Tourism as a cultural phenomenon: morphological aspect
Authors: Соколова Марина , Sokolova Marina 
Published: November 2014

The article considers tourism as a cultural phenomenon in its morphological aspects. Examines manifestations of tourism in the material and spiritual forms of culture. When lighting the contribution of tourism to the material culture the attention is drawn to all the main areas of its production and technological activities: agriculture, buildings, equipment, transport, communications and technology. Agritourism is provided as a multi-example.
Spiritual form of culture within the tourism perspective is revealed primarily through the category of «knowledge.» On concrete examples
explores how tourism af ects its acquisition and accumulation. At the same time takes into account all the essential areas of knowledge: practical, scientif c, religious, gaming and mythological. It’s shown how tourism is implemented in the main tasks of the culture, such as the creation of artif cial habitat and transmission of cultural inheritance.
It is proved that tourism is an incentive for the development and creation of many new features that form artif cial (cultural) human habitat. Sending the same social inheritance is the most evidently made in the cultural, educational and religious tourism. Much attention is paid to the functions of culture, which f nd their refraction in tourism: epistemological, regulatory, adaptive, semiotic and axiological. But the most complete disclosure of the work is the communicative function. Its example examines the role of tourism in cross-cultural communication. Expanding the types of culture, correlating with the main areas of public life, it is indicated how a tourist, who faces manifestations of dif erent culture can change his mental and behavioral paradigms.
In process of levels of culture analysis (vital, specialized and full cultures) it’s revealed that specialized level tourism but mostly empathic levels of culture act as a powerful factor in the humanization of culture. Given the importance of tourism as a cultural phenomenon.
Automating Data Abstraction in a Quality Improvement Platform for Surgical and
Interventional Procedures
Authors: Yetisgen Meliha , Klassen Prescott , Tarczy-Hornoch Peter 
Published: November 2014

Objective: This paper describes a text processing system designed to automate the
manual data abstraction process in a quality improvement (QI) program. The Surgical Care
and Outcomes Assessment Program (SCOAP) is a clinician-led, statewide performance
benchmarking QI platform for surgical and interventional procedures. The data elements
abstracted as part of this program cover a wide range of clinical information from
patient medical history to details of surgical interventions.Methods: Statistical and
rule-based extractors were developed to automatically abstract data elements. A
preprocessing pipeline was created to chunk free-text notes into its sections,
sentences, and tokens. The information extracted in this preprocessing step was used by
the statistical and rule-based extractors as features.Findings: Performance results for
25 extractors (14 statistical, 11 rule based) are presented. The average f1-scores for
11 rule-based extractors and 14 statistical extractors are 0.785
(min=0.576,max=0.931,std-dev=0.113) and 0.812 (min=0.571,max=0.993,std-dev=0.135)
respectively.Discussion: Our error analysis revealed that most extraction errors were
due either to data imbalance in the data set or the way the gold standard had been
created.Conclusion: As future work, more experiments will be conducted with a more
comprehensive data set from multiple institutions contributing to the QI
project.
The Myth of Plato’s Socratic Period
Authors: Gerson Lloyd 
Published: November 2014

Abstract:A hypothesis first proposed in the nineteenth century has since the middle of the twentieth century been approaching mythical status. It is the hypothesis that in the course of Plato’s philosophical ‘development’, he passed through a ‘Socratic period’ in which he was principally devoted to representing the philosophy of the historical Socrates rather than his own. This Socratic philosophy is found in the so-called early dialogues and is sometimes called ‘Socratic intellectualism’. According to the myth, Plato only developed and wrote down his own philosophical position in the middle and late dialogues. In this paper, I challenge the myth, arguing that there is no external evidence to support the initial hypothesis and significant evidence for rejecting it. In fact, Plato was probably in some sense a proponent of Pythagoreanism and a ‘two-world metaphysics’ well before he wrote anything. The claim that, external evidence notwithstanding, the early dialogues actually contain a philosophical position substantially different from that of later dialogues is also unfounded. Although Plato’s thought continually developed within the context of ongoing Academic discussions, nowhere in any of the dialogues is Plato’s ‘otherworldy’ revisionist philosophy absent.
Opportunities and limitations in applying coevolution-derived contacts to protein structure prediction
Authors: Tetchner Stuart , Kosciolek Tomasz , Jones David T. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The prospect of identifying contacts in protein structures purely from aligned protein sequences has lured researchers for a long time, but progress has been modest until recently. Here, we reviewed the most successful methods for identifying structural contacts from sequence and how these methods differ and made an initial assessment of the overlap of predicted contacts by alternative approaches. We then discussed the limitations of these methods and possibilities for future development and highlighted the recent applications of contacts in tertiary structure prediction, identifying the residues at the interfaces of protein-protein interactions, and the use of these methods in disentangling alternative conformational states. Finally, we identified the current challenges in the field of contact prediction, concentrating on the limitations imposed by available data, dependencies on the sequence alignments, and possible future developments.
Exact methods for lattice protein models
Authors: Mann Martin , Backofen Rolf 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Lattice protein models are well-studied abstractions of globular proteins. By discretizing the structure space and simplifying the energy model over regular proteins, they enable detailed studies of protein structure formation and evolution. However, even in the simplest lattice protein models, the prediction of optimal structures is computationally difficult. Therefore, often, heuristic approaches are applied to find such conformations. Commonly, heuristic methods find only locally optimal solutions. Nevertheless, there exist methods that guarantee to predict globally optimal structures. Currently, only one such exact approach is publicly available, namely the constraint-based protein structure prediction method and variants. Here, we review exact approaches and derived methods. We discuss fundamental concepts like hydrophobic core construction and their use in optimal structure prediction, as well as possible applications like combinations of different energy models.
Smotifs as structural local descriptors of supersecondary elements: classification, completeness and applications
Authors: Bonet Jaume , Fiser Andras , Oliva Baldo , Fernandez-Fuentes Narcis 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Protein structures are made up of periodic and aperiodic structural elements (i.e., α-helices, β-strands and loops). Despite the apparent lack of regular structure, loops have specific conformations and play a central role in the folding, dynamics, and function of proteins. In this article, we reviewed our previous works in the study of protein loops as local supersecondary structural motifs or Smotifs. We reexamined our works about the structural classification of loops (ArchDB) and its application to loop structure prediction (ArchPRED), including the assessment of the limits of knowledge-based loop structure prediction methods. We finalized this article by focusing on the modular nature of proteins and how the concept of Smotifs provides a convenient and practical approach to decompose proteins into strings of concatenated Smotifs and how can this be used in computational protein design and protein structure prediction.

Peptide-based vectors: recent developments
Authors: Cerrato Carmine Pasquale , Lehto Tõnis , Langel Ülo 
Published: November 2014

AbstractPeptides and peptide-cargo complexes have been used for drug delivery and gene therapy. One of the most used delivery vectors are cell-penetrating peptides, due to their ability to be taken up by a variety of cell types and deliver a large variety of cargoes through the cell membrane with low cytotoxicity. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown their possibility and full effectiveness to deliver oligonucleotides, plasmid DNA, small interfering RNAs, antibodies, and drugs. We report in this review some of the latest strategies for peptide-mediated delivery of nucleic acids. It focuses on peptide-based vectors for therapeutic molecules and on nucleic acid delivery. In addition, we discuss recent applications and clinical trials.
C-terminal binding proteins: central players in development and disease
Authors: Stankiewicz Trisha R. , Gray Josie J. , Winter Aimee N. , Linseman Daniel A. 
Published: November 2014

AbstractC-terminal binding proteins (CtBPs) were initially identified as binding partners for the E1A-transforming proteins. Although the invertebrate genome encodes one CtBP protein, two CtBPs (CtBP1 and CtBP2) are encoded by the vertebrate genome and perform both unique and duplicative functions. CtBP1 and CtBP2 are closely related and act as transcriptional corepressors when activated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide binding to their dehydrogenase domains. CtBPs exert transcriptional repression primarily via recruitment of a corepressor complex to DNA that consists of histone deacetylases (HDACs) and histone methyltransferases, although CtBPs can also repress transcription through HDAC-independent mechanisms. More recent studies have demonstrated a critical function for CtBPs in the transcriptional repression of pro-apoptotic genes such as Bax, Puma, Bik, and Noxa. Nonetheless, although recent efforts have characterized the essential involvement of CtBPs in promoting cellular survival, the dysregulation of CtBPs in both neurodegenerative disease and cancers remains to be fully elucidated.
Load-Tolerant, High-Efficiency Self-Powered Energy Harvesting Scheme Using a Nonlinear Approach
Authors: Lallart Mickaël , Richard Claude , Li Yang , Wu Yi-Chieh , Guyomar Daniel 
Published: November 2014

AbstractSmall-scale energy harvesting has become a particularly hot topic for replacing batteries in autonomous or nomad systems. In particular, vibration energy harvesting using piezoelectric elements has experienced a significant amount of research over the last decade as vibrations are widely available in many environments and as piezoelectric materials can be easily embedded. However, the energy scavenging abilities of such systems are still limited and are very sensitive to the connected load. The purpose of this paper is to expose a new approach based on synchronous switching on resistive load, which allows both a significant enhancement of the energy harvesting capabilities as well as a high tolerance to a change of the impedance of the connected system, especially in the low value region. It is theoretically and experimentally shown that such an approach permits increasing the energy harvesting abilities by a factor 4 compared to classical DC energy harvesting approach. Furthermore, the self-powering possibility and automatic load adaptation of the proposed method is experimentally discussed, showing the realistic viability of the technique.
A Theory of Fairness in Trade
Authors: James Aaron 
Published: November 2014

AbstractA theory of fairness in international trade should answer at least three questions. What, at the basic level, are we to assess as fair or unfair in the trade context? What sort of fairness issue does this basic subject of assessment raise? And, what moral principles must be fulfilled if trade is to be fair in the relevant sense? This discussion presents answers to these questions that derive from a “constructivist” methodology inspired by John Rawls and the social contract tradition.
Development and characterization of homo, co and terpolyimides based on BPDA, BTDA, 6FDA and ODA with low dielectric constant
Authors: Purushothaman Revathi , Bilal I. Mohammed 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Polyimides are a sophisticated family of materials, which cover an exhaustive range of high performance polymers and find applications from aerospace to microelectronics. Microelectronic applications demand low dielectric constant and high performance. Aromatic terpolyimides were synthesized by reacting 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyl tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) and 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) with 4,4′-oxydianiline (ODA) by thermal imidization with the view to decrease their dielectric constant without compromising thermal properties and mechanical properties compared to their homo and copolyimides. They were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Their FTIR spectra established formation of polyimide by the characteristic vibrations at 1375 cm-1 (C-N stretch) and 1113 cm-1 (imide ring deformation). The TGA results showed decomposition of imides at about 515°C. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymers varied from 261°C to 281°C. The XRD spectrum of BPDA/BTDA/6FDA-ODA, which contained 50% of 6FDA, showed a broadened envelope with a peak at 16.8° (2θ), illustrating a semicrystalline nature. Incorporation of 6FDA, with a bulky bridging group into the backbone of BPDA/6FDA-ODA and BPDA/BTDA/6FDA-ODA (0.25:0.25:0.5::1) caused a decrease in the dielectric constant (2.13 and 2.38, respectively). Such polyimides can find application in microelectronics such as flexible printed circuits and tape automated bonding applications.
Mechanical and morphological properties of high density polyethylene and polylactide blends
Authors: Madhu Gaurav , Bhunia Haripada , Bajpai Pramod K. , Chaudhary Veena 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Polyblend films were prepared from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) up to 20% PLLA by the melt blending method in an extrusion mixer with post-extrusion blown film attachment. The 80/20 (HDPE/PLLA) blend was compatibilized with maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MA) in varying ratios [up to 8 parts per hundred of resin (phr)]. Tensile properties of the films were evaluated to obtain optimized composition for packaging applications of both non-compatibilized and compatibilized blends. The compositions HDPE80 (80% HDPE and 20% PLLA) and HD80C4 (80% HDPE, 20% PLLA and 4 phr compatibilizer) were found to be optimum for packaging applications. However, better tensile strength (at yield) and elongation (at break) of 80/20 (HDPE/PLLA) blend were noticed in the presence of PE-g-MA. Further, thermal properties and morphologies of these blends were evaluated. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study revealed that blending does not much affect the crystalline melting point of HDPE and PLLA, but heat of fusion of 80/20 (HDPE/PLLA) blend was decreased as compared to that of neat HDPE. Spectroscopy studies showed evidence of the introduction of some new groups in the blends and gaining compatibility in the presence of PE-g-MA. The compatibilizer influenced the morphology of the blends, as apparent from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and supported by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR).
Krustenbildung, ein schützender und zerstörender Vorgang: eine Fallstudie am "Reials Col.legis" (16. Jahrhundert, Katalanien, Spanien) / Patination as a Constructive and Destructive Process: The Case of "Reials Col.legis" (16th Century, Catalonia, Spain).
Authors: Garcia-Vallès M. , Vendrell-Saz M. , Molerà J. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The "Reials Col.legis de Sant Jaume i Sant Maties" (Tortosa, Catalonia) is one of the masteφieces of the Renaissance style and was built in the 16th century with dolostones and calcarenites relatively well preserved and which are coated by an orange to black continuous patina. By studying samples obtained from different rock substrate and orientations the building stones and the layers forming the patina have been characterized by using several techniques (XRD, SEM/EDS, optical microscopy). The data obtained allowed us to establish a common sequence for this patina which consists of two layers: one micritic and one gypsum-rich layer in which, occasionally, there is bioactivity present living in and on the patina and the underlying rock. An hypothesis of the development of the layers of the patina is proposed on the basis of their mineralogical and petrographical features.
