Post-Collisional Magmatism on the Northern Margin of the Taurides and its Geological Implications: Geology and Petrology of the Yahyalı-Karamadazı Granitoid

The Karamadaz› Granitoid (Yahyal›-Kayseri) is a typical example of bimodal magmatism on the northern margin of the Eastern Tauride belt. The Karamadaz› Granitoid intrudes the Palaeozoic-Mesozoic Yahyal› metamorphic rocks and is unconformably overlain by Upper Maastrichtian clastics. It consists of granodioritequartz diorite as the main intrusive phase, and includes leucogranites and aplitic dykes in its marginal parts. Samples from the Karamadaz› Granitoid are calc-alkaline and calcic in character. The granodiorites are mainly metaluminous, whereas leucogranites and aplites are weakly peraluminous in nature. Plots of major-element oxides against SiO2 indicate a poor fractionation trend for the granodiorites. The leucogranites represent highly fractionated end-members. The Karamadaz› Granitoid displays I-type characteristics based on geochemical and mineralogical compositions. LIL elements are enriched compared to the HFS elements and spider-diagram patterns are similar to those of upper continental crust rocks. The geochemical data also imply that the Karamadaz› Granitoid is composed of two distinct magmas, derived from different sources that have undergone limited differentiation. Whatever the sources were, the magmas have interacted with the upper continental crust. On tectono-magmatic discrimination diagrams, the granodiorites plot in the arc region, while leucogranites plot in the triple-junction of the arc, syn-collisional and within-plate fields and thus can be classified as post-collisional granitoids. Geochemical comparison of the Karamadaz› Granitoid with several H-type post-collisional granitoids from the northern Tauride margin (Horoz Granitoid) and central Anatolia (Yozgat, Ekecikda¤, and Terlemez granitoids) indicates clear similarities among these granitoids. This suggests that the granitoids are comparable not only in age, formation and emplacement processes, but also in the tectonic processes which led to their formation.
Innovativeness in product development-Studies on industrial project work

For many organizations, efficiency in product development is a question of accelerating project operations and being innovative in products and technical solutions, and this has interesting consequences for project work. This thesis aims to study technical development work in project groups in order to identify factors that support innovativeness. In this thesis, innovativeness is defined as the ability of project groups to arrive at new ideas and solutions for technical problems, and their implementation. It is hoped that the studies in this thesis will contribute new knowledge in the product development research area, using complementary theories. This thesis is based on four case studies of product development projects, representing different types of industry. The cases involve the development of new, complex industrial products and are reported in four appended papers. The research reported in this thesis has primarily, but not exclusively, adopted a qualitative approach. The studies have shown that innovativeness is favored by project work characterized by lower levels of control, the continuous acquisition of knowledge and a sense of responsibility and interest in tasks, as well as a continuous formulation and definition of tasks and problems. In addition, project work characterized by commitment and interaction have also been found to be important for innovativeness. Three factors supporting innovativeness are presented. Interactive product utilization in work is an alternative to detailed planning in solving coordination needs and maintaining a system view within a project. Interactive control mechanisms are important because product specifications often need to be defined as the project progresses. An interactive social environment supports technical problem solving by providing opportunities for spontaneous interaction between project members.
Combining point correlation maps with self-organising maps to compare observed and simulated atmospheric teleconnection patterns

We use a new method based on point correlation maps and self-organising maps (SOMs) to identify teleconnection patterns in 60 yr of National Centres for Environmental Prediction/National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) sea level pressure (SLP) re-analysis data. The most prevalent patterns are the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the Southern Annular Mode (SAM). Asymmetries are found between base points in opposite centres of action of the NAO and the Pacific North America pattern (PNA). The SOM-based method is a powerful tool that allows us to efficiently assess how realistically teleconnections are reproduced in any climate model. The degree of agreement between modelled and re-analysis-based teleconnections (or between different models) can be summarised in a single plot. Here, we illustrate this by assessing the skill of the medium complexity climate model FORTE (Fast Ocean Rapid Troposphere Experiment). FORTE reproduces some realistic teleconnections, such as the Arctic Oscillation (AO), the NAO, the PNA, the SAM, the African Monsoon and ENSO, along with several other teleconnections, which resemble to varying degrees the corresponding NCEP patterns. However, FORTE tends to underestimate the strength of the correlation patterns and the patterns tend to be slightly too zonal. The accuracy of frequency of occurrence is variable between patterns. The Indian Ocean is a region where FORTE performs poorly, as it does not reproduce the teleconnection patterns linked to the Indian Monsoon. In contrast, the North and equatorial Pacific and North Atlantic are reasonably well reproduced.
Why Two-Year-Olds Fail to Learn Gestures as Object Labels: Evidence from Looking Time and Forced-Choice Measures

The range of symbols that children treat as object names narrows over the course of development as children accrue more experience with and exposure to language. By two years of age, children no longer treat gestures as object labels. Here we investigate the source of this new-found failure and ask whether it stems primarily from a failure to form associations between gestures and their referents, as opposed to a failure to interpret these associations as referential. To explore these possibilities, we tested word versus gesture learning in a paradigm consisting of both a preferential looking task (designed to detect implicit associations) and a forced-choice task (designed to index explicit symbol-to-referent mapping). Our findings reveal that unlike two-year-olds in the word condition, two-year-olds in the gesture condition failed to demonstrate associations between gestures and objects in either task, suggesting that they did not form associative links between gestures and their intended referent. Importantly, those who did exhibit associations during preferential looking were also more likely to demonstrate successful learning of gestures in the forced-choice task. In contrast, 18-month-olds readily formed associations between gestures and objects. We conclude that the decline in receptivity to gestural labels during the second year is due to a failure to form reliable associations between gestures and their referents.
Drentea induced Relocation on Depression − Three Gorges Project Experiencing a Forced Relocation at Different Life Stages : The Effects of China ' s

Guided by the life course perspective and the stress severity perspective, this study aims to evaluate the question: Does the Three Gorges Project–induced relocation affect people of different ages differently? Using a quasi-experimental design, we collected preand post-relocation data from a sample (n = 1,056) that consists of both relocatees and nonmovers from the Three Gorges region in China. We found that relocatees of all age groups have experienced a similar level of elevation of depressive symptoms due to the relocation. No age group was exempted from the detrimental effects of the Three Gorges Project–induced relocation. Although it is usually much easier for young adults to relocate, as compared to older adults, a forced relocation is such an extraordinary stressor that its strong effects have overridden other forces that normally shape our life experiences at different life stages.
Elastic properties of HMX.

Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations have been used to calculate isothermal elastic properties for {beta}-, {alpha}-, and {delta}-HMX. The complete elastic tensor for each polymorph was determined at room temperature and pressure via analysis of microscopic strain fluctuations using formalism due to Rahman and Parrinello [J. Chem. Phys. 76,2662 (1982)]. Additionally, the isothermal compression curve was computed for {beta}-HMX for 0 {le} p {le} 10.6 GPa; the bulk modulus K and its pressure derivative K{prime} were obtained from two fitting forms employed previously in experimental studies of the {beta}-HMX equation of state. Overall, the results indicate good agreement between the bulk modulus predicted from the measured and calculated compression curves. The bulk modulus determined directly from the elastic tensor of {beta}-HMX is in significant disagreement with the compression curve-based results. The explanation for this discrepancy is an area of current research.
Title Estimation of optical power and heat-dissipation coefficient forthe photo-electrothermal theory for LED systems

With the use of wall-plug efficiency, estimation techniques for the optical power and heat-dissipation coefficient of LEDs are introduced in this paper to enrich the photo-electrothermal theory, which has provided a framework for analyzing LED systems. The estimation methods consist of simple procedures for optical and electrical power measurements, which are easy for LED device manufacturers and system designers to follow. The extended theory has been tested with several types of LED devices, with reasonably good agreements between theoretical and practical results.
Plant dispersal and establishment Important factors affecting species composition of meadow communities

The ability of a non-resident species to establish a viable population when sown or transplanted into a target community is often considered as indirect evidence that its absence in the community is caused by dispersal limitation. We evaluated the importance of dispersal and habitat limitation in an oligotrophic wet meadow community by a sowing experiment where seeds of three resident and three nonresident dicotyledonous species were added to the target community, into disturbed (litter and moss removal by raking) and undisturbed plots. The sowing experiment was supplemented with a transplant experiment, to overcome possible seedling failure in early life stages. Recruitment and survival of seedlings and transplants were monitored for five years. Disturbance increased recruitment, but decreased survival, in both resident and non-resident species. Recruitment was slightly better in the non-resident species, while survival was slightly better in the resident species. Three species reached the reproductive stage at the end of the experiment, one resident and two non-resident. The two non-resident species would probably be able to establish viable populations and consequently their absence can be caused by dispersal limitation. On the contrary, one of the non-resident species was not able to overcome the seedling state, and this inability can cause its absence. Two of resident species failed to establish themselves; this failure to establish is probably related to the prevailing vegetative propagation of these species. This shows that the failure to establish is not sufficient evidence that a species is habitat limited. * Article history: received 28 June 2010; accepted 27 January 2011 † Corresponding author: Alena Vítová, alena.vitova@prf.jcu. cz
RNA secondary structure detection programs with an emphasis on covariance models

RNA SECONDARY STRUCTURE DETECTION PROGRAMS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON COVARIANCE MODELS by Justin Slotman RNA secondary structure prediction requires a different approach from traditional alignment methods. Functional RNAs often have their secondary structure better conserved than their primary structure. Covariance models, probabilistic models that utilize stochastic-context-free grammars, are one approach. CMs allow for homology to be detected where purely sequence-based methods would fail. A background on CMs is given, as well as a background of the major classes of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Comparisons are made between some CM-using tools (the Infernal suite and CMfinder) and some other RNA secondary structure tools (CARNAC, miRNAminer, Pfold, Mfold) as well as between Infernal and the primary alignment tool BLAT. CMfinder and Infernal are also compared against each other. RNA secondary structure databases, mainly Rfam and miRBase, are used to provide sequence and alignment data.

ANN Interior PM Synchronous Machine Performance Improvement Unit

This paper propose improve of the permanent magnet machine efficiency by introducing two neural network units, using the back propagation (BP) learning algorithm due to its benefits. These units will drive the motor at highly performance and optimum efficiency. The first unit using voltage reduction technique, and presents performance improvement with maximum torque per ampere control technique. The second in the manner of V \ f control, at various frequencies values. For each one of them, the goal is to pick the peaks of efficiencies at various torque values. For second one, it can be generate set of curves which govern the operation of optimum efficiency by giving suitable voltage at each frequency value. Also, deduction for one function connects between input and output for neural network, to can use with each static and dynamic model to improve its performance. The validity of these units comes from comparisons between techniques values obtained in MATLAB environment with corresponding from Neural Networks.
The weaker sex? Gender differences in punishment across Matrilineal and Patriarchal Societies

This paper investigates the hypothesis that women are underrepresented in leadership roles due to a lower ability to influence others. By comparing societies that differ in the inheritance rights of men and women, we trace the origins of such difference. The results of a public good game with third party punishment indicate that in patriarchal societies there are persistent gender differences in social influence while in matrilineal societies these differences are smaller. While in the patriarchal society sanctioning behavior is not different across genders, cooperation is lower in groups with a female monitor than a male monitor. In contrast, in the matrilineal society male monitors sanction more often than female monitors, though cooperation does not depend on the gender of the monitor.
Computational Design for Manufacturing

Manufacturing is being revolutionized by several technological advances such as 3D printing, nanomanufacturing, flexible electronics, and industrial robotics, to name a few. As these technologies become more capable and less costly, we are approaching a time when fabrication of functional products that perform complex customized tasks will be accessible to ordinary people. However, to fabricate an object one first needs to design it and content creation remains a challenge. This is because functional objects are typically designed to simultaneously optimize many different objectives including shape, appearance, strength, elasticity, dynamics, and high level functionality. Therefore, only experienced engineers possess the knowledge and skills to efficiently explore very large and complex design spaces which includes geometry, materials, electronics, software, and fabrication processes. My research addresses these challenges developing design tools that can incorporate this complexity, enabling experts to explore a wider range of solutions and bringing down the design barrier for casual users. To this end, my research draws ideas from a variety of different fields and therefore lies at the interface of geometry processing, data analytics, robotics, mechanical engineering and human computer interaction. My general approach is to extract expert knowledge from a data collection designed by engineers which have embedded design intent, including manufacturing considerations. I combine this data with geometry processing and simulation algorithms to develop systems for interactive manipulation, composition and optimization of complex mechanisms.
Rheological Study on Crosslinking and Gelation of Amidated Carboxymethylcellulose Solutions

Viscosupplementation is an intra-articular symptomatic treatment of mild osteoarthritis in synovial joints. It normally consists of single or repeated injections of hyaluronan-based fluids, aimed to restore desirable viscoelastic behavior of the synovial fluid and thus recreate the intra-articular joint homeostasis. Recently, a novel viscosupplement based on amidated carboxymethylcellulose has been developed by blending the soluble polymer (CMCAp) with its crosslinked derivative (CMCAg) in appropriate proportions and concentrations in order to ensure an optimal combination of flow behavior and viscoelastic properties. The present work is concerned with the rheological monitoring of the crosslinking reaction performed at 25 °C by starting from aqueous CMCAp solutions in order to describe the time evolution of the linear viscoelastic moduli occurring along the whole gelation process and to individuate how the polymer concentration affects the mechanical response at the sol-gel transition and the fractal dimension of the incipient polymeric network.

All of the research results were evaluated with Tukey Multiple Comparison Test.
A Study of Factors Affecting Customer Adoption of 3 G Service in China

Though Chinese telecom operators has provided 3G service to their customers for more than three years, the study of the factors affecting customer adoption of 3G service in China has not been conducted yet by scholars. The purpose of this study is to fill this void. Through the investigation of the samples of 413 customers of 3 Chinese telecom operators and the data analysis run by AMOS 18.0 and SPSS 18.0, we found that perceived value has a positive impact on customer adoption, that perceived enjoyment and perceived service quality have a positive impact on perceived value respectively, and that perceived safety and perceived price has a negative impact on perceived value respectively. However, we found unexpectedly that industry standard has no impact on perceived value.
Is prosocial behavior egocentric?. The “invisible hand” of emotions

Les travaux d’economie experimentale apportent la contradiction au postulat d’un homo oeconomicus rationnel mu par son seul interet. Les motivations prosociales y apparaissent en effet, comme un determinant important des decisions individuelles. Il reste que ces comportements sont irrationnels par rapport aux enseignements de la theorie economique conventionnelle, induisant souvent des pertes economiques pour le sujet. Les avancees des neurosciences renouvellent le debat et font apparaitre trois elements pregnants. Tout d’abord, elles mettent en evidence l’aspect remunerateur des comportements d’altruisme, de charite, de cooperation et revelent que ces situations ne seront pas seulement sources de « couts » pour les sujets. Les comportements prosociaux pourraient ainsi etre consideres comme le produit de plusieurs determinants, non mutuellement exclusifs qui se distinguent par leur nature extrinseque (pour ce qui est des incitations materielles et normes sociales) ou intrinseque (motivation, emotion). Il en resulte un enrichissement des notions d’interet et de rationalite qui, parallelement aux influences socioculturelles, doivent integrer la dimension emotionnelle. Par ailleurs, on sait desormais un peu mieux comment s’opere le processus deliberatif face a ces decisions « problematiques », dans lesquelles convictions, croyances, preferences et affects du sujet entrent en conflit ; l’emotion ressentie pourrait ainsi etre integree dans une elaboration logique. Cependant, les enseignements des neurosciences montrent egalement la complexite des processus cerebraux, impliquant une interaction et une relation de concurrence/cooperation entre le systeme deliberatif et le systeme emotionnel.
Dispersal of the White Stork Ciconia ciconia in the Lonjsko polje Nature Park, Croatia

There are two main types of dispersal: natal and reproductive. Natal dispersal is more common and individuals travel a greater distance than during reproductive dispersal. Direction and distances depend on various factors. Dispersal of the White Storks, Ciconia ciconia, was analysed using resightings of colour-ringed individuals in the Lonjsko polje Nature Park, Croatia. 36.7% observed individuals did not disperse outside the natal settlement, while only 14.3% covered a distance longer than 50 km. The median dispersal distance was 4.21 km (IQR = 0 8.8, n = 49); the correlation of dispersion with the number of nests in settlements and the size of the settlements was studied. Results have shown that storks are dispersing from settlements with a small number of nest to settlements with a large number of nests and that dispersal does not depend on the size of the settlement.
USE OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGI FOR THE CONTROL OF MUSTARD APHID (LIPAPHIS ERYSIMI) ON CANOLA (BRASSICA NAPUS L.)

The study was carried out to assess the virulence of 4 local and 3 exotic entomopathogenic fungal strains against mustard aphid (Lipaphis erysimi Kalt.) under laboratory and screen house conditions. According to LC50 and LT50 values, four strains viz., Lecanicillium lecanii (PDRL922), Paecilomyces lilacinus (PDRL812), Beauveria bassiana (PDRL1187) and Metarhizium anisopliae (PDRL526) are found to be effective against the mustard aphid. The strain PDRL711 of M. anisopliae was found less effective, whereas, strains PDRL738 of M. anisopliae and PDRL1029 of L. lecanii were found avirulent. Based on the lab bioassays, each entomopathogenic fungal strain was used @ 10 7 c.f. u. ml -1 to evaluate its efficacy against mustard aphid infestation on canola plants under screen house conditions. Data showed a non-significant reduction in efficacy of different strains under screen house conditions as compared to lab bioassays. Strain PDRL922 reduced its efficacy from 98 to 83%, strain PDRL812 from 100 to 73% and Strain PDRL1187 from 88 to 77%. However, strain PDRL526 showed as increase in efficacy from 72 to 83% and strain PDRL711 from 44 to 70%. Strains PDRL1029 and PDRL738 appeared to be avirulent during lab as well as screen house trials. The study revealed that the strain PDRL526 of M. anisopliae, PDRL922 of L. lecanii, PDRL1187 of B. bassiana, PDRL812 of P. lilacinus, and PDRL711 of M. anisopliae have potential for use as bio-pesticides against mustard aphid under field conditions.
