Quasi-subtractive varieties
Authors: Kowalski Tomasz , Paoli Francesco , Spinks Matthew 
Published: October 2011

AbstractVarieties like groups, rings, or Boolean algebras have the property that, in any of their members, the lattice of congruences is isomorphic to a lattice of more manageable objects, for example normal subgroups of groups, two-sided ideals of rings, filters (or ideals) of Boolean algebras. Abstract algebraic logic can explain these phenomena at a rather satisfactory level of generality: in every memberAof aτ-regular varietythe lattice of congruences ofAis isomorphic to the lattice of deductive filters onAof theτ-assertional logic of. Moreover, ifhas a constant 1 in its type and is 1-subtractive, the deductive filters onA∈of the 1-assertional logic ofcoincide with the-ideals ofAin the sense of Gumm and Ursini, for which we have a manageable concept of ideal generation.However, there are isomorphism theorems, for example, in the theories of residuated lattices, pseudointerior algebras and quasi-MV algebras that cannot be subsumed by these general results. The aim of the present paper is to appropriately generalise the concepts of subtractivity andτ-regularity in such a way as to shed some light on the deep reason behind such theorems. The tools and concepts we develop hereby provide a common umbrella for the algebraic investigation of several families of logics, including substructural logics, modal logics, quantum logics, and logics of constructive mathematics.
Limits on jump inversion for strong reducibilities
Authors: Csima Barbara F. , Downey Rod , Ng Keng Meng 
Published: October 2011

AbstractWe show that Sacks' and Shoenfield's analogs of jump inversion fail for both tt- and wtt-reducibilities in a strong way. In particular we show that there is a δ20 set B >tt ∅′ such that there is no c.e. set A with A′ ≡wttB. We also show that there is a Σ20 set C >tt ∅′ such that there is no δ20 set D with D′ ≡wttC.
The additive group of the rationals does not have an automatic presentation
Authors: Tsankov Todor 
Published: October 2011

AbstractWe prove that the additive group of the rationals does not have an automatic presentation. The proof also applies to certain other abelian groups, for example, torsion-free groups that are p-divisible for infinitely many primes p, or groups of the form ⊕pϵIZ(p∞), where I is an infinite set of primes.
Strong isomorphism reductions in complexity theory
Authors: Buss Sam , Chen Yijia , Flum Jörg , Friedman Sy-David , Müller Moritz 
Published: October 2011

AbstractWe give the first systematic study of strong isomorphism reductions, a notion of reduction more appropriate than polynomial time reduction when, for example, comparing the computational complexity of the isomorphim problem for different classes of structures. We show that the partial ordering of its degrees is quite rich. We analyze its relationship to a further type of reduction between classes of structures based on purely comparing for every n the number of nonisomorphic structures of cardinality at most n in both classes. Furthermore, in a more general setting we address the question of the existence of a maximal element in the partial ordering of the degrees.

Biodiversity of Thrips Species (Thysanoptera) on Flowering Herbs in Cracow, PolandThrips specimens were collected from 2004 to 2006 from the Herb Collection of the Faculty of Horticulture, the Agricultural University in Cracow, Poland and from 2006 to 2008 from the Botanical Garden in Cracow, Poland. We collected 16,058 adult thrips belonging to 22 Thysanoptera taxa from the flowers and inflorescences of 37 species of herbs from both of the collections. Thrips species composition infesting the flowers and inflorescences of herbs were very similar and not dependent on the plant species and the area of research. Only the participation of particular species differed. The prevailing polyphagous species connected with flowers were:Thrips fuscipennis, Thrips flavus, Frankliniella intonsa, Thrips albopilosusandThrips major. Also, a high number ofThrips tabaciand random species connected with grass as well as predatory speciesAeolothripswere found. The flowers ofSalvia officinalis, Lavandula angustifolia, Nepeta catariaandArnica montanawere the most numerously infested by adult thrips.

Toxicity of Neonicotinoids toCeratitis CapitataandAnastrepha Fraterculus(Diptera: Tephritidae)The effects of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam againstCeratitis capitata(Wiedemann) andAnastrepha fraterculus(Wiedemann) adults were evaluated under broadcast spray and toxic bait systems in the laboratory. In general, whenC. capitataandA. fraterculuswere sprayed with insecticides, the time required for killing them was inversely proportional to the neonicotinoid concentrations. By cover spray, females and males ofA. fraterculuswere more susceptible to imidacloprid and thiamethoxam thanC. capitata, presenting significantly lower LT50. In the case of imidacloprid bait, no differences at LT50were detected between females or males of both fruit flies or between sexes of respective fruit fly species. In general,C. capitataandA. fraterculusadults died in all the toxic baits up to 7 days after application on citrus leaves in the field. The data emphasize the viability of the use of neonicotinoids for the control of fruit flies.

Analogue aerial-photopraphs external orientation reconstruction based on geoportal data
For acquisition of source data for geoinformation analyses is necessary to do some field works. This way of data acquisition is time-consuming. In this case, photogrammetric and remote sensed methods can be more effective choice. Especially orthophotomap extracting is more effective process in creation of geodata. It is good foundation for further analysis and nice extension of existing geographical information systems. Despite fast growth of photogrammetry there are plenty of analogue, archival airphotos which can be used for geoinformation analysis. They are quiet up to date and scanned in very high resolution which means they can be used for really reliable analysis. The problem is very important because many of analogue, archival air photos do not contain photogrammetric warp. The aim of this paper is expression of applicability of geoportal webpage, which is part of INSPIRE directive, that can be used for external orientation reconstruction when there is no other georeference data.

New data on the Chironomidae (Diptera) of the Rif (Northern Morocco)
New collections of pupal exuviae of chironomids in various fresh water ecosystems in the Rif in the north of Morocco revealed an interesting inventory. The chironomid community collected is diverse enough and interesting, and rare species are present. Of a total of 141 identified taxa, 46 species have proved to be new for the Rif and 31 for Morocco. The chorological tendency is mainly Palaearctic and Mediterranean. The majority of the sites investigated belong to protected areas in the north of Morocco, such as SIBE Jbel Moussa, SIBE Jbel Tidirrhine, SIBE Jbel Bouhachem and Talassemtane National Park, which belong to the Intercontinental Reserve of the Mediterranean Biosphere.
Assessing predictors of pellet persistence in European rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculus: towards reliable population estimates from pellet counts

Published: October 2011

AbstractThe European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus is a key species in Mediterranean ecosystems of the Iberian Peninsula, and reliable methods for monitoring its abundance are urgently required. Although clearance plot pellet counts may be useful in monitoring rabbit populations, such counts are potentially affected by variation in the persistence of rabbit pellets. The aim of our study was to assess persistence of rabbit pellets in the Iberian Peninsula for reliable estimates of rabbit abundance from clearance plot counts. We carried out the experiment from July 2006 to November 2007 at seven localities in central southern Spain. Marked fresh pellets were monthly placed at experimental plots, and their persistence was monitored monthly. Persistence was estimated from the proportion of marked pellets remaining between consecutive counts. Independent variables in analysis included slope steepness, vegetation, rabbit and ungulate activity, meteorology and temporal variables. Persistence significantly varied among localities and seasons and with their interaction. The final model showed that pellet persistence was best explained by total rainfall between counts, and also included the time between visits and slope steepness and the interactions rainfall∗time between visits and rainfall∗slope. Our results suggest that estimating pellet persistence for each locality and season is necessary to make estimates obtained from different localities and months comparable. In the Mediterranean region, early summer at the start of the dry season would be the recommended time for yearly rabbit monitoring based on any pellet‐count index, since reduced rainfall favours pellet persistence. Sampling protocols must standardise the number of days between counts, and plots must be established in areas with gentle slope to maximise pellet persistence between counts.
Beyond Welfarist Morality: An Abolitionist Reply to Fetissenko
Authors: Svärd Per-Anders 
Published: October 2011

Abstract
Maxim Fetissenko (2011) argues that the animal rights movement needs a new rhetorical strategy focusing on human health benefits and environmental preservation rather than on moral argumentation. Against this, I claim that the movement has not overused but rather has downplayed moral argumentation. Instead of promoting its real agenda, the movement has often diminished the issue of animal oppression and implicated itself in the reproduction of speciesism. If our goal is to abolish speciesist oppression, we should work consistently to make alternative identities and values available to people rather than opting for illusory shortcuts that do not disturb the speciesist social order.

AbstractAlternative Brennstoffe können Regelbrennstoffe direkt, z. B. bei dem Einsatz in Kohlekraftwerken, und indirekt, z. B. durch eine thermochemische Konversion zur Erzeugung von gasförmigen und flüssigen Brenn‐, Kraft‐ und Chemierohstoffen, ersetzen. Die Bandbreite alternativer Brennstoffe reicht dabei von unbehandelten biogenen Stoffen über biogene Reststoffe bis hin zu Stoffen, die einen mehr oder weniger großen biogenen Anteil haben. Zu den CO2‐Reduktionszielen und der geplanten Energiewende der deutschen Bundesregierung leistet die effiziente energetische Nutzung dieser alternativen Brennstoffe einen wesentlichen Beitrag. Ausgehend von der Brennstoffcharakterisierung werden prozesstechnische Anforderungen und die Effizienz verschiedener Verfahrensketten zur energetischen Nutzung alternativer Brennstoffe betrachtet.
“Cannonballs” and psammoma bodies: Unusual cytologic features of metastatic pulmonary small‐cell carcinoma in a pleural effusion
Authors: Conway Andrea B. , Hart Melissa K. , Jessurun Jose , Pambuccian Stefan E. 
Published: October 2011

AbstractLarge three‐dimensional cell aggregates and psammoma bodies are usually encountered in benign serous effusions (mesothelial hyperplasia and endosalpingiosis), mesotheliomas, and metastatic papillary carcinomas. We report a case of pulmonary small‐cell carcinoma occurring in an 88‐year‐old woman that initially presented with a malignant pleural effusion characterized cytologically by a predominance of large three‐dimensional neoplastic cell aggregates (“cannonballs”), associated with rare psammoma bodies. Although the crowded three‐dimensional tumor‐cell aggregates did not allow detailed cytologic examination, the diagnosis of metastatic small‐cell carcinoma could be established noting the characteristic chromatin features of the occasional single neoplastic cells and the characteristic “cell‐in‐cell” and “stack‐of‐coins” arrangements of rare small clusters of neoplastic cells. Immunoperoxidase stains showing positivity of the tumor cells for CD56, synaptophysin, and TTF1 further supported this diagnosis. Endobronchial ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration of a mediastinal lymph node subsequently confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary small‐cell carcinoma. Metastatic pulmonary small‐cell carcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of serous effusions showing large three‐dimensional neoplastic cell aggregates and psammoma bodies to prevent a potential diagnostic pitfall.

When disaster hits, where does the standard of care go?
Authors: Cushman, Esq. Dawn 
Published: October 2011

AbstractOn July 22, 2011, it was reported in the news that a $25 million‐dollar settlement was reached in a class‐action lawsuit alleging that Memorial Medical Center in Louisiana failed to adequately prepare for the devastating catastrophe known as Hurricane Katrina. This magnitude of a claim raises serious questions regarding the viability of lawsuits and the lack of immunity available to hospital facilities, physicians, nurses and other healthcare providers for the provision of emergency aid during national disasters. This article is intended to address one aspect of the legal issues facing healthcare providers and to analyze the standard of care by which facilities and individual providers may be judged, measured and assessed following national disasters.
Proteinuria is associated with elevated tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity in children with sickle cell disease
Authors: Forrest Suzanne , Kim Ashley , Carbonella Judith , Pashankar Farzana 
Published: October 2011

AbstractBackgroundSickle cell disease (SCD) affects multiple organ systems. Complications of SCD such as pulmonary hypertension (PHT) and sickle cell nephropathy (SCN) are associated with an increased mortality. Both PHT and SCN have some common risk factors. In adults, PHT has been found to be associated with albuminuria, a manifestation of SCN. There is no data on this association in children. We conducted a study to determine if elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressures estimated on echocardiogram was associated with proteinuria in children with SCD.MethodsA detailed retrospective chart review was conducted on a cohort of sickle cell patients screened with echocardiograms from June 2005 to July 2010. Patients who had an initial screening echocardiogram and urine analysis within 1 year were included. Longitudinal data from all subsequent echocardiograms and urine analyses were collected.ResultsEighty‐five patients were included. On initial echocardiograms 32.9% had an elevated tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity (TRV) ≥2.5 m/second. On follow up, in the 28 patients with elevated TRV, 49.27% of all repeat echocardiograms showed persistent elevation. In the 57 patients with normal baseline TRV, 73.6% of all repeat echocardiograms continued to have normal TRV. On initial screening 7.14% of patients with elevated TRV had proteinuria compared to 1.75% without elevated TRV. On follow up, 19.08% of repeat urinalysis had proteinuria in patients with elevated baseline TRV compared to 12.35% in patients with normal baseline TRV (P = 0.04).ConclusionsElevated TRV ≥ 2.5 m/second is significantly associated with proteinuria on longitudinal follow up in children with SCD.

Analytic treatment of the distributed resistance of the window layer in solar cells with parallel grids
Authors: Lee Kyu‐Seok 
Published: October 2011

ABSTRACTA formalism is presented to understand the effect of distributed resistance of the window layer on the current–voltage characteristics of solar cells with parallel grids. Along the window/active‐layer interface, the current density and the electric potential are calculated iteratively from the current density–voltage relation and the Laplace equation, respectively. The former property is approximated in a series expansion of sinusoidal functions, which leads to an analytic solution to the electric potential in the window layer. The total current and the average current density are derived in analytic forms. A few calculated results are presented to show the influence of the distributed resistance of the window layer on the device performance. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Some thoughts on the care needs of demented patients. Part III
Authors: Spagnoli Alberto , Cocco Ennio 
Published: October 2011

RiassuntoScopo - Data la mancanza di una tradizione e di studi o riflessioni sistematiche sul problema dell'assistenza ai pazienti dementi, ed in considerazione delle numerose esperienze avviate anche in Italia per esplorare modi innovativi di assistenza agli anziani affetti da demenza, abbiamo ritenuto interessante formulare alcune riflessioni sull'argomento. Il vero obiettivo di queste riflessioni è in realtà quello di iniziare, e sollecitare, un discorso sulla valutazione dei servizi psicogeriatrici. Metodo - È stata condotta una ricerca su MEDLINE a partire dal 1980, utilizzando le parole chiave qui riportate. Data la necessità di affrontare (o, se non altro, elencare) un ampio spettro di argomenti, che va dal ruolo giocato dalla distribuzione degli spazi interni nelle istituzioni, agli aspetti relazionali o agli psicofarmaci, abbiamo integrato la ricerca bibliografica attingendo da altre fonti molto diversificate. Risultati e conclusioni - La riflessione sui bisogni assistenziali degli anziani dementi suggerisce prima di tutto la necessità di impiegare il metodo epidemiologico anche per la descrizione e la valutazione dei servizi, e degli «stili assistenziali», dove il termine assistenza è da intendersi nell'accezione più comprensiva di health care. In secondo luogo, emerge l'importanza degli aspetti relazionali, di accoglimento e, per i pazienti istituzionalizzati, della distribuzione degli spazi interni e, ancora, la necessità che argomenti tanto (apparentemente) disparati trovino sintesi ed ospitalità in riviste lette da chi si occupa di assistenza. Infine, è evidente che la preziosa cultura anti-istituzionale prodotta dalla psichiatria sociale richiede, in psicogeriatria, una revisione che individui i punti di adesione e di distanza da strategic fondate sull'affermazione delFautonomia del paziente (vs la dignità della disabilità), sul suo coinvolgimento in una vita più attiva (vs il «rispetto dell'apatia») e sul suo recupero alia vita sociale (vs nuove forme di equilibrio tra stimolazione e protezione).

SUMMARYObjective – Satisfaction's measurement with Mental Health Services in patients and their relatives. Design – Satisfaction scale administration to the patients who were treated in community-based psychiatric service from 1.1.1996 to 31.3.1996 and the relatives who were primarily involved in caring for the patient. Setting – The ASL Rome «C» community-based psychiatric service. Main outcome measures – Verona Service Satisfaction Scale-54, a multidimensional instrument which measure satisfaction with community-based psychiatric service. Results – Main results (301 scales for patients, 163 scales for relatives), pointed out for patients a higher satisfaction for the technical and interpersonal skills of psychiatrists and psychologists (score of specific items >4). Lowest scores of satisfaction were towards the appearance, comfort level and physical layout of the facility (score 2.95) and towards the response of the service to emergencies during the night, weekend and Bank Holidays (score 2.87). Relatives were not particulary keen for the item regarding help to find open employement (score 2.76). Furthermore patients and their relatives gave a negative evaluation of the publicity and information offered by Mental Health Services. Dimensions's analysis reachs the same conclusions deduced items's average score. The result of this study emphasizes the patients higher degree of satisfaction than the relatives. Conclusions – The above results point out three aspects to be improved by the Menthal Health Service in order to satisfy the demands of the patients and relatives: 1. appearance, comfort level and physical layout of the facility, 2. publicity and information, 3. social actives and social skills.
