ESAÚEJACÓ COMO ROMANCE HISTÓRICO: ALGUMAS VOZES
Authors: Costa Neto Benedito 
Published: September 2014

Este trabalho investiga o complexo jogo de vozes do romance, Esaú e Jacó de Machado de Assis. A partir de algumas intuições de Mikhail Bakhtin e de Michel Foucault, analisam-se certos discursos sobre o romance histórico (tomando-se como base o clássico texto de Georg Lukács, O romance histórico). Encontram-se outras possibilidades de discutir-se o texto machadiano, dessa forma, à luz do que se convencionou chamar "análise do discurso".

Encarnação e a ficção romântica
Authors: Frungillo Mario Luiz 
Published: September 2014

Publicado postumamente em 1877, Encarnação, de José de Alencar, tem recebido pouca atenção da crítica. Entretanto, este romance, publicado quando o romance romântico já dava sinais de esgotamento, mostra diferenças consideráveis em relação à sua ficção anterior, dando mesmo a impressão de que, em alguns aspectos decisivos, representa uma revisão de valores, especialmente daqueles expressos nos romances urbanos do autor (e mesmo a sua inclusão nesse conjunto parece em alguns momentos discutível). O romance, em suma, parece por vezes um pêndulo a balançar entre as convicções românticas de Alencar e o assédio do realismo já em seus começos no Brasil. E, assim como se relaciona de maneira problemática com a ficção que o antecede, também deixa dúvidas sobre a contribuição que Alencar, morto prematuramente, ainda poderia dar ao romance brasileiro.

O principal interesse deste trabalho é explorar algumas potencialidades que podem ser extraídas dos documentos paroquiais setecentistas, através das argumentações e propostas expostas, considerando sua importância, não só, como mecanismos de controle da Igreja e da Coroa, mas, também, como suportes de informações sobre a sociedade civil de suma importância no campo de pesquisa da demografia histórica. Assim como promover um estudo compartilhado sobre as possibilidades de utilização do conteúdo dessas fontes primárias para a compreensão das relações e formação das redes familiares que se consolidavam a partir da recepção dos sacramentos do batismo e do matrimônio. The main interest of this paper is to explore some potentialities that can be extracted from eighteenth-century parish documents, through the argumentations and proposals exposed, considering its importance, not only, as mechanisms of control from the Church and the Crown, but, also, as information support about the civil society of paramount importance in the historical demography research field. As to promote a shared study about the possibilities of the use of this primary sources content to the understanding of the relations and arrangement of family networks that were consolidating from the reception of the sacraments of baptism and matrimony.
Transient bioimpedance monitoring of mechanotransduction in artificial tissue during indentation
Authors: Cheneler David , Bowen James , Kaklamani Georgia 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
Mechanotransduction is of fundamental importance in cell physiology, facilitating sensing in touch and hearing as well as tissue development and wound healing. This study used an impedance sensor to monitor the effective resistance and permittivity of artificial tissues, alginate hydrogel with encapsulated fibroblasts, which were kept viable through the use of a bespoke microfluidic system. The observed transient impedance responses upon the application of identical compressive normal loads differed between acellular hydrogels and hydrogels in which fibroblasts were encapsulated. These differences resulted from changes in the conductivity and permeability of the hydrogel due to the presence of the encapsulated fibroblasts, and transient changes in ion concentrations due to mechanotransduction effects.

Published: September 2014

Abstract
Non-invasive estimation of bladder volume could help patients with impaired bladder volume sensation to determine the right moment for catheterisation. Continuous, non-invasive impedance measurement is a promising technology in this scenario, although influences of body posture and unknown urine conductivity limit wide clinical use today. We studied impedance changes related to bladder volume by simulation, in-vitro and in-vivo measurements with pigs. In this work, we present a method to reduce the influence of urine conductivity to cystovolumetry and bring bioimpedance cystovolumetry closer to a clinical application.
Gunn or Transferred‐Electron Devices
Authors: Eisele Heribert 
Published: September 2014

AbstractTransferred‐electron devices are the only microwave devices whose operation is solely based on the bulk‐material properties of semiconductors such as GaAs or InP. These devices are mainly employed in low‐noise medium‐power oscillators up to high millimeter‐wave frequencies. James B. Gunn was the first scientist to observe the underlying physical phenomenon in an experiment and, therefore, these devices are often referred to as Gunn devices. This chapter describes the principles of operation, basic fabrication technologies, and common oscillator circuits for them. Different device structures for performance optimization, optimization procedures, and simulation tools are discussed. The chapter also summarizes the current state of the art of Gunn devices and the outlook covers the prospects of more recent device structures and material systems.
Using a Bayesian hierarchical model to improve Lake Erie cyanobacteria bloom forecasts
Authors: Obenour Daniel R. , Gronewold Andrew D. , Stow Craig A. , Scavia Donald 
Published: September 2014

AbstractThe last decade has seen a dramatic increase in the size of western Lake Erie cyanobacteria blooms, renewing concerns over phosphorus loading, a common driver of freshwater productivity. However, there is considerable uncertainty in the phosphorus load‐bloom relationship, because of other biophysical factors that influence bloom size, and because the observed bloom size is not necessarily the true bloom size, owing to measurement error. In this study, we address these uncertainties by relating late‐summer bloom observations to spring phosphorus load within a Bayesian modeling framework. This flexible framework allows us to evaluate three different forms of the load‐bloom relationship, each with a particular combination of statistical error distribution and response transformation. We find that a novel implementation of a gamma error distribution, along with an untransformed response, results in a model with relatively high predictive skill and realistic uncertainty characterization, when compared to models based on more common statistical formulations. Our results also underscore the benefits of a hierarchical approach that enables assimilation of multiple sets of bloom observations within the calibration processes, allowing for more thorough uncertainty quantification and explicit differentiation between measurement and model error. Finally, in addition to phosphorus loading, the model includes a temporal trend component indicating that Lake Erie has become increasingly susceptible to large cyanobacteria blooms over the study period (2002–2013). Results suggest that current phosphorus loading targets will be insufficient for reducing the intensity of cyanobacteria blooms to desired levels, so long as the lake remains in a heightened state of bloom susceptibility.
Cure efficiency of dodecyl succinic anhydride as a cross‐linking agent for elastomer blends based on epoxidized natural rubber
Authors: Mascia Leno , Clarke Jane , Ng Kiat Seong , Chua Kok Sien , Russo Pietro 
Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTBlends of a highly epoxidized natural rubber (ENR50) with unmodified natural rubber (NR) and ethylene propylene elastomers (EPDM) were produced to evaluate the mixing and curing characteristics. Dodecyl succinic anhydride was used to cross‐link the ENR50 component and the reactivity was assessed by monitoring the evolution of the torque in an oscillatory co‐axial cylinder rheometer, as well as by DSC thermal analysis. A physical model was used to obtain a single parameter for the reactivity of the system, which corresponds to the rate constant for first order curing reactions. Although the blends were thermodynamically immiscible, displaying no significant change in Tg, the components were well dispersed at microscopic level. Better mechanical properties were obtained for blends with EPDM. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015, 132, 41448.
Santiago Ramón y Cajal: The Cajal Institute and the Spanish Histological School
Authors: De Carlos Juan A. , Pedraza MarÍa 
Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTSantiago Ramón y Cajal was a self‐taught researcher. He almost always worked alone, usually in the solitude of his private laboratory installed at his home. He was also a university professor and therefore taught histology and pathology to many students. But because research laboratories were scarce and poorly equipped, he preferred to organize courses and tutor at home as well. For this reason, Cajal left a faint trace of disciples in the three academic chairs that he came to occupy. It may be argued that Cajal formed the histological school when the Spanish government decided to support his investigations and created a scientific laboratory for him, with funding to cover the cost of journals, instruments, materials, personnel, and so forth. This support occurred in the year 1902, after Cajal received the Moscow Prize. Some of his former students accompanied Cajal to the new laboratory. Upon receipt of new awards, including the Gold Medal of von Helmholtz (1905) and the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (1906), Cajal's popularity increased and a large number of students wanted to learn about the laboratory and work with the great Cajal. This review tells this history. But we realize that this is not an easy task because to be fair to all the people that formed the Spanish Histological School, we would need to write a book. This is not practical. Instead, selection of contributors to the formation of the Spanish Histological School is provided. At the same time, some brushstrokes of the story extend to and include the Cajal Institute, which ran in parallel with the Spanish Histological School.

Exploring the role of discourse in marketing and consumer research
Authors: Fitchett James , Caruana Robert 
Published: September 2014

AbstractThis paper reviews the development of discourse‐based analysis in marketing and consumer research and outlines the application of various forms of discourse analysis (DA) as an approach. The paper locates this development alongside broader disciplinary movements and restates the potential for critical DA (CDA) in marketing and consumer behaviour research. We argue that discourse‐based approaches have considerable potential and application particularly in terms of supporting disciplinary reflexivity and research criticality. A discursive lens offers novel ways of understanding marketing as a subject/discipline as well as how marketing academics conceive and investigate objects of marketing inquiry. The objectives of this paper are fourfold: to outline the development of discourse and text‐based studies in marketing and consumer research; to reveal how this has shaped, framed and limited the application and utilisation of DA in particular ways; to synthesise the main principles of DA generally and CDA specifically; and highlight how these approaches could be applied to a range of marketing and consumer behaviour issues and contexts.

Evolutionarily conserved organization of the dopaminergic system in lamprey: SNc/VTA afferent and efferent connectivity and D2 receptor expression
Authors: Pérez‐Fernández Juan , Stephenson‐Jones Marcus , Suryanarayana Shreyas M. , Robertson Brita , Grillner Sten 
Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTThe dopaminergic system influences motor behavior, signals reward and novelty, and is an essential component of the basal ganglia in all vertebrates including the lamprey, one of the phylogenetically oldest vertebrates. The intrinsic organization and function of the lamprey basal ganglia is highly conserved. For instance, the direct and indirect pathways are modulated through dopamine D1 and D2 receptors in lamprey and in mammals. The nucleus of the tuberculum posterior, a homologue of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc)/ventral tegmental area (VTA) is present in lamprey, but only scarce data exist about its connectivity. Likewise, the D2 receptor is expressed in the striatum, but little is known about its localization in other brain areas. We used in situ hybridization and tracer injections, both in combination with tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry, to characterize the SNc/VTA efferent and afferent connectivity, and to relate its projection pattern with D2 receptor expression in particular. We show that most features of the dopaminergic system are highly conserved. As in mammals, the direct pallial (cortex in mammals) input and the basal ganglia connectivity with the SNc/VTA are present as part of the evaluation system, as well as input from the tectum as the evolutionary basis for salience/novelty detection. Moreover, the SNc/VTA receives sensory information from the olfactory bulbs, optic tectum, octavolateral area, and dorsal column nucleus, and it innervates, apart from the nigrostriatal pathway, several motor‐related areas. This suggests that the dopaminergic system also contributes to the control of different motor centers at the brainstem level. J. Comp. Neurol. 522:3775–3794, 2014. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Evidence of local short‐distance spawning migration of tropical freshwater eels, and implications for the evolution of freshwater eel migration
Authors: Arai Takaomi 
Published: September 2014

AbstractFreshwater eels have fascinated biologists for centuries due to the spectacular long‐distance migrations between the eels’ freshwater habitats and their spawning areas far out in the ocean and the mysteries of their ecology. The spawning areas of Atlantic eels and Japanese eel were located far offshore in the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, respectively, and their reproduction took place thousands of kilometers away from their growth habitats. Phylogenetic studies have revealed that freshwater eels originated in the Indonesian region. However, remarkably little is known about the life histories of tropical freshwater eels despite the fact that tropical eels are key to understanding the nature of primitive forms of catadromous migration. This study found spawning‐condition tropical freshwater eels in Lake Poso, central Sulawesi, Indonesia, with considerably high gonadosomatic index values and with histologically fully developed gonads. This study provides the first evidence that under certain conditions, freshwater eels have conditions that are immediately able to spawn even in river downstream. The results suggest that, in contrast to the migrations made by the Atlantic and Japanese eels, freshwater eels originally migrated only short distances of <100 kilometers to local spawning areas adjacent to their freshwater growth habitats. Ancestral eels most likely underwent a catadromous migration from local short‐distance movements in tropical coastal waters to the long‐distance migrations characteristic of present‐day temperate eels, which has been well established as occurring in subtropical gyres in both hemispheres.
Dust effects on snowpack melt and related ecosystem processes are secondary to those of forest canopy structure and interannual snowpack variability
Authors: Maurer Gregory E. , Bowling David R. 
Published: September 2014

AbstractDust deposition lowers the albedo of snow and can significantly alter snowpack energy balance. Investigation of aeolian dust deposition in the mountains of the western U.S. has shown that these effects advance the timing of snowpack melt and spring runoff across much of the region. These studies have primarily focused on alpine snowpacks with little to no overstory vegetation. To evaluate the impacts of aeolian dust on ecohydrological processes in forests, we conducted a manipulative experiment in a subalpine conifer forest in Utah's Wasatch Mountains. During the spring of 2010–2012, we added dust to the snow surface in forested plots every 1 to 2 weeks, roughly doubling the natural dust loading. We then measured snowpack ablation in control and dust addition plots, along with below‐snowpack and warm season soil temperature (Tsoil), soil water content (θ), litter decomposition rate (D), soil respiration rate (Rs), and tree xylem water potential (ψ). Differences in ablation between control and dust addition plots were similar in magnitude to differences associated with the canopy structure of the forest. Seasonal patterns in Tsoil and θ were similar between dust treatments and canopy structure groups. D, Rs, and ψ varied little between dust treatments, but there were significant differences between years. During our 3‐year study, an unusual level of interannual variability in snowfall had the greatest effect on the soil environment and ecosystem processes. The effects of aeolian dust on snowpack mass and energy balance in our forest were slightly smaller than those associated with canopy structure. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Comparing two approaches for parsimonious vegetation modelling in semiarid regions using satellite data
Authors: Pasquato Marta , Medici Chiara , Friend Andrew D. , Francés Félix 
Published: September 2014

AbstractLarge portions of Earth's terrestrial surface are arid or semiarid. As in these regions, the hydrological cycle and the vegetation dynamics are tightly interconnected, a coupled modelling of these two systems is needed to fully reproduce the ecosystem behaviour. In this paper, the performance of two parsimonious dynamic vegetation models, suitable for the inclusion in operational ecohydrological models and based on well‐established but different approaches, is compared in a semiarid Aleppo Pine region. The first model [water use efficiency (WUE) model] links growth to transpiration through WUE; the second model [light use efficiency (LUE) model] simulates biomass increase in relation to absorbed photosynthetically active radiation and LUE. Furthermore, an analysis of the information contained in MODIS products is presented to indicate the best vegetation indices to be used as observational verification for the models. Enhanced Vegetation Index is reported in literature to be highly correlated with leaf area index, so it is compared with modelled LAImod (rWUE model = 0.45; rLUE model = 0.57). In contrast, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index appears highly linked to soil moisture, through the control exerted by this variable on chlorophyll production, and is therefore used to analyze LAI*mod, models' output corrected by plant water stress (rWUE model = 0.62; rLUE model = 0.59). Moderate‐resolution imaging spectroradiometer Leaf Area Index and evapotranspiration are found to be unrealistic in the studied area. The performance of both models in this semiarid region is found to be reasonable. However, the LUE model presents the advantages of a better performance, the possibility to be used in a wider range of climates and to have been extensively tested in literature.

Chain Extension of Boronic Esters with Lithiooxiranes Generated by Sulfoxide–Metal Exchange – Stereocontrolled Access to 2°/2°, 2°/3°, and 3°/3° Vicinal Diols and Related Compounds
Authors: Alwedi Embarek , Zakharov Lev N. , Blakemore Paul R. 
Published: September 2014

AbstractLithiooxiranes [LiCR1(O)CR2R3, R1 = H, Me; R2/R3 = H/Ph, H/tBu, Me/Ph], generated by sulfoxide–lithium exchange from stereodefined sulfinyl epoxides (with use of PhLi or tBuLi, THF, at or below –90 °C), were employed for the stereospecific reagent‐controlled homologation of boronic esters R0–Bpin (R0 = BnCH2, allyl, cHex, Ph). Addition of TBSOTf to the intermediate ate complexes gave β‐silyloxyboronates that were converted to vicinal diol monosilyl ethers by oxidative work‐up with aq. NaOOH. The 2°/2° (4–32 %, dr > 98:2), 2°/3° (21–66 %, dr ≥ 65:35), and 3°/3° (59–68 %, dr ≥ 95:5) contiguous stereodiad‐containing compounds created in this manner were typically obtained in a highly stereocontrolled manner. In general, cis‐sulfinyl epoxides afforded anti‐like stereodiads, whereas trans‐sulfinyl epoxides afforded syn‐like stereodiads; however, as a result of its suspected configurational instability, LiCMe(O)CHPh gave anti‐like 2°/3° motifs regardless of sulfinyl epoxide stereochemistry.
Decarboxylation of a Wide Range of Amino Acids with Electrogenerated Hypobromite

Published: September 2014

AbstractBromide‐assisted electrochemical decarboxylation efficiently produces valuable nitriles in high yields from a wide range of naturally occurring amino acids in a single step. Bromide salts are used as both redox mediators and supporting electrolytes in a simple one‐compartment setup. As demonstrated for lysine, the selectivity of the decarboxylation can be tuned towards nitriles, amines or amides.
