Subaltern voices and postcolonial schizophrenia: The political tensions of M.I.A.’sKala

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Banned from the U.S. during the “war on terror,” the British/Sri Lankan hip-hop artist M.I.A. responded by recording her 2007 album Kala in multiple locations throughout the global South, collating indigenous musical styles and unorthodox recording techniques. Via a critical/cultural analysis, this paper explores M.I.A.’s work on Kala as subaltern resistance mobilized by “differential movement,” particularly in its mode of production, which operated outside of, and in opposition to, institutional mechanisms designed to expunge or neutralize politically subversive art and artists. Yet M.I.A.’s musical sampling also surfaces conflicts between creative freedom and cultural appropriation, emblematizing “postcolonialist/postmodern schizophrenia” (Vályi, 2011.

Kuenzli (Eds.), Cutting across media: Appropriation art, interventionist collage, and copyright law (pp. 219–236). Durham, NC: Duke University Press.).

Comments on “A New Theory for the Generation of the Equatorial Subsurface Countercurrents”

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract From a numerical simulation of the Atlantic Ocean, Jochum and Malanotte-Rizzoli provide evidence that the equatorial subsurface countercurrents can be triggered by tropical instability waves through eddy–mean flow interactions in a low-Rossby-number regime. Adapting the transformed Eulerian mean formalism to a shoaling jet, they propose eddy heat fluxes to be the driving mechanism for the subsurface countercurrents. Here it is shown that such a formalism relying on the existence of a residual meridional streamfunction cannot be applied to a shoaling jet, so that the eddy heat fluxes term in the zonal momentum equation cannot be rigorously justified. Moreover, the role of the zonal pressure gradient that was dropped in their study needs to be reassessed. Despite this mathematical questioning of Jochum and Malanotte-Rizzoli’s framework, the authors agree with them that eddy heat fluxes may contribute to the dynamics of the subsurface countercurrents.
Pathogenicity and genetic characterisation of a novel reassortant, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N6 virus isolated in Korea, 2017

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

We investigated influenza A(H5N6) viruses from migratory birds in Chungnam and Gyeonggi Provinces, South Korea following a reported die-off of poultry in nearby provinces in November 2017. Genetic analysis and virulence studies in chickens and ducks identified our isolate from December 2017 as a novel highly pathogenic avian influenza virus. It resulted from reassortment between the highly virulent H5N8 strain from Korea with the N6 gene from a low-pathogenic H3N6 virus from the Netherlands.
Exploring the relation between students’ research behaviours in project courses and open innovation

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

In this study, the similarities between the actions of design students in product design project courses and open innovation processes were examined through a survey conducted among the students. Studies on open innovation were evaluated together with up-to-date discussions about design and its role in innovation and business environment in general. Since design can take crucial roles in innovation and management, the comparison of design students’ actions in product design courses with probable expectations in the work environment can provide information about if these project courses could act as a preparation for a professional career. The theoretical relation between innovation and design was discussed and was followed by examination of similarities between product design project courses and open innovation environments. Afterwards, a brief field study conducted with third and fourth grade product design students was analyzed to explore any resemblance between their research preferences during product design project courses and open innovation practices. Also, their awareness on the open innovation subject was sought to understand if the possible resemblance was a result of design education’s nature. The results suggest that students’ attitudes during product design project courses are in line with an open innovation concept to a degree, even though their awareness of the subject is low.

'Discourse on the Go': Thematic Analysis of Vehicle Graffiti on the Roads of Egypt

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper investigates graffiti drawn on vehicles in Egypt as an expression of their authors' social values, religious ideologies and political affiliations. Little research has been done in Egypt on these meaning-loaded messages. This paper gives further evidence that graffiti are a very powerful mode of expression for groups that feel disenfranchised by the wider society. The data comprise (614) written graffiti taken from both highway and in-city vehicles from different parts of Egypt. This paper employs Fairclough's (1995) post-structuralist model of discourse analysis which extends the concept of discourse from the traditional and natural 'language in use' to be a social practice per se. One of the aims of this study is to explore the various discourse domains of vehicle graffiti in Egypt through thematically analyzing their patterns of usage. For this aim, the authors have devised a four-pronged thematic classification of such graffiti. The paper also tackles some of the lexical features of graffiti and addresses the language and language variations used. Results show that religious expressions constitute more than half the data. It is also shown that graffiti about the self or car are positive whereas statements about 'the other' are negative. The analysis reveals a strong positive inclination in the social and philosophical expressions with almost nonexistent political graffiti. Keywords: Graffiti, post-structuralist model, Discourse Analysis, discourse domains, Egypt
Red Phosphorus/P25 Nanophotosensitizers Coated with Platelet Membrane for Enhancing Cancer Cells Photodynamic Therapy

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which uses targeted photosensitizing drugs, has been regarded as a promising method for cancer therapy. In the present study, photosensitizer red phosphorus modified P25 nanophotosensitizers (P25‐RP) were generated, which were coated with platelet membrane (P25‐RP@PLT) extracted from platelet rich plasma. The biocompatibility of P25‐RP was demonstrated by cell counting kit‐8 (CCK‐8) and optical microscope assay, more than 93 % cells in the concentration of 100 μg/ml of P25‐RP suspension after co‐incubation for 24 h were still kept alive. The antitumor performance of P25‐RP@PLT was evaluated via CCK‐8 assay, flow cytometry and fluorescence staining of live/dead cells. The experiment results showed that P25‐RP@PLT could ablate 55 % malignant tumor cells upon laser irradiation within 5 min, which was 10 % higher than P25‐RP alone against cancer cells. Mechanistically, the cancer cell toxicity of P25‐RP@PLT nanophotosensitizers was attributed to its heterojunction structure that broadens the absorption spectra, whereas PLT membrane coating technology allows for immune escape and selective adhesion capacity to cancer cells. This work provided a novel pathway on the design of novel visible‐light‐driven photosensitizer for cancer therapy.
Meropenem‐induced immune thrombocytopenia and the diagnostic process of laboratory testing

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND Drug‐induced immune thrombocytopenia (DITP) is a serious, life‐threatening clinical syndrome, the diagnosis of which is consistently difficult. In this report, we present a case of DITP caused by meropenem that was confirmed by laboratory tests. CASE REPORT A 59‐year‐old male patient developed severe thrombocytopenia 8 days after the administration of meropenem and cefoperazone‐sulbactam. After other causes were ruled out, DITP was suspected. Drug‐induced platelet (PLT) antibodies were detected by enzyme immunoassay, flow cytometry, and monoclonal antibody immobilization of PLT antigens (MAIPA). All these tests were performed in the presence and absence of the associated drugs. RESULTS PLT antibodies were detected in the patient's serum only in the presence of meropenem. MAIPA experiments demonstrated that glycoprotein IIb/IIIa was the binding site of the meropenem‐induced PLT antibodies. CONCLUSIONS Drug‐induced immune thrombocytopenia should be considered in cases of acute thrombocytopenia in patients undergoing meropenem treatment. Clinicians should be cognizant of DITP, and a definitive diagnosis should be pursued, if feasible.
Investigation and Differentiation of Degradation Modes Affecting Series Resistance in Photovoltaic Cells and Modules

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Degradation modes affecting series resistance ( R deg,modes ) are one of the major causes of performance degradation in outdoor operating photovoltaic (PV) modules. They have distinct loss incurring mechanisms under different climatic conditions. In this article, major R deg,modes have been investigated for their impact on the electrical parameters and differentiated based on their distinct electrical signatures at both cell and module levels. For this purpose, the major R deg,modes have been identified through cross-characterization of nine unaged PV modules subjected to temperature cycle, humidity freeze, and damp heat test conditions, using electroluminescence imaging and visual inspection. These R deg,modes have been broadly categorized as metallization interruption, metallization corrosion, and cracks with loss in the active cell area. The spatial characteristics of various R deg,modes have been modeled using distributed diode model of a solar cell, which has been experimentally validated. The change in fill factor has been chosen as a base metric to compare various R deg,modes . The results show that combined case of metallization interruptions can be more severe than metallization corrosion. The maximum loss in power of up to 40% has been calculated for interruption at the finger-busbar interface. Furthermore, based on the loss incurring mechanism, various R deg,modes exhibited distinct electrical signatures that were analyzed using normalized percentage change in voltage and current at the maximum power point, which has also been used to distinguish them. The distinct electrical signatures can be used for identification and nondestructive investigation of R deg,modes in the PV modules under field-operating conditions.

Jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) in agroecosystems: a case study to know how friendly some crops can be for native fauna

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

As part of a fragmented landscape, yerba mate and tea are perennial agroecosystems that provide habitat continuity for diverse arthropods. Our objective was to characterize the influence of these two agroecosystems on the native fauna of salticids, measuring the levels of richness, diversity, and density. We hypothesized that the agroecosystems studied do not differ in their capacity to function as reservoirs for the regional fauna of spiders. Each sample comprised suctioning the vegetation in an area of 1 m3 for one minute using a Garden-Vacuum. Twenty-five species of salticids were found. Naubolus posticatus, Chira spinosa, Scopocira histrio and Maeota dichrura were dominant, accounting for more than 20% of the total. Spider densities were similar, 2.21 and 2.47 individuals/m3 in yerba mate and tea. The complexity of the plants was adequate for accommodating several species of salticids. Both crops were also similar in richness and diversity, shared at least 44% of the species, and held more than one fifth of the known richness in the Misiones Atlantic Forest. The discovery of species from an adjacent ecoregion suggests that these crops serve as a reservoir for the fauna and can also act as corridors in the ecotone zone.
Analytical chemistry measurement assurance programs: More than just measurement control programs

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Assurance of measurement accuracy and precision is required and/or recommended by regulations and guides for good laboratory practices for analytical chemistry laboratories. Measurement Control programs(MCPs) and or Measurement Assurance programs (MAPs) are means for determining and controlling the accuracy and precision of a laboratory`s measurements. Regulations and guides often allow for interpretation of what is necessary to assure measurement quality and how it is done. Consequently, a great diversity exists between laboratories` measurement quality control programs. This paper will describe various levels of measurement control(MC) and the differences between a comprehensive MAP and various levels of MCPs. It will explain the benefits of establishing a comprehensive MAP based on a set of basic principles. MCPs range from go/no-go testing of a check standard`s measurement against control limits to a comprehensive MAP. Features of the latter include: an independent verisimilitude (matrix matched) standard having known uncertainties; customer tolerance limits as well as control limits; statistical tests for bias and precision testing; and estimating the total measurement process uncertainty based upon the combination of both the measurement system and standard`s uncertainties. A commercial measurement assurance program (JTIPMAP TradeMark) was evaluated by the author`s laboratories and compared to locally developed as well as other commercial software packages. Results of the evaluation, comparisons, conclusions and recommendations are presented.
Response of Zucchini to the Electrical Conductivity of the Nutrient Solution in Hydroponic Cultivation

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The effect of two levels of electrical conductivity (EC) at 2.2 dS/m-1 and 4.4 dS/m-1 in two nutrient solutions was studied in a hydroponic culture of zucchini Cucurbita pepo var. Abodanza, during the growing period in a heated glasshouse. The experimental premises consisted of 8 double sloping benches (10x 0.4 x 0.6 m), which were by two equipped for the collection of the runoff with a calibrated 100 L tank. The system of the water fertilization was fully automated and the hydroponic system was renewed every 1 hour daily. In order to study the impact of the EC over the hydroponic cultivation of zucchini, two interventions were conducted with a fully randomized design of 14 replicates. The environmental parameters controlled with sensors during the hydroponic cultivation had the following values: Temperature: (08:00) 19.6 oC, (14:00 h) 27 oC. The assessment of the impact of the EC during the growing period in hydroponic cultivation was conducted every second day from the 33th day after the zucchinis were transplanted into the hydroponic system and until and until 68th day after transplanting. The weight of the fresh and dry fruit of the fruit's stalk did not statistically differ in the hydroponic sub-layer in any treatment. The mean value of the total soluble solid components of the fruits is significantly different in the two conductivity levels, that is in the conductivity of 2.2 dS/m-1 it was 5.19 0Brix and in 4.4 dS/m-1 it was 5.48 0Brix. The female flowers were fewer than the male flower. The number of male and female flowers of the zucchini in both conductivity levels was 7,52(male) and 4,01(female) in 2.2 dS/m and 7,50 (male) and 4,30 (female) in 4.4 dS/m EC, respectively. The length and the diameters of the zucchini fruits and of fruits stalk did not differ in the two the levels of electrical conductivity
Excited states and valley effects in a negatively charged impurity in a silicon FinFET.

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The observation and characterization of a single atom system in silicon is a significant landmark in half a century of device miniaturization, and presents an important new laboratory for fundamental quantum and atomic physics. We compare with multi-million atom tight binding (TB) calculations the measurements of the spectrum of a single two-electron (2e) atom system in silicon - a negatively charged (D-) gated Arsenic donor in a FinFET. The TB method captures accurate single electron eigenstates of the device taking into account device geometry, donor potentials, applied fields, interfaces, and the full host bandstructure. In a previous work, the depths and fields of As donors in six device samples were established through excited state spectroscopy of the D0 electron and comparison with TB calculations. Using self-consistent field (SCF) TB, we computed the charging energies of the D- electron for the same six device samples, and found good agreement with the measurements. Although a bulk donor has only a bound singlet ground state and a charging energy of about 40 meV, calculations show that a gated donor near an interface can have a reduced charging energy and bound excited states in the D- spectrum. Measurements indeed reveal reduced charging energies andmore » bound 2e excited states, at least one of which is a triplet. The calculations also show the influence of the host valley physics in the two-electron spectrum of the donor.« less
Investigating cooccurrence patterns and dynamics for many imperfectly detected species, using a log-linear modelling parameterisation

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Patterns in, and the underlying dynamics of, species cooccurrence is of interest in many ecological applications. Unaccounted for, imperfect detection of the species can lead to misleading inferences about the nature and magnitude of any interaction. A range of different parameterisations have been published that could be used with the same fundamental modelling framework that accounts for imperfect detection, although each parameterisation has different advantages and disadvantages. We propose a parameterisation based on log-linear modelling that does not require a species hierarchy to be defined (in terms of dominance), and enables a numerically robust approach for estimating covariate effects. Conceptually the parameterisation is equivalent to using the presence of species in the current, or a previous, time period as predictor variables for the current occurrence of other species. This leads to natural, ’symmetric’, interpretations of parameter estimates. The parameterisation can be applied to many species, in either a maximum-likelihood or Bayesian estimation framework. We illustrate the method using camera trapping data collected on three mesocarnivore species in South Texas.
Novel Continuous Time MILP Formulation for Multipurpose Batch Plants. 2. Integrated Planning and Scheduling

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

While the first part of this series focuses on the application of the proposed formulation to scheduling, this paper focuses mainly on the integration of planning and scheduling in multipurpose batch plants. In dealing with this problem, the method presented in this paper exploits the mathematical structure of the overall plant model. It is discovered that the overall model exhibits a block angular structure that is decomposed by raw material allocation. If raw materials can be allocated optimally to individual plants, solving individual models for each plant can produce the same results as solving an overall model for the site. This discovery leads to a decomposition strategy that consists of two levels. In the first level, only planning decisions are made, and the objective function is the maximization of the overall profit. The results from solving the planning model give optimal raw material allocation to different plants. In the second level, the raw material targets from the first (planning) level are incorporated into the scheduling submodels for each plant, which are solved independently without compromising global optimality. The objective function for each scheduling submodel is the maximization of product throughput. The scheduling level uses the concept of the state sequence network presented in part 1. Solving scheduling submodels for individual plants rather than the overall site model leads to problems with much a smaller number of binary variables and, hence, shorter CPU times. If conflicts arise, i.e., the planning targets are too optimistic to be realized at the scheduling level, the planning model is revisited with more realistic targets. This eventually becomes an iterative procedure that terminates once the planning and scheduling solutions converge within a specified tolerance. In this way, the planning model acts as coordination for scheduling models for individual plants. An industrial case study with three chemical processes is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.
The Freezing Rotation Illusion

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract A continuously rotating central texture (center) is presented together with a patterned surround oscillating back and forth. Generally, rotation of the surround induces misperceptions of the center’s angular velocity, which are known as induced rotational motion: a physically rotating center is perceived as turning faster when counterrotating with its surround and turning slower when co-rotating. However, during co-rotation, additional velocity misperceptions are observed: (a) a percept of motionless center (freezing rotation illusion) arises when the average angular velocity of the surround is fixed to a much higher value than that of the center and the appropriate oscillation frequency is set, and (b) a percept of the center sticking to its surround (rotational motion capture) arises when the average angular velocity of the surround is lower than the center velocity but higher than a given fraction of it.
