Victim Ambiguity: Bystander Intervention and Sexual Assault in the College Drinking Scene

ABSTRACT Alcohol-related sexual assault is the most common form of sexual victimization on college campuses. Bystander intervention has been suggested as effective in preventing sexual assault, but its usefulness in sexual assaults that involve alcohol in particular has not yet been examined. The current study draws from intensive interviews with 30 undergraduates at a large Midwestern university to understand how students’ perceptions about sexual victimization and alcohol use affect their bystander behavior. Findings suggest that in alcohol-involved situations, the ambiguity of whether the woman is at risk and her perceived worthiness are significant barriers to intervention. Policy implications are discussed.
Measurement of CT lung density in patients with chronic asthma.

Evidence for the presence of emphysema in patients with asthma is controversial. We have previously shown that decreased lung density, measured by computed tomographic (CT) scanning, preoperatively, correlates with morphometric measurements of microscopic emphysema in subsequently resected lungs. The aim of this study was to compare CT lung density, in 17 patients with chronic asthma (forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) 1.98 (SD 0.77) L), 17 patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema (FEV1 0.97 (0.56) L) and seven normal subjects (FEV1 3.5 (034) L). All subjects underwent CT scanning of the lungs and respiratory function testing within 2 days of each other. In five of the asthmatic patients a CT scan was performed on two occasions before and after treatment with nebulized bronchodilator. In a different group of five asthmatics these measurements were performed at the end of and 6 weeks after an exacerbation. The mean value of the lowest fifth percentile of the CT lung density in the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was -942 (SD 36) Hounsfield units (HU), in the 17 asthmatic patients was -912 (34) HU, and in normal subjects was -880 (13). Despite a significant increase in peak expiratory flow rate from 266 (SD 102) to 406 (83) L x s(-1) (p<0.02) following nebulized beta2-agonist in five patients with chronic asthma, there was no significant change in CT lung density (p>0.05) Our study indicates that at least some patients with chronic, stable asthma develop a reduction in computed tomography lung density, similar to that in patients with emphysema.
Immunolocalization of Kex2 protease identifies a putative late Golgi compartment in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The Kex2 protein of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a membrane- bound, Ca2(+)-dependent serine protease that cleaves the precursors of the mating pheromone alpha-factor and the M1 killer toxin at pairs of basic residues during their transport through the secretory pathway. To begin to characterize the intracellular locus of Kex2-dependent proteolytic processing, we have examined the subcellular distribution of Kex2 protein in yeast by indirect immunofluorescence. Kex2 protein is located at multiple, discrete sites within wild-type yeast cells (average, 3.0 +/- 1.7/mother cell). Qualitatively similar fluorescence patterns are observed at elevated levels of expression, but no signal is found in cells lacking the KEX2 gene. Structures containing Kex2 protein are not concentrated at a perinuclear location, but are distributed throughout the cytoplasm at all phases of the cell cycle. Kex2-containing structures appear in the bud at an early, premitotic stage. Analysis of conditional secretory (sec) mutants demonstrates that Kex2 protein ordinarily progresses from the ER to the Golgi but is not incorporated into secretory vesicles, consistent with the proposed localization of Kex2 protein to the yeast Golgi complex.
Impaired hippocampus‐dependent spatial flexibility and sociability represent autism‐like phenotypes in GluK2 mice

Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with high heritability. grik2 (which encodes the GluK2 subunit of kainate receptors) has been identified as a susceptibility gene in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but its role in the core and associated symptoms of ASD still remains elusive. We used mice lacking GluK2 (GluK2 KO) to examine their endophenotype with a view to modeling aspects of autism, including social deficits, stereotyped and repetitive behavior and decreased cognitive abilities. Anxiety was recorded in the elevated plus maze, social behavior in a three‐chamber apparatus, and cognition in different water maze protocols. Deletion of the GluK2 gene reduced locomotor activity and sociability as indicated by the social interaction task. In addition, GluK2 KO mice learnt to locate a hidden platform in a water maze surrounded by a curtain with hanging cues faster than wild‐type mice. They maintained a bias toward the target quadrant when some of these cues were removed, at which point wild‐types orthogonalized the behavior and showed no memory. However, GluK2 KO mice were impaired in spatial reversal learning. These behavioral data together with previously published electrophysiology showing severe anomalies in CA3 network activity, suggest a computational shift in this network for enhanced propensity of pattern completion that would explain the loss of behavioral flexibility in GluK2 KO mice. Although a single mutation cannot recapitulate the entire core symptoms of ASD, our data provide evidence for glutamatergic dysfunction underlying a number of social‐ and cognition‐related phenotypes relevant to ASD. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Face Inversion Impairs the Ability to Draw Long-Range, but Not Short-Range, Spatial Relationships Between Features

Art instructors have promoted the idea that reproducing upside-down models facilitates drawing accuracy. However, perceptual research has demonstrated that face inversion impairs the perception of long-range and, to a lesser extent, short-range spatial relationships between features. This suggests that drawing an upside-down face model might impair, rather than facilitate, drawing performance with respect to the accuracy of depicting the spatial relationships between features. In this study, participants drew an upright and upside-down face. Participants were less accurate in drawing the long-range spatial relationship between the eyes and mouth when drawing the upside-down face than when drawing the upright face. In contrast, they were equally accurate in drawing the short-range spatial relationships between the (a) eyes and eyebrows, (b) nose and mouth, and (c) two eyes when drawing the upright and upside-down models. This result fails to empirically validate the effectiveness of drawing models upside-down for the purposes of facilitating drawing accuracy.
Risk of drug-eluting stent thrombosis in patients receiving proton pump inhibitors

Summary Clopidogrel is a prodrug that is converted via the hepatic cytochrome P450 system into its active thiol metabolite. Evidence is accumulating that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) inhibit this enzymatic pathway and may therefore attenuate the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel. The objective of this study was to investigate whether patients on clopidogrel therapy after drug-eluting stent (DES) placement who also receive a PPI are at higher risk of stent thrombosis (ST). This is a retrospective analysis of patients who received dual antiplatelet treatment including clopidogrel after DES placement. Outcomes were compared according to PPI therapy. The primary endpoint was the incidence of definite ST at 30 days. Secondary endpoints were death, combined death or ST and myocardial infarction (MI). The study population included 3,338 patients and 698 patients (20.9%) received PPIs. Patients receiving a PPI had a higher risk profile at baseline. Multivariate analysis showed that PPI treatment was not independently associated with the occurrence of ST [adjusted HR 1.8 (95% CI: 0.7–4.7), p=0.23] or MI [adjusted HR 1.3 (0.8–2.3), p=0.11]. PPI treatment was significantly associated with death [adjusted HR 2.2 (1.1–4.3), p=0.02] and death or ST [adjusted HR 3.3(1.7–6.7), p=0.02]. Concomitant treatment with a PPI in patients receiving dual antiplatelet treatment after coronary stenting is not an independent predictor of ST. The higher mortality is probably due to confounding as patients on PPIs had a higher risk profile at baseline.
The changes in running performance and maximal oxygen uptake after long-term training in elite athletes.

AIM The relationship between VO2max (mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)) and running performance has been assessed in cross-sectional studies. Follow-up studies of the long-term effects of running training on the changes in performance and VO2max have not been undertaken. METHODS Twenty-five male endurance-trained (MET) and 8 female endurance-trained (FET) athletes were tracked over 4 years. In each event the athletes were divided into Class A, including half the number of athletes with the best performances, and Class B. VO2max, examined at the end of the competitive season, and the best performance was chosen each year. RESULTS After 3 years of training, in MET and FET athletes the performance improved by 1.77% and 0.69% (P<0.01 and P=0.579), respectively. In Class A runners, training resulted in non-significant increase in performance (-0.04%) (P=0.982) and in Class B runners, performance increased by 3.16% (P=0.001). In all groups VO(2max) remained essentially unchanged. Longitudinal changes in the VO2max were not related with the changes in running performance in any group. CONCLUSIONS This study show than in older runners with more years of training, heavy training does not produce improvements in running performance neither changes in the VO2max. It is possible that these elite athletes have reached the plateau in their performance; although unlikely, some improvement in training techniques may happen and break the present limit. In younger runners with less years of training, heavy training produce improvements in running performance without changes in the VO2max. These athletes that had not attained his biological limits at the beginning of study improved the performance in competition and it is quite probable that this improvement be due to training. The changes in performance were not related to changes in VO2max. Consequently, another physiological or psychological variables must be studied by longitudinal form to explain the variability of performance in competition.
Particulate matter from tobacco versus diesel car exhaust: an educational perspective

Background: Air pollution is a common alibi used by adolescents taking up smoking and by smokers uncertain about quitting. However, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) causes fine particulate matter (PM) indoor pollution exceeding outdoor limits, while new engines and fuels have reduced particulate emissions by cars. Data comparing PM emission from ETS and a recently released diesel car are presented. Methods: A 60 m3 garage was chosen to assess PM emission from three smouldering cigarettes (lit sequentially for 30 minutes) and from a TDCi 2000cc, idling for 30 minutes. Results: Particulate was measured with a portable analyser with readings every two minutes. Background PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 levels (mean (SD)) were 15 (1), 13 (0.7), and 7 (0.6) μg/m3 in the car experiment and 36 (2), 28 (1), and 14 (0.8) μg/m3 in the ETS experiment, respectively. Mean (SD) PM recorded in the first hour after starting the engine were 44 (9), 31 (5), and 13 (1) μg/m3, while mean PM in the first hour after lighting cigarettes were 343 (192), 319 (178), and 168 (92) μg/m3 for PM10, PM2.5, and PM1, respectively (p < 0.001, background corrected). Conclusions: ETS is a major source of PM pollution, contributing to indoor PM concentrations up to 10-fold those emitted from an idling ecodiesel engine. Besides its educational usefulness, this knowledge should also be considered from an ecological perspective.

Analyzing Single Episodes of Interaction: An Exercise in Conversation Analysis

A variety of analytic resources provided by past work in conversation analysis are brought to bear on the analysis of a single utterance in its sequential context, drawn from an ordinary conversation. Various facets of the organization of talk-in-interaction are thereby both introduced and exemplified. The result displays the capacity of this analytic modality to meet a fundamental responsibility of social analysis, namely the capacity to explicate single episodes of action in interaction as a basic locus of social order.
Describing and Supporting Collaborative Scientific Thinking in Parent-Child Interactions

project between two developmental psychologists and the staff of Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose. Under the broad agenda of studying the development of scientific literacy, we have been exploring the hypothesis that the guidance of parents is an important bridge between the intentions of the exhibit designer and the experience and knowledge of the child. Our research is guided by a framework inspired by a combination of sociocultural and infor-
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Men Genetic and Endocrine Features

• Sixteen men with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were examined to assess their genetic and hormonal status. The results of buccal smears in 13 patients examined were normal. Hormonal profiling was done in eight patients receiving no steroid therapy. Four patients had elevated plasma estradiol levels (30, 35, 55, and 103 pg/mL; normal, 12 to 23 pg/ mL) and elevated plasma estrone levels (115, 150, 155, and 160 pg/mL; normal, 48 to 100 pg/mL). One patient had a decreased serum testosterone level (134 ng/dL; normal, 300 to 1,000 ng/dL), with an elevated luteinizing hormone (LH) level (4.2 ng/mL; normal, 1.6 to 4.0 ng/mL). One patient had an elevation in both levels of serum follicle-stimulating hormone (17.6 ng/mL; normal, 1 to 5 ng/mL) and LH (10.0 ng/mL). Two patients given infusions of3H-androstenedione and14C-testosterone had normal findings from kinetic studies of these hormones. Hyperestrogenemia and hypoandrogenemia observed in some men with SLE suggest that female sex hormones may create an immunologic milieu that facilitates the autoimmune phenomena.

A Quantitative and Computer-Aided Thermography-Based Diagnostics for PV Devices—Part II: Platform and Results

This paper, Part II, deals with the software platform that implements the workflow described in Part I, i.e., a thermography-based diagnostics able to provide a detailed, clear, and unambiguous information on the health state of photovoltaic (PV) modules. The methodology, in fact, allows a numerical and qualitative evaluation of each cell of the PV module. In particular, this paper deeply describes the main features of the software platform and introduces the graphical user interface that makes the framework efficiently and effectively adoptable since it leads to the automatic generation of a report. In order to show the manifold features, three cases of study, which have been derived from a real monitoring survey, are discussed, highlighting the critical situations revealed neither with a direct observation of the infrared image nor with its manual processing: The first case in regard to a defected PV module and the second one an almost completely uniform module, while the third one deals with a dishomogeneous module.
Soft Materials with Recoverable Shape Factors from Extreme Distortion States

Elastomeric polysiloxane nanocomposites with elongations of >5000% (more than 3× greater than any previously reported material) with excellent shape recovery are presented. Highly deformable materials are desirable for the fabrication of stretchable implants and microfluidic devices. No crosslinking or domain formation is observed by a variety of analytical techniques, suggesting that their elastomeric behavior is caused by polymer chain entanglements.
Comparative Analysis of the results obtained after Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty and High Tibial Osteotomy in Isolated Gonarthrosis

ABSTRACT The AIM of this study was to analyse the results of the surgery and compare the outcomes of unicondylar knee arthroplasty and high tibial osteotomy performed in isolated gonarthrosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 2007 and 2011, 65 patients were implanted a partial knee endo-prosthesis in the Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology. Men were 23 (35.4%) and women were 42 (64.6%). High tibial osteotomy was performed to manage the unicompartmental gonarthrosis in 92 patients (47 men and 45 women) for 13 years between 1975 and 1987. These two modalities were used only in cases in which one of the knee joint compartments was affected. Clinical, para-clinical, functional tests and radiographic examination were conducted of the affected knee joint. RESULTS: The results of the study were assessed by the rating system proposed by the Knee Society and modified by John Insall. At four-year follow-up study the outcomes of the partial prosthesis were assessed as excellent in 85.13%, good - in 13.11% and satisfactory in 1.77% of patients. After high tibial osteotomy the results were considered very good in 54.18% of patients, good - in 32.29%, satisfactory - in 6.25%, and poor - in 7.8%. CONCLUSIONS: Partial knee arthroplasty is a resurfacing procedure, while high tibial osteotomy is used only to slow the overall degenerative process with gradual progressive exacerbation of osteoarthritis with age. The results after prosthetic treatment had a better dynamics than that in high tibial osteotomy РЕЗЮМЕ ЦЕЛЬ: Настоящее сравнительное исследование ставит себе целью анализировать полученные лечебные результаты проведенных уникондилярной коленной артропластики и высокой остеотомии тибии, примененных при изолированном гонартрозе. ПАЦИЕНТЫ И МЕТОДЫ: С 2007 по 2011 г. в Клинике ортопедии и травматологии оперировано 65 пациентов (23 - 35.4% - мужского пола, 42 - 64.6% - женского пола) которым поставлен частичный коленный протез. С 1975 года по 1987 г. , т. е. за 13 лет, при лечении уникомпартментального гонартроза применена высокая остеотомия большеберцовой кости 47 мужчинам и 45 женщинам. Эти два метода лечения авторы применяли при поражении только одного отдела коленного сустава. Проведены клинические, параклинические, функциональное и рентгенологическое исследования коленного сустава. РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ: Для оценки результатов использована система Insal (Knee Sience Score). За 4 года после частичного протезирования достигнуты следующие результаты: отличный - 85.13%, хороший - 13.11%, удовлетворительный - 1.77%, а после остеотомии тибии результаты следующие: очень хороший - 54.18%, хороший - 32.29%, удовлетворительный - 6.25% и плохой - 7.8%. ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ: Частичная коленая артропластика представляет процедуру „ресерфейсинга”, в то время как высокая остеотомия тибии только замедляет развитие дегенеративного процесса с постепенным углублением артроза во времени. Результаты после протезирования показывают лучшую динамику по сравнению с результатами высокой остеотомии тибии
Vehicular networks on two Madrid highways

There is a growing need for vehicular mobility datasets that can be employed in the simulative evaluation of protocols and architectures designed for upcoming vehicular networks. Such datasets should be realistic, publicly available, and heterogeneous, i.e., they should capture varied traffic conditions. In this paper, we contribute to the ongoing effort to define such mobility scenarios by introducing a novel set of traces for vehicular network simulation. Our traces are derived from high-resolution real-world traffic counts, and describe the road traffic on two highways around Madrid, Spain, at several hours of different working days. We provide a thorough discussion of the real-world data underlying our study, and of the synthetic trace generation process. Finally, we assess the potential impact of our dataset on networking studies, by characterizing the connectivity of vehicular networks built on the different traces. Our results underscore the dramatic impact that relatively small communication range variations have on the network. Also, they unveil previously unknown temporal dynamics of the topology of highway vehicular networks, and identify their causes.
Making Message Recipients “Feel Right”

Nonverbal cues are an inherent component of most persuasive appeals. We use regulatory-fit theory as a framework for understanding the effect of nonverbal cues on a message's effectiveness, and as a foundation for developing a new persuasion technique. We propose that when the nonverbal cues of a message source sustain the motivational orientation of the recipient, the recipient experiences regulatory fit and feels right, and that this experience influences the message's effectiveness. Experimental results support these predictions. Participants experiencing regulatory fit (promotion-focus participants viewing messages delivered in an eager nonverbal style, prevention-focus participants viewing messages delivered in a vigilant nonverbal style) had more positive attitudes toward a message's topic and greater intentions to behave in accordance with its recommendation than did participants experiencing nonfit. Feeling right was also greater for participants experiencing fit than for those experiencing nonfit and was associated with greater message effectiveness. Regulatory-fit theory provides a framework for making precise predictions about when and for whom a nonverbal cue will affect persuasion.
