The Accumulative Effect of Concentric‐Biased and Eccentric‐ Biased Exercise on Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Responses to Subsequent Low‐Intensity Exercise: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Gavin James Peter , Myers Stephen , Theodorus Willems Mark Elisabeth 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The study investigated the accumulative effect of concentric-biased and eccentric-biased exercise on cardiorespiratory, metabolic and neuromuscular responses to low-intensity exercise performed hours later. Fourteen young men cycled at low-intensity (~60 rpm at 50% maximal oxygen uptake) for 10 min before, and 12 h after: concentric-biased, single-leg cycling exercise (CON) (performed ~19:30 h) and eccentric-biased, double-leg knee extension exercise (ECC) (~06:30 h the following morning). Respiratory measures were sampled breath-by-breath, with oxidation values derived from stoichiometry equations. Knee extensor neuromuscular function was assessed before and after CON and ECC. Cardiorespiratory responses during low-intensity cycling were unchanged by accumulative CON and ECC. The RER was lower during low-intensity exercise 12 h after CON and ECC (0.88 ± 0.08), when compared to baseline (0.92 ± 0.09; p = 0.02). Fat oxidation increased from baseline (0.24 ± 0.2 g·min1) to 12 h after CON and ECC (0.39 ± 0.2 g·min1; p = 0.01). Carbohydrate oxidation decreased from baseline (1.59 ± 0.4 g·min-1) to 12 h after CON and ECC (1.36 ± 0.4 g·min1; p = 0.03). These were accompanied by knee extensor force loss (right leg: -11.6%, p < 0.001; left leg: -10.6%, p = 0.02) and muscle soreness (right leg: 2.5 ± 0.9, p < 0.0001; left leg: 2.3 ± 1.2, p < 0.01). Subsequent concentric-biased and eccentric-biased exercise led to increased fat oxidation and decreased carbohydrate oxidation, without impairing cardiorespiration, during low-intensity cycling. An accumulation of fatiguing and damaging exercise increases fat utilisation during low intensity exercise performed as little as 12 h later.
Talk talk, not just small talk. Exploring English contrastive focus reduplication with the help of corpora
Authors: Widlitzki Bianca 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Contrastive focus reduplication (CR) is a type of reduplication in English which picks out a prototypical or intensified reading of the reduplicated element and shows contrastive stress on the reduplicant: for instance, speakers may use talk talk to indicate that a ‘real talk’ - as opposed to e.g. ‘just small talk’- took place. The present paper pursues an empirical, corpus-linguistic approach to CR: Based on three mega-corpora of contemporary English, the following aspects in particular are investigated: the importance of the co-text of CR, the possibility of emerging default interpretations for some frequent CRs, and the function(s) CR serves in discourse. In addition, it contains the first analysis of the sociolinguistics of the phenomenon, based on a corpus of blogs. It emerges that contrasts and/or synonyms are commonly employed to clarify the meaning of CR - most frequently in the form of the unreduplicated base (not talk, but talk talk) or an explanatory phrase (talk talk, by which I mean a serious conversation). CR is most frequent in blogs maintained by women and by young speakers. Its presence in blogs shows that CR is not limited to (fictional representations of) spoken dialogue. Though generally rare, it is also found in other genres (such as fiction, news, and even academic prose). Apart from its disambiguating function, CR is also used for creative purposes (as a kind of wordplay) and apparently serves to build rapport between interlocutors (or bloggers and readers) via reference to common ground.
General Purpose Technologies and their Implications for International Trade
Authors: Petsas Iordanis 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This paper develops a simple model of trade and “quality-ladders” growth without scale effects to study the implications of general purpose technologies (GPTs) for international trade. GPTs refer to a certain type of drastic innovations, such as electrification, the transistor, and the Internet, that are characterized by the pervasiveness in use, innovational complementarities, and technological dynamism. The model presents a two-country (Home and Foreign) dynamic general equilibrium framework and incorporates GPT diffusion within Home that exhibits endogenous Schumpeterian growth. The model analyzes the long-run and transitional dynamic effects of a new GPT on the pattern of trade and relative wages. The main findings of the paper are: 1) when the GPT diffusion across industries is governed by S-curve dynamics, there are two steady-state equilibria: the initial steadystate arises before the adoption of the new GPT and the final one is reached after the GPT diffusion process has been completed, 2) when all industries at Home have adopted the new GPT, Home enjoys comparative advantage in a greater range of industries compared to Foreign, 3) during the transitional dynamics, Foreign gains back its competitiveness in some of the industries that lost its comparative advantage to Home.
Social Desirability Bias and Earnings Management around the World
Authors: Niszczota Paweł 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In this paper we test whether inter-country variation in individuals’ tendency to conform, as measured by the Lie (social desirability) scale used in the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, can explain differences in the propensity to employ corporate earnings management around the world. Such a link is feasible, given that survey data suggest executives tend to be under severe pressure to meet earnings benchmarks, to which they often succumb by engaging in earnings management (to the detriment of the company’s long-term prospects). We hypothesize that in countries where the propensity to act in a socially desirable (outsider-satisfying) way is stronger, earnings management should be more prevalent. Research results support our hypothesis, and demonstrate the existence of a positive relationship between the prevalence of earnings management in a country and the mean score of individuals from that country on the Eysenck Lie scale, which further evidences that capital market pressure is a significant determinant of earnings management.

Authors: Sarkar Saurabh , Roy Sumedha 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Pesticides are one of the major sources of environmental toxicity and contamination. This study reports potential of lepidopteran insecticide formulation, named Flubendiamide, in altering compound eye architecture and bristle pattern orientation for four consecutive generations (P, F1, F2 and F3) in a non-target diptera, Drosophila melanogaster Meigen (Diptera: Drosophilidae). The concentrations of the insecticide formulation selected for treatment of Drosophila (50 and 100 μg/mL) were in accordance with practiced Indian field doses (50 μg/mL for rice and 100 μg/mL for cotton). This study showed trans-generational insecticide-induced changes in the morphology of the compound eyes of the non-target insect D. melanogaster.
Hilbert Transformation Impulse Response
Authors: Sulima Mariusz 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This work presents a new DHT impulse response function based on the proposed nonlinear equation system obtained as a result of combining the DHT and IDHT equation systems. In the case of input time series with selected characteristics, the DHT results obtained using this impulse response function are characterised by a higher accuracy compared to the DHT results obtained based on the convolution using other known DHT impulse response functions. The results are also characterised by a higher accuracy than the DHT results obtained using the popular indirect DHT method based on discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Analysis of these example time series with selected characteristics was performed based on the signal-to-noise ratio.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
A method for determination of the Hurst exponent based on Analysis of Variance for processing of medical data sequences is proposed in the paper. It is compared to the “rescaled adjusted range method” developed by Hurst and applied in this paper to heart rate variability data. The obtained results and the performed comparative analysis demonstrate the possibility for effective application of the proposed method in novel medical information systems.
An Approach for Ontology Based Information Extraction
Authors: Borisova N. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
An approach for Ontology based Information Extraction (OBIE) from unstructured text in the Bulgarian language is presented in this paper. The presented method and algorithm provide a solution for automatic data extraction from text documents exploiting ontologies. To this end, in addition to the standard tools for processing language resources in an open source free software, a dictionary-based lemmatizer for Bulgarian has been developed and integrated. It is distributed as free software, publicly available to download and use under the GPL v3 license. Due to the specifics of inflection in Bulgarian the developed tools for lemmatization will contribute to improving the results of the POS tagger. This approach will offer opportunities for developing a dynamically created gazetteer that is, in combination with a few other generic GATE resources, capable of producing ontologybased annotations over the given content with regards to the given ontology. This algorithm can also be used in the processes of content creation and management of information and knowledge.

Perturbation Analysis of the Continuous-time Regional Pole Assignment and H2 Performance Control Problems: an LMI Approach
Authors: Yonchev A. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In the paper a method to conduct perturbation analysis of regional pole assignment and H2 performance control problems for linear continuous-time systems are investigated. The studied control problems are based on solving LMIs (Linear Matrix Inequalities) and applying Lyapunov functions. The problem of performing sensitivity analysis of the perturbed matrix inequalities is done in a similar way as for perturbed matrix equations, after introducing a slightly perturbed right hand part. The calculated perturbation bounds can be used to analyze the feasibility and performance of the considered control problems in presence of perturbations in the system and the controller. An illustrative numerical example is also discussed in this paper.
Numerical solutions of the generalized Burgers-Huxley equation by implicit exponential finite difference method
Authors: İnan B. , Bahadir A. R. 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In this paper, numerical solutions of the generalized Burgers-Huxley equation are obtained using a new technique of forming improved exponential finite difference method. The technique is called implicit exponential finite difference method for the solution of the equation. Firstly, the implicit exponential finite difference method is applied to the generalized Burgers-Huxley equation. Since the generalized Burgers-Huxley equation is nonlinear the scheme leads to a system of nonlinear equations. Secondly, at each time-step Newton’s method is used to solve this nonlinear system then linear equations system is obtained. Finally, linear equations system is solved using Gauss elimination method at each time-step. The numerical solutions obtained by this way are compared with the exact solutions and obtained by other methods to show the efficiency of the method.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
In this paper, a likely situation of a set of decision maker’s with bi-objectives in case of fuzzy multi-choice goal programming is considered. The problem is then carefully formulated as a bi-objective bilevel programming problem (BOBPP) with multiple fuzzy aspiration goals, fuzzy cost coefficients and fuzzy decision variables. Using Ranking method the fuzzy bi-objective bilevel programming problem (FBOBPP) is converted into a crisp model. The transformed problem is further solved by adopting a two level Stackelberg game theory and fuzzy decision model of Sakawa. A numerical with hypothetical values is also used to illustrate the problem.

Authors: Benedek Theodora , Dobreanu Dan 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a critical condition which often complicates the evolution of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). At the same time, co-existence of chronic multi-vessel disease can lead to the development of cardiogenic shock in cases with pronounced haemodynamic instability. Different clinical studies have tried to identify the most appropriate treatment for critical cases of CS complicating AMI. This review aims to present the current status of recommended therapeutic strategies for severe cases of CS presenting as a complication of AMI, and try to shed light on the most appropriate therapeutic strategy as outlined in the current literature. The paper will discuss the different current strategies available for use in the treatment of this condition, includig interventional revascularisation, (complete or culprit), the role of new devices for providing mechanical circulatory support, and the potential role of new drug therapies and of hypothermia.
A Reinforcement Routing Algorithm with Access Selection in the Multi–Hop Multi–Interface Networks
Authors: Jafari Amir Hosein , Shahhoseini Hadi Shahriar 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In this paper, a routing algorithm is proposed for access selection in a network to find the optimal paths among intermediate nodes with multiple interfaces. Markov Decision Process is applied in each node to find optimal policy and select proper paths to the best access point in a dynamic environment. A reward function is defined as environment feedback to optimize and adapt routing behavior of nodes based on the local information. Selection metrics in each node are interface load, link quality and destination condition. It is shown, by using the proposed algorithm, there are better management in the node which decreases interference and collision and selects links with better quality toward the best possible destination. The performance of the method is exemplified and it is shown how the throughput and average delay of the network with more interface in its nodes, improved while packet loss degrades. As an example a two-interface and a one-interface network are studied. It is shown when network load is increased, interface management will improve the throughput, in the network with two-interface nodes. Also, by considering the link quality factor in the reward function, packet dropping becomes less but average delay increases.

Authors: Palcu Pavel , Morostes Anca Florina 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
While conducting research on the scene or during the entire phase of criminal prosecution, especially for the identification of the authors or settlement of the controversial circumstances, criminal profiling by a forensic psychologist will reduce the circle of suspects, as well as provide assistance in determining possible connections with other crimes and offer to judicial organs sustainable strategies for the solution of the case. In addition to identifying and processing the material traces found on the scene, concern falling strictly within forensics, in the future, efforts against criminality of the third millennium will be oriented towards the interpretation of human behaviour with criminogenic finality.
The influence of accounting system regarding accounting and taxation of entities
Authors: Mates Dorel , Puscas Adriana , Ursachi Antonela , Ajtay Eduard 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Accounting and taxation in Romania at the beginning of the third millennium are in continuous development, as a result of globalization of the world economy and of connecting the accounting and tax system to the international and European one.
The confluence of the two representative cultures – Anglo-Saxon and Latin-European – has left a strong mark on the Romanian accounting and taxation.
The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the European Directives set the line to follow for both the Romanian accounting and the Romanian taxation. We get to ask whether Romania has still got its own strategies of economic, social and cultural development or we are part of a system of strategies where accounting is also included?

Summary
Background: Slow coronary flow (SCF) is a coronary artery disorder characterized with delayed opacification of epicardial coronary arteries without obstructive coronary disease. The pathophysiological mechanisms of SCF remain un clear. One of the possible mechanisms that may participate in the pathology of SCF is endothelial dysfunction related to the inflammatory process. Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is an inflammatory cytokine that acts through its specific receptor composed of two subunits, IFN-γR1 and IFN-γR2. Trans criptional activity of the gene encoding these subunits influences IFN-γ activity. This study aimed to investigate the gene expression of IFN-γ receptor subunits in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with SCF.
Methods: The study was performed with 30 patients (22 male/8 female) aged 35–76 (52.8±11.7 years) with SCF and 15 sex-(11 male/4 female), Body Max Index (BMI)-and age-matched (54.73±9.42 years) healthy subjects. Total mRNA was extracted from PBMC and was determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relative expression values (2−ΔΔCt) between control and case groups were determined and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis.
Results: There was a significant increase in the gene expression of IFN-γR1 in PBMC from SCF patients vs. controls (P< 0.0001); but the differences in IFN-γR2 gene expression were statistically insignificant between patient and control groups (P= 0.853).
Conclusions: It can be concluded that IFN-γR1 gene expression may influence the function of microvasculature and thereby contribute to the pathophysiology of SCF.

Authors: Vidan Cristian , Jula Nicolae , Timmerman Martin , Haelterman Robby 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
In the high voltage domain, the Corona discharge represents one of the most disturbing problems for the companies that transport electricity. Corona discharge is an electrical discharge brought on by the ionization of a fluid surrounding a conductor that is electrically energized. To combat this phenomenon it is necessary to keep high voltage power lines under surveillance and try to maintain losses at a reasonable value. The best manner to do this thing is by using a fixed-wing unmanned aircraft vehicle having on board the necessary sensors for detecting Corona discharge. In this paper we will focus on extracting and detecting high voltage lines from the images received from an UAV which will be analyzed using a number ofMATLAB functions. To detect lines into an image the Radon transformwill be used which is an integral transform that maps a function to its integrals over lines.
