Streszczenie
Procesy wzbogacania są głównym elementem składowym całości procesu przeróbczego surowców mine­ralnych. Efektywność procesu i potencjalną wzbogacalność surowca określa się za pomocą krzywych wzboga- calności. Istnieje wiele rodzajów krzywych wzbogacalności, spośród których jedną z najczęściej stosowanych jest krzywa Henry’ego. W pracy przedstawiono metody jej aproksymacji.
Artykuł został podzielony na dwie części. W części pierwszej przedstawiono aproksymację krzywej wzboga­calności Henry’ego X = X(y) dla węgla typu 31 (wykorzystano dane z jednej z kopalń Górnośląskiego Okręgu Przemysłowego) za pomocą dwóch metod. Pierwszy sposób polegał na wyznaczeniu zależności funkcyjnej pomiędzy zawartością popiołu a gęstością X = X0(p) oraz między wychodem i gęstością y = F(p). Następnie poprzez określenie funkcji odwrotnej p = F 1(y) i złożenie z pierwszą funkcją uzyskano szukaną zależność dla X(y). Druga metoda polegała na aproksymacji funkcji y = O(X) za pomocą połączenia (sklejenia) dwóch funkcji logistycznych (punkt sklejenia wyznaczono metodą krigingu zwyczajnego). Następnie poprzez funkcję odwrotną otrzymano szukaną funkcję dla X(y). Dokładność przybliżenia określono poprzez porównanie zawartości popiołu w poszcze­gólnych frakcjach oraz w całym materiale.
W części drugiej pracy zaproponowano sposoby określenia powierzchni X = X(d,p) za pomocą regresji pierwszego rodzaju z zastosowaniem dwu- i trójwymiarowych rozkładów Morgensterna oraz regresji drugiego rodzaju z zastosowaniem znanych rozkładów dwuwymiarowych lub przy pomocy metod dwuwymiarowej apro­ksymacji jądrowej, będącej jedną z coraz częściej stosowanych w praktyce nieparametrycznych metod sta­tystycznych. Podano również wzory na średnią zawartość popiołu w całym badanym materiale.

Streszczenie
Największego przyrostu zasobów rud cynku i ołowiu w Polsce możemy spodziewać się w obszarze śląsko- -krakowskim, gdzie w utworach węglanowych, głównie triasu środkowego oraz dewonu, występuje mineralizacja siarczkowa Zn-Pb typu Mississippi Valley Type. W regionie olkuskim szacunkowe zasoby prognostyczne wy­noszą około 50 mln t rud Zn-Pb, a w regionie zawierciańskim około 15 milionów t rud Zn-Pb. W sumie zasoby prognostyczne siarczkowych rud Zn-Pb stanowią obecnie 76-84,3% zasobów bilansowych rud Zn-Pb w udoku­mentowanych złożach. Zasoby rud siarczkowych Zn-Pb zostały zweryfikowane według kryteriów bilansowości z 2007 r. i oszacowane metodą autokorelacji wokół otworów z mineralizacją bilansową. W strefach wystąpień udokumentowanych złóż można liczyć na znaczny przyrost zasobów rud, ponieważ dotychczasowe rozpoznanie niejednokrotnie było oparte na zbyt rzadkiej siatce wierceń. Celowe jest przeprowadzenie szczegółowych prac geofizycznych (np. metodą IP). W przypadku pozytywnych wyników należałoby dokonać rozpoznania płytkimi wierceniami.
Zasoby tlenowych rud Zn (galmanów) wynoszą w złożach około 51,19 mln t, a w zwałach kopalnianych około 9,64 mln 11 są o około 30% mniejsze od zasobów udokumentowanych rud siarczkowych w tym regionie. Galmany występujące na obszarze śląsko-krakowskim z powodu niskiej jakości, zaostrzenia przepisów środowiskowych oraz konfliktowej lokalizacji w odniesieniu do gospodarki przestrzennej nie są obecnie przedmiotem eksploatacji. Zasoby rud galmanowych wymagają weryfikacji zgodnie z nowymi kryteriami bilansowości.

Published: June 2013

A rare case of subungual malignant melanoma in a 43-year-old male, with black dystrophic right thumb nail plate with positive Hutchison sign is presented. Early detection in malignant melanoma is vital for improved treatment outcomes and prognosis. Subungual melanoma presents in a more disguised manner than cutaneous lesions and therefore requires increased vigilance and awareness [1]. Patient underwent disarticulation just distal to the proximal interphalangeal joint. Histopathology confirmed malignant melanoma, and resection free of tumour cells. Our case highlights how any pigmented lesions within the nail bed matrix should raise suspicion and the need for early referral and biopsy.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol. 12 No. 03 July 13 Page 322-324 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjms.v12i3.13200
Les chapiteaux des portes de l'enceinte de Césarée (1251-1252) : de la tradition romane à l'art gothique

Die Kapitelle der Stadttore von Cäsarea (1251-1252) : von der romanischen Tradition zur gotischen Kunst, von Nurith Kenaan-Kedar
Traditionell hat man die mittelalterliche Bauskulptur des lateinischen Kônigreichs Jérusalem immer als einfaches Bindeglied der Einflüsse von Okzident und Orient gesehen. Es scheint jedoch, dass das lateinische Königreich des 12. und 13. Jahrhunderts selbst auch ein regelrechter schöpferischer Brennpunkt innerhalb der künstlerischen Entwicklung des Westens gewesen ist. So ist der romanische Stil des Königreichs Jerusalem wie in zahlreichen Schaffenszentren Frankreichs, Italiens oder Spaniens durch den Rückgriff auf Akanthusblattkapitelle oder bevölkerte Ranken gekennzeichnet, die von lokalen antiken oder von der Antike abgeleiteten Vorbildern inspiriert sind. In der gotischen Epoche, im 13. Jahrhundert, herrschte auch im lateinischen Königreich das neue Kapitellrepertoire auf der Basis naturalistisch inspirierten Blattdekors vor, das man auch im Westen antrifft. Solche Kapitelle finden sich unter anderem an den Befestigungen von Cäsarea - insbesondere an den Toren - die unter Ludwig dem Heiligen zwischen März 1251 und Mai 1252 errichtet wurden.

Published: June 2013

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Oral health may have an impact on general health with clinical implications.

Objective
To assess association of oral health with systemic diseases in the elderly.

Materials and methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 232 elderly subjects (above 50 years) who visited the geriatric medicine OPD at Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh. Oral examination was conducted using the WHO Oral Assessment Form (1997). Written informed consent was taken. Patients were grouped according to their systemic health into six groups: Healthy elderly (group 1), hypertension and coronary artery disease (group 2), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (group 3), diabetes (group 4), diabetes and hypertension (group 5) and hypertension (group 6).

Results
Average DMFT for coronal caries in the six groups was 23.8, 21.24, 22.15, 22.58, 17.83, 22.22 respectively and root caries 22.04, 18.05, 19.46, 14.90, 14.75, 18.62. Periodontal status was assessed by recording the CPI score and attachment loss. Chi-square test was applied, a significantly (p < 0.05) higher CPI score was recorded for groups 2, 3, 6 compared to group 1 while attachment loss was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in diabetics (group 4) compared to group 1. Applying the Z-test for proportions a significantly (p < 0.05) higher number of group 1 edentulous subjects were using upper/lower complete dentures as compared to groups 4 and 5.

Conclusion
Findings of this study indicate an inverse relationship of periodontal health with systemic diseases in the selected sample but further research is needed with larger sample to authenticate the results.

Systematic Review of Occupational Therapy Interventions to Improve Cognitive Development in Children Ages Birth–5 Years
Authors: Frolek Clark Gloria J. , Schlabach Theresa L. 
Published: June 2013

Abstract
This systematic review examined the research evidence for interventions used by occupational therapists to improve cognitive development in children from birth to age 5. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed by three teams of two people. From the selected articles, which described Level I and IV studies, two general categories emerged: (1) developmental interventions and (2) joint attention interventions. Developmental interventions occurred in neonatal intensive care units, home, child care centers, and preschools. Synthesis of the articles indicates that developmental interventions result in gains in early cognitive development (e.g., infant and preschool age) with inconclusive evidence for gains through school age. Educating parents of preterm infants to be more sensitive to their child’s needs and more responsive in interactions increased cognitive outcomes and joint attention. Interventions using joint attention enhanced generalization to novel situations and increased play, language, and social interactions in preschoolers with autism. Further studies that describe intervention strategies used to enhance cognitive functioning to promote preliteracy skills such as joint attention, imitation, memory, problem solving, and decision making and are conducted by occupational therapists are needed.
Interinstrument Reliability of the Jamar Electronic Dynamometer and Pinch Gauge Compared With the Jamar Hydraulic Dynamometer and B&L Engineering Mechanical Pinch Gauge
Authors: King Theodore I. 
Published: June 2013

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. This study sought to determine interinstrument reliability of the Jamar electronic dynamometer and pinch gauge compared with the commonly used Jamar hydraulic dynamometer and B&L Engineering mechanical pinch gauge.
METHOD. Twenty men and 20 women were tested for grip strength with the two different dynamometers, and 17 men and 25 women were tested for lateral pinch strength with the two different pinch gauges.
RESULTS. Grip strength measurements were approximately 10% higher with the hydraulic dynamometer, and lateral pinch strength measurements were approximately 18% higher with the mechanical pinch gauge. Paired t tests and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used for statistical analyses. The two-tailed p value was &lt;.0001, and the ICC indicated poor to moderate reliability.
CONCLUSION. When retesting patients, it is recommended that occupational therapists use the same instrument to measure hand strength because interinstrument reliability may be lacking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. This article describes a performance-based measure of executive function, the Multiple Errands Test–Revised (MET–R), and examines its ability to discriminate between people with mild cerebrovascular accident (mCVA) and control participants.
METHOD. We compared the MET–R scores and measures of CVA outcome of 25 participants 6 mo post-mCVA and 21 matched control participants.
RESULTS. Participants with mCVA showed no to minimal impairment on measures of executive function at hospital discharge but reported difficulty with community integration at 6 mo. The MET–R discriminated between participants with and without mCVA (p ≤ .002).
CONCLUSION. The MET–R is a valid and reliable measure of executive functions appropriate for the evaluation of clients with mild executive function deficits who need occupational therapy to fully participate in community living.

Abstract
Pediatric occupational therapy practitioners face a complex and ever-changing health care environment, creating many challenges and opportunities. P4 medicine is a systems approach to health care that emphasizes proactive wellness over reactive acute care disease management. The four Ps of P4 medicine stand for predictive, personalized, preventive, and participatory, concepts that align well with the practice of pediatric occupational therapy. P4 medicine offers a model for pediatric occupational therapy practitioners to demonstrate the value of occupational therapy services.
Infrared Spectra of Cyanoacetaldehyde (NCCH2CHO): A Potential Prebiotic Compound of Astrochemical Interest
Authors: Benidar Abdessamad , Georges Robert , Guillemin Jean‐Claude , Mó Otilia , Yáñez Manuel 
Published: June 2013

AbstractCyanoacetaldehyde (NCCH2CHO) and its isomer, cyanovinylalcohol (NCCHCHOH), as possible components of the interstellar medium, comets, or planetary atmospheres, exist in equilibrium in the gas phase, although the latter compound is very much in the minority (2 %). The recording and analysis of the gas‐phase infrared spectrum of the former compound within the 4000–500 cm−1 spectroscopic range and the potential presence of the latter isomer, which could be vital for their detection in these media, are reported. CCSD(T) and G4 high‐level ab initio methods, as well as density functional theory calculations, predict the existence of two stable rotamers of cyanoacetaldehyde. The global minimum has a structure with an unusual O‐C‐C‐C dihedral angle (150°) that falls between the antiperiplanar (180°) and anticlinal forms (120°). The second rotamer, which is about 4.0 kJ mol−1 less stable in terms of free energy, has a planar structure that corresponds to the synperiplanar form (O‐C‐C‐C dihedral angle: 0°). The absorption vibrational bands of the two aldehyde rotamers that are present in the mixture lead to a spectrum with a very complex structure in the region of deformation movements, in which several low‐intensity bands overlap. A complete and unambiguous assignment of the experimental spectrum has been achieved by using the calculated harmonic and anharmonic vibrational frequencies.

Published: June 2013

AbstractThis study examines the influence of macroeconomic news on price discontinuities in the S&P 500 index futures. Results document a strong association between macro news and price jumps. Over three‐fourths of the price jumps between 8:30 am and 8:35 am and over three‐fifths of the jumps between 10:00 am and 10:05 am are related to news released at 8:30 am and 10:30 am, respectively. Notably, among several types of news releases considered, Non‐farm Payroll and Consumer Confidence are found to be significantly related to price jumps. Our findings also provide insights into the speed of news absorption and the influence of alternative trading platforms on the jump return behavior. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

INCOME AND THE USE OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS FOR NEAR RETIREMENT INDIVIDUALS
Authors: Leth‐Petersen SØren , Skipper Niels 
Published: June 2013

SUMMARYIn this paper, we estimate how demand for prescription drugs varies with income for a sample of near retirement individuals. The analysis is based on a novel panel data set with information about the purchase of prescription drugs for a large number of Danish individuals over the period 1995–2003. Our preferred model performs better in an external validation test than models that can be estimated on cross section data. Results indicate that demand does respond to variations in income and that reforms affecting income will therefore affect the use of prescription drugs. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
OPTIMUM GROUNDWATER TABLE DEPTH AND IRRIGATION SCHEDULES FOR CONTROLLING SOIL SALINITY IN CENTRAL IRAQ
Authors: Qureshi Asad Sarwar , Ahmad Waqas , Ahmad Al‐Falahi A. 
Published: June 2013

ABSTRACTExcessive irrigation and poor drainage conditions are the major factors contributing to rising groundwater tables and soil salinity in the irrigated areas of Central Iraq. Therefore calculations of precise irrigation requirements are necessary to optimize crop production and keep the groundwater table below the root zone to avoid soil salinization. In this study, the soil–water–atmosphere–plant (SWAP) model is used to determine optimal groundwater table depth and irrigation amounts for the study area. SWAP was calibrated using field data from the study area during the wheat and maize season of 2011–2012. The modelling results reveal that under current irrigation practices (600 mm to wheat and 1000 mm to maize), more than 30% water is lost as deep percolation. This causes a rise in the groundwater table and reduction in crop yields. The model simulations suggest that a groundwater table depth of 200 cm together with an irrigation application of 500 mm to wheat and 600 mm to maize will be the best combination to attain optimal yields. Therefore a drainage system in these areas should be installed to maintain groundwater table depth around 200 cm. Maintaining adeeper groundwater table will not be suitable as costs will increase and crop responses negligible. For long‐term sustainability, rehabilitation of existing drainage systems to evacuate excessive salts from the root zone will be imperative. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
