Published: January 2019

AbstractHydrological change is a conspicuous signal of land use intensification in human-dominated landscapes. We hypothesized that land conversion and land use change increase the availability of lentic habitats and associated biodiversity in Southern Amazonian landscapes through at least four drivers. River damming promotes the formation of reservoirs, which are novel permanent lentic water bodies. A rise in the water table driven by local deforestation promotes the expansion of shallow riparian floodplains. Soil compaction and the deliberate construction of cattle and drainage ponds promote the increase in temporary water bodies in interfluvia. We tested these hypotheses using data on habitat characterization and biological surveys of amphibians and fish in forests, pastures and soybean fields in the headwaters of the Xingu River in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Lentic habitat availability sharply increased in deforested land, with consequences to freshwater biodiversity. Reservoir formation influenced both fish and amphibian assemblage structure. Fish species ranged from strongly favored to strongly disfavored by reservoir conditions. Amphibian richness and abundance increased in pasture and soybean streams relative to forests, with a strong positive effect of density of reservoirs in the landscape. Expansion of stream floodplains increased the abundance ofMelanorivulus megaroni, a fish species indicator of shallow lentic habitats. Rainwater accumulation in temporary ponds and puddles, entirely absent from well-drained forested interfluvia, allowed the invasion of converted interfluvia by twelve species of open-area amphibians. A literature review indicates that these four drivers of hydrological change are geographically widespread suggesting that we may be witnessing a major yet previously unaccounted form of habitat change in deforested Amazonia.

Comparison of the reluctance laminated and solid rotor synchronous machine operating at high temperatures
Authors: Lefik Marcin , Komeza Krzysztof , Napieralska-Juszczak Ewa , Roger Daniel , Napieralski Piotr Andrzej 
Published: January 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a comparison between reluctance synchronous machine-enabling work at high internal temperature (HT° machine) with laminated and solid rotor.

Design/methodology/approach
To obtain heat sources for the thermal model, calculations of the electromagnetic field were made using the Opera 3D program including effect of rotation and the resulting eddy current losses. To analyse the thermal phenomenon, the 3D coupled thermal-fluid (CFD) model is used.

Findings
The presented results show clearly that laminated construction is much better from a point of view of efficiency and temperature. However, solid construction can be interesting for high speed machines due to their mechanical robustness.

Research limitations/implications
The main problem, despite the use of parallel calculations, is the long calculation time.

Practical implications
The obtained simulation and experimental results show the possibility of building a machine operating at a much higher ambient temperature than it was previously produced for example in the vicinity of the aircraft turbines.

Originality/value
The paper presents the application of fully three-dimensional coupled electromagnetic and thermal analysis of new machine constructions designed for elevated temperature.
Model structure effect on static aeroelastic deformation of the NASA CRM
Authors: Bdeiwi Houda , Ciarella Andrea , Peace Andrew , Hahn Marco 
Published: January 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to present a computational aeroelastic capability based on a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) methodology and validate it using the NASA Common Research Model (CRM). Focus is placed on the effect of the wind tunnel model structural features on the static aeroelastic deformations.

Design/methodology/approach
The FSI methodology couples high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics to a simplified beam representation of the finite element model. Beam models of the detailed CRM wind tunnel model and a simplified CRM model are generated. The correlation between the numerical simulations and wind tunnel data for varying angles of attack is analysed and the influence of the model structure on the static aeroelastic deformation and aerodynamics is studied.

Findings
The FSI results follow closely the general trend of the experimental data, showing the importance of considering structural model deformations in the aerodynamic simulations. A thorough examination of the results reveals that it is not unequivocal that the fine details of the structural model are important in the aeroelastic predictions.

Research limitations/implications
The influence of some changes in structural deformation on transonic wing aerodynamics appears to be complex and non-linear in nature and should be subject to further investigations.

Originality/value
It is shown that the use of a beam model in the FSI approach provides a reliable alternative to the more costly coupling with the full FE model. It also highlights the non-necessity to develop precise, detailed structural models for accurate FSI simulations.
Mega events and seasonality: the case of the Milan World Expo 2015
Authors: Sainaghi Ruggero , Mauri Aurelio G. , Ivanov Stanislav , d’Angella Francesca 
Published: January 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the effects generated by the Milan World Expo 2015 on both firm performance and seasonality structure. It aims to answer the following research question: Did the Milan Expo 2015 influence only hotel results without changing seasonal patterns, or was this mega event able to reconfigure seasonal periods?

Design/methodology/approach
The present analysis is based on Smith Travel Research (STR) data. This source offers daily data on a large sample of Milan hotels (approximately 80 per cent of the total), representing more than 30,000 rooms. The empirical data relate to a period of 12 years, 11 of which are focused on the pre-event period (2004-2014), while 2015 is centered on the Milan Expo. This data comprise 4,383 daily observations. For each day, three operating measures were analyzed: occupancy, average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR).

Findings
The empirical findings fully support the first hypothesis: the four seasonal periods built around the main market segments are relevant lenses for understanding Milan’s demand structure before Expo 2015. The findings also support the second hypothesis relating to the effects generated by the event: Expo 2015 was able to improve hotel performance during the four seasonal periods analyzed. The most fragile seasonality registered the highest rise. Finally, the last two hypotheses to be investigated are as follows: did the Milan Expo 2015 simply improve hotel performance, without changing the underlying seasonal patterns (H3), or did this event reconfigure the demand structure (H4)? The analyses carried out lend more support to the fourth hypothesis, suggesting that new seasonal patterns emerged during Expo 2015.

Originality/value
This paper explores the impact of a mega event on seasonal patterns of hotel performance metrics. At least three original aspects are introduced. First, to analyze the Milan demand variation, a market segment approach that proposes an innovative seasonal matrix is developed. This is based on the three main client groups attracted by the destination. Second, the effects generated by the Expo are measured with consideration given to the four seasonal periods. Third, based on graphical and statistical analysis, the paper confirms that new seasonal patterns emerged during the Expo.

“Under the radar”: exploring “invisible” graduate attributes in tertiary dance education
Authors: Longley Alys , Kensington-Miller Barbara 
Published: January 2019

Purpose
Many graduate attributes (such as adaptability, resilience, cultural awareness and professionalism) are often considered aspirational or invisible and conventionally go “under the radar” of standard university dance education. The purpose of this paper is to add to existing theories of dance as an academic discipline and contributes to studies identifying and mapping graduate attributes across the academy.

Design/methodology/approach
The research project Making the Invisible Visible contextualises this paper. It has involved a two-year, cyclical data-gathering process, involving interviews with leading dance employers and academics, and surveys of students from diverse disciplines entering and completing full-time dance degrees.

Findings
Due to the centrality of embodiment in studio learning, dance is an unusual discipline within research on graduate attributes and holds a unique place in academia. The creative, embodied, collaborative activities typical to dance learning offer fresh insight to the literature on graduate attributes – both visible and invisible – all graduates from a given institution are expected to hold.

Originality/value
A narrative methodology is employed to present a series of amalgam characters manifesting specific ways in which invisible graduate attributes inform pedagogies, student–teacher relationships and student understandings of their professional skills.
Collaborative innovation for more value: how to make it work
Authors: Lin Haibo , Yip George , Yang Jinchun , Fu Xiaolan 
Published: January 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to focus on “how to create value from collaborative innovation,” which is a core question when companies plan open-innovation initiatives. China’s Huawei Technologies is taken as the main case study, with other companies’ practices as further examples to elaborate and validate a new yet practical model.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is based on the direct experience over many years of two Huawei technology executives – the very recent head of the technology cooperation department and the current manager of the same unit.

Findings
This study provides a spiral four-stage model, named SWIM, with each stage being a decision guided by a 2 × 2 matrix. These stages, named scope, weave, identify and modularize, try to balance resource allocation toward a foreseeable value, though it might be long term.

Research limitations/implications
The research is primarily based on one company. The validity of its recommended model can be tested only after other companies have applied it.

Practical implications
The research offers a practical framework for how companies can improve their open innovation.

Social implications
Large companies are important players in innovation networks. Improving the ability of large companies to operate open innovation will help many other companies and the society as a whole.

Originality/value
The proposed model is original and provides insights from China and is not a traditional source of management innovation. The paper will also help Western readers get a better understanding of management in what will soon be the world’s largest economy.
Shelley Seaton in conversation with Jerome Carson
Authors: Seaton Shelley , Carson Jerome 
Published: January 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide a profile of Shelley Seaton.

Design/methodology/approach
Shelley gives a short background to her life story and is then interviewed by Jerome.

Findings
Shelley tells us about a number of life events that impacted on her mental health issues, starting with childhood bullying and also abusive relationships.

Research limitations/implications
The case study approach privileges the person’s lived experience. It also lets us see the unique complexity of each person’s story.

Practical implications
Shelley received little help in the form of counselling either at school or when she experienced post-natal depression.

Social implications
When mental health problems start in childhood, schools have a vital role to play. While the bullying stopped when Shelley’s Mum went to the school, the damage was already done. She was given no support to help her through this.

Originality/value
Patricia Deegan has asked, “Could you have survived what this person has survived?” (Deegan, 1996, p. 95). Shelley’s story is a tale of survival.
Do Strict Regulators Increase the Transparency of Banks?
Authors: COSTELLO ANNA M. , GRANJA JOÃO , WEBER JOSEPH 
Published: January 2019

ABSTRACTWe investigate the role that regulatory strictness plays on the enforcement of financial reporting transparency in the U.S. banking industry. Using a novel measure of regulatory strictness in the enforcement of capital adequacy, we show that strict regulators are more likely to enforce restatements of banks' call reports. Further, we find that the effect of regulatory strictness on accounting enforcement is strongest in periods leading up to economic downturns and for banks with riskier asset portfolios. Overall, the results from our study indicate that regulatory oversight plays an important role in enforcing financial reporting transparency, particularly in periods leading up to economic crises. We interpret this evidence as inconsistent with the idea that strict bank regulators put significant weight on concerns about the potential destabilizing effects of accounting transparency.
Resistance to oxidative stress by inner membrane protein ElaB is regulated by OxyR and RpoS
Authors: Guo Yunxue , Li Yangmei , Zhan Waner , Wood Thomas K. , Wang Xiaoxue 
Published: January 2019

SummaryC‐tail anchored inner membrane proteins are a family of proteins that contain a C‐terminal transmembrane domain but lack an N‐terminal signal sequence for membrane targeting. They are widespread in eukaryotes and prokaryotes and play critical roles in membrane traffic, apoptosis and protein translocation in eukaryotes. Recently, we identified and characterized in Escherichia coli a new C‐tail anchored inner membrane, ElaB, which is regulated by the stationary phase sigma factor RpoS. ElaB is important for resistance to oxidative stress but the exact mechanism is unclear. Here, we show that ElaB functions as part of the adaptive oxidative stress response by maintaining membrane integrity. Production of ElaB is induced by oxidative stress at the transcriptional level. Moreover, elaB expression is also regulated by the key regulator OxyR via an OxyR binding site in the promoter of elaB. OxyR induces the expression of elaB in the exponential growth phase, while excess OxyR reduces elaB expression in an RpoS‐dependent way in the stationary phase. In addition, deletion of elaB reduced fitness compared to wild‐type cells after prolonged incubation. Therefore, we determined how ElaB is regulated under oxidative stress: RpoS and OxyR coordinately control the expression of inner membrane protein ElaB.
Anatomic characterization of pulmonary accessory fissures in canine cadavers
Authors: Mendoza Patricia , Giglio Robson F. , Olmo Christopher , Abbott Jeffrey R. , Johnson Richard D. , Berry Clifford R. 
Published: January 2019

AbstractAccessory fissures in the lungs are well described in humans, considered a normal finding, being identified in 60% of autopsied lungs, and more prevalent in the right lung (Gesase, ; Nene, Gajendra, & Sarma, 2011). In dogs, interlobar fissures are well recognized, but there is the lack of anatomic characterization for accessory fissures in the accessible literature. The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify the prevalence and to describe the anatomic localization of accessory fissures. The lungs from 87 dog cadavers used to teach veterinary gross anatomy were collected. Accessory fissures were characterized for each lung lobe, specific lung lobe location, orientation, length and the number of accessory fissures per lobe. Accessory fissures were recognized in 48/87 (55%) of canine lungs, all located in the periphery of the individual lobes. We found a significant association between the presence of accessory fissures and the costal surface of the lung (p < 0.0001), the right lung (p < 0.004), the right cranial lung lobe (p < 0.002) and the left cranial lung lobe (p < 0.04). Histologic results showed normal alveolar and respiratory bronchioles to the level of the accessory fissures. Our results show that accessory fissures are a common finding and should be considered a normal variant. They are more prevalent in the right lung, in the costal surface, and in the right and left cranial lung lobes. An anatomic nomenclature for accessory fissures based on the current Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria and the human literature is proposed. Further studies include a comparison among anatomical accessory fissures, and radiographic and computed tomographic images.
A Diachronic Study of Networks of Ceramic Assemblage Similarity in Neolithic Western Anatolia, the Aegean and the Balkans (c.6600–5500 bc)
Authors: de Groot B. G. 
Published: January 2019

This study compares the results of Jaccard and Kulczynski‐2 similarity measures on a sample of ceramic assemblages to reveal spatio‐temporal patterns in the relationship between Neolithic sites in western Anatolia and south‐eastern Europe (c.6600–5500 bc). The results show that the relationship between spatial distance and ceramic assemblage similarity has increased through time, which supports previous interpretations of leapfrog migrations and subsequent regionalization in ceramic assemblages during the Neolithic. A diachronic network analysis demonstrates the continuation of Aegean networking after the spread of farming.
Encountering the city: Haptic images of suburban Darwin
Authors: Lobo Michele 
Published: January 2019

Photographs by research participants capture the multisensory dimension of encounters in shared public spaces that are often difficult to articulate in words. Rather than freezing the moment in stillness, these images of movement and feeling that fuse vision, sound, touch, taste and smell show how racially differentiated bodies explore the city through practices that are part of their everyday life. This paper draws on photographs and poetry by long‐term residents of Aboriginal and ethnic‐minority backgrounds who express what touches or happens to their bodies in open‐air Asian‐style markets of Darwin, a rapidly developing tropical north Australian city. Such attention to bodily encounters is central to more‐than‐representational and feminist approaches that affirm the diversity, materiality and vitality of urban life. In this paper I argue that Deleuzian thinking on images and Elizabeth Grosz's non‐aesthetic philosophy for art contributes to this literature by providing an insight into how sensing bodies use photography and poetry to make imperceptible affective forces and matter expressive. The paper shows that such an approach is productive in thinking about the potentialities of city life for bodies of colour with different histories and geographies of racialisation.
Spatial variations in intestinal skatole production and microbial composition in broilers
Authors: Yang Guiqin , Zhang Pei , Liu Haiying , Zhu Xin , Dong Weiguo 
Published: January 2019

AbstractSpatial variations in intestinal skatole production and microbial composition in broilers were evaluated. Fifteen 42‐day‐old broilers were slaughtered. Samples were taken from the broilers’ ileum, cecum, and rectum and analyzed for skatole levels. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) technique was used to analyze the microbial community from the intestinal digesta. The skatole levels could be arranged in decreasing order: cecum > rectum > ileum. Cecal lactate and acetate levels were higher than those of ileum and rectum (p < 0.01). Cecal microbial diversity and richness were higher than those of ileum (p < 0.05). One specific DGGE band was found in cecal sample and is closely related to Bacteroides uniformis. Cecum and rectum samples consisted of three coexistence bands, the related bacteria included Lactobacillus vaginalis and two members of Candidatus Arthromitus. The total bacterial population in cecum was higher than that in ileum and rectum (p < 0.05). Skatole levels were positively correlated with microbial Shannon‐Wiener index, richness, total bacteria (p < 0.01) and Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium (p < 0.05) populations. These results suggest that the variations in fermentation patterns are more likely to explain differences in intestinal skatole level. Bacteroides uniformis may play a role in the production of skatole.
