Paleoceanographic evolution recorded in the northern South China Sea since 4 Ma

Upper water structure over the last 4 million years in the northern South China Sea (SCS) was reconstructed by sea surface temperature (SST) and primary productivity estimated by changes in the abundance of planktonic foraminifer, planktonic foraminifer transfer function, and the accumulation rate of benthic foraminifera. Results of SST and primary productivity show that SST gradually decreased since 4 Ma, but differential seasonal temperature and primary productivity increased in steps mainly at about 3.1, 2.7, 2.1, 1.6, 0.9 and 0.5 Ma. Comparison with tectonics and orbital variations indicates that phased rising of the Tibet since 3.6 Ma, closing of Panama and Indonesian seaways, and orbital changes were responsible for the changes of upper water structure in the SCS, respectively.

SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF THE EPIPEDON CHEMICAL PROPERTIES IN AN HYDROMORPHIC ANDISOL FROM THE ANTIOQUIA EAST ( COLOMBIA )

The spatial variability of some chemical properties of the epipedon in an Andisol with aquic humidity regime was studied. The most properties presented a high spatial dependence (C/Sill>50%) and a relatively short range average (20 m), possibly caused by the intensive use of soil that has involved the application of fertilizers and amendments.
Effective Team Teaching Using the Presentation, Practice, Production Method

The Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET Program) is a key feature in English language education in Japan. With almost 4000 Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) participating on the JET Program as well as many non-JET ALTs, most Japanese teachers of English (JTs) are involved in Team Teaching (TT) with ALTs on a regular basis in primary and secondary schools. The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Technology (MEXT), however, provides very li t t le direction with regards to TT. This paper suggests a formulaic yet flexible way in which team teaching can be conducted within the framework of the Presentation, Pract ice, and Production (PPP) method. It is based on the l i terature as well as personal experience using the PPP method in a private English school setting and teaching English on the JET Program as an ALT. Despite the high profile of the JET Program, MEXT has in large part , refrained from prescribing a specific model for TT. Some teachers might find this lack of direction to be inadequate. However, given the wide variety of factors which influence TT in practice, including the differing teaching styles and personality of teachers, i t is not appropriate to prescribe one specific model of TT for all si tuations. (Smith, 1994; Hogan, 2004; Marchesseau & Kaneshige, 2005). Gillis-Furutaka (1994) suggests that any success that the JET Program has seen has come about from the hard work of JTs and ALTs working in schools. Perhaps the apparent l imited involvement of MEXT has not been a detriment to the success of the JET Program, but a pre-curser to i t . The purpose of this article is not to impose a singular model for TT on all teachers or to espouse the PPP method unilaterally, but to share a loose framework for TT which teachers might draw upon, depending on their individual circumstances or the purpose of a specific lesson.
Efeitos das ifrs no conservadorismo contábil: Um estudo em companhias abertas dos países membros do glenif

It is understandable that because the relevance of financial reporting and its importance to the adoption of IFRS in business there is concern about the factors that cause interference in its quality as well as with the criteria used in their training, consistency and evaluation. Among the factors that exert influence on the quality of accounting information is conservatism, defined by Basu (1997) as an asymmetric recognition of losses relative to gains, reflected the bad news faster than the good news. Considering this context, this study aims to assess the magnitude of the influence of IFRS on accounting conservatism levels of the practices adopted in GLENIF member countries, more specifically, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru in the 2003 period 2013. With a sample of 513 companies and 5643 observations, applied through panel data the original equation Basu (1997) and later was included a dummy variable considering the effects of the adoption of IFRS in conservatism. The results indicated that, even with the adoption of IFRS was noted in Brazil and Mexico the presence of conservadoristas practices. In Argentina it was found opposite situation, IFRS eased conservatism in the country's companies. In Chile, Colombia and Peru non-significant results were insufficient to indicate the presence of conservatism after the adoption of IFRS. Keywords: Accounting Conservatism. IFRS. Model Basu (1997).
The INIFAP collection of runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus L.) I: Geographical distribution of collection sites

The runner bean (Phaseolus coccinus L.) is native to the highlands of Mesoamerica, where it has been cultivated since pre-Columbian times, recent studies show that was domesticated 2 200 years ago in the Valley of Tehuacan, Puebla, Mexico. It is grown annually, but in the wild perennial grows in humid regions at altitudes of more than 1 800 meters above the sea. After the common bean, runner bean is the second most important species for food of Mexicans, and the National Institute for Forestry, Agriculture and Livestock protects 798 accessions of native Mexican varieties under ex situ conservation. As the genetic and phenotypic variability of plants is influenced by ecological factors, is necessary to know the geographical distribution and edaphoclimatic characteristics of the germplasm collection sites of Phaseolus coccineus L. To do this, in 2009 in the laboratory of Geographic Information Systems of INIFAP were mapped the geographical distribution of collection sites of the 798 accessions of Mexican landraces of the cultivated form, with its edaphoclimatic characteristics. For this purpose we used the geographical coordinates of collection sites, maps of physiographic regions of the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics (INEGI) and the information
In Vitro Activity of Antimicrobial Combination against Multidrug-resistant Strains of Acinetobacter baumannii

Background : Acinetobacter baumannii has been reported as a major cause of nosocomial infections with increasing frequency. Recently, the emergence of carbapenem-resistant strains has become a major problem in treatment. The use of nontraditional agents such as colistin and a combination therapy have been tried. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity of antimicrobial combinations against multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. baumannii. Methods : Twenty-nine strains of MDR A. baumannii, either resistant or intermediate to imipenem, were collected from February 2003 to February 2004. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by the agar dilution method. The checkerboard method was used to assess the activity of ampicillin-sulbactam in combination with amikacin, tobramycin or meropenem and colistin in combination with ceftazidime, meropenem, or rifampin. Results : The of ceftazidime and cefepime were 2,048 g/mL and 512 g/mL, respectively, while the of colistin was 0.5 g/mL. The antimicrobial combinations that showed an additive effect for one or two strains were colistin with rifampin or ceftazidime and ampicillin-sulbactam with tobramycin or meropenem. Other antimicrobial combinations showed indifferent effects against most strains. There were no synergistic or antagonistic combinations. Conclusion : These data suggested that colistin may be an alternative drug for MDR A. baumannii. For the effective treatment of patients infected with these resistant strains, further studies are needed to evaluate antimicrobial combinations against a large number of heterogeneous isolates, and these studies must be followed by clinical trials.
Current Status and Clinical Characteristics of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Korea

The incidence and prevalence rates of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Korea are still low compared with those of the Western countries, but have been increasing rapidly during the past decades. The data from Japan and Korea suggest that westernization in lifestyles including dietary habits as well as environmental changes caused by industrialization and urbanization are probably responsible for the change in the incidence. Also, the results of the genetic studies from Japan and Korea suggest that there may be some differences in candidate genes which predispose to IBD between Asian and Western countries. The prognosis of IBD in Korea seems to be better than that in the Western countries. It is not certain, however, whetherthis difference means intrinsic difference of IBD between Korea and Western countries, or reflects thepresence of some other factors such as temporal bias. Although further studies are needed, current data suggest that the prognosis of IBD in Korea is at least as good as that in Western countries.
Analysis of Peripheral Blood CD_4~+CD_(25)~+ T Cells from the Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Objective: To investigate the percentage of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+ T cells of the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods: Three-color flow cytometric analysis was employed to measure the subpopulations of peripheral blood T cells from active and nonactive SLE patients and normal persons. Results: The percentage of peripheral CD4+ T cells of the patients with SLE in active phase and in nonactive phase were lower than normal; the percentage of CD4+CD25+ T of the patients with active SLE was higher than that of normal and that of nonactive patients; the percentage of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+CD45RO+ T cells was higher in active SLE patients than that of nonactive patients and normal control. As for the average intensities of Fluorescence , there were no significant differences in CD25 and CD45RO antigen expressions between normal control and SLE patients. Conclusion: An abnormal increase of CD4+CD25+ T cells or CD4+CD25+CD45RO+ T cells exists in active SLE patients, and is probably closely related to the pathogenitic activity.

Shallow hydrothermal regime of the East Brawley and Glamis known geothermal resource areas, Salton Trough, California

Thermal gradients and thermal conductivities were obtained in real time using an in situ heat-flow technique in 15 shallow (90 to 150 m) wells drilled between Brawley and Glamis in the Imperial Valley, Southern California. The in situ measurements were supplemented by follow-up conventional temperature logs in seven of the wells and by laboratory measurements of thermal conductivity on drill cuttings. The deltaic sedimentary material comprising the upper approx. 100 m of the Salton Trough generally is poorly sorted and high in quartz resulting in quite high thermal conductivities (averaging 2.0 Wm/sup -1/ K/sup -1/ as opposed to 1.2 to 1.7 for typical alluvium). A broad heat-flow anomaly with maximum of about 200 mWm/sup -2/ (approx. 5 HFU) is centered between Glamis and East Brawley and is superimposed on a regional heat-flow high in excess of 100 mWm/sup -2/ (> 2.5 HFU). The heat-flow high corresponds with a gravity maximum and partially with a minimum in electrical resistivity, suggesting the presence of a hydrothermal system at depth in this area.
Additional studies of forest classification accuracy as influenced by multispectral scanner spatial resolution

First, an analysis of forest feature signatures was used to help explain the large variation in classification accuracy that can occur among individual forest features for any one case of spatial resolution and the inconsistent changes in classification accuracy that were demonstrated among features as spatial resolution was degraded. Second, the classification rejection threshold was varied in an effort to reduce the large proportion of unclassified resolution elements that previously appeared in the processing of coarse resolution data when a constant rejection threshold was used for all cases of spatial resolution. For the signature analysis, two-channel ellipse plots showing the feature signature distributions for several cases of spatial resolution indicated that the capability of signatures to correctly identify their respective features is dependent on the amount of statistical overlap among signatures. Reductions in signature variance that occur in data of degraded spatial resolution may not necessarily decrease the amount of statistical overlap among signatures having large variance and small mean separations. Features classified by such signatures may thus continue to have similar amounts of misclassified elements in coarser resolution data, and thus, not necessarily improve in classification accuracy.

Políticas de financiamento da educação em museus: a constituição das ações educacionais em museus de artes plásticas, ciências humanas e ciência e tecnologia / Financial policies of education in museums: the development of educational actions in art, huma

The goal of this work is to understand the dynamics of the public policy in museum education and their impacts in the determination of educational activities of these institutions. For this, the option was used the theoretical referential developed by the sociologist of education, Basil Bernstein, in particular the concept of official re- contextualizing field. It is considered an essential step for the insertion of museum education in the educational field. To conduct the study we chose the qualitative methodological background by comparing three types of museums - a fine arts museum, a human sciences museum and a science and technology museum. From the analysis of data collected we concluded the existence of an official re- contextualizing field, where the State agents creates policies that museums take part by adhesion. More than the official agencies of State, however, the funding agencies are the main "voices" in this official re-contextualizing field, as we try to demonstrate throughout the article.
A Survey on Privacy in Location-Based Services

Location services have become popular over the last years due to the global adoption of smartphones and the worldwide availability of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other positioning methods. Location-based services (LBSs) offer relevant information to users based on their location. Some common applications of LBSs are traffic or public transportation information, search of points of interest (restaurants, stores, etc.), navigation, among others. Despite all the desirable features that these services provide, most of them do not provide adequate protection of the geographical location of the users, putting them at risk if their information falls in wrong hands. This paper presents a compendium of techniques to protect the location privacy of the users, and introduces an approach to compare and evaluate the presented mechanisms and their viability to be used in different kinds of LBSs.
Dating and Stable Isotope Analysis of Charred Residues on the Incipient Jomon Pottery (Japan)

This study reports radiocarbon dates of more than 30 samples of charred residues on pottery sherds of the Incipient Jomon period. The ages of Linear-relief (Ryukisenmon) pottery were 15,300–13,700 cal BP, with great differences among the samples. The pitted decoration (Enkomon), Nail-impressed (Tsumegatamon), and pressing and dragging (Oshibikimon) types date to 13,800–12,400 cal BP. For pottery of the same type, differences among sites were large. At the Unokiminami site, the impressed cord mark (Oatsu Jomon) is the main pottery type, including Nail-impressed. The latter shows a slightly older age. Stable isotope and elemental analyses were used to ascertain the origin of charred residues on the pottery. In the data set of Jomon pottery of the oldest type, residues consisting only of cooked nuts were found. However, Jomon people, even from early times, are thought to have cooked mixed plant and animal ingredients, including marine products.
Primary, return and onward migration in the U.S. and Canada: is there a difference?

Using microdata sources available from the U.S. Census Bureau and Statistics Canada this paper contrasts primary return and onward migration in the two countries. These classifications are based on information on the region (state or province) of birth and region of residence at the start and end of the census period. To study the propensities to make a primary return or onward migration rates are calculated.and compared with previous census periods. Analysis reveals that both countries have experienced similar temporal patterns and that primary return and onward migration patterns tend to be similar. Analysis using a nested logit model further reveals that return and onward migration in both countries can be similarly explained. Data are from the Public Use Micro Sample (PUMS) for the United States and the Public Use Micro File (PUMF) for Canada. (EXCERPT)
Evolución del conservadurismo de balance con la implantación de las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera: aplicación al caso de España

espanolEl presente estudio tiene por objeto analizar la evolucion del conservadurismo contable en Espana tras la implantacion en 2005 de las Normas Internacionales de Informacion Financiera. Es de esperar, a la vista de los estudios previos, que el cambio hacia una normativa de corte mas anglosajon a la que teniamos previamente, haya producido un descenso del conservadurismo de balance. Mediante una muestra de empresas espanolas y del Reino Unido durante el periodo 2000-2009, encontramos evidencia de que la entrada en vigor de las normas internacionales de contabilidad ha provocado una reduccion del conservadurismo de balance en el mercado espanol. En cuanto a la brecha de conservadurismo existente entre Espana y el Reino Unido, nuestro analisis sugiere que las diferencias de conservadurismo se han reducido de manera signifi cativa. No obstante, nuestro trabajo pone de manifi esto las limitaciones existentes a la hora de medir el conservadurismo abriendo la puerta a futuras investigaciones sobre el tema. EnglishThis study aims to analyze the effect on accounting conservatism of IFRS adoption in Spain. Following evidence found in previous studies we expect a decline in balance-sheet accounting conservatism due to this change towards a more Anglo-Saxon accounting system. Using a sample of Spanish and UK fi rms during the period 2000-2009, we fi nd evidence that the adoption of IFRS has led to a decrease of the balance-sheet conservatism in the Spanish market. Regarding the conservatism gap between these two countries, our analysis suggests that the conservatism difference between Spain and the UK has been reduced signifi cantly after the IFRS adoption. Nevertheless, we show the limitations that exist in order to measure balance-sheet conservatism opening the door to new future research.
Macroinvertebrate assemblages in Gorgona Island streams: spatial patterns during two contrasting hydrologic periods

Studies comparing various streams are scarce in tropical insular systems and inexistent in Colombia. In order to understand the spatial patterns of macroinvertebrates in tropical insular streams, and the environmental drivers of such patterns, we tested for patterns among streams but using a nested sampling design from streams to microhabitats in Gorgona Island (Colombia, Tropical Eastern Pacific) during two seasons (low and high precipitation). We found that benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages showed clear differences among streams despite of the variability within nested levels. Hydrologic disturbance tended to homogenize spatial patterns in most of the streams. Although ordinations of sampling units using either macroinvertebrate composition or environmental variables were not fully consistent, it was evident that water physicochemistry influenced by underlying geology was a pervasive driver of macroinvertebrate distribution. We highlight the importance of incorporating multiscale sampling designs for studying distributions of macroinvertebrates in tropical islands, and for biomonitoring.
