(Invited) Engineering Polypeptides for Controlled Assembly of Ionomer Thin Films

Increasing evidence suggests that control of ionomer thin film structures on metal surfaces is pivotal for efficient performance in electrochemical devices such as fuel cells and electrolyzers. Unfortunately, the assembly of these thin film structures is difficult to control using conventional methods and ideal arrangements remain unknown. Engineered polypeptides have emerged as powerful biomolecular tools in electrode assembly because binding sites and polypeptide structures can be easily modulated by changing the amino acid sequence. However, no studies have been conducted showing polypeptides can be engineered to interact with ionomers, attach them to metal surfaces, and control their arrangement. Our lab has recently developed this technology, using an elastin-like polypeptide to bind to metals, and bind to acidic and basic ionomer via ionic interactions. We use a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation to provide detailed information about the loading, thickness, and binding behavior of the polypeptide and ionomer layers. We also use atomic force microscopy and grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering to understand the impact of the biomolecules on ionomer phase separation. Finally, we have begun to analyze the performance (ionic conductivity) of the assembled films using interdigitated electrodes and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Through these techniques, we show that 1) our biomolecular system is highly flexible, easily adapting to different materials, 2) the polypeptide sequence can dictate ionomer phase separated structures, and 3) this system can be used to improve the performance of ionomer thin films and gain structure-function understanding. Generally, our results demonstrate that engineered polypeptides are promising tools for ionomer control in electrode engineering.

Influence of intra-yarn flows on whole 3D woven fabric numerical permeability: from Stokes to Stokes-Darcy simulations

2D and 3D numerical permeability of fibrous media are studied based on Stokes and Stokes-Darcy flows simulated by a Finite Element Modelling (FEM). A monolithic approach stabilised by an Algebraic Sub-Grid Scale (ASGS) method and implemented in a FEM software (Z-set) is used. The 2D geometries have been generated according to ideal arrangements and 3D geometry are representative of a highly anisotropic ply-to-ply interlock unit cell. For both geometries, yarns have been first considered as impermeable, and then the same calculations have been conducted with various intra-yarn permeabilities. The main novelty of this work is to address the dual-scale permeability problem with a Stokes-Darcy modelling so as to override numerical strategy robustness issues. An empirical law has been proposed to link the effective permeability to the intra-yarn one : this allows to generalise previously established results to real 3D materials with complex structures. An intra-yarn permeability threshold (asymptotic value) from which yarns can be considered impermeable has also been highlighted. This study underlines the importance of unit cell definition when it comes to computing permeability of 3D structures numerically generated, especially non-periodicity issues. Two methods to decrease the impact of preferential flows are then discussed.

A Critical Analysis of Social Justice as the Basis of Policy Making in the Light of Arguments by Amartya Sen

In his book ‘The Idea of Justice’, Amartya Sen has critically examined the established theories of ‘justice’ and forwards his own views about the concept of social justice. As per Sen, injustices in the society need to be evaluated by way of reasoning and reasoned justifications (plural grounding). Only based on such reasoned diagnosis of what causes social injustice, policy measures can be adopted to reduce injustice and advancing justice. Sen has strongly argued against transcendental institutionalism line of reasoning (Locke, Rousseau, Kant, Rawls) as there cannot be one perfectly just social arrangement. He, therefore, discards transcendental proposition of a set of right institutions which would, by default, bring social justice. As per him it is neither necessary nor sufficient for a workable theory of justice. He rather preferred realisation-focussed comparisons of justice (Adam Smith, Marx, J. S. Mill, Condorcet) as it is based on social realisations resulting from actual institutions, actual behaviour and other influences. The focus of the later approach is primarily in the removal of manifest injustice from the society rather than identification of ideal social arrangements and choice of ideal institutions. Sen has drawn analogy for an argument-based public reasoning on rankings of alternatives that can be realised. This is central to the analytical discipline of ‘social choice theory’ conceptualised by Condorcet and further developed by Kenneth Arrow in the middle of the twentieth century. Sen has constructed his own argument further on the social choice theory by way of focussing on an accomplishment-based understanding of justice which is based on freedom and capabilities of individuals. This paper would attempt to bring out the rationale behind arguments put forward by Sen and its implications in the context of Indian public policy making, in general.

Providing noncontingent, alternative, functional reinforcers during delays following functional communication training.

Functional Communication Training (FCT) involves arranging extinction for problem behavior and reinforcement for a more desirable, functionally equivalent, communicative response (FCR). Although effective under ideal arrangements, the introduction of delays to reinforcement following the FCR can result in increased problem behavior. Austin and Tiger (2015) showed that for individuals whose problem behavior was sensitive to multiple sources of reinforcement, providing access to alternative, functional reinforcers during delays mitigated this increase in problem behavior during delay fading. The current study replicated the procedures of Austin and Tiger with 2 individuals displaying multiply controlled problem behavior. Providing alternative functional reinforcers reduced problem behavior during 10-min delays for both participants without requiring delay fading.

The Tutte polynomial of ideal arrangements

The Tutte polynomial was originally a bivariate polynomial enumerating the colorings of a graph and of its dual graph. But it reveals more of the internal structure of the graph like its number of forests, of spanning subgraphs, and of acyclic orientations. In 2007, Ardila extended the notion of Tutte polynomial to hyperplane arrangements, and computed the Tutte polynomials of the classical root systems for certain prime powers of the first variable at the same time. In this paper, we compute the Tutte polynomial of ideal arrangements. These arrangements were introduced in 2006 by Sommers and Tymoczko, and are defined for ideals of root systems. For the ideals of classical root systems, we bring a slight improvement of the finite field method by showing that it can applied on any finite field whose cardinality is not a minor of the matrix associated to the studied hyperplane arrangement. Computing the minor set associated to an ideal of classical root systems particularly permits us to deduce the Tutte polynomials of the classical root systems. For the ideals of the exceptional root systems of type [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], we use the formula of Crapo.

Analysis on Research Methods in Bigdata Applications

Big data is a conspicuous term which describes the improvement and accessibility of data in each of the three organizations like structure, unstructured, and semi designs. Structure data is situated in a fixed field of a record or document, and it is available in the social databases and accounting pages while an unstructured data record incorporates text and interactive media substance. The essential target of this big data idea is to depict the outrageous volume of data sets, for example, both organized and unstructured. It is additionally characterized by three V measurements, in particular Volume, Velocity and Variety, and two more V likewise added, for example, Value and Veracity. Volume means the size of data, and velocity relies on the speed of the data handling. Variety is portrayed with the sorts of data, value, which determines the business value, and veracity depicts the nature of the data and data understandability. These days, big data has gotten interesting and liked research territories in the field of software engineering. Many open examination issues are accessible in big data, and great arrangements likewise been proposed by the analysts despite the fact that there is a requirement for the advancement of numerous new methods and calculations for big data investigation to get ideal arrangements.

Synthesis and RNA-Binding Properties of Extended Nucleobases for Triplex-Forming Peptide Nucleic Acids.

Triple-helix formation, using Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding of triplex-forming oligonucleotides, represents an attractive method for sequence-specific recognition of double-stranded nucleic acids. However, practical applications using triple-helix-forming oligonucleotides and their analogues are limited to long homopurine sequences. The key problem for recognition of pyrimidines is that they present only one hydrogen-bond acceptor or donor group in the major groove. Herein, we report our first attempt to overcome this problem by using peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) modified with extended nucleobases that form three hydrogen bonds along the entire Hoogsteen edge of the Watson-Crick base pair. New nucleobase triples (five) were designed, and their hydrogen bonding feasibility was confirmed by ab initio calculations. PNA monomers carrying the modified nucleobases were synthesized and incorporated in short model PNA sequences. Isothermal titration calorimetry showed that these nucleobases had a modest binding affinity for their double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) targets. Finally, molecular modeling of the modified triples in PNA-dsRNA helix suggested that the modest binding affinity was caused by subtle structural deviations from ideal hydrogen-bonding arrangements or disrupted π-stacking of the extended nucleobase scaffolds.

The Arrangement of Investment Policy for the Protection of Indigenous Peoples’ Rights

The investment law policies have a positive influence on the interests and welfare of all Indonesian people. However, many legal problems arise due to overlapping regulations both at the central and regional government levels, and also in term of the implementation of decentralization. The results show that the arrangement of investment policy in West Papua against the recognition and respect for Papua indigenous peoples’ rights are still limited to universal policies. Nationally, the policy has not clearly revealed how the form of recognition and respect for the rights of indigenous peoples and/or Papuan indigenous peoples rights related to the presence of investments in West Papua. On a regional scale, the provincial government policy in the form of regional regulations, only covers the scope of investment in West Papua, but does not fully explain how the form of recognition and respect for Papua indigenous peoples related to investment. Hence, related with the alignment of Papua indigenous peoples’ rights in the field of ideal investment arrangements in West Papua was began with the concept of Bottom-up Development Planning, by involving indigenous peoples as a whole. This concept is based on the Optimum Suitable Yield (OSY) where the amount of natural resources that can be exploited must be based on calculations from various perspectives such as biology, economics, and even socio-political perspectives.

JURIDICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP REGULATION CONCERNING PARENTING BY BABYSITTER

<p>The need for childcare service is a phenomenon in households where parents can not function to nurture children on a full-time basis. Children, especially at the age of golden age, is an "asset" for the nation future because at that age the child absorbs and explores all the basic capabilities of the surrounding environment. Childcare services not only show people who are more mature to the child, but are also expected to be companions who can set a good example and provide a sense of security in meeting the basic needs of children. Childcare services performed by babysitters are ultimately established on the basis of employment relationships with the employer (in general the parents of the child). The working relationship has not been regulated in detailed legislation yet, there are only general guidelines and arrangements through the relevant Minister. For this purpose, the research focuses the problem on the legal policy regarding the working relationship between the babysitter and the employer, and analyzes the ideal arrangements for each party in the working relationship (including employment agencies) in order to create justice for each party. The purpose of this study is to be able to trace each legal policy and generate suggestions for the ideal arrangement in the working relationship that can create justice for every party involved.</p><p> </p>

State Role in Balancing Harmony in a Diversed Society: Regulating Religions in Indonesia

As a State in which its society believes in the existence of God, it is not a surprising fact that a number of religions developand recognized in Indonesia. These include Islam, Catholic, Protestan, Hindu, Budha and Konghucu. Since most of Indonesian people are the followers of Islam, this religuions become the majority in Indonesia. Certain matters are regulated separately from the national laws, so that such laws only applicable for muslim. These include arrangement on marriage between moslem, which is provided by Indonesian Act Number 1 Year 1974 on Marriage. Indonesia also has a specific religious court for moslem. The competence of religious court for moslem is clearly stipulated in Article 1 paragraph (1) of Act Number 50 Year 2009 on Religious Courts . Article 49 of the Act stipulates that the religious courts have the duty and authority to examine, decide, and resolve cases in the first instance am o ng M o slim in the field of marriage, inheritance, will, grant, waqaf, zakat, infaq, shadaqah and sari'ah economy. While some argues that the existance of religious court can be seen as Government failures in guarantee constitutional rights for minority, this paper seeks to find how to prevent potential religious disharmony in Indonesia. Based on the results of normative juridical research, it can be concluded that ideal arrangements related to religion is that it cannot separate the judiciary between Islam and other religions, because it might create possible sense of injustice and disharmony of minority religions. Thus, a specialized religious court for moslem might not be necessary.

For this we have built up the MATLAB content and contrasted the outcomes and the paper. A correlation of results got by BFO-PSO, GSA and TLBO is appeared in our work and half and half calculation enhanced the surface harshness by 13.07% for direct investigation. The entire examination is directed on the Al2O3 + SiC metal lattice composite.

Democratic Support and Cultural Values: An Empirical Study of Hong Kong and East Asian Societies

This article examines the possible negative impacts of two East Asian traditional values—the notion of paternalistic meritocracy and the instrumental perception of ideal political arrangements—on popular support for democracy in Hong Kong and East Asian societies. Based on data drawn from various surveys, East Asians are found to be quite attached to paternalistic meritocracy and democratic instrumentalism. Comparatively, Hong Kong people are less inclined to perceive democracy in a procedural way although they are less attached to paternalistic meritocracy. Regression analysis demonstrates a negative correlation between these two values, with a preference for democracy.

A Mathematical Study on “Additive Technique” Versus “Branch and Bound Technique” for Solving Binary Programming Problem

A solid body needs adequate supplements from nourishment that we eat each day. Eating pretty much than what our body needs will prompt lack of healthy sustenance (under-nourishment and over-nourishment). In Malaysia, a few reviews have been directed to examine the wholesome status of Malaysians, particularly among youngsters and youths. However there are different methods for taking care of the menu arranging issue and in this paper Binary Programming (BP) is executed. Separately, “Additive Technique (AT)” and “Branch and Bound Technique (BBT)” are utilized as a part of BP. Both methodologies utilize diverse systems and might yield distinctive ideal arrangements. Along these lines, this study expects to build up a scientific model for eating regimen arranging that meets the essential supplement admission and look at the outcomes yield through additive substance and branch and bound methodologies. The information was gathered from different all inclusive schools and furthermore from the Ministry of Education. The model was illuminated by utilizing the Balas Algorithm through AT and Binary Programming through BBT.

Legislative Pitfalls in Mandating Shared Parenting in Family Law Disputes: An Australian Experience

Family law in Australia has been governed by the Family Law Act (FLA) since 1976. The statute was significant in changing the law from fault-based to a no-fault regime of divorce and its consequences for child custody and property disputes. Since then the FLA has endured many amendments with legislators trying to keep the law aligned with their perception of community values. One important aspect of the FLA is that it requires judges deciding parenting disputes to make certain ‘considerations’ in line with articulated principles. In 2006 the Australian government amended the FLA by introducing two ‘objects and principles’ (then s.60B), which seemed innocuous: that children have ‘the benefit of both of their parents’ and that they be ‘protected from physical or psychological harm’. Arguably both principles responded to community concerns, although from opposing sources. The ‘men’s movement’ had complained for years that the Family Court was biased because it awarded child custody more often to mothers than to fathers in parenting disputes. On the other hand, the ‘women’s movement’ argued that children would be at risk if the Family Court favoured fathers over mothers because of the high incidence of domestic violence and child abuse at the hands of men. The two principles in s.60B were a political compromise and became known as the ‘twin pillars’ in Australian family law. The legislators had attempted to appease both lobby groups by requiring judges on the one hand to keep fathers involved in children’s lives and on the other hand to ensure children would be safe from violence. In a sense it was a marriage-of-opposites that was doomed to fail, and fail it did. The reason was that in many cases, judges seemed to interpret the amended Act to emphasise ‘shared parenting’, and without good evidence that the father posed a risk to the child, judges very often made orders in line with the first pillar, keeping the father involved in the life of the child. Ironically, in some of those cases the orders effectively exposed the child to violence through the father’s subsequent abuse and assaults on the mother, eg. at child handover or at negotiations about arrangements for the child. Legislators were forced to intercede again, to amend the statute further and this time to mandate judges to privilege the second pillar (no violence) over the first pillar (both parents to be involved). It is ironic that since 1976 the ‘paramount consideration’ has been the ‘best interests of the child’ – to which almost everyone agrees - while the challenge for legislators and judges has been how to interpret and apply that principle in the context of historically changing and culturally diverse social values about the meaning of family, parenting, and ideal child development arrangements. In attempting to shift the focus in disputes about children from ‘legal custody’ to ‘shared parenting’, legislators in Australia so far at least, have failed to reflect contemporary community attitudes, or provide leadership in accepting research-based, best practice policy in resolving parenting disputes.
