MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO STUDY MIGMATITES: ORIGIN AND TECTONIC HISTORY OF THE NASON RIDGE MIGMATITIC GNEISS, WENATCHEE BLOCK, CASCADES CRYSTALLINE CORE, WA, USA

The Nason Ridge Migmatitic Gneiss of the Cascades Core is a migmatitic unit comprising concordant pelitic schist and gneiss, amphibolite, and tonalite gneiss, and cross cutting tonalite, quartz-rich granitoid, and pegmatite. There are several generations of 'igneous' lithologies (leucosomes = tonalite, quartz-rich granitoid, and pegmatite) some of which are concordant; others clearly crosscut the strongly deformed host rocks. The host rocks are interpreted to be Chiwaukum Schist with metasedimentary (pelitic schist and some gneiss) and metavolcanic(amphibolites) origins. Metamorphic fabric in the Nason Ridge Migmatitic Gneiss is characterized by preferred orientation of platy minerals (continuous schistosity), compositional layering, mineral lineations (elongate grains and grain aggregates), and non-coaxial deformational features (asymmetric augen, grain offsets,rotated porphyroblasts, etc.). Compositional layering is characterized by quartz-plagioclase lenses and patches (mm to cm scale) and by large variations in biotite content. This composite fabric is faulted and folded by mesoscopic structures. The most strongly foliated leucosomes (gneissic tonalites) are generally concordant with the regional trend of foliation, while weakly foliated leucosomes (tonalites) and pegmatite veins crosscut host rock and tonalite gneisses. Thin melanosome layers (biotiteand amphibole schist) are developed locally around quartz - plagioclase lenses and patches. Metamorphism in the Nason Ridge Migmatitic Gneiss and the nearby Chiwaukum Schist likely peaked after intrusion of the Mt. Stuart Batholith ca. 91-94 Ma. Peak temperatures and pressures for the Nason Ridge Migmatitic Gneiss in the Wenatchee Ridge and Pacific Crest areas were 650 - 720 °C and 6 - 9 kbar with a pressure increase of £ 2.0 kbar during metamorphism. Thermodynamic modeling indicates that hydrous partial melting would begin at ca. 660 °C and is relatively pressure independent. Field and petrographic observations, mineral chemistry and thermobarometry, and bulk rock chemistry and thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibria (pseudosections) applied to the Nason Ridge 235Migmatitic Gneiss indicate that at least some of the leucosome bodies were derived by local partial melting. The clearly intrusive character and the sharp contacts between some tonalite leucosome bodies and host rock support an externally derived origin for these tonalite melts. However, some of these bodies may have originated from partial melting of the host Chiwaukum Schist and traveled a short distance before crystallization, or have been modified by deformation so as to obscure textural evidence for local derivation. Results are compatible with derivation of leucosome rocks in the Nason Ridge Migmatitic Gneiss from two non-exclusive processes: partial melting of the host rock and intrusion of externally derived tonalite melts.
Weed populations of winter wheat as affected by tillage and nitrogen

Kneževic M. , Stipesevic B. , Kneževic I. , Loncaric Z. : Weed populations of winter wheat as affected by tillage and nitrogen. Ekologia (Bratislava), Vol. 26, No. 2, p. , 2007. A three-year study was conducted for winter wheat after soybean on humogley soil in north-eastern Croatia to evaluate the effects of five tillage systems (CT – conventional tillage with mouldboard ploughing; DH – disk harrowing; MT – multitiller; RT – rotosem; PR – mouldboard ploughing + rotosem) and four nitrogen (N) levels (0, 140, 170, 200 kg N.ha –1 ) on weed species composition, plant density, and plant dry weight in the absence of herbicide. Annual species of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. , Chenopodium album L. , Galium aparine L. , Polygonum lapathifolium L. and Stellaria media L. were dominated in all three years. The density of total weeds was significantly affected by tillage and it ranged across from 9.6 plants after RT to 28.2 plants.m–2 after PR tillage. No significant differences in total dry weight were found between CT and RT, which had the lowest dry weight from 17.4 g and 19.6 g.m–2, respectively. An increased level of applied nitrogen tended to significantly decrease total weed density from 21.0 plants at N0 to 13.6 plants.m –2 at N200. In a three-year average, no significant differences in weed dry weight were observed between N170 and N200 levels which gave approximately 21% and 16% higher dry weight compared to N140 level, respectively. No significant differences in dry weight of Galium aparine populations were found between all three nitrogen levels after CT and RT tillage treatments. Total weed density and weed dry weight were poorly correlated within all tillage x nitrogen combinations (r 2 values of 0.10 to 0.48). That suggests that tillage and N fertilisation levels can be utilized as a strategy in weed control management for winter wheat on humogley soil.
CPLFD-GDPT5: High-resolution gridded daily precipitation and temperature data set for two largest Polish river basins

Abstract. The CHASE-PL (Climate change impact assessment for selected sectors in Poland) Forcing Data–Gridded Daily Precipitation & Temperature Dataset–5 km (CPLFD-GDPT5) consists of 1951–2013 daily minimum and maximum air temperatures and precipitation totals interpolated onto a 5 km grid based on daily meteorological observations from the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW-PIB; Polish stations), Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD, German and Czech stations), and European Climate Assessment and Dataset (ECAD) and National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration–National Climatic Data Center (NOAA-NCDC) (Slovak, Ukrainian, and Belarusian stations). The main purpose for constructing this product was the need for long-term aerial precipitation and temperature data for earth-system modelling, especially hydrological modelling. The spatial coverage is the union of the Vistula and Oder basins and Polish territory. The number of available meteorological stations for precipitation and temperature varies in time from about 100 for temperature and 300 for precipitation in the 1950s up to about 180 for temperature and 700 for precipitation in the 1990s. The precipitation data set was corrected for snowfall and rainfall under-catch with the Richter method. The interpolation methods were kriging with elevation as external drift for temperatures and indicator kriging combined with universal kriging for precipitation. The kriging cross validation revealed low root-mean-squared errors expressed as a fraction of standard deviation (SD): 0.54 and 0.47 for minimum and maximum temperature, respectively, and 0.79 for precipitation. The correlation scores were 0.84 for minimum temperatures, 0.88 for maximum temperatures, and 0.65 for precipitation. The CPLFD-GDPT5 product is consistent with 1971–2000 climatic data published by IMGW-PIB. We also confirm good skill of the product for hydrological modelling by performing an application using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) in the Vistula and Oder basins.

The influence of future time perspective on work engagement and job performance: the role of job crafting

ABSTRACT This two-wave study aimed to examine future time perspective (FTP) as an antecedent of job crafting, and in turn job crafting as a mediator in associations between FTP and work outcomes. Based on the lifespan socio-emotional selectivity theory, we expected that open-ended and limited FTP would evoke different forms of job crafting, which in turn would be associated with changes in work engagement and job performance. In line with our expectations, we found that employees whose open-ended FTP increased over a 1-year time period also crafted more job resources and challenging job demands such that their job provided them with more opportunities for knowledge acquisition, which in turn resulted in increased levels of work engagement and job performance. However, contrary to our expectations, employees whose limited FTP increased over the 1-year time period did not proactively reduce their hindering job demands. Hence, although crafting fewer hindering job demands was directly related to decreased levels of work outcomes as expected, we found no indirect effect of changes in limited FTP on changes in work engagement and performance via changes in this job crafting behaviour. These findings have important implications for the literature on job crafting and FTP.
Nanoplasmonic Sensing of Transition Metal Catalyst Nanoparticle Oxidation States

Abstract Catalysis is an important and key part of many processes both in fundamental research and in the applied chemical industry. The oxidation and reduction of tran- sition metal catalysts are common reactions that affect the catalytic performance of the corresponding nanoparticles. Hence it is very important to understand the role of the oxidation state in a catalytic process, as well as to control it in order to maximize catalyst performance towards the formation of the desired product(s). In this study copper and cobalt nanoparticle catalysts of sizes 67-190 nm were stud- ied in situ with direct and indirect plasmonic sensing in temperature-programmed oxidation and reduction experiments. The experimental study proved, together with computational simulations with the Modified Long Wavelength Approxima- tion, that the oxidation of copper yields a distinct change of the optical spectrum of the nanoparticles, and their exposure to 2 vol% O 2 in 200 ◦ C will mainly form Cu 2 O. The oxidation and reduction process of copper was also found to be reversible, and the temperature for the two processes was found to slightly decrease over the reac- tion cycles, due to structural changes of the particles. The outcome of the temperature-programmed oxidation and reduction experiments of cobalt nanoparticles was in several ways different from the copper ones. The most significant difference was that a broad dramatic change in extinction during the reduction process for the temperatures around 310-360 ◦ C was found. It was concluded that the effect was a combinatory result of a martensitic transformation, which simultaneously induced an increased oxidation rate of the cobalt oxides Co2O3 or CoO, as well as gives rise to a decrease of the conductivity.

Acceptability of self-taken vaginal for early detection of HPV DNA in women with limited access to health services: An alternative to increase the coverage in a state of the Mexican Republic

Objective: To determine the acceptability of self-taken vaginal to detect HPV DNA in women living in marginalized areas as an alternative to increase the coverage of health services. Methods: A cross-sectional study from March 2009 to April 2011 in 20 municipalities with the highest marginalization in the Huasteca Region of the State of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. We applied a non-probabilistic quota sampling, which was composed of 608 women aged 25 years and more. The recruitment of women was performed through loudspeakers, leaflets and community meetings. A survey consisted of two sections: socio-demographic data and risk factors, which was validated by construct. We checked the reliability by Cronbach’s Alpha (0.90). Acceptability was determined by considering three indicators: perceived comfort, acceptability of the test and the reasons of acceptability. Results: 41.4% of this woman had 31-40 years. 70.5% were married. 35.3% finished high school and 6.7% had not education experience. 67.4% began their sexual life at 18 years or younger. 85.5% preferred self-collection and 14.5% Pap. These results show a clear acceptability of self-making on the other screening method. Regarding the reason for the preference is that 99.4% of women prefer self-take because they feel more comfortable compared to 0.6% who prefer the Papanicolaou. On the perception of comfort 91% mentioned feel very comfortable with self-making compared with 9% of Pap. There was a statisti cally significant correlation between preference reasons that women have to choose the screening test and the perception of comfort (X2p = 0.000). Conclusions: The self-taken vaginal HPV DNA detection is a well accepted method in women who live in marginalized areas; therefore, it is an alternative that can be considered in the uterine cancer detection testing program.
Episodic Salutary Experiences (ESE): A New Type of Positive Affect and its Relationship to Physical Health

Prior work has shown that positive affect is related to and can foster physical health. Recently, a subtype of positive affect has been identified, known as episodic salutary experiences (ESE). These experiences seem to be a type of positive affect or, alternatively, may produce a type of affective state that has not previously been studied. ESE is defined as spontaneous episodes of inner peace and lack of conflict that are noticeably different from one’s normal state. A cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine if ESE is associated with physical health, and if so, which aspects of ESE are most close related to physical health. Measures of ESE, physical health, and potential correlates of the two primary variables were administered to a sample of participants recruited through online procedures. The results partially supported the ESE-health association and indicated that the experience of serenity during ESE probably contributes to the association in a central way.
A Parallel Multi-block Method for the Unsteady Vorticity-velocity Equations

This paper provides a numerical method for solving twoand three-dimensional unsteady incompressible flows. The vorticity-velocity formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations is considered, employing the vorticity transport equation and a second-order Poisson equation for the velocity. Second-order-accurate centred finite differences on a staggered grid are used for the space discretization. The vorticity equation is discretized in time using a fully implicit three-level scheme. At each physical time level, a dual-time stepping technique is used to solve the coupled system of non linear algebraic equations by various efficient relaxation schemes. Steady flows are computed by dropping the physical time derivative and converging the pseudo-time-dependent problem. A domain decomposition of the physical space is also employed: the multi-block algorithm allows one to handle multiply-connected domains and complex configurations and, more importantly, to solve each grid-block on a single processor of a parallel platform. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed methodology is demonstrated by solving well known two-dimensional flow problems. Then, the steady and unsteady flows inside a cubic cavity are considered and the numerical results are compared with experimental and numerical data.
CONDITIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BETA AND RETURNS: A CASE STUDY OF THE BELGRADE STOCK EXCHANGE

This paper examines the applicability of the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) and conditional CAPM in the Belgrade Stock Exchange (BSE) in order to determine whether both the CAPM and conditional CAPM can be reliably applied to this emerging market. The returns were collected from the official BSE website for the period from January 2010 to December 2014. Time-series data were then collected for 60 monthly returns of the selected stocks, which is a common practice in model testing. The time-series data were observed for 60 months, which is long enough for all short-term shocks to be neutralized and for beta coefficients to be adjusted to their long-term values. The results of this study indicate that both the CAPM and conditional CAPM cannot be reliably applied in the BSE. The paper suggests that beta cannot be reliably used as a tool for explaining cross-sectional differences in the returns in the BSE and as a measure of market risk.
Sea ice as a source of sea salt aerosol to Greenland ice cores: a model-based study

Abstract. Growing evidence suggests that the sea ice surface is an important source of sea salt aerosol and this has significant implications for polar climate and atmospheric chemistry. It also suggests the potential to use ice core sea salt records as proxies for past sea ice extent. To explore this possibility in the Arctic region, we use a chemical transport model to track the emission, transport, and deposition of sea salt from both the open ocean and the sea ice, allowing us to assess the relative importance of each. Our results confirm the importance of sea ice sea salt (SISS) to the winter Arctic aerosol burden. For the first time, we explicitly simulate the sea salt concentrations of Greenland snow, achieving values within a factor of two of Greenland ice core records. Our simulations suggest that SISS contributes to the winter maxima in sea salt characteristic of ice cores across Greenland. However, a north–south gradient in the contribution of SISS relative to open-ocean sea salt (OOSS) exists across Greenland, with 50 % of winter sea salt being SISS at northern sites such as NEEM (77° N), while only 10 % of winter sea salt is SISS at southern locations such as ACT10C (66° N). Our model shows some skill at reproducing the inter-annual variability in sea salt concentrations for 1991–1999, particularly at Summit where up to 62 % of the variability is explained. Future work will involve constraining what is driving this inter-annual variability and operating the model under different palaeoclimatic conditions.
CHIRAL AND DECONFINEMENT TRANSITIONS IN QCD WITH THE HIGHLY IMPROVED STAGGERED QUARK (HISQ) ACTION

We report preliminary results on the chiral and deconnement aspects of the QCD transition atnite temperature using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action on lattices with temporal extent of Nτ =6 and 8. The chiral aspects of the transition are studied in terms of quark condensates and the disconnected chiral susceptibility. We study the deconnement transition in terms of the strange quark number susceptibility and the renormalized Polyakov loop. Wend reasonably good agreement between our results and the recent continuum extrapolated results obtained with the stout staggered quark action.
Global Public Economics: Public Goods and Externalities

Cet article etend l’analyse normative des biens publics et des externalites a un environnement international. La premiere partie considere l’allocation optimale d’un bien public glo­bal. Le caractere desirable de l’efficacite productive globale depend de l’existence de transferts forfaitaires internatio­naux. En l’absence de ces transferts et avec une fonction de bien-etre, sociale egalitariste, le fardeau supporte par un pays pauvre en raison de la production de biens publics globaux devrait etre moins lourd que celui implique par l’efficacite productive. La seconde partie de l’article analyse les externalites globales et montre qu’une imposition inter­nationale uniforme a la Pigou ne peut etre optimale qu’en presence de transferts forfaitaires eux-memes optimaux.
Polypore Communities in Broadleaved Boreal Forests

The cover and extent of boreal broadleaved forests have been decreasing due to modern forest management practices and fire suppression. As decomposers of woody material, polypores are ecologically important ecosystem engineers. The ecology and conservation biology of polypores have been studied intensively in boreal coniferous forests. However, only a few studies have focused on the species living on broadleaved trees. To increase knowledge on this species group we conducted polypore surveys in 27 broadleaved forests and 303 forest compartments (539 ha) on the southern boreal zone in Finland and measured dead wood and forest characteristics. We detected altogether 98 polypore species, of which 13 are red-listed in Finland. 60% of the recorded species are primarily associated with broadleaved trees. The number of species in a local community present in a broadleaved forest covered approximately 50 species, of which 30–40 were primarily associated with broadleaved trees. The size of the inventoried area explained 67% of the variation in the species richness, but unlike in previous studies conducted in coniferous forests, dead wood variables as well as forest structure had very limited power in explaining polypore species richness on forest stand level. The compartments occupied by red listed Protomerulius caryae had an especially high volume of living birch, but otherwise the occurrences of red-listed species could not be predicted based on the forest structure.
COMBINED MICROFINANCE: A CONCEPTUAL APPROACH REVEALING RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE GAPS1

Globally, many microfinance schemes (MFIs) are gradually shifting their focus from loans-only to multiple financial products, including insurance and savings. This phenomenon, which could be described as combined microfinance (CMF), has received relatively little research attention by recent literature despite its increasing relevance. This paper builds on a historical literature review on savings mobilisation and recent work on microinsurance and microcredit. It is a first conceptual attempt to bring forward the characteristics of CMF in the reviewed inclusive financial systems approach to microfinance. It questions the potential effect of CMF on its various stakeholders and highlights possible positive and negative effects on economic and social performance. Policy and donor support have a stake in accessing more evidence on the possible effects of CMF on the intended development outcomes, aiming at both maximizing social and economic results.
Position Control of Pneumatic Actuator Using Self-Regulation Nonlinear PID

The enhancement of nonlinear PID (N-PID) controller for a pneumatic positioning system is proposed to improve the performance of this controller. This is executed by utilizing the characteristic of rate variation of the nonlinear gain that is readily available in N-PID controller. The proposed equation, namely, self-regulation nonlinear function (SNF), is used to reprocess the error signal with the purpose of generating the value of the rate variation, continuously. With the addition of this function, a new self-regulation nonlinear PID (SN-PID) controller is proposed. The proposed controller is then implemented to a variably loaded pneumatic actuator. Simulation and experimental tests are conducted with different inputs, namely, step, multistep, and random waveforms, to evaluate the performance of the proposed technique. The results obtained have been proven as a novel initiative at examining and identifying the characteristic based on a new proposal controller resulting from N-PID controller. The transient response is improved by a factor of 2.2 times greater than previous N-PID technique. Moreover, the performance of pneumatic positioning system is remarkably good under various loads.
