The Competitive Dynamics of New DVD Releases
Authors: Mukherjee Anirban , Kadiyali Vrinda
Published: August 2017

We study the market for new (movie) DVDs in the United States. Our demand model captures seasonality, freshness (i.e., time between theatrical and DVD release), and state dependence. We also develop a structural model of dynamic competition in which studios balance waiting for high-demand weeks, against reduced freshness, and against competitive crowding. We find that studios emphasize DVD revenues from larger movies (by theatrical revenue) over DVD revenues from smaller movies. Studios also emphasize revenue from consumers who prefer larger and fresher movies. These behaviors are consistent with managerial conservatism: studio executives forgo DVD revenues from smaller movies to ensure the DVD success of larger movies.

Authors: Lizcano Caro José Andelfo , Bolaños Sandro Javier , Medina Daza Rubén Javier
Published: August 2017

En Colombia, la regulación del servicio público de acueducto, en sus componentes de inversiones, de operación y mantenimiento, se ha realizado por actividades y por métodos de eficiencia relativa. La actividad inicial se ha establecido en la captación; la final, en la distribución. Esa concepción excluye otras actividades que garantizarían mayores caudales y ofrecerían mejores condiciones para el suministro de agua en horizontes de largo plazo. Desde el diseño de investigación de ciencias (DSR), y la definición de artefactos, se abordarán soluciones introductorias, para contribuir a la comprensión de la complejidad de los sistemas de agua potable.

Two-Legged Stool: New Findings from California on Nonprofits and Overhead
Authors: Berlin Nancy , Masaoka Jan , Schumann Mary Jo
Published: August 2017

Nonprofit overhead is a prevalent and controversial topic in the nonprofit and philanthropic sector. Online raters (such as Charity Navigator) point to the overhead rate as a key indicator of nonprofit worthiness. Different government entities use wildly different indirect cost rates when contracting with nonprofits, which translate into billions of dollars of funding being gained or lost. Foundations rarely have explicit guidelines, but most have informal rules of thumb that affect how a nonprofit can use grant funds. Meanwhile, nonprofit executives struggle to make sense of it all as they manage their operations amidst the conflicting requirements of their funding sources. To gain insights into how overhead costs are handled in nonprofits, the California Association of Nonprofits (CalNonprofits) conducted a survey of 451 California nonprofit executives, as well as interviews with elected members of county boards of supervisors and their staff throughout California in the spring of 2016. This paper reports on both of these, which were part of a larger initiative of CalNonprofits called The Nonprofit Overhead Project.

Kamandulis, S, Bruzas, V, Mockus, P, Stasiulis, A, Snieckus, A, and Venckunas, T. Sport-specific repeated sprint training improves punching ability and upper-body aerobic power in experienced amateur boxers. J Strength Cond Res 32(5): 1214–1221, 2018—High-intensity interval training improves endurance and performance, but it is unclear whether sprint-type upper-body interval training is similarly effective. This study explored the effects of 4-week sport-specific sprint interval training on punch characteristics and endurance capacity in boxers. Experienced male amateur boxers (n = 18) participated in this 4-week training study and were divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG) (n = 9 per group). Both groups completed standard low-intensity training. The EG also completed 3 rounds (14 sets of 3-second all-out punching with a 10-second rest) of a simulated fight using a punching bag with a 1-minute rest between rounds 3 times per week, whereas the CG performed the same 3 rounds of a simulated fight at low intensity. Three rounds of 14 sets of 3-second all-out punching of a bag ergometer with a 10-second rest were performed to measure punching abilities. Peak oxygen consumption and peak power were measured during progressive arm cranking before and after training. In response to training peak oxygen consumption and peak power in arm-cranking test increased in EG, also punching force increased and maintenance of punching frequency and punch force improved during the simulated fight, which resulted in greater cumulative force throughout the 3 rounds. There were no changes in the CG. The study shows that 1 month of all-out punching training (3 sessions per week with ∼2 minutes of all-out punching per session) improved both upper-body aerobic power and punching abilities in experienced amateur boxers.

Rawcliffe, AJ, Graham, SM, Simpson, RJ, Moir, GL, Martindale, RJ, Psycharakis, SG, and Connaboy, C. The effects of British Army footwear on ground reaction force and temporal parameters of British Army foot drill. J Strength Cond Res 34(3): 754–762, 2020—High rates of occupational training-related lower-limb musculoskeletal (MSK) overuse injuries are reported for British Army recruits during basic training. Foot drill is a repetitive impact loading occupational activity and involves striking the ground violently with an extended-knee (straight-leg) landing. Foot drill produces vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) equal to or greater than those reported for high-level plyometric exercises/activities. Shock absorbing footwear aid in the attenuation of the magnitude of vGRF, resulting in a reduced risk of lower-limb MSK overuse injury when running. The potential shock absorbing characteristics of standard issue British Army footwear on the magnitude of vGRF and temporal parameters of foot drill are scant. Therefore, this study sought to determine the magnitude of and examine changes in vGRF and temporal parameters of foot drill across 3 types of British Army footwear. Sampled at 1,000 Hz, the mean of 8 trials from 15 recreationally active men were collected from 4 foot drills; stand-at-ease, stand-at-attention, quick-march (QM), and halt. Analysis of a normal walk was included to act as a comparison with QM. Significant main effects (P ≤ 0.05) were observed between footwear and foot drill. The training shoe (TR) demonstrated significantly greater shock absorbing capabilities when compared with the combat boot and ammunition boot. Foot drill produced peak vGRF and peak vertical rate of force development in excess of 5 bw, and 350 bw·s−1, respectively. Time to peak vGRF ranged from 0.016 to 0.036 ms across foot drills, indicating that passive vGRF may not be under neuromuscular control. The marginal reductions in the magnitude of vGRF and temporal parameters in foot drill associated with the TR may act to reduce the accumulative impact loading forces experienced by recruits, subsequently minimizing the severity and rates of lower-limb MSK overuse injuries and recruit medical discharges during basic training.
Las “Fiestas de la Paz”. Ritualidad, cesarismo y modernidad en México en el arranque del siglo xx
Authors: Pérez Lara Campos
Published: August 2017

Este artículo analiza las “Fiestas de la Paz” celebradas en la ciudad de México entre el 1 y el 4 de diciembre de 1900, tanto desde el punto de vista ritual como discursivo. El objetivo de este análisis es, por una parte, mostrar el giro cesarista de la política de Porfirio Díaz en sus últimos años de gobierno, a partir de su construcción ritual; y, por otra, reflexionar sobre qué significado se le asignó oficialmente a la idea de la paz y qué papel jugó ésta en la construcción del carisma del General Díaz.

This article analyzes the “Fiestas de la Paz,” celebrated in Mexico City from December 1 to 4, 1900, from a ritual as well as a discursive point of view. The objective of this article is twofold: on the one hand, to show how the ritual construction of Porfirio Díaz’s politics during the last years of his government enabled those politics to take on a Caesarist bent; on the other hand, to reflect on the meaning officially assigned to the idea of peace and on the role this assignation played in the construction of General Díaz’s charisma.
Knights and Caballeros
Authors: Young Julia G.
Published: August 2017

This article reconstructs and analyzes the role of the Knights of Columbus in Mexico’s Cristero War. Founded in Connecticut in 1882, the Order quickly expanded into Mexico, establishing its first chapters there in 1905. Within two decades, the Mexican Caballeros de Colón had become one of the country’s most prominent and politically active Catholic lay organizations. During the Cristero War (1926–1929), the Mexican and U.S. Knights collaborated in order to resist the anticlerical Mexican state. In the process, the organization connected and politicized Catholics who supported the Cristero cause. By tracing the expansion of the Knights of Columbus from the United States into Mexico, and then following the Mexican Knights back into exile in the United States, this article demonstrates how transnational political activism shaped the lives of Catholics on both sides of the border.

Este artículo reconstruye y analiza el papel que jugó la orden llamada Knights of Columbus en la Guerra Cristera de México. Fundada en Connecticut en 1882, dicha orden se expandió rápidamente a México y estableció sus primeros capítulos ahí en 1905. En el lapso de dos décadas, los “Caballeros de Colón” mexicanos se convirtieron en una de las organizaciones católicas laicas más prominentes y con mayor actividad política del país. Durante la Guerra Cristera (1926–1929), los Caballeros mexicanos y estadounidenses colaboraron con el fin de resistir al Estado mexicano anticlerical. En este proceso, la organización conectó y politizó a los católicos que apoyaban la causa cristera. Al rastrear la expansión de los Caballeros de Colón de los Estados Unidos a México y al seguir sus pasos de regreso al exilio en Estados Unidos, este artículo demuestra cómo el activismo político transnacional conformó las vidas de los católicos a ambos lados de la frontera.
Lo queer de Carlos Monsiváis
Authors: Holcombe William Daniel
Published: August 2017

Este trabajo analiza la utilización del vocablo queer en los análisis socioculturales del cronista mexicano Carlos Monsiváis. Mientras que en Estados Unidos y Europa lo queer se convierte en teoría deconstructivista, en México Monsiváis (erudito por excelencia de los estudios sobre la sexualidad) emplea dicho término para estudiar la feminidad de algunos homosexuales en el ambiente gay. Dado que Monsiváis jamás pretende ser un académico o teórico queer, el término le sirve como herramienta para revelar la feminización de la imagen nacional mexicana y los discursos machistas mexicanos que se oponen a ella. El presente trabajo estudia los niveles sociales y las geografías queer como referentes que Monsiváis utiliza para manejar este concepto.

This essay analyzes how Mexican chronicler Carlos Monsiváis wields the term queer in his sociocultural analyses. Whereas in the United States and Europe queer is transformed into a deconstructivist theory, Monsiváis (expert par excellence within Mexican sexual studies) uses the term to study feminized homosexuals in gay environments. Since Monsiváis never claims to be a queer academic or theoretician, the term serves as a tool to reveal the feminization of the Mexican national image within Mexican male chauvinist discourses. This essay analyzes social status and queer geographies as framing referents that define how Monsiváis utilizes queer conceptually.
“The Romance of Water and Power ”
Authors: Leslie Stuart W.
Published: August 2017

From the publicity with which it opened the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1913 to the completion of its new headquarters on Bunker Hill in 1965, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) has employed architecture as advertising for image enhancement and to increase its sale of electricity and water. This study of selected DWP structures, 1924–1965, finds that the message of architectural boosterism can become obsolete before the buildings do. DWP’s architecture presents a complicated legacy and a challenge for the future.

Authors: Solórzano Morales Ántony , Castro Vásquez Ruth , Barboza Vargas Natalia , Hernández Jiménez Eduardo , W. Hammond Rosemarie , Ramírez Fonseca Pilar
Published: August 2017

The aim of this work was to detect plant infections caused by Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) and begomovirus in tomato plantlets, and in growing weeds around nursery greenhouses. During one year, starting in April 2008, 168 leaf tissue samples were collected, 90 tomato plantlets and 78 weeds from three different nurseries in Cartago province, Costa Rica. Reverse transcription and real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to determine that 18,9% of tomato plantlets and 7,7% of weeds were infected with ToCV virus. Begomoviruses were detected using Dot Blot hybridization and non-radioactive probe. Next, hybridization results were confirmed using Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA) followed by PCR, using universal primers. None tomato plantlet resulted positive when tested, but there were six weeds infected; in fact, Phytolacca icosandra and Brassica sp. were both coinfected with ToCV virus. These results suggest that ToCV infected tomato plantlets when commercialized, could serve as way of virus introduction to other country regions. Finally, weeds growing around greenhouses have shown to be potential viral sources of ToCV and begomovirus.
Evidence of Churches Aligned to the Sun on the Patron Saint’s Day in Southern Spain after the Twelfth Century
Authors: Abril José M.
Published: August 2017

This work studies the alignment of churches in southern Spain after the twelfth century. It merges the statistical analysis from a wide survey with the case study of Bujalance. In this area, the alignment of the parish churches of Our Lady of the Assumption and St Francis of Assisi (both from the early sixteenth century) accurately fit to the sunrise and sunset on their respective feast days. A systematic survey included all the parish churches with the two dedications above (N = 168 and 72, respectively), covering an area which roughly fits to the Muslim domain in the mid-twelfth century The measurement of their alignments allows an estimation of the continuous distribution of normalised frequency for each dedication. They show a major peak around the azimuths linked to the sunrise (Assumption) or sunset (St Francis) in their respective patronal festivals, as demonstrated by a detailed study of these churches.
Displacement and internal force control in cable-stayed bridges
Authors: Saeed Najmadeen Mohammed , Kwan Alan S. K.
Published: August 2017

Structural elements in cable-stayed bridge decks can undergo large deflections under load or may be required to control the internal forces of a specific cable. The displacement must be restored and/or the cable force must be controlled and limited according to the desired target. The control of nodal displacements and internal bar forces of cable-stayed bridge structures is presented theoretically and experimentally in this paper through the use of a relatively simple and direct method, which involves calculating the required length actuations within a single formulation. The technique of multi-iteration adjustment is also presented, which is an effective way of eliminating or minimising errors that can occur in the practical adjustment process.

Surgical management of vaginal agenesis using a modified Mc Indoe’s technique: VIMS experience
Authors: Tharihalli Chandrashekhar , V. Muralikrishna , C. Shiva Kumar H.
Published: August 2017

Background: Mullerian agenesis is a challenge to reconstructive surgeons. In order to create a new vagina that mimic the normal one in size, lining and appearance, multiple techniques have been designed; among these techniques Mc Indoe’s vaginoplasty represents the simplest one with good results. Mc Indoe’s operation which involves the creation of a space between bladder and rectum, insertion of a mould covered with split-thickness skin graft into that neo-vaginal space, and use of postoperative vaginal mould for dilation and to avoid stenosis. However, many modifications have been introduced in time in an attempt to increase the success rates. The purpose of vaginal agencies treatment is to create an adequate passage for penetration during sexual intercourse.Methods: Between Jan 2010 to June 2017, ten patients with vaginal agenesis were admitted to Dept of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, VIMS Ballari for vaginal reconstruction. All cases underwent a modified Mc Indoe’s technique, and follow up was done for one year.Results: All ten cases of vaginal agenesis underwent vaginal reconstruction by modified Mc Indoe's technique. Post-operative vaginal length varied from 5 to 7 cm in patients who used mould regularly. Successful skin graft take was achieved in 6 cases. one case of perforation of rectum and one case of vaginal stricture was noted.Conclusions: To optimize sexual comfort, the clinical management of women with vaginal agenesis must be multidisciplinary and individually tailored. Our findings suggest that the modified Mc Indoe’s technique is a simple, effective procedure for the treatment of vaginal agenesis, but proper mould usage after surgery remains the cornerstone of the treatment.

Emotion Regulation in Chronic Disease Populations: An Integrative Review
Authors: Wierenga Kelly L. , Lehto Rebecca H. , Given Barbara
Published: August 2017

Background and Purpose: Emotion regulation, the experiencing, processing, and modulating of emotional response, is necessary to manage the emotional stressors common in patients with chronic illness. Overwhelming emotional demands deplete the resources needed for everyday self-care management of chronic disease, contributing to poor health outcomes. Emotion regulation is shown to impact behaviors in healthy individuals; yet, a review of literature examining evidence of associations in chronically ill populations is lacking. The purpose of this article is to examine the state of the science relative to the impact of emotion regulation on health outcomes in chronic illness populations. Methods: Articles were reviewed (N = 14) that focused on emotion regulation and outcomes of patients with chronic illness. Results: Indicate that most of the studies focused on these concepts are cross-sectional and measure emotion regulation using various surveys. Potential relationships exist with increased age, male gender, higher education, decreased stress, depressive, and anxiety symptoms being associated with more adaptive emotion regulation. Of primary importance to patients with chronic illnesses is the potential link between greater difficulties with emotion regulation and the presence of chronic disease as well as poorer physical function. Implications for Practice: Care should include attention to affective regulation as well as physiologic responses of chronic illness.
Tempo, aspecto e modo em Boróro
Authors: Viana Adriana Maria Soares
Published: August 2017

Este trabalho inicia uma discussão sobre a análise dos morfemas que expressam tempo, aspecto e modo na língua Boróro, tratados como sufixos por Crowell (1979). Apresentamos algumas evidências que questionam essa análise e levam a uma outra perspectiva, que considera esses elementos não como sufixos, mas como clíticos. O principal argumento em favor dessa análise é o fato de esses elementos não selecionarem de maneira rígida as categorias gramaticais às quais se ligam, podendo estar ligados a nomes, a verbos, a pronomes e ao que Crowell chama de adjetivos. Outro argumento é o fato de a relação que tais elementos estabelecem com as raízes a que se ligam ser de natureza mais sintática que morfológica.
A crença no Dilúvio: campo e teoria na evolução da paisagem antes da geomorfologia
Authors: Montgomery David
Published: August 2017

As opiniões sobre a origem do relevo terrestre têm sido marcadas pela fronteira entre ciência e religião. A criação do mundo que conhecemos é central para as visões religiosas e seculares do mundo; e até recentemente o poder de moldar as paisagens foi além do alcance dos mortais, atraindo especulações como as relacionadas ao papel da intervenção divina. Por séculos, o pensamento racional cristão questionou-se sobre a origem da superfície terrestre levando em consideração o Dilúvio de Noé que deu origem a montanhas e vales. Somente quando os geólogos aprenderam como decifrar a história da Terra e os sinais dos processos que moldaram a topografia terrestre é que, de fato, os naturalistas alcançaram uma compreensão das forças que moldaram o mundo. Nesse sentido, as raízes históricas da geomorfologia encontram-se na tensão entre a fé nas teorias e o poder de persuasão das observações de campo – questões que permanecem importantes à prática geomorfológica hoje em dia.

Analysis of a Regional Scale Chemical-Transport Model to Investigate the Potential Capability of Satellites for Identifying a Widespread Air Pollution Event
Authors: Welsh Jason , Fishman Jack
Published: August 2017

We use a regional scale photochemical transport model to investigate the surface concentrations and column integrated amounts of ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) during a pollution event that occurred in the St. Louis metropolitan region in 2012. These trace gases will be two of the primary constituents that will be measured by TEMPO, an instrument on a geostationary platform, which will result in a dataset that has hourly temporal resolution during the daytime and ~4 km spatial resolution. Although air quality managers are most concerned with surface concentrations, satellite measurements provide a quantity that reflects a column amount, which may or may not be directly relatable to what is measured at the surface. The model results provide good agreement with observed surface O3 concentrations, which is the only trace gas dataset that can be used for verification. The model shows that a plume of O3 extends downwind from St. Louis and contains an integrated amount of ozone of ~ 16 DU (1 DU = 2.69 x 1016 mol. cm-2), a quantity that is two to three times lower than what was observed by satellite measurements during two massive pollution episodes in the 1980s. Based on the smaller isolatable emissions coming from St. Louis, this quantity is not unreasonable, but may also reflect the reduction of photochemical ozone production due to the implementation of emission controls that have gone into effect in the past few decades.
Comparative Framework Linking Some Capabilities of Small Array Dispositions of Generic Points Absorbers
Authors: Baños Hernandez Lorenzo
Published: August 2017

This thesis completion works it out to deepen into diverse modeling techniques for Point Absorbers. A combined frequency-time domain model is conceived, designed and developed in Matlab with Fortran as a base, leading to obtain physical variables of primary importance, namely position, velocity and power to energy net balance relationships of absorption. Integration of different degrees of freedom with heave as main executable leads in turn to a single buoy motion focus. Acquisition of the needed hydrodynamic coefficients is provided through application of NEMOH \& BEMIO solvers due to the Boundary Element Methodology. Initially, this Wave-to-motion model is validated by comparison with previous experimental results for a floating cone cylinder shape (Buldra-FO3). A single, generic, vertical floating cylinder is contemplated then, that responds to the action of the passing regular waves excitation. Later, two equally sized vertical floating cylinders aligned with the incident wave direction are modeled for a variable distance between the bodies. For both unidirectional regular and irregular waves as an input in deep water, we approximate the convolutive radiation force function term through the Prony method. By changing the spatial disposition of the axisymmetric buoys, using for instance triangular or rectangular shaped arrays of three and four bodies respectively, the study delves into motion characteristics for regular waves. The results highlight efficient layouts for maximizing the energy production whilst providing important insights into their performance, revealing displacement amplification- and capture width-ratios, while deriving in possible interpretations of scenarios related to the the known park effect. These terms are encompassed by the novelty of a new conceptual Post-Processing methodology in the field, which leads to obtain an optimal distance for the separated bodies with effective energy absorption in a regular wave regime. In conclusion, this computational excursion envisions and proposes potential fields of study, which will surely enhance new connections and link this renewable energy form.

Background:

The long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes following coracoclavicular (CC) ligament reconstruction for the operative treatment of acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation remain uncertain. The purpose of the present study was to determine the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of CC ligament reconstruction and to identify risk factors for unfavorable outcomes.

Methods:

We reviewed 20 cases of AC joint dislocation in 19 patients (18 male and 1 female; mean age, 32.3 years) that were treated with single-bundle reconstruction. The mean duration of follow-up was 12.7 years. We measured the CC vertical distance (CCD) on the anteroposterior view and compared the affected and unaffected sides (CCD ratio). We divided the patients into those with a CCD ratio of <25% (Group 1) and those with a CCD ratio of ≥25% (Group 2). We radiographically investigated the clavicular tunnel anteroposterior (CTAP) angle, clavicular tunnel ratio, and coracoid tunnel orientation on the basis of the entry and exit points at the base of the coracoid. For the coracoid tunnel orientation, we compared center-center orientation and noncenter-center orientation.

Results:

Group 1 comprised 17 cases (85%), and Group 2 comprised 3 cases (15%). At the time of the latest follow-up, Group 1 had a significantly higher mean Constant score than Group 2 (98.2 compared with 90.7; p = 0.038). Of the 3 radiographic parameters, only the CTAP angle was significantly different between the 2 groups (p < 0.0001). Two (67%) of the 3 cases in Group 2 were associated with posterior AC joint displacement.

Conclusions:

CC ligament reconstruction for the treatment of acute AC joint dislocation resulted in successful long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes. It is important to decrease the CTAP angle and to ensure proper anatomic placement of the clavicular and coracoid tunnels at the time of surgery.

Level of Evidence:

Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Optimization of Rock-Bit Life Based on Bearing Failure Criteria
Authors: Fear M. J. , Thorogood J. L. , Whelehan O. P. , Williamson H. S.
Published: August 2017

Recent advances in rock bit seal technology have allowed greater predictability of bearing life. Cone loss following bearing failure incurs costs related to remedial activities. A risk analysis approach, utilising bearing life relationships and the inter-dependence of drilling events, is used to formulate a bit run cost optimisation method. The procedure enables a choice to be made between elastomeric and metal seals on a lowest replacement cost basis. The technique also provides a formal method for assessing the opportunity cost for employing a device for the downhole detection of bit bearing failures.
Heritability and Genetic Variance Components Associated with Citrulline, Arginine, and Lycopene Content in Diverse Watermelon Cultigens
Authors: Wehner Todd C. , Naegele Rachel P. , Perkins-Veazie Penelope
Published: August 2017

Citrulline, arginine, and lycopene are naturally occurring compounds found in watermelon, Citrullus lanatus (Thumb) Matsum & Nakai, with beneficial effects on plant growth and human health. This study evaluated seven commercial cultivars and one breeding line for citrulline, arginine, and lycopene content in mature fruit grown at two locations in North Carolina. Correlations among these compounds and fruit quality traits (percent soluble solids and flesh pH) were evaluated. Watermelon cultigens evaluated were chosen for their fruit trait diversity. ‘Yellow Doll’ and NC-517 possessed the highest citrulline and combined concentration of citrulline and arginine of all cultigens evaluated. Lycopene content was highest in ‘Dixielee’, followed by ‘Sugar Baby’, and ‘Allsweet’, each of which have different shades of red flesh color. Location and its interaction with genotype had no significant effect on arginine or lycopene concentration. Broad-sense heritability was estimated for each trait. Arginine content (89%) and lycopene content (99%) had very high heritability. Citrulline content (41%), percent soluble solids (46%), and flesh pH (61%) had moderate heritability. Lycopene was positively correlated with flesh pH (r = 0.517) and negatively correlated with percent soluble solids (r = −0.344). Arginine content had a weak negative correlation with flesh pH (r = −0.343) and was not correlated with percent soluble solids.
