Post-privatization corporate governance in eastern europe (the case of the czech republic)
Authors: Havrilová Mária
Published: July 2015

After the collapse of communism, it was acknowledged that mass privatization was a priority for Eastern Europe. This paper examines why it was necessary to accelerate the process, and the various methods that were used. It focuses on the Czech system of voucher-based privatization. In the Czech experiment in transferring ownership rights is discussed a number of issues in relation to the post-privatization corporate governance. It is imperative that privatization is not perceived as an instant conversion from central planning to an idealistic model of a market economy. On the contrary, it is just the beginning of a long term, evolutionary process of institution building. Policy-makers need to realize that transition towards effective systems of governance may be jeopardized if left to market forces alone. Instead, it must be accompanied by robust regulatory measures, such as legal framework and capital and product markets.
New issues in voting power analysis
Authors: Turnovec František
Published: July 2015

The paper introduces concept of power indices with constraints on voting configuration formation, so called constrained power indices. It is shown in the paper that some of most frequently used power indices based on extremely simple model of weighted voting game can be extended for more sophisticated models of voting situations.
Monopolistic credit market in the conditions of imperfect information
Authors: Janda Karel
Published: July 2015

Imperfect information in the monopolistic credit market could lead to the rejection of credit provision to some applicants for credit. The choice of which class of borrowers is rejected credit depends on the relations among some characteristics of borrowers. The inefficiency of credit market could be alleviated by government credit guarantees.
Transformation, integration and inequality: the case of the czech republic
Authors: Sojka Milan
Published: July 2015

The paper concentrates on the criticism of the Czech neo-liberal transformation strategy resulting from its implementation. It brings about an analysis of major factors leading to adverse effects on the restructuring of former big state-owned enterprises, on the structure of Czech exports (due to its stress on the "traditional" industrial comparative advantages and especially cheap labor), and on the development of earnings distribution from the point of view of a "meritocratic ideal". This analysis of earnings distribution and its development during the 1990s shows an important role plaid by factors that have lead to creating suitable conditions for predatory and speculative patterns of behavior. This analysis serves as a basis for supporting an alternative modernization strategy of transformation of former Soviet-type economies and societies.
A note on coase versus pigou: institutionalism versus interventionism
Authors: Coeck Chris
Published: July 2015

A sharp distinction can be observed between A. C. Pigou and R. Coase regarding the solution of externality problems. Pigou advocated government intervention to solve externality problems whereas Coase remained sceptical about the efficiency and efficacy of intervention procedures and mechanisms. However, a much broader perspective should be adopted and the significance of different elements and building blocks of the scientific work of both authors has to be included in the analysis.
This note attempts to concentrate on the existing differences between A. C. Pigou and R. Coase, by relying upon the original contributions of these authors. As a result of the observed divergence between both theories, a focus on the difference between institutionalism and interventionism is instrumental to this article.
Computable policy model of eastern european agriculture and food industry
Authors: Janda Karel , Goodhue Rachael , Lyons Robert , Rausser Gordon , Simon Leo
Published: July 2015

The development of an international trade during the last few years have shown, that there exist substantial impediments to the good trade performance of the East and Central European countries. These problems are both of an internal economic policy nature and of an international trade policy nature. Especially strong problems are in the area of the agricultural and food trade, which is much less liberalized than the trade in other goods. One of the many ways of helping to improve the situation in the agricultural trade is an extensive understanding of the effects of domestic and international policy measures on the export and import flows of goods and on the individual, group, and social welfare.
Down‐regulation of tissue N:P ratios in terrestrial plants by elevated CO2

Published: July 2015

Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations generally alter element stoichiometry in plants. However, a comprehensive evaluation of the elevated CO2 impact on plant nitrogen : phosphorus (N:P) ratios and the underlying mechanism has not been conducted. We synthesized the results from 112 previously published studies using meta‐analysis to evaluate the effects of elevated CO2 on the N:P ratio of terrestrial plants and to explore the underlying mechanism based on plant growth and soil P dynamics. Our results show that terrestrial plants grown under elevated CO2 had lower N:P ratios in both above‐ and belowground biomass across different ecosystem types. The response ratio for plant N:P was negatively correlated with the response ratio for plant growth in croplands and grasslands, and showed a stronger relationship for P than for N. In addition, the CO2‐induced down‐regulation of plant N:P was accompanied by 19.3% and 4.2% increases in soil phosphatase activity and labile P, respectively, and a 10.1% decrease in total soil P. Our results show that down‐regulation of plant N:P under elevated CO2 corresponds with accelerated soil P cycling. These findings should be useful for better understanding of terrestrial plant stoichiometry in response to elevated CO2 and of the underlying mechanisms affecting nutrient dynamics under climate change.

Published: July 2015

Native warm‐season grasses (NWSGs) have demonstrated potential to reduce summer forage variability, and furthermore, there has been growing interest in the use of NWSGs as lignocellulosic biomass crops. The objective of this research was to determine if there was a difference in net returns for full‐season summer grazing beef steers (Bos taurus) on three NWSGs. Additionally, the expected price for biomass that a beef producer would need to break even between using the dual‐purpose early‐season grazing and biomass system and the full‐season grazing system was calculated for these three NWSGs. Weaned beef steers grazed switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) (SG), a big bluestem (Andropogon gerardi Vitman) and indiangrass [Sorghastrum nutans (L.) Nash] mixture (BBIG), and eastern gamagrass [Tripsacum dactyloides (L.) L.] at Grand Junction (AP) and Highland Rim (HR), TN, from 2010 to 2012. The dual‐purpose grazing occurred for 30 d beginning in early May, with subsequent growth harvested as biomass post‐dormancy, and full‐season grazing occurred for 90 d beginning in early May. Budgets were developed for each NWSG to calculate net returns, and mixed models were used to determine differences in beef yield and net returns across each NWSG and location. Expected yield and net returns to full‐season grazing were not different among NWSGs at AP. However, net returns to full‐season grazing were higher for BBIG than SG at HR. A profit‐maximizing, risk‐neutral individual would increase net returns by grazing any of the NWSGs over marketing calves at weaning. The breakeven biomass prices ranged between US$10 and US$98 Mg−1 depending on the NWSG and location.
Soybean Yield Response to Rhizobia Inoculant, Gypsum, Manganese Fertilizer, Insecticide, and Fungicide
Authors: Bluck Grace M. , Lindsey Laura E. , Dorrance Anne E. , Metzger James D.
Published: July 2015

From 2000 to 2013, soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] grain commodity price increased by almost 300% generating interest in inputs to maximize yield. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of commonly sold inputs on soybean grain yield in enhanced (high‐input) and traditional (low‐input) production systems. Inputs evaluated included: Rhizobia inoculant, gypsum, Mn fertilizer, insecticide, and fungicide. A 16 site‐year trial was established in Ohio during 2013 and 2014. Rhizobia inoculant was seed‐applied before planting, gypsum was applied at the VC growth stage (unrolled unifoliate leaves), and foliar Mn, insecticide, and fungicide were applied at the R3 growth stage (initial pod development). There was very little yield response associated with the inoculant, gypsum, Mn, and insecticide due to fields being in a corn–soybean rotation, no S deficiencies, limited Mn deficiencies, and limited insect defoliation. The omission of fungicide from the enhanced production system reduced yield in 5 of 16 site‐years by 0.21 to 0.79 Mg ha−1, but its addition to a traditional system increased yield significantly at 1 of 16 site‐years by 0.47 Mg ha−1. Across the 16 site‐years, soybean yield was influenced by fungicide application when fields had disease present, above average yield (>3.5 Mg ha−1), and received >25 cm of precipitation in June and July. The data indicate a very small potential for high‐input production systems to enhance crop yield without the presence of diseases, insects, or nutrient deficiencies.
Forage Accumulation and Nutritive Value of Brachiariagrasses and Tifton 85 Bermudagrass as Affected by Harvest Frequency and Irrigation

Published: July 2015

Brachiaria and Cynodon are important pasture grasses in Brazil. Convert HD 364 (Dow AgroSciences, São Paulo, Brazil) brachiariagrass (Brachiaria hybrid CIAT 36087; also known as Mulato II) is a new hybrid released for use in a broad range of environments. It has high nutritive value and yield, but there are no year‐round comparisons, including the dry season, with other pasture grasses. Forage accumulation and crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and in vitro digestible organic matter (IVDOM) concentrations were evaluated for Convert HD 364, Marandu palisadegrass {B. brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) R. D. Webster [syn. Urochloa brizantha (A. Rich.) Stapf]; CIAT 6297}, and Tifton 85 bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) during dry and rainy seasons from 2011 to 2013. Irrigated and rainfed plots were harvested every 28 and 42 d. Convert HD 364 had similar or greater forage accumulation (17.9–22.8 Mg DM ha−1) than Marandu and Tifton 85 (15% greater than Marandu and 12% greater than Tifton 85 when irrigated and harvested every 28 d). Tifton 85 CP concentration was 140 g kg−1, greater than that of the other grasses when harvested every 28 d and irrigated. Convert HD 364 (537 g kg−1) NDF concentration was least, regardless of irrigation, harvest frequency, or season. This was associated with IVDOM concentration greater than 650 g kg−1, similar to that of Marandu. Convert HD 364 is a viable option for diversification of pasture‐based animal production systems in tropical areas due to high forage accumulation and nutritive value when fertilized and well managed.
Transport and Retention of Polyvinylpyrrolidone‐Coated Silver Nanoparticles in Natural Soils
Authors: Wang Dengjun , Jaisi Deb P. , Yan Jing , Jin Yan , Zhou Dongmei
Published: July 2015

Transport and retention of polyvinylpyrrolidone‐coated silver nanoparticles (PVP‐AgNPs) were examined in water‐saturated columns packed with three types of natural soils: a clay loam red soil (RS), a sandy loam fluvo‐aquic soil (FS), and a loam huangni soil (HS). Specific factors investigated included monovalent K+ and divalent Ca2+ concentrations and the coupled effect of Ca2+ with humic acid (HA) at a PVP‐AgNP concentration of 10 mg L−1 and Darcy velocity of 0.182 cm min−1. Our results showed that transport of PVP‐AgNPs decreased with increasing K+ and Ca2+ concentrations, primarily due to enhanced aggregation of PVP‐AgNPs and reduced repulsive interactions between PVP‐AgNPs and soil grains. Consistent with the Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek theory, retention of PVP‐AgNPs was more pronounced in the presence of Ca2+ than K+. However, the presence of HA significantly weakened the mobility of PVP‐AgNPs with increasing Ca2+ concentration, probably due to increased aggregation of PVP‐AgNPs (forming a HA–Ca–PVP‐AgNPs complex). Irrespective of solution chemistry, the mobility of PVP‐AgNPs in all three soils remained in the order of RS < FS < HS. Principal components analysis indicated that the mobility of PVP‐AgNPs was positively correlated with pH, cation exchange capacity, and soil organic matter content and was negatively correlated with Fe oxide content and specific surface area of the soils. Overall, our findings highlight the dominant role of soil physicochemical properties in the mobility of Ag nanoparticles in natural soils and the importance of investigating these factors to better understand the fate of engineered nanoparticles in natural environments at the point of disposal and protecting groundwater resources.
Fanning friction (f) and colburn (j) factors of a louvered fin and flat tube compact heat exchanger
Authors: Karthik Pooranachandran , Kumaresan Vellaisamy , Velraj Ramalingam
Published: July 2015

In the present study, the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of
air over the louvered fins in a compact heat exchanger, used as a radiator
in the automobiles have been experimentally investigated. The experiments
were conducted at various flow rates of air and the results showed a
decrease in goodness factor of 22.7% with respect to increase in Reynolds
number from 231 to 495. The experimental results were compared with the CFD
results and the ?f? and ?j? factors from the CFD analysis are in good
agreement with the experimental data. Also, the experimental ?f? and ?j?
factors were compared with the predicted values from the available
correlations in the literature for the louvered fin and tube compact heat
exchangers. The large deviation of the predicted results revealed that the
correlations are not reliable for the design of the compact heat exchanger.
Hence, the CFD analysis is more advantageous for the optimal design of
compact heat exchanger, which also reduces the experimentation time and
cost.
Risk management of energy efficiency projects in the industry - sample plant for injecting pulverized coal into the blast furnaces
Authors: Jovanovic Filip , Beric Ivana , Jovanovic Petar , Jovanovic Aca
Published: July 2015

This paper analyses the applicability of well-known risk management
methodologies in energy efficiency projects in the industry. The
possibilities of application of the selected risk management methodology are
demonstrated within the project of the plants for injecting pulverized coal
into blast furnaces nos. 1 and 2, implemented by the company US STEEL SERBIA
d.o.o. in Smederevo. The aim of the project was to increase energy efficiency
through the reduction of the quantity of coke, whose production requires
large amounts of energy, reduction of harmful exhaust emission and increase
productivity of blast furnaces through the reduction of production costs. The
project was complex and had high costs, so that it was necessary to predict
risk events and plan responses to identified risks at an early stage of
implementation, in the course of the project design, in order to minimise
losses and implement the project in accordance with the defined time and cost
limitations.
An efficient spectral solution for unsteady boundary-layer flow and heat transfer due to a stretching sheet
Authors: Mohammadi Fakhrodin , Rashidi Mohamad
Published: July 2015

In this paper, an efficient spectral collocation method based on the shifted Legendre polynomials is applied to study the unsteady boundary-layer flow and heat transfer due to a stretching sheet. A similarity transformation is used to reduce the governing unsteady boundary-layer equations to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. Then, the shifted Legendre polynomials and their operational matrix of derivative are used for producing an analytical approximate solution of this system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The main advantage of the proposed method is that the need for guessing and correcting the initial values during the solution procedure is eliminated and a stable solution with good accuracy can be obtained by using the given boundary conditions in the problem. A very good agreement is observed between the obtained results by the proposed spectral collocation method and those of previously published ones.

Authors: Vujosevic Milica , Popovic Milena
Published: July 2015

Annual energy performance of the atrium type hotel buildings in Belgrade
climate conditions are analysed in this paper. The objective is to examine
the impact of the atrium on the hotel building?s energy needs for space
heating and cooling, thus establishing the best design among four proposed
alternatives of the hotels with atrium. The energy performance results are
obtained using EnergyPlus simulation engine, taking into account Belgrade
climate data and thermal comfort parameters. The selected results are
compared and the hotels are ranked according to certain criteria.
Decision-making process that resulted in the ranking of the proposed
alternatives is conducted using PROMETHEE method and Borda model. The
methodological approach in this research includes the creation of a
hypothetical model of an atrium type hotel building, numerical simulation of
energy performances of four design alternatives of the hotel building with an
atrium, comparative analysis of the obtained results and ranking of the
proposed alternatives from the building?s energy performance perspective. The
main task of the analysis is to examine the influence of the atrium, with
both its shape and position, on the energy performance of the hotel building.
Based on the results of the research it can be to determine the most energy
efficient model of the hotel building with atrium for Belgrade climate
condition areas.
Large-scaled simulation on the coherent vortex evolution of a jet in a cross-flow based on lattice Boltzmann method
Authors: Shangguan Yanqin , Wang Xian , Li Yueming
Published: July 2015

Large eddy simulation (LES) is performed on a jet issued normally into a
cross-flow using lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and multiple graphic
processing units (multi-GPUs) to study the flow characteristics of jets in
cross-flow (JICF). The simulation with 8 1.50?10 grids is fulfilled with 6
K20M GPUs. With large-scaled simulation, the secondary and tertiary vortices
are captured. The features of the secondary vortices and the tertiary
vortices reveal that they have a great impact on the mixing between jet flow
and cross-flow. The qualitative and quantitative results also indicate that
the evolution mechanism of vortices is not constant, but varies with
different situations. The hairpin vortex under attached jet regime originates
from the boundary layer vortex of cross-flow. While, the origin of hairpin
vortex in detached jet is the jet shear-layer vortex. The mean velocities
imply the good ability of LBM to simulate JICF and the large loss of jet
momentum in detached jet caused by the strong penetration. Besides, in our
computation, a high computational performance of 1083.5 MLUPS is achieved.
Clinical disease associated with epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus in cattle in Illinois
Authors: Garrett Edgar F. , Po Eleonora , Bichi Elena R. , Hexum Suzette K. , Melcher Robert , Hubner Andrew M.
Published: July 2015

Objective—To describe the clinical manifestation of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) in cattle during an outbreak in northwestern Illinois in the fall of 2013.

Design—Outbreak survey.

Sample—18 EHDV-affected cattle herds.

Procedures—Herds with confirmed EHDV-infected cattle were selected for the survey on the basis of having a manager willing to participate. A survey was developed and administered to obtain information regarding the demographics of EHDV-affected herds and the clinical signs and outcomes for EHDV-infected cattle.

Results—The managers of 13 beef and 5 dairy herds participated in the survey. The herds contained approximately 1,400 cattle, of which 61 were infected with EHDV and 16 died. Most cattle clinically affected with EHDV were adults, although 1 herd had 6 calves with clinical signs, and EHDV was identified during postmortem testing of 1 of those calves. Clinical signs most commonly observed were oral ulcerations or erosions, anorexia, weight loss, and lameness that typically lasted > 7 days. Of the 18 herds, 17 had wooded areas and 14 had at least 1 pond or marsh on the property. Deer were observed on the property of all farms. The EHDV outbreak in cattle coincided with an EHDV outbreak in deer in the region.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—This large-scale outbreak of EHDV in US cattle was unusual because calves were affected. Because there is no way to effectively predict or prevent an EHDV outbreak in cattle, development of a vaccine for use in cattle during an outbreak would be beneficial.

Meeting the Targets or Re-Imagining Society? An Empirical Study into the Ethical Landscape of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage in Scotland
Authors: Mabon Leslie , Shackley Simon
Published: July 2015

Preston's (2011) challenge to the moral presumption against geoengineering is applied to carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) in Scotland, United Kingdom. Qualitative data is analysed to assess if and how Preston's arguments play out in practice. We argue that the concepts of ‘lesser evil’ and prioritising human well-being over non-interference in natural processes do bring different value positions together in support of CCS, but that not all people see short-term carbon abatement as the ‘least worst’ option or a suitable way to prioritise human well-being.
Carbon Leakage and the Argument from No Difference
Authors: Rendall Matthew
Published: July 2015

Critics of carbon mitigation often appeal to what Jonathan Glover has called ‘the argument from no difference': that is, ‘if I don't do it, someone else will'. Yet even if this justifies continued high emissions by the industrialised countries, it cannot excuse business as usual. The North's emissions might not harm the victims of climate change in the sense of making them worse off than they would otherwise be. Nevertheless, it receives benefits produced at the latter's expense. This enrichment is unjust; unjustly-enriched agents ought to make compensation. The best form of compensation is vigorous action against climate change.

Published: July 2015

A new series of N-({5-(substituted aryl)-furan-2-yl}-methylidene)-hydrazides were synthesized with a new class of Schiff bases derived from the reaction of substituted phenyl-1-ketohydrazide 2 or 2-(4-chloro-3-methylaryloxy) acetohydrazide 3 with different 5-(substituted aryl)-2-furfuraldehyde (1a-k) to yield substituted N-({5-(substituted aryl)-furan-2-yl}-methylidene)-hydrazides-Schiff bases (4a-f, 4g-k). The title compounds were subjected to in vitro antibacterial screening against Gram positive bacterial strains- S. aureus, B. cereus, E. faecalis and S. epidermidis, and Gram negative bacteria strains- E. coli, S. typhi, S. dysenteriae  and K. pneumoniae. The synthesized Schiff bases were also evaluated for their anthelmintic activity against two species of earthworms (Pheritima posthuma and Perionyx excavates). Some compounds have shown promising antibacterial and anthelmintic activities.
In vivo antidiarrheal study of ethanolic extracts of Mikania cordata and Litsea monopetala leaves
Authors: Nasrin Fatema , Hakim Md. Lukman
Published: July 2015

In this study the antidiarrheal activity of ethanolic extracts of the leaves of Mikania cordata and Litsea monopetala was evaluated. Diarrhea was induced in mice by oral administration of castor oil (0.5 mL) 30 min after the administration of the extracts. During a 4 hour study the number of diarrheal feces and percentage inhibition of the extracts (200 and 400 mg/kg body weight) was determined. Loperamide (3 mg/kg body weight) served as standard and belonged to the positive control group. The extracts exhibited potent antidiarrheal activity as well as achieved statistically significant p value (p<0.01 and p<0.05) compared to control group. Among the extracts the highest percentage inhibition of defecation (60%) was recorded for leaf extract (400 mg/kg body weight) of L. monopetala. So, the study corroborates the significant antidiarrheal activity of M. cordata and L. monopetala leaf extracts and raises the demand of further sophisticated investigation.

 
Regioselective synthesis of chiral dimethyl-bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene sulfones
Authors: Pop Flavia , Avarvari Narcis
Published: July 2015

Enantiopure (R,R) and (S,S)-dimethyl-bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene monosulfones have been synthesized by the aerial oxidation of the chiral dithiolates generated from the propionitrile-protected precursors. Both enantiomers crystallize in the orthorhombic chiral space group P212121. They show a boat-type conformation of the TTF moiety, a rather rigid dithiin sulfone ring and the methyl groups in a bisequatorial conformation. Cyclic voltammetry measurements indicate fully reversible oxidation in radical cation and dication species.

A Cross-Sectional TEM Specimen of a Multilayer Thin Film Prepared Using the FIB Technique
Authors: Sosiati Harini , Hata Satoshi , Doi Toshiya
Published: July 2015

A focused ion beam (FIB) mill equipped with a microsampling (MS) unit and combined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM)/scanning TEM-energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (STEM-EDXS) is a powerful tool for studies of the functional advanced materials. For the studies, the specimen must be prepared as a thin foil which is tranparent to the electron beam. Focused ion beam is very effective method for fabricating TEM specimen of the cross-sectional thin film with the “lift-out” technique using a tungsten (W)-needle probe as a micromanipulator. A multilayer film of MgB2/Ni deposited on a Si (001) substrate prepared by FIB-MS technique is presented. Before FIB fabrication, the surface of the multilayer film was coated with W-film to prevent the surface from bombardment by the ion beam. A bright field (BF)-STEM image of the multilayer film related to two-dimensional (2D) elemental mapping clearly showed the presence of MgB2-and Ni-nanolayers. The measured experimental spacing between Ni-nanolayers was comparable with the actual specimen design, but the thickness of Ni-nanolayer was not. Unexpected nanostructures of the formation of SiO2 film on the substrate surface and holes within the film were observed.
The Small Telescopes Performance in the Visual to Near Infrared Wavelengths
Authors: Herdiwijaya Dhani
Published: July 2015

Optical system is important and optimized for highly spatial resolution in certain wavelength bandwidth. We tested three small refractor telescopes with different aperture (two telescopes with 80 mm in diameter and one with 66 mm diameter) and focal-length (544 mm, 400 mm, and 389 mm, respectively) in order to know the resolution from visual to near infra red regions. The images of sinusoidal bar test chart were recorded from CCD detector. The reference filter of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is also attached in front of detector. The filters have the range of G (401-550 nm), R (555-695 nm), I (690-820 nm), Z (>820 nm), Z_s (826-920 nm), and Y (950-1058 nm). The last filter is referred to the limit of quantum efficiency of the detector. The maximum frequency for each pixel from each Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) was performed. We found that smaller diameter telescope is better resolution in the visual wavelength than the wider diameter and longer focal-length. In the near infra red region, the opposite results were obtained. The coating lens quality may affect the wavelength dependences. This study has advantages of selecting low cost and high resolution optical system for different applications, e.g. very young crescent moon observation, etc.
