Moment Analysis of Affinity Kinetics in Inclusion Complex System between Thymol and Sulfated-β-cyclodextrin by Chromatographic Capillary Electrophoresis (CCE)
Authors: Miyabe Kanji , Shimazaki Youki 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
We developed a capillary electrophoretic (CE) method for the kinetic study of intermolecular interactions. Neither immobilization nor chemical modification, e.g., fluorescence labelling, of solute and ligand molecules is required. A concept of chromatographic capillary electrophoresis (CCE) was introduced as an experimental CE procedure. In the CCE mode, the migration of solute–ligand complex in a capillary is stopped. Only solute molecules migrate and are detected. New moment equations were developed, which were essential for determining association and dissociation rate constants from elution peak profiles measured under the CCE conditions. The combination of the CCE concept and the moment theory leads to the CE method, i.e., moment analysis by CCE (MACCE). However, because it was hard to really perform CE experiments under the CCE conditions, we also developed practical experimental and data analysis procedures for the MACCE measurement. The reaction rate constants were analytically determined by the MACCE method for the formation and dissociation of the inclusion complex between thymol and sulfated-β-cyclodextrin. It is unnecessary to fit elution curves numerically calculated to those experimentally measured for determining the rate constants. It was demonstrated that the MACCE method was effective for the kinetic study of intermolecular interactions.
New Poetics of the Film Body: Docility, Molecular Fundamentalism and Twenty First Century Destiny
Authors: Flynn Susan 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Twenty first century film evokes a new topology of the body. Science and technology are the new century’s ‘sovereign power’ which enforces biopolitics through bodies which, by virtue of being seen at their most fundamental level, have become docile surfaces. The film body is at once manipulated and coerced into an ethos of optimization; a thoroughly scientific and ‘molecular’ optimization which proffers ‘normalization’ and intimately regulated bodies. In the film bodies of this millennium, bodily intervention results in surveillance becoming internalized. Now the body is both a means and an end of social control. This essay applies the philosophies Michel Foucault and Nikolas Rose to twenty first century Hollywood film, elucidating a new tropos, a new film body/body of film.

Authors: Zieleźnicki Jan , Grzybowski Adam , Błaszczyk Janusz 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Thanks to their advantageous properties such as higher durability, reliability and wide scope of speed achievable with a given load, brushless DC motors are often used in Line-of-Sight stabilization systems of the optoelectronic aircraft gimbals. Since there are many sub-types and configurations of such motors, choosing the optimal structure is not a trivial issue. This paper presents the selection process of a motor with properties that would make it ideal for use in an optoelectronic gimbal drive.

Published: August 2015

AbstractImmunoglobulin κ and λ free light chains (FLC) are important serum biomarkers for diagnosing and monitoring plasma cell dyscrasias (via the κ:λ FLC ratio), and assessing immune competence and activation status (via ∑FLC). FLCs are produced, in excess of heavy chains, from healthy plasma cells during immunoglobulin production, but unlike intact immunoglobulins that are cleared by cellular catabolism over a number of weeks, FLC are rapidly cleared from the bloodstream by the renal glomerulus with a half-life of 3 (κ FLC)–6 (λ FLC) hours. Marathon running has been shown to acutely and transiently decrease renal function, however, the impact of prolonged aerobic exercise on FLC levels remains unknown.We measured serum FLC levels in 60 runners before, and immediately after, the 2010 Eindhoven Marathon.A significant increase (p<0.01) in κ FLC levels was observed after the marathon, and κ FLC correlated positively with serum creatinine levels. No changes were observed for λ FLC, and thus, there were subtle elevations in the ∑FLC and FLC ratio in some participants. Indeed, we found that 13% of participants had an abnormally increased FLC ratio upon completion of the marathon; a phenomenon previously observed in renal diseases.Abnormal FLC ratios observed after exercise reflected an increase in serum κ FLC levels, which may be due to acute and transient reductions in renal function during exercise, though we also observed an increase in serum IgG and IgA and thus cannot exclude exercise-induced immune stimulation or immunoglobulin redistribution.
Blindsided by the Monospot test

Abstract
A 20-year-old man developed bilateral forearm paresthesias after propping his elbows on the desk studying. He was diagnosed with ulnar neuropraxia and instructed to follow up with a neurologist. The symptoms continued and the patient was admitted for a formal workup of his neuritis. A Monospot test was positive. The patient was discharged with a diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis. A comment on his complete blood count, showing absolute lymphocytosis with atypical lymphocytes and rare blasts with flow cytometry recommended, was missed, possibly due to the fact that it was not highlighted red on the electronic medical record indicating an abnormal result. A month later, an outpatient diagnosis of B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma was made on flow cytometry. This case highlights cognitive errors in diagnosis, including premature closure and failing to ‘see’ key data, as well as vulnerabilities created by data display limitations of the electronic medical record.

Published: August 2015

Abstract
The paper deals with the macrostructural and microstructural landscape changes in six selected microregions in Moravia and eastern Bohemia. Changes of the landscape macrostructure were evaluated based on the statistical data from 1845, 1948, 1990 and 2013. Changes of the landscape microstructure were compared on the base of old maps, aerial images and field experiences. According to the available data the area of an arable land was the largest in 1845. Since then it has been decreasing – more in mountain areas, less in lowland ones where it was replaced by forests, grasslands and urban areas, depending on the vegetation period, physical character and vicinity of urban centres. Results show that the microstructure recorded great changes during the communist period: large expanses of fields, irrigation and drainage measures, windbreaks, non-rural buildings in the countryside. Contemporary changes are connected mostly with urbanisation of the landscape.
Super PAC Spending Strategies and Goals
Authors: Dwyre Diana , Braz Evelyn 
Published: August 2015

AbstractSuper PACs can raise and spend money in unlimited amounts, but what do they do with their money? What goals do super PACs pursue in allocating their money? We analyze how super PACS spent their money in the 2012 federal elections. What principles guided super PAC spending strategies? Do they follow strategies similar to traditional PACs? We argue that their spending patterns have changed the dynamics of federal campaign finance by directing more funds to individual candidate races than in the past, particularly through candidate-specific super PACs. We find that most super PACs spend their money differently than conventional PACs in that they are less interested in access to sitting lawmakers and more focused on an electoral strategy to affect the partisan composition of government. Thus many super PACs behave more like political parties than traditional PACs.

The Cana Brava Complex is the northernmostand least well known layered intrusion of a discontinuousbelt of mafic-ultramafic massifs within the Brasilia Belt,which also comprises theNiquelândia and Barro Alto complexes.Available geochronological data from a range oftechniques (K/Ar, Ar/Ar, Rb/Sr, Sm/Nd and U/Pb) providea range of possible ages (time span from 3.9 Ga to 450 Ma),hence a precise and reliable age for the Cana Brava Complexis still lacking. Also, preliminary isotopic and geochemicaldata of the Cana Brava Complex suggest a significantcrustal contamination, which could have affectedbulk-rock Sr and Nd systematics resulting in meaninglessage determinations. In this paper, we present new U-PbSHRIMP zircon analyses from four samples of differentunits of the Cana Brava Complexwhich suggest that the intrusionoccurred during the Neoproterozoic, between 800and 780 Ma, i.e. at the same age ofNiquelândia. Discordantolder 206Pb/238U ages are provided by inherited zircons,and match the age of the metamorphism of the embeddingPalmeirópolis Sequence.

Abstract
Eocene to Oligocene volcano-plutonic rocks arewidespread throughout NW Iran. The Tarom-Hashtjinmetallogenic province is one of the most promisingepithermal-porphyry ore mineralized districts in NW Iran.The Glojeh gold deposit, located in the center of thisprovince, is a typical high to intermediate sulfidation epithermalsystem, spatially and temporally associated witha granite intrusion and associated high-K calc-alkalineto shoshonitic volcano-plutonic rocks. The intrusive complexesof the Glojeh district are characterized by: SiO2contents of 60.9 to 70.7 wt.%, K2O+Na2O of 7.60 to 8.92wt.%, and K2O/Na2O ratios of 0.9 to 1.8. They are enrichedin light rare earth elements (LREEs), and large ionlithophile elements (LILEs), depleted in high field strengthelements (HFSEs), and have weak negative Eu anomalies(Eu/Eu*= 0.5 to 0.9). 40Ar/39Ar geochronology appliedto biotite and feldspar, separated from two intrusives(Goljin and Varmarziar), and two feldspar aliquotsseparated from hydrothermal veins at North Glojeh andSouth Glojeh, was carried out to constrain magmatic andhydrothermal events. Plagioclase (± sericite), from NorthGlojeh and South Glojeh produced ages (42.20±0.34 Ma,and 42.56±1.47 Ma respectively) that overlap with the ageof the Goljin intrusion (41.87±1.58 Ma).Geochemical data for the volcano-plutonic rocks in theGlojeh district, that have87Sr/86Sr isotopic compositionsthat range from 0.706344 to 0.708331, suggest an origin involvingpartial melting of a depleted mantle source duringNeo-Tethyan subduction.
Lower crustal zircons reveal Neogene metamorphism beneaththe Pannonian Basin (Hungary)

Published: August 2015

Abstract
Neogene alkaline intraplate volcanic depositsin the Pannonian Basin (Hungary) contain many lowercrustal granulite-facies xenoliths. U-Pb ages have been determinedfor zircons separated from a metasedimentaryxenolith, using LA-ICPMS and SHRIMP techniques. Thezircons show typical metamorphic characteristics and arenot related to the hostmagmatism. The oldest age recordedis late Devonian, probably related to Variscan basementlithologies. Several grains yield Mesozoic dates for theircores, which may correspond to periods of orogenic activity.Most of the zircons show young ages, with some beingPalaeocene-Eocene, but the majority being youngerthan 30Ma. The youngest zircons are Pliocene (5.1-4.2 Ma)and coincide with the age of eruptions of the host alkalibasalts. Such young zircons, so close to the eruption age,are unusual in lower crustal xenoliths, and imply that theheat flow in the base of the Pannonian Basin was sufficiently high to keep many of them close to their blockingtemperature. This suggests that metamorphism is continuingin the lower crust of the region at the present day.

Abstract
Soil organic matter (SOM) content is one of themost important indicators of soil quality and hence theproductive capacity of soils. Northeast China (NEC) is themost important region in grain production in China. Inthis study,we assessed the spatiotemporal change of croplandSOM content in NEC using sampling data of 2005 andsurvey data of 1985. We also analysed the driving forcesbehind the SOM content change. Our results showed thatSOM content decreased in 39% of all the cropland in NEC,while increase in SOM content was only detected on 16%of the cropland. SOM remained unchanged in nearly half(i.e. 45%) of the cropland. Our results also revealed thatcropping intensity and fertilizer application were the twomost important factors driving SOM change. Overall, resultsfrom this research provided novel details of the spatiotemporalpatterns of cropland SOM content change inNEC which was not revealed in earlier assessments. Thedatasets presented here can be used not only as baselinesfor the calibration of process-based carbon budget models,but also to identify regional soil quality hotspots andto guide spatial-explicit soil management practices.
Ontology Storage Models and Tools: An Authentic Survey
Authors: Abburu Sunitha , Golla Suresh Babu 
Published: August 2015

AbstractOntology is a formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualization. Ontology provides domain vocabulary, domain knowledge, common understanding, shareability, information interoperability, reusability, concept hierarchy, and relationships that support semantic information retrieval. Ontology improves performance of the system by addressing interoperability issues due to semantic and syntactic heterogeneity. Vast numbers of application domain experts are using ontologies in diverse applications. Use of effective and efficient ontology storage system results improved performance in applications and enables semantic information retrieval. Many prominent researchers and software agencies have proposed and developed several ontology storage methods and tools with various features. The choice of a specific storage model/tool always depend on the specific purpose of the application and the nature of features that are available in the storage model/tool to be utilized in the specific applications. The familiarity of various ontology storage models and tools with the respective features helps user to choose an appropriate storage structure aiming at high-performance applications. The current research work is a comprehensively authentic study carryout out on various ontology storage models and tools with their respective features, which are very essential for optimum performance.

Published: August 2015

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of story mapping on the reading comprehension scores, on-task behaviors, and attitudes of third- -grade students (N = 6) with ADHD. Students’ reading grade equivalencies were assessed before and after the study. The teacher-researcher compared two other achievement measures before and during story mapping to assess growth. The practical difference in scores as calculated with Cohen’s d revealed that story mapping was successful in improving students’ comprehension. On tests from the reading basal, students’ scores improved an average of 16.00%, while tests from a computerized reading program improved 20.00%. Students exhibited on-task behavior 79.33% of the time and positive attitudes 82.33% of the time during the intervention. The implications of this study are important in determining effective instructional strategies to promote the active engagement of students and combat the core symptoms of ADHD.

Abstract
The theme of the paper is to reveal how well-prepared pre-service teachers think they are. It aims at reviewing the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 cohorts studying for a BA in TEFL at a university by examining the impact and the effectiveness of four- -year pre-service English education in a Chinese university context, and what needs to be improved and maintained from the perspective of trainees. Questionnaires were used, followed by semi-structured interviews. The questionnaires were completed by 300 participants, 200 of whom were then randomly chosen as interviewees. Despite finding some inconsistency in the four-year BA TEFL program, the result obtained from investigation of the cohort of student teachers is still satisfying.

Authors: Remini Boualem , Bensafia Djllali , Nasroun Tahar 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
In this article, we discussed the effect of sediment transport in the Chellif catchment on the silting of Boughezoul reservoir. Since 1934, when the impoundment of the dam, nine bathymetric surveys were carried out by hydraulic services. Based on the last two bathymetric surveys (1986 and 2005), we assessed the average annual rate of silting 0.67 million m3·year−1. Is a filling rate of 70% of the total capacity of the reservoir in 2011. Storage capacity has decreased from 55 million m3 in 1934 to 15 million m3 in 2011. Concentrations exceeding 300 g·l−1, recorded in the river upstream of Boughezoul reservoir, caused formation of density currents.
The influence of grape plantations on morphogenetic diagnostic indicators of arid subtropical soils
Authors: Mammadov Mammad İ. 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Results of the study showed that cultivation of the grey-brown (chestnut) and mountain brown soils under the grape plantation changes their morphogenetic and morphological characteristics in arid subtropical climatic condition. Performed cultivation caused migration of humus into the deeper soil layers. The denser horizon formed under a soft layer. This results in a change of the soil chemical structure and water-physical properties. These changes manifested themselves under irrigative condition.
Treatments of reverse osmosis concentrate using natural zeolites

Published: August 2015

Abstract
The purpose of the current study is to experimentally investigate the reduction of sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) from a concentrated stream of reversed osmosis (RO) using natural zeolites. In order to reduce the salinity of solution, experiments were carried out using zeolites of varying concentration, pretreatment of adsorbents, and the addition of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The results show that both zeolites can be used in an RO brine treatment; however, Rhyolitic tuff is more effective than clinoptilolite for the reduction of water salinity. The experiments show that Rhyolitic tuff decreases salinity of RO concentrate to nearly one – third of the initial value. Statistical analyses show that the effect of zeolite concentration is negligible. Furthermore, the addition of EDTA and pretreatment of zeolite increase the SAR values.

Published: August 2015

Abstract
Two extinct species of the modern genus Tetramorium Mayr, T. paraarmatum sp. n. and T. kulickae sp. n., are described from the Baltic amber (Poland, ca. 37 Ma). This is the first record of the fossil species of this genus. Described species resemble recent Palaearctic species, and we preliminarily place them to the inerme and caespitum species groups, respectively. Findings of other, previously non-recorded and not described yet fossil Tetramorium species from the Middle (or possibly Early) Eocene and Miocene deposits of Europe and North America are discussed.

Authors: Yakovlev Ye. B. , Kharchenko V. A. 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Steinernema arenarium isolate CH was prepared at 22 °C and used as a control in laboratory experiments on rearing in Galleria mellonella larvae at different temperatures (18 and 28 °C). Host dead bodies were examined every two days. All reared adult nematodes were fixed in alcohol and mounted on permanent slides with glycerin solution in distilled water. The basic morphometric parameters (L, W, ES, ABD (CBD), T, V) were measured, and statistical analysis was performed. Morphometric data in males and females of both generations were shown to significantly change depending on speed of growth and nutrients concentration. In both experimental groups, pygmy forms of adults were found.
