Parity sheaves, moment graphs and the p-smooth locus of Schubert varieties

We show that, with coefficients in a field or a complete local ring k, the Braden-MacPherson algorithm computes the stalks of parity sheaves with coefficients in k. As a consequence we deduce that the Braden-MacPherson algorithm may be used to calculate the characters of tilting modules for algebraic groups and show that the p-smooth locus of (Kac-Moody) Schubert varieties agrees with the rationally smooth locus, if the underlying Bruhat graph satisfies a GKM-condition.
Effect of autoclaving diets use for growing rats: digestibility and performance

Experiments were carried out to evaluate the use of autoclaving diets for growing rats. To evaluate the performance, rats born from females receiving or not autoclaving diets during the gestation were distributed in a randomized experimental design, with two treatments and a one-animal experimental unit. The diet used for female rats in gestation did not influence the weight of the rats either at birth or during the weaning period. As for digestibility and performance assays, rats from both kinds of females (with and without autoclaving diets during gestation) were distributed in a 2x2 factorial outline (normal or autoclaving diets until weaning versus normal or autoclaving diets after weaning). There was a reduction in the digestive use of the autoclaving diet gross energy after weaning and a worsening in the alimentary conversion in the period up to 42 days. The protein solubility in KOH test is a good indicative of the diet's nutritional quality loss.
ENVIRONMENTAL INTERPOLATION MODEL OF VEGETATION DISTRIBUTION PATTERN AND ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION OF DEGRADED LANDS

The diversity of native plant species comprising of natural vegetation is closely related to patterns of soil processes controlled by environmental conditions. This study developed a logistic model integrating the relationship between spatially distributed vegetation patterns and ecological conditions of soil explicitly based along heavy metal contamination gradients. A quadrat size of 1 x 1 m was used to analyze herbaceous plant species in the vicinity of industrial area Islamabad that has been contaminated with wastewater effluents. We identified two dominant communities comprising of Desmostachya bipinnata and Trifolium alexandrinum as initial colonizers. The canonical correspondence analysis revealed that grass species were more tolerant to soil Pb concentration that ranged from 1.03 to 3.44 mg kg –1 soil. The analysis of rhizosphere soil samples indicated that spots that were rich in Cd concentration were mainly occupied by Parthenium hysterophorus along with Malvastrum coromandelianum. We further interpolated the spatial patterns of soil properties in which pH and organic matter contents emerged as significant indicators. In areas where topography was uneven and natural depression created sinks for soil water, relatively higher soil heavy metal concentrations were observed. The vegetation-soil interaction (e.g. root proliferation and phytoextraction potential) has influenced the ability of plants to maintain cover on contaminated sites and thus ecological conditions were modified accordingly. We therefore stress upon considering topographic aspects and native plants of an ecosystem into one continuum system to address the restoration processes on degraded lands.
The Determinants of Islamic Banking Growth in Indonesia

Total assets of Islamic banks in Indonesia contributed to a mere 1.6% of the total assets of banking system in 2006 and increased marginally to 1.8% by 2007. Despite the trivial market share, Indonesia’s Central Bank has targeted that the Islamic banks should achieve a 5% market share by 2008. Accordingly, it is important to identify critical factors for the Islamic banking growth to expedite the industry’s growth. This study examines the determinants and causal relationships among the major determinants of the growth, namely mudharaba investment deposit, interest rate, rate of return, Islamic banks’ branches and income for March 2000 - August 2007 period. It employs time series econometric techniques including VAR model and its associated Impulse Response Function and Variance Decomposition Analysis. Results of this study contribute towards the implementation of more effective initiatives and banking policies to foster the Islamic banking growth in Indonesia.
Stem Cell Therapy in Myocardial Infarction: Latest Trends

Heart Diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality world wide. Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of congestive heart failure and death in the industrialized world. Current therapy is limited in preventing the progression of ventricular remodeling and congestive heart failure. Recent interest has focused on stem cells, which are undifferentiated and pleuropotent cells that can proliferate, potentially self-renew, and differentiate into cardiomyocytes. The article tries to underline the beneficial effects of the stem cell therapy for use in patients where other modes of therapy are not advisable and the multi purpose effects of such as therapy.
Effect of Ambient Temperature on the Performance of Shaver Brown Hens in Hot Humid Environment

The effect of temperature on the performance of Shaver brown hens in the hot humid environment was investigated using seventy-five Shaver brown hens in their 14th week of lay. Each hen was housed in individual battery cage and fed daily with 125 g of commercial layers mash containing 16.5% crude protein, 2650 kcal/kg metabolizable energy, 4% crude fat, 6.5% crude fibre, 3.6% calcium and 0.4% phosphorus for 10 weeks. Water was supplied ad libitum to the birds. Eggs were collected daily and recorded for each hen. Data were collected on average daily feed intake(ADFI), egg weight, eggshell weight, egg shell thickness, egg shape index, albumin height, yolk height, albumin index, yolk index, haugh unit and hen day egg production. Results showed that ADFI, hen day egg production, egg shape index, albumin height, yolk height, yolk index and Haugh units were significantly (P < 0.05) decreased with increase in ambient temperature. However, high ambient temperature did not have significant (P > 0.05) effect on egg weight, eggshell thickness and albumin index. Based on the results obtained in the study, it was concluded that ambient temperature had an effect on the performance of Shaver brown hens in the humid tropics.

A pilot study of the radio-emitting AGN population: the emerging new class of FR0 radio-galaxies

We present the results of a pilot JVLA project aimed at studying the bulk of the radio-emitting AGN population, unveiled by the NVSS/FIRST and SDSS surveys.We obtained A-array observations at the JVLA at 1.4, 4.5, and 7.5 GHz for 12 sources of the SDSS/NVSS sample. The radio maps reveal compact unresolved or slightly resolved radio structures on a scale of 1-3 kpc, with only one exception of a FRI/FRII source extended over $\sim$40 kpc. We isolate the radio core component in most of them. The sample splits into two groups. Four sources have small black hole (BH) masses (mostly $\sim$10$^{7}$ M$_{\odot}$) and are hosted by blue galaxies, often showing evidence of a contamination from star formation to their radio emission and associated with radio-quiet AGN. The second group consists in seven radio-loud AGN, which live in red massive ($\sim10^{11}$ M$_{\odot}$) early-type galaxies, with large BH masses ($\gtrsim$10$^{8}$ M$_{\odot}$), and spectroscopically classified as Low Excitation Galaxies, all characteristics typical of FRI radio galaxies. They also lie on the correlation between radio core power and [O III] line luminosity defined by FRIs. However, they are more core dominated (by a factor of $\sim$30) than FRIs and show a deficit of extended radio emission. We dub these sources 'FR0' to emphasize their lack of prominent extended radio emission, the single distinguishing feature with respect to FRIs. The differences in radio properties between FR0s and FRIs might be ascribed to an evolutionary effect, with the FR0 sources undergoing to rapid intermittency that prevents the growth of large scale structures. In our preferred scenario the lack of extended radio emission in FR0s is due to their smaller jet Lorentz $\Gamma$ factor with respect to FRIs, causing possible instabilities and their premature disruption.

The Relationship between Regional Economic Variables and Local Employment Growth

This study examines the long-run equilibrium relationship between regional economic variables and local employment growth using the panel data of 16 regions from 1995 to 2013 in Korea. This study uses the GRDP, wage, and public expenditure for the explanatory variables. This study estimates long-run equilibrium equation in terms of panel cointegration relationships between the variables which have the unit roots using the FMOLS(Fully Modified OLS) estimation. This study shows that GRDP and public expenditure have positive impacts on total industrial employment and service industrial employment. Moreover, if the variables deviate from equilibrium, then error correction term converges to the Long-Run equilibrium. This study also reveals that service industrial sector has higher impact than total industrial sector and that the wage variable has a negative effect on employment.
Three Problems Involving Permutations

We study three problems involving permutations: the n-card problem, inv-Wilf-equivalence, and suitable sets of permutations. The n-card problem is to determine the minimal intervals [u, v] such that for every n×n stochastic matrix A there is an n×n permutation matrix P (depending on A) such that tr(PA) ∈ [u, v]. The minimal intervals for the n-card problem are known only for n ≤ 4. We answer a question posed by Sands, by showing that [1, 2] is a solution to the n-card problem for all n ≥ 2. We also show that each closed interval of length n n−1 contained in [0, 2) is a solution to the n-card problem for all n ≥ 2. Wilf-equivalence is one of the central concepts of pattern-avoiding permutations. The two known infinite families of Wilf-equivalent permutation pairs both satisfy the stronger condition of shapeWilf-equivalence. Dokos et al. studied a different strengthening of Wilf-equivalence called invWilf-equivalence. They conjectured that all inv-Wilf-equivalent permutation pairs arise from trivial symmetries. We disprove this conjecture with an infinite family of counterexamples, obtained by generalizing simultaneously the concepts of shape-Wilf-equivalence and inv-Wilf-equivalence. We also prove the Baxter-Jaggard conjecture on even-shape-Wilf-equivalent permutation pairs. A set of N permutations of {1, 2, . , v} is (N, v, t)-suitable if each symbol precedes each subset of t− 1 others in at least one permutation. We give examples of suitable sets of permutations for new parameter triples (N, v, t). We relate certain suitable sets of permutations with parameter t to others with parameter t + 1, thereby showing that one of the two infinite families presented by Colbourn can be constructed directly from the other. We prove an exact nonexistence result for suitable sets of permutations using elementary combinatorial arguments. We then establish an asymptotic nonexistence result using Ramsey’s theorem.
Taxation of Income from Labour and Capital in Finland - Towards Greater or Lesser Equality?

The structure and reforms of the direct tax system over the last two decades is summarized, emphasizing the tax base broadening implemented with dual income taxation and contrasting it to the tax system of the 1980’s. Different categories of capital income are still taxed at rates that are far from uniform. On average labour income is less heavily taxed in Finland than income from capital. There is scope for flattening the progressive tax rate schedule on earned income to prevent high opportunity wage professionals to transform labour income into double-taxed realized capital gains.
Interdisciplinary Science and Research

To address the need for STEM reform in K-12 schools, this article describes the design and implementation of a rigorous, interdisciplinary science and research program (ISR) in two local high schools (HS-S and HS-H). The ISR, adapted from the successful School for Science and Math at Vanderbilt program, provides seven courses over four years that focus on the development of critical thinking skills and the ability to construct and perform hypothesis driven research projects. The courses are co-taught by a science teacher (masters or doctoral level) and a Ph.D. scientist. Overall, students in both programs showed higher science end-of-course test scores and ACT composite scores compared to their non-ISR peers, completed research internships at Vanderbilt, and presented their research at local and regional meetings. Currently 62 of the 77 ISR graduates are attending college, with 62% of the declared majors in STEM areas. As the programs have matured, challenges such as low student preparation (ISR-S) and competition with other school academic offerings (ISR-H) have been addressed, resulting in increased numbers of students participating in the program. The school district has demonstrated the value of the ISR program by providing funding for the scientists and expanding to a third school in 2016.
Spatial heterogeneity of macrofauna at northern California methane seeps: influence of sulfide concentration and fluid flow

Relationships among fluid flow, sulfide concentration, sulfur bacteria and macrofaunal assemblages were examined at methane seeps on the northern California margin, near the mouth of the Eel River (512 to 525 m). Over a 6 mo period, sediments covered with microbial mats exhibited significant but variable outflow of altered fluids, with no flow reversals. This fluid flow was associated with high porewater sulfide concentrations (up to 20 mM) and almost no oxygen penetration of sedi- ments ( 300 µm), but biomass and diversity (no. species per core, E(S100), H ') were lower and composition varied in the sulfidic microbial mat sediments relative to clam-bed and non-seep sediments. The community in microbial mat-covered sediments consisted largely (82%) of 6 species in the polychaete family Dorvilleidae, whereas the clam-bed and non-seep microhabitats supported a mixture of annelids, peracarid crustaceans, nemerteans, and mollusks. Vertical microprofiling of sulfide in animal cores indicated that most taxa avoid H2S concentrations >1 mM. However, sulfide-oxidizing filamentous bacteria, dorvilleid polychaetes and bivalves (mainly V. pacifica) exhibited highest densities at sul- fide concentrations of 1 to 5 mM sulfide. Horizontal and vertical patterns of sulfide availability have a strong influence on the fine-scale distribution, structure and composition of macrofaunal assem- blages inhabiting methane seeps and must be accounted for when characterizing the microbiology and ecology of seep habitats.
Inappropriateness of prostate cancer screening by PSA in young Algerian farmers

Introduction: It is not yet established, in Algeria, a consensus on the use of prostate specific antigen (PSA) for the screening of prostate cancer (PCA) while some doctors speculate and recommend a serum-PSA assay to the young men. The objective is to assess the prevalence of PSA by age in young farmers. Methods: This study was undergone on 403 farmers, exposed to the risk of pesticides, aged between 30 - 70 years and living in rural areas of Saida (Western Algeria), during the period 2006 to 2012. The values of the PSA were collected during PCA screening and compared by statistical tests that revealed significant difference. Results: It was found that 15.6% of patients were under the age of 40 years. The total PSA (TPSA) increases with age and varies from 1 to 2 ng/ml for the respective age groups of 30 - 39 and 60 - 69 years. Approximately, 16.6% of men (or 1/6), who underwent PSA assay were under the age of 40 years. Conclusion: According to the recommendations of Algerian associations of cancer, men younger than 50 years may not be candidates for screening by PSA.
Frequencies of Lithuanian Population Representative Sample ’ s cognition “ I Am Considering Seriously Suicide as a Possible Solution of My Problems

Suicides continue to be the most devastating consequence of Lithuanians’ inability to cope with life pressures, as various surveys indicate that for the last two decades Lithuania has been among the countries demonstrating the highest rates of suicides in the World. Lithuanians’ cognitions towards life as well as suicidal ideation, which are the primary markers for future suicidal behavior have not been explored thoroughly. This paper presents some results of the survey (representative sample, n=1002) which was conducted in Lithuania in February – April 2014. Based on the findings of various authors referring to the importance of suicidal ideation on a continuum of suicidal behavior, the research aimed at exploring the link between certain attitudes towards life and suicidal ideation. Furthermore, it aimed at analyzing socio-demographic variables related to suicidal ideation. Finally, it targeted the link between suicidal ideation and emotional states. The present study showed that people, who are seriously considering suicide as a possible solution of their problems, are not satisfied with life; they feel miserably and cannot think about this life as meaningful, worthy living, purposeful, pleasant, fulfilled. Suicidal risk related cognition “I am considering seriously suicide as a possible solution of my problems” was found to be statistically significantly related to strong negative emotional states during the last week, such as pique, anger, anxiety, psychological pain, guilt, sadness, fear, stress, hopelessness, helplessness, meaninglessness, shame. It was also statistically significantly negatively related to positive states such as gratefulness, happiness, trust, hopefulness, and positive life perceptions. This might imply that in order to diminish the rates of suicides in Lithuania, there is a need to implement evidence based psycho-educational programs and interventions (to cope with negative emotions and life pressures, to increase psychological wellbeing).
Dentition damage in parrotfishes feeding on hard surfaces at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, southwest Atlantic Ocean

Parrotfishes (Scaridae) are renowned for their beak-like dentition, which enables them to bite on coralline and rocky surfaces to feed on algae and detritus. These fishes dwell in a wide range of habitats, but most studies on parrotfish feeding behavior and ecology have been made on coral reef sites. We report on parrotfishes with damaged dentition at Fernando de Noronha, a vol- canic archipelago off the coast of northeast Brazil, in the tropical southwest Atlantic Ocean. We recorded tooth damage only in adult individuals (> 40 cm total length (TL)) of 3 common species (Sparisoma amplum, S. axillare and S. frondosum) in the study area. The frequency of tooth damage varied among the species: 0.85% in S. amplum, 2.34% in S. axillare and 0.76% in S. frondosum. Two types of tooth damage were recorded: broken teeth and the whole dental plate protruding from the mouth. Individuals with damaged dentition were recorded at 6 out of 10 study sites. The abundance of parrotfishes with tooth damage and their presence at several sites within the archipelago indicate that this is a common and predictable event in the area. The reefs of Fernando de Noronha Archipel- ago comprise mostly basaltic rocks, which are much harder than the calcium carbonate matrix that generally composes coral reefs where most studies on parrotfish behavior and ecology have been conducted. This may explain the absence of reports of parrotfishes with damaged teeth in the scien- tific literature to date.
Identification and Evaluation of Cases for Excess Heat Utilisation Using GIS

Excess heat is present in many sectors, and its utilization could reduce the primary energy use and emission of greenhouse gases. This work presents a geographical mapping of excess heat, in which excess heat from the industry and utility sector was distributed to specific geographical locations in Denmark. Based on this mapping, a systematic approach for identifying cases for the utilization of excess heat is proposed, considering the production of district heat and process heat, as well as power generation. The technical and economic feasibility of this approach was evaluated for six cases. Special focus was placed on the challenges for the connection of excess heat sources to heat users. To account for uncertainties in the model input, different methods were applied to determine the uncertainty of the results and the most important model parameters. The results show how the spatial mapping of excess heat sources can be used to identify their utilization potentials. The identified case studies show that it can be economically feasible to connect the heat sources to the public energy network or to use the heat to generate electricity. The uncertainty analysis suggests that the results are indicative and are particularly useful for a fast evaluation, comparison and prioritization of possible matches. The excess heat temperature and obtainable energy price were identified as the most important input parameters.
