A Modeling Study of the Impact of Tropical Instability Waves on the Heat Budget of the Eastern Equatorial Pacific

A numerical simulation is used to investigate the mixed layer heat balance of the tropical Pacific Ocean including the equatorial cold tongue and the region of vortices associated with tropical instability waves (TIWs). The study is motivated by a need to quantify the effects that TIWs have on the climatological heat budget of the cold tongue mixed layer; there has been some discrepancy between observations indicating very large equatorward heat transport by TIWs and models that disagree on the full three-dimensional budget. Validation of the model reveals that the TIW-induced circulation patterns are realistic but may have amplitudes about 15% weaker than those in the observations. The SST budget within tropical instabilities is first examined in a frame of reference moving with the associated tropical instability vortices (TIVs). Zonal advection of temperature anomalies and meridional advection of temperature by current anomalies dominate horizontal advection. These effects strongly heat the cold cusps and slightly cool the downwelling areas located at the leading edge of the vortices. Cooling by vertical mixing is structured at the vortex scale and almost compensates for horizontal advective heating in the cold cusps. In contrast to some previous studies, TIW-induced vertical advection is found to be negligible in the SST budget. Cooling by this term is only significant below the mixed layer. The effect of TIWs on the climatological heat budget is then investigated for the region bounded by 2°S–6°N, 160°–90°W, where instabilities are most active. TIWinduced horizontal advection leads to a warming of 0.84°C month 1 , which is of the same order as the 0.77°C month 1 warming effect of atmospheric fluxes, while the mean currents and vertical mixing cool the upper ocean by 0.59°C month 1 and 1.06°C month 1 , respectively. The cooling effect of TIW-induced vertical advection is also negligible in the long-term surface layer heat budget and only becomes significant below the mixed layer. The results above, and in particular the absence of cancellation between horizontal and vertical TIW-induced eddy advection, are robust in three other sensitivity experiments involving different mixing parameterizations and increased vertical resolution.
Development and evaluation of a new paradigm for the assessment of anxiety-disorder-specific interpretation bias using picture stimuli

An important factor in cognitive theories of anxiety disorders is the way in which information is processed. Findings support the existence of a biased information-processing style in anxious children. So far, cognitive biases in children with anxiety disorders are typically assessed as a general phenomenon. Thus, there is a lack of studies in children focusing on anxiety-disorder-specific interpretation bias. A new forced choice paradigm using anxiety-disorder-specific material was developed. Pictures illustrating separation and social situations were carefully generated and evaluated in a pre-study. In a school sample of 265 children the paradigm was investigated. The pictures were able to trigger emotional response and the paradigm demonstrated good internal consistency, and construct validity. Results clearly indicate evidence for content-specificity of the materials. Furthermore, preliminary results suggest a disorder-specific interpretation bias.

Scanning electron microscopic study of the tongue in golden-headed lion tamarins, Leontopithecus chrysomelas (Callithrichidae: Primates)

Leontopithecus is the largest genus of Callithrichidae, occupying isolated remnants of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. The objective of this study was to investigate the ultrastructure of the dorsum of the tongue of golden-headed lion tamarins. Tongues of ten adult lion tamarins kept in captivity at the Center of Primatology of Rio de Janeiro (CPRJ-FEEMA) were analyzed under scanning electron microscopy. The three vallate papillae were distributed in a V shape, and each papilla was surrounded by a deep sulcus and an external pad; the medial papilla showed a round shape and the lateral one was elliptical. The filiform papillae were shaped as a crown or as finger-like papillae, and were distributed throughout the tongue, including the margins, except for the posterior region. The fungiform papillae were scattered among the filiform papillae, in a disperse manner, from the apex to the lateral vallate papillae. The foliate papillae had a typical ultrastructure, with folds that ranged in number from 1 to 3. With respect to vallate papillae, we identified the microridge and pore pattern on its surface. Further studies are required to confirm the hypotheses on the ultrastructural aspects described for golden-headed lion tamarins.
A cross‐cultural examination of the relationships among human resource management practices and

Previous research has shown that human resource management (HRM) practices vary across cultures. However, research has seldom empirically compared the effects of various HRM practices on firm-level or individual-level outcome variables across cultures. Drawing upon psychological contract theory and the literature on cultural values, the present study examined the effects of three organizational-level HRM practices on individual organizational commitment in a survey of 2,424 individuals in 120 organizations located in four countries and three industries. Based upon the GLOBE study, we classified the four countries into two groups—high versus low institutional collectivism. The results of our hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analyses found significant differences in the effects of organizational-level HRM on individual organizational commitment across cultures for two of the three HRM practices included in our model: training and teamwork. We also found partial support for differences across cultures for the effects of the third HRM practice: employee involvement in decision making. Overall, our results support the utility of theoretical and empirical models that address multiple levels of analyses to better understand the mechanisms through which the HRM-performance link takes place across national cultures.
A comparison of unit root test criteria

During the past fifteen years, the ordinary least squares estimator and the corresponding pivotal statistic have been widely used for testing the unit root hypothesis in autoregressive processes. Recently, several new criteriia, based on the maximum likelihood estimators and weighted symmetric estimators, have been proposed. In this article, we describe several different test criteria. Results from a Monte Carlo study that compares the power of the different criteria indicates that the new tests are more powerful against the stationary alternative. Of the procedures studied, the weighted symmetric estimator and the unconditional maximum likelihood estimator provide the most powerful tests against the stationary alternative. As an illustration, we analyze the quarterly change in busine;ss investories.
A Critical Psychology of the Postcolonial: The Mind of Apartheid

Book synopsis: An oft-neglected element of postcolonial thought is the explicitly psychological dimension of many of its foundational texts. This unprecedented volume explores the relation between these two disciplinary domains by treating the work of a variety of anti-colonial authors as serious psychological contributions to the theorization of racism and oppression. This approach demonstrates the pertinence of postcolonial thought for critical social psychology and opens up novel perspectives on a variety of key topics in social psychology. These include: -The psychology of embodiment and racialization -Resistance strategies to oppression -'Extra-discursive’ facets of racism -The unconscious dimension of stereotypes -The intersection of psychological and symbolic modalities of power In addition, the book makes a distinctive contribution to the field of postcolonial studies by virtue of its eclectic combination of authors drawn from anti-apartheid, psychoanalytic and critical social theory traditions, including Homi Bhabha, Steve Biko, J.M. Coetzee, Frantz Fanon, Julia Kristeva, Chabani Manganyi and Slavoj Zizek. The South African focus serves to emphasize the ongoing historical importance of the anti-apartheid struggle for today’s globalized world. A Critical Psychology of the Postcolonial is an invaluable text for social psychology and sociology students enrolled in courses on racism or cultural studies. It will also appeal to postgraduates, academics and anyone interested in psychoanalysis in relation to societal and political issues.
Searching and oviposition behavior of aphidophagous hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae): a review

Synthese bibliographique sur le comportement de recherche et de ponte des femelles de syrphes aphidiphages (Diptere: Syrphidae). Les syrphes aphidiphages utilisent deux mecanismes differents au cours de leur recherche et comportement de ponte, un mecanisme oriente visant a trouver une source de nourriture qui assure a la femelle d’avoir l’energie necessaire pour sa mobilite et la maturation de ses organes reproducteurs, et l’autre visant a trouver un site de ponte propice. Les femelles de syrphes predateurs ont une forte mobilite qui leur permet de distribuer les œufs sur de larges territoires, et de localiser les colonies de pucerons plus tot dans la saison que les autres predateurs aphidiphages. Le resultat net est que la plupart des œufs de syrphe ont tendance a etre deposes a proximite de colonies de pucerons. Cependant, le choix du site d’oviposition par les femelles peut etre crucial pour la survie larvaire parce que les larves de syrphe ne peuvent pas se deplacer sur de longues distances pour la recherche de nourriture. C’est pourquoi les femelles gravides devraient montrer une preference pour les sites presentant une grande valeur nutritive et un faible risque de predation et de competition. Pour les syrphes aphidiphages, plusieurs facteurs influencent le choix du site de ponte, parmi lesquels l’habitat, la plante hote, l’espece de puceron, la taille de la colonie de pucerons, les substances semiochimiques emises par les pucerons et leur association avec les plantes-hotes, la presence de competiteurs intra- ou interspecifiques et l'âge de la femelle. Dans cette revue bibliographique, nous recensons les informations disponibles sur ces facteurs afin de comprendre les mecanismes de decision des femelles de syrphes predateurs au cours du comportement de ponte, ce qui constitue une etape importante avant d’utiliser ces predateurs dans la lutte biologique contre les pucerons.
Heritability Studies of Fruit Related Traits in Solanum Lycopersicum L. Germplasm

Studies were conducted for the estimation of variability in 20 tomato varieties/hybrids for fruit length, fruit width, pericarp thickness, fruit firmness at pink stage and fruit firmness at red stage. Analysis of variance revealed significant variation in tomato germplasm for all quality traits. Heritability estimates were higher for all the characters, whilst genetic advance was high only for fruit width and fruit length. Estimates of heritability and genetic advance for these traits suggest that direct selection may be more effective, and the plant material for other characters can be improved through hybridization and selective breeding.

Antioxidant Activity of Extracts of Selected Algae from the Persian Gulf, Iran

In vitro antioxidant activity of Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta) and three brown seaweeds belonging to the division Phaeophyta were evaluated. The species Padina pavonica, Colpomenia sinuosa, Cystoseira myrica and U. lactuca were collected during low tide between March and June 2012 from the coastline of the Persian Gulf (Hormozgan and Bushehr provinces), Iran. Ethyl acetate, n-Hexane and methanol extracts were prepared. The ethyl acetate extract of Ulva lactuca showed the highest radical scavenging activity (IC50 62.13 μg/ml) in comparison with brown seaweeds, when tested by the DPPH (1-diphenyl-2picrylhydrazyl). Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) was used as a reference. This study indicated that the ethyl acetate extract of seaweeds had better antioxidant effect in comparison with methanol and n-Hexane extracts. Additionally, the antioxidant activities of ethyl acetate extracts of all the four seaweeds exhibited dose dependency and increased with increasing concentration of the extract. Since, these algal species are easily available in coastal waters of the Persian Gulf, their antioxidant potential make them suitable candidate as ingredients in food and pharmaceutical industries.
Gender Equality in Academia: Intentions and Consequences

Gender inequality persists in academia. This review article examines how universities around the world act on gender inequalities through gender equality measures. The analytical hypothesis is that gender equality measures are a response to how problems of inequality are understood and, as such, they also reveal why inequalities are sustained in academia. A wide variety of approaches are in use, but this article focuses on three of the most common: gender mainstreaming, affirmative action, and mentoring programs. The review recognized a global pattern of gender discrimination in academia as well as differences between countries and disciplines. The article departs from a critical gender-equality approach provided by current feminist research. It concludes that gender equality measures focus mainly on women and men, ignoring intersecting categories of discrimination, and that weaknesses in implementing meritocratic practices play a key role in upholding inequalities. The article suggests that critical feminist knowledge can help lead the way toward more challenging perspectives on gender equality in academia, in which relations of power, local and national contextualizations, as well as intersecting categories of discrimination can be made visible.
In Situ Carbon Dioxide Capture During Biomass Fluidized Bed Gasification

The necessity to contain CO2 emissions has been leading to a growing interest in renewable and CO2 free energy sources. So far, co-gasification of coal and biomass is appealing for the production of a valuable energy or chemical vector as syngas. However, depending on the specific end-use, further treatments of the producer gas are required in order to reduce impurities including tars, dust and inorganic substances and/or to adjust the H2/CO/CO2 ratio. In this respect, sorption enhanced water gas shift reaction process with in situ CO2 capture by solid sorbents represents an intensified option for producing a H2-rich product stream. In addition to enhanced H2 production, due to a shift in the key equilibrium reactions of gasification, this process has, in fact, several advantages including: a) the production of a concentrated stream of CO2, suitable for storage (sequestration), as a consequence of the reversibility that generally characterizes these processes. ; b) the exothermic carbonation reaction can supply most of the heat demand of the endothermic gasification reactions; c) particles sorbents, such as limestone, dolomite, olivine and high-iron solids, show some catalytic activity for tar reforming and cracking. The paper reports on the mutual influence in the reactor between coal/biomass steam-oxygen gasification and CO2 separation by means of a chemical sorbent. Experimental tests in a BFB (Bubbling Fluidized Bed) gasifier demonstrate that using a CaO-alumina mixed bed the H2/CO ratio can be strongly enhanced, provided that a good control of the temperature is assured because of the high thermal character of the carbonation. The use of CaO-alumina mixed bed offers the advantage of reducing the tar concentration and prevent the bed agglomeration typically observed when olive husk and quartzite sand are used.
Maximal regularity for a class of integro-differential equations with infinite delay in Banach spaces

We use Fourier multiplier theorems to establish maximal regularity results for a class of integro-differential equations with infinite delay in Banach spaces. Concrete equations of this type arise in viscoelasticity theory. Results are obtained for periodic solutions in the vector valued Lebesgue and Besov spaces. An application to semilinear equations is considered.

A Dyadic Model of Customer Orientation: Mediation and Moderation Effects

This research distinguishes between employees' customer orientation (ECO) and customer orientation as perceived by customers (COPC) to investigate the contingencies of the relationship between these two constructs. Drawing on emotional contagion theory and using a dyadic field study design, the authors examine whether ECO affects COPC, as well as whether the link between ECO and COPC might be mediated by employees' authentic emotional displays. They also examine service scripts and the accuracy with which customers detect employees' authentic emotional displays as moderators of this mediated link. The findings confirm the important role of ECO as an influence on COPC and provide evidence that employees' authentic emotional displays mediate the effects of ECO. In addition, service scripts and customers' detection accuracy have moderating effects.
On the origin of asymmetric fission of actinides

Background: Nuclear fission of most actinides near the valley of stability is dominated by asymmetric modes with a heavy fragment charge distribution centred around $Z\approx52-55$ protons. Although spherical shell effects in the $^{132}$Sn are often considered as a driver for the formation of the heavy fragment, a convincing explanation for the origin of actinide asymmetric fission has been lacking so far. Purpose: To propose an explanation based on the couplings between fission dynamics and octupole deformations in the fragments, with the octupole correlations in the $^{144}$Ba region as a driver to asymmetric split. Method: Constrained and time-dependent Hartree-Fock microscopic calculations with dynamical pairing correlations have been performed for a series of actinides to compute expectation values of proton and neutron numbers in the fission fragments, their total kinetic energy (TKE), and their octupole and quadrupole deformations. Results: Deformed shell gaps are present at $Z=52$ and 56 in $^{142}$Xe and are particularly stable against octupole deformation. Heavy fission fragments are almost exclusively produced with $\langle Z \rangle\approx52-56$ and a significant octupole deformation at scission. Fragments with $\langle Z \rangle\approx54-56$ are more deformed, leading to a smaller TKE than $\langle Z \rangle\approx52$ fragments, in good agreement with experimental observations. Conclusions: Asymmetric fission of actinides is induced by octupole softness in the $^{144}$Ba region and not by spherical shell effects in the $^{132}$Sn region, except in symmetric fission of fermium isotopes in which both fragments are close to Sn.
Sanitation practice and associated factors among slum dwellers residing in urban slums of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: A community based cross-sectional study

Attaining sustainable sanitation in urban slum community is still an issue and continues to be a gap. Furthermore, factors associated with sanitation practices among slum dwellers has not been yet well explored in many low income countries, such as Ethiopia. This study was designed to determine the sanitation practice and associated factors among slum dwellers residing in urban slums of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A community based cross-sectional study was employed. The systematic random sampling technique was used to select households from the slum community in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A pre-tested structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics were computed. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify associated factors. A total of 335 slum dwellers were involved in the study, of which 64.5% of the households use unimproved sanitation facility and 78.3% of the sanitation facilities were in poor condition. Less than half, 46.9% (95%CI: 41.5, 52.2%) of the slum dwellers had good sanitation practices. Having an improved sanitation facility (AOR= 7.27, 95%CI: 3.09, 17.05), having pour-flush type of sanitation facility (AOR= 4.32, 95%CI: 1.99, 9.39), presence of solid waste collection container inside the house compound (AOR=4.26, 95%CI: 2.02, 8.97), and good hygienic knowledge (AOR=4.37, 95%CI: 1.87, 10.24) were factors associated with good sanitation practice. Poor sanitation practices and unhygienic sanitation facilities were widely reported by slum dwellers and acute in the urban slum of Addis Ababa. Escalating household improved sanitation facilities along with strong health promotion programs on sanitation and hygiene practice is recommended. Key words: Urban sanitation, sanitation practice, hygiene knowledge, informal settlements, slum, Kirkos sub-city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
