The birefringence of the elliptical core photonic crystal fiber with circular pores in the cladding has been studied by using higher order Mathieu functions. It is observed that the birefringence decreases with decreasing wavelength. Calculated results also indicate the sensitivity to the radius of the pores in the cladding. High birefringence up to 0.0079 is obtained. The efficacy of this proposed method is proved by comparing the results. OCIS codes: 060.2310, 060.2400.

- Abstract
Lifestyle factors are responsible for a considerable portion of cancer incidence worldwide, but credible estimates from the World Health Organization and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) suggest that the fraction of cancers attributable to toxic environmental exposures is between 7% and 19%. To explore the hypothesis that low-dose exposures to mixtures of chemicals in the environment may be combining to contribute to environmental carcinogenesis, we reviewed 11 hallmark phenotypes of cancer, multiple priority target sites for disruption in each area and prototypical chemical disruptors for all targets, this included dose-response characterizations, evidence of low-dose effects and cross-hallmark effects for all targets and chemicals. In total, 85 examples of chemicals were reviewed for actions on key pathways/ mechanisms related to carcinogenesis. Only 15% (13/85) were found to have evidence of a dose-response threshold, whereas 59% (50/85) exerted low-dose effects. No dose-response information was found for the remaining 26% (22/85). Our analysis suggests that the cumulative effects of individual (non-carcinogenic) chemicals acting on different pathways, and a variety of related systems, organs, tissues and cells could plausibly conspire to produce carcinogenic synergies. Additional basic research on carcinogenesis and research focused on low-dose effects of chemical mixtures needs to be rigorously pursued before the merits of this hypothesis can be further advanced. However, the structure of the World Health Organization International Programme on Chemical Safety 'Mode of Action' framework should be revisited as it has inherent weaknesses that are not fully aligned with our current understanding of cancer biology. © The Author 2015.

16. Hysteresis Compensation in Piezo-Actuator

Sinha, R.K. (author) and Sinha, R.K. (author)
- Abstract
To meet the ever increasing demands for the linearization of the nonlinear plant various techniques have been proposed. Out of the possible approaches disturbance observer based techniques is very popular in industrial application due to its simple implementation and high accuracy. However, the linear disturbance observer based technique is limited upto a certain frequency which in-turn is defined by the fundamental limitation of the linear control techniques. In this work a novel generalization of second order reset element is proposed with application in improving the performance of the disturbance observer (DOB) based compensation scheme. To this end, two new configurations are proposed for the improvement of the linear DOB. In the first configuration a new nonlinear low-passing filter has been proposed with similar gain as a linear filter but with much less phase lag which results in improved performance of the linear DOB. In the second configuration a new implementation of the combination of the linear DOB with the reset elements is proposed which results in minimization of sensitivity of the complete closed loop. Eventually, the effectiveness of the proposed architectures is proven on a practical setup of a PiezoActuator, which is well known to have a dominant hysteretic nonlinearity in voltage to displacement relation. The disturbance observer based compensation scheme has wide domain of applications extending from input/output disturbance rejection, eliminating unmodelled dynamics to the compensation of bounded nonlinearities. So, with the proposed improvement to the linear DOB the performance of a number of application where DOBs are currently being used, can be improved and at the same time new application areas for DOB also opens up., Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering, Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME)

Physics::Optics - Abstract
The effects of the slow-down factor on third-order nonlinear effects in silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal channel waveguides were investigated. In the slow light regime, with a group index equal to 99, these nonlinear effects are enhanced but the enhancement produced depends on the input peak power level. Simulations indicate the possibility of soliton-like propagation of 1 ps pulses at an input peak power level of 50 mW inside such a photonic crystal waveguide. The increase in the induced phase shift produced by lower group velocities can be used to decrease the size and power requirements needed to operate devices such as optical switches, logic gates, and wavelength translators.

- Abstract
Despite the reports of the occurrence of perfluorochemicals (PFCs) in industrialized nations, information on PFCs in less industrialized countries is meager. In the present study, concentrations and profiles of PFCs were investigated in surface waters (rivers, lakes, coastal seas and untreated sewage; n = 42) including the Ganges River water, and biota such as shrimp (n = 2), fish (n = 28), and Ganges River dolphin (Platanista gangetica; n = 15). PFOS was the dominant PFC found in most of the samples analyzed including water samples except untreated sewage (water: <0.04–3.91 ng L sup(-1); biota: 0.248–27.9 ng g sup(-1) ww). Long-chain (C11–C18) perfluorocarboxylates (PFCAs) were not detected in the water samples (<0.2 ng L sup(-1)), although PFDA (0.061–0.923 ng g sup(-1) ww) and PFUnDA (0.072–0.998 ng g sup(-1) ww) were found in biological samples. The arithmetic mean PFOS concentration found in the liver of Ganges River dolphin was 27.9 ng g sup(-1) ww. Bioconcentration and biomagnifications factors of PFCs were estimated in the Ganges River basin food web. The highest concentration of PFOA, 23.1 ng L sup(-1), was found in untreated sewage samples. Overall, concentrations of PFCs of water and biological samples from India are lower than the concentrations reported for other countries so far. PFC profiles in Indian waters are dominated by PFOS, followed by PFOA, which is different from the pattern reported for other countries such as Korea, Japan and USA, where PFOA was the predominant compound in waters. The flux estimates for PFOS, PFOA and PFNA from the Ganges River in India to the Bay of Bengal were in the range of several hundreds of kilograms per year

- Abstract
Ansys software has been used in dynamic finite element analysis for the prediction of blast-induced ground vibration resulting from surface blasting. Ground vibration for 20 single hole blasts was monitored at an open cast coal mine in the Jharia coalfield, India. The density of emulsion explosives was in the range of 0.9 to 1.15 g/cc. Rock properties were determined in the laboratory from samples collected prior to blasting. The in-hole velocity of detonation and the density of the emulsion explosive were used in the dynamic finite element model to predict ground vibrations at specified points. The results of predicted ground vibrations were similar to, but slightly higher than, the actual values seen at the site. It is concluded that the dynamic finite element model can be used for the prediction of vibration, and the subsequent risk to surface structures. The method was found to be more suitable for use at shorter distances from the blast., Ansys software has been used in dynamic finite element analysis for the prediction of blast-induced ground vibration resulting from surface blasting.

- Abstract
The production is described of aluminosilicate refractories with the same nominal composition of 50% Al2O3 but different microstructures for use in anode baking furnaces in Al metallurgy and in chlorinators for manufacturing TiO2 by the chloride process, respectively. Test bricks developed to resist the chemical environment in anode baking furnaces consisted mainly of crystalline phase mullite, corundum and some cristobalite, with the glassy phase less than 15%. Bricks for chlorinators have a microstructure with maximum mullite phase content and all pores filled with a glassy phase of appropriate composition. This requires relatively high firing temperatures., The production is described of aluminosilicate refractories with the same nominal composition of 50% Al2O3 but different microstructures for use in anode baking furnaces in Al metallurgy and in chlorinators for manufacturing TiO2 by the chloride process, respectively.

Goodson, William H. et al., © The Author 2015. Lifestyle factors are responsible for a considerable portion of cancer incidence worldwide, but credible estimates from the World Health Organization and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) suggest that the fraction of cancers attributable to toxic environmental exposures is between 7% and 19%. To explore the hypothesis that low-dose exposures to mixtures of chemicals in the environment may be combining to contribute to environmental carcinogenesis, we reviewed 11 hallmark phenotypes of cancer, multiple priority target sites for disruption in each area and prototypical chemical disruptors for all targets, this included dose-response characterizations, evidence of low-dose effects and cross-hallmark effects for all targets and chemicals. In total, 85 examples of chemicals were reviewed for actions on key pathways/ mechanisms related to carcinogenesis. Only 15% (13/85) were found to have evidence of a dose-response threshold, whereas 59% (50/85) exerted low-dose effects. No dose-response information was found for the remaining 26% (22/85). Our analysis suggests that the cumulative effects of individual (non-carcinogenic) chemicals acting on different pathways, and a variety of related systems, organs, tissues and cells could plausibly conspire to produce carcinogenic synergies. Additional basic research on carcinogenesis and research focused on low-dose effects of chemical mixtures needs to be rigorously pursued before the merits of this hypothesis can be further advanced. However, the structure of the World Health Organization International Programme on Chemical Safety 'Mode of Action' framework should be revisited as it has inherent weaknesses that are not fully aligned with our current understanding of cancer biology., We gratefully acknowledge the support of the National Institute of Health-National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) conference grant travel support (R13ES023276); Glenn Rice, Office of Research and Development, United States Environmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati, OH, USA also deserves thanks for his thoughtful feedback and inputs on the manuscript; William H.Goodson III was supported by the California Breast Cancer Research Program, Clarence Heller Foundation and California Pacific Medical Center Foundation; Abdul M.Ali would like to acknowledge the financial support of the University of Sultan Zainal Abidin, Malaysia; Ahmed Lasfar was supported by an award from the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey; Ann-Karin Olsen and Gunnar Brunborg were supported by the Research Council of Norway (RCN) through its Centres of Excellence funding scheme (223268/F50), Amancio Carnero’s lab was supported by grants from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitivity, ISCIII (Fis: PI12/00137, RTICC: RD12/0036/0028) co-funded by FEDER from Regional Development European Funds (European Union), Consejeria de Ciencia e Innovacion (CTS-1848) and Consejeria de Salud of the Junta de Andalucia (PI-0306-2012); Matilde E.
