An investigation of 7th grade students’ synthesizing mind skills<p>Ortaokul yedinci sınıf öğrencilerinin sentezleyen zihin özelliklerinin incelenmesi
Authors: Altındağ Mustafa , Senemoğlu Nuray 
Published: January 2018

In this study, it was investigated that to what extent the 7th grade math and science students have the synthesizing mind skills. The study group was formed by students in three schools (above average, average, and below average) located in Ankara. The schools were chosen according to Level Determination Examination scores in 2012. The data was gathered by an observation form, a scenario and student interview form, developed by the researcher. During science observation, average school students show the synthesizing mind skills more than the ones in other schools; in interviews, the students of above average school defined the level of their behaviours as below average, the students of below average school defined their behaviors as above average. Except for these particular circumstances, the extent of students’ synthesizing mind skills had the same characteristics as the academic grading of the schools. It was observed that the show of the synthesizing mind skills in the teaching-learning environment is largely dependent on the teachers’ abilities. For this reason, teachers should be trained to develop the synthesized mind skills of students.Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.

A Primer on Carnot Groups: Homogenous Groups, Carnot-Carathéodory Spaces, and Regularity of Their Isometries
Authors: Le Donne Enrico 
Published: January 2018

AbstractCarnot groups are distinguished spaces that are rich of structure: they are those Lie groups equipped with a path distance that is invariant by left-translations of the group and admit automorphisms that are dilations with respect to the distance. We present the basic theory of Carnot groups together with several remarks.We consider them as special cases of graded groups and as homogeneous metric spaces.We discuss the regularity of isometries in the general case of Carnot-Carathéodory spaces and of nilpotent metric Lie groups.
Public Health Insurance with Monopolistically Competitive Providers and Optional Spot Sales
Authors: Sorek Gilad , Randolph Beard T. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
We study the implications of extending public-insurance coverage over differentiated medical products of the same therapeutic group to market outcomes. The public insurer can set the reimbursement level for medical providers and the copayment for the insured for medical care provided under the policy coverage, but cannot directly control providers’ spot sales (outside of insurance) price. In this setup, the price offered by the public insurer to medical providers must maintain their reservation profit from selling on the spot market directly to consumers. We show that the public insurer can manipulate this reservation profit by setting the copayment rate, and thereby promote market welfare while increasing consumers’ surplus due to lower medical prices and lower market entry. The results survive generalizations including moral hazard and incomplete insurance coverage.

The Interface Reaction between Titanium and Iron-Nickel alloys
Authors: Wierzba Bartek , Nowak Wojciech J. , Serafin Daria 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThe reaction zones between pure titanium and iron-nickel and pure nickel at 1173 K have been characterized. Two alloys with different initial composition were analyzed. When Ni80Fe20 is used the layer sequence at the reaction interface is: Ni80Fe20 → Ni3Ti → NiTi → NiTi2 →Ti, while for Ni48Fe52 the sequence is: Ni48Fe52 → Ni3Ti → TiFe2 → TiFe → NiTi2 → Ti. The difference is in formation of NiTi, TiFe2 and TiFe phases. The reaction zone remains very thin independently of time due to the fast dissolution rate of Ti in the alloy. The two different elementary chemical interaction processes have been identified in this article, namely the growth of the reaction layers by solid state diffusion and chemical conversion of the compounds by reaction-diffusion in the solid state. The mathematical description combining these processes is presented for description of the diffusion path generated during diffusion process.
Effect of Pre-Oxidation on the Steam Oxidation of Heat-Resistant Steel T92

Published: January 2018

Abstract
Effect of pre-oxidation on the steam oxidation of T92 heat-resistant steel at 650 °C was investigated. The results show that the mass gain and the oxide thickness of T92 sample with pre-oxidation treatment were lower than that of T92 sample after exposure in steam at 650 °C. The compact and discrete Cr-rich oxide which formed on the pre-oxidized specimen hindered ion diffusion, leading to the lower oxidation rate. The effect of pre-oxidation worked at the initial stage due to the protective Cr-rich layer formed in air gas. After a long time exposure in steam, the pre-oxidation influence decreased slowly and eventually disappeared. What’s more, the adhesion property of oxide scale was improved by pre-oxidation.
Heralded orthogonalisation of coherent states and their conversion to discrete-variable superpositions
Authors: Kruse Regina , Silberhorn Christine , Bartley Tim 
Published: January 2018

Abstract The nonorthogonality of coherent states is a fundamental property which prevents them from being perfectly and deterministically discriminated. Here, we present an experimentally feasible protocol for the probabilistic orthogonalisation of a pair of coherent states, independent of their amplitude and phase. In contrast to unambiguous state discrimination, a successful operation of our protocol is heralded without measuring the states. As such, they remain suitable for further manipulation and the obtained orthogonal states serve as a discretevariable basis. Therefore, our protocol doubles as a simple continuous-to-discrete variable converter, which may find application in hybrid continuous-discrete quantum information processing protocols.

Alternating adjectives
Authors: Ramchand Gillian 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThe paper describes a puzzle in the semantics of a class of English adjectives which alternate systematically in meaning. We know from the literature on adjectival meanings that the STIMULUS vs. EXPERIENCER pair of roles forms the basis of two kinds of adjectives in English depending on whether the STIMULUS or the EXPERIENCER is the one who holds the property. Our puzzle adjectives alternate between these two readings in a way parallel to the morphologically marked adjectival participles (in -edvs. -ing) of Object Experiencer verbs. I argue further that there are reasons to think that the relationship between these two roles in this alternation is a stative version of causation, with the STIMULUS reading of the adjective being derived from the Psych EXPERIENCER reading. The existence of this alternation shows that within simple property ascriptions (of which adjectival predication is a prototypical expression) a distinction is made between Holders of properties simpliciter, and Holders of causational-properties. Thus, in analysing this adjectival puzzle as a parallel to verbal diathesis, the paper contributes to the debate on the similarities and differences between states and dynamic events.

Abstract
Liu, J, Lee, I, Feng, H-Z, Galen, SS, Hüttemann, PP, Perkins, GA, Jin, J-P, Hüttemann, M, and Malek, MH. Aerobic exercise preconception and during pregnancy enhances oxidative capacity in the hindlimb muscles of mice offspring. J Strength Cond Res 32(5): 1391–1403, 2018—Little is known about the effect of maternal exercise on offspring skeletal muscle health. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to determine whether maternal exercise (preconception and during pregnancy) alters offspring skeletal muscle capillarity and mitochondrial biogenesis. We hypothesized that offspring from exercised dams would have higher capillarity and mitochondrial density in the hindlimb muscles compared with offspring from sedentary dams. Female mice in the exercise condition had access to a running wheel in their individual cage 30 days before mating and throughout pregnancy, whereas the sedentary group did not have access to the running wheel before mating and during pregnancy. Male offspring from both groups were killed when they were 2 months old, and their tissues were analyzed. The results indicated no significant (p > 0.05) mean differences for capillarity density, capillarity-to-fiber ratio, or regulators of angiogenesis such as VEGF-A and TSP-1. Compared with offspring from sedentary dams, however, offspring from exercised dams had an increase in protein expression of myosin heavy chain type I (MHC I) (∼134%; p = 0.009), but no change in MHC II. For mitochondrial morphology, we found significant (all p-values ≤ 0.0124) increases in mitochondrial volume density (∼55%) and length (∼18%) as well as mitochondria per unit area (∼19%). For mitochondrial enzymes, there were also significant (all p-values ≤ 0.0058) increases in basal citrate synthase (∼79%) and cytochrome c oxidase activity (∼67%) in the nonoxidative muscle fibers as well as increases in basal (ATP) (∼52%). Last, there were also significant mean differences in protein expression for regulators (FIS1, Lon protease, and TFAM) of mitochondrial biogenesis. These findings suggest that maternal exercise before and during pregnancy enhances offspring skeletal muscle mitochondria functionality, but not capillarity.
An Innovative Method for Interpretation of Asphalt Boil Test

Published: January 2018

Abstract
In this study, an innovative method is presented to interpret a visually subjective test method related to the compatibility of asphalt and aggregate to moisture damage. This methodology measures the loss of adhesion between asphalt and aggregate using a colorimeter device. Visual test methods have been considered as subjective tests for the past seven or more decades, but with the advancement of technology and, in particular, the use of colorimeter devices, the results of these tests can now be interpreted in a quantitative manner. Although not shown in this particular study, this approach should be applicable to all visually subjective and even mechanistic or semimechanistic test methods that are used to evaluate asphalt mixtures’ susceptibility to moisture damage. The application of this approach has immense potential for other fields in asphalt technology such as tack coat curing-breaking time and visual survey of oxidation of asphalt concrete pavements.

Published: January 2018

AbstractInvertebrate and vertebrate nervous systems generate different types of dopaminergic neurons in distinct parts of the brain. We have taken a genetic approach to understand how the four functionally related, but lineally unrelated, classes of dopaminergic neurons of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, located in distinct parts of its nervous system, are specified. We have identified several genes involved in the generation of a specific dopaminergic neuron type that is generated from the so-called postdeirid lineage, called PDE. Apart from classic proneural genes and components of the mediator complex, we identified a novel, previously uncharacterized zinc finger transcription factor, ztf-6. Loss of ztf-6 has distinct effects in different dopamine neuron-producing neuronal lineages. In the postdeirid lineage, ztf-6 is required for proper cell division patterns and the proper distribution of a critical cell fate determinant, the POP-1/TCF-like transcription factor.
Egg Case Silk Gene Sequences fromArgiopeSpiders: Evidence for Multiple Loci and a Loss of Function Between Paralogs

Published: January 2018

AbstractSpiders swath their eggs with silk to protect developing embryos and hatchlings. Egg case silks, like other fibrous spider silks, are primarily composed of proteins called spidroins (spidroin = spider-fibroin). Silks, and thus spidroins, are important throughout the lives of spiders, yet the evolution of spidroin genes has been relatively understudied. Spidroin genes are notoriously difficult to sequence because they are typically very long (≥ 10 kb of coding sequence) and highly repetitive. Here, we investigate the evolution of spider silk genes through long-read sequencing of Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) clones. We demonstrate that the silver garden spider Argiope argentata has multiple egg case spidroin loci with a loss of function at one locus. We also use degenerate PCR primers to search the genomic DNA of congeneric species and find evidence for multiple egg case spidroin loci in other Argiope spiders. Comparative analyses show that these multiple loci are more similar at the nucleotide level within a species than between species. This pattern is consistent with concerted evolution homogenizing gene copies within a genome. More complicated explanations include convergent evolution or recent independent gene duplications within each species.

AbstractIn genomic-enabled prediction, the task of improving the accuracy of the prediction of lines in environments is difficult because the available information is generally sparse and usually has low correlations between traits. In current genomic selection, although researchers have a large amount of information and appropriate statistical models to process it, there is still limited computing efficiency to do so. Although some statistical models are usually mathematically elegant, many of them are also computationally inefficient, and they are impractical for many traits, lines, environments, and years because they need to sample from huge normal multivariate distributions. For these reasons, this study explores two recommender systems: item-based collaborative filtering (IBCF) and the matrix factorization algorithm (MF) in the context of multiple traits and multiple environments. The IBCF and MF methods were compared with two conventional methods on simulated and real data. Results of the simulated and real data sets show that the IBCF technique was slightly better in terms of prediction accuracy than the two conventional methods and the MF method when the correlation was moderately high. The IBCF technique is very attractive because it produces good predictions when there is high correlation between items (environment–trait combinations) and its implementation is computationally feasible, which can be useful for plant breeders who deal with very large data sets.

Published: January 2018

Abstract
Drosophila has long been a premier model for the development and application of cutting-edge genetic approaches. The CRISPR-Cas system now adds the ability to manipulate the genome with ease and precision, providing a rich toolbox to interrogate relationships between genotype and phenotype, to delineate and visualize how the genome is organized, to illuminate and manipulate RNA, and to pioneer new gene drive technologies. Myriad transformative approaches have already originated from the CRISPR-Cas system, which will likely continue to spark the creation of tools with diverse applications. Here, we provide an overview of how CRISPR-Cas gene editing has revolutionized genetic analysis in Drosophila and highlight key areas for future advances.
Subcellular Specialization and Organelle Behavior in Germ Cells
Authors: Yamashita Yukiko M 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Gametes, eggs and sperm, are the highly specialized cell types on which the development of new life solely depends. Although all cells share essential organelles, such as the ER (endoplasmic reticulum), Golgi, mitochondria, and centrosomes, germ cells display unique regulation and behavior of organelles during gametogenesis. These germ cell-specific functions of organelles serve critical roles in successful gamete production. In this chapter, I will review the behaviors and roles of organelles during germ cell differentiation.
