The Role of Surface Annihilation in Annealing Investigated by Atomic Model Simulation
Authors: Yu Min , Zhang Xiao , Huang Ru , Zhang Xing , Wang Yangyuan , Zhang Jinyu , Oka Hideki 
Published: February 2013

AbstractBehavior of point defects in annealing is investigated a lot in order to suppress the Transient Enhanced Diffusion (TED) of boron as is urged by the development of integrated circuits. Surface annihilation possibility for point defects is very important in determining junction depth in the case of ultra-shallow doping. However the understanding on it is still ambiguous considering the inconsistent results on surface annihilation behavior. In this paper the variation of surface annihilation possibility is studied. The simulation on boron diffusion as well as silicon diffusion is performed. The evolution of Si clusters is simulated. By explaining experimental results with Kinetic Monte Carlo method based simulation, we proposed that surface annihilation possibility varies in different cases.
The Roadmap for Industry Adoption of the PRODML Standard
Authors: Ormerod Laurence , Crawford Mark L. , Lucas-Clements Daniel , Ranjan Priyesh , Tessier Carol , Vettical Celestine 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
The goal of the PRODML1 (Production Markup Language) initiative is to establish an industry standard for data exchange to support production processes within a "digital oil field" (DOF) context. The first efforts used pilots to demonstrate the standard in the form of XML objects and Web services. These showed software applications and databases from multiple vendors could be configured to seamlessly exchange data to partially automate specific production workflows. Subsequent work demonstrated the need for a higher level of interoperability with other standards such as WITSML1 and RESQML1 and for additional capabilities to improve work process automation. Development of an industry standard is difficult, and the challenge is greater when interoperability among multiple industry standards is required. This requirement has forced a higher level of coordination and development planning among standards groups. PRODML standards are now used across a wide range of commercial applications but adoption rates remain low. The PRODML Special Interest Group has developed a roadmap that projects industry adoption of specific capabilities over several years. The roadmap shows the development and delivery of the standard to support three high-level capabilities: surveillance and optimization, industry reporting, and shared asset models. The first aims to partially automate production processes; the second covers data exchange between third parties including service company&#45;to&#45;operating company reporting, regulatory reporting, and operating company&#45;to&#45;non-operating company reporting. The third is a standard set of data management services for managing and finding structured and unstructured data, accomplished by storing hierarchy or relationships of data and a registry of where the data live. This capability can serve as an interface to related standards such as OPC and MIMOSA and be used to integrate production, process control, and business systems. The roadmap has two major phases for PRODML development: industry acceptance and standards-based digital oil field. The initial phase emphasizes the importance of building industry awareness and buy-in of objectives through the use of the standards in commercial applications using the three capabilities. The second phase shows a path toward increased implementation across the industry in which PRODML will ultimately be the industry standard for production data exchange.
Does Mandatory Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards Decrease the Voting Premium for Dual-Class Shares?
Authors: Hong Hyun A. 
Published: February 2013

ABSTRACT
I examine whether voting premiums are reduced following mandatory International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption for firms that have a dual-class share structure. I find that mandatory adopters' voting premiums decrease, on average, by 8 percent subsequent to mandatory IFRS adoption. This effect is statistically significant relative to the corresponding effect for non-IFRS adopters. Further, I find that this effect is more pronounced in countries with strong legal enforcement and for mandatory adopters that experience an increase in the transparency and comparability of reported information under the new accounting regime. Taken together, these results support the view that mandatory IFRS adoption benefits minority shareholders by providing an effective mechanism to constrain the private benefits of control. However, one should interpret these results with caution as concurrent efforts to strengthen corporate governance regimes and the enforcement of corporate and securities laws may also contribute to the decrease in voting premiums documented in this paper.

Surgical stabilization of shoulder luxation in a pot-bellied pig
Authors: Rubio-Martínez Luis M. , Rioja Eva , Shakespeare A. S. 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
Case Description—A 4.6-month-old pot-bellied pig was evaluated because of non–weight-bearing lameness (grade 5/5) in the right forelimb of 4 days' duration.
Clinical Findings—Clinical and radiographic examination revealed a closed, lateral luxation of the right shoulder joint.
Treatment and Outcome—Initial attempts at closed reduction failed to provide adequate stability of the shoulder joint. Open reduction and internal fixation by placement of 2 lateral tension sutures with a system designed for canine cranial cruciate ligament repair provided adequate joint stability and a successful outcome.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Stabilization of the shoulder joint with lateral tension sutures after open reduction should be considered for management of lateral shoulder luxation in pot-bellied pigs.
Evaluation of a point-of-care portable analyzer for measurement of plasma immunoglobulin G, total protein, and albumin concentrations in ill neonatal foals
Authors: Wong David M. , Giguère Steeve , Wendel Mara A. 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
Objective—To compare the diagnostic performance of a point-of-care (POC) analyzer with that of established methods for the measurement of plasma IgG, total protein, and albumin concentrations in neonatal foals.
Design—Evaluation study.
Animals—100 neonatal foals < 7 days of age.
Procedures—Plasma IgG, total protein, and albumin concentrations were measured with a POC analyzer via an immunoturbidimetric method. Corresponding measurements of plasma IgG, total protein, and albumin concentrations were measured by means of automated biochemical analyzers via automated immunoturbidimetric, biuret, and bromocresol green dye–binding assays, respectively (standard laboratory methods).
Results—The sensitivity and specificity of the POC analyzer for detection of failure of passive transfer of immunity (FPTI) in foals were 80.7% and 100%, respectively, when FPTI was defined as a plasma IgG concentration < 400 mg/dL and were 75.9% and 100%, respectively, when FPTI was defined as a plasma IgG concentration < 800 mg/dL. The POC analyzer overestimated plasma albumin concentrations and, to a lesser extent, plasma total protein concentrations, compared with values determined with the standard laboratory methods.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Results suggested the POC analyzer was acceptable for determination of plasma IgG and total protein concentrations in ill foals. The POC analyzer overestimated plasma albumin concentration such that its use was clinically unacceptable for the determination of that concentration. The POC analyzer provided timely measurements of plasma IgG concentrations, which is necessary information for the assessment of passive transfer of maternal antibodies to neonatal foals.
Gangrenous mastitis caused by Bacillus species in six goats
Authors: Mavangira Vengai , Angelos John A. , Samitz Eileen M. , Rowe Joan D. , Byrne Barbara A. 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
Case Description—6 lactating dairy goats were examined because of acute mastitis.
Clinical Findings—Goats were considered to have endotoxemia on the basis of physical examination and clinicopathologic findings. The affected udder halves had gangrenous discolored distal portions with sharp demarcations from grossly normal tissue proximally. Udder secretions from the affected sides were serosanguineous in all cases. A Bacillus sp was isolated in pure cultures in all cases. In 1 case, the Bacillus sp was identified as Bacillus cereus.
Treatment and Outcome—Goats were treated for mastitis and endotoxemia with polyionic IV fluid therapy, systemic and intramammary antimicrobial administration, anti-inflammatory drug administration, and other supportive treatment. All goats survived to discharge. All except 1 goat had follow-up information available. The affected udder halves sloughed in 1 to 2 months following discharge. In subsequent lactations after the mastitis episodes, milk production in 2 of 5 goats was above the mean, as determined on the basis of Dairy Herd Improvement records, and 3 of 5 goats were voluntarily withdrawn from lactation. All 5 goats had successful kiddings after the Bacillus mastitis episode.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Bacillus sp should be considered as a causative agent in goats with gangrenous mastitis, especially when the Bacillus sp is isolated in a pure culture. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing is recommended for selection of an appropriate antimicrobial for treatment. Prognosis for survival appears to be good, although milk production may be decreased.
Factors controlling consumer behaviour in frontier towns
Authors: KulczyńskaCDFPMR Katarzyna 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis article focuses on the most important factors shaping the spatial behaviour of transborder consumers in Słubice and Frankfurt on the Oder, towns split by a state border. The factors are highly diversified and differ in the spatial range of influence. They can be divided into seven groups, viz. geographical, political- administrative, legal-normative, economic, demographic, psycho-social and cultural, and the foreign-language information layout of a town. But it is economic factors, like the level of prices in the given country or the currency exchange rate, that have the strongest effect on the movement of inhabitants and the intensity of transborder contacts between the two frontier towns

Abstract
Four new Antarctic holothuroid species are described for specimens from Admiralty Bay in King George Island. A new genus Dendrelasia O’Loughlin is erected for new cucumariid species Dendrelasia sicinski with dendrochirotid body form and elasipodid− type spinous rod ossicles. Cucumariid Staurocucumis krzysztofi has bowl ossicles predominantly with marginal teeth. Provisionally−assigned thyonid Allothyone presleri has table ossicles with spires comprising predominantly four pillars. Molpadiid Molpadia magdae has a prickly cover of irregular table ossicle spires and fusiform table discs in both body wall and tail. Staurocucumis liouvillei (Vaney) is a “species complex”
Studies on diversity of soil microfungi in the Hornsund area, Spitsbergen

Published: February 2013

Abstract
We assessed culturable soil microfungal diversity in various habitats around Hornsund, Spitsbergen in the High Arctic, using potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium. Thermal growth classification of the fungi obtained was determined by incubating them in 4°C and 25°C, permitting separation of those with psychrophilic, psychrotolerant and mesophilic char− acteristics. In total, 68 fungal isolates were obtained from 12 soil samples, and grouped into 38 mycelial morphotypes. Intergenic spacer regions of these morphotypes were sequenced, and they represented 25 distinct taxonomic units, of which 21 showed sufficient similarity with available sequence data in NCBI to be identified to species level. Soil under ornithogenic influence showed the highest species diversity, including sequences assigned to Mortierella macrocystis, M. elongata, Mortierella sp., Cudoniella sp., Varicosporium elodeae, Beauveria bassiana, Geomyces pannorum, Penicillium sp. and Atradidymella muscivora. Fourteen taxa were classified as psychrophilic, seven mesophilic, and four psychrotolerant.
Saurichthys (Pisces, Actinopterygii) teeth from the Lower Triassic of Spitsbergen, with comments on their stable isotope composition (δ13C and δ18O) and X−ray microtomography

Published: February 2013

Abstract
A rich collection of exceptionally preserved Lower Triassic fossil fish remains obtained during the Polish Spitsbergen Expedition of 2005 includes many isolated teeth be− lieved to belong to a saurichthyid actinopterygian. Stable isotope analysis (δ13C and δ18O) of putative Saurichthys teeth from the Hornsund area (South Spitsbergen) acting as a paleoenvironmental proxy has permitted trophic−level reconstruction and comparison with other Lower Triassic fish teeth from the same location. The broader range of δ13C values ob− tained for durophagous teeth of the hybodont selachian, Lissodus, probably reflects its mi− gratory behaviour and perhaps a greater feeding diversity. X−ray microcomputed tomogra− phy (XMT), a non−destructive technique, is used for the first time in order to elucidate de− tails of tooth histology, the results of which suggest that the method has considerable poten− tial as a future analytical tool.

Authors: Simon Mateja Rok , Tomšič Sonja , Šelb Šemerl Jožica , Nadrag Petra , Mihevc Ponikvar Barbara , Lavtar Darja , Korošec Aleš , Kofol Bric Tatjana 
Published: February 2013

Abstract

Background: Researchers have found that mortality is decreasing in all socioeconomic population groups but the
relative differences in mortality between lower and higher social classes remain unchanged or have even increased.
In Slovenia this has not yet been studied.

Methods: The analysis included all women in Slovenia who died in the 2005-2010 period and were recorded in the
Registry of deaths. Cause of death data was linked to data on the educational attainment of the deceased person,
which was applied successfully in 98.8% of cases. The rate ratios (RR) for age-standardised death rates were
calculated for women with a low and high educational attainment.

Results: The calculated gap in life expectancy at age 30 between women with low and high educational attainment
stood at 5.5 years. Women aged 0-84 with a low educational attainment had a statistically significant higher risk
of death than women with a high educational attainment (RR=1.65; 95% CI: 1.57-1.73). Inequalities in premature
mortality were even greater (1.78; 1.65-1.93). Educational inequalities in premature mortality were revealed in the
majority of causes of death, e.g. cervical cancer (1.99; 1.22-3.67), lung cancer (1.70; 1.30-2.26), cardiovascular
diseases (3.02; 2.41-3.91), causes directly attributable to alcohol (7.34; 4.96-12.27), motor vehicle accidents (2.23;
1.21-4.45) and suicide (1.68; 1.19-2.41).

Conclusions: Significant socioeconomic gaps in women’s mortality in Slovenia obligate us to more systematic
monitoring of health inequalities in the future. Further research is required in order to clarify specific reasons for the
major gaps in mortality from specific causes of death.
The role of cultural capital in producing good health: a propensity score study / Vpliv kulturnega kapitala na zdravje: študija nagnjenja
Authors: Kamin Tanja , Kolar Ana , Steiner Peter M. 
Published: February 2013

Abstract

Introduction: Following Bourdieu’s concept of capital, the paper discusses how different states of cultural capital
(institutionalised, incorporated and objectified) affect health capital.

Methods: The effect of cultural capital on self-assessed health is estimated with a propensity score matching approach
using observational data from the »Media consumption, class and cultural stratification« survey. The survey was
conducted in 2010 and covered the adult population in the two biggest cities in Slovenia: Ljubljana and Maribor (n =
820). The analyses investigate whether and how different states of cultural capital affect self-assessed health, and
whether there are gender differences in how cultural capital affects self-assessed health.

Results: Cultural capital has a positive effect on health: persons with high cultural capital report a better selfassessed
health than persons with low cultural capital. All states of cultural capital (institutionalised, objectified and
incorporated) have a significant positive conditional effect on self-assessed health for women, but for men only the
overall cultural capital has a significant positive effect.

Conclusions: Cultural capital is an important resource for gaining and maintaining good health and can be seen
as a source of (in)equities in health.
The differences in selected health-related behaviour indicators among women with different educational attainment in Slovenia / Razlike v izbranih kazalnikih vedenj, povezanih z zdravjem, med različno izobraženimi ženskami v Sloveniji

Published: February 2013

Abstract

Background: Numerous studies have found significant gender differences in health-related behaviour, while a lower
number analyse these differences within the gender. The aim of the article is to analyse the differences in individual
health-related behaviour indicators among women from different educational groups in Slovenia.

Methods: The analysis is based on the CINDI Health Monitor (2008) survey for Slovenia. The nationally representative
sample was chosen using probability sampling and the analysis included 4,237 women aged 25 to 74. The independent
variables are: education, in consideration of age, community type, region of residence, the presence of a partner and
children and self-perceived social class. The dependent variables are health-related behaviours: nutrition, physical
activity, sleeping, stress and care for own health. By comparing averages in health-related behaviour with education
and other factors and by classifying participants into homogenous groups, we were able to show differences in
health-related behaviour in women with different educational attainment.

Results: Individual health-related behaviour indicators show statistically significant differences between groups of
women with different educational attainment; however these are neither very distinct nor unambiguous. Women
with a higher educational attainment evaluate the majority of the indicators more favourably than women in other
educational groups, but differences can also be found within the group of women with a higher educational attainment.
The differences in the health-related behaviour of women with a lower educational attainment are relatively blurred.

Conclusion: The relatively small differences in health-related behaviour can be partially explained by existing
differences within the group of women with a higher educational attainment and the fact that the group of women
with the lowest educational attainment does not have the worst health-related behaviour indicators, which affects the
greater equality in health-related behaviour. On the other hand, the well-established universal and targeted family
and child care policies, which have been implemented in Slovenia for decades, also affect these results.

Spread of Veronica filiformis (Scrophulariaceae) in the Sudetes
Authors: Pielech Remigiusz , Zając Krzysztof , Malicki Marek 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
Veronica filiformis is an alien plant species widely distributed, across Central and Western Europe. The first observation of the species in the Sudetes was reported in 1942. Until 2000, only a few scattered sites were known in south-western Poland. During the last decade, V.filiformis was observed more frequently in many ranges of the Sudetes. In 2007, field works intended to discover new sites of the species were conducted as well as a critical revision of herbarium specimens stored in WRSL was performed. The number of known localities totals 37. Almost 65% of them were discovered during the last decade. The data are now summarized to bring up to date the known distribution and invasion scale of V. filiformis in the Polish part of the Sudetes.
Differences in the ultrastructure of two selected taxa of phytoplankton in a thermally stratified Lake Holzmaar (Germany)
Authors: Messyasz Beata , Czerwik-Marcinkowska Joanna , Lücke Andreas , Uher Bohuslav 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
This paper presents the results of ultrastructural studies and ecological aspects of some phytoplankton species belonging to the groups of cyanobacteria (Planktothrix rubescens, Synechocystis aquatilis) and green algae (Desmodesmus grahneisii). Specimens were collected during summertime from the mesotrophic and stratified Lake Holzmaar (Western Germany) as planktonic forms from the pelagic zone. The highest cyanobacterium concentration was detected in the metalimnion, where the alkaline pH, low phosphorus and high nitrogen contents were recorded. P. rubescens was characterized by straight filaments up to 1000 μm long and 5.4-8 μm wide and numerous aerotopes in cells. The accompanying algae were identified by ultrastructural analysis and photographic documentation was provided. In the case of D. grahneisii, chloroplast was situated in the parietal part of cell, with one large, oval pyrenoid and, in addition, the granular and spiny cell wall was an important taxonomical criterium for the Desmodesmus genus. This is in contrast with the cyanobacterium S. aquatilis, in which a homogeneous content with visible chromatoplasma was mostly distributed throughout the cell. This algal association was stable in the epilimnion characterized by the presence of high temperature, pH values (>8), nitrate nitrogen and oxygen concentrations
