3D MODELING FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE AND
VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION OF ITS HISTORICAL MEMORY
Authors: Campi M. , di Luggo A. , Scandurra S.
Published: February 2017

Abstract. The object of this paper is one of the most ancient palaces of Naples, Palazzo Penne, a fourteenth-century residential building located on a small high ground which originally was in the outer fringe of the built up area in a privileged position enabling to enjoy the landscape and gulf beauty. This building, which today is in the heart of the historical center, was the subject of an extensive analysis and documentary research, as well as of metric laser scanner survey carried out by the group researchers working at the Interdepartmental Centre of Research Urban Eco of the University of Naples Federico II. Starting from scan to bim systems the creation of a parametric model of the current state of the building is completed, by bringing the point cloud elements back to objects to which historical and construction data can be associated. Moreover starting from acquired data, the 3D model shows the reconstructive hypothesis of the original structure and the virtual reconstruction of the building based on traces found on-site and on the comparison with coeval creations allowing to properly hypothesize the design of point features.
THE RETURN OF THE SIEGESBURG –
3D-RECONSTRUCTION OF A DISAPPEARED AND FORGOTTEN MONUMENT
Authors: Deggim S. , Kersten T. P. , Lindstaedt M. , Hinrichsen N.
Published: February 2017

Abstract. Many Cultural Heritage (CH) monuments are destroyed in the past and they are often lost forever. If there is no contemporary metric documentation of the historic objects available, the monument and the information about this monument could be disappeared and forgotten forever. The Siegesburg (also known as Segeberg castle) located on the "Kalkberg" (Chalk Mountain) in Bad Segeberg in Northern Germany, is a typical example for such a monument, which was destroyed by Swedish troops at the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1644. This important monument was only documented by a few historic isometric maps, but the castle and even the later castle ruin were totally destructed and demolished over the last centuries and disappeared forever. Furthermore, this significant memorial is even forgotten in many people's mind. This contribution describes the physical and virtual return of the Siegesburg by 3D reconstruction using historic sources. The laboratory for Photogrammetry & Laser Scanning of the HafenCity University Hamburg conducted this project in co-operation with the museum Alt-Segeberger Bürgerhaus (Old-Segeberg town house). The process of the 3D reconstruction and visualisation of both the Kalkberg and the castle is presented in this paper.
3D VISUALIZATION AND PHOTO-REALISTIC RECONSTRUCTION
OF THE GREAT TEMPLE OF BEL
Authors: Denker A.
Published: February 2017

Abstract. The Great Temple of Bel in Palmyra was a unique edifice which had blended the well established lines of Greco-Roman architecture with the art and taste of the Orient. With the gilded bronze capitals of its 41 Corinthian columns it was the product of enormous effort and budget. It was the gem of a remarkable epoch of wealthy Palmyra and mighty Roma. With its splendidly decorated adyta ceilings it became a source of inspiration and imagination for Western architecture and decorative arts. While continuing to captivate the World, it was leveled and vanished as a grim result of conflict based vandalism. The aim of this work is to piece together this, the most eloquent and stupendous monument of the Roman East, from its ruins and reconstruct it as it was once extant. Its loss is irreplacable, but its photo-realistic reconstruction can offer some solace by waking the memories of the great temple as in the past. The lost reality of the Great Temple of Bel is revived here by digitally constructing its “ghost images".
3-DIMENSIONAL GEOMETRIC SURVEY AND STRUCTURAL MODELLING OF THE DOME OF PISA CATHEDRAL
Authors: Aita D. , Barsotti R. , Bennati S. , Caroti G. , Piemonte A.
Published: February 2017

Abstract. This paper aims to illustrate the preliminary results of a research project on the dome of Pisa Cathedral (Italy). The final objective of the present research is to achieve a deep understanding of the structural behaviour of the dome, through a detailed knowledge of its geometry and constituent materials, and by taking into account historical and architectural aspects as well. A reliable survey of the dome is the essential starting point for any further investigation and adequate structural modelling. Examination of the status quo on the surveys of the Cathedral dome shows that a detailed survey suitable for structural analysis is in fact lacking. For this reason, high-density and high-precision surveys have been planned, by considering that a different survey output is needed, according both to the type of structural model chosen and purposes to be achieved. Thus, both range-based (laser scanning) and image-based (3D Photogrammetry) survey methodologies have been used. This contribution introduces the first results concerning the shape of the dome derived from surveys. Furthermore, a comparison is made between such survey outputs and those available in the literature.
TOWARDS RADIOMETRICAL ALIGNMENT OF 3D POINT CLOUDS
Authors: Lauterbach H. A. , Borrmann D. , Nüchter A.
Published: February 2017

Abstract. 3D laser scanners are typically not able to collect color information. Therefore coloring is often done by projecting photos of an additional camera to the 3D scans. The capturing process is time consuming and therefore prone to changes in the environment. The appearance of the colored point cloud is mainly effected by changes of lighting conditions and corresponding camera settings. In case of panorama images these exposure variations are typically corrected by radiometrical aligning the input images to each other. In this paper we adopt existing methods for panorama optimization in order to correct the coloring of point clouds. Therefore corresponding pixels from overlapping images are selected by using geometrically closest points of the registered 3D scans and their neighboring pixels in the images. The dynamic range of images in raw format allows for correction of large exposure differences. Two experiments demonstrate the abilities of the approach.
PHOTOGRAMMETRIC ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL IMAGE REPOSITORIES FOR VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION IN THE FIELD OF DIGITAL HUMANITIES
Authors: Maiwald F. , Vietze T. , Schneider D. , Henze F. , Münster S. , Niebling F.
Published: February 2017

Abstract. Historical photographs contain high density of information and are of great importance as sources in humanities research. In addition to the semantic indexing of historical images based on metadata, it is also possible to reconstruct geometric information about the depicted objects or the camera position at the time of the recording by employing photogrammetric methods. The approach presented here is intended to investigate (semi-) automated photogrammetric reconstruction methods for heterogeneous collections of historical (city) photographs and photographic documentation for the use in the humanities, urban research and history sciences. From a photogrammetric point of view, these images are mostly digitized photographs. For a photogrammetric evaluation, therefore, the characteristics of scanned analog images with mostly unknown camera geometry, missing or minimal object information and low radiometric and geometric resolution have to be considered. In addition, these photographs have not been created specifically for documentation purposes and so the focus of these images is often not on the object to be evaluated. The image repositories must therefore be subjected to a preprocessing analysis of their photogrammetric usability. Investigations are carried out on the basis of a repository containing historical images of the Kronentor ("crown gate") of the Dresden Zwinger. The initial step was to assess the quality and condition of available images determining their appropriateness for generating three-dimensional point clouds from historical photos using a structure-from-motion evaluation (SfM). Then, the generated point clouds were assessed by comparing them with current measurement data of the same object.
COMPARING MULTI-SOURCE PHOTOGRAMMETRIC DATA DURING THE EXAMINATION OF VERTICALITY IN A MONUMENTAL TOWER
Authors: Markiewicz J. , Zawieska D. , Podlasiak P.
Published: February 2017

Abstract. This paper presents an analysis of source photogrammetric data in relation to the examination of verticality in a monumental tower. In the proposed data processing methodology, the geometric quality of the point clouds relating to the monumental tower of the castle in Iłżawas established by using terrestrial laser scanning (Z+F 5006h, Leica C10), terrestrial photographs and digital images sourced via unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) (Leica Aibot X6 Hexacopter). Tests were performed using the original software, developed by the authors, which allows for the automation of 3D point cloud processing. The software also facilitates the verification of the verticality of the tower and the assessment of the quality of utilized data.
MULTIPLE 3D APPROACHES FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL STUDY OF THE MEDIEVAL ABBEY OF CORMERY IN THE LOIRE VALLEY
Authors: Pouyet T.
Published: February 2017

Abstract. This paper will focus on the technical approaches used for a PhD thesis regarding architecture and spatial organization of benedict abbeys in Touraine in the Middle Ages, in particular the abbey of Cormery in the heart of the Loire Valley. Monastic space is approached in a diachronic way, from the early Middle Ages to the modern times using multi-sources data: architectural study, written sources, ancient maps, various iconographic documents… Many scales are used in the analysis, from the establishment of the abbeys in a territory to the scale of a building like the tower-entrance of the church of Cormery. These methodological axes have been developed in the research unit CITERES for many years and the 3D technology is now used to go further along in that field. The recording in 3D of the buildings of the abbey of Cormery allows us to work at the scale of the monastery and to produce useful data such as sections or orthoimages of the ground and the walls faces which are afterwards drawn and analysed. The study of these documents, crossed with the other historical sources, allowed us to emphasize the presence of walls older than what we thought and to discover construction elements that had not been recognized earlier and which enhance the debate about the construction date St Paul tower and associated the monastic church.
TOWARDS RECONSTRUCTING A DORIC COLUMN IN A VIRTUAL CONSTRUCTION
SITE
Authors: Bartzis D.
Published: February 2017

Abstract. This paper deals with the 3D reconstruction of ancient Greek architectural members, especially with the element of the Doric column. The case study for this project is the Choragic monument of Nicias on the South Slope of the Athenian Acropolis, from which a column drum, two capitals and smaller fragments are preserved. The first goal of this paper is to present some benefits of using 3D reconstruction methods not only in documentation but also in understanding of ancient Greek architectural members. The second goal is to take advantage of the produced point clouds. By using the Cloud Compare software, comparisons are made between the actual architectural members and an “ideal” point cloud of the whole column in its original form. Seeking for probable overlaps between the two point clouds could assist in estimating the original position of each member/fragment on the column. This method is expanded with more comparisons between the reference column model and other members/fragments around the Acropolis, which may have not yet been ascribed to the monument of Nicias.
Bridging the gap between observational oceanography and users
Authors: Eschenbach Christiane A.
Published: February 2017

Abstract. In order to ensure relevance and societal impact of research and to meet the various requirements of different target groups, the Coastal Observing System for Northern and Arctic Seas (COSYNA) developed and pursued a broad range of activities for knowledge transfer and stakeholder interaction. Potential user groups of data and data products include (but are not limited to) science, administration, renewable energies, engineering, tourism, and nature conservation. COSYNA data and data products are publicly accessible and available free of charge via the Internet (data portal; www.cosyna.de). The stakeholder interaction is integrated into the COSYNA product life cycle outlined here and the steps undertaken are exemplified for the product Surface Current Fields in the German Bight. Initial surveys revealed COSYNA's potential relevance in the national and international context. After the technological and mathematical realization of high-quality parameter fields, external experts evaluated the scientific value, informational value, innovative leap, cost/benefit aspects, operability, etc., of the data products. In order to improve products and their usability and to pave the way for future co-operation, interviews and workshops with potential users from the offshore wind energy industry were conducted. The stakeholder interaction process was successful, revealing relevant insights into user demands and usability of (possible) products. Analysis of data download provided some evidence for impact beyond academia. Other criteria for the increasingly demanded evaluation of the impact of coastal research are discussed. By sharing first-hand experiences, this study contributes to the emerging knowledge on integration of science and end users.
El modelo de acreditación del sistema sanitario público en Andalucía
Authors: Morales Valero Manuel , González González José María
Published: February 2017

La implantación del modelo de calidad propuesto por la Administración andaluza para gestionar su sistema sanitario se encuentra con múltiples resistencias que dificultan su asunción como herramienta de gestión. En este artículo, abordamos esta problemática partiendo de un análisis del discurso donde, apoyándonos en el concepto de repertorio interpretativo propuesto por Potter y Wetherell (1987). A continuación, presentamos los resultados de dicho análisis en cuanto a las características de los objetos más relevantes que hemos identificado. Estos objetos-organizacionales nos explican la naturaleza poliédrica de la realidad del sistema sanitario destacando, no obstante, la existencia de ciertos consensos parciales (aceptación generalizada del sistema sanitario como servicio público, ineficacia de los incentivos económicos como motivadores, o lo negativo de la intromisión de la política tradicional en la gestión pública) que podrían hacer posible la adopción de un modelo dialógico de gestión que incluya los distintos intereses presentes en el sistema hacia una misma dirección estratégica.

Affirmative Response Design to Polar Questions in Korean Political Campaign Debates
Authors: Bae Eun Young
Published: February 2017

This study investigates the different interactional uses of yey ‘yes’ type responses (YTRs) and kulehsupnita ‘be so’ type responses (KTRs) as affirmative responses to polar questions in political campaign debates. Using conversation analysis (CA) to examine YTRs and KTRs occurring in the cross-examination phase of six nationally televised 2012 primary debates (totaling 624 minutes) in South Korea, this study shows how candidates use YTRs and KTRs in different sequential contexts to save or bolster their positive political image. Candidates tended to deploy YTRs as weak affirmation tokens when faced with factual, adversarial propositions of polar questions potentially damaging to their political image, whereas KTRs were used as strong affirmation tokens to display their commitment to propositions of polar questions innocuous or even favorable to their political image. This study uses the concepts of markedness and type-conformity to explain the different interactional functions performed by YTRs and KTRs to achieve specific communicative goals. The findings contribute to cross-linguistic investigation of affirmative response design, and hold pedagogical value for teaching affirmative responses in Korean language classroom settings.
Democracia representativa y democracia deliberativa Un análisis teórico a partir del proceso de reestructuración de las tarifas de gas en Argentina
Authors: Piana Ricardo Sebastián , Córdoba Gabriela
Published: February 2017

En el presente artículo exponemos la primera crisis del reciente gobierno de Mauricio Macri a partir del fallo de la Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Nación respecto a las políticas de ajuste en las tarifas energéticas. En un contexto de fuerte retraso en el valor las tarifas de los servicios públicos, subsidiadas por el Estado argentino, el aumento fijado por el Ministerio de Energía y Minería a las tarifas del servicio de gas fue judicializado por distintas asociaciones de usuarios por incumplir, principalmente, uno de los postulados más valorados en las actuales políticas de gobierno abierto: la participación ciudadana en las políticas públicas.Luego de un recorrido teórico que da cuenta del cambio en los últimos años en torno a los valores y presupuestos de la democracia representativa hacia la democracia deliberativa, analizaremos el contexto que dio lugar al aumento de las tarifas, la ausencia de políticas participativas y las consideraciones del fallo de la Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Nación.Concluimos afirmando que la Audiencia Pública, como mecanismo, no es un mero requisito formal, sino que resulta sustancial para consolidar modelos democráticos en crisis.
Disolución por pérdidas o solicitud de concurso voluntario: la alternativa legal en las sociedades de capital españolas
Authors: Vázquez Cueto José Carlos
Published: February 2017

El presente trabajo trata sobre el conflicto normativo que se presenta en el Ordenamiento jurídico español en los supuestos de grave crisis empresarial de las sociedades de capital entre la solución prevista por el Derecho de sociedades (la disolución) y la que dispone el Derecho concursal (la petición de concurso de acreedores). Tal conflicto pone en juego el tema de la distribución de competencias entre los órganos sociales; un asunto de particular interés por lo que se refiere especialmente a los administradores, debido a la responsabilidad por deudas sociales a que pueden llegar a verse sometidos por la infracción de sus deberes legales en este punto.

De inwerkingtreding van inwerkingtredingsbepalingen
Authors: Borman T.C.
Published: February 2017

De inwerkingtreding van inwerkingtredingsbepalingen

Aanwijzing 176 van de Aanwijzingen voor de regelgeving schrijft voor dat de inwerkingtreding van bepalingen betreffende inwerkingtreding niet wordt geregeld. De toepassing van deze aanwijzing roept soms vragen op. De verhouding met de elders in de Aanwijzingen opgenomen modelinwerkingtredingsbepalingen lijkt niet in alle opzichten doordacht. Een door toenmalig VVD-senator Heijne Makkreel in 1984 aangezwengelde kwestie maakt duidelijk wat de vermoedelijke achtergrond is van aanwijzing 176. In de woorden van de toenmalige minister van Justitie Korthals Altes: het voorkomen van een vicieuze cirkel, omdat anders tot in het oneindige zou moeten worden bepaald wanneer de inwerkingtredingsbepaling van een inwerkingtredingsbepaling op haar beurt in werking zou moeten treden. Het lijkt aanbevelenswaardig om bij een komende herziening van de Aanwijzingen nog eens goed te kijken naar de verhouding tussen aanwijzing 176 en de in de Aanwijzingen opgenomen modelinwerkingtredingsbepalingen.
Molecular systematics and biogeography of the Hemigalinae civets (Mammalia, Carnivora)
Authors: Veron Géraldine , Bonillo Céline , Hassanin Alexandre , Jennings Andrew P.
Published: February 2017

Due to the difficulty in obtaining samples, the systematics of the Hemigalinae civets has not been fully resolved. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationships of the species and the intraspecific diversity within this subfamily, and to explore the environmental factors that might have affected its evolution. Using two mitochondrial and two nuclear markers, we confirmed that the Hemigalinae comprises Owston’s civet, the otter civet, Hose’s civet and the banded civet, but also the Sulawesi palm civet (formerly included in the Paradoxurinae). Our study showed that the banded and Owston’s civets are sister species, and suggested that Hose’s civet is sister to these two. Within the banded civet, we observed a high divergence between individuals from the Mentawai Islands and those from Sumatra and Borneo (while the latter two were not strongly divergent), likely due to the deep sea channel between the Mentawai Islands and Sumatra. Unexpectedly, the Sumatran and Peninsular Malaysian individuals were not closely related, despite the fact that these two regions have repeatedly been connected during the last glaciations. No high polymorphism was found within Owston’s civet, although three groups were obtained: southern China, northern Vietnam and central Vietnam, which might be related to Pleistocene climatic fluctuations.
Conhecimento das mulheres com insuficiência cardíaca

Published: February 2017

La insuficiencia cardíaca es responsable de una gran cantidad de internaciones y de altos costos hospitalarios. El presente estudio descriptivo se llevó a cabo en un hospital de cardiología de San Pablo con miras a caracterizar a las mujeres con insuficiencia cardíaca, su conocimiento sobre la enfermedad e identificar los diagnósticos y prescripciones de enfermería durante la internación. Los datos se recogieron con 44 mujeres internadas por insuficiencia cardíaca. La mayoría (26) tenía enseñanza básica incompleta (59,1%), 32 estaban en la menopausia (72,7%) y 26 tenían hipertensión (59,1%). La mayoría de las orientaciones de aquéllas (16) que tenían conocimiento sobre la enfermedad había sido transmitida por médicos (84,2%) y a 13 por enfermeros (68,4%). Los diagnósticos de enfermería más prevalentes fueron intolerancia a la actividad, movilidad física perjudicada y déficit en el autocuidado para el baño y la higiene. Las prescripciones de enfermería se referían al autocuidado con la higiene y la alimentación. Se requieren otras intervenciones relacionadas con las actividades educativas para cuidar de la salud, con énfasis en la actuación preventiva.

Published: February 2017

Nos sistemas de recuperação da informação automatizados, o uso adequado da linguagem documental é fundamental, pois possibilita a representação de conteúdos documentais compatíveis com as solicitações de pesquisas dos usuários em uma determinada área científica especializada. Por meio da metodologia quantitativa de Avaliação da Indexação, foi possível realizar um estudo diagnóstico da representação temática de livros em catálogos coletivos online de bibliotecas universitárias. O universo de pesquisa constituiu-se de 9 bibliotecas universitárias federais da Região Nordeste do Brasil. Os resultados apontam uma média de 46,99% de índice de consistência para o índice relaxado, enquanto que a média foi de 39,21% com o índice rígido. Como considerações finais, ainda são diversos os fatores que influenciam na qualidade da indexação, sendo necessários mais estudos teórico-metodológicos na área. Além disso, outros estudos complementares de outras regiões brasileiras possibilitariam um panorama atual e mais amplo da qualidade do processo de indexação em sistemas de recuperação da informação de bibliotecas universitárias no contexto brasileiro.
Estructura ocupacional argentina. ¿Qué ocultan los promedios? Análisis según regiones y escala urbana (2010)

Published: February 2017

El objetivo de este artículo consiste en indagar acerca de cierto comportamiento de la población en edad de trabajar con respecto a su participación en el mercado laboral, que se presentan en términos histórico a nivel nacional de manera regular. Específicamente nos referimos a las siguientes características: mayor tasa de población económica masculina que femenina, relación positiva entre nivel educativo y tasa de actividad laboral; y a la vinculación entre la edad de las personas y el grado de participación laboral –bajo nivel de participación en las edades de ingreso al mercado de trabajo y también en la edades próximas a la jubilación–. Sin embargo postulamos la hipótesis a verificar que a niveles de escalas espaciales menores, estos tres comportamientos agregados descriptos anteriormente, pierden la regularidad observada a nivel del total del país. Con respecto a la información estadística que utilizaremos en este artículo, corresponde al bloque ocupacional de los últimos tres Censos Nacionales de población en la Argentina,  llevado adelante en los años 1991, 2001 y  2010.

Second, the analysis illustrates how differences in coding and decoding processes influ-ence the stylistics of product descriptions and the choice of selling points in Denmark and in Britain.
Informationsmotorvejen og andre metaforer i computerfagsprog
Authors: Grevy Carlo
Published: February 2017

In this article I will discuss some of the results of the empirical results of my Ph.D.-project on metaphors in the specialiced languages, especially computer language. In the empirical work I have approximately collected 3000 metaphors in 5 numbers of PC Magazine Denmark, 1997-1998. Approximately 500 of these are highway metaphors. I will start with my critic of Lakoff & Johnson’s empirical basic, whom I assume talk about idealized metaphors and not real metaphors. I will argue, that we have to concern about how metaphors are used in restricted areas, if we want to say something essential about how metaphors really work. I also will introduce the term integrated metaphors, which is essential to understand how metaphors work: they don’t work isolated from each other, on the contrary: they work because they are integrated with other metaphors in the same semantic field. I will close this issue with a concrete discussion of the status of Lakoff & Johnson’s metaphors, where I will focus on Lakoff’s issue on the meta-phors used in the war in the Gulf.
Recipient Roles in Translation
Authors: Livbjerg Inge
Published: February 2017

In spite of being taught to focus on the communicative aspect of translation, semi-professional learners have difficulty in producing translations that are truly communicative. Drawing on actual observations, this paper argues that one reason why semi-professional translators find putting themselves in the place of the addressee so difficult is that translators can be said to have as many as six recipient roles to relate to, and that they find it difficult to tell the roles apart. Below, each of the roles is described in relation to the translator, and it is suggested that confronting the students with errors seen to be rooted in a confusion of recipient roles may help them to a better understand-ing of the concept of communicative translation, and of the processes and strategies behind it. It is further suggested that the effect of acquiring such understanding depends on a combination of expectancy-, knowledge- and personality factors.
A metaphor called "Mozart"
Authors: Kirkeby Ole Fogh
Published: February 2017

In the following essay I shall venture on the ocean of metaphor, reducing the rashness of this project by the use of the well-worn boat of philosophy. I shall ask four questions: 1. Is it possible to realise metaphor through thought, action or emotion? 2. What is the opposite of metaphor? 3. Does an alternative to metaphorical thinking exist? 4. Does an alternative metaphorical thinking exist? However, should my project fail, perhaps the raft of metaphor itself might carry me safe to the island ruled by Ariel and Prospero, and where other shipwrecked once were met with soft music.
La qualification juridique des swaps comme site d’une lutte globale pour le droit
Authors: Cornut St-Pierre Pascale
Published: February 2017

À partir d’une recherche d’archives dans la littérature produite par les praticiens du droit au sujet des swaps depuis les années 1980, l’article décrit la controverse au sujet de la nature des swaps et met en évidence le travail juridique qui a été déployé en soutien à l’innovation financière. La façon dont les swaps devaient être conceptualisés en droit était en effet une question ouverte, à laquelle de nombreux juristes ont tenté des réponses en puisant dans divers répertoires de l’argumentation juridique. Une telle controverse laisse voir une coproduction du droit, où le savoir des juristes de l’industrie financière est porteur d’un pouvoir d’infléchir la portée des normes existantes, un pouvoir d’autant plus significatif qu’il se déploie dans un milieu globalisé où l’autorité de l’État se fait plus fragmentée. L’article décrit comment les avocats de la finance ont globalement résisté au droit, en produisant systématiquement des arguments à propos de ce que les swaps n’étaient pas (ni valeurs mobilières, ni assurances, ni paris, etc.) et en les qualifiant plutôt d’instruments financiers sui generis. Ainsi détachés des principales catégories juridiques en vigueur, les swaps furent capables de croître relativement à l’abri des régimes destinés à encadrer la finance depuis les années 1930.
Assessment of Irrigation Water Quality of Kosovo Plain
Authors: Rizani Smajl , Laze Perparim , Ibraliu Alban
Published: February 2017

The study aims to assess the quality of irrigation water of the Kosovo Plain. Twelve water samples were collected from sampling points in the peak of dry season in July 2015. Samples were taken from rivers, canals and pumping stations. The contents of the samples have been analyzed. The classification used to assess qualities and the suitability of irrigation water is based on FAO’s and USSL’s classification criteria of irrigation water. The study revealed that important constituents which influence the quality of irrigation water such as: electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, sodium adsorption ratio, soluble sodium percentage, residual sodium bicarbonate, permeability index and Kelly’s ratio, were found within the permissible limits of water for irrigation purposes. Therefore, the surface water of this area is deemed to be of an excellent quality and its use is highly recommended for the irrigation of crops.
Organic Fruit Production in Serbia
Authors: Veličković Milovan , Golijan Jelena
Published: February 2017

Organic fruit production and demands for such a production have been growing in Europe and worldwide. Agroecological conditions in Serbia exceptionally favour the development of organic fruit production, particularly of berries with raspberry varieties ranking first (raspberry from Arilje make up to 30% of the total world production of this species). Areas with organic orchards in our country amount to 2208.05 ha, ranking second, just behind the areas with cereals. The greatest areas with organic orchards are located in the regions of southern and eastern Serbia (1244.22 ha), then in Šumadija and western Serbia (830.61 ha). The Toplica District is a leading district in this most important region with the area of 1152.62 ha. Considering the fact that Serbia provides excellent natural capacities for the production of organic fruit, producers are still underutilizing these available natural resources, which represents a significant challenge for the future improvement of organic fruit production.
Molds in Grain Feeds

In agriculture and the production of grain feeds, in spite of all the measures of protection and control, the presence of molds in grains is almost unavoidable. Molds contaminate the animal feed and/or nutrients during the growth of plants, as well as in all the handling operations - during harvest, mowing, picking, transport and storage. The comparative research on presence and identification of molds, shown in this paper, was carried out in two phases, in 2011 and 2014, on the samples of grains, stored and intended for animal nutrition. In total, 72 samples of different grains were examined, most of them related to maize (56) from a domestic production in the Banja Luka region. Mycological analysis i.e. quantification and determination of fungi in all samples revealed dominant presence of Fusarium species in both phases. The occurrence of Fusarium species in 2011 and 2014, expressed as relative values, were 61.11% and 80.55%, respectively.

Cilj rada je bio da se u trogodišnjem periodu ispita uticaj temperature vazduha i padavina na prinos i da se utvrde razlike između proučavanih sorti. Značajnija kolebanja u vrijednostima srednjih dnevnih temperatura vazduha u trogodišnjem periodu uticala su značajno na rodnost, što se manifestovalo u ispoljenim razlikama u prinosu između proučavanih sorti. Razlike u prinosu su konstatovane i u okviru ispitivanih godina. Rezultati istraživanja potvrdili su da je uticaj faktora sorte, godine, kao i njihove interakcije na proučavano obilježje bio statistički visoko značajan.

Osnovni međunarodni standardi koji definišu ciljeve, prioritete, mjere i obaveze, kako u očuvanju biološke raznovrsnosti, tako i u zaštiti genetičkih resursa u stočarstvu, odnosno zaštiti autohtonih rasa domaćih životinja, sadržani su u Globalnom akcionom planu Svjetske organizacije za hranu i poljoprivredu (FAO), kao i Konvenciji o biološkoj raznovrsnosti. Pristupanjem međunarodnim konvencijama, BiH/RS se obavezala da će uspostaviti sistem mjera kojim će se omogućiti očuvanje biološke raznovrsnosti i zaštitu autohtonih i ugroženih rasa domaćih životinja. Nepostojanje registra autohtonih rasa sa preciznim podacima o vrsti, brojnom stanju i lokacijama grla, onemogućava preduzimanje mjera zaštite i sprečavanje nelegalnog izvoza, čime se ugrožava njihov opstanak. Zakonska regulativa koja bi regulisala inventarizaciju i zaštitu genofonda još uvijek ne postoji, a u oblasti genetičke raznovrsnosti veoma mali broj naučnih i stručnih radova posvećuje pažnju o autohtonim rasama. Sa aspekta očuvanja animalnih genetičkih resursa potrebno je u što kraćem vremenskom roku predložiti i usvojiti Zakon o genetičkim resursima Republike Srpske, kao i izmjene i dopune Zakona o stočarstvu RS, te donijeti programe i pravilnike koji su od ključne važnosti za upravljanje genetičkim resursima u stočarstvu, a u skladu sa međunarodnim standardima.

Genetic signaling and redox homeostasis are required for proper growth of blood vessels. Here, we report a novel function of peroxiredoxin1 (Prdx1) in vascular development in zebrafish. Knockdown of prdx1 impairs the growth of intersegmental vessel and caudal vein plexus (CVP), and reduces the expression of vascular markers, thus suggesting a role for prdx1 in vasculature and indicating that the antioxidant function of prdx1 is important. We found that H2O2‐treated embryos also have CVP defects and observed synergistic effects when prdx1 knockdown was combined with H2O2 treatment. Moreover, N‐acetyl‐cysteine treatment rescues the vascular defects in prdx1 morphants. These results suggest that oxidative stress disturbs vascularization. Furthermore, we show that the regulation of prdx1 is mediated by Notch and BMP signals.
Revisit of rare earth element fractionation during chemical weathering and river sediment transport

Although rare earth element (REE) has been widely applied for provenance study and paleoenvironmental reconstruction, its mobility and fractionation during earth surface processes from weathering to sediment deposition remain more clarification. We investigated the REE fractionations during chemical weathering and river sediment transport based on the systematic observations from a granodiorite‐weathering profile and Mulanxi River sediments in southeast China. Two chemical phases (leachates and residues) were separated by 1 N HCl leaching and the leachates account for 20–70% of the bulk REE concentration. REEs in the weathering profile have been mobilized and fractionated to different extents during chemical weathering and pedogenesis. Remarkable cerium anomalies (Ce/Ce* = 0.1–10.6) occur during weathering as a result of coprecipitation with Mn (hydro)oxides in the profile, while poor or no Ce anomalies in the river sediments were observed. This contrasting feature sheds new light on the indication of Ce anomaly for redox change. The hydraulic sorting‐induced mineral redistribution can further homogenize the weathering and pedogenic alterations and thus weaken the REE fractionations in river sediments. The mineral assemblage is the ultimate control on REE composition, and the Mn‐Fe (hydro)oxides and secondary phosphate minerals are the main hosts of acid‐leachable REEs while the clay minerals could be important reservoirs for residual REEs. We thus suggest that the widely used REE proxies such as (LREE/HREE)UCC ratio in the residues is reliable for the indication of sediment provenance, while the ratio in the leachates can indicate the total weathering process to some extent.
Incipient mantle plume evolution: Constraints from ancient landscapes buried beneath the North Sea

Geological observations that constrain the history of mantle convection are sparse despite its importance in determining vertical and horizontal plate motions, plate rheology, and magmatism. We use a suite of geological and geophysical observations from the northern North Sea to constrain evolution of the incipient Paleocene‐Eocene Icelandic plume. Well data and a three‐dimensional seismic survey are used to reconstruct a 58–55 Ma landscape now buried ∼1.5 km beneath the seabed in the Bressay region. Geochemical analyses of cuttings from wells that intersect the landscape indicate the presence of angiosperm debris. These observations, combined with presence of coarse clastic material, interpreted beach ridges, and a large dendritic drainage network, indicate that this landscape formed subaerially. Longitudinal profiles of paleo‐rivers were extracted and inverted for an uplift rate history, indicating three distinct phases of uplift and total cumulative uplift of ∼350 m. Dinoflagellate cysts in the surrounding marine stratigraphy indicate that this terrestrial landscape formed in <3 Ma and was rapidly drowned. This uplift history is similar to that of a slightly older buried landscape in the Faeroe‐Shetland basin ∼400 km to the west. These records of vertical motion are consistent with pulses of anomalously hot asthenosphere spreading out from the incipient Icelandic plume. Using simple isostatic calculations, we estimate that the maximum thermal anomaly beneath Bressay was 50–100°C. Our observations suggest that a thermal anomaly departed the Icelandic plume around 57.4 ± 2.2 Ma at the latest and travelled with a velocity
150 km/Ma.

Microbathymetry data, in situ observations, and sampling along the 13°20′N and 13°20′N oceanic core complexes (OCCs) reveal mechanisms of detachment fault denudation at the seafloor, links between tectonic extension and mass wasting, and expose the nature of corrugations, ubiquitous at OCCs. In the initial stages of detachment faulting and high‐angle fault, scarps show extensive mass wasting that reduces their slope. Flexural rotation further lowers scarp slope, hinders mass wasting, resulting in morphologically complex chaotic terrain between the breakaway and the denuded corrugated surface. Extension and drag along the fault plane uplifts a wedge of hangingwall material (apron). The detachment surface emerges along a continuous moat that sheds rocks and covers it with unconsolidated rubble, while local slumping emplaces rubble ridges overlying corrugations. The detachment fault zone is a set of anostomosed slip planes, elongated in the along‐extension direction. Slip planes bind fault rock bodies defining the corrugations observed in microbathymetry and sonar. Fault planes with extension‐parallel stria are exposed along corrugation flanks, where the rubble cover is shed. Detachment fault rocks are primarily basalt fault breccia at 13°20′N OCC, and gabbro and peridotite at 13°30′N, demonstrating that brittle strain localization in shallow lithosphere form corrugations, regardless of lithologies in the detachment zone. Finally, faulting and volcanism dismember the 13°30′N OCC, with widespread present and past hydrothermal activity (Semenov fields), while the Irinovskoe hydrothermal field at the 13°20′N core complex suggests a magmatic source within the footwall. These results confirm the ubiquitous relationship between hydrothermal activity and oceanic detachment formation and evolution.
