Autonomist leadership in leaderless movements: anarchists leading the way ∗

Autonomist Leadership is the name given to the non-hierarchical, informal and distributed forms of leadership found in emancipatory social movements, and, in particular, in networked social movements. This paper establishes how Autonomist Leadership has emerged from anarchist theory and practice, and thrives in the digital and physical networks of contemporary social movements, utilising mobile communications and digital platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. This paper situates Autonomist Leadership in the critical leadership literature and sets out five principles that make it a distinct form of leadership: Spontaneity, Autonomy, Mutuality, Affect and Networks. Autonomist Leadership is both enacted and, at the same time, disavowed by activists, which creates dissonance and internal tensions. The paper argues that activists’ affective attachments to the identity of being leaderless is a barrier to the development and agency of social movements. I conclude by arguing that by naming and acknowledging the Autonomist Leadership they have pioneered, activists can transcend the fantasy of being leaderless and develop beyond being protest movements to engage in social change with greater agency.
Learning from Ant Society in Optimizing Concrete Retaining Walls

In the present paper, lessons are learnt from ant society so that humankind can optimize his engineering issues. As an example of such issues, a reinforced concrete retaining wall for which the application of optimization can reduce the costs involved is considered. Traditional design procedure for reinforced concrete retaining walls is unable to design an optimized wall unless a large trial effort is undertaken. This paper introduces a learning procedure from ants, which is a general search technique for the solution of difficult combinatorial problems with its theoretical roots based on the foraging behavior of ants. This methodology arrives at an optimal design for concrete retaining walls due to its capability to explore and exploit the solution space effectively. The basis of analysis in this paper is to determine the minimum weight and costs in the design of concrete retaining walls following a computation of lateral total thrust on the wall due to backfill pressures, bearing capacity consideration, settlement analysis, stability analysis, and application of design of reinforced concrete principles. The results clearly indicate that ant colony can educate engineers comprehensively to reach a minimum cost justified retaining wall through an optimization approach.
X-ray emission from wind blown interstellar bubbles - IV. ROSAT HRI observations of NGC 6888

The interaction of fast stellar winds with the surrounding interstellar medium produces large amounts of hot X-ray emitting gas. Scarce previous observations indicated substantial differences between simple one-dimensional models and the data. We have obtained ROSAT images of several wind blown interstellar bubbles. In this first paper we present an X-ray map of the prototype ring nebula NGC 6888. Although we confirm previous total flux determinations and the possibility to reconcile these values with theory by introducing ionization non-equilibrium, our map demonstrates that the assumed geometry (a thick shell) is far from reality
Diagnostic value of copper parameters to predict growth of suckling calves grazing native range in Argentina

A study was conducted to evaluate the predictive diagnostic value of different copper (Cu) parameters as indicators of average daily gain (ADG) in growing calves. The effects in calves of cow Cu supplementation in the last one-third gestation period were also evaluated. Five supplementation trials, with a total of 300 calves, were carried out. Two groups of 30 calves were randomly assigned to each trial, one group was parenterally supplemented (SG) and the other was not supplemented (NSG). Trials began when calves were three-month-old and ended at weaning time. At each sampling calves were weighed and blood was taken to determine Cu concentrations in plasma, Whole Blood (WB), Red Cells (RC) and Packed Cell Volume (PCV). Liver samples from six animals of each group were taken both at the beginning and at the end of the trial. In two trials the mothers of the SG received Cu supplementation at the last one- third gestation period. Four of the five trials exhibited low ADG in the NSGs. In these groups, plasma Cu concentration decreased rapidly before low ADG was detected, which occurred with values remaining below 25µg/dl. The decrease of RC Cu concentration was considerably slow. WB showed an intermediate position. PCV in the SGs was higher than in the NSGs in all trials. Cow supplementation was insufficient to generate a liver storage able to last after calves reached the 3 months of age. These data could be useful to predict the risk of low ADG in grazing calves.
The Effect of Test Anxiety on Reading Comprehension in Second Grade Students

The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a correlation between test anxiety and reading comprehension on a standardized test in two heterogeneously grouped second grade classes. Also considered were the relationships of test anxiety and reading comprehension on educationally handicapped subjects and subjects with no handicapping condition and the differential effects of test anxiety on male and female subjects. Fifty-five second grade students from a small city school district in Western New York served as subjects for the study. Fifteen of the 55 subjects were classified as educationally handicapped. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills (I.T.B.S.) was administered to all the students. On the morning that the I.T. B.S. reading test was to be given, each student also completed the Test Anxiety Scale for Children (TASC). All questions of the TASC were read to the students so reading ability was not a factor. The Pearson Product Moment Method was used to determine if there was a relationship between test anxiety scores and reading comprehension. To determine if there was a significant difference between the reading comprehension scores for female subjects and for male subjects, a! _ test was used. The results of this study indicated there was no significant relationship between reading comprehension and test anxiety. There was also no significant difference between test anxiety for male subjects and test anxiety for female subjects. The data did reveal a significant difference between reading comprehension of subjects with a handicapping condition and subjects with no handicapping condition.
Improved PCR-RFLP Method For Her-2 Ile655val Breast Cancer Patients Detection

HER2 is a protein that is essential to the process of differentiation, proliferation, tissue development and other physiological processes. HER-2 overexpression was occurred in 20-30% of breast cancer patients. Targeted therapies was performed using trastuzumab, on the basis of the examination by immunohistochemistry. Single nucleotide polimorphisme (SNP) Ile655Val were found on HER-2, which indicates the risk of cancer as well as a predictive factor of treatment with targeted therapies. The method had been used for HER-2 SNP detection is using TaqMan method which is expensive, or PCR RFLP which is cheaper and easier. 148bp PCR product was widely used in PCR RFLP for HER-2 Ile655Val SNP detection confirmed at high concentration of agarose (3%). This study conducted to improve the PCR RFLP methods become more economical and more efficient by increasing the size of the PCR products confirmed with low concentration of agarose which have lower prices. The results showed that PCR RFLP method developed in this study, 480bp PCR product restricted with Bsm AI confirmed with 2% agarose, has been successfully performed with more economist and a high level of reproducibility.
Profile characteristics of farmers practicing selected farming systems in Mandya district, Karnataka

The study was carried out in Mandya district of Karnataka state, to study profile characteristics. Three taluks were selected for study based on the dominance of three farming systems i.e., a) Paddy + Sugar cane + Dairy (farming system-I) b) Ragi + Tomato + Coconut + Agro-forestry (farming system-II) c) Ragi + Dairy (farming system-III), which were selected by preliminary survey. Thirty respondents were selected from each of the three selected farming systems. Total of ninety respondents were selected for the study. The findings indicated that, majority of farmers fall under medium category of knowledge and adoption level. It is also concluded that majority of the farmers from all the three farming system belong to middle and lower category of age, education, size of land holding, size of the family, annual income, extension participation, experience in farming, mass media participation, social participation, cosmopoliteness, management orientation, risk orientation and innovativeness. Whereas, some characteristic like size of the family, annual income and management orientation were significantly associated in all the three farming systems.
Partial false friends in English - Turkish translations: diplomatic texts

This study aims to examine false friends, constituting one of the most deceiving parts of the cognates, over the language pair English-Turkish, to explore the following: (i) to identify and make a list of the partial false friends through a diplomatic corpus to serve as a guide for further linguistic studies, and (ii) to test the awareness on false friends of students through their translation. The 32 senior students from the Department of Translation and Interpretation of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Izmir University of Economics participated in the study. They translated different diplomatic texts, which were approved by the instructor for their take-home exams in 5 weeks. For the purposes of the study, linking words were excluded by the author, only diplomacyspecific words were scanned. Of nearly 35000 words scanned out of 32 different diplomatic texts, 100 partial false friends were identified and a relevant list denoting the senses of the cognates in Turkish and English was derived. Besides, whether or not students fell into the trap of using false friends were tested. The findings were scrutinized and discussed in terms of the linguistic features of false friends as well as the students’ approach to false friends. Results regarding false friends’ linguistic features are compatible with those given in literature review, and there is a mismatch at the pragmatic level between certain English and Turkish words in the translated diplomatic texts. As to the training aspect, few mistakes made by the senior students as to the use of partial false friends in their translation task given towards the end of the semester, well confirm the argument by Mattheoudakis and Patsala (2007, p. 333) that the use of context, provisions of translational equivalents and of phraseological equivalents can particularly be of use in the teaching and learning process to avoid using false friends. It is known that subject specific translation courses are now giving more importance to terminology studies as confirmed by the syllabi offered, and it is believed that this research like any other research on false friends will particularly contribute to terminology studies as well as lexicographic, semantic and pragmatic and foreign language teaching studies.

The data was collected/generated for the ME01 project being carried out in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. The ME01 project is a fibre optic instrumentation and dynamic monitoring programme at Norton Bridge, UK, part of the Stafford Area Improvements Programme. The strain data was collected using fibre optic monitoring technologies based on Brillioun Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (BOTDR) and fibre Bragg gratings (FBG).
Turbocharged SI Engine Models for Control

Turbocharging penetration is forecast to increase in the next few years. The additional complexity will usually be tackled by a growth of the use of simulations in the product development cycle. It includes validations and calibrations on virtual test benches as well as model-based control laws. A 0D model, designed to be embedded directly into a predictive control law is presented in this paper. Its steady-state and transients performances are presented and compared to the results obtained with a reference simulator built on a commercial software. Both models well capture the engine dynamic through the entire operating range but with regard to the implementation effort that is needed, each of them stay dedicated to its current application.

This article investigates the effects of negotiated and unilaterally imposed change on employee relations in the German subsidiaries of a Finnish and a German multi-national company (MNC). We look at how the strategies affect the sustainability of the current German model of employee relations and highlight some of the disadvantages of this model for global MNCs.
Mwpd: A duration–amplitude procedure for rapid determination of earthquake magnitude and tsunamigenic potential from P waveforms

SUMMARY We present a duration–amplitude procedure for rapid determination of a moment magnitude, Mwpd, for large earthquakes using P-wave recordings at teleseismic distances. Mwpd can be obtained within 20 min or less after the event origin time as the required data are currently available in near real time. The procedure determines apparent source durations, T 0, from high-frequency, P-wave records, and estimates moments through integration of broad-band displacement waveforms over the interval tP to tP + T 0, where tP is the P-arrival time. We apply the duration–amplitude methodology to 79 recent, large earthquakes (global centroidmoment-tensor magnitude, M CMT , 6.6–9.3) with diverse source types. The results show that a scaling of the moment estimates for interplate thrust and possibly tsunami earthquakes is necessary to best match M CMT . With this scaling, Mwpd matches M CMT typically within ±0.2 magnitude units, with a standard deviation of σ = 0.11, equaling or outperforming other approaches to rapid magnitude determination. Furthermore, Mwpd does not exhibit saturation; that is, for the largest events, Mwpd does not systematically underestimate M CMT . The obtained durations and duration–amplitude moments allow rapid estimation of an energy-to-moment parameter � ∗ used for identification of tsunami earthquakes. Our results show that � ∗ ≤− 5.7 is an appropriate cut-off for this identification, but also show that neither � ∗ nor M w is a good indicator for tsunamigenic events in general. For these events, we find that a reliable indicator is simply that the duration T 0 is greater than about 50 s. The explicit use of the source duration for integration of displacement seismograms, the moment scaling and other characteristics of the duration–amplitude methodology make it an extension of the widely used, Mwp, rapid magnitude procedure. The need for a moment scaling for interplate thrust and possibly tsunami earthquakes may have important implications for the source physics of these events.
Stock Price Mean Reversion to Fundamentals and Long-Run Return Predictability in the Tunisian Stock Market

The purpose of this paper is to examine the mean reversion hypothesis in the Tunisian stock market using two methods: We use a cointegration test technique between stock prices and fundamental value and we estimate the model of Chiang et al. (1995) developed to detect a potential mean reversion of stock prices to fundamental. Our results indicate that although stock prices diverge away from their fundamental value proxied by dividends or earnings, there is an error correction mechanism which adjusts stock prices to revert back to their fundamental value. Evidence also shows that mean reversion supports the predictability of stock returns by the dividend to price and the price to earnings ratios.
Classification of Leafy Spurge With Earth Observing-1 Advanced Land Imager

Abstract Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) is an invasive exotic plant that can completely displace native plant communities. Automated techniques for monitoring the location and extent of leafy spurge, especially if available on a seasonal basis, could add greatly to the effectiveness of control measures. As part of a larger study including multiple sensors, this study examines the utility of mapping the location and extent of leafy spurge in Theodore Roosevelt National Park using Earth Observing-1 satellite Advanced Land Imager (ALI) scanner data. An unsupervised classification methodology was used producing accuracies in the range of 59% to 66%. Existing field studies, with their associated limitations, were used for identifying class membership and accuracy assessment. This sensor could be useful for broad landscape scale mapping of leafy spurge, from which control measures could be based.
Short term variability in larval fish assemblages of the Sydney shelf:tracers of hydrographic variability

Free to read on publisher website Abstract The among- and within-night changes in the vertical and horizontal distribution of ichthyoplankton assemblages across the Sydney continental shelf, SE Australia, were examined in relation to concurrent changes in hydrography. Of the environmental factors examined, spatial position (sampling depth, distance from shore), water temperature and sampling depth relative to the base of the mixed layer gave the best explanation for variability in assemblage distributions. There was good agreement between observed changes in ichthyoplankton distributions and among-night variability in the cross-shelf temperature and current fields. Ichthyoplankton assemblages functioned as short term, biological tracers of hydrographic variability. Our observations suggest several cross-shelf advective processes, including a recirculation cell over the shelf, could retain passively drifting ichthyoplankton within the shelf region and also minimise longshore drift. The multivariate analysis used was an effective method of examining patterns within and between large, highly variable biological and environmental data sets.
Finite Element Analysis of a Tire Steady Rolling on the Drum and Comparison with Experiment

A finite element (FE) model for analysis of tire rolling on the drum, based on a specially developed CAD model, is presented in the paper. All the changes performed on the geometry of CAD model are automatically propagated to FE model. This makes the FE model very suitable for parametric studies, which help tire designer to quickly find the optimal values of tire design parameters. In this way the tire design process is shortened and the quality of resulting tires improved. The results of finite element analyses conducted on the model have directly been compared to experimental ones, confirming model validity. Equipment and methods used for experimental determination of braking and cornering characteristics of the tire as well as for experimental determination of friction coefficient of tire tread have been shown. The difference between experimental and numerical results was smaller after the calibration of friction coefficient had been performed and in such a way a further improvement of the existing model was achieved.
Performance of layer hen fed fermented Jatropha curcas L. meal supplemented with cellulase and phytase enzyme.

The objective of the experiment was to study the effect of feeding fermented Jatropha curcas L.meal (JCM) supplemented with cellulase and phytase on the performances of ISA-Brown laying henaged 25-30 weeks. The Jatropha curcas meal was fermented using Rizhopus oligosporus. In this study200 laying hens were used and distributed to 5 treatments and 4 replications in Completely RandomizedDesign. The diet treatments were: R0 = control diet (without JCM), R1; diet contained fermented JCM7.5%, R2; diet contained fermented JCM 7.5% + celullase 200 g/ton, R3; diet contained fermented JCM7.5% + phytase 200 g/ton and R4; diet contained fermented JCM 7.5% + cellulase 200 g/ton + phytase200 g/ton. The parameters observed were feed consumption, hen day egg production, egg massproduction, egg weight and feed conversion ratio. The results showed that feeding fermented JCM 7.5%,both enzyme supplemented as well as unsupplemented significantly decreased (P<0.05) the feedconsumption, hen day egg and egg mass production. However, the treatments did not influence the eggweight. Supplementation of cellulase (R2) or phytase (R3) improved the feed conversion ratio with thevalue as same as the R0 diet.
The Effects of Corporate Entrepreneurship and Organizational Knowledge Creation on Firm Second-order Competences: Exploratory Evidence from Knowledge-intensive Sectors

While corporate entrepreneurship (CE) is viewed to influence firm competences, their relationship, along with organizational knowledge creation, remains largely unexplored. This paper examines whether and how CE associates with second-order RD we propose that firm second-order R&D and marketing competences are differently influenced by variations of CE and organizational knowledge creation. Regression modeling, used to analyze data collected from various firms in knowledge-intensive sectors, supports our main arguments. Important and novel theoretical and managerial implications emerge from this study.
