Social Technology: A Compendium of Short Cases
Authors: Considine Brett , Krahel John Peter , Lenk Margarita M. , Janvrin Diane J. 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACT
Seven short cases highlight the need for organizational control of the use of social technology. Executives now consider the management of social technology strategies and risks to be their fourth highest priority, investing significant resources to develop effective social technology use policies (Carrick et al. 2013; Deloitte 2012; Feltham and Nichol 2012). Moreover, organizations vary their social technology investment choices depending on their objectives and their target audiences (AICPA 2013; Gallaugher and Ransbotham 2010; Kaplan and Haenlein 2010). A wide variety of case learning objectives involve applying internal control models, and developing and justifying opinions about how social technology uses and abuses affect operational, financial reporting and regulatory compliance objectives, risks, controls, and performance-monitoring activities. Instructors may utilize one or more of these cases at a time, either individually or in student groups, and in undergraduate or graduate financial accounting, accounting information systems, governance, or auditing courses.
Using Process Mapping to Reveal Process Redesign Opportunities during ERP Planning
Authors: Bradford Marianne , Gerard Gregory J. 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACT
The objectives of the Elizor Case are to give students experience with business process analysis by requiring them to first document an “as is” raw materials purchasing process during the planning for an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementation and then to have students determine issues inherent in the process that will necessitate process redesign. Students will learn the difference between two types of process redesign—business process reengineering (BPR) and business process improvement (BPI)—synthesize this knowledge in order to identify process issues inherent in the case, and suggest process redesigns that an ERP system will need to provide so that the purchasing process is more efficient, effective, and controlled. The case has broad appeal for faculty teaching ERP systems and/or business process management.
La participation des francophones dans le Corps expéditionnaire canadien (1914–1919) : il faut réviser à la hausse
Authors: Martin Jean 
Published: August 2015

Résumé : L'enrôlement des francophones dans le Corps expéditionnaire canadien a toujours été estimé entre 20 000 et 35 000 par les historiens. Ces évaluations ne reposaient malheureusement sur aucune donnée réellement fiable. Cet article tente de montrer que ces chiffres sont largement sous-évalués et que la participation des francophones a en fait probablement été près de deux fois supérieure à la perception qui prévaut depuis un siècle. En l'absence de dénombrement précis des enrôlés francophones, il sera démontré que (1) il est impossible que le Québec ait fourni plus qu'une proportion relativement faible de soldats anglophones parmi sa contribution et (2) qu'un bien plus grand nombre de soldats francophones qu'on l'a généralement estimé provenaient en fait de l'extérieur du Québec. Par l'analyse des dossiers de la Commonwealth War Graves Commission, on verra également que plus de 3 000 soldats francophones ont perdu la vie en France et en Belgique pendant la guerre, ce qui laisse supposer qu'environ vingt fois plus ont pu porter l'uniforme.

AbstractThis study provides an estimate of fresh water derived from ice melt for the ablation areas of glaciers in the Central Karakoram National Park (CKNP), Pakistan. In the CKNP there are ~700 glaciers, covering ~4600 km2, with widespread debris cover (518 km2). To assess meltwater volume we applied a distributed model able to describe both debris-covered and debris-free ice ablation. The model was calibrated using data collected in the field in the CKNP area and validated by comparison with ablation data collected in the field, independent of the data used in building the model. During 23 July–9 August 2011, the mean model-estimated ablation in the CKNP was 0.024 m w.e. d–1 in debris-covered areas and 0.037 m w.e. d–1 in debris-free areas. We found a mean error of +0.01 m w.e. (corresponding to 2%) and a root-mean-square error equal to 0.09 m w.e. (17%). According to our model, the ablation areas of all the glaciers in the CKNP produced a water volume of 1.963 km3 during the study period. Finally, we performed several sensitivity tests for assessing the impact of the input data variations.

The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatment consisted of six foliar dozes viz. T1 (Tap water as control), T2 (0.10 % urea), T3 (0.25 % urea), T4 (0.40 % urea), T5 (5 ppm planofix) and T6 (10 ppm planofix) and three application frequencies viz. F1 [20 days after sowing (20 DAS)], F2 (30 DAS) and F3 (20 and 30 DAS). Maximum foliage yield (6.94 t/ha) was recorded in 10 ppm planofix coupled with its twice application at 20 and 30 DAS which was closely followed the foliage yield (6.33 t/ha) by 5 ppm planofix with the same application frequency. The foliage yield was increased with the increase in urea concentration. The highest foliage yield (5.37 t/ha) was also recorded from twice application of urea and planofix at 20 and 30 DAS, respectively. Planofix 10 ppm with its twice application at 20 and 30 DAS gave the highest benefit-cost of ration 2.51.Int. J. Agril. Res. Innov. & Tech. 5 (1): 40-44, June, 2015
Prospective Randomized Intraindividual Comparison of Posterior Capsule Opacification After Implantation of an IOL With and Without Heparin Surface Modification
Authors: Krall Eva M. , Arlt Eva M. , Jell Gerlinde , Strohmaier Clemens , Moussa Sarah , Dexl Alois K. 
Published: August 2015

PURPOSE:
To compare posterior capsule opacification (PCO) of a hydrophobic acrylic heparin surface modified intraocular lens (HSM-IOL) and an uncoated IOL (UC-IOL) 1 year after implantation.

METHODS:
One hundred two eyes of 51 patients underwent routine phacoemulsification with randomized implantation of a HSM-IOL in one eye (the HSM-IOL group) and a UC-IOL in the fellow eye (the UC-IOL group). Morphologic PCO evaluation was performed comparing digital photographs in retroillumination using the Evaluation of Posterior Capsule Opacification (EPCO) system, grading the density of the opacification from 0 to 4 (0 = none, 1 = minimal, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe). Distance visual acuities, subjective manifest refraction, pupil size, straylight measurements, flare in the anterior chamber using a laser flare meter, and contrast sensitivity were also evaluated.

RESULTS:
The mean total EPCO score was slightly higher in the HSM-IOL group (0.50 ± 0.45) compared to the UC-IOL group (0.45 ± 0.46), but did not reach statistical significance. No statistically significant differences were found in the other main outcome parameters (straylight measurement, distance visual acuities, flare in the anterior chamber, and mesopic and photopic contrast sensitivity) when comparing both IOLs.

CONCLUSION:
Although the HSM-IOL showed decreased flare 1 day postoperatively, no statistically significant differences regarding PCO were found 1 year postoperatively.

We Will Not Be Silent:
Authors: Mahalel Adi 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACT
On May Day 1953, a group of actors and a production crew staged the premiere of an Off-Broadway play called The World of Sholom Aleichem. What made this production unique was that all of the people involved in it were blacklisted. They were all victims of McCarthy's assault on the entertainment industry, part of his campaign to defeat “the red enemies from within.” But this group of people refused to be silent victims, and they—the vast majority of whom were Jewish—produced this play in defiance of the authorities, proving the vitality of their artistic talents. The play was based on the English dramatic adaptations by Arnold Perl of three classic Yiddish short stories: two by Sholem Aleichem (“The High School” and “The Enchanted Tailor”) separated by one famous short story by I. L. Peretz entitled “Bontshe Shvayg” (Bontshe the Silent). In this paper, I discuss the social, political, and historical significance of this play with a special emphasis on the story by Peretz, which I believe stands out between the three acts.
“What about a Teakettle?”:
Authors: Bryan Victoria Marie 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACT
The roles of mourning and melancholia in Jonathan Safran Foer's novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and the connections that exist between Oskar Schell's initial emotional inertia after the 9/11 attacks and his anxious personality, dominate the current critical conversation surrounding this character. This article, however, seeks to expand this critical conversation by paying due attention to the importance of Oskar's decision to dig up his father's coffin that signifies his movement into mourning. His closeness to the burial site, his one-on-one interaction with the coffin, and his personal realization that the coffin does not contain his father's body is what allows him to move into productive mourning. Through this interaction with burial and commemoration, Oskar realizes that though his father is gone he will never have not existed, and begins to move into productive mourning. Analyzing the importance of burial/commemorative practices in this novel allows a reading that focuses on the productive nature of Oskar's quest, his ultimately promising encounter with loss, and an understanding of America's adjusted approach to burial and commemoration after an instance of terror that resulted in mass death—a frequent contributor to shifts in burial and commemorative practices.
Platelets in cancer
Authors: Mammadova-Bach E. , Mangin P. , Lanza F. , Gachet F. 
Published: August 2015

SummaryPlatelets are well-known for their major role in primary hemostasis and thrombosis. Cancer patients frequently manifest thrombotic events and present abnormalities in blood coagulation which appear to be linked to altered platelet function and turnover. Moreover, numerous studies indicate an intimate cross-talk between platelets and tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastatic dissemination. Finally, several experimental data and clinical trials suggest possible benefits of anti-platelet drugs on some cancers. Here, we will review the current state of basic biological research regarding the role of platelets in cancer progression. We also critically review the possible clinical applicability of some anti-platelet therapies to limit tumor growth and prevent metastatic dissemination.
Denser and taller carbon nanotube arrays on Cu foils useable as thermal interface materials

Abstract
To achieve denser and taller carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays on Cu foils, catalyst and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) conditions were carefully engineered. CNTs were grown to ∼50 µm using Fe/TiN/Ta catalysts in which Ta and TiN acted as diffusion barriers for Cu and Ta, respectively. A tradeoff was found between the mass density and height of the CNT arrays, and CNT arrays with a mass density of 0.30 g cm−3 and height of 45 µm were achieved under optimized conditions. Thermal interface materials (TIMs) with CNT array/Cu foil/CNT array structures showed decreasing thermal resistance from 86 to 24 mm2 K W−1 with increasing CNT array mass densities from 0.07–0.08 to 0.19–0.26 g cm−3 for Cu and Al blocks with surfaces as rough as 20–30 µm. The best CNT/Cu/CNT TIMs showed thermal resistance values comparable to that of a typical indium sheet TIM.
Slip‐pulse rupture behavior on a 2 m granite fault
Authors: McLaskey Gregory C. , Kilgore Brian D. , Beeler Nicholas M. 
Published: August 2015

AbstractWe describe observations of dynamic rupture events that spontaneously arise on meter‐scale laboratory earthquake experiments. While low‐frequency slip of the granite sample occurs in a relatively uniform and crack‐like manner, instruments capable of detecting high‐frequency motions show that some parts of the fault slip abruptly (velocity > 100 mm s−1, acceleration > 20 km s−2) while the majority of the fault slips more slowly. Abruptly slipping regions propagate along the fault at nearly the shear wave speed. We propose that the dramatic reduction in frictional strength implied by this pulse‐like rupture behavior has a common mechanism to the weakening reported in high‐velocity friction experiments performed on rotary machines. The slip pulses can also be identified as migrating sources of high‐frequency seismic waves. As observations from large earthquakes show similar propagating high‐frequency sources, the pulses described here may have relevance to the mechanics of larger earthquakes.
Effect of the total solar eclipse of 20 March 2015 on the ELF propagation over high‐latitude paths
Authors: Tereshchenko E. D. , Sidorenko A. E. , Tereshchenko P. E. , Grigoriev V. F. 
Published: August 2015

AbstractPropagation of the artificial electromagnetic waves with frequency of 82 Hz in the Earth‐ionosphere waveguide was observed during the solar eclipse on both partially and totally obscured high‐latitude paths with a length of 450–1200 km. Field excitation was monitored by the reference measurements in the near zone of the transmitter, which are free of the ionospheric influence. It is found that the amplitude of the field at the remote points varied depending on the solar illumination and solar elevation angle. We suppose that this effect was probably caused by the increase in the effective height of the ionospheric D layer, just as it was previously observed in VLF. The obtained results demonstrate the response of the propagating extremely low frequency (ELF, 3–300 Hz) wave to the change in the ionospheric boundary. This effect has been for the first time observed in this frequency range during a total solar eclipse.
On the origin of magnetosheath plasmoids and their relation to magnetosheath jets
Authors: Karlsson T. , Kullen A. , Liljeblad E. , Brenning N. , Nilsson H. , Gunell H. , Hamrin M. 
Published: August 2015

AbstractWe investigate localized magnetosheath and solar wind density enhancements, associated with clear magnetic field changes, and therefore referred to as magnetosheath/solar wind plasmoids, respectively. Using Cluster data, we show that there are two distinct populations of magnetosheath plasmoids, one associated with a decrease of magnetic field strength (diamagnetic plasmoids), and one with an increased magnetic field strength (paramagnetic plasmoids). The diamagnetic magnetosheath plasmoids have scale sizes of the order of 1–10 RE, while the paramagnetic ones are an order of magnitude smaller. The diamagnetic plasmoids are not associated with any change in the magnetosheath plasma flow velocity, and they are classified as embedded plasmoids in the terminology of Karlsson et al. (2012). The paramagnetic plasmoids may either be embedded or associated with increases in flow velocity (fast plasmoids). A search for plasmoids in the pristine solar wind resulted in identification of 62 diamagnetic plasmoids with very similar properties to the magnetosheath diamagnetic plasmoids, making it probable that the solar wind is the source of these structures. No paramagnetic plasmoids are found in the pristine solar wind, indicating that these are instead created at the bow shock or in the magnetosheath. We discuss the relation of the plasmoids to the phenomenon of magnetosheath jets, with which they have many properties in common, and suggest that the paramagnetic plasmoids can be regarded as a subset of these or a closely related phenomenon. We also discuss how the results from this study relate to theories addressing the formation of magnetosheath jets.
Thermal effects of variable material properties and metamorphic reactions in a three‐component subducting slab
Authors: Chemia Zurab , Dolejš David , Steinle‐Neumann Gerd 
Published: August 2015

AbstractWe explore the effects of variable material properties, phase transformations, and metamorphic devolatilization reactions on the thermal structure of a subducting slab using thermodynamic phase equilibrium calculations combined with a thermal evolution model. The subducting slab is divided into three layers consisting of oceanic sediments, altered oceanic crust, and partially serpentinized or anhydrous harzburgite. Solid‐fluid equilibria and material properties are computed for each layer individually to illustrate distinct thermal consequences when chemical and mechanical homogenization within the slab is limited. Two extreme scenarios are considered for a newly forming fluid phase: complete retention in the rock pore space or instantaneous fluid escape due to porosity collapse. Internal heat generation or consumption due to variable heat capacity, compressional work, and energetics of progressive metamorphic and devolatilization reactions contribute to the thermal evolution of the slab in addition to the dominating heat flux from the surrounding mantle. They can be considered as a perturbation on the temperature profile obtained in dynamic or kinematic subduction models. Our calculations indicate that subducting sediments and oceanic crust warm by 40 and 70°C, respectively, before the effect of wedge convection and heating is encountered at 1.7 GPa. Retention of fluid in the slab pore space plays a negligible role in oceanic crust and serpentinized peridotites. By contrast, the large volatile budget of oceanic sediments causes early fluid saturation and fluid‐retaining sediments cool by up to 150°C compared to their fluid‐free counterparts.
Magnitude and symmetry of seismic anisotropy in mica‐ and amphibole‐bearing metamorphic rocks and implications for tectonic interpretation of seismic data from the southeast Tibetan Plateau

AbstractWe calibrated the magnitude and symmetry of seismic anisotropy for 132 mica‐ or amphibole‐bearing metamorphic rocks to constrain their departures from transverse isotropy (TI) which is usually assumed in the interpretation of seismic data. The average bulk Vp anisotropy at 600 MPa for the chlorite schists, mica schists, phyllites, sillimanite‐mica schists, and amphibole schists examined is 12.0%, 12.8%, 12.8%, 17.0%, and 12.9%, respectively. Most of the schists show Vp anisotropy in the foliation plane which averages 2.4% for phyllites, 3.3% for mica schists, 4.1% for chlorite schists, 6.8% for sillimanite‐mica schists, and 5.2% for amphibole schists. This departure from TI is due to the presence of amphibole, sillimanite, and quartz. Amphibole and sillimanite develop strong crystallographic preferred orientations with the fast c axes parallel to the lineation, forming orthorhombic anisotropy with Vp(X) > Vp(Y) > Vp(Z). Effects of quartz are complicated, depending on its volume fraction and prevailing slip system. Most of the mica‐ or amphibole‐bearing schists and mylonites are approximately transversely isotropic in terms of S wave velocities and splitting although their P wave properties may display orthorhombic symmetry. The results provide insight for the interpretation of seismic data from the southeast Tibetan Plateau. The N‐S to NW‐SE polarized crustal anisotropy in the Sibumasu and Indochina blocks is caused by subvertically foliated mica‐ and amphibole‐bearing rocks deformed by predominantly compressional folding and subordinate strike‐slip shear. These blocks have been rotated clockwise 70–90° around the east Himalayan Syntaxis, without finite eastward or southeastward extrusion, in responding to progressive indentation of India into Asia.
Source mechanism of small long‐period events at Mount St. Helens in July 2005 using template matching, phase‐weighted stacking, and full‐waveform inversion

Published: August 2015

AbstractLong‐period (LP, 0.5‐5 Hz) seismicity, observed at volcanoes worldwide, is a recognized signature of unrest and eruption. Cyclic LP “drumbeating” was the characteristic seismicity accompanying the sustained dome‐building phase of the 2004–2008 eruption of Mount St. Helens (MSH), WA. However, together with the LP drumbeating was a near‐continuous, randomly occurring series of tiny LP seismic events (LP “subevents”), which may hold important additional information on the mechanism of seismogenesis at restless volcanoes. We employ template matching, phase‐weighted stacking, and full‐waveform inversion to image the source mechanism of one multiplet of these LP subevents at MSH in July 2005. The signal‐to‐noise ratios of the individual events are too low to produce reliable waveform inversion results, but the events are repetitive and can be stacked. We apply network‐based template matching to 8 days of continuous velocity waveform data from 29 June to 7 July 2005 using a master event to detect 822 network triggers. We stack waveforms for 359 high‐quality triggers at each station and component, using a combination of linear and phase‐weighted stacking to produce clean stacks for use in waveform inversion. The derived source mechanism points to the volumetric oscillation (∼10 m3) of a subhorizontal crack located at shallow depth (∼30 m) in an area to the south of Crater Glacier in the southern portion of the breached MSH crater. A possible excitation mechanism is the sudden condensation of metastable steam from a shallow pressurized hydrothermal system as it encounters cool meteoric water in the outer parts of the edifice, perhaps supplied from snow melt.
