Understanding demand for retail socially responsible investments: a survey of individual investors and financial consultants
Authors: Valor Carmen , de la Cuesta Marta , Fernandez Beatriz
Published: January 2008

There is an intimate connection between socially responsible investment (SRI) and corporate social responsibility (CSR): faced with the demands of their investors, listed companies have started to adopt CSR strategies to comply with the demands of ethical fund managers and ethical index managers. This paper is an exploratory study of the obstacles to SRI among individual investors in Spain. Individuals and financial consultants were surveyed about their current investment strategies, their preferences as regards criteria and ethical strategies, and the perceived obstacles for the development of SRI. The findings unveil the factors leading to the limited development of the SRI Spanish retail market. The paper offers guidelines that can be used by Spanish financial consultants and foreign fund managers when approaching the Spanish market.

Evidences for tangential migrations in Xenopus telencephalon: Developmental patterns and cell tracking experiments
Authors: Moreno Nerea , González Agustín , Rétaux Sylvie
Published: January 2008

Extensive tangential cell migrations have been described in the developing mammalian, avian, and reptilian forebrain, and they are viewed as a powerful developmental mechanism to increase neuronal complexity in a given brain structure. Here, we report for the first time anatomical and cell tracking evidence for the presence of important migratory processes in the developing forebrain of the anamniote Xenopus laevis. Combining developmental gene expression patterns (Pax6, Nkx2.1, Isl1, Lhx5, Lhx9, and Dll3), neurotransmitter identity (GABA, NOS, ChAT), and connectivity information, several types of putative migratory cell populations and migration routes originating in the ventral pallium and the subpallium are proposed. By means of in vivo cell tracking experiments, pallio‐subpallial and subpallio‐pallial migrating neurons are visualized. Among them, populations of Nkx2.1+ striatal interneurons and pallial GABAergic interneurons, which also express the migratory marker doublecortin, are identified. Finally, we find that these tangentially migrating pallial interneurons travel through an “isl1‐free channel” that may guide their course through the subpallium. Our findings strongly suggest that the developing Xenopus telencephalon shares many similarities with amniotes in terms of neuronal specification and migrations. However, some differences are discussed, particularly with regard to the evolution of the pallium. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Develop Neurobiol, 2008
Differential development of odorant receptor expression patterns in the olfactory epithelium: A quantitative analysis in the mouse septal organ
Authors: Tian Huikai , Ma Minghong
Published: January 2008

The rodent olfactory epithelium expresses more than 1000 odorant receptors (ORs) with distinct patterns, yet it is unclear how such patterns are established during development. In the current study, we investigated development of the expression patterns of different ORs in the septal organ, a small patch of olfactory epithelium predominantly expressing nine identified ORs. The presumptive septal organ first appears at about embryonic day 16 (E16) and it completely separates from the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) at about postnatal day 7 (P7). Using in situ hybridization, we quantified the densities of the septal organ neurons labeled by specific RNA probes of the nine abundant OR genes from E16 to postnatal 3 months. The results indicate that olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) expressing different ORs have asynchronous temporal onsets. For instance, MOR256‐17 and MOR236‐1 cells are present in the septal organ at E16; however, MOR0‐2 cells do not appear until P0. In addition, OSNs expressing different ORs show distinct developmental courses and reach their maximum densities at different stages ranging from E16 (e.g. MOR256‐17) to 1 month (e.g. MOR256‐3 and MOR235‐1). Furthermore, early onset does not correlate with high abundance in adult. This study reveals a dynamic composition of the OSNs expressing different ORs in the developing olfactory epithelium. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Develop Neurobiol, 2008
Consultation system with contact person through on‐demand calling of a proper expert for a problem
Authors: Terahama Yukinori , Kojima Hiroyuki , Mizuno Hirotaka , Kinukawa Hiroshi
Published: January 2008

Local branches of financial institutions offer to their customers a wide spectrum of advisory services which must be upgraded from time to time to keep up with changes in the mix of financial products offered and with the growing sophistication of the customers' inquiries. However, keeping the full staff of experts trained in various aspects of banking business is not practical from the standpoint of cost‐effectiveness, while without them it is difficult to provide high‐quality services. In this paper we propose a window consultation system for customers at the branch office using the on‐demand calling of an expert specializing in the subject related to the inquiry. The proposed system is based on the multimedia network technology and it has two main functions: selection of an on‐line expert and tele‐consultation providing the replies or expert advises to the inquiries. A customer visiting his branch office is interviewed by a clerk who determines the contents of the request and, if he is unable to give the customer satisfactory advice, contacts through the proposed system an appropriate expert. This system makes it possible to provide high‐quality services and to avoid mistakes, which can be made by customers if they operate the consultation systems on their own. The proposed system has a three‐layered structure: application component layer, middleware component layer, and fundamental component layer.

Alcohol electrooxidation at Pt‐Ru sputter‐deposited electrode
Authors: Shibamine Masahiko , Yamada Akifumi , Umeda Minoru , Tanaka Shohji
Published: January 2008

The use of various alcohols including methanol has been considered as the fuel of direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs). Thus far, the Pt alloys have mainly been studied as anode electrocatalysts for DAFCs. Pt itself is poisoned by chemical species produced during the alcohol oxidation. There exist many reports that the addition of Ru is effective for alcohol oxidation. In this work, we prepared a Pt‐Ru co‐sputtered electrode by changing the Ru content, sputtering time, and Ar pressure for the sputtering. By using the prepared electrocatalysts, relationships between sputtering conditions and electrocatalytic activity were measured for some alcohols. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: January 2008

Vanadyl‐phthalocyanine (VOPc) thin films deposited on a KBr substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) consist of nano‐VOPc crystals epitaxially grown. The nano‐VOPc crystals acquire a square shape as a result of annealing at 150°C. The size of the nano‐crystals is controllable by changing the conditions of MBE deposition and thermal treatment. The growth processes of nano‐crystals on the KBr substrate are elucidated experimentally and are shown to be closely related to strong interaction between the VOPc molecules and the KBr substrate. Their mechanisms can be explained in terms of surface diffusion of the VOPc molecules on the KBr substrate. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Gain‐scheduling control of a rotary inverted pendulum by weight optimization and H∞ loop shaping procedure
Authors: Yubai Kazuhiro , Okuhara Kazunori , Hirai Junji
Published: January 2008

Gain‐scheduling control is an effective method for use with plants whose dynamics change significantly according to the operating point. The frozen parameter method, a practical gain‐scheduling controller synthesis method, interpolates the controllers designed at prespecified (frozen) operating points according to the current operation point. Hyde and Glover proposed a gain‐scheduling control method in which the H∞ loop shaping procedure is adopted as a controller synthesis method at each operating point. The H∞ loop shaping procedure is based on loop shaping of an open loop characteristic by frequency weights and is known to be effective for plants with bad condition numbers. However, weight selection satisfying the control specifications is a difficult job for a designer. This paper describes the design of suboptimal weights and a controller by means of an algorithm that maximizes the robust stability margin and shapes the open‐loop characteristic into the desired shape at each operating point. In addition, we formulate the weight optimization problem as a generalized eigenvalue minimization problem, which reduces the burden on the designer in weight selection. Finally, we realize a robust, high‐performance control system by scheduling both weights and controllers. The effectiveness of the proposed control system is verified in terms of the achieved robust stability margin and the experimental time responses of a rotary inverted pendulum, which involves strong nonlinear dynamics. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reactivity of [M(η4‐P2C2tBu2)] (M = Ge, Sn), with tert‐Butylphosphaethyne P≡CtBu: Synthesis, Structural Characterisation and Computational Studies of the Novel Zwitterionic Organophosphorus Cage Compounds [MP4C4tBu4] (M = Ge, Sn)

Published: January 2008

Treatment of [M(η4‐P2C2tBu2)] with the phosphaalkyne P≡CtBu leads to the formation of the unusual zwitterionic cage compounds [M(P4C4tBu4)] (M = Ge, Sn) which have been fully characterised in solution by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and the solid‐state structure of [GeP4C4tBu4] has been elucidated by a single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction study. DFT calculations support the zwitterionic formulation and suggest the likely reaction pathway. Whilst [GeP4C4tBu4] exhibits considerable stability, [SnP4C4tBu4] shows gradual decomposition in solution within a matter of hours. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
A transport‐distance approach to scaling erosion rates: 3. Evaluating scaling characteristics of Mahleran
Authors: Wainwright John , Parsons Anthony J. , Müller Eva N. , Brazier Richard E. , Powell D. Mark , Fenti Bantigegne
Published: January 2008

In the two previous papers of this series, we demonstrated how a novel approach to erosion modelling (Mahleran – Model for Assessing Hillslope‐Landscape Erosion, Runoff And Nutrients) provided distinct advantages in terms of process representation and explicit scaling characteristics when compared with existing models. A first evaluation furthermore demonstrated the ability of the model to reproduce spatial and temporal patterns of erosion and their particle‐size characteristics on a large rainfall‐simulation plot. In this paper, we carry out a more detailed evaluation of the model using monitored erosion events on plots of different size. The evaluation uses four plots of 21·01, 115·94, 56·84 and 302·19 m2, with lengths of 4·12, 14·48, 18·95 and 27·78 m, respectively, on similar soils to the rainfall‐simulation plot, for which runoff and erosion were monitored under natural rainfall. Although the model produces the correct ranking of the magnitude of erosion events, it performs less well in reproducing the absolute values and particle‐size distributions of the eroded sediment. The implications of these results are evaluated in terms of requirements for process understanding and data for parameterization of improved soil‐erosion models. We suggest that there are major weaknesses in the current understanding and data underpinning existing models. Consequently, a more holistic re‐evaluation is required that produces functional relationships for different processes that are mutually consistent, and that have appropriate parameterization data to support their use in a wide range of environmental conditions.

Discussion: Misrepresentation of the USLE in ‘Is sediment delivery a fallacy?’
Authors: Kinnell P. I. A.
Published: January 2008

The assertion that the application of the USLE to predicting soil losses within a catchment or watershed is not sound because the USLE provides an estimate of erosion that would be measured if the entire area were divided up into 22·1 m long plots, and the output from them all added together, is incorrect. The slope length factor was derived from data obtained using a wide range of plot lengths and included the 22·1 m length simply to force it to take on a value of 1·0 when the slope length is 22·1 m. The 22·1 m length has no physical significance but the USLE slope length factor has a physical basis when applied to planar and convex hillslopes. The use of sediment delivery ratios when the USLE is applied to concave areas attempts to correct for applying the USLE beyond its design criteria. It fails because, in using the sediment delivery ratios in the prediction sediment delivery, it is incorrectly assumed that sediment delivery ratios de not vary with the amount of sediment entering a zone of deposition.
Long‐term records of dissolved organic carbon flux from peat‐covered catchments: evidence for a drought effect?
Authors: Worrall F. , Burt T. P. , Adamson J.
Published: January 2008

This study considers three long records of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) flux from two catchments with peat‐covered headwaters. The catchments vary in size from 11 to 818 km2 and the records are at least 12 years old, with one record going back to 1965. The study compares both annual and monthly DOC flux records with a range of hydroclimatic indicators in order to test which component of droughts may contribute to increasing DOC flux. The study found that: (1) there was no significant correlation between any of the proposed drought variables and DOC flux in any of the study catchments over periods of up to 34 years; (2) the most important variable for explaining the DOC flux was the runoff from the catchments overlying a seasonal cycle and an underlying upward trend was present in some records; (3) the residual time‐series, after removal of the best‐fit models, showed no evidence of increased production after times of severe drought. The lack of any evidence for any additional biogeochemical reactions associated with drought supports evidence that DOC loss from peat is limited by its solubility and that its production is fast on the time‐scale of runoff events.

Streamflow scaling properties: investigating characteristic scales from different statistical approaches
Authors: Sauquet Eric , Ramos Maria‐Helena , Chapel Laetitia , Bernardara Pietro
Published: January 2008

This paper studies the links between scaling properties of river flow time series by comparing the results of three techniques applied to an extended data set of 34 French discharge gauging stations. The three approaches used are based on different mathematical tools and hypotheses: (1) shape analysis of flood hydrographs; (2) a multifractal framework through spectral and moment analyses, and (3) flood frequency analysis through the fitting of flood duration frequency curves (QdF). The general aim is to test the hypothesis of scaling invariance of river flow and the shape invariance of the hydrographs, in order to investigate the link between scaling properties and flow dynamics. In particular, the coherence between different approaches widely used in the literature to describe these characteristics is evaluated through the estimation of parameters defining the range of time‐scales on which the scaling properties are valid. The results show that most of these timescale parameters are linked to the flow dynamics and suggest that the approaches applied are interrelated. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Modelling river water temperature using deterministic, empirical, and hybrid formulations in a Mediterranean stream
Authors: Marcé Rafael , Armengol Joan
Published: January 2008

River water temperature is a common target of water quality models at the watershed scale, owing to its principal role in shaping biogeochemical processes and in stream ecology. Usually, models include physically‐based, deterministic formulations to calculate water temperatures from detailed meteorological information, which usually comes from meteorological stations located far from the river reaches. However, alternative empirical approaches have been proposed, that usually depend on air temperature as master variable. This study explored the performance of a semidistributed water quality application modelling river water temperature in a Mediterranean watershed, using three different approaches. First, a deterministic approach was used accounting for the different heat exchange components usually considered in water temperature models. Second, an empirical approximation was applied using the equilibrium temperature concept, assuming a linear relationship with air temperature. And third, a hybrid approach was constructed, in which the temperature equilibrium concept and the deterministic approach were combined. Results showed that the hybrid approach gave the best results, followed by the empirical approximation. The deterministic formulation gave the worst results. The hybrid approach not only fitted daily river water temperatures, but also adequately modelled the daily temperature range (maximum–minimum daily temperature). Other river water features directly dependent on water temperature, such as river intrusion depth in lentic systems (i.e. the depth at which the river inflow plunges to equilibrate density differences with lake water), were also correctly modelled even at hourly time steps. However, results for the different heat fluxes between river and atmosphere were very unrealistic. Although direct evidence of discrepancies between meteorological drivers measured at the meteorological stations and the actual river microclimate was not found, the use of models including empirical or hybrid formulations depending mainly on air temperature is recommended if only meteorological data from locations far from the river reaches are available.

Hydrogeological interactions between fault zones and alluvial aquifers in regional flow systems
Authors: Folch Albert , Mas‐Pla Josep
Published: January 2008

The hydrological influence of fault zones in tectonic areas is usually difficult to depict from field data. Numerical simulation allows representation of such flow systems and an estimation of flow lines and rates. This paper reports on simulations of the groundwater flow in a range‐and‐basin area affected by a regional fault zone, which may drain or recharge an overlaying alluvial aquifer. Different hydraulic conductivity values for the range rocks, the fault‐zone, and the sedimentary infill of the basin are considered, as well as different fault‐zone widths and boundary conditions. Results show that upward and downward fluxes develop in the upper part of the fault zone, controlled by the action of the alluvial aquifer, influencing the recharge of the sedimentary basin. This paper shows the hydrological efficiency of fault zones as preferential flow; it also analyses the constraints that determine groundwater recharge to the surrounding basins. These results contribute to the understanding of hydrogeological dynamics in tectonic areas. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
