Everything We Do, You Do: The Licensing Effect of Prosocial Marketing Messages on Consumer Behavior
Authors: Kouchaki Maryam , Jami Ata 
Published: October 2016

Do prosocial corporate marketing messages promote consumers’ altruistic behaviors, or do they advance self-interested and self-indulgent actions? To answer this question, the current research investigates the impact of different framings of prosocial marketing messages on consumers’ behaviors and choices more generally. Results from six laboratory studies and a field experiment demonstrate that exposure to messages that praise customers for good deeds can increase subsequent self-interested and self-indulgent behaviors more than messages that publicize a company’s good deeds or thank consumers for their patronage. Our findings demonstrate the possibility that a temporary boost in one’s self-concept drives this observed effect. In addition, the recipient’s level of support for the issue praised for moderates the effect of customer-praise messages on the recipient’s less altruistic behaviors. This paper concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and managerial implications.This paper was accepted by Pradeep Chintagunta, marketing.
Theologie als Zeitgenossenschaft Zum 90. Geburtstag von Jürgen Moltmann
Authors: Bedford-Strohm Heinrich 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The article presents Jürgen Moltmann as one of the most important contemporary theologians worldwide. It describes the development of his theology as a journey of theological discoveries and explorations which have influenced many central themes of theology in the 20th century and beyond. Moltmann’s Theology of Hope in 1964, which established his worldwide fame, was an important reference point for various liberation theologies in different parts of the world. His book on The Crucified God made clear that hope in a Christian sense always includes a deep theological account of suffering. God in Creation presented his ecological doctrine of creation, which attempted to overcome an anthropocentric theological thinking that ignored the presence of God’s Spirit in non-human nature. In his messianic Christology he describes redemption as something including the whole cosmos and all victims of evolution. Moltmann’s eschatology relates God’s justice and love by developing a notion of judgment as healing and saving judgment
nunc aeternitatis / Ewigkeit, mystisch. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Meister Eckhart
Authors: Martin Gerhard Marcel 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
In close conceptual proximity to Meister Eckhart, Jürgen Moltmann develops models of thinking, experience and action based on the notion of unlimited time without generally or completely losing the patterns and experiences of temporal (and hence of daily and profane) existence. Temporal experience is not denigrated while contextless (meaning: isolated) experience of »eternity«, although taken into consideration, is not spiritually highlighted. This leads to the concept of a nunc aeternitatis, the presence of eternity. This concept is being reconstructed by means of the practical model of cognitive, emotional and pragmatic allowance, repeatedly taking »realizations«, parallels and equivalents from other religious, philosophical and literary traditions into account.

A Comparative Modeling Study of Quince Infrared Drying and Evaluation of Quality Parameters
Authors: Ziaforoughi Amin , Yousefi Ali Reza , Razavi Seyed M.A. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
In this research, infrared drying of thin-layer quince slices with thickness of 5±0.24 mm was investigated at four levels of radiation power. The final temperatures of 50, 60, 70 and 80 °C were achieved by regulating the radiation power. A comparative study was performed among adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and 10 well-known empirical models to predict the drying kinetics. The ANFIS modeling results showed an excellent prediction of moisture content value (R
2=0.9998 and RMSE=0.0041). Among the empirical models, Midilli model fitted the experimental data well for the whole range of temperatures (R
2=0.9987–0.9994 and RMSE=0.0068–0.0098). Effect of final drying temperature on the sample color, shrinkage, texture and rehydration ratio was also investigated. Analysis of variance of quality parameters showed that the final drying temperature had a significant effect on the color, shrinkage and texture (p < 0.05). The final drying temperature of 80 °C had a negative effect on the color, shrinkage and texture of samples.
Lord’s Paradox Revisited – (Oh Lord! Kumbaya!)
Authors: Pearl Judea 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Among the many peculiarities that were dubbed “paradoxes” by well meaning statisticians, the one reported by Frederic M. Lord in 1967 has earned a special status. Although it can be viewed, formally, as a version of Simpson’s paradox, its reputation has gone much worse. Unlike Simpson’s reversal, Lord’s is easier to state, harder to disentangle and, for some reason, it has been lingering for almost four decades, under several interpretations and re-interpretations, and it keeps coming up in new situations and under new lights. Most peculiar yet, while some of its variants have received a satisfactory resolution, the original version presented by Lord, to the best of my knowledge, has not been given a proper treatment, not to mention a resolution.
The purpose of this paper is to trace back Lord’s paradox from its original formulation, resolve it using modern tools of causal analysis, explain why it resisted prior attempts at resolution and, finally, address the general methodological issue of whether adjustments for preexisting conditions is justified in group comparison applications.
A Song in the Dark. Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of Brother Sun
Authors: Speelman Willem Marie 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The Canticle of the Creatures or Canticle of Brother Sun is based on a particular way of perceiving reality. Francis, who had turned away from ‘the world’, discovered a different way of looking at it. This is a divine way of perceiving, in which the senses do not grasp reality, but accept it as it communicates itself. This way of perceiving is only possible if one does not attempt to master the environment, but allows one’s senses to be weak. It is significant, therefore, that this song of praise was born at a moment of the utmost despair and weakness. The song’s content is in line with this weak perception: it is not about Francis who praises God and (or for) His creatures, but rather it is a testimony that the creatures-the elements-are already praising God, and a prayer that He should let Himself be praised by the creatures. Also in line with this weak perception is the fact that the creatures are praised just as they communicate themselves to Francis: as bodies. The theology of this song is that the creatures through their bodies resonate (strengthen, and colour) the blessings that come from God, thereby making His blessing present here on earth. Francis’ role is to give a voice and a language to the heavenly praises as they resound in his environment. The transformative power of this song is that we, whether consciously or not, do the same thing when we participate in this song.
Phenol and methylene blue photodegradation over Ti/SBA-15 materials under uv light
Authors: Olejnik Tomasz , Pasieczna-Patkowska Sylwia , Lesiuk Adam , Ryczkowski Janusz 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Ordered SBA-15 mesoporous silica supports have been synthesized and used for incorporation of titanium with different Ti/Si weight ratio via incipient wetness impregnation. Titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) was used as a source of Ti. Obtained catalysts were characterized to investigate the chemical framework and morphology by nitrogen sorption measurements, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence elemental analysis (XRF), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS) and Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FT-IR/PAS). The photocatalytic degradation of phenol and methylene blue water solutions were selected as a probe reactions to the photoactivity test of prepared samples and to verify the potential application of these materials for water purification. Experimental results indicate that the photocatalytic activity of Ti/Si mixed materials depends on the adsorption ability of composites and the photocatalytic activity of the titanium oxide.
Catalytic activity of cobalt and cerium catalysts supported on calcium hydroxyapatite in ethanol steam reforming
Authors: Dobosz Justyna , Hull Sylwia , Zawadzki Mirosław 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
In this paper, Co,Ce/Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 catalysts with various cobalt loadings for steam reforming of ethanol (SRE) were prepared by microwave-assisted hydrothermal and sol-gel methods, and characterized by XRD, TEM, TPR-H2, N2 adsorption-desorption measurements and cyclohexanol (CHOL) decomposition tests. High ethanol conversion (close to 100%) was obtained for the catalysts prepared by both methods but these ones prepared under hydrothermal conditions (HAp-H) ensured higher hydrogen yield (3.49 mol H2/mol C2H5OH) as well as higher amount of hydrogen formed (up to 70%) under reaction conditions. The superior performance of 5Co,10Ce/HAp-H catalyst is thought to be due to a combination of factors, including increased reducibility and oxygen mobility, higher density of basic sites on its surface, and improved textural properties. The results also show a significant effect of cobalt loading on catalysts efficiency in hydrogen production: the higher H2 yield exhibit catalysts with lower cobalt content, regardless of the used synthesis method.

Authors: Nastaj Józef , Przewłocka Agata , Rajkowska-Myśliwiec Monika 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
The biosorption process of three divalent metal ions – nickel, lead and zinc- from on calcium alginate from aqueous solution was studied, in single component systems. The biosorbent were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The batch mode experiments of the adsorption process were carried out as a function of pH, initial metal ions concentration, sorbent dosage and contact time. The adsorption influencing parameters for the maximum removal of metal ions were optimized. The experimental data were analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Langmuir-Freundlich, Koble-Corrigan and Redlich-Peterson models. The kinetic data of biosorption process were evaluated using pseudo-first and pseudo-second order equations. The Weber and Morris model was employed to interpret the metal ions diffusion in biosorption process.

Published: October 2016

AbstractThe yield and composition of pyrolysis products depend on the characteristics of feed stock and process operating parameters. Effect of particle size, reaction temperature and carrier gas flow rate on the yield of bio-oil from fast pyrolysis of Pakistani maize stalk was investigated. Pyrolysis experiments were performed at temperature range of 360-540°C, feed particle size of 1-2 mm and carrier gas fl ow rate of 7.0-13.0 m3/h (0.61.1 m/s superficial velocity). Bio-oil yield increased with the increase of temperature followed by a decreasing trend. The maximum yield of bio-oil obtained was 42 wt% at a temperature of 490°C with the particle size of around 1.0 mm and carrier gas flow rate of 11.0 m3/h (0.9 m/s superficial velocity). High temperatures resulted in the higher ratios of char and non-condensable gas.
Studies of catalytic coal gasification with steam
Authors: Porada Stanisław , Rozwadowski Andrzej , Zubek Katarzyna 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
One of the promising processes, belonging to the so-called clean coal technologies, is catalytic coal gasification. The addition of a catalyst results in an increased process rate, in which synthesis gas is obtained. Therefore, the subject of this research was catalytic gasification of low-ranking coal which, due to a high reactivity, meets the requirements for fuels used in the gasification process. Potassium and calcium cations in an amount of 0.85, 1.7 and 3.4% by weight were used as catalytically active substances. Isothermal measurements were performed at 900°C under a pressure of 2 MPa using steam as a gasifying agent. On the basis of kinetic curves, the performance of main gasification products as well as carbon conversion degree were determined. The performed measurements allowed the determination of the type and amount of catalyst that ensure the most efficient gasification process of the coal ‘Piast’ in an atmosphere of steam.
Personalised Hiking Time Estimation
Authors: Sándor Apáthy M. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
There are numerous attempts to estimate hiking time since the age of the ancient Roman Empire, the new digital era calls for more precise and exact solutions to be implemented in mobile applications. The importance of the topic lies in the fact that route planning algorithms and shortest path problems apply time estimations as cost functions. Our intention is to design a hiking time estimation method that accounts for terrain circumstances as well as personal factors, while the level of accuracy and the simplicity of the algorithm should enable the solution to be utilised in the practice. We refine Tobler’s earlier results to estimate a relation between terrain steepness and hiker’s velocity. Later we use fitted curve to design our novel, personalised hiking time estimation method.
Nebukadnezzar ante portas – Zu den babylonischen Interessen in der südlichen Levante
Authors: Gaß Erasmus 
Published: October 2016

AbstractRecent publications often underrate the conquest of Judah by the Babylonians. However, the historical conclusions are not beyond doubt. Presumably, Babylon’s arch-enemy Egypt was not interested in extending its territory to the southern Levant – the more so as the region was sustainably destroyed by Babylonian scorched earth policy. Thus, a costly transformation into provinces was not necessary. Destroying coastal towns and weakening the rural sector caused an economic breakdown – gradually revised only after two centuries of Persian rule. That is why there are no imported Greek pottery and no Judean weights from Babylonian times. Thus, it is hardly surprising that Jerusalem remained unsettled.

Abstract
Laurson, KR, Saint-Maurice, PF, Welk, GJ, and Eisenmann, JC. Reference curves for field tests of musculoskeletal fitness in U.S. children and adolescents: The 2012 NHANES National Youth Fitness Survey. J Strength Cond Res 31(8): 2075–2082, 2017—The purpose of the study was to describe current levels of musculoskeletal fitness (MSF) in U.S. youth by creating nationally representative age-specific and sex-specific growth curves for handgrip strength (including relative and allometrically scaled handgrip), modified pull-ups, and the plank test. Participants in the National Youth Fitness Survey (n = 1,453) were tested on MSF, aerobic capacity (via submaximal treadmill test), and body composition (body mass index [BMI], waist circumference, and skinfolds). Using LMS regression, age-specific and sex-specific smoothed percentile curves of MSF were created and existing percentiles were used to assign age-specific and sex-specific z-scores for aerobic capacity and body composition. Correlation matrices were created to assess the relationships between z-scores on MSF, aerobic capacity, and body composition. At younger ages (3–10 years), boys scored higher than girls for handgrip strength and modified pull-ups, but not for the plank. By ages 13–15, differences between the boys and girls curves were more pronounced, with boys scoring higher on all tests. Correlations between tests of MSF and aerobic capacity were positive and low-to-moderate in strength. Correlations between tests of MSF and body composition were negative, excluding absolute handgrip strength, which was inversely related to other MSF tests and aerobic capacity but positively associated with body composition. The growth curves herein can be used as normative reference values or a starting point for creating health-related criterion reference standards for these tests. Comparisons with prior national surveys of physical fitness indicate that some components of MSF have likely decreased in the United States over time.

Gómez-Molina, J, Ogueta-Alday, A, Stickley, C, Tobalina, JC, Cabrejas-Ugartondo, J, and García-López, J. Differences in spatiotemporal parameters between trained runners and untrained participants. J Strength Cond Res 31(8): 2169–2175, 2017—The aim of this study was to compare the spatiotemporal parameters of trained runners and untrained participants with the same foot strike pattern (rearfoot) during running at controlled speeds. Twenty-one participants were classified in 2 groups according to their training experience: Trained (n = 10, amateur runners with long distance training experience) and Untrained (n = 11, healthy untrained participants). Anthropometric variables were recorded, and the participants performed both a submaximal (between 9 and 15 km·h−1) and a graded exercise running test (from 6 km·h−1 until exhaustion) on a treadmill. Physiological (V̇o
2max, heart rate, running economy [RE], peak speed …) and biomechanical variables (contact and flight times, step rate, and length) were simultaneously registered. Trained runners showed higher step rate and shorter step length than the Untrained group at the same running speeds (between 4 and 7%, p ≤ 0.05) and at the same physiological intensities (between 7 and 11%, p ≤ 0.05). However, there were no differences in contact and flight times between groups. Significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) and large effect sizes (Cohen's d) between groups were found for body mass, sum of 6 skinfolds, V̇o
2max, peak speed, and ventilatory threshold and respiratory compensation threshold speeds. The Trained group also showed a ∼7% better RE (ml·kg−0.75·km−1) than the Untrained group. In conclusion, adopting higher step rate and shorter step length may be an adaptive mechanism of the Trained group to reduce injury risk and possibly improve RE. However, contact and flight times were consistent regardless of training level.
Effects of Aggregate Properties on Rheology of Self-Consolidating Concrete
Authors: Jovein H. B. , Shen L. 
Published: October 2016

AbstractCompared with conventionally vibrated concrete (CVC), the rheological properties of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) should be closely controlled in order to satisfy fresh property requirements. Rheology of concrete is normally described by Bingham model. To investigate the effects of various aggregate properties on rheology of SCC, 25 mixtures were studied. It was found that higher aggregate volume, higher fine aggregate to coarse aggregate ratio, smaller aggregate size, and lower aggregate packing density may increase yield stress of SCC mixture. Aggregate size has an insignificant effect on plastic viscosity. Mixtures with slump flow less than 580 mm exhibited anti-thixotropy manner, whereas mixtures with slump flow 630 mm or higher showed thixotropy manner. No clear correlation was observed between plastic viscosity and T50 and Tf in the slump-flow test.

Published: October 2016

Abstract
In order to understand the stability and slipping behavior of the slope, in situ investigation and monitoring have been carried out at 12.3 K of Nantou County 89th County Road, Taiwan. The acquired potential sliding depth and range of moving area from the boring logs and inclinometer measurements match with the outcomes from electrical resistivity tomography. The other purpose of this study was to obtain the horizontal displacement field of the landslide at station 12.3 K's landslide and its surrounding area using the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. The orthophotographs, taken during 2008 and 2012, were analyzed using the PIVview2C. The results show that the maximum horizontal displacement is about 5.5 to 6.1 m in this study area. For movements in 2008–2009 and 2010–2012, the major displacement is around 5 to 6.5 m. Most of the calculated displacement magnitudes are less than 2.5 m in 2009–2010. The major moving direction is toward the azimuth 247.5°–292.5°. The results of PIV analysis can quickly identify the major moving zones and displacement fields compared with traditional methods.
A Novel Method for Measuring Porosity for Normal and High Strength Concrete
Authors: Khan M. I. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
This paper described a novel apparatus for the measurement of porosity for normal and high strength mortar and concrete using vacuum-pressure saturation method. A detailed description of design, test procedure, and evaluation of results of the vacuum-pressure saturation apparatus was presented. Porosity values obtained using the apparatus were highly repeatable and reproducible. The apparatus could detect the effect of age, influence of water-binder ratio, and influence of supplementary cementitious materials of concrete and mortar mixtures. The apparatus yielded full saturation for high strength and dense mortar and concrete. The porosity values for normal strength concrete using the vacuum-pressure saturation apparatus were in good agreement with the results obtained using vacuum saturation method proposed by RILEM.
The Effect of Thermal Treatment on Microstructure and Corrosion of Nickel Base Alloy 690 (UNS N0 6690)
Authors: Santra S. , Ramana Rao S. V. , Kapoor K. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Alloy 690 in the thermally treated (TT) condition is an advanced steam generator tubing material. The effect of thermal ageing treatments on the intergranular corrosion (IGC) behavior of the alloy was probed. Isothermal ageing was carried out at 600, 700, and 800°C with varying ageing time. Morphology of the carbides was studied as a function of thermal treatment temperature and duration. The carbides morphology was observed to affect the IGC resistance. Grain boundaries devoid of carbides (solutionized condition) or with coarse carbide particles (formed at 800°C) enhanced IGC resistance, whereas dendritic fine carbides formed at lower ageing temperature yield inferior IGC resistance.
