Sulawesi, 20 ans après
Authors: Rappoport Dana
Published: December 2017

Cette chronique, illustrée de 14 photographies, relate les changements observés par l’ethnomusicologue, de retour 20 ans après sur les hautes terres toraja de Sulawesi, à l’occasion de la restitution d’un ouvrage multimédia multilingue. Ces changements sont de plusieurs ordres : démographique, architectural, économique, rituel, religieux, musical, politique. Ils permettent de saisir deux mouvements opposés : d’un côté, un goût pour l’innovation et l’adaptation à la modernité, une créativité par hybridation et emprunt (musik elekton, scènes amplifiées, mariages à l’occidentale, programmes télévisuels) ; de l’autre, un désir collectif affirmé de retour aux valeurs de la tradition religieuse pré-chrétienne, une volonté de se réapproprier les marqueurs du passé, pourtant éradiqués par les conversions chrétiennes. Le lancement de l’ouvrage fut l’occasion d’intenses débats grâce à la mise en présence de plusieurs groupes de personnes aux intérêts divers.

Authors: Shmelova Tetiana , Sikirda Yuliya
Published: December 2017

In this chapter, the authors present Air Navigation System (ANS) as a Socio-technical System (STS). The evolution of Human factor's models is presented (from 1972 to present time) and the role of society in human factor (HF) models is defined. The authors made an analysis of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) documents on risk assessment and the impact of the social environment on the aviation system. The authors obtained the results of the evaluation of non-professional factors: determination the social-psychological impact on DM of human-operator (H-O) by identifying the preferences; diagnosing individual-psychological qualities of H-O ANS in the development of flight situation; monitoring of the psycho-physiological factors as emotional state H-O ANS. Authors demonstrate some interesting advantages offered by the new methodology of forecasting the behavior of the operator in emergency situation (ES).

Authors: Colson Natalie Jane , Adamski Melissa
Published: December 2017

Nutritional genomics is a fast-growing area of precision medicine. It is expected that dietitians will be key players in this area. This chapter discusses the current state of industry, from research to the availability of commercial products, their regulation, and consumer perceptions. Current issues and controversies surrounding the readiness, availability, and delivery of this technology to consumers are examined, and finally, an education framework describing core competencies is presented. The framework aims to provide dietitians with the necessary tools to evaluate and make decisions on the potential for translation of this technology to clinical practice for disease prevention and management.

Catalyst for Biodiesel
Authors: Kapilan N.
Published: December 2017

The properties of biodiesel are similar to the fossil diesel and hence it can be used as a partial substitute for diesel without making any changes in the engine fuel injection system. The biodiesel is produced by a chemical process called transesterification with the help of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts. The homogeneous catalysts are most widely used for the commercial production of biodiesel. However, these catalysts require good quality feedstock for the production of the biodiesel. Hence, new catalysts are developed to overcome the problems associated with the homogeneous catalysts. This chapter discusses the various homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each catalyst.
Risk Inherent in Matching Unreliability With Uncertainty
Authors: Nersesian Roy L. , McManus Joe
Published: December 2017

Solar and wind are unreliable sources of energy. Several years ago, there was an eclipse over Europe during calm weather reducing renewable (wind and solar) power to nil – without 100% backup, the lights would have gone out. Electricity demand is uncertain, but its uncertainty can be bracketed within known parameters based on an analysis of past demand. Meeting uncertain demand with reliable supply (fossil fuel, nuclear, hydro except in dry seasons) is the normal course of business for an operating utility. Matching up unreliable supply with uncertain demand is a newly emerging trend with the advent of renewables. At first, when solar and wind made minute contributions to satisfying electricity demand, the challenge was manageable. The challenge is becoming more prominent with the growth in the contribution of solar and wind to electricity supply. This chapter describes the risk of matching unreliability with uncertainty via a simulation of a utility with a notable commitment to renewables. Upon measuring risk, means to mitigate that risk will be covered.
Beyond the Precautionary Principle
Authors: Korstanje Maximiliano E.
Published: December 2017

This chapter centers on the discussion around terrorism. While some scholars emphasize on terrorism as a risk, others alert on the limitations of thinking terrorism within the field of risk. This does not mean that terrorism does not exist, it is a big problem for urbanized contexts, but it escapes to the control of laycitizens. Following Niklas Luhman's definition we exert a criticism on those who think terrorism as a risk. This piece interrogated on the epistemological border of terrorism as well as the interest of publics and audiences to consume the others` mourning as a form of entertainment. This trend was facilitated by the unification of risk and threat notions. As we have explained, terrorism as-a-risk forms an ideological discourse in order for the global elite to keep its privilege position but also to open the doors towards a new face of capitalism, we have dubbed Thana Capitalism. While people watch the others` suffering in order to confirm their status, it produces a vicious circle which is conducive to what Baudrillard dubbed as “the spectacle of disasters”.

Published: December 2017

The phrase Internet of Things (IoT) heralds a vision of the future Internet where connecting physical things, from banknotes to bicycles, through a network will let them take an active part in the Internet, exchanging information about themselves and their surroundings. This will give immediate access to information about the physical world and the objects in it leading to innovative services and increase in efficiency and productivity. In general, it may be beneficial to incorporate a number of the technologies of IoT with the use of services that can act as the bridge between each technology and the applications that developers wish to implement in IoT. This chapter studies the state-of-the-art of IoT and presents the key potential applications, challenges and future research areas in the domain of IoT. This chapter presents four main categories of services according to technical features. Some major issues of future research in IoT are identified and discussed briefly.
A low-carbohydrate survey: Evidence for sustainable metabolic syndrome reversal
Authors: Cucuzzella Mark T. , Tondt Justin , Dockter Nancy E. , Saslow Laura , Wood Thomas R.
Published: December 2017

Background: Metabolic syndrome has become a significant problem, with the American Diabetes Association estimating the cost of diabetes and pre-diabetes in the United States alone to be $322 billion per year. Numerous clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of low-carbohydrate diets in reversing metabolic syndrome and its associated disorders.Aim: This study was designed to examine how voluntary adherents to a low-carbohydrate diet rate its effectiveness and sustainability using an online survey.Setting and methods: The 57-question survey was administered online and shared internationally via social media and ‘low-carb’ communities. Where appropriate, chi-squared tests and paired t-tests were used to analyse the responses.Results: There were 1580 respondents. The majority of respondents had consumed less than 100 g of carbohydrates per day for over a year, typically for reasons of weight loss or disease management. There was a reported decrease in waist circumference and weight with a simultaneous decrease in hunger and increase in energy level. Of those who provided laboratory values, the majority saw improvements in their HbA1c, blood glucose measurements, and lipid panel results. There was a reduction in usage of various medications, and 25% reported medication cost savings, with average monthly savings of $288 for those respondents. In particular, the usage of pain relievers and anti-inflammatories dropped with a simultaneous decreased rating of pain and increase in mobility.Conclusion: We conclude that low-carbohydrate diets are a sustainable method of metabolic syndrome reversal in a community setting.
Effets d'une baisse rapide de la salinité ambiante (choc hypo-osmotique) sur des paramètres biométriques et des constituants sanguins d’un poisson marin euryhalin (Dicentrarchus labrax)
Authors: Roche Hélène , Chaar K. , Pérès Gabriel
Published: December 2017

Des paramètres biométriques et sanguins significatifs ont été mesurés chez Dicentrarchus labrax, poisson marin euryhalin, au cours et après une diminution rapide de la salinité ambiante. L’étude cinétique tend à montrer qu'après une réponse initiale de caractère aspécifique, les paramètres sanguins retrouvent leur valeur normale à l’exception de la cortisolémie qui reste élevée. Plusieurs hypothèses sont discutées pour expliquer ce fait. Il pourrait être la conséquence d’un état de perturbation durable, d’une diminution de la clairance métabolique, ou encore d’une production accrue liée à l’augmentation des besoins énergétiques.

Quoi qu’il en soit, en fin d'expérience, les poissons paraissent en bon état général et leur croissance pondérale est supérieure.
La médecine canine dans les élevages de chiens
Authors: Ganivet Alain
Published: December 2017

Le vétérinaire intervenant en élevage canin doit toujours mettre en place et faire appliquer des plans prophylactiques. Il est confronté aux problèmes spécifiques de la pathologie de groupe. Il ne s’intéresse plus à l’individu mais à des groupes homogènes d'individus. Il distingue, ainsi, les affections frappant : les reproducteurs, les jeunes de 0 à 6 semaines, ceux de 6 semaines à 6 mois et les adultes. Les facteurs environnementaux prennent une importance considérable. Le vétérinaire doit initier et participer à la formation scientifique de l’éleveur afin d’avoir un interlocuteur à la démarche plus rationnelle qu’affective. Il est de la responsabilité de tous deux de produire des animaux pas seulement «non malades » mais adaptés aux exigences du maître moderne.
Aspects cliniques et épidémiologiques des encéphalopathies spongiformes subaiguës en médecine vétérinaire
Authors: Brugère-Picoux Jeanne , Châtelain Jacqueline , Cathala Françoise
Published: December 2017

Les encéphalopathies spongiformes subaiguës dues à un agent transmissible non conventionnel (ATNC) sont caractérisées cliniquement par des troubles nerveux sensitifs et moteurs évoluant, après une longue période d’incubation, vers une grande misère physiologique et une issue toujours fatale. Dans les conditions naturelles le principal mode de contagion est la voie orale (aliment souillé, protéines animales non décontaminées...). Le fait qu’une composante génétique intervienne dans la réceptivité des animaux à l’ATNC peut laisser penser à une maladie héréditaire. Ceci conduit l’éleveur à ne pas signaler l’existence de la maladie dans son élevage, lorsque celle-ci n’est pas soumise à déclaration obligatoire.

Interrelations entre glycogénèse et lipogénèse chez les ruminants
Authors: Le Bars Henri
Published: December 2017

Interrelations between glycogenesis and lipogenesis in ruminants.

The consequence of the microbial digestive activity in forestomachs of the ruminants is that few glucose and much volatil fatty acids are absorbed. An hepatic neoglycogenesis is necessary especially when glucose requirements are increased, during pregnancy and lactation. That is obtained from propionate, aminoacids, and lactate according to the intensity of the digestive activity. However the acetate cannot be metabolized in the liver, and will be converted in lipids in others tissues, particularly in the adipose tissue. The synthesis of ketone bodies, which can be profitable for most of the tissues, is stimulated in the case of a lack of energy, and allows sparing of acetate and increasing the neoglucogenesis, so that the deficiency is corrected. Enzymatic mechanisms stimulating neoglycogenesis and lipogenesis vary according to the diet.
Les polygastriques : Evolution des techniques de production et perspectives d’avenir
Authors: Delage Jacques
Published: December 2017

Les ruminants transforment des végétaux cellulosiques et des sous-produits industriels en produits animaux répondant à la demande du marché. Au cours des dernières décennies les performances des bovins, des ovins et des caprins se sont accrues notablement. Cette évolution s’est inscrite dans un processus d’intensification s’accompagnant d’une spécialisation, d’une augmentation des intrants, des investissements et de la productivité du travail.

Les techniques responsables de l’accroissement des performances relèvent essentiellement, hors l’état sanitaire, de l’alimentation et de la génétique ainsi que des modalités de la reproduction.

Des progrès sensibles basés sur une meilleure connaissance des mécanismes nutritionnels, notamment dans le rumen, ont été enregistrés en ce qui concerne l’estimation de la valeur des aliments et des besoins des animaux, l’appréciation de la capacité d’ingestion, la conception du rationnement et le recours à de nouvelles matières premières. La recherche d’une optimisation des fermentations ruminales laisse la voie ouverte aux avancées futures.

Le progrès génétique résulte de l’évolution raciale et du développement de programmes d’amélioration utilisant au mieux les données de la génétique quantitative. Les éleveurs peuvent ainsi disposer de reproducteurs de plus en plus performants pour une utilisation en race pure ou en croisement. L’insémination artificielle a très largement contribué, notamment en élevage bovin laitier, à diffuser le progrès génétique.

Les biotechnologies animales ouvrent de nouvelles voies prometteuses pour accélérer le progrès génétique et sa diffusion. Déjà, la transplantation embryonnaire se développe, le sexage des embryons de bovins se met en place, constituant un premier exemple d’utilisation de sondes d’acide nucléique qui devraient permettre l’estimation précoce de caractères génétiques. La fécondation in-vitro et le clonage annoncent d’intéressantes perspectives, la transgénèse projette sur le futur.

Les perspectives techniques, incluant les biotechnologies animales, apparaissent comme de nouveaux outils du progrès s’inscrivant dans l’application des principes de base de l’amélioration des productions des ruminants qui continuera à s’affiner tandis que de nouvelles voies s’ouvriront.
Répercussions des techniques actuelles de production animale sur l’environnement
Authors: Henri Yves
Published: December 2017

Face à une intensification de plus en plus forte des productions animales, notamment dans les systèmes hors sol (porcs, volailles), et à leur concentration géographique dans des unités de plus grande dimension, il est possible de proposer des solutions préventives, principalement par l’alimentation, pour réduire les pollutions engendrées par les effluents d’élevage, tout en sauvegardant la productivité. Une gestion raisonnée des intrants alimentaires (protéines et acides aminés, phosphore), en visant la partition des nutriments non seulement fixés dans les produits animaux mais également excrétés (fèces, urine et gaz), est d’abord obtenue par une bonne adéquation des apports alimentaires aux besoins, suivant une approche de modélisation prenant en compte le potentiel de production des animaux, complétée par une adaptation des stratégies de conduite alimentaire et par la maîtrise de la disponibilité des nutriments (digestibilité iléale des acides aminés et digestibilité du phosphore phytique), selon les matières premières et leurs associations dans le régime. L’amélioration de l’équilibre alimentaire, en particulier grâce à l’emploi des acides aminés industriels, constitue une voie complémentaire de réduction des rejets azotés, très prometteuse pour l’avenir. Par ailleurs, l’accroissement du potentiel de production, que ce soit par le progrès génétique ou par d’autres moyens de stimulation des productions (somatotropine), tout comme l’amélioration des conditions d’élevage (milieu thermique optimal pour un coût alimentaire minimum), ont pour effet de diminuer l’importance des rejets par unité de produit formé. Dans le cas du porc, les possibilités de réduction des rejets d’azote et de phosphore sont ainsi respectivement de l’ordre de 1/3 et 40%.
Sur quelles bases enseigner l’intercompréhension entre les langues slaves de l’ouest et du sud-ouest?
Authors: Labbé Grégoire
Published: December 2017

Notre étude ne cherche pas à démontrer qu’un enseignement de l’intercompréhension entre les langues slaves est possible et potentiellement accessible à tous. En effet, nous partons du principe que cela est déjà démontré, ne serait-ce que par la multitude de méthodes efficaces consacrées à la pédagogie de l’intercompréhension entre les langues romanes et par les multiples travaux réalisés en matière de slavistique. Notre but est au contraire de profiter de l’expérience romane de l’enseignement de l’intercompréhension afin de proposer une approche parmi de nombreuses autres possibles adaptées aux langues slaves. Nous sommes convaincu de la grande utilité de telles approches, d’autant plus que les langues de l’Union Européenne sont, dans leur grande majorité, issues de trois grandes familles particulièrement propices à l’intercompréhension (les langues romanes, slaves et germaniques). Un tel apprentissage n’est pas forcément long ou compliqué à mettre en place et peut constituer un plus non négligeable à l’apprentissage des langues classiquement enseignées telles que l’anglais.
Strah je znotraj votel, okrog pa ga nič ni – kaj pa pri tujih jezikih? Strah pred tujim jezikom pri pouku francoščine kot tujega jezika v Sloveniji
Authors: Pavlin Luka
Published: December 2017

Strah pred TJ je eden od najbolj vplivnih psiholoških dejavnikov pri učenju TJ in je glede na pomembnost precej slabo raziskan, četudi bi njegovo boljše razumevanje nedvomno pripomoglo k bolj prilagojenemu in učinkovitemu učenju TJ. Strah pred TJ se spreminja z govorčevo starostjo in nivojem znanja. Z zbiranjem in analizo 152 vprašalnikov ter s štirimi intervjuji profesoric francoščine kot TJ na dveh slovenskih gimnazijah in na Filozofski fakulteti UL so bili določeni najpogostejši vzroki za pojav strahu pred TJ ter skupino učencev glede na starost in znanje, ki ima z njim največ težav. Rezultati so zelo jasni: pojav je med učenci francoščine v slovenskem šolskem sistemu zelo pogost. Med dijaki prvih letnikov, maturanti, študenti dodiplomskega študija in študenti podiplomskega študija, so se maturanti in študenti dodiplomskega študija izkazali za najbolj problematične. Te ugotovitve spodbujajo razmislek o tem, kako olajšati oz. odpraviti preučevani pojav pri slovenskih učencih francoščine kot TJ.
Italijanščina kot tuji jezik na področju gostinsko-turistične stroke – preučitev ustreznosti besedil in nalog v učnih gradivih ter predlogi
Authors: Ukmar Amina
Published: December 2017

V prispevku analiziramo jezikovne vsebine in tipologijo nalog oziroma dejavnosti za razvijanje učenčeve (ustne) komunikacijske spretnosti v razpoložljivih strokovnih učbeniških gradivih za gostinstvo in turizem, ki so nastali v slovenskem prostoru v zadnjih nekaj letih. Sprašujemo se, v kolikšni meri in s pomočjo kakšnih nalog in dejavnosti lahko učenec razvija ustno sporazumevanje, predvsem pa, kakšna je njihova vsebina. Preučujemo tudi, kolikšna je prisotnost avtentičnega gradiva in nalog za urjenje produktivnih in receptivnih zmožnosti, ter v kolikšni meri je v gradivih strokovna terminologija integrirana v razlago s primeri in v utrjevanje najpomembnejših slovničnih struktur. Zanima nas torej, v kolikšni meri naloge v gradivih učenca usmerjajo in pripravljajo na samostojno komuniciranje v različnih poklicnih situacijah. V raziskavi ugotavljamo, da so analizirana učna gradiva večinoma osnovana na komunikacijskem pristopu in da učence spodbujajo k ustnemu izražanju, hkrati pa ugotavljamo tudi, da je delež nalog, ob katerih učenci vadijo uporabo sporazumevalnih vzorcev in jezikovnih struktur v kontekstu zaposlenega v gostinsko turistični stroki, prenizek. Zato predlagamo, da se v učnih gradivih posveti več pozornosti sporočanjskim položajem zaposlenega v turistično-gostinski stroki in ne predvsem gostu oz. uporabniku turistično-gostinskih storitev. Ugotavljamo tudi, da bi se v učbenike moralo umestiti več avtentičnega gradiva, saj je najboljše izhodišče za spoznavanje, razumevanje in urjenje samostojne rabe ključne strokovne terminologije. Nenazadnje: tudi slovnične vaje vsebujejo predvsem splošni jezik, namesto da bi v urjenje slovnice vključili vsebine, ki so dejansko povezane z gostinsko in turistično stroko.

Negative Words in Comparative Structures in French and Their Equivalents in Serbian
Authors: Vlahović Ljubica , Gudurić Snežana
Published: December 2017

In French and Serbian comparative constructions of equality and inequality, negative words are distributed according to their forms, meanings and functions.French negative words - ne most frequently complemented by a particle pas or some other negative word, a double particle ni…ni, as well as negative ne and a double particle ni…ni in Serbian appear in the main clause (but not in the dependent clause) of comparative constructions of equality and inequality. In comparative constructions of inequality with a positive main clause, French expletive ne appears in the dependent clause with the verb, while its equivalent in Serbian nego or no occurs as a connector at the beginning of the dependent clause.Negative words in the main clause of comparative constructions of equality make the French antecedents flexible: the reduced form si alternates with aussi, as well as reduced tant with autant, and Serbian ones stable: reduced tako (from isto tako) and reduced toliko (from isto toliko) are mandatory.The autonomous word isto (easily detachable) serves to enhance the meaning of equality.The French comparative constructions of inequality with a negative main clause may have a dependent clause without or with an expletive ne, while the equivalent Serbian constructions always have a dependent clause with nego or no containing an expletive ne.There is a semantic and a functional equivalence between the French and Serbian constructions, with some syntactic differences due to the systems of two languages.

Privacidade, ética e informação: uma reflexão filosófica sobre os dilemas no contexto das redes sociais
Authors: Fugazza Grace Quaresma , Saldanha Gustavo Silva
Published: December 2017

Este artigo objetiva refletir sobre os dilemas do direito à privacidade no contexto das redes sociais no âmbito vivência da democracia no ciberespaço, problematizando a efetividade da garantia da proteção da privacidade dos internautas, na valorização dos princípios da liberdade e autonomia no ambiente da Internet. Indica as diversas legislações de escopos nacional e internacional que garantem o direito à privacidade e proteção de dados pessoais dos cidadãos. Revisa a literatura de ética informacional, associando este domínio do conhecimento ao conceito de privacidade e ao contexto das redes sociais, discutindo a construção de conceitos que norteiam e que estão diretamente envolvidos com os domínios afins. Considera, a partir dos aportes da filosofia da informação, que a personalização de conteúdos operacionalizada pelas empresas digitais, em troca da ampla liberdade de acesso aos dados pessoais de seus usuários, ameaça os princípios de autonomia e liberdade no ciberespaço. Observa que a investigação de dados pessoais é feita também entre os próprios indivíduos, como um reflexo da atual cultura de “transparência”. Atenta para a necessidade de proteção ética e legal dos dados digitais dos internautas, visando à salvaguarda autônoma de sua identidade digital.

O discurso do "pioneiro colonizador" como elitismo cultural na cidade de Toledo/PR
Authors: Bao Carlos Eduardo
Published: December 2017

É lugar comum na sociologia estudos acerca de relações de poder e dominação. Numa perspectiva relacional, é possível identificar esse tipo de relação imbricada nas várias esferas da vida social, configurando lutas acirradas pelo domínio no campo do poder. As pesquisas sobre elitismo, orientadas nesse sentido, vem estabelecendo prolíficos estudos sobre os grupos dirigentes, seus espaços específicos de dominação e suas intersecções. Proponho aqui pensarmos o discurso do “pioneiro colonizador” como um mecanismo de dominação, ligado a aspectos eminentemente simbólicos e culturais. Para isso, analiso o caso da “elite pioneira” dominante na cidade de Toledo, Paraná, onde a história da “colonização” serve (ou pretende servir) como um ethos na constituição dos modelos de representações para a população local em geral.
José de Alencar e o tema da participação feminina no Brasil do século XIX
Authors: Simões David Soares
Published: December 2017

O artigo discute o tema da participação feminina no Brasil do século XIX a partir de dois escritos de José de Alencar (1829-1877): Uma tese constitucional: A Princesa Imperial e o Príncipe Consorte no Conselho de Estado (1867) e Sistema representativo (1868). Esses escritos apontam para um olhar tutelar a respeito da participação feminina, mas que pode referir-se a dois sentidos: o da incapacidade política da mulher, pura e simplesmente, ou então, o que parece ser mais curioso, o do reconhecimento da inexistência política dessa categoria como problema a ser pensado. Como será demonstrado, Alencar, na tentativa de resolver o dilema da inclusão das mulheres na composição do corpo político, propôs uma via conceitual caracteristicamente sua, que alia, numa mesma matriz, elementos aparentemente contraditórios, quais sejam: participação e tutela.

Religiosidade e devoção: caminhos para pensar a cidade
Authors: Katrib Cairo Mohamad Ibrahim , Gonçalves Luciane Ribeiro Dias
Published: December 2017

A festa em louvor a Nossa Senhora do Rosário, na cidade de Catalão, localizada na região sudeste do estado de Goiás, é o espaço para a materialização de muitas vozes que contam e recontam muitas histórias  dentre elas a da religiosidade e da devoção a uma santa católica. Experimentar a festa, compreender seus sentidos, seu ritmo e o que ela  transmite à vida de seus praticantes e a própria cidade não é uma tarefa fácil, pois as experiências concretas da vida dos sujeitos são transformadas, dia a dia, interligando em um tempo fluido, vida, fé, devoção e interesses diversos.  O objetivo deste artigo é entender como a história desta devoção se conecta com a história da cidade, percebendo como o culto a Virgem do Rosário e a narrativa que dá sentido às histórias que evidenciam alguns sujeitos como os responsáveis pelo crescimento e desenvolvimento da cidade e da própria comemoração.
Temperature-dependent rate coefficients for the reactions of the hydroxyl radical with the atmospheric biogenics isoprene, alpha-pinene and delta-3-carene
Authors: Dillon Terry J. , Dulitz Katrin , Groß Christoph B. M. , Crowley John N.
Published: December 2017

Abstract. Pulsed laser methods for OH generation and detection were used to study atmospheric degradation reactions for three important biogenic gases: OH + isoprene (Reaction R1), OH +α-pinene (Reaction R2) and OH + Δ-3-carene (Reaction R3). Gas-phase rate coefficients were characterized by non-Arrhenius kinetics for all three reactions. For (R1), k1 (241–356 K)  = (1.93±0.08) × 10−11exp{(466±12)∕T} cm3 molecule−1 s−1 was determined, with a room temperature value of k1 (297 K)  = (9.3±0.4) × 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, independent of bath-gas pressure (5–200 Torr) and composition (M  =  N2 or air). Accuracy and precision were enhanced by online optical monitoring of isoprene, with absolute concentrations obtained via an absorption cross section, σisoprene = (1.28±0.06) × 10−17 cm2 molecule−1 at λ = 184.95 nm, determined in this work. These results indicate that significant discrepancies between previous absolute and relative-rate determinations of k1 result in part from σ values used to derive the isoprene concentration in high-precision absolute determinations.Similar methods were used to determine rate coefficients (in 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1) for (R2)–(R3): k2 (238–357 K)  = (1.83±0.04) × exp{(330±6)∕T} and k3 (235–357 K)  = (2.48±0.14) × exp{(357±17)∕T}. This is the first temperature-dependent dataset for (R3) and enables the calculation of reliable atmospheric lifetimes with respect to OH removal for e.g. boreal forest springtime conditions. Room temperature values of k2 (296 K)  = (5.4±0.2) × 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 and k3 (297 K)  = (8.1±0.3) × 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 were independent of bath-gas pressure (7–200 Torr, N2 or air) and in good agreement with previously reported values. In the course of this work, 184.95 nm absorption cross sections were determined: σ = (1.54±0.08) × 10−17 cm2 molecule−1 for α-pinene and (2.40±0.12) × 10−17 cm2 molecule−1 for Δ-3-carene.

Abstract. Despite extensive efforts into characterization of submicron aerosols at ground level in the megacity of Beijing, our understanding of aerosol sources and processes at high altitudes remains less understood. Here we conducted a three-month real-time measurement of non-refractory submicron aerosol (NR-PM1) species at a height of 260 m from 10 October 2014 to 18 January 2015 using an aerosol chemical speciation monitor. Our results showed a significant change in aerosol composition from non-heating period (NHP) to heating season (HP). Organics and chloride showed clear increases during HP due to coal combustion emissions, while nitrate showed substantial decreases from 28 % to 15–18 %. We also found that NR-PM1 species in heating season can have average mass differences of 30–44 % under similar emission sources yet different meteorological conditions. Multi-linear engine 2 (ME-2) using three primary organic aerosol (OA) factors, i.e., fossil fuel-related OA (FFOA) dominantly from coal combustion emissions, cooking OA (COA), biomass burning OA (BBOA) resolved from ground high-resolution aerosol mass spectrometer measurements as constrains was performed to OA mass spectra of ACSM. Two types of secondary OA (SOA) that were well correlated with nitrate and chloride/CO, respectively, were identified. SOA played a dominant role in OA during all periods at 260 m although the contributions were decreased from 72 % during NHP to 58–64 % during HP. The SOA composition also changed significantly from NHP to HP. While the contribution of oxygenated OA (OOA) was decreased from 56–63 % to 32–40 %, less oxidized OOA (LO-OOA) showed a large increase from 9–16 % to 24–26 %. COA contributed a considerable fraction of OA at high altitude, and the contribution was relatively similar across different periods (10–13 %). In contrast, FFOA showed a large increase during HP due to the influences of coal combustion emissions. We also observed very different OA composition between ground level and 260 m. Particularly, the contributions of COA and BBOA at ground site were nearly twice those at 260 m, while SOA at 260 m was ~ 15–34 % higher than that at ground level. Bivariate polar plots and back trajectory analysis further illustrated the different source regions of OA factors in different seasons.

Abstract. Direct measurements of marine DMS fluxes are sparse, particularly in the Southern Ocean. The Surface Ocean Aerosol Production (SOAP) voyage in February–March 2012 examined the distribution and flux of dimethylsulfide (DMS) in a biologically-active frontal system in the southwest Pacific Ocean. Three distinct phytoplankton blooms were studied with oceanic DMS concentrations as high as 25 nmol L−1. Measurements of DMS fluxes were made using two independent methods: the eddy covariance (EC) technique using API-CIMS chemical ionization mass spectrometry, and the gradient flux technique (GF) from an autonomous catamaran platform. Catamaran flux measurements are relatively unaffected by air flow distortion and are made close to the water surface where gas gradients are largest. Flux measurements were complemented by near-surface hydrographic measurements to elucidate physical factors influencing DMS emission. Individual DMS fluxes derived by EC showed significant scatter and, at times, consistent departures from the COARE gas exchange parameterization. A direct comparison between the two flux methods was carried out to separate instrumental effects from environmental effects, and showed good agreement with a regression slope of 0.96 (r2 = 0.89). A period of abnormal downward atmospheric heat flux enhanced near-surface ocean stratification and reduced turbulent exchange, during which GF and EC transfer velocities showed good agreement but modelled COAREG values were significantly higher. The transfer velocity derived from near surface ocean turbulence measurements on a spar buoy compared well with the COAREG model in general, but showed less variation. This first direct comparison between EC and GF fluxes of DMS provides confidence in compilation of flux estimates from both techniques, and also in the stable periods when the observations are not well-predicted by the COAREG model.

Abstract. This work focuses on the study of aerosol hygroscopic growth during Sierra Nevada Lidar AerOsol Profiling Experiment (SLOPE I) campaign by using the synergy of active and passive remote sensors at Granada valley station (IISTA-CEAMA station) and in-situ instrumentation at a mountain station (Sierra Nevada station, SNS), located ~ 20 km away from IISTA-CEAMA and about 1 km above this station. To this end, a methodology based on the combination of calibrated water vapour mixing ratio (r) profiles, retrieved from an EARLINET multiwavelength Raman lidar (RL), and continuous temperature profiles from a microwave radiometer (MWR) for obtaining relative humidity (RH) profiles with high temporal resolution is used. This methodology is validated against an approach using radiosounding (RS) data at the EARLINET IISTA-CEAMA station, achieving differences in hygroscopic growth parameter (γ) lower than 5 % between the methodology based on RS and that based on remote sensing. During SLOPE I the remote sensing methodology used for aerosol hygroscopic growth studies has been checked using Mie calculations with in-situ measurements at SNS. For SLOPE I case with remote sensing instrumentation, an increase in particle backscatter coefficient at 355 and 532 nm is observed from 1.5 to 2.4 km a.s.l. in the relative humidity range of 78–98 %, but also a decrease on Ångström exponent (AE) and particle linear depolarization ratio (PLDR). This fact indicates that particles become larger and more spherical as relative humidity increases, what is strongly related to aerosol hygroscopic growth. In addition, atmospheric stability is checked ensuring well-mixed layers. Vertical and horizontal wind analysis is performed by means of a co-located Doppler lidar system at IISTA-CEAMA station, in order to evaluate the horizontal and vertical dynamics of the air masses. Finally, the Hänel parameterization is applied to experimental data for both stations, obtaining relative differences between RL and Mie simulations up to 13 % and 10 % for 532 nm and 355 nm, respectively.

Abstract. We present the results of leaf wax analyses (long-chain n-alkanes) from the 6.8 m deep loess sequence of Möhlin, Switzerland, spanning the last  ∼  70 kyr. Leaf waxes are well preserved and occur in sufficient amounts only down to 0.4 m and below 1.8 m depth, so no paleoenvironmental reconstructions can be done for marine isotope stage (MIS) 2. Compound-specific δ2Hwax analyses yielded similar values for late MIS 3 compared to the uppermost samples, indicating that various effects (e.g., more negative values due to lower temperatures, more positive values due to an enriched moisture source) cancel each other out. A pronounced  ∼  30 ‰ shift towards more negative values probably reflects more humid conditions before  ∼  32 ka. Radiocarbon dating of the n-alkanes corroborates the stratigraphic integrity of leaf waxes and their potential for dating loess–paleosol sequences (LPS) back to  ∼  30 ka.
The determination of high-resolution spatio-temporal glacier motion fields from time-lapse sequences
Authors: Schwalbe Ellen , Maas Hans-Gerd
Published: December 2017

Abstract. This paper presents a comprehensive method for the determination of glacier surface motion vector fields at high spatial and temporal resolution. These vector fields can be derived from monocular terrestrial camera image sequences and are a valuable data source for glaciological analysis of the motion behaviour of glaciers. The measurement concepts for the acquisition of image sequences are presented, and an automated monoscopic image sequence processing chain is developed. Motion vector fields can be derived with high precision by applying automatic subpixel-accuracy image matching techniques on grey value patterns in the image sequences. Well-established matching techniques have been adapted to the special characteristics of the glacier data in order to achieve high reliability in automatic image sequence processing, including the handling of moving shadows as well as motion effects induced by small instabilities in the camera set-up. Suitable geo-referencing techniques were developed to transform image measurements into a reference coordinate system.The result of monoscopic image sequence analysis is a dense raster of glacier surface point trajectories for each image sequence. Each translation vector component in these trajectories can be determined with an accuracy of a few centimetres for points at a distance of several kilometres from the camera. Extensive practical validation experiments have shown that motion vector and trajectory fields derived from monocular image sequences can be used for the determination of high-resolution velocity fields of glaciers, including the analysis of tidal effects on glacier movement, the investigation of a glacier's motion behaviour during calving events, the determination of the position and migration of the grounding line and the detection of subglacial channels during glacier lake outburst floods.
Treatment of deterministic perturbations and stochastic processes within a quality control scheme
Authors: Eibl Birgit , Steinacker Reinhold
Published: December 2017

Abstract. Meteorological in situ observational data comes with a variety of errors and uncertainties. Any further usage of this data requires a sophisticated quality control to detect, quantify and possibly eliminate or at least to reduce errors and to increase the value of the information. It must be assumed, that each observational value Ψobs is contaminated by errors Ψerr so that the true state Ψtrue is not known. Different kinds of errors can be identified. Each of them has different characteristics and therefore has to be detected through appropriate methods. For years, various methods as a self consistency test, clustering and nearest neighbour techniques have been implemented in the complex quality control scheme of the Vienna Enhanced Resolution Analysis (VERA). Thereby former elaborations adressed the elimination and treatment of gross errors. In successioon the present investigation adresses the determination of stochastic and deterministic perturbations. In a first step we implemented the method to split up the observational value to smooth out the stochastic errors to the best and retain deterministic perturbations thereafter. Through controlled experiments on two dimensions the performance and limitations of the complex quality control scheme has been investigated. The treatment of errors and signals on different scales and the limit of the usability of this property is the main focus of the presented investigation. We highly recommend to use the method for data quality control within a high resolution model analysing spatially distributed data in highly complex terrain.
