Between independence and autonomous adaptation: The Europeanization of television regulation in non-EU member states
Authors: Puppis Manuel 
Published: July 2016

AbstractTelevision regulation is increasingly Europeanized. While the transposition of community law into national legislation in EU member states has been widely discussed, scholarly attention is less frequently devoted to the Europeanization of non-member states. This paper investigates how television regulation in non-EU members has been influenced by European audiovisual policy since the liberalization of broadcasting. Focusing on the case of Switzerland and putting it into a wider context, changes in television regulation and their connection to the European level were analyzed by performing a qualitative document analysis. Results indicate that the degree of Europeanization in Switzerland differs remarkably from other non-member states like Norway. While advertising regulation was brought in line with less-strict EU directives, a public value test or compliance with state aid rules were not even discussed. Yet similar to other non-members, rules were adopted without having a say in their development.

Modelling the geomorphic history of the Tribeč Mts. and the Pohronský Inovec Mts. (Western Carpathians) with the CHILD model
Authors: Staškovanová Veronika , Minár Jozef 
Published: July 2016

AbstractNumerical models were developed in order to provide a suitable computational framework for exploring research questions related to long-term landscape evolution. We used the Channel-Hillslope Integrated Landscape Development (CHILD) model to prove three hypotheses concerning the processes contributing to the neotectonic landscape evolution of the Tribeč Mts. and the Pohronský Inovec Mts. (Western Carpathians): (1) simultaneous planation and uplift; (2) temporally and spatially varying uplift; (3) exhumation of a part of the area from below Neogene sediments. Given the size of the area, its lithological variability and the insufficient knowledge of the palaeogeographical settings, using a detachment-limited model to express river incision into bedrock as well as water (rill) erosion on hillslopes proved the best solution. Results of the simulations were compared with real topography through hypsographic curves and the distribution of remnants of planation surfaces. The real surface corresponds best to a combination of the hypotheses (2) and (3), with more intensive Quaternary tectonic uplift of the Pohronský Inovec Mts. and the adjacent Rázdiel part of the Tribeč Mts., and exhumation of a mature palaeosurface from below Miocene sediments in the east of the Tribeč Mts.

Abstract
Freshly harvested palm trunks and timber with their high moisture content (MC) are susceptible to fungi due to the high content of easily consumable sugars and starch as long as MC of the tissue is above fiber saturation point (FSP). To test the influence of sugars and starch on fungal development, small wood samples from oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) were watered and their contents of the non-structural carbohydrates were measured. Glucose was the most abundant substance in the extract, followed by starch, fructose, and sucrose. Watering for 3 and 10 days with daily water exchange reduced the content of sugars and starch considerably. Untreated and watered samples were then subjected to spore suspensions of the moulds Aspergillus niger, Penicillium commune, to a natural infection by air-born spores and to the blue-stain-fungi Alternaria alternata and Aureobasidium pullulans. The former colonized the surface of the untreated samples within a few days, while the latter caused considerable mass loss. With increasing watering both fungal activities were reduced as the nutrients for the fungi were removed. The woods of E. guineensis and Phoenix dactylifera (date palm) with MC above FSP were treated with acetic and propionic acid and subsequently infected by moulds, staining and decay fungi. Short dipping in solutions of 2% acetic acid and 2% propionic acid, respectively, protected all samples for 3 months against the mould fungi. Staining fungi and wood-decay fungi were slightly inhibited by a treatment with 5% acid concentration. Treatment with these acids offers a protection technique for the practice. Their sodium salts were ineffective due to their high pH-value.
Control of Grid Connected Photovoltaic System Using Three-Level T-Type Inverter

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Three-level T-Type inverter (3LT2I) topology has numerous advantageous compared to three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter. The main benefits of 3LT2I inverter are the efficiency, inverter cost, switching losses, and the quality of output voltage waveforms. In this paper, a photovoltaic distributed generation system based on dual-stage topology of DC-DC boost converter and 3LT2I is introduced. To that end, a decoupling control strategy of 3LT2I is proposed to control the current injected into the grid, reactive power compensation, and DC-link voltage. The resulting system is able to extract the maximum power from photovoltaic generator, to achieve sinusoidal grid currents, and to ensure reactive power compensation. The voltage-balancing control of two split DC capacitors of the 3LT2I is achieved using three-level space vector modulation with balancing strategy based on the effective use of the redundant switching states of the inverter voltage vectors. The proposed system performance is investigated at different operating conditions.
Generalized Structural Mean Models for Evaluating Depression as a Post-treatment Effect Modifier of a Jobs Training Intervention
Authors: Stephens Alisa , Keele Luke , Joffe Marshall 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In randomized controlled trials, the evaluation of an overall treatment effect is often followed by effect modification or subgroup analyses, where the possibility of a different magnitude or direction of effect for varying values of a covariate is explored. While studies of effect modification are typically restricted to pretreatment covariates, longitudinal experimental designs permit the examination of treatment effect modification by intermediate outcomes, where intermediates are measured after treatment but before the final outcome. We present a novel application of generalized structural mean models (GSMMs) for simultaneously assessing effect modification by post-treatment covariates and accounting for noncompliance to assigned treatment status. The proposed approach may also be used to identify post-treatment effect modifiers in the absence of noncompliance. The methods are evaluated using a simulation study that demonstrates that our approach retains consistent estimation of effect modification by intermediate variables that are affected by treatment and also predict outcomes. We illustrate the method using a randomized trial designed to promote re-employment through teaching skills to enhance self-esteem and inoculate job seekers against setbacks in the job search process. Our analysis provides some evidence that the intervention was much less successful among subjects that displayed higher levels of depression at intermediate post-treatment waves of the study. We also compare the assumptions of our approach and principal stratification as alternatives to account for differences in effects by intermediate variables.

Macroeconomic (in)stability and endogenous market structure with productive government expenditure
Authors: Chang Cheng-Wei , Lai Ching-Chong 
Published: July 2016

AbstractWe consider the congestion effect of productive government spending in a monopolistic competition model with endogenous entry, and analyze the possibility of local indeterminacy. Some main findings emerge from the analysis. First, the indeterminacy condition is independent of the monopoly power. Second, productive government expenditure can be a source of local indeterminacy, while a higher degree of public goods congestion lessens the beneficial effect of productive government expenditure, and therefore reduces the possibility of indeterminacy. Third, a higher degree of internal returns to scale is associated with a lower possibility for the emergence of indeterminacy when production externalities are present.
5 Digitalization: Another Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere?
Authors: Celikates Robin 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Is the Internet one of the causes of the crisis of the public sphere or does it rather provide a way to address this crisis? Do new forms of digital activism undermine the functioning of existing democratic institutions or open up new avenues for democratic participation? In this paper I address these questions by discussing the traditional Habermasian notion of the public sphere and the challenge that the digitalization of communication and collective action poses to it. After showing that digitalization indeed leads to a new structural transformation of the public sphere, I distinguish ways in which this development can be both detrimental to and beneficial for the project of a democratic public sphere in the 21st century.

Guest Editorial: Managing Production to Weather the Storm
Authors: Welborn Wade 
Published: July 2016

Guest Editorial
The recent plunge in oil prices has reinforced a number of truths about our industry.
It is cyclical.
Declining prices shift spending from capital expense to operating expense models.
In depressed markets, operators turn their focus to high-value return on existing assets that meet the price threshold.
Operators who successfully harvest production from those existing assets are well-positioned for the inevitable market upturn.
While the advent of US unconventional plays has created nothing short of a seismic shift in our industry, these truths at least remain constant. And they all point to one fundamental certainty: In a “bust” cycle, production is king. It pays the bills. It helps keep the wheels of technology innovation turning. It is the foundation on which the next “boom” is built.
The challenge, however, is in the approach to and execution of production enrichment programs.
Balancing short- and long-term value from a producing asset depends on a long list of variables related to wellbore construction, fluid content, and oil composition. None of these variables exist in isolation. It takes a coordinated, planned approach to production if you want to reduce lifting costs, maximize productivity, and improve cash flow. But too often, planning for the production phase does not happen early enough in the life of a well.
From the Beginning
Like the smart little pig who built his house of bricks to withstand the wolf’s huffing and puffing, an optimum production management solution begins with initial well construction decisions. Factors such as depth, casing diameter, liner diameter, deviation, and length of the lateral can affect how the well is produced. The most effective production management strategies help operators reap the benefits of better drilling efficiencies and open up more of the reservoir to the wellbore without limiting artificial lift options over the life of the well. That is a tall order when you consider that drilling teams rarely consult production engineers before a well is drilled.
Wellbore geometry, particularly in shale plays and other horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing operations, can be quite challenging for artificial lift. We have what I will call a space/time conundrum when it comes to production from unconventional wells. Are we drilling wells that have enough space to allow for the maximum production and reserves recovery over time? Unfortunately, too often the answer is no.
For example, tight curve sections in horizontal wellbores are, in some cases, planned to save drilling costs and open additional pay zone to the wellbore, but this strategy has traditionally limited artificial lift options.
The good news is that technology innovation is keeping up. A new electrical submersible pumping (ESP) system design was recently introduced that makes it possible for ESPs to be installed through deviations of up to 25°/100 ft, which meets or exceeds the capabilities of the industry’s best currently available directional drilling systems.
