Effective Laboratory Method of Chromite Content Estimation in Reclaimed Sands
Authors: Ignaszak Z. , Prunier J-B. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
The paper presents an original method of measuring the actual chromite content in the circulating moulding sand of foundry. This type of material is applied for production of moulds. This is the case of foundry which most frequently perform heavy casting in which for the construction of chemical hardening mould is used, both the quartz sand and chromite sand. After the dry reclamation of used moulding sand, both types of sands are mixed in various ratios resulting that in reclaimed sand silos, the layers of varying content of chromite in mixture are observed. For chromite recuperation from the circulating moulding sand there are applied the appropriate installations equipped with separate elements generating locally strong magnetic field. The knowledge of the current ratio of chromite and quartz sand allows to optimize the settings of installation and control of the separation efficiency. The arduous and time-consuming method of determining the content of chromite using bromoform liquid requires operational powers and precautions during using this toxic liquid. It was developed and tested the new, uncomplicated gravimetric laboratory method using powerful permanent magnets (neodymium). The method is used in the production conditions of casting for current inspection of chromite quantity in used sand in reclamation plant.
Prospects of Coir Fibre as Reinforcement in Termite Mound Clay Bricks
Authors: Akinyemi Banjo A. , Omoniyi Temidayo. E. , Adeyemo Micheal O. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
The study is to develop an appropriate environmental friendly building material that would be sourced, obtained locally and used for construction of structures at a low cost by using termite mound soil, reinforced with 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%. and 4% coir fibres. Physical and mechanical tests were conducted on the different composition samples after curing. The particle size distribution showed that clay had the largest percentage with a moisture content of 3.53%, specific gravity of 2.0, liquid limit of 30.5% and plastic limit value of 25.4. The compressive strength test showed a decrease with increase in fibre content from 1% upward, modulus of rupture test showed that increase in fibre content leads to a corresponding increase in rupture while the modulus of elasticity test showed that from 3% to 4% fibre content, a decrease in the elasticity occurred. It can be concluded that low fibre inclusion into compressed termite mound brick is feasible if fibre content do not exceed 2% and thus can be used for both load and non-loading bearing structures.
The Impression of Reality and the Awareness of the Medium in Alexander Sokurov’s Family Trilogy
Authors: Bugaj Malgorzata 
Published: September 2016

AbstractDrawing on Brigitte Peucker’s question – “in cinematic experience, what promotes the impression of reality, and when does medium awareness come into play?” – I examine how Sokurov’s family trilogy constitutes a certain oscillation between the immediate and the constructed. The films under discussion connect with the sensual, physical-biological and socio-political reality, while, simultaneously, they emphasize the artificial and stylised.Mother and Sonemploys distancing painterly images which deemphasise the figures of the characters while it finishes with the extreme close-up exploring the skin as a raw material used to construct image with its varied colours and textures.Father and Son,on the other hand, enters the dialogue with medicine; through the employment of haptic images and medical appropriations, the film focuses on the sensual along with the biological dimension of the body. Set within a clear socio-political context,Alexandraexplores the senses which are not readily available in cinema, that is touch and smell, and thus emphasises the trace of the physical presence on screen. This paper demonstrates how Sokurov’s family trilogy situates itself on the intersection of the Bolter and Grusin’s “desire for immediacy” with the mediated and remediated.
Pictorial Real, Historical Intermedial. Digital Aesthetics and the Representation of History in Eric Rohmer’sThe Lady and the Duke
Authors: Tagliani Giacomo 
Published: September 2016

AbstractInThe Lady and the Duke(2001), Eric Rohmer provides an unusual and “conservative” account of the French Revolution by recurring to classical and yet “revolutionary” means. The interpolation between painting and film produces a visual surface which pursues a paradoxical effect of immediacy and verisimilitude. At the same time though, it underscores the represented nature of the images in a complex dynamic of “reality effect” and critical meta-discourse. The aim of this paper is the analysis of the main discursive strategies deployed by the film to disclose an intermedial effectiveness in the light of its original digital aesthetics. Furthermore, it focuses on the problematic relationship between image and reality, deliberately addressed by Rohmer through the dichotomy simulation/illusion. Finally, drawing on the works of Louis Marin, it deals with the representation of history and the related ideology, in order to point out the film’s paradoxical nature, caught in an undecidability between past and present.
Art and Reality inThe Arbor(2010)
Authors: Mello Cecília 
Published: September 2016

AbstractThis article offers an in-depth analysis of 2010 British filmThe Arborby Clio Barnard. The director’s debut feature is a groundbreaking work dedicated to the lives of playwright Andrea Dunbar and her eldest daughter Lorraine. Dunbar grew up in the Buttershaw Estate in Bradford and drew on her own experiences to write her first playThe Arborat the age of 15, followed byRita, Sue and Bob Too!. She struggled with alcoholism and died of a brain haemorrhage in 1990, at the age of 29. Lorraine’s life followed down a difficult path as she became a drug addict and was jailed for manslaughter for causing the death of her two-year old child by gross neglect. My aim is to explore how the film combines different media, namely theatre, television and radio, in a cinematic experience defined by multiple registers and multiple voices, and how this structure works towards creating as much as conserving individual and collective memories, highlighting the fictional nature of memories. This leads to a reflection on the lip-synching technique, employed as the main vehicle for memory in the film, which provokes as much empathy and compassion as it does critical thinking, thus turning Brecht’s binary equation reason-emotion in its head.1
Indexicality or Technological Intermediate? Moving Image Representation, Materiality, and the Real
Authors: Verdon James 
Published: September 2016

AbstractDrawing on the application of C. S. Peirce’s notion of indexicality, this paper argues that iterative imaging technologies modulate the manner in which moving images represent reality and determine how they are traced back to that referent. Rather than subscribing to the canonical divergence between analogue and digital technologies, the paper argues that current moving image theories do not sufficiently acknowledge the granularity of technology when describing indexical relationships between moving images and the reality they represent. Despite a shared use of analogue technologies, film’s technique of fixing a full frame of movement to a momentarily static strip of light-sensitive celluloid or Mylar is profoundly different from analogue video’s parsing of the image frame to its constituent parts and then recording this signal to continuously moving tape or broadcasting the resulting images. These are particularities of technique and technology, not easily ranked in terms of verisimilitude. The paper concludes that despite a widely accepted indexical analogue/digital divide, the indexical status of analogue video is no different to that of digital video images because both consist of discrete and non-continuous picture elements.
Hyperbolic harmonic functions and the associated integral equations
Authors: Das Namita , Lal Rajendra Prasad 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
In this paper we consider a class of integral equations associated with the invariant mean value property of hyperbolic harmonic functions. We have shown that nonconstant solutions of these integral equations are functions of unbounded variations and do not attain their supremum or infimum on [0; 1): We present an algorithm to obtain numerical solutions of these integral equations. We also consider the equivalent ordinary differential equations and used MATLAB to obtain numerical solutions of these differential equations.

Authors: Mandal Krishanu , De Uday Chand 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
In this paper, we consider a quarter-symmetric metric connection in a P-Sasakian manifold. We investigate the curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor of a P-Sasakian manifold with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection. We consider semisymmetric P-Sasakian manifold with respect to the quarter- symmetric metric connection. Furthermore, we consider generalized recurrent P-Sasakian manifolds and prove the non-existence of recurrent and pseudosymmetric P-Sasakian manifolds with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection. Finally, we construct an example of a 5-dimensional P-Sasakian manifold admitting quarter-symmetric metric connection which verifies Theorem 4.1.

Extended Local Analysis of Inexact Gauss-Newton-like Method for Least Square Problems using Restricted Convergence Domains
Authors: Argyros Ioannis K. , George Santhosh 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
We present a local convergence analysis of inexact Gauss-Newton-like method (IGNLM) for solving nonlinear least-squares problems in a Euclidean space setting. The convergence analysis is based on our new idea of restricted convergence domains. Using this idea, we obtain a more precise information on the location of the iterates than in earlier studies leading to smaller majorizing functions. This way, our approach has the following advantages and under the same computational cost as in earlier studies: A large radius of convergence and more precise estimates on the distances involved to obtain a desired error tolerance. That is, we have a larger choice of initial points and fewer iterations are also needed to achieve the error tolerance. Special cases and numerical examples are also presented to show these advantages.

Experimental studies and finite element simulation of ultrasonic welding of Cu alloy
Authors: Mohan Raj N. , Kumaraswamidhas L.A. , Arungalai Vendan S. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
This research study aims to investigate the mechanical and metallographical aspects of ultrasonic welding of Cu-Cu wires. Experimental trials have been conducted and observations have been recorded as a database that collates parametric, quality and strength aspects of various weldments. Destructive testing and metallurgical characterizations have been carried out to examine the strength and integrity of the weldment. The key focus of this research attempt is laid on determining and evaluating the factors that governs the strength of the weldment. Metallurgical characterizations reveal vital information on the weld integrity and the extent of grain distribution. Further, FEM is employed to understand the deformation and thermal aspects involved in Cu-Cu welding using ultrasonics. The numerical model may provide an insight into the thermal phenomenon governing the joining process and subsequently estimation of the impact. Response surface methodology is employed to identify the parametric interdependencies and subsequently determine the optimized range.
Modelling of transient heat transport in metal films using the interval lattice Boltzmann method
Authors: Piasecka Belkhayat A. , Korczak A. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
In the paper a description of heat transfer in one-dimensional crystalline solids is presented. The lattice Boltzmann method based on Boltzmann transport equation is used to simulate the nanoscale heat transport in thin metal films. The coupled lattice Boltzmann equations for electrons and phonons are applied to analyze the heating process of thin metal films via laser pulse. Such approach in which the parameters appearing in the problem analyzed are treated as constant values is widely used, but in the paper the interval values of relaxation times and electron-phonon coupling factor are taken into account. The problem formulated has been solved by means of the interval lattice Boltzmann method using the rules of directed interval arithmetic. In the final part of the paper the results of numerical computations are shown.
The Finance Growth Link: Comparative Analysis Of Two Eastern African Countries
Authors: Fanta Ashenafi Beyene , Makina Daniel 
Published: September 2016

This paper examines the finance growth link of two low-income Sub-Saharan African economies – Ethiopia and Kenya – which have different financial systems but are located in the same region. Unlike previous studies, we account for the role of non-bank financial intermediaries and formally model the effect of structural breaks caused by policy and market-induced economic events. We used the Vector Autoregressive model (VAR), conducted impulse response analysis and examined variance decomposition. We find that neither the level of financial intermediary development nor the level of stock market development explains economic growth in Kenya. For Ethiopia, which has no stock market, intermediary development is found to be driven by economic growth. Three important inferences can be made from these findings. First, the often reported positive link between finance and growth might be caused by the aggregation of countries at different stages of economic growth and financial development. Second, country-specific economic situations and episodes are important in studying the relationship between financial development and economic growth. Third, there is the possibility that the econometric model employed to test the finance growth link plays a role in the empirical result, as we note that prior studies did not introduce control variables.
The Increased Content of Micronutrients in Celery, Carrot, Parsnip and Parsley Plants after Treatment with Sodium Naphthenate

Published: September 2016

Summary
Young plants of celery, parsley, parsnip and carrot, grown in nutrient solution, were treated with sodium naphthenate (10−7 mol dm−3), applying foliar and root treatments. Both treatments affected the root content of all investigated elements present in the nutrient solution, but in a different way, depending on the plant species. An average change (increase/decrease) in the contents of investigated essential elements was about 35%. Our experiments with naphthenate showed that this treatment may enhance the efficiency of essential elements uptake and increase its content in plants without changing concentration of these elements in the nutrient solution. Especially interesting results were obtained in the case of carrot, as increased contents were observed in the elements that are usually deficient in nutrition (Fe, Zn, Mn), whereas the other remained unchanged.

Authors: Takač Adam , Popović Vukašin , Červenski Janko , Glogovac Svetlana , Medić-Pap Slađana 
Published: September 2016

Summary
Dunavski rubin is a medium early indeterminate cultivar with large fruits and average fruit weight of 180 g. It was developed by crossing cultivars Korona and Saint Pierre. Hybrid material was grown by using the pedigree method. Phenotypically uniform line V9 was selected and submitted to the Varietal Release Committee of the Republic of Serbia. Cultivar was released in 2014 by the Decision of Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management of the Republic of Serbia under no. 320-04-1871/2/2013-11. Dunavski rubin represents successful combination of genes responsible for high fertility rate and fruit quality. Fruits of Dunavski rubin cultivar have high percentage of dry matter (6.30%), high level of lycopene (106.7 mg/100 g), and excellent total acidity (0.39%). Vitamin C content is 52.7 mg/100 g, while total sugars amount to 5.71%. High K content (1520 mg/kg) and low Na content (79.8 mg/kg) is what distinguishes this cultivar from the others. Comparing with other cultivars trough three year field experiments, it was concluded that Dunavski rubin is a cultivar intended for fresh consumption due to a long fruit-bearing period, but is also an excellent raw material for processing due to its high quality fruit. All of the above mentioned classifies Dunavski rubin as an enhancer in technological processing of tomato.

Published: September 2016

AbstractCollections of benthic organisms were obtained during previous Soviet research cruises in the Mediterranean Sea, 1974–1980. Material was collected by bottom grabs or trawls from the depths of 20-500m. Collecting stations were allocated in the Aegean, Adriatic, Tyrrhenian, Balearic, Alboran, and Ionian Seas, and between Sicily and Tunisia. Among decapod crustaceans collected, 8 species of portunid crabs were present, i.e.,Liocarcinus. corrugatus(Pennant, 1777),L. depurator(Linnaeus, 1758),L. maculatus(Risso, 1827),L. navigator(Herbst, 1794),L. vernalis(Pennant, 1816),L. zariquieyiGordon, 1968,Macropipus tuberculatus(Roux, 1830), andBathynectes longipes(Risso, 1816). For two species,L. maculatusandL. zariquieyi, new distributional records are presented here. An extension of the known depth range is reported here forL. maculatusandL. vernalis.

Authors: Stebel Adam , Błońska Agnieszka 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
The paper presents information about habitat conditions of occurrence of the Ptychoverpa bohemica (Krombh.) Boud. fungus in man-made habitats in Silesian Upland in southern Poland. Soil samples were collected from 5 sites in order to measure the contents of organic carbon, nitrogen, carbon/nitrogen ratio and percentage of organic matter, as well as the values of pH and electric conductivity. Lists of plants associated with Ptychoverpa bohemica were also prepared. Results of the investigation show that pH values of analysed soils are neutral to slightly acidic, they show negligible salinity, and the content of organic carbon, nitrogen and organic matter are higher in their upper levels. The floristic composition of patches with Ptychoverpa bohemica usually consists of species which are common in urban areas, such as apophytes and anthropophytes, for example: Betula pendula, Brachythecium rutabulum, Epipactis helleborine, Pinus sylvestris, Populus tremula, Quercus robur, Salix caprea and Sorbus aucuparia.
