A blind CO detection of a distant red galaxy in the HS1700+64 protocluster.

We report the blind detection of ^(12)CO emission from a distant red galaxy, HS1700.DRG55. We have used the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer WideX, with its 3.6 GHz of instantaneous dual-polarization bandwidth, to target ^(12)CO(3–2) from galaxies lying in the protocluster at z = 2.300 in the field HS1700+64. If indeed this line in DRG55 is ^(12)CO(3–2), its detection at 104.9 GHz indicates zCO = 2.296. None of the other eight known z ∼ 2.30 protocluster galaxies lying within the primary beam (PB) are detected in ^(12)CO, although the limits are ∼2 × worse towards the edge of the PB where several lie. The optical/near-IR magnitudes of DRG55 (R_AB > 27, KAB = 22.3) mean that optical spectroscopic redshifts are difficult with 10-m-class telescopes, but near-IR redshifts would be feasible. The 24-μm-implied star formation rate (210 M_⊙ yr^−1), stellar mass (∼10^11 M_⊙) and ^(12)CO line luminosity (3.6 × 10^10 K km s^−1 pc^2) are comparable to other normal ^(12)CO-detected star-forming galaxies in the literature, although the galaxy is some ∼2 mag (∼6 ×) fainter in the rest-frame UV than ^(12)CO-detected galaxies at z > 2. The detection of DRG55 in ^(12)CO complements three other ^(12)CO detected UV-bright galaxies in this protocluster from previous studies, and suggests that many optically faint galaxies in the protocluster may host substantial molecular gas reservoirs, and a full blind census of ^(12)CO in this overdense environment is warranted.
Small to Medium-sized Enterprises and Their Financial Report Quality

This study examined factors affecting the intention to adopt Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) for Small to Medium-sized Enterprises ( SMEs ) and to use information technology (IT) for financial reporting on SMEs in Central Java Indonesia by using several models. The issue of this research carried from the phenomenon that both things are still a bit carried in Indonesia, to prepare ASEAN economic community. The data obtained from the perception SMEs owners in some cities at Central Java Indonesia, using the survey as primary data. Data analysis was using Partial Least Square to test the correlation and T-test to test the different on the two groups. The results showed that the intention to adopt FAS for SMEs construct could be explained 24% by the variability of the eight other variables with the age of company as a moderating variable. The intention to use information technology (IT) was 57.1%, and implementation construct can be explained by the variability of the intention to adopt FAS SMEs and use IT by 41.6%. This study has limitations on the latent variable constructs and indicators that build construct only several variables. The other limitation is the respondent in question are only on SMEs in Central Java. This study provides the predictive value of the reason why SMEs in Indonesia is lacking in the use of FAS and IT, as well as the intriguing possibilities policy.

Structure of importance of techniques of throws in different age groups in men judo

The primary goal of every analysis of sport activity is detailed assessment of importance of all characteristics, abilities and motor knowledge which are important for success in one sport. This type of analyses must be a help to the coaches and competitors in perfection and optimization of a training process and match/bout efficiency. A technical and tactical analysis is one of the basic analyses in sport science and it’s complexity depends of a type of sport activity. Although some coaches put your faith in their own sport experience during the assessment of sport activity probability of a mistake in that case can be very big. Empirically proved assessment is the key step in determination of technical and tactical structure of each sport. As the complexity of a sport rises rise the importance of empirically proved assessment. Judo, as the polystructural acyclic sport, belongs to a group of sports of big technical and tactical complexity. Judo consists of an eight groups of techniques [1,2] in which are over two hundred independent technical elements. This paper analyses the group of the most important technical elements in judo bout – group of throws [3,4]. The aim of this paper is to do assessment of the importance of techniques of throws in men junior and senior age categories. The obtained data could be used for the definition of a technical and tactical preparation of male judokas.
Sensitivity of geodetic glacier mass balance estimation to DEM void
interpolation

Abstract. Glacier mass balance is a direct expression of climate change, with implications for sea level, ocean chemistry, oceanic and terrestrial ecosystems, and water resources. Traditionally, glacier mass balance has been estimated using in-situ measurements of changes in surface height and density at select locations on the glacier surface, or by comparing changes in surface height using repeat, full-coverage digital elevation models (DEMs), also called the geodetic method. DEMs often have gaps in coverage (voids) based on the nature of the sensor used and the surface being measured. The way that these voids are accounted for has a direct impact on the estimate of geodetic glacier mass balance, though a systematic comparison of different proposed methods has been heretofore lacking. In this study, we determine the impact and sensitivity of void-filling methods on estimates of volume change. Using two spatially complete, high-resolution DEMs over Southeast Alaska, USA, we compare 11 different void-filling methods on a glacier-by-glacier and regional basis. We find that a few methods introduce biases of up to 20 % in the regional results, while other methods give results very close (
Policy Brief No. 47. From farmer participation to pro-poor seed markets: the political economy of commercial cereal seed networks in Ghana

The current agricultural policy discourse in Ghana emphasises ‘pro‐poor market’ approaches to seeds and input delivery systems by creating public‐private partnerships and an enabling environment for agri‐business. This has resulted in a particular configuration of actors and interests that define the country's emerging Green Revolution agenda, of which certified seed is a critical component. This article draws on the results of a political economic analysis of Ghana's cereal seed system to examine how influential alliances of public and private actors have constructed a particular vision of the future of agriculture in the country which serves a narrow set of political interests and constrains local innovation and opportunity in the seed sector. It highlights how this universalising ‘consensus’ is acting to close down efforts to establish more pluralistic, participatory approaches in favour of a single, dominant, commercially oriented model of agricultural development.
Hierarchy and dynamics of self-referential processing: The non-personal Me1 and the personal Me2 elicited via single words

Abstract Recent electroencephalography (EEG) studies accumulated evidence that support a dynamic view of the self (multiple aspect theory). In this study, we test the specific hypothesis of the multiple aspect theory of the self by using EEG data from the HisMine paradigm. In the HisMine paradigm German pronouns are visually presented in a stream of additional stimuli, while changes in brain activity are determined by means of EEG. At an early cortical processing stage, the presentation of the possessive pronouns "mein" ("my"), "sein" ("his") and "dein" ("your") elicited significantly different brain activities when compared to the non-personal pronoun "ein" ("a"). At a later processing stage, cortical processing of the self-related possessive pronoun ("mein") differed from the processing of all other possessive and the non-personal pronoun. In line with previous observations (and the multiple aspect theory of the self), the early effect (here referred to as Me1) was found at specifically left occipito-parietal electrode locations (e.g. PO9), whereas the later effect (here referred to as Me2) occurred specifically at the left fronto-temporal electrode site, F7. This finding supports the idea that the human self is consisting of multiple aspects. Potential implications are discussed.
Exports and Labor Skills: The Role of Training

An increasing number of analyses show that firms that are engaged in international trade have superior labor capabilities than their counterparts serving only the domestic market. One way to improve labor skills is by training current employees. There is, however, no empirical evidence showing how the exports of a firm respond to training programs. Using firm level data from Chile this study examines the impact of training employees on the firm’s export status. Based on a matching difference-in-differences estimator the results show that training employees can substantially increase the probability of becoming an exporter. Additional results provide details on how the effects differ by labor type, by the intensity of the labor training and whether there are cumulative effects over time. The analysis also sheds light on factors that complement training. All these issues are important to assess under what conditions labor training programs might work best with respect to trade outcomes
Intercomparison of solar UV direct irradiance spectral measurements at Izana in June 2005

Spectral measurements of direct solar ultraviolet irradiance are very important for many applications in the field of atmospheric sciences. Despite its usefulness, few UV monitoring sites include such measurements in their regular observational programs. Standardization of measurement methodologies and calibration techniques is required in order to reach the quality standard of global irradiance measurements. This study presents preliminary results from an intercomparison campaign of seven UV spectroradiometers of different types that took place at the high altitude site of Izana (28.3°N, 16.5°W, 2367 m above sea level), in Tenerife, Canary Islands in June 2005. The campaign is focused primarily on spectral measurements of direct solar irradiance. Among the objectives is to improve the quality of direct solar irradiance spectral measurements, through instrumental modifications and standardization of calibration techniques, as well as to assess the significance of the differences in the field of view of the spectroradiometers with respect to aerosols and to solar zenith angle. Under the low aerosol conditions prevailing during this campaign, we aimed to establish the differences among the various instruments under "ideal" conditions. Moreover, continuous measurements under stable total ozone and aerosol optical depth will be used to determine the extraterrestrial solar flux, through the application of the Langley extrapolation method. A first comparison of sky radiance measurements of the zenith light and of various directions on the sky show effects of sensitivity to polarization of one type of instruments and the variability of the provisional radiance calibration of 4 instruments.
Zooplankton predators and prey: body size and stable isotope to investigate the pelagic food web in a deep lake (Lake Iseo, Northern Italy)

Seasonal changes in trophic position and food sources of deep subalpine lake (Lake Iseo, Northern Italy) zooplankton taxa were investigated during the year 2011. Furthermore, it's combined carbon and nitrogen Stable Isotope Analysis (SIA) with size-specific analyses of both, the major predatory cladoceran ( Leptodora kindtii , Focke) and two potential preys ( Daphnia longispina complex and Eubosmina longicornis ). SIA studies have been extremely useful to track the energy flow through complex trophic network, however, if it is applied to analyze relation between two/few species may lead to misleading interpretations. In fact, integrating size-specificity allowed for understanding why L. kindtii nitrogen isotopic fingerprint fully overlapped with Daphnia , in spring. By investigating changes in L. kindtii 's feeding basket, we found that in spring, L. kindtii mainly relied upon E. longicornis as prey, Daphnia being of too large body size for being captured by L. kindtii. Among preys encountered directly in front by a free-swimming Leptodora , only those able to fit into basket opening can be captured. As basket diameter increases with animal body length, size selection of prey depends on L. kindtii body length. As in other deep, subalpine lakes, E. longicornis was less 15 N-enriched than Daphnia , most likely because of exploiting nitrogen fixing, cyanobacteria colonies, commonly detected in Lake Iseo with the onset of thermal stratification. Cyclopoid adults were at the top of zooplankton food chain and they could potentially be feeding on Daphnia . They, however, likely fed in a different habitat (>20 m deep water), as suggested by a rather than negligible carbon fractionation. The results overall suggest that size-specificity is crucial for addressing space and time changes in trophic links between organisms composing the two hierarchical levels within open water zooplankton community.
Effect of road side dust pollution on the growth and total chlorophyll contents in Vitis vinifera L. (grape)

The effect of dust in Vitis vinifera L. on its pigmentation and growth was studied in 2012. Measurements were taken for plants in the Campus University of Balochistan, Quetta. A significant reduction in plant length, cover, number of leaves and total chlorophyll contents for V. vinifera L. was observed. The maximum reduction of all investigated variables such as plant length, cover, number of leaves and total chlorophyll contents on the fourth week of observation conform that long time accumulation of road side dust put long term savior effects on plant growth and its pigmentations. The results of this study also reveal that there is negative correlation between the amount of dust accumulation and plant growth parameters, as the amount of dust increased plant growth decreased, respectively.

A Cavity of Large Grains in the Disk around the Group II Herbig Ae/Be Star HD 142666

Herbig Ae/Be (HAeBe) stars have been classified into Group I or Group II, and were initially thought to be flared and flat disks, respectively. Several Group I sources have been shown to have large gaps, suggesting ongoing planet formation, while no large gaps have been found in the disks of Group II sources. We analyzed the disk around the Group II source, HD 142666, using irradiated accretion disk modeling of the broadband spectral energy distribution along with the 1.3 mm spatial brightness distribution traced by Atacama Large Millimeter and Submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations. Our model reproduces the available data, predicting a high degree of dust settling in the disk, which is consistent with the Group II classification of HD 142666. In addition, the observed visibilities and synthesized image could only be reproduced when including a depletion of large grains out to ∼ 16 au in our disk model, although the ALMA observations did not have enough angular resolution to fully resolve the inner parts of the disk. These results may suggest that some disks around Group II HAeBe stars have cavities of large grains as well. Further ALMA observations of Group II sources are needed to discern how commonly cavities occur in this class of objects, as well as to reveal their possible origins.
A Quasi-experimental Comparison of Econometric Models for Health Care Expenditures

Individual health care expenditures have complex non-normal distributions with severe positive skewness and leptokurtosis. These features present severe challenges to reliable modeling of expenditures for prediction purposes. We compare a variety of methods using quasi-experimental techniques. Our quasi-experiments combine the distributional realism of actual data on health care expenditures with the reliability of Monte Carlo experimental results. We find that models based on Gamma densities predict substantially better than models based on linear regression with and without transformation of the dependent variable. Models based on finite mixtures of Gamma densities show further improvement in predictive properties.
Antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of the photothermal therapy using gold nanorods against seven different bacterial strains

The objective of this work was to determine the bactericidal and antibiofilm activities of gold nanorods (AuNRs) using plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT) against oral microorganisms. AuNRs were synthesized by the seed and growth solution method and the gold nanoclusters were characterized with a size of 33.2 nm ± 2.23 length and 7.33 nm ± 1.60 width. The efficacy of PPTT related to its temperature was done reaching 67°C. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericide concentration (MBC) of AuNRs and AuNRs PPTT were determined against Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus salivarius, and Escherichia coli growth. The antibiofilm activity of AuNRs was explored by fluorescence microscopy. After experimental analyses, AuNRs PPTT shows better results in MICs and MBCs, when it was compared with AuNRs alone. The laser employed to activate the AuNRs had no antibacterial effect against oral microbes. The MICs and MBCs values were higher for S. aureus and E. coli and lower against S. oralis. Surprisingly, the AuNRs alone presented a high antibiofilm activity, inhibiting the biofilm formation of S. mutans. Altogether, these results strongly suggest that AuNRs could be an interesting option to control oral biofilms.
The Effect of Branchless Banking Strategy on the Financial Performance of Commercial Banks in Kenya

The Banking sector acts as the life blood of modern trade and economic development. Commercial banks influence, facilitate and integrate the economic activities like resources mobilization, poverty elimination, production, and distribution of public finance. The financial performance of commercial banks has great implications in the financial sector and in the country at large, and will still remain an important subject of concern by all the stakeholders in the banking industry. In the last two decades, a lot of banking innovation has taken place in order to improve commercial banks financial performance. Branchless banking which involves the use of agency banking and electronic banking channels in the distribution of banking products and services is one such innovation. This study purpose was to evaluate the effect of branchless banking on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The specific objectives of the study were to analyze the individual effects of agency banking and electronic banking channels on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya and the combined effect of both agency and electronic banking on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study adopted an exploratory research design. A survey of all the 42 licensed commercial banks in Kenya was done. Both primary and secondary data on branchless banking and financial performance of banks was obtained from the individual commercial banks, Central Bank of Kenya banking annual supervision reports respectively. Return on Assets (ROA) was used as the main indicator of commercial banks financial performance. The amount of investment in agency and electronic banking was used as indicator for agency and electronic banking. Data analysis was done using SPSS and STATA statistical softwares. Descriptive statistics, diagnostic tests and tests of hypothesis were done. Data was presented using tables and charts. Study findings indicated that when used in isolation; both agency and electronic banking had a significant negative effect on the financial performance of commercial banks at 5 percent significance level. However, when agency and electronic banking channels were used together as a multichannel strategy, they had a significant positive effect on bank’s financial performance at 5 percent significance level. The study recommends that for positive returns, commercial banks should invest in both agency and electronic banking as a multichannel strategy since these channels are complimentary to each other.
Supply chain sustainability: the key role of trust and suppliers’ performance

Does sustainable supply management (SSM) (i.e., supplier monitoring and collaboration) contribute more to supply chain sustainability compared to sustainable process management (SPM) (i.e., management system and certifications)? Does the improvement of suppliers’ sustainability performance contribute significantly to a firm’s sustainability performance? Does trust have significant implications for supply chain sustainability? To provide an answer a conceptual framework has been developed and tested by applying the PLS methodology on a sample of 71 firms. Results show that SPM enables SSM and impacts firms’ sustainability performance. Further, in presence of trust, SSM impacts suppliers’ sustainability performance and, indirectly, a firm’s sustainability footprint.

New Terrain in Youth Development : The Promise of a Social Justice Approach

POPULAR NOTIONS OF URBAN YOUTH HAVE LED THE PUBLIC TO BELIEVE THAT YOUNG people create more problems than possibilities. This idea is most evident in public policy that tends to view them as delinquents, criminals, and the cause of general civic problems. For example, in California, the passage of the Juvenile Justice Crime Bill (Proposition 21), which allows courts to try juveniles as adults, and other similar measures across the nation demonstrate how public policy reflects a fear of urban youth. Central to these initiatives is the notion that young people, particularly urban youth of color, are a menace to society and therefore need to be controlled and contained. The “get tough on youth” crime discourse has turned our attention from the powerful social forces and structural barriers that create and maintain problems to explanations of group behavior. As a result, researchers and practitioners have not paid serious attention to the impact of racism, the influence of poverty, and the effect of unemployment and instead have favored explanations of urban youth problems that focus on individual and/ or group pathologies. The limits of current youth development models are bound by an inability to examine the complex social, economic, and political forces that bear on the lives of urban youth. A discussion of these forces is particularly important for youth who struggle with issues of identity, racism, sexism, police brutality, and poverty that are supported by unjust economic policies. For example, in 1997, although minority youth represent only 34% of the U.S. population, they comprised 62% of incarcerated youth. Additionally, African American youth are six times more
