Authors: Zheng Jianhu , Feng Yunqing , Zhao Yun 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This paper firstly introduces the main content of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and proves that it can transmit information among the users, the developers, the designers and the managers efficiently, which improves their collaboration capabilities and greatly increases the degree of industrialization in software development projects. Secondly, a library management system development and design is carried out, based on UML modeling mechanism to analyze a simple library management system. Thirdly, a demand analysis mode of the management system is built with the help of a case diagram and an analysis diagram after analysis of a simple library management system, using UML modeling mechanism. Then a book lending management subsystem has been designed in the library management system by a design class diagram and a sequence diagram. The design process indicates that as a modeling language of software engineering, UML has a very good application prospect.

Grafted vegetables – the influence of rootstock and scion on postharvest quality
Authors: Fallik Elazar , Ilic Zoran 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT
Grafting of vegetable seedlings is a unique horticultural technology, practised for more than 50 years, to overcome problems associated with intensive cultivation on limited arable land. Grafting vegetables can protect against soil-borne diseases and nematodes, against abiotic stresses such as high/low temperatures, salinity, drought or excessive soil-water content, and against elevated soil concentrations of heavy metals and organic pollutants. In addition, the grafted plant takes up water and nutrients from the soil more efficiently and retains its vitality for longer periods during the growing season. However, rootstock/scion combinations may affect and alter the final size, yield, and quality of fruits from grafted plants, both immediately postharvest and during prolonged storage. These alterations may be attributed in part to differing production environments and methods, the type of rootstock/scion combinations used, and harvest date. The aim of this paper is to review the most recent literature on the effects of grafting on postharvest quality of fruits/vegetables: tomato, watermelon, melon, eggplant, cucumber and pepper. The review will conclude by identifying several prospects for future research aimed at improving the quality of grafted fruit/vegetable products.

Abstract
The present study investigates mercury contamination of soil, groundwater, surface water, vegetation and food commodities (fruit, vegetable, mushroom, and fish) close to the abandoned Hg deposit in Malachov, Central Slovakia. The soil was classified as cambi-soil (rendzina). Maximum concentrations of Hg (44.24 ppm) were found in the soil from the area nearby old mining activities in the Veľká Studňa locality. In the groundwater, 0.84 μg.L-1, and in the surface water, even 394 μg.L-1 of Hg content was found. Also plant tissues and mushrooms are Hg-contaminated (in the root of Salix fragilis, the Hg content was 22 mg.kg-1). The Hg concentration decreases in general in the following order: root, branch/stem, and leaf/needle. In the food commodities, the Hg content does not exceed the Slovak law limits. The Hg content in trout muscle (from the local Malachovský brook) is 252 μg.kg-1 and in liver 402 μg.kg-1.
The calculation of an AMD formation potential (neutralisation potential, total acidity production, net neutralisation potential) is discussed as well. The value of the total acidity production potential (sensu Sobek et al., 1978) is low (1.562 - 3.125; with exception of a single sample, in which it increased to 9.375). On the other hand, the abundant presence of dolomite rocks causes a high neutralization potential value (up to 812.84). This result suggests that the assumption of the AMD production is excluded and the environmental risk from this viewpoint might be neglected
The Evaluation of Selected Air Pollutants in Košice for the Period 2008-2010 / Analýza Znečisťujúcich Látok Vo Vybraných Monitorovacích Staniciach Mesta Košice Za Obdobie 2008 - 2010

Published: January 2015

Abstract
In general, air quality is determined from the concentrations of pollutants in ambient air. Air quality criteria (limit and target values, margin of tolerances, upper and lower assessment thresholds) are based on the current legislative framework. In Slovakia, the air quality criteria are imposed by Decree No 360/2010 Coll, on air quality, of the Ministry of Environment [1]. In relation to the implemented measurements, it is necessary to choose effective tools needed for the pre-processing and post-processing of overall air quality assessment. The article aims at applying suitable GIS tools in the assessment process of air quality in the Košice agglomeration for the selected period 2008-2010. In the overall assessment of the area in question, the processing of information on emissions declared as particulate matter (PM) was considered in terms of a conservative approach to the assessment of air quality for PM10. For the assessment, the yearbooks and reports on air quality in Slovakia in 2008-2010 of the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMI) and professional publications were used

Abstract
The present article summarizes the progress and results of geodetic works during the construction of a geodetic network inside the Dobšinská Ice Cave underground space to monitor temporal and spatial changes in its ice filling. In order to objectively evaluate the changes, parameter estimations of the first- and second-order of the geodetic network from the set of field geodetic measurements were provided, and a robust analysis of the network was applied in terms of the assessment of impacts of potential outlier measurements on the network geometry
The Application Of Open-Source And Free Photogrammetric Software For The Purposes Of Cultural Heritage Documentation
Authors: Bartoš Karol , Pukanská Katarína , Sabová Janka 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
The documentation of cultural heritage is an essential part of appropriate care of historical monuments, representing a part of our history. At present, it represents the current issue, for which considerable funds are being spent, as well as for the documentation of immovable historical monuments in a form of castle ruins, among the others. Non-contact surveying technologies - terrestrial laser scanning and digital photogrammetry belong to the most commonly used technologies, by which suitable documentation can be obtained, however their use may be very costly. In recent years, various types of software products and web services based on the SfM (or MVS) method and developed as open-source software, or as a freely available and free service, relying on the basic principles of photogrammetry and computer vision, have started to get into the spotlight. By using the services and software, acquired digital images of a given object can be processed into a point cloud, serving directly as a final output or as a basis for further processing. The aim of this paper, based on images of various objects of the Slanec castle ruins obtained by the DSLR Pentax K5, is to assess the suitability of different types of open-source and free software and free web services and their reliability in terms of surface reconstruction and photo-texture quality for the purposes of castle ruins documentation.

Authors: Boualem Remini , Bachir Achour , Rabah Kechad 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This article discusses the traditional irrigation system in the oases of Touat, Gourara and Tidikelt. Since centuries, farmers use the system of foggaras for irrigation of palm groves and gardens.
The results obtained following the inquiries and investigations carried out on the sites of foggaras, showed that since the eighties, drilling works multiplied in the oases of Touat, Gourara and Tidikelt. However, despite the application of these new techniques of water catchment, farmers still irrigate their gardens by traditional methods. For social, economic and environmental problems, foggaras degrade more and more; 50% of the foggaras decayed. Currently, the discharge of foggaras in service greatly diminished. The adoption of modern catchment techniques entails to the lowering of the water table.
Usage of Lidar Data for Leaf Area Index Estimation
Authors: Sabol Jan , Patočka Zdeněk , Mikita Tomáš 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Leaf area index (LAI) can be measured either directly, using destructive methods, or indirectly using optical methods that are based on the tight relationship between LAI and canopy light transmittance. Third, innovative approach for LAI measuring is usage of remote sensing data, especially airborne laser scanning (ALS) data shows itself as a advisable source for purposes of LAI modelling in large areas. Until now there has been very little research to compare LAI estimated by the two different approaches. Indirect measurements of LAI using hemispherical photography are based on the transmission of solar radiation through the vegetation. It can thus be assumed that the same is true for the penetration of LiDAR laser beams through the vegetation canopy. In this study we use ALS based LiDAR penetration index (LPI) and ground based measurement of LAI obtained from hemispherical photographs as a reference in-situ method. Several regression models describing the corellation LAI and LPI were developed with various coefficients of determination ranging up to 0,81. All models were validated and based on the tests performed, no errors were drawn that would affect their credibility.
Switching Between Noun and Verb Agreement Rules Comes at a Cost: Cross-Sectional and Interventional Studies in a Developmental Sample
Authors: Van Reybroeck Marie , Schelstraete Marie-Anne , Hupet Michel , Szmalec Arnaud 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT
This study clarifies the impact of switching context between noun and verb number agreement rules in written language production. In Experiment 1, children from grade 3 to 6 were asked to fill in sentences with nouns and verbs in either a switching condition (noun followed by verb) or a repeating condition (noun followed by noun). The results showed that third- and fourth-grade children produced more erroneous agreements in the switching condition than in the repeating condition, showing that switching between rules comes at a cost, whereas fifth- and sixth-grade participants’ performance was not affected by the switching context. Based on these findings, Experiment 2 aimed to assess whether a switching treatment offers a greater opportunity to improve the acquisition of grammatical agreement production, as compared to a simple treatment. Teachers from grade 3 gave either a switching treatment (mixed noun and verb exercises) or a simple treatment (noun exercises followed by verb exercises). The results show that children learned better from the switching treatment than from the simple treatment. These findings highlight the cost of switching between noun and verb agreement rules during the acquisition of grammatical number agreement and also how grammatical spelling acquisition can be improved at school.
Narrative Identity of Adolescents and Family Functioning
Authors: Cierpka Anna 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT
The paper presents research conducted within the narrative psychology paradigm. Its main purpose was to explore the relationships between features of adolescents’ identity narratives and their assessments of family functioning and themselves as family members. The choice of subject was motivated by current reports on identity formation difficulties in adolescence. Adolescents’ narratives were subjected to quantitative and qualitative analysis. Associations between specific aspects of self-narratives and participants’ perceptions of how their families functioned and how they functioned in the family system were evaluated. The results confirm the hypothesized relationships between the features of adolescents’ narratives and evaluations of their families and self-assessments of their own functioning in those families. Multi-thematic, content-rich and positively evaluated self-narratives are associated with positive assessments of selected aspects of family functioning and adolescents’ own functioning within the family. The following aspects of family assessment are significant: affective expression, level of emotional involvement in the family, level of control, family role performance and communication. Important factors in the self-assessment were: sense of competence in family role performance, assessment of one’s communication, behavior control and affective expression.

Published: January 2015

Abstract
In the paper we find characterizations of some notions studied by Kułaga [5] and we generalize his results. In particular, we characterize regularity and completeness of factor subalgebras via stability of the decidability operator and we discuss some possibilities in defining the notions of first category and Baire property in Boolean algebras.
Reconciliation of approaches to the construction of canonical extensions of bounded lattices
Authors: Craig Andrew , Haviar Miroslav 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
We provide new insights into the relationship between different constructions of the canonical extension of a bounded lattice. This follows on from the recent construction of the canonical extension using Ploščica’s maximal partial maps into the two-element set by Craig, Haviar and Priestley (2012). We show how this complete lattice of maps is isomorphic to the stable sets of Urquhart’s representation and to the concept lattice of a specific context, and how to translate our construction to the original construction of Gehrke and Harding (2001). In addition, we identify the completely join- and completely meet-irreducible elements of the complete lattice of maximal partial maps.
Ordered left PP monoids
Authors: Shi Xiaoping 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
An ordered monoid S in which every principal left ideal, regarded as an S-poset, is projective is called an ordered left PP monoid, for short, an ordered lpp monoid. In this paper, we introduce a new kind of ordered relations instead of Green relations adopted by J. B. Fountain, ordered lpp monoids are described by these ordered relations. Some similar results of c-rpp semigroups are duduced and proved, in particular, Fountain’s results about C-lpp monoids are generalized to ordered monoids.

Authors: Baradaran Javad , Taghavi Mohsen 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This paper focuses on the problem concerning the location and the number of zeros of those polynomials when their coefficients are restricted with special conditions. The problem of the number of the zeros of reciprocal Littlewood polynomials on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$ is discussed, the interest on bounds for the number of the zeros of reciprocal polynomials on the unit circle arose after 1950 when Erdös began introducing problems on zeros of various types of polynomials. Our main result is the problem of finding the number of zeros of complex polynomials in an open disk.

Authors: Yaşar Elif , Yalçin Sibel 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
In this paper, two new classes of harmonic univalent functions with varying arguments are defined by using planar harmonic convolution operator involving hypergeometric functions. Those classes are of special interest because they contain various classes of well-known harmonic univalent functions such as the classes of k-starlike and k-uniformly convex harmonic univalent functions. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate neighbourhoods of the classes in question.

Generalized Orlicz-Lorentz sequence spaces and corresponding operator ideals
Authors: Gupta Manjul , Bhar Antara 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
In this paper we introduce generalized or vector-valued Orlicz-Lorentz sequence spaces l
p,q,M(X) on Banach space X with the help of an Orlicz function M and for different positive indices p and q. We study their structural properties and investigate cross and topological duals of these spaces. Moreover these spaces are generalizations of vector-valued Orlicz sequence spaces l
M(X) for p = q and also Lorentz sequence spaces for M(x) = x
q for q ≥ 1. Lastly we prove that the operator ideals defined with the help of scalar valued sequence spaces l
p,q,M and additive s-numbers are quasi-Banach operator ideals for p < q and Banach operator ideals for p ≥ q. The results of this paper are more general than the work of earlier mathematicians, say A. Pietsch, M. Kato, L. R. Acharya, etc.
The L
p primitive integral
Authors: Talvila Erik 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
For each 1 ≤ p < ∞, a space of integrable Schwartz distributions L′p, is defined by taking the distributional derivative of all functions in L
p. Here, L
p is with respect to Lebesgue measure on the real line. If f ∈ L′p such that f is the distributional derivative of F ∈ L
p, then the integral is defined as $\int\limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {fG} = - \int\limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {F(x)g(x)dx} $, where g ∈ L
q, $G(x) = \int\limits_0^x {g(t)dt} $ and 1/p + 1/q =1. A norm is ‖f‖p′ = ‖F‖p. The spaces L′p and L
p are isometrically isomorphic. Distributions in L′p share many properties with functions in L
p. Hence, L′p is reflexive, its dual space is identified with L
q, there is a type of Hölder inequality, continuity in norm, convergence theorems, Gateaux derivative. It is a Banach lattice and abstract L-space. Convolutions and Fourier transforms are defined. Convolution with the Poisson kernel is well defined and provides a solution to the half plane Dirichlet problem, boundary values being taken on in the new norm. A product is defined that makes L′1 into a Banach algebra isometrically isomorphic to the convolution algebra on L
1. Spaces of higher order derivatives of L
p functions are defined. These are also Banach spaces isometrically isomorphic to L
p.
Note on the characteristic rank of vector bundles
Authors: Naolekar Aniruddha , Thakur Ajay 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
We define the notion of characteristic rank, charrankX(ξ), of a real vector bundle ξ over a connected finite CW-complex X. This is a bundle-dependent version of the notion of characteristic rank introduced by Július Korbaš in 2010. We obtain bounds for the cup length of manifolds in terms of the characteristic rank of vector bundles generalizing a theorem of Korbaš and compute the characteristic rank of vector bundles over the Dold manifolds, the Moore spaces and the stunted projective spaces amongst others.
Olga Kirsch: ’n Vreemde boom op hierdie aarde / Olga Kirsch: A Strange Tree on This Earth
Authors: Venter Eben 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
The article traces the lasting alienation of Olga Kirsch (1927-1994), a Jewish-born South African poet, as represented in her seven volumes of Afrikaans poetry published between 1944 and 1983. Growing up in a devoutly Christian, Afrikaans-speaking rural community, she found herself an outsider. The conditions at home brought little comfort, while the awareness of the racial discrimination which permeated society further contributed to her isolation. Seeking for a heimat, she emigrated to Israel at the age of 24. Reading her poetry, it becomes clear that here, too, she remained a stranger, continuing to write and publish in Afrikaans.
Diagnostic Clinical Prediction Rules for Specific Subtypes of Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review
Authors: Haskins Robin , Osmotherly Peter G. , Rivett Darren A. 
Published: January 2015

Study Design Systematic review. Objectives To identify diagnostic clinical prediction rules (CPRs) for low back pain (LBP) and to assess their readiness for clinical application. Background Significant research has been invested into the development of CPRs that may assist in the meaningful subgrouping of patients with LBP. To date, very little is known about diagnostic forms of CPRs for LBP, which relate to the present status or classification of an individual, and whether they have been developed sufficiently to enable their application in clinical practice. Methods A sensitive electronic search strategy using 7 databases was combined with hand searching and citation tracking to identify eligible studies. Two independent reviewers identified relevant studies for inclusion using a 2-stage selection process. The quality appraisal of included studies was conducted by 2 independent raters using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 and checklists composed of accepted methodological standards for the development of CPRs. Results Of 10 014 studies screened for eligibility, the search identified that 13 diagnostic CPRs for LBP have been derived. Among those, 1 tool for identifying lumbar spinal stenosis and 2 tools for identifying inflammatory back pain have undergone validation. No impact analysis studies were identified. Conclusion Most diagnostic CPRs for LBP are in their initial development phase and cannot be recommended for use in clinical practice at this time. Validation and impact analysis of the diagnostic CPRs identified in this review are warranted, particularly for those tools that meet an identified unmet need of clinicians who manage patients with LBP.
