The Role of the left DLPFC in the Affective Processes underlying Aesthetic Appreciation of Art

Die Betrachtung eines Kunstwerks kann viele verschiedene Emotionen hervorrufen. Diese affektiven Parameter reprasentieren einen integralen Bestandteil im Prozess asthetischer Wahrnehmung. Eine immer wieder auffallige Gehirnregion in der Erforschung zugrundeliegender neuronaler Prozesse asthetischer Wahrnehmung ist der linke dorsolaterale prafrontale Cortex (lDLPFC). Seine Stimulation fuhrte in der Vergangenheit unter Anderem zu gesteigerten Gefallensurteilen asthetischer Stimuli. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde unter der Anwendung von transkranieller Galvanisation (tDCS) die Aktivitat des lDLPFC moduliert um direkt zu untersuchen, ob der lDLPFC in die affektive Urteilsbildung involviert ist. Der emotionale Inhalt der zu bewertenden Kunstwerke variierte von negativ uber neutral bis hin zu positiven Valenzen. In einer Placebo-kontrollierten, doppelblind-Studie wurden 33 Personen getestet. Diese gaben ihre individuellen, durch die Kunstwerke hervorgerufenen Emotionen, jeweils vor und nach der Stimulation auf einer visuellen Analogskala an. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass neutrale Bilder nach der wirklichen tDCS positiver wahrgenommen wurden als nach der vorgetauschten Stimulation. Dieser Effekt konnte fur die Bewertung negativer und positiver Bilder nicht gefunden werden, diese veranderte sich nicht durch die tDCS. Da neutrale Bilder sich vor allem hinsichtlich ihrer inhaltlichen Explizitat unterscheiden, sprechen die Ergebnisse fur eine Involvierung des lDLPFC in der Generierung affektiver Urteile bei Stimuli mit ambivalentem oder affektiv flachen Inhalt. Der lDLPFC als Teil eines neuronalen Netzwerkes, welches sowohl kognitive Evaluationsprozesse ausfuhrt, als auch bottom-up Informationen der Amygdala integriert spielt moglicherweise eine weniger relevante Rolle bei Reizen die eindeutig positiv oder negativ sind, sondern wird erst zur weiteren Evaluation aktiv, wenn die Valenz des Inputs ambigue ist.
Galactic cosmic rays measured by UVS on Voyager 1 and the end of the modulation. Is the upwind heliopause a collapsed charge-exchange layer?

The detectors of the Ultraviolet Spectrographs (UVS) on Voyager 1/2 are recording a background intensity that was earlier assigned mainly to disintegrations in the radio-isotope thermoelectric generator and systematically subtracted from the signal to infer photon counting. Here, we show that it arises instead from galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). We show the GCR flux measured by UVS on Voyager 1 from 1992 to August 2013, and by comparing to data from the GCR dedicated detectors, we estimate the energy range responsible for this UVS signal, which is around 300 MeV, and the response of UVS to the GCR anisotropy. After the abrupt jumps of May and August 2012, the count rate has been only slightly fluctuating around a constant value. However, comparing it to the data from the Low Energy Charge Particle Experiment (LECP) and the Cosmic Ray Subsystem (CRS) shows that those small variations are only responses to a varying anisotropy and not to a flux change. Taking advantage of the similarity in energy range to one of the products of the CRS instrument suite, we use the ratio between the two independent signals as a proxy for the temporal evolution of the GCR spectral slope around the 300 MeV range. We show that this slope remained unchanged since August 2012 and find strong evidence that it will no longer vary, implying the end of the heliospheric modulation at those energies, and that Voyager 1 at this date is near or past the heliopause. The origin of this unexpectedly narrow and stagnating inner heliosheath is still unclear, and we discuss the potential effects of low solar wind speed episodes and subsequent self-amplified charge-exchange with interstellar neutrals, as a source of deceleration and collapse. We suggest that the quasi-static region encountered by Voyager 1 may be related to such effects, triggered by the strong solar-maximum variability. This did not happen for Voyager 2 due to its trajectory at an angle further from the heliosphere axis and a later termination shock crossing. The existence on the upwind side of a mixing layer formed by charge transfer instead of a pure plasma contact discontinuity could explain various Voyager 1 observations.
Development and production response of edible and forage varieties of pea (Pisum sativum L.) to temporary soil drought under different levels of phosphorus application

The change in weather conditions in Central Europe has led to the need to review current standards for fertilization of pulse crops. Physiologists claim that phosphorus may play a significant role in raising tolerance to a temporary lack of water in the soil. The objective of the 2-year field study (2011–2012) was to assess the effect of phosphorus application on characteristics of the aerial and underground plant parts of different varieties of pea and elements of their yield structure. The study showed that a higher phosphorus application rate led to significant intensification of photosynthesis and thus to more rapid vegetative development in the plants, manifested as a greater number of leaves and greater leaf area. The higher rate of phosphorus application significantly influenced the flowering process of pea during soil drought. The number of flowering nodes increased significantly as phosphorus application increased. The plants fertilized with the higher level of phosphorus produced a greater weight of root nodules with more Rhizobium bacterial colonies. Increased phosphorus fertilization had a significant role during the year of permanent semi-drought, 2012, resulting in a significantly greater number and weight of pods as well as a greater number and weight of seeds per plant, and thus a larger final yield.
Oscillation or rotation: a comparison of two simple reversal models

The asymmetric shape of reversals of the Earth's magnetic field indicates a possible connection with relaxation oscillations as they were early discussed by van der Pol. A simple mean-field dynamo model with a spherically symmetric α coefficient is analysed with view on this similarity, and a comparison of the time series and the phase space trajectories with those of paleomagnetic measurements is carried out. For highly supercritical dynamos a very good agreement with the data is achieved. Deviations of numerical reversal sequences from Poisson statistics are analysed and compared with paleomagnetic data. The role of the inner core is discussed in a spectral theoretical context and arguments and numerical evidence is compiled that the growth of the inner core might be important for the long term changes of the reversal rate and the occurrence of superchrons.
An Analysis of Grammatical Errors in Writing Recount Text at the Eighth Grade of SMP Negeri 20 Kota Jambi

This study aims to analyze and classify the types or mistakes of students using simple past tense in writing text recount. In addition, this study also aims to determine the cause of errors made by the students using simple past tense in writing text recount, This research used qualitative methods. Meanwhile, the research design used is case study. Furthermore, the writer chose the 8th grade students and observed 26 students. The writer used a written test and interviews to gain the data from some students and an English teacher. Based on this research, it is found that students do all kinds of errors (omission, addition, selection and misordering). The type of error most often done by the students was omission error with 166 errors or 38.97%. The second position was a selection error with 162 errors or 38.03%. The third position was the addition error with 67 errors or 15.73%. Then the last position was misordering error with 31 errors or 7.28%. In addition, the errors were caused by the complexity of the English system itself and not because of the influence of the Indonesian system (intralingual transfer). Moreover, students lacked of understanding of the grammar that became the cause of the error. In this study, most students did not understand verb 1,2,3 as well as the proper use if “be” in a sentence. This suggested that students had difficulty with the use of grammar in writing
Lending Booms, Smart Bankers and Financial Crises

This paper develops a theory that explains why financial crises follow profitable lending booms. When agents exhibit the "availability heuristic" and there is a long period of banking profitability, all agents—banks, their investors, and regulators—end up in an "availability cascade," overestimating bankers' risk-management skills and underestimating the probability that observed outcomes are due to good luck. Consequently, banks profitably invest in riskier assets. Subsequently, if a public signal reveals that outcomes are luck-driven, investors withdraw funds, liquidity evaporates, and a crisis ensues. A loan resale market improves liquidity but increases the probability of a crisis.
Modal analysis of different types of classical guitar bodies

Resonant frequencies and Chladni patterns of different types of classical guitar bodies were investigated to continue and further develop the understanding of the tonal qualities of guitars. The acoustic boxes with four types of strutting systems were analyzed. For this, a B&K mini-shaker, to excite the structures, and three B&K 4517-002 accelerometers located on top, at the back and on the sides of the sound box were used. The input and output signals were collected with a Data Acquisition device (DAQ) and processed to discover resonant frequencies and harmonics. During the experiments, Chladni patterns were obtained using powder sand on the surface. The method used does provide some insight regarding the vibrations of classical guitar bodies such as the influence of the strutting system on the modal shapes and dynamic response. The paper carries on the theoretical studies presented in works [4], [5], [6], [14], [15], [16], with experimental research.
Effect of Pile Yarn Type on Absorbency, Stiffness, and Abrasion Resistance Of Bamboo/Cotton and Cotton Terry Towels

This study compared absorbency, stiffness, and abrasion resistance characteristics of bamboo/cotton and cotton terry towels. Bamboo/cotton terry towels were woven with bamboo pile yarn, which has been commonly used in textiles in recent years, whereas cotton terry towels were woven with cotton pile yarns. Desized woven terry towels without dye or any further finishing treatments were produced under industrial conditions. Effects of pile yarn type and pile height on physical and mechanical properties of fabrics were compared using analysis of variance. Design Expert 6.01 (Stat-Ease, Inc., Minneapolis, MN) was used for statistical analyses. It was found that abrasion of towels with bamboo pile yarn was higher than that of towels with cotton pile yarn at high abrasion cycles, whereas stiffness of bamboo/cotton towels was lower than that of cotton towels. Also, it was found that sinking time of terry towels with cotton pile yarn was longer than that of towels with bamboo pile yarn.
Spatial patterns and recent trends in cloud fraction and cloud‐related diffuse radiation in Amazonia

declined at a rate of 0.3% yr � 1 , and the wet season decline was 0.1% yr � 1 . In the west of the region a 1% increase in CRDRP is indicated. Changes in forest composition and productivity may be linked to changes in CRDRP in that decreases in cloud cover in sunny regions or dry seasons may cause a decline in productivity, whereas declines in cloud cover in cloudy regions, or during cloudy seasons, may cause an increase in productivity.
Magnetic field intensification: comparison of 3D MHD simulations with Hinode/SP results

Recent spectro-polarimetric observations have provided detailed measurements of magnetic field, velocity and intensity during events of magnetic field intensification in the solar photosphere. We consider the temporal evolution of the relevant physical quantities for three cases of magnetic field intensification in a numerical simulation. We determine the evolution of the intensity, magnetic flux density and zero-crossing velocity derived from the synthetic Stokes parameters by taking into account the spectral and spatial resolution of the spectropolarimeter (SP) on board Hinode. The three events considered show a similar evolution: advection of magnetic flux to a granular vertex, development of a strong downflow, evacuation of the magnetic feature, increase of the field strength and the appearance of the bright point. We find that synthetic and real observations are qualitatively consistent and, for one of the cases considered, agree very well also quantitatively. The effect of finite resolution (spatial smearing) is most pronounced in the case of small features, for which the synthetic Hinode/SP observations miss the bright point formation and also the high-velocity downflows during the formation of the smaller magnetic features.
Effects of seasonal change and prolonged anoxia on metabolic enzymes of Littorina littorea

The effects of seasonal change (July versus November) and prolonged anoxia (N2 atmosphere at 5 or 10°C for 6 days) exposure in vivo on the activities of 18 enzymes, as well as the kinetic properties of phosphofructokinase (PFK) and pyruvate kinase (PK), were investigated in foot muscle and digestive gland of the marine periwinkle Littorina littorea L. Seasonal differences in enzyme maximal activities were tissue-specific, with generally increased activities during the summer and changes in a greater number of enzymes in digestive gland than in foot muscle. Sea- sonal differences in the kinetic properties of PFK and PK were observed in both tissues. PK from digestive gland of winter animals showed a much higher S0.5 for phosphoenolpyruvate and stronger changes in enzyme kinetic properties in response to anoxia than did the enzyme in summer animals; this may suggest the presence of seasonal isozymes. The effects of anoxia were tissue- and season-specific. Anoxia exposure during the winter induced a greater number of changes in enzyme maximal activities in foot muscle than in digestive gland. Anoxia-induced changes in the kinetic properties of both PFK and PK were also seen in both organs. For PK, these changes were consistent with less active enzyme forms in the anoxic state. Hence, both seasonal and environmental (anoxia) factors influence enzyme maximal activities and kinetic properties in L. littorea. Resume : Nous avons etudie les effets de changements saisonniers (juillet contre novembre) et de l'anoxie prolongee (atmosphere de N2 a5o u 10°C durant 6 jours) in vivo sur l'activite de 18 enzymes, de meme que sur les proprietes
The Science of Creating Organizational Connectedness

Pavlovich and Krahnke’s inclusion of neurological and psychological evidence to support organizational connectedness should be lauded. Unfortunately, we suggest a more fine-grained reading of the literature does not support their claim that empathy is critical to dissolving boundaries between employees and increasing altruism. DEFINING EMPATHY IS challenging, in part, because it often means different things to different people. However, generally speaking, empathy has two separate but interlocking features. The first feature is affective resonance. Affective resonance is the matching of one’s own emotions to that of another by virtue of imagining themselves in like situations as if they were ‘in their shoes’. The second feature is cognitive simulation. Cognitive simulation is the imagining of another person’s circumstances and situational specifics in order to construct an understanding of the target’s mind. It’s both the affective and cognitive elements of empathy that define contemporary usage.

Use of biological silage in diets for fish of Brycon amazonicus (Spix & Agassiz, 1829) fingerlings

The present work was aimed to evaluate the growth parameters for Brycon amazonicus fingerlings subjected to diets with different levels partial replacements of fish meal by biological silage. The experiment was conducted in the Laboratory of the Production of Aquatic Organisms at the Nilton Lins University, during 60 days, 240 fingerlings were used with average initial weight 3.77 ± 0.40 g and average initial length 8.39 ± 0.42 cm, distributed in 12 water tanks of 310 L-1 polyethylene. Four experimental diets (0, 10%, 20% and 30%) partial replacement of fish meal by biological silage of fish. The results of weight gain and protein efficiency ratio showed a positive linear regression (p<0.01) for the feed with 10% of partial replacement of fish meal by biological silage. It is concluded that fish meal can be replaced partially to 10% by biological silage, favoring the good performance of the fish.
ENHANCING INTERMEDIATE WHEATGRASS ESTABLISHMENT IN SPOTTED KNAPWEED INFESTED RANGELAND

The objective of this study was to compare intermediate wheatgrass establishment at 4 seeding rates, in combination with tillage and/or glyphosate (n-phosphomethyl glyine), in spotted knapweed infested rangeland. We hypothesized that the establishment of intermediate wheatgrass seedlings would be greatest at high seeding rates, while spotted knapweed density and biomass would be negatively impacted by intermediate wheatgrass densities. Glyphosate (1.16 liters a.i./ha; with and without), tillage (200 mm depth; with and without), and 4 seeding rates (0, 500, 2,500, 12,500 m-2) of intermediate wheatgrass seeds were factorially arranged in a randomized-complete-block design with 4 blocks at each of 2 sites in Montana. Treatments were applied in the fall of 1995. By the second growing season, intermediate wheatgrass failed to established in plots seeded with 500 seeds m-2, the currently recommended seeding rate. Increasing the seeding rate to 2,500 and 12,500 m-2 increased intermediate wheatgrass tiller density by 80 and 140 plants m-2, respectively, at Hamilton and 158 and 710 plants m-2, respectively, at Bozeman. At the highest seeding rate, combining tillage with glyphosate increased tiller density over 3 times more than other treatments where intermediate wheatgrass successfully established at Hamilton. However, neither tillage nor glyphosate affected intermediate wheatgrass density at Bozeman by the second growing season. In the first season, seeding rates of 0, 500, 2,500, 12,500 m-2 produced 214, 208, 176, and 114 knapweed plants m-2, respectively (LSD0.05 = 36.1) at Bozeman, but had no effect at Hamilton. Our revegetation study suggests that increasing intermediate wheatgrass seeding rates can facilitate their establishment in spotted knapweed infested rangeland. Using high seeding rates to control spotted knapweed and increase seedling establishment may enhance our ability to use revegetation as an effective weed management strategy.

JEL Classification : G 32 , G 33 Keywords : family firms , control blocks , bankruptcy , inheritance taxes , private benefits

We study the role of family ownership during the bankruptcy process. We argue that at times of distress family blockholders are better positioned to manage the firm since they care about non-pecuniary benefits that the firm provides. We test this hypothesis focusing on the sample of public US corporations between 2001 and 2008. We show that family firms have faster bankruptcy resolution process, suggesting that they efficiently reduce the cost of distress. This also translates into higher recovery rates on debt and smaller drops in stock prices around bankruptcy filings, suggesting that neither creditors, nor minority shareholders are negatively affected by family blockholding. Family blockholders keep higher ownership stakes following the bankruptcy. The reduced cost of distress has implications for ex-ante borrowing yields.
Airline Service Quality Dimensions and Customer Loyalty: Empirical Evidence from Air Passengers’ in Lagos State

Abstract Air travellers are increasingly becoming more demanding in terms of their expectations of the quality of service offered by airline carriers. Hence, operators must improve service delivery to retain their loyalty. This study investigates the relationship between airline service quality dimensions and customer loyalty among air passengers in Lagos state. Causal research design was adopted to examine the aforementioned relationship. Convenience sampling technique was used to survey 600 air travellers. Data collected from the respondents were analysed by using Pearson correlation analysis and Anova. The findings reveal that the service quality and its dimensions are positive and significantly related to each other, overall service quality and customer loyalty. The results of the study indicate no significant difference between customers’ travelling for different motives in their perception of the quality of services. It was also discovered that flight frequency was insignificantly connected to customer loyalty. In line with the above findings, the study concludes that the airline service quality improvement initiatives should begin with recognition of customers’ needs. Correspondingly, airline operators should cultivate strategies to fulfil their service promise along the service quality dimensions, most important to air travellers to enhance customer loyalty.
Effect of stages of lactation on goat milk composition under field and farm rearing condition.

Received: Revised: Accepted: 2014–02–09 2014–05–12 2014–05–12 The aim of this study was to evaluate the conspicuous effects on milk quality of farm and field rearing goats. Milk samples were collected from two important goat breed Jamunapari and Jakhrana from different villages. The analysis were performed on 1215 milk samples collected from 377 Jamunapari and 736 Jakhrana goats, at varied environmental conditions of time period April – June, July – September and November – February The sample selection criteria were also decide according to stages of lactation time period 10 – 40 days, 41 – 90 days and 91 to 150 days. Electronic Milk Analyzer provides specific gravity (1.0295±0.00038), Fat % (4.76±0.046), Protein % (3.205±0.031), Lactose % (4.433±0.014), Ash % (0.745±0.009), TS% (13.15±0.034), and SNF % (8.38±0.053) of all the samples. Lactation stages showed significant effect on milk quality. The percentages of fat, protein, lactose, ash, TS, and SNF, were significantly higher (p<0.05) with advancement of lactation in both breeds. The milk of farm rearing goats had significantly (p<0.05) higher content of fat, protein, lactose, ash, TS, and SNF, in comparison to field rearing goats. Variation in milk quality for different months of the year and rearing conditions are directly proportional to variation in eco–environmental condition.
