Teste da Hipótese “Size-Grain”: Influência da Rugosidade do Ambiente sobre Formigas (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Authors: Martins Luciano , Chevalier Leandro Xavier Teixeira , Almeida Fábio Souto 
Published: September 2014

Este trabalho objetivou testar a hipótese de que formigas com menor tamanho corporal têm maior sucesso em explorar os interstícios do ambiente, enquanto que ambientes menos rugosos favorecem formigas com tamanho maior. O experimento foi realizado em uma floresta secundária situada no distrito de Ilha Grande, Angra dos Reis-RJ (23º11’01’’S, 44º 11’44’’W). Foram escolhidos ao acaso 14 locais distantes 10 metros entre si. Em cada local foram demarcadas três parcelas de 50cm x 50cm com espaçamento de 10cm entre si. A serapilheira foi removida das parcelas e aplicou-se tratamentos que simularam ambientes com diferentes níveis de rugosidade: baixo (sem serapilheira); médio (somente folhas de bambu); e alto (com serapilheira). Iscas de sardinha e solução de água com açúcar foram colocadas no centro de cada parcela e a primeira formiga que alcançou as iscas foi coletada. O comprimento total do corpo das formigas coletadas foi significativamente menor no tratamento com maior nível de rugosidade (Teste de Tukey, p < 0,05). Os resultados confirmaram a hipótese de que formigas menores são favorecidas em ambientes com alto nível de rugosidade.
Testing the Size-grain Hypothesis: Influence of the Environmental Rugosity on Ants
(Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
Abstract. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that smaller ants are more successful in exploring environmental interstices than larger ants, whereas environments with less rugosity are better for larger ants. The experiment was conducted in a secondary forest located in Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro State (23 11’00’’S, 44 11’44’’O). Fourteen sites were randomly selected and in each site three plots (50cm x 50cm) were demarcated. The leaf litter was removed from the plots and were applied treatments that simulated environments with different rugosity levels: low (no leaf litter), medium (only bamboo leaves) and high (with leaf litter). Food baits were exposed in the center of the plots and the first ant that access the baits was collected. The total length of the ants was significantly lower in the treatment with higher level of rugosity (Tukey, p <0.05). The results confirmed the hypothesis that environments with high levels of rugosity favours smaller ants.

Occurrence of Zaprionus indianus (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Agudo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Authors: Batistella Pasini Mauricio Paulo , Link Dionísio 
Published: September 2014

This work has the first record of Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) found in the rural area of Agudo in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The adults were first found in plums (Prunus salicina Lindl). Subsequently it was found in mature figs (Ficus carica L.) in two orchards. In the first orchard about 80% of the collected figs were infested by Z. indianus. In the second orchard, 50% of the figs cv. “Pingo de mel” and 80% of the figs of cv. “Roxo de Valinhos” were infested. On these collected figs a total of 1364 adult insects emerged. Figs of cultivar “Roxo de Valinhos” had higher adult emergence number. Besides being present in residues of the figs, Z. indianus was observed flying over debris from Syagrus romanzoffiana (Cham), Cucumis melo L., Citrullus vulgaris Schrad. and Vitis vinifera L., associated with other Drosophilidae. These findings indicate that measures for monitoring and pest control should be adopted in the county to ensure high quality figs.

Case Article—Production Scheduling at Falcon Die Casting: A Comprehensive Example on the Application of Linear Programming and Its Extensions
Authors: Rao B. Madhu , Beliën Jeroen 
Published: September 2014

A comprehensive case study to introduce students to several concepts from linear, integer, and goal programming in an integrative manner is presented. Starting with a relatively simple production planning decision problem, the case progressively incorporates generalizations to introduce various modeling principles. Each variation to the case enables the teacher to engage in insightful discussion into the nature of the optimal solutions; the effect on the optimum solution of changes to the objective function or to key constraints. The case article also describes several ways in which the case can be used, ranging from a comprehensive introduction to a concluding capstone case in an undergraduate or graduate course in linear programming.

Positioning on a Multiattribute Landscape
Authors: Adner Ron , Csaszar Felipe A. , Zemsky Peter B. 
Published: September 2014

Competitive positioning is a central, yet understudied, topic in strategy. Understanding positioning requires understanding two distinct mappings: how underlying policies are transformed into positions, and how positions are transformed into market performance. A complete treatment of positioning requires incorporating organizational design in the presence of policy interdependence; consumer choice in the presence of trade-offs among multiple product attributes; and competitive interactions among firms. We develop a model that integrates these elements. We show that in a multiattribute setting, trade-offs have critical, nonmonotonic effects on a range of strategy questions including the relationship between positions that are operationally efficient and those that remain viable in the face of competition as well as the concentration of market share in the industry. Of particular interest are implications for firm heterogeneity. We show that increases in business policy interdependence can decrease positioning heterogeneity among firms in an industry, depending on the nature of trade-offs. We also show that the relationship between strategy heterogeneity and positioning heterogeneity is moderated by the extent of policy interdependence.This paper was accepted by Bruno Cassiman, business strategy.
Police and military forces in Timor-Leste: Are they a source of peace or conflict?
Authors: Cierco Teresa 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
Security sector reform (SSR) aims to create a secure environment that is conducive to development, poverty reduction, good governance, and in particular the growth of democratic states and institutions based on the rule of law. This relies on the ability of the state to mitigate its people’s vulnerabilities through development and to use a range of policy instruments to prevent or address security threats that affect society’s wellbeing. Timor-Leste is currently relatively stable compared to the 2006–08 crisis period, but it is still seen as a fragile state. In the security sector, this fragility highlights the conflictual relationship between the armed forces (FALINTIL – Forças de Defesa de Timor-Leste, F-FDTL) and the police (Polícia Nacional de Timor-Leste, PNTL) as the most significant threat to national stability. This article examines the United Nations’ efforts in Timor-Leste as an important case for the study of SSR in post-conflict countries and tries to answer the following questions: how has SSR evolved in Timor-Leste? What has the role of the military and police forces been in the country’s stabilization and reconstruction? Are they contributing to peace or are they a source of potential conflict?
Das Nord-Süd-Verhältnis zu Beginn der neunziger Jahre: Neue Strukturen eines alten Konflikts?
Authors: Diefanbacher Hans , Ratsch Ulrich 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
The paper of Hans Diejenbacher and Ulrich Ratschstrats from the thesis that although the eighties have been a lost decade for the developing countries, the structures of the conflict between the North and the South have changed drastically. Those changes are exemplified by six different problern areas: the danger of an irreversible global climate change, the deterioration of the terms of trade for the developing countries, the impoverishment of the least development countries, the relationship between foreign debts and inflation, the crisis of development policy, and the effects of the changing east-west-conflict. The description of those conflict areas Ieads to the question how it could be possible to overcome the discrepancy between the knowledge about these problems on the one hand and the willingness to initiate political change on the other band.
Die internationale Verschuldung der Entwicklungsländer – Ursachen und Interessen, Gewinner und Verlierer
Authors: Kunanayakam Tarnara 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
By explaining the ermergence of the international indebtedness of the developing countries, Tarnara Kunanayakam shows how the fate of indebted countries is entangled in the economic policy of the creditor countries. This entanglement has developed via the structures of the international finance and credit markets according to the wants of the rieb countries. The desaster of the export oriented development strategy has led to a new, in the meanwhile even financial dependency from the industrial countries ofthe North. A discussion of alternative strategies for solving the debt problern results in the thesis, that this crisis can only be approached politically, by promoting a development strategy that strives for social justice and that is accompanied by a democratization of political structures.
Wirtschaft vor der Herausforderung der Umweltkrise
Authors: Korff Wilhelm 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
There is no way of an alliance between economy and ecology without conflict. As in the relation between both a principle conflict is programmed, the ethical claim is only conflict-minimizing. This is the thesis of the study of Wilhelm Korff about the economy-ecology-problematic. Korff works out a set of moral criterions for economic acting, which put pretentious moral standards on responsible action. It is especially considered if people are able to act according to these claims. In this way Korff takes into consideration the anthropological assumptions, which underlie human action: the antagonism of limited and unlimited potentialities of human existing.
Strukturen verantwortlichen Lebens

Published: September 2014

Abstract
The article describes »structures ofresponsible life« in Tödt's theological thinking. (1) As a professor Tödt taught an ethos of matureself responsibility. (2) He was led from exegesis to social ethics by the task of interpreting the gospel in our present time. Tödt explores analogies and differences between options of our present time and the fundamental directions ofChristian faith, especially through such topics as peace and human rights. (3) In a world characterized by modern science and technology, human beings are themselves responsible for the norms of their actions in the sense of a cooperatio hominis cum deo that responds to God. (4) Tödt's ethical heory of moral reasoning tends to an ethic of action. (5) As an historian, the theologian is also accountable for hisfundamental world view. For Tödt, in his research of the Bonhoeffer-Dohnanyi circle's resistance, taking sides with the victims was central.
Ethische Theologie
Authors: Anselm Reiner 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
Tutz Rendtorff develops his ethical theory in tradition ofFriedrich Schleiermacherand Ernst Troeltsch as Ethical Theology. Ethics is understood not simply as catalogue of moral rules, but from the ethical perspective theological issues come into sight. This article's purpose is to demonstrate this. The three basic elements of the ethical realities of life according to Trutz Rendtorff: givenness of life, giving of life, reflection on life, can be interpreted referring to the three main issues of traditional dogmatics: creation, reconciliation, and redemption.

The autor directs attention to a basic distinction for the method of treatment of understanding the term »justice«. The theological notion of justice is accuracy to differentiate from the ethical notion. The author points out this distinction at the example of one of principles of justice: »suum cuique« (Ulpian). In a strict theological perspective »justice« tends towards »agape« -in an ethical perspective »justice« tends towards the regulation of right and legal procedure
Genomic biomarkers related to drug response in Venezuelan populations
Authors: Chiurillo Miguel Angel 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
Pharmacogenetics is being applied to develop individual specific therapies considering different ethnic groups and mixed populations. The Venezuelan population is very heterogeneous as a result of the admixture process that occurred between Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans through five centuries. This review provides a summary of the literature concerning gene variants within drug-metabolizing enzymes, drug targets, and drug receptors (CYP2C19, CYP2D6, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, NAT2, MTHFR, LEP, LEPR, LTC4S, and ADRβ2 genes) evaluated in the Venezuelan population. In particular, most of the studies were conducted with relatively low numbers of individuals. Some of these studies included analyses of genetic polymorphisms in native groups living in this country. Although the recent studies represent a hopeful progress toward the inclusion of the Venezuelan population among those who will benefit from the implementation of pharmacogenetic principles and tools in drug therapy, there are not yet sufficient data concerning allelic frequencies of genomic biomarkers related to drug response for their implementation in clinical practice. Therefore, there is a critical need for more research in pharmacogenetics in Venezuela to increase data availability.
Synthesis of cyclopolyolefins via ruthenium catalyzed ring-expansion metathesis polymerization
Authors: Tuba Robert 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
Polymers exhibiting cyclic topology have attracted great interest over the past 30 years. Macrocycles or cyclopolymers with more than 20 repeating monomer units are considered exceptional candidates for thermoplastic engineering application due to unique properties in comparison to their linear analogues including large hydrodynamic radii and functional group density, heat resistance, good insulating ability and low intrinsic viscosity. Cyclic polymers are thus expected to exhibit improved physical and mechanical properties for certain applications due to the absence of end groups. Although synthetic challenges have historically limited research on cyclic polymers, recent developments in ruthenium catalyzed ring-expansion metathesis polymerization (REMP) have enabled the synthesis and the preliminary investigation of structure-property relationships of high molecular weight macrocycles. In REMP reactions the polymer formation is proposed to proceed through a transient macrocyclic complex in which both ends of the growing polymer chain remain attached to the Ru center. This article summarizes the recent discoveries on the field of REMP assisted cyclopolymer based material development.
Critical review and exergy analysis of formaldehyde production processes
Authors: Bahmanpour Ali Mohammad , Hoadley Andrew , Tanksale Akshat 
Published: September 2014

AbstractFormaldehyde is one of the most important intermediate chemicals and has been produced industrially since 1889. Formaldehyde is a key feedstock in several industries like resins, polymers, adhesives, and paints, making it one of the most valuable chemicals in the world. However, not many studies have been dedicated to reviewing the production of this economically important product. In this review paper, we study the leading commercial processes for formaldehyde production and compare them with recent advancements in catalysis and novel processes. This paper compares, in extensive detail, the reaction mechanisms and kinetics of water ballast process (or BASF process), methanol ballast process, and Formox process. The thermodynamics of the reactions involved in the formaldehyde production process was investigated using HSC Chemistry™ software (Outotec Oyj, Espoo, Finland). Exergy analysis was carried out for the natural gas to methanol process and the methanol ballast process for formaldehyde production. The former process was simulated using Aspen HYSYS™ and the latter using Aspen Plus™ software (Aspen technology, Burlington, MA, USA). The yield and product specifications from the simulation results closely matched with published experimental data. The exergy efficiencies of the natural gas to synthesis gas
The behaviour of aluminium matrix composites under thermal stresses
Authors: Dash Khushbu , Sukumaran Suvin , Ray Bankim C. 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
The present review work elaborates the behaviour of aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) under various kinds of thermal stresses. AMCs find a number of applications such as automobile brake systems, cryostats, microprocessor lids, space structures, rocket turbine housing, and fan exit guide vanes in gas turbine engines. These applications require operation at varying temperature conditions ranging from high to cryogenic temperatures. The main objective of this paper was to understand the behaviour of AMCs during thermal cycling, under induced thermal stresses and thermal fatigue. It also focuses on the various thermal properties of AMCs such as thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). CTE mismatch between the reinforcement phase and the aluminium matrix results in the generation of residual thermal stress by virtue of fabrication. These thermal stresses increase with increasing volume fraction of the reinforcement and decrease with increasing interparticle spacing. Thermal cycling enhances plasticity at the interface, resulting in deformation at stresses much lower than their yield stress. Low and stable CTE can be achieved by increasing the volume fraction of the reinforcement. The thermal fatigue resistance of AMC can be increased by increasing the reinforcement volume fraction and decreasing the particle size. The thermal conductivity of AMCs decreases with increase in reinforcement volume fraction and porosity.
