Published: August 2013

The increased popularity and functionality of mobile devices has a number of implications for the delivery of mental health services. Effective use of mobile applications has the potential to (a) increase access to evidence‐based care; (b) better inform consumers of care and more actively engage them in treatment; (c) increase the use of evidence‐based practices; and (d) enhance care after formal treatment has concluded. The current paper presents an overview of the many potential uses of mobile applications as a means to facilitate ongoing care at various stages of treatment. Examples of current mobile applications in behavioural treatment and research are described, and the implications of such uses are discussed. Finally, we provide recommendations for methods to include mobile applications into current treatment and outline future directions for evaluation.

Resource allocation in cloud virtual machines based on empirical service traces
Authors: Lin Ching‐Huang , Lu Chien‐Tung , Chen Ying‐Hsien , Li Jung‐Shian 
Published: August 2013

SUMMARYOne of the key technologies in cloud computing is virtualization. Using virtualization, a system can optimize usage of resources, simplify management of infrastructure and software, and reduce hardware requirements. This research focuses on infrastructure as a service, resource allocation by providers for consumers, and explores the optimization of system utilization based on actual service traces of a real world cloud computing site. Before activating additional virtual machines (VM) for applications, the system examines CPU usage in the resource pools. The behavior of each VM can be estimated by monitoring the CPU usage for different types of services, and consequently, additional resources added or idle resources released. Based on historical observations of the required resources for each kind of service, the system can efficiently dispatch VMs. The proposed scheme can efficiently and effectively distribute resources to VMs for maximizing utilization of the cloud computing center.

Sanierung der unteren historischen Stadtmauer in Hildburghausen – Statische Sicherung und Steinrestaurierung
Authors: Betzold Ronald 
Published: August 2013

AbstractIm Februar 2009 kam es zu einem Teileinsturz der historischen Stadtmauer Hildburghausen auf einer Länge von ca. 10 m. Als Konsequenz aus dem Einsturz wurde die Sanierung eines erweiterten Areals beschlossen. Diese umfasste die statische Sicherung sowie die Steinrestaurierung der Mauerfassade eines ca. 100 m langen Abschnittes. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt die Mauerwerksrekonstruktionen im Bereich der Einsturzstellen sowie in weiteren akut einsturzgefährdeten Abschnitten vor. Nahezu das gesamte 5 m hohe Wandmauerwerk wurde mittels Erdverankerungen gegen Umkippen gesichert. Eine Besonderheit bildeten die abschließenden Arbeiten zur Wiederherstellung des eingestürzten Gewölbestollens.Rehabilitation of the lower historic town wall of Hildburghausen – Structural safeguarding and stone restoration. In February 2009 there was a partial collapse of 10 m length of the historic town wall Hildburghausen. As a consequence of the collapse the rehabilitation of an extended area was decided. This included the structural safeguarding and stone restoration of a 100 m long section of the wall façade. The paper describes the masonry reconstructions done in the collapsed area as well as in further sections that were in danger of collapsing. Almost the whole 5 m high wall was secured against tilting by means of soil anchoring. A special feature were the final works of recovering the collapsed tunnel vault.
Erhalt eines historischen Mauerziegelgewölbes aus dem 16. Jahrhundert

Published: August 2013

AbstractViele Gebäude müssen im Zuge von Erhaltungs‐ und Umnutzungsmaßnahmen z. B. mit Stahlbauteilen konstruktiv gesichert und verstärkt werden. Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass solche Stahlbauteile oft den vom Tragwerkplaner vorgegebenen Spannungszustand nicht aufrechterhalten können. Darüber hinaus können u. a. temperaturbedingte oder sonstige dynamische Beanspruchungen zu extremen Spannungsspitzen im lasteinleitenden Bereich führen. An einer Kirche im Rheinland sind aus diesem Grunde an zur Sicherung des Gewölbemauerwerkes nachträglich eingebauten Spannankern zusätzlich neu entwickelte Spannkraftregler eingebaut und über einen längeren Zeitraum hinsichtlich ihrer Wirkung untersucht worden.Preservation of a historical brick vault from the 16th century by means of load reducing, capacity raising and tension regulating measures. In the course of conservation and conversion measures many buildings have to be secured and reinforced structurally e.g. with steelwork components. Research has shown that such steelwork components often cannot maintain the structural engineer&&num;039;s stress state target. Furthermore, temperature related or other dynamic loads can lead among others to extreme stress peaks in the loadbearing area. This is the reason why newly developed tensioning force controllers were additionally installed on tensioning anchors retrofitted to secure the vaulting masonry at a church in the Rhineland and the effect was evaluated over an extended period.
Wärmedämmverbundsysteme mit Klinkerriemchen

Published: August 2013

AbstractMit dem kontinuierlichen Anstieg der Außenwanddämmung mit Wärmedämmverbundsystemen (WDVS) hat sich auch das Problem des Algen‐ und Pilzbefalls an Fassaden in den vergangen Jahren weiter verschärft. Die bisherigen Ausführungsbeispiele zeigen aber auch, dass sich keine Algen und Pilze an der Fassade ansiedeln können, wenn keramische Klinkerriemchen statt Putz als Abschlussschicht von WDVS verwendet werden. Im Rahmen eines im Frühjahr 2013 abgeschlossenen Forschungsvorhabens beim Fraunhofer‐Institut für Bauphysik in Holzkirchen (IBP) wurde daher der Frage nachgegangen, warum Wärmedämmverbundsysteme mit einer Deckschicht aus Klinkerriemchen im Gegensatz zu den Standardputzsystemen algenresistent sind.External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) with Clinker Tiles, façades free of biocide without risks of algal and fungal attacks. The constant increase of using ETICS is accompanied by a worsening of the problem with algal and fungal attacks. However previous execution examples show that alga and fungus cannot grow if ceramic clinker tiles instead of plasters are used as final layer. In spring 2013 a research project at the Fraunhofer Institut for building physics in Holzkirchen finished investigating the reasons.
Spatial and temporal changes in bird assemblages in forest fragments in an eastern Amazonian savannah
Authors: Cintra Renato , Magnusson William E. , Albernaz Ana 
Published: August 2013

AbstractWe investigated the effects of forest fragmentation on bird assemblages in an Amazonian savannah landscape with forest fragments that have been isolated for more than 100 years. The study was conducted in areas surrounding the village of Alter do Chão (2°31′S, 55°00′W), Santarém, Brazil. Bird surveys and measurements of tree density were undertaken in 25 areas, with 19 plots in forest fragments of different sizes and six in an area of continuous forest. Data on forest‐fragment size, perimeter, and isolation were obtained from a georeferenced satellite image. Variation in number of bird species recorded per plot was not related to vegetation structure (tree density). The number of bird species recorded per plot increased significantly only with fragment area, but was not influenced by fragment shape or degree of isolation, even when considering species from the savannah matrix in the analysis. Fragments had fewer rare species. Multivariate ordination analyses (multiple dimensional scaling, [MDS]) indicated that bird species composition changed along a gradient from small to large forest fragments and continuous‐forest areas. In the Amazonian savannah landscapes of Alter do Chão, the organization and composition of bird assemblages in forest fragments are affected by local long‐term forest‐fragmentation processes. Differences in the number of bird species recorded per plot and assemblage composition between forest fragments and continuous forest were not influenced by forest structure, suggesting that the observed patterns in species composition result from the effects of fragmentation per se rather than from preexisting differences in vegetation structure between sites. Nevertheless, despite their long history of isolation, the forest fragments still preserve a large proportion (on average 80%) of the avifauna found in continuous‐forest areas. The fragments at Alter do Chão are surrounded by natural (rather than planted) grassland, with many trees in the savannah matrix and the landscape has vast areas covered by forest, which may have helped to ameliorate the influences of forest fragmentation.
Tropical rain forest conservation and the twin challenges of diversity and rarity
Authors: Hubbell Stephen P. 
Published: August 2013

AbstractData from a global network of large, permanent plots in lowland tropical forests demonstrate (1) that the phenomenon of tropical tree rarity is real and (2) that almost all the species diversity in such forests is due to rare species. Theoretical and empirically based reasoning suggests that many of these rare species are not as geographically widespread as previously thought. These findings suggest that successful strategies for conserving global tree diversity in lowland tropical forests must pay much more attention to the biogeography of rarity, as well as to the impact of climate change on the distribution and abundance of rare species. Because the biogeography of many tropical tree species is poorly known, a high priority should be given to documenting the distribution and abundance of rare tropical tree species, particularly in Amazonia, the largest remaining tropical forested region in the world.
Ecomorphological disparity in an adaptive radiation: opercular bone shape and stable isotopes inAntarctic icefishes

Published: August 2013

AbstractTo assess how ecological and morphological disparity is interrelated in the adaptive radiation of Antarctic notothenioid fish we used patterns of opercle bone evolution as a model to quantify shape disparity, phylogenetic patterns of shape evolution, and ecological correlates in the form of stable isotope values. Using a sample of 25 species including representatives from four major notothenioid clades, we show that opercle shape disparity is higher in the modern fauna than would be expected under the neutral evolution Brownian motion model. Phylogenetic comparative methods indicate that opercle shape data best fit a model of directional selection (Ornstein–Uhlenbeck) and are least supported by the “early burst” model of adaptive radiation. The main evolutionary axis of opercle shape change reflects movement from a broad and more symmetrically tapered opercle to one that narrows along the distal margin, but with only slight shape change on the proximal margin. We find a trend in opercle shape change along the benthic–pelagic axis, underlining the importance of this axis for diversification in the notothenioid radiation. A major impetus for the study of adaptive radiations is to uncover generalized patterns among different groups, and the evolutionary patterns in opercle shape among notothenioids are similar to those found among other adaptive radiations (three‐spined sticklebacks) promoting the utility of this approach for assessing ecomorphological interactions on a broad scale.
Distinct subspecies or phenotypic plasticity? Genetic and morphological differentiation of mountain honey bees in East Africa

Published: August 2013

AbstractIdentifying the forces shaping intraspecific phenotypic and genotypic divergence are of key importance in evolutionary biology. Phenotypic divergence may result from local adaptation or, especially in species with strong gene flow, from pronounced phenotypic plasticity. Here, we examine morphological and genetic divergence among populations of the western honey beeApis melliferain the topographically heterogeneous East African region. The currently accepted “mountain refugia hypothesis” states that populations living in disjunct montane forests belong to a different lineage than those in savanna habitats surrounding these forests. We obtained microsatellite data, mitochondrial sequences, and morphometric data from worker honey bees collected from feral colonies in three montane forests and corresponding neighboring savanna regions in Kenya. Honey bee colonies from montane forests showed distinct worker morphology compared with colonies in savanna areas. Mitochondrial sequence data did not support the existence of the two currently accepted subspecies. Furthermore, analyses of the microsatellite data with a Bayesian clustering method did not support the existence of two source populations as it would be expected under the mountain refugia scenario. Our findings suggest that phenotypic plasticity rather than distinct ancestry is the leading cause behind the phenotypic divergence observed between montane forest and savanna honey bees. Our study thus corroborates the idea that high gene flow may select for increased plasticity.
A Stochastic Counting MEMS Sensor Using White Noise Oscillation for a High‐Temperature Environment
Authors: Hatakeyama Yohei , Esashi Masayoshi , Tanaka Shuji 
Published: August 2013

SUMMARYThis paper describes a stochastic counting MEMS sensor that can be used in low‐S/N environments such as high‐temperature plants. A mass that vibrates between two counterelectrodes due to white voltage noise is “pulled‐in” to either of the electrodes by the application of a pulse voltage to the mass. The direction of pull‐in is stochastic, and the probability that the mass is pulled‐in to a particular side depends on mechanical strain applied to the sensor structure. This sensing principle was confirmed by simulation, and the sensor was prototyped using an SOI wafer. Based on our experiment, the probability of pull‐in to a particular side was tuned using a bias voltage applied to the counterelectrodes, as predicted by simulation. When the frequency of the pulse voltage for pull‐in increases, the behavior of the sensor looks random as it is not intended, because the mass is pulled‐in during damping vibration after being released from the previous pull‐in. This limits the sensing speed, but strain sensing is possible by just counting the number of pull‐ins to a particular side, which is easy even in low‐S/N environments. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of Music on Image Impression and Relationship between Impression and Physical Properties
Authors: Sato Keiko , Mitsukura Yasue 
Published: August 2013

SUMMARYAuditory information plays an integral role in AV media because even identical images are perceived differently when they are matched with different music. However, we now present the results of experiments in which the changes in subjective perceptions were analyzed on the basis of the physical properties of the perceived items. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of music on image impressions in terms of the physical properties of images. In this paper, we first elucidate the changes in subjective impressions when the image is presented by itself and when it is presented with music. Second, to clarify the relationship between the impressions of images or music and the physical properties, we compare the different image or music perceptions with each other and also compare their respective physical properties, which include color information, structural information, and frequency characteristics. The color information of an image containing green or saturation colors and the power of the music are found to be strongly correlated with adjectives expressing potency and activity. The entropy of saturation is found to be correlated with words expressing spatial extent. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Analysis of the Effect of Dataset Differences on Object Recognition: The Case of Recognition Methods Based on Exact Matching of Feature Vectors
Authors: Inoue Katsufumi , Kise Koichi 
Published: August 2013

SUMMARYSpecific object recognition methods based on the exact matching of feature vectors are known as methods that can achieve high recognition performance for large‐scale three‐dimensional specific object recognition. Since there are few common three‐dimensional object datasets whose size is sufficient to explore the effect of differences in object dataset composition and the effect of increasing number of objects for recognition, these effects for specific object recognition methods based on exact matching of feature vectors have been discussed insufficiently. The number of objects in well‐known datasets (e.g., COIL‐100) is around 100. Therefore, in this research, we prepared a dataset of 1002 three‐dimensional objects by themselves. In this paper, we discuss the effect of dataset differences, which are based on object structure, texture, and the number of objects, for methods such as that based on the Bloomier filter and that based on a hash table with this dataset in addition to COIL‐100. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthetic Studies of Kinamycin Antibiotics: Stereoselective Synthesis of the Highly Oxygenated D‐Ring and Construction of the ABD‐Ring System of Kinamycins
Authors: Ouzouni Maria‐Dimitra , Fokas Demosthenes 
Published: August 2013

AbstractA concise and stereoselective synthesis of the highly oxygenated D‐ring of the kinamycin family of antitumor antibiotics was achieved from commercially available 3‐methyl‐2‐cyclohexen‐1‐one. The key steps included a regioselective isomerization of a cis‐epoxy alcohol, a regioselective reductive ring opening of a benzylidene ketal, and a stereoselective α‐hydroxy‐directed ketone reduction. The Ullmann coupling between a bromonaphthaldehyde AB‐ring fragment and an α‐iodocyclohexenone, which is a versatile D‐ring precursor, effected the construction of the functionalized ABD‐ring system that may provide access to kinamycin F and its structural analogues.
Pyrolytic Biodiesel Production by Vacuum Pyrolysis of Fatty‐Acid Residue as Plant‐Oil Asphalt
Authors: Tang Qiang , Zheng Yanyan , Wang Jinfu 
Published: August 2013

AbstractFatty‐acid residue as plant oil asphalt (FA‐POA) is a neglected biomass. The main objectives of this study were to identify the composition of FA‐POA and to investigate the vacuum pyrolysis of FA‐POA to synthesize liquid biofuel. Proximate and ultimate analysis of FA‐POA was performed. The physical properties were also examined according to ASTM standards. The composition of FA‐POA was inferred from FTIR spectra and thermal gravimetric analysis. GC–MS was conducted to determine the composition in the pyrolytic oil and biogas. Results showed that FA‐POA is a polymerization product of fatty acids. It is formed by the combination of CC addition or association and carboxyl dehydration. In vacuum pyrolysis, a pyrolytic‐oil yield of 71 wt % was achieved on a FA‐POA basis. The pyroltyic oil mainly consists of fatty acids, paraffins, cycloparaffins, olefins, and aromatics. It was upgraded to pyrolytic biodiesel, which is characterized as having a high calorific value and moderate oxygen content. A pyrolysis reaction scheme of FA‐POA was proposed from the experimental results. It is concluded that FA‐POA is an attractive biomass source for liquid biofuels, chemicals, and biochar.

AbstractBackgroundPerceptions of injustice are linked with poorer physical and psychological outcomes in the context of pain and injury. Violations of injustice can arise out of violations of just world belief (JWB). However, no study has yet examined whether JWB moderates the effect of justice violation on pain experience.MethodsThe current study examined the effect of an experimental justice violation on acute pain outcomes and whether JWB moderated this effect. Participants completed the JWB scale and then engaged in two cold pressor tasks (CPT). Half the participants were told that the second CPT immersion was part of standard protocol; the other half were told that the painful procedure had to be repeated due to experimenter negligence. Participants provided report of pain intensity following each CPT immersion. Video records of participants undergoing the CPT were coded for presence and duration of pain behaviour.ResultsExposure to the justice violation resulted in elevated pain intensity from the first to the second immersion only among participants with high JWB. For participants with low JWB and participants in the control condition, there was no significant difference in pain intensity across immersions. Control participants showed a decrease in pain behaviour from the first to the second immersion. In the negligence/ justice violation condition, reductions in pain behaviour were observed only among participants with low JWB.ConclusionsOur results indicate that individuals with high JWB may show particularly adverse reactions in response to justice violations in the context of acute pain experience.
