures. A series of RTHSs are carried out with the premise of same controlled structures as well as mass ratio; and the variation of mass scale is also taken into account. Results show that the TLD performance is sizedependent; a shallow liquid in TLD with lower relative liquid depth may be more efficient on both peak and RMS responses control. Experiments with scaled TLD models will overestimate the control performance of prototype TLD devices, indicating that full-scale TLD experiments should be pursued.

Research shown in this paper is focused on the development of a new filter-based pseudo-negative stiffness (FPNS) control algorithm, which aims to overcome the challenge of the sudden change of control force produced by the conventional PNS control force. The strategy of this method is to produce a negative stiffness friction damping force with a gradual change at velocity switches by employing a low-pass filter. By investigating the time-history curves and the hysteresis loops of the FPNS control force, it is found that the low-pass filter also enables the control force at the original position increases with increasing seismic intensities and helps roll off the high-frequency component of the control force. Only the relative displacement of control devices is required for measurement. A semi-active design is developed to produce the desired reference control force by MR dampers. The structure used for numerical simulation is the base-isolated benchmark building. Seismic responses of the FPNS control, the simple displacement PNS control, the sample semi-active control and the optimal viscous damping control are compared under different seismic intensities. The effectiveness of each control case is evaluated based on the 'ideal isolation control principle'. The results show that the FPNS control can improve the isolation functionality for both low-to-moderate and extreme seismic intensities as well as enhance the isolation safety.

description: Nutrient pollution is a pervasive water quality problem. Stream restoration has been proposed as a novel approach to reduce loading and increase nutrient processing within streams. We summarize evidence from the literature on the efficacy of stream restoration for reducing nutrient loading and increasing nutrient removal in stream ecosystems. We also analyze published data on streambank phosphorus concentrations and riparian and stream denitrification rates to improve understanding of the potential benefits of stream restoration for phosphorus retention and nitrogen removal. Finally, we discuss the role of stream restoration in nutrient management and provide recommendations for practice and future research.

description: EACS 2016 Paper No. 165This study
elucidates experimentally the cyclic behaviour of two moment connection
subassemblages using high-strength steel. Due to the high yield ratio of
the high-strength steel, the moment connections were designed to
characterize widened beam flanges at the column-to-beam interface. The test
results indicated that specimens formed a plastic hinge in the beam section
away from the column face. Extensive yielding and plastification were
observed in the beam section at the intended plastic hinge location.
Local buckling of the beam flange and web occurred finally and caused the strength
deterioration. Both specimens achieved an interstory drift angle of 5% rad and
the plastic rotation of more than 3% rad. Using the high-strength steel,
specimens with widened beam flange moment connection can develop
satisfactory strength and ductile behaviour.

Identification of structural parameters under unknown excitations is an import task in
structural health monitoring. This paper presents an efficient algorithm for simultaneously
identifying structural parameters of a building structure and unknown excitations based on
unscented Kalman filter (UKF). To utilize the UKF method directly, the observation equation
of the structural system with unknown excitations is firstly transformed from a multiple linear
regression equation to a simple linear regression equation by projecting on to the column
space of influence matrix of unknown excitations. Then, an analytical recursive UKF
algorithm is developed for identifying unknown excitations and structural parameters such as
stiffness and damping. The feasibility and accuracy of the proposed algorithm are finally
demonstrated in terms of an example shear building, in which the measurement noise is
included. The results clearly exhibit that the proposed algorithm can simultaneously identify
unknown excitations and structural parameters efficiently and accurately.

description: Recently, there has been an increase in the number of products that are made specifically to alleviate the burdens caused by extreme poverty. These products include the Hippo Roller, d.light, Village Drill, and many more. With the development of these products, there is potential to have a greater social impact through product optimization. In this paper the Hippo Roller is optimized for social impact. The Hippo Roller is a rolling water storage device that addresses the need to transport clean water in developing nations. A multi-objective optimization approach is taken where the objectives are the force to push the Hippo Roller, the days of water provided in one trip, and material costs. Possible solutions are taken from a constructed Pareto front and are presented. These solutions could become different product offerings, appealing to different customer needs of water, cost, and pushing force. The "best" solution selected produces a day’s worth of water per trip, needs a force of 45 pounds to transport, and costs $27.

description: In aquatic ecosystems, estimation of bacterial abundance (BA) is intimately connected to the development of an understanding of the role of bacteria in microbial food webs. Flow cytometry (FC) can rapidly calculate BA, but to date mostly has been applied in marine waters with limited use in shallow eutrophic lakes because of the abundant organic and inorganic matter. To seek the best compromise between precision and the clarity for the differentiation of bacteria from other submicron-sized particles and colloids in eutrophic lakes, we optimized FC instrument settings, fixatives and storage conditions, ultrasonic pre-treatment and staining protocols. Then, BA in Lake Taihu was investigated by the optimized FC procedures. Regression analysis showed good correspondence (R2 = 0.72, p < 0.001, n = 128) of BA counted by FC and epifluorescence microscopy. The developed protocol was successfully applied to monitor the dynamics of BA in the large shallow eutrophic Lake Taihu. A distinct spatio-temporal shift of BA in Lake Taihu was observed. The shift was found to be mainly related to dissolved organic carbon, total suspended solids, water temperature and chlorophyll-a. Our results highlight the effect of sediment re-suspension and algal biomass on BA in eutrophic shallow lakes.

description: Primary caregivers for victims of chronic illness and or trauma experience both positive and negative emotional consequences. These are broadly classified as compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF). Because one of the components of CF, burnout, varies with chronotype and sleep quality, we assessed the influence of chronobiological features on the broader constructs of CS and CF. Responses from primary ambulatory care oncology staff working dayshifts were assessed for potential relationships of chronotype and sleep quality with CS and CF using the professional quality of life scale. These were analyzed further in a multivariate model that included personality and job satisfaction as cofactors. We found that sleep quality was a key contributor to CS development and CF reduction. Morningness was positively linked to CS, but the univariate association was masked in the multivariate model. Job satisfaction (contingent rewards, nature of work and operating procedures) heavily influenced CS and CF development. Agreeableness and openness showed positive correlations with CS and negative with burnout, while emotional stability was linked to reduced CF. While job satisfaction and personality predictably played roles in the development of CS and CF, sleep quality and chronotype contributed significantly to benefits and negative consequences of providing care.

description: A new coordination framework, [Co2(L)2(bpy)2(H2O)]n (1) (H2L = (4-phenyl)-2,6-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)pyridine and bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine), has been prepared and structurally characterized. Complex 1 shows an interesting bi-chain substructure bridged by coordinated water molecules, which is further extended into a three-dimensional (3-D) supramolecular structure by π–π stacking interactions. Moreover, the magnetic properties and photocatalytic activity for degradation of methyl orange have been investigated.

description: Blood-brain barrier changes are an integral part of many neurodegenerative diseases. Evans blue is an intravital dye that binds to albumin and can be therefore used to monitor extravasation of this plasma protein across the blood-brain barrier in animal models of neurodegeneration. To monitor extravasation of albumin across the blood-brain barrier, we developed and validated an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography method for the analysis of Evans blue in rat plasma and brain samples. Analyte was separated on ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm x 50 mm) using a 5 minute gradient run and detected by an UV detector. The limits of quantification (LOQ) were 10 µg/ml in plasma and 0.5 µg/g in brain samples. The limits of detection (LOD) were 1 µg/ml in plasma and 0.015 µg/g in brain samples. The method showed excellent linearity with regression coefficients higher than 0.99. The accuracy was within the range of 91-105%. The inter-day precision was in the range of 1.3-8%. The benefit of using UPLC is selectivity, short analysis period and thus, a very good sample throughput. Using this method, we analysed albumin extravasation across the blood-brain barrier in transgenic rat model for tauopathy SHR-72 and age-matched control animals.

description: The trapping and detection of nitrogen oxide with tungsten trioxide has become a popular research topic in recent years. Knowledge of the complete reaction mechanism for nitrogen oxide adsorption is necessary to improve detector performance. In this work, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the adsorption characteristics and electron transfer of nitrogen dioxide on an oxygen-deficient monoclinic WO3 (0 0 1) surface. We observed different reactions of NO2 on slabs with different O- and WO-terminated WO3 (0 0 1) surfaces with oxygen vacancies. Our calculations show that the bridging oxygen atom on an oxygen defect on an O-terminated WO3 (0 0 1) surface is the active site where an NO2 molecule is oxidised into nitrate and is adsorbed onto the surface. On a WO-terminated (0 0 1) surface, one of the oxygen atoms from the NO2 molecule fills the oxygen vacancy, and the resulting NO fragment is adsorbed onto a W atom. Both of these adsorption models can cause an increase in the electrical resistance of WO3. We also calculated the adsorption energies of NO2 on slabs with different oxygen-deficient WO3 surfaces.

description: Ozone, ultrasound, and ozone/ultrasound processes were evaluated for the removal of 1,4-dioxane from tap water using a continuous flow reactor with on-line aqueous ozone measurement. The addition of ultrasound to ozone was found to significantly boost removal. The removal of 1,4-dioxane by ozone/ultrasound process exceeded the sum of the removals from ozone alone and ultrasound alone. Ultrasound alone showed less than 20% removal of 1,4-dioxane. The effects of reactor pressurization and bicarbonate as a hydroxyl radical scavenger were also studied. It was observed that at constant aqueous ozone concentration, additional pressure in the reactor tended to mute the 1,4-dioxane removal boost noted in the ozone/ultrasound process, while additional pressure did not affect 1,4-dioxane removal via ozone alone. The removal of 1,4-dioxane was found to be dependent on the consumption of aqueous ozone, and the consumption of ozone was found to be increased by either the addition of ultrasound or by increasing pH. Rate constants were calculated for various ozone concentrations for the ozone and ozone/ultrasound processes and the systems were fitted to a Chick–Watson model.

description: Ground dwelling arthropods and other sympatric invertebrates in urban environments often exist completely unnoticed yet are known to provide important ecosystem services1,2,3. The central interior of British Columbia is largely unsurveyed for many taxa, and its urban centers have been particularly ignored. Prince George (population ~75000) is the main industrial and service hub for much of the interior of British Columbia north of Kamloops. Due to rapid industrialization of the central and northern interior of British Columbia, Prince George is also experiencing substantial growth in economic activity and population. Development decisions in this context should be based on sound ecological data, yet little to no urban arthropod biodiversity data exist for the region. We monitored arrays of pitfall traps in three land-use types (residential, greenbelt, industrial; N = 4 for each) on a near-weekly basis during the summer of 2015 in Prince George, British Columbia. Initial sorting and morphospecies-based DNA barcoding has revealed over 180 species as a conservative estimate for γ-diversity. Several groups – such as Megaselia spp. flies (Phoridae), platygastrid wasps, and spiders – show substantial levels of diversity. We are currently working on completing a pictorial catalog of the local fauna to aid in our ongoing sorting and detailed assessment of assemblages found at each land-use type.

description: Objectives: We assessed the ability of patients with autoimmune inflammatory diseases to successfully use the investigational AutoTouch™ reusable autoinjector as well as patient preference for AutoTouch™ versus the currently marketed single-use prefilled etanercept SureClick® autoinjector. Methods: Two multicenter studies were performed: a Home Use Study and a Patient Preference Study. In the Home Use Study, 77 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis self-administered etanercept once weekly for 5 weeks. The primary end point was successful self-injection of etanercept via AutoTouch™. The Patient Preference Study was an open-label, randomized, 8-week crossover trial (4 weeks for each device) in 216 patients with RA or psoriasis (PsO). The primary end point was preference for AutoTouch™ versus SureClick®. Results: In the Home Use Study, the proportion of successful self-injections with AutoTouch™ during weeks 1 through 5 was 97.8% (95% CI, 96.3‒99.3). In the Patient Preference Study, patients had a preference rate for AutoTouch™ of 41.7% (95% CI, 34.9–48.4) overall, 43.5% (95% CI, 35.5‒51.6) for patients with RA, and 36.8% (95% CI, 24.3‒49.4) for patients with PsO. Needle apprehension was not different at initiation of the autoinjectors, nor was there a difference between the injectors after 4 weeks. Overall, patients preferred AutoTouch™ for ease of self-injecting, ease of pressing the start button, ease of following injection progress, and certainty of knowing when the injection was completed. SureClick® was preferred for fewer steps and experiencing less injection site discomfort or pain. Conclusion: The introduction of the AutoTouch™ will give patients a choice between two different autoinjectors for self-administration of etanercept.
