The influence on surface condensation risk of lower ventilation rates: the case of the proposal of indoor air quality requirement for the Spanish regulations

As a result of recent research at the Eduardo Torroja Institute for construction sciences, a new wording for the indoor air quality (IAQ) regulations for dwellings included in the Spanish Building Code has come into force with the main goal of adapting required ventilation rates to real needs to consequently achieve a reduction of energy demand with no negative impact on indoor air quality or on condensation risk. This paper summarises the research that was carried out to assess the variation in the surface condensation risk due to the reduction of the ventilation rates. A method to assess the influence of variations in ventilation on surface condensation risk was adapted. Results show how it should be possible to achieve target CO2 concentration values in addition to not significantly increase the risk of surface condensation.

Comparison of Bending Strength for Metal-Diamond Composites of Two Bond Matrices

The present study was undertaken to examine the effects of metal coatings on the surfaces of diamond crystals embedded in two kinds of bond matrix. Diamonds with or without coatings were incorporated into two matrices for hot-pressing, thereby forming four kinds of diamond composites. The transverse rupture strength (TRS) of the composites was measured to assess the bending strength of the composites. SEM and EDS were used to analyze the fractured surfaces of the composites. It was found that the TRS of the composites containing coated diamonds increased in both bond matrices. But the coatings in the bond matrix without rare earth increased TRS a little more than the case with rare earth due to a different failure mechanism of metal coatings.

Ultra-Short-Term Wind Power Combined Prediction Based on Complementary Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition, Whale Optimisation Algorithm, and Elman Network

Accurate wind power forecasting helps relieve the regulation pressure of a power system, which is of great significance to the power system’s operation. However, achieving satisfactory results in wind power forecasting is highly challenging due to the random volatility characteristics of wind power sequences. This study proposes a novel ultra-short-term wind power combined prediction method based on complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA), and the Elman neural network model. The model can not only solve the phenomenon of easy modal mixing in decomposition but also avoid the problems of reconstruction error and low efficiency in the decomposition process. Furthermore, a new metaheuristic algorithm, WOA, was introduced to optimize the model and improve the accuracy of wind power prediction. Considering a wind farm as an example, several wind turbines were selected to simulate and analyse wind power by using the established prediction model, and the experimental results suggest that the proposed method has a higher prediction accuracy of ultra-short-term wind power than other prediction models.

Significant leak after <scp>TAVR</scp>: A plug is an option

Key Points Paravalvular leak (PVL) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is not as frequent or severe with the evolution of the procedure. Significant PVL increases mortality and heart failure related hospitalization. While the data is limited, closure of the PVL with vascular plugs in anatomically suitable patients seems to have favorable outcomes.

Planning, Politics, and City-County Consolidation: Connecting the Dots in Albuquerque

Abstract In November, voters in the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, New Mexico will be asked whether the two governments should get hitched. More accurately, the question on the ballot will be whether or not to accept a unification charter that will consolidate the two existing governments into a single urban county government. The voters rejected the idea in 2003, with 61.5 percent of them voting against it. Whether or not there's a different result this year depends, among other things, on whether city and county residents understand the planning, growth, and land use implications of maintaining the status quo versus consolidation.

The lantern slide and art history

Abstract About 150 years ago, the first art history courses appeared in America and attracted the attention of inquisitive young students. It all began at Princeton in 1831-32, when the study of Roman antiquities was introduced and lectures on historical architecture were given. Soon such institutions as New York University, Yale, the University of Vermont, and the University of Michigan began giving courses; by the time of the Civil War six colleges had instituted such offerings with varying degrees of success.

Inequality of Opportunity, Income Inequality and Economic Mobility : Some International Comparisons

Despite a recent surge in the number of studies attempting to measure inequality of opportunity in various countries, methodological differences have so far prevented meaningful international comparisons. This paper presents a comparison of ex-ante measures of inequality of economic opportunity (IEO) across 41 countries, and of the Human Opportunity Index (HOI) for 39 countries. It also examines international correlations between these indices and output per capita, income inequality, and intergenerational mobility. The analysis finds evidence of a Kuznets curve for inequality of opportunity, and finds that the IEO index is positively correlated with overall income inequality, and negatively with measures of intergenerational mobility, both in incomes and in years of schooling. The HOI is highly correlated with the Human Development Index, and its internal measure of inequality of opportunity yields very different country rankings from the IEO measure.

The Social Context of Political Change: Durability, Volatility, and Social Influence

This article translates several explanations for contextual effects upon politics into mathematical, dynamic representations. These representations are used to consider several questions. Under what circumstances does the social context lead to durability and volatility in mass political preferences? Do different specifications of contextual influence lead to different conclusions regarding its dynamic consequences? Does the social context have different dynamic implications for individual preference and for the aggregate preferences of the population as a whole? These questions are not addressed by gathering and analyzing data, but rather by examining the deductive consequences of the various explanations for contextual influence.

Inertial Automorphisms of an Abelian Group

An automorphisms \gamma of a group is inertial if X\cap X^\gamma has finite index in both X and X^\gamma for any subgroup X . We study inertial automorphisms of abelian groups and give characterization of them. In particular, if the group is periodic they have property that X^{\langle\gamma\rangle}/X_{\langle\gamma\rangle} is bounded. We also study finitely generated groups of inertial automorphisms.

Comparison of three enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and a direct fluorescent-antibody test for detection of respiratory syncytial virus antigen

We prospectively evaluated three enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) and a direct fluorescent-antibody (DFA) test for respiratory syncytial virus detection. Of 90 specimens, 79% gave the same results in all four tests (30 positive and 41 negative) and 97% were in agreement in three of the four assays. The agreement between the direct fluorescent-antibody test and each enzyme immunoassay was greater than or equal to 86%.

James Joyce and the Epiphanic Inscription: Towards an Art of Gesture as Rhythm

In Agency and Embodiment, Carrie Noland describes gesture as “a type of inscription, a parsing of the body into signifying and operational units”, considering it as a means to read and decode the human body. Through an analysis of James Joyce’s collection of Epiphanies, my paper will examine how gesture, as a mode of expression of the body, can be transcribed on the written page. Written and collected to record a “spiritual manifestation” shining through “in the vulgarity of speech or gesture, or in a memorable phase of the mind itself”, Joyce’s Epiphanies can be considered as the first step in his sustained attempt to develop an art of gesture-as-rhythm. These short pieces appear as the site in which the author seeks, through the medium of writing, to negotiate and redefine the boundaries of the physical human body. Moving towards a mapping of body and mind through the concept of rhythm, and pointing to a collaboration and mutual influence between interiority and exteriority, the Epiphanies open up a space for the reformulation of the relationship between the human body and its environment. Unpacking the ideas that sit at the heart of the concept of epiphany, the paper will shed light on how this particular mode of writing produces a rhythmic art of gesture, fixing and simultaneously liberating human and nonhuman bodies on the written page.

The effect of lengthening the school day on children's achievement in Ethiopia

Many schools in developing countries have four-hour school days and teach two groups of children each day. Governments are considering lengthening the school day, at great expense, to improve school quality. Advocates of the shift system argue the reform is unnecessary, as evidence from developed countries suggests increasing instructional time only improves achievement scores by small amounts. This paper is the first study of the effect of a large increase in instructional time in a low-income country. In 2005, the Ethiopian federal government directed school districts to abolish teaching in shifts and to lengthen the school day from four to six hours. Districts implemented the reform at different times, creating exogenous variation in instructional time. I use a difference-in-difference specification controlling for time-invariant unobservables at school level on a unique longitudinal dataset. For 8-year-old children, a longer school day improved writing and mathematics scores, but had no significant effect on reading. However, effects are larger among better-off children: children who are not stunted, children from richer households, and children in urban schools. The exception is that the reform has larger positive effects on girls than boys. The reform thus improves achievement on average, but may exacerbate gaps between wealthier and poorer children.

Quality Upgrading, Trade, and Market Structure in Food Processing Industries

In this paper the heterogeneous firms and trade literature is extended by integrating quality of inputs and outputs in a food and agricultural setting, along with an analysis of how the ability to translate capability into higher product quality is critical in evaluating the cut-offs for food processing firms to enter domestic and export markets. Specifically, it is found that the direction of change in the domestic market cut-off, due to an increased ability to raise quality, is sensitive to key parameters of the capability distribution; while for the export market cut-off the direction of change depends on the fixed costs of entry into and rents from exporting. These hypotheses are then tested for using panel data for Chilean food processors.

Time Series Data Mining Algorithms Towards Scalable and Real-Time Behavior Monitoring

In recent years, there have been unprecedented technological advances in sensor technology, and sensors have become more affordable than ever. Thus, sensor-driven data collection is increasingly becoming an attractive and practical option for researchers around the globe. Such data is typically extracted in the form of time series data, which can be investigated with data mining techniques to summarize behaviors of a range of subjects including humans and animals. While enabling cheap and mass collection of data, continuous sensor data recording results in datasets which are big in size and volume, which are challenging to process and analyze with traditional techniques in a timely manner. Such collected sensor data is typically extracted in the form of time series data. There are two main approaches in the literature, namely, shape-based classification and feature-based classification. Shape-based classification determines the best class according to a distance measure. Feature-based classification, on the other hand, measures properties of the time series and finds the best class according to the set of features defined for the time series. In this dissertation, we demonstrate that neither of the two techniques will dominate for some problems, but that some combination of both might be the best. In other words, on a single problem, it might be possible that one of the techniques is better for one subset of the behaviors, and the other technique is better for another subset of behaviors. We introduce a hybrid algorithm to classify behaviors, using both shape and feature measures, in weakly labeled time series data collected from sensors to quantify specific behaviors performed by the subject. We demonstrate that our algorithm can robustly classify real, noisy, and complex datasets, based on a combination of shape and features, and tested our proposed algorithm on real-world datasets.

[Apoptosis and myopathies].

Recently a new type of cell death, apoptosis, was reported in the biological and many other fields. In an attempt to determine whether the Fas-Fas-ligand mediated apoptosis operates in the pathologic process of human myopathies, we examined the expression of Fas antigen, the synthesis of Fas-ligand mRNA, and the presence of chromosomal DNA fragmentation in the muscles from patients with various human muscle disorders. The Fas antigen of a whole molecule that can transduces the apoptotic signal into the cytoplasm was expressed on the muscle fibers of patients with various muscle wasting diseases. Its expression on muscle fibers was not disease specific, and the frequency of it becomes high according to the extent of the alteration of the muscle pathology. However, there was no evidence of operating the apoptotic process, that is no DNA fragmentation by TUNEL method. Furthermore, no Fas-ligand synthesis was detected in the diseased muscle tissue by RT-PCR method. Our data suggest that the expression of Fas antigen on muscle fibers in diseased muscles might be related to unknown biological functions other than "apoptosis" in the process of muscle fiber injury.

Higher antibody titres against Pseudogymnoascus destructans are associated with less white-nose syndrome skin lesions in Palearctic bats

Introduction Serological tests can be used to test whether an animal has been exposed to an infectious agent, and whether its immune system has recognized and produced antibodies against it. Paired samples taken several weeks apart then document an ongoing infection and/or seroconversion. Methods In the absence of a commercial kit, we developed an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the fungus-specific antibodies for Pseudogymnoascus destructans , the agent of white-nose syndrome in bats. Results and Discussion Samples collected from European Myotis myotis (n=35) and Asian Myotis dasycneme (n=11) in their hibernacula at the end of the hibernation period displayed 100% seroprevalence of antibodies against P. destructans , demonstrating a high rate of exposure. Our results showed that the higher the titre of antibodies against P. destructans , the lower the infection intensity, suggesting that a degree of protection is provided by this arm of adaptive immunity in Palearctic bats. Moreover, P. destructans infection appears to be a seasonally self-limiting disease of Palearctic bats showing seroconversion as the WNS skin lesions heal in the early post-hibernation period.
