Analysis of Short and Long Wave Radiation over Bengaluru
Authors: M Akshay KamsaliNagaraja 
Published: June 2019

The surface radiative energy remains the primary component of the energy balance of the earth atmosphere system and is a central determinant of the earth‟s climate. Energy is exchanged between the surface and the air radiatively at visible and infrared wavelengths through conduction, convection or latently. This energy at the surface of earth is important to many inter-related research disciplines such as atmospheric sciences, hydrology, agrometeorology and climatology. The incoming short wave radiation is a primary source for photosynthetic activity and the hydrological cycle. The availability of surface radiation is also important for architects and solar engineers. It gives an accurate estimate of the available solar energy resource. Energy exchange between land and atmosphere are important in climatic processes. In this paper, the diurnal and seasonal dynamics and variations of surface radiation components are investigated. One year data is used to emphasize the separate contribution of each radiation balance component. The analysis shows important results such as

Published: June 2019

A dominating set $D$ of a graph $G$ which is also a resolving set of $G$ is called a metro dominating set. A metro dominating set $D$ of a graph $G(V,E)$ is a unique metro dominating set (in short an UMD-set) if $|N(v) \cap D| = 1$ for each vertex $v\in V-D$ and the minimum cardinality of an UMD-set of $G$ is the unique metro domination number of $G$. In this paper, we determine unique metro domination number of $P_n\times P_2$.
Methods to Identify Star Clusters in The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)

Published: June 2019

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) hosts a few thousand star clusters which are ideal tools to study stellar evolution, star formation history, cluster formation and dissolution processes in the galaxy. Although many surveys (like IRSF, OGLE II etc) of the LMC have been carried out, a large fraction of clusters, mainly poor ones are yet to be identified. Also, the parameters of already identified clusters are not well studied. In this context, we have tried to explore that among the available and upcoming surveys which survey (optical/NIR) can be used to efficiently detect and study the clusters in the LMC. We have found that the available OGLE-III optical data is ideal for this purpose, but only for young clusters, whereas Deeper optical data from DECAM survey, OGLE-IV and skymapper are ideal to study poor and old clusters. We have also found that one can combine the ongoing VISTA data with upcoming optical data (OGLE IV) and estimate the cluster parameters more accurately.
The Value of Constitutional Values: With the Examples of the Bavarian and the Indian Constitution
Authors: Bauer Christian A , Bolsinger Harald J 
Published: June 2019

The Bavarian and the Indian constitutions were developed in almost the same period of time. Because of historic experiences the prospect of legal certainty was the determining factor for the representatives of the people in India and Bavaria. They elaborated functioning constitutions and integrated their fundamental ideological principles quite naturally. The Indian and the Bavarian constitution are characterized by their aspirations to balance social injustice, particularly by striking a balance between individual liberty and social need.The history of political economy demonstrates a broad variety of interpretations regarding the meaning and function of value concepts. When we review all these value concepts we identify two poles of the value-concept that still lack compatibility with each other in economical and philosophical schools to this day. Value systems have to be applied situation-sensitive and are in need of a frequent critical reflection; they need to be refused or changed if necessary.Examining some examples of the Bavarian Constitution, we indicate some concordances with regard to contents of the Indian Constitutional Law. The equivalences in the Bavarian and the Indian Constitution incorporate entitlements which should protect citizens against an unjustified economical assault upon their existence.
The social value conflicts that occur more and more because of the hiatus to the constitutionally warranted values, and that cannot be solved simply by law or political adjustment, are therefore up for discussion. We then examine the disparity between entitlements and reality and discuss the hierarchy of our values.

Published: June 2019

The personality of an individual develops under the influence of various determinants, of which the family and school environment is dominant. Although the family has to primary influence on creating a child´s personality, the school as an educational institution links up its work and supplements it appropriately.The present publication draws attention to the influence of the family and school in a process of socializing the child. It analyzes particularities of the socialization process in the educational environment of the family and the school as well as the factors determining this process such us Education, family structure, emotional relationships, socio-cultural and economic conditions of the family, interactions and relationships in school, teacher's teaching style, personality and professional elements of the teacher's personality, his / her relationship to pupils, and so on. The authors highlight the shared responsibility of the family and school for socializing and educating the personality of the child.
Perseguição de bugio infante (Alouatta fusca) por macacos-prego (Cebus apella): predação ou brincadeira?

Published: June 2019

Macacos-prego (
Cebus apella) e bugios (
Alouattasp.) são espécies simpátricas em diversas áreas do Brasil, mas não foram encontrados registros de interações sociais entre essas espécies. Nesse trabalho será descrito um evento de interação entre um grupo de macacos-prego e dois bugios.
Os animais habitam o Parque Ecológico de Tietê, em uma Área de Preservação de180.000 m
2. O grupo de macacos-prego é composto de 17 indivíduos e não há registrode quantos bugios vivem na área; durante a interação registrada, foram observados apenas um filhote e um adulto. O evento foi gravado em VHS, com foco no filhote de bugio.
No episódio houve perseguições e mordidas ao filhote de bugio, além de uma queda deste provocada pelos macacos-prego. O episódio durou aproximadamente 21 minutos, com a participação de 10 indivíduos do grupo de macacos-prego (3 adultos, 2 subadultos, 3 juvenis e dois infantes). Uma fêmea subadulta foi a que mais interagiu com o bugio (14 vezes), seguida por um macho juvenil, um macho adulto e outra fêmea subadulta (8 vezes). Durante a interação alguns pregos puxaram e morderam o filhote, que emitia vocalizações. Em alguns instantes durante o evento, as fêmeas subadultas e um macho subadulto apresentaram comportamentos característicos de ameaça, como eriçar os pêlos e mostrar os dentes.
Existem registros de que macacos-prego predam mamíferos de pequeno porte. Esse evento se assemelhou a uma tentativa de captura, tendo em vista as exibições de ameaça, o elevado número de indivíduos envolvidos e o grande tempo despendido, entretanto a predação não ocorreu. Nos raros encontros entre as duas espécies no local, as interações nunca passaram de ameaça por parte dos pregos a bugios adultos. Outra hipótese seria a curiosidade provocada pela novidade da situação de encontro com o filhote bugio, dada a grande excitação demonstrada pelos pregos e a participação de juvenis e infantes, o que permitiria caracterizar o episódio como brincadeira. Interações interespecíficas parecidas já foram observadas no Parque entre macacos-prego e quatis, envolvendo desde o roubo e morte de recém-nascidos de ninhos, sem predação, até o grooming e a brincadeira recíproca.

Insomnia in patients with migraine
Authors: Evdokimova E. M. , Tabeeva G. R. 
Published: June 2019

Objective: to evaluate the significance of insomnia and chronobiological patterns in the development of headache (HA) attacks for the formation of clinical features of migraine and for the elaboration of strategies for its prevention.Patients and methods. A prospective comparative study was conducted in 60 patients aged 18–65 years who were diagnosed as having migraine (with or without aura) with comorbid sleep disorder. Group 1 consisted of 30 patients with migraine and insomnia; Group 2 comprised 30 patients with migraine without insomnia. The study participation included four visits to a physician for 12 months.Results and discussion. Persistent sleep disorders in patients with migraine were shown to worsen the course of the underlying disease: HA attacks had a greater intensity, mainly left-sided localization and a longer duration. Group 1 patients were observed to have a chronic course of the disease with a frequency of ≥8 attacks per month in 33% of cases. Analysis of biological rhythms revealed that individuals with evening and mildly evening chronotypes were characterized by the greatest changes in the sleep-wake cycle, by sleep deprivation and its reduced efficiency. Analysis of the data of HA and sleep diaries kept by the patients for 12 months showed that Group 1 had four peaks of the daily distribution of HA attacks; 13.4% of attacks occurred during sleep and early morning.Conclusion. The coexistence of sleep disorders and HA is not only manifested as the overlapping of clinical manifestation, but also largely determines their natural course and prognosis, i.e. their progression into a chronic form. Therefore, it is imperative to identify sleep disorders in migraines, since their correction is effective and, in most cases, allows chronic HA to progress to an episodic form.

Objective: to study the association of DRD2/ANKK1 Taq1A polymorphism with depression in an open 45–64-year-old male population from Novosibirsk.Patients and methods. A representative sample of an open 45–64-year-old male population (n=781) was surveyed within Screening IV of the international HAPIEE program and the WHO MONICA-psychosocial program in 2003–2005. All the study participants filled out the WHO MONICA-psychosocial Program Depression Scale. The DRD2/ANKK1 Taq1A C32806T (rs 1800497) polymorphism was genotyped using the published methods within the budgeting topic. The Pearson's chi-square (2) test was applied to test the statistical significance of differences between the groups. Significance in all types of analysis was taken at p ≤0.05.Results and discussion. The prevalence of depression in the open 45–64-year-old male population was 36.3%: 13.5% of the examinees had severe depression (SD) and 22.8% had moderate depression (MD). A comparative intergroup analysis showed that the odds ratio (OR) for the incidence of SD was 3.86 times higher in the T/C genotype carriers than in the C/C genotype ones, who, on the contrary, had no depression; the OR for the incidence of SD was also 3.28 times higher in the T/C genotype carriers, while MD was more common in the homozygous C/C genotype carriers. The OR for the incidence of SD was 2.63 times higher in the DRD2 T allele carriers than in the C allele carriers who did not suffer from depression in most cases.Conclusion. A significant association was established between the carriage of Taq1A (T allele) and depression in 45–64-year-old males.
Attachment Orientations Moderate the Self-Amplifying Cycle of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Negative Cognitions—A Seven-Year Longitudinal Study
Authors: Levin Yafit , Mikulincer Mario , Solomon Zahava 
Published: June 2019

Introduction: We examined whether attachment orientations moderated the self-amplifying cycle of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and negative cognitions, decades after the trauma ended. Method: We sampled Israeli veterans from the 1973 Yom Kippur War and assessed PTSD severity and cognitions about the self and the world, twice—35 (T1) and 42 (T2) years after the war. At T1, we assessed participants’ attachment orientations (anxiety, avoidance). Results: Findings provided support for a self-amplifying cycle of PTSD severity and negative cognitions about others’ benevolence during the seven-year study period. Findings also indicated that this self-amplifying cycle was significant only among veterans who scored relatively high on attachment anxiety but not among those who had less anxious attachment. Attachment avoidance also moderated the prospective contribution of negative cognitions about the self and others to PTSD severity seven years later. Discussion: The psychological mechanisms underlying the observed effects of attachment orientations were discussed.

Methods for Processing Information of Radar Topographic Survey for Solving the Tasks for Determining Heights and Wood Stocks For Forest Stands
Authors: Chernikhovsky Dmitry , Alekseev Alexander 
Published: June 2019

The paper studies the possibilities of using global elevation models SRTM (Shuttle radar topographic mission) to assess the characteristics of forest stands – average heights and wood stocks. It is known that in process of radar shooting vegetation is considered as a barrier to correctly determining the height of the earth’s surface. The surface, fixed by the sensors above the forest covered territory (scattering phase center height), is located in the upper part of the forest canopy. The review of publications confirms the relevance of this area of investigation in the world. , A brief theoretical basis of the SRTM survey, factors determining the values of the heights and the errors associated with them are presented based on literature reviews. The possibility of determining the height of forest canopy based on evaluation models is shown.
The part of Uchebno-Opytnoe Forest District of the Leningrad region was chosen as the model territory. The geographic information databases, data of radar survey SRTM and topographic maps were the origin data for the study. The model territory is divided by a regular network into cells with 1 km step. Most of the territory is covered with forest vegetation. Relief modeling was performed on the basis of digitized topographic maps of 1:25000 scale by interpolation using TIN method. A visual and statistical comparison of both evaluation models – a surface model (based on SRTM radar survey data) and a relief model (based on topographic maps) was done. With help of the profiles construction an assessment of the nature of changes in the heights of the relief and surface models was performed. It is noted that for most of the model territory, the differences in height between the surface and relief models are 15-20 m. The convergence of graphs for heights is observed in areas, which are not covered with forest vegetation.
The set of linear regression dependencies between the scattering phase center heights (independent variable) and average heights or wood stocks (dependent variable) within the borders of forest compartments, grouped by the predominated tree species, was obtained. The influence on the closeness of the relationship and the value of the regression coefficient of such factors as the value of basal area and the share of predominant tree species in composition was found.
The established regularities can be used to improve the theory and practice of forest inventory, as well as to solve other problems related to the assessment of natural resources at the regional and global level (national forest inventory, carbon stock determination, assessment of biomass).
Problems of Choosing Optimization Method for Next-Generation Aviation Radio Control Systems
Authors: Verba Vladimir , Merkulov Vladimir 
Published: June 2019

Analysis of the trends of military-technical confrontation in the aerospace sector allows us to identify a number of areas that directly affect the information and control side of the operation of aviation radio control systems, including: group use of means of attack and defence; the qualitative complexity of the laws of the mutual spatial placement of the aircraft; high dynamics, nonstationarity of environment; use of control modes and information support on the verge of buckling, which is characteristic of super-maneuverable aircraft and intensively maneuvering targets tracking systems; the discrepancy of the dynamic properties of airborne targets and interceptors; growing complexity of information support algorithms.
Mathematical apparatus used for synthesis of aircraft control systems must provide: effective guidance on targets maneuvering under complex laws, including the change of signs of derivatives; guaranteed withdrawal from the boundaries of stable (dangerous) work, including collision prevention in groups; accounting for the discrepancy between the dynamic properties; redistribution of control priorities in the guidance process; universality of the formation of guidance methods and feasibility of information support algorithms.
Analysis of the possibilities of classical optimization methods based on minimization of quadratic quality functionals showed that they are not able to meet the totality of these requirements and thus new approaches are required.
As such, it is proposed to use the synthesis of control signals that are optimal for a minimum of quadratic-biquadrate quality functional.
The application of this approach in the framework of computationally efficient local optimization is considered.
An example of the synthesis of a method of guidance, illustrating the possibility of the formation of control signals, providing guidance of inertial aircraft to intensively maneuvering targets accounting for both linear and nonlinear dependences on the operation errors and the mismatch of the dynamic characteristics of the target and interceptor.

Aim. To determine the set of significant risk factors for arterial hypertension (AH) in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Material and methods. The study included two groups of patients with RA: group 1 — women with AH (n=162), group 2 women without AH (n=61). Clinical, laboratory, instrumental examination of patients and determination of risk factors (RF) for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in RA were provided according to Association of Rheumatologists of Russia (ARR 2017) and the Russian Society of Cardiology (RSC, 2017) guidelines. Salt taste sensitivity threshold (STST) was studied with R. J. Henkin’s modified method. The analysis of the internal body fluids was made with bioimpedance analysis. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated with MDRD equation (K/DOQI, 2002). Statistical data were obtained with “Statistica 10” software. Logit regression analysis was used to identify the correlation between RF and AH.Results. The predictors of AH in RA were: age over 55 years (p=0,001), early menopause (p=0,001), increased total blood cholesterol (р=0,001), prednisolone intake more than 10 mg/day (p=0,001), early family history of CVD (p=0,01), decreased GFR less than 60 ml/min/1,73 m. (p=0,01), high STST (p=0,01), unbalanced nutrition (p=0,01), pregnancy pathology (p=0,01), high activity of the inflammatory process (p=0,01), psychosocial factors (stress, anxiety, depression) (p=0,01), obesity (p=0,01), duration of RA more than 10 years (p=0,01). There were 2 times more salt-sensitive patients among women with RA and AH than those with RA and without AH (87 and 48%, respectively). Increased fluid in the body was observed with decreased natriuresis; it implied the presence of volume-dependent hypertension (VDH).Conclusion. The study demonstrated the significance of determining the set of predictors such as cardiometabolic, gender, psychosocial, disease-mediated, renal ones. The importance of STST in RA is evident. The information about AH predictors allows to create individual recommendations to correct modifiable RF and prescribe therapy for women with RA. The conducted research will enable to optimize the follow-up process of the patients and reduce the mortality from cardiovascular complications.

Aim. To assess the role of remodeling of small diameter kidney arteries in the prognosis of progression of tubulointerstitial fibrosis in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis.Material and methods. The study involved 97 patients with primary glomerulonephritis. The average age of patients was 37,27±1,2 years. The inclusion criterion was the presence of indications for renal biopsy. Renal biopsy was used to analyze renal tissue, in particular, for determining of tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF). Based on TIF sign, the patients were divided in 2 groups. The first group includes patients with TIF, the second — without TIF. Vasometry, a measurement of the renal arteries structures, was performed as part of renal biopsy. Parameters of internal and external diameters, wall thickness, intima, media, intima-media complex, vascular mass were analyzed.Results. The influence of the size of the inner and outer diameters of the interlobular artery (MA) on the studied risk was established. Probability of TIF developing increases with decreasing of MA inner diameter (χ2-criterion =5,34, p=0,02) and increasing of MA outer diameter (χ2-criterion =7,77, p=0,005). Intimal thickness does not have a statistically significant effect on the risk of TIF developing (p=0,29), whereas media thickness has a high statistical significance in renal tissue remodeling (χ2-criterion =13,71, p=0,0002). A statistically significant effect of an increase in the vascular mass on the risk of TIF was determined (χ2-criterion =6,55, p=0,01).Conclusion. We established that changes in the structure of small diameter kidney arteries in chronic glomerulonephritis occurs according to a hypertrophic type. Remodeling of small diameter kidney arteries plays significant role on the risk of TIF.
