A Component Retrieval Tree Matching Algorithm Based on a Faceted Classification Scheme
Authors: Wang Yao , Wang Bo , Liu Minghan 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
An efficient scheme of component retrieval can significantly reduce the cost of software reuse. For this purpose, a method of successfully retrieving of specified components from the component repository is a crucial consideration. However, neither the retrieval efficiency, nor the query-matching rate of the traditional method, which is based on a faceted classification scheme, satisfies the requirements of component retrieval. In this paper a novel component retrieval method combining the features of the faceted classification scheme and the theory of tree matching is proposed. This method not only accurately retrieves components that match queries, but also considers any incomplete descriptions of the retrieval component to completely ensure the relaxation ability of the component retrieval. The experimental results show that the retrieval matching method proposed is highly efficient, and it retrieves feasibly and efficiently the components.

Published: May 2015

AbstractCerebral folate deficiency (CFD) may be underdiagnosed, as it manifests with various non-specific neurological symptoms. The diagnosis of CFD requires a determination of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MTHF) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is available in a limited number of specialized laboratories. In clinical biochemistry laboratories, total folate (TF) determination in serum or plasma is routinely performed by automated analyzers. The aim of this study is to determine whether the automated assay of CSF TF is a helpful screening tool for CFD.We analyzed CSF samples collected from 73 pediatric patients. We measured CSF TF, serum TF, and CSF 5MTHF in 73, 70, and 48 patients, respectively. The assay of 5MTHF was conducted by a newly developed system utilizing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We investigated the correlation between TF and 5MTHF in the CSF.There was a strong positive correlation between CSF TF and 5MTHF (ρ=0.930, p<0.0001, n=48). Age was negatively correlated with CSF TF (ρ=−0.557, p<0.0001, n=51), serum TF (ρ=−0.457, p=0.0008, n=51), and CSF 5MTHF (ρ=−0.387, p=0.0263, n=33), but not with the CSF/serum TF ratio.The automated assay of CSF TF is helpful to estimate CSF 5MTHF. The CSF TF assay may have a significant impact on the early diagnosis of CFD, because clinicians have better access to it than the 5MTHF assay.

Abstract
The discussion of floods in this paper covers the section of the Odra River basin from its source down to the mouth of the Nysa Klodzka River and the section of the Vistula River basin down to the Krakow profile. The area of the upper part of Odra River basin is 13,455 km2 and the length of the river bed in this section is ca. 273.0 km. In the reach examined, the Vistula River is 184.8 km long and has a catchment area of approximately 8,101 km2. Geographical and environmental conditions in the upper part of the Vistula and Odra Rivers basins are conducive to floods both in the summer and winter seasons. The analyses conducted for the 19th and 20th centuries demonstrate that two main types of floods can be distinguished. Floods with a single flood wave peak occurred in the following years in the upper Odra River basin: 1813, 1831, 1879, 1889, 1890 and 1896, and on the Vistula River they were recorded in 1805, 1813, 1816, 1818, 1826, 1830, 1834, 1844 and 1845. In the 20th century, similar phenomena were recorded on the Odra River in 1903, 1909, 1911, 1915, 1925, 1960, 1970 and 1985, and on the Vistula River they occurred in 1903, 1908, 1925, 1931, 1934, 1939, 1948, 1951, 1970, 1972, 1991, 1996, 1997 and 1999. The second category includes floods with two, three or more flood wave peaks. These are caused by successive episodes of high rainfall separated by dry periods that last for a few days, a fortnight or even several weeks. Such floods occurred on the upper Odra River in 1847, 1854, 1880, 1888, 1892, 1897 and 1899; while on the Vistula River only two (1839 and 1843) floods featured two flood wave peaks. In the 20th century on the upper Odra River, floods of this type occurred in 1902, 1926, 1939, 1940, 1972, 1977 and 1997; on the upper Vistula River, they were recorded in 1906, 1915, 1919, 1920, 1940, 1958, 1960 and 1987.

Authors: Kaveh M. , Chayjan R. Amiri 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Advantages of infrared fluid bed drying include high heat and mass transfer coefficients, short process time, high quality and low energy consumption. Since heat and mass transfer and quality changes during drying of terebinth fruit with infrared fluid bed method is not described in the literature. Goals of this research were study the effects of different infrared drying conditions on the drying kinetic and physical parameters of terebinth fruit. To predict moisture during drying process, five mathematical models were used. Experiments were conducted at different levels of hot air velocity (0.93, 1.76 and 2.6 m/s), temperature (40, 55, and 70°C) and infrared radiation power (500, 1000 and 1500 W). Results showed that Demir et al. model had the best performance for predicting of moisture ratio. Effective moisture diffusivity for terebinth samples (6.2×10-11 to 7.3×10-10 m2/s) was achieved. Activation energy of the samples (44.4 to 59.13 kJ/mol) was computed. Maximum rupture force (118.4 N) was calculated at air velocity of 2.6 m/s, infrared power of 1500 W and air temperature of 70°C. The results proved that in addition to short process time, monitoring of terebinth fruit characteristics such as mechanical properties during drying process can be achieved.

Abstract
The paper presents the baseline climate of the Cotnari wine growing region, the climate under whose influence were set up the wine grape varieties, wine types and grapevine training systems of this vineyard. It is also presented the baseline climate suitability for wine grape growing and its spatial variation in the vineyard area. The study is based on the climate data for the 1961 to 1980 time period, previous to the beginning of the climate warming and, therefore, considered to be representative for the baseline climate time period. According to study results, the baseline climate of the Cotnari wine growing region was cool, with annual average temperatures by 8.5...,10.0°C, with a sum of the effective temperatures by 1081...,1382°C, with freezing phenomena at the beginning and towards the end of the growing season, and with very cool nights during the month of September (CI+2). Elements that generate the baseline climate suitability for wine grape growing were: high average temperatures for the month of July (19...21.1°C), long growing season up to 190 days, and high values for the global radiation, up to 93 kcal/cm2/April 1st - September 30th on the sunny slopes within the vineyard area. According to the multicriteria evaluation of the suitability for wine grape growing, 87.9% (1792 ha) of the vineyard surface was characterized by a baseline climate suitable for white quality wines and 11.9% (241.0 ha) by a baseline climate suitable for white table wines, sparkling wines and wines for distillates.
Moisture-Dependent Physical Properties of Seedless and Seeded Raisin (Vitis Vinifera L.) Varieties
Authors: Karimi N. 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Some physical properties of seedless and seeded raisin berries varieties were evaluated as a function of moisture content, varying from 16.12% to 35.63% (d.b.) for seedless berries and from 17.33 to 34.41% (d.b.) for seeded raisin berries. The average dimensions, shape, and mass of the both raisin berries increased as moisture content increased. The mass of 1000 berries increased linearly. Besides, in seedless berries, the bulk density increased, the true density and porosity decreased, while in seeded berries the bulk and true density decreased, but porosity increased. The Weibull distribution model statistically characterized raisins on the basis of berries dimensions for classifying and separating targets. The results indicate that classifying raisin berries by means of bivariate Weibull distribution in terms of the length and width is useful in describing the process under study and designing or calibrating the hole sizes of classifiers machinery.

Abstract
Rainfed wheat is generally grown in rotation with summer fallow in medium to high rainfall zone of Pothwar plateau of Pakistan. The present study was, therefore, conducted to investigate the impact of shallow and deep tillage practices, with and without herbicide (glyphosate) application, on moisture conservation and subsequent wheat yields. The study also aimed to examine the feasibility of substituting intensive shallow tillage with single application of glyphosate. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replicates and net plot size of 14 m x 10 m, during 2007 and 2008 at two locations i.e high and medium rainfall. Wheat cultivar “GA-2002” was planted as a test crop. The data showed the superiority of conservation tillage in terms of conservation of moisture and increasing grain yields. Results also elaborated that tillage cannot be completely eliminated for profitable fallow management. However, deep ploughing with moldboard followed by single application of glyphosate proved potential option for substituting shallow tillage carried out during summer (kharif). The additional benefits under this tillage system included saving in fuel, labour and lower depreciation and maintenance costs for tillage machinery in addition to unquantifiable environmental benefits.
Nitrogen Deficiency Stress Indices of Seed Yield in Rapeseed (Brassica Napus L.) Genotypes
Authors: Rameeh V. 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
Most of investigations showed that nitrogen fertilizers gave substantial rapeseed yield increases even in diverse and contradicting conditions but in a few studies were focused on nitrogen deficiency stress effects. Some of important seed yield stress indices based on application and non application of nitrogen (N+ and N0) was studied using six spring rapeseed varieties and their 15 F2 progenies. Significant mean squares of genotypes effects were observed for potential yield (Yp), stress yield (Ys), mean productivity (MP), geometric mean productivity (GMP), tolerance index (TOL), stress tolerance index (STI) and stress susceptibility index (SSI), indicating significant genetic differences of the genotypes for the stress indices. The genotypes including PF7045/91 and RGS003 had the high mean values of MP and GMP and STI, therefore considered as high potential parents in both nitrogen application conditions. On the basis of low mean value of TOL and SSI indices, PF7045/91 and 19H were considered as tolerant to nitrogen deficiency stress. Most of the crosses with high mean values of MP, GMP and STI had at least one parent with high mean values of these stress indices. Significant positive correlation of Yp and Ys with MP, GMP and STI, indicating selection based on these stress indices will increase the Yp and Ys of the genotypes. Heterozygosity had important role for stability of traits in different conditions, therefore in compare to parents their F2 progenies had low mean values of SSI and TOL indices.

Published: May 2015

Abstract
The knowledge about pome fruit trees bacterioses and their evolution in orchards is a major objective for plant protection. Erwinia amylovora and Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae cause on attacked organs of Pomaceae species similar dieback symptoms in vegetative and flowering shoots of quince, pear and apple in spring. Both bacteria can produce disastrous diseases in orchards and are therefore of great economic importance. Biological materials represented by vegetative shoots, leaves and fruits of Pyrus spp., Malus spp., Cydonia spp. were used after isolation of different E. amylovora and Ps. syringae pv. syringae strains for in vitro infections. Results presented in this study established that for in vitro inoculation of Pomaceae species similar symptoms in case of leaves and, respectively different symptoms for vegetative shoots and fruits occurred. The occurrence time was the only difference, because Ps. syringae pv. syringae spread faster than E. amylovora. The vegetative shoots inoculated with E. amylovora, in comparison to Ps. syringae pv. syringae, were more damaged and for both bacteria the highest values for attack degree were recorded in case of pear species, followed by quince and apples, respectively.

Published: May 2015

Abstract
Drought is one of the critical environmental stresses that affect growth and development of plants. Plants are damaged directly and indirectly under drought stress. Increasing water stress tolerance in plants is crucial. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different water stress levels (-1, -5, and -10 bars) and paclobutrazol application (0 and 50 mg-1) on strawberry cv. Paros. According to analyses of variance there were significant effects of drought stress and paclobutrazol application on leaf area, leaf dry weight, leaf relative water content (RWC), cell membrane stability index (MSI), proline and protein content of leaves. Leaf area, leaf dry weight, leaf relative water content and cell membrane stability index decreased in drought stress, especially at -10 bars. Proline and protein contents were enhanced by increasing water stress levels. Paclobutrazol application increased leaf relative water content and cell membrane stability index, proline and protein contents of leaves. Leaf relative water content was 68.77% in -10 bars drought stress that increased to 79% in paclobutrazol treatment. Also, cell membrane stability index was 69.65% in severe drought stress and reached to 77% in paclobutrazol treatment. According to the results pacloburazol is a benefit substance to ameliorate drought stress effects in strawberry cv. Paros.
The Process of Institutionalization of the EU’s CFSP in the Western Balkan Countries during the Ukraine Crisis
Authors: Đukanović Dragan 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
This paper analyses the Western Balkan countries’ relationship towards the instrument of the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union in the context of the measures undertaken by Brussels against the Russian Federation due to its involvement in the Ukrainian crisis. In this regard, the author first points out to what extent the countries of the Western Balkans over the past few years, that is, after the signing of the Stabilization and Association Agreement, harmonized their foreign policies with the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union. Certainly, the most important foreign policy challenges for the Western Balkan countries in 2014 are imposing sanctions against the Russian Federation. Some Western Balkan countries (above all, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia), according to the author’s assessment, are stretched between their intentions to join the EU and thus harmonize their foreign policy with the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union on one hand, and on the other, to avoid disruption of existing relations with the Russian Federation
CFD Numerical Simulation of Biodiesel Synthesis in a Spinning Disc Reactor
Authors: Wen Zhuqing , Petera Jerzy 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
In this paper a two-disc spinning disc reactor for intensified biodiesel synthesis is described and numerically simulated. The reactor consists of two flat discs, located coaxially and parallel to each other with a gap of 0.2 mm between the discs. The upper disc is located on a rotating shaft while the lower disc is stationary. The feed liquids, triglycerides (TG) and methanol are introduced coaxially along the centre line of rotating disc and stationary disc. Fluid hydrodynamics in the reactor for synthesis of biodiesel from TG and methanol in the presence of a sodium hydroxide catalyst are simulated, using convection-diffusion-reaction species transport model by the CFD software ANSYS©Fluent v. 13.0. The effect of the upper disc’s spinning speed is evaluated. The results show that the rotational speed increase causes an increase of TG conversion despite the fact that the residence time decreases. Compared to data obtained from adequate experiments, the model shows a satisfactory agreement.

Authors: Lasek Janusz , Lajnert Radosław , Głód Krzysztof , Zuwała Jarosław 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
In this paper some issues of the transition process from air- to oxy-combustion were investigated. Advantages of flexible combustion were described. Flexible combustion tests carried out at four European plants and five plants outside Europe of different scales of process and test parameters were presented. An analysis of the transition time from air to oxy-combustion of different laboratory and pilot scale processes was carried out. The “first-order + dead time” approach was used as a model to describe transition process. Transitional periods between combustion modes and characteristic parameters of the process were determined. The transition time depends not only on the facility’s capacity but also it is impacted by specific operational parameters.
Fabianism political doctrine in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century/ Doktryna polityczna fabianizmu przełomu XIX i XX wieku
Authors: Ziętara Wojciech 
Published: May 2015

AbstractThe Fabian Society is socialist organization established in London in 1884. Five years later, the Fabians presented the publication Fabian Essays which contained the key assumptions of political doctrine, called fabianism. The key ideas of fabianism include a collectivist economy, municipalization, the socialist state and the idea of democracy. The Fabians agreed that changes should be gradual and peace, with respect for the law and the presentation of the importance of British tradition in shaping the national community. At the same time the Fabians rejected solutions that promote individualism and capitalism, revolutionary and utopian changes in the social and political system. However, the Fabian doctrine was not found particular interest in political and social life in Europe due to its local and pragmatic character.
Feminist geopolitics: main problems/ Geopolityka feministyczna: główne problemy
Authors: Macała Jarosław 
Published: May 2015

AbstractCritical geopolitics deals with the deconstruction and analysis of texts and speeches associated with elites of international politics. It shows us how the world and its geographies are formed and shaped by discourse, as well as how discourse is shaped by the world. Feminist geopolitics goes further. It derives from critical geopolitics, but the most apparent difference is that it completely changes the scales of political analysis, away from the masculine discourse of states and international relations. Feminist geopolitics shifts the focus of international politics from state security to human security, and renders traditionally marginalised groups political actors, for example on discriminated women, refugees, social movements.
The Lifting-Extension Problem for Duchain Complexes of Dwyer and Kan
Authors: Spaliński Jan 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
A duchain complex of W. Dwyer and D. Kan is a common extension of the notions of a chain complex and a cochain complex.
Given a square commutative diagram of duchain complexes, the lifting-extension problem asks whether there exists a diagonal map making the two resulting triangles commute. Duchain complexes have a model category structure, and hence a lift exists if the left vertical map is a cofibration, the right vertical map is a fibration, and one of them is a weak equivalence.
We show that it is possible to replace the two conditions above, by a countably infinite, bigraded, family of conditions which guarantee the existence of a lift.
