Abstract:
ResumoOs trabalhos para desvendar a estrutura da matéria no começo do século passado fizeram com que vários cientistas elaborassem diferentes experimentos de modo a permitir o entendimento e o arranjo atômico em diferentes metais. Um dos físicos que merece destaque foi Johannes Wilhelm Geiger (18821945), também conhecido como Hans Geiger, que desenvolveu uma maneira de estudar a estrutura dos metais utilizando partículas alfa provenientes de compostos de rádio. A técnica consistia em bombardear finas folhas de diferentes metais com partículas alfa e analisar seus desvios. Essa técnica possibilitou que, futuramente, fosse possível a elaboração de outro experimento que constatou, entre outros aspectos, o núcleo atômico. Será́ apresentado, portanto, neste artigo a tradução comentada do artigo On the Scattering of the α–Particles by Matter.Palavras-chave: Partícula alfa; espalhamento de partículas; Hans GeigerAbstractThe work to unravel the structure of matter at the beginning of the last century led several scientists to design different experiments to allow understanding and arrangement atomic metals. One of the prominent physicists was Johannes Wilhelm Geiger (18821945), also known as Hans Geiger, who developed a way to study the structure of metals using alpha particles from radio compounds. The technique consisted of bombarding thin sheets of different metals with alpha particles and analyzing their deviations. This technique made it possible, in the future, to develop another experiment that found, among other aspects, the atomic nucleus. Therefore, it will be presented in this paper how Hans Geiger elaborated his experiments, highlighting their results and difficulties. In addition, the importance of this historical episode in Basic Education will be discussed.Keywords: Alpha particles; scattering particle; Hans Geiger

Geiger, Tim. "Landshut in Mogadischu. Das außenpolitische Krisenmanagement der Bundesregierung angesichts der terroristischen Herausforderung 1977." Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte 57, no. 3 (July 15, 2009): 413–56. http://dx.doi.org/10.1524/vfzg.2009.0049.
Abstract:
Vorspann Somalia und Mogadischu waren nicht erste Wahl. Andreas Baader, der Chef der Roten Armee Fraktion, und seine Mitgefangenen wollten im Falle einer Freipressung in andere Länder ausreisen. Die Bundesregierung vereitelte diese Pläne und legte sich dann auch auf eine Politik der Unnachgiebigkeit fest, als ein palästinensisches Kommando die Lufthansa-Maschine „Landshut“ entführte und die Freilassung der Häftlinge in Stammheim verlangte. Der Historiker Tim Geiger vom Institut für Zeitgeschichte schildert diese Ereignisse und die geschickte Verhandlungstaktik von Hans-Jürgen Wischnewski in Somalia. Er zeigt aber auch, mit welchen Mitteln Bundeskanzler Helmut Schmidt und sein Mann vor Ort operierten, als sie die Regierung von Siad Barre zur Mithilfe veranlassten. Vor allem mit Blick auf die selbstauferlegte Verpflichtung, keine Waffen in Krisenregionen zu liefern, gingen sie bis hart an die Grenze des Erlaubten.

Abstract:
In the recent past the work on large-scale linguistic distributions across the globe has intensified considerably. Work on macro-areal relationships in Africa (Güldemann, 2010) suggests that the shape of convergence areas may be determined by climatic factors and geophysical features such as mountains, water bodies, coastlines, etc. Worldwide data is now available for geophysical features as well as linguistic features, including numeral systems and basic constituent order. We explore the possibility that the shape of areal aggregations of individual features in these two linguistic domains correlates with Köppen-Geiger climate zones. Furthermore, we test the hypothesis that the shape of such areal feature aggregations is determined by the contour of adjacent geophysical features like mountain ranges or coastlines. In these first basic tests, we do not find clear evidence that either Köppen-Geiger climate zones or the contours of geophysical features are major predictors for the linguistic data at hand.

Abstract:
Abstract. Julius Elster and Hans Geitel contributed to the physics at the turn of the 19–20th century in many ways. We first summarize the life of these exceptional scientists. Then – owing to the topic of this journal – we focus on their atmospheric electricity research. With their experiments, careful evaluations and ingenious interpretation, Elster and Geitel made important contributions to precipitation electricity, the influence of solar radiation on the electric state of the atmosphere, the nature of charge carriers and the ionization of air by radioactivity. They proved their experimental skills by inventing new instruments with unprecedented accuracy and reliability. A very modern concept was their attitude to undertake long-term measurements at various locations. A section on their recognition in the physics community and their scientific distinctions concludes the paper.

Abstract:
As reviewed in this column on previous occasions, the atomic force microscope (AFM) is steadily making headway as an instrument that can make important contributions to biologic observations. Although the AFM is capable of operating in an aqueous environment, relatively little use has been made of this property to examine cellular structures under conditions that resemble those in vivo. A breakthrough in this regard was recently made by Stefan Schneider, Kumudesh Sritharan, John Geibel, Hans Oberleithner, and Bhanu Jena. of Yale University and the University of Würzburg.

Abstract:
TORPOR and reproduction in mammals are widely viewed as mutually exclusive processes. For most mammals, different energetic and hormonal demands appear to require a temporal sequence of torpor and reproduction within the yearly schedule. Torpor is characterised by a pronounced fall in body temperature and metabolic rate, which results in an overall reduction of energy expenditure (Geiser and Ruf 1995) and in most mammals occurs during the non-reproductive season (Goldman et al. 1986; Barnes 1996). Reproduction, on the other hand, requires an increase of energy expenditure for acquiring, processing and transfer of nutrients to the growing offspring (Hoffman 1964; Goldman et al. 1986; Thompson and Nicoll 1986; Kenagy et al. 1989; Barnes 1996).

"Giant Enhancement of THz Wave Emission under Double-Pulse Excitation of Thin Water Flow." Applied Sciences 10, no. 6 (March 17, 2020): 2031. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/app10062031.
Abstract:
Simultaneous measurements of THz wave and hard X-ray emission from thin and flat water flow when irradiated by double femtosecond laser pulses (800 nm, 35 fs/transform-limited, 0.5 kHz, delay times up to 15 ns) were carried out. THz wave measurements by time-domain spectroscopy and X-ray detection by Geiger counters were performed at the transmission and the reflection sides of the flow. THz wave emission spectra show their dynamic peak shifts toward the low frequency with the highest intensity enhancements more than 1.5 × 10 3 times in |E| 2 accumulated over the whole spectrum range of 0–3 THz at the delay time of 4.7 ns between the two pulses. On the other hand, X-ray intensity enhancements are limited to about 20 times at 0 ns under the same experimental conditions. The mechanisms for the spectral changes and the intensity enhancements in THz wave emission are discussed from the viewpoint of laser ablation on the water flow induced by the pre-pulse irradiation.

"Smartphone and Tablet-Based Sensing of Environmental Radioactivity: Mobile Low-Cost Measurements for Monitoring, Citizen Science, and Educational Purposes." Sensors 19, no. 19 (October 1, 2019): 4264. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/s19194264.
Abstract:
Sensors for environmental radioactivity based on two novel setups using photodiodes, on the one hand, and an advanced tablet-based hybrid pixel detector, on the other hand, are presented. Measurements of four kinds of terrestrial and every-day radiation sources are carried out: Airborne radon, a mineral containing traces of uranium, edible potassium salt, and an old radium watch. These measurements permit comparisons between different types of ambient radioactive sources and enable environmental monitoring. Available data comprise discrimination between α - and β − -particles in an energy range of 33 keV to 8 MeV and under ambient air conditions. The diode-based sensor is particularly useful in portable applications since it is small and sturdy with little power consumption. It can be directly connected to a smartphone via the headset socket. For its development, the low-cost silicon positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diodes BPX61 and BPW34 have been characterised with capacitance versus voltage (C-V) curves. Physical detection limits for ionising radiation are discussed based on obtained depletion layer width: ( 50 ± 8 ) μ m at 8 V. The mobile and low-cost character of these sensors, as alternatives to Geiger counters or other advanced equipment, allows for a widespread use by individuals and citizen science groups for environmental and health protection purposes, or in educational settings. Source code and hardware design files are released under open source licenses with this publication.

Abstract:
The purpose of the investigation was to use hand-held dynamometry to compare a single trial versus maximal or mean values of muscular strength in individuals with mental retardation. Twenty-three subjects classified as moderately mentally retarded (12 male, 11 female) performed three trials on six muscle groups. The magnitudes of the first, maximal, and mean isometric force across muscle groups were compared using a repeated measures analysis of variance and the Greenhouse-Geiser adjustment for the critical level of significance. Data analysis revealed a significant main muscle group effect and measurement score effect, but no significant differences between a single trial and mean of three trials. However, there was a significant difference between the first or mean scores and maximal scores. Intraclass correlation coefficients demonstrated consistency across muscle groups. Findings support the use of a single trial or mean of three trials to document muscular strength in individuals with mental retardation.

Abstract:
We describe here the subcellular distributions of three junctional proteins in different adherens-type contacts. The proteins examined include vinculin, talin, and a recently described 135-kD protein (Volk, T., and B. Geiger, 1984, EMBO (Eur. Mol. Biol. Organ.) J., 10:2249-2260). Immunofluorescent localization of the three proteins indicated that while vinculin was ubiquitously present in all adherens junctions, the other two showed selective and mutually exclusive association with either cell-substrate or cell-cell adhesions. Talin was abundant in focal contacts and in dense plaques of smooth muscle, but was essentially absent from intercellular junctions such as intercalated disks or adherens junctions of lens fibers. The 135-kD protein, on the other hand, was present in the latter two loci and was apparently absent from membrane-bound plaques of gizzard or from focal contacts. Radioimmunoassay of tissue extracts and immunolabeling of cultured chick lens cells indicated that the selective presence of talin and of the 135-kD protein in different cell contacts is spatially regulated within individual cells. On the basis of these findings it was concluded that adherens junctions are molecularly heterogeneous and consist of at least two major subgroups. Contacts with noncellular substrates contain talin and vinculin but not the 135-kD protein, whereas their intercellular counterparts contain the latter two proteins and are devoid of talin. The significance of these results and their possible relationships to contact-induced regulation of cell behavior are discussed.

Abstract:
An der schwarzen Null scheiden sich die Geister. Damit ist der stets ausgeglichene Bundeshaushalt gemeint. Vor allem international steht er ziemlich in der Kritik, weil die sparsamen Länder keine Impulse für die Weltwirtschaft geben würden. Doch auch national fordern viele Menschen mehr Ausgaben des Staates, beispielsweise für die Infrastruktur. Demgegenüber stehen weltweit steigende Staatsschulden, die künftige Generationen belasten und schnell zum Problem werden können, wenn die Zinsen wieder steigen. Gerade in Deutschland ist der Hang zur schwarzen Null derzeit groß, weil bei deren Aufgeben befürchtet wird, dass es schnell wieder in die andere Richtung geht. Die Ökonomen Christoph A. Schaltegger und Achim Truger sind unterschiedlicher Meinung, ob man in diesen konjunkturell eher schwierigen Zeiten daran festhalten sollte.

Abstract:
Human populations and natural ecosystems are bound to be exposed to ionizing radiation from the deposition of artificial radionuclides resulting from nuclear accidents, nuclear devices or radiological dispersive devices (“dirty bombs”). On the other hand, Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material industries such as phosphate production or uranium mining, contribute to the on site storage of residuals with enhanced concentrations of natural radionuclides. Therefore, in the context of the European agreements concerning nuclear energy, namely the European Atomic Energy Community Treaty, monitoring is an essential feature of the environmental radiological surveillance. In this work, we obtain 3D maps from outdoor scenarios, and complete such maps with measured radiation levels and with its radionuclide signature. In such scenarios, we face challenges such as unknown and rough terrain, limited number of sampled locations and the need for different sensors and therefore different tasks. We propose a radiological solution for scouting, monitoring and inspecting an area of interest, using a fleet of drones and a controlling ground station. First, we scout an area with a Light Detection and Ranging sensor onboard a drone to accurately 3D-map the area. Then, we monitor that area with a Geiger–Müller Counter at a low-vertical distance from the ground to produce a radiological (heat)map that is overlaid on the 3D map of the scenario. Next, we identify the hotspots of radiation, and inspect them in detail using a drone by landing on them, to reveal its radionuclide signature using a Cadmium–Zinc–Telluride detector. We present the algorithms used to implement such tasks both at the ground station and on the drones. The three mission phases were validated using actual experiments in three different outdoor scenarios. We conclude that drones can not only perform the mission efficiently, but in general they are faster and as reliable as personnel on the ground.

Abstract:
Compression garments are widely used by athletes to improve athletic performance and to avoid potential injuries. Some compression garments are developed to exert pressure on muscle groups via thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) membrane layers laminated on the textile surface. This study investigates the effect of novel TPU membrane patterns on muscle performance of the lower extremities and on the comfort parameters of air and water vapor permeability. Three novel running leggings with TPU membrane compression zones were designed to exert pressure on the major muscle groups used during running. Electromyography (EMG) measurements of the female participants wearing the designed leggings with TPU membranes, conventional leggings and shorts were recorded during a standardized squat protocol via a wireless surface EMG system. A repeated measures analysis of variance with a Greenhouse–Geisser correction determined that the mean root of mean square values for the EMG signals retrieved from the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, gastrocnemius and hamstring muscles while wearing a specific legging design revealed statistically significant reductions in muscle activation. On the other hand, comfort tests exhibited low water vapor permeability and air permeability results when the textile surface was laminated with the TPU membrane. TPU membranes laminated on athletic wear to create compression zones could be effective in reducing muscle activation. Comfort performance is another essential design parameter that should be integrated into the design decisions. Large surfaces of solid TPU membranes should be minimized and surface textures should be employed for increased breathability.

Abstract:
New recoveries of Trilobita, Anthozoa and Conodonta from the <i>linguiformis</i> Zone close to the Frasnian/Famennian boundary and Immediately preceding the Upper Kellwasser Event level at Schleiz (Thuringia) are investigated. The trilobites species are <i>Harpes neogracilis</i> Richter & Richter, 1924, <i>Palpebralia</i> cf. <i>brecciae</i> (Richter, 1913) and <i>Acuticryphops acuticeps</i> (Kayser, 1889), the latter is represented by several morphs with different numbers of eye-lenses; the trend to eye-reduction is discussed. The Rugosa fauna that was nearly unknown from the psychrospheric facies worldwide, comprise six taxa of the Cyathaxoniina. The rich conodont faunas permit tracing the exact boundary between the top of the Late <i>Palmatolepis rhenana</i> Zone and the <i>Palmatolepis linguiformis</i> Zone. <br><br> Im Niveau der Frasnium/Famennium-Grenze werden neue Fossilfunde der letzten Trilobita, Anthozoa und Conodonta aus der <i>linguiformis</i>-Zone (vor dem Oberen Kellwasser-Event) mitgeteilt. <i>Harpes neogracilis</i> Richter & Richter, 1924, <i>Palpebralia</i> cf. <i>brecciae</i> (Richter, 1913) und <i>Acuticryphops acuticeps</i> (Kayser, 1889) wurden beobachtet; bei letzterem wird an Hand verschiedener Morphen mit unterschiedlicher Linsenzahl der Trend zur Augenreduktion diskutiert.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to search core exercise’s affect which is done regulary with female students for 8 weeks on students’ balance programs. 20 volunteer female participants who were students of Osman Nuri Yalman High school (ten of them were experimental group and ten of them were control group) were included in the study. In the survey, experimental method with pretest-posttest desing was used. Core exercise was applied on experimental group three days a week during 8 weeks on the other hand no exercise was done with control group. SPSS (Ver.20) packet program was used while analyzing data statistically. Before the analysis, normality distribution was determined by being used skewness-kurtosis and hitogram and significance level was controlled according to the greenhouse-geisser and two-way repeated measures of anova values. According to the results of the survey, significant difference was found between two groups’ pre-test–post-test balance values (F(2.69, 48.36) = 42.25, p < .05). The post-test balance values of the group in 8 directions increased significantly. When the pos-test balance values between the two groups were compared, the post- test balance values of the experimantal group participants were significantly higher than the control group participants (F(1.18) = 6.20, p < .05). Consequently; it can be said that core training applied to the high school level female students three days a week for 8 weeks can have a positive effect on balance performance.

"Phosphoinositides and Other Glycerophospholipids Interact with Protein C Inhibitor (PCI) and Modify Its Activity towards Activated Protein C (APC)." Blood 114, no. 22 (November 20, 2009): 2122. http://dx.doi.org/10.1182/blood.v114.22.2122.2122.
Abstract:
Abstract Abstract 2122 Poster Board II-99 Protein C Inhibitor (PCI, SERPINA5, PAI3) is a non-specific, secreted serine protease inhibitor (serpin) which circulates at low levels (5μg/mL or 90nM) in blood plasma (review: Geiger 2007, Suzuki 2008). First described as an inhibitor of activated protein C (APC) an anticoagulant serine protease in human plasma, it has been shown that PCI inactivates a variety of other proteases and has a wide tissue distribution. Some compounds like glycosaminoglycans (e.g. heparin, heparan sulfate) and certain phospholipids can modify PCI activity. Recently it was shown that single-stranded DNA aptamers stimulates the inhibitory activity of PCI towards APC in a glycosaminoglycan-like fashion (Müller 2009). In 2007 Malleier et al. analyzed the interaction of PCI with phosphatidylserine (PS), oxidized PS (OxPS) and oxidized phosphatidylethanolamin (OxPE). PS, OxPS and OxPE bind to PCI and enhance the stimulation of APC-inhibition 130 to 190-fold. In addition, PE supports the internalization of PCI by cells, and internalized PCI promotes phagocytosis of bacteria (Baumgärtner et al. 2007). JFC1 (synaptotagmin-like protein 1) was identified by our group as a new intracellular interaction partner of PCI and colocalization of PCI and CSN6, a subunit of the COP9 signalosome could be observed in lymphocytes. Here, we analyzed the interaction of PCI with phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), cardiolipin (CL), phosphoinositides and derived second messengers like inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). To identify lipid-regions which are important for PCI binding we were focusing on differences in fatty acid composition and headgroup phosphorylation. The binding was studied by native PAGE, protein overlay assays (dot blot analysis) or ELISA. The stimulation of PCI activity towards APC was analyzed in functional assays using a low molecular weight substrate (S-2366). IP3 and inositol-1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP4) did neither interact with PCI nor stimulate its activity towards APC. PCI bound to saturated, unsaturated and oxidized PA. The oxidized form of 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-phosphatidic acid (OxPAPA) exhibited lower binding to PCI, but higher stimulatory activity on APC inhibition, as compared to unoxidized PAPA. Saturated dipalmitoyl-PA did not modulate PCI activity. From all studied lipids 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-PG (PAPG) had the strongest stimulatory effect on APC-inhibition similar to 0.1μM low molecular weight heparin. Oxidation of PAPG led to a slight decrease and saturation to a complete loss in stimulatory activity. Also tetra-oleoyl-CL bound to PCI with high affinity and had a similar effect as oxidized PAPG and OxPAPA. All mono- and diphosphorylated phosphoinositides as well as phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate (PI3,4,5P3) bound to PCI as judged from binding assays. A mobility shift of PCI antigen on native PAGE was observed when PCI was incubated with phosphatidylinositol-3,5-diphosphate and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-diphosphate (PI4,5P2). Therefore different phospholipids modulate the activity of PCI, but on the other hand PCI may as well effect lipid signaling. As PI4,5P2 plays an important role as substrate for PI3-kinase we will take a closer look at the effect of PCI on the PI3K/PTEN system and on the activation of AKT (PKB) by PDK1. We will also study the influence of PCI on the generation of IP3 and DAG and its possible role in calcium signaling and protein kinase activation. So far we conclude that phosphoinositides and other glycerophospholipids may function as additional intracellular interaction partners of PCI. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

"Role Of High-Dose Cytarabine and Total Body Irradiation Conditioning before Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation In Mantle Cell Lymphoma - A Comparison Of Nordic MCL2, HOVON 45, and European MCL Younger Trials." Blood 122, no. 21 (November 15, 2013): 3367. http://dx.doi.org/10.1182/blood.v122.21.3367.3367.
Abstract:
Abstract Introduction High-dose cytarabine containing immuno-chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has been established as standard first-line treatment in younger mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients (ESMO guideline, Ann Oncol 2013). However, the role of total body irradiation (TBI) as conditioning regimen for ASCT has not been clarified so far. A retrospective EBMT survey of 418 MCL patients suggested a benefit of TBI with respect to the rate of relapse in patients who achieved a partial remission before ASCT (Rubio et al., ASH 2010). We combined the individual patient data of the Nordic MCL2 trial (Geisler et al., Blood 2008), the HOVON 45 trial (van’t Veer et al., BJH 2008, both without TBI), and the high-dose cytarabine containing study arm of the European MCL Younger trial (Hermine et al., ASH 2012, with TBI) to evaluate potential differences in long term outcome. Methods All trials included patients with advanced stage MCL up to 66 years and a central review of histology. Induction treatment of Nordic MCL2 consisted of 6 alternating courses of Maxi-CHOP or high-dose cytarabine (12g/m2 per cycle, 8g/m2 in patients > 60 years, total cumulative dose 24-36g/m2) combined with 4-6 cycles rituximab, in HOVON 45 three courses R-CHOP were followed by one cycle of high-dose cytarabine (16g/m2), and in MCL Younger patients received 6 alternating courses of R-CHOP or R-DHAP (4g/m2 cytarabine per cycle, total cumulative dose 12g/m2). Conditioning before ASCT consisted of BEAM or BEAC in Nordic MCL2, and BEAM in HOVON 45, whereas a TBI-containing regimen (TAM: 10 Gray TBI, 6g/m2 cytarabine, 140mg/m2 melphalan) was applied in MCL Younger. We compared baseline characteristics, progression free survival (PFS) overall survival (OS) after ASCT from the three patient cohorts with adjustment for MIPI (Hoster et al., Blood 2008) and quality of remission before ASCT. Results In Nordic MCL2, HOVON 45, and MCL Younger 145, 61, and 171 patients were transplanted in complete (CR) or partial (PR) remission (median age 57, 55, and 56 years, p=0.24). According to MIPI, 46%, 56%, and 67% were low risk, whereas 22%, 13%, and 11% were high risk patients (p=0.006). Five-year PFS after ASCT was 61%, 50%, and 78%, respectively (p<0.001) after a median observation time of 6.6, 6.5, and 4.2 years). After adjustment for MIPI score and quality of response (CR/unconfirmed CR vs. PR) before ASCT, the hazard ratio for PFS after ASCT of MCL Younger vs. Nordic MCL2 was 0.75 (p=0.17). Among the patients with CR or unconfirmed CR before ASCT, the adjusted hazard ratio was 0.91 (p=0.76) in comparison to 0.66 (p=0.17) among the PR patients. On the other hand, the hazard ratio of MCL Younger in comparison to HOVON 45 was 0.45 (p=0.001) after adjustment for MIPI score. OS after ASCT was not different between the three cohorts with 5-year OS rates of 75%, 71%, and 80%, respectively (p=0.61). Conclusion The longer PFS after ASCT of MCL Younger compared to HOVON 45 patients may be due to the different time schedule of cytarabine during induction or to a higher efficacy of TBI vs. BEAM, as the total chemotherapy doses were comparable and we adjusted for MIPI. We could not see an improved PFS after ASCT of MCL Younger compared to Nordic MCL2 patients transplanted in CR or unconfirmed CR and, after adjustment for the different risk profiles, this was also not clearly seen for patients transplanted in PR. Taking into account the substantially higher cytarabine dose in Nordic MCL2 during induction one might speculate that this fact at least partially compensated for a higher efficacy of TBI. Multivariable analyses incorporating additional prognostic factors (Ki-67 and MRD) will help to clarify the impact of the individual parts of the current multimodal approach in younger MCL patients.

Abstract:
University of Kashan was founded in 1974 and is the oldest institution of higher education in Kashan. Kashan (33° 58' 59" N / 51° 25' 56" E) climate is classified as a hot and dry by the Köppen-Geiger system. This climate causes a large amount of energy consumption for University at springs and summers. On the other hand, it means that sun is shining strongly for more than 6 months and University of Kashan has been working on some solutions to use solar energy and decrease dependency on the old fossil-fuel energy system. The current paper studies some of the main activities of University of Kashan on Energy Saving and Renewable Energy Production programs such as CCHP plant (The first Combined Cool, Heat, and Power plant in Iran), using solar panels and energy-efficient appliances.

Abstract:
White, Teagan. Counting With Barefoot Critters. Tundra Books, 2016.White’s counting book for young children begins with a good concept: make them want to turn the page. She accomplishes this by leaving a rhyme unfinished for want of a number that the listener must volunteer. This is a clever technique and will, undoubtedly, produce engagement. Unfortunately, White is not an effective poet; the rhymed couplets comprising her stanzas fail to exploit the power of verse for children.English is a language with stressed syllables. Rhythm, the arrangement of non-stressed and stressed syllables within a poetic “foot”, can draw attention to key words and concepts. It can also facilitate memory. For early readers, it can be a key to pronunciation. Combined with witty and inventive language, rhythm creates humor and/or suspense. (Theodore Geisel, “Dr. Seuss,” set the bar quite high in this regard.) Rhythm and foot in poetry can contribute to a child’s understanding of beat and measure in music, inviting a physical response. Too often, the couplets in White’s work sound rhythmically forced, as in this example-- which, incidentally, also fails as a pronunciation guide: “Surely we’ve earned a nice, peaceful rest Now that we’ve finished our daring conquest.” (Eight, [p.15])Flaws such as this weaken what could have been a superb book. White’s colored drawings are enchanting. They are detailed enough to invite the joy of discovery, but not so cluttered as to confuse. Her “Barefoot Critters” are adorable. The map that introduces their adventures is easily followed by the intended audience and is another clever way of inviting children to learn a number sequence. None-the- less, literary quality and artistic excellence should go hand-in-hand in books for children. Counting With Barefoot Critters has much of the second, and not quite enough of the first.Recommended: 3 of 4 starsReviewer: Leslie AitkenLeslie Aitken’s long career in librarianship involved selection of children’s literature for school, public, special, and university collections.

Abstract:
Spiel nach Gehör ist eine wesentliche, doch vielfach vernachlässigte musikalische Grundfertigkeit. Nach dem Modell mentaler Repräsentationen musikalischer Performanz basiert Spiel nach Gehör auf der Klangvorstellung (goal imaging) und der sensomotorischen Umsetzungsfähigkeit (motor production). Die Klangvorstellung bildet sich beim Spiel nach Gehör rein aus Inhalten des auditiven Arbeitsgedächtnisses. Bisherige Erkenntnisse zeigen, dass Musikerinnen und Musiker aus Bereichen der Volks- und Popularmusik bessere Fähigkeiten im Spiel nach Gehör haben als ‚klassisch‘ ausgebildete. Untersuchungen zum Spiel nach Gehör von Violinistinnen und Violinisten unterschiedlicher Vorerfahrung, speziell in den Bereichen ‚Klassik‘ und Jazz, fehlen bislang. Darüber hinaus sind keine Untersuchungen zur melodischen Imitation von Stimuli aus vertrauten und fremden Musikstilen bekannt. Es wurden westliche Studierende (N = 29) mit Instrument Geige/Bratsche in ihren Fähigkeiten im Spiel nach Gehör anhand zweier unbekannter Melodien aus drei unterschiedlich vertrauten Musikstilen (westlich, jazzig, indisch) getestet. Allen Teilnehmenden war westliche Kunstmusik gut vertraut, die Hälfte von ihnen hatte zusätzlich musikpraktische Vorerfahrungen im Jazz, indische Kunstmusik war den westlichen Musikstudierenden am wenigsten vertraut. Es wurde (a) die Jazzerfahrung in Jahren erhoben, (b) die akkumulierten Übungsstunden als Indiz für motorische Umsetzungsfertigkeit per Fragebogen gemessen und (c) die Klangvorstellung daran bestimmt, wie gut eine unbekannte Melodie nach Gehör auf Notennamen wiedergegeben wurde. Somit misst die Klangvorstellung bei uns eine Integration von melodischer Merkfähigkeit und analytischem Hören – von implizitem und explizitem musikalischem Wissen. Einflüsse musikalischer Vorerfahrungen auf die per Expertenrating gemessenen Leistungen im Spiel nach Gehör in den drei unterschiedlich vertrauten Musikstilen wurden regressionsanalytisch untersucht. Die drei unabhängigen Variablen (a) bis (c) korrelierten nicht untereinander. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass im vertrauten westlichen Musikstil die akkumulierten Übungsstunden dicht gefolgt von der Klangvorstellung der beste Prädiktor für gute Leistungen im Spiel nach Gehör sind, während Erfahrungen im Jazz irrelevant sind. Bei den jazzigen Melodien wirkt sich besonders Jazzerfahrung in Jahren neben Klangvorstellung positiv auf Leistungen im Spiel nach Gehör aus. Jazzstreicher erwerben folglich die für das Spiel nach Gehör erforderliche motorische Umsetzung weniger beim Üben alleine, sondern über andere jazztypische Praktiken. Im wenig vertrauten indischen Musikstil unterstützt mit Abstand am besten die Klangvorstellung das Spiel nach Gehör. Musikstilübergreifend haben somit die Klangvorstellung und die akkumulierten Übungsstunden einen wichtigeren Einfluss auf Leistungen im Spiel nach Gehör als Jazzerfahrung. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen darüber hinaus, dass speziell die Klangvorstellung das Spiel nach Gehör und insbesondere eine Teilhabe im transkulturellen Kontext unterstützt. ‚Klassiker‘ und Jazzer erwerben die für das Spiel nach Gehör erforderliche motorische Umsetzungsfähigkeit langfristig auf kulturspezifische Weise und können sie im vertrauten Musikstil besser abrufen. Die westliche Musikpädagogik müsste die Integration von hörbasierter Spielpraxis und musikalischem Verstehen, insbesondere die Ohr-Hand-Koordination in unterschiedlichen Anwendungssituationen stärker fokussieren. Dies ermöglicht die Teilhabe an einer breiten Vielfalt kultureller Stile und kreativer Praktiken. Zukünftige Forschungen sollten weitere Einflussfaktoren auf die wichtige Grundfertigkeit des Spiels nach Gehör untersuchen, die ein wesentlicher Faktor für die Ausbildung einer umfassenden Musikalität und die langfristige Motivation im Instrumentalunterricht ist.

Abstract:
Seuss, Dr. What Pet Should I Get? New York: Random House Children’s Books, 2015. Print.This title will be of great interest to children’s literature specialists and researchers. The end notes tell us that in 1991, when Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) died, the manuscript was left in a box of his studio projects. His widow, Audrey, and former secretary, Claudia Prescott, discovered it in the fall of 2013. The manuscript comprised line drawings to which pieces of paper containing potential text had been attached. In some instances, multiple versions of text had been taped on top of each other.Cathy Goldsmith, Seuss’s art director for the last eleven years of his life, surmises that Seuss began the book between 1958 and 1962. If she is correct, Seuss was by this time a very well established figure in children’s literature, having had success with such treasures as And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street (1937); The 500 Hats of Bartholemew Cubbins (1938); Horton Hatches the Egg (1940); and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1957).Seuss had ventured into writing for children after a very successful career as a cartoonist. (In particular, his design of advertisements had proven lucrative.) Beginning in the late 1950s, however, his artistic and literary talents were to be employed in yet another direction, the Beginner Books that Random House would publish to foster reading interest among children in their primary school years. The challenge was to create an interesting picture book using the controlled vocabulary (200 to 300 very basic words) of the “Dick, Jane and Baby Sally” variety of primer. Seuss was up for the challenge. Certainly, The Cat in the Hat, also 1957, had astonishing success in this regard. It may well be that What Pet Should I Get? was another such attempt. In any case, its story line is simple: two children in a pet store face the dilemma of selecting just one of the vast array of adorable possibilities.Goldsmith and the editors at Random House have done their best to create the book Seuss might have intended. They have made decisions about not only which lines of text might best suit his drawings, but also the color palette he might have selected, the position and nature of the font, and so forth. The end result is mixed in terms of its literary impact. The drawings are pure Seuss; his signature is all over them. The color palette is, arguably, what he might have chosen. The text, however, is dull. It never lifts from the page—possibly because Seuss felt he must restrict his vocabulary choices. THEN . . . I saw a new kind! And they were good, too! How could I pick one? Now what should we do? We could only pick one. That is what my dad said, Now how could I make up that mind in my head? (page 18, unnumbered) This is scarcely lively, engaging Seuss. When he was at his best, his writing maintained a consistent beat, a measured foot, and, often, an internal rhyme. He repeated, distorted and created words in the cause of a rollicking rhythm. Consider this stanza describing the fiendish Grinch in flight with the holiday loot that he has stolen from Whoville. Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mt. Crumpit, He rode with his load to the tiptop to dump it! “Pooh-Pooh to the Whos!” he was grinch-ish-ly humming. “They’re finding out now that no Christmas is coming! “They’re just waking up! I know just what they’ll do! “Their mouths will hang open a minute or two “Then the Whos down in Who-ville will all cry BOO-HOO!The passage simply spirits the reader along. Sadly, What Pet Should I Get? does not contain this kind of writing. Still, we must treasure the manuscript. It gives us insight into the artist at work: what he envisioned, how he began, what he decreed to be finished or not. This early draft of What Pet Should I Get? was probably not quite what Seuss had hoped it would be. It was not perfect. It was not finished. He set it aside. The inescapable conclusion is that he, who gave much to his readers, demanded much of himself.Rating: Not applicable in this caseReviewer: Leslie AitkenLeslie Aitken’s long career in librarianship involved selection of children’s literature for school, public, special, and university collections.

Abstract:
ObjectiveA case study on the visual-material components of story map journals as visual, new media interactive health reporting used in population health surveillance. The story map journal is demonstrated an effective tool that visually reports, maps and tracks global support networks and health resources for post-polio (PPS) survivors.IntroductionHow are interactive story map journals situated within the genre of interactive, health science reporting? How can reporting information to public audiences be theorized through traditional and contemporary understandings of new media genres in technical, health and science communication (1-7). Although the polio vaccine has eradicated the disease in the United States, and 99% worldwide (8), PPS has emerged as a present-day condition that continues to affect many polio survivors years after the initial onset and recovery. Since the symptoms of PPS are oftentimes mis-identified as other illnesses, the diagnosis and management of disease is especially challenging for PPS survivors due to the limited knowledge of and access to PPS resources and support networks (9-11).In 2011, Esri created the ArcGIS story map initiative to meet a need for public audiences who sought how to critically think, better understand, communicate, and interact with world news events. ArcGIS is a geospatially-driven, new media platform that enables audiences to engage with interactive storytelling of news events. Public health and news reporting agencies are now turning to Esri and similar interactive, geospatially driven new media platforms for health and disease surveillance (12-14). Esri’s ArcGIS mobile and web technology platform visually reports, maps and tracks population health data information. With the emergence of such new media applications, it is therefore important to recognize multimodal, visualization strategies that investigate how interaction design choices within the story map journal influence and engage public health audiences. In the field of technical and professional communication (15), applied concept of visual-material rhetorics is a useful mode of inquiry in the study of interactive story map journals. Propen’s concept presents a new understanding of how researchers in disease and public health surveillance can analyze the effectiveness of text and new media technology in relationship to space, place, and geospatial mapping. More specifically, Propen’s concept situates the visual-material as the applied use of text with visual, interactive multimodal components inclusive of images, video, and GPS/GIS mapping technologies.MethodsThis presentation includes a discussion of genre analysis as applied to visual-material components used to study the genre of new media-driven story map journals for the reporting of public and population health resources. Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS) is presented as a case study of how story map journals in population health can be used to create information about global support networks and resources for PPS survivors.ResultsThe story map journal is an effective genre of new media, interactive reporting in health and disease surveillance. The analysis alongside Propen’s mode of inquiry demonstrates the effectiveness of visual-material components of story maps, and how PPS survivors and medical clinicians can use the story map journal to easily access, visualize, and interact with information about diagnosis and disease management, as well as find connections to local and global support networks.ConclusionsStory map journals as visual, interactive reporting should be considered when analyzing the accessibility and surveillance of health data for public audiences. The case study of PPS global networks and resources, provides one example of how story map journals can assist public audiences who experience difficulties finding support networks and public health resourcesReferences1.
