Published: April 2016

The territorial administration of Turkey is based on provincial administrative system. Within this system, governors in the provinces and sub-governors in the districts are essentially, the representative of the central government in those respective administrative units. They are responsible for public services of mainly carried out by central government in the country such as community safety, education, agriculture, public health, tourism. Their profession has a long historical background in Turkey. In this aspect, their functions and roles have strategic importance in the administrative system. That is why, they have specific in service training period at the beginning of the profession. On the other hand, the changes to the public administration understanding in the world wide have impact on the Turkish Public Administration in functional and organizational aspects of. The study focuses on the perception of the governors and sub-governors, especially over their profession and its changes in the last decades. Regarding the preferences of the executives, they consider the most significant part of their profession was the provision of the public security services.

Free vibrations and buckling analysis of laminated plates by oscillatory radial basis functions
Authors: Neves A. M. A. , Ferreira A. J. M. 
Published: April 2016

AbstractIn this paper the free vibrations and buckling analysis of laminated plates is performed using a global meshless method. A refined version of Kant’s theorie which accounts for transverse normal stress and through-the-thickness deformation is used. The innovation is the use of oscillatory radial basis functions. Numerical examples are performed and results are presented and compared to available references. Such functions proved to be an alternative to the tradicional nonoscillatory radial basis functions.
Probabilistic fracture investigation of symmetric angle ply laminated composite plates using displacement correlation method
Authors: Lal Achchhe , Palekar Shailesh P. 
Published: April 2016

AbstractThe second order statistics of mixed mode stress intensity factors (MSIF) of single edge V-notched angle ply laminated composite plate subjected to uniaxial tensile load with uncertinity in the system properties using displacement correlation method (DCM) is evaluated. The random system properties such as material properties, crack opening and crack length are modelled as combined uncorrelated and correlated random system variables. A C0 finite element method (FEM) based on higher order shear deformation plate theory (HSDT) is used for basic formulation. The Taylor series based first order perturbation technique (FOPT), second order perturbation technique (SOPT) are used and direct Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is performed to evaluate the statistics (mean and coefficient of variance) of the mixed mode SIFs. The present work signifies the accurate analysis of frature behaviour by influence of different random variables and fibre orientations on the fracture behaviour in angle ply laminates.
Vibrations of Composite Laminated Circular Panels and Shells of Revolution with General Elastic Boundary Conditions via Fourier-Ritz Method
Authors: Wang Qingshan , Shi Dongyan , Pang Fuzhen , Liang Qian 
Published: April 2016

AbstractA Fourier-Ritz method for predicting the free vibration of composite laminated circular panels and shells of revolution subjected to various combinations of classical and non-classical boundary conditions is presented in this paper. A modified Fourier series approach in conjunction with a Ritz technique is employed to derive the formulation based on the first-order shear deformation theory. The general boundary condition can be achieved by the boundary spring technique in which three types of liner and two types of rotation springs along the edges of the composite laminated circular panels and shells of revolution are set to imitate the boundary force. Besides, the complete shells of revolution can be achieved by using the coupling spring technique to imitate the kinematic compatibility and physical compatibility conditions of composite laminated circular panels at the common meridian with &#952; = 0 and 2&#960;. The comparisons established in a sufficiently conclusive manner show that the present formulation is capable of yielding highly accurate solutions with little computational effort. The influence of boundary and coupling restraint parameters, circumference angles, stiffness ratios, numbers of layer and fiber orientations on the vibration behavior of the composite laminated circular panels and shells of revolution are also discussed.
Sympathetic Trippings Blocking in Over Current Relay Coordination Algorithm during Steady State & Transient Network Topologies
Authors: Singh Manohar , Panigrahi B.K. , Vishnuvardhan T. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
In this paper an improved over current relay coordination protection technique is proposed. The proposed technique eliminates the sympathetic/nuisance tripping in an interconnected distribution system. Nuisance trippings are eliminated by incorporating the additional selectivity constraints in conventional over current relay coordination problem. Whenever the fault is cleared only from one end of the line in bidirectional fault feed lines, transient network configuration comes into existence. Transient network configuration causes the redistribution of fault in the distribution system and leads to further nuisance tripping of relays. This problem in this paper is solved by minimising the operating time gap between primary relays located at near end and far end of a faulty line to the best minimum possible value. The differential search algorithm is applied for optimization of highly non-linear over current relay coordination problem in this paper. The result presented in this paper shows that the proposed over current relay coordination technique is immune against the sympathetic/nuisance tripping and operating time difference between primary relays at near end and far end is also minimised within acceptable time margin successfully.
Design considerations for a large-scale image-based text search engine in historical manuscript collections
Authors: Schomaker Lambert 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
This article gives an overview of design considerations for a handwriting search engine
based on pattern recognition and high-performance computing, “Monk”. In order to satisfy
multiple and often conflicting technological requirements, an architecture is used which
heavily relies on high-performance computing, interactivity, and a Posix file-access model
for the scientific programmers. The resulting system is able to handle billions of image
files, in the order of petabytes of storage capacity, with a single mount point. Monk is
operational since the year 2009.

A De Jure Criticism of Theism
Authors: Goodnick Liz 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
An evolutionary by-product explanation entails that religious belief is an unintended consequence
of a cognitive process selected for by evolution. In this paper, I argue that if a by-product explanation is true,
then religious belief is unwarranted (even if God exists). In particular, I argue that if the cause of religious
belief is the god-faculty (HADD + ToM + eToM + MCI), then it is likely unreliable; thus, religious belief is
unwarranted. Plantinga argues that de jure criticisms are not independent of de facto criticisms: without
knowing whether or not God exists, one can’t say that belief in God is unwarranted, since if God exists, it is
possible that God has planned that this mechanism would lead to belief in Him. Against Plantinga, I show
that in order for de jure criticisms to have force, it is not necessary to know that God does not exist. Instead,
one only needs to doubt His existence. And if by-product explanations turn out to be supported by the
evidence, this fact alone gives us reason to doubt God’s existence. Thus, if the by-product explanation is
true, belief in God is not warranted; if we know this, then we have reason to doubt theism.
Beyond Mindfulness
Authors: Plante Thomas G. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Since the publication of Bergin’s classic 1980 paper “Psychotherapy and Religious Values” in the
Journal of Clinical and Consulting Psychology, an enormous amount of quality research has been conducted
on the integration of religious and spiritual values and perspectives into the psychotherapy endeavor.
Numerous empirical studies, chapters, books, blogs, and specialty organizations have emerged in the
past 35 years that have helped researchers and clinicians alike come to appreciate the value of religion
and spirituality in the psychotherapeutic process. While so much has been accomplished in this area of
integration, so much more needs to occur in order for the psychotherapeutic world to benefit from the
wisdom of the great religious and spiritual traditions and values. While state-of-the-art quality research
has and continues to demonstrate how religious and spiritual practices and values can be used effectively
to enhance the benefits of behavioral and psychological interventions, too often the field either gets
overly focused on particular and perhaps trendy areas of interest (e.g., mindfulness) or fails to appreciate
and incorporate the research evidence supporting (or not supporting) the use of certain religiously or
spiritually informed assessments and interventions. The purpose of this article is to reflect on where the
field integrating religion, spirituality and psychotherapy has evolved through the present and where it still
needs to go in the future. In doing so I hope to reflect on the call for integration that Bergin highlights in his
classic 1980 paper.
Freeing Biblical Poetry to Sing
Authors: Boerger Brenda H. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
This article claims that the cognitive effects of music on the brain reinforce the Biblical exhortation
to “Sing to the Lord a new song” (Psalm 96:1, Colossians 3:16). Then it explores how this is borne out in
poetic translations of Biblical Hebrew poetry into indigenous song forms in Natügu [ntu] and English [eng].
The numerous positive results of using sung poetic translations support the psycholinguistic literature, and
suggest that to achieve similar benefits it should become standard best practice in Bible translation to set
Biblical poetry translations to music.
Translating the Old Testament: Learning from the King James Bible
Authors: Robson James E. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The Hebrew word “dabar” is translated in the King James Bible by no fewer than 82 different
English words. This article explores how and why it is translated like this, considering some of the issues
at stake in Bible translation more generally, and with the King James Bible, in particular. It examines more
closely six ways in which translation decisions either affect interpretation or reveal the translation process.
It draws out implications for translators, readers, and for evaluating the KJB.
Therapist Effects and Spiritually Oriented Psychotherapy
Authors: Sperry Len 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Research on therapist effectiveness (i.e., therapist effects) is important for spiritually oriented
psychotherapy to mature and flourish as a specialty. Therapist effects are described and compared to
treatment effects, and then a research-based profile of the effective therapist is sketched. This characterization
is similar in both spiritually-oriented psychotherapy and secular psychotherapy, which has no spiritual
orientation. The challenge for this specialty is for research to integrate both therapist effects and treatment
effects to inform psychotherapy training. This discussion is framed within Alan Bergin‘s (1980) “hope“ that
the psychotherapy profession would become more comprehensive and more effective.
Non-Destructive Analysis of 14th–19th Century European Handmade Papers
Authors: Barrett Timothy , Ormsby Mark , Lang Joseph B. 
Published: April 2016

AbstractNon-destructive analysis of 1,578 paper specimens made between the fourteenth and the nineteenth centuries was undertaken in an effort to better understand changes in paper composition over time and how these variations might affect paper stability during long term natural ageing. Gelatine content and colour were determined using UV/Vis/NIR spectrometry. Residual metals were measured using XRF. These components included potassium and sulfur as elements indicative of alum concentration; iron as a typical paper contaminant; and calcium, which is often associated with compounds such as calcium carbonate that can serve as alkaline reserves. The research demonstrated that papers that are lighter in colour (closer to white) are associated with higher levels of gelatine and calcium, and lower levels of iron. The survey also showed significant decreases in gelatine and calcium concentration over time with the largest differences coinciding with the rise of printing around 1500. The drop in pH over the centuries observed by other researchers is explained by the decreases in these two components rather than by a rise in alum concentration, which remained fairly stable. The craftsmanship of the specimens was evaluated using materials and workmanship ratings which showed better quality paper associated with higher gelatine and calcium concentrations and colour closer to white. Poorer quality papers were associated with higher iron levels and greater thickness.
Multiscale thermomechanical modeling of short fiber-reinforced composites
Authors: Jia Dawei , Shi Huiji , Cheng Lei 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
A study of the micromechanical behavior to predict the overall response of short fiber-reinforced composites under cyclic mechanical and thermal loading is presented. The instantaneous average over a “representative volume” of the material is considered. The influence of the short fiber’s aspect ratio, volume fraction, and spatial orientation has been investigated. The linear combined hardening model is used to describe the cyclic hardening effects in the case of metal matrix. A numerical procedure is used to predict the response of composites under mechanical and thermal conditions. The results of the numerical procedure have been compared to the results of three different models and to published experimental data.
Nonlinear Markov processes in big networks
Authors: Li Quan-Lin 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Big networks express multiple classes of large-scale networks in many practical areas such as computer
networks, internet of things, cloud computation, manufacturing systems, transportation networks, and
healthcare systems. This paper analyzes such big networks, and applies the mean-field theory and the nonlinear
Markov processes to constructing a broad class of nonlinear continuous-time block-structured Markov
processes, which can be used to deal with many practical stochastic systems. Firstly, a nonlinear Markov
process is derived from a large number of big networks with weak interactions, where each big network is described
as a continuous-time block-structured Markov process. Secondly, some effective algorithms are given
for computing the fixed points of the nonlinear Markov process by means of the UL-type RG-factorization. Finally,
the Birkhoff center, the locally stable fixed points, the Lyapunov functions and the relative entropy are
developed to analyze stability or metastability of the system of weakly interacting big networks, and several
interesting open problems are proposed with detailed interpretation. We believe that the methodology and
results given in this paper can be useful and effective in the study of big networks.

Abstract
The crystal and molecular structures of (Ph3P)2M[S2CN(Me)CH2CH2OH], M=Cu, isolated as a 1:1 dichloromethane solvate (1·CH2Cl2), and M=Ag (4) show the central metal atom to be coordinated by a symmetrically (1·CH2Cl2) and asymmetrically chelating (4) dithiocarbamate ligand. The distorted tetrahedral geometries are completed by two PPh3 ligands. The presence of hydroxyl-O–H···S(dithiocarbamate) hydrogen bonds leads to centrosymmetric dimeric aggregates in each crystal structure. In the molecular packing of 1·CH2Cl2, channels comprising 1 are formed via aryl-C–H···O interactions with the solvent molecules associated with the walls of the channels via methylene-C–H···S, π(aryl) interactions. For 4, the dimeric aggregates are connected via a network of aryl-C–H···π(aryl) interactions. Preliminary screening for anti-microbial activity was conducted. The compounds were only potent against Gram-positive bacteria. Some further selectivity in activity was noted. Most notably, all compounds were active against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Dipole oscillator strength distributions are constructed for CF4, CClF3, CCl2F2,
CCl3F, CHF3, CH3F, CH3Cl, CH3Br, CH3I, C2F6, and
CCl3CF3 from experimental and theoretical photoabsorption cross-sections combined with constraints provided
by the Kuhn–Reiche–Thomas sum rule, the high-energy behavior of the dipole-oscillator-strength density, and either molar
refractivity data or static dipole polarizabilities depending upon the availability of refractivities. The distributions
are used to predict dipole sum rules S(k), mean excitation energies I(k), and van der Waals C

coefficients. Pseudospectral representations of the DOSDs are reported.
Mapping Cortical Responses to Somatosensory Stimuli in Human Infants with Simultaneous Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Event-Related Potential Recording
Authors: Verriotis Madeleine , Fabrizi Lorenzo , Lee Amy , Cooper Robert J. , Fitzgerald Maria , Meek Judith 
Published: April 2016

AbstractNear-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG) have recently provided fundamental new information about how the newborn brain processes innocuous and noxious somatosensory information. However, results derived independently from these two techniques are not entirely consistent, raising questions about the relationship between hemodynamic and electrophysiological responses in the study of touch and pain processing in the newborn. To address this, we have recorded NIRS and EEG responses simultaneously for the first time in the human infant following noxious (time-locked clinically required heel lances) and innocuous tactile cutaneous stimulation in 30 newborn infants. The results show that both techniques can be used to record quantifiable and distinct innocuous and noxious evoked activity at a group level in the newborn cortex. Noxious stimulation elicits a peak hemodynamic response that is 10-fold larger than that elicited by an innocuous stimulus (HbO2: 2.0 vs 0.3 µm) and a distinct nociceptive-specific N3P3 waveform in electrophysiological recordings. However, a novel single-trial analysis revealed that hemodynamic and electrophysiological responses do not always co-occur at an individual level, although when they do (64% of noxious test occasions), they are significantly correlated in magnitude. These data show that, while hemodynamic and electrophysiological touch and pain brain activity in newborn infants are comparable in group analyses, important individual differences remain. These data indicate that integrated and multimodal brain monitoring is required to understand central touch and pain processing in the newborn.
