Modelling Stock Market Crashes: The Case of Bucharest Stock Exchange

Abstract In this paper we investigate the bubble behaviour of Bucharest Stock Exchange, using log periodic power laws models. Analysing the behaviour of the most speculative index from Bucharest Stock Exchange, BET-FI, we prove that LPPL models are a useful tool in recognizing the behaviour of a stock market bubble and they have predictive abilities for the critical point of a bubble. Iterative calibration of the model for BET-FI regime led to a reasonable estimate of the stock market crash in January 2008. Using the same methodology, the anti-bubble regime from 2008 is fitted and we find an accurate prediction of the local point of phase transition from 27/10/2008.

DETECTION OF TIME-DOMAIN SEQUENCES SENT ON A SHARED CONTROL CHANNEL

Techniques for sending and receiving signaling messages in a control segment are described. The control segment may be sent with CDM in multiple OFDM symbols. At a receiver, a received sequence is obtained for the control segment. A time-domain signaling sequence is generated based on a signaling message hypothesized to have been sent in the control segment. A correlating sequence is generated based on the signaling sequence. In one design, the signaling sequence is partitioned into multiple sub-sequences, one sub-sequence for each symbol period in which the control segment was sent. Each sub-sequence is cyclically shifted by an amount determined by a channel tap delay. The correlating sequence is then formed by concatenating all of the cyclically shifted sub-sequences. The correlating sequence may also be generated in other manners. The received sequence is correlated with the correlating sequence to determine whether the signaling message was sent in the control segment.
Perceptions of Parental Control in China: Effects of Cultural Values, Cultural Normativeness, and Perceived Parental Acceptance

The purpose of this study was to examine Chinese young adults’ judgments, of parental control across a range of domains (e.g., clothing and friendship), whether judgments would be influenced by experimentally manipulated information regarding cultural values and cultural normativeness, and whether perceptions of parental acceptance/rejection influenced parental control judgments. Participants viewed parental control of training school and clothing more positively than parental control of friendship or use of physical discipline. Contrary to expectations, participants did not view parental control more positively when primed with information about cultural values. Surprisingly, participants’ views of parental control were more negative when primed with information about the high cultural normativeness of parental control as compared with neutral or low normativeness conditions. Regardless of type of control, participants viewed parental control more positively when control was perceived as based on love and acceptance rather than a desire to control the child.
Current pre-hospital traumatic brain injury management in China

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with most trauma-related deaths. Secondary brain injury is the leading cause of in-hospital deaths after traumatic brain injury. By early prevention and slowing of the initial pathophysiological mechanism of secondary brain injury, pre-hospital service can significantly reduce case-fatality rates of TBI. In China, the incidence of TBI is increasing and the proportion of severe TBI is much higher than that in other countries. The objective of this paper is to review the pre-hospital management of TBI in China.A literature search was conducted in January 2014 using the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Articles on the assessment and treatment of TBI in pre-hospital settings practiced by Chinese doctors were identified. The information on the assessment and treatment of hypoxemia, hypotension, and brain herniation was extracted from the identified articles.Of the 471 articles identified, 65 met the selection criteria. The existing literature indicated that current practices of pre-hospital TBI management in China were sub-optimal and varied considerably across different regions.Since pre-hospital care is the weakest part of Chinese emergency care, appropriate training programs on pre-hospital TBI management are urgently needed in China.
A four-hour yeast bioassay for the direct measure of estrogenic activity in wastewater without sample extraction, concentration, or sterilization

The assay described here represents an improved yeast bioassay that provides a rapid yet sensitive screening method for EDCs with very little hands-on time and without the need for sample preparation. Traditional receptor-mediated reporter assays in yeast were performed twelve to twenty four hours after ligand addition, used colorimetric substrates, and, in many cases, required high, non-physiological concentrations of ligand. With the advent of new chemiluminescent substrates a ligand-induced signal can be detected within thirty minutes using high picomolar to low nanomolar concentrations of estrogen. As a result of the sensitivity (EC(50) for estradiol is approximately 0.7nM) and the very short assay time (2-4h) environmental water samples can typically be assayed directly without sterilization, extraction, and concentration. Thus, these assays represent rapid and sensitive approaches for determining the presence of contaminants in environmental samples. As proof of principle, we directly assayed wastewater influent and effluent taken from a wastewater treatment plant in the El Paso, TX area for the presence of estrogenic activity. The data obtained in the four-hour yeast bioassay directly correlated with GC-mass spectrometry analysis of these same water samples.
High performance mof and iposs enhanced membrane systems as next generation co2 capture technologies

Atmospheric warming due to greenhouse gases has become a serious global concern. The shifting from fossil fuel to renewable energy has been slow mostly due to technological barriers. Meanwhile, the demand for energy is growing rapidly which makes fossil fuel consumptions inevitable, in spite of their high emission of GHC. Therefore, there is need for an immediate-medium term solutions to address CO2 emission of fossil fuel plants fast and in a cost effective way. CO2 capture technologies recognized one of the direct answers to this problem. 
Currently, CO2 capture technologies have been adopted in different parts of the world but still there is a long way to reach their full potential. Some of the most important barriers are large energy requirements and high cost. Advanced material solutions can play a significant role in price reduction and increase of efficiency and enable industries to use fossil fuel while reduce emission of GHC drastically.
GENESIS project aims to develop and upscale some of the most promising material for CO2 capture and demonstrate their performance, durability and reliability in industrial environments. GENESIS is build upon two previous ambitious EU projects that developed IPOSS and MOF membrane systems with a great performance for CC. GENESIS will take these technologies a step further by scaling up the most promising ones by demonstrating in relevant 0.45 MWe capture process for pre-combustion and 2 post-combustion applications and achieve at least 90% of CO2 recovery at a cost of 15€/MWh in two carbon intensive industries (Cemex & Arcelormittal).  
GENESIS is building upon a multidisciplinary team of European technology centers, large enterprises, SMEs in a cross-border project. This will guarantee that the successful implementation of GENESIS and ensure the ambitious objectives will be achieved and impact will be realized in terms of a rapid market penetration of the developed materials and systems by overcoming technological barriers.

In order to protect the space, in the space a frame (210) is provided that is anchored to the building, comprising beams (230) and at least three uprights (220), wherein two uprights and two beams connecting said two uprights form a framework comprising four framework sections, and at least one layer of ballistic cloth (301) is clamped against the framework sections of a pair of two opposite framework sections for forming a divider wall (101).
Analytical study of Torque vs. speed characteristics of PM brushless DC drives

PM brushless DC (BLDC) motors should be fed by square-wave currents synchronized with the back emfs to develop a constant torque with the required value. In practice, phase inductances and limited source voltage produce non ideal square-wave currents and unbalanced phase currents during commutations. Such phenomena affect the torque developed by the PM BLDC drives by deviating its value from the requested one and by giving rise to torque ripple. In this paper, an analytical study of the torque characteristics, namely motor torque and torque ripple, of PM BLDC drives is carried out as a function of the motor speed and is supported by experimental data. Torque characteristics are expressed in terms of a quantity distinctive of the motor, thus giving a generalized formulation to the results.
Household Flood Evacuation Route Choice Models at Sub-district Level

Flood evacuation route choice modeling studies gained its momentum in recent years. However, understanding how various explanatory variables determine flood route choice behavior of evacuees has not been fully investigated. The goal of this study is to understand flood evacuation route choice behavior of households at Bahay Toro and Sto. Domingo sub-districts in Quezon City, Philippines. Binary logit and probit models were estimated with variables selected through backward elimination stepwise method. Results include the presence of elderly person, departure timing, and mode used in evacuating as explanatory variables of households' route choice at Bahay Toro Sub-district. On the other hand, the number of family members, level of education and type of work of the household head, house ownership and the mode are variables that determine route choice of households at Sto. Domingo. Modeling evacuation route choice behavior representing the entire city can be further explored in future research.
Promoting Accessible and Sustainable Tourism for Future

The Project tackles the main common challenges of the programme internal and rural areas: creating new tourist destinations through  promotion of natural and cultural heritage; supporting diversification, customization, integration and specialization of local tourist services by focusing on accessibility and sustainability; improving common knowledge of new trends in the tourism market and the marketing capacity of SME and local communities to promote a tourism based on the experience of “new communities”; providing smart systems capable of promoting the best international tourist marketing . Therefore the project&#39;s objective is to promote and strengthen the Accessible and Sustainable tourism offer of the cross border area at a European and international level, through the implementation and diversification of the tourist products/services in the target areas. It will implement  a new Cross border Accessible and Sustainable Community Tourist Destination, able to increase the tourists incoming (in particular people with special needs) and consequentially the promotion of the natural, environmental, historical and cultural heritage, boosting a smart and sustainable economic development in the whole Cross border area. This will lead to turn Accessible and Sustainable tourism into the development flywheel of the cross border internal/rural areas. The main outputs of the Project are the 1) Cross border Network for A&S Tourism, 2) the Cross border Destination Management Organization for A&S Tourism, 3) Web platform and APP, 4) Valorized sites for tourits and especially for people with special needs. The local rural communities (public authorities, SME, NGO, citizens) will benefit from them. The project’s approach is based on Community-Led Local Development, focused on specific sub-regional areas&#39; needs and assets, aiming to create local hospitality systems by opening rural communities towards new tourist inflows in a cross border framework.
Conservation Value of Sites of Hybridization in Peripheral Populations of Rare Plant Species

Populations at the periphery of a species' range are of interest to conservation biologists because they can show marked genetic differentiation from populations at the center of a range and because of potential hybridization among rare and common species. We examined two closely related Cyclamen species. One is a narrow endemic, and the other is more geographically widespread (both protected by law in continental southern France). We used floral traits and genetic variability to test for hybridization among the species in peripheral populations of the rare species. The species co-occurred on Corsica in a disjunct, peripheral part of the distribution of the endemic species and in an ecologically marginal area for the widespread species. The two species have hybridized and the endemic species showed high levels of introgression with its widespread congener. Genetic and floral variability in sites with both species was markedly higher than in sites with a single species. Our results highlight the need for a conservation strategy that integrates hybrid populations because they represent a source of novel diversity that may have adaptive potential.
Elektrochemischer Kondensator, der Rutheniumoxid-Elektroden enthält

Ein Kondensator, der eine elektrochemische Zelle enthält, die Rutheniumoxidelektroden und einen wässrigen Elektrolyten, der eine polyprotische Säure (z.B. Schwefelsäure) enthält, umfasst, wird bereitgestellt. Insbesondere enthalten die Elektroden jeweils ein Substrat, das mit einem Metalloxidfilm beschichtet ist, der aus einer Kombination von Rutheniumoxid und anorganischen Oxidteilchen (z.B. Aluminiumoxid, Siliciumdioxid usw.) gebildet ist. Ohne uns auf eine bestimmte Theorie festlegen zu wollen, glauben wir, dass die anorganischen Oxidteilchen die Protonenübertragung (z.B. Protonenerzeugung) in dem wässrigen Elektrolyten verstärken können, wobei hydratisierte anorganische Oxidkomplexe (z.B. [Al(HO)]bis [Al(HO)(OH)]) entstehen. Das anorganische Oxid wirkt also als Katalysator, um Wasser sowohl zu absorbieren als auch reversibel in Protonen und molekular gebundene Hydroxidbrücken zu spalten. Da die Anionen (z.B. Sulfat- und Hydrogensulfat-Ionen) in dem Elektrolyten nicht in der Koordinationssphäre der gebildeten Aquakomplexe gebunden sind, behindern sie nicht die Kondensation dieser Komplexe, die erforderlich ist, um die zusätzliche Kapazität über den potentiellen Bereich zu erreichen. Infolgedessen werden die Ionenladungen getrennt gehalten, und der chemische Vorgang kann Pseudokapazität erzeugen. Dies kann wiederum zu einer Erhöhung der Ladungsdichte und Kapazität der Elektrode führen.

Impacts of nanoparticles on microphytobenthic biofilms and consequences on the carbon cycle

Intertidal and shallow subtidal zones are key areas for biochemical transformations, and particularly they play a crucial zone in the carbon cycle. In soft-bottom areas, most primary production is performed by photosynthetic microorganisms organised in biofilms, and called microphytobenthos. The organic matter they produce is rapidly respired by bacteria or consumed by higher trophic levels. Together, microphytobenthos and bacteria realise most carbon transformation in these areas, and are therefore important groups to study in a view to understand carbon cycling in coastal zones. Coastal areas are currently under influence of numerous stressors linked to anthropogenic effects. The impacts of ‘well established’ pollutants, e.g. metals, oils, nitrogen, are fairly well understood; however there is now evidence that new compounds, products of advanced technology, have the potential to disrupt the environment. The aim of this project is to understand how a recently developed family of compounds, namely nanoparticles (NPs), influences the development of biofilms and their impact on the carbon cycle. NP concentrations are increasing dramatically in the environment, but their effect on organisms and ecosystems is currently poorly described. Yet, genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of NPs have been demonstrated, including on microorganisms. In this project, laboratory and field experiments will be performed to characterise the effects of NPs on microphytobenthos and bacteria, on their trophic interactions and on their roles in carbon and nutrient cycles. Two common types of NPs will be tested in a wide range of environmental conditions, to decipher in which conditions NPs are more or less harmful to organisms and processes. Such understanding will allow developing strategies to reduce the impacts of NPs and will be beneficial to environment and human well-being in EU and elsewhere.
ANTI-SKINNING COMPOSITION FOR OIL-BASED COATING MATERIAL

The invention provides anti-skinning compositions for use in manufacturing oil-based coating materials. The novel anti-skinning compositions are clear, homogeneous solutions of cyclohexanone oxime that can be prepared by dissolving cyclohexanone oxime in a suitable carboxylic acid or mixture of carboxylic acids. Suitable carboxylic acids include fatty acids, such as fatty acids of tall oil distillate. Surprisingly, the fatty acids are useful as delivery solvents over a useful range of temperatures and have desirable flash points. They are compatible with many oil-based coating materials. The anti-skinning compositions and manufacturing methods of the present invention are especially useful in the manufacture of oil-based paints containing metal carboxylate driers.

Interstitial Foxp3-positive T cells may predict renal survival in patients with myeroperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis

1. Regulatory T cells (T(reg)) and cytotoxic T cells (CTL) are involved in various immune diseases. However, the prognostic impact of T(reg) and CTL in patients with myeroperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis (MPO-ANCA-GN) is not well known. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the relationship between expression of forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) and T cell intracytoplasmic antigen (TIA)-1, T(reg) and CTL markers and renal survival in patients with MPO-ANCA-GN. 2. Forty patients with MPO-ANCA-GN and 10 patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) underwent physical examination, determination of blood chemistry and renal biopsy. Immunohistochemical staining for Foxp3 and TIA-1 was performed on paraffin-embedded renal sections. 3. Although almost all patients received standard immunosuppressive treatment for 6 months, seven MPO-ANCA-GN patients needed maintenance haemodialysis (HD), whereas 33 patients did not (non-HD). Both Foxp3- and TIA-1-positive cells were detected in the interstitium and glomeruli of MPO-ANCA-GN patients, whereas they were rarely detected in patients with MCNS. The total crescent rate was significantly higher in the HD group than in the non-HD group (35.9 +/- 3.5 vs 65.8 +/- 7.4, respectively). In the interstitium, the age-adjusted Foxp3/TIA-1 ratio was significantly higher in the non-HD group than in the HD group (0.016 +/- 0.016 vs 0.004 +/- 0.008, respectively; P < 0.05). The Foxp3/TIA-1 ratio, but not the Foxp3/CD3 ratio, remained significantly higher in the non-HD group than in the HD group even after adjustment for crescent rate. Age- and total crescent rate-adjusted renal survival rates were higher in patients with a Foxp3/TIA-1 ratio > or = 0.06 than in patients with a Foxp3/TIA-1 ratio < 0.06 (P = 0.02). 4. The results of the present study suggest that T(reg) could play a protective role against MPO-ANCA-GN and that a decreased Foxp3/TIA-1 ratio in interstitial areas may predict future renal failure in patients with MPO-ANCA-GN.
