Some new bounds of the minimum eigenvalue for the Hadamard product of an M-matrix and an inverse M-matrix
Authors: Zhao Jianxing , Sang Caili 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Some convergent sequences of the lower bounds of the minimum eigenvalue for the Hadamard product of a nonsingular M-matrix B and the inverse of a nonsingular M-matrix A are given by using Brauer’s theorem. It is proved that these sequences are monotone increasing, and numerical examples are given to show that these sequences could reach the true value of the minimum eigenvalue in some cases. These results in this paper improve some known results.
Competition and Cooperation in European Professional Club Football
Authors: Kassay Lili , Géczi Gábor 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
The aim of the article is to highlight the theoretical assumption that the relative competitive disadvantage between markets with different maximum sizes can be partially counteracted with strategic thinking and business-like operations. The research question presented in this article is whether there are any management tools available for clubs which they can use to improve their business competitiveness above and beyond the limitations of their maximum market size. According to the research hypothesis, there is such a tool available for clubs: the management and operation of a football club in a well-organized and business-like manner. The method of analysis is the so-called Grounded Theory (Glaser, & Strauss, 1967; Locke, 2001), which is an abstract analytical schema with a systematic data analysis process. The data collection incorporates desk research, comparative analysis, organizational review, and in-depth interviews. The results are presented according to the following dimensions: a) relevance of the research question; b) specification of groups of relevant management tools; c) the role of the national football association in the process of market development; d) the role of the owners in this process; and e) how the structure of the sector and its operating processes can guarantee the efficient utilization of all the material resources which have been plowed into the sector over the last four to five years. According to the conclusions, the creation of an operating system and club model that allows for the utilization of resources - maximized market revenues and governmental sources - in the most effective way is an unavoidable challenge. The formation of the sustainable operations of clubs is fundamentally influenced by club owners. An inspection of the interaction between club owners, head coaches, and players is a key task in the process of creating a new club model.

Published: March 2016

Abstract
The innovative behavior of individuals in the workplace is the foundation of any high-performance organization, and thus a study on the factors that motivate or enable individuals’ innovative behavior is critical (Scott, & Bruce, 1994). Therefore, the aim of this research was to find the relationship between organizational culture and innovative work behavior (IWB) in tourism enterprises that market sports services. Considering the fact that IWB is crucial for tourism enterprises, exploring the factors that influence IWB could be beneficial. Correlation analysis revealed that IWB was found to be significantly correlating with cooperativeness (r=0.442, p<0.05), innovativeness (r=0.510, p<0.05), consistency (r=0.522, p<0.05), and effectiveness (r=0.554, p<0.05). Additionally, stepwise regression analysis, which was conducted to discover whether organizational culture predicts IWB, showed a significant model: F(2-131)=33.775, p<0.05. The model explained 33% of the variance in IWB (Adjusted R2=0.33). In general, our findings suggest that there is a relationship between organizational culture and IWB and that organizational culture significantly predicts IWB. As IWB is crucial for the enhanced performance and success of any organization, organizational culture should be organized in order to encourage employees in terms of IWB.

Abstract
This paper will highlight current evidence about health and well-being that could encourage investment in health for older populations. The paper uses the example of hypertension throughout to illustrate how data collection efforts are translating research to policy. Hypertension, is a global scourge for poor and wealthy, younger and older adults, increasing the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Although it is easily diagnosed and can be effectively treated the burden of hypertension continues to grow as awareness, prevention and treatment lags, particularly for the poor and old. The focus is brought back to how current research can inform policy for ageing populations in the final section, using Ireland’s experience to demonstrate how to legislate the good life for older adults.
Polcalcins as pollen panallergens in allergic rhinitis
Authors: Popescu Florin-Dan , Vieru Mariana 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Polcalcins are highly cross-reactive calcium-binding allergen components specifically expressed in pollen from trees, grasses and weeds. The grass allergen component rPhl p 7, a recombinant non-glycosylated calcium-binding protein of 2-EF-hand type, is the most cross-reactive polcalcin and may be used as a polcalcin biomarker of IgE-mediated hypersensitivity. Polcalcin sensitization, which appears to be linked to geographical factors, level and time of pollen exposure, has to be assessed in allergic rhinitis patients with multiple pollen sensitizations and may be useful for a better targeted prescription of allergen immunotherapy.
The value of posterior rhinomanometry in evaluating patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
Authors: Stanciu Alex George , Cirticioiu Alexandra , Neagos Adriana 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
BACKGROUND. Nowadays, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are the most common sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) found in the medical practice and they are estimated to affect approximately 4% of men and 2% of women in the middle-aged workforce. There are some ENT pathologies that are involved in snoring, and also in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The nose plays an important part in both breathing and SRBD. The aim of this study was to determine the role of posterior rhinomanometry in the diagnoses of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. We present a retrospective observational study that took place during a three-year period, between 2009 and 2012. In this study were included 110 subjects, who have undergone polysomnographic investigations, as well as an ENT clinical examination focused on endoscopy and posterior rhinomanometry evaluation.
RESULTS. The mean age was 46.09 ± 10.91 years, the mean height was 177.58 ± 10.02 cm and the mean weight was 98.45 ± 17.74 kg. Analysing these results, we found a significant correlation between them and the severity of the sleep pathology. The posterior rhinomanometry results were correlated with nasal allergic rhinitis (p = 0.06) and not correlated with other nasal pathology, such as nasal septum deviation. The changes in the size and shape of the tongue base or epiglottis proved to have an important impact upon rhinomanometric values, with a statistically significant value (p = 0.03, respectively p = 0.08).
CONCLUSION. All diagnostic methods must be interpreted in connection with each other.

Authors: Chiesa Estomba Carlos Miguel , Betances Reinoso Frank Alberto , Santidrian Hidalgo Carmelo 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
BACKGROUND. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a reliable option in the treatment of sinus pathology, but the presence of the anatomical variant and difficult cases like massive polyposis or revision FESS can generate some problems to surgeons.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. After performing an unciformectomy, a partial anterior ethmoidectomy and maxillary ostium antrostomy, we slide a cottonoid back to the basal lamella of the middle turbinate with a Cottle dissector and introduce it in the superior meatus. After that, we return to the middle meatus and proceed to open the basal lamella finding the cottonoid placed there previously.
RESULTS. An easy technique, safe and reproducible, that allows us to advance in our dissection, avoiding damaging important structures.
CONCLUSION. In this paper we present a safe way to approach the posterior ethmoidal cells complex in the classic way through the basal lamella of the middle turbinate, under the guidance of a cottonoid, a safe and easy maneuver to do this procedure in the beginning of our formation or in complex cases.

Authors: Trombitas Veronica , Nagy Alina , Vlad Diana , Ilea Aranka , Albu Silviu 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
BACKGROUND. Silent sinus syndrome (SSS) is known as a relatively new pathology with clinical characterizations, represented by the facial asymmetry determined by progressive enophthalmos and hypoglobus and the absence of nasal symptoms. The theory that sustained this pathology is based on the negative maxillary pressure and the chronic evolution of symptomatology.
CASE REPORT. A 49-year-old white female presented in our clinic for facial asymmetry, right facial pressure, right depression of the orbital floor and hypoglobus, without diplopia. The CT scan showed an opaque right maxillary sinus with the depression of the orbital floor.
CONCLUSION. The pathogenesis, clinical and imagistic features are the most important in the SSS for diagnosis and correct treatment.

Authors: Gheorghe Dan Cristian , Zamfir-Chiru-Anton Adina 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Tumors of the maxillary sinus pose difficult challenges in a young patient. Our paper presents a very rare case of an odontogenic myxoma extended to the maxillary sinus, in a 14-year-old girl. The clinical picture suggested a malignancy or a local infection. The surgical removal was complete and the diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Discussions are made from the perspective of already published cases. A review of the disease is performed.
CONCLUSION. Myxoma is a benign but aggressive tumor, needing complete surgical excision for a good long-term outcome.
Evaluation and Analysis of Curvature-Corrected Filter-based Turbulent Model
Authors: Zhang Rui 
Published: March 2016

AbstractPrediction of the characteristics of turbulent flow with streamline curvature is of great importance in engineering applications. In this paper, a curvature-corrected filter-based turbulent model is suggested by applying the Spalart-Shur correction term. This new version of the model (FBM-CC) has been tested and verified through two canonical benchmarks with strong streamline curvature: the flow in a two-dimensional U-duct and the free shear flow past NACA0012 airfoil with a round tip. Predictions of the FBM-CC model are compared with available experimental data and the corresponding results of the original FBM model. The numerical results show that the FBM-CC model significantly improves the sensitivity to the effect of streamline curvature and the numerical calculation accuracy, in relatively good agreement with the experimental data, which suggests that this proposed model may be employed to simulate the turbulent curved flow in engineering applications.
Teneurins, TCAP, and latrophilins: roles in the etiology of mood disorders
Authors: Woelfle Rebecca , D’Aquila Andrea L. , Lovejoy David A. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Mood disorders, including anxiety and depression, are thought to be characterized by disrupted neuronal synapses and altered brain plasticity. The etiology is complex, involving numerous regions of the brain, comprising a multitude of neurotransmitter and neuromodulator systems. Recently, new studies on the teneurins, an evolutionary ancient family of type II transmembrane proteins have been shown to interact with latrophilins (LPHN), a similarly phylogenetically old family of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) forming a transsynaptic adhesion and ligand-receptor pair. Each of the four teneurin proteins contains bioactive sequences termed the teneurin C-terminal associated peptides (TCAP-1–4), which possess a number of neuromodulatory effects. The primary structures of the TCAP are most closely similar to the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family of peptides. CRF has been implicated in a number of diverse mood disorders. Via an association with dystroglycans, synthetic TCAP-1 administration to both embryonic and primary hippocampal cultures induces long-term changes in neuronal structure, specifically increased neurite outgrowth, dendritic branching, and axon growth. Rodent models treated with TCAP-1 show reduced anxiety responses in the elevated plus-maze, openfield test, and acoustic startle test and inhibited CRF-mediated cocaine-seeking behaviour. Thus the teneurin/TCAP-latrophilin interaction may play a major role in the origin, development and treatment of mood disorders.
Un regard sur les recherches roumaines en histoire de la traduction
Authors: Lungu-Badea Georgiana 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
This article sets out to offer a panoramic view of the history and historiography of translation into Romanian from a variety of approaches, among them the history of language, of literature, and of cultural and artistic practices. The following aspects will be focused on in carrying out this survey: translation as an act, the participants in the translation process (partially recorded in indexes and/or indirectly listed in dictionaries and indexes of translated works), and translation as a result. Our intention is to emphasize how valuable research in the field of Romanian translation is, in particular in order to reveal the role translation has played in the process of linguistic and administrative self-determination, and, through this, in the construction of the national past.
La ritraduzione nel panorama degli studi traduttologici
Authors: Fusco Fabiana 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Retranslation, intended as the «coexistence de plusieurs traductions, simultanées ou successives, de la même oeuvre (série de traductions)» (Skibińska 2007, 2), is an ancient and rather widespread phenomenon in various linguistic traditions. Drawing on some considerations that arose while studying the ever-growing bibliography on this topic, this article outlines the reasons, the effects and the modalities that distinguish this practice, which is gaining appreciation in many European literatures and cultures, foremost in the Italian one.

Published: March 2016

Abstract
The advent of genome editing techniques based on the clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)–Cas9 system has revolutionized research in the biological sciences. CRISPR is quickly becoming an indispensible experimental tool for researchers using genetic model organisms, including the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we provide an overview of CRISPR-based strategies for genome editing in C. elegans. We focus on practical considerations for successful genome editing, including a discussion of which strategies are best suited to producing different kinds of targeted genome modifications.

Published: March 2016

ABSTRACTOne of the most important parts of a hybrid reactor is the cladding because it should withstand high temperatures, neutrons with high energy, high neutron flux, as well as provide the first security contention. Besides, the material should have good mechanical properties to remove the heat. Although, the cladding material choice will have a great influence on criticality calculations. In previous works on ADS there is no cladding used, therefore in this paper it is tested different cladding materials based on SS-316, ODS, T91 and 15-15Ti used in nuclear reactors, to study the variations on the fuel depletion and variations on the neutronic parameters. The results using the cladding are compared with the one obtained without using it. The best material choice is based on the neutronic parameters that presents the closest behavior to the ADS simulated without clad.

Published: March 2016

ABSTRACTThe alloy composed of zirconium has been used effectively for over 50 years in claddings of nuclear fuel, especially for PWR type reactors. However, to increase fuel enrichment with the aim of rising the burning and maintaining the safety of nuclear plants, is of great relevance the study of new materials that can replace safely and efficiently zircaloy cladding. Among several proposed material, silicon carbide (SiC) has a potential to replace zircaloy as fuel cladding material due to its high-temperature tolerance, chemical stability and a low absorption cross-section for thermal neutrons. In this paper, the goal is to expand the study with silicon carbide cladding, checking its behavior when submitted to an environment with burnable poison variations, the impact on multiplication factor and reactivity coefficients to both claddings: zircaloy and silicon carbide. The neutronic analysis was made using the SCALE 6.0 (Standardized Computer Analysis for Licensing Evaluation) code. This code system is widely accepted and used worldwide for safety analysis, and criticality of nuclear reactors has been utilized to model a typical fuel element of a PWR.

Published: March 2016

This article derives several properties of the Riesz distributions, such as their corresponding Bartlett decompositions, the inverse Riesz distributions and the distribution of the generalised variance for real normed division algebras. In addition, introduce a kind of generalised beta distribution termed beta-Riesz distribution for real normed division algebras. Two versions of this distributions are proposed and some properties are studied.

Authors: Kaygisiz Emine , Uzuner Fatma Deniz , Taner Lale 
Published: March 2016

Objectives: To calculate the agreement between the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) and the Index of Complexity, Outcome and Need (ICON) in assessing orthodontic treatment need and to determine correlations between the Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) and DAI and ICON scores according to Angle classification among patients referred for orthodontic evaluation.
Study Design: This study included 457 randomly selected patients between 9 to17 years of age. Patients were divided into four groups according to Angle classification [Class I (n=154), Class II division 1(Class II/1) (n=155), Class II division 2(Class II/2) (n=52) and Class III (n=96)]. Relationships between PAR scores and ICON and DAI scores were evaluated with the Spearman correlation test. Unweighted kappa statistics were used to analyse agreement between the ICON and DAI on the need for treatment, according to Angle classification. Results: Class I malocclusions scored significantly lower than other Angle classifications in all indices. Both the ICON and DAI showed significant positive correlations with the PAR in the general study population. For Class II/2 patients, no correlation was found between PAR and DAI scores. There was significant agreement between the ICON and DAI on treatment need among Class I, Class II/1 and Class II/2 patients however, no agreement was found for Class III malocclusions. Conclusions: The ICON, DAI and PAR produce similar results and can be used interchangeably for the general orthodontic patient population. However, based on Angle classification, prominent differences exist in scoring certain occlusal features.
Inclusive Information and Communication Technologies for People with Disabilities
Authors: Simpson Jenifer 
Published: March 2016

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has the potential both to enhance access for people with disabilities and to contribute to creating barriers. What we now call the digital divide actually began long before the introduction of computers – barriers have existed and still exist today with telephones, television, the Internet and other information technology. It is important to remember that people with disabilities have many different accessibility needs and that there are different ways to make technology accessible and that new accessibility needs emerge as technology changes. This paper looks at the state of accessibility policy in the U.S. in several technology infrastructures that may provide some lessons and directions for increasing inclusive information and communication technologies worldwide. For instance, if the many provisions involving technology in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities are to have real and substantive meaning, policy and implementation at the infrastructure level must occur.
Gil Grissom and His Hidden Condition: Constructions of Hearing Loss and Deafness in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Authors: Foss Katherine 
Published: March 2016

Even with the increasing rate of hearing loss in adults, stigmas about hearing loss and old age continue to prevail. Film and television representations have traditionally ignored cases of hearing loss. When representations of hearing loss have appeared, they have presented negative portrayals, reinforcing stigmas about hearing loss. This study examines how CSI: Crime Scene Investigation portrays hearing loss and deafness. Through the main character, Gil Grissom, this program offers multiple understandings of hearing loss and deafness. Findings indicate that CSI presents hearing loss to be isolating and career damaging. Yet, also presented through Grissom’s character, deafness is conveyed not always as a functional limitation, but as one characteristic of a rich cultural community.
Emerging from Emergence: Toward a Rethinking of the Recovery Story in Nine Contemporary Nonfiction Autism Narratives
Authors: Foss Chris 
Published: March 2016

In this paper I trace a welcome new trajectory within one of the fastest-growing subsets of illness/disability narrative over the last three decades— book-length accounts of living with autism spectrum disorders. My thesis is that one may observe a marked shift in how many of these writers now position themselves relative to the established pattern for such stories. According to the earlier model, the narrative moves inevitably toward the autistic individual’s recovery, or at least emergence, from his/her disability. More recently, most writers (from both first- and third-person points of view) have been rethinking the merits of such a teleology, often opting instead to insist upon their autism spectrum diagnoses as a fundamental aspect of their self-concept rather than as a hindrance to a more normal life and full self-realization.
