Wireless Sensor Node Localization based on LNSM and Hybrid TLBO- Unilateral technique for Outdoor Location
Authors: Kaundal Vivek , Sharma Paawan , Prateek Manish 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The paper aims at localization of the anchor node (fixed node) by pursuit nodes (movable node) in outdoor location. Two methods are studied for node localization. The first method is based on LNSM (Log Normal Shadowing Model) technique to localize the anchor node and the second method is based on Hybrid TLBO (Teacher Learning Based Optimization Algorithm)- Unilateral technique. In the first approach the ZigBee protocol has been used to localize the node, which uses RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) values in dBm. LNSM technique is implemented in the self-designed hardware node and localization is studied for Outdoor location. The statistical analysis using RMSE (root mean square error) for outdoor location is done and distance error found to be 35 mtrs. The same outdoor location has been used and statistical analysis is done for localization of nodes using Hybrid TLBO-Unilateral technique. The Hybrid- TLBO Unilateral technique significantly localizes anchor node with distance error of 0.7 mtrs. The RSSI values obtained are normally distributed and standard deviation in RSSI value is observed as 1.01 for outdoor location. The node becomes 100% discoverable after using hybrid TLBO- Unilateral technique.
An Energy-Efficient Proactive Routing Scheme for MANET: Game Theoretical Approach of Forwarding with Selfish Nodes
Authors: Sahnoun Abdelkabir , Habbani Ahmed , Abbadi Jamal El 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In Mobile Ad-hoc Networks, nodes exchange packets with each other using intermediate nodes as relays. Since nodes in MANETs are battery powered, energy conservation is a crucial issue. Accepting relay all request may not be in the best interest of a node. But if many nodes prefer not to consume energy in relaying packets on behalf of others, the overall performance of routing in network will be influenced. In this paper we address the energy-efficient routing problem in MANETs with selfish nodes. We modeled this problem as a game-theoretic constraint optimization; we defined the utility of each node as a weighted difference between a performance metric and some transmission costs. A motivate mechanism is proposed in order to induce nodes to forwarding cooperation. Each node independently implements the optimal equilibrium strategy under the given constraints. Simulation results by NS3 simulator show that our proposed approach can improve system performance in network lifetime and packet delivery ratio.
The Eventfulness of Non-Events in Modernist Poetry: T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land and Bertolt Brecht’s “Vom armen B. B.”
Authors: Hühn Peter 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Although lyric poetry is not a narrative genre in the strict sense, poems do employ narrative elements extensively. Due to the temporal condition of human existence, the temporality of living, acting and communicating, the sequence of the utterance in poems follows a temporal organization, consisting of changes of state. The lyric text can thus be conceived of as the hybrid interaction of narrative and poetic structures. Genre-specifically, narrative elements in poems tend to occur in covert or condensed forms, typically in the mental sphere. Since a narrative in order to be “tellable” requires a decisive, “eventful” turn, poems, too, tend to feature some kind of event, which constitutes their central “point”: some surprising shift in their sequential structure. Although the normal case of an event is a decisive change of state, there are also interesting examples where the non-occurrence of an (expected) event counts as eventful constituting the tellability of the story. That applies not only to narratives in fiction and drama (such as Beckett’s Waiting for Godot) but also to lyric poetry. ‒ After expounding the transgeneric application of concepts of narrativity and eventfulness to lyric poetry this article analyzes in detail two eminent modernist poems as significant cases where the non-occurrence of an eventful change constitutes an event in its own right (and thereby the point of the text): T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land and Bertolt Brecht’s “Vom armen B. B.” (“Of poor B.B.”). The two poems are shown to differ significantly with respect to meaning and function of eventful uneventfulness: The absence of decisive changes is presented in The Waste Land as a deplorable failure of traditional values and forms of vital regeneration but in “Of poor B. B.” as a provocative rejection of conventional concepts and expectations.
How People Are Treated During Worship: Problems of an Implicit Liturgical Anthropology
Authors: Engemann Wilfried 
Published: November 2017

AbstractAnthropological premises of pastors significantly influence people’s experiences in worship services. Pastors’ perceptions of people’s basic situation, their understanding of people in relation to freedom, love and self-love, sin and repentance, influence the liturgy and the sermon. The implicit anthropology of many services relates to the way they rebuke those present for being human and specifically declare everything that constitutes living as human beings to be a problem. That makes the process of communicating the Gospel appear unconvincing. What matters is to reformulate Christian anthropology in a coherent and contemporary form by communicating with other sciences which raise the question of being human in relation to freedom, dignity and love.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
This article is focused on the analysis of the use of distributed fibre-optic technology for security monitoring of road tunnel and motorway tunnel structural load. The authors focused on the measurements of deformation utilizing Brillouin Time Domain Reflectometry (BOTDR). The principle is based on the measurement of stimulated Brillouin scattering. The article describes and analyses real measurements within a period of 5 months, which were carried out during the tunnelling and the whole process of building a new tunnel in Žilina, Slovakia. The performed experimental measurements were carried out using a standard optic telecommunication cable with water-absorbing aramid yarns and a jacket with a diameter of 4.2 mm. The contribution of this article lies in the introductory analysis of the implementation and use of the fibre-optic technology for security monitoring of road tunnel and motorway tunnel structural load.
Iron Metallurgy Slags as a Potential Source of Critical Elements - Nb, Ta and REE
Authors: Kasina Monika , Michalik Marek 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The recovery of valuable metals from metallurgical slag disposals is a promising option to protect natural resources, limited due to technology development and increased consumption. The Ad-hoc Working Group on Defining Critical Raw Materials within the Raw Materials Supply Group has proposed a list of critical elements which have the greatest economic importance and meet the requirements of sustainable development in Europe. The goal of this study was to examine steelmaking- and blast-furnace slags from metallurgical processes to determine concentrations of elements of the greatest criticality for Poland, e.g. Nb, Ta and REE, and to discuss the viability of their recovery. Slag analyses indicate enrichment of REE relative to UCC, NASC and average chondrite compositions in blast-furnace slags and Nb and Ta in steelmaking slags. To make recovery of these critical elements reasonable and profitable, it is recommended that they be recovered together with other useful raw materials.
Crystalline phase evolution in nanostructured copper sulfide thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis method: the effect of annealing
Authors: Nazari Roshanak Rafiei , Taloobaghi Hoda Enayati , Eshghi Hosein 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In this study, physical properties of copper sulfide thin films deposited on glass substrates by spray pyrolysis method at different temperatures (260 °C, 285 °C and 310 °C) were investigated. The influence of annealing time on the physical properties of grown layers was also studied. According to FESEM images, the sizes of the compact copper sulfide grains were varied from about 100 nm to 60 nm. Hall effect and resistivity measurements confirmed that all samples had p-type conductivity. The XRD patterns showed that, together with the dominant digenite phase (Cu1.8S) in all samples, the copper-rich phases also appeared as a result of increasing substrate temperature. The optical UV-Vis spectra analysis showed that due to increasing the substrate temperature, the band gap of the layers was reduced from about 2.4 eV to 2.0 eV. We found that as a result of annealing at 400 °C for 1.5 h in Ar atmosphere, the sample which was initially grown at 310 °C with the highest copper content, totally transformed into the polycrystalline monoclinic chalcocite phase (Cu2S) with 3D nanoporous architecture.

Holm Tetens on the Moral Argument for Theism: A Kantian Perspective
Authors: Mocker Christoph Kurt 
Published: November 2017

SummaryThis paper presents a reconstruction and discussion of Holm Tetens’ new moral argument for theistic belief. The argument is a pragmatic one in that it intends to show that believing in God is rational because it has some morally desirable consequences. It asserts that the suffering of countless victims of evil in this world causes in atheists who try to be moral some morally questionable states of mind. By contrast, theists who have certain beliefs about the afterlife, judgment, and reconciliation are not subject to these bad states of mind. Therefore, Tetens argues, theistic belief is more rational than disbelief.
Justice and Freedom: The Continuing Promise of the Reformation
Authors: Schwöbel Christoph 
Published: November 2017

SummaryAgainst the backdrop of the debates on the appropriate understanding of the Reformation in the context of the 500 year anniversary of the Reformation the attempt is made to elaborate the continuing promise of the Reformation with regard to the understanding of justice and freedom. The view of justice as a creative gift and the understanding of freedom as promise presuppose that the character of the Reformation can be understood as the reconfiguration of the traditional theological authorities. The understanding of reality as rooted in the creative justice of God who alone is free because God is his own future is applied in the Lutheran art of making distinctions which relate God’s creative being and action to the created being and action of humans. The continuing promise of the Reformation is the discovery of this unconditional promise and of the way it is witnessed in the Church. As the creature of God’s justifying word the life of the church has the character of an embodied promise.
Analytical techniques and methods for study of drug-lipid membrane interactions
Authors: Li Hewen , Zhao Tao , Sun Zhihua 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
A better elucidation of molecular mechanisms underlying drug-membrane interaction is of great importance for drug research and development. To date, different biochemical and biophysical methods have been developed to study biological membranes at molecular level. This review focuses on the recent applications and achievements of modern analytical techniques in the study of drug interactions with lipid membranes, including chromatography, spectrometry, calorimetry, and acoustic sensing. The merits and limitations of these techniques were compared and critically discussed. Moreover, various types of biomimetic model membranes including liposomes, lipid monolayers, and supported lipid monolayers/bilayers were described. General mechanisms underlying drug-membrane interaction process were also briefly introduced.
Polish Romanticism and the Discourses of Madness and the Mental Asylum
Authors: Kutrzeba Kacper 
Published: November 2017

Summary
This article deals with the problem of representation of psychiatric discourse and the mental asylum in the literature of Polish Romanticism. I am interested in both sides of the argument, i.e. the attempts to legitimize confinement in psychiatric institutions as well as the reasoning of the critics of that policy. My analyses, which draw on texts ranging from literary classics like Juliusz Słowacki’s Kordian to popular fiction (e.g. Ludwik Sztyrmer’s psychological thriller Phrenophagos and Phrenolestes and Józef Ignacy Kraszewski’s short story Bedlam), suggest that the psychiatric discourse in 19th-century literature employed three basic strategies of representation, i.e. legitimation, subversion and functionalization. If a fresh interest in institutionalized psychiatry was one of the key characteristics of the rise of modern society, the literature of Polish Romanticism was certainly part of it, even if its approach was dominated by ideas and attitudes that were hardly novel.
Mythological Motifs in Kisses by Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska
Authors: Jęcz Jadwiga 
Published: November 2017

Summary
Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska’s interest in the ancient world should come as no surprise. While a fascination with imaginary creatures was part and parcel of the Art Nouveau (Secesja) aesthetic, no less important was her association with the Skamandrites, a group of poets some of whom acknowledged neoclassicism as an important source of inspiration. The article examines the mythological motifs in Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska’s Pocałunki (Kisses), a volume of poems published in 1926, in particular her reinterpretation of the Narcissus story (in ‘Narcyz’) and a string of mythological images used as a decorative encrustation (e.g. in ‘Syreny’).
Jerzy Giedroyc and Marian Pankowski’s Letters about the Novel Matuga: A Note on Pankowski’s Relationship with the Paris Kultura Magazine
Authors: Burnatowski Jan 
Published: November 2017

Summary
The aim of this article, an appendix to a selection of letters between Jerzy Giedroyc and Marian Pankowski, is to verify some of the myths accompanying the biography of the latter. Having researched the relevant materials in the archives of the Instytut Literacki in Paris and in the National Library in Warsaw the author of the article came to the conclusion that the reasons of Pankowski’s break with Kultura, the leading émigré political and cultural magazine, at the end of the 1950s had to with his art rather than his political views. This research project, in conjunction with the already published correspondence of Jerzy Giedroyc with the notable representatives of the post-war emigration, has brought to light hitherto little known documents that reveal the impact of non-political factors on the creation of the Polish modern literary canon. The material collected in the course of this study offers fresh insights into 20th-century Polish culture and can also be of use for further research into the influence of European culture on Polish writers.

Bonding Durability of Two Repair Mortars with Low Modulus Cement and Asphalt Mortar (CA Mortar)
Authors: Yunpeng Liu , Fazhou Wang , Shuguang Hu , Muyu Liu 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
This paper presents the results of a study investigating the bonding performance of two type repair materials, resin mortar (RM) and sulphoaluminate cement-asphalt emulsion mortar (SACR), with substrate cement and asphalt mortar (CA mortar) when repair systems are subjected to freezing-thawing cycles and thermal shock. Double-ring shear tests and three-point bending tests were employed to evaluate the bonding durability for the two repair systems, respectively. Two parameters named “bonding before freezing-thawing” and “bonding after freezing-thawing” were employed to better investigate the bonding durability when repair systems were subjected to freezing-thawing cycles. The results indicate that the thermal expansion coefficient difference between RM and substrate CA mortar is the main cause of their bonding failure. The bonding failure between SACR and substrate CA mortar in the freezing-thawing tests could be related to the decrease in substrate mortar and repair mortar strength. Besides, their bonding showed more stable performance in the thermal shock experiment due to their similar thermal expansion properties.

Published: November 2017

ObjectiveFamilial multinodular goiter (MNG), with or without ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (SLCT), has been linked to DICER1 syndrome. We aimed to search for the presence of a germlineDICER1mutation in a large family with a remarkable history of MNG and SLCT, and to further explore the relevance of the identified mutation.Design and methodsSanger sequencing, Fluidigm Access Array and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) techniques were used to screen forDICER1mutations in germline DNA from 16 family members. Where available, tumor DNA was also studied. mRNA and protein extracted from carriers’ lymphocytes were used to characterize the expression of the mutant DICER1.ResultsNine of 16 tested individuals carried a germline, in-frameDICER1deletion (c.4207-41_5364+1034del), which resulted in the loss of exons 23 and 24 from the cDNA. The mutant transcript does not undergo nonsense-mediated decay and the protein is devoid of specific metal ion-binding amino acids (p.E1705 and p.D1709) in the RNase IIIb domain. In addition, characteristic somatic ‘second hit’ mutations in this region were found on the other allele in tumors.ConclusionsPatients with DICER1 syndrome usually present a combination of a typically truncating germlineDICER1mutation and a tumor-specific hotspot missense mutation within the sequence encoding the RNase IIIb domain. The in-frame deletion found in this family suggests that the germline absence of p.E1705 and p.D1709, which are crucial for RNase IIIb activity, may be enough to permit DICER1 syndrome to occur.
A Common Pathway of Root Growth Control and Response to CLE Peptides Through Two Receptor Kinases inArabidopsis

Published: November 2017

AbstractRacolta et al. show two different impacts of CLE peptide treatment of Arabidopsis roots. In all genotypes tested, they find increased proliferative....Cell–cell communication is essential for plants to integrate developmental programs with external cues that affect their growth. Recent advances in plant signaling have uncovered similar molecular mechanisms in shoot, root, and vascular meristem signaling that involve receptor-like kinases and small, secreted peptides. Here, we report that the receptor-like kinases TOAD2/RPK2 and RPK1 regulate root growth by controlling cell proliferation and affecting meristem size. Two types of developmental alterations were observed upon exogenous CLE peptide application. The first type was detected in all plants treated, and comprise increased proliferative activity of cells in the stem cell niche and a delay of progression in differentiation of daughter cells. The second type was changes specific to the genotypes that are sensitive to CLE-driven root meristem inhibition and include a large decrease in the occurrence of cell divisions in longitudinal files, correlating with shorter meristems and cessation of root growth. The root meristems of toad2/rpk2 mutant plants are insensitive to the inhibitory effect of CLE17 peptide treatment, consistent with TOAD2/RPK2 function as a receptor for CLE peptides. In addition, a strong reduction in the expression of RPK1 protein upon CLE treatment, dependent on TOAD2/RPK2, suggests that these two RLKs mediate CLE signaling in a common pathway to control root growth.

Abstract
Ecdysteroids are steroid hormones that control many aspects of development and physiology. During larval development, ecdysone is synthesized in an endocrine organ called the prothoracic gland through a series of ecdysteroidogenic enzymes encoded by the Halloween genes. The expression of the Halloween genes is highly restricted and dynamic, indicating that their spatiotemporal regulation is mediated by their tight transcriptional control. In this study, we report that three zinc finger-associated domain (ZAD)-C2H2 zinc finger transcription factors—Séance (Séan), Ouija board (Ouib), and Molting defective (Mld)—cooperatively control ecdysone biosynthesis in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Séan and Ouib act in cooperation with Mld to positively regulate the transcription of neverland and spookier, respectively, two Halloween genes. Remarkably, loss-of-function mutations in séan, ouib, or mld can be rescued by the expression of neverland, spookier, or both, respectively. These results suggest that the three transcription factors have distinct roles in coordinating the expression of just two genes in Drosophila. Given that neverland and spookier are located in constitutive heterochromatin, Séan, Ouib, and Mld represent the first example of a transcription factor subset that regulates genes located in constitutive heterochromatin.

Published: November 2017

ZusammenfassungIn der tierärztlichen Praxis spielen Parasitosen und deren Bekämpfung nach wie vor eine wesentliche Rolle. Die vergangenen Jahre haben Veränderungen der Rahmenbedingungen mit sich gebracht, unter denen sich auch Parasitosen entwickeln und verbreiten können. Hier sind vor allem die fortschreitende Globalisierung mit weltweit zunehmendem Tier- und Warenverkehr sowie die längerfristig wirkenden klimatischen Veränderungen zu nennen. An je zwei Beispielen aus der Protozoologie, der Helminthologie und der Entomologie wird der aktuelle Kenntnisstand dargestellt, wobei neu auftretende und wiederkehrende, ebenso wie längst bekannte, aber wenig beachtete Parasitosen Berück sichtigung finden.
