The Reinstallation of the Second Largest Aksumite Stela
This article deals with the archaeological impact assessment carried out at the town of Aksum in the 1990s by David Phillipson and the Ethiopian archaeologists at the original location of the second largest Aksumite stela before its return from Rome and the result of its reinstallation on its original location in 2008. The author was an assistant excavation supervisor in the large-scale archaeological excavations conducted at the original location of stela 2 in 1997 under the direction of Pro..
Thermal aspects of STELA (sustainable thermally enhanced LNAPL attenuation)
2013 Fall.Includes bibliographical references.Extensive bodies of light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) are commonly found beneath petroleum facilities. Related concerns include lateral spreading of LNAPL, impacts to groundwater, and impacts to indoor air. Recent studies have shown that natural losses of LNAPL can be on the order of thousands of gallons per acre per year and temperature is a primary factor controlling rates of natural losses. Results of the laboratory and field experiments suggest that LNAPL impacted media in the range of 18-300C can have loss rates that are an order of magnitude greater than media at temperatures less than 18ºC. The vision that has emerged from recent work is that passive thermal management strategies could enhance natural losses of LNAPL and significantly reduce the longevity of LNAPL. Owing to this new understanding, plans were developed for a small-scale field demonstration of sustainable thermally enhanced LNAPL attenuation (STELA) at a former refinery in Wyoming, located adjacent to the North Platte River. The overarching objective of the STELA initiative is to develop a new technology for LNAPLs that is more effective, faster, more sustainable, and/or lower cost than current options. The primary objective of the field demonstration is to collect data needed to evaluate cost and performance at field sites. In November 2011, seventeen multilevel sampling systems were installed in a 10m by 10m area. Preheating temperature and water quality data were collected through the multilevel samplers over a period of 10 months. In August 2012, ten heating elements, including submersible heat trace wires wrapped around 7.6 cm ID PVC pipe with thermostat controls, were installed upgradient of the sampling network to deliver heat to sustain subsurface temperature in an LNAPL body. The heating elements were energized in September 2012. Subsequently, effects of the heating elements on the subsurface temperature were monitored using 17 multilevel sampling systems equipped with 6 thermocouples for 10 months. Preheating data indicates that in the absence of heating, subsurface temperatures are in the range of 18-30°C for 40 days per year. Data collected from September 2012 to July 2013 indicates that with heating, conditions can be maintained in the target range for 60 to 200 days per year depending upon proximity to the heat source. A principle challenge is heat loss to the surface in the winter. Minimum and maximum power inputs have been 15 kw-hr/day and 30 kw-hr/day occurring, respectively in October and May. Assuming an energy cost of 0.10 kw-hr, this equates to costs of 1.5 /day. An independent experiment using Geo-net layer showed that using Gas Permeable Insulation/Heat Sink (GPIHS) system has the potential to enhance the ability of the heating system to sustain temperature beneath the ground surface, and, potentially decrease the power costs. A primary challenge with evaluation and design of STELA systems is anticipating the appropriate spacing of heating elements and necessary energy inputs. Herein this challenge is met by developing a model, calibrated to field data, which can be used to design a full-scale STELA remedies. The overarching objective of the modeling is to demonstrate methods that can be employ to evaluate and/or design full-scale STELA systems. At 5m downgradient of the heating elements, the developed model, accurately, predicted 60 days of the effective season in 2012. Also, the simulation results anticipate that by keeping the heating system activated for three years, the effective season will increase each year. At 5m downgradient of the heating elements, model results suggested 120 days and 150 days of effective season for 2013 and 2014, respectively as compared to 60 days in the first year. The ability of the model to anticipate the effective season for the next years makes the model a useful tool to design and evaluate the future STELA systems. Calibration of the model to the field data shows that exothermic reactions associated with LNAPL losses can change the heat distribution at the system. In addition, the simulation results indicate that the losses at the subsurface are in the range of 5,000 to 10,000gal/acre/yr. These anticipated loss rates are consistent with the previous values reported by McCoy (2012) in 2012 (~900-11,000gal/acre/yr.) A conceptual STELA design is developed in the last chapter to explore the cost of a STELA system at a 1-hectare site. The design is based on condition at the former refinery in Wyoming where the STELA field demonstration was conducted. The cost analysis study indicated that the primary cost is the heating elements installation. The second significant cost is the operation costs, and the third significant cost that can be reduced is the energy source. The cost estimates normalized to common units indicated that the total cost ranges between 720,000 per hectare, 14.4 per cubic meter of treated soil, and 1.5 liter of LNAPL removed depends on the energy source, heating system and the degradation rate. Cost of this magnitude support the hypothesis that STELA has the potential to have cost that is lower than other options employed for LNAPL remediation

Stela do Patrocínio: weaving a split figure of herself
Neste trabalho, buscamos analisar fragmentos do “falatório” de Stela do Patrocínio, narradora de Reino dos bichos e dos animais é o meu nome (2001), discutindo a especificidade do seu modo de abordar os afetos que a atravessavam. Vislumbramos, antes de tudo, apresentar e difundir as palavras, o legado de Stela, uma mulher simultaneamente única e plural. O seu valor recobre a existência de várias mulheres negras que, como ela, findaram “quebrando” mediante a um sistema racista que ceifa a saúde da população negra historicamente. Mesmo em condições insalubres, a sua intelectualidade, notável no olhar crítico que lançava à sociedade e suas instituições, irrompia insurgentemente. Para a feitura do trabalho, partimos do método da colcha de retalhos (hooks, 2019), entrelaçando diversos trechos da obra em foco às considerações de Grada Kilomba (2019), Beatriz Nascimento (1989), Audre Lorde (2019) e bell hooks (2019). Dessa maneira, organizamos este artigo em três partes: em um primeiro momento, apresentamos a autora e o contexto de produção do corpus em análise; na sequência, discutimos sobre a perda e busca da imagem no falatório de Stela do Patrocínio e, por fim, abordamos a relação entre quimeras narrativas (CYRULNIK, 2009) e banzo (NUNES, 2019) no discurso da narradora.In this work, we analyze fragments of Stela do Patrocínio\u27s “falatório”, the narrator of Reino dos bichos e dos animais é o meu nome (2001), discussing the specificity of his way of approaching the affects that went through it. We envision presenting and spreading the words, the legacy, of Stela, a woman simultaneously unique and plural. Its value covers the existence of several black women who, like her, ended up "breaking" through a racist system that has reaped the health of the black population historically. Even in unsanitary conditions, his intellectuality, notable in the critical eye she cast on society and its institutions, broke out insurgently. We started this article with the patchwork quilt method (hooks, 2019), interweaving several parts of the work in focus to the considerations of Grada Kilomba, Beatriz Nascimento, Audre Lorde and bell hooks. Thus, we organized this article in three parts: in a first moment, we present the author and the context of production of the corpus under analysis; next, we discussed the loss and search for the image in the talk of Stela do Patrocínio and, finally, we approached the relationship between narrative chimeras (CYRULNIK, 2009) and banzo (NUNES, 2019) in the narrator\u27s discourse

Medicină Internă, USMF Nicolae TestemițanuNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects up to a third of the population worldwide and may confer increased cardiometabolic risk with consequent adverse cardiovascular outcomes independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and the metabolic syndrome. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are still the number one cause of death globally. NAFLD is a marker of pathological ectopic fat accumulation combined with a low-grade chronic inflammatory state. This disease leads to pathophysiological processes including abnormal glucose, fatty acid and lipoprotein metabolism, increased oxidative stress, deranged adipokine profile, hypercoagulability, endothelial dysfunction, and accelerated progression of atherosclerosis. Thus, atherosclerosis induces to a dysfunctional cardiometabolic phenotype with cardiovascular mortality representing the main mode of premature death in NAFLD. Novel biomarkers like gamma-glutamyltransferase, hemoglobin level, serum bilirubin and uric acid have been associated with risk of cardiovascular events in NAFLD. The understanding of relation between these markers, NAFLD and CVD could lead to better stratification of patients with high CV risk.Безалкогольная жировая болезнь печени (БАЖБП) поражает более трети населения в мире. БАЖБП может увеличивать риски развития кардиоваскулярной патологии, с последующими неблагоприятными сердечно-сосудистыми исходами, независимо от наличия традиционных факторов сердечно-сосудистого риска и метаболического синдрома. Сердечно-сосудистые заболевания (ССЗ) по-прежнему являются основной причиной смерти во всем мире. Патогенное накопление эктопического жира и состояние невыраженного хронического воспал ения характерны для БАЖБП. Это заболевание появляется благодаря патологическому метаболизму глюкозы, жирных кислот и липопротеинов, повышению оксидативного стресса, гиперкоагуляции, эндотелиальной дисфункции, а также ускорению прогрессирования атеросклероза. Таким образом, атеросклероз приводит к формированию дисфункционального кардиометаболического фенотипа, что определяет сердечно-сосудистую смертность, являющуюся основной причиной преждевременной смерти при в БАЖБП. Новые биомаркеры, такие как гаммаглутамилтрансфераза, гемоглобин, сывороточный билирубин и мочевая кислота ассоциированы с риском сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний при БАЖБП. Понимание взаимосвязи между этими маркерами, БАЖБП и ССЗ может привести к улучшению выявления пациентов с высоким риском сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний
