Published: January 2015

The taxonomy and geographic distribution of the freshwater crabs of the family Pseudothelphusidae Ortmann, 1893, of Costa Rica, Central America, particularly of the genus Ptychophallus Smalley, 1964, are revised. Historical materials deposited in major collections of several institutions were examined, as well as valuable collections in the Zoological Museum of the University of Costa Rica that include abundant specimens obtained recently (2007–2010) in the southern region of the country. The pseudothelphusids of Costa Rica consists of 15 currently valid species belonging to Achlidon Smalley, 1964 (two species), Allacanthos Smalley, 1964 (two species), Potamocarcinus H. Milne Edwards, 1853 (three species), and Ptychophallus (eight species). Two species seem to be restricted to the Atlantic drainage, while seven are known only from the Pacific drainage; six species occur in both drainages. Ptychophallus comprises 13 valid species; four new synonymies are proposed: P. osaensis Rodríguez, 2001, P. campylus Pretzmann, 1968, P. tumimanus ingae Pretzmann, 1978, and P. barbillaensis Rodríguez & Hedström, 2001, as junior synonyms of P. paraxantusi (Bott, 1968), P. tristani (Rathbum 1896), P. tumimanus (Rathbun, 1898), and P. uncinatus Campos & Lemaitre, 1999, respectively. Two species, P. colombianus (Rathbun, 1896) and P. exilipes (Rathbun, 1898), are considered species inquerendae. Lectotype designations are made for P. montanus and P. colombianus. Three species of Ptychophallus are known exclusively from Costa Rica, five exclusively from Panama, and five species occur in both countries; one species appears to be exclusive of the Atlantic drainage, whereas five are known only from the Pacific drainage and seven occur in both drainages. The gonopod morphology of all species is redescribed and illustrated, and maps of their geographic distribution are furnished. A key to the species of Pseudothelphusidae from Costa Rica and to all species of Ptychophallus is provided.
A language that forgot itself (Essay on the curious non-existence of German as a recognized minority language in today’s Poland)

A language that forgot itself (Essay on the curious non-existence of German as a recognized minority language in today’s Poland)This essay draws on my almost three decades worth of research on the multiethnic and multilingual history of Upper Silesia during the last two centuries, when various ethnolinguistic nationalisms have radically altered the ethnic, political, demographic and linguistic shape of the region. I focus on the German minority that was recognized in Poland in the early 1990s. This recognition was extended to the German language. However, though in official statistics there are hundreds of schools with German, and bilingual signage amply dots the Upper Silesian landscape, neither in the region nor elsewhere in Poland is there a single, however small, locality where German would be the language of everyday communication. With this essay I attempt to explicate this irony of official recognition on the one hand, and the tacitly enforced non-existence on the ground, on the other hand.
Status gazety „Politika” w Jugosławii Karađorđeviciów (1918–1941)
Authors: Morawski Konrad Sebastian 
Published: January 2015

Status of the newspaper “Politika” in Karađorđevićs’ Yugoslavia (1918-1941)The newspaper Politika was founded on 25 January 1904 by Vladislav F. Ribnikar. Since that time the Serbian Press market has begun to develop, and the Politika permanently has taken the important role up to this day. The newspaper witnessed important events in the Balkans in the twentieth century and the early twenty-first century but at the same time it was also under strong influence of Serbian centers of political authority. One example of such an influence was the status of the Politika in the period during the reign of Karađorđević dynasty in Yugoslavia, in 1918-1941. The newspaper then served a propaganda function for the royal court, particularly in 1929-1934. Then king Aleksander ruled in an authoritarian way and Politika played an important part in the country. The mechanism of functioning of the newspaper in the period of the royal authoritarianism, as well as in the remaining years of the interwar Yugoslavia was thus discussed in the article to help clarify the status of Politika under the rule of Karađorđevićs. Status gazety „Politika” w Jugosławii Karađorđeviciów (1918–1941)Gazeta pod nazwą „Politika” została założona 25 stycznia 1904 roku przez Vladislava F. Ribnikara. Od tego czasu zaczął kształtować się serbski rynek prasowy, w którym „Politika” trwale zajmuje istotne miejsce do dzisiejszego dnia. Gazeta była świadkiem ważnych i doniosłych wydarzeń na Bałkanach w XX wieku i na początku XXI wieku, ale zarazem znajdowała się również w strefie ścisłych wpływów politycznych serbskich ośrodków władzy. Jednym z przykładów takiego wpływu był status „Politiki” w okresie panowania dynastii Karađorđeviciów w Jugosławii w latach 1918–1941. Gazeta pełniła wtedy funkcję propagandową dworu królewskiego, co dało się szczególnie zauważyć w latach 1929–1934. Wtedy bowiem król Aleksander I sprawował autorytarne rządy w państwie, których ważną częścią stała się „Politika”. Mechanizm funkcjonowania gazety zarówno w okresie autorytaryzmu królewskiego, jak i w pozostałych latach międzywojennej Jugosławii został więc poddany omówieniu, które umożliwiło wyjaśnienie statusu „Politiki” pod panowaniem Karađorđeviciów.
Fire-Modified Meteorology in a Coupled Fire–Atmosphere Model

Published: January 2015

AbstractThe coupled fire–atmosphere model consisting of the Weather and Forecasting (WRF) Model coupled with the fire-spread model (SFIRE) module has been used to simulate a bushfire at D’Estrees Bay on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, in December 2007. Initial conditions for the simulations were provided by two global analyses: the GFS operational analysis and ERA-Interim. For each NWP initialization, the simulations were run with and without feedback from the fire to the atmospheric model. The focus of this study was examining how the energy fluxes from the simulated fire modified the local meteorological environment. With feedback enabled, the propagation speed of the sea-breeze frontal line was faster and vertical motion in the frontal zone was enhanced. For one of the initial conditions with feedback on, a vortex developed adjacent to the head fire and remained present for over 5 h of simulation time. The vortex was not present without fire–atmosphere feedback. The results show that the energy fluxes released by a fire can effect significant changes on the surrounding mesoscale atmosphere. This has implications for the appropriate use of weather parameters extracted from NWP and used in prediction for fire operations. These meteorological modifications also have implications for anticipating likely fire behavior.

Abstract
The ongoing Phased Array Radar Innovative Sensing Experiment (PARISE) investigates the impacts of higher-temporal-resolution radar data on the warning decision process of NWS forecasters. Twelve NWS forecasters participated in the 2013 PARISE and were assigned to either a control (5-min updates) or an experimental (1-min updates) group. Participants worked two case studies in simulated real time. The first case presented a marginally severe hail event, and the second case presented a severe hail and wind event. While working each event, participants made decisions regarding the detection, identification, and reidentification of severe weather. These three levels compose what has now been termed the compound warning decision process. Decisions were verified with respect to the three levels of the compound warning decision process and the experimental group obtained a lower mean false alarm ratio than the control group throughout both cases. The experimental group also obtained a higher mean probability of detection than the control group throughout the first case and at the detection level in the second case. Statistical significance (p value = 0.0252) was established for the difference in median lead times obtained by the experimental (21.5 min) and control (17.3 min) groups. A confidence-based assessment was used to categorize decisions into four types: doubtful, uninformed, misinformed, and mastery. Although mastery (i.e., confident and correct) decisions formed the largest category in both groups, the experimental group had a larger proportion of mastery decisions, possibly because of their enhanced ability to observe and track individual storm characteristics through the use of 1-min updates.

Published: January 2015

Abstract
CO catalytic oxidation and its consecutive chemisorption were evaluated using Na2ZrO3 as a possible bifunctional catalyst. The CO oxidation–chemisorption processes were compared with the CO2 chemisorption on sodium zirconate. The results clearly showed that CO can be oxidized, at T ≥ 200 °C, and then chemisorbed as CO2 in Na2ZrO3. These results may be of great interest for the development of high-temperature gas-separation systems, such as syngas among others.

Abstract
The rate constants for the adsorption of water and nitrogen onto ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 were determined at 298 and 77 K, respectively, using the novel pressure-feedback method (PFM) that measures the rate of adsorption directly. The rate constant for the adsorption of water is smaller than that of nitrogen, even though the adsorption of water was measured at a higher temperature (298 K) than that of nitrogen (77 K).

India launched Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission in 2009, which aims to set up 20 000 MW of grid connected solar power, besides 2 000 MW equivalent of off-grid applications and cumulative growth of solar thermal collector area to 20 million m2 by 2022. Availability of reliable and accurate solar radiation data is crucial to achieve the targets. As a result of this initiative, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) of Government of India (GoI) has awarded a project to Centre for Wind Energy Technology (C-WET), Chennai in the year 2011 to set up 51 Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) stations using the state-of-the-art equipment in various parts of the country, especially the sites with high potential for solar power. The GoI project has synergy with SolMap project, which is implemented by the Deutsche GesellschaftfürInternationaleZusammenarbeit (GIZ) in cooperation with the MNRE. SolMap project is contributing to SRRA project in establishing quality checks on the data obtained as per International protocols and helping data processing to generate investment grade data. The paper highlights the details of SRRA stations and an attempt has been made to present some of the important results of quality control and data analysis with respect to GHI and DNI. While our analysis of the data over one year finds that intensity and profile of the insolation are not uniform across the geographic regions, the variability in DNI is particularly high. Strong influence of monsoon is also identified. SRRA infrastructure aims to develop investment grade solar radiation resource information to assist project activities under the National Solar Mission of India.

Published: January 2015

BACKGROUND:
The incidence of meningococcal disease is currently at historic lows in the United States; however, incidence remains highest among infants aged &lt;1 year. With routine use of Haemophilus influenzae type b and pneumococcal vaccines in infants and children in the United States, Neisseria meningitidis remains an important cause of bacterial meningitis in young children.

METHODS:
Data were collected from active, population- and laboratory-based surveillance for N meningitidis conducted through Active Bacterial Core surveillance during 2006 through 2012. Expanded data collection forms were completed for infant cases identified in the surveillance area during 2006 through 2010.

RESULTS:
An estimated 113 cases of culture-confirmed meningococcal disease occurred annually among infants aged &lt;1 year in the United States from 2006 through 2012, for an overall incidence of 2.74 per 100 000 infants. Among these cases, an estimated 6 deaths occurred. Serogroup B was responsible for 64%, serogroup C for 12%, and serogroup Y for 16% of infant cases. Based on the expanded data collection forms, a high proportion of infant cases (36/58, 62%) had a smoker in the household and the socioeconomic status of the census tracts where infant meningococcal cases resided was lower compared with the other Active Bacterial Core surveillance areas and the United States as a whole.

CONCLUSIONS:
The burden of meningococcal disease remains highest in young infants and serogroup B predominates. Vaccines that provide long-term protection early in life have the potential to reduce the burden of meningococcal disease, especially if they provide protection against serogroup B meningococcal disease.
Effect of Ti addition on density and microstructure development of MoSiBTiC alloy

Published: January 2015

ABSTRACTThe effect of Ti addition on the density and microstructure development of MoSiBTiC alloy was investigated. Two kinds of MoSiBTiC alloys with the composition of Mo-5Si-10B-10Ti-10C (10Ti alloy) and Mo-5Si-10B-15Ti-10C (15Ti alloy) (at. %) were prepared by conventional arc-melting. The primary phase of as-cast 10Ti and 15Ti alloys was (Ti,Mo)C, and there were two eutectic phases of Moss + (Ti,Mo)C and Moss + T2 + (Ti,Mo)C in the alloys. In addition, 10Ti alloy had a Moss + T2 + (Mo,Ti)2C eutectic. There was no Moss + T2 + (Mo,Ti)2C eutectic in the 15Ti alloy, and thus it is apparent that the (Mo,Ti)2C formation was suppressed by 5 at. % Ti addition. The volume fraction of (Ti,Mo)C increased and thus the density reduced from 8.78 to 8.43 g/cm3 with the Ti addition. In all constituent phases, Ti concentration increased while Mo concentration decreased. In spite of the changes, hardness, Young’s modulus and shear modulus were hardly changed. Therefore, Ti addition seems to be effective to further lower the density without deteriorating mechanical properties of the MoSiBTiC alloy.
Fluid Flow Within a Porous Medium Near a Diamond Core Bit

Published: January 2015

Abstract
A laboratory coring program using diamond microbits and water-based mud to core in sandstone samples was carried out to investigate pressure and fluid flow behaviour in the rock near a working bit. The work was specifically designed to answer the questions:What effects do borehole-to-formation differential pressure (overbalance) and associated filtrate invasion have on reservoir fluid saturations during the coring process?Under what conditions is it feasible to core for residual oil saturations?
The results of the study indicate that over a considerable range of normally encountered conditions, residual oil values within the core will be reduced during the coring operation. In the system employed, this oil stripping varied directly with overbalance, filtrate production rate, core diameter and core permeability; it varied inversely with penetration rate and was affected by mud properties. Up to 60 per cent of the residual oil was stripped from the rock under severe coring conditions. Pressure gradients and permeability damage were high near the bit and diminished rapidly with distance from the bit.
Trends observed in the laboratory suggest that overbalance pressure is the prime factor in oil-stripping behaviour and should be kept low to minimize stripping in the field. Mud composition, especially particle size control, and penetration rate also appear to be important variables.
Geological Study of the Middle Devonian Gilwood Arkoses in the Nipisi Area, Alberta
Authors: Thachuk N.M. 
Published: January 2015

This paper is a compendium of a geological study of the Devonian Watt Mountain sedimentary sequence in the Nipisi field. An understanding of the genesis and distribution of the Gilwood sandstones is of prime importance in feasibility considerations with regard to secondary recovery.
The Gilwood sandstone member of the Watt Mountain formation was deposited as a complex of interbedded arkoses and shales along the shoreline of a broad, shallow sea that bordered the eastern flank of the Peace River Precambrian High; this positive element was the source of arkosic detritus deposited in Nipisi. A shallow salt-created depression localized this shoreline, resulting in the deposition of a thin clastic dump or fan-like delta, containing about 50 feet of sandstone.
The Nipisi clastics were divided, on the basis of shale units, into four zones, each zone containing one or more individual sandstone beds. The shale units were deposited during repeated periods of delta inundation and/or as clay drape on the upper deltaic plain. The alluvial sandstones were deposited as sheet-like sand bodies by anastomosing streams flowing over a flat delta surface. The sheet-like nature of these deposits is significant from a waterflooding point of view, since lateral reservoir communication is interpreted to occur in most of the alluvial sandstone zones which form the major portion of the reservoir. Small prodeltaic bars occur along the eastern side of the field; these deposits, unlike the alluvial sands, appear to be small in areal extent and could be isolated reservoir elements having no significant lateral reservoir communicability.
Determination of shear surface of landslides using electrical resistivity tomography
Authors: Dostál Ivan , Putiška René , Kušnirák David 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Geophysical methods offer a broad spectrum of information by dealing with slope deformations. The electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) method is mainly applied for spatial localization of the landslide body and depicting the shear zone position. This article presents the application of the ERT method for the landslide hazardous areas by means of numerical modelling. Four different synthetic models with very small resistivity contrast (30 Ohm.m/50 Ohm.m), where each model represents a different type of slope deformation, were tested by several factors affecting the final inverse model: measurement point density, L1 and L2 norm and L-norm roughness filter components. The higher measurement points density helps mainly to detect the boundaries at greater depths. Inverse models computed using the L1 norm bring satisfactory results for compact anomalous bodies, i.e. water saturated landslide body. In the case of subtle conductive zones, i.e. shear planes, the L2 norm based inversion is recommended. For enhanced reconstruction of skewed anomalous objects, roughness filter including a diagonal component produces more accurate inverse image. The article also demonstrates the ability of the ERT method to detect and describe the shape of the slope deformation even by a relative subtle resistivity contrast

À partir d’étranges formations sensorielles et de théories d’allure délirante dans certains passages adolescents, sont présentées les notions de « créations d’enveloppes sensorielles paradoxales » et de « théories fantastiques de l’adolescence ». Le recours à la sensorialité n’est ni un déficit ni une régression, mais une création paradoxale – protectrice et persécutrice – qui permet d’élaborer dans le transfert les traces refoulées du sexuel infantile inconscient, articulées aux compositions corporelles et fantasmatiques propres à l’adolescence.
Raisonner comme un bijou

Published: January 2015

En 1748, Diderot publie son premier roman, Les Bijoux indiscrets , s’inscrivant dans la veine du conte oriental parodique et libertin à la manière de Crébillon fils. Mais il y a un autre modèle de fiction orientale, celui des Lettres persanes , qui se sert de la trame romanesque pour aborder les débats intellectuels de son temps et mettre en scène les questions philosophiques les plus fondamentales. Trois ans avant la parution du premier volume de l’ Encyclopédie , Diderot expérimente à son tour les possibilités philosophiques de la fiction en inventant une nouvelle forme de philosophie narrative.
Allen Wood et la question de l'immoralisme de Marx
Authors: Hoarau Jacques 
Published: January 2015

Les écrits de Marx contiennent un certain nombre de passages « immoralistes », dans lesquels la morale dans son ensemble est rejetée ou caractérisée comme une illusion idéologique. Cet article est une tentative de comprendre ce que ces passages pourraient signifier, et de voir s’il convient de les prendre au sérieux en tant qu’affirmations de Marx sur la morale. Ces passages peuvent être interprétés comme des attaques contre la morale, par opposition à des valeurs non morales, et si l’on pose que la conception de la moralité de Marx était hégélienne dans certains aspects essentiels, ces attaques peuvent trouver un fondement solide dans la théorie matérialiste de l’histoire de Marx 2 .
