Formidable and Dominant 1 . 1 2 3 4 Women ’ s Vulnerability and Preferences for Physically Formidable and Dominant Mates : 5 How Specific Are the Underlying Psychological Mechanisms ? 6 7

16 Previous research shows that feelings of vulnerability, as measured by fear of crime, are associated 17 with preferences for physically formidable and dominant mates (PPFDM), ostensibly because of the 18 physical protection such mates can afford. In the lab and in the field, we tested whether the 19 relationship between PPFDM and fear of crime is pronounced when the risk of crime is relatively 20 high, and for crimes that are evolutionarily more costly. In Study 1, women were presented with 21 daytime and night time images that featured a lone shadowy male figure, crime hotspots and 22 safespots, and they reported their risk of victimisation in the situation depicted in the image. In 23 Study 2, we had female participants walk through crime hotspots and safespots in a city centre 24 during the daytime, and had them report their perceived victimisation risk for different types of 25 crime, perpetrated by a maleversus female. Participants in Study 1 and 2 also completed a scale 26 that measures PPFDM. In both studies, we found that PPFDM was positively associated with fear of 27 crime in hotspots and in safespots. Additionally, fear of crime was significantly affected by risk 28 situation (i.e., safespot versus hotspot, night time versus daytime). The relationship between PPFDM 29 and fear, however, did not vary in relation to risk situation, perpetrator gender, or crime type, 30 suggesting that the psychological mechanisms underlying the relationship between perceived risk of 31 victimisation and PPFDM are general in nature. Women who prefer physically formidable and 32 dominant mates tend to feel more at risk of crime, regardless of the situational risk factors present. 33
The Effects of NO – 3 Supply on Mazzaella laminarioides ( Rhodophyta , Gigartinales ) from Southern Chile Photochemistry

The effects of nitrate supply on growth, pigments, mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), C:N ratios and carrageenan yield were investigated in Mazzaella laminarioides cultivated under solar radiation. This species is economically important in southern Chile where an increase of nitrogen in coastal waters is expected as a consequence of salmon aquaculture activity. Apical segments were cultivated in enriched seawater with five different NO 3 concentrations (0, 0.09, 0.18, 0.38 and 0.75 mM) during 18 days. Although phycoerythrin and phycocyanin content, as well as C:N ratios, were reduced in the control treatment (without NO 3 supply), when compared to NO 3 treatments, total MAA concentration, carrageenan yield and growth rates were similar in all tested conditions. Nevertheless, during the experiment, an important synthesis of mycosporine-glycine took place in a nitrate concentrationdependent manner, with accumulation being saturated around 0.18 mM of nitrate. These results indicate that exposure to high NO 3 concentration of more than 100 times the values observed in the nature did not impair the photoprotection system, as determined by MAAs, nor did it have a deleterious effect on growth or carrageenan yield of M. laminarioides, a late successional species from Chile.
Status of Carbohydrates and Dietary Fiber in Gluten-free Dicets

Celiac disease is an immune-mediated enteropathy triggered by the ingestion of the cereal protein gluten, which is present in wheat, rye, and barley. Since lifelong avoidance of gluten is currently the only treatment for celiac disease, it is important to consider the effect of a glutenfree diet on nutrient intake and the nutritional status of patients adhering to this restricted diet. Concerns have been raised about the long-term dietary habits and food choices of individuals following a strict gluten-free diet, because a number of studies indicate there is an unbalanced intake of carbohydrates, proteins, and fat, as well as a limited intake of certain essential nutrients, by celiac patients (18,29). One very important nutrient that studies have repeatedly shown is not consumed in sufficient amounts is dietary fiber. Even though adherence to a gluten-free diet may also lead to insufficient consumption of other nutrients, such as calcium and certain vitamins, this review focuses on carbohydrate, sugar, and fiber consumption in celiac patients, as well as on the content of these macronutrients in commercially available products. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the intake of total carbohydrates, including starch and simple carbohydrates such as sugars, should range from 45 to 60% of total energy intake for both adults and children. Insufficient evidence has been found to set an upper limit for sugars. This is because the possible health effects are mainly related to patterns of food consumption, i.e., the types of foods consumed and how often they are consumed, rather than to the total intake of sugars (4,23). Although dietary fibers are also carbohydrates based on their chemical structure,
Trade-offs between fisheries and the conservation of ecosystem function are defined by management strategy

Efforts to conserve marine biodiversity must move beyond conserving individual species within protected areas and seek to preserve the functional roles that species perform in ecosystems across seascapes. For instance, herbivorous and predatory (including invertebrate-feeding) fish are critical for maintaining coralreef habitat and the diversity of dependent fish assemblages. However, increasing the biomasses of fished species may come at a cost to fisheries. Using coral reefs as an example, we examined critical functional roles and model trade-offs between fishery profits and the spatial extent of functional fish communities. The nature of the trade-off depended on the management scenario: protecting functions in small areas could be achieved with marine reserves at minimal cost to fisheries, whereas reducing fishing effort was a more effective method for protecting functional communities across a seascape. An appropriate choice of management actions can alter the trade-off and, in doing so, ameliorate potential for conflict with resource users.
Spatial Approaches to Panel Data in Agricultural Economics: A Climate Change Application

Panel data are used in almost all subfields of the agricultural economics profession. Furthermore, many research areas have an important spatial dimension. This article discusses some of the recent contributions made in the evolving theoretical and empirical literature on spatial econometric methods for panel data. We then illustrate some of these tools within a climate change application using a hedonic model of farmland values and panel data. Estimates for the model are provided across a range of nonspatial and spatial estimators, including spatial error and spatial lag models with fixed and random effects extensions. Given the importance of location and extensive use of panel data in many subfields of agricultural economics, these recently developed spatial panel methods hold great potential for applied researchers.
The systems psychodynamic leadership coaching experiences of nursing managers

The mostly linear and mechanistic nature of the nursing manager role is rapidly becoming more dynamic and systemic. The change involves task and people management within a constantly changing organisational identity, taking up multiple leadership roles, having to authorise oneself and others in a complex matrix system, and managing conscious and unconscious psychological boundaries within and between conflicting systems. The aim of this study was to describe the systems psychodynamic learning experiences of nursing managers during leadership coaching. The coaching task was to provide learning opportunities to the individual leader, towards gaining insight into conscious and unconscious leadership dynamics in terms of anxiety, task, role, authorisation, boundaries and identity. A qualitative research design was used. Six nursing managers attended ten leadership coaching sessions over ten weeks. Field notes and reflective essays were analysed using systems psychodynamic discourse analysis. The findings indicated clarity and authorisation in the participants’ primary task and normative roles; anxiety and de-authorisation in their experiential and phenomenal roles; anxiety in boundary management related to the misuse of power by others; and the continuous exploration of their leadership role identity towards achieving integration. Participants’ learning experiences were evaluated in terms of criteria for organisational learning, after which a general hypothesis was formulated. Opsomming Die meestal liniere en meganistiese aard van die verpleegbestuursrol is vinnig besig om na ’n meer dinamiese en sistemiese rol te verander. Die verandering behels taak- en mensbestuur binne 'n steeds veranderende organisasie-identiteit, waar 'n verskeidenheid rolle opgeneem word, die self en ander in 'n komplekse matrikssisteem bemagtig word, en waartydens bewuste en onbewuste sielkundige grense in en tussen botsende sisteme bestuur word. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die sisteem-psigodinamiese leerervaringe van verpleegbestuurders tydens leierskapafrigting te beskryf. Die afrigtingstaak was om leergeleenthede aan die individuele leier beskikbaar te stel vir die ontwikkeling van insig in bewuste en onbewuste leierskapsdinamika in terme van angs, taak, rol, outoriteit, grense en identiteit. 'n Kwalitatiewe navorsingsontwerp is gebruik. Ses verpleegbestuurders het tien leierskapafrigtingsessies oor tien weke bygewoon. Veldnotas en besinnende opstelle is deur middel van sisteem-psigodinamiese gespreksanalise ontleed. Die bevindinge dui op duidelikheid oor en bemagtiging in hulle primere taak en normatiewe rol; angs en ontmagtiging in hulle ervarings- en fenomenale rolle; angs in grenshandhawing wat verband hou met magsmisbruik deur andere; en die voortdurende ondersoek en integrasie van leierskapsrolidentiteit. Deelnemers se leerervarings is na aanleiding van kriteria vir organisasieleer geevalueer, waarna die algemene hipotese geformuleer is.

Contactless Dielectrophoresis towards Drug Screening and Microdevice Development for Cell Sorting

Firstly, this work demonstrates that contactless dielectrophoresis (cDEP) was useful to detect a reversal in the electrical phenotype of late-stage ovarian cancer cells to a profile similar to that of slow-growing early-stage ovarian epithelial cells after treatment with a non-toxic bioactive metabolite, sphingosine. Current chemotherapeutics are highly toxic to patients and can cause severe adverse side effects, so non-toxic treatments that could slow or reverse cancer growth would be advantageous. This is the first instance of cDEP for detecting induced changes in cell structure, showing its potential as a rapid, nonbiomarker-based drug screening platform. Specifically, low frequency contactless dielectrophoresis devices previously designed by Sano et al were used to extract the crossover frequency and specific membrane capacitance of early and late stage mouse ovarian surface epithelial (MOSE-E and MOSE-L) cells when untreated, treated with the anti-cancer sphingosine (So) metabolite and with a generally cancer-supporting sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) metabolite. The specific membrane capacitance of MOSE-L cells treated with So decreased and the normalized crossover frequency increased to levels matching MOSE-E cells. Secondly, a new multilayer cDEP device featuring curved interdigitated electrode channels overlaying a straight sample channel for the purpose of cell sorting was designed, computationally modeled, fabricated, and tested. The goal of this design was to achieve continuous multi-stream sorting of cells, and preliminary testing demonstrated that prostate cancer PC3 cells were continuously deflected toward the top of the channel under an electric field, as predicted by the numerical model.
Research On The Cultivation of Nitrifying Bacteria And Possibility of The Biomass Storage

Abstract The efficiency of nitrification has a great influence on the effect of removing nitrogen from wastewater. Problems with the process are associated with reducing the age of activated sludge, lower temperatures of wastewater in aeration chambers, rapid changes in the amount and composition of wastewater containing toxic substances or inhibiting the oxidation of ammonia nitrogen. The research concerned the possibility of cultivation and storage of the nitrifying bacteria biomass, which could be added to the activated sludge in case of a drop of nitrification efficiency. The study showed that even a four-year-old storage of nitrifying bacteria does not result in their complete destruction.
A digital mapping method for linking high-resolution remote sensing images to individual tree crowns

Remote sensing data provides unique information about the Earth’s surface that can be used to address ecological questions. Linking high-resolution remote sensing data to field-based ecological data requires methods to identify objects of interest directly on georeferenced remote sensing digital images while in the field. Mapping individual trees with a GPS often has location error and is focused on the position of the tree stem rather than the crown, often creating a mismatch between field data and the pixel information. We describe a mapping process that uses a consumer-grade GPS and tablet computer to spatially match individual trees measured in the field directly to a digital image of their crowns taken from above the canopy. This paper outlines the reasons for using digital field mapping and a summary of the equipment and process, with supplemental material providing a detailed field protocol. As more remote sensing data with a resolution capable of resolving individual trees become available, the opportunities to leverage these data for ecological studies grow. We provide guidelines for those wanting to apply imagery to expand the spatial scale and extent of ecological studies.
Nondestructive Reconstruction and Analysis of SOFC Anodes Using X-ray Computed Tomography at Sub-50 nm Resolution

A high-resolution, nondestructive X-ray computed tomography (XCT) technique is applied to image the three-dimensional (3D) microstructure of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) composed of a solid yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte and a porous nickel YSZ (Ni-YSZ) anode. The X-ray microscope uses the 8 keV Cu Kα line from a laboratory X-ray source, with a reflective condenser optic lens providing a spatial resolution of 42.7 nm. The reconstructed volume data is visualized as 3D images and further postprocessed in binary-image format to obtain structural parameters. The porosity is calculated using a voxel counting method, and tortuosity is evaluated by solving the Laplace equation. A 3D representation of the microstructure is used to calculate true structural parameters and carry out a detailed study of the gas transport within an SOFC electrode at the pore scale. Simulation of multicomponent mass transport and electrochemical reactions in the anode microstructure using the XCT data as geometric input illustrate the impact of this technique on SOFC modeling.
Physical Exercise Enhances Neuroplasticity and Delays Alzheimer’s Disease

Accumulating evidence indicates that exercise can improve learning and memory as well as attenuate neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In addition to improving neuroplasticity by altering the synaptic structure and function in various brain regions, exercise also modulates systems like angiogenesis and glial activation that are known to support neuroplasticity. Moreover, exercise helps to maintain a cerebral microenvironment that facilitates synaptic plasticity by enhancing the clearance of Aβ, one of the main culprits of AD pathogenesis. The purpose of this review is to highlight the positive impacts of exercise on promoting neuroplasticity. Possible mechanisms involved in exercise-modulated neuroplasticity are also discussed. Undoubtedly, more studies are needed to design an optimal personalized exercise protocol for enhancing brain function.
Structural Survey The flexural strength of earth-block masonry for sustainable walling

Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to explore the structural feasibility of substituting traditional thick joint mortars with earth slurry mortars modified with varying amounts of sand. Thin jointing of earth blocks would reduce the cost of sustainable earth construction. Design/methodology/approach – Compressive strength of earth-block cubes was determined. Flexural strength was measured using the BRE electronic bond wrench, which enables block couplets to be tested quickly and accurately. Three samples of earth block, one from southwest England and two from East Anglia, together with nine examples of earth slurry mortar jointing were studied, including the effect of reinforcing the joint and or the block using hessian. Findings – The 28-day cube characteristic compressive strengths were determined for Appley soil, Norfolk lump and Beeston soil, the last with 0 per cent sand, 25 per cent sand and with 25 per cent sand with hessian. The flexural strengths of Appley and Beeston earth slurries were determined, along with Thermalite thin jointed cement and cement mortar for comparison. The Beeston soil flexural strength increased with increasing sand content. Earth slurry with 40 per cent sand and hessian present in the joint gave the greatest strength. It is important to use blocks and slurry mortars of the same soil. Extruded and compressed earth blocks are best suited to slurry jointing. Originality/value – This work successfully demonstrates the structural feasibility of carefully reducing the thickness of earth mortars when constructing sustainable earth block walling. Characteristic flexural strengths are suggested where the test results were sufficiently consistent, and of a magnitude likely to be useful in design.
ON THE ACCURACY ASSESSMENT OF LEAST-SQUARES MODEL-IMAGE FITTING FOR BUILDING EXTRACTION FROM AERIAL IMAGES

Model-based building extraction from aerial images has been an intensive research topic in the field of digital photogrammetry since the last decade. Based on our previous research work, the principle of Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) is applied to model various buildings. Each building is represented by a combination of 3D primitives and each primitive is associated with a set of shape and pose parameters. Building reconstruction is implemented by adjusting the model parameters to fit model with images. We proposed a Least-squares Model-image Fitting (LSMIF) algorithm to obtain the optimal fit between model and images. In this paper, the performance of LSMIF is investigated. First, the convergence rate and pull-in range of the algorithm is analyzed. Then, how to use constraints to increase the convergence rate is introduced. Finally, 10 sets real data were tested to assess the theoretical accuracy of parameter determination. In order to assess the empirical accuracy, the results are also compared with manually measured data using an analytical plotter. This study reveals that the function of LAMIF is table and can generate qualified 3D information of building comparable to manually measured data.
Omega‐3 and omega‐3/curcumin‐enriched fruit juices decrease tumour growth and reduce muscle wasting in tumour‐bearing mice

The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the effects of the administration of a juice containing essential nutrients (marine omega‐3 fatty acids: EPA and DHA, a polyphenol‐rich juice, vitamin D3, essential amino acids and dietary fibre) (CAX) and a juice also enriched with curcumin (CUR), alone or in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent (sorafenib) in a mouse cancer cachexia model.
The Effects of Different Plant Activators on Protein, Lipid and Fatty Acids in Snack-Seed Pumpkin

In this study, Nusem and Beppo snack seed pumpkin cultivars were used to determine the effects of different plant activators on seed protein, lipid and fatty acids contents. In the context of study, plant activators consist of Crop-set (CR), EM1, ERS, Vitormone-Plus Drip (VIT), Bacillus subtilis (OSU 142), Bacillus megatorium (M3), Azospirillum sp. (SP 245), Spirulina platensis (SIP), Ecocompost (EKO), Camli Botanica liquid organic fertilizer (BOT) and Zincon (ZIN) were used as organic fertilizer. In the experiment, the plant activators were applied to the plants alone or in combination with each other and organic fertilizer. Two separate control groups which were organic and conventional (CONV.) fertilizer have been identified. As a result of the use of different plant activators, the highest protein content was obtained from CONV. application (35.50%), M3+SP 245 (33.09%) and M3 (33.04%); the highest lipid content was observed from SP 245+OG (45.90%), CR (44.48%) and SIP+OG (44.26%) applications. The use of different plant activators effected the fatty acid contents of seeds. Total 11 fatty acids were identified. Among the fatty acids, C16:0 (Palmitic acid), C18:0 (Stearic acid), C18:1 (Oleic acid) and C18:2 (Linoleic acid) were found dominant.
Management features of patient with bronchial asthma and acute exacerbation of chronic sinusitis by vacuum drainage and Weber’s douche

Pathologies of the upper and lower airways are inextricably connected. Good results cannot be achieved in the treatment of bronchial asthma on the background of aggravation of chronic process in the paranasal sinuses. Pathological secretion flowing down the rear wall has a negative effect on lower respiratory tract, that is a factor in the risk of attacks of breathlessness. What should we do in such cases? In case of the development of uncontrolled asthma, the patients are hospitalized in the therapeutic department. Consultation of the otolaryngologist is required, who has a specific task to sanitize the nose and paranasal sinuses. Vacuum drainage method (IaMIK sinus catheter) is ideal for this task. Weber’s douche with the help of the nasal irrigator by "Endomedium + " can effectively wash the nose and nasal passages, even in severe deformation of intranasal structures. Using two methods, one can create a more peaceful conditions of bronchial asthma.
KIC 7582608: a new Kepler roAp star with frequency variability

We analyse the fifth rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) star reported in the Kepler field, KIC 7582608, discovered with the SuperWASP (Wide Angle Search for Planets) project. The object shows a high-frequency pulsation at 181.7324 d −1 (P = 7.9 min) with an amplitude of1.45mmag,andlow-frequencyrotationalmodulationcorrespondingtoaperiodof20.4339d with an amplitude of 7.64 mmag. Spectral analysis confirms the Ap nature of the target, with characteristic lines of Eu II ,N dIII and Pr III present. The spectra are not greatly affected by broadening, which is consistent with the long rotational period found from photometry. From our spectral observations we derive a lower limit on the mean magnetic field modulus of �B �= 3.05 ± 0.23 kG. Long cadence Kepler observations show a frequency quintuplet split by the rotational period of the star, typical for an oblique pulsator. We suggest the star is a quadrupole pulsator with a geometry such that i ∼ 66 ◦ and β ∼ 33 ◦ . We detect frequency variations of the pulsation in both the WASP and Kepler data sets on many time-scales. Linear, non-adiabatic stability modelling allows us to constrain a region on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram where the pulsations are unstable, an area consistent with observations.
