Bomarea rinconii (Alstroemeriaceae), a new species from the Talamanca Mountains in Chiriqui Province, Panama
Authors: GONZÁLEZ DANIEL ADOLFO  CÁCERES
Published: May 2013

Bomarea Mirbel (1804: 71; Alstroemeriaceae) includes 122 species (Govaerts 2013) and is divided into four subgenera (Hofreiter & Tillich 2002): Baccata (five species), Bomarea (ca. seventy species), Sphaerine(twelve species) and Wichuraea (eighteen species). Bomarea is distributed from Mexico and the Greater Antilles to southern South America (Gereau 1994). The centre of distribution of the genus is along the Andes from Colombia to Bolivia (Hofreiter 2008).

Pinnotheres orcutti Rathbun, 1918, a new Eastern Tropical Pacific species of Tumidotheres Campos, 1989 (Crustacea: Brachyura: Pinnotheridae)
Authors: CAMPOS ERNESTO , VARGAS-CASTILLO RITA
Published: May 2013

The lack of a protuberance in the basal antennal article in the holotype of Pinnotheres orcutti Rathbun, 1918, allows its removal from Pinnotheres Bosc, 1802 [type species, P. pisum (Linnaeus, 1767)]. The species is instead included in Tumi-dotheres Campos, 1989, because of the presence of a thick, tumid and firm carapace, and its surface covered with a short, dense, and deciduous tomentum; the third maxilliped having a propodus larger than the carpus; and the presence of a sub-spatulate dactylus of the third maxilliped medially inserted into a notch on the ventral margin of the propodus. Tumidoth-eres orcutti new combination can be separated from its sole Pacific Ocean congener, T. margarita Smith, 1870, by its unique dentition on the inner margin of the cheliped pollex, which is armed with a blunt proximal lobe and a row of small teeth, the two distal teeth being conspicuously the largest. In contrast, the pollex dentition of T. margarita consists of very small teeth, all similar in size.
Morphology of preimaginal stages and taxonomical relationship of Synanthedon spuleri (Fuchs, 1908) (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) with closely related species in Central Europe
Authors: BĄKOWSKI MAREK
Published: May 2013

The egg, last larval instar, and pupa of Synanthedon spuleri Fuchs are described and illustrated. In Central Europe there is a group of four closely related species including S. spuleri, S. tipuliformis Clerck, S. loranthi Králíček, and S. cephiformis Ochsenheimer. Thus far S. spuleri has been classified as closely related to S. tipuliformis. However, the results of molecular analyses and partly studies of the morphology of the preimaginal stages indicate that S. spuleri is more closely related to S. cephiformis than to S. tipuliformis. In terms of the response of males to similar attractants it appears that S. spuleri is more closely related to S. tipuliformis; however, further research needs to be conducted in this respect.

Four new species are described: Neohemigaster angustifrons sp.n. from Vietnam, Neohemigaster antropovi sp.n. from the Russian Far East, Neohemigaster tetralineata sp.n. from Taiwan and Pterogenia tenebrica sp.n. from Taiwan. In addition to Neohemigaster ussurica (Korneyev, 2001), six species formerly assigned to Pterogenia are transferred to Neohemi-gaster: Neohemigaster eurysterna (Hendel, 1914) comb. nov., Neohemigaster flavopicta (Hennig, 1940) comb. nov., Neohemigaster minuspicta (Hennig, 1940) comb. nov., Neohemigaster monticola (Frey, 1964) comb. nov., Neohemi-gaster ornata (Hennig, 1940) comb. nov., and Neohemigaster rectivena (Enderlein, 1924) comb. nov. A preliminary list of diagnostic characters separating the genera Pterogenia and Neohemigaster is compiled. A key to species of Pterogenia and Neohemigaster, known from Far East Russia, Japan, China, Taiwan, Vietnam and Burma, is provided.
Election Boycotts and Hybrid Regime Survival
Authors: Smith Ian O.
Published: May 2013

Despite the frequent occurrence of election boycotts, there are few studies available in the scholarly literature concerning their effectiveness, particularly as a strategy of opposition parties seeking to bring about the end of electoral authoritarian governments. This article uses an original data set with global coverage of hybrid regimes from 1981 to 2006, and uses event-history analysis to determine the efficacy of boycotts in national elections among other risk factors thought to undermine hybrid regimes. This article also takes a preliminary look at democratization outcomes following boycotted and contested elections in hybrid regimes. The core findings are that boycotts hasten the electoral defeat of hybrid regimes without much risk of destabilizing the electoral process, but ultimately do not lead to increased competition in successor regimes.
Political Liabilities
Authors: Crespo-Tenorio Adriana , Jensen Nathan M. , Rosas Guillermo
Published: May 2013

Little is known about the political repercussions of banking crises despite the extensive literature on the link between economic performance and political outcomes. We develop a theory of how clarity of responsibility affects incumbent party survival patterns in 89 democracies between 1975 and 2005. Our results are robust to modeling strategies that include hazard models with shared frailties to account for country-specific factors that affect incumbent survival. We find that globalization weakens the accountability link between politicians and voters. Incumbents in countries with open capital accounts are much more likely to survive a banking crisis than incumbents in closed economies. We do not find conclusive evidence that divided governments or those with multiple veto players enjoy higher survival rates after banking crises; in fact, the opposite seems to be true. We conclude with a discussion of the paradoxical relationship that openness brings to incumbents: greater exposure to foreign shocks and reduced electoral punishment for banking crises.
Turning a Blind Eye
Authors: Anduiza Eva , Gallego Aina , Muñoz Jordi
Published: May 2013

This article considers how partisanship conditions attitudes toward corruption. Stirred by the puzzle of why corruption does not seem to have the electoral consequences we would expect, it explores whether party supporters are more tolerant toward corruption cases when they affect their own party. The partisan-bias hypothesis is confirmed by a survey experiment carried out in Spain, a country where a number of corruption scandals have been recently visible. The results show that the same offense is judged differently depending on whether the responsible politician is a member of the respondent’s party, of unknown partisan affiliation, or of a rival party. Furthermore, the degree of partisan bias depends on political sophistication. This suggests that although partisanship may induce tolerance to same-party corruption practices, the partisan bias disappears when political awareness is high.
Disaster studies
Authors: Lindell Michael K
Published: May 2013

Disaster studies address the social and behavioral aspects of sudden onset collective stress situations typically referred to as mass emergencies or disasters. These situations can be created by natural hazards, technological accidents, violent intergroup conflicts, shortages of vital resources, and other major hazards to life, health, property, well-being, and everyday routines. Disaster studies address the impacts of these events on all social units ranging from individuals and households to nation-states. All aspects of the life history of such events, both actual and threatened, are examined in terms of the ways in which populations at risk conduct hazard and vulnerability analyses as well as plan and implement mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery actions.
First-Year Urban Mathematics and Science Middle School Teachers
Authors: Kelly Angela M. , Gningue Serigne M. , Qian Gaoyin
Published: May 2013

This study explored the challenges facing 1st-year alternatively certified teachers of mathematics and science in urban middle schools. Four teachers, participants in a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Robert Noyce Scholarship Program, were followed from preservice training through their 1st year of teaching, having taken part in innovative coursework, workshops, and internship training. Through focus groups, interviews, and classroom observations, data were collected to analyze their experiences in economically disadvantaged settings. The researchers explored key aspects of the scholars’ experiences, including their struggles with student performance and motivation, ways in which they developed strategies to strengthen their self-efficacy and resilience, and how novel strategies for assessing learning improved their teaching. By examining their perceptions of classroom situations and cultural contexts, and their emerging coping mechanisms, others can learn about how novice teachers may be better prepared to work in challenging environments, and develop recommendations for enabling teacher-training programs to meet the needs of their students.
Explaining the Widening Education Gap in Mortality among U.S. White Women
Authors: Montez Jennifer Karas , Zajacova Anna
Published: May 2013

Over the past half century the gap in mortality across education levels has grown in the United States, and since the mid-1980s, the growth has been especially pronounced among white women. The reasons for the growth among white women are unclear. We investigated three explanations—social-psychological factors, economic circumstances, and health behaviors—for the widening education gap in mortality from 1997 to 2006 among white women aged 45 to 84 years using data from the National Health Interview Survey Linked Mortality File ( N = 46,744; 4,053 deaths). Little support was found for social-psychological factors, but economic circumstances and health behaviors jointly explained the growing education gap in mortality to statistical nonsignificance. Employment and smoking were the most important individual components. Increasing high school graduation rates, reducing smoking prevalence, and designing work-family policies that help women find and maintain desirable employment may reduce mortality inequalities among women.
Multiplex PCR testing requires a robust multi-disciplinary strategy to effectively manage identified cases of chlamydial conjunctivitis
Authors: Lockington D , MacDonald R , King S , Weir C , Winter A , Aitken C
Published: May 2013

Introduction

Implementation of an in-house polymerase chain reaction (PCR) multiplex assay by West of Scotland Specialist Virology Centre to improve sample processing means all viral eye swabs are now routinely tested for Adenovirus, Herpes simplex, Varicella and Chlamydia. Concern was raised regarding subsequent management and sexual health attendance for Chlamydia-positive patients identified in eye casualty.

Methods

A retrospective review of virology results identified 76 Chlamydia-positive patients from 1914 eye swabs (4%) from May 2007 to April 2008. Of these results, 12 originated from Glasgow eye casualty and available clinical notes were cross-referenced with the sexual health network (Sandyford).

Results

Identified issues included no documentation of implications of testing, poor communication of positive results and poor referral pathways to sexual health for assessment; all leading to inadequate management. A shared care network was created to address these issues. A designated sexual health advisor was identified to improve sexual health referral, specialist assessment, standardised management and contact tracing. Re-audit showed more consistent follow-up.

Conclusion

New PCR technology has resulted in a shared care approach to address corresponding implications of testing. Effective communication with a structured protocol and a central point of contact has improved follow-up and ensures appropriate best practice management of chlamydial conjunctivitis.
A case of sebaceous carcinoma arising in a benign cystic teratoma of the ovary and review of the literature
Authors: Moghaddam Y , Lindsay R , Tolhurst J , Millan D , Siddiqui N
Published: May 2013

Objective:

To present an extremely rare case of sebaceous carcinoma arising in a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary.

Clinical presentation and intervention:

A 66-year-old woman presented with abdominal discomfort and a pelvic mass. Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound, as well as CT scan, revealed a 27 cm complex right pelvic mass, which was diagnosed histologically as a sebaceous carcinoma arising in a mature cystic teratoma. The patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, peritoneal washings, appendicectomy and infracolic omentectomy.

Conclusion:

This case adds to the rare reports in the literature of sebaceous carcinoma occurring in a mature cystic teratoma. The clinical behaviour and optimal management of this entity are not well established. The patient has been well for 32 months following surgery with no evidence of recurrent disease clinically.

Urological complications of inguinal hernia surgery
Authors: Shah S , Marsh H , Khan MS , Shah A , Madaan S
Published: May 2013

Background and aims

A systematic review of the literature is presented with regard to urological complications resulting from inguinal hernia surgery. Considering the amount of inguinal hernia operations performed, the resulting complications, which may be urological in presentation, have potential late irreversible and medico-legal implications.

Methods and results

A Pubmed search of ‘urological’ ‘complications’ and ‘inguinal hernia surgery’ was carried out and clinical practice was also taken into consideration.

Discussion

Approximately 75% of hernias occur in the groin; two-third of these are indirect and about one-third direct. Most of these repairs are carried out by the general surgeons and any complication, including urological, are often initially managed by the operating general surgeon. Often a urological opinion is sought late for conditions which may be reversible. We present potential urological complications, their presenting features and management.

Conclusion

Recognition, timely referral and appropriate treatment of urological complications after hernia surgery are necessary to avoid potential consequences and long-term morbidity.
L’économie dans l’utopie monastique : les stratégies d’adaptation
Authors: Jonveaux Isabelle
Published: May 2013

Although it is often stressed that any attempt to fully understand the workings of religious institutions must take account of their economic dimensions, that of Catholic monasteries has rarely been studied. Monasteries are theoretically a utopia of the Kingdom of God – both here on earth and in heaven – and in this sense it should reject all economic activity. The need for monks to make a living, however, unavoidably involves them in such activity, which they try to justify in terms that are in keeping with the idea of a religious utopia. This article seeks to explore the strategies of redefinition developed by monks to integrate the economic and the religious spheres.
The Political Economy of Post-invasion Kabul, Afghanistan: Urban Restructuring beyond the North–South Divide
Authors: Esser Daniel
Published: May 2013

The article applies the Althusserian concept of overdetermination to a contemporary case of urban restructuring in the global South. Since the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan, the international aid industry has been using its capital city, Kabul, as a laboratory and launch pad for liberal policies and programmes to demonstrate that security, economic growth and democracy are mutually reinforcing and can therefore be achieved in conjunction. These interventions have resulted in fundamental structural changes in Kabul’s political economy that mimic processes of accumulation by dispossession in the urban global North. Formerly shaped by indigenous political activism and cautious democratic experimentation, Kabul today is a space of accelerated accumulation in the shadows of international peacebuilding.
From Urban Catastrophe to ‘Model’ City? Politics, Security and Development in Post-conflict Kigali
Authors: Goodfellow Tom , Smith Alyson
Published: May 2013

In the years immediately after the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Kigali was a site of continuing crisis amid extraordinary levels of urban population growth, as refugees returned to Rwanda in their millions. Yet unlike many post-conflict cities that spiral into endemic crime and instability, it was rapidly securitised in the context of political consolidation and large amounts of foreign aid, and hailed by the UN as a ‘model, modern city’. This paper analyses the government’s approach to securitising Kigali, interrogating how its rapid trajectory from epicentre of conflict to carefully planned showcase for development has been achieved. It is argued that Kigali bears the weight of many of Rwanda’s development aspirations and keeping it secure and orderly is viewed as critical by the government. After examining the national and local processes through which the government has aimed to achieve ‘secure urbanisation’, the potential longer-term implications of its urban development strategy are considered.
In Defense of Rhetoric: Or How Hard It Is to Take a Writer Seriously
Authors: Strong Tracy B.
Published: May 2013

Interpretations of Nietzsche, particularly about politics, cover an exceptionally wide range. Additionally, Nietzsche is often said to commit “rhetorical excesses.” I argue and show that Nietzsche consciously crafted his published works to allow this range of interpretations, that he did this for critical purposes, and that his so-called rhetoric is there to serve this purpose.
Redefining Media Content and Structure in Terms of Available Resources
Authors: Lee Sungkyoung , Lang Annie
Published: May 2013

This study reconceptualizes redundancy, complexity, and emotion in terms of cognitive load (specifically as resources allocated and required), then measures the combined real-time impact of these variables on available resources and encoding over the course of an hour television news program. Operational definitions of redundancy in the literature were ordered by their theoretically predicted level of resources required, then coded overtime. Dynamic measures of audio and video complexity in terms of resources allocated and required were developed and tested. Over the course of the news program, all combinations of independent variables occurred and the theoretically derived combinations of cognitive load successfully predicted changes in resources available as measured by Secondary Task Reaction Times (STRTs) and encoding indexed by recognition. The results suggest that defining message variables in terms of dynamic changes in cognitive load can allow us to predict the simultaneous dynamic impact of multiple message variables which contribute to complexity on processing capacity and message processing.
Military Identity as Predictor of Perceived Military Competence and Skills
Authors: Johansen Rino Bandlitz , Laberg Jon Christian , Martinussen Monica
Published: May 2013

Recent radical changes in the application of military power and service patterns have triggered demands for a change in military identity. This article aimed to examine the ability of military identity to predict perceived military performance and attitudes beyond the contributions of personality traits and Hardiness in Norwegian military academy cadets ( N = 117). Military skills, general military competence, and organizational commitment were measured by self-report. Military Identity, in particular operational identity, was found to predict both perceived military competence and skills. Furthermore, Individualism negatively predicted organizational commitment. As the first investigation of the unique influence of Military Identity on perceived skills and competence in the Norwegian armed forces, this study identifies operational identity as an important predictor of military performance. Implications for training as well as leadership development programs are discussed.
Modulation of Intestinal Inflammation by Minimal Enteral Nutrition With Amniotic Fluid in Preterm Pigs
Authors: Østergaard Mette V. , Bering Stine B. , Jensen Michael L. , Thymann Thomas , Purup Stig , Diness Marie , Schmidt Mette , Sangild Per T.
Published: May 2013

Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe inflammatory disorder, associated with the difficult transition from parenteral to enteral feeding after preterm birth. We hypothesized that minimal enteral nutrition (MEN) with amniotic fluid (AF), prior to enteral formula feeding, would improve resistance to NEC in preterm pigs. Methods: Experiment 1: IEC‐6 cells were incubated with porcine (pAF) and human AF (hAF) to test AF‐stimulated enterocyte proliferation and migration in vitro. Experiment 2: Cesarean‐delivered, preterm pigs were fed parenteral nutrition and MEN with pAF, hAF, or control fluid (MEN‐pAF, MEN‐hAF, or MEN‐CTRL; all n = 9) for 2 days before tissue collection. Experiment 3: Preterm pigs were fed MEN diets as in experiment 2, but followed by 2 days of enteral formula feeding, which predisposes to NEC (NEC‐pAF, NEC‐hAF, or NEC‐CTRL; n = 10–12). Results: Both pAF and hAF stimulated enterocyte proliferation and migration in vitro. In experiment 2, MEN‐pAF and MEN‐hAF pigs showed increased body weight gain and reduced intestinal interleukin (IL)–8 and colonic IL‐6 levels, indicating reduced inflammatory response. In experiment 3, body weight gain was highest in the 2 groups fed AF as MEN, but NEC incidences were similar (NEC‐pAF) or increased (NEC‐hAF) compared with controls. Conclusions: Intake of pAF or hAF improved body growth and modulated intestinal inflammatory cytokines during a period of parenteral nutrition, but did not protect against later formula‐induced NEC in preterm pigs. Further studies are required to show if MEN feeding with species‐specific AF, combined with an optimal enteral diet (eg, human milk), will improve adaptation during the transition from parenteral to enteral feeding in preterm neonates.
Measuring Mate Preferences
Authors: Boxer Christie F. , Noonan Mary C. , Whelan Christine B.
Published: May 2013

Mate preferences have a long research history in the social sciences, yet given their evolving nature they must be revisited periodically. We use evolutionary psychology and social role paradigms to frame our study and contribute to this body of work in two important ways. First, we examine preference trends over the past 25 years and find that both men and women increasingly place a higher value on a mate’s financial prospects and desire for home and children. Second, we compare results generated from qualitative mate preference data with two popular methods in mate preference literature in terms of substantive findings and methodological utility.
The influence of phonotactic probability on word recognition in toddlers
Authors: MacRoy-Higgins Michelle , Shafer Valerie L , Schwartz Richard G , Marton Klara
Published: May 2013

This study examined the influence of phonotactic probability on word recognition in English-speaking toddlers. Typically developing toddlers completed a preferential looking paradigm using familiar words, which consisted of either high or low phonotactic probability sound sequences. The participants’ looking behavior was recorded in response to correctly-produced and incorrectly-produced forms of familiar words. Results indicate that toddlers were more sensitive to mispronunciations of high probability words as compared to low probability words. Toddlers’ word recognition skills were more closely related to the frequency with which they have heard and produced phonological sequences, rather than word familiarity. These findings are discussed in terms of toddlers with expressive language delay.
Pre-operative serum albumin concentration as a predictor of mortality and morbidity following cardiac surgery
Authors: Koertzen M , Punjabi PP , Lockwood GG
Published: May 2013

Pre-operative hypoalbuminaemia is associated with worse outcomes after non-cardiac surgery, but it has only recently been considered as a predictor of outcome in cardiac surgery. A multivariate analysis of data routinely collected from 400 patients undergoing cardiac surgery was undertaken, comprising pre-operative routine blood tests (serum concentrations of albumin, creatinine, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin and haemoglobin, and white cell and platelet count), diabetic status, left ventricular function, gender, ethnicity, body mass index and age. Indices of outcome were death and length of stay (LoS) in cardiac intensive care and hospital. Eight percent of patients had baseline severe hypoalbuminaemia (serum albumin less than 30 g.L−1): these patients had longer intensive care and hospital stays and were more likely to die. Multivariate analysis revealed the best combination of predictors of length of hospital stay for the first 200 patients to be age, serum creatinine concentration, severe hypoalbuminaemia and diabetic state. However, in the second cohort of 200 patients, the same combination of predictors was not successful in predicting LoS in hospital.

AACSB International advocates integration of ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability in all business school disciplines. This study provides an overview of the implementation of these three topics in teaching initiatives and assessment in business schools accredited by AACSB International. Since no comprehensive studies have been conducted for the marketing area, the results provide benchmarks as well as thought-provoking material to initiate business school and marketing faculty discussions on integrating the three topics into their curricula.

Objective

To quantify faecal calprotectin concentrations in a variety of gastrointestinal disorders in order to determine its diagnostic value.

Methods

Patients with gastrointestinal symptoms undergoing upper or lower endoscopy and healthy control subjects provided stool samples. Calprotectin was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results

The study recruited 210 patients with definitively diagnosed gastrointestinal diseases and 50 control subjects. Calprotectin concentrations were significantly higher in patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease compared with controls, or patients with colorectal polyps or irritable bowel syndrome. The faecal calprotectin concentration significantly differentiated between inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and non-IBD (area under ROC curve 0.949). Calprotectin concentrations were significantly higher in patients with oesophageal polyps or gastric neoplasms than in those with chronic gastritis, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers or acute pancreatitis.

Conclusion

Calprotectin may be a useful noninvasive marker for the diagnosis of IBD.
A history of deep brain stimulation: Technological innovation and the role of clinical assessment tools
Authors: Gardner John
Published: May 2013

Deep brain stimulation involves using a pacemaker-like device to deliver constant electrical stimulation to problematic areas within the brain. It has been used to treat over 40,000 people with Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor worldwide and is currently undergoing clinical trials as a treatment for depression and obsessive–compulsive disorder. This article will provide an historical account of deep brain stimulation in order to illustrate the plurality of interests involved in the development and stabilization of deep brain stimulation technology. Using Latour’s notion of immutable mobiles, this article will illustrate the importance of clinical assessment tools in shaping technological development in the era of medical device regulation. Given that such tools can serve commercial and professional interests, this article suggests that it is necessary to scrutinise their application in research contexts to ensure that they capture clinical changes that are meaningful for patients and their families. This is particularly important in relation to potentially ethically problematic therapies such as deep brain stimulation for psychiatric disorders.
The Association Between Correctional Orientation and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors Among Correctional Staff
Authors: Lambert Eric G. , Barton-Bellessa Shannon M. , Hogan Nancy L.
Published: May 2013

This study sought to examine the relationship between correctional orientation (support for rehabilitation or punishment) and organizational citizenship behaviors (going above and beyond what is expected at work). All available staff at a Midwestern, high-security prison that housed juvenile offenders sentenced as adults were surveyed. Regression results suggest that correctional orientation does have a direct impact on organizational citizenship. Those staff indicating greater support for rehabilitation were more likely to report engagement in organizational citizenship behaviors. Support for punishment, however, had a nonsignificant association. Even among custody staff (i.e., correctional officers) and staff who spent half or more of their day interacting with inmates, support for rehabilitation had a significant positive association with organizational behaviors and support for punishment was not a significant predictor. In addition to the benefits of increased support for rehabilitation, such as better inmate relations, job satisfaction, and lower job stress, the current results suggest that another benefit of increasing support for rehabilitation among staff could result in greater engagement in organizational citizenship behaviors. Correctional administrators should explore different ways to promote support for rehabilitation among staff.
James C. Knox (1977) Human impacts on Wisconsin stream channels. Annals of the Association of American Geographers 67: 224–244.
Authors: Graf William L.
Published: May 2013

James C. Knox’s 1977 paper “Human Impacts on Wisconsin Stream Channels,” published in the Annals of the Association of American Geographers, was a key component of a suite of three papers by him defining the response of rivers to the introduction and management of agriculture and to climate change. In this paper he used the Driftless Area of southwest Wisconsin as a laboratory where he could define fluvial responses by their sedimentary signatures in floodplain deposits. Land-use records dating back to the early 19th century along with shorter climate records provided his understanding of the drivers of change. He found that floods increased as an outcome of land-cover change. Upstream tributaries became wider and shallower as coarse deposits limited their adjustments, while main stem channels became narrower and deeper. His paper reflected the influence of his graduate advisor and especially of prominent faculty colleagues at the University of Wisconsin from fields ranging from soils and climatology to geomorphology and history. The paper was the subject of considerable debate in the professional community, but it remains a much-cited example of Knox’s work in unraveling the Quaternary and Holocene history of rivers of the Driftless Area and by extension the upper Mississippi River system.
Contrasting Systemic Functional Linguistic and Situated Literacies Approaches to Multimodality in Literacy and Writing Studies
Authors: Anderson Kate T.
Published: May 2013

Against the backdrop of proliferating research on multimodality in the fields of literacy and writing studies, this article considers the contributions of two prominent theoretical perspectives—Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Situated Literacies—and the methodological tensions they raise for the study of multimodality. To delineate these two perspectives’ methodological tensions, I present an analysis of selected recent literature from both approaches and then analyze these tensions further as they emerge in two empirical studies published in this journal illustrating each approach. Despite the fact that SFL and Situated Literacies share some underlying theoretical assumptions and are sometimes drawn upon in concert by scholars, I illustrate how they differ in their treatment of multimodal texts and practices—as well as their methodologies—research design, data collected, analytic methods, and possible implications. This article thus seeks to outline the respective contributions of SFL and Situated Literacies to ongoing research on multimodality in literacy and writing studies and to encourage a conversation across theoretical and methodological borders.
Dissenters, Managers, and Coworkers
Authors: Garner Johny T.
Published: May 2013

Previous research on organizational dissent has explored a number of issues, but that research has been overly focused on the dissenter while neglecting the active role of others in co-constructing dissent. That line of scholarship has also tended to examine dissent expressions in isolation rather than exploring how previous experiences shape present expectations. This essay redefines dissent to situate interaction centrally and to focus on dissent interactions over time as a process rather than a one-time event. The success or failure of dissent is conceptualized as part of that process. Such a perspective reveals nuances by including the stories and discourses that are told as part of and in addition to an initial dissent conversation. A case study demonstrates how this reconceptualization of dissent recognizes the primary importance of interaction in constituting organizations and advances process theory by explicating the value such a perspective adds to this context.

Published: May 2013

A comparative investigation on thermomechanical cycles including programming, cooling, unloading and heating to trigger the one-way effect (1-WE) was carried out for Veriflex® between temperature ( T) and glass transition temperature ( Tg) at 62°C ( T <  Tg) and 72°C ( T >  Tg) for 140% strains and 10 min recovery time. Accumulation of strain and recovery ratios was estimated during the treatments. It turns out that the process causes an increase in irreversible strain and is associated with a corresponding decrease in intensity of the 1-WE in particular during the first thermomechanical cycle. The confocal laser scanning microscopic study shows a very little wavy surface structure evolved at 72°C. Infrared study features the chemical nature of Veriflex.

Published: May 2013

In the present research, the synthesis and characterization of poly(arylene ether ketone) (PAEK)–cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocomposites prepared using carboxylic-functionalized PAEK (PCA-PAEK) as the ligand in dimethylformamide solution from cadmium acetate and thiourea is reported. The resulting CdS/PCA-PAEK nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet–visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, confirming the formation of CdS quantum dots (QDs) with small particle size. The results of PL measurement showed that the nanocomposite exhibited distinct luminescence properties. Furthermore, the effects of reaction time, CdS/PCA-PAEK ratio, and Cd2+/thiourea ratio on the PL of CdS QDs were also investigated. Thus, a novel simple route was successfully developed for synthesizing nanohybrids based on QDs and high-performance polymers with incorporated carboxylic moiety.
Surface temperature difference for analysis of distortion of heavy weak-rigidity castings during heat treatment
Authors: Hai-liang Yu , Jin-wu Kang , Cheng Lu , Kiet Tieu
Published: May 2013

Temperature field has been widely used to predict the deformation of the blade castings during a heat treatment process. However, it is difficult to predict distortion of the castings. In this article, a new parameter, surface temperature difference of the castings along the thickness direction, has been proposed to analyze distortion of the thin-walled heavy castings with weak rigidity. The parameter was applied to the analysis of distortion of a heavy blade casting under various air speeds of the fans during heat treatment. The calculated minimum temperature in the blade casting was in good agreement with the actual measured value. The surface temperature differences result in the distortion process of the blade during the heat treatment process.
An experimental study of machining characteristics and tool wear in the diamond wire sawing of granite
Authors: Huang Hui , Huang Guoqin , Xu Xipeng , Huang Han
Published: May 2013

A diamond wire sawing process was developed for slicing granite in order to complement the disk sawing. Machining characteristics and tool wear during wire sawing of a granite material that consists of three major minerals, that is, quartz, feldspar and mica, were systematically investigated. The material removal mechanism involved in the sawing was explored. The scanning electron microscope examination of the sawn surfaces of the granite and the analysis of the force and temperature involved in the sawing process indicated that the material removal of the granite was dominated by brittle fracture. The typical cleaving and slipping behaviors of feldspar and mica associated with sawing resulted in unique morphologies on the sawn granite surfaces. The tool wear of the process was characterized by the nonuniform wear of diamond beads impregnated on the wire, with the fore end of the diamond beads experiencing greater wear than the rear part.
Integrating Kano model and grey–Markov chain to predict customer requirement states
Authors: Song Wenyan , Ming Xinguo , Xu Zhitao
Published: May 2013

This study aims at predicting the states transition of customer requirement to support product development department to generate products for future markets. Customer requirement analysis has long been recognized as one of the most crucial activities for the success of product development due to its significant impact on the downstream development activities. However, dynamic states transition of customer requirements has received less research attention. Most of researches only focus on static customer requirement analysis, which is not proper for developing competitive products in rapid changing market today. In order to manipulate this problem, a novel integrated approach for predicting customer requirement states is proposed. The novel approach integrates the strength of Kano model in customer requirement classification, the advantage of grey theory in trends prediction with fewer data and the merit of Markov chain in modeling local fluctuations of prediction. Finally, an application in prediction of customer requirement states for a mobile phone is provided to demonstrate the potential of the method.
