Teachers’ Expectations of Girls’ Classroom Performance and Behavior: Effects of Girls’ Race and Pubertal Timing

Experiencing an early pubertal transition has been shown to increase the risk for internalizing and externalizing outcomes among girls. It is less clear how the expectations of other individuals can be critical determinants of vulnerability for early developers. This study used an experimental design to examine whether the expectations of teachers might be influenced by girls’ pubertal timing (early, on-time, late) and race (Black, White). Elementary school teachers (N = 220; Mage = 43 years; 91% female; 84% White) were randomly shown behavior vignettes consisting of drawings of girls in varying stages of pubertal development. They then rated each girl’s future academic/social functioning. Results demonstrated that teachers expected White and Black early developers to have more academic/social problems. Teachers also ascribed more academic/social problems to Black early developers relative to White early developers. The findings offer new insights into the synergistic linkages between pubertal timing and teachers’ expectations, with girls’ race accentuating this relationship.
The sim Operon Facilitates the Transport and Metabolism of Sucrose Isomers in Lactobacillus casei ATCC 334

ABSTRACT Inspection of the genome sequence of Lactobacillus casei ATCC 334 revealed two operons that might dissimilate the five isomers of sucrose. To test this hypothesis, cells of L. casei ATCC 334 were grown in a defined medium supplemented with various sugars, including each of the five isomeric disaccharides. Extracts prepared from cells grown on the sucrose isomers contained high levels of two polypeptides with M rs of ∼50,000 and ∼17,500. Neither protein was present in cells grown on glucose, maltose or sucrose. Proteomic, enzymatic, and Western blot analyses identified the ∼50-kDa protein as an NAD+- and metal ion-dependent phospho-α-glucosidase. The oligomeric enzyme was purified, and a catalytic mechanism is proposed. The smaller polypeptide represented an EIIA component of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system. Phospho-α-glucosidase and EIIA are encoded by genes at the LSEI_0369 (simA) and LSEI_0374 (simF) loci, respectively, in a block of seven genes comprising the sucrose isomer metabolism (sim) operon. Northern blot analyses provided evidence that three mRNA transcripts were up-regulated during logarithmic growth of L. casei ATCC 334 on sucrose isomers. Internal simA and simF gene probes hybridized to ∼1.5- and ∼1.3-kb transcripts, respectively. A 6.8-kb mRNA transcript was detected by both probes, which was indicative of cotranscription of the entire sim operon.
PTSD and Suicides Among Veterans—Recent Findings

The mental health of military personnel returning from war is an issue of profound social, ethical, and economic consequence. This article reviews recent literature from academic journals, government agencies, and think tanks related to veterans’ PTSD and suicides. The review finds that most studies identify clear linkages between PTSD, suicide, and military service. The conceptual frameworks of utilitarianism and deontology are presented as two viable ethical frameworks for assessing veteran mental health policies. Practical considerations of national security as well as categorical principles are presented as useful lenses to assess the ethicality of policy.
Exciton dispersion in molecular solids

The investigation of the exciton dispersion (i.e. the exciton energy dependence as a function of the momentum carried by the electron–hole pair) is a powerful approach to identify the exciton character, ranging from the strongly localised Frenkel to the delocalised Wannier–Mott limiting cases. We illustrate this possibility at the example of four prototypical molecular solids (picene, pentacene, tetracene and coronene) on the basis of the parameter-free solution of the many-body Bethe–Salpeter equation. We discuss the mixing between Frenkel and charge-transfer excitons and the origin of their Davydov splitting in the framework of many-body perturbation theory and establish a link with model approaches based on molecular states. Finally, we show how the interplay between the electronic band dispersion and the exchange electron–hole interaction plays a fundamental role in setting the nature of the exciton. This analysis has a general validity holding also for other systems in which the electron wavefunctions are strongly localized, as in strongly correlated insulators.
Monitoring System for Personal Property

The personal property such as computers and vehicles are facing serious security matters because robbery cases are increasing in a quick rate. Many existing protection systems provide solutions to the issues of security and the anti-robberies. However, they require special equipments such as a high resolution camera. This study proposes a personal property monitoring system (PPMS) that aims to protect personal possessions. Our system is able to determine, categorize and track any object using simple webcam. Furthermore, PPMS use Multi-levels detection algorithm with three level of protection (low, Middle, and high). The implementation is carried out using Java programming language and the result of usability testing shows that 90% of the participants found the system usable.
FINAL ACCEPTED VERSION THE CATABOLIC ACTION OF INSULIN IN RAT ARCUATE NUCLEUS IS NOT ENHANCED BY EXOGENOUS ‘ TUB ’ EXPRESSION

The central nervous system (CNS) protein ‘tub’ has been identified from the genetically obese ‘tubby’ mouse. While the native function of ‘tub’ in situ is not understood, cellbased studies suggest that one of its roles may be as an intracellular signaling target for insulin. In normal animals, insulin acts at the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus to regulate energy balance. Here we used a Herpes Simplex viral expression system to evaluate whether ‘tub’ overexpression in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of normal rats enhances this action of insulin. In chow-fed rats, ‘tub’ overexpression had no effect on insulin action. In rats fed a high fat diet snack in addition to chow, simulating the diet of Westernized societies, the body weight regulatory action of insulin was impaired, and ‘tub’ overexpression further impaired insulin action. Thus, an excess of ‘tub’ at the arcuate nucleus does not enhance the in vivo effectiveness of insulin, and is not able to compensate for the ‘downstream’ consequences of a high fat diet to impair CNS body weight regulatory mechanisms.
Femoral Neck Version Affects Medial Femorotibial Loading

The aim of this study was to provide a preliminary evaluation of the possible effect that femoral version may have on the bearing equilibrium conditions developed on the medial tibiofemoral compartment. A digital 3D solid model of the left physiological adult femur was used to create morphological variations of different neck-shaft angles (varus 115, normal 125, and valgus 135 degrees) and version angles (−10, 0, and +10 degrees). By means of finite element modeling and analysis techniques (FEM-FEA), a virtual experiment was executed with the femoral models aligned in a neutral upright position, distally supported on a fully congruent tibial tray and proximally loaded with a vertical only hip joint load of 2800 N. Equivalent stresses and their distribution on the medial compartment were computed and comparatively evaluated. Within our context, the neck-shaft angle proved to be of rather indifferent influence. Reduction of femoral version, however, appeared as the most influencing parameter regarding the tendency of the medial compartment to establish its bearing equilibrium towards posteromedial directions, as a consequence of the corresponding anteroposterior changes of the hip centre over the horizontal tibiofemoral plane. We found a correlation between femoral anteversion and medial tibiofemoral compartment contact pressure. Our findings will be further elucidated by more sophisticated FEM-FEA and by clinical studies that are currently planned.
Dynamical Blueprints for Galaxies

We present an axisymmetric, equilibrium model for late-type galaxies which consists of an exponential disk, a Sérsic bulge, and a cuspy dark halo. The model is specified by a phase-space distribution function which, in turn, depends on the integrals of motion. Bayesian statistics and the Markov chain Monte Carlo method are used to tailor the model to satisfy observational data and theoretical constraints. By way of example, we construct a chain of 105 models for the Milky Way designed to fit a wide range of photometric and kinematic observations. From this chain, we calculate the probability distribution function of important Galactic parameters such as the Sérsic index of the bulge, the disk scale length, and the disk, bulge, and halo masses. We also calculate the probability distribution function of the local dark matter velocity dispersion and density, two quantities of paramount significance for terrestrial dark matter detection experiments. Although the Milky Way models in our chain all satisfy the prescribed observational constraints, they vary considerably in key structural parameters and therefore respond differently to nonaxisymmetric perturbations. We simulate the evolution of 25 models which have different Toomre Q and Goldreich-Tremaine X parameters. Virtually all of these models form a bar, although some more quickly than others. The bar pattern speeds are ~40-50 km s−1 kpc−1 at the time when they form and then decrease, presumably due to coupling of the bar with the halo. Since the Galactic bar has a pattern speed ~50 km s−1 kpc−1, we conclude that it must have formed recently.

Integrating Bayesian networks and Simpson's paradox in data mining

This paper proposes to integrate two very different kinds of methods for data mining, namely the construction of Bayesian networks from data and the detection of occurrences of Simpson’s paradox. The former aims at discovering potentially causal knowledge in the data, whilst the latter aims at detecting surprising patterns in he data. By integrating these two kinds of methods we can hopefully discover patterns which are more likely to be useful to the user, a challenging data mining goal which is under-explored in the literature. The proposed integration method involves two approaches. The first approach uses the detection of occurrences of Simpson’s paradox as a preprocessing for a more effective construction of Bayesian networks; whilst the second approach uses the construction of a Bayesian network from data as a preprocessing for the detection of occurrences of Simpson’s paradox.
Critical analysis of DBSCAN variations

DBSCAN is a widely used technique for clustering in spatial databases. DBSCAN needs less knowledge of input parameters. Major advantage of DBSCAN is to identify arbitrary shape objects and removal of noise during the clustering process. Beside its familiarity, DBSCAN has problems with handling large databases and in worst case its complexity reaches to O(n2). Similarly, DBSCAN cannot produce correct result on varied densities. Some variations are proposed to DBSCAN, to show its working in some other domains. In this paper we surveyed some important techniques in which original DBSCAN is modified or enhanced with improvement in complexity or result improvement on varied densities. We define criteria and analyse these variations with complexity (time and space) and output to the original DBSCAN algorithm. We also compare these variations with one another to select the efficient algorithm. In most of the variations partitioning and hybrid methodologies are originated to deal DBSCAN problems. We concluded with some variations which perform better than other variation over defined criteria (objectives).
Effects of different lower-limb sensory stimulation strategies on postural regulation—A systematic review and meta-analysis

Systematic reviews of balance control have tended to only focus on the effects of single lower-limb stimulation strategies, and a current limitation is the lack of comparison between different relevant stimulation strategies. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine evidence of effects of different lower-limb sensory stimulation strategies on postural regulation and stability. Moderate- to high- pooled effect sizes (Unbiased (Hedges’ g) standardized mean differences (SMD) = 0.31–0.66) were observed with the addition of noise in a Stochastic Resonance Stimulation Strategy (SRSS), in three populations (i.e., healthy young adults, older adults, and individuals with lower-limb injuries), and under different task constraints (i.e., unipedal, bipedal, and eyes open). A Textured Material Stimulation Strategy (TMSS) enhanced postural control in the most challenging condition—eyes-closed on a stable surface (SMD = 0.61), and in older adults (SMD = 0.30). The Wearable Garments Stimulation Strategy (WGSS) showed no or adverse effects (SMD = -0.68–0.05) under all task constraints and in all populations, except in individuals with lower-limb injuries (SMD = 0.20). Results of our systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that future research could consider combining two or more stimulation strategies in intervention treatments for postural regulation and balance problems, depending on individual needs.

Education and quality teachers are important in Indonesia, because the quality of special-ed teacher who was instrumental in improving the quality of students. This study aims to illustrate the condition of subjective well-being (SWB) in the special-ed teacher. The study involved 22 special-ed teacher sections B and C Bagaskara Sragen. Research methods using descriptive quantitative approach to data analysis using Crosstab analysis. As a method of support do interviews and observations in the field prior to the study. The results showed that the SWB condition cannot be determined time of work from teachers. Where the Subjective well-being (SWB) in overall teacher is at high categorization. There are a number of environmental factors that can affect the condition of individual SWB, among other things: autonomy, self-control and have an understanding of self, environmental mastery, purpose in life, positive relations (warm) with others and self-acceptance.
Stable-Isotope Probing of Microorganisms Thriving at Thermodynamic Limits: Syntrophic Propionate Oxidation in Flooded Soil

ABSTRACT Propionate is an important intermediate of the degradation of organic matter in many anoxic environments. In methanogenic environments, due to thermodynamic constraints, the oxidation of propionate requires syntrophic cooperation of propionate-fermenting proton-reducing bacteria and H2-consuming methanogens. We have identified here microorganisms that were active in syntrophic propionate oxidation in anoxic paddy soil by rRNA-based stable-isotope probing (SIP). After 7 weeks of incubation with [13C]propionate (<10 mM) and the oxidation of ∼30 μmol of 13C-labeled substrate per g dry weight of soil, we found that archaeal nucleic acids were 13C labeled to a larger extent than those of the bacterial partners. Nevertheless, both terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism and cloning analyses revealed Syntrophobacter spp. , Smithella spp. , and the novel Pelotomaculum spp. to predominate in “heavy” 13C-labeled bacterial rRNA, clearly showing that these were active in situ in syntrophic propionate oxidation. Among the Archaea, mostly Methanobacterium and Methanosarcina spp. and also members of the yet-uncultured “rice cluster I” lineage had incorporated substantial amounts of 13C label, suggesting that these methanogens were directly involved in syntrophic associations and/or thriving on the [13C]acetate released by the syntrophs. With this first application of SIP in an anoxic soil environment, we were able to clearly demonstrate that even guilds of microorganisms growing under thermodynamic constraints, as well as phylogenetically diverse syntrophic associations, can be identified by using SIP. This approach holds great promise for determining the structure and function relationships of further syntrophic or other nutritional associations in natural environments and for defining metabolic functions of yet-uncultivated microorganisms.
Frontal Cortex Mediates Unconsciously Triggered Inhibitory Control

To further our understanding of the function of conscious experience we need to know which cognitive processes require awareness and which do not. Here, we show that an unconscious stimulus can trigger inhibitory control processes, commonly ascribed to conscious control mechanisms. We combined the metacontrast masking paradigm and the Go/No-Go paradigm to study whether unconscious No-Go signals can actively trigger high-level inhibitory control processes, strongly associated with the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Behaviorally, unconscious No-Go signals sometimes triggered response inhibition to the level of complete response termination and yielded a slow down in the speed of responses that were not inhibited. Electroencephalographic recordings showed that unconscious No-Go signals elicit two neural events: (1) an early occipital event and (2) a frontocentral event somewhat later in time. The first neural event represents the visual encoding of the unconscious No-Go stimulus, and is also present in a control experiment where the masked stimulus has no behavioral relevance. The second event is unique to the Go/No-Go experiment, and shows the subsequent implementation of inhibitory control in the PFC. The size of the frontal activity pattern correlated highly with the impact of unconscious No-Go signals on subsequent behavior. We conclude that unconscious stimuli can influence whether a task will be performed or interrupted, and thus exert a form of cognitive control. These findings challenge traditional views concerning the proposed relationship between awareness and cognitive control and stretch the alleged limits and depth of unconscious information processing.
Transport Properties of Melanosomes along Microtubules Interpreted by a Tug-of-War Model with Loose Mechanical Coupling

In this work, we explored theoretically the transport of organelles driven along microtubules by molecular motors of opposed polarities using a stochastic model that considers a Langevin dynamics for the cargo, independent cargo-motor linkers and stepping motion for the motors. It has been recently proposed that the stiffness of the motor plays an important role when multiple motors collectively transport a cargo. Therefore, we considered in our model the recently reported values for the stiffness of the cargo-motor linker determined in living cells (∼0.01 pN/nm, [1]) which is significantly lower than the motor stiffness obtained in in vitro assays and used in previous studies. Our model could reproduce the multimodal velocity distributions and typical trajectory characteristics including the properties of the reversions in the overall direction of motion observed during melanosome transport along microtubules in Xenopus laevis melanophores. Moreover, we explored the contribution of the different motility states of the cargo-motor system to the different modes of the velocity distributions and could identify the microscopic mechanisms of transport leading to trajectories compatible with those observed in living cells. Finally, by changing the attachment and detachment rates, the model could reproduce the different velocity distributions observed during melanosome transport along microtubules in Xenopus laevis melanophores stimulated for aggregation and dispersion. Our analysis suggests that active tug-of-war processes with loose mechanical coupling can account for several aspects of cargo transport along microtubules in living cells.
