GLOBAL GENERAL RELATIVISTIC MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC SIMULATIONS OF BLACK HOLE ACCRETION FLOWS: A CONVERGENCE STUDY

Global, general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of non-radiative, magnetized disks are widely used to model accreting black holes. We have performed a convergence study of GRMHD models computed with HARM3D. The models span a factor of four in linear resolution, from 96 × 96 × 64 to 384 × 384 × 256. We consider three diagnostics of convergence: (1) dimensionless shell-averaged quantities such as plasma β; (2) the azimuthal correlation length of fluid variables; and (3) synthetic spectra of the source including synchrotron emission, absorption, and Compton scattering. Shell-averaged temperature is, except for the lowest resolution run, nearly independent of resolution; shell-averaged plasma β decreases steadily with resolution but shows signs of convergence. The azimuthal correlation lengths of density, internal energy, and temperature decrease steadily with resolution but show signs of convergence. In contrast, the azimuthal correlation length of magnetic field decreases nearly linearly with grid size. We argue by analogy with local models, however, that convergence should be achieved with another factor of two in resolution. Synthetic spectra are, except for the lowest resolution run, nearly independent of resolution. The convergence behavior is consistent with that of higher physical resolution local model (“shearing box”) calculations and with the recent non-relativistic global convergence studies of Hawley et al.
Protein Kinase A in the Pedunculopontine Tegmental Nucleus of Rat Contributes to Regulation of Rapid Eye Movement Sleep

Intracellular signaling mechanisms within the pedunculopontine tegmental (PPT) nucleus for the regulation of recovery rapid eye movement (REM) sleep following REM sleep deprivation remain unknown. This study was designed to determine the role of PPT intracellular cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (cAMP-PKA) in the regulation of recovery REM sleep in freely moving rats. The results show that a brief period (3 h) of selective REM sleep deprivation caused REM sleep rebound associated with increased PKA activity and expression of the PKA catalytic subunit protein (PKA-CU) in the PPT. Local application of a cAMP-PKA-activation-selective inhibitor, RpCAMPS (0.55, 1.1, and 2.2 nmol/100 nl; n = 8 rats/group), bilaterally into the PPT, reduced PKA activity and PKA-CU expression in the PPT, and suppressed the recovery REM sleep, in a dose-dependent manner. Regression analyses revealed significant positive relationships between: PPT levels of PKA activity and the total percentages of REM sleep recovery (Rsqr = 0.944; n = 40 rats); PPT levels of PKA-CU expression and the total percentages of REM sleep recovery (Rsqr = 0.937; n = 40 rats); PPT levels of PKA-CU expression and PKA activity (Rsqr = 0.945; n = 40 rats). Collectively, these results provide evidence that activation of intracellular PKA in the PPT contributes to REM sleep recovery following REM sleep deprivation.
Effect of N-Acetyltransferase 2 Polymorphism on Tumor Target Tissue DNA Adduct Levels in Rapid and Slow Acetylator Congenic Rats Administered 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine or 2-Amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo-[4,5-f]quinoxaline

2-Amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo-[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) are suspected human carcinogens generated in well done meats. After N-hydroxylation, they are O-acetylated by N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) to electrophiles that form DNA adducts. dG-C8-MeIQx and dG-C8-PhIP adducts have been identified in human tissues. In the female rat, administration of PhIP leads to mammary and colon tumors, whereas MeIQx induces liver tumors. Both humans and rats exhibit NAT2 genetic polymorphism yielding rapid and slow acetylator phenotypes. Because O-acetylation is an activation pathway, we hypothesized that MeIQx- and PhIP-induced DNA damage would be greater in tumor target tissues and higher in rapid than slow NAT2 acetylators. Adult female rapid and slow acetylator rats congenic at the Nat2 locus received a single dose of 25 mg/kg MeIQx or 50 mg/kg PhIP by gavage, and tissue DNA was isolated after 24 h. Deoxyribonucleoside adducts were identified and quantified by capillary liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry using isotope dilution methods with deuterated internal standards. Major adducts were those bound to the C8 position of deoxyguanosine. dG-C8-PhIP DNA adducts were highest in colon, lowest in liver and did not significantly differ between rapid and slow acetylator congenic rats in any tissue tested. In contrast, dG-C8-MeIQx adducts were highest in liver and significantly (p < 0.001) higher in rapid acetylator liver than in slow acetylator liver. Our results are consistent with the tumor target specificity of PhIP and MeIQx and with increased susceptibility to MeIQx-induced liver tumors in rapid NAT2 acetylators.
PERTURBATIVE QUANTUM GAUGE FIELDS ON THE NONCOMMUTATIVE TORUS

Using standard field theoretical techniques, we survey pure Yang–Mills theory on the noncommutative torus, including Feynman rules and BRS symmetry. Although in general free of any infrared singularity, the theory is ultraviolet divergent. Because of an invariant regularization scheme, this theory turns out to be renormalizable and the detailed computation of the one-loop counterterms is given, leading to an asymptotically free theory. Besides, it turns out that nonplanar diagrams are overall convergent when θ is irrational.
Macronutrients and colorectal cancer: a Swiss case-control study.

BACKGROUND A role of energy and various nutrients, including protein, sugar, saturated and unsaturated fats, in colorectal cancer risk has been suggested, but should be better defined. PATIENTS AND METHODS The association between dietary intake of various macronutrients and colorectal cancer risk was analysed using data from a case-control study conducted between 1992 and 2000 in the Swiss Canton of Vaud. The study comprised 286 case subjects (174 males, 112 females; median age 65 years) with incident, histologically confirmed colon (n = 149) or rectal (n = 137) cancer, and 550 control subjects (269 males, 281 females; median age 59 years) admitted to the same University Hospital for a wide spectrum of acute non-neoplastic conditions. Dietary habits were investigated using a validated food frequency questionnaire, including questions on 79 foods or recipes and on individual fat intake pattern. Multivariate odds ratios (OR) were obtained after allowance for age, sex, education, physical activity and energy intake. RESULTS The risk of colon and rectal cancer increased with total energy intake (OR in highest and lowest tertile, 2.0 and 2.2, respectively). There was no significant relation with starches or proteins, a significant inverse relation with sugars (OR for the highest tertile, 0.5), a direct trend in risk of borderline significance for saturated fats (OR = 1.4 for the highest tertile), and significant inverse trends for monounsaturated (OR = 0.6) and polyunsaturated fats (OR = 0.6). CONCLUSIONS These findings confirm that energy intake is directly related to colorectal cancer risk, and that different types of fat may have different roles in colorectal carcinogenesis.
An interpretative phenomenological investigation of dementia from the perspective of families and system caregivers: stigma, traumatic loss, psychological growth, and relational social engagement (RSE)

Scope: Few studies have investigated distinctive interpersonal characteristics of retained awareness and social engagement observed when individuals at different stages of dementia interact with their family members. Influencing this relational engagement are the subjective interpretations of family caregivers as they experience: (1) the fluctuating psychosocial landscape of dementia pre and post aged-care; (2) perceived psychological consequences of supporting a family member with dementia; (3) the transition to, and navigation of a hierarchical health care system. Additionally, few studies explore the subjective interpretations of health care managers working in dementia including: (1) their perception of their work role; (2) how they interpret the impact of such work on their own psychological wellbeing; and, (3) how they position themselves as witnesses within a health care system that impacts, often authoritatively, on family relationships. Therefore, this thesis is concerned with the relational, psychosocial, and systemic domains of experiencing dementia. The triad of subjective expertise in experiencing dementia, and the relational and social engagement that occurs within this triad, underpins this research document. It seeks to advance our understanding of relational and social engagement throughout the stages of dementia, and inform models of care for optimising that engagement. Objectives: All who experience dementia, either through a diagnosis of dementia, or as a supporting family member or professional caregiver, are vulnerable to psychological distress from chronic and cumulative challenges to their psychological wellbeing. Therefore, this phenomenological interpretative thesis sought the subjective
Near-Well Reservoir Monitoring Through Ensemble Kalman Filter

In the management of reservoirs it is an important issue to utilize the available data in order to make accurate forecasts. In this paper a novel approach for frequent updating of the near-well reservoir model as new measurements becomes available is presented. The main focus of this approach is to have an updated model usable for forecasting. These forecasts should have initial values that are consistent with recent measurements. The novel approach is based on utilizing a Kalman filter technique. The idea behind the Kalman filter is to incorporate the information from the measurements into the current estimate of the state of the model, taking into account the uncertainty that belongs both to the state of the model and the measurements. The uncertainty of the model is updated simultaneously with the model itself. A benefit of this approach compared to usual history matching is that the initial values for the forecasts will be in better agreement with the current measurements. Originally, the Kalman filter had shortcomings for large, non-linear models. During the last decade, however, Kalman filter techniques has been further developed, and applied successfully for such models within oceanographic and hydrodynamic application. This work is based on use of the ensemble Kalman filter. The ensemble Kalman filter is easy to impl ement, and have some good properties for non-linear problems. Here, we demonstrate the use of this technique within nearwell reservoir monitoring, focusing on its performance in forecasting the future production.
Personal, Situational and Socio-Cultural Factors as Correlates of Intimates Partner Abuse in Nigeria

Abstract This study investigated the relationships among personal, situational, and socio-cultural factors and intimate partner abuse among couples. A multiple regression statistical procedure was employed in analyzing the data collected from 200 participants randomly selected from five ministries in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Results obtained indicated that the three variables when combined effectively predicted intimate partner abuse. Taken separately, situational and socio-cultural factors did not. On the basis of these findings it was suggested that counseling psychologists should design intervention strategies to promote life-skills training in schools and out-of-school settings. These include age-appropriate content on sexuality, conflict resolution, building healthy relationships and personal safety. Also it was suggested that couples should be educated on the long-term health and social consequences of physical and sexual abuse.
Valarie Zeithaml: autobiographical reflections

Purpose By examining my personal development and career trajectory, I hope to share some insights into life as an academic. My particular path has contained, as most paths do, twists and turns. As I look back, they all seem somehow related to each other, but they were not all planned. Design/methodology/approach I will discuss my life and career in chronological order, then reflect on my career and research philosophy. I will also discuss several of my most cited articles and how they emerged. Findings I emphasize research that is both academically rigorous and relevant to business. I also show that passion for a subject, even one that is risky and not encouraged by others, has resulted in lifelong interest and inspiration for me. While not appropriate for all because of the risk, I found it worth taking a chance, largely because I was highly inspired by the subject. Practical implications Research that is programmatic has benefits because it allows a scholar to own an area. Also, working with the right co-author teams – sometimes ones where different talents are distributed across the team is effective. Originality/value The story and opinions are mine alone.
Moisture contribution of the Atlantic Warm Pool to precipitation: a Lagrangian analysis

In this work we use a Lagrangian model (FLEXPART) to investigate the contribution of moisture from the Atlantic Warm Pool (AWP) to the atmospheric hydrological budget during the period from 1982 to 1999, and to identify which regions are affected by the moisture transport from this source. FLEXPART computes budgets of evaporation minus precipitation by calculating changes in the specific humidity along 10-day forward trajectories. A monthly analysis was made for May-October, the typical development period of the AWP. Climatologically, the moisture transported from the AWP to North and Central America increases from June onwards. Humidity is also transported towards western Europe from July to October, probably favoured by the positioning of the North Atlantic Subtropical High and its associated flows. The largest moisture sinks associated with transport from the AWP were found from August to October, when the warm pool can extend to the north-western coast of Africa. The technique of composites was used to analyse how the interannual variability of moisture contribution from the AWP depends on changes in the pool’s areal extension, and on the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The results indicate that during episodes when the AWP is at its maximum extent, its moisture contribution increased to the Caribbean, to the region of the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), and to the North Atlantic. By contrast, less moisture was transported to southeastern North America during July and August, or to central North America during September and October. The differences in moisture sink regions for extreme ENSO episodes suggest that there are favoured sinks in the Caribbean and in the ITCZ region during La Nina events.
Equity Returns and Inflation: The Puzzlingly Long Lags

This paper examines data for stock prices and price levels of 14 developed countries during the post-WWII era and compares their behavior in that sample with behavior over the past two centuries in the UK and the US. Contrary to much of the literature of the past several decades, we find that nominal equity prices do, in fact, keep pace with movements in the overall price level. Our results suggest, however, that this is only the case over long periods. The puzzle therefore is not that equities fail the test as inflation hedges, as had been quite widely believed, but that they take so long to pass.
Mechanism of Action of Bortezomib and the New Proteasome Inhibitors on Myeloma Cells and the Bone Microenvironment: Impact on Myeloma-Induced Alterations of Bone Remodeling

Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by a high capacity to induce alterations in the bone remodeling process. The increase in osteoclastogenesis and the suppression of osteoblast formation are both involved in the pathophysiology of the bone lesions in MM. The proteasome inhibitor (PI) bortezomib is the first drug designed and approved for the treatment of MM patients by targeting the proteasome. However, recently novel PIs have been developed to overcome bortezomib resistance. Interestingly, several preclinical data indicate that the proteasome complex is involved in both osteoclast and osteoblast formation. It is also evident that bortezomib either inhibits osteoclast differentiation induced by the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL) or stimulates the osteoblast differentiation. Similarly, the new PIs including carfilzomib and ixazomib can inhibit bone resorption and stimulate the osteoblast differentiation. In a clinical setting, PIs restore the abnormal bone remodeling by normalizing the levels of bone turnover markers. In addition, a bone anabolic effect was described in responding MM patients treated with PIs, as demonstrated by the increase in the osteoblast number. This review summarizes the preclinical and clinical evidence on the effects of bortezomib and other new PIs on myeloma bone disease.
PERSONALITY PROCESSES AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES How Should Multifaceted Personality Constructs Be Tested ? Issues Illustrated by Self-Monitoring , Attributional Style , and Hardiness

Two or more dimensions unintentionally varied simultaneously are said to be confounded, but several theories in personality intentionally combine 3 or more distinct qualities. Researchers using these theories sum the qualities before testing predictions. How wise is this practice? The practice appears to derive from 2 distinct lines of reasoning. One of them assumes that the component dimensions converge on a single underlying quality (latent variable) that each reflects imperfectly. The other assumes a synergy among dimensions. Issues arising from each line of reasoning are illustrated by examining self-monitoring, attributional style, and hardiness. Conclusions are that (a) information is lost whenever a latent variable theory is tested solely by a composite and (b) a synergistic theory can be tested only through a statistical interaction.
Qualitative Exploration of Sexual Experiences Among Adults on the Autism Spectrum: Implications for Sex Education.

CONTEXT The increasing prevalence of autism since the 1990s has led to growing demand for sex education that meets the needs of persons on the autism spectrum. Yet there is a dearth of research documenting the firsthand experiences and perspectives of autistic individuals. METHODS A thematic analysis was conducted of in-depth, Internet-facilitated interviews with 24 adults on the autism spectrum who were recruited from Internet community spaces between November 2012 and May 2013. Inclusion criteria were self-identification as a person on the autism spectrum, being a U.S. resident, being aged 18 or older, and having the ability to communicate orally or through writing. RESULTS Participants were aged 18-61 and were living in the community at the time of interview, most with limited extrafamilial support. They were less likely than the general population to be heterosexual or gender-conforming and were more likely to have experienced romantic or sexual debut after age 18. Participants' most common concerns were courtship difficulties and sensory dysregulation in the context of partnered sexuality. These concerns were exacerbated by inadequate and inappropriate sex education experiences. Participants addressed challenges by using sensory barriers (e.g., latex gloves); planning when and how to have sex; negotiating alternatives to sexual scripts predicated on nondisabled experience; and practicing explicit and intentional communication. CONCLUSIONS Individuals on the autism spectrum would benefit from sex education that normalizes differences (e.g., in identities and experiences of sexuality), is offered throughout young adulthood, addresses disability-relevant sensory and communication needs, and includes practicing neurotypical sociosexual norms.
Promoting pro-social behavior with public statements of good intent

Voluntary and compulsory (but rarely enforced) public statements of good intent are frequently observed in the real world, as for example the `Banker's oath', the 'Hippocratic oath' or the requirement of many academic journals for authors to affirm that research was carried out ethically. In this study we investigate what effect such public statements have on contribution behavior in a public goods experiment. We argue that compliance with professional conduct can be seen as a public good and public statements of good intent can therefore be a low-cost policy intervention to foster contributions for the public good. Using a 'between-within subjects design' we identify three channels by which non-enforceable statements of intent are associated with higher levels of contributions to the public good. First, in a selection effect, socially-oriented participants are more likely in the experiment to make a public statement. Second, in a commitment effect, participants who make a public statement are contributing more to the public good. Third, in a coordination effect, aggregate contributions are higher when 'Statement-Makers' observe that also other group members make the statement. The latter explains why compulsory statements of good intent are more effective over time.
