Parent-child conversations in three urban middle-class contexts: Mothers and fathers reminisce with their daughters and sons in Costa Rica, Mexico, and Germany
Authors: Schröder Lisa , Keller Heidi , Kleis Astrid 
Published: September 2014

Abstract. The present study investigated culture- and gender-differences in mother- and father-child reminiscing with 3-year old daughters and sons in urban middle-class families from Costa Rica, Mexico, and Germany. Families of the three contexts were overall similarly elaborative and children contributed a similar amount of memory elaborations. However, context specific use of different elaborative elements related to specifi c elaborative styles. Compared to the Latin American families, conversations in German families were least socially oriented. Across contexts, parents talked more about social aspects with daughters than with sons. Costa Rican mothers and fathers were equally elaborative, whereas German and Mexican mothers were more elaborative than fathers. We found similarities but also specifi cities in parent-child conversations about the past across these contexts with similar educational backgrounds.Resumen. El presente estudio investigó diferencias según cultura y género en las conversaciones sobre el pasado de niños y niñas de 3 años de edad con sus progenitores en contextos urbanos en Costa Rica, México y Alemania. En los tres contextos, el nivel de elaboración general de las conversaciones fue similar y los niños produjeron una cantidad similar de recuerdos. Sin embargo, se encontraron diferencias culturales en algunos aspectos de elaboración. En comparación con las familias latinoamericanas, las conversaciones de las familias alemanas estaban orientadas socialmente en menor medida. En todos los contextos, los progenitores hablaron más acerca de aspectos sociales con las hijas que con los hijos. Padres y madres costarricenses evidenciaron niveles de elaboración similares, mientras que las madres alemanas y mexicanas mostraron niveles de elaboración mayores que los padres. Nuestros hallazgos indican la presencia de similitudes y diferencias en las conversaciones sobre el pasado en familias con niveles educativos similares provenientes de distintos contextos culturales.

Published: September 2014

By a co-precipitation method, we have synthesized Mn-doped ZnS nanoparticles with the Mn contents of 2-12 mol%from solutions Zn(CH3COO)2 0.1M, Mn(CH3COO)2 0.1M and Na2S 0.1M. XRD patterns, TEM images show these nanoparticles possess cubic crystalline structure with average size about of 3-4 nm. Photoluminescence spectra of samples present a broad yellow-orange band of 603 nm, its intensity increases with the increasing of Mn content from 2 mol% to 8 mol % when the excitation power density increases from 0.06 W/cm2 to 0.21 W/cm2. However, while the intensity increases with the increasing of Mn content its position is almost unchanged. This band is attributed to the radiativetransition of electron in 3d5unfulfilled shell of Mn2+ ions [4T1(4G)→ 6A1(6S). The absorption spectra show main bands at 308-328 nm with strong intensity related to absorption near band edge of ZnS crystal. These bands related to Mn2+ absorption also appeared with weaker intensity. The photoluminescence excitation spectra monitored at the yellow-orange band exhibited a band at 354 nm with strong intensity and bands at 432, 466, 497 nm with weaker intensity.The band of 354 nm is attributed to the absorption near band edge. Simultaneously, the bands of 432, 466, 497 nm are attributed to the absorption transitions of electrons from ground state 6A1(6S) to excited states 4T2(4D), 4A1(4G) - 4E(4G), 4T2(4G) of Mn2+ions in ZnS crystal, respectively.

Published: September 2014

The undoped and transition metal (Co, Ni)-doped TiO\(_{2}\) nanowires were synthesized by simple and low cost solvothermal method and their microstructure and optical properties were investigated based on the fixed doping concentration of 1 at.%. The X-ray diffractometer and highresolution transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that the nanowire had a single-crystalline rutile structure and grew along the [001] growth direction. The UV-VIS spectroscopy analysis showed that the optical absorption threshold of transition metal doped-TiO\(_{2}\) nanowires was the red-shifted to visible light region compare to the undoped nanowires, indicating promise for visible light photocatalytic and dilute magnetic semiconductor applications.

Photon - axion conversions in staticelectromagnetic fields of the size \(a\times b \times c\) areconsidered in detail by the Feynman diagram methods. The differential cross sections are presented and the numerical evaluations of the total cross section are given. Our result shows that the conversion cross-sections in the electric field are quite small, while in the strong magnetic field, the cross-sections are much enhanced, which can be measurable in current experiments.

Authors: Soa Dang Van , Tham Tran Dinh 
Published: September 2014

We show that Peccei - Quinn(PQ) symmetry can be a natural outcomein the 3-3-1 model with right neutrinos after imposing a\(Z_{11}\bigotimes Z_{2}\) symmetry. This symmetry is suitableaccommodated in this model when we augmented its spectrum byincluding a singlet scalar field with large VEV. After breakingthe PQ symmetry yielding the axion we study the decay of axioninto two photons. The result shows that the lifetime of axion isvery long, therefore the axion can play the role of the latedecaying particle(LDP) in a dark matter and it is stable in ouruniverse.

Published: September 2014

The gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in 15-20 nm size range have attracted attention for fabrication of smart sensing devices in biomedical sciences as diagnostic tools. Citrate capped GNPs are negatively charged, which can be exploited for electrostatic interactions with some positively charged biomolecules like antibody. In this study, we are developing a low-cost technique by using a common microwave system with medium power for synthesizing gold nanoparticles with using sodium citrate (Na\(_{3}\)Ct) reduction in chloroauric acid (HAuCl\(_{4}|).3H\(_{2}\)O). It was found that the comparing with normal thermal method, the reaction by the microwave irradiation was much faster. Besides, effects of the sodium citrate concentration and optical properties of gold nanoparticle swere studied. The optical properties of gold nanoparticles suspension were characterized by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis). Maximum absorbance wavelengths \((\lambda _{max})\) for gold nanoparticles are \(\sim 518-524\) nm with the size of 12-25 nm. The size of gold nanoparticles decreases with increasing concentration of sodium citrate. Besides, the morphology of gold nanoparticles has spherical shape with face-centered-cubic (fcc) crystalline structure.
Year-to-Year Variation in Prey Capture by
Cerceris fumipennis (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) at Two Sites in North Carolina
Authors: Swink Whitney G , Nalepa C A , Basham J P 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
Cerceris fumipennis Say is a solitary, ground-nesting wasp that preys exclusively on beetles in the family Buprestidae, including the invasive insect pest, emerald ash borer (Agrilusplanipennis Fairmaire). Understanding patterns of C.fumipennis prey collection over time may improve use of the wasp as a biosurveillance tool for locating pest Buprestidae of economic concern. Here, we report on variation in prey capture by C.fumipennis at two sites in North Carolina over a 4-yr period. In total, 466 beetles were collected from the wasps from 2010 to 2013; these comprise 35 species, four new state records, six new prey records, and three native pests. Changes in prey capture from year to year at both sites suggest the importance of continued biosurveillance at sites with known wasp aggregations as emerald ash borer and other invasive pests spread into and throughout North Carolina.

Published: September 2014

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To evaluate in vitro the shear bond strength of brackets recycled by sandblasting with aluminum oxide particles of different sizes or reconditioned industrially after successive rebonding.

Materials and Methods:
Eighty brackets were bonded and debonded sequentially three times. After the first debonding, brackets were divided into four groups: (group 1) sandblasting with aluminum oxide particles of 25 μ, (group 2) 50 μ, and (group 3) 110 μ, and (group 4) industrial recycling. Bond strength and adhesive material remaining on debonded bracket bases were evaluated for each successive debond.

Results:
No significant differences were detected between the four groups following the first recycle (P &gt; .05). After the second recycle, bond strength was significantly greater for the industrially recycled group than the other groups (P &lt; .016). When shear bond strength was compared within each recycling method, the bond strength of sandblasted brackets decreased with the increase of particle size and with each recycle; for the industrially recycled group, no significant differences were detected between the three sequences (P &gt; .016). In the evaluation of bond material remnant, the industrially recycled group left significantly less bond material after successive recycling than the other groups did (P &lt; .016). Within each recycling method, the adhesive remnant decreased significantly after successive debond (P &lt; .016).

Conclusions:
Industrial recycling obtained better results than sandblasting after three successive debondings. The brackets' shear bond strength decreased as the size of the aluminum oxide particle used for sandblasting increased and as recycling was repeated.

Abstract
Objective—To describe the process aspects (communication) of the information expectations of clients accessing oncology care services at a tertiary referral center for dogs with life-limiting cancer.
Design—Qualitative analysis of data acquired during in-person single and dyadic interviews.
Sample—43 dog owners participating in 30 interviews.
Procedures—Independent in-person interviews were conducted with standardized open- and closed-ended questions from April to October 2009. Thematic analysis was performed on transcripts of the interview discussions.
Results—The participants expected information to be communicated in a forthright manner; in multiple formats; with understandable language; in an unrushed environment wherein staff took the time to listen, answer all questions, and repeat information when necessary; on a continuous basis, with 24-hour access to address questions or concerns; in a timely manner; with positivity; with compassion and empathy; with a nonjudgmental attitude; and through staff with whom they had established relationships.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Results indicated that the manner in which information is communicated is vitally important to clients of dogs with life-limiting cancer in that it not only facilitates comprehension but also creates a humanistic environment from which clients derive the psychosocial support needed to successfully cope with their pet's condition.
Hand-assisted laparoscopic repair of a grade IV rectal tear in a postparturient mare
Authors: Stewart Suzanne G. , Johnston Janet K. , Parente Eric J. 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
Case Description—An 8-year-old multiparous Thoroughbred broodmare was admitted for evaluation of a rectal tear sustained during parturition.
Clinical Findings—On initial evaluation, the mare had mild signs of abdominal discomfort. A full-thickness rectal tear located 30 cm cranial to the anus and extending approximately 15 cm longitudinally along the surface of the small colon between the 4 and 6 o'clock positions, when viewed from behind, was diagnosed on examination per rectum.
Treatment and Outcome—Laparoscopic evaluation of the abdomen was performed to assess the tear and extent of peritoneal contamination. A hand-assisted repair via a flank incision was performed. The tear was closed in a single-layer, simple continuous pattern with size-0 polydioxanone with a handheld needle holder. Subsequently, a ventral midline celiotomy was performed, and intestinal contents were evacuated via a pelvic flexure enterotomy and a typhlotomy. Following surgery, the mare was managed with IV fluid therapy, partial parenteral nutrition, antimicrobials, and NSAIDs for 5 to 7 days before being gradually reintroduced to a complete pelleted feed and alfalfa hay. Prior to discharge, examination per rectum revealed no stricture formation associated with repair. The mare was discharged from the hospital and performed successfully as a broodmare, with the delivery of a live foal 1 year after surgery.
Clinical Relevance—Successful repair with an excellent outcome was achieved in this mare. Hand-assisted laparoscopic repair should be considered as a possible treatment option in horses with grade IV rectal tears.

Published: September 2014

Abstract
The paper presents how the parameters defining the state of the atmosphere: pressure, temperature, humidity, are affecting performance of the aircraft turbine engines and their durability. Also negative impact of dust pollution level is considered as an important source of engine deterioration. Article highlights limitation of the aircraft takeoff weight (TOW) and requirements for length of the runways depending on weather condition changes. These problems stem from the growing “demand” of gas turbine engines for an air. The highest thrust engines have air mass flow more than 1000 kg/s. Engine inlet ice formation is presented as a result of weather conditions and inlet duct design features.

Authors: Kulchytsky-zhyhailo Roman , Kołodziejczyk Waldemar 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
A three-dimensional problem of the theory of elasticity for halfspace with multilayered coating with periodical structure is considered. The fundamental layer consists of two layers with different thicknesses and different mechanical properties. The coating is described by the homogenized model with microlocal parameters. The solution is derived by using integral Fourier transform. Calculations were conducted with the assumption of elliptical distribution of normal and tangential tractions applied to the surface of the layered system in a cir-cular area. Analysis of the stresses was restricted to the first principal stress distribution.

Published: September 2014

Abstract
A new nematode species, Buckleyella ornata n. sp. (Philometridae), is described from female specimens found in the abdominal cavity (mesenteries) of the talang queenfish Scomberoides commersonnianus Lacepède (Carangidae, Perciformes) caught in Darwin Harbour, northern Australia. Based on light and scanning electron microscopical examination, the new species mainly differs from the only other congeneric species B. buckleyi Rasheed, 1963 in having a markedly shorter oesophagus (2.04–2.75 mm long), by the absence of a cephalic mound around the mouth aperture, by the presence of four submedian cephalic papillae of the inner circle, and by a somewhat different arrangement of cuticular ornamentations on the body surface. Three protruding oesophageal teeth and large, dome-shaped cephalic papillae of the external circle present in the smallest gravid female of B. ornata are atrophied in larger conspecific gravid females. Buckleyella ornata is the first known nominal species of a philometrid parasitizing carangid fishes in Australian waters.
Tunability of discrete diffraction in photonic liquid crystal fibres
Authors: Rutkowska K. , Laudyn U. , Jung P. 
Published: September 2014

AbstractIn this paper theoretical and experimental results regarding discrete light propagation in photonic liquid crystal fibres (PLCFs) are presented. Particular interest is focused on tunability of the beam guidance obtained due to the variation in either external temperature or optical power (with assumption of thermal nonlinearity taking place in liquid crystals). Highly tunable (discrete) diffraction and thermal self-(de)focusing are studied and tested in experimental conditions. Specifically, spatial light localization and/or delocalization due to the change in tuning parameters are demonstrated, with possibility of discrete spatial (gap) soliton propagation in particular conditions. Results of numerical simulations (performed for the Gaussian beams of different widths and wavelengths) have been compared to those from experimental tests performed in the PLCFs of interest. Owning to the limit of experimental means, direct qualitative comparison was not quite accessible. Nevertheless, a qualitative agreement between theoretical and experimental data (obtained in analogous conditions) has been achieved, suggesting a compact and widely-accessible platform for the study of tunable linear (and nonlinear) discrete light propagation in two-dimensional systems. Proposed photonic structures are of a great potential for all-optical beam shaping and switching.
Slab waveguide with air core layer and anisotropic left-handed material claddings as a sensor
Authors: Taya S. 
Published: September 2014

AbstractA three-layer slab waveguide with air core layer and anisotropic left-handed material claddings is investigated for sensing applications. Different from the waveguide mode sensors and surface plasmon resonance sensors in which the analyte is placed in the evanescent field region, the proposed sensor contains the sample in the core region that supports the oscillating field. Due to the strong concentration of the electromagnetic field in the analyte medium, the proposed device exhibits unusual sensitivity enhancement. The simulations revealed that the sensitivity improvement of TE3 mode compared to conventional evanescent wave sensor is approximately a factor of 20.

Published: September 2014

AbstractThis paper presents a review and in-depth analysis of three of the most popular techniques for processing PT images: differential absolute contrast, thermographic signal reconstruction and pulsed phase thermography. The fundamental concepts of the three techniques are reviewed and their application on thermal data obtained from the PT inspection on a carbon fibre reinforced specimen is analysed. Furthermore, a new promissory technique based on multivariate statistical analysis is also introduced and evaluated. The performance of the techniques is evaluated in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio at maximum signal contrast.
