Couples' narratives of shared‐self, possessions and consumption experiences
Authors: Wong Phoebe , Hogg Margaret K. , Vanharanta Markus 
Published: October 2016

AbstractHow consumers use possessions and consumption to enact their shared‐self has been underexplored in earlier consumer research. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the emergence of couple‐level (or partnered) shared‐self. A narrative research method was used in Hong Kong, which allowed for an inter‐temporal narrative about the informants' important possessions. Our findings revealed key characteristics regarding the way in which informants' interpretations of shared selves developed over time. This included sharing and negotiating resources (e.g., a house or money) with their partners, integrating similar perspectives (e.g., interests and lifestyle) to their partners', and including their partners as part of the self. This study provides the basis for future research to see how these findings hold up at other stages of partnered relationships. This research provides a conceptualization – a temporal model of couples' shared‐self – that could contribute to and enhance the existing literature on the interrelationship between possessions and the extended self.

The moderating effects of financial broad‐scope trust on consumer knowledge, cognitive effort, and financial healthiness
Authors: Hansen Torben 
Published: October 2016

AbstractSubstantial research results suggest the global financial crisis has negatively affected consumers' trust in financial service providers. Notably, trust not only relates to consumer trust in individual companies but also relates to the broader business context in which consumers may plan and carry out their financial behavior. This latter form of trust can be referred to as “broad‐scope” trust (BST). BST is especially important in a society context because lack of BST may reduce financial market dynamism, competition, and productivity. Consequently, financial service providers assume an important social responsibility in order to develop BST. Unfortunately, not much is known about the interplay between BST and consumer financial behavior. Based on two surveys comprising 1155 bank consumers and 756 mutual fund investors, respectively, this study investigates the moderating influence of BST on relations between knowledge, cognitive effort, and financial healthiness and also examines the direct influence of BST on cognitive effort and financial healthiness. The results indicate that BST negatively moderates relations between knowledge and financial healthiness and between cognitive effort and financial healthiness. In addition, it is demonstrated that BST negatively influences cognitive effort and positively influences financial healthiness. Our results demonstrate the importance of developing BST as it may ease the burdens put on consumers' financial knowledge and processing capabilities, which in turn may facilitate their financial well‐being.

Published: October 2016

A series of 3‐(substituted aroyl)‐4‐(3,4,5‐trimethoxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrrole derivatives were synthesized and determined for their anticancer activity against eleven cancer cell lines and two normal tissue cell lines using MTT assay. Among the synthesized compounds, compound 3f was the most potent compound against A375, CT‐26, HeLa, MGC80‐3, NCI‐H460 and SGC‐7901 cells (IC50 = 8.2 – 31.7 μm); 3g, 3n and 3a were the most potent compounds against CHO (IC50 = 8.2 μm), HCT‐15 (IC50 = 21 μm) and MCF‐7 cells (IC50 = 18.7 μm), respectively. Importantly, all the target compounds showed no cytotoxicity towards the normal tissue cell (IC50 > 100 μm). Thus, these compounds with the potent anticancer activity and low toxicity have potential for the development of new anticancer chemotherapy agents.
Effectively uptake arsenate from water by mesoporous sulphated zirconia: Characterization, adsorption, desorption, and uptake mechanism

Published: October 2016

AbstractMesoporous sulphated zirconia (MSZ), prepared by a facile one‐step route, was characterized and served as arsenate adsorbent. The properties of MSZ were characterized by FTIR, N2 adsorption‐desorption isotherm, XRD, and TEM. It was found that SO42− was successfully incorporated into the obtained mesoporous material. Additionally, arsenate adsorption performance was executed by batch experiments. From the results, it was found that adsorption equilibrium data were fitted well to Langmuir‐Freundlich, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 99.23 mg/g at room temperature. The adsorption process obeyed pseudo‐second‐order under the investigated temperature, which indicated that “surface reaction” was the main rate‐limiting step. The uptake performance was not influenced by initial pH for pH in the region of 2.0–10.0. Based on the results of FTIR and the value of adsorption energy, it was demonstrated that ion‐exchange between arsenate species and sulphated groups was the dominant uptake mechanism. On this theory of uptake mechanism, 1.0 mol/L H2SO4 was successfully used to regenerate the spent MSZ. Arsenate removal percentage was still over 80 % after recycling the MSZ 3 times. These results indicated that MSZ possessed a potential application in treating arsenate‐contaminated water.
Superior Activity of Isomorphously Substituted MOFs with MIL‐100(M=Al, Cr, Fe, In, Sc, V) Structure in the Prins Reaction: Impact of Metal Type

Published: October 2016

AbstractThe catalytic behavior of isomorphously substituted MIL‐100(M) (M=Al, Cr, Fe, In, Sc, V) is investigated for the synthesis of nopol through the Prins condensation of β‐pinene with paraformaldehyde. The large mesoporous cages of the metal–organic frameworks provide a sustainable confinement for the formation of the target product (100 % selectivity for nopol over all materials studied). MIL‐100(Sc) and MIL‐100(V) exhibit the highest yields (up to 90 %) of nopol after just 20 min from the beginning of the reaction, owing to their high concentrations of accessible Lewis sites possessing intermediate acidity. The high catalytic activity (reaching almost 90 % β‐pinene conversion) even upon decreasing the amount of catalyst from 100 to 25 mg (0.025 and 0.0063 gcatalyst mmolsubstrate−1, respectively), the stability of its structure, and the possibility to use it several times, make MIL‐100(V) a promising material for applications in acid‐catalyzed reactions under mild reaction conditions.
Value Relevance of Stakeholder Engagement: The Influence of National Culture
Authors: Dal Maso Lorenzo , Liberatore Giovanni , Mazzi Francesco 
Published: October 2016

AbstractOur study investigates whether stakeholder engagement is associated with a firm's valuation and the value relevance of accounting earnings. Since prior literature posits that the economic consequences of such practices may depend on the specific environment in which they are adopted, we also explore whether these associations are affected by the cultural traits of the country in which a firm operates. Based on a worldwide sample of firms for the period 2002 to 2014, we document that stakeholder engagement positively influences market‐to‐book value of equity, without enhancing the value relevance of firm's accounting earnings. Drawing on Schwartz's cultural framework, we show that the results hold only in countries with a low (high) level of embeddedness and hierarchy (mastery). Our study contributes to the literature exploring the economic consequences of non‐financial information and the importance of institutional characteristics for economic outcomes.

Published: October 2016

AbstractPlant survivorship depends on biotic and abiotic factors that vary at local and regional scales. This survivorship, in turn, has cascading effects on community composition and the physical structure of vegetation. Survivorship of native plant species is variable among populations planted in environmentally stressful habitats like urban roofs, but the degree to which factors at different spatial scales affect survivorship in urban systems is not well understood. We evaluated the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on survivorship, composition, and physical structure of two native perennial species assemblages, one characterized by a mixture of C4grasses and forbs (Hempstead Plains,HP) and one characterized by a mixture of C3grasses and forbs (Rocky Summit,RS), that were initially sown at equal ratios of growth forms (5:1:4; grass, N‐fixing forb and non‐N‐fixing forb) in replicate 2‐m2plots planted on 10 roofs in New York City (New York,USA). Of 24 000 installed plants, 40% survived 23 months after planting. Within‐roof factors explained 71% of variation in survivorship, with biotic (species identity and assemblage) factors accounting for 54% of the overall variation, and abiotic (growing medium depth and plot location) factors explaining 17% of the variation. Among‐roof factors explained 29% of variation in survivorship and increased solar radiation correlated with decreased survivorship. While growing medium properties (pH, nutrients, metals) differed among roofs there was no correlation with survivorship. Percent cover and sward height increased with increasing survivorship. At low survivorship, cover of theHPassemblage was greater compared to theRSassemblage. Sward height of theHPassemblage was about two times greater compared to theRSassemblage. These results highlight the effects of local biotic and regional abiotic drivers on community composition and physical structure of green roof vegetation. As a result, initial green roof plant composition and roof microclimate may have long‐term effects on community dynamics, ecosystem function, and urban biodiversity.
Landscape‐scale GPP and carbon density inform patterns and impacts of an invasive tree across wet forests of Hawaii

Published: October 2016

AbstractPlant invasion typically occurs within a landscape‐scale framework of abiotic and biotic conditions, often resulting in emergent feedbacks among environment, ecosystem functions, and the dominance of invasive species. Understanding the mechanisms underlying successful invasions is an important component of conservation and management efforts, but this has been poorly investigated in a spatially explicit manner. Knowing where and why invasion patterns change throughout the landscape enables managers to use context‐specific controls on the spread of invasive species. Using high‐resolution airborne imaging spectroscopy, we studied plant performance in growth within and across landscapes to examine the dominance and spatial distribution of an invasive tree, Psidium cattleianum (strawberry guava), in heterogeneous environmental conditions of a submontane Hawaiian tropical forest. We assessed invader performance using the GPP ratio index, which is the relative difference in remotely sensed estimates of gross primary productivity between canopies of guava and canopies of the invaded plant community. In addition, we used airborne LiDAR data to evaluate the impacts of guava invasion on the forest aboveground carbon density in different environments. Structural equation modeling revealed that substrate type and elevation above sea level interact and amplify landscape‐scale differences in productivity between the invasive species and the host plant community (GPP ratio); differences that ultimately control levels of dominance of guava. We found shifts in patterns of forest carbon storage based on both gradual increase of invader dominance and changes in environmental conditions. Overall, our results demonstrate that the remotely sensed index defined as the GPP ratio provided an innovative spatially explicit approach to track and predict the success of invasive plants based in their canopy productivity, particularly within a landscape‐scale framework of varying environmental factors such as soils and elevation. This approach may help managers accurately predict where invaders of forests, scrublands, or grasslands are likely to exhibit high levels of dominance before the environment is fully invaded.
Drivers of redistribution of fishing and non‐fishing effort after the implementation of a marine protected area network

Published: October 2016

AbstractMarine spatial planning (MSP) is increasingly utilized to sustainably manage ocean uses. Marine protected areas (MPAs), a form of spatial management in which parts of the ocean are regulated to fishing, are now a common tool in MSP for conserving marine biodiversity and managing fisheries. However, the use of MPAs in MSP often neglects, or simplifies, the redistribution of fishing and non‐fishing activities inside and outside of MPAs following their implementation. This redistribution of effort can have important implications for effective MSP. Using long‐term (14 yr) aerial surveys of boats at the California Channel Islands, we examined the spatial redistribution of fishing and non‐fishing activities and their drivers following MPA establishment. Our data represent 6 yr of information before the implementation of an MPA network and 8 yr after implementation. Different types of boats responded in different ways to the closures, ranging from behaviors by commercial dive boats that support the hypothesis of fishing‐the‐line, to behaviors by urchin, sport fishing, and recreational boats that support the theory of ideal free distribution. Additionally, we found that boats engaged in recreational activities targeted areas that are sheltered from large waves and located near their home ports, while boats engaged in fishing activities also avoided high wave areas but were not constrained by the distance to their home ports. We did not observe the expected pattern of effort concentration near MPA borders for some boat types; this can be explained by the habitat preference of certain activities (for some activities, the desired habitat attributes are not inside the MPAs), species’ biology (species such as urchins where the MPA benefit would likely come from larval export rather than adult spillover), or policy‐infraction avoidance. The diversity of boat responses reveals variance from the usual simplified assumption that all extractive boats respond similarly to MPA establishment. Our work is the first empirical study to analyze the response of both commercial and recreational boats to closure. Our results will inform MSP in better accounting for effort redistribution by ocean users in response to the implementation of MPAs and other closures.
Natural quantitative genetic variance in plant growth differs in response to ecologically relevant temperature heterogeneity
Authors: Salmela Matti J. , Ewers Brent E. , Weinig Cynthia 
Published: October 2016

AbstractAdaptation to large‐scale spatial heterogeneity in the environment accounts for a major proportion of genetic diversity within species. Theory predicts the erosion of adaptive genetic variation on a within‐population level, but considerable genetic diversity is often found locally. Genetic diversity could be expected to be maintained within populations in temporally or spatially variable conditions if genotypic rank orders vary across contrasting microenvironmental settings. Taking advantage of fine‐resolution environmental data, we tested the hypothesis that temperature heterogeneity among years could be one factor maintaining quantitative genetic diversity within a natural and genetically diverse plant population. We sampled maternal families of Boechera stricta, an Arabidopsis thaliana relative, at one location in the central Rocky Mountains and grew them in three treatments that, based on records from an adjacent weather station, simulated hourly temperature changes at the native site during three summers with differing mean temperatures. Treatment had a significant effect on all traits, with 2–3‐fold increase in above‐ and belowground biomass and the highest allocation to roots observed in the treatment simulating the warmest summer on record at the site. Treatment affected bivariate associations between traits, with the weakest correlation between above‐ and belowground biomass in the warmest treatment. The magnitude of quantitative genetic variation for all traits differed across treatments: Genetic variance of biomass was 0 in the warmest treatment, while highly significant diversity was found in average conditions, resulting in broad‐sense heritability of 0.31. Significant genotype × environment interactions across all treatments were found only in root‐to‐shoot ratio. Therefore, temperature variation among summers appears unlikely to account for the observed levels of local genetic variation in size in this perennial species, but may influence family rank order in growth allocation. Our results indicate that natural environmental fluctuations can have a large impact on the magnitude of within‐population quantitative genetic variance.
Climate change increases the production of female hatchlings at a northern sea turtle rookery
Authors: Reneker J. L. , Kamel S. J. 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThe most recent climate change projections show a global increase in temperatures, along with major adjustments to precipitation, throughout the 21st century. Species exhibiting temperature‐dependent sex determination are highly susceptible to such changes since the incubation environment influences critical offspring characteristics such as survival and sex ratio. Here we show that the mean incubation duration of loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) nests from a high‐density nesting beach on Bald Head Island, North Carolina, USA has decreased significantly over the past 25 yr. This decrease in incubation duration is significantly positively correlated with mean air temperature and negatively correlated with mean precipitation during the nesting season. Additionally, although no change in hatching success was detected during this same period, a potentially detrimental consequence of shorter incubation durations is that they lead to the production of primarily female offspring. Given that global temperatures are predicted to increase by as much as 4°C over the next century, the mass feminization of sea turtle hatchlings is a high‐priority concern. While presently limited in number, studies using long‐term data sets to examine the temporal correlation between offspring characteristics and climatic trends are essential for understanding the scope and direction of climate change effects on species persistence.
Predicting gravel bed river response to environmental change: the strengths and limitations of a regime‐based approach
Authors: Eaton Brett , Millar Robert 
Published: October 2016

AbstractRivers respond to environmental changes such as climate shifts, land use changes and the construction of hydro‐power dams in a variety of ways. Often there are multiple potential responses to any given change. Traditionally, potential stream channel response has been assessed using simple, qualitative frameworks based largely on professional judgement and field experience, or using some form of regime theory. Regime theory represents an attempt to use a physically based approach to predict the configuration of stable channels that can transport the imposed sediment supply with the available discharge. We review the development of regime theory, and then present a specific regime model that we have created as a stand‐alone computer program, called the UBC Regime Model (UBCRM). UBCRM differs from other regime models in that it constrains its predictions using a bank stability criterion, as well as a pattern stability criterion; it predicts both the stable channel cross‐sectional dimensions as well as the number of anabranches that the stream must have in order to establish a stable channel pattern. UBCRM also differs from other models in that it can be used in a stochastic modelling mode that translates uncertainty in the input variables into uncertainty in the predicted channel characteristics. However, since regime models are fundamentally based on the concept of grade, there are circumstances in which the model does not perform well. We explore the strengths and weaknesses of the UBCRM in this paper, and we attempt to illustrate how the UBCRM can be used to augment the existing qualitative frameworks, and to help guide professionals in their assessments.

Projection‐based variational multiscale method for incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in time‐dependent domains
Authors: Pal Birupaksha , Ganesan Sashikumaar 
Published: October 2016

SummaryA variational multiscale method for computations of incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in time‐dependent domains is presented. The proposed scheme is a three‐scale variational multiscale method with a projection‐based scale separation that uses an additional tensor valued space for the large scales. The resolved large and small scales are computed in a coupled way with the effects of unresolved scales confined to the resolved small scales. In particular, the Smagorinsky eddy viscosity model is used to model the effects of unresolved scales. The deforming domain is handled by the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian approach and by using an elastic mesh update technique with a mesh‐dependent stiffness. Further, the choice of orthogonal finite element basis function for the resolved large scale leads to a computationally efficient scheme. Simulations of flow around a static beam attached to a square base, around an oscillating beam and around a plunging aerofoil are presented. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Heat penetration attributes of milkfish (Chanos chanos) thermal processed in flexible pouches: a comparative study between steam application and water immersion

Published: October 2016

AbstractThe difference in the heating penetration characteristics of product processed in retort by steam–air application and water immersion was studied. Fresh milkfish (Chanos chanos) packed in dry pack and in oil medium, both in flexible pouches, was thermal processed to minimum F0 value of 7.77 at 121.1°C. Heat penetration values were recorded for each minute of processing with the aid Ellab (TM 9608, Denmark) temperature recorder. Retort come up time to achieve 121.1°C was observed to be less in steam–air which invariably led to a lower Ball's process time (B) and the total process time (T) observed in steam–air as compared to water immersion. Obtained data were plotted on a semi‐logarithmic paper with temperature deficit on x‐axis against time on the y‐axis.
