Induced Optical Chirality of Porphyrin J-Aggregates with 2-Alkyl Alcohol in a Microemulsion System
Authors: Watarai Hitoshi , Hiramatsu Fumie , Duc Hoang Trong Tien , Lan Tran Thi Ngoc 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The J-aggregates of the diprotonated tetraphenylporphin formed in the o/w microemulsions including 2-alkyl alcohol, Triton X-100, toluene, and sulfuric acid, exhibited an induced circular dichroism (ICD) spectra corresponding to the chirality of the alcohol. The ICD intensity remarkably depended on the concentrations of Triton X-100 and sulfuric acid as well as 2-alkyl alcohol. The results suggested the nonstoichiometric formation of the chiral conformation of the nano-J-aggregates in the microemulsion droplets.
Interaction-dependent Native Chemical Ligation and Enzyme Reconstitution for Detection of Peptide–Peptide Interaction
Authors: Takahashi Tsuyoshi , Saito Akinori 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
A new detection method for ligand–protein interactions was constructed using interaction-dependent native chemical ligation and enzyme reconstitution (IDNCL-ER) by employing ribonuclease S. Using a coiled-coil peptide pair as a model of ligand–protein interactions, we determined that IDNCL-ER can work well to detect the peptide–peptide interactions by enzymatic activity.

Published: May 2014

JSim is a simulation system for developing models, designing experiments, and evaluating hypotheses on physiological and pharmacological systems through the testing of model solutions against data. It is designed for interactive, iterative manipulation of the model code, handling of multiple data sets and parameter sets, and for making comparisons among different models running simultaneously or separately. Interactive use is supported by a large collection of graphical user interfaces for model writing and compilation diagnostics, defining input functions, model runs, selection of algorithms solving ordinary and partial differential equations, run-time multidimensional graphics, parameter optimization (8 methods), sensitivity analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation for defining confidence ranges. JSim uses Mathematical Modeling Language (MML) a declarative syntax specifying algebraic and differential equations. Imperative constructs written in other languages (MATLAB, FORTRAN, C++, etc.) are accessed through procedure calls. MML syntax is simple, basically defining the parameters and variables, then writing the equations in a straightforward, easily read and understood mathematical form. This makes JSim good for teaching modeling as well as for model analysis for research. For high throughput applications, JSim can be run as a batch job. JSim can automatically translate models from the repositories for Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) and CellML models. Stochastic modeling is supported. MML supports assigning physical units to constants and variables and automates checking dimensional balance as the first step in verification testing. Automatic unit scaling follows, e.g. seconds to minutes, if needed. The JSim Project File sets a standard for reproducible modeling analysis: it includes in one file everything for analyzing a set of experiments: the data, the models, the data fitting, and evaluation of parameter confidence ranges. JSim is open source; it and about 400 human readable open source physiological/biophysical models are available at http://www.physiome.org/jsim/.
Słowotwórcze zasoby nowych stylów funkcjonalnych w językach słowiańskich

Derivational resources of new functional styles in the Slavic Languages
In this paper, the author focuses primarily on several new functional styles, and such productive word-formative processes as compounding and affixation in modern Slavic languages. Minor processes like blending, clipping, and back formation are left aside. Based on large corpora and smaller hand-collected samples of electronic texts, the data has been drawn from advertising, daily press and the communicational sphere of information technology. The author hopes to demonstrate that the functional side of word formation is significantly more complex than simple naming and/or syntactic recategorization, etc. This becomes particularly evident as one ventures beyond the rather stable area of the lexicon and its conventionalized word-stock, and begins to consider active coining of novel lexical items, something that depends heavily on contextual factors, including the semantic, stylistic, textual and social environments in which they occur. The very act of forming a complex word serves a specific purpose in the textual and/or situational context. It is often that particular and specialized functions can be discovered, many of a metacommunicative nature. The paper aims to examine the processes of productivity and to highlight creativity in word formation with respect to functional discourse roles. Lexical creativity in journalism, advertising and electronic communication is employed in order to achieve certain stylistic effects, such as humour or irony. It is also a device to convey to the reader a sense of the author’s learnedness, sophistication, distance, and so on. It manifests itself in puns and other kinds of word play, metaphorical extension, willful error and duplication of the role of an existing formation. The article also deals with the evolution of specialized word-formative types of complex words, ones that lack a connecting vowel as a mean of expression of complex concepts of attributive and contextual content. Composition of a new type of complex words corresponds to a historical drift in formation of analytic and agglutinative lines in Russian.

Bella signora dai capelli turchini, or maybe o kruczoczarnych włosach – the translation of proper names in the Polish dubbed version of Roberto Benigni’s Pinocchio
The translation of proper names depends to a great extent on cultural marking, on the specific connotations they may evoke. The role played by each character is also important in films targeted mainly at children. The present article is an analysis of the translation of anthroponyms and toponyms in the Polish dubbed version of Roberto Benigni’s Pinocchio. This film adaptation is a perfect example of a living myth whose original colour is getting blurred.
Przekładalne/nieprzekładalne: problem transferu kulturowego w przekładzie audiowizualnym na przykładzie francuskiego tłumaczenia Przypadku Krzysztofa Kieślowskiego
Authors: Niziołek Renata

Translatable/Untranslatable: the problem of cultural transfer in audiovisual translation, based on the example of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Blind Chance
Audiovisual translation in the form of subtitles requires a very special approach in which the task of the translator is not only to transfer dialogue from one language to another, but also to establish the degree of universality carried by the film’s message and to make necessary changes to the content. Kieślowski’s film Blind Chance is full of references to contemporary Polish history as well as characteristic elements of everyday reality during the Communist era. The aim of this article is to analyse translations of selected dialogues from the film and to reflect upon the possibility/impossibility of carrying out a cultural transfer, which determines the extent to which the film is understood by foreign viewers.

Translation of English‑language movie titles and their functioning on the Polish market
A title is a very important part of a work, not only functioning as a proper name, and informing about the content, but also attracting potential customers. Moreover, the titles are often deeply culture‑rooted, they refer to the specific events, places, or other texts popular in a given culture. This paper analyzes the selected sample of several dozens of movie titles translated from English into Polish with particular emphasis on transfer methods that are most commonly used. This paper investigates the various functions fulfilled by the titles rendered by each of the described methods. The article examines how the different methods are received by the viewers, and how they function in the target culture.
An Experimental Investigation of Auctions and Bargaining in Procurement
Authors: Shachat Jason , Tan Lijia 
Published: May 2014

In reverse auctions, buyers often retain the right to bargain further concessions from the winners. The optimal form of such procurement is an English auction followed by an auctioneer's option to engage in ultimatum bargaining with the winners. We study behavior and performance in this procurement format using a laboratory experiment. Sellers closely follow the equilibrium strategy of exiting the auction at their costs and then accepting strictly profitable offers. Buyers generally exercise their option to bargain according to their equilibrium strategy, but their take-it-or-leave-it offers vary positively with auction prices when they should be invariant. We explain this deviation by modeling buyers' subjective posteriors regarding the winners' costs as distortions of the Bayesian posteriors, calculated using a formulation similar to a commonly used probability weighting function. We further test the robustness of the experimental results and the subjective posterior explanation with three additional experimental treatments. Data, as supplemental material, are available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2013.1880 . This paper was accepted by Teck-Hua Ho, behavioral economics.
An Evaluation of a Smoking Cessation Program for Special Populations in Australia
Authors: Mikhailovich Katja , Morrison Paul 
Published: May 2014

AbstractThe prevalence of smoking is much higher among the poor, marginalised and disenfranchised. Those who are dependent on alcohol and other drugs, suffering mental illness, and Indigenous people are among the heaviest smokers and are least likely to quit. This article describes a smallscale evaluation of a smoking cessation program, which used tailored nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) aimed at these groups, between 2004 to 2006. A mixed methodology approach to data collection was employed. The quantitative data indicated that a low level of success was achieved by program participants. The qualitative data provided rich accounts of peoples' experiences in the program. These could be used to develop more effective programs that take a full account of the complex issues that shape participants' responses to smoking cessation and provide greater levels of sustained motivation. Several issues related to the conduct of rigorous evaluation studies in this context are highlighted.
Minority learners – Excluded from the narrative of ‘celebrating diversity’?
Authors: Zimenkova Tatjana 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
European societies increasingly implement diversity education as part of citizenship education (CE) curricula in order to provide young people with skills for dealing with diversity. This article analyses the policies and practices of diversity education at both the level of the European Union and the Council of Europe, and on the level of nation states, focusing on Germany and Russia as examples. In Europe, diversity education at schools simultaneously pursues two separate goals: on the one hand, teaching materials and education policies generate a grand narrative of celebrating European diversity. On the other, those same materials and policies stipulate that issues of inequality are to be dealt with separately. Thus, within European citizenship, diversity education and inequalities are often decoupled. Conceptualizing diversity in terms of heterogeneities and inequalities, this article reveals the ways in which diversity and inequalities are decoupled in citizenship and civic education and asks what happens when diversity is treated only as a matter of celebration. Examining blog posts from LGBTQ youth who are minority learners who experience exclusion, the article demonstrates the way in which the narrative of celebration of diversity disempowers them and how it contributes towards more uncertainty and more (self-)exclusion of those learners who do not find themselves within celebration of diversity narratives. The article argues for a reintroduction of the term ‘heterogeneities’ into CE and concludes by suggesting that diversity education as part of CE should begin with the question of whether there are any heterogeneities that do not require action or critical reflection.

Playback Theatre: Learning and enquiry through applied theatre
Authors: Wright Peter 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
This article examines Playback Theatre (PBT) as a contemporary form of performance where theatre and learning combine. In PBT actors and a musician animate or playback stories from the audience in generative ways – this form being rich with potential for learning, healing and community building. Conducted over a twelve-month period with Sydney PBT 47 participants who were audience members shared their experiences of the form and revealed three essential practices of PBT, the enablers of modelling, witnessing and telling, and five dimensions of learning that flow from them. An emergent model of PBT is described as a tool for understanding this cultural ecology, and the form is foregrounded as a site for arts-based enquiry and relational forms of knowing with the benefits that flow from these productive practices.
Structural change and diversity in theatrical groups: An empirical study in the Lisbon Area
Authors: Costa Pedro , Borges Vera , Graça Susana 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Organizational structures in the cultural and creative sectors are being challenged by deep changes in the economic, cultural and governance frameworks in which they operate. These changes force them to assume increasingly differentiated strategies to face the challenges that thus emerge. This phenomenon increases the complexity of the analysis of the art worlds and it also brings new challenges to the conception of public policies for these sectors. This is particularly visible in the field of the performing arts; we see that happening when we observe the evolution of organizational structures, the economic and social behaviour of these agents, the professional paths and individual careers, as well as when we witness the indecisions and dilemmas in contemporary public policies in those fields.
Drawing on recent debates of sociology and economics of the arts and culture and departing from a typology previously suggested elsewhere by the authors to analyse theatrical structures, this article offers an empirical standpoint towards five dimensions of theatre groups work: organizational structure, artistic work, art world commitment, economic structure and geographical scope. Focusing on empirical research conducted with theatre groups in the Lisbon area, this study applies and operationalizes an analytical typology concerning the work of theatre groups and their structural organization in order to extract conclusions that may inform public policy decisions. Some reflections on todays crisis and the importance of public support for the performing arts are put forth.
Regionalism in Portugal: How cultural heritage makes a difference in the global context
Authors: Magalhães Fernando 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The European Union is a transnational space, composed of national communities that are culturally and socially heterogeneous. In this context, all of these communities are invented and reinvented permanently as different cultural places within a global space. It is a process where heritage and museology acquires a prominent place in the cultural diversity affirmation inside Europe.
Although considered an example of political administrative centralism, Portugal is also, like other European countries, divided into regions. These regions, devoid of political power, remain in the minds of local leaders as cultural representations. In this article, I intend to analyse these leaders’ discourses and claims regarding the Leiria region. They use the cultural heritage as a resource to build discourses about regional identity.
Shenandoah Valley Nanoscience Outreach Collaboration

Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTJames Madison University (JMU) faculty and K-12 teachers founded in 2011 the Shenandoah Valley Nanoscience Outreach Collaboration (SVNOC) effort. The goal of SNVOC is to help K-12 teachers incorporate nanoscience concepts into their classrooms. In this work we present how SVNOC participants use the Nanodays experimental kits to help students understand basic nanotechnology principles such as “How small is small?” Our preliminary results show that for PE the best experiments are the ones that are outside the operating schema of kids so they can stimulate further research. At the HS level, there is a consensus that students need more challenging mathematics that can be extracted from these experimental kits.
Deformation of Porous, Nanostructured Silver at Room Temperature and 150 °C
Authors: Noiseau Guillaume , Becker Michael F. , Keto John W. , Kovar Desiderio 
Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTPorous, nanostructured silver samples were produced using a direct-write method where a nanoparticle aerosol consisting of particles with a mean size of approximately 5 nm were accelerated to speeds of approximately 1000 m/sec and impacted onto a translating substrate [1]. The impacting particles have sufficient energy to stick to the substrate, allowing patterned thick films to be directly written from the aerosol without a mask. Unlike other low temperature processing routes for achieving patterned films, no organics are added that can interfere with postdeposition processing. Typical films are 5- 100 μm thick, up to several centimeters long, and have an as-deposited relative densities as high as 70% of bulk Ag. Compression tests were carried out in steps at room temperature and at 150°C under constant displacement rates. Local strain and densification were measured by optical profilometry between each compression step. The results can be used as a starting point to better understand the mechanisms that govern plasticity, creep, and sintering in nanostructured, porous silver at low processing temperatures.
Behavior of Magnetorheological Fluids
Authors: Ginder John M. 
Published: May 2014

In the absence of an applied magnetic field, magnetorheological (MR) fluids typically behave as nearly ideal Newtonian liquids. The application of a magnetic field induces magnetic dipole and multipole moments on each particle. The anisotropic magnetic forces between pairs of particles promote the head-to-tail alignment of the moments and draws the particles into proximity. These attractive interparticle forces lead to the formation of chains, columns, or more complicated networks of particles aligned with the direction of the magnetic field. When these structures are deformed mechanically, magnetic restoring forces tend to oppose the deformation. Substantial field-dependent enhancements of the rheological properties of these materials result, as demonstrated in Figure 1.The myriad potential applications of MR and electrorheological (ER) fluids provide considerable motivation for research on these materials. The availability of fluids with yield stresses or apparent viscosities that are controllable over many orders of magnitude by applied fields enables the construction of electromechanical devices that are engaged and controlled by electrical signals and that require few or no moving parts. Potential automotive applications include electrically engaged clutches for vehicle powertrains and engine accessories as well as semiactive shock absorbers that can adapt in real time to changing road conditions. Semiactive dampers for rotorcraft control surfaces are among the potential aerospace applications. The critical need to mitigate the structural vibrations of large structures has led to the construction of large, high-force MR-fluid-based dampers. A promising application in manufacturing processes is the computer-aided polishing of precision optics in which abrasive particles are suspended in an MR fluid so that the polishing rate is determined in part by the strength of an applied magnetic field.
