Full textAbstract:
Exploring the realms of suffering of the marginalized ones is the forte of Mahasweta Devi’s writings. Associating her socio-political activism, Devi’s works portray the concept of the gendered subaltern, which implies the extreme subalternation of women based on gender and nationality, caste or class. Many of her influential writings have asserted the perspective of women, alienated from the patriarchal pole. Moreover, she has mainly concentrated on the abject suffering of the tribal women, for whom oppression has become a common fate in the orthodox patriarchal society. What is interesting is that this paper will not only include Devi’s short story “Draupadi”, but also its Manipuri theatrical adaptation by Heisnam Kanhailal of the same name. Apart from the different political and historical context, both of these works resonate a strong resistance and dissent against the frameworks and structures of patriarchy. Both evolve and develop a strong resistance against the current of the dehumanized sufferings. This politics of representation in these two works also could be interpreted as a politics for voice and agency. While discussing Devi’s short story “Draupadi” and Kanhailal’s play <em>Draupadi</em>, this paper will also shed light on the transformation of the central character from a distressed and pallid sufferer to a powerful protestor and warrior, and a political one. Analyzing the political backdrops, these hint towards the contemporary social conditions in India and will reflect upon the place and identity of women within the hegemonic domain of patriarchy.

Literature creates a new society. Provides new condition and direction to the society. In the late twentieth century, new social movements appeared in India. Dalits, women, tribals and tribal communities, through new solidarity, opposed exploitation towards themselves and launched a collective campaign for the emancipation of the entire community. Along with the socio-political movement, the literary movement was also the main part of this campaign. Dalit discourse and women discourse are the result of this. In the identity discourses that came to light after independence, the newest discourse after Dalit discourse and women discourse is tribal discourse. Now tribal literature containing tribal consciousness has made its presence felt on the Hindi literature board. After decades of struggle and resistance, today tribal literature is being brought under the central periphery as an autonomous subject, tribal society and literature are being discussed continuously. But like the tribal society, the struggle of tribal literature continues even today. Even today tribal literature is facing many problems and challenges. The main reason for this is the tribal society, the unfamiliarity and neglectful attitude of the society outside life. Tribal literature can be an important means of communicating with the tribal society, provided it is properly evaluated, for this it is essential to have an understanding of its basic elements. It is necessary to have proper concepts and parameters of tribal literature.
 Abstract in Hindi Language:
 साहित्य समाज का नव सृजन करता है। समाज को नयी दशा व दिशा प्रदान करता है। बीसवीं सदी के अंत में भारत में नए सामाजिक आंदोलन दृष्टिगत हुए। दलितों, स्त्रियों, आदिवासियों व जनजातीय समुदायों ने नई एकजुटता के माध्यम से अपने प्रति शोषण का विरोध किया और संपूर्ण समुदाय की मुक्ति हेतु सामूहिक अभियान चलाया। सामाजिक राजनीतिक आंदोलन के साथ-साथ साहित्यिक आंदोलन भी इस अभियान का मुख्य हिस्सा था। दलित विमर्श और स्त्री विमर्श इसी का परिणाम है। आज़ादी के पश्चात् प्रकाश में आए अस्मितावादी विमर्शों में दलित विमर्श एवं स्त्री विमर्श के बाद सबसे नया विमर्श आदिवासी विमर्श है। अब आदिवासी चेतना से युक्त आदिवासी साहित्य हिंदी साहित्य पटल पर अपनी उपस्थिति दर्ज करा चुका है। दशकों के संघर्ष और प्रतिरोध के पश्चात् आज आदिवासी साहित्य को स्वायत्त विषय के रूप में केन्द्रीय परिधि में लाया जा रहा है, आदिवासी समाज व साहित्य पर निरन्तर पर चर्चा की जा रही है। किंतु आदिवासी समाज की तरह आदिवासी साहित्य का संघर्ष आज भी जारी है। आज भी आदिवासी साहित्य अनेक समस्याओं एवं चुनौतियों से जूझ रहा है। इसका प्रमुख कारण आदिवासी समाज, जीवन से बाहरी समाज का अपरिचय और उपेक्षापूर्ण रवैया है। आदिवासी समाज से संवाद करने का आदिवासी साहित्य महत्त्वपूर्ण ज़रिया हो सकता है, बशर्तें उसका सही मूल्यांकन किया जाये इस हेतु इसके बुनियादी तत्वों की समझ होना अपरिहार्य है। आदिवासी साहित्य की उचित धारणाएँ एवं मापदण्ड होने आवश्यक हैं।

Since the perspectives of the national movement and tribal resistance differ due to various reasons, therefore, much of the history of tribal resistance against colonization has not been documented in details. In colonial records, however, these resistance acts have been interpreted and depicted as an attack by wild tribes on civilized governments. And, this form of colonial interpretation of history has been perpetuated for decades without any critical analysis of the events. In other words, many researchers failed to look at it from a tribal point of view; they failed to study it as a phenomenon of indigenous resistance. Throughout India’s tribal history, numerous heroic battles have been fought by the tribes against the colonial rule, but few of them have made it into history. This is particularly true of the adjacent hill tribes of Assam. The Khamtis who are considered as one of the most important communities of Arunachal Pradesh who carried out resistance movements against the colonial ruler, but their gallant act of resistance is still missing in the pages of history books. Therefore, all those tribal resistance movements should be researched and brought into the history of the region. Hence, in this paper, a humble attempt would be made to unearth the resistance movement of the Khamti.

Abstract This paper explores the gender representation of the Santal community in Triabl literature in English. The paper focuses on how indigenous narratives portray the roles, identities, and struggles of Santal men and women. Tribal literature is rooted in oral traditions and lived experiences, offers a unique lens through which the socio-cultural dynamics of the Santals are articulated. The study examines contemporary literary texts of two Santal writers including Rejina Marandi’s Becoming Me (2014) and Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar’s The Adivasi Will Not Dance (2015). It highlights the dual marginalization of Santal women both as Tribal and as women, while also acknowledging instances of agency, resistance, and empowerment within their communities. Through an intersectional analysis, the paper reveals how gendered experiences in Santal society are deeply intertwined with issues of land, labor, identity, and resistance against dominant hegemonies. Ultimately, the paper argues for a more nuanced understanding of gender in Tribal literature in English, one that moves beyond stereotypes and recognizes the complexity of indigenous life and expression in the contemporary global context.By employing intersectional and postcolonial feminist frameworks, this study analyzes the ways in which gender identity, sexuality, and resistance are constructed and articulated within the socio-cultural landscapes of indigenous communities in India. Through close readings, the paper investigates how the authors challenge hegemonic narratives, confront systemic marginalization, and redefine gender roles in tribal contexts. Keywords: Santal women, Indigenous narratives, marginalised literature, gendered resistance, women agency

Full textAbstract:
Mahasweta Devi and Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar, the two writers with their literary writings have brought forward the issues and predicaments of tribal and Dalit communities. Mahasweta Devi is a comparatively highly prolific writer who has been called as the mouthpiece of the subalterns of the society. Mahasweta Devi raised her voice several times against the discrimination of marginalized through her short stories and novels. Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar is a Santhal writer who belongs to an ethnic group. His stories deeply reflect the issues surrounding the Santhal community of India. He is working for the betterment of Santhal community so that they can become a part of the mainstream. This paper will discuss and focus on the style of writing employed by Mahasweta Devi and Hansda Sowvendra portray the prosecution faced by Santhal people at the hands of elitist class and they are never giving up spirit in any situation. Their dialogue and action show their will to overcome from the shackles of tyranny inflicted on them. The language has a significant role in not only influencing the mind of readers, but also the government who are compelled to look and pay attention into their grievances. Thus, this paper will carefully observe how these writers became the voices of the poor and marginalized class by the use of violence and resistance in their language.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The poems "The Weapons in My Hands", "If Only Tamarind Were Not Sour!", and "Jamuni, Who Are You After All?" by Jacinta Kerketta offer profound insights into the struggles faced by marginalized communities in India, particularly the tribal populations. Kerketta, a member of the Oraon tribe from Jharkhand, India, uses her poetry to voice the anguish, resistance, and resilience of tribal people. In "The Weapons in My Hands", Kerketta explores the themes of land alienation, cultural identity, and resistance, symbolizing the ongoing fight for survival and dignity through the imagery of weapons. Similarly, "If Only Tamarind Were Not Sour!" delves into the socio-economic hardships of a young girl who faces rejection and poverty. In "Jamuni, Who Are You After All?", the poet critiques the objectification and commodification of women’s suffering, reflecting on how the pain and trauma of marginalized individuals are sensationalized by the media. This paper examines the thematic connections between displacement, resistance, and socio-economic inequality in Kerketta's work. It also explores how her poetry highlights the deep connection between tribal people and their land, culture, and identity, emphasizing the need for social change and resistance in the face of exploitation. Through her vivid portrayal of the tribal struggle, Kerketta’s work calls for a greater recognition of indigenous voices and the preservation of their cultural integrity. Keywords: Tribal identity, resistance, land alienation, cultural preservation, displacement, socio-economic inequality, Jacinta Kerketta, gender oppression, media commodification, feminist literature.

The year 1799 A.D. is marked in the annals of Midnapore as the year of the great Chuar Rebellion when all the Adivasis, Sirdars and paiks broke out in a rebellion. They wanted the restoration of their Jagir lands which the British had forcibly resumed earlier. It was a formidable resistance of the Adivasis against the colonial regime. The lawless tribes of the jungle mehal made common cause with the paiks and peasants and carried slaughter and flame to the very doors of the Magistrate's cutcherry. The plundered booty on some occasions was distributed among the ryots. The threat to burn the town and to plunder revenue was no doubt a form of anti-colonial resistance against the East India Company.

Full textAbstract:
This article undertakes a critical exploration of selected Odia tribal short stories—Abani Kumar Baral’s “The Bamboo Queen,” Bhagabati Charan Panigrahi’s “Jungli,” Durga Madhab Mishra’s “Buda Kirisani,” Pranabandhu Kar’s “The Vanquished” and “Two Friends,” Rajat Mohapatra’s “The Daughter of Niyamagiri,” Bhubaneswar Behera’s “The Flying Fringe,” and Gayatri Saraf’s “The Burning Mountain.” These stories, while situated within the socio-geographical milieu of Odisha’s tribal heartlands, transcend the realm of ethnographic reportage to emerge as aesthetic articulations of indigenous epistemologies, affective registers, and resistant subjectivities. This article interrogates the inadequacies of conventional historiographic and sociological discourses that often instrumentalize tribal existence as a static and legible category within the developmentalist grammar of the nation-state. In contrast, it posits literature—particularly fiction—as a counter-discursive site which articulates the ontological realities, emotional topographies, and political anxieties of tribal lifeworlds.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how the Narmada damming project in India is constituted and contested by the state, affected tribal peoples ( adivasis), and a transnational advocacy network led by the Narmada Bachao Andolan (Save the Narmada Movement). Based on ethnographic fieldwork, and employing critical anthropological perspectives on development and globalization, the power relations underlying dominance and resistance are mapped out. The conflicting discourses, strategies and practices of Narmada proponents and opponents are conceptualized within local, regional, national, and transnational sites and modalities. Further, the negotiation of state dominance and adivasi resistance is analyzed through contradictory practice and shifting political alignments. Lastly, this thesis delineates how the Narmada conflict is permeated by complex symbolic and moral mechanisms activated by both state authorities and activist resistors.

Full textAbstract:
This study attempts to analyse the internal dynamics of the most recent Kurdish resistance movement in Turkey. The main focus of analysis is the PKK's organisational existence - its ideational and material structure. As the leading entity of the Kurdish movement, the research focuses on the PKK's recent growth - asking how it became capable of revitalising the "buried" body of Kurdishness in Anatolia that has been incorporated (in both demographic and geographical terms) into the Turkicized Republic. Within the framework of the case study method, much of the research is devoted to answering an indirect question: why wasn't it the other Kurdish "national" configurations that came to prominence? To this end, the study tries to appraise the extent of national and non-national ingredients in the make-up of the movement - the leadership, the grassroots and the masses that give their support. The conclusion reached is that the successes and failures of the PKK in bringing about Kurdish opposition in Turkey are fundamentally related to its philosophy of recruitment and organisational diligence, rather than to its scrupulous use of arms or other contextual factors. The form, content and intensity of educational activities give the organisation its strength. This "education war" - concomitant with the contextual tension of Turkey's Kurdish question - produced a "sparking" Apo charisma. In its originating period, the "pure form" of this charisma contributed much to the PKK's ability to mobilise the Kurds. The later "routinised" form of the very charisma has become one of principal determinants in what is known as the movement's "shrinkage process". It was also found that the substance of the party education - mainly involving Öcalan's talks - embodies a philosophy of human nature (rather than a strictly nationalistic content) in search of the re-appropriation of "human naturalness". In the party leadership's view, this human naturalness has to be extricated from the plague of civilisation's property mechanisms, which apparently have degenerated the humane faculties of man's spiritual structure. However, it ought not to be understood that the intensively worded philosophy depicts the extent of such extrication in the personalities of the cadre body of the Organisation. And the field research indicates that this is the Party's greatest internal contradiction.

Full textAbstract:
Domestic violence and sexual assault rates are higher on Indian reservations than anywhere else in the country. This text works toward an understanding of sexual violence as a legacy of colonialism. Rather than being rooted in inherent racial or cultural differences, current rates of sexual violence on Indian reservations are a continuation of a historical pattern in which colonizers used rape as a weapon to control, contain, and conquer the Indians. The unique history of racist and sexist oppression inflicted on Native Americans through the institutionalized denial of kinship, culture, sovereignty, and body autonomy has exacerbated the violence while frustrating the healing process. This paper describes how the boarding schools, Indian child removal, PL 280, the Oliphant decision, cultural appropriation, and the sexualized stereotyping of Indian women led to high rates of sexual violence on Indian reservations. It then explores how the Tulalip Tribes of Washington State have been proactive in fighting to end sexual assault and violence on their reservation, through retrocession, a holistic approach to batterer reform, and victim advocacy, while simultaneously lobbying in support of legislation such as the Violence Against Women Act, which would allow the Tribes to acquire criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians.

Full textAbstract:
Background and objective: Childhood obesity is a serious global health problem and it is associated with insulin resistance and significantly increased risk for development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Metformin reduces the risk of developing T2D in adult patients with obesity and insulin resistance. However there is limited and inconclusive data in obese non diabetic children and adolescents. The objective of the Metformin in Obese Children and Adolescents (MOCA trial) was to assess the effect of metformin on body composition, metabolic risk factors and adipokines. Design and methods: The MOCA trial was a six month multi-centre randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial of metformin (1.5g daily) in children and adolescents (8-18 years) with insulin resistance and/or impaired glucose tolerance. Auxology, blood pressure measurement and fasting blood tests (insulin, glucose, fasting lipids, ALT, bilirubin, CRP, lactate, resistin, adiponectin, leptin) were performed at baseline, three and six months. A prolonged oral glucose tolerance test was performed at baseline and after six months. Measures of insulin resistance/sensitivity were calculated including HOMA-IR and the adiponectin: leptin (A/L) ratio. Results: 151 obese children participated in the trial (metformin:77, placebo:78). 102 (67.5%) female, 99 (65.6%) post-pubertal, 115 (76.2%) White British and 36 (23.8%) British Asian or Afro-Caribbean. Mean age of participants was 13.7 ±2.3 year and mean BMI-SDS 3.4 (0.5). In regression analysis, controlling for baseline values, sex, ethnicity and pubertal status, metformin had a greater treatment effect over placebo for BMI at three months, that was sustained at six months (-0.25 kg/m2, p=0.01, 95% CI 0.29 to 1.86) and BMI-SDS (-0.1, p=0.01, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.19). Fasting glucose reduced (-0.03 mmol/l, p=0.03) and A/L ratio increased at three months (+0.04, p=0.03), but the improvements were lost at six months. The other measures of insulin sensitivity, metabolic risk factors and concentrations of adipokines did not change with metformin treatment. Conclusions: Metformin therapy for obese children with abnormal insulin glucose status is safe, well tolerated and has a small beneficial treatment effect over placebo for BMI, BMI-SDS, fasting glucose and A/L ratio at three months, with the changes in body composition sustained at six months. A three month course of metformin should be considered by Paediatricians to halt the inexorable rise in BMI-SDS in these children, improve insulin glucose status and act as catalyst and support for more radical change in lifestyle in the individual.

Full textAbstract:
Nowell (1976) first proposed that unless cytotoxic cancer therapy eradicates all tumor cells, genetic or heritable variation within heterogeneous tumors will inevitably lead to the evolution of chemotherapeutic resistance through clonal selection. This evolutionary hypothesis was formalized by Goldie and Coldman (1979), who developed one of the earliest mathematical kinetic models of resistance evolution in neoplasms. Their model predicted that the likelihood of response and cure would be increased in combination vs single agent cytotoxic therapies. In a later study, Gardner (2002) developed a computational kinetic model to predict chemotherapeutic combinations, doses, and schedules most likely to result in patient response and prolonged life. This model predicts that combination therapy involving both cytotoxic and cytostatic drugs will be more effective than combination therapy involving only cytotoxic drugs. Thus far, no systematic evaluation of the Goldie and Coldman and Gardner hypotheses have been conducted in the metastatic clinical trial setting. Here I test these hypotheses using the results of over 700 phase II, III and II/III clinical trials. I show that, as predicted by Goldie and Coldman, both overall response rate and overall survival were greater in combination arms. Moreover, median duration of response – the key indicator of the rate of resistance evolution - was also greater in combination vs single agent arms. These results suggest that generally combination chemotherapy is more effective than single agent therapy for advanced solid tumors as predicted by Goldie and Coldman (1979) hypothesis and that, at least in the metastatic setting, the potential disadvantages of combination therapy with respect to accelerated resistance evolution are outweighed by the greater waiting times for resistance mutations to arise. By contrast, although combination cytotoxic and cytostatic therapy is associated with a greater average overall response rate than multi agent cytotoxic therapy, this is not the case for both median duration of response and overall survival. Hence, there is no evidence that, in contrast to the predictions of the Gardner (2002) model, combination cytotoxic and cytostatic therapy decreases the rate of resistance evolution relative to that obtaining under combination cytotoxic therapy.

Full textAbstract:
<p> In the study of the Holocaust and the genocidal policies of the Nazi regime, emphasis is most frequently placed on the attempted extermination of the Jewish population of Europe. While this focus is not misplaced, the result of this focus often forces other persecuted groups into the background. The persecution of the Jehovah’s Witnesses of Germany is often given limited attention in Holocaust historiography. Although not designated for extermination like the Jews, the Nazi regime sought to bring about an end to the presence of this religious sect, viewing the Witnesses as a threat to the unity of the German Reich. This paper draws on the theories of Benedict Anderson and Hannah Arendt and uses the region of present-day North Rhine-Westphalia as a case study in an effort to explain how and why the Jehovah’s Witnesses (unlike other sectarian religions) came to be seen as enemies of the Reich. It is estimated that there were 2,500 documented cases of state-sponsored persecution inflicted upon Witnesses living in North Rhine-Westphalia. The types of persecution varied from trial and imprisonment in concentration camps, to the removal of children from the care of their parents, to execution. Although the numbers of individuals targeted do not rival those of the Jews, their marginalization in the study of the Holocaust and genocide limits our understanding of the scope of this crime against humanity. This paper is an attempt to correct this deficiency.</p>

This project evaluated genetically modified Cavendish bananas and plantains for field and glasshouse resistance to banana bunchy top virus in Malawi in Africa, over a three-and-a-half-year period. The study identified several GM lines with significant resistance to the virus and provided a rare insight into virus-vector relations and the climate. The research showed that rigorous field assessment of GM plants for disease resistance is critical and that immunity to this virus will likely only be achieved using a multi-faceted resistance strategy.

"Improvements in gait characteristics after intensive resistance and functional training in people with dementia: a randomised controlled trial." BioMed Central, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/610031.
Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND:Preventing and rehabilitating gait disorders in people with dementia during early disease stage is of high importance for staying independent and ambulating safely. However, the evidence gathered in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effectiveness of exercise training for improving spatio-temporal gait parameters in people with dementia is scarce. The aim of the present study was to determine whether a specific, standardized training regimen can improve gait characteristics in people with dementia.METHODS:Sixty-one individuals (mean age: 81.9years) with confirmed mild to moderate stage dementia took part in a 3-month double-blinded outpatient RCT. Subjects in the intervention group (IG) received supervised, progressive resistance and functional group training for 3months (2 times per week for two hours) specifically developed for people with dementia. Subjects in the control group (CG) conducted a low-intensity motor placebo activity program. Gait characteristics were measured before and after the intervention period using a computerized gait analysis system (GAITRite(R)).RESULTS:Adherence to the intervention was excellent, averaging 91.9% in the IG and 94.4% in the CG. The exercise training significantly improved gait speed (P < 0.001), cadence (P = 0.002), stride length (P = 0.008), stride time (P = 0.001), and double support (P = 0.001) in the IG compared to the CG. Effect sizes were large for all gait parameters that improved significantly (Cohen's d: 0.80-1.27). No improvements were found for step width (P = 0.999), step time variability (P = 0.425) and Walk-Ratio (P = 0.554). Interestingly, low baseline motor status, but not cognitive status, predicted positive training response (relative change in gait speed from baseline).CONCLUSION:The intensive, dementia-adjusted training was feasible and improved clinically meaningful gait variables in people with dementia. The exercise program may represent a model for preventing and rehabilitating gait deficits in the target group. Further research is required for improving specific gait characteristics such as gait variability in people with dementia.TRIAL REGISTRATION:ISRCTN49243245

In Evadarea Tăcută: 3000 de zile singură în închisorile din România or The Silent Escape: 3000 Days Alone in Romanian’s Prisons, Lena Constante narrates the first seven years and seven months she spent in solitary detainment in the Romanian com-munist penal system. A playwright, artist, illustrator, and puppet-maker, Constante (1909–2005) was imprisoned as a result of one of the biggest Stalinist show-trials of the 1950s, the “Pătrășcanu lot,” which auctioned off prison sentences to Lucrețiu Pătrășcanu1 and his close friends and associ-ates. Orchestrated by Gheorge Gheorgiu-Dej, the General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party after 1947, and resembling the charges brought against prominent Party members like Ana Pauker, Vasile Luca, and Teohari Georgescu, the trial aimed at purging the upper echelons of the Party of dangerous political opponents, while simultaneously bring-ing Romania in line with directives from Moscow.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter lays out the theoretical foundation of the book. It conceptualizes resistance as a space in-between small-scale mundane practices with a low level of collective organizing and large-scale protest activities which often exemplify resistance in social movement studies. In line with feminist and queer conceptualization of resistance, the authors suggest to examine multi-scalarity of resistant practices. The chapter attends to three scales of feminist and LGBTI+ activism in Russia, Turkey, and Scandinavia. The first scale analyzes activism in relation to the civil society-state-market triad. The second scale problematizes the notion of solidarity in relations between feminist and LGBTI+ activists from different geopolitical regions and countries as well as between small- and large-scale activist organizations and groups. Finally, the third scale focuses on individual resistant practices and the role of individual bodies in emergence of collective political struggles.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The trial production of 10-3/4" O.D. duplex stainless steel line pipes by High Frequency Electric Resistance Welding (HF-ERW) process was performed. In HF-ERW welding, micro oxide inclusions are more likely to occur in the stainless steel than in the carbon steel(1) First the effect of quantity and distribution of those oxides in the weld seam on the material properties were investigated. Then the optimum welding conditions were established in which no harmful oxides appear in the weld line. The metallographical examinations showed that the micro structure of weld zone was as uniform and as fine grained as base metal and that the ferrite/austenite ratio in the weld zone was almost same as that of base metal. The weld area was exposed to pitting corrosion resistance tests and stress corrosion cracking tests, and all tests showed acceptable and much the same corrosion resistances as the base material. The mechanical and impact tests also showed no significant differences between weld and base metal. From this study HF-ERW process was recognized as an economical and reliable process for manufacturing duplex stainless steel or even other corrosion resistant alloy line pipes.

"Hydrogen Flux and Corrosion Rate Measurements on Hydrogen Induced Cracking Susceptible and Resistant a516 Steels in Various Sour Environments." In CORROSION 2010. NACE International, 2010. https://doi.org/10.5006/c2010-10179.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Two A516 16 mm plate steels were simultaneously exposed to various sour saturated solutions at 20°C over two week trials. One plate was known to be highly resistant to HIC cracking, the other to be highly susceptible to HIC cracking. Flux and corrosion rates of the two plates decreased after a few days in non-buffered acid solutions, whereas in buffered acid conditions they maintained a steady state. Crack surface ratios of HIC susceptible plates post-trial were approximately proportional to the total wall flux passed. In ammonium bisulfide solutions, flux was only induced by addition of cyanide. In all trials, flux from the two plates co-trended extremely closely. Computed hydrogen diffusivities, entry concentrations, and permeabilities of the HIC resistant and susceptible plates were similar. Diffusion coefficients varied between 8 and 12 x 10-6 cm2.s-1, consistent with other data for A516 steels. There was good correlation between corrosion rate and steady state flux for the first day of measurement, except from pH 2.7 solutions, where an additional, non-hydrogen occluding corrosion of 0.5 mm/yr corrosion rate was attributed to similar corrosion measured prior to sour saturation. Apart from this, no pH effect on the correlation was evident between pH 2.7 and pH 9.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Operating conditions of a chlorine dioxide (ClO2) generator create enormous challenges for the materials of construction. During the last two decades, advanced and chlorine-free ClO2 generation technology emerged but with an increased requirement for even more resistant materials of construction. In one of the most widely used processes, ClO2 is derived from sodium chlorate, sulfuric acid and methanol. Titanium is not resistant to sulfuric acid, but in conditions of mixed acid and chlorate, titanium demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance. For older ClO2 generators, use of Grade 2 (UNS R50400) titanium was sufficient, but newer technology has increased acid concentration and temperature. Grade 12 titanium (UNS R53400) was found to be less resistant than Grade 2. Grade 7 titanium (UNS R52400) performs very well in more severe conditions with 15-20 years life expectancy. In laboratory studies, Grade 16 titanium with lower palladium content (UNS R52402), showed similar corrosion resistance, but reduced tolerance at higher acid concentrations. The newest titanium grades, 26 (UNS R52404) and 27 (UNS R52254), are likely to match Grade 7 performance, but further trials are required.

Abstract Esso Resources Canada Limited's Redwater field experienced numerous polished rod failures due to pitting corrosion. Carbon steel, chromium plated and nickel plated steel, UNS #S43100 and UNS #S31600 stainless steel rods have been tried with mixed success. To select a more corrosion-resistant replacement, anodic polarization scans were performed on eleven materials to determine their corrosion, pitting, and protection potentials. Alloys UNS #8925 and UNS #31803 were chosen for field trials. Both alloys exhibited excellent corrosion resistance and extended run lives.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Upon installation of a typical thin film coating system, extensive dynamic cracking was discovered in concrete chemical secondary containment structures. After multiple failed attempts to repair cracks using standard coating products, the decision was made to proceed with equipment installation in hopes of maintaining schedule while the coating details could be evaluated. With this additional hurdle, the challenge was made to develop a coating system that delivered chemical resistance while acting as a “band aid” over the damaged concrete to provide 100% containment. After evaluating various options, a polyurea/geotextile liner was selected on a trial basis due to the system’s flexible and chemical resistant properties as well as the relatively swift installation time.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Historically, the Bureau of Reclamation observed coating service lives of 50 to 80 years when lining its water conveyance structures with coal tar enamel. Changes to regulations have largely eliminated coal tar enamel as a field coating option, and existing coal tar enamel is beginning to show signs of degradation or has already been repaired or recoated. Reclamation has been working to find an appropriate alternative to coal tar enamel. Elastomeric polyurethanes have superior flexibility and abrasion resistance, with expected service lives between 20 to 40 years. However, adhesion and delamination problems observed both in the laboratory and in the field currently render them unsuitable for most of Reclamation's needs. Rigid polyurethanes also have good flexibility and abrasion resistance, but develop blisters during application to the cold steel of buried pipes. Blisters develop as a result of the reduced reaction rate (curing) at the steel interface while the bulk material cures at higher temperatures. These blisters are explained by the heat sink phenomena, which occurs with fast set products. 100 percent solids epoxies are abrasion resistant, have good adhesion, but are usually brittle in nature. Reclamation has some field experience with 100 percent solids epoxies as penstock or outlet works linings, but have used them primarily for maintenance and repairs of coal tar enamel and elastomeric polyurethanes. The life expectancy of 100% solids epoxy is 15 to 30 years. Reclamation's coatings research is ongoing, but questions remain whether commercially available products can match the service life that coal tar enamel provided inside penstocks while suiting modern application technologies, methods, and logistical challenges.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This study explores the pitting susceptibility of Nitinol wires with blue oxide surfaces before processing into a vascular graft device, after processing, and explanted after in vivo exposure during a clinical trial. Only two explanted devices were made available for testing. The blue oxide surfaces of the control specimens tended to perform poorly in a commonly performed cyclic polarization test intended to screen implantable devices for pitting susceptibility, however the explanted devices performed far better under the same test conditions. Electrochemical polarization, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, optical and scanning electron microscopies were performed on adjacent wire samples cut from selected specimens. It must be noted that some of the details of handling and storage for the explants from the time of removal to the time that they were provided for analysis are unknown. Many screening tests are intentionally aggressive, the goal being to provide an adequate safety margin for acceptability. Nonetheless, these results raise potential questions regarding the environmental parameters of the in vitro screening test and whether it is always a reliable indicator of in vivo performance.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Most Middle East oil and gas field operating companies specify cathodic protection (CP) to onshore wells to mitigate corrosion to the external surface of the steel well casings. The CP current requirements have been established through studies using casing potential/corrosion protection profile logs, E-Log I testing, and mathematical analysis. Modeling has been developed to simulate the circuit characteristics to achieve the predetermined well casings CP current criteria. This paper presents the applying of electrical circuit theorems to the analysis process to determine design acceptance criteria for design of an impressed current cathodic protection system for a single well casing. The mathematical formulas obtained from this work, are used to calculate the maximum allowable anode bed resistances, which avoids the “trial-and-error” steps necessary when using simulation software/ modeling. In addition, the process provides useful design parameters of the circuit model, such as the voltage capacity of the DC power supply to achieve the required CP current to the well casing. The process discussed in this paper incorporates Superposition, Substitution, Reciprocity, Thevenin, and Millman electrical circuit theorems with typical CP modeling programs. Circuit parameters, including resistance-to-remote earth of anode beds, cable resistance, resistance-to-remote earth of casing and flowline, and back EMF of the U/G structures associated with the well, are considered in the process. This paper does not address circuit theory for designing cathodic protection systems for multiple well casings, which will need to be developed to complement this work.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Due to the cold climate and environmental requirements of Alaska’s North Slope and Western Canada’s oil production areas, line pipe steels intended for use in these areas must display not only high strength as required, but superior toughness. Additionally, if the line pipe is to be used in aggressive sour gas (i.e. H2S containing) environments it must also have excellent resistance to hydrogen induced cracking (HIC). Such a steel has been designed, through selective chemistry, clean steel-making practices, nonmetallic inclusion control, and hot mill process control, that is capable of meeting stringent line pipe specifications covering X65 grade line pipe in Arctic service temperatures. This paper also examined the effect that hot rolling finishing temperature had on notch toughness. Steel-making knowledge developed for lower strength, HIC resistant X52 grade steel has been employed for the development of a X65 grade steel. Results of trial heats will be presented.

Full textAbstract:
Poliomyelitis (polio) remains a vital global public health challenge, particularly in countries where eradication efforts are ongoing. For almost three decades, polio programme and frontline workers in Pakistan have suffered human and financial losses due to complex political and bureaucratic management, local resistance to programme efforts, and the context of cross-border insurgency and insecurity.1 Many stakeholders in Pakistan continue to have low confidence in frontline workers and polio vaccination campaigns. In this environment, it is essential that vaccination programmes localise – by taking careful account of the local context, improving local ownership of the programmes, understanding and mitigating the issues at a grassroots level, and tailoring efforts to achieve polio eradication goals. This brief draws on evidence from academic and grey literature, data on polio vaccine uptake, consultations with partners working on polio eradication in Pakistan, and the authors’ own programme implementation experience in the country. The brief reviews the social, cultural, and contextual considerations relevant to increasing polio vaccine uptake amongst vulnerable groups in Pakistan’s tribal areas. It focuses on the current country context, in the aftermath of the 2018 merger of the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (KPK). This brief is part of a series authored by participants from the SSHAP Fellowship, and was written by Luqman Hakeem and Riaz Hussain from Cohort 2. Contributions were provided by response partners in Pakistan including health communication and delivery staff and local administrative authorities. This brief was reviewed by Muhammad Sufyan (University of Swabi) and Ilyas Sharif (Quaid-e-Azam College of Commerce, University of Peshawar). The brief was supported by Megan Schmidt-Sane and Santiago Ripoll at the Institute of Development Studies and is the responsibility of SSHAP.

A grafting program for creation of beech bark disease-resistant American beech (Fagus grandifolia) has been established in a cooperative agreement between Michigan Technological University and the National Park Service (NPS). The resistant trees are being used in a restoration project at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. This report provides an overview of the methods for propagation and planting of American beech, with suggestions for refinements including a forest planting trial. Rates of resistance are quantified for target NPS properties based on survey methods. Resistant trees were located and confirmed through field challenge tests to serve as scion donors for grafting. Resistant tree locations and conditions are not presented to maintain security of valuable individuals but are maintained by each property and revisited annually. This report will be used to inform continuing work towards restoring and preserving American beech in the landscape within NPS properties.

Full textAbstract:
The long term goal of this research project was to improve control efficiency of Alternaria diseases while reducing fungicide use, by integration of chemical and non-chemical factors. Non-chemical factors were genotype resistance, age-related resistance and fertilizers. The Specific objectives were: 1) To quantify changes in resistance among genotypes and over time in terms of disease development and specific phases of the disease cycle; 2) To quantify the effects of fertilizers applied to the foliage alone, or in combination with a fungicide, on disease development; 3) To quantify the relative contribution of genotype resistance, age-related resistance and fungicide type to the reduction of disease development; 4) To develop a strategy for integration of chemical and non-chemical factors which will achieve optimal disease suppression. The influence of physiological age of cotton plants and of the individual leaves, on disease incidence and on the rate of lesion expansion of A. macrospora was examined on leaves sampled from the field. Both parameters increased with the physiological age of individual leaves but were not affected by the age of the whole plant. The hypothesis that enrichment of the foliage with nitrogen and potassium may enhance host resistance to Alternaria and thus reduce disease severity, was examined for potato and tomato (A. solani ) and for cotton (A. macrospora ). Under controlled environment conditions, application of urea or KNO3 resulted in some reduction in disease development; however, foliar application of both nutrients (8-10 sprays in total) did not affect Alternaria severity in the field. Systemic fungicides against Alternaria (e.g. , tebuconazole and difenoconazole) are more effective than the commonly used protectant fungicides (e.g. mancozeb and chlorothalonil). Concepts for the integration of genotype resistance, age-related resistances and fungicide for the suppression of Alternaria diseases were developed and evaluated. It was found that reduction in host resistance, with age and among genotypes, can be compensated for by adjusting the intensity of fungicide applications, i.e. by increasing the frequency of sprays and by spraying systemic fungicides towards the end of the season. In, moderately resistant cultivars protection can be achieved by spraying at longer intervals than susceptible cultivars. The concepts for integration were evaluated in field trials for cotton, potatoes and tomatoes. By following these concepts it was possible to save up to five sprays out of 8-10 in a growing season.

Review question / Objective: After successful treatment with ADT, most patients with advanced disease eventually develop resistance and progress to castration-resistant PCa (CRPC), which remains an incurable disease.Low survival and high mortality of PCa are associated with the appearance of CRPC and subsequent metastatic disease. To advance the fight against PCa, it is necessary to continue basic and clinical research to improve testing, prevention and treatment practices. However, under current treatments, prevention should be seen as a basic strategy to reduce PCa morbidity and mortality. Epidemiological studies have shown that a healthy diet may significantly affect the occurrence and progression of prostate cancer. After promising preclinical testing, several natural compounds have been evaluated in the clinic. In this study, we compared data from clinical trials on several natural chemopreventive drugs as well as chemopreventive agents that have been tested for PCa chemoprevention. Provides some grounding support for preventing the progression of prostate cancer.

Full textAbstract:
The overall objective of this research was to elucidate the horticultural, pathological, physiological and molecular factors impacting melon varieties (scion) grafted onto M. cannonballus resistant melon and squash rootstocks. Specific objectives were- to compare the performance of resistant melon germplasm (grafted and non-grafted) when exposed to M. cannoballus in the Lower Rio Grande valley and the Wintergarden, Texas, and in the Arava valley, Israel; to address inter-species relationships between a Monosporascus resistant melon rootstock and susceptible melon scions in terms of fruit-set, fruit quality and yield; to study the factors which determine the compatibility between the rootstock and the scion in melon; to compare the responses of graft unions of differing compatibilities under disease stress, high temperatures, deficit irrigation, and salinity stress; and to investigate the effect of rootstock on stress related gene expression in the scion. Some revisions were- to include watermelon in the Texas investigations since it is much more economically important to the state, and also to evaluate additional vine decline pathogens Didymella bryoniae and Macrophomina phaseolina. Current strategies for managing vine decline rely heavily on soil fumigation with methyl bromide, but restrictions on its use have increased the need for alternative management strategies. Grafting of commercial melon varieties onto resistant rootstocks with vigorous root systems is an alternative to methyl bromide for Monosporascus root rot/vine decline (MRR/VD) management in melon production. Extensive selection and breeding has already produced potential melon rootstock lines with vigorous root systems and disease resistance. Melons can also be grafted onto Cucurbita spp., providing nonspecific but efficient protection from a wide range of soil-borne diseases and against some abiotic stresses, but compatibility between the scion and the rootstock can be problematic. During the first year experiments to evaluate resistance to the vine decline pathogens Monosporascus cannonballus, Didymella bryoniae, and Macrophomina phaseolina in melon and squash rootstocks proved the efficacy of these grafted plants in improving yield and quality. Sugars and fruit size were better in grafted versus non-grafted plants in both Texas and Israel. Two melons (1207 and 124104) and one pumpkin, Tetsukabuto, were identified as the best candidate rootstocks in Texas field trials, while in Israel, the pumpkin rootstock RS59 performed best. Additionally, three hybrid melon rootstocks demonstrated excellent resistance to both M. cannonballus and D. bryoniae in inoculated tests, suggesting that further screening for fruit quality and yield should be conducted. Experiments with ABA in Uvalde demonstrated a significant increase in drought stress tolerance and concurrent reduction in transplant shock due to reduced transpiration for ‘Caravelle’ plants. In Israel, auxin was implicated in reducing root development and contributing to increased hydrogen peroxide, which may explain incompatibility reactions with some squash rootstocks. However, trellised plants responded favorably to auxin (NAA) application at the time of fruit development. Gene expression analyses in Israel identified several cDNAs which may code for phloem related proteins, cyclins or other factors which impact the graft compatibility. Manipulation of these genes by transformation or traditional breeding may lead to improved rootstock cultivars. Commercial applications of the new melon rootstocks as well as the ABA and TIBA growth regulators have potential to improve the success of grafted melons in both Israel and Texas. The disease resistance, fruit quality and yield data generated by the field trials will help producers in both locations to decide what rootstock/scion combinations will be best.
