Abstract. The CHASE-PL (Climate change impact assessment for selected sectors in Poland) Climate Projections – Gridded Daily Precipitation and Temperature dataset 5 km (CPLCP-GDPT5) consists of projected daily minimum and maximum air temperatures and precipitation totals of nine EURO-CORDEX regional climate model outputs bias corrected and downscaled to a 5 km  ×  5 km grid. Simulations of one historical period (1971–2000) and two future horizons (2021–2050 and 2071–2100) assuming two representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) were produced. We used the quantile mapping method and corrected any systematic seasonal bias in these simulations before assessing the changes in annual and seasonal means of precipitation and temperature over Poland. Projected changes estimated from the multi-model ensemble mean showed that annual means of temperature are expected to increase steadily by 1 °C until 2021–2050 and by 2 °C until 2071–2100 assuming the RCP4.5 emission scenario. Assuming the RCP8.5 emission scenario, this can reach up to almost 4 °C by 2071–2100. Similarly to temperature, projected changes in regional annual means of precipitation are expected to increase by 6 to 10 % and by 8 to 16 % for the two future horizons and RCPs, respectively. Similarly, individual model simulations also exhibited warmer and wetter conditions on an annual scale, showing an intensification of the magnitude of the change at the end of the 21st century. The same applied for projected changes in seasonal means of temperature showing a higher winter warming rate by up to 0.5 °C compared to the other seasons. However, projected changes in seasonal means of precipitation by the individual models largely differ and are sometimes inconsistent, exhibiting spatial variations which depend on the selected season, location, future horizon, and RCP. The overall range of the 90 % confidence interval predicted by the ensemble of multi-model simulations was found to likely vary between −7 % (projected for summer assuming the RCP4.5 emission scenario) and +40 % (projected for winter assuming the RCP8.5 emission scenario) by the end of the 21st century. Finally, this high-resolution bias-corrected product can serve as a basis for climate change impact and adaptation studies for many sectors over Poland.

The effect of light rail transit on land-use development in a city without zoning
Authors: Lee Richard , Sener Ipek N 
Published: November 2017

Light rail transit (LRT) has become a popular strategy to improve accessibility and mobility in the United States. It has also been touted as a tool to spur urban growth, higher-density development, and revitalization in large, auto-dependent cities like Houston, Texas. Although traditionally known as sprawling and highly auto-oriented, Houston has greatly expanded its light rail system in recent years. The city is also unique in that it is by far the largest city in the United States without zoning ordinances.
The city of Houston is used as a case study to examine land-use development around LRT stations. Analysis of parcel-level land-use data from 2005–2014 revealed a spike in commercial development along the original light rail corridor, approximately 4 to 10 years after its opening. Land-use development along the newer light rail corridors was more modest and not considerably different than the control corridors. Small changes in the levels of high-density residential housing and land-use mix near light rail stations indicated that efforts to encourage transit-oriented development have not yet had much effect.
Les traductions françaises des surnoms des personnages accompagnant les contes mythologiques de A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys et de Tanglewood Tales de Nathaniel Hawthorne
Authors: Arsenault Julie 
Published: November 2017

À l’été 1851, après le succès de The Scarlet Letter et de The House of the Seven Gables, Nathaniel Hawthorne s’accorde un répit et il fait un retour à la littérature jeunesse. Durant presque deux ans, il se consacre à la rédaction de A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys et Tanglewood Tales, deux volumes qui regroupent une douzaine de contes mythologiques qu’il met en scène, c’est-à-dire chaque conte du premier recueil est précédé d’une introduction et il est suivi d’une conclusion et l’ensemble des contes du second sont précédés d’une introduction. Le présent article vise à étudier les traductions françaises des anthroponymes (des noms de fleurs) choisis par Hawthorne pour désigner et décrire les personnages de ces introductions et de ces conclusions, proposées par Léonce Rabillon, Henry Borjane, Pierre Leyris et Frédérique Revuz dans leurs traductions et adaptations. Il y est plus particulièrement question de dénotation, de connotation et d’encrage socio-culturel en langues source et cible ; ces éléments semblant jouer un rôle de premier plan dans la traduction du réseau onomastique créé par l’auteur américain pour accompagner ses contes mythologiques.

3‐D Inversion of the MT EarthScope Data, Collected Over the East Central United States
Authors: Gribenko A. V. , Zhdanov M. S. 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe magnetotelluric (MT) data collected as a part of the EarthScope project provided a unique opportunity to study the conductivity structure of the deep interior of the North American continent. Besides the scientific value of the recovered subsurface models, the data also allowed inversion practitioners to test the robustness of their algorithms applied to regional long‐period data. In this paper, we present the results of MT inversion of a subset of the second footprint of the MT data collection covering the East Central United States. Our inversion algorithm implements simultaneous inversion of the full MT impedance data both for the 3‐D conductivity distribution and for the distortion matrix. The distortion matrix provides the means to account for the effect of the near‐surface geoelectrical inhomogeneities on the MT data. The long‐period data do not have the resolution for the small near‐surface conductivity anomalies, which makes an application of the distortion matrix especially appropriate. The determined conductivity model of the region agrees well with the known geologic and tectonic features of the East Central United States. The conductivity anomalies recovered by our inversion indicate a possible presence of the hot spot track in the area.
Receiver Function Imaging of Mantle Transition Zone Discontinuities Beneath the Tanzania Craton and Adjacent Segments of the East African Rift System
Authors: Sun Muchen , Liu Kelly H. , Fu Xiaofei , Gao Stephen S. 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe mantle transition zone (MTZ) discontinuities beneath the Tanzania Craton and the Eastern and Western Branches of the East African Rift System are imaged by stacking over 7,100 receiver functions. The mean thickness of the MTZ beneath the Western Branch and Tanzania Craton is about 252 km, which is comparable to the global average and is inconsistent with the existence of present‐day thermal upwelling originating from the lower mantle. In contrast, beneath the Eastern Branch, an up to 30 km thinning of the MTZ is observed and is attributable to upwelling of higher temperature materials from either the upper MTZ or the lower mantle. The observations are in agreement with the hypothesis that rifting in Africa is primarily driven by gradients of gravitational potential energy and lateral variations of basal traction force along zones of significant changes of lithospheric thickness such as the edges of the Tanzania Craton.

AbstractThe teratogenicity of the pesticide nereistoxin (NTX) and its derivative thiocyclam (THI) towards aquatic life was dramatically constrained by a synthetic nanoreceptor, cucurbit[7]uril, through selective encapsulation of the pesticides (KCB[7]‐NTX of 3.24(±0.31)×106 m−1 and KCB[7]‐THI of 7.46(±0.10)×105 m−1), as evidenced by the rate of hatchability, morphology development, and tyrosinase activity of zebrafish larvae incubated with the pesticides (3–300 μm) in the absence and in the presence of 300 μm cucurbit[7]uril, demonstrating the significant potential of the nanoreceptor in managing ecological pollution of these pesticides.
Swift heavy ion induced material modifications in Ba1‐xSrxTiO3 ceramics as probed by temperature‐dependent Raman spectroscopy

Published: November 2017

AbstractEffect of 100 MeV O8+ swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation on phonon properties of Ba1‐xSrxTiO3 (x = 0.10, 0.15) ceramics are probed using Raman spectroscopy. Temperature‐dependent Raman spectra in the range (100 °C to −190 °C) have been investigated, and deconvoluted Raman modes parameters are used in pristine and irradiated ceramics to understand the effect of ion irradiation on phonon modes. Raman bands are successfully identified that discern changes in band parameters during transition from cubic → tetragonal → orthorhombic → rhombohedral phases. Raman spectral analysis reveals that the phase transition sequence remains almost unaffected after SHI irradiation; however, band parameters (band positions, band intensity, and line widths) of some phonon modes show changes after SHI irradiation. Results are interpreted in terms of grain reorientation and oxygen vacancies annihilation due to irradiation. Comparisons of ferroelectric properties in pristine and irradiated ceramics unambiguously reveal that surface or near surface material modifications influence the bulk properties of these polar materials.

Retinoic Acid-Signaling Regulates the Proliferative and Neurogenic Capacity of Müller Glia-Derived Progenitor Cells in the Avian Retina

Published: November 2017

Abstract
In the retina, Müller glia have the potential to become progenitor cells with the ability to proliferate and regenerate neurons. However, the ability of Müller glia-derived progenitor cells (MGPCs) to proliferate and produce neurons is limited in higher vertebrates. Using the chick model system, we investigate how retinoic acid (RA)-signaling influences the proliferation and the formation of MGPCs. We observed an upregulation of cellular RA binding proteins (CRABP) in the Müller glia of damaged retinas where the formation of MGPCs is known to occur. Activation of RA-signaling was stimulated, whereas inhibition suppressed the proliferation of MGPCs in damaged retinas and in fibroblast growth factor 2-treated undamaged retinas. Furthermore, inhibition of RA-degradation stimulated the proliferation of MGPCs. Levels of Pax6, Klf4, and cFos were upregulated in MGPCs by RA agonists and downregulated in MGPCs by RA antagonists. Activation of RA-signaling following MGPC proliferation increased the percentage of progeny that differentiated as neurons. Similarly, the combination of RA and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) significantly increased neurogenesis from retinal progenitors in the circumferential marginal zone (CMZ). In summary, RA-signaling stimulates the formation of proliferating MGPCs and enhances the neurogenic potential of MGPCs and stem cells in the CMZ.

Published: November 2017

AbstractBackgroundAn increasing number of patients need reconstructive surgery after massive weight loss. The hypothesis was that surgical experience together with standardised management guidelines significantly decreases early complication rates after abdominoplasty for massive weight loss. The primary aim was to assess the 30‐day complication rate after abdominoplasty following increased surgical training and experience. The secondary aim was to assess whether optimised management guidelines have an impact on the complication rate and patient safety.MethodsThe outcome of 69 consecutive abdominoplasties operated by surgeons in 2011 (Group A) and 70 consecutive patients operated by plastic surgeons in 2010–2012 (Group B) was compared. Another Group of 70 consecutive patients operated by surgeons in 2013–2014 (Group C) was assessed since standardised guidelines for pre‐ and post‐operative treatments and refinement of surgical technique had been introduced. The same surgeons participated in operations of Groups A and C. χ2‐test and Fisher’s exact test were applied to dichotomous data. Logistic regression test and ANOVA were used.ResultsGroup C had more comorbidities and was significantly older. 48 patients in Group A (70%), 31 in Group B (44%) and 13 patients in Group C (19%) had early complications. A significantly decreased rate of complications occurred with improved guidelines and surgical training and experience. (A vs. C p < 0.001 and A vs. B p = 0.008).ConclusionsOur results indicate that the rate of early complications after abdominoplasty for massive weight loss can be significantly reduced with improved surgical experience and standardised management guidelines.Registered at Clinical Trial.gov (ID: NCT02679391).

Abstract
In a cell-surface display (CSD) system, successful display of a protein or peptide is highly dependent on the anchoring motif and the position of the display in that anchoring motif. In this study, a recombinant bacterial CSD system for manganese (Mn) and cobalt (Co) recovery was developed by employing OmpC as an anchoring motif on three different external loops. A portion of Cap43 protein (TRSRSHTSEG)3 was employed as a manganese and cobalt binding peptide (MCBP), which was fused with OmpC at three different external loops. The fusions were made at the loop 2 [fusion protein-2 (FP2)], loop 6 (FP6), and loop 8 (FP8) of OmpC, respectively. The efficacy of the three recombinant strains in the recovery of Mn and Co was evaluated by varying the concentration of the respective metal. Molecular modeling studies showed that the short trimeric repeats of peptide probably form a secondary structure with OmpC, thereby giving rise to a difference in metal recovery among the three recombinant strains. Among the three recombinant strains, FP6 showed increased metal recovery with both Mn and Co, at 1235.14 (1 mM) and 379.68 (0.2 mM) µmol/g dry cell weight (DCW), respectively.
Testing consumer theory: evidence from a natural field experiment

Published: November 2017

AbstractWe present evidence from a natural field experiment designed to shed light on whether individual behavior is consistent with a neoclassical model of utility maximization subject to budget constraints. We do this through the lens of a field experiment on charitable giving. We find that the behavior of at least 80% of individuals, on both the extensive and intensive margins, can be rationalized within a standard neoclassical choice model in which individuals have preferences, defined over own consumption and their contribution towards the charitable good, satisfying the axioms of revealed preference.

New material and systematic re-evaluation ofMedusaceratops lokii(Dinosauria, Ceratopsidae) from the Judith River Formation (Campanian, Montana)

Published: November 2017

AbstractMedusaceratops lokiiRyan, Russell, and Hartman, 2010 is an enigmatic taxon of ceratopsid represented by partial parietals from the Mansfield bonebed in the Campanian Judith River Formation, Montana. Originally, all ceratopsid material collected from this bonebed was referred to the centrosaurine ceratopsidAlbertaceratops, but subsequently two parietals were designated the types of the chasmosaurine,M.lokii, in part, because they were interpreted to have three epiparietals bilaterally. Here we describe new material from the bonebed that allows a systematic revision of the taxon. A revised reconstruction of the frill, informed by newly discovered parietals, reveals thatM.lokiihad a broad midline ramus and at least five epiparietals (ep) around the margin of the frill, both traits that are characteristic of Centrosaurinae. From medial to lateral, the epiparietal ornamentation consists of a small, variably procurving epiparietal (ep 1), an anterolaterally curving pachyostotic hook (ep 2), a smaller pachyostoic process (ep 3), and two small triangular epiparietals (ep 4 and 5). A phylogenetic analysis of ceratopsids, which is the first to includeMedusaceratops, indicates thatM.lokiiis a unique, early centrosaurine ceratopsid taxon that is more closely related to Centrosaurini and Pachyrhinosaurini than Nasutoceratopsini. No unequivocal chasmosaurine bones or diagnostic material from any other ceratopsid could be identified from the Mansfield bonebed, suggesting that it represents one of the oldest occurrences of a monodominant accumulation of a centrosaurine ceratopsid on record.

AbstractObjective:Recent studies found that mobile phone users had a significantly greater risk of having elevated thresholds in speech frequencies. This study investigated the correlation between the laterality of sudden sensorineural hearing loss, handedness and the preferred ear for mobile phone use.Methods:The study included all patients who presented with sudden sensorineural hearing loss to the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery in our tertiary referral medical centre between 2014 and 2016. Patients were asked to indicate their dominant hand and preferred ear for mobile phone use.Results:The study comprised 160 patients. No correlation was found between the dominant hand or preferred ear for mobile phone use and the side of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. There was no correlation between the side of the sudden sensorineural hearing loss (preferable or non-preferable for mobile phone use) and audiometric characteristics.Conclusion:No correlation was found between the laterality of ears used for mobile phone and sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
