Morphology and immunohistochemical characteristics of the pterygopalatine ganglion in the chinchilla (Chinchilla laniger, Molina)
Authors: Szczurkowski A. , Sienkiewicz W. , Kuchinka J. , Kaleczyc J. 
Published: August 2013

Abstract
Histological and histochemical investigations revealed that the pterygopalatine ganglion (PPG) in the chinchilla is a structure closely connected with the maxillary nerve. Macro-morphological observations disclosed two different forms of the ganglion: an elongated stripe representing single agglomeration of nerve cells, and a ganglionated plexus comprising smaller aggregations of neurocytes connected with nerve fibres. Immunohistochemistry revealed that nearly 80% of neuronal cell bodies in PPG stained for acetylcholine transferase (CHAT) but only about 50% contained immunoreactivity to vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VACHT). Many neurons (40%) were vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-positive. Double-staining demonstrated that approximately 20% of the VIP-immunoreactive neurons were VACHT-negative. Some neurons (10%) in PPG were simultaneously VACHT/nitric oxide synthase (NOS)- or Met-enkephaline (Met-ENK)/CHAT-positive, respectively. A small number of the perikarya stained for somatostatin (SOM) and solitary nerve cell bodies expressed Leu-ENK- and galanin-immunoreactivity. Interestingly about 5-8% of PPG neurons exhibited immunoreactivity to tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). Intraganglionic nerve fibres containing immunoreactivity to VACHT-, VIP- and Met-ENK- were numerous, those stained for calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP)- and substance P (SP)- were scarce, and single nerve terminals were TH-, GAL-, VIP- and NOS-positive.

Published: August 2013

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the pharmacokinetics of simvastatin (SIM) administered orally in 6-week-old turkeys at a single dose of 2 mg/kg b.w. The SIM concentrations in plasma were determined by validated HPLC-MS/MS method. Mean (± SD; n = 10) values of pharmacokinetic parameters evaluated were as follows: Cmax = 0.49 ± 0.21 ng/ml, tmax = 1.6 ± 1.1 h, AUC(0-∞) = 1.08 ± 0.57 h×ng/ml, t1/2kel = 2.14 ± 1.3 h and MRT = 3.08 ± 1.52 h. The results indicate that the SIM is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract of turkeys; however, achieved plasma level is lower compared to those observed in mammals.
Toxin-producing fungi on feed grains and application of yeasts for their detoxification
Authors: Repečkienė J. , Levinskaitė L. , Paškevičius A. , Raudonienė V. 
Published: August 2013

Abstract
The research deals with the contamination of feeding crops with fungi, producing mycotoxins and use of selected yeasts for detoxification. The thin-layer chromatography and ELISA methods were applied for the analysis of fungal secondary metabolites. The results showed a high rate of the grain contamination with fungi, mainly from genera Penicillium, Fusarium, Aspergillus and Alternaria. Some of the fungal strains produced 6-9 toxic compounds. The novelty of the study was the application of the yeast strains in detoxification of aflatoxins, zearalenon and deoxynivalenol in feed.
In vitro and in vivo toxicity evaluation of the freshwater cyanobacterium Heteroleiblenia kuetzingii

Published: August 2013

AbstractCyanobacteria are prokaryotic organisms characterized by their ability to produce secondary metabolites with different biological activities. The aim of this work was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo toxicity of the cosmopolitan freshwater cyanobacterium H. kuetzingii. An extract from H. kuetzingii and cyanobacterial growth media were assessed for presence of intracellular and extracellular toxins by in vitro tests using primary cell cultures from mouse kidney and fibroblasts, cell lines A549 and 3T3, a fish cell line RTgill-W1 as well as by a traditional in vivo mouse bioassay. The presence of toxicity was compared with the ELISA and HPLC data for corresponding cyanotoxins. In vitro tests showed pronounced cytotoxicity of the cyanobacterium extract and growth medium in which H. kuetzingii released potential extracellular toxic compounds as the mammalian cells were significantly more sensitive to exposure compared to the fish cells. Histopathological analyses of the liver and kidneys of treated mice showed pathological changes such as leukocyte infiltration and necrosis, changes in the proximal and distal convoluted tubules, lack of differentiation of Bowman’s space, enlarged Bowman’s capsules and massive hemorrhages. ELISA and HPLC analyses confirmed the presence of saxitoxins and microcystins at low concentrations. In addition, the histological analyses suggest that H. kuetzingii produces other, yet unknown toxic metabolites. Monitoring efforts are therefore required to evaluate the potential hazard for the freshwater aquatic systems and possible public health implications associated with this cyanobacterium.
Risk. Dealing with Uncertainty in Modern Times
Authors: Bonß Wolfgang 
Published: August 2013

Abstract People have always lived under conditions of uncertainty. But how to deal with uncertainty and how security is produced varies depending on the social formation. This paper deals with the handling of uncertainty in modern societies. Modern societies always try to conceptualize uncertainties as action-related, responsible and calculable/predictable ‘risks’. This was a quite successful approach for a long time. However, under the conditions of ‘risk society’, this approach is increasingly difficult to work. Especially in the case of ‘new risks’, the attempt to conceptualize any uncertainty as a predictable and cumulatively controllable risk, can hardly be realized. That's why modern societies must ask for and reflect on a ‘new culture of uncertainty’.
Poverty in Abundance: Is Corruption an Answer?
Authors: Barber Benjamin R. 
Published: August 2013

Abstract With the challenges of inequality so embedded in the political and economic infrastructure and their origin at least in part associated with national and global forces outside and beyond the control of the city, remediation is extraordinarily difficult. Only with innovation and imagination is inequality likely to be touched. Only if we are willing to look at the informal as well as the formal economy, and ignore the common wisdom about corruption and squatting and hidden capital, are we likely to find some partial answers to the burdens under which the most progressive and prosperous cities labour.

Shock Therapy – Rethinking the Global Order
Authors: Nair Chandran 
Published: August 2013

Abstract The most obvious lesson from the recent crisis is that today's version of unfettered capitalism is unable to selfcorrect. For the past 30 years and more, perhaps, the neoliberal model of capitalism has ruled supreme, promoting ultimate freedom in markets and the globalisation of finance to apparently deliver endless prosperity to all through consumption-led growth. The result has been massive environmental damage, depletion of natural resources and a growing gap between rich and poor. The model is unravelling, as the hidden costs are surfacing everywhere. Asian governments are being called upon to wake up and understand that to rely on the market to correct the inefficiencies in the allocation of resources is at best futile and naive and at worst plain dishonest.
Voluntary Simplicity – A Path to Sustainable Prosperity
Authors: Elgin Duane 
Published: August 2013

Abstract Voluntary simplicity is not about living in poverty; it is about living with balance. This contribution illuminates the pattern of changes that an increasing number of people around the world are making their everyday lives as an active response to the challenges of our times. By embracing a lifeway of simplicity - characterized by a compassionate and ecological consciousness, frugal consumption, and inner development - people can change their lives and, in the process, move the world toward sustainable prosperity.
The Lifestyle Discourse in Consumer Capitalism
Authors: Bierhoff Burkhard 
Published: August 2013

Abstract This paper presents some dimensions of the lifestyle discourse which have become relevant in recent years in science and public. The discourse that had initially focused on the limits of growth increasingly showed the destructive consequences of the materialistic consumer way of life and discussed sustainable lifestyles. The commodification and infantilization of the consumers who are involved in the commodity structure of consumerist lifestyle have been criticized. For some time an increasing emphasis is found for problems that extend beyond one's own life. With increasing empathy the personal lifestyle is widely based on relationships and contexts outside the immediate sphere of life. Accordingly, a lifestyle of voluntary simplicity is propagated. The consistent postmaterialistic orientation, which means a renunciation of the consumer capitalism, is regarded as its central feature.
Horizontal Lifts of some Geometric Objects to the Bundle of Pairs of Volume Forms
Authors: Gąsior Anna 
Published: August 2013

Abstract
In this paper we present a bundle of pairs of volume forms V2. We describe horizontal lift of a tensor of type (1; 1) and we show that horizontal lift of an almost complex structure on a manifold M is an almost complex structure on the bundle V2. Next we give conditions under which the almost complex structure on V 2 is integrable. In the second part we find horizontal lift of vector fields, tensorfields of type (0; 2) and (2; 0), Riemannian metrics and we determine a family of a t-connections on the bundle of pairs of volume forms. At the end, we consider some properties of the horizontally lifted vector fields and certain infinitesimal transformations.
Optimal Control in Chemotherapy of a Viral Infection
Authors: Ştefănescu Răzvan , Pogan Matei-Ciprian 
Published: August 2013

Abstract
In this study we develop some results concerning the optimal chemotherapy in case of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). Generally, in viral infection, the drug strategy affects either the virus infectivity or reduce the virion production. The mathematical model proposed here, deals with the first situation, and represents an optimal control problem, with the state equation given by an ODE and the objective function based on a combination of maximizing benefit relied on T cells count (the white cells that coordinate activities of the immune system) and minimizing the systemic cost of chemotherapy. We demonstrate the existence of an optimal control and introduce the first order necessary optimality conditions in order to derive an algorithm to approximate the optimal chemotherapy strategy. Conclusive numerical simulations are presented.

Bone-to-Body Biometric Relationships for Owens and Lahontan Tui Chubs and their Hybrids in California
Authors: Leunda Pedro M. , Galicia David , Miranda Rafael , Madoz Javier , Parmenter Steve 
Published: August 2013

Abstract
Regression parameters for the length of several bony structures against fish body length, and for body length against body weight, were determined for Owens tui chub Siphateles bicolor snyderi, Lahontan tui chub Siphateles bicolor obesa, and hybrid swarm deriving from the two species. Two-hundred eleven individuals from 16 localities from the Owens River and neighboring basins along the border between California and Nevada were used for regression analyses. The coefficient of determination of linear regressions for scales, pharyngeal arches, dentaries, cleithra, and opercula against body length were consistently high (r2 ≥ 0.9). Differences between subspecies were mainly with reference to the intercept parameter in comparisons involving Lahontan tui chub. Coefficients of determination from log-linear length–weight regressions were also high (r2 ≥ 0.9) for individual taxa and for the pooled data set combining both Lahontan and hybrid species. The length–weight relationship did not differ between subspecies. Estimates of the length–weight relationship using data pooling both Lahontan and hybrid tui chub suggest a weak allometric growth effect (P &lt; 0.05). The bone-length to body-length and body-length to body-weight relationships presented here will be useful tools for future dietary studies of tui chub predators as well as for archaeological and paleontological studies on tui chub remains.
Merchandise and Replenishment Planning Optimisation for Fashion Retail
Authors: Iannone Raffaele , Ingenito Angela , Martino Giada , Miranda Salvatore , Pepe Claudia , Riemma Stefano 
Published: August 2013

The integration among different companies functions, collaborative planning and the elaboration of focused distribution plans are critical to the success of each kind of company working in the complex retail sector. In this contest, the present work proposes the description of a model able to support coordinated strategic choices continually made by Supply Chain (SC) actors. The final objective is achievement of the full optimisation of Merchandise & Replenishment Planning phases, identifying the right replenishment quantities and periods. To test the proposed model's effectiveness, it was applied to an important Italian fashion company in the complex field of fast-fashion, a sector in which promptness is a main competitive leverage and, therefore, the planning cannot exclude the time variable. The passage from a total push strategy, currently used by the company, to a push-pull one, suggested by the model, allowed us not only to estimate a reduction in goods quantities to purchase at the beginning of a sales period (with considerable economic savings), but also elaborate a focused replenishment plan that permits reduction and optimisation of departures from network warehouses to Points of Sale (POS).
Designing an Efficient Production System: A Case Study of a Clothing Company
Authors: Bevilacqua M. , Ciarapica F.E. , Crosta A. , Mazzuto G. , Paciarotti C. 
Published: August 2013

This paper is based on a discrete-event simulation model and reproduces the sewing department of a clothing company involved in the fashion industry. It aims to quantitatively assess the effects of different production configurations on flow time and production capacity. In particular, the production phases of men's jackets are examined. Eight configurations are evaluated, stemming from the combination of two parameters: batch size and number of machines. For each configuration, the flow time, the production capacity and the waiting time are computed. A subsequent Design of Experiment (DoE) analysis has been performed on these configurations, with the aim of identifying significant single and combined effects of the above parameters on the results observed. The goal is to obtain improvements in the production process. The data provided by the simulation is used in order to make a critical analysis of the system production and leads to the formation of proposals for the improvement of the lay-out.
The Magic Wand of the Wagnerians: Musik als Ausdruck
Authors: McClatchie Stephen 
Published: August 2013

As is well-known, throughout most of the nineteenth century the defence of Wagner's music was not undertaken on the same grounds on which it was attacked. Critics such as Ludwig Bischoff and Eduard Hanslick attacked Wagner's music for its alleged "formlessness" and harmonic illogicalities, while Wagner's partisans countered with appeals to vaguer criteria of beauty and truthfulness, couched generally in leitmotivic terms, often focusing on the so-called "symphonic web" of Wagner's late works. One particular strategy is encapsulated by the phrase "Musik als Ausdruck," which forms the basis of a number of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century monographs and articles about Wagner's works. Musical gestures were held to encode a particular emotional state and to reawaken that state in the listener, who would intuit the "meaning" of the gesture instinctively; within such an aesthetic, music was held to represent the essence of phenomenon, the "thing-in-itself."
This article attempts to provide an account of the dual foundations of this aesthetic paradigm in philosophy and science, as manifested by Arthur Schopenhauer's Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung and by Friedrich von Hausegger's Die Musik als Ausdruck respectively, and suggests that the resulting position – as articulated by Hans von Wolzogen and Curt Mey – is not only incompatible with but also incomparable to that of the formalists. The reconciliation of these two positions would not take place until the 1920s and 1930s with the work of Alfred Lorenz.
Interpretation out of Contradiction: A World of Music in the West Indies
Authors: Guilbault Jocelyne 
Published: August 2013

This paper addresses the researcher's double challenge: to acknowledge and situate contrasting experiences of the same phenomenon and yet to integrate them into a personal rendition of that phenomenon. An examination of the various strategies employed in ethnographic writing, from the copious use of quotations to dialogical or polyphonic writing, shows how contradictory viewpoints have been given more attention in ethnographic literature, as the politics of representation have developed into an important debate in the social sciences. While these various approaches have undeniably allowed more voices to be heard, they have nevertheless left unanswered the problem of interpretation in the case of contested appropriations or contradictory versions of the same phenomenon. The simple fact of integrating various voices in an ethnography does not indeed constitute in an by itself an explanation of what is being said and why.
This paper examines possible uses and treatments of diverging voices in ethnographic writing. By way of illustration, I emphasize the great complexity of the responses and interpretations generated by zouk, a mass-distributed popular music from the West Indies, by presenting contrasting voices and viewpoints from the islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Domenica, and Haiti. By doing so, I show, on the one hand, how each viewpoint can provide distinct types of knowledge. On the other hand, I argue that while there can be no analysis which can provide final answers to the questions raised by controversial phenomenon such as zouk, not all the points of view should be accorded the same importance.
Écriture tonale et perspectives nouvelles de l’harmonie fauréenne
Authors: Caron Sylvain 
Published: August 2013

Dans une analyse orientée vers des applications en écriture, l’auteur démontre comment Fauré intègre à la tonalité classique une conception nouvelle des fonctions harmoniques. Si la dominante conserve son rôle structurant en contexte cadentiel, la multiplication des dominantes défonctionnalisées rendent équivoques les progressions en cours de phrase. Comme autres procédés, on observe par endroits un usage « autonome » de la modalité, la séquence harmonique, l’harmonie des médiantes et un contrepoint qui prédomine de plus en plus sur l’harmonie; ces techniques viennent modifier considérablement, mais de l’intérieur, les caractéristiques du langage tonal. Au lieu de définir ces nouvelles caractéristiques par rapport à la tonalité, il est préférable de parler de nouvelles fonctions tonales. Celles-ci deviennent parties intégrantes du langage car elles conditionnent la structure harmonique globale.
La technique 5–6 comme modèle descriptif d’un aspect de l’élaboration du vocabulaire chromatique
Authors: Daigle Paulin 
Published: August 2013

L’article propose un modèle théorique pour la compréhension des répertoires romantique et postromantique : celui de la syncope consonante 5–6. Ce modèle se défend à la lumière, d’une part, des relations de fondamentales de tierce et, d’autre part, de l’élaboration du vocabulaire chromatique que ces répertoires comportent. Les exemples sont puisés aux œuvres de Debussy, Fauré, Liszt, Schoenberg, Richard Strauss et Wolf, parce qu’elles présentent une « idée de base » décrite par la technique 5–6, qui subit plusieurs transformations. De telles œuvres contribuent à affaiblir l’harmonie fonctionnelle et, surtout, à mettre en valeur l’accord de sixte ajoutée dans la fonction de tonique.
Entretien avec François Bayle
Authors: Julien Olivier 
Published: August 2013

Directeur du GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales) de 1966 à 1997, le compositeur François Bayle a été un témoin privilégié des mutations technologiques de ces 50 dernières années. Au cours de cet entretien, il revient sur sa rencontre avec Pierre Schaeffer et sur les débuts de la musique électroacoustique. Il évoque également les techniques et les principes qui sont le fondement de cette musique depuis 1958 tout en répondant à la question qui tourmente aujourd’hui de nombreux musicologues : est-il possible d’établir un parallèle entre la pratique des musiciens électroacoustiques et celle de certains musiciens populaires de la fin du XXe siècle?
Une nouvelle découverte à Montréal dans la bibliothèque musicale de Jean Girard : des œuvres vocales rares de Lebègue, de Bacilly et de Du Mont
Authors: Gallat-Morin Élisabeth 
Published: August 2013

Un recueil donné à la Bibliothèque nationale du Québec (Montréal) en 1993 porte les signatures de François Vachon de Belmont, supérieur des Sulpiciens de Montréal de 1701 à 1732, et de Jean Girard, à qui appartenait le Livre d’orgue de Montréal. Les quatre volumes renferment les Motets (1687) de M. Noël (pseudonyme de Lebègue), les Airs spirituels de « différents autheurs » (1697), édition « pirate » d’œuvres de Baccilly, et les Airs à quatre parties (1663) de Du Mont. Très rares, voire uniques, ces œuvres complètent la bibliothèque musicale de Jean Girard et ajoutent à notre connaissance du répertoire musical interprété à Ville-Marie au XVIIIe siècle.
L’ornementation de la musique française pour orgue de la première moitié du XVIIe siècle, d’après Titelouze, Mersenne et Denis
Authors: Brauer Vincent 
Published: August 2013

Compte tenu de l’état actuel de la recherche musicologique relative à l’ornementation de la musique française pour orgue de la première moitié du XVIIe siècle, cette étude apporte, par comparaison et synthèse de trois sources musicales et théoriques contemporaines de cette période, un certain nombre d’éclaircissements. Il faut notamment faire une distinction entre l’ornementation utilisée par les organistes du début et de la fin du XVIIe siècle en France : certains ornements seront abandonnés entre ces deux périodes, d’autres n’apparaîtront qu’à la fin du siècle. De plus, les différents ornements notés ou décrits dans ces trois sources que sont l’œuvre d’orgue de Titelouze, l’Harmonie universelle de Mersenne et le Traité de l’accord de l’espinette de Denis, sont suffisamment nombreux pour qu’il ait été jugé utile d’en établir une nomenclature qui représente un outil pratique pour l’interprète intéressé au répertoire pour orgue de cette période.
