Storing Data in the Trial of Complex Technical Products

The article considers the ways of organization of databases for the storage of the results obtained during testing. A new variant of the organization of the data to ensure the ability to write to the database different sets of parameters in the form of chronological series. The required set of parameters depends on the modification of the tested technical installation.

Die Notwendigkeit von Unterstützungsangeboten für Geschwister von chronisch kranken und/ oder behinderten Kindern : eine retrospektive Einschätzung der Betroffenen

Introduction: It is a big challenge that devolopes in a family with the birth ofdisabled or handycapped child. The siblings of the disabled or handicapped child aredealt with issues like sufferings, sickness, weakness and even death. Furthermorethey have to take part in assisting and care of the disabled or challenged child. Theexperience they make as they grow up with a disabled or handycapped sibling is aburden more than a challenge lies on the support service options they are entitled.The choices are from the representatives of social organisations to professional help.Aim of this work is to analyse the necessity of support services for the siblings of thedisabled or handycapped child. To achieve this, a retrospective analysis of the peoplewho were affected by such a situation is necessary.Material and Methods: Structured, guidelined, problem centered personnalinterviews with affected siblings. The method was chosen against the background ofadequate affected siblings with necessary informations, knowledge and experience.Nine interviewees were selected and requested for cooperation per e-mail. FourInterviews were done personnally and five through telephone.Result: All the interviewees had disabled or handicapped or diseased siblings. Someof the interviewees knew there was something not in order with thier sibling beforethier preschool age. Some of them noticed thier siblings as "different" through theinteractions with other schoolmates. All the interviewees except the ones who werementally challenged siblings were well informed by their parents about the situation.The limitations of the siblings were very complex. The interviewees had a lot oflimitations and obligations for themselves because of the disability of their siblings.All but one of the interviewees could atleast think of one nice experience with thiermentally or physically challenged sibling. There was also negative experiences withanxiety, anger and rag

Complex mating behavior in Adelosgryllus rubricephalus (Orthoptera, Phalangopsidae, Grylloidea)

We describe the mating behavior of Adelosgryllus rubricephalus Mesa & Zefa, 2004. In trials carried out in laboratory we verified the following mating sequence: (1) sexual recognition by antennation; (2) courtship with male turning his abdomen towards the female, performing mediolateral antennae vibration, jerking its body antero-posteriorly and stridulating intermittently, while receptive female drums on the male's abdomen tip, cerci and hind-tibia with her palpi or foretarsi; the male then stops and stays motionless for some seconds, extrudes the spermatophore and both restart the behavioral sequence described above; (3) copulation: male underneath female; with his tegmina inclined forward, and joins his genitalia to the female's to promote sperm transference ; the female steps off the male, occurring a brief end-to-end position; (4) postcopulation: without guarding behavior; male retains the spermatophore and eats it. We quantified elapsed time of each behavioral sequence and discussed its implications in the observed mating behavior.

Condition factor of Goniopsis cruentata (Crustacea, Brachyura, Grapsidae) from Mundaú/Manguaba estuarine complex, Alagoas, Brazil

The condition factor is a parameter which acts as a general indicator of the "well-being" of a species, and it can be obtained through the analysis of width vs. weight relationships. The present work aims to investigate size vs. weight relationship and the condition factor of the crab Goniopsis cruentata (Latreille, 1803). The study area was the Mundaú/Manguaba estuarine complex, Maceió, state of Alagoas, Northeast Brazil. Samplings were monthly accomplished from August 2007 to July 2008. A total of 626 individuals were analyzed, being 309 males and 317 females. Males were larger and heavier than females, what is expected in many brachyuran. The growth was positive allometric to both males (b = 3.42) and females (b = 3.30), not obeying the "cube law". The condition factor of female was higher than that of male crabs, probably due to the gonad weight of females. It also varied seasonally for both sexes, being higher in the autumn and winter in males, and in the autumn and spring in females, and related to the molt and period of spawning intensification.

Efficiency and environmental regulation: a 'complex situation'

Production of desirable outputs is often accompanied by undesirable by products that have damaging effects on the environment, and whose disposal is frequently regulated by public authorities. In this paper, we compute directional technology distance functions under particular assumptions concerning disposability of bads in order to test for the existence of what we call ‘complex situations’, where the biggest producer is not the greatest polluter. Furthermore, we show that how in such situations, environmental regulation could achieve an effective reduction in the aggregate level of bad outputs without reducing the production of good outputs. Finally, we illustrate our methodology with an empirical application to a sample of Spanish tile ceramic producers.
