Authors: Pažitná Alexandra , Džúrová Jana , Špánik Ivan 
Published: August 2014

ABSTRACTIn this article, volatile organic compounds in 14 honey samples (rosemary, eucalyptus, orange, thyme, sage, and lavender) were identified. Volatile organic compounds were extracted using a solid phase microextraction method followed by gas chromatography connected with mass spectrometry analysis. The studied honey samples were compared based on their volatile organic compounds composition. In total, more than 180 compounds were detected in the studied samples. The detected compounds belong to various chemical classes such as terpenes, alcohols, acids, aldehydes, ketones, esters, norisoprenoids, benzene and furane derivatives, and organic compounds containing sulfur and nitrogen heteroatom. Ten chiral compounds (linalool, trans‐linalool oxide, cis‐linalool oxide, 4‐terpineol, α‐terpineol, hotrienol, and four stereoisomers of lilac aldehydes) were selected for further chiral separation.

Arginine promotes Proteus mirabilis motility and fitness by contributing to conservation of the proton gradient and proton motive force
Authors: Armbruster Chelsie E. , Hodges Steven A. , Smith Sara N. , Alteri Christopher J. , Mobley Harry L. T. 
Published: August 2014

AbstractSwarming contributes to Proteus mirabilis pathogenicity by facilitating access to the catheterized urinary tract. We previously demonstrated that 0.1–20 mmol/L arginine promotes swarming on normally nonpermissive media and that putrescine biosynthesis is required for arginine‐induced swarming. We also previously determined that arginine‐induced swarming is pH dependent, indicating that the external proton concentration is critical for arginine‐dependent effects on swarming. In this study, we utilized survival at pH 5 and motility as surrogates for measuring changes in the proton gradient (ΔpH) and proton motive force (μH+) in response to arginine. We determined that arginine primarily contributes to ΔpH (and therefore μH+) through the action of arginine decarboxylase (speA), independent of the role of this enzyme in putrescine biosynthesis. In addition to being required for motility, speA also contributed to fitness during infection. In conclusion, consumption of intracellular protons via arginine decarboxylase is one mechanism used by P. mirabilis to conserve ΔpH and μH+ for motility.
Measurements of turbulent diffusion in uniformly sheared flow
Authors: Vanderwel Christina , Tavoularis Stavros 
Published: August 2014

AbstractThe diffusion of a plume of dye in uniformly sheared turbulent flow in a water tunnel was investigated using simultaneous stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (SPIV) and planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF). Maps of the mean concentration and the turbulent concentration fluxes in planes normal to the plume axis were constructed, from which all components of the second-order turbulent diffusivity tensor were determined for the first time. Good agreement between the corresponding apparent and true diffusivities was observed. The turbulent diffusivity tensor was found to have strong off-diagonal components, whereas the streamwise component appeared to be counter-gradient. The different terms in the advection–diffusion equation were estimated from the measurements and their relative significance was discussed. All observed phenomena were explained by physical arguments and the results were compared to previous ones.
Low-frequency vibrations of two-dimensional droplets on heterogeneous substrates
Authors: Savva Nikos , Kalliadasis Serafim 
Published: August 2014

AbstractWe present a theoretical investigation of the effects of low-frequency vibrations on the motion of two-dimensional droplets on heterogeneous substrates in the presence of gravity and substrate heterogeneities, both chemical and topographical. A combined analytical and numerical approach is undertaken, extending the work of Savva & Kalliadasis (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 725, 2013, pp. 462–491) on inclined heterogeneous substrates to include the effects of substrate vibrations. Via a matching procedure and under the quasi-static assumption, we obtain evolution equations for the moving fronts. These equations are then invoked in a wide variety of case studies. It is demonstrated that vertically vibrated horizontal ratcheted substrates can induce unidirectional motion. For inclined substrates, we focus on a number of qualitative aspects of the peculiar vibration-induced climbing of droplets reported in experiments by Brunet, Eggers & Deegan (Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 99, 2007, art. 144501). We examine the effects of weak inertia on the dynamics, deduce analytical criteria for the uphill motion in the limit of weak gravitational and vibrational effects, and demonstrate that substrate heterogeneities may be utilised to enhance droplet transport.
Investigating the role of middle managers in strategy-making process: An Australian mixed method study
Authors: O'Shannassy Tim 
Published: August 2014

AbstractSeveral influential writers including Henry Mintzberg and Gary Hamel have highlighted the need for organizations to value the contribution to strategy work of middle managers in an uncertain world. In this study quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews are used to mix methods and investigate the role of middle managers in strategy-making process in Australia. The results indicate that middle managers are the ‘doers’ of strategy, with important ‘analyst’, ‘coordinator’, ‘information source’ and ‘communicator’ roles. Middle managers reported some frustration in interviews that at times they feel their input to strategic conversations is not translated effectively into organization strategy.

Using information on ecosystem services in Nepal to inform biodiversity conservation and local to national decision-making

Published: August 2014

AbstractPolicy-makers are paying increasing attention to ecosystem services, given improved understanding that they underpin human well-being, and following their integration within the Aichi Targets of the Convention on Biological Diversity. Decision-makers need information on trends in biodiversity and ecosystem services but tools for assessing the latter are often expensive, technically demanding and ignore the local context. In this study we used a simple, replicable participatory assessment approach to gather information on ecosystem services at important sites for biodiversity conservation in Nepal, to feed into local and national decision-making. Through engaging knowledgeable stakeholders we assessed the services delivered by Nepal's 27 Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas, the pressures affecting services through impacts on land cover and land use, and the consequences of these for people. We found that these sites provide ecosystem services to beneficiaries at a range of scales but under current pressures the balance of services will change, with local communities incurring the greatest costs. The approach provided valuable information on the trade-offs between ecosystem services and between different people, developed the capacity of civil society to engage in decision-making at the local and national level, and provided digestible information for Nepal's government. We recommend this approach in other countries where there is a lack of information on the likely impacts of land-use change on ecosystem services and people.
THE BUTTERFLY BIRD GOD AND HIS MYTH AT TEOTIHUACAN
Authors: Paulinyi Zoltán 
Published: August 2014

AbstractWe know little about the gods of the Teotihuacan pantheon and practically nothing of their mythology. Starting from the analysis of a group of murals in Atetelco (Teotihuacan), a partial reconstruction is proposed for a Teotihuacan myth, the principal figure of which has the character of a sun god linked to vegetation. In this proposal, this god descends to the Underworld and is reborn, thus rising out of the depths of the earth. The myth appears to include, moreover, a ballgame in the Underworld and probably a supernatural macaw, linked in some way to the god in question. In my opinion, this is probably a creation myth, with a basic structure bearing a resemblance to that of thePopol Vuh.
Information for Disasters, Information Disasters, and Disastrous Information

Published: August 2014

AbstractInformation is needed to support humanitarian responses in every phase of a disaster. Participants of a multilateral working group convened to examine how best to meet these information needs. Although information systems based on routine reporting of diseases are desirable because they have the potential to identify trends, these systems usually do not deliver on their promise due to inadequate organization and management to support them.To identify organizational and management characteristics likely to be associated with successful information systems in disaster settings, evaluations of the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) programs in 12 participating countries were reviewed. Characteristics that were mentioned repeatedly in the evaluations as associated with success were grouped into nine categories: (1) human resources management and supervision; (2) political support; (3) strengthened laboratory capacity; (4) communication and feedback (through many mechanisms); (5) infrastructure and resources; (6) system design and capacity; (7) coordination and partnerships with stakeholders; (8) community input; and (9) evaluation. Selected characteristics and issues within each category are discussed.Based on the review of the IDSR evaluations and selected articles in the published literature, recommendations are provided for improving the shortand long-term organization and management of information systems in humanitarian responses associated with disasters. It is suggested that information systems that follow these recommendations are more likely to yield quality information and be sustainable even in disaster settings.
Can we predict the magnetic properties of PMS stars from their H-R diagram location?

Published: August 2014

AbstractSpectropolarimetric observations combined with tomographic imaging techniques have revealed that all pre-main sequence (PMS) stars host multipolar magnetic fields, ranging from strong and globally axisymmetric with ≳kilo-Gauss dipole components, to complex and non-axisymmetric with weak dipole components (≲0.1 kG). Many host dominantly octupolar large-scale fields. We argue that the large-scale magnetic properties of a PMS star are related to its location in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. This conference paper is a synopsis of Gregory et al. (2012), updated to include the latest results from magnetic mapping studies of PMS stars.
Building a numerical relativistic non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics code for astrophysical applications
Authors: Aranguren S. Miranda , Aloy M. A. , Aloy Carmen. 
Published: August 2014

AbstractIncluding resistive effects in relativistic magnetized plasmas is a challenging task, that a number of authors have recently tackled employing different methods. From the numerical point of view, the difficulty in including non-ideal terms arises from the fact that, in the limit of very high plasma conductivity (i.e., close to the ideal MHD limit), the system of governing equations becomes stiff, and the standard explicit integrating methods produce instabilities that destroy the numerical solution. To deal with such a difficulty, we have extended the relativistic MHD code MR-GENESIS, to include a number of Implicit Explicit Runge-Kutta (IMEX-RK) numerical methods. To validate the implementation of the IMEX-RK schemes, two standard tests are presented in one and two spatial dimensions, covering different conductivity regimes.
3D YSO accretion shock simulations: a study of the magnetic, chromospheric and stochastic flow effects

Published: August 2014

AbstractThe structure and dynamics of young stellar object (YSO) accretion shocks depend strongly on the local magnetic field strength and configuration, as well as on the radiative transfer effects responsible for the energy losses. We present the first 3D YSO shock simulations of the interior of the stream, assuming a uniform background magnetic field, a clumpy infalling gas, and an acoustic energy flux flowing at the base of the chromosphere. We study the dynamical evolution and the post-shock structure as a function of the plasma-beta (thermal pressure over magnetic pressure). We find that a strong magnetic field (~hundreds of Gauss) leads to the formation of fibrils in the shocked gas due to the plasma confinement within flux tubes. The corresponding emission is smooth and fully distinguishable from the case of a weak magnetic field (~tenths of Gauss) where the hot slab demonstrates chaotic motion and oscillates periodically.
Starspots on Young Solar-Type Stars
Authors: Brown Carolyn , Carter Brad , Marsden Stephen , Waite Ian 
Published: August 2014

AbstractDoppler Imaging of starspots on young solar analogues is a way to investigate the early history of solar magnetic activity by proxy. Doppler images of young G-dwarfs have yielded the presence of large polar spots, extending to moderate latitudes, along with measurements of the surface differential rotation. The differential rotation measurement for one star (RX J0850.1-7554) suggests it is possibly the first example of a young G-type dwarf whose surface rotates as almost a solid body, in marked contrast to the differential rotation of other rapidly rotating young G-dwarfs and the present-day Sun. Overall, our Doppler imaging results show that the young Sun possessed a fundamentally different dynamo to today.
