A case study on reinforcement and design application of reinforced earth wall using micro pile

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

본 연구에서는 교대에 인접하여 시공된 보강토옹벽에서 발생한 구조물 변형에 대한 원인을 분석하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 시공된 보강토옹벽의 단면을 유지함과 동시에 구조물의 안정성을 확보할 수 있도록 마이크로 파일을 이용한 보강방안에 대하여 안정성을 평가하였다. 연구대상 구조물의 지속적인 변형은 구조물의 주변환경 조건에 큰 영향을 받은 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 기초지반의 지지력을 감소시켜 중요구조물로서의 안정성 저해요인으로 작용하였다. 이에 보강토옹벽의 지지력 및 전체사면에 대한 안정성을 확보할 수 있도록 보강방안으로 마이크로 파일을 적용하였으며, 이에 대한 안정성 평가 결과, 구조물의 변형 및 구조물을 포함하는 전체사면에 대한 안정성을 확보할 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 시공여건 및 주변환경 조건에 의해 보강토옹벽의 재시공이 불가능한 경우에는 마이크로 파일을 이용한 보강이 충분히 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. This paper describes reinforcement method of reinforced earth wall near the abutment. The excessive displacement of a case affected by reduction of bearing capacity due to macro-environment condition like a coast. That is, the front displacement of reinforced earth wall has been happening continuously due to strength reduction of foundation ground. The micro pile is applied to reinforcement method, in order to secure a bearing capacity and global slope stability of reinforced earth wall. The results of numerical analysis confirmed that reinforcement method based on micro pile can secure a stability of structure, while the reconstruction of reinforced earth wall is impossible by construction and macro-environment condition.

Thermal Imaging of Exercise-Associated Skin Temperature Changes in Swimmers Subjected to 2-min Intensive Exercise on a VASA Swim Bench Ergometer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

An important element of swimming training is the improvement of muscle strength and the technique of swimming movements on dry land. The heat generated by the muscles involved in the effort contributes to a change in the temperature of the skin surface, which can be assessed by the IRT method. The aim of the study was to assess the symmetry and dynamics of changes in surface temperatures of selected areas of the body in swimmers after exercise on a swimming ergometer with the use of IRT. A total of 12 swimmers (aged 19 ± 1.3 years) completed a two-minute stress test (front crawl swimming movements) using a VASA Swim Ergometer, with a load of 5. Using an IRT camera (FLIR E60), postexercise changes in back and upper limbs surface temperature in relation to the resting values were observed. After exercise, the temperature value of all assessed areas decreased, apparently in the area of the back and the back of the arms, returning to the baseline values after 12 min of observation. There was no asymmetry in mean temperature values between the right and left upper limbs. IRT is a noninvasive and sensitive tool for the individual analysis of changes in body surface temperature in swimmers after training on dry land.
A New Concept of Curricular Reform of the Music Education Programme in Teachers Colleges

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

To meet the needs of the society, the curriculum for the music education programme in teachers colleges must be reformed, with the goal of cultivation renewed. On the one hand, the form must be combined with that of the basic courses, showing the characteristic of teachertraining. On the other hand, it must aim for the competence of the students based on the requirement of employment market. That is to say, the reform must serve two objectives, to train the students to be both teachers of music and qualified musicians.
Use of Nitroxide Spin Probes and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance for Assessing Reducing Power of Beer. Role of SH Groups

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Intensity of EPR spectra of stable organic free radicals, nitroxides, is decreasing with time if the radicals are dissolved in beer. The process is determined by a chemical reaction of nitroxide reduction by components naturally present in beer. Kinetics can be described as a simple irreversible first order with respect to both nitroxide and one reducing agent. Effective concentration of the reducing agent and the corresponding reaction rate constant has been determined. It is demonstrated that the nitroxide reduction is sensitive to the presence of solvent-accessible SH groups of proteins present in beer. It is proposed that quantitative analysis of reduction kinetics of small water-soluble nitroxide radicals such as TEMPO and TEMPOL can be used to assess the reducing power of beer. The effect of accelerated aging of beer achieved at elevated temperatures on nitroxide reduction kinetics is demonstrated. Keywords: Beer; EPR; nitroxides; reducing power; spin traps; antioxidant pool

A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis of the Decision to Locate on a University Research Park

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

University research parks constitute a potentially important mechanism for university technology transfer and regional economic development. Unfortunately, there is little theoretical or empirical evidence on the firm-level choice decision to locate on such a facility. We fill this gap by outlining and testing a theoretical model of this selection process. Our empirical results suggest that U.S. firms locating on university research parks are more research active and more diversified than the typical public firm reporting R&D activity. We discuss the managerial implications of these findings.
Effect of dried distillers' grain, soybean meal and grain or canola meal and grain-based supplements on forage intake and digestibility

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Van De Kerckhove, A. Y., Lardner, H. A., Yu, P., McKinnon J. J. and Walburger, K. 2011. Effect of dried distillers' grain, soybean meal and grain or canola meal and grain-based supplements on forage intake and digestibility. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 91: 123-132. Four ruminally cannulated beef heifers (72 wk of age) were individually fed a basal ration of 75% ground barley straw and 25% ground bromegrass hay [total digestible nutrients=46.3, crude protein (CP)=7.5 (% dry matter (DM))]. Heifers were supplemented with either (1) no supplement (CONT); (2) dried distillers' grains plus solubles [70:30 wheat:corn blend; dried distillers' grains plus solubles (DDGS)]; (3) commercial range pellet (COMM); or (4) barley grain and canola meal (BAR+CM). Forage intake, apparent total tract digestibility, passage rate, rate and extent of forage degradation, rumen pH and rumen ammonia nitrogen were measured. Forage intake, passage rate, and apparent total tract digestibility of DM, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber were unaffected (P>0.41) by treatment. Apparent total tract digestibility of CP was increased (P=0.02) with supplements as compared with CONT, but did not differ (P>0.05) among DDGS, COMM, and BAR+CM. Ruminal pH was not affected (P=0.20) by treatment, but rumen ammonia-N was increased (P<0.01) with all three supplements. Potentially degradable and undegradable forage fractions were decreased (P<0.02) and there was a tendency (P=0.06) for the rate of forage DM degradation to increase with supplementation. Supplementing forage diets with either DDGS, grain-soybean-canola- or grain-canola-based supplements did not increase the intake or digestibility of a forage-based diet. More research, however, is required to study the feasibility of feeding these supplements at greater levels with forage-based beef cattle diets.

Biased T-Cell Antigen Receptor Repertoire in Lyme Arthritis

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT A common concern with many autoimmune diseases of unknown etiology is the extent to which tissue T-lymphocyte infiltrates, versus a nonspecific infiltrate, reflect a response to the causative agent. Lyme arthritis can histologically resemble rheumatoid synovitis, particularly the prominent infiltration by T lymphocytes. This has raised speculation about whether Lyme synovitis represents an ongoing response to the causative spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi , or rather a self-perpetuating autoimmune reaction. In an effort to answer this question, the present study examined the repertoire of infiltrating T cells in synovial fluid from nine Lyme arthritis patients, before and after stimulation with B. burgdorferi . Using a highly sensitive and consistent quantitative PCR technique, a comparison of the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) β-chain variable (Vβ) repertoires of the peripheral blood and synovial fluid showed a statistically significant increase in expression of Vβ2 and Vβ6 in the latter. This is remarkably similar to our previous findings in studies of rheumatoid arthritis and to other reports on psoriatic skin lesions. However, stimulation of synovial fluid T cells with B. burgdorferi provoked active proliferation but not a statistically significant increase in expression of any TCR Vβ, including Vβ2 and Vβ6. Collectively, the findings suggest that the skewing of the TCR repertoire of fresh synovial fluid in Lyme arthritis may represent more a synovium-tropic or nonspecific inflammatory response, similar to that occurring in rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, rather than a specific Borrelia reaction.
GPS-Palm: a deep learning-based graphic presentation system for the prediction ofS-palmitoylation sites in proteins

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract As an important reversible lipid modification, S-palmitoylation mainly occurs at specific cysteine residues in proteins, participates in regulating various biological processes and is associated with human diseases. Besides experimental assays, computational prediction of S-palmitoylation sites can efficiently generate helpful candidates for further experimental consideration. Here, we reviewed the current progress in the development of S-palmitoylation site predictors, as well as training data sets, informative features and algorithms used in these tools. Then, we compiled a benchmark data set containing 3098 known S-palmitoylation sites identified from small- or large-scale experiments, and developed a new method named data quality discrimination (DQD) to distinguish data quality weights (DQWs) between the two types of the sites. Besides DQD and our previous methods, we encoded sequence similarity values into images, constructed a deep learning framework of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and developed a novel algorithm of graphic presentation system (GPS) 6.0. We further integrated nine additional types of sequence-based and structural features, implemented parallel CNNs (pCNNs) and designed a new predictor called GPS-Palm. Compared with other existing tools, GPS-Palm showed a &gt;31.3% improvement of the area under the curve (AUC) value (0.855 versus 0.651) for general prediction of S-palmitoylation sites. We also produced two species-specific predictors, with corresponding AUC values of 0.900 and 0.897 for predicting human- and mouse-specific sites, respectively. GPS-Palm is free for academic research at http://gpspalm.biocuckoo.cn/.
Humidity control of particle emissions in aeolian systems

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Humidity is an important control of the wind speed required to entrain particles into an air flow and is well known to vary on a global scale, as do dust emissions. This paper reports on wind tunnel experiments which quantify this control through placing a polymer capacitance sensor immediately at the bed surface. The sensor measured changes in the humidity (RH) of the pore air in real time. RH was varied between 15% and 80% and the critical wind speed determined for the release of particles to the air stream. The results strongly support earlier suggestions that fine particles are most affected in relatively dry atmospheres, particularly those which are tightly packed. An analytical model is proposed to describe this relationship which depends on determination of the matric potential from the Kelvin equation. The total contact area between particle asperities adjoined by pendular rings is represented as a power function of the number of layers of adsorbed water. The value of the exponent appears to be governed by the surface roughness of the particles and their packing arrangement. Parallel developments in colloid interface science and atomic force microscopy, relevant to industrial and pharmaceutical applications, support these conclusions in principle and will likely have an important bearing on future progress in parameterization of the proposed model.
Effectiveness of Harvester Ant Mounds as Sample Sources Based on Geographic Comparison of Oxfordian (Jurassic) Marine Fauna, Wyoming, USA

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Western harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex occidentalis) are a species of large red ant native to the American West. During the formation of their nests, harvester ants generate distinct, well-sorted mounds of excavated material and waste. The size of material usually falls between 2-64 mm and is constrained by the maximum carrying capacity of the ants. Paleontologists studying small fossils often collect samples from harvester ant mounds. However, this method of collection may be prone to sample bias and the ability of anthill samples to accurately represent paleoenvironment and faunal diversity is unclear. A pilot study was conducted on Oxfordian (Jurassic) marine fauna collected from harvester ant mounds in the Redwater Shale Member of the Sundance Formation. Twenty-one samples from four different locations across Wyoming were analyzed to obtain the relative abundances of different taxa. A general shallowing-eastward model was used to estimate relative water depths, from which predictions of the community content and variation were derived. All the taxa present in the samples were predicted in the expected model; no anomalous or unexpected fossil specimens were found. These results indicate that the harvester ants stayed within the predicted range and the mound did not become mixed with material from higher in the stratigraphic column, so samples from anthill mounds are effectively constrained. Analysis of the relative abundances of taxa between the locations revealed no clear trends, so these results do not support the expected model. However, the expected model is very general and the samples may be reflecting slight variations in water depth or other paleoenvironmental factors. Anthill-collected material may still accurately reflect the paleobiogeography of the area, and is still an effective and useful tool. More conclusive results may be obtained with a larger sample size and area.
YUJ: An Innovative Model for Sharing and Re-using the Elite Research data in the Big Data Environment

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The advent of Information and Communication technology (ICT) has resulted in a remarkable change in the sharing and re-use of data among academic and scientific community. The wide spectrum of collaboration and interaction among the scientists and academia within the campus has extended further so that the research and research outcomes are shared globally. Conventionally it was done through research publications, and later through digital libraries and online repositories. These platforms fulfil the idea of sharing and reuse of data, but an exclusive platform for collaborative and collective representation of academic informatics is the need of the hour. This paper explains the features of an innovative and cost effective model for sharing and re-use of academic informatics developed by Cochin University of Science & Technology (CUSAT).
Investigating the Knowledge-Sharing Behavior ina Professional Virtual Community

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This research aims at investigating the knowledge sharing-behaviors in a teachers’ professional virtual community. Logs data in the entire community and in special interest groups (SIGs) were analyzed. Some typical behaviors were identified by the clustering analysis in this study. The largest group of member belongs to inactive users. They rarely log in the system, are passive in uploading or downloading teaching materials, and almost never post or reply messages. Another group is active in receiving knowledge while reluctant to give knowledge or to respond. The third group frequently login the system, is the most active in sharing knowledge, and actively searching knowledge. However, the third group contains only a small number of members. Furthermore, fifty-five members of the knowledge-sharing group were interviewed using focus group technique to find out qualitative information as to why they are willing to share information and what are their concerns in sharing information.\nThe results indicated that knowledge sharing is not a common behavior in professional virtual community, and knowledge-sharing culture is difficult to promote even in non-competitive professional communities. Secondly, knowledge cannot flow easily throughout the community even when certain knowledge flow promoting mechanism is provided. Thirdly, professional autonomy may hinder the frequency of interactions with others in professional virtual community. Fourthly, attitudes regarding information ownership are important factors in knowledge sharing of a professional virtual community. Finally, teaching and IT usage experiences are not major factors affecting knowledge-sharing behavior in pro fessional virtual communities.
Entrepreneurship, mental disorders and the saga of the adventure gene: debunking the fad of hardwired entrepreneurship

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This paper disputes the thesis that a self-reported mental condition of apparent genetic origin makes its carriers entertain entrepreneurial intentions and assesses its implications for entrepreneurship-driven economic development. The findings are that the research in question mistakes true causative agents for superficial cause-hiding vectors, thus confusing a self-reported attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) condition with the cause of entrepreneurial intentions. This is all the more so because ADHD was not properly accounted for, relying instead on the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students Survey (GUESSS), self-administered without diagnostic evidence. Thus, entrepreneurship has been turned on its head, being misrepresented as a hardwired, innate human trait instead of a course of action that hinges on subjective preferences that can be influenced by the structure of rewards shaped by public policy. This misrepresentation may dwell in the so-called ‘hardness bias’, which underestimates the softer but crucial test of the quality of conjectures. The originality of this paper lies in the use of the harmful-dysfunction analysis, showing that the entrepreneurship research in question is based on a bogus notion of disorder.
