Authors: Petrović Marijana 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
The article covers the events at the 8th Biennial of Puppetry Artists of Slovenia, which took place in 2015 in Maribor. It points out the productions that attracted young spectators with fresh minimalism (Turlututu) and an inventive participatory principle (In the Land of Finger Puppets and Heart and Bellybutton). Freaks, a puppet musical for grownups by Rok Vilčnik and Bojan Labović and A Little Lamp, Pea and Feather, a performance for the youngest audiences directed by Katja Povše, are characterized as especially original works. Also, The Grand Prix went to Timescope by Matija Solce, who also received the award for best directing for his work on it.

The blind gaze: Visual impairment and haptic filmmaking in João Júlio Antunes’ O jogo/The Game (2010)
Authors: Ledesma Eduardo 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This article contrasts two works that engage the concept of blind filmmaking. Woody Allen’s dramatized portrayal of a blind director in Hollywood Ending (2002) displays ableist attitudes in both its form and content. João Júlio Antunes’ O jogo/The Game (2010) exemplifies how cinema by a blind director might differ from sighted filmmaking through its formal characteristics and in its representation of disability. Analysing these films elicits significant critical questions: can there be a ‘blind’ cinematic style? If so, how might ‘blind cinema’ augment the sensory experience of both sighted and non-sighted spectators? Antunes expands his film into a multi-sensory experience that seeks to defamiliarize by deploying a ‘tactile visuality’, as first described by film theorist Laura Marks. The article proposes a shift towards a tactile way of seeing – a ‘blind gaze’ – and advocates for more inclusive filmmaking.
Lower semicontinuity of mass under C0{C^{0}} convergence and Huisken’s isoperimetric mass
Authors: Jauregui Jeffrey L. , Lee Dan A. 
Published: May 2017

AbstractGiven a sequence of asymptotically flat 3-manifolds of nonnegative scalar curvature with outermost minimal boundary, converging in the pointedC0{C^{0}}Cheeger–Gromov sense to an asymptotically flat limit space, we show that the total mass of the limit is bounded above by the liminf of the total masses of the sequence. In other words, total mass is lower semicontinuous under such convergence. In order to prove this, we use Huisken’s isoperimetric mass concept, together with a modified weak mean curvature flow argument. We include a brief discussion of Huisken’s work before explaining our extension of that work. The results are all specific to three dimensions.
Caspar David Friedrich, Ancient Rome and the Freiheitskrieg
Authors: Warren Richard 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This article considers four paintings by Caspar David Friedrich of a national romanticist nature. It examines the role of Rome and Germania’s ancient conflict in these, and briefly considers what may have influenced the artist’s national take on ancient history, including his personal experience of the Napoleonic invasions of his homeland. Friedrich’s transformations of the ancient in his national paintings are an important example of the reception of classical literature in German romanticism.
The Functional Properties of Chokeberry and Kale Powders Obtained by an Innovative Method of Fluidised-Bed Jet Milling with Drying Compared to Freeze Drying
Authors: Sadowska Anna , Świderski Franciszek , Rakowska Rita , Hallmann Ewelina 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
The study evaluated the functional properties of chokeberry and kale powders obtained by the fluidised-bed jet milling with drying (FJMD) method compared to the freeze-drying (FD) method. The powders obtained by the FJMD method were characterised by low water activity (<0.3), vitamins C content of 320.2 mg/100 g d.m. for kale powder, total content of polyphenols of 1864.2 mg/100 g d.m. for chokeberry powder, antioxidant activity of 37.0 and 27.6 mmol Trolox/g d.m for chokeberry and kale powders respectively and sensory quality similar to raw material. The high content of vitamin C in the kale powder indicates the desirability of its greater use as a natural source of this vitamin. The properties of FJMD powders were similar to the functional properties of the FD powders, which indicate that the FJMD method can be very competitive as compared to FD method.
Effect of Maltodextrin on Physical Properties of Granulated Xanthan Gum Prepared by Fluidized-Bed Granulator
Authors: Kim Yong-Hwan , Kim Sung-Gun , Yoo Byoungseung 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Fluidized-bed granulation has received considerable attention within the food process industry because granulated products often have improved flowability and appearance, and sometimes have specifically enhanced physical properties. In this study, the rheological properties of granulated xanthan gum (XG), commonly used as a main ingredient in food thickeners for dysphagia diets, were investigated at different concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 15 % w/w) of maltodextrin (MD) as a binder at different concentrations. Flowability and cohesiveness of granulated XG powder was also evaluated in terms of as Carr index (CI) and Hausner ratio (HR) were also investigated. The consistency index, apparent viscosity, storage modulus (G’) and loss modulus (G”) of granulated XG were significantly higher than those of non-granulated XG and granulated XG without binder (0 % MD). The tan δ values of granulated samples were lower compared with that of a non-granulated sample, indicating that their elastic properties were more pronounced because of the granulation. These rheological results also showed that there were no noticeable changes in flow properties between 0 % and 5 % MD concentrations, whereas the G’ and G” values at 10 % MD were much higher than those at other concentrations. The granulation process by MD binder also enhanced considerably flow characteristics of XG powder.
Numerical Simulation of Free Surface and Flow Field Turbulence in a Circular Channel with the Side Weir in Subcritical Flow
Authors: Azimi Hamed , Shabanlou Saeid 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
When flow surface is higher than of a side weir crest, the overflow spilt over the crest and divert into a side channel. These structures are extensively used in urban sewage disposal networks, water supply systems, and drainage and flood diversion networks. This study simulates stream free surface, discharge over a sharp-crest side weir, and discharge coefficient of a side weir in a circular channel using FLOW-3D software. Numerical model results were compared with the experimental ones and the comparison proved an acceptable consistency between the numerical and experimental results. RNG k-ε turbulence model was used for simulating flow turbulence. The volume of fluid (VOF) method was used in this CFD analysis for predicting changes of flow free surface. Then, the numerical simulation results were examined for discharge coefficient of the side weir and flow free surface for different discharge passing through the main channel. The changes of dividing stream surface from main channel bed toward stream free surface were examined. The concluding section assessed the effect of shape of a circular channel on the pattern and intensity of a secondary flow in the main channel and the impacts of the discharge passing through the circular channel on height of stagnation point and shear stress pattern in the main channel bed.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership and Japan’s Agricultural Trade
Authors: Schmitz Andrew , Zhu Manhong , Zilberman David 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) was concluded on October 5, 2015, by twelve countries that include the United States, Japan, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. Under the TPPA, Japan will partially liberalize its five politically sensitive agricultural subsectors: (1) rice, (2) beef and pork, (3) wheat and barley, (4) sugar, and (5) dairy, none of which contain any genetically modified (GM) content. Under full liberalization, Japanese producers in these subsectors will lose (e. g., rice producers will lose over $6 billion and beef producers will lose over $2 billion). Excluding butter, the trade impact of the TPPA on the Japanese government will be negative because of tariff and resale-revenue losses. Our empirical results provide the full effects of complete trade liberalization. However, because the TPPA negotiations of 2015 resulted in only partial trade liberalization, our results can be easily modified to deal with the degree to which trade distortions are removed for each of the above agricultural subsectors. In terms of producers who lose from trade liberalization, the Japanese government will provide compensation.
Effect of ginseng therapy on diabetes and its chronic complications: lessons learned
Authors: Chakrabarti Subrata , Sen Subhrojit , Lui Edmund 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Ginseng played a significant role in the management of diabetes in China and in other Asian countries for a long period of time. It has a large number of pharmacological properties and is relatively free from adverse effects. As a part of Ontario Ginseng Research and Innovation Consortium, we investigated the effects of ginseng extract on diabetes and its complications. We demonstrated large number of beneficial effects of ginseng therapy and showed that these effects are possibly mediated through its antioxidant properties. Thus ginseng may lend itself as a relatively safe and inexpensive adjuvant treatment for diabetes and chronic diabetic complications.
Inferring regional vertical crustal velocities from averaged relative sea level trends: A proof of concept
Authors: Bâki Iz H. , Shum C. K. , Zhang C. , Kuo C. Y. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This study demonstrates that relative sea level trends calculated from long-term tide gauge records can be used to estimate relative vertical crustal velocities in a region with high accuracy. A comparison of the weighted averages of the relative sea level trends estimated at six tide gauge stations in two clusters along the Eastern coast of United States, in Florida and in Maryland, reveals a statistically significant regional vertical crustal motion of Maryland with respect to Florida with a subsidence rate of −1.15±0.15 mm/yr identified predominantly due to the ongoing glacial isostatic adjustment process. The estimate is a consilience value to validate vertical crustal velocities calculated from GPS time series as well as towards constraining predictive GIA models in these regions.
Some new facts about group 𝒢 generated by the family of convergent permutations
Authors: Wituła Roman , Hetmaniok Edyta , Słota Damian 
Published: May 2017

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to present some new and essential facts about group 𝒢 generated by the family of convergent permutations, i.e. the permutations on ℕ preserving the convergence of series of real terms. We prove that there exist permutations preserving the sum of series which do not belong to 𝒢. Additionally, we show that there exists a familyG(possessing the cardinality equal to continuum) of groups of permutations on ℕ such that each one of these groups is different than 𝒢 and is composed only from the permutations preserving the sum of series. This result substantially strengthens some old Pleasants’ result.

Abstract
Robot-Assisted Therapy (RAT) has successfully been used to improve social skills in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) through remote control of the robot in so-called Wizard of Oz (WoZ) paradigms.However, there is a need to increase the autonomy of the robot both to lighten the burden on human therapists (who have to remain in control and, importantly, supervise the robot) and to provide a consistent therapeutic experience. This paper seeks to provide insight into increasing the autonomy level of social robots in therapy to move beyond WoZ. With the final aim of improved human-human social interaction for the children, this multidisciplinary research seeks to facilitate the use of social robots as tools in clinical situations by addressing the challenge of increasing robot autonomy.We introduce the clinical framework in which the developments are tested, alongside initial data obtained from patients in a first phase of the project using a WoZ set-up mimicking the targeted supervised-autonomy behaviour. We further describe the implemented system architecture capable of providing the robot with supervised autonomy.
The distribution of random motion at non-constant velocity in semi-Markov media
Authors: Pogorui Anatoliy , Rodríguez-Dagnino Ramón M. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This paper deals with random motion at non-constant speed with uniformly distributed directions where the direction alternations occur according to renewal epochs of general distribution. We derive the renewal equation for the characteristic function of the transition density of the multidimensional motion. By using the renewal equation, we study the behavior of the transition density near the sphere of its singularity for the two- and four-dimensional cases and variable velocity, and the three-dimensional case for constant velocity.
As examples, we have derived the distribution for one-, two- and three-dimensional random motion.

Using this Itô formula, we prove exponential stability and exponential ultimate boundedness properties, in the mean square sense, for mild solutions.
We also compare this Itô formula to an Itô formula for mild solutions introduced by Ichikawa in [12], and an Itô formula written in terms of the semigroup of the drift operator [5], which we extend to the non-Gaussian case.
Residuation in orthomodular lattices
Authors: Chajda Ivan , Länger Helmut 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
We show that every idempotent weakly divisible residuated lattice satisfying the double negation law can be transformed into an orthomodular lattice. The converse holds if adjointness is replaced by conditional adjointness. Moreover, we show that every positive right residuated lattice satisfying the double negation law and two further simple identities can be converted into an orthomodular lattice. In this case, also the converse statement is true and the corresponence is nearly one-to-one.
The Transformation of Kosovar Holidays between Socialism, War and Migration. A Biographical Approach
Authors: Pagenstecher Cord 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This paper studies the transformative character of tourism and travel for a small, but multi-facetted example: Kosovo is a post-socialist transformation society and a post-war country in the process of nation building, a developing country within Europe and a transnational migration society. With quantitative data being unreliable in such contexts, an exemplary, biographical study allows an analysis of cross-system transformations and continuities. Based on narrative interviews, the paper studies travel patterns and narratives of an Albanian woman (anonymized here as Zana Bajrami) from socialist rural Yugoslavia in the 1970s to migratory Europe in the 2000s. After a general introduction, the paper considers public and private tourism in Yugoslavia first, before focusing on the impact of migration on tourist behavior. In trying to contextualize an individual example, it also explores the potential of a biographical approach in tourism research.
RhCd9+δ(−1.18≤δ≤0.29) a γ-brass related cubic giant cell structure
Authors: Jana Partha Pratim 
Published: May 2017

AbstractThe compound RhCd9+δ(−1.18≤δ≤0.29) has been synthesized and the average structure has been analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The average structure crystallizes in the face centered cubic space groupF4̅3m(216) and contains ~405 atoms/unit cell. It represents a (2aγ)3-superstructure of cubic γ-brass and is isostructural to Rh7−xMg44+x. The comparison between the structures of RhCd9+δand Rh7−xMg44+xhas been presented using a layer description. The structure of the title phase has also been described by a “cluster” concept. The electronic structure of RhCd9+δ(−1.18≤δ≤0.29) shows that the phase is stabilized by a Hume-Rothery mechanism.
Mechanical, Dynamical and Thermodynamic Properties of Al-3wt%Mg from First Principles
Authors: Yang Rong , Tang Bin , Gao Tao 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
The mechanical, dynamical and thermodynamic properties of Al-3wt%Mg have been investigated using the first-principles method. The calculated structural parameter is in good agreement with previous works. Results for the elastic modulus, stress-strain relationships, ideal tensile and shear strengths are presented. Al-3wt%Mg is found to have larger moduli and higher strengths than Al, which is consistent with its exploitation in Al precipitate-hardening mechanisms. The partial density of states (PDOS) show that the partly covalent-like bonding through Al p-Mg s hybridization is the origin of excellent mechanical properties of Al-3wt%Mg. The phonon dispersion curves indicate that Al-3wt%Mg is dynamically stable at ambient pressure and 0 K. Furthermore, the Helmholtz free energy ΔF, the entropy S, the constant-volume specific heat CV
and the phonon contribution to the internal energy ΔE are predicted using the phonon density of states. We expect that our work can provide useful guidance to help with the performance of Al-3wt%Mg.
Gain Control in Predictive Smooth Pursuit Eye Movements: Evidence for an Acceleration-Based Predictive Mechanism
Authors: Brostek Lukas , Eggert Thomas , Glasauer Stefan 
Published: May 2017

AbstractThe smooth pursuit eye movement system incorporates various control features enabling adaptation to specific tracking situations. In this work, we analyzed the interplay between two of these mechanisms: gain control and predictive pursuit. We tested human responses to high-frequency perturbations during step-ramp pursuit, as well as the pursuit of a periodically moving target. For the latter task, we found a nonlinear interaction between perturbation response and carrier acceleration. Responses to perturbations where the initial perturbation acceleration was contradirectional to carrier acceleration increased with carrier velocity, in a manner similar to that observed during step-ramp pursuit. In contrast, responses to perturbations with ipsidirectional initial perturbation and carrier acceleration were large for all carrier velocities. Modeling the pursuit system suggests that gain control and short-term prediction are separable elements. The observed effect may be explained by combining the standard gain control mechanism with a derivative-based short-term predictive mechanism. The nonlinear interaction between perturbation and carrier acceleration can be reproduced by assuming a signal saturation, which is acting on the derivative of the target velocity signal. Our results therefore argue for the existence of an internal estimate of target acceleration as a basis for a simple yet efficient short-term predictive mechanism.
