Published: November 2014

The paper attempts to provide rationalization for selecting economic activities
qualifying for engineering (rationalist) development. The authors propose a
criterion enabling to reasonably identify sectors of the national economy or
groups of enterprises of the same type of economic activity (according to the
Russian National Classifier of Economic Activities) to qualify for state financial
backing for the purpose of coordinated development of the national economy
both in the short-term and long-term perspectives. Potential of rationalist
development and its dynamics by types of economic activities are assessed.
Justified is the use of criterion, enabling to transit to managed economic
development.

The article analyses the Olympic project inf uence on Sochi health resort modern tourist infrastructure formation and development. It is focused on the analysis of the processes, which took place in collective means of accommodation system on the dif erent stages of Olympic project implementation. In particular, the article contains the analysis of the data on collective means of accommodation number and structure changes, as long as hotel room capacity of the city at the time of Candidature File set up didn’t met the IOC requirements and conf ned Sochi’s development possibilities in its function as a mountain and ski resort.
Examination of changes in local tourist infrastructure was carried out in order to
estimate to what degree the goals proclaimed in Candidature File were implemented, including the task to assure conditions to convert Sochi resort to all-year-round world class resort and its further sustainable development. An improvement of accommodation system is considered as one of the most important conditions of tourist f ows’ growth and ef ective usage of material and nonmaterial Olympic Games 2014 Legacy.
An important aspect of this research is the current situation analysis and identif cation of problems, which prevent ef ective usage of Sochi tourist infrastructure established in post-Olympic period. After examination of tourist industry internal and external factors that determine the tourist f ows capacity and dynamics we conclude that transport accessibility is the most important condition of tourist f ows stable growth.

MicroRNAs as therapeutic targets in cardiomyopathies: myth or reality?
Authors: Nair Nandini , Gongora Enrique 
Published: November 2014

AbstractThe identification of biomarkers for cardiomyopathy presents a distinct challenge as the etiologies are widely varied. The discovery of small non-coding miRNAs with gene regulatory function has opened new avenues of investigation in basic and clinical sciences. The search for regulatory nucleotide sequences that have specific gene targets have put miRNAs at the forefront of development of therapeutics, and may serve as valuable diagnostic and/or therapeutic targets. MiRNAs appear to influence both positive and negative remodeling. As cardiac remodeling is a complex process, global molecular networks and miRNA profiles may be required to fulfill the roles of macroregulators. The type of cardiomyopathy leading to heart failure in the long run appears to have a distinct molecular pattern underlying the pathophysiology. This review discusses in brief the existing literature on the molecular signatures in dilated, ischemic, hypertrophic, stress, and peripartum cardiomyopathies that may be used to target therapies for specific etiologies once diagnosed, therefore exploring the utility of specific miRNAs in tailoring therapy for heart failure based on etiology.
Latrophilins updated
Authors: Meza-Aguilar Diana G. , Boucard Antony A. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Latrophilins (LPHN) are part of a yet unexplored family of receptors comprising three isoforms, LPHN1-3, and belonging to a unique branch of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) named adhesion GPCR (aGPCR). LPHN are considered to be prototypical models for the study of aGPCR as they are one of the most evolutionary conserved members. Previously described as the target for a potent neurotoxin from the black widow spider venom, LPHN are now being studied under a whole new perspective. Indeed, recent advances have provided a better understanding of different aspects of this prototypical family of receptors: 1) elucidation of LPHN ectodomain organization by crystallography has unveiled a new functional domain with great repercussion on all the other members of the aGPCR family, 2) proteomic approaches have opened the gate to unsuspected functional characteristics of LPHN cellular role, and 3) genetic approaches have provided hints into the physiological functions of LPHN in specific systems and organisms. Moreover, genomic linkage studies screening human patients from diverse genetic backgrounds have involved LPHN gene defects in human disorders such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and cancer. In this review, we will provide a historical perspective addressing experimental research on these receptors while highlighting the new advances and discoveries concerning LPHN functions. As GPCR still represent the most studied targets for the development of pharmacological approaches aiming at alleviating human disorders, the relevance of studying LPHN retains a high pertinence to better understand these receptors for the treatment of human diseases.
Half the sum of positive roots, the Coxeter element, and a theorem of Kostant
Authors: Prasad Dipendra 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Interchanging the character and co-character groups of a torus T over a field k introduces
a contravariant functor T → T
∨.
Interpreting ρ : T(ℂ) → ℂ×, half the sum of positive roots for
T, a maximal torus in a simply connected semi-simple group G (over ℂ) using this duality, we get a co-character
ρ∨ : ℂ× → T
∨(ℂ) for which ρ∨(e
2πi/h
) (h the Coxeter number) is the Coxeter conjugacy class
of the dual group G
∨(ℂ).
This point of view gives a rather transparent proof of a
theorem of Kostant on the character values of irreducible
finite-dimensional representations of G(ℂ) at the Coxeter conjugacy class: the proof amounting to the fact that in G
∨
sc(ℂ), the simply connected cover of G
∨(ℂ), there is a unique
regular conjugacy class whose image in G
∨(ℂ) has order h (which is the Coxeter conjugacy class).
Suicide risk assessment: searching for true positive
Authors: Podolak Evan 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Suicide is a major public health problem and the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. Due to low base rates and the numerous comorbid risk factors associated with suicide, accurate prediction is difficult. This is particularly true for adolescents and young adults. In this article, some associated risk factors are discussed in the context of two high-risk populations (young adult prison inmates and young adult veterans) and several recommendations are made for conducting suicide risk assesments. General prescriptions for intervention are also outlined with the goal of reducing overly defensive practice and increasing the likelihood that high-risk individuals will receive effective intervention. Finally, several suggestions for future research are made.
Theory for processing data on the Web
Authors: Martens Wim 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops a wide range of standards for data processing on the Web. Prominent examples are RDF, SPARQL, XML, XPath, XQuery, and XSLT. Since these standards are widely used, they bring many interesting challenges for researchers. During the development of these standards, the W3C often works under a rather tight time schedule and does not always have all the cards on the table when design decisions need to be made. This is a situation in which research and practice can greatly benefit from each other. The W3C continuously releases drafts of the standards which researchers can investigate. Researchers can inform the W3C of their results and, conversely, the W3C can give the opportunity to immediately incorporate research results into practice.
Public versus Private Market Participants and the Prices Paid for Private Companies
Authors: Covrig Vicentiu , McConaughy Daniel L. 
Published: November 2014

AbstractThis study examines the impact of the market participant on prices paid for private companies in the Pratt’s Stats database. We examine approximately 4,200 transactions over the period of 2000–2011 for companies with sales of $1 million or more. We find that public buyers pay more after controlling for the target’s size, industry, age, estimated growth rate, and profitability, as well as the time of the transaction. We also find that smaller companies and C-corporations sell at higher multiples. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that the price paid for a company is related to whether the market participant is private or public. Further, our results provide additional insights to users of the Pratt’s Stats database regarding the characteristics of the transactions in this well-known and often-used database.
‘The understanding prescribes laws to nature’: Spontaneity, Legislation, and Kant’s Transcendental Hylomorphism
Authors: Pollok Konstantin 
Published: November 2014

Abstract:In this paper I argue for the following two related claims. First, a successor version of the scholastic ‘forma-non-afficit’ theorem functions as the key to Kant’s transcendental idealism. Second, drawing on the ‘natural right’ tradition which Kant sees himself being part of, the relation between our cognitive spontaneity and the legislation of the understanding is one of acknowledgment (rather than creation) of the laws of the understanding. This interpretation allows us to make sense of pure concepts and principles of the understanding as the fundamental laws of nature. They rationally constrain our empirical concepts and judgments, and thus warrant the ‘lawfulness in the connection of appearances.’ (Prol, AA 04:§ 36)
Einfluss von Betonzusatzmitteln auf die Energieund CO2-Bilanz von Beton / Influence of superplasticizers on the energy- and CO2 -balance of concrete
Authors: Obrecht J.-M. , Gälli R. , Zimmermann P. , Fallscheer F. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The energy consumption and the C02 emissions during the production of two different concrete mixes with identical concrete properties were compared. The two concrete samples were prepared with and without the addition of a superplasticizer. Less energy was consumed and less C02 was emitted for the case of concrete production including a superplasticizer as compared to the case of concrete production without a superplasticizer. This is due to the fact, that when a superplasticizer is used, less cement is needed to produce concrete with the same properties as those of concrete without superplasticizers. However, the relatively small dijferences in the energy consumption and in the C02 emissions become insignificant, if the entire life cycle of a building is considered. Effects like durability and the need for maintenance are expected to have a much higher influence on the life cycle assessment of concrete buildings.
Oberflächenschutzsysteme für das Erstellen von hochbeständigen Betonkonstruktionen / Protective Coatings of Concrete Structures for High Durability
Authors: Gerdes A. , Wittmann F.H. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
In practice concrete structures are often exposed to various environmental impacts which determine strongly durability of concrete and concrete structures. Costs of restoration of damaged concrete structures may be extremely high, in some cases higher than demolition and rebuilding. Not only real costs and financial investment for repair measures may be exorbitant, but limited use and negative impacts on the environment have to be taken into consideration too. In this paper a concept to reach sufficient durability is being developed in which technical, ecological and economical requirements are implied. For the realisation of this concept cement-based coatings with particular high resistance against chloride penetration and carbonation play a central role. It will be shown in this contribution that this type of coatings can protect the load bearing structure in an efficient way for a predetermined period. In this way long-term durability of concrete structures and reinforced elements exposed to aggressive environment can be achieved in both an economic and ecologic way.
Verankerung der Stützmauer Entschigtal / Anchorage of the Sustaining Wall Entschigtal
Authors: Schmid M. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Structural design and the position of the sustaining wall Entschigtal were at the origin of corrosion of the back layer of reinforcement. A drecrease of the load bearing section was observed in 1995. The assessment of the actual state of the reinforcement turned out to be a complex task in the context of the inspection of the structure. It was the combination of different test methods which finally led to reliable results concerning the extent and the position of corrosion of reinforcement. In order to restore the load bearing capacity for the remaining required service- life consolidation measures werde necessary. Permanent strand anchors have been placed to strengthen the wall.
Historische Bauterrakotta: Entwicklung - Schadensbilder - Konservierungskonzepte / Historical Building Terracotta: Development - Characteristic Damage - Concepts for Conservation
Authors: Wallasch S. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The following article would like to acquaint the reader with the research project, entitled „Preservation of North German Terracotta, as exemplified by the castles of Schwerin, Gadebusch and Basedow". This paper gives an overview of the way and the main subjects of our work which is to be dealt with through inter-disciplinary cooperation and contains results of the chemical investigations, in particular ceramic tests and protective material tests. The aim is to identify both the causes and the development of the various types of damage to terracotta, both where their cause is environmental and where it lies in the manufacturing process. The following stage is the problem of on-site conservation. The term „conservation " here does not refer only to the protective material complex but basicaly also to some materials and techniques necessary for conservation, for example adhesive mortars (to fill blistered areas), battering mortars (to secure the transitional areas of intact surfaces and de tio rated surfaces) and technics of desalination. At the same time, attention is directed to the fact that the material classification „building terracotta" includes a very wide range of characteristic properties, so that one cannot speak of terracotta as such.
Endolithic Microorganisms in the Biodeterioration of the Tower of Beiern / Die Rolle endolithischer Mikroorganismen bei der biologischen Zerstörung am Turm von Beiern
Authors: Ascaso C. , Wierzchos J. , Rodrigues J. Delgado , Aires-Barros L. , Henriques F.Μ.A. , Charola Α.E. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The Tower of Beiern was colonized by various organisms, ranging from endolithic bacteria to higher plants. The paper focuses on the deterioration that the endolithic microorganisms: bacteria and cyanobacteria, algae and funghi, cause on the compact Lioz limestone. The presence of these microorganisms in the subparallel Assuring characteristic of this stone is illustrated as well as their association with the clay minerals present. Their biogeochemical action results in an increase in surface roughness, subsurface porosity and eventual flaking of the stone surface.
The Masonry of the Tower of Belem and its Repointing / Das Mauerwerk des Turmes von Beiern und das Verfugen
Authors: Henriques F. Μ. A. , Charola A.E. , Aires-Barros L. , Rodrigues J.Delgado 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The main problem presented by the Tower of Beiern masonry was the high incidence of open joints or joints with poor mortar. This situation had resulted in the infiltration of water into the Tower masonry, particularly on the Ν and W facades. After cleaning and repointing, the presence of this moisture became more evident in dampness stains, which, as the Tower dries out, are disappearing. The paper discusses the laboratory testing carried out for the selection of mortars required both for in-depth filling of joints and voids and for repointing.
Konstruktive Injektion von historischem Mauerwerk mit mineralisch- oder polymergebundenen Mörteln / Structural injection of historical masonry using mineral or polymer based grouts
Authors: Van Gemert D. , Toumbakari E.-E. , Schueremans L. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Recent developments in injection grouts used for consolidation are proposed. Special compositious have been developed, made out of lime, cement and pozzolan. The stability, the viscosity and the mechanical properties are illustrated. Comparison is made with polymer grouts and with double injections using mineral and polymer grouts consequently. The influence of injections on the load-bearing capacity of the masonry is calculated. Some elements for the judgment of the safety and reliability of masonry structures are pointed out.
Imprägniermittel: Schutz von Betonfassaden in einem nassen Klima / Water Repellents: Protection of Facades of Concrete in a Wet Climate
Authors: Gislason R.S. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Water repellents are widely used in Iceland on structures of concrete for the purpose of protecting cracks against water and for reducing the moisture content of the concrete, often as priming imprégnants under paint coatings. The climate is wet, freeze-thaw cycles are frequent and exterior concrete has suffered serious damages in general. A number of experiments involving the various kinds of application of repellents has been carried out, including both laboratory testing and tests in real house situations. The results show the water repellents to be very effective in protecting commonly occurring relatively narrow cracks, but not to be very effective at all in the lowering of the moisture content of concrete exposed to the climate of south-west Iceland.
Quantitative, zerstörungsfreie Feuchtemessung in Baustoffen vor Ort mit der Time Domain Reflectometry / Quantitative, non-destructive moisture measurement in building materials on site by time-domain re ectometry
Authors: Stacheder M. , Grassegger G. , Grüner F. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
A new commercially available dielectric technique for the non-destructive determination of moisture in building materials based on the principle of 'time-domain reflectometry' (TDR) is presented. TDR measurements on samples of sandstone, brick, concrete and floor cover matched very well with results of conventional moisture measuring methods such as oven-drying or calciumcarbide-technique. The new method showed only a low influence of salt content or surface moisture of the material on the results.
