Finite Product of Semiring of Sets
Authors: Coghetto Roland 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
We formalize that the image of a semiring of sets [17] by an injective function is a semiring of sets.We offer a non-trivial example of a semiring of sets in a topological space [21]. Finally, we show that the finite product of a semiring of sets is also a semiring of sets [21] and that the finite product of a classical semiring of sets [8] is a classical semiring of sets. In this case, we use here the notation from the book of Aliprantis and Border [1].

Published: August 2015

Abstract
The effect of industrial pollution from chromium ferroalloys production on soil free-living nematode assemblages, c-p groups and generic composition was investigated along 7-km transect. From trace elements (Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb), only chromium exceeded the thresholds for uncontaminated soils (10 mg.kg-1) near the pollution source. In contrast mobilizable fraction of Cr has increased with the distance from the pollution source and was found to be positively correlated with Cox, soil pH, and moisture. Generic richness (nematode diversity) was also higher at remote sites. The low contamination has no significant impact on the nematode communities as illustrated by the c-p groups composition and balanced community structure. Widely applied ecological indices SI and EI also proved maturing ecosystem without any significant stress responses
Aufruhr! Zur epochenübergreifenden Beschreibung beschleunigten sozialen Wandels in Krisenzeiten
Authors: Kohl Thomas 
Published: August 2015

Zusammenfassung
Wie lässt sich das Verhältnis von kurzfristiger sozialer Unruhe zu langfristigen Veränderungen für die historisch arbeitenden Wissenschaften bestimmen? Der Beitrag löst mit Hilfe des Begriffs „Aufruhr“ die Analyserichtung historischen sozialen Wandels von zielgerichteten Schemata, wie z. B. Revolution, und betont demgegenüber die Eigenlogik von Verlaufsformen. Im Deutschen und in anderen Sprachen enthält das Wort „Aufruhr“ sowohl ein Wert- als auch ein Zeiturteil; es impliziert, dass eine Handlungsweise illegitim oder illegal ist. So verstanden, dient „Aufruhr“ in den Geschichts- und Sozialwissenschaften außerdem primär zur Kennzeichnung vormoderner Phänomene. Diese Konvention (re)produziert die Überzeugung von einer Alterität der Vormoderne und verstärkt zugleich die Orientierung an hergebrachten Epochengrenzen. Demgegenüber wird mit der Entwicklung des Begriffs „Aufruhr“ der Versuch unternommen, Phänomene zunächst unabhängig von epochenspezifischen Großdeutungen zu interpretieren. Dazu stellt der Artikel drei historische Beispiele von Aufruhr aus verschiedenen Epochen vor: Auf zwei Unruhen in städtischen Kontexten des hohen und späten Mittelalters folgt ein Fall aus dem industriellen Ruhrgebiet der 1920er Jahre. Auf dieser Basis erarbeitet er als heuristisches Instrumentarium fünf analytisch getrennte Merkmale von Aufruhr: Gruppencharakter und Gesellschaftsbezug, Öffentlichkeit, Gewalt, Verdichtung von Raum und Zeit sowie Komplexität und Kontingenz. Diese Eigenschaften bleiben zwar an zeitliche und räumliche Spezifika gebunden, sie gestatten aber einen vergleichenden Blick auf Aufruhr als ubiquitäres Phänomen von Gesellschaften über Zeiten und Räume hinweg. Aufruhr macht so im doppelten Sinne Geschichte, als Ereignis und als Generator für Fragen an die Vergangenheit.
Wahrheit im Dschungel von Literatur, Wissenschaft und Politik. Upton Sinclairs „The Jungle“ und die Reform der Lebensmittelkontrolle in den USA der „Progressive Era“
Authors: Graf Rüdiger 
Published: August 2015

Zusammenfassung
Upton Sinclairs Roman „The Jungle“ (1906) über das Schicksal der Arbeiter und die hygienischen Zustände in den Schlachthöfen von Chicago wird oft für die Verschärfung der Lebensmittelkontrolle in den USA in der Progressive Era verantwortlich gemacht. Der Aufsatz fragt genauer danach, welche Rolle das Wissen über die Schlachthöfe für den Meat Inspection Act, aber auch den oft in einem Atemzug genannten Pure Food and Drugs Act spielte bzw. überhaupt spielen konnte. Im sich entfaltenden Skandal und in den Beratungen des Kongresses beanspruchten neben Sinclair auch andere Akteure mit unterschiedlicher Autorität und verschiedenen diskursiven Ressourcen, die Zustände in den Schlachthöfen zu kennen. Die Wahrheit über die sogenannten „packing houses“ wurde literarisch oder journalistisch enthüllt, mit wissenschaftlicher Autorität festgestellt, mit juristischen Argumenten begründet oder in Zweifel gezogen. Behauptungen stützten sich auf die eigene Anschauung, wissenschaftliche Experten oder auf das Urteil vertrauenswürdiger Personen. Ganz explizit wurden in diesen Debatten Wahrheitsansprüche bzw. die Bedeutung von Wissen für die Politikgestaltung verhandelt. Wie wurde jeweils versucht, die Wahrheitsansprüche einzulösen? Wem gelang es, sie von einem Diskurszusammenhang in den anderen zu übersetzen? Und welche Bedeutung hatten das Wissen über die Schlachthöfe für die Ausgestaltung der Lebensmittelkontrolle und die Wiederherstellung des Vertrauens in die Qualität der Nahrungsmittelversorgung und vor allem Fleischproduktion? Nach einem Überblick über die Veränderung des Wissens um die Qualität von Nahrungs- und Arzneimitteln sowie vor allem Fleischprodukten im Verlauf des 19. Jahrhunderts sollen diese Fragen durch eine Untersuchung der Debatten um „The Jungle“ und die Gesetzgebungsprozesse des Jahres 1906 geklärt werden. Diese Analyse der Wahrheitskommunikation und Wissensproduktion eröffnet so Einblicke in das Verhältnis von Wissen und Politik bzw. von visueller Evidenz, Expertenwissen und Vertrauen in der Nahrungsmittelproduktion um 1900 und darüber hinaus.
Characteristics of Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera Carnica, Pollman 1879) Queens Reared in Slovenian Commercial Breeding Stations
Authors: Gregorc Aleš , Smodiš Škerl Maja I. 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
In this three-year-trial study, we examined the quality of mated queens based on morphological and physiology traits. At each location, sister queen bees were reared each year from one Apis mellifera carnica breeder queen. Queens were also reared and mated in different locations. Altogether, we sampled and analysed 324 queens from 27 apiaries in 2006, 288 queens from 24 apiaries in 2008, and 276 queens from 23 apiaries in 2010. Nine queens from each apiary were sampled and dissected for morphological analyses and Nosema ceranae (N. ceranae) spores, if present, were quantified. Three queens from each apiary were prepared and tested for four viruses: acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), black queen cell virus (BQCV), deformed wing virus (DWV), and sacbrood virus (SBV). The highest average queen weight of 209.49 ± 9.82 mg was detected in 2008. The highest average ovary weight of 78.67 ± 11.86 mg was detected in 2010, and the highest number of ovarioles was 161.59 ± 8.70 in 2006. The average number of spermatozoa in queens ranged from 3.30 x 106 in 2006 to 5.23 x 106 in 2010. Nosema ceranae spores were found in queens sampled in 2008 and 2010. Viruses were discovered sporadically during the queen testing periods from 2006 - 2010. This study importantly demonstrates that queens from rearing stations require regular evaluation for morphological and physiological changes as well as for infection from harmful pathogens. These results could also be used in establishing relevant commercial standards for rearing quality queens.
Parties, persons, and one-at-a-time: conversation analysis and ELF
Authors: Santner-Wolfartsberger Anita 
Published: August 2015

AbstractDrawing on an analysis of ELF data, this article deals with the characteristics and complexities of turn-taking in interactions involving three or more participants. Sacks et al.’s (1974) often quoted framework for turn-taking in conversations, which can still be regarded canonical reading in the conversation analytic literature, serves as a starting point for this investigation. The aim of this paper is to scrutinize the applicability of the turn-taking model for group interactions. A key concept in this regard is the notion of aparty: the conversation analytic model for turn-taking posits that turn-taking does not take place between individual speakers, but between parties (hence the termmulti-party conversation) which can potentially consist of several speakers (cf. Schegloff 1995: 32–33). In group interactions it is thus possible that overlap occurs among co-incumbents of the same party. This kind of simultaneous speech, however, has not yet been subject of systematic empirical analysis. The present paper offers a preliminary account of this aspect of turn-taking in multi-participant interaction by discussing data extracts from an ELF workplace meeting of seven speakers and suggests possible avenues for further research on the phenomenon.
First record in Poland of the Ligurian leafhopper, Eupteryx decemnotata Rey 1891 (Cicadomorpha, Cicadellidae) – an important pest of herbs
Authors: Lubiarz Magdalena , Musik Krzysztof 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
The Ligurian leafhopper (Eupteryx decemnotata Rey 1891) has been recorded for the first time in Poland, in a commercial greenhouse in Warsaw. Individuals were collected from rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.). Intense feeding of this species caused serious damage in the cultivation of rosemary. For this reason, the range extension of this species must be monitored.

Apparent filler–gap mismatches in Welsh
Authors: Borsley Robert D. 
Published: August 2015

AbstractFiller–gap dependencies involving a clause-initial filler constituent of some kind followed by a matching gap are an important feature of human languages. There are also certain cases where what looks like a filler differs in some way from the following gap. In the case of Welsh there is a mismatch between apparent filler and gap in some nominal cleft sentences. It can be argued, however, that the initial constituent is not a filler but one term of a hidden identity predication. There are various other complexities in this area. There is one word, the identity copula, which only allows a complement that is a gap. There are two cases where a deletion process conceals the identity of the initial constituent in a cleft sentence, making a Progressive Phrase look like a Verb Phrase and a Predicative Phrase look like an Adjective Phrase or a Noun Phrase. Finally, there are three cases where a verb with a gap as a dependent has a special form, two cases involving the predicational copula and one involving all transitive verbs. Thus, a number of mechanisms are required to deal with the full set of facts.
Fabrication of cellulose fine fiber based membranes embedded with silver nanoparticles via Forcespinning
Authors: Xu Fenghua , Weng Baicheng , Materon Luis A. , Kuang Anxiu , Trujillo Jorge A. , Lozano Karen 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
This study presents the successful development of cellulose fiber based membranes embedded with silver nanoparticles. These fine fiber membranes were developed utilizing the Forcespinning (FS) technique followed by alkaline hydrolysis treatment. The fiber morphology, homogeneity and yield were optimized by varying spinning parameters such as polymer concentration and angular velocity of the spinnerets. The structure, thermal and mechanical properties, and water absorption capability of the developed membranes were investigated. The cellulose acetate (CA) present in the membrane was converted to cellulose in the presence of embedded silver nanoparticles by alkaline hydrolysis. The silver nanoparticles embedded cellulose membrane exhibits outstanding water absorption capacity with fast uptake rate. Its high porosity, three-dimensional network structure with well-interconnected pores, as well as the intrinsically highly hydrophilic nature of cellulose material greatly favor its potential application as wound dressings. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by the disk diffusion method. The composite membranes exhibit excellent antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, owing to the slow and sustained release of embedded silver nanoparticles.
The restricted isometry property for random matrices with ϕ-subgaussian entries
Authors: Kozachenko Yuriy , Troshki Viktor 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
The aim of this article is to construct the generalized random matrices, which satisfies the restricted isometry property (as introduced by Candes and Tao). Let the data be presented as a product of a vector with not more than K nonzero coordinates by a given matrix. We show that for such data we can change the upper bound of the variable K. In particular, we prove that the random matrices whose entries are independent realizations of random variables from ϕ-subgaussian space could be used in the theory of compressive sensing for encoding vectors.

Streszczenie
Badano wpływ zanieczyszczenia gleby niklem (0, 75, 150 i 225 mg Ni kg-1 gleby) na tle zróżnicowanego wapnowania (0 Ca i Ca w g 1 Hh) i materiałów organicznych (bez stosowania materiałów organicznych, słoma żytnia i węgiel brunatny z Kopalni Węgla Brunatnego Turów) na zawartość niklu w kupkówce pospolitej i frakcje tego metalu w glebie. Analizowano cztery pokosy kupkówki pospolitej zebrane w trzecim roku doświadczenia wazonowego oraz oznaczono frakcje niklu w glebie pobranej po ostatnim pokosie rośliny testowej. Zawartość niklu w roślinie oraz ogólną zawartość tego pierwiastka w glebie oznaczono metodą ICP-AES po wcześniejszej mineralizacji. Frakcje niklu w glebie oznaczono metodą frakcjonowania sekwencyjnego - BCR. Wprowadzenie do gleby niklu, niezależnie od ilości, spowodowało istotne zwiększenie jego zawartości w biomasie kupkówki pospolitej oraz w glebie we wszystkich frakcjach, przede wszystkim we frakcji wymiennej (F1). Wapnowanie gleby oraz aplikacja materiałów organicznych zmniejszyły zawartość niklu w biomasie kupkówki pospolitej oraz w glebie we frakcji wymiennej, bezpośrednio przyswajalnej przez rośliny, powodując jednocześnie zwiększenie jego udziału we frakcji rezydualnej (wapnowanie) oraz redukowalnej i utlenialnej (aplikacja materiałów organicznych).
Schließen auf Verbklassen
Authors: Richter Michael 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Based on the fact that verb learning is a difficult issue in language acquisition, the paper non-empirically addresses the question which inference rules which type of language learner might use in order to infer verb classes from the nominal fillers in the argument positions of verbs. Probabilistic rules based on Bayesian networks allow to decide whether a verb belongs to a class or not. The complexity of the rules might give an explanation why learning the semantics of verbs is difficult and is mastered completely at late stages of the language acquisition process.
Variablenbindung und semantische Genuskongruenz bei Personalpronomen im Deutschen
Authors: Czech Henning 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
The gender specification of personal pronouns in German which refer to lexical hybrids like Mädchen (neuter noun; eng.: girl) can either be determined directly by the grammatical features of these nouns (das Mädchen […] es) or by the sex of their referents (das Mädchen […] sie). This phenomenon is a typical example of the alternation of grammatical and semantic agreement, which can be observed in many variations among the world’s languages. In order to explain the distribution of these two agreement types, many authors argue that there is a positive correlation of the linear and/or structural distance between the agreeing elements (controller and target) on the one hand and the acceptability of semantic agreement on the other hand. Based on empirical data, I argue for the additional integration of semantic factors which are strongly related to structural aspects. It is shown that the choice of agreement type for German personal pronouns depends on the interpretation of these words as bound or free variables, whereby semantic agreement is less likely with bound variables.

Abstract
A quantum-chemistry and kinetics study of key chemical reactions
involved in the ClCO radical cycle of the Venus atmosphere:
Cl + CO + M → ClCO + M (1);
ClCO + O2 + M → ClC(O)OO + M (2)
and ClC(O)OO + Cl → CO2 + ClO + Cl (3) (M = CO2), has been performed at
150–300 K. Unimolecular reaction rate theories on
potential energy features derived at the G4//B3LYP/6-311+G(3df)
ab initio composite level were employed. Limiting low pressure rate
coefficients calculated for Reaction (1) are in good agreement with
recommended experimental values. The present results validate rate
coefficient values measured for Reaction (2) over relevant
strato-mesosphere Venusian conditions. Rate coefficients calculated by
the SACM/CT for Reaction (3) are given by k

–1 s
–1. In the
absence of experimental data, these values provide the first reliable

Pathological Intoxication and Alcohol Idiosyncratic Intoxication—Part I: Diagnostic and Clinical Aspects
Authors: Perr IN 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
The concept of pathological intoxication and its successor term, alcohol idiosyncratic reaction, has been one of ambiguity and professional disagreement. The history of such an entity reveals contradictions and varying usage—particularly in regard to the amount of alcohol required. Some feel that the current classification system is broad enough to include such reactions without the use of such terms. Laboratory and electroencephalographic findings are not diagnostic. The author suggests that if the concept is to be retained, psychiatrists utilize where possible the term “alcohol idiosyncratic reaction” in accord with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) III guidelines, particularly in view of the medicolegal implications discussed in Part II, which follows as a separate paper.
Morphological Analysis of Opal Phytoliths for Soil Discrimination in Forensic Science Investigation
Authors: Marumo Y , Yanai H 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
A morphological analysis of opal phytoliths in soils was applied to forensic science soil discrimination. To examine a variation of opal phytolith composition with a difference of land use or topography, a region was chosen in a range of 5 km covering from diluvial plateau to alluvial plain. Opal phytolith compositions in soil samples collected from the same site were similar. On the other hand, there were obvious differences in the compositions between soils from different sites. In the region examined, contents of Chloridoid, Bambusoid, Fan-shape, and Elongate classes varied with sampling sites allowing us to discriminate the samples from different sites. Festucoid and Point-shape class were small in the amounts to be compared for the soil discrimination. Morphological analysis of opal phytoliths was effective to discriminate soil samples that came from different land use, even though they were indistinguishable by their mineralogical characteristics. About 2 mg of opal phytolith fraction, 10 to 200 µm in diameter, less than 2.3 in specific gravity, was a sufficient amount for the morphological analysis.
Adjunctive Use of Scanning Electron Microscopy in Bite Mark Analysis: A Three-Dimensional Study
Authors: David TJ 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
An examination of a case in which adjunctive use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated the presence of unusual three-dimensional characteristics in a bite mark. Despite the fact that many bite marks do not show “depth,” demonstration of the presence of this third dimension can produce significant data for evidentiary purposes. In some instances, these data may transform what seem to be class characteristics of a bite mark into individual characteristics and thus impart much more uniqueness to the evidence. Because of the high level of resolution and magnification of SEM, some three-dimensional characteristics not visible to the eye can be shown quite clearly by its use. Emphasis will be given to the value of SEM as a tool of the forensic odontologist in bite mark analysis.

Published: August 2015

Abstract
A case is presented of sudden death during physical activity in a 15-year-old boy with clinically inactive mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (Kawasaki disease). At autopsy, the coronary arteries were involved by multiple aneurysms and obstructive thrombi, and the left ventricular myocardium was extensively scarred. Although Kawasaki disease most commonly occurs in infants and young children, it may be a cause of sudden death in adolescents.
Effect of Garment Cleaning on the Recovery and Redistribution of Transferred Fibers
Authors: Robertson J , Olaniyan D 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
In an attempt to remove incriminating evidence, a criminal may wash or dry-clean articles of clothing worn during the commission of a crime. This would be expected to remove contact trace material that might be present. In this study, articles of clothing were subjected to hand washing, machine washing, and dry cleaning following the transfer of fibers to them under simulated contact conditions. All three methods resulted in fiber loss, but the percentage of transferred fibers remaining varied from over 70% for any acrylic garment to less than 5% for a nylon garment, reflecting the persistence properties of these fabrics. In general, machine washing resulted in the poorest recovery of fibers. In all cases very few fibers in excess of 0.5 cm were recovered and there was some evidence of fragmentation of longer fibers. Fibers were also moved or redistributed away from the area of contact during cleaning.

Abstract
Concepts of the decision-making process in mass casualty identification are discussed. The importance of the correct data type, the correct data format, and the appropriate decision paths are emphasized. Also discussed are the hidden dangers in the use of changeable physical characteristics for sorting factors. A suggested decision process for use in postmortem identification is outlined, along with its application to computer-assisted identifications.
