A collection of papers appears under the title “Special External Effects on Fluvial System Evolution” in the journal, Quaternary. This is a new Special Issue under the aegis of the Fluvial Archives Group (FLAG), illustrating the recent progress made in paleo-fluvial research. These papers highlight the high complexity of the external forcing of fluvial dynamics, and especially, the combined results of several interfering variables. In addition, it appears that the study of fluvial archives cannot be limited to the general and direct effects of external variables, but it also has to include the indirect influences that are regionally variable.

Despite major discoveries made in the last few decades about Lassa fever, there are still many unresolved key issues that hamper the development of effective vaccines and therapies against this deadly disease that is endemic in several West African countries. Some of these issues include the lack of a detailed understanding of the viral and participating host factors in completing the virus life cycle, in mediating disease pathogenesis or protection from disease, and in activating or suppressing host innate and cellular immunity against virus infection, as well as of the animal models required for testing vaccines and therapeutics. This Special Issue is devoted to understanding some of these important issues and to exploring the current status of the research and development in combating Lassa fever.

Production Resource

Water is the most important and scarce production resource, and with changing climate the importance of this resource increases significantly. Increasing efforts are being made in research and education to maximize the water use efficiently with the concept of ‘crop per drop’ to increase crop water productivity with a good blend of science and indigenous knowledge. Nepalese farmers are adapting the best to water scarcity through adoption of sustainable soil management and the use of crops with minimum water requirement, among other options. This paper attempts to deal with the neglected issues of using local crops and indigenous knowledge and technologies for increasing water productivity.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hn.v11i1.7204 Hydro Nepal Special Issue: Conference Proceedings 2012 pp.50-53

The article presents briefly, in a personal vision, the execution of a public monumental work, with a religious theme, namely The Wayside Cross, with a step-by-step description of the phases of design and execution of the necessary components resulting from the project. The entire work is realized in a contemporary, personal innovative vision, and the variety of materials and techniques that were used are meant to emphasize the complexity of its building. The paper highlights the difficulties in establishing formal motives for the given theme and describes the moments when the Divine inspiration and protection were felt during the elaboration process, giving a very special note to the evolution and completion of the whole artistic approach. The mosaic - of pictorial type - is different from the slightly monochrome chromatics characteristic for the tradition of this type of monument-size representation. The basic structure of the cross pedestal, with candle shelves; the perfectly symmetrical, metallic, laced grids, of great technical difficulty; the side windows carefully made in the stained-glass technique – the Tiffany technique; the whole range of technical solutions for their installation inside the edifice that shelters the work, as well as the harmonic insertion of the complex into the ambiental atmosphere of the site, all these were challenges of high complexity. The result of this long execution process of about 5 months and its assembling in a unitary religious complex, namely the Wayside Cross, was received with real appreciation both by the priests of the parish in which it is located and by its parishioners, inhabitants of Între Lacuri district from Cluj-Napoca.

Robotics and Mechatronics Conference 2010 (ROBOMEC’10) was held at the Asahikawa Taisetsu arena in Asahikawa, Japan, on June 13-16, 2010, sponsored by the Robotics and Mechatronics Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME). Prof. Masashi Furukawa of Hokkaido University served as the General Chair and Prof. Keiji Suzuki of Hokkaido University as the Program Chair. The conference theme was “Robotics, Mechatronics, Big-bang, Frontier,” detailing expectations of major technology expansion in robotics and mechatronics. Over 1,100 presentations were made in 86 sessions, and participants numbered 1500 including those from abroad, making it a great success. The ROBOMEC’10 program committee selected 136 outstanding presentations. We recommended that authors submit original works for this issue, and received 53 papers. This special issue, Part 1 presents 15 papers strictly reviewed and accepted from among them. The remaining accepted papers will appear in the next issue as Part 2. We are pleased with the very high quality of these papers, and are confident that readers will find them both interesting and instructive in the fields of robotics and mechatronics. We thank the authors for their invaluable contributions and the reviewers for their time and effort. We also thank Editor-in-Chief Prof. Tatsuo Arai of Osaka University for organizing this special issue.

AbstractThis introduction to the special issue provides an exploration of the scholarly analysis of Jim Bulpitt's Territory and Power in the United Kingdom: An Interpretation. It first addresses the principal theoretical concerns and the historical interpretation that Bulpitt pursued in Territory and Power. It discusses the main lines of criticism that have been laid against the book and how in turn these have been rebutted. The article then assesses how the contributions made in this special issue provide fresh reflection on the book's contribution to the study of UK and comparative politics before suggesting how Territory and Power could shape the agenda of future research.
