Published: April 2016

Development of innovative territorial clusters in Russia is one of conditions of increase of competitiveness of domestic economy and an intensification of mechanisms of public and private partnership. The innovative territorial cluster includes the organizations of regional innovative system which can serve some clusters. The state can actually act in quality "leading and directing" forces at development of a cluster, can create demand for production and the services made in a cluster or favorable conditions for improvement of quality of educational services, the research block in a cluster.

Clustering gives a powerful impetus to the development of regions and businesses. The main driving

force of this process is innovation. However, the main problem hindering the normal functioning - lack of

coordination between members of the cluster.
Distilling the Wisdom of Crowds: Prediction Markets vs. Prediction Polls
Authors: Atanasov Pavel , Rescober Phillip , Stone Eric , Swift Samuel A. , Servan-Schreiber Emile , Tetlock Philip , Ungar Lyle , Mellers Barbara
Published: April 2016

We report the results of the first large-scale, long-term, experimental test between two crowdsourcing methods: prediction markets and prediction polls. More than 2,400 participants made forecasts on 261 events over two seasons of a geopolitical prediction tournament. Forecasters were randomly assigned to either prediction markets (continuous double auction markets) in which they were ranked based on earnings, or prediction polls in which they submitted probability judgments, independently or in teams, and were ranked based on Brier scores. In both seasons of the tournament, prices from the prediction market were more accurate than the simple mean of forecasts from prediction polls. However, team prediction polls outperformed prediction markets when forecasts were statistically aggregated using temporal decay, differential weighting based on past performance, and recalibration. The biggest advantage of prediction polls was at the beginning of long-duration questions. Results suggest that prediction polls with proper scoring feedback, collaboration features, and statistical aggregation are an attractive alternative to prediction markets for distilling the wisdom of crowds.

Raising HCAs' awareness of the healthcare provision needs of people living with hearing loss
Authors: Fahmi Syeda , Hayes Catherine
Published: April 2016

It is established that access to healthcare services is an important indicator of health inequalities, as well as a contributing cause. In this respect, the deaf population, which consists of Deaf, deaf, hard of hearing or deafened, is more likely to experience worse health outcomes than the general population. Examining the barriers that face deaf people seeking to access healthcare services in the UK is one means of addressing issues and raising awareness for HCAs.

A review of literature in the field reveals that deaf people face significant challenges in accessing healthcare services, in the context of limited provision of sign language interpreters, inadequate deaf awareness of health professionals and reception staff and booking appointments. The deaf population faces barriers to access healthcare services, which has an adverse impact on their health and wellbeing.

Accessing healthcare without barriers is an important right for those with disabilities, so it follows that concerted efforts need to be maintained to allow deaf people to achieve equality of access in health. Healthcare assistants play a pivotal role in improving this situation, first by being able to support people with hearing loss in their everyday interactions with them in healthcare practice and second by raising awareness of those around them.
Healthcare law and ethics, 2: meanings, differences and similarities
Authors: Barber Chris
Published: April 2016

Parliamentary bills, acts/laws, reports and associated documents, along with the ethics and morality that arguably underpin these documents, can be difficult concepts to grasp and understand.

This article seeks to explore and present definitions of these concepts, along with the suggestion that there may be both subtle and significant differences between law and ethics.

Modelo matemático para planejamento da atracação de navios sob o contrato de Charter Party
Authors: Vervloet Hugo Leonardo Louzada , Rosa Rodrigo Alvarenga
Published: April 2016

Navios de carga granel são usualmente contratados sob o contrato Charter Party entre o armador e o embarcador. Neste contrato é estabelecido um tempo limite de permanência do navio no porto. Caso o navio permaneça abaixo deste tempo, o embarcador recebe um prêmio financeiro e, caso contrário, paga uma multa ao armador. Após a revisão bibliográfica, não foram encontrados artigos sobre o Problema de Alocação de Berços (PAB) que tratassem das questões referentes a prêmio e multa sob a ótica do contrato Charter Party com o objetivo de maximizar o resultado financeiro do embarcador, calculado como prêmio menos multa. Assim, um modelo matemático é proposto para o PAB com considerações sobre a Charter Party e, instâncias baseadas no Porto de Tubarão foram desenvolvidas e executadas no CPLEX 12.6. Os resultados mostraram a aplicabilidade do modelo na programação dos navios e também diretrizes para apoiar a negociação deste tipo de contrato.
Signaling through Price and Quality to Consumers with Fairness Concerns
Authors: Guo Xiaomeng , Jiang Baojun
Published: April 2016

Consumers with inequity aversion experience some psychological disutility when buying products at unfair prices. Empirical evidence and behavioral research have suggested that consumers may perceive a firm's price as unfair when its profit margin is too high relative to consumers’ surplus. The authors develop an analytical framework to investigate the effects of the consumer's inequity aversion on a firm's optimal pricing and quality decisions. They highlight several findings. First, because of the consumer's uncertainty about the firm's cost, the firm's optimal quality may be nonmonotone with respect to the degree of the consumer's inequity aversion. Second, stronger inequity aversion makes an inefficient firm worse off but may benefit an efficient firm. Third, stronger inequity aversion by the consumer can actually lower the consumer's monetary payoff (economic surplus) because the firm may reduce its quality to a greater extent than it reduces its price. Finally, as the expected cost efficiency in the market decreases, both the expected quality and the social surplus may increase rather than decrease.
Involutions of varieties and Rost’s degree formula
Authors: Haution Olivier
Published: April 2016

To an algebraic variety equipped with an involution,
we associate a cycle class in the modulo two Chow group of its fixed locus. This association is functorial with respect to proper morphisms having a degree and preserving the involutions. Specialising to the exchange involution of the square of a complete variety, we obtain Rost’s degree formula in arbitrary characteristic (this formula was proved by Rost and Merkurjev in characteristic not two).
Race, Class, Religion and the Southern Party System: A Field Report from Dixie
Authors: Hood M.V.
Published: April 2016

The purpose of this essay is to provide a contemporary examination of the political party system in the Southern US. In doing so, an assessment is undertaken to determine which cleavage line – race, class, or religion – does the best job of explaining the division between Republicans and Democrats in the region. Using survey research data from the 2012 Cooperative Congressional Election Study three multivariate models are employed to study partisan affiliation, presidential voting, and voting in US Senate elections. The results indicate that race, especially the Black-White dichotomy, is the largest dividing line between the Republican and Democratic Parties in the region. In fact, in terms of party identification race dwarfs the effects of religion and class. As related to presidential and Senate voting behavior race continues to exert a significant influence, even after controlling for partisan identification. Conversely, class and religion produced minimal or no effects in models of vote choice. In conclusion, it would appear that the contemporary Southern political landscape, like its predecessor, continues to be defined by racial divisions.
Reflections on the Achievements of Sidney Verba
Authors: Andersen Kristi
Published: April 2016

Sidney Verba’s distinguished career, particularly his books, demonstrate a talent for finding superb collaborators, a deep normative concern about the health of civil society, and a commitment to using social science methods to understand the working of democratic systems. A re-reading of these books shows the development of an increasingly complex theory of political participation undergirding a complex portrait of American representative democracy, with all its flaws and strengths.

Transformable Goods and the Limits of What Money Can Buy
Authors: Dick David G.
Published: April 2016

There are some things money literally cannot buy. Invariably transformable goods are such things because when they are exchanged for money, they become something else. These goods are destroyed rather than transferred in monetary exchanges. They mark out an impassable limit beyond which money and the market cannot reach. They cannot be for sale, in the strongest and most literal sense. Variably transformable goods are similar. They can be destroyed when offered or exchanged for money, but they differ in their ability to sometimes emerge from financial transactions intact. Analyzing transformable goods reveals informative and surprising results. Like other goods and commodities, they are agent relative, defined by the way particular agents value them. Inside the same transaction, a good could be transformable for one agent and not another, depending on how and what these agents value in the transaction. Applying this conceptual framework can reveal otherwise obscure facets of existing and future debates about the ethics and limits of markets. To demonstrate this, the framework is here applied to Richard Titmuss’s arguments about markets in blood, clarifying and illuminating some of his most confusing claims. Applying this framework to other debates may reveal even more striking results.
Innovative Concepts in the Restoration of St Martin Church at Meise (B)
Authors: Van Gemert Dionys , Heirman Gert , Geeroms Dirk
Published: April 2016

The restoration of St Martin church started end of the 1990’s by lacing-up the building with stabilizing steel frames. The layout of the lacing-up frames was inspired by the assumption that the observed cracks and deformations in the building were caused by differential settlements of the foundations. Further investigations during the final restoration works in 2011–2012 revealed that cracks were caused by inappropriate foundation interventions as part of an earlier restoration project in 1949–1950 as well as by non-balanced forces from the vaults. Based on the new findings the global restoration concept was adapted and strongly simplified.
A critical analysis on palm kernel shell from oil palm industry as a feedstock for solid char production
Authors: Nizamuddin Sabzoi , Shrestha Siddhartha , Athar Saadia , Ali Brahim Si , Siddiqui Muhammad Ahmar
Published: April 2016

Palm kernel shell (PKS) is one of the greatly abundant residues in the palm oil industry. It possesses physiochemical characteristics that build in it a potential to serve the production of valuable products, namely, bio-fuels such as char, bio-oil, and bio-gas. This paper presents the properties of PKS as a biomass feed for the production of char. Characterizations of PKS in terms of proximate and ultimate analyses, chemical composition, and higher heating value (HHV in terms of MJ/kg) are presented and consequently compared to different oil palm biomass such as empty fruit bunch (EFB), fiber, fronds, and trunks. To illustrate and signify stability, the aforementioned characteristics are discussed for PKS-char, along with further comparison with EFB-char and coal. In addition, recent advances in char production methods from PKS are presented and compared. Simultaneously, future prospects and major challenges towards the utilization of PKS for the production of char are also addressed.
Conservation Laws and Mixed-Type Vector Solitons for the 3-Coupled Variable-Coefficient Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations in Inhomogeneous Multicomponent Optical Fibre
Authors: Chai Jun , Tian Bo , Wang Yu-Feng , Sun Wen-Rong , Wang Yun-Po
Published: April 2016

In this article, the propagation and collision of vector solitons are investigated from the 3-coupled variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equations, which describe the amplification or attenuation of the picosecond pulses in the inhomogeneous multicomponent optical fibre with different frequencies or polarizations. On the basis of the Lax pair, infinitely-many conservation laws are obtained. Under an integrability constraint among the variable coefficients for the group velocity dispersion (GVD), nonlinearity and fibre gain/loss, and two mixed-type (2-bright-1-dark and 1-bright-2-dark) vector one- and two-soliton solutions are derived via the Hirota method and symbolic computation. Influence of the variable coefficients for the GVD and nonlinearity on the vector soliton amplitudes and velocities is analysed. Through the asymptotic and graphic analysis, bound states and elastic and inelastic collisions between the vector two solitons are investigated: Not only the elastic but also inelastic collision between the 2-bright-1-dark vector two solitons can occur, whereas the collision between the 1-bright-2-dark vector two solitons is always elastic; for the bound states, the GVD and nonlinearity affect their types; with the GVD and nonlinearity being the constants, collision period decreases as the GVD increases but is independent of the nonlinearity.

The structure of Pb2As3.7(1)P10.3(1) was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data: space group P212121 (no. 19), a = 10.060(1), b = 10.500(1), c = 13.711(2) Å, and V = 1448.3(4) Å3. The structure is discussed relative to PbP7 focusing on the differences in the polyanionic substructures of the two polypnictides.
Cyclic expression of the voltage‐gated potassium channel KV10.1 promotes disassembly of the primary cilium
Authors: Sánchez Araceli , Urrego Diana , Pardo Luis A
Published: April 2016

The primary cilium, critical for morphogenic and growth factor signaling, is assembled upon cell cycle exit, but the links between ciliogenesis and cell cycle progression are unclear. KV10.1 is a voltage‐gated potassium channel frequently overexpressed in tumors. We have previously reported that expression of KV10.1 is temporally restricted to a time period immediately prior to mitosis in healthy cells. Here, we provide microscopical and biochemical evidence that KV10.1 localizes to the centrosome and the primary cilium and promotes ciliary disassembly. Interference with KV10.1 ciliary localization abolishes not only the effects on ciliary disassembly, but also KV10.1‐induced tumor progression in vivo. Conversely, upon knockdown of KV10.1, ciliary disassembly is impaired, proliferation is delayed, and proliferating cells show prominent primary cilia. Thus, modulation of ciliogenesis by KV10.1 can explain the influence of KV10.1 expression on the proliferation of normal cells and is likely to be a major mechanism underlying its tumorigenic effects.
Avaliação de possível interferência do tabagismo na ovoposição de larvas de Calliphoridae (Díptera) em carcaça de Mus musculus L. (Rodentia: Muriade) em São Paulo, SP

A estimativa do intervalo post-mortem (IPM) é uma das principais utilizações de insetos na perícia, que pode ser fundamentado no ciclo biológico, ecologia e distribuição geográfica de uma determinada espécie, bem como o comportamento de toda fauna presente em um corpo a fim de estimar o menor intervalo possível da ocorrência da morte. Diversos fatores podem interferir no ciclo de vida de um inseto, tais como temperatura, umidade e presença de substâncias nos tecidos de uma carcaça, promovendo, em certos casos, aceleração ou retardo neste ciclo afetando diretamente na estimativa do IPM. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a possível interferência do tabagismo na ovoposição de larvas de Calliphoridae (Díptera) em carcaça de Mus musculus L. (Rodentia: Muridae), na zona leste de São Paulo, SP, correlacionando os estágios de decomposição da carcaça e o desenvolvimento larval de moscas. A captura das larvas foi realizada durante o mês de outubro de 2014, as quais as carcaças foram acondicionadas em aparato adequado para coleta de insetos imaturos e adultos: uma contendo a carcaça tabagista e outra com a carcaça não fumante. No curso da decomposição da carcaça não fumante, foram capturados 37 indivíduos adultos da família Calliphoridae emergidos durante o processo de decomposição, ao passo que, na carcaça com fumígeno, não foi coletado nenhuma espécie emergida deste substrato, porém, a mesma apresentou uma decomposição até a fase de esqueletização em menor tempo comparado á carcaça controle, sugerindo assim, uma possível interferência do ato de tabagismo na estimativa do IPM.

Em um processo penal, a atribuição de responsabilidade passa, necessariamente, pela comprovação da ação/omissão e pela designação de autoria e materialidade. Em termos periciais, a atribuição do elemento subjetivo, qual seja a culpa lato sensu, não é objeto de discussão do laudo. Contudo, por meio do concatenamento dos atos e fatos relativos ao “modus operandi”, espera-se que a prova bem desenvolvida, baseada no método científico, componha o alicerce para a formação da convicção do julgador e, consequentemente, a respectiva dosagem da pena.
La Gran Guerra y sus impactos locales. Rosario, Argentina 1914-1920
Authors: Pascual Cecilia M. , Roldán Diego P.
Published: April 2016

Este artículo aborda el impacto de la Gran Guerra en la ciudad de Rosario, Argentina. Releva sus impactos económicos y los significados que se les asignaron. Analiza las formas en que los actores sociales intentaron hacer frente a los efectos críticos del conflicto mundial: encarecimiento de los productos primarios, desabastecimiento y desocupación. En este campo resultan importantes la producción de ferias francas, la construcción de mercados municipales y el abasto directo de productos primarios por parte del municipio. Ante la dimensión y duración del paro, las autoridades comenzaron a tejer nuevas estrategias para intervenir sobre este fenómeno. Se observa una transición de unas estrategias gubernamentales basadas en la represión y la segregación a otras emparentadas con la asistencia y la ayuda social. Si bien estas nuevas herramientas de intervención no tendieron a perdurar y manifestaron su carácter coyuntural y paliativo, una vez superada la crisis, hacia mediados de los años 1920, organizaron el debate sobre la producción de nuevas políticas municipales y del reformismo local.
La Primera Guerra Mundial. Un conflicto que llega desde el Este
Authors: Scocozza Carmen
Published: April 2016

El aniversario de la PGM representó una oportunidad para reflexionar sobre la actualidad de un conflicto que cambió radicalmente la fisionomía del mapa europeo. En particular, a través de una reconstrucción historiográfica que coloca las raíces de la guerra en el Este de Europa. Desde esta perspectiva, se quiere analizar cómo las problemáticas presentes en Europa Oriental se convirtieron en el detonante de una crisis generalizada. En ese orden, se pretende destacar que el conflicto tuvo un carácter más radical en los territorios herederos de políticas imperiales seculares y que produjo consecuencias desestabilizadoras que siguen afectando los equilibrios mundiales.

Hombres de letras en la provincia. Producción y comercio de libros en la República de Colombia, 1821-1874
Authors: Acevedo P. Rafael E.
Published: April 2016

Han sido pocos los estudios en la historiografía nacional sobre el proceso de producción y comercialización de libros en la República de Colombia durante el siglo xix. A partir del análisis de las actividades de los impresores, los escritores de textos, los comerciantes y las autoridades políticas en Cartagena, en este artículo se demostrará que la difusión de las letras en la sociedad republicana estuvo sujeta a la dinámica de impresión y comercialización de obras de educación impulsada por los hombres de letras desde las provincias. Esta dinámica se constituyó en la base inicial de la formación de un pequeño mercado editorial en la República y fue posible gracias a los usos de la libertad de imprenta, las demandas de la alfabetización y las negociaciones de los autores con los gobiernos locales y nacionales. Se busca así contribuir al análisis de un problema sobre el que existen escasos trabajos en el contexto regional colombiano.
Nos debemos a la tierra. El Campesino y la creación de una voz para el campo, 1958-1962

El artículo analiza los lenguajes y contenidos del semanario El Campesino, con el fin de establecer la forma como se materializó el esfuerzo de un sector de la elite política y eclesial del país en el comportamiento político de la población rural colombiana al inicio del Frente Nacional —1958-1962—. Argumentamos que tal esfuerzo implicó: primero, interpelar a diferentes individuos como miembros del “campesinado colombiano”, procurando moldear la voz de este sector como un sujeto político particular; segundo, difundir una narrativa según la cual los distintos sectores de la nación están vinculados entre sí a través de una cadena de deudas morales; y, tercero, hacer de los campesinos objeto de una triple interpelación (como cristianos, ciudadanos colombianos y productores agrícolas).

Se plantea el surgimiento del campo de historia ambiental urbana, como resultado del posicionamiento intelectual de numerosos historiadores ante el impacto ambiental urbano del desarrollo de la globalización capitalista a partir de la década de 1970 y sobre todo tras la caída del socialismo soviético. Abordar la historicidad de la relación sociedad-naturaleza en las ciudades, se convirtió en el objeto de este nuevo campo de estudios históricos. Para esto se realiza la revisión de la producción historiográfica disponible en América Latina, Estados Unidos y Europa que aborda aspectos ambientales urbanos en una perspectiva histórica, agrupándolos en cuatro enfoques analíticos de carácter interdisciplinario: redes de infraestructura, metabolismo socioeconómico y urbano, trayectorias dependientes y justicia ambiental.

Published: April 2016

Even within the historiographical lacunae that exists for the years between the Independence and the Regeneration, the two decades between Bolívar’s final military triumphs in Gran Colombia and the War of the Supremes are understudied. Thus, Gilberto Enrique Parada García’s examination of the law and the development of the New Granada legal code during these years is a much needed study on politics and public life at the beginning of the republic. The book focuses on the history of the legal system in the early republic, specifically the juridical and historical context within which the Penal Code of 1837 was developed. The study engages with legal theory and legal studies while remaining grounded in social and political history. Parts of the study have been published as individual articles and here are placed in a broader, more informative, discussion.

COLONIALIDAD DEL SABER Y CIENCIAS SOCIALES: UNA METODOLOGÍA PARA APREHENDER LOS IMAGINARIOS COLONIZADOS
Authors: Angel Baquero Sergio , Caicedo Ortiz Julián Andrés , Rico Noguera Juan Carlos
Published: April 2016

El propósito de este artículo es, antes que nada, la construcción de una herramienta metodológica que logre aprehender de los artículos o producciones escritas de las ciencias sociales la colonialidad del saber presente en muchas de ellas. Específicamente, este artículo examina la reproducción de saberes coloniales en la teoría política distribuida por las principales revistas académicas de la Ciencia Política en Colombia. El método utilizado para lograr develar tales saberes colonizados es, en primer lugar, el reconocimiento del tipo de teoría política que está siendo analizada, y en segundo lugar, el análisis de esos textos desde los conceptos de modernidad alteridad y el pensamiento posabismal. La información de tal ejercicio aparece sintetizada en tablas que exponen la reproducción de los saberes modernos/coloniales en los artículos examinados. El resultado que presenta este artículo es que, en efecto, la teoría política en Colombia se encuentra cooptada por la colonialidad del saber, invitando así a realizar un examen crítico del tipo de ciencia social que quiere producirse.
¿QUIÉNES SON LOS SIMPATIZANTES DE PODEMOS?
Authors: Recuero López Fátima
Published: April 2016

La situación económica y política por la que atraviesa España, con las importantes consecuencias generadas por la crisis económica y la desafección existente hacia el sistema político, ha propiciado el surgimiento de nuevas formaciones políticas como Podemos. Este partido, en su intento de conseguir un amplio apoyo social, ha tratado de adoptar un discurso transversal que supere las barreras ideológicas para llegar a todos los sectores sociales. Por ello, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar si los simpatizantes de Podemos son representativos del conjunto de la ciudadanía o si, por el contrario proceden principalmente de determinados grupos sociales. Los resultados muestran que los simpatizantes de esta formación responden a un determinado perfil de individuo, no siendo por tanto transversales.
Assessment of a Modified Rock Mass Classification System for Rock Slope Stability Analysis in the Q-system
Authors: Fereidooni Davood , Khanlari Gholam Reza , Heidari Mojtaba
Published: April 2016

This paper explores the applicability of a modified Q classification system and its component parameters for analysis and conclusion of site investigation data to estimate rock slope stability. Based on the literature, Q classification system has high applicable potential for evaluation of rock mass quality. Therefore, in this study, it was used with RMR and SMR rock mass classification systems to assess stability or instability of different rock slopes along the Hamedan-Ganjnameh-Tuyserkan road, Hamedan province west of Iran. Furthermore, a modified rock mass classification system namely Slope Quality Rating (SQR) was proposed based on the correction of the Q classification parameters and calculating some new parameters such as dip and strike of discontinuities and the method of rock excavation or blasting. For this purpose, the SMR and RMR rock mass classifications were also needed. By measuring SQR for different rock slopes, it will be possible to measure Slope Mass Rating (SMR).

 

Evaluación del sistema Q modificado de clasificación del macizo rocoso para el análisis de estabilidad de pendiente de roca

 

Resumen
Este artículo explora la aplicabilidad del sistema de clasificación Q modificado y sus parámetros para analizar y determinar la información estimada de estabilidad de pendiente de roca en el sitio determinado de estudio. Según la literatura, el sistema de clasificación Q tiene un alto potencial de aplicabilidad paral a evaluación de la calidad del macizo rocoso. En este estudio además se utilizó el sistema Q junto con los sistemas Índice de Masa de Pendiente (SMR) y Clasificación Geomecánica de Bienawski (RMR) para evaluar la estabilidad e inestabilidad de diferentes pendientes rocosas en la carretera Hamedan-Ganjnameh-Tuyserkan, de la provincia de Hamedan, en el Oeste de Irán. Además, se propone el Índice de Calidad de Pendiente (SQR), un sistema de clasificación de macizo rocoso modificado, a partir de la corrección de los parámetros de clasificación Q y el cálculo de nuevos parámetros como pendiente y caída de las discontinuidades y el método de excavación o explosión de la roca. Para esta propuesta también se utilizaron las clasificaciones SMR y RMR. La medición SQR en diferentes pendientes hizo posible el cálculo del sistema SMR.

Quality asessment of pangasius (Pangasius hypopthalmus) fillets stored in ice has been conducted. Fish were fasted for one day and slaughtered using bleeding techniques, drained for 10 minutes and filleted in various types of fillet: skin on, skinless, trimmed and untrimmed condition. Fillets were then washed and packed in vacuum plastics, stored in ice (0-4 ºC) for 18 days and observed for its sensory, chemical and microbiological parameters every 3 days. The sensory evaluation was conducted both for fresh or cooked fillets using scoring test on attribute of appearance, odor and texture as well as hedonic test. The chemical parameters observed were proximate; pH and Total Volatile Base (TVB); while microbiological parameter was Total Plate Count (TPC). Results showed that type of fillet did not significantly affect the quality of pangasius fillets. The quality of all treated fillet decreased in line with time of storage, all products were rejected after being stored for 18 days. At the time of rejection, the quality parameters: moisture content ranging from 80.1 to 81.3%, TVB from 11.1 to 11.5 mg N/100g and TPC from 1.41 to 4.6x105 CFU/ml. It is suggested to preserve pangasius fillets in ice less than 18 days.

The objective of the  study was to investigate  the effect of beet root  and carrot as filler and natural food colourant on the  chemical, physical  and sensory properties of kamaboko. Kamaboko from catfish (Clarias gariepinus) surimi was  processed with carrot (Daucus carota) and beet root (Beta vulgaris) at two concentrations (12 and 16%  of surimi weight). Assesment was done on chemical (proximate, pH), physical (folding test, WHC, gel strength and breaking force) properties as well as sensory evaluation. The results showed that kamaboko gel processed using beet root had better performance than kamaboko gel processed using carrot. Kamaboko processed  using beet root has protein content, folding test, water holding capacity, gel strength, breaking force, and sensory characteristics (appearance, colour, odor, texture, and taste)  better than kamaboko processed with carrot.  Increasing concentration of filler only affect on the gel strength and breaking force of kamaboko processed with beet root.  The best characteristic of kamaboko was obtained from kamaboko processed using beet root  with concentration of 12%. However, beet root was not recommended as colourant since the colour was not stable especially when stored at freezer.
Herbicide Control Strategies for Ventenata dubia in the Intermountain Pacific Northwest

Published: April 2016

Ventenata dubia is an exotic annual grass that has become increasingly invasive in various perennial grass systems throughout the Intermountain Pacific Northwest. Currently, little information is available to landowners about herbicide control options. In our first field study, we evaluated V. dubia control efficacy and perennial grass tolerance of herbicides applied pre-emergence (PRE) at two locations and as an early postemergence (EPOST) application at four different conservation reserve grasslands, with each grassland dominated by different perennial grass species. Treatments included flufenacet plus metribuzin (303 + 76 g ai ha−1 [0.27 + 0.07 lb ai ac−1]), propoxycarbazone-sodium (49 g ai ha−1 [0.04 lb ai ac−1]), rimsulfuron (53 g ai ha−1 [0.05 lb ai ac−1]), sulfosulfuron (53 g ai ha−1 [0.05 lb ai ac−1]), and imazapic (105 g ai ha−1 [0.09 lb ai ac−1]). Rimsulfuron and flufenacet plus metribuzin applied PRE provided > 90% control 10 mo after treatment (MAT). Rimsulfuron and sulfosulfuron applied EPOST provided > 90% control 9 MAT. Herbicide injury to bluebunch and intermediate wheatgrass was negligible across treatments. Imazapic and sulfosulfuron applied EPOST resulted in significant injury to smooth brome and timothy. In our second study, we addressed the following question: Will fall herbicide plus fertilizer treatments improve V. dubia control compared with herbicide treatments alone? We imposed fall herbicide treatments in main plots and fertilizer treatments (fall N, fall P, fall K, fall PK, spring N, NPK) in split plots at three study locations. Herbicide treatments resulted in high levels of V. dubia control. Differences in V. dubia abundance among fertilizer treatments were negligible 9 MAT. Within herbicide control plots, spring N and NPK treatments resulted in significant increases in perennial grass cover and decreases in V. dubia cover (9 MAT). This result indicates that spring N applications timed to the onset of perennial grass growth could be utilized as a component of an integrated management strategy for V. dubia in invaded perennial grass systems.

A field study was undertaken to investigate the influence of different management strategies on rigid ryegrass plant density and seedbank dynamics over 4 yr. Even though weed seedbank declined by 86% after oaten hay in year 1, the residual seedbank enabled rigid ryegrass to reinfest field peas the next year, and the population rebounded sharply when weed control relied solely on PPI trifluralin. However, use of POST clethodim followed by crop-topping for seed-set prevention of rigid ryegrass in field pea was highly effective and caused a further decline in the weed seedbank. Integration of effective management tactics over 3 yr significantly reduced rigid ryegrass weed and spike density (90 and 81%) in the final year of the 4-yr cropping sequence. Use of oaten hay in year 1, followed by effective weed control in field pea and wheat crops, depleted the high initial seedbank (4,820 seeds m−2) to moderate levels (< 200 seeds m−2) within 3 yr. Effective weed-management treatments depleted the rigid ryegrass seedbank, reduced in-crop weed infestation, and returned higher grain yields and profitability. The results of this study clearly show that large rigid ryegrass populations can be managed effectively without reducing crop productivity and profitability provided multiyear weed-management programs are implemented effectively.

Published: April 2016

Two-dimensional (2D) germanene crystals, the counterpart of graphene with honeycomb structure, will be an alternative semiconductor material for the next-generation nanoelectronic applications. In this study, we calculated the electronic structure, energy band gap and electron density of germanene using the tight-binding approach and analysed the results of the calculation. First, we developed the model based on the tight-binding theory, and then calculated the electronic structure of germanene. We obtained the 3D energy band structure in the first Brillouin zone for germanene, which has an open energy gap up to 128 meV at the Dirac points K and K′. This open gap shows that germanene is a non-metallic insulator. The first Brillouin zone is almost three times larger than that of graphene because germanene has a larger lattice constant (3·95 Å). The electron density quickly decreases with radial direction, while the density is larger in the center of the Brillouin zone in the angular direction.

Objectives: To describe the populational profile of adults affected by neck and upper limb pain (NULP) and to relate the characteristics of this type of pain with the predominantly physical, psychic and mixed workloads. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 2,297 individuals of > 20 years old, in Salvador-Brazil. A standardized questionnaire was applied to collect data about socio-demographic characteristics.  Workers were grouped according to predominantly physical, psychic and mixed workloads, and associations were verified against the characteristics of those affected in comparison to  individuals without reports of pain in the neck and upper limbs.  The prevalence of pain was estimated by the OR adjusted (95% CI). Univariate analyses and logistic regression were performed. Results: NULP was found in 222 individuals (9.47%), and predominated in women and widowers exposed to physical workloads; moderate alcohol consumption was the protector in this occupational condition; for psychic workloads, being a woman and belonging to high social class appeared to be associated with the presence of pain in the region; for mixed workloads, being single appeared as a factor with less chance of association with NULP. Conclusion: NULP presents high populational prevalence, and workloads can influence such conditions.  Being a woman or widow exposed to physical loads increase the risk of having NULP; When the worloads are psychic, the same occurs to women and people at higher social levels.  Moderate use of alcohol was associated with less chance of NULP for physical load and being single, for mixed load.
