Changes in epilithic diatom assemblages in a Mediterranean high mountain lake (Laguna de La Caldera, Sierra Nevada, Spain) after a period of drought

The epilithic diatom assemblages studied in the high mountain lake “La Caldera” (Granada, Spain) from 1996 to 1998 went through two clearly different stages. The initial one, in 1996, corresponded to the reflooding of the basin after a severe drought and was composed mainly of the colonising species Fragilaria rumpens, together with a lesser presence of Nitzschia sublinearis and Hantzschia amphioxys. The predominant presence of F. rumpens at the end of the summer of 2006 coincided with low species diversity (values of Shannon and Wiener Index: 0.3-0.6). During the following two years another assemblage established itself, dominated by Achnanthidium minutissimum, which is considered to be more stable and widespread among the lakes of the Sierra Nevada. The most notable subdominant species (less than 20% of relative abundance) in this assemblage were: Encyonema minutum, Encyonopsis microcephala and Navicula cryptocephala. The diversity values during this second period were much higher than in the first: 1.0-2.2. Nutrient concentrations were measured separately in the limnetic (epilimnetic) and benthic (epilithic) environments. These abiotic parameters show that the dynamics of ammonia and silica were much the same in both, showing a gradual decrease from the beginning to the end of the study period. Epilimnetic phosphorus followed a similar pattern to ammonia and silica. In the epilithon, nitrates and phosphates increased during the first year, only to descend notably during the second. The effect of other environmental parameters such as temperature and the preceding drought on the dynamics of the diatom assemblage are discussed. Ratio DIN:SRP let us test the different degrees of phosphorus limitation in epilithon and epilimnion environments; our results suggest that phosphorus limitation of primary production in high mountain lakes is much more severe in the limnetic environment that it is in the epilithon.
Statistical investigation of horizontal propagation of gravity waves in the ionosphere over Europe and South Africa

[1] A statistical investigation into the horizontal propagation of ∼8–30 min gravity waves (GWs) in the ionosphere over a 1 year period from June 2010 to May 2011 is presented. The GWs were observed by multipoint continuous Doppler sounding systems installed in the Czech Republic and in the Western Cape, South Africa. Measurements of GW propagation in the ionosphere over South Africa have never been presented before. Simultaneous measurements from nearby ionosondes made it possible to estimate the height of the GW observations and show that the analyzed GWs propagated at altitudes from ∼150 to ∼250 km. The analyzed waves were mainly observed after sunrise and around sunset. Our statistical study shows that the analyzed GWs propagated with horizontal velocities from ∼70 to 250 m/s. The average observed horizontal velocities were ∼100 m/s in the local summer and 125–150 m/s in the local winter. The waves propagated approximately poleward in the local summer, whereas roughly equatorward propagation was observed in the local winter. Westward propagation was rarely observed in the Czech Republic, and eastward (southeast) propagation was seldom observed in South Africa. A comparison with neutral wind velocities shows that the analyzed GWs propagated approximately against the neutral winds calculated by the HWM07 model. The estimated horizontal wavelengths of the analyzed waves were ∼100–300 km.
Cyber-Bullying Among University Students: An Empirical Investigation from the Social Cognitive Perspective

Rising incidents of, and tragedies from, cyber-bullying have alerted researchers, educators, government officials, and parents to the severe consequences of this new form of bullying. Existing research on cyber-bullying is mostly conducted without sound theoretical foundation. In addition, previous studies focus on children and adolescents; there is a paucity of empirical examination of cyber-bullying behavior among university students. Drawing from social cognitive theory and focusing on university students, this study hypothesizes about, and empirically tests the effects of, personal and environmental factors on the likelihood for university students to perform cyber-bullying behavior. The results from a survey of university students in Hong Kong reveal that social norms, as well as personal factors such as Internet self-efficacy, motivations, and cyber-victimization experience, are strong predictors of university students’ cyber-bullying behavior. This study not only enriches our understanding of determinants of cyber-bullying behavior by university students but also provides valuable insights to educators, government officials, and parents.

Interplay between bandwidth-controlled and filling-controlled pressure-induced Mott insulator to metal transition in the molecular compound [Au(Et-thiazdt)$_2$]

Optical properties of the quasi-two-dimensional single-component molecular Mott insulator [Au(Et-thiazdt)$_2$] (Et-thiazdt = N-ethyl-1,3-thiazoline-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) have been investigated under pressure at room temperature. At 1.5 GPa, [Au(Et-thiazdt)$_2$] undergoes an insulator to metal transition (IMT). Optical conductivity spectra exhibit a clear Drude peak at high pressure. In addition, we observed a clear anisotropy of pressure-induced modifications of the electronic structure. With increasing pressure, along the molecule stacks, a strong increase of the spectral weight below 1 eV is observed, while in the transverse direction, it remains barely constant with a redistribution from midinfrared to low energy. Besides the increase of the singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) bandwidth, calculations show that the SOMO-1 bands cross the Fermi level at the transition. Moreover, we have calculated the optical conductivity as a function of pressure to provide a picture of the compound physics under 1 eV. Our results indicate that the pressure-induced IMT is simultaneously due to a bandwidth and a band-filling phenomenon that imply both Mott physics and uncorrelated charge carriers.

Spontaneous adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting is the corner stone of pharmacovigilance. ADR reporting with yellow post has tremendously improved safety of drugs. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of health professionals towards ADR reporting in Jimma zone hospitals, South Western Ethiopia and to suggest possible ways of improving reporting. A cross sectional study was conducted using a structured self-administered questionnaire and the data was compiled and analyzed using SPSS version 16.0 stastical soft ware. All health professionals found in the data collection period were included in the study. A total of 203 health professionals (143 males and 60 females) were interviewed. Among this only,76(37.4%) were awared about the presence of national ADR reporting centre in Ethiopia and only 42 (20.6 %) were aware of the yellow prepaid post in Ethiopia. 82 (40.4%) of the respondents were encouraged to report ADR if the reaction is to a new product. Education and training on how to report ADR to health professionals was the most emphasised means of improving ADR reporting. Only 8.8% of the respondents had ever reported using the yellow Most of the respondents believe on the importance of ADR reporting but there is a knowledge gap on how to report. Most of the respondent’s did not report ADR in their life time. The majority of the respondents emphasized on education and training to fill this gap.

Judging Fatness: The Effects of Emotion on Moral Judgment and Moral Judgment on Emotion

Research regarding the CAD Triad Hypothesis shows that three specific emotions (contempt, anger, and disgust) are associated with three matched types of moral transgressions (community, autonomy, and divinity). The current studies examined the relationship between emotion and moral judgment of these moral transgressions in the context of fatness, a highly moralized characteristic in the U.S. In Study 1, disgust of college student participants and the weight of a protagonist were manipulated and participants were asked to make moral judgments in response to several hypothetical situations. Contrary to predictions, neither disgust nor the presence of an overweight protagonist was associated with more severe moral judgments. Disgust sensitivity and antifat attitudes did not play a notable role in the predicted relationship between disgust and moral judgment. Study 2 examined associations between the three CAD transgressions and their matched CAD emotions in a sample of women from a local gym. Partial support was found in that divinity transgressions made by overweight individuals were more likely to be judged with disgust than anger or contempt, and autonomy transgressions were more likely to be judged with anger than contempt. These studies have important implications for our understanding of how and why moral judgments are made with regards to overweight individuals.
Some notes on Markuševič bases in weakly compactly generated Banach spaces

Let X be a (non-separable) Banach space generated by a weakly compact subset. If X has Markusevic basis with norming coefficient space then so does every subspace. Extension of Markusevic bases from subspaces to the whole X and a renorming theorem for X = C(K) is proved.
Effects of Chelating Compounds on Mobilization and Phytoextraction of Copper and Lead in Contaminated Soils

Six chelating compounds: ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA), ethylenediamine-N, N'-disuccinic acid (EDDS), tartaric acid, citric acid, glycine and histidine, were tested as potential agents to mobilize copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) from two soils polluted with the emissions from copper smelters. Copper was mobilized with the following efficiency: EDTA > citric and tartaric acids > histidine > EDDS and glycine, while Pb extractability followed the order: EDTA > EDDS >> tartaric and citric acid >> glycine and histidine. With respect to these results, EDTA and EDDS were chosen for a pot experiment on chelate-induced phytoextraction of Cu and Pb by maize (Zea mays). Chelates were applied at the rates of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 mmol kg−1, and this experiment was carried out at two different watering regimes. Both EDTA and EDDS caused significant increase of Cu uptake from soils, but its concentrations in biomass were far below those required for efficient soil remediation. Lead uptake was only slightly affected by chelate application. Losses of Cu from soil by leaching were much higher than those caused by plant uptake.
School Teachers’ Knowledge about Autism in Saudi Arabia

The purpose of this study was to find out what school teachers know about Autism. In addition, this study attemptedto find out if there any significant differences in school teachers’ knowledge about Autism depending on teachers’(gender, position, education level, teaching experience, and contact with students with Autism) variables. A total of391 general and special education teachers from various segregated and inclusive schools within the Jeddah in SaudiArabia completed study instrument (Autism knowledge Questionnaire) to determine their level of knowledge aboutAutism. An analysis of the collected data, using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance, indicated that schoolteachers had an acceptable approaching to weak level of knowledge about Autism disorder. The results also indicatedsignificant differences in the teachers’ knowledge about Autism depending on teachers’ (position, education level,teaching experience, and contact with students with Autism) favoring special education teachers, more advancedlevel of education and teaching experience, and those with previous contact with students with Autism.
The Mw 7.9, 12 May 2008 Sichuan earthquake rupture measured by sub-pixel correlation of ALOS PALSAR amplitude images

PALSAR L-band spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) amplitude images are used to map the Sichuan earthquake rupture (China, Mw 7.9, 12 May 2008) and to identify the faults activated by the earthquake. A sub-pixel correlation method is used to retrieve the coseismic displacement field projected into the line of sight of the satellite and the horizontal along-track direction, and to map the surface rupture. The earthquake broke ∼270 km of the Beichuan fault and ∼70 km of the Guanxian fault, with a complex thrust-dextral slip mechanism. Along the southwestern part of the rupture, slip seems to be partitioned into a dextral-dominant component on the Beichuan fault and a thrust-dominant component on the Guanxian fault. Dextral slip may also be dominant at the northeastern tip of the Beichuan ruptured fault. Coseismic surface displacements reach on average 3 to 4 m in both measured directions. The SAR rupture mapping has proven complementary to field studies extending the zone of co-seismic displacements and identifying other possible co-seismic rupture strands.
ALMA OBSERVATIONS OF A HIGH-DENSITY CORE IN TAURUS: DYNAMICAL GAS INTERACTION AT THE POSSIBLE SITE OF A MULTIPLE STAR FORMATION

Starless dense cores eventually collapse dynamically, forming protostars inside them, and the physical properties of the cores determine the nature of the forming protostars. We report ALMA observations of dust continuum emission and molecular rotational lines toward MC27 or L1521F, which is considered to be very close to the first protostellar core phase. We found a few starless high-density cores, one of which has a very high density of ∼107 cm−3, within a region of several hundred AU around a very low-luminosity protostar detected by Spitzer. A very compact bipolar outflow with a dynamical timescale of a few hundred years was found toward the protostar. The molecular line observation shows several cores with an arc-like structure, possibly due to the dynamical gas interaction. These complex structures revealed in the present observations suggest that the initial condition of star formation is highly dynamical in nature, which is considered to be a key factor in understanding fundamental issues of star formation such as the formation of multiple stars and the origin of the initial mass function of stars.
Zirconolite and Zr-Th-U minerals in chromitites of the finero complex, Western Alps, Italy: Evidence for carbonatite-type metasomatism in a subcontinental mantle plume

Nous avons trouve la zirconolite (CaZrTi 2 O 7 ) associee aux accessoires baddeleyite (ZrO 2 ), thorianite (ThO 2 ), uraninite (UO 2 ), thorite ou huttonite (ThSiO 4 ) et zircon (ZrSiO 4 ) dans des echantillons de chromitite du massif de Finero, de derivation mantellique, dans les Alpes occidentales, en Italie. Ces mineraux "exotiques" ne se presentent pas en veines ou fractures tardives; ils font bien partie de l'assemblage des accessoires (phlogopite, amphibole, apatite, ilmenite, geikielite, rutile, molybdenite, et carbonate de Mg-Ca) formee lors d'une metasomatose dans le manteau. Les relations texturales de la zirconolite et des mineraux a Zr-Th-U associes indiquent une cristallisation avec l'assemblage chromite - olivine - orthopyroxene entre 800° et environ 600°C, a une pression d'environ 1.0 GPa. La zirconolite est un indicateur de sous-saturation en silice. Sa composition dans cet suite, par exemple la pro-eminence de Th et U par rapport a Nb et Ta, rappelle la zirconolite signalee dans certains complexes carbonatitiques. Son etroite association aux mineraux de Zr-Th-U et aux elements Y, Hf, Pb et terres rares legeres, serait symptomatique d'un caractere carbonatitique de la metasomatose qui a affectee ce complexe. La formation d'un liquide d'aspect carbonatitique et d'une phase fluide associee est generalement liee a la mise en place de panaches mantelliques dans les rifts continentaux. Cette association concorde donc avec l'hypothese voulant que le manteau a Finero ait subi un diapirisme a la base de la croute continentale au cours d'un episode pre-Hercynien de tectonique d'extension.

The Theory and Practice of Myopic Management

This article reviews the theory and empirical evidence of myopic management as it pertains to marketing practice. It documents empirically the stock market's inability to properly value marketing and innovation activity in the face of the potential for myopic management. The author assesses the total financial consequences of myopic management (the practice of cutting marketing and research-and-development spending to inflate earnings) and finds that myopia has a long-term net negative impact on firm value. Myopic management is contrasted with accounting accruals-based earnings inflation, and the author shows that the real activities (i.e., myopic management), and not the accounting numbers manipulation, have the greater negative impact on future financial performance. These results are consistent across alternative abnormal return measures and alternative benchmarks. The author argues that shareholders, managers, and marketing researchers can play a role in limiting myopic management practices.
Reproductive performance of Santa Inês ewes fed protected fat diet

The objective of this work was to evaluate the reproductive performance of Santa Ines ewes fed a diet supplemented with protected fat. Intervals from lambing to first clinical estrus and to conception, conception rate, prolificacy, live weight and body condition were determined. After lambing, 60 ewes and their offsprings were weighted and randomly assigned to three treatments, based on age, body weight and number of born lambs. Treatments consisted of: control diet, or control diet plus 30 g of protected fat, from lambing to day 25 of post‑lambing (Sup25), or to day 60 of post‑lambing (Sup60). Out of 60 evaluated ewes, 93.3% returned to estrus, and 74.5% got pregnant, with 73.53% lambing rate and 196.5 days lambing interval. The average periods from lambing to first estrus were 32.4, 27.2 and 35.5 days for ewes fed the control diet, Sup25, and Sup60, respectively. The intervals from lambing to conception were 45.2, 46.5 and 45.2 days, and the supplemented diets did not show differences in comparison to the control diet. Supplementation with protected fat to well-nourished Santa Ines ewes does not improve their reproductive performance.
Green Agriculture: foundations for biodiverse, resilient and productive agricultural systems

There are many visions on how to achieve a sustainable agriculture that provides enough food and ecosystem services for present and future generations in an era of climate change, increasing costs of energy, social unrest, financial instability and increasing environmental degradation. New agricultural systems that are able to confront the challenges of a rapidly changing world require a minimum of ten attributes that constitute the defining elements of a Green Agriculture. A major challenge is to identify a set of thresholds that any agricultural production strategy must meet, beyond which unsustainable trends caused by the farming technologies would lead to tipping-point phenomena. Only those styles of agriculture that meet the established threshold criteria while advancing rural communities towards food, energy and technological sovereignty would be considered viable forms of Green Agriculture. Considering the diversity of ecological, socio-economic, historical and political contexts in which agricultural systems have developed and are evolving in, it is only wise to define a set of flexible and locally adaptable principles and boundaries of sustainability and resiliency for the agroecosystems of the immediate future.
EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE SUBSET SELECTION PROCESS BASED ON CLUSTERING ALGORITHM

Process with high dimensional data is enormous issue in data mining and machine learning applications. Feature selection is the mode of recognize the good number of features that produce well-suited outcome as the unique entire set of features. Feature selection process constructs a pathway to reduce the dimensionality and time complexity and also improve the accuracy level of classifier. In this paper, we use an alternative approach, called affinity propagation algorithm for effective and efficient feature selection and clustering process. The endeavor is to improve the performance in terms accuracy and time complexity.

Two-term silting complexes over algebras with radical square zero

We give an explicit description of two-term silting complexes over algebras with radical square zero in terms of tilting modules over path algebras. As an application, we prove that the number of two-term tilting complexes over Brauer line algebras (respectively, Brauer cycle algebras) with $n$ edges is $\binom{2n}{n}$ (respectively, $2^{2n-1}$ if $n$ is odd and $\infty$ if $n$ is even).
