THE GALEX/S4G UV–IR COLOR–COLOR DIAGRAM: CATCHING SPIRAL GALAXIES AWAY FROM THE BLUE SEQUENCE

We obtained GALEX FUV, NUV, and Spitzer/IRAC 3.6 μm photometry for > 2000 ? > galaxies, available for 90% of the S4G sample. We find a very tight GALEX blue sequence (GBS) in the (FUV–NUV) versus (NUV–[3.6]) color–color diagram, which is populated by irregular and spiral galaxies, and is mainly driven by changes in the formation timescale (τ) and a degeneracy between τ and dust reddening. The tightness of the GBS provides an unprecedented way of identifying star-forming galaxies and objects that are just evolving to (or from) what we call the GALEX green valley (GGV). At the red end of the GBS, at (NUV–[3.6]) > 5 ? > , we find a wider GALEX red sequence (GRS) mostly populated by E/S0 galaxies that has a perpendicular slope to that of the GBS and of the optical red sequence. We find no such dichotomy in terms of stellar mass (measured by M [ 3.6 ] ? > ) since both massive ( M ⋆ > 10 11 M ⊙ ? > ) blue- and red-sequence galaxies are identified. The type that is proportionally more often found in the GGV is the S0-Sa’s, and most of these are located in high-density environments. We discuss evolutionary models of galaxies that show a rapid transition from the blue to the red sequence on a timescale of 108 yr.
On Occurrences of Left-Peripheral Elements in English

In these constructions, some element, typically an argument, is dislocated {i"om the VP-intemal argUlnent position to the clause-initial position which is the so-called left periphery. Namely, in (I), the topicalized element That book, the focalized element THAT BOOK, and the wh-element What count as left-peripheral elements. Although quite similar on surface, the topicalized element and the focalized element are distinguished with respect to the presence of stress, that is, only the focalized element receives a stress. Throughout this paper, the focalized element is capitalized to signifY the locus of the stTess and to clearly make an apparent difference betvveen TOP and FOe. Besides, this paper con tines the discussion to cases where only arguments are left-peripheral elements. The eX31nples in (1) are sitnple ca.ses where only one element is located in the matrix left periphery. The prit11ary concern of this paper is whether or not more than one element can occupy the left periphery. It is true that a number of rese31-ches have rested on English data where multiple elements do occur it1 the left periphery, but the status of the data is not uncontroversial. On a closer scrutiny, a number of English speakers do not readily pennit multiple occunences of the left-peripheral elements. This paper aims to clarify how far multiple OCClm"enCes of the left-pelipheral elements are permitted in English, presenting informant data obtait1ed from a questionnaire survey. Besides, this paper provides an approach to capturing their possible occurrences in tenns of the basic framework of generative syntax. This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 will
Conception d'un langage dédié à l'analyse et la transformation de programmes

Developper des analyseurs statiques necessite une manipulation intensive de structures d'arbres et de graphes representant le programme. La finalite de cette these est de proposer des constructions de langage dediees au prototypage d'outils d'analyse et de transformation de programmes et inspirees de la reecriture de termes et de termes-graphes. L'originalite de notre approche est d'embarquer ces nouvelles constructions dans les langages generalistes sous la forme d'un langage dedie embarque. Les travaux de cette these se fondent sur le langage Tom qui propose d'embarquer des constructions de reecriture dans des langages generalistes comme Java. La premiere contribution de cette these a ete de formaliser les langages embarques sous le concept de langage ilot. Ce formalisme a ainsi permis de certifier la compilation du langage Tom. Nos travaux sur l'analyse de Bytecode nous ont ensuite conduit a reflechir a la representation et la manipulation de graphes de flot de programmes et nous avons alors propose des constructions de langage inspirees de la reecriture de termes-graphes. Une autre contribution de cette these est la conception d'un langage de strategies adapte a l'expression de proprietes sur un programme. Associe au filtrage, ce langage permet d'exprimer de maniere declarative des analyses et des transformations sur des arbres ou des graphes. Enfin, l'ensemble des propositions de cette these a ete integre au langage Tom sous la forme de nouvelles constructions syntaxiques ou d'ameliorations de constructions existantes et a ainsi pu etre applique a l'analyse du langage Java.
Caractérisation micromécanique de matériaux en couche mince destinés aux micro- et nano- technologies

Le developpement des micro- et nano- technologies est aujourd'hui dependant de la connaissance du comportement mecanique des couches minces constitutives de ces dispositifs. La caracterisation experimentale des materiaux est primordiale car les proprietes mecaniques se trouvent, a une telle echelle, fortement dependantes de l'historique de la couche et de sa microstructure. D'autre part, la mise en œuvre de ces couches minces est multiple. Cette these presente une approche transversale, s'articulant autour de techniques de nanoindentation, pour caracteriser des couches deposees sur substrat, et de traction uniaxiale applicable a des couches minces autoportantes d'epaisseur submicronique. Elle s'appuie notamment sur un concept de platine de microtraction nomade qui a ete ameliore et evalue a l'aide d'une mise en œuvre sur des eprouvettes en aluminium pulverise d'epaisseur variant entre 700nm et 1,5µm et des eprouvettes d'or electrolytique de 4µm d'epaisseur.
Digital Image Computing Techniques and Applications , 21-22 January 2002 , Melbourne , Australia Robust Lip Tracking with Improved Active Shape Models

This paper intr oduces a r obust lip tracking algorithm based on impr oved active shape models. After introducing the principle of active shape models, our two main achievements in dealing with lip tr acking are presented. One is that a r obust model fitting pr ocedure substantially dif fering from the original active shape model appr oach has been de veloped. The other is that tr acking on eac h new frame is based on a priori knowledge about lip appear ance and the resultant position and shape of the pr vious frame as well as the curr ent image structure. This combination has secur ed a consistent and accur ate global lip tracking. The algorithm has been tested on various real video sequences and has consistently demonstrated robust performance on tr acking deformable shapes.
TENSILE PROPERTIES AND FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF GEOPOLYMER MATRIX COMPOSITES WITH CARBON FIBER REINFORCEMENT AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE THESIS

The tensile stress-strain and tension-tension fatigue of geopolymer matrix composites reinforced with 0/90 carbon fibers was investigated at 23 and 300°C in laboratory air. Geopolymers are inorganic polymeric materials composed of alumina, silica, and alkali metal oxides. Because geopolymers are synthesized as a fluid mixture or particles and liquid, they can be cast into a desired shape, and cured at only slightly elevated temperatures. The relative ease of synthesis and low processing temperatures make geopolymers an attractive choice as a matrix material for composite materials. Geopolymers also offer resistance to heat and oxidizing environments. Currently, geopolymer matrix composites are being considered as possible replacements for ceramic matrix composites and high-temperature polymer matrix composites. In this work composites with two different types of geopolymer matrix were evaluated: (1) composite with a sodium-based geopolymer matrix (NaGP) and (2) composite with a potassiumbased geopolymer matrix (KGP). Experimental results revealed a degrading effect of elevated temperature on tensile stress-strain behavior and tensile properties. Tensiontension fatigue tests were conducted at 300°C. Fatigue run-out was set to 2x105 cycles. Fatigue run-out was only achieved at a low maximum stress of 30% UTS. Test specimens were examined before and after testing using an optical microscope. Examinations revealed severe degradation of the geopolymer matrix due to elevated temperature as well as due to mechanical loading. Profuse cracking and comminution of the geopolymer matrix occurred early in all tests. As a result further mechanical response of the
Fragments of the seagrasses Halodule wrightii and Halophila johnsonii as potential recruits in Indian River Lagoon, Florida

The role of vegetative seagrass fragments as a dispersal and recruitment mechanism has received little attention. Research on the potential of vegetative fragments as a dispersal mechanism can help us better understand the ability of seagrass beds to recover from disturbance events, to recruit into new areas, and to survive over long periods. The objectives of this study were to (1) deter- mine the viability of vegetative fragments of Halodule wrightii and Halophila johnsonii as a function of time after removal from sediment, (2) determine whether season of collection affects the fragments' recruitment potential, (3) determine if the source of fragments of H. johnsonii affects viability, (4) determine how long fragments float, and (5) determine the frequency of fragment settlement and rooting vs. time. Mesocosm experiments with plants collected from Indian River Lagoon, Florida demonstrated that fragments of H. wrightii remain viable during spring for up to 4 wk with a marked decline in survival after 2 wk of drifting. Fall plants had a shorter period of viability with only 5% of fragments remaining viable by Week 2. Although the source location of the fragments did not influ- ence viability for H. johnsonii, day and season were highly significant for viability, with spring plants remaining viable for up to 4 d and fall plants remaining viable for twice as long. The short viability of H. johnsonii illustrates the importance of rapid settlement when uprooted from a source bed, limiting dispersal to short distances. H. wrightii appears to maintain its viability for a longer period of time, indicating that this species may be able to utilize fragments as a dispersal mechanism over longer dis- tances. The vegetative fragments of both H. wrightii and H. johnsonii had the ability to settle and root in mesocosms, demonstrating that fragmentation is a viable mechanism for dispersal and recruitment for these species.
THIRD DERIVATIVES OF THE INTEGRABLE PART OF AN ASTEROID HAMILTONIAN

SUMMARY: To apply the theorem of Nekhoroshev (1977) to asteroids, one flrst has to check whether a necessary geometrical condition is fulfllled: either convexity, or quasi-convexity, or only a 3-jet non-degeneracy. This requires computation of the derivatives of the integrable part of the corresponding Hamiltonian up to the third order over actions and a thorough analysis of their properties. In this paper we describe in detail the procedure of derivation and we give explicit expressions for the obtained derivatives.
Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Portugal

The Portuguese economy has been a net recipient of FDI and the Portuguese Government has had to attract more FDI. Understanding the main determinants of FDI is important to take macroeconomic policy decisions. Based on the investment demand model, this manuscript analyzes the impact of variables, such as, market size, labour cost, openness trade, and economic stability. The paper applies a static and dynamic panel data approach (Fixed Effects estimator and GMM system estimator). Our results support the hypothesis that the market size and openness trade are significant factors to explain FDI flows into Portugal. The wage and taxes are also statically significant.

The utility of behavioral telehealth for isolated populations

In this literature review, research pertaining to the use of behavioral telehealth with institutionally and geographically isolated populations is critically evaluated. Behavioral telehealth has been hypothesized as a mechanism by which to bridge gaps that exist in mental health service delivery as a result of isolation; be it institutional (such as military or incarcerated populations) or geographical (in the case of rural populations). Behavioral telehealth has been proposed as having risen from and driven by necessity. However, proponents advocate that cost savings and improved quality of care also act as a driving force in the advancement of behavioral telehealth. Critics cite lack of empirical evidence to support such claims as a primary weakness in the current state of literature on behavioral telehealth, and advocate for research pertaining to comparison of clinical outcoines via face to face and behavioral telehealth mediums. Currently, a movement toward empirical outcome research is underway, as are attempts to establish sound methodology that are notably absent in early literature pertaining to behavioral telehealth.
Management of change in a large semi-government organisation with implications for management training

In July 1983, the then Australian Broadcasting Commission embarked on a massive organisational change process. Cosmetic changes included a name change. The new Australian Broadcasting Corporation attempted to address many deficiencies recognised and recorded by Mr Alex Dix, Chairman of a Committee of Review which reported to Federal Parliament in May 1981. The first Managing Director of the restructured A.B.C., Mr Geoffrey Whitehead was appointed on 31st October, 1983. Then followed three turbulent years during which time many of the changes envisaged did not occur. Some did occur, but not without organisational trauma and others were implemented relatively successfully. Mr Whitehead's premature resignation from the organisation in December 1986, defined a specific period in which to focus an analysis of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's attempt at organisational-change. This study explores contemporary texts on the management of' organisational change. From the theories emerging, a framework for the successful management of change is developed. This framework is presented in the form of a questionnaire and then applied to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's change experiences. The changes attempted by that organisation are analysed to determine their compliance with contemporary change-management theories. The study then examines the use of training during the change process and makes some observations on the implications for training during organisational change. The conclusion of the dissertation indicates that a large number of the guidelines for successful organisational change emerging from the literature, were not observed during the ABC experience. This may validate the suggestion that the ABC's attempt at change was unsuccessful.
Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Trace Gases by Ground-Based Solar Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy

The changing composition of the earth’s atmosphere is a matter of intense scientific research as we strive to understand details of the physical and chemical mechanisms that control our climate. Fourier transform spectroscopy has been applied very successfully to the study of trace gases in the atmosphere by examining terrestrial atmospheric absorption lines in the infrared spectrum from the Sun. In fact many gases were first discovered in the atmosphere during the 1940’s from their absorption features in the infrared solar spectrum. These early optical absorption measurements of the atmosphere using the Sun as a source were made with grating spectrometers and examples of atmospheric gases first detected this way include methane and carbon monoxide (Migeotte, 1948; 1949). Continuous or semi-continuous records of infrared solar atmospheric absorption spectra have been made from ground-based Fourier transform spectrometers (FTS) since the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the first ground-based solar-tracking FTS systems were installed at Kitt Peak National observatory in the USA and at the Jungfraujoch Observatory in Switzerland (Goldman et al., 1979; Murcray et al., 1978; Zander et al., 1977). Initially interest was focused on the detection and quantification of stratospheric trace gases (Rinsland et al., 1986; Zander et al., 1986). The discovery of the Antarctic ozone hole (Farman et al., 1985) intensified interest in stratospheric chemistry and helped support the establishment of the Network for Detection of Stratospheric Change (NDSC). This global network of instrument sites became operational in 1991 with ground-based FTS amongst the suite of primary techniques being used. Photographs of the instrument at the NDSC site at Wollongong, Australia are shown for illustrative purposes in figure 1 below. Other NDSC instruments are lidars for ozone, temperature, water and aerosols; microwave instruments for ozone, water and chlorine monoxide; UV/Visible spectrographs for ozone and nitrogen dioxide; Dobson/Brewer spectrophotometers for total column ozone and regular ozone sondes. The establishment of the NDSC resulted in a huge increase in the number of infrared solar absorption measurements being made around the globe during the next few years. More recently interest in atmospheric chemistry has been focused on tropospheric pollution and anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (Barret et al., 2003; Jones et al., 2009; Mahieu et al., 1995; Nagahama and Suzuki, 2007; Paton-Walsh et al., 2008; Rinsland et al., 2000; Rinsland et al., 2001; Rinsland et al., 2002; Rinsland et al., 2008; Warneke et al., 2006; Zhao et al., 2000; Zhao
Value Co-Creation: Exploring the Role and Purpose of User Generated Content (UGC)

This paper aims to explore the role and purpose of User Generated Content (UGC) in a value co-creation project. Value co-creation has gained a significant amount of attention among marketing and Information Systems (IS) researchers in recent times. Academic researchers are putting efforts in theorizing and identifying the processes of value co-creation in different contexts. To date, while efforts are made to explore and theorize value co-creation and UGC separately, no significant research exists that attempts to consider both concepts in an integrated environment. This paper discusses value co-creation and UGC in an online environment. UGC is a common and important tool used by online consumers. A conceptual framework consisting of 4 To’s is presented after a comprehensive review of literature on Service Dominant Logic of Marketing (SDL), Value Co-Creation and UGC. UGC is used by online communities with the purpose to profit, engage, inform and obtain. Cases of Wikipedia and Lets Play Now- YouTube are used for the discussion of the framework. Based on the review, this paper provides directions for future research.
Attitudes and motives of potential sperm donors in Novi Pazar region of Serbia

The paper explores motives for being sperm donor, and relevant attitudes of potential sperm donors in Novi Pazar region of Serbia: willingness to donate to different categories of receivers, and importance of confession, ethnicity and education level of potential receivers to potential donors. Our results show that the strongest motive to donate is to help a childless couple, financial compensation is not important but reimbursements of travel expenses is; ethnicity, confession and education level of women who are recipients are not important for donation although most potential sperm donors prefer to donate to women with higher education level. These results may be used in making a good strategy for promoting sperm donors from this region of Serbia.
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF UAV-PHOTOGRAMMETRY FOR CREATING DIGITAL ELEVATION MODELS (DEM)

Abstract. This study evaluates the potential that lies in the photogrammetric processing of aerial images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles. UAV-Systems have gained increasing attraction during the last years. Miniaturization of electronic components often results in a reduction of quality. Especially the accuracy of the GPS/IMU navigation unit and the camera are of the utmost importance for photogrammetric evaluation of aerial images. To determine the accuracy of digital elevation models (DEMs), an experimental setup was chosen similar to the situation of data acquisition during a field campaign. A quarry was chosen to perform the experiment, because of the presence of different geomorphologic units, such as vertical walls, piles of debris, vegetation and even areas. In the experimental test field, 1042 ground control points (GCPs) were placed, used as input data for the photogrammetric processing and as high accuracy reference data for evaluating the DEMs. Further, an airborne LiDAR dataset covering the whole quarry and additional 2000 reference points, measured by total station, were used as ground truth data. The aerial images were taken using a MAVinci Sirius I – UAV equipped with a Canon 300D as imaging system. The influence of the number of GCPs on the accuracy of the indirect sensor orientation and the absolute deviation’s dependency on different parameters of the modelled DEMs was subject of the investigation. Nevertheless, the only significant factor concerning the DEMs accuracy that could be isolated was the flying height of the UAV.
Long-Acting Beta agonists and their relation to increased Asthma Morbidity and Mortality. The FDA Meta-Analysis

When long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) were initially introduced overseas, salmeterol was compared head to head with albuterol in a randomized, double blind study over 16 weeks (1) in addition to usual asthma care. There was a 3fold greater probability of death with the use of salmeterol (12/16,787) compared to albuterol (2/8,393). This outcome comparison did not reach statistical significance and the results did not address the issue of the use of inhaled steroids as background treatment with LABA. In the U.S. the FDA requested GlaxoSmithKline obtain more data related to its product salmeterol, sold as Serevent or Advair and this resulted in the SMART study.
