Authors: Sądej Wiera , Żołnowski Andrzej Cezary , Marczuk Olga 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe objective of the study was to compare the impact of three systems of multiannual fertilization applied in two long-term field experiments on the content of phenolic compounds in the soil. In the study, both natural (manure, slurry) and mineral (NPK) fertilizers were used, along with combined, organic-and-mineral fertilization. Experiment I was established in 1972 on grey brown podzolic soil; experiment II, in 1973 on brown soil. In both experiments crops were cultivated in a 7-year rotation, with a 75% share of cereals. The experimental samples were taken from the top layer of soil after 36 (experiment I) and 35 (experiment II) years following the establishment of the experiments. It was demonstrated that the presence of phenolic compounds in the soils was significantly dependent on the contents of organic C and total N, type of soil and the type and dose of used fertilizers. In grey brown podzolic soil, the content of total phenolic compounds was at a lower level than the content found in brown soil. Multiannual fertilization contributed to an increase in the content of total phenolic compounds in relation to the values obtained in control objects, which was particularly reflected in the soil originating from objects fertilized with slurry applied at a dose being equivalent to manure in terms of the amount of introduced organic carbon. The percentage of water-soluble phenols in the total content of these compounds in grey brown podzolic soil was at the level of 18.4%, while in brown soil it amounted to 29.1%.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
Applying the method of path searching based on distribution network topology in setting software has a good effect, and the path searching method containing DG power source is also applicable to the automatic generation and division of planned islands after the fault. This paper applies path searching algorithm in the automatic division of planned islands after faults: starting from the switch of fault isolation, ending in each power source, and according to the line load that the searching path traverses and the load integrated by important optimized searching path, forming optimized division scheme of planned islands that uses each DG as power source and is balanced to local important load. Finally, COBASE software and distribution network automation software applied are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the realization of such automatic restoration program.
Modelling of the soft X-ray tungsten spectra expected to be registered by GEM detection system for WEST
Authors: Syrocki Łukasz , Szymańska Ewa , Słabkowska Katarzyna , Polasik Marek , Pestka Grzegorz 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
In the future International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the interaction between the plasma and the tungsten chosen as the plasma-facing wall material imposes that the hot central plasma loses energy by X-ray emission from tungsten ions. On the other hand, the registered X-ray spectra provide alternative diagnostics of the plasma itself. Highly ionized tungsten emits extremely complex X-ray spectra that can be understood only after exhaustive theoretical studies. The detailed analyses will be useful for proper interpretation of soft X-ray plasma radiation expected to be registered on ITER-like machines, that is, Tungsten (W) Environment in Steady-state Tokamak (WEST). The simulations of the soft X-ray spectra structures for tungsten ions have been performed using the flexible atomic code (FAC) package within the framework of collisional-radiative (CR) model approach for electron temperatures and densities relevant to WEST tokamak.
Estimating the unconfined yield strength of coal in the case of longwall coal mining with hanging wall top caving
Authors: Hann Damjan 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
This study presents an innovative approach for determining the unconfined yield strength σc during the excavation of coal from the earth’s crust by using an equipment that was developed for measuring the mechanical properties of bulk materials stored in silos. Highly productive excavation of coal with a hanging wall top caving leads to intensive deformations in the hanging wall and the broken coal can be considered as bulk material. In this research, the shear tester Johanson Hang-Up Indicizer was used to measure the unconfined yield strength of the tested samples, even though such a tester cannot produce stress-strain conditions similar to those occurring during the excavation. An attempt was made to estimate the real unconfined yield strength of broken coal deep under the surface through a combination of measured data and extrapolation.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
An integrated geophysical (involving two-dimensional [2D] electrical resistivity) and petrophysical study was conducted in the Precambrian Crystalline Basement area of Iwaro-oka Akoko, southwestern Nigeria. Five 2D resistivity profiles, both around the perimeters and inside the dump, were investigated with maximum lengths of 100 m. Results of the resistivity imaging delineated the leachate plumes as low-resistivity zones, with values ranging from 3 Ω m to 55 Ω m. The coefficient of permeability ranged from 4.33 × 10-6 to 7.82 × 10-3, and the average porosity ranged from 32 Ω m to 169 Ω m, thus indicating migration of leachate plume to the groundwater due to the high coefficient of permeability and the porosity.

Authors: Oyedele Kayode , Oladele Sunday , Salami Anthony 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The banded iron ore mineralization at Ero was investigated using aeromagnetic, resistivity and induced polarization (IP) methods with the aim of characterizing the deposit. Analysis of the aeromagnetic data involved the application of reduced-to-equator transformation, derivative filters, analytic signal and source parameter imaging techniques. Computer modelling of some of the identified anomalies was undertaken. The electrical resistivity and IP methods helped in discriminating between the iron ore and the host rock. The results showed that the banded iron formations (BIFs) were characterized by spherical analytic signal anomalies ranging from 0.035 nT/m to 0.06 nT/m within the granite gneiss and magnetic susceptibility of 0.007-0.014 SI. The iron ore had low chargeability (0.1-5.0 msec) and resistivity (1.5 × 102 to 2.5 × 103 Ωm). Structural features trending in the NE-SW, E-W, and NW-SE were identified, suggesting that the area had undergone many episodes of tectonic events. Depth to the BIF varied from the surface up to about 200 m. The chargeability response of the iron bodies suggested an average grade of 20%-40%, making the prospect for economic exploitation attractive.

Published: October 2016

AbstractThe synthesis of novel robust and stable iridium-based immobilized catalysts on silica-polymer hybrid materials (Si-PB-Ir) is described. These catalysts are characterized by a combination of 1D31P CP-MAS and 2D31P-1H HETCOR and J-resolved multinuclear solid state NMR experiments. Different binding situations such as singly and multiply coordinated phosphines are identified. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to corroborate the interpretation of the experimental NMR data, in order to propose a structural model of the heterogenized catalysts. Finally, the catalytic activity of the Si-PB-Ir catalysts is investigated for the hydrogenation of styrene employing para-enriched hydrogen gas.

AbstractThe emergence of proteomics has led to major technological advances in mass spectrometry (MS). These advancements not only benefitted MS‐based high‐throughput proteomics but also increased the impact of mass spectrometry on the field of structural and molecular biology. Here, we review how state‐of‐the‐art MS methods, including native MS, top‐down protein sequencing, cross‐linking‐MS, and hydrogen–deuterium exchange‐MS, nowadays enable the characterization of biomolecular structures, functions, and interactions. In particular, we focus on the role of mass spectrometry in integrated structural and molecular biology investigations of biological macromolecular complexes and cellular machineries, highlighting work on CRISPR–Cas systems and eukaryotic transcription complexes.
TECRL: connecting sequence to consequence for a new sudden cardiac death gene
Authors: Perry Matthew D , Vandenberg Jamie I 
Published: October 2016

The sudden unexpected death of a child is a devastating event. One of the first questions a family will ask is “Why did this happen?” In some cases, the answer may become obvious during a postmortem examination, but in up to 40% of cases, the postmortem is negative (Bagnall et al, ). In the last 1–2 decades, an improved understanding of the genetic basis of the primary arrhythmia syndromes, the major cause of sudden unexplained death in children with structurally normal hearts, has greatly enhanced our ability to make a postmortem diagnosis (Van Norstrand & Ackerman, ). Establishing an accurate genetic diagnosis can not only answer the parents' question as to why did this happen to my child, but is invaluable for cascade screening of all family members to identify other individuals harbouring the same mutation and who therefore may be at risk of sudden cardiac death. However, even after screening for all of the established genes associated with primary arrhythmia syndromes, up to two thirds of unexplained cardiac deaths will remain unsolved. Such was the case for a family of Sudanese origin with a highly malignant form of exercise‐induced arrhythmias, originally reported by Bhuiyan et al ().

Published: October 2016

Personal experiences help consumers to be linked with brand or product and company as well as inform their purchasing decisions. Conditions of experiential marketing are the actual consumer experience with brands, products or services that can increase sales, brand image and brand awareness through senses, feeling, think, act and relate. Telling consumers about the features and usability of a product or service is quite different with letting them get the experiences by using the product or service themselves. If experiential marketing could be applied in the marketing activity of a firm, then it can be a great tool to increase its brand loyalty.
This research is conducted by observing the influence of Experiential Marketing (EXEM) implementation to customer satisfaction at Joyo Restaurant in Taman Pinang Sidoarjo, both partially and simultaneously.
Five independent variables – such as sense, feel, think, act, and relate – are used in this research based on Strategic Experiental Modules (SEMs), with customer satisfaction as the dependent variable. The data of 100 customers of the restaurant – as the samples – is analyzed with multiple regresion analysis.
Using the t test and F test to test the hypothesis at the 5% significance level, the result shows that sense, feel, think, act and relate significantly affect customer satisfaction. With adjusted R square at 48,6%, this proves that customer satisfaction can be explained by the variables of Strategic Experiental Modules (SEMs), while the remaining 51,4% is explained by other variables.

Published: October 2016

Pemahaman listening masih menjadi masalah besar bagi pebelajar Bahasa Inggris, sehingga strategi Top-Down dan Bottom-Up merupakan salah satu strategi yang dapat membantu dalam memahami dan mengerti Listening Comprehension. Top-Down processing mengacu pada penggunaan skemata atau pengetahuan pebelajar untuk memahami informasi yang diterima, sedangkan Bottom-Up processing mengacu pada proses pemahaman informasi melalui analisis bunyi, arti kata, maupun tata bahasa. Dalam penerapannya, strategi Top-Down dan Bottom-Up di dalam kegiatan Pre-listening, While-listening dan Post-listening. Di dalam kegiatan Pre-listening kegiatan yang dibangun adalah pebelajar dapat menghubungkan konteks dari apa yang didengar dengan latar belakang pengetahuan yang dimiliki. Di dalam kegiatan While-listening, pebelajar memprediksi apa yang penting dan yang tidak penting untuk diperhatikan untuk mendorong siswa memahami apa yang mereka dengar. Di dalam kegiatan post-listening, pebelajar didorong untuk menanggapi apa yang mereka dengar. Keseluruhan kegiatan pembelajaran diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kemampuan dalam Listening Comprehension di kelas.

Published: October 2016

The non-feeding developmentally arrested infective juveniles (IJs) of entomopathogenic nematodes in the family of Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae seek out a susceptible insect host and initiate infections. The aim of the research was to examine the continual<br />forming and contribution of IJs produced via endotokia matricida (IJs-EM) of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Steinernema glaseri, and S. carpocapsae. The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Nematology of the Saga University, Japan (April 2001-April<br />2002) and the Laboratory of Nematology of the Indonesian Legume and Tuber Crops Research Institute (June 2003-October 2004). The nematode progenies were investigated using the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, pre-inoculated with 50 IJs at 25°C.<br />Results showed that three reproductive adult generations were observed at day 18th. There were 135,000, 128,000 and 133,000 IJs per insect cadaver produced in H. bacteriophora, S. glaseri and S. carpocapsae, respectively. Endotokia matricida contributed a higher number of IJs than that of a normal mode of IJs production. The ratios are 81%, 28% and 64% for H. bacteriophora, S. glaseri, and S. carpocapsae of the IJs total production, respectively. Among the generations, the highest contribution of IJs was come from the<br />third adult generation bearing endotokia matricida, i.e., 63%, 24% and 51% for the three nematode species. Although the IJs-EM were more transparent compared to the normal IJs, they were morphologically similar. The results show that endotokia matricida has a pivotal role in a species maintenance and survival strategy of entomopathogenic nematodes in extreme environmental conditions.
