Estimation of Dry Season Irrigation Water Abstraction in Lunsemfwa, Mulungushi, Mwomboshi, and Mkushi Subbasins from 2013 to 2017 in Zambia by Lamong Duke Tshenyego, Kamuti Mulonda, Isaac Nyambe Simate

“…The results estimate that a total maximum abstraction of 119,680,200 m3 was in 2013, and a minimum estimate of 74,951,400 m3 was in 2014. Wheat abstraction volumes (which were used to represent crops with higher water demand) were compared between catchments and significant differences exist when comparing Lunsemfwa catchment to Mkushi, Mulungushi, and Mwomboshi; thus there were no chances of similarity at an alpha level of 0.05. …”

Evidence of Tectonic Control on the Geochemical Features of the Volatiles Vented along the Nebrodi-Peloritani Mts (Southern Apennine Chain, Italy) by Francesco Italiano, Pietro Bonfanti, Salvatore Roberto Maugeri

“…We propose that the degassing regime as well as the geochemical features of both the dissolved and bubbling gases is closely connected to the strain accumulation rate, inducing almost no temporal changes and insignificant deep-originated fluid contributions to the locked fault volumes. Investigations including discrete and continuous monitoring and degassing-rate estimations are useful tools to gain a better insight into the evolution of seismogenesis, considering the fault rupture as the final stage of a seismic cycle.…”

Research on the transverse collaborative working performance of hollow slab bridges enhanced by channel steel and prestressed CFRP tendons by Haozhe Jiang, Yongcheng Wang, Qinrui Liu, Ping Zhuge, Zhiyu Jie

“…The hinge joint is critical for the transverse connection of hollow slab bridges and is highly susceptible to damage due to increasing traffic volumes and vehicle loads. To enhance the transverse collaborative working performance (TCWP) of hollow slab bridges, a hinge joint reinforcement technique by installing transverse channels at the bottom of the hollow slab and vertical prestressed CFRP tendons in the hinge joints is proposed in this study. …”

Evolution of the oxidation of V zigzag nanostructures on Si: Prime conditions to reach uniform thermochromic VO2(M) thin films by F.M. Morales, J.J. Jiménez, N. Martin, R. Alcántara, J. Navas, R. García, A.J. Santos

“…In addition, the study focuses on the stepwise investigation of the nanostructure and the oxidation progress of the layer by electron microscopy, verifying a monotonic incorporation of oxygen with time, which results in a linear rise of the VOx overlayer volumes. This characterization is correlated with Raman spectra quickly collected in a wide wavenumber range. …”

Experimental Study of Irinotecan Induced Side Effects on Digestive and Immune System of Mice by Liya LIU, Thomas Joseph SFERRA, Senthilkumar SANKARARAMAN, Youqin CHEN

“…The mice in the model group were given CPT-11 by intraperitoneal injection, the control group were given same volumes PBS by intraperitoneal injection. Body weight, diarrhea index, spleen index, thymus index, complete blood count and pathological changes of the jejunum, ileum and colon were measured on the second day and the fourth day after CPT-11 intervention.Results:Compared with the control group, mice body weight was decreased significantly on the second day and the fourth day upon CPT-11 intervention while diarrhea index was increased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); CPT-11 intervention also decreased spleen index, thymus index (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), white blood cell count and neutrophil count profoundly along with significant jejunum, ileum and colon injury of the mice.Conclusion:CPT-11 can induce side effects about the digestive and immune system, which consistents with the clinical side effects of CPT-11, and this will be helpful for the further development of novel supplementary therapies for CPT-11 induced toxicity.…”

Evolução das relações entre cidades e portos: entre lógicas homogeneizantes e dinâmicas de diferenciação by Frédéric Monié, Flavia Nico Vasconcelos

“…Based on the definition of commercial ports as territories situated in manoeuvre spaces of a global and regional “game board”, there are possibilities of articulations differentiated among the capabilities located in the commercial port, in the productive system and in the resources of the urban territory and of an analysis with trajectory in three scales: in the global level, through globalisation, in the middle-economic level, in the regional systems that capture the rising volumes of flows and transformation activities; and in the local level, on the territory of the city-port. …”

Unstructured Grids and the Multigroup Neutron Diffusion Equation by German Theler

“…A simple two-dimensional homogeneous circular reactor is solved using a coarse unstructured grid in order to illustrate some basic differences between the finite volumes and the finite elements method. Also, the classic 2D IAEA PWR benchmark problem is solved for eighty combinations of symmetries, meshing algorithms, basic geometric entities, discretization schemes, and characteristic grid lengths, giving even more insight into the peculiarities that arise when solving the neutron diffusion equation using unstructured grids.…”
