Abstract:
SEM users are familiar with two forms of contrast in SEM images: topographic contrast and atomic number contrast. We can now add a third form of contrast. Contrast can arise due to the different orientation of grains in the sample. However, in normal operation this con trast is very weak, since in the SEM the beam includes a range of incident angles. This has the effect of averaging out diffraction contrast from the different orientations of the grains. This contrast is generally much stronger when the trast is very weak, since in the SEM the beam includes a range of incident angles. This has the effect of averaging out diffraction contrast from the different orientations of the grains. This contrast is generally much stronger when the incident beam is an ion beam rather than an electron beam — contrast between the grains is strong in ion-beam images but not in normal SEM images.

Abstract:
This study investigates the differences in the perceived approaches to productivity improvement between domestic-owned and Western-owned companies in Singapore. Although the differences found in the scores are small, which may imply support for the culture-free thesis, analysis of the pattern of significant correlations between the two samples suggests otherwise. There is a sharp con trast in the pattern of significant interrelationships.

Abstract:
From the prospective of the theory of chaos and self-organization it is necessary to define a finite quasi-attractor and move into the area of phase space where it is located. Not each motion is evolution, since evolu-tion means shifting center of quasi-attractors. The participation of each element of the system is necessary, otherwise the evolution will not. In the human body there are organs that are guidelines and may stop the evolu-tion of the organism (in the form of aging) or delay fatal, although death teleologically for us is defined in con-trast to the society.

Abstract:
Peculiarities of pathogene sis of Helicobacter pylori (HP)-associated gastric ulcer (GU) in Khakas se s are investigated. It is found that, in con - trast to Caucasian s, the activation of the Т-cell and humoral parts of the immune response in Mongoloids with GU is accompanied by the high con - tent of CD4 +- and CD20 +-lympho cytes in the muscou s coat of stomach. Changes revealed in the peripheral blood in GU patients were character - ized by a decrease in the magnitude of CD4 +- and CD8 +-lympho cyte subpopulations compared to patients with chronic gastritis. The detected pos - itive correlation between the АА-251 genotype of interleukin-8 and the risk of GU development in Khakssses indicated in favor of the existence of immuno-genetic regularities of GU development. The reasonability of determining population risk and protective genotypes of development of HРassociated GU in Khakasses is discussed.

Abstract:
This paper examines how Danish Headquarters (HQ) use different global integration modes to integrate one business function, i.e., the accounting function, of their Estonian subsidiaries. The study analyses the use of four specific integration modes: people, information, formalization, and centralization. 14 HQs in Denmark with corresponding Estonian subsidiaries were addressed with questionnaires eliciting their integration mode strate- gies. Prior to the HQ survey, the accounting functions in the corresponding subsidiaries had been interviewed regarding integration modes with the Danish HQ. The structure of accounting activities calls for the use of the formalization-based mode and the information-based mode, and therefore these modes were expected to be prevailing. The findings were consistent with our expectations, but also the centralization-based mode was extensively used. The people-based integration mode was not used extensively, but more than expected. Finally, coordination of the accounting function is not an emphasis of the HQ’s. Control but not coordination is in con- trast to earlier theory and findings on the relationships between HQs and their subsidiaries.

Abstract:
The availability of efficient and reliable simulation tools is one of the mission-critical technologies in the fast-moving field of computational neuroscience. Research indicates that higher brain functions emerge from large and complex cortical networks and their interactions. The large number of elements (neurons) combined with the high connectivity (synapses) of the biological network and the specific type of interactions impose severe constraints on the explorable system size that previously have been hard to overcome. Here we present a collection of new techniques combined to a coherent simulation tool removing the fundamental obstacle in the computational study of biological neural networks: the enormous number of synaptic contacts per neuron. Distributing an individual simulation over multiple computers enables the investigation of networks orders of magnitude larger than previously possible. The software scales excellently on a wide range of tested hardware, so it can be used in an interactive and iterative fashion for the development of ideas, and results can be produced quickly even for very large networks. In con-trast to earlier approaches, a wide class of neuron models and synaptic dynamics can be represented.

Abstract:
Clinical assays for factor XII determination are based on measurements of coagulation time in a mul tifactorial assay requiring the availability of factor XII deficient plasma, and the determination is affected by the presence of heparin. Another way of determining the amount of functionally active factor XII in plasma is to measure the amidolytic activity of factor XIIa in a chro mogenic assay. We describe such an assay, which in con trast to previously described chromogenic assays, is in dependent of the presence of prekallikrein. To prevent kallikrein from interfering with the assay, soy bean trypsin inhibitor was added to the plasma. Factor XII was autoactivated by addition of ZnCl2 and sulfatide. Sul fatide could be exchanged with acidic phospholipids but not with dextran sulfate. Linear standard curves were obtained whether the plasma was diluted with factor XII deficient plasma or a physiological buffer. The presence of a pharmacologic concentration of heparin did not affect the assay. In 37 plasma samples from healthy donors, a linear correlation was found between factor XII activity and the amount of factor XII antigen. Key Words: Factor XII—Hageman factor—Determination—Plasma.

Abstract:
Studies related to intellectual capital, particularly in banking sector, are basically focused on the relationship between intellectual capital performance and bank performance. In con¬trast to previous studies, this study analyzes the intellectual capital performance of regional development banks throughout Indonesia to develop performance through management of efficiency and productivity. The population and sample in this study consist of 26 regional development banks in Indonesia for the period 2007–2013. The management of efficiency is measured using the ratio of operating expense to operating income (BOPO), while the management of labor productivity is measured using the ratio of labor expenses to total operating expense and income level. At the theoretical level, this study is expected to fill the gap for the assessment of intellectual capital performance of banking institutions with unique characteristics such as regional development banks. To analyze intellectual capital performance, VAICTM method developed by Pulic (1998, 2000, 2004, 2008) is applied. The findings show that the intellectual capital performance of regional development banks is in the category of common performers. Finally, regional development banks need to focus on the importance of strengthening intangible resources directly affecting banking management in terms of strengthening information technology, positioning, and management competence, as well as organizational culture and working climate.

Abstract:
It is generally agreed that immunological mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease; however, regulation of these mechanisms has hitherto received scant attention. Regulatory net works exist at both a cellular and a molecular level. At the cellular level, the existence of helper (T4-positive) and suppressor (T8-positive) T lymphocytes, the expression of Class II major histocompatibility complex antigens, and the heterogeneity of macrophage subpopulations are central to an understanding of the regulatory mechanisms involved. It is only recently that studies of these separate components, in both humans and experimental animals, have begun to provide a basis for understanding the complex interactions occurring in periodontal disease. Studies using the human experimental gingivitis model have shown an immunoregulatory picture consistent with a controlled immunological reaction with an essentially normal T4:T8 ratio of 2.0. In con trast, studies utilizing cells extracted from adult periodontitis lesions have shown a reduced T4:T8 ratio (approximately 1.0) and an inability to respond in, or to stimulate, an autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction. Animal studies using athymic nude rats have supported the concept of a central role for T-cell control in periodontal disease and the possibility of an imbalance in this control with disease progression. These results are reviewed and areas of future research explored.

Abstract:
The thesis has been written on the basis of main architectural concepts and their application in real life within a historical context investigation. Main architectural concepts are represented in a harmony of architectural composition that deals with relations among form, structure and space in the unique art work. Genius loci play very important role in the architectural creation - it represents a special and extra-ordinary urban locality and its architectural value in the historical, geographical and cultural context. The origin of Ostravice village within the historical frame concept of Moravia domain is the topic of this thesis. Other historical documents gave information about Bruneswerde as the Brno Castle. That means Brno Castle had to be founded not in Brno (as it has been consid-ered for many years) but it was located in Beskydy at Ostravice. The sacred city – Civitas Dei had been located in Bruneswerde region in early ages as the centre of European culture, education and spiritual life. Civitas Dei – divine Jerusalem in the transcription of St. Augustine's book De civitate Dei – is not only glorification of God and religious fantasy. It is also one of significant clues for recognition of historical architecture. The depiction of unknown settlement from the book of unde-fined origin is a superb testimony about extinct architectural works. They are legible from cadastral maps. Brno Castle - residence of nobility and power served shelter to St. Vojtěch, St. Prokop, St. Václav and St. Ludmila as it is obvious for the mentioned picture. Three major temples, three com-position axes symbolized by three towers on coins are in analogical relation to Brno triangle of four saints - the Saint family of Brno temples. Powerful ambitions of Brno City principals and clergy are inscribed into the urban structure in the way of composition relations which are legible to them who devoted themselves to the mystery of harmony. The absence of historical continuity affects personal attitudes and also identity of the whole community. The architecture truly reflects the past state of polis and it is eloquent even after its death. The architectural composition relations influence the natural environment for long time, longer than the architectural work existence. The geometric order of Renaissance Brno existence has not been in attention of architects so far. The features were discovered in characteristic paintings by Albrecht Durer. They are evidently secret works of the genius. A meaningful collaborator and follower in the extensive project was also his friend Jan Čert from Brno and lately from Vienna. His noble genealogy played a significant role in history of Silesia and Moravia for centuries. It is tendency to consider him as Austrian or even German architect. It is because of the fact that the genealogy tree of his noble family had roots in Moravia. It is supposed that Durer with Jan Čert´s support created the extraordinarily monumental architectural and urban works in Brno. A remarkable consensus in the urban composition of two squares and transition of traditional urban structure of Ostravice Civitas Dei into the modern Brno is also confirmed due to the identification of noble creators and owners, who were at the foundation, transformation and extinction of elements of the Moravian urban structure.
