Perspective‐taking induction mitigates the effect of partner attachment avoidance on self–partner overlap
Authors: BERNSTEIN ROSEMARY E. , LAURENT SEAN M. , NELSON BENJAMIN W. , LAURENT HEIDEMARIE K. 
Published: May 2015

AbstractAdult attachment avoidance has long been associated with relationship turmoil and dissatisfaction, and some research has highlighted the clinical potential of perspective‐taking (PT) training for ameliorating attachment avoidance‐related relationship difficulties. Prior research also suggests that prosocial sequelae of PT are mediated by increased self–other overlap. This study examined how a brief PT induction preceding an unresolved conflict discussion interacted with individual differences in attachment avoidance to influence postconflict ratings of self–partner overlap. The authors found that the PT induction buffered the effect of partner—but not one's own—avoidance on self–partner overlap. Main effects of PT condition and both actor and partner avoidance were also detected, and results remained unchanged when controlling for indirect intracouple overlap and relevant individual and couple characteristics.

Authors: DAILEY RENÉ M. , BRODY NICHOLAS , KNAPP JESSICA 
Published: May 2015

AbstractThis study assessed the role of friends in dating relationships, comparing on–off and noncyclical relationships. Participants (N = 460) reported on the friend most familiar with their current or recent dating relationship. We examined friend support of and influence on the dating relationship and the influence of the dating relationship on the friendship. Participants' friends (N = 98) completed a similar survey to compare participants' and friends' perceptions. On–off partners reported less support for the dating relationship than did noncyclical partners. On–off partners also reported greater openness, whereas friends reported greater frequency, of communicating about the dating relationship. Friends also felt the relationship changed the friendship more; friends of on–off partners in particular reported more positive change to their friendship.

Published: May 2015

AbstractBackground and objectiveThere is relatively little data regarding pulmonary function test (PFT) findings and impact of treatment on PFT in pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (pNTM) disease.MethodsWe performed a retrospective study on pNTM patients. Clinical, radiographical, microbiological and PFT data were reviewed. Patients were divided into three groups based on pre‐existing obstructive lung disease: (i) normal (no chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma); (ii) asthma; and (iii) COPD. We studied pre‐treatment PFT and assessed for PFT changes after anti‐mycobacterial therapy.ResultsA total of 96 patients fulfilled ATS disease criteria and had pre‐treatment PFT (54 ‘normal’, 18 asthma, 24 COPD). Most common causative NTM was Mycobacterium avium complex (76%), and radiographical disease type was nodular bronchiectasis (71%). Before therapy, all groups had PFT abnormalities, including obstruction, gas trapping and at least mildly low diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO). Pre‐treatment PFT abnormalities were more pronounced among patients with asthma and COPD. A total of 44 patients had >12 months anti‐mycobacterial therapy and post‐treatment PFT. There tended to be small and generally not statistically significant reductions in spirometry and DLCO in most groups. Among the nine asthmatic patients, there was a small reduction in residual volume (RV) (1.5% predicted, P = 0.01) and RV/total lung capacity (by 7% predicted, P = 0.06).ConclusionsPatients with pNTM have abnormal PFT, and treatment was not associated with substantial changes therein. Asthmatics may experience some improvements in gas trapping after NTM therapy, but because the sample size and the observed change were both small, this requires further investigation.

Published: May 2015

AbstractOoid formation remains elusive despite their importance as palaeoclimatic indicators and important contributors to global carbonate budget. Based on stable isotopes, nutrient and elemental analyses on solid components and ooidal leachates, this study supports the notion of microbial involvement in the development of ooids from Great Bahama Bank. Carbon and nitrogen isotopic analyses on organic fractions identified geochemical signatures of microbial activity. The δ13C values for organic carbon in the bulk (−11·9 to −16·9‰); intercrystalline/intracrystalline (−11·9 to 16·7‰); and intracrystalline phases (−12·4 to −17·7‰) were similar and, except for the more enriched values of ooids from Butterfly Beach, were within the range of photosynthesisers. The δ15N values for the bulk (+0·5 to −0·2‰); intercrystalline/intracrystalline (−0·3‰ to −0·7‰) and intracrystalline organic matter (−0·3 to −1·7‰) showed a narrow range consistent with nitrogen fixation. While positive δ15N and δ18O values of the leached from the ooids provided evidence of denitrification, the carbonate associated sulphate δ34SCAS of the bulk sediments (+19·2 to +19·6‰) and δ34S of the leachates (+16·6 to +18·3‰) provided weak indication of sulphate reduction, suggesting either that high concentrations of isotopically enriched S are overriding bio‐signatures of sulphate reduction or that microbes are preferentially using as an electron acceptor. In contrast, the elevated sulphate concentrations of the leachates suggest the occurrence of microbial sulphide oxidation within ooids. The high Mg/Ca of the leachates and scanning electron microscope analyses provide putative evidence of amorphous calcium carbonate and a formative role in CaCO3 precipitation. Together, these findings indicate that a redox dependent microbial consortium may influence CaCO3 precipitation in the form of ooid accretion, cementation and micritization. It is also inferred that ooid deposits are not suitable indicators of palaeoclimate because ooids are affected throughout their life by a complex chain of abiotic and biological processes which can lead to large geochemical offsets.
The long-term effects of military conscription on educational attainment and wages
Authors: Hubers Frank , Webbink Dinand 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
This study investigates the long-term effects of peace-time military conscription on educational attainment and earnings by exploiting a policy change that exempted a complete birth cohort from military service. We find that compulsory military service decreases the proportion of Dutch university graduates by 1.5 percentage points from a baseline of 12.3 per cent. In addition, being a conscript reduces the probability of obtaining a university degree by almost four percentage points. The effect of military service on earnings is also negative and long-lasting. Approximately 18 years after military service, we still find a negative effect of 3 to 4 per cent. The effect of conscription on educational attainment does not fully explain the wage reduction.

Published: May 2015

Abstract
Chemical industries leave much room for improvement in the areas of environmental conservation and resource utilization efficiency. The development of superior catalytic technologies is one priority area when considering current problems faced by society and the global environment. We have designed a variety of highly functionalized polyoxometalate (POM) catalysts for application to achieve environmentally-friendly chemical processes. The following four topics are described in this account: (i) high functionalization of tungstates, (ii) construction of multimetallic active sites effective for concerto catalysis, (iii) base catalysis with POMs, and (iv) the development of POM-based heterogeneous catalysts.

Published: May 2015

Abstract
A redox-active molecule, 2,5,8-tri(4-pyridyl)-1,3-diazaphenalene (TPDAP), was synthesized by four-step reactions. The two-step redox reaction was revealed by solid-state cyclic voltammetry. The crystal was obtained by sublimation under reduced pressure and characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. Oxidation of TPDAP produced a neutral radical that was characterized by ESR.
Change in the Natural Vibration Frequency Spectrum of the Steel Pipe Mathematic Model Depending on Sizes, Location, and Number of Local Defects

Published: May 2015

The article discusses issues related to the research of the influence of sizes and location of local defects on the change
in the natural vibration frequencies spectrum of the steel pipe model fixed on a single threshold. The research was made
using the finite element analysis (FEA) and the SCAD computing system. Nonlinear dependence of the natural vibration
frequencies on the defect size and its location was ascertained. Such nonlinearity in the course of defects accumulation is
classified as a genetic nonlinearity. Completed research reveals that the scale and the location of defects can be determined
by the pattern of their change during the monitoring of main dynamic characteristics in the course of the building operation.
It has been ascertained that the first frequency of torsional natural vibrations of the pipe declines with greater intensity
than the first and other lateral vibration frequencies in case of a specific location of a growing local defect. There have
been no regulatory requirements for the time being to the analysis of structures (flue stacks) subject to torsional vibrations.
However, for example, it was ascertained during the expert examination of anchoring of a steel pipe in service and having
vertical stiffeners throughout the height that all the anchors damaged circumferentially have an inclination to one and the
same side. Furthermore, the value of such an inclination coincides with results of observations of the pipe top deviation
change in azimuth.
An attempt was made during the research to determine the limit value of frequencies that would correspond to occurrence
of the first, the second or the third limit states of operated construction structures with defects.

Published: May 2015

Concentrations of heavy metals in Southern Kuzbass urban soils affected by coal mining industry and sity boilers
were studied. The risks of toxic effects of elements found in soils as a result of geochemical sampling (200 samples)
were identified. The hazard ratio during the intake of elements - toxins into the human body orally and via inhalation
was calculated. Analysis of uncertainty in the estimation of the average daily doses was carried out. The obtained risk
parameters fall into the category of permissible or acceptable. The primary contribution to the total hazard ratio is made
by the manganese, cobalt, copper, and arsenic. These elements show special features of the soil in the affected area of coal
mining, urban boilers everywhere and the activity of repair — metallurgical and foundry businesses locally. No pronounced
differentiation of the city areas according to the value of the hazard ratio was discovered.

Trial-by-fire: A case study of the musician–engineer hybrid role in the home studio
Authors: Bell Adam Patrick 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Historically there has been a literal and figurative divide between the roles of musicians and audio engineers in the recording studio. The emergence of the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) enabled the home recording studio to rival the sonic results of the professional studio, encouraging musicians to develop skills traditionally associated with audio engineering. A non-intrusive video-based method for conducting a qualitative case study in a private home studio is outlined and was used to document the music-making processes incorporating modern recording technologies by a 26-year-old male singer-songwriter based in New York City. Findings reveal that once the participant was engaged in the practice of recording his pre-composed songs, a reflexive approach to recording was adopted, integrating improvisation, rewriting and re-recording of song elements. The participant’s hybrid approach is demonstrative of how the musician–engineer barrier is challenged in the DAW home studio paradigm.

Published: May 2015

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) involves extensive and invisible integration of computer technologies in people´s daily lives: Smart Sensors, Smart Phones, Tablets, Wireless Sensor Network (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, RFID, etc.), Internet (Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, You Tube, Blogs, Cloud Computing, etc.). The Intelligent Environments (IE) collect and process a massive amount of person-related and sensitive information.The aim of this work is to show the awareness of privacy issues in AmI and to identify the relevant design issues that should be addressed in order to provide privacy in the design of Ambient Intelligence’s applications focused in the user´s domain and involved technologies. We propose a conceptual framework in order to enforce privacy that takes care of interaction between technologies and devices, users and application´s domain with different modules that contain different steps relating to the privacy policies.

ABSTRACTThe scalable storage of renewable energy by means of converting water to hydrogen fuels electrochemically hinges on fundamental improvements in catalytic materials. However, many applications exist where an extended lifetime is virtually crucial for their functionality and success, e.g. in case of limited accessibility such as tire pressure sensors or biomedical implants. For these kinds of applications, the ultimate power supply should be a self-renewing energy source. This strategy is pursued by the concept of Micro Energy Harvesting (MEH). Within a MEH system a micro generator converts ambient energy to electrical energy for driving an application. Unfortunately, it is not ensured that the ambient energy level will maintain always high enough to provide sufficient power to the system as harvested energy usually manifests itself in rather irregular, random and low-energy bursts. One appealing form of integrated energy storage is the use of H2/air, a so called fuel cell type (FC) battery. Such devices promise very high volumetric energy densities of more than 2000 Wh/l. Consequently, this type of battery has recently attracted more and more attention and primary as well as secondary cells have been realized. Alkaline polymer electrolyte fuel cells have been recognized as the most promising solution in order to overcome the dependency on noble metal catalysts. Nevertheless, further improvements for these kinds of fuel cells have to be reached with respect to high power. Therefore, one promising approach is to increase the skin surface of porous chromium decorated nickel electrodes for enhancement of exchange current density by forming three-dimensional (3D) microstructures directly into the electrode. Therefore, a novel laser structuring process was applied using ultrashort laser pulses. Ultrashort laser processing of complex multimaterial systems for energy storage allow for precise material removal without changing the material properties. By applying this novel laser-based structuring technique, 3D microstructures could be formed permitting shortened diffusion lengths between the electrolyte and the electrode surface being necessary for increased exchange current densities.
Morphology of Tantalum Nitride Thin Films Grown on Fused Quartz by Reactive High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS)
Authors: Thorsteinsson D. O. , Tryggvason T. K. , Gudmundsson J. T. 
Published: May 2015

ABSTRACTThin tantalum nitride films were grown on fused quartz by reactive high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) while varying the fractional N2 flow rate at fixed substrate temperature of 400°C. The film properties were compared to films grown by conventional dc magnetron sputtering (dcMS) at similar conditions. Structural characterization was carried out using X-ray diffraction and reflection methods. The HiPIMS process produces slightly less dense films than does dcMS and the surface roughness is similar for both the HiPIMS and dcMS grown films. The deposition rate for HiPIMS is up to 80 % lower than for dcMS but it can be roughly doubled by lowering the magnetic field strength by 30 %.

Published: May 2015

ABSTRACTRosette nanotubes (RNTs) are tubular architectures generated through the hierarchical self-assembly of the guanine-cytosine (G∧C) motif 1 or 2 (Figure 1). Motif 2 differs from 1 by the substitution at the N-atom in the G-ring with a C-atom as shown in red. In this paper, we prepare a new tricyclic G∧C base 3 from a functionalized derivative of 2 and demonstrate its self-assembly into fluorescent helical RNTs in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The self-assembly and fluorescent properties of RNTs 3 were established using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and UV-visible spectroscopy.
Razão ou Raciocínio? Clio ou Shiva?
Authors: Seth Sanjay 
Published: May 2015

Nós, modernos, estamos acostumados a acreditar que somente o Ocidente desenvolveu uma tradição de historiografia, enquanto que a maioria das culturas teria mitos, épicos e lendas no lugar da escrita da história. Assim, a despeito do fato de que cada pessoa tem uma história, essa história poderia ser narrada nos termos de uma historiografia racional capaz de redescrever o passado em termos alheios àqueles que estiveram presentes nesse passado, tratando as suas próprias formas mitológicas e épicas de registrar e de se relacionar com ele como, na melhor das hipóteses, matérias-primas não confiáveis na sua reconstrução. O presente ensaio desafia essas presunções.Ele argumenta que a história é um código, e que esse código é incapaz de codificar passados não ocidentais. Enquanto continuaremos, é claro, escrevendo história, precisamos reconceber aquilo que estamos fazendo ao reescrevermos os passados dos outros em termos diferentes dos seus próprios; precisamos pensar a escrita da história não com uma atitude imperial, como a aplicação da Razão ao passado, e sim como um diálogo entre diferentes tradições de raciocínio.
La poétique et les études du langage : vers l’inconnu
Authors: Neumann Daiane 
Published: May 2015

Résumé: La poétique proposée par Henri Meschonnic se construit à partir de l’épistémologie dans le domaine des études du langage, notamment à partir de la linguistique de Ferdinand de Saussure et d’Émile Benveniste. La notion de système chez F. de Saussure et la discussion sur la notion de rythme, la subjectivité dans le langage, la sémantique sans sémiotique chez É. Benveniste donnent les bases sur lesquelles se développe cette théorie. Sans omettre l’historicité de la poétique, ce travail propose de débattre des questions qu’elle peut poser aux études du langage actuelles, surtout celles relatives au domaine de la linguistique de l’énonciation et du discours. C’est le discours qui prime pour la poétique, ce qui amène à un rapprochement entre les études du langage et les études de la littérature, donc à une modification du point de vue et de l’objet d’étude. Réfléchir à ce changement de point de vue et aux nouveaux objets que nous pouvons y trouver c’est ce que nous nous proposons de faire.Mots-clés: Poétique; Études du langage; Linguistique de l’énonciation.Abstract: Henri Meschonnic’s poetics is built considering the epistemology from language studies, especially from the Linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure and Émile Benveniste. The notion of system established by Saussure and the discussions about rhythm, subjectivity in language, the semantic without semiotic, proposed by Benveniste are the basis to this theory. Regarding this historicity, this paper discusses some questions which can be addressed to the Linguistics of Enunciation and of Discourse. The study of discourse is primary to poetics. Therefore it approaches language and literature studies, thus changing the point of view and the object of study. We propose, in this article, to discuss this change of point of view and these new objects of study which can arise from this change.Keywords: Poetics; Languages studies; Linguistics of enunciation.
Improving Chronic Kidney Disease Management using Wagner’s Model for Chronic Care
Authors: Zuccaro Laura 
Published: May 2015

The incidence of chronic disease is increasing as the population ages. Consequently, the Canadian health care system needs to implement systemic changes to manage chronic disease effectively. This paper applies the six basic elements for improving chronic care found in Wagner’s Chronic Care Model (CCM) to the management of chronic kidney disease. A fictional patient, Paul, is used to demonstrate the usefulness of this model in managing chronic diseases at a systemic and individual level.
