FUNCTIONAL HETEROGENEITY OF MURINE LYMPHOID CELLS

An appreciable percent (3–14%) of the lymphocyte-like cells of the mouse spleen lack both the θ-isoantigen and sufficient surface immunoglobulin to be detected by conventional immunofluorescence or autoradiographic procedures. These θ-,Ig- cells are increased in frequency after treatment of mice with antithymocyte serum or in mice that have been thymectomized, irradiated (850 R), and reconstituted with bone marrow cells. Moreover, in chimeric C57BL/6 mice in which the T cells are derived from (BALB/c x C57BL/6)F1 donors, θ-,Ig- cells also lack BALB/c histocompatibility antigens. These experiments indicate that θ-,Ig- cells are not θ- T lymphocytes. Removal of complement receptor lymphocytes from spleen cell populations increases the frequency of θ-,Ig- cells, indicating that such cells lack the complement receptor. Partially purified populations of θ-,Ig- cells have been obtained by cytolysis by anti-θ- and anti-κ-antibody and complement and by density gradient ultracentrifugation. These cells closely resemble lymphocytes in morphology. The only exceptional feature is the existence of prominent nucleoli. The θ-,Ig- cells lack hemoglobin and endogenous peroxidases, are not actively phagocytic, and do not adhere to glass. This suggests they are not of the erythroid, myeloid, or monocytoid lines. [3H]Thymidine labeling studies indicate that θ-,Ig- cells are members of a relatively slowly dividing cell pool. Whether θ-,Ig- cells are members of the "classical" B lymphocyte line or belong to another, as yet undescribed, lineage is not yet certain.
Detection of CO from SMM J16359+6612, the Multiply Imaged Submillimeter Galaxy behind A2218

We report the detection of CO J = 3 → 2 line emission from all three multiple images (A, B, and C) of the intrinsically faint (≃0.8 mJy) submillimeter-selected galaxy SMM J16359+6612. The brightest source of the submillimeter continuum emission (B) also corresponds to the brightest CO emission, which is centered at z = 2.5168, consistent with the preexisting redshift derived from Hα. The observed CO flux in the A, B, and C images is 1.2, 3.5, and 1.6 Jy km s-1, respectively, with a line width of 500 ± 100 km s-1. After correcting for the lensing amplification, the CO flux corresponds to a molecular gas mass of ~2 × 1010 h M☉, while the extent of the CO emission indicates that the dynamical mass of the system is ~9 × 1010 M☉. Two velocity components are seen in the CO spectra; these could arise either from a rotating compact ring or disk of gas or from merging substructure. The star formation rate in this galaxy was previously derived to be ~100-500 M☉ yr-1. If all the CO emission arises from the inner few kiloparsecs of the galaxy and if the Galactic CO-to-H2 conversion factor holds, then the gas consumption timescale is a relatively short 40 Myr, and so the submillimeter emission from SMM J16359+6612 may be produced by a powerful but short-lived circumnuclear starburst event in an otherwise normal and representative high-redshift galaxy.
Testing the efficacy of a counselling intervention: Facilitating the motivation to learn among Arab high school students and teachers in Israel.

The motivation of students to learn is one of the most investigated topics in education. Abu Asba (2007) and Assor (2005) have tried to understand the basic factors that enhance motivation and how both teachers and students can benefit from enhancing the motivation to learn. There has been no research that has contributed to the study of motivation in Israeli Arab high schools. The main purpose of the current study was to examine the processes elicited by a counselling intervention designed to enhance motivation, to improve self-image, school climate and student-teacher achievements of high-school students. Thirty students from five 10 grade classes and thirty-five teachers participated in the study. One of the research aims was to formulate a strategy teachers can use when attempting to motivate their students. The study found that it is difficult for teachers to arouse students' intrinsic motivation to learn in a cultural and educational system where motivation to learn is extrinsically controlled. The study also found that motivation to learn increased after students and teachers participated in a counselling intervention program. When students' motivation to learn was elicited, student engagement with the learning processes was enhanced. The findings showed that student and teacher motivation grew and developed when student and teacher selfimages improved. Strategies to improve teacher and student self-images included the implementation of teacher training on the subject of learning styles and on the use of relevant instructional styles and the training of educational teams to address teacher and student motivation.
A Review on All Terrain Vehicle Safety

All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) have become increasing popular in many countries around the world, both for occupational use, as well as recreational use. With an increase in popularity, and the supply of heavier and more powerful machines on the market, major traumas and deaths from ATV use are growing concerns for public health and injury prevention professionals. This review of the literature on ATVs will focus on the mechanism and patterns of ATV-related injuries, the challenges of injury prevention, and the effects of legislation and regulations regarding ATV usage. The increasing burden of injuries and the substantial economic cost from ATV-related traumas and deaths calls for intensification of injury prevention efforts. Modification of risk factors, institution of regulations and legislation, and enforcement of those rules are important steps for prevention of ATV-related harm.
Epidemiological Pattern of Bullying Among School Children in Mazandaran Province, Iran

Background: School bullying, the most common type of school violence, comprises a spectrum of aggressive behaviors that involve both perpetrators and victims. Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the extent and nature of school bullying among middle school students in the North of Iran. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 834 Iranian middle school students. Participants completed a self-report anonymous questionnaire measuring bullying and victimization (Iranian-Olweus bullying questionnaire). Descriptive statistics and the Pearson's chi-squared test and multinomial logistic regressions with area, gender and grade variables were applied. Results: Prevalence rates of bullying behaviors based on the cut-off point at 2 or 3 times a month were 5.4% for only bully, 22.1% for only victim and 11% for both bully-victim. The prevalence of each form of victimization were 24.7% verbal, 15% relational, 10.3% physical and for each form of bullies 11% verbal, 5.3% relational, 6.4% physical. Boys were more involved in all forms of bullying behaviors. The students from rural areas were more involved in bullying . The most common places of victimization were the playground or athletic fields. The majority of victims were bullied by their classmates. Conclusions: Different forms of bullying have a distinct nature and the epidemiological pattern indicates that bullying exists in the Iranian schools. Thus, the effective bullying prevention and appropriate intervention programs are recommended.
Visual and Textual Sentiment Analysis of a Microblog Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

Sentiment analysis of online social media has attracted significant interest recently. Many studies have been performed, but most existing methods focus on either only textual content or only visual content. In this paper, we utilize deep learning models in a convolutional neural network (CNN) to analyze the sentiment in Chinese microblogs from both textual and visual content. We first train a CNN on top of pre-trained word vectors for textual sentiment analysis and employ a deep convolutional neural network (DNN) with generalized dropout for visual sentiment analysis. We then evaluate our sentiment prediction framework on a dataset collected from a famous Chinese social media network (Sina Weibo) that includes text and related images and demonstrate state-of-the-art results on this Chinese sentiment analysis benchmark.
Evaluation of a Specialized Yoga Program for Persons Admitted to a Complex Continuing Care Hospital: A Pilot Study

Introduction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a specialized yoga intervention for inpatients in a rehabilitation and complex continuing care hospital. Design. Single-cohort repeated measures design. Methods. Participants (N = 10) admitted to a rehabilitation and complex continuing care hospital were recruited to participate in a 50–60 min Hatha Yoga class (modified for wheelchair users/seated position) once a week for eight weeks, with assigned homework practice. Questionnaires on pain (pain, pain interference, and pain catastrophizing), psychological variables (depression, anxiety, and experiences with injustice), mindfulness, self-compassion, and spiritual well-being were collected at three intervals: pre-, mid-, and post-intervention. Results. Repeated measures ANOVAs revealed a significant main effect of time indicating improvements over the course of the yoga program on the (1) anxiety subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, F(2,18) = 4.74, p < . 05, and η p 2 = . 35, (2) Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form, F(2,18) = 3.71, p < . 05, and η p 2 = . 29, and (3) Magnification subscale of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, F(2,18) = 3. 66, p < . 05, and η p 2 = . 29. Discussion. The results suggest that an 8-week Hatha Yoga program improves pain-related factors and psychological experiences in individuals admitted to a rehabilitation and complex continuing care hospital.
Heterosexual Romantic Relationships, Interpersonal Needs, and Quality of Life in Prison

The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating effect of having vs. not having a heterosexual romantic partner inside the prison on the relationship between interpersonal needs and quality of life. In-person interviews were conducted with 55 male and 64 female inmates from the Topas Penitentiary (Spain). Higher levels of social loneliness and lower levels of sexual satisfaction were associated with lower levels of quality of life. In addition, the interaction between sexual satisfaction and romantic partner status was significant. Higher levels of sexual satisfaction were associated with higher levels of quality of life only for the group without a partner. These findings support a “bad is stronger than good” principle and indicate the detrimental aspects that can be associated with not having a satisfactory sexual life while incarcerated. El objetivo de estudio era investigar el efector moderador del hecho de tener una pareja heterosexual dentro de prisión vs. no tenerla sobre la relación entre las necesidades interpersonales y la calidad de vida. Se llevaron a cabo entrevistas personales con 55 presos varones y 64 mujeres del Centro Penitenciario de Topas (España). Niveles altos de soledad social y niveles bajos de satisfacción sexual se asociaron con niveles más bajos de calidad de vida. Asimismo, la interacción entre la satisfacción sexual y el estado de pareja fue significativa. Niveles más altos de satisfacción sexual se asociaron con niveles más altos de calidad de vida tan sólo en el grupo sin pareja. Estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de permitir a los internos tener relaciones de pareja heterosexuales dentro de la misma prisión, así como favorecer el que puedan tener una vida sexual satisfactoria durante el tiempo que están encarcelados.
The Polysemy of Da3: An ontology-based lexical semantic study

In this study, we explore the polysemy of da3 through the ontological conceptual structure found in SUMO. First, we divide several different senses for da3, clustering physical event senses and metaphorical event senses. In here, we only focus on physical event senses of da3. From the physical event senses of da3, we divide them into two main categories: 1) hit and 2) pump. We then use SUMO ontological concepts to identify these physical senses. Finally, we can observe the common patterns of the “hit” sense group and the “pump” sense group for da3.
THE REAL-SPACE CORRELATION FUNCTION MEASURED FROM THE APM GALAXY SURVEY

We present a determination of the real space correlation function for galaxies in the APM Survey, with magnitudes in the range $17 40 Mpc/h$. The form we obtain for $\xi(r)$ is smooth on large scales, allowing a determination of the distortions in the correlation function in redshift space, caused by the peculiar motions of galaxies to be made. Comparing the real space correlation function with the measurement of the redshift space correlation function by Loveday et al (1995), we find that a value for $omega^{0.6}/b$ (where $\omega$ is the density parameter of the universe and b is the bias factor between the density of light and mass) of unity is ruled out at the 2 sigma level.
Atheris: A First Step Towards a Uni?ed Peer-to-Peer Traf?c Measurement Framework

The extensive growth of peer-to-peer video applications (P2PTV) indicates the evolutionary path towards the next generation of networking. To enhance the quality of experience for P2PTV users, new P2P video traf? c models are required. These models are often developed by measurement-driven performance modeling based upon statistical analysis. However, this type of analysis can be a challenging task, due to the complexity and especially, with large sample sizes, the sheer quantity of the data. For this reason, preliminary data examination by graphical means and appropriate visualization techniques can be of great value. In this paper, the versatile network traf? canalyzer Atheris will be introduced. It is an essential part of a comprehensive traf? c measurement and analysis concept to cope with the rapid deployment of P2PTV applications and their overlay structures. Atheris has been designed speci? cally for measuring P2P applications and for visualizing their inherent properties. As a part of its functionality, Atheris performs traf? cmeasurements at the packet layer, data extraction, ? ow analysis and enables the visual inspection of statistical characteristics. Furthermore, an evaluation of overlay structures by bandwidth estimation techniques and an overview of the statistical P2Ptraf? c features are provided.
Immigrant life satisfaction in Europe: the role of social and symbolic boundaries

ABSTRACT The cross-national investigation of immigrant subjective well-being remains an understudied field, especially with regard to the link between institutional settings and individual outcomes. We approach this gap by investigating the role of policies regulating immigrant integration for life satisfaction. Immigrants’ status and life chances depend on the inclusiveness of integration policies in forms of rights given to immigrants in the receiving country. These policies differentiate immigrants from natives: exclusionary integration policies understood as social boundaries should result in lower levels of well-being. We also consider an alternative policy type (i.e. multicultural policies) as well as symbolic boundaries (i.e. natives’ attitudes towards immigrants). We distinguish between national citizens, EU citizens and third-country nationals (TCNs). Results based on up to five rounds of data from the European Social Survey indicate that in terms of life satisfaction only TCNs profit from inclusive integration policies. Furthermore, while political multiculturalism does not play a role, we find that EU migrants appear more susceptible to the negative impact of natives’ anti-immigrant attitudes. Policy-making is more important for TCNs, while a migrant-friendly opinion climate is more important for EU migrants. These findings are robust to controlling for unobserved time-constant country heterogeneity via country fixed effects.
Predictors of men's genital self-image across sexual orientation and geographic region

Factors that contribute to men's genital self-image are not well known, despite the documented psychological importance of body image more broadly. The current study used a simultaneous multiple regression to examine the relationship(s) between genital self-image, body image, pornography use, circumcision status, age, and social appearance anxiety among men from different geographic locations, and of differing sexual orientations (N = 674). Participants were recruited from Canada (n = 285), the United States (n = 214), and Western Europe (n = 121) through online recruitment methods. A total of 372 gay men/other men who have sex with men (MSM) and 302 heterosexual men were included in the present analyses. Men's genital self-image was significantly predicted by self-perceived body image and social appearance anxiety. Further univariate and multivariate analyses discussed include age, sexual orientation, country of origin, solo porn use, and circumcision status. Implications of the continued importance of parsing the differences between genital self-image and related variables for understanding sexual functioning and overall self-esteem are discussed.
Depression-like Behavior Induced by Nesfatin-1 in Rats: Involvement of Increased Immune Activation and Imbalance of Synaptic Vesicle Proteins

Depression is a multicausal disorder and has been associated with metabolism regulation and immuno-inflammatory reaction. The anorectic molecule nesfatin-1 has recently been characterized as a potential mood regulator, but its precise effect on depression and the possible mechanisms remain unknown, especially when given peripherally. In the present study, nesfatin-1 was intraperitoneally injected to the rats and the depression-like behavior and activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis were evaluated. The plasma concentrations of nesfatin-1, interleukin 6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP); and the hypothalamic expression levels of nesfatin-1, synapsin I, and synaptotagmin I mRNA were evaluated in nesfatin-1 chronically treated rats. The results showed that both acute and chronic administration of nesfatin-1 increased immobility in the forced swimming test (FST), and resulted in the hyperactivity of HPA axis, as indicated by the increase of plasma corticosterone concentration and hypothalamic expression of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) mRNA. Moreover, after chronic nesfatin-1 administration, the rats exhibited decreased activity and exploratory behavior in the open field test (OFT) and increased mRNA expression of synapsin I and synaptotagmin I in the hypothalamus. Furthermore, chronic administration of nesfatin-1 elevated plasma concentrations of IL-6 and CRP, which were positively correlated with despair behavior, plasma corticosterone level, and the hypothalamic mRNA expression of synapsin I and synaptotagmin I. These results indicated that exogenous nesfatin-1 could induce the immune-inflammatory activation, which might be a central hug linking the depression-like behavior and the imbalanced mRNA expression of synaptic vesicle proteins in the hypothalamus.
Widely tunable monolithically integrated lasers using intracavity Mach-Zehnder interferometers

Using monolithic integration technology we have designed and fabricated tunable lasers in the 1.5 μm region with a demonstrated tuning range of 60 nm and single mode operation. This performance is achieved using intracavity tunable Mach-Zehnder interferometers that use voltage controlled phase modulators. In this paper we will discuss design considerations and advantages of such tunable lasers.
Peculiar velocities into the next generation: cosmological parameters from the SFI++ survey

We present cosmological parameter constraints from the SFI++ galaxy peculiar velocity survey, the largest galaxy peculiar velocity sample to date. The analysis is performed by using the gridding method developed in Abate et al. We concentrate on constraining parameters which are affected by the clustering of matter: σ 8 and the growth index γ. Assuming a concordance A cold dark matter (ACDM) model, we find σ 8 = 0.91 +0.22 ―0.18 and γ = 0.55 +0.13 ―0.14 after marginalizing over Ω m . These constraints are consistent with, and have constraining power similar to, the same constraints from other current data sets which use different methods. Recently, there have been several claims that the peculiar velocity measurements do not agree with ACDM. Instead, we find that, although a higher value of σ 8 and a lower value of Ω m are preferred, the values are still consistent when compared with Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe 5 results. We note that although our analysis probes a variety of scales, the constraints will be dominated by the smaller scales, which have the smallest uncertainties. These results show that peculiar velocity analysis is a vital probe of cosmology, providing competitive constraints on parameters such as σ 8 . Its sensitivity to the derivative of growth function, particularly down to redshift zero, means that it can provide a vital low redshift anchor on the evolution of structure formation. The importance of utilizing different probes with varying systematics is also an essential requirement for providing a consistency check on the best-fitting cosmological model.
Vascular Disease in Diabetic Women: Why Do They Miss the Female Protection?

Gender plays a pivotal role in the onset as well as in the progression of the cardiovascular disease with a higher morbidity and mortality being detected in men with respect to women. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) may reduce gender-related differences in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease by fading the vascular protective effects afforded by estrogen in females. This article will discuss the role of sex and sex hormones on the incidence and mechanisms involved in vascular dysfunction associated to T2DM, which might explain why women with T2DM lack the vascular protection.
Switching Hats: The Effect of Role Transition on Individual Ambidexterity

This article contributes to the growing body of research that focuses on the microfoundations of organizational ambidexterity, that is, understanding what enables individuals to address the exploitation-exploration dilemma. One central challenge generated by ambidexterity is the multiplicity and divergence of organizational roles, to which individuals need to cater when exploiting and exploring. Specifically, we point to the relevance of how individuals identify with and enact this multiplicity of role demands. Following identity theory, we apply the logic of role integration and role segmentation, a foundational classification of how individuals cognitively manage role multiplicity. Further, as different role domains often require the interaction with other organizational functions, we test for the moderating effect of cross-functional coordination on the relationship between role segmentation and individual ambidexterity. Based on data from 120 global account managers employed by multinationals with an average size of 73,348 employees, our results indicate that role segmentation negatively influences an individual’s ability to behave ambidextrously. Interestingly, though, when operating in cross-functional teams, the impact of role segmentation becomes positive. We conclude by highlighting the scope and significance of these findings for theory, managerial practice, and future research.
