Cognitive Profile in Low, Medium and High Creative Students.

Introduction. The aim of the present work is to advance in the study of creativity-intelligence relationship looking into the students’ cognitive profiles. It is hypothetized that, if creative ideas emerge as result of connecting distant concepts, and a balanced cognitive profile (without signiticant differences between ability levels) can facilitate these distant conections; Then, creative individuals would be characterized by a balanced and flat cognitive profile; lacking valleys and peacks. It is hypothesised that, if creativity occurs as a result of relating distant concepts, a more balanced profile among cognitive abilities –a flat profile – could facilitate a loose relationship between concepts. Therefore, creative individuals would present a cognitive profile with less peaks and troughs. Method. 679 secondary students, aged between 12 and 17 years old (M = 13.86, SD = 1.25), took part in this study. The TTCT and the DAT-5 were used to assess participants’ creativity and cognitive profile, respectively. Students were divided into three groups: those with low, average and high creativity. The cognitive profile of each group was analyzed searching for peaks. Results. Results point out that, contrary to our hypothesis, the cognitive profile of creative individuals is not different from their non-creative peers. Discussion and conclusions. It is possible that the hypothesis of a flatter cognitive profile of highly creative students does not work for a normal population, since students with lower intelligence also tend to show lower creativity. This hypothesis may be useful to explain difer-ences in creativity in students with medium-high intelligence.
Simulating G F D L Predicted Climate Change Impacts on Rice Cropping in Iran

Projected global climate change may have a major influence on crop yield. The likely effects of climate change caused by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels on rice yield in Iran were evaluated using a mechanistic growth model for rice, GSAC-rice, running under a climate change scenario predicted for a doubled-CO2 (2xCO2) atmosphere by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) General Circulation Model (GCM). Simulations were run for two locations with contrasting climates, one in the north (Rasht) and one in the south (Ahwaz) of Iran. GFDL predicted that as a result of doubling CO2 , temperature increases by 4.5 and 4.6 0 C during the rice growing season in Rasht and Ahwaz, respectively. Changes in solar radiation are minor, but rainfall during the rice growing season decreases by 38.8% (102 mm) for Rasht and 68.2% (5.8 mm) for Ahwaz. It was predicted that doubling [CO2] alone increased rice yield by 30%, but that yield decreases by 3.7 and 11.6% for each degree centigrade rise in temperature in Rasht and Ahwaz, respectively. As a result of the combined effect of both doubling [CO2] and the climate change accompanying it (predicted with GFDL), 8% greater rice could be produced in Rasht, but irrigation needs would be increased dramatically by 57%. In Ahwaz (the south of Iran), rice production could be halved and might not even remain a viable option unless plant breeders are able to produce more heat tolerant rice cultivars. It was concluded that rice production in the north and south of the country would change dramatically.
A comparison of length-weight relationship and relative condition factor among three groups of Leiodon cutcutia (Hamilton, 1822) of Diplai Beel (wetland) of Assam, India

The present study reports the length-weight relationship, relative condition factor among adult male, adult female and sub adult group of of Leiodon cutcutia (Hamilton, 1822) of Diplai Beel (wetland) of Assam. The fishes were first separated into two groups-sub adult and adult stage (male and female). The growth performance of length-weight relationship has been found high since the correlation coefficient ‘r’ exhibits a high degree of relationship (0.94 in adult female and 0.93 in both sub adult and adult male) and shows all types growth pattern among different groups where positive allometric correlation (b=3.32) is observed in female adult, negative allometry (b=2.44) in sub adult and very interestingly isometric growth (b=3.00) in male adult. The Kn value for adult male and female of Leiodon cutcutia are 0.87 to 1.35 and 0.78 to 1.26 respectively, whereas in sub adult it is from 0.83 to 1.35.

The Reliability of the Anaerobic Power Dummy Throw Test in High School Wrestlers: A Pilot Study

AP (anaerobic power) output is an important physical characteristic that is required to succeed in sports such as wrestling. The Wingate test is considered the Gold Standard for assessing AP but is not specific to the sport of wrestling. The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of a novel field test known as the LWAPT (Lopez wrestling anaerobic power test) for the assessment of AP. The participants were male high school wrestlers (n = 10, age: 17.0 ± 0.8 yrs, mass: 70.9 ± 10.2 kgs). The participants met on one occasion in order to complete the testing protocol. The protocol initiated with the participants completing a 10-15 minute dynamic WU (warm-up) that included three practice dummy throw attempts (dummy mass = 31.75 kgs). Following the dynamic WU (≈ 5 minutes), the participants performed two trials of the LWAPT. In order to perform the LWAPT, wrestlers stood behind the wrestling dummy in a squat position with legs bent at 45-90 degrees. Next the wrestlers wrapped their arms around the waist of the dummy and on the signal “go” the wrestlers quickly exploded up, lifting the dummy by getting triple extension with the ankles, knees and hips as one would in a power clean. After the wrestler was fully extended, he turned in midair in order to drive the dummy onto its stomach on the ground, where the wrestler was on top of the back of the dummy (a common position after an opponent has been thrown). The participant then repositioned the dummy to the original position to execute another throw. The participants completed as many dummy throws as possible during the one minute trials. The LWAPT trials were separated by 15 minutes. The trial scores were 15.6 ± 2.5 and 17.2 ± 1.5 throws respectively. The interclass and intraclass reliability coefficients were r = 0.84 and ICC = 0.80. The standard error of the measure was SEm = 1.0 throws with 90% confidence limits of UL: 1.7, LL: 0.7. The mean difference between trials was 1.6 ± 1.4 throws (90% confidence limits of UL: 2.4, LL: 0.8). Bland-Altman plots suggested agreement between trials with no evidence of heteroscedasticity. The LWAPT exhibits moderate to high reliability as an assessment of AP. The inclusion of additional dummy throw trials to the assessment protocol may enhance the degree of reliability of the dummy throw test as a measure of AP.
Final report on the supplementary comparison Euromet.M.P-S2 (bilateral comparison) in the pressure range from 30 Pa to 7000 Pa

A bilateral comparison was carried out in order to test the degree of equivalence between the newly established pressure balances of the Czech Metrological Institute and the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). The comparison was carried out without using a transfer standard, but with a differential capacitance diaphragm gauge as an indicator of the small differential pressure between the two pressure balances when the target pressures were generated in the two systems. The Czech Metrological Institute brought its force balanced piston gauge FPG by the DHI company to the site of the PTB pressure balance, which was a Furness Rosenberg system FRS 5 by the Furness company. In the range under comparison from 30 Pa to 7000 Pa full equivalence was obtained with the En value ranging from 0.01 to 0.47. Main text. To reach the main text of this paper, click on Final Report.

Morphology and life cycle of Carybdea morandinii, sp. nov. (Cnidaria), a cubozoan with zooxanthellae and peculiar polyp anatomy

A new species of Cubozoa found in an aquarium at Hagenbecks Tierpark (Zoo), Hamburg, Germany, is described herein as Carybdea morandinii. The species is distinguished from all known cnidarians in the anatomy of its polyp stage. The gastric cavity of the cubopolyp is divided horizontally into two chambers by a shutter-lens-like diaphragm. Metamorphosis was total and resulted in a single, four-tentacled medusa as in other known cubozoans. Both polyp and medusa stages bear zooxanthellae, which seemed important in the metamorphic process.
MORPHOGENIC POTENTIAL OF THREE POTATO (SOLANUM TUBEROSUM) CULTIVARS FROM DIVERSE EXPLANTS, A PREREQUISITE IN GENETIC MANIPULATION

In vitro response and its relationship with different varieties, explants and media were investigated in potato (Solanum tuberosum). Direct In vitro regeneration protocol from diverse explant source is a prerequisite for transformation studies. Three potato cultivars viz., Cardinal, Altamash and Diamont were selected for in vitro responses. High regeneration and morphogenic potential of different explants i.e., shoot tips, leaf discs, nodes and internodes have been tested for direct regeneration. Basal media was Murashige & Skoog and different hormonal combinations of benzyl adenine and indoleacetic acid were supplemented. Statistical analysis showed that explant source had significant effect on direct regeneration and the nodal explants had maximum regeneration. The number of shoots obtained from node was 17.6 from Cardinal followed by Diamont 14.3 and Altamash 9.0. Shoot apices also resulted in shoot regeneration comparatively better than leaf discs and internodal explants but lesser than from nodes. Most suitable medium was MS with 2.0 mg/l BAP and IAA @ 0.5 mg/l giving maximum regeneration. It was also observed that interaction of cultivars with explant and media is highly significant at P 1.0%.
Upper Cenomanian-Lower Campanian Derdere and Karababa formations in the Çemberlitaş oil field, southeastern Turkey: their microfacies analyses, depositional environments, and sequence stratigraphy

The frontal belt of the southeastern Anatolia fold-thrust belt in Turkey contains several small to mid-size oilfields, producing from carbonate reservoirs of the Cretaceous Mardin group. Many of these fields are found along narrow, asymmetrical anticlinal structures, associated with the formation of the fold-thrust belt. The Cemberlitas oil field in Adiyaman, southeastern Turkey, is one of the most important oilfields in the region. It produces from the Upper Cretaceous Derdere and Karababa formations of the Mardin group. We have conducted a detailed study of the microfacies, depositional environments, and sequence stratigraphy of the Karababa (Coniacian-lower Campanian) and Derdere (mid-Cenomanian-Turonian) formations in the oil field. Eight microfacies in the Karababa and Derdere formations have been identified; the microfacies in the Karababa formation are 1) mollusk-echinoid wackestone/packstone, 2) dolomitic planktonic foraminifera wackestone, 3) planktonic foraminifera bearing wackestone/packstone, and 4) phosphatic-glauconitic planktonic foraminifera bearing wackestone. The microfacies in the Derdere formation are 5) lime mudstone, 6) bioclastic wackestone/packstone, 7) medium-coarse crystalline dolomite, and 8) fine crystalline dolomite. These microfacies suggest that the Derdere formation was deposited in lagoonal to shelf depositional environments and the Karababa formation was deposited in a deep to shallow marine intrashelf basin. Two third-order sequence boundaries of late Turonian and early Campanian in age have been recognized in the reservoir interval. Depositional sequences contain transgressive and highstand systems tracts. These sequences are compared with those in other regions to differentiate the local, regional, and global factors that controlled sedimentation within the Cemberlitas oil field area.
A comparison of maternal effects and current environment on vital rates of Aphis nerii, the milkweed–oleander aphid

Abstract. 1. Non‐Mendelian maternal effects, the effects of maternal phenotype or environment on offspring phenotype, have been documented in numerous taxa. By affecting offspring vital rates (birth, death, and movement), maternal effects have the potential to influence population dynamics. However, relatively few studies have directly linked maternal phenotype or environment to offspring vital rates. Additionally, even fewer studies have compared the magnitude of across‐generation effects (i.e. maternal effects) to within‐generation effects.
Impacts of climatic condition on different Brassica genotypes growth and productivities

During 2015 to compare the yield performance of seven Brassica genotypes under the Agro– climatic condition of Quetta were studied. The treatments was consist of V1 (Hyola-401), V2 (BARD – 1), V3 (Raya Anmol), V4 (CON II), V5 (Sarhein - 95), V6 (19 – H) and V7 (Canola Raya). Between all the seven examined varieties of Brassica genotypes the CON II and BARD– 1 gave greatest seed yield (898kg ha -1 ) and (889.33 kg ha -1 ) respectively, with better yield components like biological yield, plant height and one thousand seeds weight as contrasted to other varieties. It is accomplished that CON II and BARD–1Brassica genotypes executed good and attained greatest productivities with excellent quality under agro climatic condition of
Full HAWT rotor CFD simulations using different RANS turbulence models compared with actuator disk and experimental measurements

Abstract. The development of large-scale wind energy projects has created the demand for increasingly accurate and efficient models that limit a project's uncertainties and risk. Wake effects are of great importance and are relevant for the optimization of wind farms. Despite a growing body of research, there are still many open questions and challenges to overcome. In computational modelling, there are always numerous input parameters such as material properties, geometry, boundary conditions, initial conditions, turbulence modelling etc. whose estimation is difficult and their values are often inaccurate or uncertain. Due to the lack of information of several sources, e.g., uncertainties present in operating conditions as well as in the mathematical modelling, the computational output is also uncertain. It is therefore very important to validate the mathematical models with experiments performed in controlled conditions. In the present paper, the single wake characteristics of a Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine Rotor (HAWT) and their spatial evolution are investigated with different Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling approaches and compared to experimental measurements. The steady state 3-D Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations are solved in the open-source platform OpenFOAM, using different turbulence closure schemes. For the full-rotor CFD simulations, the Multiple Reference Frames (MRF) approach was used to model the rotation of the blades. For the simplified cases, an actuator disk model was used with the experimentally measured thrust (CT) and power (CP) coefficient values. The performance of each modelling approach is compared with experimental wind tunnel wake measurements from the 4th blind test organized by NOWITECH and NORCOWE in 2015. Numerical results are compared with experimental data along three horizontal lines downstream, covering all the wake regions. Wake predictions are shown to be very sensitive to the choice of the RANS turbulence model. For most cases, the ADM under-predicts the velocity deficit, except for the case of RNG k-e which showed a superb performance in the mid and far wake. The full wind turbine rotor simulations showed good agreement to the experimental data, mainly in the near wake, amplifying the differences between the simplified models.
ONTOLOGY-BASED PRODUCTS INFORMATION INTEROPERABILITY IN NETWORKED MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES

Standardisation initiatives (ISO and IEC) try to answer the problem of managing heterogeneous information, scattered within organizations, by formalising the knowledge related to products technical data. While the product is the centred object from which, along its life cycle, all enterprise systems, either inside a single enterprise or between cooperating networked enterprises, have a specific view, we may consider it as active as far as it participates to the decisions making by providing knowledge about itself. This paper proposes a novel approach, postulating that the product, represented by its technical data, may be considered as interoperable per se with the many applications involved in manufacturing enterprises as far as it embeds knowledge about itself, as it stores all its technical data, provided that these are embedded on a common model. The matter of this approach is to formalise of all technical data and concepts contributing to the definition of a Product Ontology, embedded into the product itself and making it interoperable with applications, minimising loss of semantics.
PHOTO INTERVIEWS WITH CHILDREN: RELATING THE VISUAL AND THE VERBAL FROM A PARTICIPATION PERSPECTIVE

The integration of visual prompts into qualitative interviews is regarded as a useful tool in attempting to give children the possibility of verbalizing memories and describing abstract issues. Furthermore, photo interviews are supposed to promote children’s participatory research experiences. Less attention has been paid to how visual and verbal elements may be interrelated throughout the research process. Drawing on data from an Austrian empirical study with 50 children aged 10 years, the objective of this paper is to describe the combination of visual and verbal data in detail. Special emphasis is put on identifying factors that influence children’s participation. The potential and limitations of photo interviews as a participative method of conducting research with children are elaborated. Although this approach does not per se decrease power differentials, enhance participation, or respect children’s agency, it has a high potential to facilitate such action, if applied carefully, critically, and conscientiously.
Changes in Capital Structure of Czech SMEs: A Dynamic Panel Data Approach

In this paper, we explore two of the most relevant theories that explain financial policy in small and medium enterprises (SMEs): pecking order theory and trade-off theory. The theoretical section provides an overview of contemporary theories of capital structure. According to the pecking order theory changes in the level of debt are not motivated by the need to reach a given debt target, but instead are motivated by the need for external financing. In trade of theory companies identify their optimal capital structure and weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of an additional monetary unit of debt. Panel data methodology is used to test the empirical hypotheses over the sample of 260 Czech SMEs during the years 2004-2011 using annual data. To test pecking order theory and trade-off theory we use total debt ratio as a dependent variable and independent/explanatory variables depending on previous literature that that correspond to specific company characteristics. The results suggest that both theoretical approaches contribute to explain capital structure in Czech SMEs and identify major forces that lie behind their indebtedness.
Efficient copulation and the evolutionary loss of the avian intromittent organ

The absence of an intromittent organ (IO) in most species (>97%) of birds is an enigma: birds are the only terrestrial vertebrates in which insemination typically occurs without the use of an IO. In an earlier review, we evaluated six hypotheses to explain the loss of IOs among birds. We found some support for the influence of sperm competition and female choice, but other hypotheses (e.g. avoidance of sexually transmitted disease) could not be tested because of a lack of empirical data. Wesolowski (1999, J. Avian Biol. 30: 483-485) has criticised our female choice and sexually transmitted disease hypotheses as implausible and insufficient to explain the loss of the IO in birds. Instead, he proposes that IOs were lost to minimise the risk of predation (by shortening duration of copulation) and/or to increase the efficiency of sperm transfer. Here we respond to Wesolowski's (1999) criticisms and test his efficient copulation (EC) hypothesis with data on the duration of copulation in 243 species. Contrary to expectations from the EC hypothesis, copulation durations did not differ significantly between species with and without an IO. Thus we can reject the EC hypothesis as an explanation for the loss of IOs in birds.
Interest Rate Volatility and Risk Management: Evidence from CBOE Treasury Options

This paper investigates US Treasury market volatility and develops new ways of dealing with the underlying interest rate volatility risk. We adopt an innovative approach which is based on a class of model-free interest rate volatility (VXI) indices we derive from options traded on the CBOE. The empirical analysis indicates substantial interest rate volatility risk for medium-term instruments which declines to the levels of the equity market only as the tenor increases to 30 years. We show that this risk appears to be priced in the market and has a significant time-varying relationship with equity volatility risk. US Treasury market volatility is appealing from an investment diversification perspective since the VXI indices are negatively correlated with the levels of interest rates and of equity market implied volatility indices, respectively. Although VXI indices are affected by macroeconomic and monetary news, they are only partially spanned by information contained in the yield curve. Motivated by our results on the magnitude and the nature of interest rate volatility risk and by the phenomenal recent growth of the equity volatility derivative market, we propose the use of our VXI indices as benchmarks for monitoring, securitizing, managing and trading interest rate volatility risk. As a first step in this direction, we describe a framework of one-factor equilibrium models for pricing VXI futures and options on the basis of empirically favored mean-reverting jump-diffusions.
P L ] 1 7 S ep 2 01 6 Parsing Expression Grammars Made Practical

Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs) define languages by specifying a recursive-descent parser that recognises the m. The PEG formalism exhibits desirable properties, such as closure under composition, built-in disambiguation, unifi cation of syntactic and lexical concerns, and closely matchin g programmer intuition. Unfortunately, state of the art PEG parsers struggle with left-recursive grammar rules, which are not supported by the original definition of the formalism and can lead to infinite recursion under naive implementations. Likewise, support for associativity and explicit preceden c is spotty. To remedy these issues, we introduce Autumn, a general purpose PEG library that supports left-recursion, left and right associativity and precedence rules, and does so ef ficiently. Furthermore, we identify infix and postfix operators as a major source of inefficiency in left-recursive PEG parsers and show how to tackle this problem. We also explore the extensibility of the PEG paradigm by showing how one can easily introduce new parsing operators and how our parser accommodates custom memoization and error handling strategies. We compare our parser to both state of the art and battle-tested PEG and CFG parsers, such as Rats! , Parboiled and ANTLR.
