Oxygenated volatile organic carbon in the western Pacific convective center: ocean cycling, air–sea gas exchange and atmospheric transport

A suite of oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs – acetaldehyde, acetone, propanal, butanal and butanone) were measured concurrently in the surface water and atmosphere of the South China Sea and Sulu Sea in November 2011. A strong correlation was observed between all OVOC concentrations in the surface seawater along the entire cruise track, except for acetaldehyde, suggesting similar sources and sinks in the surface ocean. Additionally, several phytoplankton groups, such as haptophytes or pelagophytes, were also correlated to all OVOCs, indicating that phytoplankton may be an important source of marine OVOCs in the South China and Sulu seas. Humic- and protein-like fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) components seemed to be additional precursors for butanone and acetaldehyde. The measurement-inferred OVOC fluxes generally showed an uptake of atmospheric OVOCs by the ocean for all gases, except for butanal. A few important exceptions were found along the Borneo coast, where OVOC fluxes from the ocean to the atmosphere were inferred. The atmospheric OVOC mixing ratios over the northern coast of Borneo were relatively high compared with literature values, suggesting that this coastal region is a local hotspot for atmospheric OVOCs. The calculated amount of OVOCs entrained into the ocean seemed to be an important source of OVOCs to the surface ocean. When the fluxes were out of the ocean, marine OVOCs were found to be enough to control the locally measured OVOC distribution in the atmosphere. Based on our model calculations, at least 0.4 ppb of marine-derived acetone and butanone can reach the upper troposphere, where they may have an important influence on hydrogen oxide radical formation over the western Pacific Ocean.
Quantitative-genetic analysis of intensity growth of gilts fertile breed and their hybrids in the nucleus farm

The paper analyzes the 2760 gilts four different genotypes, two of which are pure bred Landrace (429 gilts) and Yorkshire (421 gilts) and two hybrid F1(YxL) (999 gilts) and F1(LxY) (911 gilts), tested in the period from 2010 to 2011.Analyzed by the following traits of intensity growth: weight at weaning (WW), daily gain at suckling (DGS), weight in rearing (WR), daily gain at rearing (DGR), weight in test (WT), daily gain on test (DGT), weight of gilts (WG) and life gain (LG). Due to the manifestation of heterosis effect, hybrid gilts in rearing made any higher body weight of about 3 kg, while the age of 160 days on average had a higher body weight by 7.0 kg compared to the pure breed gilts, which resulted in higher daily gain in different phases of rearing. Degree of heritability for analysis traits of intensity growth is of medium to high. Heritability (h2) for daily gains were larger (0.640 for DGS, 0.858 for DGR and 0.859 for DGT) in relation to the heritability for achieved body weight (0.584 for WW, 0.558 for WR and 0.816 for WT) in different phases of rearing. Between the most observed traits were found positive genetic and phenotypic correlations. The negative correlation found between WR, DGR and WT, DGT (rg= -0.055 to -0.108; rp = -0.010 to - 0.033), between WW, DGS and DGR (rg= -0.301 respectively -0.466; rp = -0.234 respectively -0.271).

Comparison of Lower Limb Abnormalities on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Athletes and Healthy People in Ilam Province

Damage to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), with 250,000 procedures yearly event rate in America, the most common knee ligament injury, ACL injuries in young athletes 15 to 25 years old, is most common. researchers have reported annual operating 175,000 ACL, done in America, which has cost more than $ 2 billion. Ligament reconstruction, is the most common way to treat. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of lower limb abnormalities on anterior cruciate ligament injuries in athletes and healthy people in Ilam province. To this end, 60 people were injured, including two groups Minsk, and is healthy. , Which all persons participating wrestlers, the club the province and city are Ilam ( mean age 88 without injury / 28 years, standard deviation 3/38 height 177/85 cm, and the standard deviation 7/62, and weighs 76/9 kg, SD 6/70). And ( affected people, average age 26/65 years, SD 5/38, height 175/6 cm, and a standard deviation of 69 quarters, and weighs 77/3 kg, SD 9/39). In this study, the rate of rotation of the tibia and anti versions and degrees of varus was measured. The results showed that the rotation of the tibia, the anterior cruciate ligament has an effect, and the rotation of the tibia was also identified as a risk factor for knee was aligned. Findings from this study showed that increasing the angle of the anti version, is one of the causes of anterior cruciate ligament injury. Others, the increased rotation of the tibia, only the anterior cruciate ligament, affects P (<.05). Hence, identification of risk factors, bio- mechanical and exclusive screening athletes with increased anti- version angle, and increased tibial rotation, and increasing degrees of virus, which may make them more susceptible to anterior cruciate ligament is essential and provide prevention programs for the teachers they need to be.
PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL RESPONSES OF WHEAT CULTIVARS UNDER SALINITY STRESS

Effects of NaCl salinity was studied in eight wheat cultivars, Shirazi, Toss, Roshan, Hirman, Bolani, Falat, Kavir and Star, grown under salt stress (nutrient solution containing 0, 100, 200 and 300 mM NaCl) conditions. The results revealed that salinity caused significant decreases in the growth parameters such as root and shoot dry weight. Toss and Falat cultivars had the highest decreasing. The negative effect of salinity on plant was due increasing Na + and decreasing K + content in the leaves. Bolani and Toss cultivars had the highest Na + and lowest K + content. In leaves of plants, ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and catalase (CAT) activity increased and guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) decreased with salinity. Changes in proline and soluble carbohydrate content in wheat cultivars showed that at 300 mM NaCl, Toss and Star cultivars had the highest carbohydrate and proline content. The results suggest that cv. Roshan, exhibits a better protection mechanism against salinity.
The identity of emigrants from Mexico City

This paper investigates the identity of emigrants from Mexico City and its consequences for adaptation in the City of Leon. Specifically it describes how identities are formed, investigates the origins, uses, and possible connotations of identity names of migrants from Mexico City and locals from Leon. Our findings suggest that although there are common identity elements between internal migrants and locals, the interaction between them brought up differential aspects of their identity in terms of religious beliefs and work ethics. The identity name chilango , given to a person from Mexico City, carries a negative connotation and it can create a stereotype and a risk of prejudice. Since a person called this name might face difficulties integrating with the host society, migrants change the stereotyped behaviours attached to such a name. Therefore, the ability of migrants interviewed in this study to integrate has not been prohibited by an identity-based conflict with locals, but integration has required facing negative stereotypes and prejudice attached to a person from Mexico City.
Inflation Dynamics with Bounded Rationality

There is an unbalanced specification in the standard new Keynesian model. In the model, stickiness is assumed in the price setting, and then an individual firm has a fixed probability to change its price in any given period, which means that the market is imperfect. On the other hand, an individual firm is assumed to be one that can conduct profit maximization and calculate the degree of nominal rigidity in the future completely. In order to avoid this unbalanced specification, we suppose that firms choose the price with bounded rationality. Concretely, we assume that firms refer to lagged inflation in the price setting, which is one of the simplest forms to express bounded rationality. We then obtain the hybrid new Keynesian Phillips curve to express inflation dynamics, named the sticky price with bounded rationality Phillips curve (SPBR).
The Price of Interest Rate Variance Risk and Optimal Investments in Interest Rate Derivatives

Recent research on unspanned stochastic variance raises the possibility that interest rate derivatives constitute an important component of optimal fixed income portfolios. In this paper, I estimate a flexible dynamic term structure model that allows for unspanned stochastic variance on an extensive data set of swaps and swaptions. I find that variance risk is predominantly unspanned by bonds, and that the price of risk on the unspanned variance factor is significantly larger in absolute value than the prices of risk on the term structure factors. Consequently, Sharpe ratios on variance sensitive derivatives are about three times larger than Sharpe ratios on bonds or short-term bond futures. These findings are corroborated by an analysis of the Treasury futures market, where the variance risk premium is estimated with a model independent approach. I then solve the dynamic portfolio choice problem for a long-term fixed income investor with and without access to interest rate derivatives and find substantial utility gains from participating in the derivatives market.
Frequency Hopping for Fair Radio Resources Allocation in TVWS

Using frequency hopping for fair resources allocationin TV white spaces is proposed and evaluated in this paper.The degree of fairness is judged by the achieved throughputby different secondary users. The throughput of the secondaryusers is determined by their permissible transmission power andthe interference from the TV and other secondary users. Thepermissible transmission power for secondary users in TV whitespaces in different channels is investigated. The main concern ofcalculating the permissible secondary user transmission power isprotecting the primary TV receivers from harmful interference.With the aid of SPLAT (RF Signal Propagation, Loss, AndTerrain analysis tool), the received TV signal power in a studycase of the surroundings of the city of G¨avle is fetched. Theinterference from the TV transmission into the free channels ismeasured in six different locations. The simulated system is adeployed Wi-Fi access points in a building representing an officeenvironment in an urban area. Moreover, the size of the hoppingset and the number of APs influences are investigated.

ECOLOGICAL TOURS AS KEY FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN TRANSYLVANIA

This paper aims to analyse the current state of eco-touristic destinations in the Transylvanian region of Romania, with special attention on the supply and characteristics of ecological tours and its impact on the local community, the environment and the economy. The analysis, in the first place, is based on an exploratory analysis, which identifies the main stakeholders. Afterwards primary data, collected through a structured online questionnaire, present on one hand the approach of the tour operators and tour guides towards the organization of ecological tours, on the other hand, the perception of the customers towards eco-touristic products. The results indicate that a high percentage of tour operators and tour guides show indifferent attitude towards the organization of ecological tours. However, most of the stakeholders are aware of the fact that in order to preserve our natural sites, on one hand, there is a high need to increase the ecological tour offer and on the other hand, it is crucial to educate both the tourists and the local community. The customers, depending on their socio-economic status and educational level, fall in very different groups when the principles of sustainability are to be kept in practice.
Species inventory, ecology, and seasonal distribution patterns of Culicidae (Insecta: Diptera) in the National Park Donau-Auen (Lower Austria)

In order to improve the limited database on species inventories and ecology of Culicidae in Austria, we monitored hydrological and physico-chemical parameters of breeding habitats of the Culicidae species of Danubean wetlands from March to October 2011 in the National Park Donau-Auen (Lower Austria). A total of 34 eggrafts, 1022 larval, 80 pupal, and 221 adult Culicidae were collected. We detected 15 mosquito species belonging to the genera Anopheles Meigen, 1818, Culex Linnæus, 1758, Culiseta Felt, 1904, Coquillettidia Dyar, 1905, Aedes Meigen, 1818 and Ochlerotatus Lynch Arribalzaga, 1891. In the larval and pupal stage, Ochlerotatus geniculatus (Olivier, 1791) (64.1%) and Culex territans Walker, 1856 (18.7%) were most abundant. Based on abiotic and biotic parameters, sampling sites were grouped into four clusters. The results show that water level and -persistence, pH, conductivity, and phosphate concentrations had a significant influence on species distribution, and that floodplain dynamics are a key factor for the seasonal and spatial distribution of mosquito larvae in the National Park.
Studies on the various parameters underying the synthesis of nano particles and the in-vitro stability of nano particles

It has been previously stated that the gold nanoparticles were synthesized using various green extracts of plants. The synthesized gold nanoparticles were characterized under SEM and EDX to account on the size and composition of the nanoparticles. It was found that the nanoparticles were around 30 nm in size, which stands to be tremendous Nano dimension that can be achieved through a green synthesis approach. The successful reduction of metallic gold into Nano gold particles paved the way forward to the study of the various parameters underlying the synthesis of nanoparticles. The parameters that were considered for the study include pH of the chloroauric acid used and the temperature at which the reaction was carried out. The reaction was carried in varying pH ranging from pH6 to pH 10 and at different temperatures ranging from room temperature to boiling temperature. It was found that the optimum parameter for the synthesis was pH 8 and the synthesis reaction was complete at room temperature. Further, the synthesized nanoparticles were subjected to in vitro stability check at wide range of pH, storage conditions at ±28, 4 0C and -20 0C and sterility check at 121 lbs. The synthesized gold nanoparticles emerged out to be viable upon on all these subjected procedures.
Trichome, a Functional Diversity Phenotype in Plant

Trichomes play a very important role in the process of evolution for plant which are epidermal appendages covering the surface of plants. In this paper, some progress concerning the genes responsible for trichome formation is presented for monocots and dicotyledons plants. Meanwhile, the special structures and physiological functions of trichome are briefly introduced, such as reflectance, energy balance, ultraviolet protection, drought resistance, gas exchange, insect resistance and disease resistance. The review provides a theoretical basis for the further study of other trichome related traits in plants
Simulation of casting filling process using the lattice Boltzmann method

Numerical simulation of casting filling process with complex shape is time-consuming. Compared with the traditional SOLA-VOF method, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) calculates the pressure field by particle distribution functions instead of the correction of the velocity and pressure fields, which greatly simplifies the calculation process. In addition, the LBM provides a flexible approach which can be easily parallelized. In this study, the LBM is employed to simulate casting filling process. An implementation of a volume-of-fluid (VOF) method within the lattice Boltzmann framework is proposed to capture the free surface of the casting filling process. A Smagorinsky large eddy simulation (LES) model is adopted to improve the numerical stability of the LBM. An adaptive time stepping technique is implemented to ensure an efficient and stable simulation. The model is validated by the experimental and simulation results of Campbell box filling process. The filling process of complex casting is simulated, and the result is compared with the filling process obtained by the SOLA-VOF method. The prediction accuracy and reliability of free surface profile is analysed.
Perceived Risk is Important for Consumers' Acceptance of Genetically Modified Foods, but Trust in Industry not Really: A Means-End Analysis of German Consumers

Applies the means-end approach to investigate how German consumers relate GM food attributes to values via perceived consequences in their purchase decisions. Analyses in particular the importance of risk-related dimensions and issues of (dis)trust for different levels of purchase intentions. Identifies two segments: rejecters (n=24) and accepters (n=36). Finds considerable similarities in means-end chains between segments, in particular that risk plays a much bigger role than trust for purchase intentions. Furthermore, for both segments the link between trust and risk is found to be weak which implies to reconsider results from previous empirical studies pointing out the strong interaction of trust and perceived risk.
Investigations on 2,7-diamino-9-fluorenol photochemistry

Photoremovable protecting groups have been long known as useful synthetic tools. They are commonly linked to a substrate of interest to make them unable to react, forming in this manner a “caged compound”. Upon irradiation the protecting group undergoes a photochemical reaction that results in release of the substrate and restores its activity. The main goal of this work was that of identifying a system that would efficiently release alcohol, as this could be readily applied in biology. The idea was based on the photochemistry of 9fluorenol which is well established and known. 2,7-diamino-9-fluorenol was efficiently synthesized and LFP investigations were carried out to clarify the reaction mechanism in different solvents. Transients in the infrared area were observed in the solvents TFE and HFIP but their character remains unclear. We suspect their cationic character, and their formation either via singlet or a very fast triplet state. Our mechanistic studies provided rate constants of formation and decay of the transients in three different solvents (TFE, methanol and water). Two derivatives of 2,7-diamino-9-fluorenol (X = C6H5 and COCH3) were synthesized using a four-step synthetic route. The photorelease of these derivatives was elucidated by employing irradiation experiments and product analysis. The results indicate that 2,7diamino-9-fluorenyl acetate liberates acetic acid efficiently whereas the efficiency rate of release of 2,7-diamino-9-fluorenyl phenyl ether is low.

Automatic Deficits can lead to executive deficits in ADHD

It has been well documented an executive dysfunction in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and with Reading Disorder (RD). The purpose of the present study was to test an alternative hypothesis that deficits in executive functioning within ADHD may be partially due to an impairment of the automatic processing. In addition, since the co-occurrence between ADHD and RD, we tested the hypothesis that the automatic processing may be a possible common cognitive factor between ADHD and RD. We investigated the automatic processing of selective visual attention through two experiments. 12 children with ADHD, 17 with ADHD+RD and 29 typically developing children, matched for age and gender, performed two tasks: Visual Information Processing Task and Clock Test. As expected, ADHD and ADHD+RD groups differed from the control group in controlled process task, suggesting a deficit in executive functioning. All clinical subjects also exhibited a lower performance in automatic processes, compared to control group. The results of this study suggest that executive deficits within ADHD can be partially due to an impairment of automatic processing.
