Spremembe pokritosti dna z morskimi travniki v Semedelskem zalivu v obdobju 2009–2015 // The changes of seagrass meadows on the Semedela Bay seabed in the period 2009–2015
Authors: Poklar Mojca , Brečko Grubar Valentina
Published: March 2019

Prispevek predstavlja rezultate večletnega preučevanja razširjenosti in spreminjanja površine morskih travnikov in zaplat morskih trav v Semedelskem zalivu. V preteklosti je preučevanje morskih travnikov zahtevalo uporabo zamudnih metod in dalo le okvirne podatke, uporaba sodobnih načinov zajemanja podatkov in GIS-orodij pa omogoča obsežnejše raziskave in natančnejše podatke. S sonarskim snemanjem in fotografiranjem iz zraka smo pridobili podatke, ki smo jih s pomočjo geografskih informacijskih sistemov analizirali in ugotovili, da se površina dna v Semedelskem zalivu pokritega z morskimi travniki povečuje, kar kaže na izboljšanje kakovostnega stanja obalnega morja, zlasti na manjšo motnost vode in manjši dotok hranil s kopnega. Obseg večjih morskih travnikov se je v obdobju 2009–2015 povečal za 8,6 ha ter danes pokrivajo že 45,6 % dna. Morski travniki so se v največji meri povečali s pomikom spodnje meje v globlje dele zaliva in z razraščanjem posameznih zaplat v izlivnem območju Badaševice. The paper presents the results of a several-year long research of the range and changes in the extent of marine meadows and patches of seagrass in the Semedela Bay (Slovenia). In the past, such investigation required the use of time-consuming methods and resulted only in raw data, whereas the use of modern methods of collecting data and the GIS tools enable more extensive research and give more accurate data. Sonar mapping and air photography provided information which we analysed by means of Geographic Information Systems. We have established that the extent of the marine meadows in the Semedela Bay has been increasing, which indicates that the quality of the coastal seawater has improved; particularly its cloudiness has decreased and so has the inflow of nutrient matter from the land. The extent of larger marine meadows increased in the 2009–2015 period by 8.6 ha, so that nowadays they cover as much as 45.6 % of the seabed. They mostly have been enlarged by moving the lower border into deeper parts of the Semedela Bay and by growing individual patches in the mouth area of the river Badaševica.

Published: March 2019

This study evaluated the effect of increasing levels of leucaena forage in sorghum: forage. In addition to pure sorghum, it was evaluated different levels of inclusion of leucaena (15, 30 and 50%) at the time of ensiling. Forage was ensiled in PVC tubes (100 mm diameter, 500 mm length) under the density of 500 – 600 kg m-3, a total of 20 silos were prepared, which were opened 35 days after ensiling. There was no effect (p > 0.05) of leucaena inclusion levels for pH, water activity (Aw) and total ammonia nitrogen (total NH3-N). There was an increasing linear effect (p < 0.05) for the content of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and lignin that increased from 33.47 to 34.75%, 7.82 to 16.05% and from 7.29 to 9.93%, at the levels from 0 to 50% inclusion of leucaena, respectively. There was a decreasing linear effect (p < 0.05) for neutral detergent fiber corrected for ash and protein (NDFcp) and hemicellulose, which reduced from 56.65 to 48.37% and from 24.07 to 17.67% at the levels of 0 and 50% inclusion, respectively. For the ash content, there was a quadratic effect (p < 0.05), with a maximum at 8.3% with 8.9% inclusion of leucaena. The inclusion of up to 50% leucaena into sorghum silage is recommended, because, in addition to maintaining the fermentation quality, it also improved nutritional quality of sorghum silage.

his study aimed to evaluate the effect of different doses of nitrogen fertilization on the morphogenic, structural, productive and chemical composition of Urochloa decumbens (Stapf) R. D. Webster cv. Basilisk in a silvopastoral system with eucalyptus. The experimental treatments consisted of pastures of Basilisk cultivar, fertilized with 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 kg ha-1 year-1 of N, and intercropped with eucalyptus, clone GG 100 (Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla). The experimental arrangement followed a randomized block design with four replicates. The evaluated characteristics were: foliar appearance rate, phyllochron, leaf length, leaf elongation rate, leaf life span, foliar senescence rate, number of green leaves per tiller, number of senescent leaves per tiller, daily dry matter accumulation, dry matter production, crude protein, and neutral detergent fiber. In the conditions of the established silvopastoral system, nitrogen fertilization did not influence (p > 0.05) the morphogenic and structural characteristics of Basilisk cultivar, except for height (p < 0.01) and leaf: stem ratio (p = 0.02). The nitrogen fertilization of the Brachiaria grass with eucalyptus in the proposed structural arrangement does not modify (p > 0.05) the morphogenic characteristics. However, in ration to dry matter production, doses of up to 400 kg of N ha-1 are recommended.

Published: March 2019

The effect of 1α-OH-D3 in calcium-phosphorus (Ca-P) deficient diets on Japanese quail growth performance and tibia parameters was investigated. Eight-day-old (n = 160) newly hatched quails were weighed and randomly allocated to 20 groups, each with 4 replicate pens of 8 birds. Treatments were as follows: T1, Ca-P-adequate; T2,Ca-P-deficient; T3, Ca-P-deficient + 500 FTU kg-1 of phytase (Ph); T4, Ca-P-deficient diet + 5 µg kg-1 of 1α-OH-D3; T5,Ca-P-deficient + Ph + 5 µg kg-1 of 1α-OH-D3. Results showed that quails fed Ca-P-adequate had significantly higher body weight compared with quails fed Ca-P-deficient, Ca-P deficient supplemented with 1α-OH-D3 and Ca-P-deficient supplemented with 1α-OH-D3 and phytase, but did not differ from Ca-P-deficient diet supplemented with phytase. Quails fed Ca-P deficient were unable to achieve FCR comparable to quails fed Ca-P-adequate (p < 0.05). The percentage of bone ash data indicated that quails fed Ca-P-adequate had higher tibia ash compared with other groups except for quails fed Ca-P deficient diet supplemented with combination of 1α-OH-D3 and phytase. Quails fed Ca-P-adequate had higher tibia P compared with quails fed Ca-P-deficient. In conclusion, these results indicated that quails fed Ca-P-deficient supplemented with 5 µg kg-1 of 1α-OH-D3 in combination of 500 FTU kg-1 of phytase were able to achieve the same tibia ash and Ca compared with quails fed Ca-P-adequate.

Published: March 2019

This research aims to assess the performances of lactating Bedouin goat under arid conditions, focusing on the relationship of milk yield with body and udder morphology and growth traits. Fourteen goats and their kids were followed during early lactation (90 days post-partum). Mean daily milk yield was 0.56 kg. Milk fat, proteins, lactose, solids non-fat and minerals were respectively 34.9, 38.9, 48.8, 107 and 6.7 g L-1. Mean kids’ birth weight, adjusted body weight at 90 days of age and average daily gain were respectively 2 kg, 6.6 kg and 51.4 g day-1. Daily milk yield was correlated with goats’ body weight, withers height, rump height, udder width and udder circumference but not with linear udder score and growth performances. These results provide important data about the milk production of Bedouin goat emphasizing its correlation with body and udder morphological traits which can help to elaborate a specific breeding program for this breed.

Published: March 2019

The objective of this study was to evaluate different inclusion levels of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) from corn in the diet of quails. A total of 210 japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were distributed in a completely randomized design of five treatments and six replicates, with seven quails per experimental unit. The treatments used were: control feed; inclusion of 5, 10, 15 and 20% of DDGS. The variables assessed were: feed intake, feed conversion per dozen and egg mass, egg production, egg weight, specific gravity, yolk color and economic analysis. Data were analyzed by regression model and Dunnett’s test at 5% probability. For individual feed intake, laying rate, and feed conversion per egg mass, specific gravity and yolk color by color fan, there was effect caused by inclusion of DDGS (p < 0.05), but the other variables did not show significant difference. By Dunnett’s test, for feed intake, feed conversion per egg mass, specific gravity and digital colorimeter’s L parameter, there was effect (p < 0.05). As for economic analysis, DDGS presented low cost. It can be concluded that DDGS can be used in feed at a 20% level without impairing the performance and quality of quails eggs.

Published: March 2019

The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance, body morphometric measurements and testicular development in lambs fed with different rates of sunflower meal inclusion. The animals (24) were randomly distributed in treatments with 0, 10, 20 and 30% of sunflower meal in the dry matter of the diet, in six replicates, during 56 days of confinement. The addition of the coproduct at increasing dietary rates increased linearly the dry matter intake in the percentage of live weight and neutral detergent fiber. Despite this, there was a linear reduction in ether extract intake and chest width. On the other hand, there was no difference in daily, total and final weight gains. The body condition score; height of withers, croup and thorax; length of body and croup; width of fore croup, hind croup and chest; thoracic and neck diameters also did not change with the addition of the coproduct. The testicular measures 26.76; 6.11; 6.08; 5.22; 5.21; 4.80, and 4.81cm varied quadratically with the inclusion. Therefore, the inclusion of 30% of the coproduct changes nutrient intake and testicular biometry, but does not interfere in the body weight and development, being an economical alternative.

The objective was to evaluate the performance, egg quality, thermoregulation, body morphology and behavior of different categories of laying poultry. Two treatments with two genetic groups were used, 50 birds of the Hisex Brown strain and 50 birds of the Black Avifran chicken breed with 55 weeks, distributed in a completely randomized design with 10 replicates and 5 birds in each experimental unit. The variables egg weight, weight and percentage of albumen, yolk and shell, marketable eggs, specific gravity, color b *, egg / poultry production day-1 were not different (p > 0.05) between the two groups. Feed conversion by egg mass and dozen eggs, yolk color, L color, diameter, height, shell color presented a difference (p < 0.05), being higher values for the Black Avifran breed. The Black Chicken Avifran had higher body temperature; however, its performance and the quality of its eggs did not change. Black Chicken Avifran presented higher values in relation to body morphology, and better results in relation to the animal performance, therefore, it was more efficient, since it obtained a lower consumption and production equal to the lineage Hisex Brown, when created in the Cage – Free system.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the behavior of twenty buffalo heifers reared during the dry season on Marajó Island, Pará, Brazil. The animals were distributed into two groups, those with shade (WS) and those without shade (WOS). The experimental day was divided into six shifts: morning (6:00 to 9:55 a.m.), intermediate (10:00 a.m. to 1:55 p.m.), afternoon (2:00 to 5:55 p.m.), evening (6:00 to 9:55 p.m.), night (10:00 p.m. to 1:55 a.m.), and early morning (2:00 to 5:55 a.m.). The WS group was kept in silvipastoral system paddocks, while the WOS group was kept in unshaded paddocks. Climatic data were registered and temperature and humidity index (THI) were calculated. Behavior data such as grazing, rumination, idle time, and other activities (walking, defecating, mounting, drinking water, urinating, eating salt) were evaluated. The results showed that the THI was higher in the WOS group. Grazing time was higher in the WOS group than in the WS group in the intermediate shift (p < 0.05), while in the afternoon, evening, and early morning shifts, the WS group spent more time grazing than the WOS group. In the intermediate and early morning shifts, the WS group spent more time ruminating (p < 0.05); the WS group ruminated more than the WOS group. The WOS group had more idle time, especially in the evening and early morning shifts (p < 0.05), while the WS group had more idle time in the intermediate shift (p < 0.05). We conclude that buffaloes graze and ruminate more intensely when they are reared in a shaded system on the island of Marajó.

Published: March 2019

Context: Post-tumour resection lower limb salvage. Aim/Introduction: Resection of tumours of the femur and tibia around the knee and ankle joints results in large bony defects. Often arthrodesis is an alternative; in case, adequate functional motors cannot be preserved or due to economic constraints. Thus, in an immunocompromised patient, the vascularised fibula is the best form of reconstruction. The vascularised fibular flap (pedicled/free) can be used in combination with an allograft. We refer to such a combination reconstruction as ‘allocombo’. The vascularised fibular graft hypertrophies in due course of time, and till that period, the allograft provides the required mechanical strength to allow early ambulation. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective study of 24 cases of vascularised fibular graft for lower limb reconstruction was conducted from February 2003 to March 2014. The average defect size was 15.5 cm and the average length of fibula harvested was 24.35 cm. A total of 19 free fibular flaps and 5 pedicled fibula were done. Mean age was 26 years. Fibula was nestled in the allograft obtained from the tissue bank. Results: The mean follow-up time was 52 months. Free flap success rate was 96%. Successful healing was achieved at 45 ends (97.8%). Radiological evidence of union at osteotomy sites occurred at an average of 6.8 months. Eight patients eventually succumbed to disease. At the final follow-up, the mean Musculoskeletal Tumour Society functional score of the evaluable patients was 26 (range 20–30). Conclusions: Pedicled fibula is a good option if the defect is within 14 cm of the knee joint at the femoral end. The vessels have to curve around the fibular head, thus its removal improves the reach of the pedicle. The flap is easy to harvest with predictable vascular anatomy and it can provide a large amount of vascularised bone and skin paddle. It results in early ambulation, rehabilitation and reduced morbidity. We realised that fixation is easier and chances of vascular injury are less in free as compared to pedicled fibula.

Published: March 2019

Background: With the rise in working-age population, there has been notable economic growth in Indonesia. Along with it, there is an increase in expenditure for non-food items such as health-care service, without exception to plastic surgery practice. Aesthetic plastic surgery practice has gained its popularity in several other developing countries such as Brazil, Russia, India and China. Epidemiology report of private plastic surgery practice in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, will provide the evidence of increasing need for aesthetic plastic surgery practices as the basis for further improvement. Methods: This is a single-centre descriptive cross-sectional study with a total sampling method which included all patients registered at a private plastic surgery clinic between January 2008 and December 2016. Results: There were 1457 medical procedures. The majority (93.4%) of patients were female. More than 80% were surgical procedures, the most common ones were breast implant and blepharoplasty with the latter being similarly popular in both gender. The majority of the patients fell into 20–45-year-old group. Patients <20-year-old had undergone a more minor surgical procedure such as skin tumour and nevus excision or scar treatment while patients >45-year-old had more procedures with rejuvenation purpose. Conclusion: The epidemiology of private plastic surgery practice in an urban area of developing country resembles those in either developed or developing countries with a similar socio-demographic profile. This data can be further utilised for a more focused private plastic surgery practice improvement. The limitation however is that, the study is based on a single centre data.

Authors: Soni Suneet , Dodia Hardik
Published: March 2019

Introduction: Temporal recession in male-pattern baldness is common. The method of marking of temporal point practiced worldwide, described by Walter P. Unger, does not help in marking temporal triangle border in Indian population. We have found aesthetically superior way of marking temporal point and easy method of construction of lower border of temporal triangle. Case Series: The new marking was applied over 126 young male patients from March 2014 to December 2017; they were regularly followed up and results were observed. Conclusion: With the new method of marking, we found that the lower border of temporal triangle can be easily constructed and temporal point can be more aesthetically placed in Indian population.
Eigenvalue Optimisation on Flat Tori and Lattice Points in Anisotropically Expanding Domains
Authors: Lagacé Jean
Published: March 2019

This paper is concerned with the maximisation of the$k$-th eigenvalue of the Laplacian amongst flat tori of unit volume in dimension$d$as$k$goes to infinity. We show that in any dimension maximisers exist for any given$k$, but that any sequence of maximisers degenerates as$k$goes to infinity when the dimension is at most 10. Furthermore, we obtain specific upper and lower bounds for the injectivity radius of any sequence of maximisers. We also prove that flat Klein bottles maximising the$k$-th eigenvalue of the Laplacian exhibit the same behaviour. These results contrast with those obtained recently by Gittins and Larson, stating that sequences of optimal cuboids for either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions converge to the cube no matter the dimension. We obtain these results via Weyl asymptotics with explicit control of the remainder in terms of the injectivity radius. We reduce the problem at hand to counting lattice points inside anisotropically expanding domains, where we generalise methods of Yu. Kordyukov and A. Yakovlev by considering domains that expand at different rates in various directions.
From Steklov to Neumann and Beyond, via Robin: The Szegő Way
Authors: Freitas Pedro , Laugesen Richard S.
Published: March 2019

The second eigenvalue of the Robin Laplacian is shown to be maximal for the disk among simply-connected planar domains of fixed area when the Robin parameter is scaled by perimeter in the form$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}/L(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA})$, and$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$lies between$-2\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}$and$2\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}$. Corollaries include Szegő’s sharp upper bound on the second eigenvalue of the Neumann Laplacian under area normalization, and Weinstock’s inequality for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue for simply-connected domains of given perimeter.

The first Robin eigenvalue is maximal, under the same conditions, for the degenerate rectangle. When area normalization on the domain is changed to conformal mapping normalization and the Robin parameter is positive, the maximiser of the first eigenvalue changes back to the disk.
A importância da Serra das Torres para a conservação de aves no estado do ES
Authors: Simon José Eduardo , Peres Juliana , Angeli Ruschi Piero
Published: March 2019

The fauna composition of many ecosystems in the state of Espírito Santo is still insufficiently known, what makes hard to take decisions on the regional biodiversity conservation. The present paper presents the preliminary results on the ornithological studies developed at Serra das Torres, a region that contains one of the most expressive native forest remains of the southern Espírito Santo. A total of 120 species of birds, distributed among 37 families, were registered in the studied area, including endangered species (Penelope obscura,Strix huhula, Ramphodon naevius and Melanerpes flavifrons) as well as many endemic species of the Atlantic Forest. However, it is suggested that the local bird richness might be much higher. These data corroborate the premises that Serra das Torres is a major importance area for biological conservation and therefore its inclusion in some category of the National System of Conservation Units (SNUC) is recommended.

Published: March 2019

The transformations originated from the Brazilian psychiatric reform, has resulted in a bigger family implication on the patients treating process. This study approaches a process of noninstitutionalized psychiatry and the families’ duty for a person with mental disorder. A semi-structured interview was done with ten families of short stay users of the psychiatric hospital from the states health net. The information was qualitatively analyzed by content analysis and a farther formulation of categories. The result reaffirms the evidence of enormous family difficulties to relate with a mental disordered person in their quotidian. Besides that, it shows a distance between health professionals and the families of a person mentally disordered, making them feel defenseless, remaining doubtful, difficulties and social isolation towards the family.

Brazilian society is oriented for capitalism way of production. It ́s marked by deep ine-qualities at wealth distribution, which impose unworthy life conditions, in terms of em-ployment, housing, food, education, health to a large number of people. It is also no-ticed the absence of the State in guaranteeing these universal rights foreseen at Brazil-ian Constitution. Many people have the presence of the State only when they are ar-rested, fact noticed at supervised training course activities that led to the preparation of this work. Thus, this paper presents a description of the activities of supervised training course II, of the emphasis in Health Psychology Course AEV / FAESA. The supervised training course was performed in a female prison at Espírito Santo State, with 15 fe-male inmates of semi-open prison, aged 26-51 years. From the collected data it was noted that the inmates perceive different factors that influenced their involvement with illegal practices, among these, there were recurring reports of inmates about financial need in order to ensure their and their family livelihood and also the desire of a better purchasing power. Therefore, it is important reflecting about the aspects of capitalist society that can boost the involvement with crime, such as social inequality and con-sumerism.

A relatively common practice in mathematics education is the application of various numerical exercises to procedural setting calculation, which in many situations is necessary, but not suiti-cient for understanding the conceptual meaning of the subject. Considering the limitation of this approach, we used a methodological alternative, from a didactic sequence, in order to enhance the learning of certain concepts of differential and integral calculus. The sequence was proposed and implemented in Engineering courses offered at IFES - campus Cariacica and FAESA in seeking to facilitate the understanding of the definite integral using Riemann sum. The methodology involves the identification and selection of a solid revolution, determination and mathematical modeling generating region using a mathematical software, slicing generating region, generating corresponding cylindrical disks to these slices, the calculation of volumes of several slices using a spreadsheet, the mathematical modeling of the total volume using sum and the use of definite integrals to obtain the volume. During the development work it was evident that this teaching resource promotes interactions between students, dialogue and space for discussions, showing up as a facilitator of learning concepts and methods.

Green fiscal reforms would contribute to climate change mitigation, increase the economic efficiency of national tax systems and provide additional public revenues. Some countries in Latin America have already taken first steps towards green fiscal reforms. This outlook article provides an overview of the major challenges for the successful implementation of such reforms and discusses how they could be overcome.

Published: March 2019

The existing relations between the supply of air transport services and economic development have been a relevant area of research in transport management. This study aims to analyze the influence of the productive performance of some Brazilian exported commodities over the demand for regional passenger air transportation on the regions where those commodities are produced. In order to do so, this study used the linear regression method, checking what the relations are, if any exist, between the productive performance of those areas and the supply and demand for passenger seats in airports located in areas producing those commodities. The mathematical model used was validated with a control model that, in its turn, examined the correlation between macroeconomic and population aggregates and the global domestic demand for passenger air travel. The results show ambiguous relations between explicative and dependent variables, because in some localities the correlation was significantly higher than in others. The main contribution is to analyze how the regional aviation market is exposed to the productive performance on markets with high level of economic specialization.
Composition and light absorption of N-containing aromatic compounds in organic aerosols from laboratory biomass burning
Authors: Xie Mingjie , Chen Xi , Hays Michael D. , Holder Amara L.
Published: March 2019

Abstract. This study seeks to understand the compositional details of N-containing
aromatic compounds (NACs) emitted during biomass burning (BB) and their
contribution to light-absorbing organic carbon (OC), also termed brown carbon
(BrC). Three laboratory BB experiments were conducted with two United States pine
forest understory fuels typical of those consumed during prescribed fires.
During the experiments, submicron aerosol particles were collected on filter
media and subsequently extracted with methanol and examined for their optical
and chemical properties. Significant correlations (p<0.05) were
observed between BrC absorption and elemental carbon (EC)∕OC ratios for
individual burns data. However, the pooled experimental data indicated that
EC∕OC alone cannot explain the BB BrC absorption. Fourteen NAC formulas were
identified in the BB samples, most of which were also observed in simulated
secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from photooxidation of aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with
NOx. However, the molecular structures associated with the identical NAC
formula from BB and SOA are different. In this work, the identified NACs from
BB are featured by methoxy and cyanate groups and are predominately
generated during the flaming phase. The mass concentrations of identified
NACs were quantified using authentic and surrogate standards, and their
contributions to bulk light absorption of solvent-extractable OC were also
calculated. The contributions of identified NACs to organic matter (OM) and
BrC absorption were significantly higher in flaming-phase samples than those
in smoldering-phase samples, and they correlated with the EC∕OC ratio
(p<0.05) for both individual burns and pooled experimental data, indicating that
the formation of NACs from BB largely depends on burn conditions. The average
contributions of identified NACs to overall BrC absorption at 365 nm ranged
from 0.087±0.024 % to 1.22±0.54 %, which is 3–10 times higher than
their mass contributions to OM (0.023±0.0089 % to 0.18±0.067 %), so the NACs with light absorption identified in this work from BB
are likely strong BrC chromophores. Further studies are warranted to identify
more light-absorbing compounds to explain the unknown fraction (>98 %) of BB BrC absorption.

Abstract. Sand dunes and other active sands generally have a low content of fine grains
and, therefore, are not considered to be major dust sources in current
climate models. However, recent remote sensing studies have indicated that a
surprisingly large fraction of dust storms are generated from regions covered
by sand dunes, leading these studies to propose that sand dunes might be
globally relevant sources of dust. To help understand dust emissions from
sand dunes and other active sands, we present in situ field measurements of
dust emission under natural saltation from a coastal sand sheet at Oceano
Dunes in California. We find that saltation drives dust emissions from this
setting that are on the low end of the range in emissions produced by
non-sandy soils for similar wind speed. Laboratory analyses of sand samples
suggest that these emissions are produced by aeolian abrasion of feldspars
and removal of clay-mineral coatings on sand grain surfaces. We further find
that this emitted dust is substantially finer than dust emitted from
non-sandy soils, which could enhance its downwind impacts on human health,
the hydrological cycle, and climate.

Abstract. The main uncertainties regarding the estimation of changes in the Earth's
energy budget are related to the role of atmospheric aerosols. These changes
are caused by aerosol–radiation (ARIs) and aerosol–cloud interactions (ACIs),
which heavily depend on aerosol properties. Since the 1980s, many
international modeling initiatives have studied atmospheric aerosols and
their climate effects. Phase 3 of the Air Quality Modelling Evaluation
International Initiative (AQMEII) focuses on evaluating and intercomparing
regional and linked global/regional modeling systems by collaborating with
the Task Force on the Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution Phase 2 (HTAP2)
initiative. Within this framework, the main aim of this work is the
assessment of the representation of aerosol optical depth (AOD) and the
Ångström exponent (AE) in AQMEII Phase 3 simulations over Europe. The
evaluation was made using remote-sensing data from the Moderate Resolution
Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors aboard the Terra and Aqua
platforms, and the instruments belonging to the ground-based Aerosol
Robotic Network (AERONET) and the Maritime Aerosol Network (MAN). Overall,
the skills of AQMEII simulations when representing AOD (mean absolute errors
from 0.05 to 0.30) produced lower errors than for the AE (mean absolute
errors from 0.30 to 1). Regardless of the models or the emissions used,
models were skillful at representing the low and mean AOD values observed
(below 0.5). However, high values (around 1.0) were overpredicted for biomass
burning episodes, due to an underestimation in the common fires' emissions,
and were overestimated for coarse particles – principally desert dust – related
to the boundary conditions. Despite this behavior, the spatial and temporal
variability of AOD was better represented by all the models than AE
variability, which was strongly underestimated in all the simulations.
Noticeably, the impact of the model selection when representing aerosol
optical properties is higher than the use of different emission inventories.
On the other hand, the influence of ARIs and ACIs has a little visible impact
compared to the impact of the model used.
Conservative finite-volume forms of the Saint-Venant equations for hydrology and urban drainage
Authors: Hodges Ben R.
Published: March 2019

Abstract. New integral, finite-volume forms of the Saint-Venant equations for
one-dimensional (1-D) open-channel flow are derived. The new equations are in
the flux-gradient conservation form and transfer portions of both the
hydrostatic pressure force and the gravitational force from the source term
to the conservative flux term. This approach prevents irregular channel
topography from creating an inherently non-smooth source term for momentum.
The derivation introduces an analytical approximation of the free surface
across a finite-volume element (e.g., linear, parabolic) with a weighting
function for quadrature with bottom topography. This new
free-surface/topography approach provides a single term that approximates the
integrated piezometric pressure over a control volume that can be split
between the source and the conservative flux terms without introducing new
variables within the discretization. The resulting conservative finite-volume
equations are written entirely in terms of flow rates, cross-sectional areas,
and water surface elevations – without using the bottom
slope (S0). The new Saint-Venant equation form is (1) inherently
conservative, as compared to non-conservative finite-difference forms, and
(2) inherently well-balanced for irregular topography, as compared to
conservative finite-volume forms using the Cunge–Liggett approach that rely
on two integrations of topography. It is likely that this new equation form
will be more tractable for large-scale simulations of river networks and
urban drainage systems with highly variable topography as it ensures the
inhomogeneous source term of the momentum conservation equation is Lipschitz
smooth as long as the solution variables are smooth.
Pervasive cold ice within a temperate glacier – implications for glacier thermal regimes, sediment transport and foreland geomorphology

Abstract. This study suggests that cold-ice processes may be more
widespread than previously assumed, even within temperate glacial systems. We
present the first systematic mapping of cold ice at the snout of the
temperate glacier Midtdalsbreen, an outlet of the Hardangerjøkulen icefield
(Norway), from 43 line kilometres of ground-penetrating radar data. Results
show a 40 m wide cold-ice zone within the majority of the glacier snout,
where ice thickness is <10 m. We interpret ice to be cold-based across
this zone, consistent with basal freeze-on processes involved in the
deposition of moraines. We also find at least two zones of cold ice up to
15 m thick within the ablation area, occasionally extending to the glacier
bed. There are two further zones of cold ice up to 30 m thick in the
accumulation area, also extending to the glacier bed. Cold-ice zones in the
ablation area tend to correspond to areas of the glacier that are covered by
late-lying seasonal snow patches that reoccur over multiple years. Subglacial
topography and the location of the freezing isotherm within the glacier and
underlying subglacial strata likely influence the transport and supply of
supraglacial debris and formation of controlled moraines. The wider
implication of this study is the possibility that, with continued climate
warming, temperate environments with primarily temperate glaciers could
become polythermal in forthcoming decades with (i) persisting thinning and
(ii) retreat to higher altitudes where subglacial permafrost could be and/or
become more widespread. Adversely, the number and size of late-lying snow
patches in ablation areas may decrease and thereby reduce the extent of
cold ice, reinforcing the postulated change in the thermal regime.
Concerning gamer identity: An examination of individual factors associated with accepting the label of gamer
Authors: Howe William T. , Livingston Dalaki Jym , Lee Sun Kyong
Published: March 2019

This study examined characteristics of players that self-identified as gamers. Participants (N=476) were asked to complete an online survey and provide information about their video game play. Analyses of the survey responses found support for gamers being younger, men, and playing more. We also found that some of the genres of play and technology used diverged from previous research. The two most surprising findings were that gamers preferred to play on consoles more than on computers, and massive-multiplayer online games were not the most played genre. This paper contributed to research in three ways: previous assumptions surrounding gamer identity and demographics were tested, the genre of games and method of play were examined to refine the definition of a gamer, and the implications of gamer identity were discussed.
Source effects and cause involvement in prosocial online crowdfunding: A collective action perspective
Authors: Nekmat Elmie , Ng Hong Wen
Published: March 2019

This study investigates individual motivations to contribute to charitable crowdfunding campaigns from the collective action perspective. A three-group post-test with control experiment (personal source: close friends, family v. impersonal: organizational source v. control: no known source) accounting for individual predispositions (cause involvement, altruism, attitude toward crowdfunding, prior experience) was done. No significant effect of source personalness was found. Instead, a main effect on likelihood to donate to a charitable crowdfunding campaign depends on whether there was a source or not to begin with — with no known source being less influential than a personal and an impersonal source. Post-hoc analysis revealed a moderation effect of cause involvement to motivate greater donation likelihood when the source is perceived to be more personal. Theoretical implications for future research and practical suggestions for prosocial online crowdfunding for charitable purposes are discussed.
