Searching for elusive journalism values in the era of fake news by Stanley Tsarwe

“…Like the media elsewhere in the world, Zimbabwean media have been influenced by the phenomenon of “post-truth”, a term relating to the rise of an era in which emotions rather than facts seem to sway public opinion, and where populism overshadows basic principles of reason and veracity. Qualitative interviews with members of this Association sought to understand the value of membership of this group in reducing the circulation of disinformation and misleading content. …”

Dynamic additional loads influencing the fatigue life of gears in an electric vehicle transmission by G.Belingardi, V. Cuffaro, F. Curà

“…The speed of the electric motors is much higher than the combustion engine ones, bringing transmission gears to be subjected to high dynamic loads. For this reason the dynamic effects on fatigue life of these components have be taken into account in a more careful way respect to what is done with the usual gears. …”

A Critical Review on the Book A Secular Age by Mahdi Abootalebi Yazdi, Ali Moradkhani, Meysam Sefid Khosh

“…In this process, for the religious, "God" and for the non-religious, "reason" describes perfection. This article, with a brief look at Taylor's work, examines the movement of the West (Western Europe and North America) from religious societies to secular societies, and after analyzing Taylor's theory of secularism, critiques and summarizes his ideas.…”

Improvement of Analytical Methods for the Determination of Polyphenolic Bioactive Compounds in Berry Fruits by Marisa Carmela Caruso, Fernanda Galgano, Maria Pecora, Roberta Tolve, Maria Verrastro, Fabio Favati

“…The difference may be due to specific climatic conditions, the type of soil in which the plants grow, and the stresses to which the plants were subjected because these phytochemicals are produced as a defense mechanism through a secondary metabolic process. For this reason, it is important to establish simple and reliable procedure to determine polyphenolic compounds in berry fruits considering the increasing attention on these compounds for different potential uses. …”

The Application of REV-LBM Double Mesh Local Refinement Algorithm in Porous Media Flow Simulation by Zhongkun Niu, Zhengming Yang, Yutian Luo, Yapu Zhang, Debin Xia, Taiyi Zheng, Xinli Zhao

“…However, shown by numerical results, when simulated fluid flows in tight porous media with discrete microfractures or dispersed dissolution pore, the nonphysical oscillation phenomenon will occur in the region of relatively greater velocity gradient, due to the insufficient computational node caused by computational capability constraints. And for that reason, the increase in simulation scale under certain computational capability will be restricted. …”

Effect of MnOx/α-Fe2O3 Prepared from Goethite on Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH3 by Huimin Zhou, Lili Qian, Ting Cheng, Bo Du, Fengjie Xia, Chengzhu Zhu

“…Characterization by XRD, BET, H2-TPR, and NH3-TPD revealed that the main reason for the high catalytic activity of MnOx(0.1)/α-Fe2O3(400) was that the addition of Mn changed phase types of catalyst and valence composition of Fe, resulting in a larger specific surface area, more acidic sites, and higher redox performance.…”

On Eavesdropping Attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks with Directional Antennas by Hong-Ning Dai, Qiu Wang, Dong Li, Raymond Chi-Wing Wong

“…We have found that using directional antennas in either single-hop WSNs or multihop WSNs can significantly reduce the eavesdropping probability. The reason of the improved security of WSNs with directional antennas lies in (i) the smaller exposure region of a directional antenna and (ii) the fewer hops to route a packet due to the longer transmission range of a directional antenna. …”
