Uncovering the Anatomy of Search Without Technology
Authors: Wulff Dirk U. , Hertwig Ralph
Published: October 2018

This chapter is a somewhat odd addition in a Handbook of Process-Tracing Methods. We will not revel at the ever growing and ever more sophisticated methods to trace processes nor will we conceive of still another technology. Nevertheless, our concern will be with “information search prior to choice”—the object of desire of what Schulte-Mecklenbeck et al. (2017) called “movement-based (process tracing) such as computer-based information boards, eye tracking, joystick and slider bar, mouse tracking or the tracking of reaching pointing” (p. 443). Our starting point is this observation: Process-tracing methods often focus on cognitive tasks that in themselves are devoid of an explicit and extended episode of search, thus requiring sophisticated technologies and efforts to look through this dimly lit and small window of search. This chapter will be concerned with a very different way, requiring much less engineering, of laying bare the anatomy of the search process, and in fact, giving search a leading role in behavioral experiments and theories of choice. The cognitive task that we focus on is risky choice, still one of the most important domains for studying the way humans make decisions. Since the early 2000s research on risky choice has (again) begun to study experiential-based paradigms (for a review see, Wulff, Mergenthaler Canseco, & Hertwig, 2018)—often in parallel with description-based paradigms. In the experiential paradigms, the search process and its major defining properties—that is, for instance, amount of search and the search policy—unfolds for everyone to see. Experiential paradigms in risky choice and many other lines of research, according to our key argument, represent an alternative to the use of sophisticated process-tracing technologies and auxiliary assumptions necessary to lift the veil and to understand the processes preceding choice.
Tuning the Inner Radio: The Mental Control of Musical Imagery in Everyday Environments
Authors: Cotter Katherine N. , Silvia Paul
Published: October 2018

How easily can people tune their inner radio? Musical imagery—hearing music in your mind—is common and complex, but little is known about people’s ability to control their musical imagery in daily life. A recent model proposed by Cotter, Christensen, and Silvia distinguishes between initiation (starting musical imagery) vs. management (modifying, stopping, or sustaining musical imagery) as distinct facets of control, and the present research examined people’s ability to use the two forms of control in daily life. A sample of students (29 music students, 29 non-music students) participated in an experience-sampling study. For seven days, people were signaled 10 times a day and asked to initiate musical imagery and perform manipulations to initiated and ongoing imagery (e.g., increasing the tempo, changing the gender of a vocalist). When asked, people reported exerting control over the initiation and management of their musical imagery most of the time. As expected, music students reported controlling their musical imagery more often and more easily. This work suggests that people’s control over their musical imagery is stronger and more flexible than prior work implies.

Published: October 2018

Background: Researchers, practitioners and policymakers develop interventions to change behavior based on their understanding of how behavior change techniques (BCTs) impact the determinants of behavior. A transparent, systematic and accessible method of linking BCTs with the processes through which they change behavior (i.e. their mechanisms of action (MoAs)) would advance understanding of intervention effects, and improve theory and intervention development. Purpose: To triangulate evidence for hypothesized BCT-MoA links obtained in two previous studies and present the results in an interactive, online tool.Methods: Two previous studies generated evidence on links between 56 BCTs and 26 MoAs based on their frequency in literature synthesis and on expert consensus. Concordance between the findings of the two studies was examined using multilevel modelling. Uncertainties and differences between the two studies were reconciled by 16 behavior change experts using consensus development methods. The resulting evidence was used to generate an online tool.Results: The two studies showed concordance for 25 of the 26 MoAs and agreement for 37 links and for 460 ‘non-links’. A further 55 links were resolved by consensus (total of 92 (37+55) hypothesized BCT-MoA links). Full data on 1456 possible links was incorporated into the online interactive Theory and Technique Tool (url link removed for anonymity peer-review).Conclusions: This triangulation of two distinct sources of evidence provides guidance on how BCTs may affect the mechanisms that change behavior and is available as a resource for behavior change intervention designers, researchers and theorists, supporting intervention design, research synthesis, and collaborative research

Authors: Real Md. Khalid Hassan , Mia Md. Younus , Kumar Utpol , Khanam Natasha
Published: October 2018

The present study investigated the land type based seasonal status of agricultural topsoil chemical properties at Bagerhat district, Bangladesh. Because of relief and seasonal effect we hypothesized the changes of soil nutrient and chemical properties in topsoil. Composite soil samples were collected from fifteen purposive sampling points in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon period of 2016-2017. Soil digestion and analysis were performed following standard procedures. Topsoil pH was strongly alkaline to slightly alkaline (8.02-7.85) in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon with a significant variation. Seasonal OM status was below the optimum level (<3.4). Mean salinity status was very slightly saline in both seasons. Total nitrogen status was low in different lands in both seasons. Phosphorus status was very low (<0.06µg/g) in post-monsoon for upland and wetland crops. Sulfur status was very high (>45.0µg/g) in both seasons for upland and wetland crops. Seasonal mean status of B, Ca and Mg was very high in different lands. Status of Zinc was medium in both seasons having a deficiency (<9.0 µg/g) in some lands. Multivariate analysis showed that lowlands were rich in salinity, OM, K, Ca, total nitrogen and S comparing with medium lowland and medium highland (LL>MLL>MHL). Considering the above issues present study suggests to avoiding excessive use of chemical fertilizer and encourages organic fertilizer for sustainable management of these agricultural lands.
Comportamiento de pecoreo de las abejas melíferas en manzanos de las variedades Cripps Pink y Red Chief
Authors: Santos Estela , Invernizzi Ciro
Published: October 2018

La producción de manzanas de calidad depende fuertemente de una efectiva polinización. Las abejas melíferas son el principal insecto polinizador de los manzanos. Sin embargo, durante las visitas a las flores las abejas pueden abordarlas desde arriba entrando en contacto con las anteras o por el costado posándose sobre los pétalos, siendo la primera forma la que logra una mejor polinización. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el comportamiento de las abejas melíferas mientras visitan las flores de los manzanos de las variedades Cripps Pink y Red Chief. En ambos cultivos se observó que las abejas prefieren colectar polen en la mañana y néctar en la tarde. Mientras las abejas que colectaban solo néctar o que colectaban polen y néctar abordaban las flores por arriba o por el costado, las abejas que colectaban sólo polen accedían a la flor principalmente desde arriba. Algunas abejas durante el vuelo de pecoreo abordaban las flores únicamente por arriba o por el costado (abordajes constantes), mientras que otras podían cambiar entre ambas formas (abordajes no constantes), siendo las que colectaban sólo polen las que presentaron más vuelos constantes. El 37 % del total de abejas observadas abordó las flores por el costado aportando probablemente muy poco a la polinización. Un manejo de las colmenas que incrementara el número de abejas que colecta polen (por ejemplo agregando panales con huevos y larvas o retirando reservas de polen) mejoraría la polinización de los manzanos.

Authors: Innes Kim E. , Selfe Terry Kit , Brundage Kathleen , Montgomery Caitlin , Wen Sijin , Kandati Sahiti , Bowles Hannah , Khalsa Dharma Singh , Huysmans Zenzi
Published: October 2018

Background:

Telomere length (TL), telomerase activity (TA), and plasma amyloid-β (Aβ) levels have emerged as possible predictors of cognitive decline and dementia.

Objective:

To assess the: 1) effects of two 12-week relaxation programs on TL, TA, and Aβ levels in adults with subjective cognitive decline; and 2) relationship of biomarker changes to those in cognitive function, psychosocial status, and quality of life (QOL).

Methods:

Participants were randomized to a 12-week Kirtan Kriya meditation (KK) or music listening (ML) program and asked to practice 12 minutes/day. Plasma Aβ(38/40/42) and peripheral blood mononuclear cell TL and TA were measured at baseline and 3 months. Cognition, stress, sleep, mood, and QOL were assessed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.

Results:

Baseline blood samples were available for 53 participants (25 KK, 28 ML). The KK group showed significantly greater increases in Aβ40 than the ML group. TA rose in both groups, although increases were significant only among those with higher practice adherence and lower baseline TA. Changes in both TL and TA varied by their baseline values, with greater increases among participants with values ≤50th percentile ( ps-interaction <0.006). Both groups improved in cognitive and psychosocial status ( ps ≤0.05), with improvements in stress, mood, and QOL greater in the KK group. Rising Aβ levels were correlated with gains in cognitive function, mood, sleep, and QOL at both 3 and 6 months, associations that were particularly pronounced in the KK group. Increases in TL and TA were also correlated with improvements in certain cognitive and psychosocial measures.

Conclusion:

Practice of simple mind-body therapies may alter plasma Aβ levels, TL, and TA. Biomarker increases were associated with improvements in cognitive function, sleep, mood, and QOL, suggesting potential functional relationships.
Fracture control and structural integrity (FraCSI) education and research
Authors: Saxena Ashok
Published: October 2018

Over the past six decades, fracture research has evolved into a coherent interdisciplinary field of research and education motivated by the need for structural integrity assurance and safe operation of components that are part of air, ground and water transportation systems and power generation systems. This paper explores opportunities and challenges that lie ahead and a strategy for meeting them. The design, material selection and choice of inspection techniques, inspection criteria and intervals are seldom considered concurrently leading to designs that often take more time from start to finish than afforded by product design cycle times particularly when new and innovative materials are involved in a competitive market place. This need must be addressed with a systematic approach to educating fracture control and structural Integrity (FraCSI) engineers; this paper explores this need and the case for shaping the field into an even more cohesive discipline.
The fracture of thermosetting epoxy polymers containing silica nanoparticles
Authors: Guild F.J. , Kinloch A.J. , Masania K. , Sprenger S. , Taylor A.C.
Published: October 2018

An epoxy resin, cured with an anhydride, has been modified by the addition of silica nanoparticles. The particles were introduced via a sol–gel technique which gave a very well dispersed phase of nanosilica particles, which were about 20 nm in diameter, in the thermosetting epoxy polymer matrix. The glass transition temperature of the epoxy polymer was unchanged by the addition of the nanoparticles, but both the modulus and toughness were increased. The fracture energy increased from 77 J/m2 for the unmodified epoxy to 212 J/m2 for the epoxy polymer containing 20 wt.% of nanosilica. The fracture surfaces were inspected using scanning electron and atomic force microscopy, and these microscopy studies showed that the silica nanoparticles (a) initiated localised plastic shear-yield deformation bands in the epoxy polymer matrix and (b) debonded and allowed subsequent plastic void-growth of the epoxy polymer matrix. A theoretical model for these toughening micromechanisms has been proposed to confirm that these micromechanisms were indeed responsible for the increased toughness that was observed due to the presence of the silica nanoparticles in the epoxy polymer.

Design and Installation of Controlled Drip Irrigation System
Authors: Soomro Aeeman , Hussain Tanweer , Daudpota Wali Muhammad
Published: October 2018

Globally, agriculture sector uses major share of available freshwater. Pakistan is an agricultural country and its major economy depends upon the agriculture sector. In Pakistan, freshwater sacristy rate is increasing due to poor sanitation and water management system, increase in population and food demands, and use of fresh water flood irrigation system to irrigate the agricultural land. This ultimately poses harmful effect on the economy of country. About 73% of freshwater resource is consumed for the irrigation purpose in Pakistan. The increase in population and the food demand is an impetus to adopt drip irrigation system at large in the country. In such a scenario, controlled drip irrigation system serves the suitable technique to limit the water supplied to the crops at regular interval for agriculture, and replaces the flood irrigation system. Besides ordinary drip irrigation system, the controlled drip irrigation system monitors and controls the soil moisture and temperature of the crops using sensors and actuators. This study is aimed at designing and installation of controlled drip irrigation system for crop fields at Nasarpur, Sindh, Pakistan. It was expected that agricultural sector will become more productive by effectively using the fresh water resources. The study has shown that converting conventional irrigation into controlled drip irrigation has saved freshwater to a greater extent and marginal excessive use energy used in pumping and the control system. On the other hand it has also minimized the energy usage for pumping fresh water through large tube wells.

Abstract 

Introduction : P. Vivax has been refered as pathological factor underlying increasing prevalences of haematological abnormality including anemia and thrombocytopenia. Through the day, exact mechanism of thrombocytopenia in malaria infection has yet come to a conclusion, several hypothesis are still in considered, phagocytosis and platelets aggregation remain the major disscussion topics. G-CSF, cytocine with elevated serum quantity in P. Vivax infections, were responsible in increasing phagoctytosis and conducting direct effect on platelets aggregation using adequate ADP. Increasing number of ADP in malaria cases were correlated with erythrocyte haemolitic, leading to increasing platelets aggregation. Although numerous hypothesis has been compelled, only a-few research publication has been made corresponding to G-CSF serum level on malaria P. Vivax infection and its correlations to thrombocytopenic events.

Aim of study : To analyze the relations between G-CSF serum levels and parasite numbers towards platelets profile in infected malaria P. Vivax patients.

Methods : Study design using Prospective analysis. Thirty six patients with single infection of Malaria Vivax in Puskesmas Sukamaju (Primary Heath Care Centre) and Puskesmas Kota Karang were assessed for G-CSF plasma levels, platelet counts, and MPV. Data analysis were conducted using Spearman correlation methods with SPSS.

Results : Study results showing significant correlation between G-CSF serum levels towards Platelet conts (R = -0,397(p = 0,016)), without significant correlation between G-CSF and MPV value (p = 0,874)

Conclusion : G-CSF serum levels were related with thrombocytopenia, with no correlation towards MPV.

Published: October 2018

Genetic diversity in thirty eight traditional rapeseed genotypes was studied under favorable condition through Mahalanobis D2 statistic for yield and yield contributing characters. The genotypes were grouped into five clusters. The inter-cluster distances were higher than intracluster distances indicating wider genetic diversity among the clusters. The intra-cluster distances were lower in all the cases reflecting homogeneity of the genotypes within the clusters. Among the different cluster the genotypes of the cluster IV, III and I included were taller plant. The genotypes in the cluster III and IV had large size raceme. The genotypes in the cluster IV, III and V exhibited comparatively higher number of siliqua per raceme. Longer siliqua was noticed for the genotypes in the cluster III, IV and I. Higher number of seeds per siliqua noticed in clusters I, II and III. The genotypes of the cluster I and II produced bold size seed. The genotypes in the cluster V and I had high harvest index. The genotypes of the cluster III and I produced high seed yield per plant. Among the different cluster, the cluster III included the genotypes which had high yield, higher number of seeds per siliqua, longer siliqua, siliqua number per raceme and high plant height. Moreover these cluster displayed wide divergence with the genotypes of cluster V. The genotypes of the cluster V had the highest harvest index therefore selection of the parental material for crossing program for improvement of yield in rapeseed is suggested from these two clusters.

Stability analysis helps in understanding the adaptability of genotypes over different environmental conditions and the identification of adaptable genotypes. The experiment was conducted at the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) areas of Bangladesh i.e. Bandarban, Rangamati and Khagrachari during May to September 2014 to study the genotype environment interaction effect on yield of some selected hill cotton genotypes. The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A: Location (3 locations) - L1: Bandarban; L2: Rangamati and L3: Khagrachari; Factor B: Different cotton genotypes G1: HCG-4; G2: HCG-13, G3: HCG-15, G4: HCG-21, G5: HCG-26, G6: HCG-42, G7: HCG-51 and V8: HC-1 (Check).  In case of location environment, the maximum boll per plant was recorded from Bandarban (19.13). The highest single boll weight was recorded from Bandarban (4.65 g). The highest seed cotton yield per hectare was recorded from Bandarban (1825 kg). The highest lint yield per hectare was recorded from Khagrachari (809 kg). For genotypes, maximum boll per plant (24.61), single boll weight (5.18 g), seed cotton yield per hectare (2170 kg) and lint yield per hectare (927 kg) was observed in HCG-13. In case of interaction of environments and genotypes, highest boll per plant (27.03), single ball weight (5.29 g), seed cotton yield per hectare (2170 kg), lint yield per hectare (981 kg) was observed in HCG-13 at Bandarban than the Rangamati and Khagrachari. Based on performance of eight genotypes HCG-13 followed by HCG-21 and HCG -42 was found to be highest yielder.Genotype HCG-13 was found highest yielder than the other genotypes and showed better performance at Bandarban than the Rangamati and Khagrachari.
Impossible Returns: The Trope of the Soldier in Celia de Fréine's Poetry
Authors: González-Arias Luz Mar
Published: October 2018

This essay looks at the representation of soldiers in the poetry of Celia de Fréine, in particular focusing on the moment of homecoming. The poems studied are not tied to any recognizable historical, geographical, or mythological background; instead, warfare is presented as timeless. In this way de Fréine's soldiers contribute to international debates on the trials of militarized masculinity beyond the national frontiers of Irish history. However, these soldier poems are studied here in the context of Ulysses' return to Ithaca after twenty years away. As psychiatrist Jonathan Shay contends, the challenges that going back home posed for Ulysses parallel the difficulties encountered by modern and contemporary soldiers in the aftermath of war, namely post traumatic stress disorder and demonstrations of extreme violence against women. De Fréine's soldiers are also profoundly damaged by war and, like Ulysses, they find readjustment to civilian life challenging. The Odyssey provides a fruitful interpretative framework for these poems since both Homer and de Fréine are asking a fundamental question – is it possible to return, or truly be at home again, after the experience of war.
Choreographies of Place: Gender and the Negotiation of Urban and Suburban Landscapes in Maeve Brennan's Fiction
Authors: NicGhabhann Niamh
Published: October 2018

This essay explores the representation of public space in The Visitor and The Springs of Affection: Stories of Dublin by Maeve Brennan. In particular, it explores Brennan's representation of the negotiation of urban and suburban public space by women and girls. In order to define and describe the movement of bodies within Brennan's stories, the concept of ‘choreographies of place’ is used, placing the emphasis on physical experience, and on the fictional representation of these experiences by Brennan in her work. In reading Brennan's stories and novella as a source for an expanded understanding of the lived experience of Dublin city by women and girls, this essay draws upon the critical insights of both literary studies and urban theory.
Cultural Economy for the Environmental Preservation of the Landscape as a Key Resource in Historic Territories
Authors: Pilotti Luciano
Published: October 2018

Sustainable production besides economic, energetic, and environmental aspects should consider social and cultural features of the territory in which it relies. This occurs above all for agriculture that is intrinsically related to the territory. Today, the territory as a landscape represents a complex eco-system (subjects, communities, traditions, cultures, and specific agricultural systems) and a valuable vehicle for art and history and it is also a strategic asset to defend and promote with environmental policies. The topic of urban preservation and regeneration has been increasing by opening up to other factors such as the engagement of local communities and the contribution they can give toward the development of the identity and the symbolic universe of every community especially for historic territories. The main research question of this study is: Can historic territories be described as the landscape of a complex eco-system able to support a new cultural policy? In addition, which type of connections between physical resources and the virtual-cultural ones of that landscape are strategic assets for promoting historic territories? This theoretical manuscript is oriented toward improving territorial policies. In more details, it tries to develop a new model to reach a “global community of creativity” as a bridge between the networks of historic territories, which is meant as roots of variety to transfer to future generations, and between local and global quality in an emergent landscape. In order to reach this new model, the local community and ecosystem capabilities require a multi-level connection among both art, science, and culture as well as nature, technology, and civic capability. The result is that the new model is able to share common goods, which are both internal and external. Following this path, it is urgent to develop policies in an emergent perspective that are able to combine artistic, ecological, environmental, and cultural assets. In particular, the goals are to: (i) explore the complex value of territorial contexts that develop/evolve from both a medium-term and long-term point of view that is not described by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) standard indicators, (ii) reach the suggestion of a continuous re-articulation of sectors of knowledge proposed by cultural resources, and (iii) highlight that cultural marketing is involved in the interpretation and transmission within a large network of participants, users, institutions, markets, virtual, and territorial places. The starting point is identified as the landscape of historic territory, but an important achievement will be to transfer the main results to other territories by studying specific case histories of urban and non-urban landscapes.
Magnetic Field Extraction Techniques in Preparing High-Quality Tea Infusions
Authors: Tarapatskyy Maria , Zaguła Grzegorz , Bajcar Marcin , Puchalski Czesław , Saletnik Bogdan
Published: October 2018

Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world, commonly consumed by consumers from all age groups mainly due to its refreshing taste, attractive aroma, and potentially beneficial impact on health. The composition of a tea drink depends on numerous factors, such as time and brewing temperature, degree of crumbling of tea leaves, and degree of mixing. Diffusion of the polyphenolic compounds, minerals, caffeine or theanine typical of tea infusions have been the subject of studies conducted by numerous authors. Promoting the extraction of amino acids from tea leaves when preparing infusions through the induction of a magnetic field constitutes not only another step towards the optimisation of the extraction process, but is also one of the methods to improve the nutritional value of tea infusions. The purpose of this work was to verify a hypothesis concerning the improvement of the extraction of amino acids from dried tea during the preparation of infusions by applying a permanent or variable magnetic field induced under laboratory conditions. A variable magnetic field applied as a factor assisting extraction resulted in an increased concentration in the total number of amino acids in green and black tea infusions. A statistically significant improvement in the level of free amino acids was observed after application of extraction assisted by a variable magnetic field with induction at 100 mT and a frequency of 50 Hz. Extraction using a variable magnetic field for tea infusions may constitute a good solution to assist traditional water extraction methods for research purposes.
