Decomposition analysis of water utilization in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region between 2003 and 2016
Authors: Wang Hongrui , Hong Siyang , Cheng Tao , Wang Xiayue
Published: June 2018

Water crisis is prominent in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, therefore, the internal relations between water utilization changes and socioeconomic development must be urgently analysed. Based on analyses of the spatiotemporal characteristics of total water utilization, the factors that influenced changes in industrial water utilization in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 2003 to 2016 were studied using a factor decomposition model. The results show that the scaling effect (SCE) increased water utilization by 31.78 billion m3 over those 13 years and was the only driving effect that caused industrial water utilization to increase. The structural effect (STE) and technological effect (TEE) reduced industrial water utilization by 14.93 and 20.44 billion m3, respectively. The TEE was the main reason for the decrease in industrial water utilization in Beijing, accounting for a reduction of 96.5% in total industrial water utilization. The STE was stronger than TEE in Tianjin, with associated decreases of 94.65% and 90.1% in total industrial water utilization, respectively. In Hebei, the STE and TEE reduced total industrial water utilization by 60.23% and 85.46%, respectively. Adjusting the industrial structure and promoting water-saving technology are efficient methods of alleviating the water shortage in the study area.

The focus of this study was placed on the role of heart failure in forming disorders of the nutritional status in patients undergoing surgical correction of acquired heart disease. A negative correlation level of natriuretic peptides in plasma levels of serum albumin and absolute lymphocyte counts was established. The development of chronic heart failure accompanied by an increase in plasma levels of natriuretic peptides in patients with AHD is one of the reasons for the decrease of serum albumin levels and the formation of malnutrition.

En el trabajo se subraya los esfuerzos que hizo la Facultad para vincularse a las experiencias que en el mundo se realizaban, con el objetivo de orientar el “estudio independiente” o “autónomo”, como un componente fundamental de las bases teóricas en que se ha sustentado la educación a distancia desde sus inicios.
The concept of existentials in the treatise “Being and Time” by M. Heidegger
Authors:   Surgut State University, Burkhanov Rafael Ayratovich , Nikulina Olga Vyacheslavovna ,   Surgut State University
Published: June 2018

The paper analyzes the concept of existentials in the early Martin Heidegger’s philosophy. Human in being in terms of Dasein is the starting point for his analysis. This is the conscious concrete being, human presence. A way of being which is typical for human, the ontological temporality of presence of individuals are defined as existence (Existenz) by the German thinker. However, existence and Dasein are not the same thing. Dasein is existential matrix which ontologically defines all other fundamental, essential and derivative existentials: being-in-the world (In-der-Welt-Sein), being-with (Mit-Sein), openness (Offenheit), attunement (Befindlichkeit), understanding (Verstehen), discourse (Rede), mood (Stimmung), falling prey (Verfallen), care (Sorge), thrownness (Geworfenheit), fear (Angst), resoluteness (Entschlossenheit), being-toward-death (Sein-zum-Tode), conscience (Gewissen), truth (Wahrheit), temporality (Zeitlichkeit), historicity (Geschichtlichkeit). Conversely, existence is the intentional being-in-the world of a certain individual, his situational ontological “disclosure in the world”. The authors emphasize that care is the core existential uniting all modes of human being in the fundamental ontology of Heidegger while being-in-the-world is the initial existential. Being an “own” way of human presence in the world, “care” constitutes the integral structure of existence of the individual.

The phenomenon of Russian patriotism is examined in accordance with its relevant aspects. The historical aspect of the analysis reflects the main milestones in its origin and development from Old Russian thinkers through domestic literary works and philosophical religious essays, philosophy of Russian Enlightenment, Silver Age to domestic Marxism and Russian expatriate philosophy. The conceptual aspect represents a range of different points of view of domestic researchers on nature and content of Russian patriotism. At the same time, the psychological, sociological, axiological, etatist, and personalistic concepts are analyzed. The essential aspect defines patriotism and determines its levels (personal and public) and elements (patriotic conscience, patriotic attitude and patriotic activity). The typological aspect of patriotism classifies it as state, Russian nation-wide, national, local, civil, emotional and false patriotism. Functional discourse of patriotism analyzes its following functions: educational, henotic and protective ones. Besides, functions of patriotism are criticized by domestic researchers.

International treaty as a source of private international law
Authors: Bakhnovsky Aleksandr Viktorovich ,   North Caucasus branch of  Russian State University of Justice
Published: June 2018

The paper reviews the reasons to admit that the international treaty is a source of international private law. The research analyzes various approaches to reviewing the doctrine of private international law. The relevance of the study is determined by the problem of opposite scientific views which determine whether international treaties can be recognized as private international law sources or not. By rejecting this scientific approach, one could exclude a great number of judicial acts interpreting international treaties and resolving urgent practical issues. The author reviews Russian and international judicial institutions activity and clarifies the role of legal precedent in settling the private legal relationship.
La Syrophénicienne et l’espace narratif entre-deux
Authors: Araújo André Luís de
Published: June 2018

L’objet de cet article, c’est d’entreprendre une analyse narrative de l’épisode de la guérison de la fille d’une Syrophénicienne dans l’Évangile de Marc (Mc 7, 24-30). Néanmoins, comme l’interprétation d’un récit peut changer quand on élargit l’espace textuel des possibilités d’une lecture critique, cette proposition veut décrire les articulations constitutives de l’univers sémantique des espaces narratifs entre-deux que le récit de la Syrophénicienne fait ressortir. En ce sens, on cherche à démontrer dans quelle mesure cette péricope fonctionne comme une espèce de pivot narratif qui provoque un changement de mouvement et de perspective, entre les deux récits de multiplication des pains, dans l’Évangile de Marc.
Le rituel du baptême d’enfants avec adaptations au caractère brésilien

L’article est le fruit d’une communication pour la table-ronde «Les défis de l’inculturation» au Congrès du Teologicum de l’Institut Catholique de Paris - Dialogue des rationalites culturelles et religieuses, en juin 2016. Le “Rituel du baptême d’enfants est le seul rituel complet qui comporte des adaptations à la mentalité brésilienne. Après un bref rappel de l’histoire du Rituel, on souligne les adaptations au caractère brésilien à partir de la Présentation de D. Geraldo Lyrio qui a conduit à bon terme la réalisation du Rituel auquel l’auteur a été invité à collaborer. Faire des adaptations au Rituel pour le rendre pastoralement plus «parlant» signifie faire inculturation, même simple. Il faut aussi tenir compte du «catholicisme ou religiosité populaire», réalité qui a trouvé place dans les documents du CELAM et est, aujourd’hui, bien valorisée par le Pape François.

Pedagogika i edukacja medialna w cyberkulturze
Authors: Matusiak Renata
Published: June 2018

Współczesna rzeczywistość jest wytworem i elementem cyberkultury. Świat zawieszony jest w rzeczywistości wirtualnej, która nie tylko przenika do świata realnego, ale staje się jego twórcą. Pedagogika medialna podparta doświadczeniami edukacji medialnej wydaje się być kluczem do uporządkowania społecznej rzeczywistości. Edukacja w zakresie kształtowania kompetencji medialnych jest jednym z głównych zadań obecnego szkolnictwa i oświaty. Tylko właściwie realizowana edukacja medialna i wychowanie do odbioru mediów pozwoli na efektywne wykorzystanie mediów w życiu człowieka, a także na to, że on sam w sposób odpowiedzialny i świadomy będzie tworzył cyberkulturę. Obecnie jednak edukacja medialna w Polsce nie rozwija się w sposób pożądany. Artykuł traktuje o potrzebie pedagogiki medialnej i znaczeniu edukacji, szkolnictwa w rozwoju cyberkultury.
Adaptacja pozytywnych międzykulturowych zachowań zdrowotnych wśród uczniów klas I–III w opinii nauczycieli
Authors: Modrzejewska Justyna
Published: June 2018

W dobie spotykania się różnorodnych kultur na wszystkich płaszczyznach naszego życia istotne jest zauważenie i świadome przeniesienie pozytywnych zachowań zdrowotnych zapożyczonych z innych kultur na grunt polskiej szkoły przez nauczycieli. Kształcenie pozytywnych postaw w stosunku do innych kultur na płaszczyźnie zdrowotnej jest szczególnie ważne na początku drogi edukacyjnej dziecka. Zaprezentowane w niniejszym artykule badania mają na celu wykazanie wiedzy i umiejętności nauczycieli edukacji wczesnoszkolnej w zakresie adaptacji pozytywnych zachowań zdrowotnych funkcjonujących już w naszym społeczeństwie na grunt edukacji wczesnoszkolnej. Problemem badawczym było pytanie: Jakie i w jaki sposób pozytywne zachowania zdrowotne pochodzące z innych kultur należy adoptować w środowisku dzieci w młodszym wieku szkolnym?, a rozwiązaniem problemu badawczego były propozycje nauczycieli w odpowiedzi na pytania ankietowe dotyczące wyboru i sposobu adaptacji owych zachowań. Badania przeprowadzone metodą sondażu diagnostycznego wykazały znaczną wiedzę i umiejętności ankietowanych, ale ponadto uświadomiły nauczycielom możliwości wykorzystania tych zagadnień w celu kształtowania postaw tolerancji i akceptacji innych kultur w ich codziennej pracy zawodowej. Badania miały charakter proorientacyjny i z pewnością są sumptem do dalszych eksploracji badawczych.
A way to remedy all human things is indeed the idea of these things
Authors: Rybák David
Published: June 2018

This text deals with the issue of Comenius’s idea of education. This idea is used for gaining the space “in-between”, the difference to our own way of pedagogical thinking insofar as it starts from the modern sciences with its inherent metaphysics. Then we are trying to elucidate some of Comenius’s essential principles that could inspire our schools and education. We are keen to argue that it must be the idea of education that rules, and not the organization or the process of education.
‘You Have Judged It Opportune to Adjust the Dioceses Division according to the New Civil Division ...’ The Report of Bishop of Omsk Arcadius to Metropolitan of Nizhny Novgorod Sergius and the Holy Synod in 1929

The article offers a source study of the report of bishop of Omsk Arkady to Metropolitan of Nizhny Novgorod Sergius and the Holy Synod made in 1929. The text analysis allows to address the problem of relationship between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Soviet authorities. The report, which is published here, allows to follow the sequence of territorial redistribution of the Omsk diocese in 1920s. The problem of its authorship is considered. Having studied a copy of the report in the archival investigative file stored in the archive of the Federal Security Service of Russia Directorate for the Omsk Region, the author establishes that the document was prepared by Archpriest V.F. Infatiev, leader of the Omsk Tikhonovtsy and rector of the Fraternal Church in Omsk. Biographical and historical–genetic methods have been of most use in the research. Biographical method allows to study the document in connection with life and activities of its authors. The historical genetic method, based on materials of the Omsk diocese, shows how the Soviet state used the administrative redistribution of dioceses to obstruct church administration. It sought to fragment and weaken large dioceses that were fighting new church schism. The article reveals the specifics of administrative and territorial reorganization in the Omsk diocese, which boundaries kept changing for a variety of reasons. First, the Soviet power had not forgotten that Omsk of the capital of White Russia, and Novonikolaevsk (Novosibirsk) was made capital of Soviet Siberia. Reconstruction of diocesan borders in accordance with new Soviet administrative–territorial division disrupted traditional church administration. Some cities still gravitated towards Omsk, but over time they were separated from the Omsk diocese. Secondly, the Bolsheviks provoked and supported the inter-church struggle for power, in which many church leaders were then actively involved. This resulted in separation of a number of territories from the Omsk diocese. Thirdly, while the Kyrgyz (Kazakh) republic was being formed and developed, some of its large cities were subordinate to Omsk. The work may be of interest to researchers studying Russian society in the pre–war period, history of the Russian Orthodox Church, and activities of the Soviet Special Services concerning religious institutions.
‘Obligatory and Preliminary Review of All Broadcasts Plans and Scripts.’ Running Commentary and Broadcasts on Celebratory Demonstration as a Means of Shaping Soviet Values in 1920s-1930s
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Moscow, Russian Federation, Barysheva Elena V.
Published: June 2018

This article studies radio broadcasts of celebratory demonstrations of workers in 1920-30s as a form of ideological influence on the public consciousness. Audio-culture, as a most wide-reaching and accessible form of mass media, had a significant impact on the audience from 1918 to 1920-30s. Radio played an important role in the solution of ideological tasks, rendering figurative and verbal influence on the masses in the Soviet Union. Explaining and spreading the changes that took place in the life and the politics of the nation, the radio created a unified space of communication. Running commentary as a communication had its rules and limitations, which had developed in the first decades of the Soviet power. Discourse stereotypes had in due course resulted in emergence of a ritualistic form of reporting similar to demonstrations and parades themselves. The genre developing, many clich?s and hackneyed phrase appeared that were to impress propaganda slogans and appeals on the listeners and to inspire emotions. Now these slogans were accessible to everyone, as reproducers were installed in the streets of cities and villages and pervaded communal flats. Event reporting intensified the emotional state of the audience, giving an impression of true popular enthusiasm. In radio reports from official festive events, message of the power inducing socio-political consolidation of the society was obvious. The research analyzes drafts of a radio program script on festive demonstration of November 7, 1939 stored in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (Yu. K. Olesha fond). The writer’s notes indicate that the preliminary censorship and self-censorship did not allow for improvisation.
‘The Noblest Soul’: A Sad Page in the History of the Grand Duchy of Hesse through the Eyes of Grand Duke Sergey Alexandrovich. The Darmstadt Diary, 1892

Published: June 2018

This is the first publication of a fragment of the diary of Grand Duke Sergey Alexandrovich of Russia for 1892 describing illness, death, and burial of Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hesse and by Rhine, head of one of the states forming a part of the German Empire. Ever since the 18th century the Russian Imperial Family was bound by close kinship to the Hessian ducal family. The author of the diary was a member of the House of the Romanovs, a younger brother of Russian Emperor Alexander III. Grand Duke Sergey Alexandrovich held the post of the Moscow Governor-General. In 1884 he married Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, n?e Princess of Hesse, who was a daughter of Grand Duke Ludwig IV. This publication includes diary records from February 26 to March 9, 1892, covering the time when Grand Duke Sergey Alexandrovich and his wife were staying in Darmstadt. The diary describes the daily life of the Royal family in the capital of the Grand Duchy of Hesse and by Rhine during said period and the participation in the obsequies of the deceased’s family and the representatives of the Russian, British and German ruling dynasties. Among others, the Grand Duke Sergey Alexandrovich’s diary mentions German Dowager Empress Victoria (the mother of Emperor Wilhelm II), Prince Henry of Prussia (the future Grand Admiral of the Imperial German Navy), Prince Louis Battenberg (the future British First Sea Lord), Princess Alice of Hesse, the younger sister of Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, future Russian Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. The daily entries record family unity of the members of the Russian, the German, and the British Royal dynasties in the face of common tragedy against the backdrop of difficult relations between their empires. The deceased, Grand Duke Ludwig IV, enjoyed universal respect. Diaries of Grand Duke Sergey Alexandrovich are stored in his personal provenance fond in the State Archive of the Russian Federation (Moscow).
Private letters of Siberian exiles about the ‘Turukhansk revolt’: 1908–1912
Authors:   V. P. Astafiev Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University, Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation, Baksht Dmitrii A.
Published: June 2018

The article studies the Turukhansk region as a territory with distinct climatic conditions and, consequently, with distinctive state management institutions and does so in the context of modernization processes of late 19th – early 20th century. This part of the Yenisei gubernia having become a region of mass exile after the First Russian Revolution of 1905–1907, its integration into a general system of management slowed down. Private letters of exiles are an important historical source, they reveal many aspects of the daily life of the persons under supervising in the inter-revolutionary period. The ‘Turukhansk revolt’ in the winter of 1908/09 revealed not only the ineffectiveness of exile as a penal measure, but also severel major problems of the region: archaic and scanty management institutions, lack of transport communication with southern uezds of the gubernia, underpopulation, and also gubernia and metropolitan officials’ ignorance of local affairs. The agencies of the Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs expanded the practice of perlustration as involvement in the revolutionary movement grew. Siberian exiles had their correspondence routinely inspected, and yet in most cases they were inexperienced enough not to encrypt their messages. Surviving perlustration materials offer an ambivalent picture of the ‘Turukhansk revolt’: there were both approval and condemnation of the participants’ actions. The documents tell a tale of extreme cruelty of the punitive detachments even towards those who were not involved in the resistance. The subject of the Siberian exile of the early 20th century has research potential. There is virtually no scholarship on the exiles’ self-reflection concerning the ‘common violence’ of both anti-governmental groups and state punitive agencies. Diversification in political/party or social/class affiliation is not enough. The new materials have revealed a significant gap between several ‘streams’ of exiles: those banished to Siberia in midst of the First Russian Revolution differed from those exiled in 1910s. The article concludes that, having departed from the previous approach to studying the exile, ego-sources cease to be of lesser importance than other types of historical sources. Their subjectivity becomes an advantage for a high-quality text analysis.
Slope Ranking and geohazards correlation analysis for Combined Open-Underground Mining area
Authors: Jin Zhang
Published: June 2018

Geohazards in mining areas are mainly ground subsidence, slope landslides and ground cracks, surface cover degradation and environmental ecological pattern destruction. The classification and rank of terrain slope and the feature area extraction of the slope are the important content for the correlation analysis with the geohazards. The slope classification and rank index system for soil and water conservation, land use and man-made ground disasters was analyzed. According to the characteristics of open pit and underground associated mining area, we comprehensively analyzed the spatial correlation between different ground disaster and terrain features and landform types, and propose a new slope ranking index, dividing slope zones and forming slope classification map. Especially slope area of 35-45 degrees and more than 45 degrees was extracted, and the relationship between regional geohazards and slope zone was analyzed. The application of terrestrial laser scanning technology to establish open-pit high precision digital elevation model, extraction of slope, slope type, gully density characteristic factor, topography factor data sets are established, and correlation analysis, to enhance disaster information content.

The paper covers the questions of perfection of technologies for transportation of rock mass on quarries’ dumps. The completed analysis of existing ways of refuse disposal at open pit mining indicates the barest necessity of the development of a new resource- and environment-saving technology. The contradictions in the technologies of open pit miningaccumulated over the last decades are especially aggravated in the conditions of transition to a market economy and the imminent ecological crisis. Transportation of the rock mass in containers without construction of technological communications on quarries offered. The basic element of the container technology for rock mass transportation in the quarry is elevator in the form of a special mobile lifting machine. Container technology makes it possible to increase the characteristics of open pit miningoperations by save of energy resources and environment preserve at a qualitatively new level. Taking into account experience of its development in other industries allows decrease specific power consumption, improving environmental safety and productivity at open pit mining. Reducing the power consumption and the destructive effect of open pit mining on environment takes place due to using optimal mode of transportation at all stages of rock mass haulage, as well as due to the performance of transshipment operations with high productivity without additional excavation of the rock mass. Hereupon, the productivity of works at refuse disposal increases and external dump’s areas lower. A preliminary assessment of the economic indicators of container technology shows its economic advantages over the existing rock mass refuse disposal methods. The simple design characterizes the developed equipment, which makes it possible to manufacture it at a mining enterprise.

The development of a comprehensive technology for processing titanomagnetite concentrate at the Masalsky field will enable the production of an iron-containing alloy and a vanadium product.The processing of the titanomagnetite concentrate of the Masalsky deposit includes rework firing, magnetic separation of the cinder, the melting of a large phase of the reduced metal and the magnetic fraction of the cinder, and further conversion of the cast iron to produce vanadium-containing slag and iron-containing alloy. In this paper, the main direction was to determine the optimal melting parameters and convert the iron-containing melt to produce a vanadium-containing slag. Melting of the magnetic fraction and class +0.1 mm of cinder after reduction firing was carried out at temperatures of 1400, 1450 and 1500 °C. It was found that the optimum melting temperature of the class +0.1 mm and the magnetic fraction of the cinder is 1450 ° C for 20 min. Chemical, mineralogical and electron probe analysis of the obtained alloys showed that after melting the phases become more homogeneous, structured and magnetic. The composition of the glandular matrix consists of 88-90 % of reduced iron and manganese inclusions of about 7%. The aggregative structure of the matrix is due to the presence of rounded, oval separations with a cementing mass, detected at relatively high magnifications. Vanadium in all samples is concentrated in the interstices between the rounded ferruginous segregations. Carbon together with iron is in large inclusions. Composition of the obtained cast iron, wt. %: 88.3-90.2 Feсоmm; 0.286-0.354 V; 0.012-0.236 Ti; 3.54-4.06 C. The cast iron was converted into a laboratory unit consisting of a Kejia chamber furnace, an air flow meter, an air supply pump 2FY-1B. The parameters of the conversion of cast iron were determined: a temperature interval of 1200-1450 °C, a duration of 110 minutes with an air supply of 5-10 liters / min. Vanadium-containing slags of the following composition, wt. %: 13.8-16.05 V2O5; 35.9-42.8 Fecomm; 3.5-11.17 TiO2; 3.78-17.66 SiO2; 1.6-2.9 Cr; 5.95-9.5 Mn. The composition of iron-containing alloys, wt. %: 96.8-97.1 Fecomm; 0.11-0.26 Ti; 0.1-0.14 V; 0.78-1.2 C; 0.1-0.13 Si; 0.035-0.40 Cr; 0.3-0.4 Mn. The cast iron and vanadium slag obtained by us correspond to the existing analogues in terms of the content of impuritycomponents.

The paper presents results of investigation of stress-deformed state (SDS) of a metal block at rolling in longitudinal-wedge mill (LWM).The quantitative data obtained by the finite elements method and the MSC Super Forge program, and the main regularities in the distribution of SDS and the temperature at blanks rolling in a longitudinal-wedge mill with various unitary crimps were established. To determine the ultimate plasticity, the samples were tested on an STD 812 plastometer. This plastometer allows testing specimens by torsion, stretching and compression at temperatures up to 1500 ° C. The test is performed with continuous or fractional crimp with a given degree and strain rate at each passing. The plastometer is equipped with a control unit and a computer program that allow automatic output of the resistance curves of deformation of metals and alloys. It is established that the steel 08kp is characterized by a sufficiently high level of ultimate plasticity and has a wide range of satisfactory deformability. It is found an increase of the value of the ultimate plasticity at the examined deformation rates with increasing test temperature, and the rolling of strips of the steel 08kp in the longitudinal-wedge mill is carried out without disrupting the continuity of the billet material. It is shown that rolling in multifunctional LWM leads to the localization of stress intensity and deformation in the initial stage of rolling in the zones of capture of the workpiece by a roller. At subsequent stages, the sections concentrating the intensity of stresses and deformations gradually transferred from the central layers to the surface zones and edges of the workpiece. Gradual transfer of intensity of stresses and deformation from the center to the edges and the surface of the workpiece makes it possible, by selecting rational deformation modes of rolling, to obtain high-quality bands with a fine-grained structure.

Temporal role-based access control models support the specification and enforcement of several temporal constraints on role enabling, role activation, and temporal role hierarchies among others. In this paper, we define three mappings that preserve the solutions to a class of policy problems: they map security analysis problems in presence of static temporal role hierarchies to problems without them. We show how our mappings can be used to extend the capabilities of a tool for the analysis of administrative temporal role-based access control policies to reason in presence of temporal role hierarchies. We carried out an experimental evaluation with a prototype implementation, which highlighted that one of the proposed mappings behaves better than the other two. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first tool capable of reasoning with (static) temporal role hierarchies.

Everyday place descriptions provide a rich source of knowledge about places and their relative locations. This research proposes a place graph model for modelling this spatial, non-spatial, and contextual knowledge from place descriptions. The model extends a prior place graph, and overcomes a number of limitations. The model is implemented using a graph database, and a management system has also been developed that allows operations including querying, mapping, and visualizing the stored knowledge in an extended place graph. Then three experimental tasks, namely georeferencing, reasoning, and querying, are selected to demonstrate the superiority of the extended model.

Calcium plays an important role in plant growth, development, and response to environmental stimuli. Copines are conserved plasma membrane-localized calcium-binding proteins which regulate plant immune responses and development. In this study, we found that copine proteins BON2 and BON3, the paralogs of BON1, physically interact with calcium pumps ACA8 and ACA10 in Arabidopsis. Notably, ACA9, the closest homologue of ACA8 and ACA10 functioning in pollen tube growth, interacts with all three copines. This is consistent with the protein–protein interactions between the two protein families, the aca8, aca10, aca8/aca10, bon1/2/3 mutants as well as aca9 mutant exhibited defects on pollen germination and seed production. Taken together, plasma membrane-localized interacting calcium pumps and copines coordinately control pollen tube growth, likely through manipulating calcium efflux.

Gas water heaters take a major part in the Chinese water heater market, while the existing water heater have either low efficiency because of the single utilization of energy or the high failure rate that is caused by low temperature corrosion. A new structure of heat exchanger in the gas water heater is proposed is this article, the heat transfer method of which is not only forced convection, but also phase change heat transfer, which provides a higher heat transfer coefficient in condition of the same heat exchange area, and consequently promote the efficiency of the heat exchanger. An experimental study is carried out to compare the difference between the new water heater and the existing one on efficiency, and result shows that the new water heater is 6% higher in efficiency. Besides, this kind of water heater has a gentle temperature change when a sudden decrease or increase of gas flow rate occurs. An economic analysis is produced in order to predict the economic efficiency of the new heat exchanger. As a result, the new heat exchanger of the water heater can significantly promote the heat transfer efficiency and decrease the failure rate, and it is more economic efficient than the existing one.

Background. Hospitalization processes are known to increase depressive symptoms arising among elderly population. Meanwhile, dysregulation of cardiac autonomic function has been suggested to link depression and cardiovascular mortality. In this context, analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) is emerging as a powerful mortality risk stratifier clinical tool. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship among HRV, depression, and comorbidity risk among an elderly inpatient population. Material and methods. Twenty-six subjects (aged 78±9 years) were recruited from the Short- Term Stay Unit at the Hospital General de Alicante. Before joining a Physical Activity Program aimed to prevent functional impairment and after medical selection and written consent, inpatients were tested for heart rate variability, Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale, and Charlson comorbidity index score. Results. Men compared to women showed a signifi cantly larger CCI score. Short-term scaling exponent (α1), derived from detrended fl uctuation analysis, showed a negative correlation with Charlson comorbidity index. Conversely, a positive correlation was found between sample entropy (SampEn) and Yesavage Scale. Conclusions. On the one hand, fractal analysis of HRV confirms to be useful as a risk stratifier tool. On the other hand, SampEn is proposed to be reflecting a non-neurally generated complexity when accompanied with low values of α1. Accordingly, in this regime, it would be indicative of a paradoxical gradual reduction in cardiac autonomic control, accentuated with the severity of depressive symptoms.
