The genome size of B. amyloliquefaciens TF28 is 3,987,635 bp which consists of 3754 protein-coding genes, 65 tandem repeat sequences, 47 minisatellite DNA, 2 microsatellite DNA, 63 tRNA, 7rRNA, 6 sRNA, 3 prophage and CRISPR domains.
Apneic Oxygenation During Prolonged Laryngoscopy in Obese Patients: A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Buccal RAE Tube Oxygen Administration
Authors: Heard Andrew , Toner Andrew J. , Evans James R. , Aranda Palacios Alberto M. , Lauer Stefan 
Published: September 2016

BACKGROUND:
Despite optimal preoxygenation, obese patients undergoing induction of general anesthesia exhibit significant hypoxemia after 2 to 4 minutes of apnea. Apneic oxygenation techniques can assist airway management by extending the safe apnea time. We hypothesized that a novel method of apneic oxygenation via the oral route would effectively prolong safe apnea in an obese surgical population.

METHODS:
In this open-label, parallel-arm, randomized-controlled efficacy trial, 40 ASA physical status I–II obese patients with body mass index (BMI) 30–40 were randomly assigned to standard care (n = 20) or buccal oxygenation (n = 20) during induction of total IV anesthesia. Buccal oxygen was administered via a modified 3.5-mm Ring-Adair-Elwyn (RAE) tube apposed to the left internal cheek. Prolonged laryngoscopy maintained apnea with a patent airway until Spo
2 dropped below 95% or 750 seconds elapsed. The primary outcome was time to reach Spo
2 < 95%.

RESULTS:
Patient characteristics were similar in both study arms. Recipients of buccal oxygenation were less likely to exhibit Spo
2 < 95% during 750 seconds of apnea; hazard ratio 0.159 (95% confidence interval 0.044–0.226, P < .0001). Median (interquartile range [IQR]) apnea times with Spo
2 ≥ 95% were prolonged in this group; 750 (389–750) versus 296 (244–314) seconds, P < .0001.

CONCLUSIONS:
Clinically important prolongation of safe apnea times can be achieved delivering buccal oxygen to obese patients on induction of anesthesia. This novel use of apneic oxygenation via the oral route may improve management of the difficult airway and overcome some of the limitations of alternative techniques.
Mechanosensory signaling as a potential mode of communication during social interactions in fishes
Authors: Butler Julie M. , Maruska Karen P. 
Published: September 2016

ABSTRACT
Signals produced during social interactions convey crucial information about the sender's identity, quality, reproductive state and social status. Fishes can detect near-body water movements via the mechanosensory lateral line system, and this sense is used during several common fish behaviors, such as schooling, rheotaxis and predator–prey interactions. In addition, many fish behaviors, such as aggressive lateral displays and reproductive body quivers, involve fin and body motions that generate water movements that can be detected by the lateral line system of nearby fish. This mechanosensory system is well studied for its role in obstacle avoidance and detection of inadvertent hydrodynamic cues generated during schooling and predator–prey interactions; however, little research has focused on the role of mechanosensory communication during social interactions. Here, we summarize the current literature on the use of mechanosensation-mediated behaviors during agonistic and reproductive encounters, as well as during parental care. Based on these studies, we hypothesize that mechanosensory signaling is an important but often overlooked mode of communication during conspecific social interactions in many fish species, and we highlight its importance during multimodal communication. Finally, we suggest potential avenues of future research that would allow us to better understand the role of mechanosensation in fish communication.

Published: September 2016

Tourism is traditionally a priority sphere of Crimean economy development. This work is aimed to carry out a factor analysis of tourism development indicators of in coastal destinations in the Republic of Crimea and to identify the most significant parameters having a significant influence on the formation of the tourist flow.
This research is relevant because the financial and economic crisis, the decline in foreign investment volumes and prolongation of sanctions force to look for new approaches to the development of the state economy and its separate territories. Estimation of development prospects of international tourism allowed to establish that tourism - one of the most dynamic activities of the global economy. The authors give results of analysis of development trends of Crimean tourism. They show that tourism, despite the negative dynamics of individual indicators of financial and economic activity of the sanatorium and tourism enterprises in 2014, has great potential and is a priority activity of the Crimean economy. The authors propose to consider a destination as the ecological and economic system that prove the possibility of engaging tourist flows in the recreational area without compromising the sustainability of the natural environment. The indicators of tourism development in Crimea destinations are analyzed. They are grouped into two blocks - resulting and factor. The results of factor analysis revealed a high level of correlation between natural resources of destinations and the viability of the tourist business in the Republic of Crimea. It is also showed a high level of coherence between the result indicator &#34;number of organized tourists&#34; and the indicator &#34;number of sites of cultural heritage&#34;. Conclusions of previously conducted market research of tourist preferences are confirmed. Vacationers visit the Crimea with one dominant purpose (mainly beach vacation and treatment), and other possibilities of destinations are secondary or have no role in their preferences.
Incompatible European Partners? Cultural Predispositions and Household Financial Behavior
Authors: Haliassos Michael , Jansson Thomas , Karabulut Yigitcan 
Published: September 2016

The recent influx of migrants and refugees into Europe and elsewhere raises questions as to whether migrant behavior reflects cultural predispositions and whether assimilation through exposure to host institutions can be expected. The paper focuses on financial behavior and uses high-quality administrative data on migrants and refugees to Sweden. It uncovers differences across cultural groups in how behavior relates to household characteristics, and shows that differences diminish with exposure to host country institutions, even for large cultural distances. Interestingly, robust cultural classification of European countries based on genetic distance or on Hofstede’s cultural dimensions fails to identify a single “southern” culture but points to a “northern” culture. Our results also have implications for the potential of European institutional harmonization, exogenously imposed during the fiscal crisis, to alleviate cultural differences in financial behavior.

Creating and exploring a desert ecology site on the OpenSim world with middle-school students
Authors: Stokrocki Mary 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Using participant observation methods, I explored middle-school students’ visual literacy introduction to the OpenSim Virtual World, which was hosted by the University of British Columbia. Using their school name theme of the Sonoran Desert, they drew and uploaded their favourite desert creatures and plants on square easel forms/prims, built some dome-structured caves as an installation site, and added pop-up notecards about animal symbolic meanings, as a kind of visual/verbal literacy. Besides overcoming initial technical problems and experimenting with the Build/Design tools, they contacted biology information sites, to learn about desert conditions, animal plight (poaching/predator/prey/pesticide problems), plant acclimatization, and differing opinions about intervention. When students are guided and given appropriate digital art tools, they can create new worlds and explore ecological problems.
‘Skateboarding is like dancing’: Masculinity as a performative visual culture in art education
Authors: Hellman Annika Amelie 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
This article analyses the construction of skateboard masculinity as a performative visual culture, related to the conditions for masculine subject positions in upper secondary school visual art and media education. The empirical material comes from visual ethnographic research in classroom and discourse analysis of one pupil’s skateboarding video and an interview with the same pupil. The results show that the masculinity performed in both the visual art classroom and in pupil’s skate video is complex and moves between homosocial expressions and intimacy, risk-taking and visual culture enacted as being cool and an outsider. The analysis implies a linkage to a neo-liberal ideal in which the values of play and pleasure as a crucial aspect of counterculture are connected to entrepreneurial individualism, consumer creativity and market trends.
(In)visible bodies and cultural imperialism: Jalisco canta en Sevilla/Jalisco Sings in Sevilla, Teatro Apolo/Apollo Theatre and the star discourse of Jorge Negrete in Spain
Authors: Norton Diana 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
In his two Spanish films – Jalisco canta en Sevilla/Jalisco sings in Sevilla (1948) and Teatro Apolo/Apollo Theatre (1949) – Jorge Negrete plays characters that travel to Spain for financial reasons and remain for love of a Spanish woman. This discourse legitimizes a criollo identity that removes him from the discourse of mexicanidad as defined by mestizaje. While it has been argued that the romantic relationships of these films represent a convivencia [coexistence] between Mexico and Spain, such a reading does not account for the complex identity constructions of Golden Age Mexican cinema. As Mexican identity consolidated around mestizaje, industrialization, urban migration and social mobility, Negrete’s Spanish films ignore this discourse and exclude his participation within it. I will use Said’s ‘structures of attitude and reference’ to illuminate the discourse of Hispanidad that marked the creation of these films. I aim to reveal the invisibility of the industrializing Mexican nation within them and propose that Jorge Negrete’s unique position within the discourse of Hispanidad has led to his invisibility in the scholarship of male Mexican film stars of the 1940s.
‘I haven’t done anything wrong!’ Melodrama and victimization in Las 13 rosas/13 Roses (2007) and La voz dormida/The Sleeping Voice (2011)
Authors: Rodríguez-Solás David 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
This article examines two films about the Spanish Civil War that feature victims as protagonists: Las 13 rosas/13 Roses (Martínez Lázaro, 2007) and La voz dormida/The Sleeping Voice (Zambrano, 2011). Drawing from studies of melodrama, the article offers an examination of the representation of Francoist repression through visual narration in these films, suggesting they use an affective filter that impedes audience’s critical reflection. The article ends by discussing victimization and spectatorship in relation to Rancière’s ideas of the emancipated spectator. It explores how the audience’s experiences might have been affected by the fact that debates on historical memory, which were prominent at the time of the release of these films, were downplayed in both films.
The Impact of Implementing an "Incredible Years" Group Within a Family Living Unit in a Transitional Living Shelter: The Case of "Cathy"
Authors: Rogers Karen C. , Bobich Michelle , Heppell Patrick 
Published: September 2016

Young children who experience homelessness have a markedly increased risk of behavior disorders. This case study illustrates the impact of the "Incredible Years" (IY) program, an evidence-supported group psychotherapy intervention, on "Cathy," a 4-year-old Latina girl with externalizing behaviors who was living in a transitional program for homeless women and children. Adaptations of the model to address the child and family’s trauma history and to allow for its implementation in a residential program are delineated. Qualitative and quantitative data support that the IY group had a positive impact on Cathy and her family and led to significant symptom decreases in externalizing behaviors and PTSD symptoms, as well as an improvement in the quality of child and parent interactions. Additionally, recommendations for future studies and treatment considerations and adaptations for this underserved population are addressed.

摘要
近年来，随着中国社会产生的一系列巨大变化，语言使用也产生了相应的变化，其中城市的变化最大。以上海为例，二十多年前，上海话具有 “权威性”，是上海市区的主要使用语，而在一代人之后的今天，普通话已经取而代之。如此快速而大规模的变化为语言学家提供一个极好而难得的研究题目。本文介绍我们对上海常住人口的语言选择和使用度进行的研究。结果显示，普通话的总体使用度为 55%，上海话为 30%，英语为 7%，其他为 8%。这个结果从量化的角度证实了一些媒体和学者们的观察，即上海话的 “权威性” 已不再有，它已不再是上海市的主要交流工具。语言的选择和使用也跟年龄有关，即年龄越小，上海话用的越少。最后，本文试图从人口成分变化以及上海话的地位变化来探讨上海的语言选择和使用现状。
Change in Microwave-Absorbing Characteristics during the Oxidation Processes of an Ilmenite Concentrate
Authors: Li Wei , Meng Binfang , Wang Xinying , Liu Yuqi , Zhang Libo 
Published: September 2016

AbstractMicrowave-absorbing characteristics of the oxidized ilmenite concentrate were measured by the method of microwave cavity perturbation. The effects of particle size, oxidation temperature and oxidation time on the microwave-absorbing characteristics were investigated. The particle size, oxidation temperature and oxidation time have substantial impact on the microwave-absorbing characteristics of the sample and therefore the microwave heating performance during the oxidation processes of the ilmenite concentrate. Results indicated that at the same oxidation time, the microwave absorbing characteristics decreased as the oxidation temperature increased, and at a constant temperature, the microwave absorbing characteristics of the sample decreased as the oxidation time increased. The microwave absorbing characteristics of the ilmenite concentrate with 80–120 mesh particle size was stronger than that of 200 mesh particle size. The microwave absorbing characteristics of products oxidized at 900 °C for 30 min were slightly weaker than those treated at 800 °C for 30 min and 900 °C for 20 min. The sample becomes less efficient in absorbing microwave energy as the oxidation proceeds. It is therefore recommended strong microwave absorbing materials or conventional heating be applied at the late stage of oxidation to aid microwave heating.

AbstractIn this paper, the inviscid limit behavior of solution of the fractional complex Ginzburg–Landau (FCGL) equation$${\partial _t}u + (a + i\nu){\Lambda ^{2\alpha}}u + (b + i\mu){\left| u \right|^{2\sigma}}u = 0, \quad (x, t) \in {{\Cal T}^n} \times (0, \infty)$$is considered. It is shown that the solution of the FCGL equation converges to the solution of nonlinear fractional complex Schrödinger equation, while the initial data${u_0}$is taken in${L^2}, $${H^\alpha}$, and${L^{2\sigma + 2}}$as$a,\, b$tends to zero, and the convergence rate is also obtained.
Phonological patterning for English as a lingua franca in Asia: Implications for norms and practice in multilingual Asia
Authors: Low Ee-Ling 
Published: September 2016

AbstractWith the rapid economic development and the increasing activities in trade, education, cultural events, and tourism in Asia, more and more people are using English as a lingua franca (ELF). The Asian Corpus of English (ACE) project has, as one of its defining goals, the collection of a million-word corpus of naturally occurring speech in order to analyse and describe the distinctive linguistic features of Asian ELF and to identify shared features if any. However, little research has been done hitherto on the features of ELF in the Asian context. This paper, therefore, presents a description of the phonological patterns found in ELF. Specifically, the paper focuses, inter alia, on the monophthong vowels and rhythmic patterning in the spoken interactions of ELF speakers from the data as well as the implications for policy and practice of ELF in multilingual Asia. The study is based on the Asian Corpus of English (ACE) data collected in Singapore by the National Institute of Education (NIE) team. Participants in the study include speakers from China, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia and India. The paper aims to deepen the boundaries of thinking about shared pronunciation patternings of ELF speakers in Asia and considers the implications of such shared patternings and norms on practice in multilingual Asia.
Heuristic theory in corpus compilation
Authors: Patkin John 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Building the Asian Corpus of English (ACE, 2014) involved complex interactions between researchers, participants, transcription conventions, software and hardware. The gathering and transcribing of naturally occurring conversations of English among Asian multilinguals was undertaken by a team of more than twenty researchers in nine locations across Asia. Modelled on the Vienna Oxford Corpus of English (VOICE), ACE faced unique challenges due to linguistic, cultural and geographical differences. These problems were solved through procedures and tools known as heuristics which were built on prior experience and also trial and error. The process of developing and categorising these skills are presented with experiences shared by ACE researchers and the author along with examples from the corpus.
Review of Microwave Photonics Technique to Generate the Microwave Signal by Using Photonics Technology
Authors: Raghuwanshi Sanjeev Kumar , Srivastav Akash 
Published: September 2016

AbstractMicrowave photonics system provides high bandwidth capabilities of fiber optic systems and also contains the ability to provide interconnect transmission properties, which are virtually independent of length. The low-loss wide bandwidth capability of optoelectronic systems makes them attractive for the transmission and processing of microwave signals, while the development of high-capacity optical communication systems has required the use of microwave techniques in optical transmitters and receivers. These two strands have led to the development of the research area of microwave photonics. So, we can considered microwave photonics as the field that studies the interaction between microwave and optical waves for applications such as communications, radars, sensors and instrumentations. In this paper we have thoroughly reviewed the microwave generation techniques by using photonics technology.

Channel Model Optimization with Reflection Residual Component for Indoor MIMO-VLC System
Authors: Chen Yong , Li Tengfei , Liu Huanlin , Li Yichao 
Published: September 2016

AbstractA fast channel modeling method is studied to solve the problem of reflection channel gain for multiple input multiple output-visible light communications (MIMO-VLC) in the paper. For reducing the computational complexity when associating with the reflection times, no more than 3 reflections are taken into consideration in VLC. We think that higher order reflection link consists of corresponding many times line of sight link and firstly present reflection residual component to characterize higher reflection (more than 2 reflections). We perform computer simulation results for point-to-point channel impulse response, receiving optical power and receiving signal to noise ratio. Based on theoretical analysis and simulation results, the proposed method can effectively reduce the computational complexity of higher order reflection in channel modeling.
The Effect of Warming Oceans at a Tide Gauge
Station
Authors: Bâki Iz H. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
This study proposes a new paradigm for assessing
thermosteric effects of warming oceans at a tide gauge
station. For demonstration, the trend due to the global
thermosteric sea level at the Key West, FL tide gauge station
was estimated using the tide gauge measurements
and the global sea surface temperature anomalies that
were represented by yearly distributed lags. A comparison
of the estimate with the trend estimate from a descriptive
model revealed that 0.7±0.1 mm/yr, (p<0.01), of the total
trend 2.2±0.1 mm/yr (p<0.01) estimated using the descriptive
model can be attributed to the global warming of the
oceans during the last century at this station. The remaining
1.5±0.1 mm/yr, 70 percent of the total trend, is the lump
sum estimate of the secular changes due to the eustatic,
halosteric, and various local isostatic contributions.
Corrosion of reinforced steel in the environment of blast furnace slag and steelmaking slag
Authors: Rodziňák D. , Halama M. , Čerňan J. , Kovalčíková M. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
This article focuses on corrosion of the steel reinforcement in the concrete where the blast or demetalized steelmaking slag as one of the components for fabrication was used. The slag from iron and steel production from U.S. Steel Kosice was used in the experiment. Steel reinforcement type S 235 (STN 11 375) were made by cold drawing. Chemical composition of slag in form of powder and slag leachates was analysed using X-ray fl uorescence spectrometry. Corrosion tests were carried out by measuring the polarization curves based on potentiodynamic polarization of steel samples exposed in leachate and also by polarization resistance method directly on the steel embedded in concrete and exposed in atmospheric precipitation. The results revealed differences in the corrosion rate, depending on chemical composition of the slag, which is closely related to its metallic and sulphur content.
