Abstract. The mid-Piacenzian is known as a period of relative warmth when compared to the present day. A comprehensive understanding of conditions during the Piacenzian serves as both a conceptual model and a source for boundary conditions as well as means of verification of global climate model experiments. In this paper we present the PRISM4 reconstruction, a paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the mid-Piacenzian ( ∼  3 Ma) containing data for paleogeography, land and sea ice, sea-surface temperature, vegetation, soils, and lakes. Our retrodicted paleogeography takes into account glacial isostatic adjustments and changes in dynamic topography. Soils and lakes, both significant as land surface features, are introduced to the PRISM reconstruction for the first time. Sea-surface temperature and vegetation reconstructions are unchanged but now have confidence assessments. The PRISM4 reconstruction is being used as boundary condition data for the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project Phase 2 (PlioMIP2) experiments.
Comment on "Scaling regimes and linear/nonlinear responses of last millennium
climate to volcanic and solar forcing" by S. Lovejoy and C. Varotsos (2016)
Authors: Rypdal Kristoffer , Rypdal Martin 
Published: July 2016

Abstract. Lovejoy and Varotsos (2016) (L&amp;V) analyse the temperature response to solar, volcanic, and solar plus volcanic forcing in the Zebiak–Cane (ZC) model, and to solar and solar plus volcanic forcing in the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) E2-R model. By using a simple wavelet filtering technique they conclude that the responses in the ZC model combine subadditively on timescales from 50 to 1000 years. Nonlinear response on shorter timescales is claimed by analysis of intermittencies in the forcing and the temperature signal for both models. The analysis of additivity in the ZC model suffers from a confusing presentation of results based on an invalid approximation, and from ignoring the effect of internal variability. We present tests without this approximation which are not able to detect nonlinearity in the response, even without accounting for internal variability. We also demonstrate that internal variability will appear as subadditivity if it is not accounted for. L&amp;V's analysis of intermittencies is based on a mathematical result stating that the intermittencies of forcing and response are the same if the response is linear. We argue that there are at least three different factors that may invalidate the application of this result for these data. It is valid only for a power-law response function; it assumes power-law scaling of structure functions of forcing as well as temperature signal; and the internal variability, which is strong at least on the short timescales, will exert an influence on temperature intermittence which is independent of the forcing. We demonstrate by a synthetic example that the differences in intermittencies observed by L&amp;V easily can be accounted for by these effects under the assumption of a linear response. Our conclusion is that the analysis performed by L&amp;V does not present valid evidence for a detectable nonlinear response in the global temperature in these climate models.

Published: July 2016

Purpose To quantitatively and qualitatively analyze patients with macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and treated with the intravitreal dexamethasone implant using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods The files of patients treated with intravitreal injection of dexamethasone implant for macular edema secondary to RVO were retrospectively analyzed. Before and after injection, the following data were recorded: best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT) measured using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, and OCTA (Optovue, Inc., Fremont, CA, USA). Results of automatic measurement of vascular density of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus were obtained before and after treatment and compared to those of healthy subjects matched for age and sex. Results Seven eyes of 7 patients (mean age, 76 years; 57% male) were analyzed, including 3 cases of central RVO and 4 cases of branch RVO. All patients received 1 intravitreal injection of dexamethasone implant. After a mean follow-up of 2 months, CMT significantly decreased from 657 µm to 324 µm on average and BCVA increased from 20/100 to 20/50 (p = 0.017 and p<0.001, respectively). At the SCP, the mean whole en face vascular density slightly decreased during follow-up from 43.21% to 42.76% (not statistically significant). Vascular densities were largely inferior to those observed in control subjects (p≤0.01 in all quadrants). Conclusions This study confirms the potential contribution of OCTA as a novel noninvasive imaging technology that enables a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the follow-up of macular edema in RVO. Optical coherence tomography angiography may complement advantageously multimodal imaging to monitor patients with RVO.

Published: July 2016

Purpose To describe a case of epiretinal membrane (ERM) regression after optic nerve atrophy. Methods Retrospective case report. Results A 56-year-old man with progressive visual impairment was found to have an ERM with associated retinal thickening and distortion (documented with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography [OCT]). In addition, we noted a slight unilateral paleness of the optic nerve. The patient denied any further diagnostic investigation and presented himself again 2 years after the initial presentation. A new OCT examination at this point revealed a remarkable regression of the ERM and atrophy of the retinal nerve fiber layer. Conclusions Regression of ERM may occur after optic nerve atrophy. A potential causal linkage is suggested based on the atrophy of the retinal nerve fibers and regression of the glial cells.

Authors: Sonzini Maria Soledad , Vegetti Marcela , Leone Horacio P. 
Published: July 2016

La gestión del ciclo de vida de producto (PLM - Product Lifecycle Management) requiere un conjunto de soluciones para representar e integrar la información de una familia de producto. Las soluciones deben considerar los cambios en los requerimientos de los usuarios y del dominio, los cuales pueden ocurrir por diversas causas. Cada cambio modifica la información de producto, generando una nueva versión del mismo. Por lo tanto, la propuesta de este trabajo tiene por objetivo introducir un enfoque basado en ontologías para la gestión de versiones de información de familia de productos a lo largo de su ciclo de vida. Esta propuesta plantea conceptos generales para la captura y representación de los cambios, independientemente del modelo de productos utilizado para la representación de estas familias. Asimismo, se presenta la aplicación del modelo propuesto en dos modelos de productos diferentes: la ontología de productos PRONTO (PRoduct ONTOlogy) y el modelo de características (FM – Feature Model).

Published: July 2016

O presente trabalho trata do estudo das filas em caixas rápido de um Supermercado por meio da simulação computacional. O estudo teve por objetivo verificar o comportamento das filas nos caixas rápidos do Supermercado X localizado na cidade de Campo Mourão - PR. Esta pesquisa classifica-se, quanto aos fins, como descritiva e explicativa e, quanto aos meios como bibliográfica, de campo e estudo de caso. A coleta de dados foi realizada em horários de pico, devido ao congestionamento dos caixas rápidos nesse horário. Com a pesquisa, foi possível verificar que, ao operar com um número maior de caixas, ocorrerá uma mudança significativa em relação ao número de clientes na fila, ao tempo médio de clientes na fila e no sistema. Sugere-se o reposicionamento dos caixas, para formação de filas individuais, bem como também alocação de colaboradores extra, para empacotamento de mercadorias, para melhor atendimento dos clientes.
Breve nota sobre regime de metas de inflação e crescimento econômico
Authors: Martins Norberto Montani 
Published: July 2016

O crescimento econômico brasileiro na história recente é, no mínimo, decepcionante: nos últimos anos, o Brasil cresceu menos que o mundo e que as economias emergentes, em geral. A reestruturação do arcabouço de política econômica em 1999, pautada, dentre outras medidas, na adoção da sistemática de metas para inflação, não logrou romper a trajetória de baixo crescimento da economia brasileira. Pelo contrário, o novo regime apenas reforçou o resultado agonizante do país segundo esta métrica. Nesse contexto, o artigo tem por objetivo analisar se o fraco desempenho brasileiro é um caso particular ou se a implementação do regime de metas para inflação, genericamente, pode ser associada a resultados inferiores quanto ao crescimento, conforme a experiência de outras jurisdições.
POROSIMETRY BY DOUBLE-RANDOM MULTIPLE TREE STRUCTURING IN VIRTUAL CONCRETE
Authors: Stroeven Piet , Le Nghi L.B. , Sluys Lambertus J , He Huan 
Published: July 2016

Two different porosimetry methods are presented in two successive papers. Inspiration for the development came from the rapidly-exploring random tree (RRT) approach used in robotics. The novel methods are applied to virtual cementitious materials produced by a modern concurrent algorithm-based discrete element modeling system, HADES. This would render possible realistically simulating all aspects of particulate matter that influence structure-sensitive features of the pore network structure in maturing concrete, namely size, shape and dispersion of aggregate and cement particles. Pore space is a complex tortuous entity. Practical methods conventionally applied for assessment of pore size distribution may fail or present biased information. Among them, mercury intrusion porosimetry and 2D quantitative image analysis are popular. The mathematical morphology operator “opening” can be applied to sections and even provide 3D information on pore size distribution, provided isotropy is guaranteed. Unfortunately, aggregate grain surfaces lead to pore anisotropy. The presented methods allow exploration of pore space in the virtual material, after which pore size distribution is derived from star volume measurements. In addition to size of pores their continuity is of crucial importance for durability estimation. Double-random multiple tree structuring (DRaMuTS), presented herein, and random node structuring (RaNoS) provide such information. The latter method will be introduced in a next issue of IA&S.
Gritam os muros: “anistia ampla, geral e irrestrita”
Authors: Nunes Soares Thiago 
Published: July 2016

Nos anos 1970, ganhou força no Brasil uma campanha nacional e de repercussão no exterior, que visou defender uma anistia ampla, geral e irrestrita para todas as pessoas que tiveram as suas liberdades democráticas cerceadas com a ditadura civil-militar (1964-1985). As lutas e disputas políticas neste período foram intensas, sendo marcantes a atuação e os embates entre diversos segmentos sociais, como: mulheres, estudantes, militares e trabalhadores. Além disso, os instrumentos de resistências políticas foram significativos e variados, a exemplo de passeatas, comícios, panfletagens e pichações. Diante disso, historicizamos a realização dessa campanha em Recife, tendo em vista a sua relevância política. Neste sentido, dentre as formas de resistência supracitadas, destacamos no trabalho a importância do uso de pichações em prol da anistia. Esses registros cotidianos foram proibidos por leis, vigiados e censurados por órgãos policiais, por serem realizados por diversos segmentos da sociedade considerados “subversivos”. Ademais, o combate às escritas citadinas ocorreu por elas possuírem um cunho político e serem um eficaz instrumento de comunicação que influenciou muitas vezes a opinião dos transeuntes com discursos transgressores. Além de documentos escritos (jornais e fontes policiais), o trabalho teve como base os relatos orais de ex-militantes que resistiram contra a ditadura e foram autores de pichações. Através do cruzamento dessas fontes, foi possível analisar esse período sob diferentes discursos e experiências políticas. Assim, os relatos de orais em sua estrutura narrativa registram experiências históricas resultantes de práticas sociais, potencializando as possibilidades de interpretação do passado.

Rapid electron density decay observed by surface-wave probe in afterglow of pulsed fluorocarbon-based plasma
Authors: Ohya Yoshinobu , Iwata Manabu , Ishikawa Kenji , Sekine Makoto , Hori Masaru , Sugai Hideo 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
To elucidate the pulsed fluorocarbon plasma behavior, a surface-wave probe with high time resolution was used to measure the electron density n
e in the afterglow of plasma. In a dual-frequency capacitively coupled plasma of fluorocarbon chemistry, e.g., an O2-based C4F6 and Ar mixture, n
e vanished rapidly in a short time (∼5 µs), whilst the dc current flowing onto the top electrode biased at −300 V decreased very slowly (decay time ∼70 µs). This observation is clear evidence of ion–ion plasma formation by electron attachment in the afterglow. We point out that the electron attachment rates for fluorocarbon radicals significantly affect the electrons and ion–ion plasma behaviors observed at the afterglow phase.
Polaron conductivity mechanism in potassium acid phthalate crystal: AC-conductivity investigation
Authors: Filipič Cene , Levstik Iva , Levstik Adrijan , Hadži Dušan 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The complex dielectric constant,

, of potassium acid phthalate monocrystal (KAP) was investigated over the broad frequency and temperature range. While the imaginary part of dielectric constant ε′′(ν) increases rapidly with increasing temperature in the studied temperature range, the real part of dielectric constant ε′(ν) increases only at high temperatures; there is almost no change of ε′(ν) below 200 K. Both values of ε′ and ε′′ are frequency dependent; the values increase with decreasing frequencies. At temperatures below 450 K the ac electrical conductivity and dielectric constant follow simultaneously the universal dielectric response (UDR). The analysis of the temperature dependence of the UDR parameter s in terms of the theoretical model for small polarons revealed that this mechanism governs the charge transport in KAP crystal in the studied temperature range.

Published: July 2016

Abstract
GaAsNSe films were grown by metal–organic molecular beam epitaxy using Ga droplets prepared on GaP(001) substrates. Ga droplets were formed on Sb-terminated GaP surfaces at a low density of 5.3 × 108 cm−2 at a substrate temperature of 520 °C. The Ga droplets were ∼63 nm in height and ∼164 nm in diameter. At the initial growth of GaAsNSe on GaP, step-flow growth was promoted by the atomic diffusion from the Ga droplets and flat terraces spread over the surface. Although there was a large lattice mismatch of 3.5% between GaAsNSe and GaP, three-dimensional island growth and pit formation were reduced considerably by the surface diffusion of Ga. In this paper, we report the contribution of Ga droplets to the heterogrowth process of GaAsNSe/GaP.
Prosodic Cues in Relative Clauses Disambiguation: Bilinguals vs. L2 Learners
Authors: Checa-Garcia Irene 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
This study investigates the preferences for attachment of a relative clause (RC) to a complex noun phrase (NP) of the type: NP1 of NP2, in Spanish-English bilinguals and advanced learners of Spanish. Spanish speakers show a moderate preference for attaching the RC to the first NP, while speakers of English prefer the second NP. Subjects were presented this construction in written (Experiment 1) and oral (Experiment 2) forms. Results show no group had a preference for either attachment in silent reading, Low Attachment was preferred with a pause after NP1 by learners, and High Attachment was preferred in the absence of any pause by bilinguals and learners. However, the learner group behaved distinctively in Experiment 2 in two ways: their reaction times were shorter, and their choice for the kind of RC attachment was more sensitive to the absence of a pause being more likely to choose Low Attachment, as English monolinguals. These results suggest that advanced learners are influenced by their L1 more heavily in oral comprehension than in reading, while bilinguals take longer for processing prosodic cues. Reasons for a slower bilingual processing are posited. Lastly, implications for prosody teaching are drawn from these results.
Using Video in Web-Based Listening Tests
Authors: Pardo-Ballester Cristina 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
With sophisticated multimedia technology, there is a renewed interest in the relationship between visual and auditory channels in assessing listening comprehension (LC). Research on the use of visuals in assessing listening has emerged with inconclusive results. Some learners perform better on tests which include visual input (Wagner, 2007) while others have found no difference in the performance of participants on the two test formats (Batty, 2015). These mixed results make it necessary to examine the role of using audio and video in LC as measured by L2 listening tests. The current study examined the effects of two different types of listening support on L2 learners’ comprehension: (a) visual aid in a video with input modified with redundancy and (b) no visuals (audio-only input) with input modified with redundancy. The participants of this study included 246 Spanish students enrolled in two different intermediate Spanish courses at a large Midwestern university who participated in four listening tasks either with video or with audio. Findings of whether the video serves as a listening support device and whether the course formats differ on intermediate-level Spanish learners’ comprehension will be shared as well as participants’ preferences with respect to listening support.
Historical Skills in Compulsory Education: Assessment, Inquiry Based Strategies and Students’ Argumentation
Authors: Gómez Carrasco Cosme J. , Miralles Martínez Pedro 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
This paper makes a reflection on the assessment of historical thinking in compulsory education. First, the article reflects on the type of knowledge that is being evaluated (memory or understanding). According to current thinking, assessment should meet the teaching aims set out by the teacher, it should be another means of monitoring and improving students' learning, of correcting mistakes made during the process and of taking relevant decisions. Secondly, there will be an analysis of the cognitive model of learning history proposed by international studies. The application of educational competences to assessment processes needs to be adjusted to the epistemological, pedagogical and cognitive fundaments of each subject. Finally, the article will make some proposals for evaluation, firstly by using methods of inquiry, problem-based learning and related teaching strategies, in addition to the use of tools to assess more complex skills of historical thinking with students argumentation. Historical thinking requires a variety of assessment tools that are able to capture the different capacities of the students in their interpretation of the past and their historical skills.
An Analysis of Communicative Language Functions in the Speech Patterns of Bilingual Korean and Mexican Immigrant Children
Authors: Sook Lee Jin , Choi Jane Y. , Marqués-Pascual Laura 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
For children from immigrant families, opportunities to develop additive bilingualism exist, yet bilingual attainment has varied widely. Given the significance of language development opportunities in home settings, this study examines the home language use of 20 second-generation children (ages 6–8) of Mexican and Korean descent in the United States. Using a language function framework, we provide a descriptive analysis of the communicative functions performed by these children and how their proficiency level, the interlocutors, and their home settings may influence their language use. Data include English and heritage language proficiency assessments, interviews with children and their mothers, and multiple video recordings of home interactions. Findings show little variation in the kinds of language functions performed by these children who mainly used language to convey or seek factual information, unless they were involved in imaginary play. Moreover, children found creative ways to communicate different linguistic functions as needed, even among those with limited proficiency. Interestingly, the Mexican American children had a greater tendency to use more heritage language in the home than the Korean American children, who used more English. The children rarely engaged in intersentential code-switching. Implications for educators, parents, and researchers are discussed.
