Consumption of oily fish and omega-3 oil supplements in cardiac rehab participants
Authors: Cannon Emer 
Published: July 2014

Aim:To assess the intake (if any) of omega-3 oil supplements and oily fish in a group of cardiac rehabilitation patients, and to determine their barriers to eating oily fish.Methods:Cardiac rehabilitation programme participants (n=80) were asked if they would complete an anonymous questionnaire.Results:49 of the 80 participants completed the survey (response rate of 61%): 54% of respondents were meeting the recommendation for ≥ one portion of oily fish per week. The main reasons for not eating oily fish were that it was too expensive (34.7%) or the participants had not thought about it (26.5%). Twenty-five per cent of respondents reported taking over-the-counter fish oil supplements.Conclusions and recommendations:The main barriers to eating oily fish could potentially be reduced through focused education as part of the cardiac rehabilitation programme. From the literature and cost review, it seems it would be financially beneficial for participants to spend their money on oily fish or other aspects of a healthy diet rather than omega-3 oil supplements.
Haemochromatosis: the role of the HCA and the AP in tackling iron overload
Authors: Peate Ian 
Published: July 2014

This article provides the healthcare assistant and assistant practitioner (HCA and AP) with an overview of the genetic (inherited) condition, haemochromatosis, sometimes called ‘iron overload’. It is sometimes difficult to make a diagnosis of haemochromatosis, as the signs and symptoms are nonspecific. The signs and symptoms that are usually associated with the condition are outlined and the various tests and investigations needed to make a diagnosis are considered. The care and management of the person with haemochromatosis is described; phlebotomy is the mainstay of treatment and there is an emphasis on diet and the need to attend for regular follow up/outpatient appointments. Finally, a glossary of terms is provided.
Branded city living: Taipei becoming-Paris in Yi ye Taibei/Au Revoir Taipei (2010)
Authors: Martin-Jones David 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
This article analyses Yi ye Taibei/Au Revoir Taipei (Chen, 2010). Due to its status as a co-production (with talent drawn from across borders, its various international funding sources and its deliberate appeal to global audiences through the festival circuit), the film is seen to provide a transnational perspective on Taipei. In this the film’s relationship with a film tourism agenda, a branding process pursued by the Taipei authorities, is stressed. Au Revoir Taipei’s consideration of life in Taipei, as a ‘branded city’, is analysed in terms of its three becomings (becoming-Paris, becoming-imperceptible, becoming-dance), in relation to Gilles Deleuze’s idea of the time-image (a striking example of which concludes the film) and it’s intertextual referencing of several ‘world’ or ‘art’ cinema classics, including Jean-Luc Godard’s Bande à Part (1964). The film’s transnational view of life in the branded city is thus understood to emerge at the conjunction of global production and distribution realities for film-making, and contemporary work and lifestyle opportunities in Taipei, the convergence of which create a cinematic construction of Taipei city that can be deciphered using Deleuze’s concepts.
The Sandwich Man: History, episodicity and serial conditioning in a Taiwanese omnibus film
Authors: Diffrient David Scott 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
As a foundational text in the history of the New Taiwanese Cinema, The Sandwich Man (1983) deserves consideration for the ways in which the inherently contradictory omnibus form is deployed for allegorical and meta-filmic purposes. Besides commenting on changes in contemporary Taiwanese society, this transauthorial feature combining the short films of three directors (Hou Hsiao-hsien, Tseng Chuang-hsiang, and Wan Ren) foregrounds a feature of the multi-director form—seriality—that is likewise persistent within the arenas of production, accumulation, and consumption. The author makes a case for The Sandwich Man’s significance within the context of cultural, social, and political changes occurring in Taiwan, a country where mass-production and artisanal practices have long coexisted both within and beyond the film industry. Furthermore, this and other omnibus films activate a mode of ruptured yet invested spectatorship in which audiences are conditioned to expect certain narrative outcomes due to a serial emplotment of similar themes and repeated events. Thus, ‘serial conditioning’ turns spectators into consumers who, confronted with a limited assortment of stories and characters in the span of a single feature-length omnibus film, are encouraged to engage in a selection process that privileges already-canonized auteurs and therefore has commercial implications even in the context of non-commercial art cinema.
Globalization’s bottom: Subtitle and switch in Wang Yu-Lin’s Taiwanese dialect films
Authors: Ma Sheng-mei 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
A large number of contemporary Taiwan films deploy, principally, the Taiwanese dialect (Minnan yu or southern Fujianese) in their multilingual presentation of the island. These Taiwanese-speaking films draw consciously and anti-hegemonically from Taiwan’s subculture and folkways in the countryside, distancing themselves from urban, metropolitan conditions. For instance, Wang Yu-Lin’s Seven Days in Heaven (2010) is a black comedy structured on Taoist funeral services, night market bazaars and the mourning of the father. His Flying Dragon, Dancing Phoenix (2012) is Taiwanese go-ah-hi (folk opera) modernized, yet still based on traditional transvestite dramaturgy. Whereas Taiwanese dialect films present the dizzyingly chaotic, syncretic local palimpsest, the circulation into global cinema flattens and simplifies these films into a single rolling line of English subtitle at the bottom of the screen, about to sink into subconsciousness. Such flattening destroys Taiwanese dialect film’s local conditions, in particular multilinguality that constitutes the islander’s very identity, one that switches spontaneously and restlessly among Taiwanese, Mandarin, Hakanese, aboriginal languages, Japanese and English, the latter four often in the form of popular Nipponized-sinologized words and phrases. Taiwan becomes the codeword for switch on account of its colonial legacy and multiracial, entrepreneurial reality. Its magic lies in rhetorical sleight of hand, rhetorical in part because the island is so trapped politically. This article proceeds to analyse code-switching on the soundtrack and the accompanied subtitles in Wang’s films.

Published: July 2014

Zusammenfassung
Die Digitalisierung von Zeitungen und ihre adäquate Präsentation im Internet ist immer noch eine Herausforderung in dem klassischen Zeitungsland Deutschland, wo die Herstellung und Verbreitung des Mediums auf eine lange und besondere Tradition verweisen kann. In dem Artikel werden die aktuellen Ergebnisse eines Zeitungsdigitalisierungsprojekts vorgestellt, das an der Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Halle durchgeführt wird. Das Projekt ist Teil der Pilotphase zur Zeitungsdigitalisierung, die von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft unterstützt wird und in deren Rahmen verschiedene Bibliotheken mit unterschiedlichen Aufgaben und technischen Verfahren kooperieren. Das Projekt in Halle befasst sich mit der Digitalisierung der Zeitung „Hallisches Tageblatt“, die Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts gegründet und bis zum Jahr 1892 veröffentlicht wurde. In dem Artikel werden die Methoden und Ergebnisse eines OCR-Texts für Frakturschrift und die strukturelle Erschließung der Zeitung dargelegt, aber auch der Stand der Untersuchungen, um ein Verfahren zur persistenten Adressierung von periodischen Schriften und ihren Fragmenten zu etablieren, das eine zuverlässige und nachhaltige Basis für die Zitierfähigkeit von digitalen Quellen für die Forschung bietet. Dieser Teil des Projekts wird durchgeführt in Zusammenarbeit mit der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek. Das Verfahren beruht auf dem Einsatz von Uniform Resource Names (URNs), die als Persistent Identifier (PI) dienen. Die Anwendung der URNs für periodische Werke ist eine Erweiterung des Harvesting Verfahrens von URN Granular, das mittlerweile erfolgreich für monographische Werke implementiert wurde und angewendet wird.
Novel hydrophobization of wood by epoxidized linseed oil. Part 2. Characterization by FTIR spectroscopy and SEM, and determination of mechanical properties and field test performance

Published: July 2014

Abstract
Scots pine samples were impregnated with epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) by means of a two-step process, and the effect of treatments has been studied concerning the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, mechanical properties, moisture uptake, and field test performance. FTIR analysis of ELO-treated samples revealed that part of the ELO epoxy reactive group was chemically bound to the hydroxyl groups of wood. ELO-treated samples have improved dimensional stability, while the mechanical properties were slightly reduced and the moisture uptake was significantly lowered. The field performance of lap joints treated with ELO (90 kg m-3) after 60 months’ exposure showed great improvements in performance, as the average annual moisture content (MC) was maintained at the level of 19.3% compared to 34.6% for lap joints treated with linseed oil (LO). The lap-joint area was not stained, and less discoloration by staining fungi on the external surfaces was observed in ELO-treated samples compared to samples treated with LO.

How Much of the Variation in the Mutation Rate Along the Human Genome Can Be Explained?
Authors: Eyre-Walker Adam , Eyre-Walker Ying Chen 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
It has been claimed recently that it may be possible to predict the rate of de novo mutation of each site in the human genome with a high degree of accuracy [Michaelson et al. (2012), Cell 151: 1431−1442]. We show that this claim is unwarranted. By considering the correlation between the rate of de novo mutation and the predictions from the model of Michaelson et al., we show there could be substantial unexplained variance in the mutation rate. We investigate whether the model of Michaelson et al. captures variation at the single nucleotide level that is not due to simple context. We show that the model captures a substantial fraction of this variation at CpG dinucleotides but fails to explain much of the variation at non-CpG sites.
Parallel Genome-Wide Fixation of Ancestral Alleles in Partially Outcrossing Experimental Populations ofCaenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Chandler Christopher H 
Published: July 2014

AbstractExperimental evolution studies, coupled with new advances in DNA sequencing technology, have become a powerful tool for exploring how populations respond to selection at the genomic level. Recent experiments in microbes typically have found evidence for multiple novel mutations, which are usually fixed. In contrast, in animal model systems, evolutionary responses seem to involve more modest changes in the frequencies of pre-existing alleles, probably because these populations outcross and are usually initialized with greater levels of standing variation. In this experiment, I used whole-genome resequencing to estimate allele frequencies and look for novel substitutions in experimentally evolved populations of Caenorhabditis elegans. These populations were founded with a fixed pair of deleterious mutations introgressed into multiple wild genetic backgrounds and allowed to evolve for 50 generations with a mixed mating system. There is evidence for some recombination between ancestral haplotypes, but selective sweeps seem to have resulted in the fixation of large chromosomal segments throughout most of the genome. In addition, a few new mutations were detected. Simulations suggest that strong selection and low outcrossing rates are likely explanations for the observed outcomes, consistent with earlier work showing large fitness increases in these populations over 50 generations. These results also show clear parallels to population genetic patterns in C. elegans in nature: recent selective sweeps, high linkage disequilibrium, and low effective recombination rates. Thus, the genomic consequences of selection depend heavily on the biology of the organism in question, including its mating system and levels of genetic variation.
Dose Estimate in Treatment and Disposal of Contaminated Materials due to the Accident at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant
Authors: Takeda Seiji , Sawaguchi Takuma , Kimura Hideo 
Published: July 2014

ABSTRACTSome kinds of material in the environment due to the accident at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant have been contaminated by radioactive cesium (134Cs and 137Cs), which are represented by dehydrated sludge, surface soil and disaster wastes generated by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Treatment (transportation, temporary storage and incineration) and disposal of the contaminated materials should be carried out while ensuring the safety of radiation for the workers and the public. In this study, in order to provide the technical information for making the criteria, the dose estimation for scenarios on the treatment and disposal is conducted, based on the method used for driving the clearance levels in Japan. Minimum radioactive cesium concentration in contaminated material, that is, limiting activity concentration which is practicable for ordinary treatment and/or disposal, is calculated from the dose results, corresponding to the effective dose criteria indicated by the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan. From the calculation result, it is suggested that it is necessary to forbid reusing the disposal site as construction, resident and agriculture in which the calculated doses for the public are higher than those in the other exposure pathways. Limiting concentration of radioactive cesium (134Cs and 137Cs) is derived to be 8,900Bq/kg for the external exposure pathway in landfill work under the condition of limited reuse of the site. In the case of the concentration below 8,900Bq/kg, the calculated dose of the resident due to direct and sky-shine radiation scattered in the air and ground from the interim storage place is less than 1mSv/y, irrespective of the distance from the storage place.
Phase diagram of the system CaSO4—K2SO4—KNO3—Ca(NO3)2—H2O

Published: July 2014

Abstract
Potassium nitrate as a fertilizer suitable for greenhouse and hydroponic applications can be prepared by the reaction of potassium sulphate with calcium nitrate. However, it may happen that simultaneously with the precipitation of gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) also two other binary salts, viz. syngenite (K2SO4·CaSO4·H2O) and görgeyite (K2SO4·5CaSO4·H2O) can crystallize. This would lower the yield of KNO3. For minimization of potassium loss we have to determine the conditions under which syngenite and görgeyite crystallize. As a useful tool for the quantitative determination of specific hydrates, simultaneous DTA/TG technique appeared. Each hydrate decomposes at a certain temperature. The loss of water at dehydration can be used for a quantitative determination of the amount of the hydrate in the precipitating solid phase. Based on the experimental data several conclusions can be drawn: (i) excess of calcium cations lowers the concentration of sulphate ions in the liquid phase together with lowering of contents of syngenite and görgeyite in the solid phase; (ii) higher content of water results in a higher solubility of sulphate ions; (iii) joint crystallization of syngenite and gypsum occurs in the composition area interesting from the point of KNO3 production; (iv) area of the primary crystallization of görgeyite does not exist in the phase diagram at 80 °C. However, görgeyite crystallizes at the molar ratio Ca(NO3)2:K2SO4 = 1:1 by ternary crystallization; (v) area of crystallization of pure gypsum is shifted to lower ratio Ca(NO3)2:K2SO4 by the addition of water to the system.

Identification of biodegradation products of biphenyl and 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl (2,3-DHB)
Authors: Murínová Slavomíra , Dercová Katarína , Tarábek Peter , Tölgyessy Peter 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
We investigated the degradation of biphenyl and identified main degradation products. Biphenyl and 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl (2,3-DHB) was added to cultivation media to identify whole collection of degradation products of four bacterial strains isolated from long-term PCB contaminated soil (Alcaligenes xylosoxidans and Pseudomonas stutzeri) and long-term PCB contaminated sediment (Ochrobactrum anthropi and Pseudomonas veronii). Cultivation flasks were processed in different time after inoculation to determine biphenyl fission rate. Alcaligenes xylosoxidans was revealed as the most appropriate strain for bioremediation process with the highest biphenyl transformation rate. Biphenyl degradation led to the formation of benzoic acid. However, as the presence of 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhex-2,4-dienoic acid (HOPDA) was not confirmed, the transformation pathway common for many other bacteria is probably modified.
Lectin detection of cell surface saccharides remodeling induced by development of P-glycoprotein mediated multidrug resistance phenotype in L1210 leukemia cells
Authors: Šereš Mário , Pavlíková Lucia , Sulová Zdena , Breier Albert 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
P-glycoprotein is an ATP dependent drug efflux pump the expression of which is responsible for strong depression of cell sensitivities to large group of structurally unrelated substances in neoplastic cells. We found that the expression of this protein in mice leukemia cells L1210 is associated with massive remodeling of cell surface saccharides. This remodeling is consistent with the alteration of cellular contents of UDP-sugars, glycogen and glycoproteins when P-gp positive and P-gp negative L1210 cell variants were compared. The current paper is focused on bringing the state of art information about this topic.

Published: July 2014

Abstract
A bacterial strain was isolated from Pasinler hot spring, Erzurum, Turkey. The purified thermophilic isolate was identified as Geobacillus pallidus P26 and used to produce extracellular pectin lyase (EC 4.2.2.10). Pectin lyase enzyme was purified 34 fold by using DEAE-cellulose anion exchange column chromatography and characterized. Molecular weight of the enzyme was determined as 56 kDa by using Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography. Purification of enzyme was verified by SDS-PAGE. The pH- and temperature optima of enzyme were determined (pH 9.0 and 60°C, respectively). Pectin lyase was mostly stable at 50 oC for 24 hours. Its’ activity decreased to 50 % for 24 h at 60°C. KM and Vmax were calculated as 24.8 mg/mL and 2.28 μmol/L min, respectively. Purified pectin lyase was inhibited by Fe3+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Ca2+, Co2+ and Hg2+ but not by Mg2+. The purified pectin lyase enzyme was used for getting fruits juices. It was found that yields of fruits juices increased when they were compared with control.

Apparatus for Determining the Hardness of Cigarettes as Deduced "Modulus of Hardness" / Ableitung des Härtemoduls als belastungsunabhängiges Mass der Cigarettenhärte
Authors: Bethmann M , Boettcher H 
Published: July 2014

Abstract
1. An apparatus designed by the Scientific Department of the company Martin Brinkmann AG is presented for determining the hardness of cigarettes, i.e. their degree of filling. The deformation of test pieces caused by several measuring arms of identical weight is measured in a prism at the rate of 30 pieces per minute.
2. The intensity of the deforming forces is calculated. This calculation does take into account the changes in shape produced by both the arms and the positional support in the measuring prism. A unit of measure termed ''modulus of hardness" (Haerte-Modul) is established by formal analogy with the modulus of elasticity.
3. The relations existing between the deformations caused respectively by the arms (a) and by the support (a'), the measurable value of the total deformation (agem) and the modulus of hardness are deduced from tables correspondingly set up by reckoning. The deduction is based on the cross-sectional area of the power of the arm application (1 mm) to the exclusion of longitudinal forces and, furthermore, on the postulated fact of cigarettes being ideally cylindrical and in themselves homogeneous bodies.
4. The experimentally proved fulfilment of Hooke's Law confirms the truth of the authors' theoretical suppositions. The relative deformation is found to be proportional to the load, if the calculation of the deformation is made according to the chord and not according to the circular arc. The results hitherto obtained show the measured values to depend only to a small extent on the calibre of the test piece.
5. The values determined on the basis of the modulus of hardness thus deduced are found to quantitatively and qualitatively represent the cigarette's physical property in question to an optimum extent. They are shown to be plausible with regard to the modulus of elasticity of other materials commonly used as for example rubber. The hardness values ascertained prove to be inversely proportional to the logarithm of the duration of load application. It is above all the influence exerted by the duration of load application that makes the hardness values of cigarettes differ from the elasticity values of other materials.
6. The particular conditions of the measurement of the hardness of filter cigarettes as well as the influence exercised by longitudinal forces on the measurement of filter rods are pointed out.
