Польские отклики на кончину
Л. Н. Толстого

Интерес к Толстому в Польше интенсифицировался с появлением Воскресения и с юбилеем 1908-го годa, отмеченном статьями Сенкевича, Пруса и Элизы Ожешко. На смерть писателя откликнулись все газеты и журналы. На траурной встрече в Кракове, организованной Славянским клубом, выступили в частности известный публицист Адам Шиманьский и профессор Ягеллонского университета Мариан Здзеховский. Особенно выделяются статьи трех публицистов, Тадеушa Рехневского (Вильно), Генрихa С. Каменьского (Варшава) и Казимержa Чапиньского (Краков), пытавшихся дать общую оценку творчества писателя. Три известных писателя выступили с оригинальными литературными портретами: Адам Гжимала-Седлецкий, Юзеф Вейссенгоф и поэт Болеслав Лесьмян.

Отклики на смерть Л. Н. Толстого
в свете восприятия творчества великого писателя в итальянской культуре
конца XIX-начала ХХ века

В данной статье представлен общий обзор откликов итальянской прессы на известие о смерти Л. Н. Толстого. В ней приводятся мнения итальянских писателей, мыслителей и журналистов, отрaжающие пеструю картину широкого успеха Л. Н. Толстого и его творчества в Италии в начале ХХ века. Особое внимание уделено литературным журналам Il Marzocco и Nuova Antologia. Многочисленные споры и полемика вокруг
литературных, политических и религиозных аспектов толстовского наследия выявляют во всей полноте оригинальность итальянского восприятия творчества и философских воззрений великого писателя. Данное обстоятельство подтверждает глубокое влияние его наследия на итальянскую культуру. Особенно интересны высказывания итальянских религиозных мыслителей о толстовстве, в частности, на почве католического модернизма. Образ Толстого оказался элементом вдохнoвения для многих итальянских писателей, как в случае поэмы Джованни Пасколи Толстой.

When the Soviet Avant-Garde Influences French Literature
Tolstoj is Dead by Vladimir Pozner (1935)

Constructed like a montage, Tolstoj is Dead by Vladimir Pozner is the result of a gathering of various documents concerning the last days of the writer (dispaches, passages from newspapers, from personal diaries of his closest relatives, notes written by his doctors, office correspondence and police reports) while he is dying in the small station of Astapovo. This anti-novel is a radical experience within French literature, as it has adopted the new writing techniques recommended by the Left Front of Arts (LEF).
Identification and ecological characterisation ofChoristoneura occidentalis(Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) populations in southwestern Alberta, Canada
Authors: Brunet Bryan M.T. , Hundsdoerfer Anina E. , Sperling Felix A.H. 
Published: August 2013

AbstractThe western spruce budworm,Choristoneura occidentalisFreeman (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is an important pest of western North American coniferous forests, where its principal larval host is Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir,Pseudotsuga menziesiisubspeciesglauca(Beissner) Murray (Pinaceae). In southwestern Alberta, Canada, populations were recently discovered feeding on an unconventional host, an Engelmann spruce,Picea engelmanniiParry ex. Engelmann × white spruce,Picea glauca(Moench) Voss hybrid (Pinaceae), in a transition zone between the two major forest types characterised by these conifer species. We use molecular evidence to verify the species identity of outbreakingChoristoneurapopulations collected from Douglas-fir and hybrid spruces in southwestern Alberta in 2009, and characterise the larval and male moth phenology. Both mitochondrial and microsatellite markers confirmed these populations asC. occidentalis, but admixture withChoristoneura fumiferana(Clemens) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) was detected in some individuals. Few differences associated with separate host trees were evident in the phenology of larvae and the flight period of male moths.
An Exploratory Study of Adult Amateur Musicians’ Identification of Instrumental Timbre
Authors: Schlegel Amanda L. , Lane Jeremy S. 
Published: August 2013

Abstract
In this exploratory study, members of an adult community band (N = 38) completed a listening task in which they attempted to identify instruments performing single-tone excerpts and determine the level of expertise of the performer (professional or beginner). We created two different conditions (tones that included initial attack and tones with sustain only and no initial attack) among tones produced by four different instruments (flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet) on two different pitches (F4 and B-flat4). Results of data analysis indicated that participants were more successful identifying tones that included the initial attack (as opposed to tones consisting of sustain only). Trumpet was the instrument identified accurately most consistently, and participants were more accurate identifying instrument timbre when the pitch was F4 rather than B-flat 4. Results indicated significant three-way interactions between pitch, attack presence, and instrument, and also between pitch, expertise, and attack presence. The presence of the initial attack was a significant variable affecting participants’ ability to identify instrumental timbre, a result consistent with findings of previous research. One unique finding suggested that performer expertise did not significantly affect participants’ perception of timbre; findings of previous studies using collegiate-level musicians and nonmusicians indicated a significant effect related to performer expertise. Though not significant, a negative correlation (r = -.20) between participants’ age and overall score on the task implies perception may be affected by age.
Double Exposure: The Effects of Repeated Identification Lineups on Eyewitness Accuracy
Authors: Steblay Nancy K. , Tix Robert W. , Benson Samantha L. 
Published: August 2013

SummaryEyewitnesses may be asked to identify the same suspect from a lineup on successive occasions. This study explored the effects on eyewitness decisions of repeated same‐suspect lineups, within a 2 × 2 × 2 mixed‐model factorial design. Witnesses to a video crime attempted to identify the culprit from two same‐format lineups (simultaneous or sequential) separated by a 2‐week retention interval (Lineup1, Lineup2) in which a suspect (guilty or innocent) was common to the lineups. We predicted two components of a posited repeated lineup effect: that positive identification errors made at the first lineup would be carried forward rather than corrected at the second lineup and that the number of false identifications of the innocent suspect would rise from first to second lineup. Predictions were supported, with a stronger negative impact of repeated lineups for simultaneous than sequential lineups. Additionally, witnesses who made selections of the guilty suspect and of the innocent suspect at Lineup2 were equally confident and were significantly more confident than witnesses who declined to pick. The results underscore concerns about possible negative outcomes from repeated lineups. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Design and Synthesis of 4‐Alkyl‐2‐amino(acetamino)‐6‐aryl‐1,3‐thiazine Derivatives as Influenza Neuraminidase Inhibitors
Authors: Li Wan , Xia Lin , Hu Aixi , Liu Ailin , Peng Junmei , Tan Weiqing 
Published: August 2013

AbstractWith a convenient and economical method, two series of 1,3‐thiazine derivatives 1 and 2 were synthesized, and their neuraminidase (NA) inhibitory activities were evaluated. The pharmacological results showed that most of the compounds have potent NA inhibitory activity. Especially, 1g exhibited the best activity against influenza virus A (H1N1) NA (IC50 = 29.06 µg/mL), and its crystal structure was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The preliminary biological assay indicated that 1,3‐thiazine could be used as a core structure to design novel influenza NA inhibitors.
Transient stress‐based and strain‐based hemolysis estimation in a simplified blood pump
Authors: Pauli Lutz , Nam Jaewook , Pasquali Matteo , Behr Marek 
Published: August 2013

SUMMARYWe compare two approaches to numerical estimation of mechanical hemolysis in a simplified blood pump model. The stress‐based model relies on the instantaneous shear stress in the blood flow, whereas the strain‐based model uses an additional tensor equation to relate distortion of red blood cells to a shear stress measure. We use the newly proposed least‐squares finite element method (LSFEM) to prevent negative concentration fields and show a stable and volume preserving LSFEM for the tensor equation. Application of both models to a simplified centrifugal blood pump at three different operating conditions shows that the stress‐based model overestimates the rate of hemolysis. The strain‐based model is found to deliver lower hemolysis rates because it incorporates a more detailed description of biophysical phenomena into the simulation process.

Highly parallelized inference of large genome‐based phylogenies
Authors: Meier‐Kolthoff Jan P. , Auch Alexander F. , Klenk Hans‐Peter , Göker Markus 
Published: August 2013

SUMMARYGenome Blast Distance Phylogeny (GBDP) infers distances and phylogenetic relationships between organisms from completely or partially sequenced genomes. It is well suited for parallelization as pairwise distances are calculated independently. As exemplar data for a high‐performance cluster implementation that executes many pairwise genome comparisons in parallel, we here used sequences from the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project. Phylogenies were inferred from genome‐scale nucleotide and amino acid data with all variants of GBDP, including novel adaptations to amino acid sequences and approaches yielding trees with branch support. The dependency of phylogenetic accuracy, average branch support as well as performance indicators such as running time and disk space consumption on details of genome comparison, distance calculation, and phylogenetic inference was examined in detail. If combined with conservative measures for branch support, GBDP appears to infer reasonable phylogenetic relationships of microorganisms with a comparatively low computational cost. Due to the linear speed‐up of the cluster, benchmarks reveal an overall computation time of less than 24 h required for the 7750 pairwise genome/proteome comparisons of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea data set that is opposed to an estimated running time of about 30 days for the non‐parallelized version.

Anomalous mixed crystals: a peculiar case of adsorption/absorption
Authors: Aquilano Dino , Pastero Linda 
Published: August 2013

The paper deals with the peculiar case of adsorption/absorption in which the impurity is adsorbed and, successively, incorporated in a growing crystal, giving rise to a bi‐phased system: the host dominant crystal and the guest impurity crystallized as thin lamellae in selected growth sectors. The historical path is revisited, since the pioneering papers by Johnsen, Gaubert, Neuhaus and Seifert, through the works of Kern's and Hartman's Schools who verified the theoretical hypotheses on the growth mechanisms, initially put forward by Bunn, Royer and Kleber. An important attention is paid to the interesting case study represented by the system NaCl/CdCl2, both for the pure adsorption of CdCl2 on the NaCl crystal faces and for the formation of a three dimensional mixed salt of composition CdCl2·2 NaCl·3H2O. The core of the work is devoted to two highlighting examples of adsorption/absorption. In the first one, varying concentrations of lithium ions present as impurity in aqueous CaCO3 solutions, act as habit modifiers of the growing calcite crystals (adsorption) and, contemporarily, enter the calcite lattice in selected growth sectors, as Li2CO3 iso‐oriented lamellae (absorption). All this has been proved by X‐ray powder diffraction diagrams (XRPD), cathode‐luminescence and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. In the second example, the well known example of habit modification of NaCl crystals growing from aqueous solution in the presence of formamide is recovered and newly investigated in the light of up to date experimental and theoretical analyses. NaCl crystals were obtained from water‐formamide (H‐CO‐NH2) solutions, either by slow evaporation or by programmed cooling of saturated solutions, the formamide concentration ranging from 0 to 100%. Accordingly, the crystal morphology changes from {100} (pure aqueous solution) to {100} + {111} (water‐formamide solutions) to {111} (pure formamide solution). X‐ray powder diffraction diagrams prove that formamide is not only adsorbed on the {111}NaCl octahedron but is also selectively captured within the {111} growth sectors. The 2D‐lattice coincidences between the d101 layers of formamide and the NaCl – d111 ones suggest that formamide can be adsorbed as ordered epitaxial layers; further, the equivalence between the thickness of the elementary layers and indicates that formamide is allowed to be buried (absorption) in the growing crystal. Hence, one can ultimately state that formamide is not only an habit modifier of NaCl crystals, but that “anomalous NaCl/formamide mixed crystals” form, limited to the {111} NaCl growth sectors.
Design and analysis of distributed utility maximization algorithm for multihop wireless network with inaccurate feedback
Authors: Liao Shengbin , He Jianhua 
Published: August 2013

SUMMARYDistributed network utility maximization (NUM) is receiving increasing interests for cross‐layer optimization problems in multihop wireless networks. Traditional distributed NUM algorithms rely heavily on feedback information between different network elements, such as traffic sources and routers. Because of the distinct features of multihop wireless networks such as time‐varying channels and dynamic network topology, the feedback information is usually inaccurate, which represents as a major obstacle for distributed NUM application to wireless networks. The questions to be answered include if distributed NUM algorithm can converge with inaccurate feedback and how to design effective distributed NUM algorithm for wireless networks. In this paper, we first use the infinitesimal perturbation analysis technique to provide an unbiased gradient estimation on the aggregate rate of traffic sources at the routers based on locally available information. On the basis of that, we propose a stochastic approximation algorithm to solve the distributed NUM problem with inaccurate feedback. We then prove that the proposed algorithm can converge to the optimum solution of distributed NUM with perfect feedback under certain conditions. The proposed algorithm is applied to the joint rate and media access control problem for wireless networks. Numerical results demonstrate the convergence of the proposed algorithm.

ABSTRACTObjectiveCardiac damage is a major complication of anorexia nervosa (AN). The present study evaluated the prevalence of myocardial damage in patients with AN by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).MethodThis study was cross‐sectional and observational. Forty consecutive female patients with a diagnosis of AN and 28 healthy female subjects were evaluated from January 2007 to 2011 at the Department of Psychiatry (University of Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey). Following enrolment in the study, participants underwent a cardiac evaluation, a physical examination, a standard electrocardiogram (ECG), an echocardiography and a CMR.ResultsBody weight, body mass index and heart rate values were lower in patients with AN than in the control group. When compared with control groups, patients with AN showed reduced left ventricular mass with normal systolic function. Compared to control subjects, patients with AN had higher prevalence of pericardial effusion (30% in the AN group, 4% in the control group, p = .005) and mitral valve prolapses (23% in the AN group, 4% in the control group, p = .03). Myocardial fibrosis (detected as late gadolinium enhancement on CMR) was found in 23% of patients with AN. Myocardial fibrosis was not detected in any control subject (p = .007).ConclusionA strong association was found between myocardial fibrosis and AN. Cardiac damage of myocardial fibrosis in asymptomatic patients with AN can be found by CMR examination. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Int J Eat Disord 2013; 46:862–866)
THE RANDOM CARD SORT METHOD AND RESPONDENT CERTAINTY IN CONTINGENT VALUATION: AN EXPLORATORY INVESTIGATION OF RANGE BIAS
Authors: Shackley Phil , Dixon Simon 
Published: August 2013

ABSTRACTWillingness to pay (WTP) values derived from contingent valuation surveys are prone to a number of biases. Range bias occurs when the range of money values presented to respondents in a payment card affects their stated WTP values. This paper reports the results of an exploratory study whose aim was to investigate whether the effects of range bias can be reduced through the use of an alternative to the standard payment card method, namely, a random card sort method. The results suggest that the random card sort method is prone to range bias but that this bias may be mitigated by restricting the analysis to the WTP values of those respondents who indicate they are ‘definitely sure’ they would pay their stated WTP.

Published: August 2013

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to investigate the histological effect of alcohol ingestion on the regeneration of the submandibular gland (SMG) in rats. Twelve 60‐day‐old male Wistar rats were randomized into two experimental groups. Test group (TG) animals ingested 40° GL of alcohol for 45 days before surgery, being its concentration gradually increased 10° GL/week for 4 weeks to achieve the final concentration of 40° GL. The control group (CG) received water during the whole experimental period. One‐third of the left SMG lobe was removed. Three and seven days after, the whole gland was excised and analyzed. In the TG, the inflammatory process was pronounced when comparing the CG on day 3. The inverse aspect was observed on day 7, associated with an advanced parenchyma development. Changes in laminin expression and glycoproteins production were observed in the TG, causing advanced morphogenesis and delay in cytodifferentiation during the salivary gland regeneration, probably due to alcohol effects. Animals who received ethanol showed alterations in the pattern of glandular regeneration. Microsc. Res. Tech. 76:1125–1130, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Situationally Equivocal Eyewitness Evidence and the Violence of Crimes
Authors: Sharps Matthew Joseph , Herrera Megan R. , Price‐Sharps Jana Leigh 
Published: August 2013

AbstractEyewitness evidence is amongst the most important types of evidence in investigative and juridical proceedings. Yet, eyewitness evidence frequently derives from observations made under situationally equivocal conditions, including such factors as darkness and physical obstruction of view. The effect of the violence of a given crime on potential jurors' evaluation of such equivocal evidence was addressed. A witness's identification of a suspect in a violent crime was generated in three versions, varying only in the level of violence of the crime. Respondents were more likely to accept this identification as accurate under more violent conditions and were also less likely to report noticing or considering equivocal aspects (darkness and physical obstruction) in situations of greater violence. Predisposing factors to judgement of guilt lay significantly in the acceptance of punishment as a viable deterrent to crime and of societal guilt for the criminal's behaviour, although political or religious orientations were not shown to influence these results, and none of these factors interacted with the violence of the crime to influence judgement of guilt or innocence. These findings indicate the importance of affective factors in judgements of guilt or innocence, especially when these judgements are based on situationally equivocal eyewitness evidence.

Apodemes associated with limbs support serial homology of claws and jaws in onychophora (velvet worms)
Authors: de Sena Oliveira Ivo , Mayer Georg 
Published: August 2013

ABSTRACTAlthough the onychophoran jaw blades are believed to be derivatives of foot claws, serial homology of these structures has not been demonstrated. To shed light on the evolutionary origin of the onychophoran jaws, we searched for morphological landmarks and compared the internal and external anatomy of jaws and distal leg portions in representatives of the two major onychophoran subgroups, the Peripatidae and Peripatopsidae. Our data revealed hitherto unknown structures associated with the onychophoran limbs, such as a soft diastemal membrane separating the anterior and posterior portions of the inner jaw blade (present only in Peripatidae), apodemes associated with feet, an eversible dorsal sac at the basis of each foot claw, and a specific arrangement of musculature associated with the sclerotised claws, jaws and their apodemes. Specific correspondences in structure and position of apodemes support serial homology of claws and jaws, suggesting that the onychophoran jaw evolved from the distal portion rather than the entire limb in the last common ancestor of Onychophora.
