Authors: Piegdoń Izabela , Tchórzewska-Cieślak Barbara 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Daily exploitation of the network, collected data base concerning the pipes failures and knowledge of employees forming the base of data using in effective failure removal process. The paper presents a methodology of assessment of technical condition of water pipes, based on ranking the failures and danger degree they present resulting the lack of water supply to the water consumers. Often decision making process take place under uncertainty conditions, therefore presented method is based on assessment of degree of danger pipe failure making by experts using fuzzy theory and fuzzy sets. In the paper a fuzzy graph including various types of failures causing lack of water supply was presented.

Authors: Siergiejczyk Mirosław , Paś Jacek , Rosiński Adam 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
CCTV systems are widely used across plethora of industrial areas including transport, where their function is to support transport telematics systems. Among others, they are used to ensure travel safety. This paper presented a reliability and maintenance analysis of CCTV. It led to building a relationships graph and then Chapman–Kolmogorov system of equations was derived to describe it. Drawing on those equations, relationships for calculating probability of system staying in state of full ability SPZ, state of the impendency over safety SZB1 as well as state of unreliability of safety SB were derived.

AbstractAssessing the degree of involvement of caregivers for children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in their diabetes care, differences in the degree of involvement based on the method of insulin administration (multiple daily injections: MDI/continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion: CSII), and its effect on glycemic control.: This was a cross-sectional study with T1DM patients, ages 6–13 years using a six question survey derived from the Diabetes Family Responsibility Questionnaire (DFRQ). All caregivers (n=140) and participants between ages 11 and 13 (n=60) completed the survey.Significant differences between MDI and CSII caregiver responses were found for responsibility for giving insulin boluses, as well as for rotation of infusion/injection sites (p<0.001 and p=0.03, respectively). A sub-analysis of caregiver responses for caregiver versus child responsibility for giving infusion boluses (excluding shared responsibility) showed that 36% of children in the CSII group had primary responsibility for giving insulin boluses, compared to 17% in the MDI group (p<0.001). The median agreement for all questions combined between participants and caregivers for ages 11–13 (n=60 pairs) was “poor” (κ=0.18). No significant effect of parental involvement on last 2-year average HbACaregiver reported diabetes care responsibility (mostly parent, mostly child, shared between parent and child) varies for certain aspects of diabetes related care for children ages 6–13, depending upon the mode of insulin administration. Based on the reported degree of parental collaboration, HbA
Probleme des ‚kantianischen‘ Nonkonzeptualismus im Hinblick auf die B-Deduktion
Authors: Schulting Dennis 
Published: December 2015

Abstract:Recently, Allais, Hanna and others have argued that Kant is a nonconceptualist about intuition and that intuitions refer objectively, independently of the functions of the understanding. Kantian conceptualists have responded (e.g. with reference to KrV, A 89 ff./B 122 ff. (§ 13), which the nonconceptualists also cite as textual evidence for their reading) that this view conflicts with the central goal of Kant’s Transcendental Deduction: to argue that all intuitions are subject to the categories. I argue that the conceptualist reading of KrV, A 89 ff./B 122 ff. is unfounded. Further, I argue that the nonconceptualists are wrong to believe that intuitions as such refer objectively and that they are mistaken about the relation between figurative synthesis and intellectual synthesis.
Tracking the Law and Development Continuum through Multiple Intersections
Authors: Ordor Ada 
Published: December 2015

AbstractIdeas expressed as law and development theories have sought to connect law and development by creating a framework within which the role of law in development may be better understood and perhaps even packaged as a kit to be recommended to governments as a way of advancing development. Over the years, thoughts on law and development have crystallised around various concepts such as economic growth, the rule of law, the empowerment of the poor and the growth of institutions. One thing that stands out clearly from these debates is that while there may be a measure of consensus around particular theses or propositions, unanimity among all thinkers, scholars and actors is not likely to follow, nor is it necessarily desirable. This paper draws out threads of thought that present various positions as facets of the law and development dynamic and at the same time, progressive points on the multi-dimensional development continuum. The first section on the progression of law and development summarises a number of themes at the forefront of law and development theorisation over the years. Reflections on these developments follow in the second segment, while a third segment describes various contexts for engaging with law and development studies. This segment, which leads into the conclusion, highlights some key dimensions of law and development thought that need to be further explored and given a place in the taxonomy of law and development scholarship.
Isotropic distributions in hcp crystals
Authors: Kontrym-Sznajd Grażyna 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Some anisotropic quantities in crystalline solids can be determined from their knowledge along a limited number of sampling directions. The importance of the choice of such directions is illustrated on the example of estimating, from angular correlation of annihilation radiation data, the isotropic electron momentum density in Gd.
Investigation of corrosion defects in titanium by positron annihilation
Authors: Pietrzak Ryszard , Szatanik Roman 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The positron annihilation method was used to study the formation of defects in titanium samples during their corrosion in the vapor of a 3% HCl solution. In particular, the distribution of defects depending on the distance from the corroding surface and the impact of an external magnetic field on the concentration of vacancies forming during the corrosion of titanium layers close to the surface were determined.
Fabrication of a superhydrophobic LLDPE film by thermal lamination and peeling
Authors: Zhang Zhen-Xiu , Zhao Xiao-pei , Li Ya-Nan , Ma Zhen-Guo , Xiang Xin Zhen , K. Prakashan 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Fabrication of superhydrophobic films of polypropylene and of three different types of polyethylene was performed using a facile hot-press lamination and peeling process, which successfully fabricated a superhydrophobic film of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). The water contact angle on the superhydrophobic reached as high as 160°, and the roll-off angle decreased to below 7°. The superhydrophobicity of the LLDPE film was attributed to a special surface morphology comprising micron- and submicron-sized fiber-like structures fabricated on the film surface by the hot-press lamination and peeling process. The method is based on the mutual adhesion and interdiffusion of polymer chains at the film interface during hot-press lamination and on the subsequent unzipping of the morphology during the peeling at room temperature. The effects of varying hot-pressing temperature and time on the surface morphology and wetting characteristics of the fabricated LLDPE films were also investigated.
Bilder und Botschaften: die Darstellung der Interaktion von Mensch und Tier als ein gemeinsames Moment der Frühlatènekunst
Authors: Hess Marina Sarah 
Published: December 2015

Die frühkeltische Kunst ist zwar von mediterranen, vorderorientalischen und einheimischen Impulsen durchdrungen, aber doch in so eigentüm licher Gestaltung, dass es sich bei ihr um keine Genese handeln kann. Die wiederkehrenden Motive Mensch, Tier und Pflanze lassen vermuten, dass die Kunst Chiffren beinhaltet, deren Botschaften sich der heutigen Forschung bislang entziehen. Der Beitrag nimmt sich diesem Problem an und schlägt als gemeinsames Moment der Frühlatènekunst eine Interaktion von Mensch und (Raub-)Tier vor. Es wird der Versuch unternommen, anhand mehrerer Varianten der Darstellungen herauszufinden, ob es sich bei den Bildern um die verkürzte Darstellung einer Geschichte handeln könnte.L’art de La Tène ancienne a certes pénétré des impulsions méditerranéennes, Orient avant et indigènes, toutefois quand même si particulièrement qu’il ne peut pas s’agir de genèse. Les motifs périodiques comme l’homme, l’animal et le plante laissent supposer qu’il comprend l’art avec des codes dont l’ambassade se soustrait à la recherche actuelle. La contribution voudrait s’accepter ce problème et postule une interaction d’homme et (de vol) d’animal pour l’art de La Tène ancienne comme moment commun. La tentative est entreprise de découvrir au moyen de plusieurs variantes des représentations s’il pourrait s’agir en ce qui concerne les images de représentation réduite d’une histoire.Early Celtic art is influenced by the Mediterrean, Near East and indigene inputs, but anyway so peculiar that it is clearly no genesis. The regular motives human, animal and plant give an idea, that this art contains codes, with clear messages, not known until now. This article focusses on this problem and follow the thesis for early Celtic art that the interaction of human and (wild) animal is the important common thing. It will be tried to focus on some options all these pictures follow to find out, if this images could be interpreted as a reduced presentation of a story.

„Tote Menschen und Tiere in finsteren Felsschächten …“ – neue Dokumentationsmethodik und erste Untersuchungsergebnisse zur Kirschbaumhöhle in Oberfranken
Authors: Seregély Timo , Burgdorf Phil , Gresik Gerhard , Müller Magdalena S. , Wilk Angelika 
Published: December 2015

Schachthöhlen im Bereich der Fränkischen Alb erfuhren während prähistorischer Zeit sehr oft eine Nutzung als Deponierungsorte menschlicher und tierischer Körper sowie anderer Sachfunde. Die Deutung der Einbringungsmotive ist kontrovers, wobei die schlechte Forschungslage bislang keine eindeutigen Belege zuließ. Mit Hilfe dreidimensionaler Dokumentationsverfahren sowie akribischer Fundbergung und -analyse bietet die erst jüngst entdeckte Kirschbaumhöhle in Oberfranken erstmals die Chance, die genauere Ablagerungsgeschichte der Fundhorizonte und die rituellen Handlungsabläufe in Verbindung mit naturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen zu rekonstruieren.Les grottes verticales ou gouffres du Jura franconien ont fréquemment été utilisées au cours de la préhistoire pout y déposer des corps humains et animaux ainsi que d’autres matériaux. Les raisons derrière ces dépôts sont mal comprises, et les données sûres manquent, étant donné l’état déplorable des recherches entreprises jusqu’à présent. Mais ceci est en train de changer, grâce à l’enregistrement en trois dimensions et à un relevé méticuleux des données et du mobilier. La grotte de Kirschbaumhöhle en Franconie supérieure, découverte seulement récemment, nous donne pour la première fois l’occasion de reconstruire, en intégrant les résultats obtenus par les sciences naturelles, la séquence détaillée des dépôts, des ensembles et des rituels accomplis dans ces gouffres.Shaft caves (or vertical caves) in the Franconian Alb were frequently used in prehistory for the disposal of human and animal bodies as well as other assemblages. Interpreting the reasons behind such depositions is controversial; unequivocal evidence is hard to come by given the poor state of research conducted to date. But this situation is changing thanks to three-dimensional recording and a meticulous approach to finds recovery. The Kirschbaumhöhle in Upper Franconia, discovered only recently, provides for the first time an opportunity to reconstruct the detailed sequence of deposition of the assemblages and the rituals conducted there by relating them to the results of analyses stemming from the natural sciences.
El debate Santos – Zuluaga, el uso de formas y secuencias recurrentes como mecanismos lingüístico-discursivos
Authors: Bayter Henry Hernández 
Published: December 2015

Resumen
Nos proponemos analizar los mecanismos lingüístico-discursivos movilizados por los dos candidatos a las últimas elecciones colombianas de 2014. Nuestro objetivo es poner de manifiesto las diferentes estructuras discursivas utilizadas por los dos candidatos durante el debate entre la primera y la segunda vuelta del 9 de junio de 2014.
Este estudio se centra en ciertas formas recurrentes utilizadas por los dos candidatos con el propósito de exponer sus argumentos y desarrollarlos. En primer lugar, podemos constatar el uso frecuente de ciertos elementos deícticos, tanto de persona como de tiempo, por parte de cada candidato. Estos elementos fueron utilizados con un objetivo particular en el discurso de cada cual: el candidato presidente utilizó más frecuentemente la primera persona del plural exclusiva (él y su equipo de trabajo) y el tiempo verbal perfecto para poner de manifiesto los logros en su primer periodo presidencial; mientras que el candidato opositor utilizó con más frecuencia la primera persona del singular y la primera persona del plural inclusiva (él y los televidentes) además de los tiempos verbales del presente para expresar su voluntad de ser presidente, así como los tiempos verbales del perfecto, no retrospectivos, para criticar a su oponente. En segundo lugar, cada candidato construyó una progresión argumentativa alrededor de una sola estrategia discursiva centrada en el tema de la paz. Por un lado, el candidato presidente Juan Manuel Santos utilizó un campo semántico del cambio y de la paz determinada. Por el otro, el candidato opositor Oscar Iván Zuluaga usó un campo semántico alrededor de la paz indeterminada y con condiciones.
Estas dos grandes estrategias engloban otras estrategias discursivas que trataremos de detallar en nuestro estudio, a saber: el empleo de fórmulas y de sus contrarios con el objetivo de legitimar la palabra de cada quien y de deslegitimar la palabra del adversario, entre otras.
Single-shot LIBS spectral quality for waste
particles in open air
Authors: Xia Han , Bakker Maarten C. M. 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
This work investigates the ability of LIBS to produce quality spectra
from small particles of concrete demolition waste using single-shot
spectra collected in open air. The 2–8 mm materials are
rounded river gravel, green glass shards, and plastic
flakes. Considered are focal length, air, moisture, laser energy, and
laser incidence angle (LIA). The research methodology is an
experimental study using the so-called observation depth
(OD) and spectral abundance as quality
indicators. The relation between ablation volume, breakdown threshold,
optical signal strength, and OD is captured in
a simplified model to provide a better understanding of the dependence
of the spectra on the LIA and material positioning
in the laser beam. A 100 mm lens provided a compromise
between spectral abundance, level of air interference and achievable
OD. The study indicates LIBS can yield good quality
data, even in cases of up to 3 mm surface
roughness. Surface moisture did raise the percentage of bad spectra
from an average 4% to 18%, but overall LIBS is still
capable of providing quality data under challenging conditions.
Visible hyperspectral imaging for lamb quality prediction
Authors: Qiao Tong , Ren Jinchang , Yang Zhijing , Qing Chunmei , Zabalza Jaime , Marshall Stephen 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Three factors, including tenderness, juiciness and flavour, are found
to have an impact on lamb eating quality, which determines the
repurchase behaviour of customers. In addition to these factors, the
surface colour of lamb can also influence the purchase decision of
consumers. From a long time ago, meat industries have been looking for
fast and non-invasive objective quality evaluation approaches, where
near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and hyperspectral imaging (HSI) have
shown great promises in assessing beef quality compared with
conventional methods. However, rare research has been conducted for
lamb samples. Therefore, in this paper the feasibility of the HSI
system for evaluating lamb quality was tested. In total 80 lamb
samples were imaged using a visible range HSI system and the spectral
profiles were used for predicting lamb quality related traits. For
some traits, noise was further removed from HSI spectra by singular
spectrum analysis (SSA) for better performance. Considering support
vector machine (SVM) is sensitive to high dimensional data, principal
component analysis (PCA) was applied to reduce the dimensionality of
HSI spectra before feeding into SVM for constructing prediction
equations. The prediction results suggest that HSI is promising in
predicting some lamb eating quality traits, which could be beneficial
for lamb industries.

The ‘Prostration Hemerology’ Revisited: An Everyman’s Manual at the King’s Court
Authors: Jiménez Enrique , Adalı Selim F. 
Published: December 2015

Abstract:The ‘Prostration Hemerology’, with its seemingly random selection of dates and plethora of unparalleled prescriptions – such as the towing of boats upstream, the kissing of ecstatics, and the impregnating of street women –, is one of the most peculiar hemerologies in Alasdair Livingstone’s recent anthology of the genre. This article attempts a new reconstruction of the text which differs from Livingstone’s in several respects. To this end it uses eight previously unpublished manuscripts, identified in the collections of the Ancient Orient Museum of the Istanbul Archaeological Museums, the University Museum (Philadelphia), and the British Museum. Thanks to these and the collation of the other five tablets used by Livingstone, an almost complete reconstruction of the text is now possible. It reveals itself to be an influential hemerology: as well as being widely cited by scholars at the Assyrian court, it was extensively quoted in later hemerological compilations.
