When do Original Movies Dominate Sequels? The Moderating Effects of Film Types and Product Knowledge

Using several quasi-experimental designs with 280 participants from Taiwan, this study explores how and when original movies can dominate sequels, based on analogy learning theory. When a consumer's purchase decision reflects greater product knowledge, the preference for original movies dominates the preference for sequels such that other original movies are preferred over the sequel to a known original film. Extending the research to different types of sequels, this study reveals that numbered sequels achieve greater familiarity effects than name-based sequels on judgment and a sense of connection, but not preferences.
Free troposphere as a major source of CCN for the equatorial pacific boundary layer : long-range transport and teleconnections

Airborne aerosol measurements in the central equatorial Pacific during PASE (Pacific Atmospheric Sulfur Experiment) revealed that cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activated in marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds were strongly influenced by entrainment from the free troposphere (FT). About 65 % entered at sizes effective as CCN in MBL clouds, while∼ 25 % entered the MBL too small to activate but subsequently grew via gas to particle conversion. The remaining∼ 10 % were inferred to be sea salt aerosol. FT aerosols at low carbon monoxide (CO) mixing ratios (< 63 ppbv) were mostly volatile at 360 C with a number mode peak of around 30–40 nm dry diameter and tended to be associated with cloud outflow from distant (3000 km or more) deep convection. Higher CO concentrations were commonly associated with trajectories from South America and the Amazon region (ca. 10 000 km away) and occurred in layers indicative of combustion sources (biomass burning season) partially scavenged by precipitation. These had number modes near 60–80 nm dry diameter with a large fraction of CCN.2 (those activated at 0.2 % supersaturation and representative of MBL clouds) prior to entrainment into the MBL. Flight averaged concentrations of CCN.2 were similar for measurements near the surface, below the inversion and in the FT just above the inversion, confirming that subsidence and entrainment of FT aerosol strongly influenced MBL CCN.2. Concurrent flight-to-flight variations of CCN.2 at all altitudes below 3 km also imply MBL CCN.2 concentrations were in quasi-equilibrium with the FT over a 2–3 day timescale. The observed FT tran port over thousands of kilometers indicates teleconnections between MBL CCN and cloudscavenged sources of both natural and/or residual combustion origin. Nonetheless, in spite of its importance, this source of CCN number is not well represented in most current models and is generally not detectabl by satellite because of the low aerosol scattering in su h layers as a result of cloud scavenging. In addition, our measurements confirm nucleation in the MBL was not evident during PASE and argue against a localized linear relation in the MBL between dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and CCN suggested by the CLAW hypothesis. However, when the FT is not impacted by longrange transport, sulfate aerosol derived from DMS pumped aloft in the ITCZ (Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone) can provide a source of CCN to the boundary layer via FT teleconnections involving more complex non-linear processes.
Sentiment Analysis Meets Semantic Analysis: Constructing Insight Knowledge Bases

Numerous Web 2.0 applications collect user opinions, and other user-generated content in the form of product reviews, discussion boards, and blogs, which are often captured as unstructured data. Text mining techniques are important for analyzing users’ opinions (sentiment analysis) and identifying topics of interest (semantic analysis). However, little work has been carried out that combines semantics with user’s sentiments. This research proposes a Sentiment-Semantic Framework that incorporates results from both semantic and sentiment analysis to construct a knowledge base of insights gained from integrating the information extracted from each type of analysis. To evaluate the framework, a prototype is developed and applied to two different domains (e-commerce and politics) and the resulting insight knowledge bases constructed.
Light microscope study of the coexistence of GABA‐like and glycine‐like immunoreactivities in the spinal cord of the rat

The distributions of GABA‐like and glycine‐like immunoreactivities in the rat spinal cord were compared by using postembedding immunohistochemistry on semithin sections. In laminae I, II, and III, the proportions of GABA immunoreactive cells were 28%, 31%, and 46%, respectively, whereas for glycine immunoreactive cells the proportions were 9%,14%, and 30% Nearly all of the glycine immunoreactive cells in this area were also immunoreactive with the anti‐GABA antiserum. In lamina II, some Golgi‐stained islet cells were glycine immunoreactive, whereas others were not.
A New Visual Aesthetic Sensitivity Test: III. Cross-Cultural Comparison between Hong Kong Children and Adults, and English and Japanese Samples

The Visual Aesthetic Sensitivity Test was applied to 287 male and 252 female Hong Kong children of Chinese extraction, aged from 7 yr. upwards, and to 58 adult males and 144 adult females. Their responses were compared with those of English and Japanese children and adults, and somewhat lower scores recorded for the Hong Kong children and adults. A group of German girls were also tested. Difficulty levels for the items were not dissimilar to those observed in England and Japan.
PENINGKATAN PENGUASAAN KONSEP SISWA MELALUI PEMBELAJARAN ARGUMENT DRIVEN INQUIRY PADA PEMBELAJARAN IPA TERPADU DI SMP KELAS VII

Abstract Mastery of the concept of science which is still low in the schools is the joint work of practitioners of science education. Learning science should be based on the nature of science itself that is the process of investigating the nature around systematically, but it has not been done by the school because most of the learning is still in the form of direct transfer from teachers to students. Learning ADI (Argument Driven Inquiry) is seen to facilitate students to understand the concept of science as well. Research on the implementation of the ADI (Argument Driven Inquiry) to improve the mastery of concepts is done in junior high school students of class VII in one of the Junior High School in Garut district, with 66 students who were divided into two classes namely experimental class that implemented ADI (Argument Driven Inquiry) and the control class that used guided inquiry learning. The results showed Application Inquiry Driven Argument learning model can significantly improve students' mastery of concepts than learning with guided inquiry. The cognitive aspect which aspect is the most improved is C2 (understand) both in the classroom that uses the learning Argument Driven Inquiry as well as in the classroom using learning Inquiry guided, and mastery of concepts most improved is in matter convection either in class that used the learning Argument Driven Inquiry as well as in the classroom which used guided Inquiry learning. Abstrak Penguasaan konsep IPA yang masih rendah di sekolah-sekolah merupakan pekerjaan bersama dari praktisi pendidikan IPA. Pembelajaran IPA seharusnya dilakukan berdasarkan hakikat IPA itu sendiri yakni proses penyelidikan terhadap alam sekitar secara sistematis, namun hal ini belum banyak dilakukan oleh sekolah karena pembelajaran sebagian besar masih berupa transfer langsung dari guru pada siswa. Pembelajaran ADI (Argument Driven Inquiry) dipandang dapat memfasilitasi siswa untuk memahami konsep IPA secara baik. Penelitian mengenai implementasi ADI (Argument Driven Inquiry) dalam meningkatkan penguasaan konsep dilakukan pada siswa SMP kelas VII di salah satu SMP Negeri di kabupaten Garut terhadap 66 siswa yang dibagi ke dalam dua kelas yakni kelas eksperimen yang menerapkan ADI (Argument Driven Inquiry) dan kelas kontrol yang menggunakan pembelajaran inquiry terbimbing. Hasil penelitian menunjukan Penerapan model pembelajaran Argument Driven Inquiry secara signifikan dapat meningkatkan penguasaan konsep siswa dibandingkan pembelajaran dengan inquiry terbimbing. Aspek kognitif yang paling meningkat adalah aspek C2 (memahami) baik di kelas yang menggunakan pembelajaran Argument Driven Inquiry maupun di kelas yang menggunakan pembelajaran Inquiry terbimbing dan penguasaan konsep yang paling meningkat adalah pada materi konveksi baik di kelas yang menggunakan pembelajaran Argument Driven Inquiry maupun di kelas yang menggunakan pembelajaran Inquiry terbimbing.

Clinical aspects of narcolepsy-cataplexy across ethnic groups.

STUDY OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to compare severity and clinical presentation for narcolepsy-cataplexy across various ethnic groups. A large sample of narcoleptic patients was also used to further describe symptomatology and natural history for this sleep disorder. DESIGN Retrospective review of clinical data ascertained from the Stanford Sleep Inventory, polysomnography and MSLT data, as well as clinical notes. Ethnicity was narrowly defined as African (Black) Americans, Caucasians, Asians, and Latinos when both parents and the subject identified with a given ethnic group. SETTING N/A. PARTICIPANTS We compared the severity and clinical presentation of narcolepsy in 64 African Americans, 353 Caucasians, 32 Asians, 26 Latinos, and 9 subjects of mixed ethnicity. Subjects were recruited through the Stanford center for narcolepsy research. INTERVENTIONS N/A. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS A striking similarity in symptomatology, age of onset, and disease severity was found across ethnic groups. Mean age of onset for sleepiness, hypnagogic hallucinations, sleep paralysis and cataplexy were 19.20, 19.50, 20.11 and 23.02 years old. We also found that narcoleptic patients have slightly but significantly elevated body mass index relative to normative data (106.6% of matched controls, p<0.005) and are born slightly more frequently during the month of March. A tight correlation between our previously validated cataplexy scale and DQB1*0602 positivity was observed. Two thirds of patients reported having cataplexy with laughing, 92% of those being DQB1*0602 positive independent of ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS These results confirm the similarities in clinical presentation and natural history of narcolepsy-cataplexy in a large number of patients of various ethnic groups and cultural backgrounds.
No Prior Entry for Threat-Related Faces: Evidence from Temporal Order Judgments

Previous research showed that threat-related faces, due to their intrinsic motivational relevance, capture attention more readily than neutral faces. Here we used a standard temporal order judgment (TOJ) task to assess whether negative (either angry or fearful) emotional faces, when competing with neutral faces for attention selection, may lead to a prior entry effect and hence be perceived as appearing first, especially when uncertainty is high regarding the order of the two onsets. We did not find evidence for this conjecture across five different experiments, despite the fact that participants were invariably influenced by asynchronies in the respective onsets of the two competing faces in the pair, and could reliably identify the emotion in the faces. Importantly, by systematically varying task demands across experiments, we could rule out confounds related to suboptimal stimulus presentation or inappropriate task demands. These findings challenge the notion of an early automatic capture of attention by (negative) emotion. Future studies are needed to investigate whether the lack of systematic bias of attention by emotion is imputed to the primacy of a non-emotional cue to resolve the TOJ task, which in turn prevents negative emotion to exert an early bottom-up influence on the guidance of spatial and temporal attention.
Efficient Algorithms for Data Distribution on Distributed Memory Parallel Computers

Data distribution has been one of the most important research topics in parallelizing compilers for distributed memory parallel computers. Good data distribution schema should consider both the computation load balance and the communication overhead. In this paper, we show that data redistribution is necessary for executing a sequence of Do-loops if the communication cost due to performing this sequence of Do-loops is larger than a threshold value. Based on this observation, we can prune the searching space and derive efficient dynamic programming algorithms for determining effective data distribution schema to execute a sequence of Do-loops with a general structure. Experimental studies on a 32-node nCUBE-2 computer are also presented.
Mipomersen and other therapies for the treatment of severe familial hypercholesterolemia

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant condition with a population prevalence of one in 300–500 (heterozygous) that is characterized by high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, tendon xanthomata, and premature atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD). FH is caused mainly by mutations in the LDLR gene. However, mutations in other genes including APOB and PCSK9, can give rise to a similar phenotype. Homozygous FH with an estimated prevalence of one in a million is associated with severe hypercholesterolemia with accelerated atherosclerotic CHD in childhood and without treatment, death usually occurs before the age of 30 years. Current approaches for the treatment of homozygous FH include statin-based lipid-lowering therapies and LDL apheresis. Mipomersen is a second-generation antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) targeted to human apolipoprotein B (apoB)-100. This review provides an overview of the pathophysiology and current treatment options for familial hypercholesterolemia and describes novel therapeutic strategies focusing on mipomersen, an antisense apoB synthesis inhibitor. Mipomersen is distributed mainly to the liver where it silences apoB mRNA, thereby reducing hepatic apoB-100 and giving rise to reductions in plasma total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and apoB concentrations in a dose-and time-dependent manner. Mipomersen has been shown to decrease apoB, LDL-cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) in patients with heterozygous and homozygous FH on maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy. The short-term efficacy and safety of mipomersen has been established, however, injection site reactions are common and concern exists regarding the long-term potential for hepatic steatosis with this ASO. In summary, mipomersen given alone or in combination with standard lipid-lowering medications shows promise as an adjunct therapy in patients with homozygous or refractory heterozygous FH at high risk of atherosclerotic CHD, who are not at target or are intolerant of statins.
Harmonic morphisms between Weyl spaces and twistorial maps

We define, on smooth manifolds, the notions of almost twistorial structure and twistorial map, thus providing a unified framework for all known examples of twistor spaces. The condition of being harmonic morphisms naturally appears among the geometric properties of submersive twistorial maps between low-dimensional Weyl spaces endowed with a nonintegrable almost twistorial structure due to Eells and Salamon. This leads to the twistorial characterisation of harmonic morphisms between Weyl spaces of dimensions four and three. Also, we give a thorough description of the twistorial maps with one-dimensional fibres from four-dimensional Weyl spaces endowed with the almost twistorial structure of Eells and Salamon.
Comparison of Clinical Examination versus Whole-body Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Enthesitis in Patients with Early Axial Spondyloarthritis during 3 Years of Continuous Etanercept Treatment

Objective. To compare clinical examination versus whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) of enthesitis in patients with early axial spondyloarthritis during 3 years of continuous etanercept (ETN) treatment. Methods. Forty-one patients underwent clinical and WB-MRI examinations for enthesitis at baseline and after 2 and 3 years of treatment. Twenty-one sites were assessed in 4 anatomic regions — anterior chest wall, pelvis, knee, and foot. Results. Clinical examination at baseline detected enthesitis in 57% of the patients (85 lesions, mean 2.1 lesions, SD 2.9), most of them in the pelvis (42 lesions in 17 patients) and anterior chest wall (19 lesions in 10 patients). The proportion of patients with clinically detected enthesitis decreased to 19% at Year 2 (mean 0.5, SD 1.5) and 14% at Year 3 (mean 0.7, SD 1.8). WB-MRI detected enthesitis at baseline in 21% of patients (22 lesions, mean 0.5 lesions, SD 1.1), also most frequently in the pelvis (12 lesions) and anterior chest wall (7 lesions). MRI-positive enthesitis decreased to 13% at Year 2 (mean 0.2 lesions, SD 0.5) and 14% at Year 3 (mean 0.2 lesions, SD 0.5). There was positive correlation of clinical and MRI findings at baseline at the anterior chest wall (p = 0.001) and the pelvis (p = 0.0001). No correlation was found at the knee and foot at baseline and for all regions at followup. Conclusion. Both clinical examination and WB-MRI show a decrease in enthesitis after 2 and 3 years of ETN treatment, but correlation was limited to the pelvis and anterior chest wall at baseline.

At the 2003 AACN National Teaching Institute and Critical Care Exposition, in the Act Boldly Campaign, AACN called on critical care nurses to actively commit to addressing workplace issues in the nurses’ organizations. That same year, AACN conducted a national survey, part of which solicited more details on healthy and unhealthy work environments. AACN position papers were developed on prevention of violence in the workplace and on zero tolerance for abusive behaviors. In 2004, AACN completed the landmark National Critical Care Survey, the first survey to provide data on critical care units and the environments in which critical care nurses work. Before this study, little information specific to critical care environments was available. In January 2005, AACN published national standards for establishing and sustaining healthy work environments. Specifically, the standards address skilled communication, true collaboration, effective decision making, appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, and authentic leadership in the work environment. The standards complement and support the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses, the Institute of Medicine recommendations, the elements of a healthy work environment as determined by the Nursing Organizations Alliance, the recommendations from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, and Beth T.

Validation of Spore-Forming Organisms Recovery from Peroxygen-Based Disinfectants

Neutralization method evaluation is a crucial preliminary step in biocidal agent evaluation and environmental monitoring (EM) programs. In the present study, four commercial peroxygen/Ag + -based sporicidal disinfectants in pharmaceutical industry were tested against 3 spore-forming microorganisms (Aspergillus brasiliensis, Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii and Bacillus cereus). An in-house made neutralizing broth was used to dilute biocidal agents to 1:10 and 1:100 (v/v) dilutions. Disinfectant preparation, dilution and all other test conditions were performed under the laboratory conditions that simulated the working environment. Each of the neutralizer toxicity and efficiency was examined using the statistical comparison among three experimental groups viz: viability control, neutralizer toxicity and neutralizer efficacy. Different analysis criteria were investigated to compare the rate of success and failure of each replicate group for neutralizer efficacy (NE) and neutralizer toxicity (NT). Criteria of comparison were Harmonized Chapter USP , USP of 3 independent replicates recovery in agar medium and finally Sutton initial recovery criteria of ≥0.75 was applied followed by Dunnett's Multiple Comparison Test in case of suspect failure. These criteria were in agreement; where Bacillus cereus gave the highest rate of failure in neutralization study. Disinfectants Mil and Pury were the hardest to neutralize and Bacillus species were sensitive to them in the neutralization procedure. Bixco disinfectant was the most successfully neutralized at 1:10 dilution with the 3 organisms. The in-house made chemical neutralizer was effective in microbial spores' recovery from residual sporicidal biocides at 1:100. Thus, it is suitable to be incorporated in both EM media and sanitization program validation.
Cooperative Negotiation in Autonomic Systems using Incremental Utility Elicitation

Decentralized resource allocation is a key problem for large-scale autonomic (or self-managing) computing systems. Motivated by a data center scenario, we explore efficient techniques for resolving resource conflicts via cooperative negotiation. Rather than computing in advance the functional dependence of each element's utility upon the amount of resource it receives, which could be prohibitively expensive, each element's utility is elicited incrementally. Such incremental utility elicitation strategies require the evaluation of only a small set of sampled utility function points, yet they find near-optimal allocations with respect to a minimax regret criterion. We describe preliminary computational experiments that illustrate the benefit of our approach.
