Authors: Михалев Александр , Mikhalev Aleksandr , Подлесный Степан , Podlesny Stepan , Стоева Пенка , Stoeva Penka
Published: October 2016

To study dynamics of the upper atmosphere, we consider results of the night sky photometry, using a color CCD camera and taking into account the night airglow and features of its spectral composition. We use night airglow observations for 2010–2015, which have been obtained at the ISTP SB RAS Geophysical Observatory (52° N, 103° E) by the camera with KODAK KAI-11002 CCD sensor. We estimate average brightness of the night sky in R, G, B channels of the color camera for eastern Siberia with typical values ranging from ~0.008 to 0.01 erg·cm–2·s–1. Besides, we determine seasonal variations in the night sky luminosities in R, G, B channels of the color camera. In these channels, luminosities decrease in spring, increase in autumn, and have a pronounced summer maximum, which can be explained by scattered light and is associated with the location of the Geophysical Observatory. We consider geophysical phenomena with their optical effects in R, G, B channels of the color camera. For some geophysical phenomena (geomagnetic storms, sudden stratospheric warmings), we demonstrate the possibility of quantitative relationship between enhanced signals in R and G channels and increases in intensities of discrete 557.7 and 630 nm emissions, which are predominant in the airglow spectrum.
A Model of Mental Accounting and Reference Price Adaptation
Authors: Baucells Manel , Hwang Woonam
Published: October 2016

Consumers possess a mental account that stores the worth of items purchased and yet to be consumed. Reference prices act as the book values of these items. Movements in the account—the comparison between the reference price and the price paid at entry, and the comparison between the benefit of consumption and the reference price at exit—yield hedonic benefits. The reference price is determined by a psychological process of adaptation to the price evoked by the trade. The model is integrative in that it explains a wide array of observed anomalies such as sunk-cost effects, payment depreciation, reluctance to trade, preference for prepayment, and the flat-rate bias. The model also generates new testable implications.

Cyberbullying sensitivity and awareness among entry-level university students
Authors: Ata Rıdvan , Adnan Müge
Published: October 2016

With increased usage of the Internet and social media, cyberbullying among young people has recently come to the fore worldwide, and Turkey has seen no exception to this. The numbers of young people subjected to bullying on digital platforms increases daily, which has a significant impact on their lives. It is therefore vital to raise awareness about cyberbullying, both in terms of taking precautions against its threats and to foster behavioural changes that may lead to reduced exposure to cyberbullying. The purpose of this study is to investigate entry level university students’ past and present experiences of cyberbullying, specifically within digital social environments. A survey method was adopted, with participation of entry level undergraduate students from various departments of a public university in Turkey during the 2015-2016 academic year. The ‘Cyberbullying Sensitivity Scale’, developed by Tanrıkulu, Kınay, and Arıcak (2013), was the instrument applied. Findings from the study aim to shed light on the current status of sensitivity and awareness about cyberbullying, with important implications for the introduction and fostering of healthier and more informed use of information and communication technologies.

Tribological Characterization of the Nanostructured Thin Films Deposited by Intelligent Methods, for Mechatronic and Biomedical Applications
Authors: Gornoava Valentin , Gheorghe Gheorghe Ion , Badita Liliana-Laura
Published: October 2016

The main objectives of the present project are to study and to improve mechanical properties of different systems from mechatronic and biomedical domains, in order to increase their functionality and life span. This is why nanostructured thin films (e.g. Al, Cr, Ti, Ti/Al multilayers) were deposited on different steel substrates, used in mechatronic and biomedical applications. By the characterization of coated surfaces of the products used in various fields such as medicine, mechatronics, electronics, etc. depends their proper operation, durability and reliability. This is the main reason why, we studied new types of layers and multilayers using Atomic Force Microscopy and scratch tests. The main result of the realized tests is that all studied nanostructured thin films offer the possibility of increasing the lifetime of substrates, being an important factor for proper functional operation, durability and reliability of the final systems in which they are used.
Efficiency of Innovative Charge Pump versus Clock Frequency and MOSFETs Sizes
Authors: Matoušek David , Hospodka Jiří , Šubrt Ondřej
Published: October 2016

Charge pumps are circuits that produce the voltage higher than supply voltage or negative voltage. Today, charge pumps became an integral part of the electronic equipment. The integration of charge pumps directly into the system allows manufacturers to feed a complex system with many specific power requirements from a single source. However, charge pump efficiency is reduced by many phenomena. This paper is focused on the question of efficiency of proposed variant of the charge pump. In this article, the efficiency dependence on a number of stages, output current, clock frequency and MOSFETs sizes was simulated by Eldo. The aim of this study is to determine the MOSFETs sizes and theirs influence to efficiency and the output voltage. Complex optimization of the charge pump circuit will follow in further text.
Nuclear fusion and its large potential for the future world energy supply
Authors: Ongena Jef
Published: October 2016

An overview of the energy problem in the world is presented. The colossal task of ‘decarbonizing’ the current energy system, with ~85% of the primary energy produced from fossil sources is discussed. There are at the moment only two options that can contribute to a solution: renewable energy (sun, wind, hydro, etc.) or nuclear fission. Their contributions, ~2% for sun and wind, ~6% for hydro and ~5% for fission, will need to be enormously increased in a relatively short time, to meet the targets set by policy makers. The possible role and large potential for fusion to contribute to a solution in the future as a safe, nearly inexhaustible and environmentally compatible energy source is discussed. The principles of magnetic and inertial confinement are outlined, and the two main options for magnetic confinement, tokamak and stellarator, are explained. The status of magnetic fusion is summarized and the next steps in fusion research, ITER and DEMO, briefly presented.
Strategic voting in the 2011 and 2015 Polish Senate elections: Testing Duvergerʼs Law in the second-order elections
Authors: Maškarinec Pavel
Published: October 2016

This article tests Duverger’s law through analysis of the Polish Senate elections in 2011 and 2015. These two elections were held under the new first-past-the-post (or single-member plurality) system, which replaced formerly used unlimited vote. The main aim of the article is to test, whether we can confirm the expectations of strategic voting in the context of the so-called second-order elections, as the Polish Parliament is a classical example of the asymmetrical bicameralism, with the secondary role of the upper chamber, the Senate. The results show that the strategic voting was not universal phenomenon under the plurality rule, as indicated by many violations of Duverger’s law. Our research confirmed that the effect of electoral institutions (institutional structure) is contingent and (at the district level) inhibited by country-specific conditions, with potentially strong influence of the second-order character of the Polish Senate elections.
Low-Cost Aerial Transport in Europe
Authors: Badicu Georgiana Daniela , State Violeta
Published: October 2016

Fast and continuous development of the low cost airlines is due to the low prices that have attracted more and more clients. These companies react to the market conditions and search to develop their operating fields towards areas with high potential. Low cost operators are very dynamic meaning that they continuously develop not only their network but also their price strategy. Competition in aerial transport is very tight especially because of low cost lines that attract customers with low charges for the consumers who do not want to invest a lot of money in a plane ticket.

Airlines industry in Europe is continuously adapted to the reality and conditions of the low cost airlines that consists of most European customers and constantly increase their market.
The Efficiency of the Macroeconomic Policies
Authors: Badea Sorin Gabriel , Ştefan Maria-Cristina
Published: October 2016

In the present work, the authors aim to determine the efficiency of the macroeconomic policies by determining the effects of the application of the instruments (revenue change) and finding out the instrument having the highest efficiency.

In today’s macroeconomic theory and practice, the efficiency level of the macroeconomic policy instrument is measured using multipliers. The different nature of the measurement units used when calculating the multipliers makes it impossible to compare the multipliers in order to establish the more efficient instrument, and for this reason it becomes necessary to use elasticity as an efficiency indicator.
Evolution of the Genotype-to-Phenotype Map and the Cost of Pleiotropy in Mammals
Authors: Porto Arthur , Schmelter Ryan , VandeBerg John L , Marroig Gabriel , Cheverud James M
Published: October 2016

Evolutionary studies have long emphasized that the genetic architecture of traits holds important microevolutionary consequences. Yet, studies comparing the genetic architecture of traits across species are rare, and discussions of the evolution of genetic systems are made on theoretical arguments rather than on empirical evidence. Here, we compared the genetic architecture of cranial traits in two different mammalian model organisms: the gray short-tailed opossum, Monodelphis domestica, and the laboratory mouse, Mus musculus. We show that both organisms share a highly polygenic genetic architecture for craniofacial traits, with many loci of small effect. However, these two model species differ significantly in the overall degree of pleiotropy, N, of the genotype-to-phenotype map, with opossums presenting a higher average N. They also diverge in their degree of genetic modularity, with opossums presenting less modular patterns of genetic association among traits. We argue that such differences highlight the context dependency of gene effects, with developmental systems shaping the variational properties of genetic systems. Finally, we also demonstrate based on the opossum data that current measurements for the relationship between the mutational effect size and N need to be re-evaluated in relation to the importance of the cost of pleiotropy for mammals.

Published: October 2016

As 2016 is the centennial of Dewey's most famous work, Democracy and Education (2016), it is important to consider Dewey's role in public scholarship to educate for peace. Critical to an in-depth understanding of Dewey is recognition that the early twentieth century marked a transformation period in his views about war and peace. This paper addressed Dewey's less known political and social ideas during the rise of the "modern" American peace movement. In addition, Dewey's views of the role of education in a globalizing world are discussed. The research presented directly reflects global conflicts following World War 1, while highlighting the interplay of social analysis as welll as disparity between war and peace.

ADAR-mediated messenger RNA editing: analysis at the proteome level
Authors: Kliuchnikova A.A. , Kuznetsova K.G. , Moshkovskii S.A.
Published: October 2016

Post-transcriptional RNA editing by RNA specific adenosine deaminases (ADAR) was discovered more than two decades ago. It provides additional regulation of animal and human transcriptome. In most cases, it occurs in nervous tissue, where, as a result of the reaction, adenosine is converted to inosine in particular sites of RNA. In case of messenger RNA, during translation, inosine is recognized as guanine leading to amino acid substitutions. Those substitutions are shown to affect substantially the function of proteins, e.g. subunits of the glutamate receptor. Nevertheless, most of the works on RNA editing use analysis of nucleic acids, even those which deal with a coding RNA. In this review, we propose the use of shotgun proteomics based on high resolution liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry for investigation of the effects of RNA editing at the protein level. Recently developed methods of big data processing allow combining the results of various omics techniques, being referred to as proteogenomics. The proposed proteogenomic approach for the analysis of RNA editing at the protein level will directly conduct a qualitative and quantitative analysis of protein edited sequences in the scale of whole proteome.

Effects of Macrolide Antibiotics on Th1 Cell and Th2 Cell Development Mediated by Langerhans Cells
Authors: Matsui Katsuhiko , Tamai Saki , Ikeda Reiko
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT - Background: It is well known that Langerhans cells (LCs) work as the primary orchestrators in the polarization of the immune milieu towards a T helper type 1 (Th1) or a Th2 immune response. In this study, we investigated the effects of macrolide antibiotics on Th1 cell and Th2 cell development mediated by LCs. Methods: LC-like dendritic cells (LDCs) were generated from mouse bone marrow cells and used as substitutes for LCs. Mice were primed with ovalbumin (OVA) peptide-pulsed LDCs, which had been treated with each macrolide antibiotic, via the hind footpad. After 5 days, the cytokine response in the popliteal lymph nodes was investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of cell surface molecules on LDCs was investigated using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Results: Injection of OVA peptide-pulsed LDCs, which had been treated with josamycin or spiramycin, inhibited Th2 cell development as represented by down-regulation of interleukin (IL)-4 production as well as Th1 cell development as represented by down-regulation of interferon (IFN)-g production. This inhibition of Th1 cell and Th2 cell development was associated with suppression of CD86 and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein (TIM)-4 expression, respectively, in LDCs. Furthermore, Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from skin lesions of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) were more susceptible to josamycin than to spiramycin. Conclusions:  These results suggest that topical application of josamycin to AD lesions colonized with S. aureus would be beneficial for control of AD by acting on both superficial S. aureus and epidermal LCs, and inhibiting the development of Th2 cells.
Anthocyanin composition in Carignan and Grenache grapes and wines as affected by plant vigor and bunch uniformity
Authors: Edo-Roca Maite , Nadal Montse , Sánchez-Ortiz Antoni , Lampreave Míriam
Published: October 2016

Aims: To determine the anthocyanin composition in Carignan and Grenache grapes and wines as affected by vintage, plant vigor and bunch uniformity.

Methods and results: Anthocyanin composition of Carignan and Grenache grapes and wines were analysed by chromatographic techniques considering the influence of two different vigor levels over two vintages. The heterogeneity in the distal parts of the bunch was also taken into account. Warm vintage was better for the accumulation of anthocyanins. However, each variety responsed differently according to vine vigor. Grenache anthocyanin synthesis decreased in low vigor (weak) vines, whereas Carignan anthocyanin content depended on vigor, berry size, rootstock and vintage. In both varieties, but more significantly in Carignan, there was a tendency to accumulate acylated anthocyanins in bottom berries.

Conclusion: Carignan anthocyanin concentration was increased in low vigor plants, where clusters received greater sun exposure, unlike Grenache, where better canopy management in the fruit zone is necessary. Avoiding the poor growing conditions for Grenache in the region and improving the canopy/fruit ratio deserves careful consideration in order to reach optimal anthocyanin content.

Significance and impact of the study: Knowledge of anthocyanin accumulation according to both plant vigor and bunch ripeness is of major importance to determine the optimal harvest date for each cultivar and thus improve the quality of wine.
Analysis of viticultural potential and delineation of homogeneous viticultural zones in a temperate climate region of Romania
Authors: Irimia Liviu Mihai , Patriche Cristian V. , Quénol Hervé
Published: October 2016

Aims : To characterize the viticultural potential and delineate homogeneous viticultural zones in the Huşi wine growing region (Romania) in order to provide necessary information for viticultural zoning.

Methods and results: The methodology is based on a Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis of 15 ecological parameters, representative of the topography, climate and soils in temperate continental climate vineyards. Three homogeneous viticultural zones were identified : one suitable for quality white wines and red table wines ; one suitable for quality white wines ; and one suitable for white table wines, sparkling wines and wines for distillates.

Conclusion: In order to characterize the viticultural potential, it is necessary to assess the suitability of all ecological factors that influence the quality of the grapes. Omitting one ecological factor may lead to erroneous results in suitability assessment. Climate suitability determines altitudinal differentiation of the viticultural potential, while topographical and pedological suitability determines a horizontal differentiation.

Significance and impact of the study: This study provides the necessary information for viticultural zoning in the Huşi wine growing region in Romania. The methodology allows to evaluate viticultural potential and to delineate homogeneous viticultural zones in wine growing regions with a temperate continental climate.

Authors: Ocete Rafael , Valle José Manuel , Izquierdo María Ángeles Pérez , López María Ángeles , Failla Osvaldo , Vargas Alba María , Santana Juan Carlos , Hidalgo Elena , Arroyo-Garcia Rosa
Published: October 2016

Aim: Assessing levels and patterns of population genetic variation in combination with morphological characterization represents an important step for evaluating rare or endangered species and determining appropriate conservation strategies. This is particularly important for ensuring the preservation of valuable genetic variation in wild relatives of crops, which could provide beneficial alleles for plant breeding and improvement.

Methods and results: A survey of the relict wild grapevine population was carried out in the province of Burgos, in the Castilian and Leon region (Spain). Genetic diversity, inbreeding extent and possible hybridization with cultivated grapevine were investigated using molecular markers. Results showed that overall, genetic diversity was low but inbreeding was not present. Private alleles were found in the Burgos wild genotypes, suggesting the potential value of these accessions. Comparisons of morphological traits and molecular features among the wild population showed a close genetic relationship among them and no genetic relationship to Castilian grapevine cultivars.

Conclusion: The genetic differentiation observed between wild and domesticated forms of grapevine points out the interest to characterize and conserve the existing populations as a source of novel alleles for future grapevine breeding programs. At the same time, the observed enological differences between wild and domesticated grapevine populations could be interesting for the wine industry. Finally, given that these populations are at severe risk of extinction, we recommend that this population be prioritized for ex situ and possibly on-farm conservation as well as in situ protection.

Significance and impact of the study: This work showed the existence of novel alleles and enological characters in natural wild grapevine populations, which represents a first step in the potential contribution of these natural populations to viticulture, suggesting a possible role in future breeding programs.
High Resolution Melting (HRM) analysis on VviDXS to reveal muscats or non-muscats among autochthonous Greek wine producing grape varieties
Authors: Merkouropoulos Georgios , Ganopoulos Ioannis , Doulis Andreas , Nikolaou Nikolaos , Mylona Photini
Published: October 2016

Muscat flavor in grapes is associated with a substitution of a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) located at position 1822 (SNP1822G>T) within the coding sequence of the VviDXS gene. Various methods, including the use of High Resolution Melting (HRM) analysis, have been suggested to discriminate different SNP allelic states including the molecular discrimination of the muscat from the non-muscat grape varieties, thus providing the ability to minimize lengthy grape breeding programs when selecting for grape muscat flavor before the fruit maturity stage. HRM analysis on the SNP1822 was performed on a group of 128 wine producing grape varieties in order to separate the muscat from the non-muscat genotypes before they are used for further breeding activities. This approach could be used either as a single-step prescreening method or in accordance with recently published methodology to elucidate on varietal characterization and authentication as these are important requirements concerning nurseries, growers and winemakers.
