Abstract
A study was performed on the microhabitat distribution and some aspects of behaviour of the ectosymbiotic branchiobdellidan Holtodrilus truncatus (Annelida, Clitellata) found on the freshwater shrimp that inhabit the Sugo River, Hyogo Prefecture, western Japan. Observations on shrimp that were collected from the Sugo River (2003 to 2011) confirmed that the host shrimp is Neocaridina spp. (Atyidae). The attachment location on the host shrimp was predominately between the 1st pleopod and the 5th pereopod (55.3%). The reproductive method of H. truncatus is hemaphroditism. The cocoon was found only inside the carapace of the host shrimp. The cocoon was transparent and contained a maximum of 14 juvenile worms (developing embryos). When hatching approached, H. truncatus’s worms became elongated and slender, and only one worm hatched out at a time. When Holtodrilus truncatus was removed from its host and was maintained in river water without any food, it survived for a maximum of 46 days. In a host exchange experiment, where we provided several other freshwater shrimp species, Palaemonidae fed on H. truncatus. Moreover, Palaemon paucidens and Macrobrachium nipponense from Lake Biwa also preyed upon H. truncatus. The possible symbiotic relationship between H. truncatus and Neocaridina spp. (family Atyidae) is further discussed.
Extensive Testing and Comparison of a New Type of Target for Use in Engineering Surveying
Authors: Braun Jaroslav , Štroner Martin , Urban Rudolf 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
The paper deals with the testing of a special target for determining the exact dimensions of steel structures and their descriptions. In most cases, the accuracy required in mechanical engineering is on the order of millimetres, and the location of a point on a steel construction is marked by a centre punch. Due to the segmentation of steel constructions and the impossibility of the vertical placement of a target, it is very difficult to use ordinary prisms because of their size and the linear error from a wrong rotation and a nontrivial conversion of the centre of a prism into a centre punch on a steel construction. For a more accurate determination of spatial coordinates, a special reflective target with a reflective foil and a mechanical collimator, which ensures the correct angle to the target device according to the instructions of the person at the instrument, has been developed. Centration with a high degree of accuracy is achieved by a spike. Its functionality and usability goals have been tested and compared with standard methods of measurements and goals in engineering structures.
Visualization of characteristics of the contact network between spheres in 3D assembly
Authors: Kobyłka R. , Molenda M. 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
Analysis of geometrical features of 3D granular assemblies poses difficulties in visualization of the effects taking place within the volume of the sample. This work presents the method for visualization of spatial distribution of the contact points in a monodisperse; frictional assembly composed of spheres and generated using three filling methods for a cuboidal or cylindrical container. The visualization is based on the projection of the contact points between particles on a hypothetical sphere followed by their representation on the plane. The proposed method was found to adequately visualize differences in the spatial structure of assemblies generated using various filling methods.

Abstract
Commonly used AIS devices on the ships covered by SOLAS Convention creates ideas of the use of AIS data in the situation of the risk of collision. AIS position report is a source of supplementary information derived from error leveraged radar measurement. However, many of users has opinions with regard to inconsistent AIS dynamic data in the process of decision-making by the officer of the watch. Taking into consideration the recordings of the studies and technical specification of AIS, the results of inconsistent data has been analysed in the context of collision avoidance
Local Monitoring of EGNOS Services
Authors: Felski Andrzej , Nowak Aleksander 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
Any SBAS system, as soon as it is permanently monitored by Earth stations, should deliver to the users correct information about quality of the augmented system. According to many sources of information, among them observations of authors, present accuracy of EGNOS service has accuracy about 1,5m (95%), but availability of the service is still controversial. First of all the quality of the system is guaranteed only inside the border of the system coverage which still do not affect all territory of European Union, however observed accuracy at times is better outside this area than next door to the RIMS station. In addition there are evidences that availability has random character and essential differences as well as lack of correlation of this parameter in the different point of observations has been observed. So in author’s opinion Local Monitoring of EGNOS service can contribute to better confidence of local users, especially in critical operations, like for example berthing of big ships or landing operations with EGNOS procedures. The example of EGNOS monitor which is working in real time and performed by the authors will be presented
The Accuracy of Determination of Radar Shadows
Authors: Łubczonek Jacek 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
Currently, the GIS software is often used to perform various tasks related to spatial planning. Exemplary use of GIS techniques is determination of marine radar shadows. Such analysis can be helpful during creating surveillance systems, which generally consist of several radar stations. But the use of standard analysis tools with the default functionality may not always yield satisfactory results. The reason for this, in the case of radar sensors, is the image distortion caused by the characteristics of the radar beam. This paper presents a modified method for the visibility analysis, which includes two basic radar image distortions - angular and radial distortion. Such improvement gives much more accurate results during determination of radar shadows then application of standard methods of viewshed analysis. Presented method was verified in the aspect of accuracy by using real radar image and radiolocation target. Further accuracy study took into consideration different DSM models used to perform viewshed analyses.

Abstract
This article focuses on the problem of determining a safe trajectory of a ship proceeding in a restricted area. An algorithm of trajectory choice has been developed, taking into account the parameters of the area, own ship, target ship and other vessels sailing in vicinity. The ship domain has been adopted as a safety criterion. The research results for selected test trials are presented and analyzed. The applicability of the proposed method of trajectory choice in real conditions is considered.

The International Ankle Consortium is an international community of researchers and clinicians whose primary scholastic purpose is to promote scholarship and dissemination of research-informed knowledge related to pathologies of the ankle complex. The constituents of the International Ankle Consortium and other similar organizations have yet to properly define the clinical phenomenon known as chronic ankle instability (CAI) and its related characteristics for consistent patient recruitment and advancement of research in this area. Although research on CAI and awareness of its impact on society and healthcare systems have grown substantially in the last 2 decades, the inconsistency in participant/patient selection criteria across studies presents a potential obstacle to addressing the problem properly. This major gap within the literature limits the ability to generalize this evidence to the target patient population. Therefore, there is a need to provide standards for patient/participant selection criteria in research focused on CAI, with justifications using the best available evidence.

Droit de cité : un bilan d'expériences de participation avec les groupes défavorisés
Authors: Mollet Albert 
Published: July 2013

Les opérations de rénovation urbaine, les politiques nationales et locales du logement ont souvent conduit à rejeter les familles défavorisées dans des cités HLM "bas de gamme" ou dans des logements précaires. Lorsqu' il s'agit soit de réhabiliter, soit de construire pour ces familles, élus locaux et organismes sociaux rencontrent de grandes difficultés : crainte que les améliorations soient dégradées aussitôt réalisées, mauvaises relations avec les locataires, alourdissements à la gestion.
Très conscients à la fois de la gravité de la situation et des difficultés à résoudre, certains organismes ont choisi d'innover, en décidant de profiter de la réhabilitation ou de la reconstruction pour modifier leurs relations avec les locataires : ils ont pour cela jugé nécessaire de mener toute 1'opération en concertation étroite avec les intéressés. De telles expériences ont été ainsi engagées à Lille (opération Crèche-Lievruwe) , à Rennes (Les hautes ormes), Reims (Ste-Thérèse), Marseille (Le petit séminaire), Dreux (Cité Prodhomme), Saint-Herblain (Camp Blanchard) .

« Des tambours sur les murs » : la mise en image des Afro-descendants de Montevideo
Authors: Epstein Ariela 
Published: July 2013

Le candombe est un rythme, une danse et un défilé, une pratique fondée par les esclaves noirs et leurs descendants, à Montevideo. Le candombe fut longtemps la seule forme de visibilité de la minorité afro-uruguayenne. Divers processus, institutionnels et populaires, lui donnent aujourd’hui de nouvelles dimensions. Différents types d’inscriptions murales associées au candombe sont apparus depuis la fin des années 1990 (peintures murales, graffitis, pochoirs) ; à travers elles, nous envisageons la place sociale et culturelle de la minorité noire, question complexe et dynamique. Sur les murs, la représentation hétérogène de la culture du candombe , à la fois légitime et transgressive, maintient et transcende son origine ethnique. Les murs sont l’espace où s’expose une communauté qui lutte pour sa reconnaissance et une pratique culturelle populaire, appropriée par tous ; c’est aujourd’hui une spécificité de Montevideo.
Le « Village Gai » de Montréal. Une aventure urbaine minoritaire
Authors: Giraud Colin 
Published: July 2013

Cet article interroge l’apparition d’un « quartier gay » à Montréal à travers les changements qui affectent le statut minoritaire et stigmatisé des populations homosexuelles dans les sociétés occidentales contemporaines. À partir d’une enquête portant sur le Village Gai de Montréal, il montre comment l’image du refuge identitaire est d’abord centrale dans la construction du quartier gay durant les années 1980 et comment elle est effectivement mobilisée par une première génération gay montréalaise. Les années 1990 inaugurent une nouvelle étape pour le quartier et les populations gays : celle de la conversion du stigmate en ressource sociale et spatiale.

Authors: Fedynich Alan M. , Colson William C. , Hewitt David G. , Kremer Shelly R. , Mason Corey D. 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
Nineteen eastern white-winged doves Zenaida asiatica asiatica were hatched and raised in captivity and used to develop an aging key that 1) quickly identifies juveniles based on a series of morphological features, and 2) provides estimates of juvenile age based on primary feather replacement. Birds were photographed every three days from 17 to 170 d posthatch to determine sequence of primary flight feather replacement; persistence of juvenile secondary coverts; and development of blue eye ring, black neck bars, and leg color. Eleven birds exhibited adult features such as absence of buffy-tipped primary coverts, blue eye-ring color, complete black neck bar, and red leg color at day 170 posthatch; two birds had these features as early as day 122. Replacement of primary feathers was variable among individuals beyond day 35 beginning with the third primary. Primary feather (primary notation P1–P10) replacement occurred gradually. By day 170, 2 of 17 birds had replaced all primary feathers, 3 birds had fully molted P9 but not P10, 8 birds had begun molting P9 but not P10, and 4 birds did not molt either P9 or P10. Increased variability in primary feather replacement occurred as juveniles progressed toward adulthood; this precluded accurate age estimates of older juveniles based exclusively on primary replacement. The present study provides a better understanding of the molting process that wildlife managers, biologists, and researchers can use at hunter check stations or during trapping and banding operations to separate age classes, which is necessary to establish hunting frameworks and to assess the population effects of harvest and other mortality factors. This pilot study provides the foundation needed for further investigations into developmental patterns of fledged juvenile white-winged doves and provides an aging key that represents an improvement over previous white-winged dove aging keys or reliance on aging keys of closely related species.
Developing Software to “Track and Catch” Missed Follow-up of Abnormal Test Results in a Complex Sociotechnical Environment
Authors: Smith M. , Murphy D. , Laxmisan A. , Sittig D. , Reis B. , Esquivel A. , Singh H. 
Published: July 2013

Summary
Background: Abnormal test results do not always receive timely follow-up, even when providers are notified through electronic health record (EHR)-based alerts. High workload, alert fatigue, and other demands on attention disrupt a provider’s prospective memory for tasks required to initiate follow-up. Thus, EHR-based tracking and reminding functionalities are needed to improve follow-up.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop a decision-support software prototype enabling individual and system-wide tracking of abnormal test result alerts lacking follow-up, and to conduct formative evaluations, including usability testing.
Methods: We developed a working prototype software system, the Alert Watch And Response Engine (AWARE), to detect abnormal test result alerts lacking documented follow-up, and to present context-specific reminders to providers. Development and testing took place within the VA’s EHR and focused on four cancer-related abnormal test results. Design concepts emphasized mitigating the effects of high workload and alert fatigue while being minimally intrusive. We conducted a multifaceted formative evaluation of the software, addressing fit within the larger socio-technical system. Evaluations included usability testing with the prototype and interview questions about organizational and workflow factors. Participants included 23 physicians, 9 clinical information technology specialists, and 8 quality/safety managers.
Results: Evaluation results indicated that our software prototype fit within the technical environment and clinical workflow, and physicians were able to use it successfully. Quality/safety managers reported that the tool would be useful in future quality assurance activities to detect patients who lack documented follow-up. Additionally, we successfully installed the software on the local facility’s “test” EHR system, thus demonstrating technical compatibility.
Conclusion: To address the factors involved in missed test results, we developed a software prototype to account for technical, usability, organizational, and workflow needs. Our evaluation has shown the feasibility of the prototype as a means of facilitating better follow-up for cancer-related abnormal test results.

Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTCauliflower‐like polyaniline (PANI) was successfully prepared using an interfacial polymerization method. By modification with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using chemical vapor deposition method, the surface wettability of cauliflower‐like PANI can be tailored to be superhydrophobic with a water contact angle of 160.4°. The deposition of the low‐surface‐energy silicon coating originated from PDMS pyrolysis on the cauliflower‐like PANI was confirmed by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The changes in thermal stability and conductivity of the as‐prepared PANI before and after PDMS treatment were also investigated by thermogravimetric analysis and using a four‐probe method. Compared with nanofiber‐shaped PANI by electrodepositing polymerization, the PDMS‐treated cauliflower‐like PANI has superior surface wettability. Our study may open a new way for fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces by developing novel nanostructured PANI. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014, 131, 39767.
Equiratio cumulative distribution function matching as an improvement to the equidistant approach in bias correction of precipitation
Authors: Wang Lin , Chen Wen 
Published: July 2013

AbstractEquidistant cumulative distribution function (CDF) matching has been used frequently in recent studies to bias‐correct raw modeled precipitation. However, this brief discussion shows that negative precipitation will result from applying this method. A feasible alternative to avoid this problem is to use equiratio CDF matching as proposed in this study. A real‐world assessment based on Coupled Model Inter‐comparison Project 5 (CMIP5) confirms the effectiveness and robustness of equiratio CDF matching in systematically removing biases in modeled precipitation. Our conclusions here will require a re‐examination of the relevant literature in which equidistant CDF matching is used to bias‐correct precipitation.
Cancer immunogenicity, danger signals, and DAMPs: What, when, and how?
Authors: Garg Abhishek D. , Dudek Aleksandra M. , Agostinis Patrizia 
Published: July 2013

AbstractCancer immunosurvelliance usually leads to formation of cancer cells that have been “immunoedited” to resist anti‐tumor immunity. One of the consequences of immunoediting that is, reduced immunogenicity, is an important roadblock in revival of stable and long‐lasting anti‐tumor immune responses. Research done during the last decade has shown that emission by the dying cancer cells of immunomodulatory factors or damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which can act as danger signals, is a critical event in accentuating the immunogenicity of cancer cells, in response to a subset of anticancer treatments. Recent evidence has defined that an apoptotic cell death subroutine and its underlying biochemistry, which has been termed as “immunogenic cell death (ICD)” or “immunogenic apoptosis,” is required for the efficient emission of DAMPs and inciting anti‐tumor immunity. Here, we review the basic concepts of ICD, like cancer immunogenicity, danger signals, and DAMPs. Moreover, we discuss the emerging molecular links between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, induction of a viral response‐like gene expression, danger signals, and anti‐tumor immunity. We envisage that along with ER stress‐based trafficking of DAMPs (which is a “short‐range communicator” of danger), the accompanying induction of a viral response‐like gene expression and the secretion of anti‐tumorigenic cytokines may become a crucial signature of ICD induction by anticancer therapy. © 2013 BioFactors, 39(4):355–367, 2013
