Serratia aquatilis sp. nov. isolated from drinking water systems.
Venue: International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology

A cream white pigmented, oxidase negative bacterium (strain 2015 2462 01T) isolated from a drinking water system, was investigated in detail to determine its taxonomic position. Cells of the isolate were rod shaped and stained Gram negative. A comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 2015 2462 01T with sequences of the type strains of closely related species of the genus Serratia revealed highest similarity to Serratia fonticola (98.4 Serratia proteamaculans (97.8 Serratia liquefaciens and Serratia grimesii (both 97.7 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to all other Serratia species were below 97.4 Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) on the basis of concatenated partial gyrB, rpoB, infB and atpD gene sequences showed a clear distinction of strain 2015 2462 01T from the type strains of the closest related Serratia species. The fatty acid profile of the strain consisted of C16 1 o7c, C16 0; C14 0 and C14 0 3 OH/iso C16 1 I as major components. DNA DNA hybridizations between 2015 2462 01T and S. fonticola ATCC 29844T resulted in a relatedness value of 27 (reciprocal 20 This DNA DNA hybridization result in combination with the MLSA results and the differential biochemical properties indicated that strain 2015 2462 01T represents a novel species of the genus Serratia, for which the name Serratia aquatilis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 2015 2462 01T LMG 29119T CCM 8626T)
Rare Earth separation using bacteria

The rare earth elements are critical to many green energy technologies but are difficult to separate from one another because of their chemical similarity. We demonstrate an alternative, biogenic method based on the adsorption of lanthanide to the bacterium Roseobacter sp. AzwK 3b, immobilized on an assay filter, followed by subsequent desorption as a function of pH. The elution desorption data suggest that the basicity of the individual lanthanides is important in determining their desorption behavior. It is found that via preprotonation of the bacteria it is possible to concentrate a solution of equal concentrations of each lanthanide to nearly 50% of the three heaviest lanthanides (Tm, Lu, and Yb) in just two passes. This surpasses existing industrial practice. The findings suggest that there is an opportunity to harness the diversity of bacterial surface chemistry to separate and recover technologically important rare earth metals in an environmentally benign manner.
The Sustainable and Efficient Ionic Liquid Type Saponification Strategy for Rare Earth Separation Processing

For the development of sustainable and efficient separation technology for rare earth elements (REEs) the ionic liquid type saponification strategy is first put forward in this paper. The extraction mechanism of [trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium][sec octylphenoxy acetate] [P6,6,6,14][SOPAA] prepared by ionic liquid type saponification for Y(III) was indicated to be ion association. The mechanism contributes to avoiding the numerous saponification procedures and resulting saponification wastewater in the REE separation industry. Load capacity and stripping properties of [P6,6,6,14][SOPAA] reveal advantages over its precursory sec octylphenoxy acetic acid (HSOPAA) Extractability and selectivity of [P6,6,6,14][SOPAA] for Y(III) are pronouncedly better than those of HSOPAA. Multistage extraction using functional ionic liquid as extractant for different REE separations is developed. After five stages of extraction sections and four stages of scrubbing sections, Lu(III) was successfully separated from Y(III)
Comprehensive appraisal and application of novel extraction system for heavy rare earth separation on the basis of coordination equilibrium effect

Several novel extraction systems were reported since 2 ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono (2 ethylhexyl) ester (P507) had been confronted with low selectivity and incomplete stripping for heavy rare earths (HREs) This paper makes a comprehensive appraisal of P507, bis (2,4,4 trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex272) mixture of P507 and Cyanex272, P507 adding isooctanol and bifunctional ionic liquid extractant (Bif ILE) [trialkylmethyl ammonium][di (2 ethylhexyl)orthophosphinate] [A336][P507] Thermodynamics study, apparent kinetics study and theoretical calculation for the cascade extraction are all included. We put forward coordination equilibrium effect for the first time to illustrate the inner and outer environment during the coordination. It could be useful to explain the extraction ability and selectivity of different extractants. All these would provide separation of HREs with more feasible and informative understanding and guidance.
Crystal structure, Raman spectroscopy and crystal chemistry of K7Ca9[Si2O7]4F, a new potassium calcium silicate fluoride

In the course of a series of KF flux synthesis experiments aiming at the preparation of new compounds in the ternary system K 2 O CaO SiO 2 of interest to e.g the glass and fertiliser industries and to recycling of ashes of biomass combustion, a novel potassium calcium silicate fluoride was obtained whose composition was determined as K 7 Ca 9 [Si 2 O 7 4 F using electron microprobe analysis. Polycrystalline material of the same compound could be also prepared by solid state reactions. Applying direct methods it was possible to solve the crystal structure of this compound from single crystal diffraction data. Structure solution was complicated due to complex pseudo merohedral twinning. K 7 Ca 9 [Si 2 O 7 4 F crystallises in the monoclinic space group P 2 1 m with a 5.6122(2) A, b 13.8143(5) A, c 9.8016(4) A, b 90.255(4)deg, V 759.90(5) A 3 Z 1. Additional characterisation has been performed by Raman spectroscopy. The compound belongs to the group of sorosilicates and is built up from Si 2 O 7 groups. Potassium and calcium cations are distributed among five crystallographically independent cation positions, which are coordinated in form of distorted octahedra, trigonal prisms or more irregular polyhedra. By sharing common faces, octahedra and trigonal prisms form infinite columns running parallel to [010] These columns are connected to the Si 2 O 7 groups through common corners. Additional fluorine positions are located in voids between the Si 2 O 7 groups and the columns. A detailed comparison with structurally related compounds is given, including a group theoretical discussion of the symmetry relationships.
Validity and Reliability of a Systematic Database Search Strategy to Identify Publications Resulting From Pharmacy Residency Research Projects
Venue: Journal of pharmacy practice

This study aims to develop a systematic search strategy and test its validity and reliability in terms of identifying projects published in peer reviewed journals as reported by residency graduates through an online survey.  This study was a prospective blind comparison to a reference standard. Pharmacy residency projects conducted at the study institution between 2001 and 2012 were included. A step wise, systematic procedure containing up to 8 search strategies in PubMed and EMBASE for each project was created using the names of authors and abstract keywords. In order to further maximize sensitivity, complex phrases with multiple variations were truncated to the root word. Validity was assessed by obtaining information on publications from an online survey deployed to residency graduates.  The search strategy identified 13 publications (93% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 99% accuracy) Both methods identified a similar proportion achieving publication (19.7% search strategy vs 21.2% survey, P 1.00) Reliability of the search strategy was affirmed by the perfect agreement between 2 investigators (k 1.00)  This systematic search strategy demonstrated a high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for identifying publications resulting from pharmacy residency projects using information available in residency conference abstracts.
Conscious Leadership.
Venue: AORN journal

Health care leaders need to use leadership methodologies that support safe patient care, satisfy employees, and improve the bottom line. Conscious leaders help create desirable personal and professional life experiences for themselves using specific tools that include mindfulness, context, and the observer self, and they strive to help their employees learn to use these tools as well. In perioperative nursing, conscious leaders create an environment in which nurses are supported in their aim to provide the highest level of patient care and in which transformations are encouraged to take place; this environment ultimately promotes safety, contributes to fulfilling and meaningful work, and enhances a facility's financial viability. This article discusses some of the key concepts behind conscious leadership, how perioperative leaders can reach and maintain expanded consciousness, and how they can best assist their staff members in their own evolution to a more mindful state.
WordSift: A free web based vocabulary tool designed to help science teachers in integrating interactive literacy activities

The Next Generation Science Standards and the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in Science have ignited interest in developing novel ways to support students' literacy development in science classes. To contribute to these efforts, we developed WordSift, a free web based vocabulary development tool, that has a series of interactive displays, including a list of the 50 most frequent words in a particular text, Google image results for any combination of those words, definitions and synonyms for particular words from the text, and a context in which particular words appeared in the text. Working collaboratively with middle school science teachers from a large urban district, we tailored this tool to fit the needs of science teachers as well as the ones of teachers of other content areas. Here, we provide the rationale and theoretical framework for developing this tool and use examples to explain how science teachers can use WordSift to create interactive and engaging science and literacy lessons.

The study implements multi level of optimization in the encoding process using H.265 where JPEG2000 standards play a crucial role. The study also applies a novel concept of orthogonal projection that manages pixels metadata required in every frame transition followed by motion compensation. By using multiple file formats of 30 video datasets, the outcome of the study is found to be accomplishing approximately 49% of enhancement in data quality and around 59% of improvement in video compression in comparison to the existing techniques of HEVC based video compression.
Extending social security to the informal economy Evidence from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Moldova

Every member of society has the right to social security. "Ensuring adequate social security for all" is one of the key goals of the ILO's Decent Work agenda. Most European countries have already established comprehensive social security systems. The existing systems typically operate in the forms of contributory social insurance systems and non contributory, tax financed social assistance systems, both of which constitute the main pillars of the European social model. Although the existing social security systems in European countries have achieved reasonably high population coverage, gaps still exist, notably among workers in the informal economy, migrant workers and farmers in rural areas. The purpose of this report is to analyse the effects of the informal economy on social security, and to discuss possible policy measures to extend the social security coverage for workers in the informal economy. This report is organized as follows: Section 1 reviews the scope and definition of the informal economy and undeclared work, and analyses the effects of informality on the right to and financing of social security. Sections 2 and 3 present the case studies of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Moldova, based on the findings of the ILO missions in 2014 and the ILO survey of Moldovan farmers in 2015. Section 4 summarizes the key observations from the two case studies, and discusses the effective policies for extending social security coverage to workers in the informal economy in the context of Central and Eastern Europe.
Signature Based Vulnerability Detection Over Wireless Sensor Network for Reliable Data Transmission
Venue: Wirel. Pers. Commun.

Due to the significant improvement in wireless communication technology, the need of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have a vital role in the areas such as military applications, environmental monitoring, health care, home or industrial automation etc. However such type of network always been vulnerable to security threats, because the WSN has the resource constraints such as low battery life, low processing power, small memory, deployment in hostile environment and the radio links for communication are insecure. Thus, it is necessary to use effective detection mechanism to prevent WSN from routing attacks for reliable data transmission. In this paper, a signature based detection approach is proposed for detecting the routing attacks. For every known attack it has certain signature, based on this the rules are designed with the rule base which are applied for detecting various routing attacks such as wormhole, black hole and sybil attack. The simulated results show that the proposed signature based approach improves the reliability of data by measuring the parameters such as throughput and packet delivery ratio while detecting the routing attacks.
Quantitative Analysis of Mold Growth Differences on Surfaces in Damp Soil Ruins Affected by Ventilation and Lighting Modes: Soil Ruin Exhibition Halls in High humidity Regions

It is a challenge for the conservation of soil ruin sites that molds grow on the surface of damp soil ruins in soil ruin exhibition halls in high humidity regions. The ventilation and lighting modes of soil ruin exhibition halls directly affect mold reproduction, but studies on the quantitative relationship between environmental factors and mold propagation on surfaces in damp soil ruins are insufficient. The Wenzhou Qiaolou soil ruin was selected as an example in this study, and rammed earth from this ruin was used as the experiment sample. For the ventilation and lighting modes as experimental variables, four ventilation and lighting environmental conditions were simulated for 56 days in a laboratory to compare differences in mold growth on samples of damp rammed earth surfaces. In this study, the difference of mold growth in different ventilation and lighting conditions were discussed, and some suggestions for the environmental management of soil ruin exhibition halls in high humidity regions were given.
Hash Chain Based Authentication for IoT Devices and REST Web Services
Venue: ISAmI

The number of everyday interconnected devices continues to increase and constitute the Internet of Things (IoT) Things are small computers equipped with sensors and wireless communications capabilities that are driven by energy constraints, since they use batteries and may be required to operate over long periods of time. The majority of these devices perform data collection. The collected data is stored on line using web services that, sometimes, operate without any special considerations regarding security and privacy. The current work proposes a modified hash chain authentication mechanism that, with the help of a smart phone, can authenticate each interaction of the devices with a REST web service using One Time Passwords (OTP) Moreover, the proposed authentication mechanism adheres to the stateless, HTTP like behavior expected of REST web services, even allowing the caching of server authentication replies within a predefined time window. No other known web service authentication mechanism operates in such manner.
Rapid synthesis, characterization, and studies of hydroxyapatitenanoparticles.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a calcium phosphate that is similar to the human rigid tissues and is a form of calcium apatite. It constitutes, the main component of bone and enamel and can be synthesized artificially via various methods and the method proposed in this paper is based on wet chemical precipitation. An attempt has been made to synthesize nano structured hydroxyapatite using improved surface morphology when compared to other methods. Porosity is another very important property that can be enhanced using various materials. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) and ortho phosphoric acid (H?PO? were used in the present study. Experiments were conducted under controlled environment maintaining required pH, concentration of solutions and temperature as well. The variation in any of these parameters gives a change in the resultant obtained. The present report emphases on the synthesis and characterizing the nano structured Hap powder. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) X ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the surface, size and dimensions analysis of the Hap were carried out. From the work carried out it was found that the HAp was in the range of 35 nm to 90 nm and is a desirable output.
Matching children and substitute homes: some theoretical and empirical notions

Matching describes the process of selecting the substitute home for a child who needs to be placed away from the care of his/her birth parents. However, very little theorizing is done about matching and there is also a lack of systematic investigation into models of practice currently in use. Most importantly, very little is known about frontline matching practices in different socio historical child welfare contexts. This paper aims to explore the concept of matching by addressing it theoretically and empirically as a decision making practice in social work. Based on the analysis of phone interviews (49) and focus group interviews (five groups with 18 child welfare practitioners) in Finland, we claim that matching includes a high degree of navigation: decision making balances between professional discretion, legal norms and principles, subjective views of the children and their parents as well as the economic and bureaucratic conditions of the service provision administration in the municipality. Navigation is shadowed by uncertainty and compromises. The analysis suggests that the notion of matching needs further analysis as it plays an important role in child welfare decision making. The interplay between frontline practice and the socio historical context needs to be further addressed.
Negotiating a liberative pedagogy in sport development and peace: understanding consciousness raising through the Go Sisters programme in Zambia

Labelled as an alternative and more representative engine for development [Levermore, R. (2008)  A new engine of development? Progress in Development Studies, 8(2) 183 190. doi: 10.1177/146499340700800204] the international sport development and peace (SDP) movement is under pressure to enhance its credibility and authenticity. The claims made are of SDP's capacity to deliver development to a world that feels let down by traditional development approaches, especially at the end of the Millennium Development Goals. However, for SDP to assume its true position of an authentic alternative, it needs to be wrestled from its neo colonialism and undemocratic tendencies that have privileged the Global Northern ways of being and knowing, invalidating and marginalising alternative ways of social betterment. In particular, the use of SDP to facilitate learning of social, health and economic skills has become popular [Spaaij, R. Jeanes, R.(2013) Education for social change? A Freirean critique of sport for development and peace.  yet, the dominant pedagogic approaches resemble what Paulo Freire has called 'banking education' This concept refers to 'depositing' information that learners passively receive, memorise and repeat, and is one such crucial segment that needs close examination in SDP. This article draws on Paulo Freire's critical consciousness as a theoretical framework to support analysis of empirical data that examines the negotiation of a liberative pedagogy within the Go Sisters programme. Using in depth semi structured interviews the retrospective views of six former Go Sisters programme participants were examined. Three broad themes, in line with a liberative pedagogy, emerged from the data: (i) critical dialogue (ii) family support and (iii) Ubuntu Sisterhood. The findings highlight how Go Sisters participants negotiated the development of critical consciousness to counter the dominant banking education paradigm in SDP. Over many years the Go Sisters developed capacity to embed collective critical dialogue in programme activities that were informed by both the EduSport Foundation's organisational philosophy of Ubuntu and Global Northern neo liberal education focused on life skills.
Pseudo Nearest Centroid Neighbor Classification

In this paper, we propose a new reliable classification approach, called the pseudo nearest centroid neighbor rule, which is based on the pseudo nearest neighbor rule (PNN) and nearest centroid neighborhood (NCN) In the proposed PNCN, the nearest centroid neighbors rather than nearest neighbors per class are first searched by means of NCN. Then, we calculate k categorical local mean vectors corresponding to k nearest centroid neighbors, and assign the weight to each local mean vector. Using the weighted k local mean vectors for each class, PNCN designs the corresponding pseudo nearest centroid neighbor and decides the class label of the query pattern according to the closest pseudo nearest centroid neighbor among all classes. The classification performance of the proposed PNCN is evaluated on real data sets in terms of the classification accuracy. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of PNCN over the competing methods in many practical classification problems.
Multiscale CNNs for Brain Tumor Segmentation and Diagnosis
Venue: Comput. Math. Methods Medicine

Early brain tumor detection and diagnosis are critical to clinics. Thus segmentation of focused tumor area needs to be accurate, efficient, and robust. In this paper, we propose an automatic brain tumor segmentation method based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) Traditional CNNs focus only on local features and ignore global region features, which are both important for pixel classification and recognition. Besides, brain tumor can appear in any place of the brain and be any size and shape in patients. We design a three stream framework named as multiscale CNNs which could automatically detect the optimum top three scales of the image sizes and combine information from different scales of the regions around that pixel. Datasets provided by Multimodal Brain Tumor Image Segmentation Benchmark (BRATS) organized by MICCAI 2013 are utilized for both training and testing. The designed multiscale CNNs framework also combines multimodal features from T1, T1 enhanced, T2, and FLAIR MRI images. By comparison with traditional CNNs and the best two methods in  our framework shows advances in brain tumor segmentation accuracy and robustness.
