Experimental Determination of TTT Diagram for Alloy 718Plus

The phase evolution of Allvac® alloy 718Plus® has been determined experimentally via construction of time-temperaturetransformation (TTT) and continuous-cooling-transformation (CCT) curves based on identifying the various phases, their sizes and volume fractions along with distributions as they evolved during thermal treatment. The solution temperature range of interand intra-granular  phases and of have been characterized via detailed microstructural investigations. The phase solvus of alloy 718Plus determined by dissolution during isothermal hold for 0.1 hours ranges between 1010-1071C, with clear distinctions between solutioning of grain boundary and complete solutioning. The temperature where the intergranular or grain boundary particles dissolve after 0.1 hours in the investigated material is 1015C. At this temperature, grain growth occurs owing to a lack of pinning by grain boundary phase particles. However, it is only at 1065C, that a complete dissolution of all particles has been observed. The nose of the TTT curve for  occurs at about 843C for start (25 % transformation) and end of transformation (100% transformation). The temperature ranges at which precipitation hardening (704-788C), coarsening (843C) and over aging (898C) take place in the alloy have been located by correlating the TTT and the time-temperature-hardness (TTH) curves. This investigation provides a solid basis for practical processing of the alloy, to be used as a candidate material for 700C applications.

Massive outflows driven by magnetic effects – II. Comparison with observations

The driving mechanism of massive outflows observed in high-mass star-forming regions is investigated using three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and protostellar evolution calculations. In our previous paper, we showed that the mass outflow rate depends strongly on the mass accretion rate onto the circumstellar disk around a high-mass protostar, and massive outflows may be driven by the magnetic effect in high-mass star-forming cores. In the present study, in order to verify that the MHD disk wind is the primary driving mechanism of massive outflows, we quantitatively compare outflow properties obtained through simulations and observations. Since the outflows obtained through simulations are slightly younger than those obtained through observations, the time-integrated quantities of outflow mass, momentum, and kinetic energy are slightly smaller than those obtained through observations. On the other hand, time-derivative quantities of mass ejection rate, outflow momentum flux, and kinetic luminosity obtained through simulations are in very good agreement with those obtained through observations. This indicates that the MHD disk wind greatly contributes to the massive outflow driving from high-mass protostars, and the magnetic field might significantly control the high-mass star formation process.
Variability and Proper Motion of X-Ray Knots in the Jet of Centaurus A

We report results from Chandra observations analyzed for evidence of variability and proper motion in the X-ray jet of Centaurus A. Using data spanning 15 yr, collective proper motion of 11.3 ± 3.3 mas yr−1, or 0.68 ± 0.20c, is detected for the fainter X-ray knots and other substructure present within the jet. The three brightest knots (AX1A, AX1C, and BX2) are found to be stationary to an upper limit of . Brightness variations up to 27% are detected for several X-ray knots in the jet. For the fading knots, BX2 and AX1C, the changes in spectral slope expected to accompany synchrotron cooling are not found, ruling it out and placing upper limits of ≃80 μG for each of their magnetic field strengths. Adiabatic expansion can account for the observed decreases in brightness. Constraints on models for the origin of the knots are established. Jet plasma overrunning an obstacle is favored as the generator of stationary knots, while moving knots are likely produced either by internal differences in jet speed or the late stages of jet interaction with nebular or cloud material.
Teacher Efficacy and the Effects of Coaching on Student Achievement.

This research considers relationships between student achievement (knowledge and cognitive skill), teacher efficacy (Gibson & Dembo, 1984), and interactions with assigned coaches (self-report measures) in a sample of 18 grade 7 and 8 history teachers in 36 classes implementing a specific innovation with the help of 6 coaches. Student achievement was higher in classrooms of teachers who had more contact with their coaches and in classrooms of teachers with greater confidence in the effectiveness of education. Teachers who relied on school administrators reported less involvement with their coaches and these teachers obtained lower student achievement. There was no interaction between efficacy and coaching, possibly because there was virtually no peer observation. Cette recherche porte sur les relations entre le rendement scolaire (connaissance et aptitude cognitive), l’efficacite des enseignants (Gibson et Dembo, 1984) et les interactions avec des aidants (mesures d’auto-evaluation) dans un echantillon de 18 enseignants d’histoire dans 36 classes de 7e et 8e annee ou etait implantee une innovation avec l’intervention de six aidants. Le rendement scolaire a ete superieur dans les classes des enseignants qui avaient plus de contacts avec leurs aidants et dans celles des enseignants ayant une plus grande confiance dans l’efficacite de l’education. Les enseignants qui comptaient sur les administrateurs scolaires ont fait etat de contacts moins nombreux avec leurs aidants et ont obte- nu un rendement scolaire inferieur. Il n’y avait aucune interaction entre l’effica- cite et l’encadrement des aidants, peut-etre parce qu’il n’y avait presque aucune observation mutuelle.

Although coordination of wage bargaining probably affects entry barriers and competition in product markets, research on price determination has typically not considered such factors. We argue that the price markup depends on wage setting institutions and present empirical evidence in form of estimated price equations in a panel of 15 OECD countries. The estimates show that consumer prices may be as much as 21 percent higher in coordinated compared to uncoordinated countries, solely due to the effect of coordination on the markup. Since other studies find that coordination has a dampening effect on wages, this may explain why there is no clear effect of coordination on unemployment. JEL C23, E31, J51
Human RTEL 1 stabilizes long G-overhangs allowing telomerase-dependent overextension

Telomere maintenance protects the cell against genome instability and senescence. Accelerated telomere attrition is a characteristic of premature aging syndromes including Dyskeratosis congenita (DC). Mutations in hRTEL1 are associated with a severe form of DC called Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome (HHS). HHS patients carry short telomeres and HHS cells display telomere damage. Here we investigated how hRTEL1 contributes to telomere maintenance in human primary as well as tumor cells. Transient depletion of hRTEL1 resulted in rapid telomere shortening only in the context of telomerasepositive cells with very long telomeres and high levels of telomerase. The effect of hRTEL1 on telomere length is telomerase dependent without impacting telomerase biogenesis or targeting of the enzyme to telomeres. Instead, RTEL1 depletion led to a decrease in both G-overhang content and POT1 association with telomeres with limited telomere uncapping. Strikingly, overexpression of POT1 restored telomere length but not the overhang, demonstrating that G-overhang loss is the primary defect caused by RTEL1 depletion. We propose that hRTEL1 contributes to the maintenance of long telomeres by preserving long G-overhangs, thereby facilitating POT1 binding and elongation by telomerase.
How Long Did I Wait? The Effect of Construal Levels on Consumers’ Wait Duration Judgments

We examine how construal levels affect wait duration judgments through two different routes: one based on consumers’ subjective feelings (an affective route) and the other based on mental markers (a cognitive route). We further identify the conditions under which the affective versus the cognitive route operates. We theorize that low-level construal people generate more wait-unrelated thoughts during the wait than high-level construal people. This difference in turn affects duration judgments in opposite directions depending on the judgment strategy that people use. People spontaneously rely on their subjective feelings—how long they feel they have waited. In this case, low(vs. high-) level construal consumers, who are more distracted by their wait-unrelated thoughts, find the wait to be less boring and hence judge it to be shorter. However, when subjective feelings become less accessible (after a delay) or diagnostic (perceived as less trustworthy), or when mental markers become more accessible, people resort to the number of thoughts they had during the wait to infer the duration—the more thoughts they had, the longer it must have been. In this case, low(vs. high-) level construal people perceive the wait to be longer. Results from five studies support the proposed framework.
Crystal orientation analyses of biominerals using Kikuchi patterns in TEM

This paper shows that Kikuchi pattern analysis in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) using recent techniques is superior to conventional electron diffraction analysis for determining crystal orientation in an assemblage of small crystals such as those of biogenic origin. A CCD camera with a wide view and large dynamic range was used together with a dedicated program to analyze the patterns and enable real-time and unique determination of crystal orientation. Convergent illumination of the incident beam was effective in enhancing the Kikuchi patterns and in improving spatial resolution. Two example biominerals are characterized by Kikuchi pattern analysis; one is spinel-law twins in several tens of nanometers width magnetite crystals from magnetotactic bacteria. The other is crystal orientation and the alignment of calcite fragments in coccolith.
Gender differences in sources of shopping enjoyment

A steady stream of research over the past few decades has focused on store and shopping mall patronage and consumers' associated enjoyment of the shopping experience. Based on previous research, the sources of shopping enjoyment were identified as shopping to socialize, shopping for bargains, shopping for gratification, shopping for entertainment, shopping for others, shopping to browse, shopping for exercise and shopping for sensory stimulation. The objective of this study was to investigate gender differences in the sources of shopping enjoyment. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires distributed at a large metropolitan shopping centre in the eastern suburbs of Pretoria. The findings indicate significant gender differences on all the sources of shopping enjoyment except ‘shopping for entertainment’. This study contributes to the current literature and provides valuable information to South African retailers, specifically with regard to marketing and promotional strategies aimed at male and female shoppers separately. Suggestions for future research are offered.
Why Value Estimates Generated Using Choice Modelling Exceed Contingent Valuation: Further Experimental Evidence

Choice modelling is increasingly being used to generate estimates of the value of changes in environmental quality. This is partly because of the informational efficiencies of the technique, but also because of concern about the accuracy of contingent valuation. Experimental evidence has, however, demonstrated that choice modelling tends to produce much higher valuation estimates than contingent valuation. One possible explanation for the divergence between choice modelling and contingent valuation estimates is the lack of incentive compatibility with the former technique. This potentially has several sources, including having no provision rule (eg a referendum), respondents choosing between more than two alternatives, and repeated choices. We report on the results of a series of experiments involving over 2000 subjects designed to test whether a lack of incentive compatibility is responsible for divergences in value estimates.
Influence of Growth Regulators Treatments on Suckers Growth Control , Yield and Fruit Quality of Pomegranate Trees cv . Manfalouty and Their Economics Effect

A two years trial was conducted during 2012 and 2013 seasons on 13 years old Manfalouty pomegranate trees grown in sandy soil under drip irrigation system from well at El Maghara Station, Desert Research Center, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt. Three concentrations of each Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) i.e. 5000, 10000 and 15000 ppm, Paclobutrazol (PP333) i.e. 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm and Maleic hydrazide (MH) i.e. 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm and hand removal (control) treatments were trunk applied on 1 st February after suckers removal from the trunk. The results indicated that all NAA, PP333 and MH treatments reduced number of suckers, sucker length and suckers weight of Manfalouty pomegranate trees. Moreover, 1500 ppm PP333 treatment proved to be the most effective application treatment for controlling the growth of suckers with some advantage over the traditional hand removal (control treatment) of growth of suckers but gave an intermediate positive effect on yield and fruit quality. Briefly, the results showed that the reduction of concentration level of PP333 and MH led to an enhancement of yield and fruit quality. In addition, NAA gave an intermediate positive effect for controlling the growth of suckers than PP333 and MH respectively. Moreover, NAA treatments gave a high positive effect on yield and fruit quality as compared with hand removal treatment (control). Generally, 15000 ppm NAA treatment proved to be the most efficient treatment on enhancing yield and fruit quality excepted 10000 ppm NAA treatment induced high positive effect on fruit total sugar , T.S. S. and ascorbic acid content. Moreover, economic study indicated that some growth regulators treatments attained the highest values of both total revenue per feddan (L.E/ feddan), net revenue per feddan (L.E/ feddan), technological efficiency, economic efficiency, and high sealing price at harvest time, because of increasing the fruit quality which leads to the best revenue value but the best treatment is Paclobutrazol PP333 at 500 ppm . This treatment attained the highest values of both technological efficiency and economic efficiency. It leads to improve the "Manfalouty" pomegranate fruit quality and raising the net income farmer which reflect positively on pomegranate in El maghara in North Sinai governorate Keyword: Pomegranate; suckers; Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA); Paclobutrazol (PP333); Maleic hydrazide (MH); yield; fruit quality ; Cost analysis; Technical efficiency; Total revenue; Net revenue; Economic efficiency.

Effects of Buyang HuanwuDecoction on Ventricular Remodeling and Differential Protein Profile in a Rat Model of Myocardial Infarction

Buyang Huanwu decoction (BYHWD) is a well-known and canonical Chinese medicine formula from “Correction on Errors in Medical Classics” in Qing dynasty. Here, we show that BYHWD could alleviate the ventricular remodeling induced by left anterior descending (LAD) artery ligation in rats. BYHWD treatment (18 g/kg/day) decreased heart weight/body weight (HW/BW), left ventricle (LV) dimension at end diastole (LVDd) and increased LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and LV fractional shortening (LVFS) significantly compared to model group at the end of 12 weeks. The collagen volume of BYHWD group was more significantly decreased than that of model group. Proteomic analysis showed that atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) was downregulated; heat shock protein beta-6 (HSPB6) and peroxiredoxin-6 (PRDX6) were upregulated in BYHWD-treated group among successfully identified proteins. The apoptotic index (AI) was reduced by BYHWD accompanied by decreased expression of Bax and caspase 3 activity, increased Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and phosphorylation of HSPB6 compared to that of model group. Taken together, these results suggest that BYHWD can alleviate ventricular remodeling induced by LAD artery ligation. The antiremodeling effects of BYHWD are conferred by decreasing AI through affecting multiple targets including increased Bcl-2/Bax ratio and decreased caspase 3 activity that might be via upregulated PRDX6, phosphorylation of HSPB6 and subsequently reduction of ANF.
Self-directed Strength Training with Primary School Children and its Effect on Functional Body-related Knowledge

Introduction: Strength training intervention is primarily controlled by training parameters. A scientific desideratum exists concerning the question to what extent a self-controlled load perception might have an effect on motor performance and functional body-related knowledge. Method: A total of 81 primary school students were assigned to an intervention group (N=34, 9.7±2 years) and control group (N=47, 7.3±0.4 years). The intervention group performed strength training twice a week (circuit training, scope of load: 45-60 minutes, duration 20-30 seconds, 7 stations, rest between sets 20-30 seconds, self-regulated intensity). After 9 weeks, both groups were tested for motor performance and functional body-related knowledge. Results: For push-ups (PRETEST: Z=103.2±7 vs. POSTTEST: Z=114.7±9; d=1.4; P<0.01) and sit-ups (PRETEST: Z=90.9±8 vs. POSTTEST: Z=98.6±9; d=0.89; P<0.01), a significant improvement was established in the intervention group. The control group showed substantial improvement for pushups (PRETEST: Z=101.8±10 vs. POSTTEST: Z=107.5±9; d=0.58; P<0.01) and significant decline for sit-ups (PRETEST: Z=99.1±7 vs. POSTTEST: Z=96.6±6; d=-0.36; P<0.05). As to the knowledge test, the intervention group increased their performance considerably (PRETEST: 35±2 points vs. POSTTEST: 40±4 points; d=0.9; P<0.01) when compared to the control group (PRETEST: 34.2±4.6 points vs. POSTTEST: 31.2±4.5 points; d=-0.69; P<0.01). Discussion: A nine-week, self-regulated strength training for children has positive effects on sport motor performance (push-ups and sit-ups) and functional body-related knowledge.
Islamic and conventional bank market value: Manager behavior and investor sentiment

Abstract This paper studies the effect of bank manager behavior and investor behavior on market value of Islamic and conventional banks in the Middle East and North Africa region. Firstly, our analysis denoted the positive effect of discretionary behavior of manager on both types of banks on share prices since discretionary behavior transmits to investor a positive signal of future earnings’ prospects. Also, we find that the conventional bank stock prices response is very high to negative signal compared with positive signal. This result is explained by prospect theory and loss aversion bias which specified that individuals are more sensitive to losses than gains of same magnitude. In particular, we discover that the negative effect of non-discretionary behavior is much lower on Islamic bank value since investors give more confidence to Islamic bank because they are motivated by the idea that Islamic banks are safer than conventional banks. Secondly, the results show that investor sentiment affects significantly both bank market prices. Thus, both Islamic and conventional banks’ market value depends similarly on manager and investor behavior. The implication of this paper is that Islamic bank concentrations reveal a positive effect on their price values because of the recently increased investments in Islamic banks.
