The effect of mining water on phytobenthic assemblages in arunning water - Contribution to the water temperature regime inrivers

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

A key factor of the abiotic environment in rivers represents
the natural water temperature regime. Nowadays, this factor is
often changed by anthropogenic influence. Thermal modifications
were shown to have an effect on benthic microorganisms in
various laboratory studies. It is remarkable that although the
importance of temperature for the ecosystem in running waters
is undisputed, there is still a lack of detailed, systematic
temperature data especially in Central Europe. The main aims of
that study were to analyse a river influenced by mining water
in 4 representative sites (the first - mining thermal inflow of
Nedvedicka river, the second - under the inflow of river, the
third - up to the inflow of river and the fourth - r. km 11.8
of river Nedvedicka) with an artificially changed temperature
regime in detail, i.e. with emphasis on thermal variability,
and observe the effects on the development of benthic species
and to relate variation in the phytobentic assemblages to
temperature, to compare the significance of temperature with
other environmental factors, and to identify species related to
the thermal environment. The temperature of the two river-types
(mining thermal running water and Nedvedicka river) was
recorded daily for time periods between one and two years,
starting in 22. November 2007. The thermal characteristics of
the 4 sampling sites were analysed and discussed in detail.
Extreme and mean temperature parameters and temperature
variability were analysed with the focus on a characteristical
pattern for each type. Environmental conditions were assessed
and correlated with temperature parameters. Temperature
parameters shown to be of ecological significance for
phytobenthic microorganisms and were additionally assembled
from literature. The anthropogenic modifications of the
temperature regime, with the main focus on the differences in
thermal variability, were investigated in the Nedvedicka, a
river influenced by warm water originating from a decanting
plant outgoing from hydrometallurgy of uranium. Financial
support for this study was provided by the Funding of Ministry
of Education of Czech Republic project No. MSM0021622416.
Dynamics of Coupled Maps in Heterogeneous Random Networks

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We study expanding circle maps interacting in a heterogeneous random network. Heterogeneity means that some nodes in the network are massively connected, while the remaining nodes are only poorly connected. We provide a probabilistic approach which enables us to describe the effective dynamics of the massively connected nodes when taking a weak interaction limit. More precisely, we show that for almost every random network and almost all initial conditions the high dimensional network governing the dynamics of the massively connected nodes can be reduced to a few macroscopic equations. Such reduction is intimately related to the ergodic properties of the expanding maps. This reduction allows one to explore the coherent properties of the network.

Does CSR Branding Matter to the Young Consumers in Thailand: The Mediation Effect of Product Brand Attitudes

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study investigates the research in two-folds including; the relationship between CSR branding and product brand attitudes, and the mediation effect of product brand attitudes on the relationship of CSR branding and purchase intention. The research was conducted on the 220 young Thai consumers asking about a single well-known product. The statistical analysis used for hypothesis testing was multiple regression with the mediation testing included. The finding suggests that only employee concern and financial fairness dimensions of CSR branding influenced both utilitarian and hedonic product brand attitudes, while there is no evidence shown for environmental awareness and community commitment dimension. In the light of product brand attitudes, the research found its role is fully mediating the relationship of CSR branding and purchase intention.
Vinyl Polymerization by Metal Complexes. XXIII. UV and Kinetic Studies on the Photopolymerization with Iron(III)-Amine-Carbon Tetrachloride Systems

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In order to elucidate the initiation reaction of the photopolymerization with iron(III)-amine-carbon tetrachloride systems, the photochemical reaction process among iron(III), amine, and carbon tetrachloride in methanol solution was followed at 0°C by UV spectroscopy as for iron(III) ion. The rate constants of both the reduction of iron (III) under irradiation with light and the oxidation of iron(II) in the dark were measured, and were related to the rates of photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate. Kinetic study on the photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate with iron(III)-triethylenetetramine-carbon tetrachloride system was made in parallel in methanol solution at 0°C. The initiation mechanism of the photopolymerization was postulated.
Implementation of Twenty seven level and Fifty one level Inverter using constant voltage sources

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A inverter to produce more output voltage levels using constant voltage sources fed to a resistive-inductive load is presented. Cascaded multilevel inverter structure is modeled and studied for various levels of voltages by implementing proper turn on and turn off states. Simulation for fifty one level inverter design structure is carried out using MATrix LABoratory and percentage of harmonic content in the load voltage is examined. Further, real time development of twenty seven level cascaded inverter structures is implemented and the results are obtained using digital storage oscilloscope. A 15V, 500mA transformers are used to step down the voltage from 230V to 15V and further rectifiers are used to convert AC to DC voltage and used as source for multilevel inverter structure and field programmable gated array.
LES of turbulent heat transfer in Couette channel flow using dynamic SGS models

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The present paper documents a Large Eddy Simulation of thermal transport in turbulent Couette flow with a constant wall temperature difference. A local formulation of a dynamic eddy viscosity model is used to model the subgrid-scale (SGS) stress, while the SGS heat flux is calculated two ways: • using the dynamic eddy viscosity and a constant SGS Prandtl number • using a second dynamic formulation for the SGS Prandtl number. Both simulations capture important features of the temperature field, although some small differences exist. Implementation of the dynamic SGS Prandtl number in a local formulation required extreme levels of clipping to ensure numerical stability.
Ultrasound imaging of the lower urinary tract and uterovaginal prolapse

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Ultrasound has the advantage of being able to visualise fluid-filled structures without the need for contrast medium. It can demonstrate soft tissue structures such as the kidney, bladder wall, urethral and anal sphincters and surrounding pelvic floor musculature. Use of the transabdominal, transvaginal, transrectal and transperineal approaches for ultrasound scanning allows for easy visualisation of different aspects of the lower urinary tract. Bladder diverticula are easily visualised with transabdominal ultrasound. Transvaginal ultrasound allows clearer visualisation of the bladder base, bladder neck, inferior border of the pubic symphysis and periurethral structures. Translabial ultrasound is used to demonstrate uterovaginal prolapse. Three-dimensional ultrasound offers new insights into the pelvic floor as it allows imaging of both the levator ani muscle hiatus and paravaginal support structures in axial and transverse planes. This gives access to transverse planes similar to magnetic resonance imaging.
Residual stress relaxation in shot peened high strength low alloy steel

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The relaxation of residual stress in a shot peened high strength low alloy steel in response to applied loads has been investigated for both single shot and cyclic loading. The near surface residual stress was measured predominantly by X-ray diffraction (first 10 μm) but supplemented for some conditions by measurements using high resolution, fine increment hole drilling to yield depth profiling. The compressive residual stress showed a peak at ∼50 μm below the surface. Under single shot compressive loading, relaxation became significant when the combined surface and applied compressive stresses exceeded the proportional limit of the unpeened surface. The steel showed good resistance to residual stress relaxation under cyclic loading conditions, with only a 13% decrease despite cyclic load amplitudes at 50% of the 0˙2% proof stress in compression. Significant relaxation did occur at applied stress amplitudes of ∼80% of the 0˙2% proof stress in compression. While large single shot or cyclic stresses would represent rare occurrences, they could lead to a marked loss in beneficial compressive stress and should be accounted for in structural integrity assessment.
The pragmatic understanding of subject expression in spoken Korean

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Whereas there are a number of studies that address subject omission in Korean as a pro-drop language, expressed subjects have been less explored. I argue that the reasons for expressed subjects to remain un-omitted are found in their pragmatic effects rather than elsewhere. This study particularly investigates the pragmatic effects of the alternation among reference forms for the expressed subject in spoken Korean and uses three different spoken corpora to identify specific examples of the relevant effects. I believe that this study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it shows that shifts among different reference forms play a crucial role in conveying specific pragmatic effects. In particular, I have categorised the pragmatic effects of expressed subjects into two categories, (im)politeness and authority, and intimacy and estrangement, by the characteristics of interpersonal behaviours.
Performing Shakespearean Appropriations

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Performing Shakespearean Appropriations explores the production and consumption of Shakespeare in acts of adaptation and appropriation across time periods and through a range of performance topics. The ten essays, moving from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century, address uses of Shakespeare in the novel, television, cinema, and digital media. Drawing on Christy Desmet's work, several contributors figure appropriation as a posthumanist enterprise that engages with electronic Shakespeare by dismantling, reassembling, and recreating Shakespearean texts in and for digital platforms. The collection thus looks at media and performance technologies diachronically in its focus on Shakespeare’s afterlives. Contributors also construe the notion of “performance” broadly to include performances of selves, of communities, of agencies, and of authenticity—either Shakespeare’s, or the user’s, or both. The essays examine both specific performances and larger trends across media, and they consider a full range of modes: from formal and professional to casual and amateur; from the fixed and traditional to the ephemeral, the itinerant, and the irreverent.

EP15.14: Accuracy of different sonographic formulas for fetal weight estimation at term

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Accurate calculation of the expected fetal weight at term is important for the adequate delivery planning. Different formulas for sonographic estimation of fetal weight (EFW) have been developed, but no of them specifically for the Bulgarian population and so far it has been unclear which of the available formulas fit best for different ranges of fetal weight. Aim of the study: to compare the accuracy of four formulas for sonographic EFW in term fetuses and to identify the most accurate one for the Bulgarian population. A prospective study of 70 singleton term fetuses in cephalic presentation was carried out. Ultrasound measurements were performed before the onset of labour but within 7 days before delivery. The accuracy of the formulas of Shepard (S), Hadlock 2 (H2), Hadlock 4 (H4) and Merz (M) was assessed for the entire group studied and for three weight intervals: 1) 2500 – 2999 g; 2) 3000 – 3999 g and 3) >4000 g. The deviation of the sonographically EFW from the real birthweight (BW) expressed in % was compared for the formula tested. Twenty babies had BW between 2500 and 2999 g, 43 - between 3000 and 3999 g and 7 - >4000 g. The deviation between the sonographically EFW and the real BW for the different formulas for the entire group was 32% for Shepard, 19% - for Hadlock 2, 28% - for Hadlock 4 and 10% - for Merz. For the weight interval 2500–2999 g, the deviations were 27% (S), 11% (H2), 11.5% (H4) and 11% (M) respectively. For the weight interval 3000 – 3999 g the deviations were 24% (S), 23% (H2), 32% (H4) and 9% (M) and for BW >4000 g - 40.5% (S), 6% (H2, 15% (H4) and 5% (M) respectively. For the Bulgarian population Merz formula was the most accurate one both for the entire group studied and for the three subgroups for sonographic EFW – 2500–2999 g, 3000–3999 g and >4000 g. The formula that ranked second in accuracy was Hadlock 2. Formulas that included fewer parameters were superior in the correct sonographic prediction of EFW of term infants.
Building life cycle analysis : incorporating human factors

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Life cycle analysis for building sustainability assessment usually focuses on environmental and economic impacts of the building, but very rarely takes into account social impacts on the building occupants, especially during the operational stage. In this project, human factors are incorporated into life cycle analysis of buildings using a case study of two tutorial rooms in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Specifically, the study focuses on investigating the impacts of indoor air quality on wellbeing and performance of building occupants, and incorporates the results into social life cycle analysis of the building. Experiments were conducted with major indoor air elements, such as thermal comfort and CO2 concentration monitored closely as independent variables in the operational phase of building life cycle. The impacts of indoor air quality were then investigated by assigning subjective feeling questionnaires and behavioral tasks on 39 students to quantify wellbeing and performance. The measured indicators were Building Symptoms Index, number of days of sick leave, cost of sick leave, average scores, and rate of return of education. Finally, human impacts were compared against environmental impacts by also monitoring the energy consumption of the tutorial room. Based on the interpretation of results, setting an adequate indoor air quality as well as choosing the most suitable air conditioning system can have a significant impact on building occupants’ wellbeing and performance. It is shown that increasing energy consumption slightly by about 15% to modify the original design and create a better indoor air quality improves occupants’ wellbeing and performance almost dramatically, i.e. more than halving the number of days of sick leave and increasing the rate of return of education by more than 15%. Such simple decision and implementation have to be made with thorough evaluation to ensure a comfortable and conducive place for building occupants, as well as sustainability of the built environment.

A new two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) model for evaluating the branch performance of banks

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework for evaluating the overall performance of bank branches in terms of profitability efficiency and effectiveness by means of a two stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. DEA is a linear programming problem approach for evaluating efficiency of decision making units (DMU) that have multiple inputs and outputs. In this paper, we use a two stage DEA model for efficiency evaluation of DMUs. In the two stage model all the outputs from the first stage are the only inputs to the second stage, in addition to the inputs to the first stage and the outputs from the second stage. The outputs from the first stage to the second stage are called intermediate measures. Many papers have regressed non parametric estimate of efficiency in the two stage DEA procedure. All of these studies have several problems in the benchmark or projection unit and present the DMU with relative efficiency. Most of these papers do not present an efficient benchmark unit and cannot evaluate the relative efficiency unit. In this paper we review these studies and then create a two stage model that does not have these problems. Our model presents the efficient benchmark unit and also presents DMU with relative efficiency. In the next step we apply our two stage model in bank branches of a large commercial bank in Iran. This study aggregates profitability efficiency and effectiveness into the overall performance. Some relations between profitability efficiency and effectiveness are very important. Without these relations we cannot obtain superior insight about overall performance. So we assume that profitability efficiency and effectiveness are dependent, and with this assumption we design a two stage DEA model. This study shows the importance of profitability efficiency and effectiveness in the overall performance in bank branches in Iran.

Key words: Banking, process efficiency, organizational effectiveness, data envelopment analysis (DEA), banks, banks performance.

Dissociating Valuation and Saliency Signals during Decision-Making

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

There is a growing consensus that the brain computes value and saliency-like signals at the time of decision-making. Value signals are essential for making choices. Saliency signals are related to motivation, attention, and arousal. Unfortunately, an unequivocal characterization of the areas involved in these 2 distinct sets of processes is made difficult by the fact that, in most experiments, both types of signals are highly correlated. We dissociated value and saliency signals using a novel human functional magnetic resonance imaging decision-making task. Activity in the medial orbitofrontal, rostral anterior cingulate, and posterior cingulate cortices was modulated by value but not saliency. The opposite was true for dorsal anterior cingulate, supplementary motor area, insula, and the precentral and fusiform gyri. Only the ventral striatum and the cuneus were modulated by both value and saliency.
