Published: January 2016

Databases which store and manage long-term scientific information related to life science are used to store huge amounts of quantitative attributes. Introduction of a new entity attribute requires modification of the existing data tables and the programs that use these data tables. The solution is increasing the virtual data tables while the number of screens remains the same. The main objective of the present study was to introduce a logic called Joker Tao (JT) which provides universal data storage for cloud-based databases. It means all types of input data can be interpreted as an entity and attribute at the same time, in the same data table.

Old Age and the Decline in Financial Literacy
Authors: Finke Michael S. , Howe John S. , Huston Sandra J. 
Published: January 2016

Households age 60 and older bear increasing responsibility for managing retirement portfolios, and they hold the majority of financial assets in the United States. Cognitive aging studies find evidence of a decline in fluid and crystallized intelligence in old age that may impact the ability to manage money effectively. Using a large sample of older respondents, we test whether knowledge of basic concepts essential to effective financial choice declines after age 60. We find a consistent linear decline in financial literacy score after age 60. A nearly identical rate of decline among men, stockowners, older, and college-educated respondents indicates that cohort effects are not driving the results. Confidence in financial decision-making abilities does not decline with age. A separate analysis using data that include measures of cognitive ability suggests that a natural decline in both fluid and crystallized intelligence in old age contributes to falling financial literacy scores.

Published: January 2016

Abstract
The use of social media as a marketing tool has increased significantly in recent years. However, limited information is available regarding social media use in the US forest products industry or social media adoption at the organizational level, especially within the business-to-business context. This study presents part two of a two-part series of articles that look at the forest products industry in the digital age. A mail survey was conducted in 2013 to examine factors affecting the use of social media in the US forest products industry. This article also looks at the perception of forest products companies regarding social media effectiveness and identifies challenges faced by the forest products companies regarding social media use. Results show that close to 58 percent of respondents currently use some form of social media. The most common social media tool implemented was Facebook. Respondents' adoption of social media was influenced by company age, net sales revenue, product type, Web site content, perceived importance of e-commerce, and perceived ease of use of social media as a marketing tool. About 94 percent of the respondents thought that social media was an effective tool for marketing. Although no major concerns were expressed regarding the use of social media, there was some concern about generating the return on investment to cover the costs associated with social media use. The information collected from this study can be used in assisting the forest products industry in understanding the world of social media marketing and developing an effective social media marketing strategy.
Snagged setae: Evaluating alternatives to cotton wool bungs for liquid-stored specimens
Authors: Allington-Jones Lu , Sherlock Emma 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
This study comprises a search for a replacement for cotton wool (also called cotton batting) stoppers within spirit collections. It briefly explores relevant published literature and documents a three-year experiment to test the durability of plastic lids, inert foam, and parafilm, within ethanol, IDA, and formalin. Following visual observations and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy the study concludes that Parafilm M™ is unsuitable for long-term use but Plastazote® bungs and polyethylene lids are suitable for vials within glass-lidded jars. The study should aid curators making decisions regarding suitable storage and transportation of spirit collections and prevent future damage of delicate specimens.
Dangers to malacological collections: Bynesian decay and pyrite decay
Authors: Cavallari Daniel Caracanhas , Salvador Rodrigo Brincalepe , Cunha Bruno Rodrigues da 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Specimen deterioration in museum collections and exhibits is a recurring worry of curators. Malacological collections, i.e., those containing mollusk shells, are of special concern, because these specimens are composed largely of calcium carbonate, a compound that easily deteriorates in acidic storage media. There are two main problems related to the presence of volatile acids in collections: Bynesian decay and pyrite decay. In Bynesian decay, acetic and formic acids, among others, are released by the materials used to store the collection: wood, varnishes, resins, paper, cardboard, and other storage materials. Under high relative humidity and inappropriate temperature, the acids react with the shells' carbonate, yielding salts and carbon dioxide. Pyrite decay is similar in appearance: fossil specimens may contain pyrite (FeS2), which in high relative humidity is oxidized, yielding sulfuric acid and other products. This acid corrodes other shells, including carbonatic fossils. The damage caused is irreversible, but there are methods to avoid or mitigate it. The collection should be kept in conditions of low relative humidity (45–50%) and appropriate temperature range (16–21°C). The use of archival materials, such as steel drawers and cabinets with electrostatic coating, is mandatory. Specimens containing reactive pyrite must be kept in archival-quality plastic containers or closed glass containers. Damaged specimens must be immediately removed and only returned to the collection after proper cleaning.
Applications of computed tomography to fossil conservation and education
Authors: Tembe Girish , Siddiqui Shameem 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) has been used for decades for paleontological research and fossil preparations. However, the benefits of CT scanning regarding conservation, exhibits, and education are rarely discussed. CT and rapid prototyping, although still prohibitively expensive on a large scale, are becoming cheaper and can provide another tool available to museums and educators teaching natural history.
Networking nature: Building cybercabinets of digital curiosities
Authors: Sargent R 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
In the age of the Internet, engaging the public online is critical to building audiences and broadening support for natural history. While collections managers have been providing online access to collections through sophisticated database search interfaces, less progress has been made to present these resources in a user-friendly framework. Some museums are thinking in terms of networked online knowledge and radically shifting the way they broker their digital content. This research examines ways natural history can be effectively presented online to the public by reviewing relevant literature, analyzing six model sites with a heuristic evaluation tool and a user survey, and exploring three case studies through project personnel interviews. Findings summarize important strategies for cultivating creative online access to natural history digital resources and culminate in offering guidelines for building these “cybercabinets” of digital natural history specimens.

Published: January 2016

Abstract
NH4+ is an important N-source which regulates plant growth and development. However, the underlying mechanism of NH4+ uptake and its-mediated signaling is poorly understood. Here, we performed phosphoproteomic studies using the titanium dioxide (TiO2)-mediated phosphopeptides collection method together with LC-MS analysis. The results indicated that phosphorylation levels of 23 and 43 peptides/proteins involved in diverse aspects, including metabolism, transport and signaling pathway, were decreased and increased respectively after NH4+ treatment in rice roots. Among 23 proteins detected, IDD10, a key transcription factor in ammonium signaling, was identified to reduce phosphorylation level of S313 residue. Further biochemical analysis using IDD10-GFP transgenic plants and immunoprecipitation assay confirmed that NH4+ supply reduces IDD10 phosphorylation level. Phosphorylation of ammonium transporter 1;1 (AMT1;1) was increased upon NH4+ treatment. Interestingly, phosphorylation of T446, a rice specific residue against Arabidopsis was identified. It was also established that phosphorylation of T452 is conserved with T460 of Arabidopsis AMT1;1. Yeast complementation assay with transformation of phosphomimic forms of AMT1;1 (T446/D and T452/D) into 31019b strain revealed that phosphorylation at T446 and T452 residues abolished AMT1;1 activity, while their plasma membrane localization was not changed. Our analyses show that many proteins were phosphorylated or dephosphorylated by NH4+ that may provide important evidence for studying ammonium uptake and its mediated signaling by which rice growth and development are regulated.
Ringing data and occurrence of Blue Tits Cyanistes caeruleus and Great Tits Parus major in Sombor (NW Serbia) for the period 1981–2013 /Obročkovalski podatki in pojavljanje plavčkov Cyanistes caeruleus in velikih sinic Parus major v mestu Sombor (SZ Srbija) med letoma 1981 in 2013

Pozvetek
Objavljanje in osnovna analiza obročkovalskih podatkov sta sicer pogosti temi člankov, redko pa so objavljeni podatki iz posameznega mesta, kot je denimo Sombor v premalo raziskani regiji Srbije. Predstavljamo podatke o obročkanju in ponovnem ulovu plavčkov Cyanistes caeruleus in velikih sinic Parus major za obdobje 32 let. Dodatno smo preverili vpliv povprečne najvišje temperature jeseni (september-december) in pozimi (januar-marec) na njihovo številčnost ter pojavljanje v dveh osnovnih habitatnih tipih (parki in vrtovi) v mestu Sombor. Skupno smo obročkali 1675 plavčkov (ponovno ujeti osebki N = 407) in 8062 velikih sinic (ponovno ujeti osebki N = 1517). Pri obeh vrstah so prevladovali mladi osebki (koda EURING 3 oz. 5). Najstarejše obročkane ptice obeh vrst so bile mlajše kot zabeleženo v drugih evropskih raziskavah. Številčnost obeh vrst ni bila povezana s povprečno najvišjo jesensko oziroma zimsko temperaturo. Število obročkanih ptic v parkih in vrtovih se ni pomembno razlikovalo. Glede na ugotovitve predhodnih raziskav sklepamo, da je njihova številčnost v posameznem habitatnem tipu odvisna od razpoložljivost hrane in vremenskih razmer, ne pa drugih okoljskih dejavnikov.
Plastic Deformation and Softening of the Surface Layer of Railway Wheel
Authors: Ławrynowicz Z. 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
In this study scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical micrograph observations were used to investigate the plastic deformation near the surface of the worn railway wheel following service. Microstructure, plastic deformation and micro-hardness of the material in the outermost tread layer of used passenger railway wheel were characterised. It was found that the material in the contact surface of wheel undergoes severe plastic deformation. Vickers micro-hardness measurements in the highly deformed layer could be correlated with softening of the outer wheel rim and the spheroidisation of the cementite phase. Examination of worn, railway wheel taken out of service, has indicated that cracks are predominantly initiated at the wheel surface down the edges of highly strained, pro-eutectoid ferrite zones (situated along prior austenite grain boundaries) and that such pro-eutectoid ferrite zones also facilitate crack propagation.
Process Optimization Variables for Direct Metal Laser Sintering

Published: January 2016

Abstract
Manufacturing is crucial to creation of wealth and provision of quality of life. Manufacturing covers numerous aspects from systems design and organization, technology and logistics, operational planning and control. The study of manufacturing technology is usually classified into conventional and non-conventional processes. As it is well known, the term "rapid prototyping" refers to a number of different but related technologies that can be used for building very complex physical models and prototype parts directly from 3D CAD model. Among these technologies are selective laser sintering (SLS) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). RP technologies can use wide range of materials which gives possibility for their application in different fields. RP has primary been developed for manufacturing industry in order to speed up the development of new products (prototypes, concept models, form, fit, and function testing, tooling patterns, final products - direct parts). Sintering is a term in the field of powder metallurgy and describes a process which takes place under a certain pressure and temperature over a period of time. During sintering particles of a powder material are bound together in a mold to a solid part. In selective laser sintering the crucial elements pressure and time are obsolete and the powder particles are only heated for a short period of time. SLS uses the fact that every physical system tends to achieve a condition of minimum energy. In the case of powder the partially melted particles aim to minimize their in comparison to a solid block of material enormous surface area through fusing their outer skins. Like all generative manufacturing processes laser sintering gains the geometrical information out of a 3D CAD model. This model is subdivided into slices or layers of a certain layer thickness. Following this is a revolving process which consists of three basic process steps: recoating, exposure, and lowering of the build platform until the part is finished completely.

In particular, for this model, we can give a streamlined new proof of the existence of locally minimizing transition layered solutions with nonsmooth interfaces, considered originally by del Pino in [6] using different techniques. Besides of its simplicity, the main advantage of our proof is that it allows one to deal with more degenerate situations. We also establish analogous results for a class of problems that includes the spatially inhomogeneous Fisher–KPP equation

Some Collision Solutions of the Rectilinear Periodically Forced Kepler Problem
Authors: Zhao Lei 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
In [5], Ortega has analyzed “generalized” collision solutions of the periodically forced rectilinear Kepler problem. In this note, we explain a different approach to study these solutions by embedding the non-autonomous Hamiltonian system into the zero-energy level of an autonomous Hamiltonian system and by employing the Levi-Civita regularization to regularize the double collisions. In addition to this, under a certain smoothness hypothesis of the periodic force term, we show that there exists a set of positive measure of generalized quasi-periodic solutions in the extended phase space, each of them accumulated by generalized periodic solutions of the system. The energy of these quasi-periodic solutions can have an arbitrary large absolute value.

Abstract
Pentasomy X is an extremely rare sex chromosome abnormality, a condition that only affects females, in which three more X chromosomes are added to the normally present two chromosomes in females. We investigated the novel clinical findings in a 1-year-old female baby with pentasomy X, and determined the parental origins of the X chromosomes. Our case had thenar atrophy, postnatal growth deficiency, developmental delay, mongoloid slant, microcephaly, ear anomalies, micrognathia and congenital heart disease. A conventional cytogenetic technique was applied for the diagnosis of the polysomy X, and quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) using 11 inherited short tandem repeat (STR) alleles specific to the chromosome X for the determination of parental origin of X chromosomes. A cytogenetic evaluation revealed that the karyotype of the infant was 49,XXXXX. Comparison of the infant’s features with previously reported cases indicated a clinically recognizable specific pattern of malformations referred to as the pentasomy X syndrome. However, to the best of our know-ledge, this is the first report of thenar atrophy in a patient with 49,XXXXX. The molecular analysis suggested that four X chromosomes of the infant originated from the mother as a result of the non disjunction events in meiosis I and meiosis II. We here state that the clinical manifestations seen in our case were consistent with those described previously in patients with pentasomy X. The degree of early hypotonia constitutes an important early prognostic feature in this syndrome. The pathogenesis of pentasomy X is not clear at present, but it is thought to be caused by successive maternal non disjunctions.
Fungal laccases as tools for biodegradation of industrial dyes
Authors: Zucca Paolo , Cocco Gianmarco , Sollai Francesca , Sanjust Enrico 
Published: January 2016

AbstractLaccases are blue copper oxidases, found in some plants and secreted by a wide range of ligninolytic fungi. These enzymes are well known for their ability in oxidizing several organic compounds, mainly phenolics and aromatic amines, at the expenses of molecular oxygen. Therefore, they could find application in the field of enzymatic bioremediation of many industrial wastewaters, and in particular to bleach and/or detoxify dye-containing effluents. Not all industrial dyes behave as laccase substrates, but this limitation is often overcome by the judicious use of redox mediators. These could substantially widen the application range of laccases as bioremediation tools. The present study encompasses the main properties of the most used industrial dyes as related to their chemical classification, fungal laccases and their molecular and catalytic features, the use of redox mediators, limitations and perspectives of the use of fungal laccases for industrial dye bleaching.
