Mains Electricity Base Rate Minimization Under Specified Conditions of Power Consumption with the use of Capacitors by Alexander S. Demidov, Alexander S. Kochurov

“…Thus, the question arises as to whether the consumer’s payment can indeed be minimized at a specific mode of product consumption if there is a system of its accumulation, that is, capacitor or storage, which replenishes or consumes its reserves at times of low and high tariff prices. …”

A Case Study on Annoyance Noise Caused by Metro Railway at a TOD Developed Depot by Qiang Liu, Zhongxu Kang, Hougui Zhang, Ruixiang Song, Ge Li

“…Based on the recommendation awakening threshold value of 42 dB (A) summarized from the Night Noise Guidelines for Europe (WHO, 2009), the measurement results confirmed that the neighbourhood residents were indeed suffering from the instantaneous railway noise, and the sleep disturbance correlated indicator LAmax was more than 56 dB (A) at outside of buildings. …”

Buffalo Immune Competence Under Infectious and Non-Infectious Stressors by Maria Giovanna Ciliberti, Antonella Santillo, Mariangela Caroprese, Marzia Albenzio

“…In this condition, modulators of inflammatory responses are produced, including small proteins called cytokines, which exert a pro- or anti-inflammatory action in a context-dependent manner. Indeed, the cytokine profile could be considered a useful biomarker to determine the pathophysiology of certain diseases, such as mastitis, endometritis, change-induced heat stress, and zoonoses. …”

Excerpt from Moore’s Mugabe’s Legacy: Coups, Conspiracies, and the Conceits of Power in Zimbabwe by David B. Moore

“…My end-that-is-a-new-beginning entailed the somewhat magical way I discovered that Robert Mugabe had indeed reached the final point of his mortal coil, and my recounting of Stephen Groote’s hastily rallied Zimbabwean éminence activistes grises’ epitaphs on SAFM’s Sunrise. …”

Advances in T Helper 17 Cell Biology: Pathogenic Role and Potential Therapy in Multiple Sclerosis by Elisabetta Volpe, Luca Battistini, Giovanna Borsellino

“…The discovery of the T helper (Th) 17 lineage, involved in the protection against fungal and extracellular bacterial infections, has profoundly revolutionized our current understanding of T cell-mediated responses in autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). Indeed, recent data demonstrate the pathogenic role of Th17 cells in autoimmune disorders. …”

Beauty and the Tweet: How traditional media seduce in the digital age by Florent MONCOMBLE

“…Yet, as the age of the printing press fades away in favour of digital platforms, so does the way traditional news media reach out to their readership evolve into new territories.Although originally motivated by the space constraints of the printed page, the non-standard syntactic features of headlinese have remarkably survived the shift to the web, where such constraints do not exist. Indeed, its fundamentally aoristic morphosyntax is instrumental in optimizing the relevance of headlines, thereby luring the reader into accessing content and generating revenue.However, the shift to the digital age has introduced a number of radical changes. …”

Design and evaluation of two proposed hybrid FCC-BCC lattice structures for enhanced mechanical performance by Shayan Rahimi, Mohsen Asghari

“…In this study, two polymeric hybrid lattice structures—''FRB'' (a heterogenous structure which is indeed a BCC structure reinforced by FCC unit cells dispersed in a way to form a chessboard pattern in each layer) and the ''Multifunctional'' (a homogenous structure whose unit cells are a combination of FCC and BCC unit cells where their central nodes are connected)—are proposed, fabricated via liquid crystal display 3D printing technique, and their mechanical characteristics are evaluated under quasi-static loading, experimentally and numerically. …”

For Engineering to Champion Future Industrial Revolutions, It Must Look to the Past by Edward Chikuni

“…By tracing the definition term “Engineer” to ancient Greek which translates to genius, it is hoped that those of us who are engineers or those that intend to become engineers will be made aware of the respect and reverence which National Leaders have had bestowed upon them, through all industrial resolutions. Indeed, Some National Leaders have been Engineers and Scientists themselves. …”

Overview of Cell Death Mechanisms Induced by Rose Bengal Acetate-Photodynamic Therapy by Elisa Panzarini, Valentina Inguscio, Luciana Dini

“…After its perinuclear intracellular localization, RBAc causes multiple subcellular organelles damage, that is, mitochondria, Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), lysosomes, and Golgi complex. Indeed, RBAc exerts long-term phototoxicity through activation of both caspase-independent and- dependent apoptotic pathways and autophagic cell death. …”

Flexibilité alimentaire de bonobos en parc zoologique : consommation opportuniste d’espèces végétales autochtones et complément nutritionnel by Caroline Gérard, Flora Pennec, Jean-Pascal Guéry, Sarah Depauw, Geert Janssens, Mélissa Anne, Victor Narat, Bruno Simmen

“…In bonobos (Pan paniscus), a species endemic to the Democratic Republic of Congo and classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), little is known about these selection factors. Indeed, study sites in the wild are few and difficult to access and studies on these issues in captivity are rare. …”

Diversity and Antimicrobial Activities of Actinobacteria Isolated from Mining Soils in Midelt Region, Morocco by Soumia Ait Assou, Jaouad Anissi, Khalid Sendide, Mohammed El Hassouni

“…In this regard, the present study sheds light on the diversity and antimicrobial potential of Actinobacteria isolates in mining ecosystems. We have indeed investigated the production of bioactive molecules by the Actinobacteria isolated from abandoned mining areas in Midelt, Morocco, where average contents of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are higher than normal world levels. …”

“Radical”: Marianne Moore and the Revision of Modernism by Aurore Clavier

“…Leading us from the working manuscript to the little magazine, from the individual collection to the endlessly emended magnum opus, from the anthology to the text-book, the practice of revision, then, retraces the historical construction of literary revolution(s), highlighting lines of rupture and continuity as certain names are marginalized or simply deleted.Because, among them, Marianne Moore was herself a relentless editor of her own or others’ words, yet has remained a shifting figure in the “great narrative” of Modernism, her work allows us to re-examine the claims of artistic radicalism, in the light of more complex modes of revision. Although she may indeed have styled herself as a “radical” (as the title of an early hidden-portrait in verse suggests), and was rapidly hailed as such by her peers, her revising practice opens up the spectrum of transformations to more ambiguous models. …”

WİLLİAM MONTGOMERY WATT VE İLK DEVİR İSLAM TARİHİNE TARİHSELCİ BAKIŞ by Hasan Hüseyin Adalıoğlu

“…The major characteristic of the theory developed by William Montgomery Watt is that he maintained his belief in Christianity and adopted a historicist approach to Islamic history while he at the same time accepted the religious identity of the prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon Him) and declared that he had seen the message of the prophet as a mere revelation from God. Indeed he has not considered the prophet only as a figure reacting under the influence of religious and external cultural factors, just to the contrary, he saw Him as a person reacting against social environment. …”

Supervised machine learning reveals introgressed loci in the genomes of Drosophila simulans and D. sechellia. by Daniel R Schrider, Julien Ayroles, Daniel R Matute, Andrew D Kern

“…Although we find that these populations may have split more recently than previously appreciated, FILET confirms that there has indeed been appreciable recent introgression (some of which might have been adaptive) between these species, and reveals that this gene flow is primarily in the direction of D. simulans to D. sechellia.…”

Reversible Electrochemical Insertion of Lithium in Fine Grained Polycrystalline Powders of SnO2 by S. D. Han, S. Y. Huang, G. Campet, S. H. Pulcinnelli, C. V. Santilli

“…Consequently, these powders show good ability to insert reversibly lithium ions in the Li/Li+/LixSnO2 cell. Indeed, by minimizing the size of the crystallites, the formation of defect-bonds is favored, particularly at the crystallite surface, acting as reversible (de)grafting sites of Li+. …”
