On the Brezis-Nirenberg Problem with a Kirchhoff Type Perturbation
Authors: Naimen Daisuke
Published: March 2016

In this paper, we investigate a Kirchhoff type elliptic problem,

where Ω ⊂ ℝ3 is an open ball, λ ∈ ℝ and b ≥ 0. We give an extension of the result by Brezis-Nirenberg in 1983 to the case b > 0. In particular, we can observe several effects of the nonlocal coefficient on the well known results related to the existence, nonexistence and uniqueness.
The Mean Curvature Equation with Oscillating Nonlinearity
Authors: Araujo Anderson L. A. de , Montenegro Marcelo
Published: March 2016

We find a solution of the Dirichlet problem for the prescribed mean curvature equation in Ω with u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ℝN, N ≥ 1 and f : Ω × [0,∞) → ℝ is an unbounded continuous function with oscillatory behavior near the origin.
Convergence of Extremals of Variational Problems on Large Intervals
Authors: Zaslavski Alexander J.
Published: March 2016

We study the structure of approximate solutions of autonomous variational problems on large finite intervals. In our previous research we showed that approximate solutions are determined mainly by the integrand, and are essentially independent of the choice of time interval and data, except in regions close to the endpoints of the time interval. In the present paper we study the convergence of approximate solutions to solutions of the corresponding infinite horizon problems, in regions close to the endpoints of the time intervals.
Elliptic Systems of Schrödinger Type in the Spirit of Benci-Fortunato
Authors: Boccardo Lucio
Published: March 2016

We study the existence of solutions of elliptic systems of the type

and we examine how the structure of the system gives rise to a regularizing effect on the summability of the solutions; following the theory of elliptic (single) equations, the regularizing effect is unexpected.

Authors: Figueiredo Giovany , Santos Júnior João R. , Suárez Antonio
Published: March 2016

In this work we show some multiplicity results for the anisotropic equation

where Ω ⊂ℝN is a bounded smooth domain, 1 < p1 ≤ p2 ≤ . . . ≤ pN and λ is a positive parameter. Using genus theory, we study the subcritical case gλ(u) = λ|u|q−2u with q ∈ (1, pN) and the critical case gλ(u) = λ|u|q−2u +|u|p*−2u with q ∈ (1, p1) and p* = N| p̅/(N−p̅), with p̅ the harmonic mean of the pi’s.
Extremal, Nodal and Stable Solutions for Nonlinear Elliptic Equations
Authors: Gasiński Leszek , Papageorgiou Nikolaos S.
Published: March 2016

We consider Dirichlet p-Laplacian equations which may be resonant with respect to the principal eigenvalue at ±∞. We show the existence of extremal nontrivial constant sign solutions and of nodal solutions. In the semilinear case (p = 2) we produce additional nodal solutions. We show that certain parametric equations (eigenvalue problems) studied in the past, are a special case of our multiplicity theorem. Finally, we establish the stability of the extremal solutions.
Modeling the Hot Tensile Flow Behaviors at Ultra-High-Strength Steel and Construction of Three-Dimensional Continuous Interaction Space for Forming Parameters
Authors: Quan Guo-zheng , Zhan Zong-yang , Wang Tong , Xia Yu-feng
Published: March 2016

The response of true stress to strain rate, temperature and strain is a complex three-dimensional (3D) issue, and the accurate description of such constitutive relationships significantly contributes to the optimum process design. To obtain the true stress–strain data of ultra-high-strength steel, BR1500HS, a series of isothermal hot tensile tests were conducted in a wide temperature range of 973–1,123 K and a strain rate range of 0.01–10 s−1 on a Gleeble 3800 testing machine. Then the constitutive relationships were modeled by an optimally constructed and well-trained backpropagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN). The evaluation of BP-ANN model revealed that it has admirable performance in characterizing and predicting the flow behaviors of BR1500HS. A comparison on improved Arrhenius-type constitutive equation and BP-ANN model shows that the latter has higher accuracy. Consequently, the developed BP-ANN model was used to predict abundant stress–strain data beyond the limited experimental conditions. Then a 3D continuous interaction space for temperature, strain rate, strain and stress was constructed based on these predicted data. The developed 3D continuous interaction space for hot working parameters contributes to fully revealing the intrinsic relationships of BR1500HS steel.
Implications for visually stimulating advertisements on NYC subway platforms

Published: March 2016

Despite the fact that the New York City (NYC) Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) no longer advertises tobacco products, there is no ban on ads for alcohol. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the frequency of alcohol-related advertising content on the platforms of two populated subway lines in NYC. Advertisements were evaluated on one subway line (the green line) that runs through Bronx and Manhattan in NYC. In the stations included in the study, the total number of advertisements were tallied and classified according to the type of advertisement. When an advertisement for alcohol was identified, it was determined whether the ad was for an alcoholic beverage, or it if was for a different product but exhibited an alcoholic beverage in some way. A total of 26 advertisements were identified which marketed an alcohol product. An additional 24 ads were noted for marketing another product or service whereby, alcohol was depicted as being consumed. There was a statistically significant difference in ads between the different lines t (20.04)=7.62, p<0.001, with an average of 1.5 ads on the uptown lines (heading toward and through the borough with the lowest median income) versus 0.06 ads on the downtown lines (heading toward and through the borough with the highest median income). Given the far reach that subway advertisements have, focus could shift to health promoting products, versus those that are deleterious.
Effects of interword spacing on native English readers of Chinese as a second language
Authors: Bassetti Bene , Lu Mehui
Published: March 2016

Interword spacing facilitates English native readers but not native readers of Chinese, a writing system that does not mark word boundaries. L1-English readers of Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) could then be facilitated if spacing is added between words in Chinese materials. However, previous studies produced inconsistent results. This study tested the hypothesis that interword spacing facilitates L1-English CSL readers. We used an online multiple-choice gap-filling task to test 12 English CSL readers and 12 Chinese natives reading a series of eight texts of suitable difficulty, written with or without interword spacing. The CSL readers read faster with interword spacing than without, while Chinese native readers were not affected. The interword spacing effect was negatively correlated with measures of reading proficiency. It is argued that interword spacing facilitates CSL readers reading materials of sufficient complexity by facilitating their lexical parsing. Pedagogical implications are discussed.
Role of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, stromal derived factor-1 and retinoic acid in pathophysiology of neuropathic pain in rats
Authors: Hamed Enas Ahmed , Mohamed Farghaly Hanan Sayed , Abdel Mola Asmaa Fathey , Fahmi Minerva Kamal , Makhlouf Madiha Mohammed , Balfas Mohamed Abdullah
Published: March 2016

Background: Chemokines have been recently recognized to play a role in chronic pain syndromes’ pathophysiology. This study investigated the role of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1), and retinoic acid (RA) as targets for the therapeutic approach of neuropathic pain.

Methods: A chronic constriction injury (CCI) model of neuropathic pain by unilateral ligation of left sciatic nerve was performed in adult female Wistar rats. The effects of doxycycline (Dox, 50 mg/kg/day i.p. for 7 days), single dose of bicyclam (5 mg/kg i.p.), RA (15 mg/kg/day i.p. for 7 days), and their combination(s) on behavioral tests of nociception (Von Frey filaments; paw pressure test) on days 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 of operation were studied. Serum concentrations of MCP-1 and SDF-1 were measured by ELISA. Histological examination of the sciatic nerve was investigated.

Results: CCI of sciatic nerve significantly induced mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia and an increase of MCP-1 and SDF-1 serum levels. Dox-treated groups (Dox, Dox+bicyclam, Dox+RA, Dox+bicyclam+RA) and bicyclam-treated groups (bicyclam, Dox+bicyclam, bicyclam+RA, Dox+bicyclam+RA) attenuated CCI-induced behavioral and biochemical changes. RA inhibited CCI-induced mechanical hyperalgesia but produced a time-dependent reversal of allodynia. Histological findings showed degenerative changes of sciatic nerve after CCI that were partially recovered in Dox-treated groups.

Conclusions: These findings demonstrate an association between serum MCP-1 and SDF-1 concentrations and behavioral manifestations of neuropathic pain. RA administration decreased neuropathic pain (antihyperalgesic effect) but did not cause any improvement in sciatic nerve tissues, either alone or in combination with chemokine antagonists. Thus, chemokines may serve as potential targets for drug development in neuropathic pain treatment.
Co-constructing meaning and context in international teacher education
Authors: Hahl Kaisa
Published: March 2016

In teacher education, students not only construct content knowledge but examine theory through their own experiences to be able to apply it to practice in equitable education. Teacher education prepares students for a certain educational system and usually it is the one in which the students are themselves educated. International higher education programmes in countries where English is not an official language use English as a lingua franca (ELF) for teaching and learning. However, participants come to a communicative situation with their own history, past experiences, knowledge, and their own frames of reference. This article looks at an excerpt from a particular university teaching session in English-medium instruction (EMI) teacher education in Finland where a group of international students from diverse educational, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds negotiate for meaning and common understanding. A discussion about an ethical dilemma related to student assessment is analyzed qualitatively turn-by-turn to show how communicative resources help overcome mis- and non-understanding that stems from, besides linguistic difficulties, understanding contexts in different ways. The achievement of mutual intelligibility and individual learning required the participation of many to allow for the linguistic challenges of understanding less familiar varieties and uses of English, and interpret the cultural and contextual levels behind the utterances.
Medullary thyroid carcinoma: a review on ethical considerations in treatment of children
Authors: Nozhat Zahra , Hedayati Mehdi
Published: March 2016

Thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system and it accounts approximately 1%–3% of all human cancers. Among the three subtypes of thyroid cancers, medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is the most common cause of death in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2A (MEN2A), MEN type 2B (MEN2B) and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC). Generally, MTC accounts for up to 10% of all types of thyroid cancers. It is one of the aggressive forms of thyroid carcinoma which is manifested in childhood ages more than adults, and it comprises about 17% of all pediatric thyroid cancer. Like the other cancers, prevention of MTC is easier than its cure. In the recent decades (from 1993) the diagnosis of asymptomatic child carrying

X-linked recessive congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is caused by mutations of the arginine vasopressin type 2 receptor gene (AVPR2). More than 200 mutations of the

We herein report a Japanese kindred with partial NDI. The proband is an 8-year-old boy who was referred to our hospital for nocturnal enuresis. Water deprivation test and hypertonic saline test suggested partial renal antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) resistance.

Analysis of genomic DNA revealed a novel missense mutation (p.L161P) in the patient. The patient’s mother was heterozygous for the mutation. Three-dimensional (3-D) modeling study showed that L161P possibly destabilizes the transmembrane domain of the V2 receptor, resulting in its misfolding or mislocalization.

Distinguishing partial NDI from nocturnal enuresis is important. A clinical clue for diagnosis of partial NDI is an incompatibly high level of AVP despite normal serum osmolality.

Revisiting dynamic space in film from a semiotic perspective
Authors: Tseng Chiao-I
Published: March 2016

This paper revisits a particular area of concern in computer generated (CG) visual effects, namely, the problem of the space in dynamic, multiple panels created by digital processes. The paper critiques recent statements made on narrative understanding, positing equivalences between a viewer’s navigation across dynamic frames in CG images and human-computer interactions, as well as claims of narrative complexity in films using dynamic frames. This paper will argue that it is necessary to approach the meaning construction of cinematic space by distinguishing analytical levels of materiality from their discursive meaning, because the visual effect created by the manipulation of a dynamic spatial layout does not necessarily burden the viewer’s linear path for constructing coherent spatial meaning.
Zero sign duality in visual semiotics
Authors: Cantor Robert M.
Published: March 2016

In this paper, the dyadic concept of zero sign in general linguistics is transformed into a triadic concept of zero sign in visual semiotics. A formal duality relation is defined between two types of visual zero sign. It is argued that the common experience of failure to perceive visual zero signs may be due to either inattention of the interpreter or camouflage of the object of the sign. We conclude that dual zero signs act as detectors in visual semiotics.
Conceptual embodiment in visual semiotics
Authors: Cantor Robert M.
Published: March 2016

In this paper, the basic concepts of Peircean semiotics are derived from visual experience by the process of conceptual embodiment. We begin with embodiment of the universal Categories of Being that are accessible to thought or the universal Categories of Thought, which Charles S. Peirce defined and termed Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness. On this basis, we demonstrate conceptual embodiments of the Peircean typologies of dyadic relations, triadic relations and representations. The phenomenology of visual perception is modeled as a triadic typology of embodied mental processes which we term detection, localization and identification. Based upon the pioneering work of Lakoff and Johnson, we examine the role of visual embodiment in concept formation as inferred from linguistic expressions. We conclude that certain fundamental physical and relational concepts may be regarded as the embodied interpretants of visual signs.
Reading palm-up signs: Neurosemiotic overview of a common hand gesture
Authors: Givens David B.
Published: March 2016

This article explores ways in which the human nervous system encodes and decodes palm-up gestural signs, signals, and cues. Palm-up gestures and their accompanying speech acts evolved from an ancient neurological system that gave rise to both gestural (pectoral) communication and vocal (laryngeal) language (Bass and Chagnaud 2013, Shared developmental and evolutionary origins for neural basis of vocal–acoustic and pectoral–gestural signaling.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences109. 10677–10684.). Meanings of palm-up cues are multifaceted and nuanced, and express degrees of emotional helplessness, cognitive uncertainty, prosodic emphasis, and social deference. By themselves or in combination with other hand movements – such as reaching, showing, and pointing – palm-up cues are used to begin speaking turns, ask questions, request favors, and share personal opinions, feelings, and moods. The palm-up hand movement is a possibly universal signal of deference, in Erving Goffman’s (1956, The nature of deference and demeanor. American Anthropologist 58(3). 473–502.) sense of the term, not unlike other deferential body-motion cues such as the anjai mudra, bow, curtsy, genuflection, kowtow, namaste, poussi-poussi, pranama, sampeah, and wai.
Exploring stories
Authors: Prince Gerald
Published: March 2016

Aiming to underline the link between storytelling content and ritual structure and to show how the building of community constitutes the meta-theme of storytelling in general and film narrative in particular, L. A. Alexander explores the notion of symbolic community and provides a detailed account of narrative (film) genres in terms of three parameters–their origin in a basic ritual, the cultural need they address, and the cultural function they fulfill–as well as sets of rules for the successful creation of fictional worlds. Though it does not pay much attention to such important narrational elements as distance, speed, and point of view, Alexander’s exploration sheds decisive light on the foundations, characteristics, and possibilities of fictional worlds represented in (film) narratives.
Noether Symmetry Analysis of the Dynamic Euler-Bernoulli Beam Equation
Authors: Johnpillai A.G. , Mahomed K.S. , Harley C. , Mahomed F.M.
Published: March 2016

We study the fourth-order dynamic Euler-Bernoulli beam equation from the Noether symmetry viewpoint. This was earlier considered for the Lie symmetry classification. We obtain the Noether symmetry classification of the equation with respect to the applied load, which is a function of the dependent variable of the underlying equation. We find that the principal Noether symmetry algebra is two-dimensional when the load function is arbitrary and extends for linear and power law cases. For all cases, for each of the Noether symmetries associated with the usual Lagrangian, we construct conservation laws for the equation via the Noether theorem. We also provide a basis of conservation laws by using the adjoint algebra. The Noether symmetries pick out the special value of the power law, which is –7. We consider the Noether symmetry reduction for this special case, which gives rise to a first integral that is used for our numerical code. For this, we then find numerical solutions using an in-built function in MATLAB called bvp4c, which is a boundary value solver for differential equations that are depicted in five figures. The physical solutions obtained are for the deflection of the beam with an increase in displacement. These are given in four figures and discussed.

Published: March 2016

In this article, we constructed formal Lagrangian of Phi-4 equation, and then via this formal Lagrangian, we found adjoint equation. We investigated if the Lie point symmetries of the equation satisfy invariance condition or not. Then we used conservation theorem to find conservation laws of Phi-4 equation. Finally, the exact solutions of the equation were obtained through the (G′/G, 1/G)-expansion method.
Banking on Wild Relatives to Feed the World
Authors: Montenegro Maywa
Published: March 2016

Crop wild relatives, the progenitors and kin of domesticated crop species, promise breeders a potent weapon against climate change. Having evolved outside the pampered environs of farms, wild relatives tend to be more rugged to survive temperature, salt, floods, and drought—all the extremes characteristic of a warming planet. But who will benefit from re-wilded crops? What kinds of agricultural systems will they tend to support? And can wild relatives be protected before they are lost under pavement, desertification, and expanding industrial farms? In this essay, I explore different visions of conservation and use for crop wild relatives. With CWR valued at an estimated $115–120 billion to the global economy annually, many researchers suggest ancient germplasm can be harnessed to feed billions in a warming world. Others look more closely at ancient customs and farmer knowledge that have long promoted conservation of wild species within and around cultivated landscapes. By intentionally planting crops at field borders, farmers also perform “in vivo” breeding. I conclude that wild relatives hold much potential to reinfuse diversity into eroded crop gene pools, providing greater systemic resilience. But unless we consider who controls seeds, intellectual property, and wild and agricultural lands, CWR innovations will only prop up an agriculture that ultimately undercuts crop and wild relative renewal.
Feeding the Girmitiya: Food and Drink on Indentured Ships to the Sugar Colonies
Authors: Kumar Ashutosh
Published: March 2016

This paper looks at gastronomic identity in the age of global labor migrations. Focusing on the nineteenth-century indentured labor voyages from northern India to the sugar colonies in the Caribbean and Asia-Pacific regions, it highlights the sea voyage as both a social setting and a mirror back onto colonial society. The space of the indentured labor ship serves as an innovative site for understanding the political, cultural, and economic dimensions of historical labor movements, through which colonial politics and gustemic identities were negotiated. An analysis of the food provisions and other culinary items that British colonial officials provided to indentured workers during their journeys situates the “taste” of laborers in colonial feedings.
Culinary Work at the Crossroads in Istanbul
Authors: Yenal Zafer , Kubiena Michael
Published: March 2016

Alongside the emergence of a new breed of chefs from diverse social and culinary backgrounds in Istanbul during the last two decades, new culinary interpretations and appropriations are appearing with regard to what is signified by authenticity in culinary products and practices. Here localism unfolds as the main trend and theme. This tendency is further strengthened by the formation of a new political economy of taste in Istanbul, which is defined by a double movement. On the one hand, there is a nascent transition in culinary work from craftsmanship to a more specialized professionalism, a process that invokes significant economic and social tensions. On the other, a new eating public is emerging, a more cosmopolitan foodie group, with more ambition, desire, and motivation to try culinary products that are out of the ordinary.

Published: March 2016

Upaya memberikan perlindungan terhadap Anak yang berhadapan dengan hukum dalam Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak menunjukkan perkembangan yang sangat berarti. Selama ini terhadap anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum, ditangani secara umum seperti orang dewasa. Anak-anak tersebut melewati proses hukum tanpa ada pendampingan bahkan segera dilakukan upaya paksa berupa penangkapan dan penahanan sehingga anak mengalami putus sekolah. Undang-Undang No. 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak meletakkan fondasi perlindungan anak dengan pendekatan Keadilan Restoratif yaitu dalam penyelesaian perkara melibatkan pelaku, korban, keluarga pelaku/korban dan pihak lain yang terkait untuk bersama-sama mencari penyelesaian yang adil dengan menekankan pemulihan kembali pada keadaan semula dan bukan pembalasan. Keadilan restoratif ini diwujudkan melalui Diversi yaitu pengalihan penyelesaian perkara anak dari proses peradilan pidana ke proses ke luar pengadilan pidana. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa di Jawa Tengah kasus anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum secara umum diselesaikan melalui jalur diversi dan sebagian lainnya diproses menggunakan berdasarkan KUHAP atau jalur pidana. Hal lainnya meskipun sudah menerapkan jalur diversi terhadap anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum namun belum ada keseragaman atau kesamaan model diversi sebagaimana yang diamanatkan di dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak.

Efforts to provide protection against Children in conflict with the law in the Criminal Justice System Child shows a very significant development. During against children in conflict with the law, generally handled as an adult. These children pass through the legal process without immediate assistance even forceful measures in the form of arrest and detention so that children have dropped out of school. Law No. 11 Year 2012 on the Criminal Justice System Child laid the foundation of child protection approach Restorative Justice that in settling disputes involving offenders, victims, family offender/victim and other relevant parties to work together to find a fair settlement with the emphasis on restoring back to its original state and not retaliation. Restorative justice is realized through the transfer of settling disputes Diversion namely children from the criminal justice process to a process outside the criminal court. The results of this research showed that in Central Java case of children in conflict with the law are generally resolved through the diversion and some processed using by the Criminal Code or the criminal path. Another thing despite applying diversion path towards children in conflict with the law but there is no uniformity or sameness models of diversion as mandated in Law No. 11 Year 2012 on Child Criminal Justice System

This study aims to investigate the effect of multi-channel teaching media and cognitive styles toward the history learning achievement. This quantitative, experimental study employs a 2X2 factorial design. It involves two independent variables, i.e. multi-channel teaching media (X1) and cognitive styles (X2), and learning achievement (Y) as the dependent variable. Population of the study is all students of the History Education Department who are taking the History of Indonesia 3. Samples are selected from this group using random sampling and are collected by conducting Learning Achievement and Cognitive Style tests. Findings signify that: (1) Teaching activities which utilize teaching media by utility (making use of the environment) bring greater learning achievement compared to those that utilize teaching media by design. (2) There are differences between the learning achievements of students. Those with field-independent cognitive style show better achievement than students who are field-dependent. (3) Findings show that students of the Indonesian History 3 course who were taught using teaching media by utility obtain better learning achievement than those who were taught using teaching media by design. Making use of the media available in the immediate learning environment will make it easier for students to manipulate information that they receive with their respective cognitive structure.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate whether early developmental intervention (EDI) can positively affect the trajectories of cognitive development among children from low-resource families.

METHODS:

Longitudinal analyses were conducted of data from 293 children in the Brain Research to Ameliorate Impaired Neurodevelopment Home-based Intervention Trial, a randomized controlled trial of a home-based EDI program, to examine trajectories of Bayley Scales of Infant Development—Second Edition Mental Development Index (MDI) scores from 12 to 36 months of age among young children from high- and low-resource families in 3 low- to middle-resource countries.

RESULTS:

A 3-way interaction among family resources, intervention group, and age was statistically significant after controlling for maternal, child, and birth characteristics (Wald χ2(1) = 9.41, P = .002). Among children of families with high resources, both the intervention and control groups had significant increases in MDI scores over time (P < .001 and P = .002, respectively), and 36-month MDI scores for these 2 groups did not differ significantly (P = .602). However, in families with low resources, the EDI group displayed greater improvement, resulting in significantly higher 36-month MDI scores than the control group (P < .001). In addition, the 36-month MDI scores for children in families with low resources receiving EDI did not differ significantly from children from high-resource families in either the EDI (P = .509) or control (P = .882) groups.

CONCLUSIONS:

A home-based EDI during the first 3 years of life can substantially decrease the developmental gap between children from families with lower versus higher resources, even among children in low- to middle-resource countries.

Chiroderma improvisum is a rare bat previously known only on the Caribbean Islands of Guadeloupe and Montserrat. We report the first recorded capture of C. improvisum on the island of Saint Kitts, 80 km northwest of Montserrat. Cytochrome b (cytB) gene analysis of the single captured specimen confirmed the identity of the bat as C. improvisum; however, there is enough difference to indicate some population divergence, and possibly differentiation at the subspecific level among islands. We also report the first records of an ectoparasite, Periglischrus iheringi (Acarina: Spinturnicidae), from this bat.
New records of the William’s Jerboa, Paralactaga cf. williamsi (Thomas, 1897) (Rodentia: Dipodidae) from northeastern Iran with notes on its ecology

Published: March 2016

Paralactaga williamsi, a five-toed jerboa, is known to occur in Anatolian Turkey, northern Lebanon, Armenia, Azerbaijan and western Iran. Here, we report the first record of this species in Kopet-Dag Mountains, northeastern Iran. Species identification was based on external morphology, skull and molar teeth morphology and morphometrics studies, as well as molecular an­al­yses. Brief notes on the ecology of the species are also provided. This new record expands the distribution of P. williamsi in Iran about 850 km eastward, however further sampling will be needed for a better judgment on the taxonomic status of this species in eastern Iran and to determine the patterns of its distribution. Since the specimen did not group with other P. williamsi in the cytochrome b analysis, we provisionally classify the specimens as P. cf. williamsi.

Chalcogenide glasses are the advanced materials of choice for the emerging nanoionic memory devices – conductive bridge random access memory (CBRAM). To understand the nature of the effects occurring in these devices under influence of electron-beam radiation, the interaction of blanked chalcogenide films and nanostructured films containing chalcogenide glass and silver (Ag) source are studied. Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction are used for establishing the structural and compositional effects occurring under radiation. They have strong compositional dependence with the stoichiometric compositions being most stable showing less structural changes after radiation. These effects are associated with the availability of lone-pair electrons, their participation in the bonding configurations and the coupling of electron states in the bandgap. They are further enhanced in the bilayers by silver diffusion in the chalcogenide matrix, as a result of interaction with electrons. These effects are used to interpret the electrical performance of CBRAM devices after radiation. The devices are characterized by their resistance states, threshold voltage and endurance. Those based on selenium-rich and stoichiometric composition undergo continuous parameters changes with increase in the radiation dose while in the devices based on germanium-rich composition a counter play of the structural changes and expulsion of silver occur.
Sintaxe e semântica do futuro do subjuntivo
Authors: Perini Mário Alberto
Published: March 2016

Resumo: Este artigo é o relatório da primeira parte de um trabalho em curso, que compreenderá duas partes: na primeira examino a distribuição do futuro do indicativo (FI) relativamente ao futuro do subjuntivo (FS), e chego à conclusão de que o FS é na verdade uma variante posicionai do FI em certos ambientes. Na segunda parte pretendo ocupar-me das ocorrências dos mesmos tempos dentro de orações relativas restritivas, onde é bastante claro que a análise elaborada na primeira parte não é adequada. Ainda não tenho solução para esses casos; limito-me a observar que o FS precisa ser interpretado como a realização superficial de dois tempos subjacentes.
Clitic placement in Portuguese
Authors: Oliveira Marco Antônio de
Published: March 2016

Abstract: In this paper I will examine the conditions on the positioning of non-reflexive clitic pronouns in Portuguese. I will argue that clitic pronouns can be reordered only inside the sentences where they are generated and that, consequently, they cannot be moved out their original sentences to be attached to a verb in a higher sentence. A grammar of clitic placement in Portuguese will be offered to generate only the grammatical sentences and to block the ungrammatical ones. I will argue also that those cases in Portuguese in which a pronoun originated in an embedded sentence appears in the surface structure as a clitic attached to a verb in the matrix sen tence do not get there via clitic movement, but by a different transformation, namely Raising from Subject to Object.
Aprendendo a ler a televisão: uma confluência possível
Authors: Muanis Felipe
Published: March 2016

Resumo: A televisão, desde que foi inventada, passou por transformações na forma e no modo de percepção de seus espectadores. A palavra escrita, desde então, se ressentiu da maneira como a imagem se popularizou, gerando uma preocupação presente ainda nos dias de hoje, um antagonismo entre as letras e o audiovisual, mais especificamente à televisão. É importante, então, pensar qual é a inserção da televisão na formação de públicos. A questão do conteúdo é sempre discutida, mas passa a ser essencial a transformação do espectador comum, passivo, de homem-montador para montador cinematográfico, ativo, para que o antagonismo se resolva através da educação.

Palavras-chave: homem-montador; audiovisual; educação.

Abstract: The television, since that it was invented, it passed for hashings in the form and the mode of perception of the audience. The written word, since then, if resented in the way as the picture was popularized generating, still nowadays, an antagonism between the words and the audiovisual, more specifically to the television. It is important, then, to think which is the insertion of the television in the audience development. The content is always pointed but it starts to be essential the hashing of the common spectator, of ―editing-man‖ for a cinematographic one, an active assembler. By this way, the antagonism can be solved by education.

Keywords: editing-man; audiovisual; education.

Ambigramas: leitura de imagens?
Authors: Daibert Lindsley
Published: March 2016

Este trabalho tenta demonstrar a emergência de um novo fenômeno estético que lida com a manipulação criativa da palavra escrita: os ambigramas. Os resultados sugerem que a incorporação de seus procedimentos construtivos pelo campo literário poderiam enriquecer significativamente o repertório das poéticas visuais contemporâneas.
Nos caminhos sem fim de Paris: um encontro com Giacometti
Authors: Rodrigues Rodrigo Freitas
Published: March 2016

Resumo: O presente artigo versa sobre a imagem alegórica da cidade como registro da flânerie. O texto pretende revelar possíveis correspondências entre as imagens poéticas sugeridas nos versos de Baudelaire e a Paris sans fin, cidade gravada por Giacometti. Em ambos os casos o espaço urbano assume outra conotação, a qual excede a mera ordem geográfica e física de seus elementos, para também sugerir aspectos simbólicos e metafóricos. A leitura desses registros poéticos e artísticos faz do leitor contemporâneo um flâneur, ao permitir deambulações pelas ruas, narradas nas páginas de um livro, ou impressas nas folhas de um álbum de gravuras. Isso acontece porque a errância pós-moderna prescinde da experiência direta do mundo e a cidade pode ser apenas uma imagem alegórica.

Abstract: This article is about the alegoric cityscape as a flânerie note. The text intends to reveal possible similarities between the poetic images, suggested in Baudelaire’s verses and Giacometti’s engraved city, Paris Sans Fin. In both cases the urban space gets another connotation, it exceeds the mere geografic or phisic order of the elements and even represents symbolic and metaphoric aspects. A modern reader becomes himself a “flâneur” when reads these poetic and artistic notes. It is possible to rove through the narrated streets in a book or printed on the pages of an engraving scrapbook. The post modern wanderings do not need the real experience anymore, and the city can be only an alegoric image.

Keywords: Art; poetry; engraving; flâneur; cityscape.

O imaginário na construção da realidade e do texto ficcional
Authors: Castro Sandra De Pádua
Published: March 2016

Resumo: Neste artigo, tendo como base os estudos de Wolfgang Iser,
almejou-se identificar a função do imaginário e dos textos
ficcionais na constituição das sociedades e da vida humanas.
Por uma visão do texto ficcional além de determinações que
poderiam reduzi-lo à mera cópia, este texto buscou romper a
dicotomia ficção/realidade, realçando a interdependência
desses conceitos. Para isso, foi efetuada uma analogia entre o
processo de criação textual e de leitura e o processo de
realização do imaginário como fundamento da realidade.

Abstract: On this article, having as basis Wolfgang Iser's studies, it was longed to identify the function of imaginary and the fictitious texts in the constitution of the societies and the human beings' life. For a vision of literature beyond determination that could reduce it mere copy, this text
searched to breach the dichotomy fiction/reality, enhancing the interdependence of these concepts. For this an analogy was effected between the process of literary creation and reading and of ccomplishment of the imaginary one as basis of the reality.

Keywords: imaginary, reality, fiction.
