The Community Climate System Model Version 4

AbstractThe fourth version of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM4) was recently completed and released to the climate community. This paper describes developments to all CCSM components, and documents fully coupled preindustrial control runs compared to the previous version, CCSM3. Using the standard atmosphere and land resolution of 1° results in the sea surface temperature biases in the major upwelling regions being comparable to the 1.4°-resolution CCSM3. Two changes to the deep convection scheme in the atmosphere component result in CCSM4 producing El Nino–Southern Oscillation variability with a much more realistic frequency distribution than in CCSM3, although the amplitude is too large compared to observations. These changes also improve the Madden–Julian oscillation and the frequency distribution of tropical precipitation. A new overflow parameterization in the ocean component leads to an improved simulation of the Gulf Stream path and the North Atlantic Ocean meridional overturning circulati.
Customer incivility and employee well-being: testing the moderating effects of meaning, perspective taking and transformational leadership†

ABSTRACT This study investigated factors that influence the relationship between experiencing customer incivility and the psychological well-being of employees in the service industry (N = 215). Using the cognitive appraisal theory of stress, we identified and tested three factors that may buffer employees from the negative effects of customer incivility: finding meaning in work, perspective taking, and transformational leadership of supervisors. Transformational leadership was found to moderate the relationship between customer incivility and employee well-being. Meaning and perspective taking did not moderate the relationship between customer incivility and employee well-being, but did have a positive association with employee well-being. These findings contribute to the literature on customer incivility and suggest that organization-based resources that influence both primary and secondary appraisal, such as transformational leadership, are useful in buffering the harmful employee outcomes related to customer incivility.
Incentivizing Multiple Revisions Improves Student Writing Without Increasing Instructor Workload

Previous research has shown that when students are required to submit a draft and a revision of their writing, large proportions of students do not improve across drafts. We implemented a writing assignment in which students were permitted to submit up to four optional drafts. To encourage substantive revisions, students were awarded additional points if they received all points on the grading rubric. Based on the grades of the instructors, 31% of students eventually earned perfect scores in this assignment, compared to 13% in a typical single revision assignment. Permitting students to submit up to four optional drafts resulted in nearly the same amount of grading for the instructor as requiring students to submit two drafts.
An Integrative Review of Youth Development Research in Selected United States Recreation Journals

Youth have been a focus of recreation and leisure programmers for over a century. During that time, assumptions have been made about the value of recreation for young people. More recently, a resurgence of interest has occurred related to positive youth development. The purpose of this paper is to describe the results of an integrative review done to examine research conducted with youth as a focal point in four prominent U.S. based recreation journals over the past 21 years (1985-2005). We sought to discern thematic patterns in topical areas and to review the approaches and methods used. Systematic content and thematic analyses of the Journal of Park and Recreation Administration, Therapeutic Recreation Journal, Leisure Sciences, and the Journal of Leisure Research were used. Findings showed that the research done about youth related to some aspect of recreation or leisure in the past ten years eclipsed what was done from 1985-1996. A variety of research methods were used with an equitable distribution of survey, literature reviews, experimental designs, and qualitative methods. The youth examined were primarily mixed gender groups, but boys were twice as likely to be studied as girls when single sex studies were undertaken. Most of the research was done with adolescent (ages 10-18 years) youth. Almost no research has been done in the recreation field related to early childhood (ages 1-4 years). The 11 major themes or topics that were studied in the past 21 years included: youth culture and leisure; leisure programming, treatment, and intervention; research, measurement, and evaluation; demographic factors; management, administration, and policy of youth programs; benefits of leisure for youth; youth and family leisure; recreation settings and leisure spaces; risk behaviors and delinquency; human development and developmental issues; and social behavior. In the integrative review, the focus on benefits and accountability relative to youth programs was obvious. The parallels between social change and youth development were also evident in the review. Recommendations for future research include more evidence-based work that links the program or intervention directly to youth development outcomes, as well as a focus on emerging topics such as physical inactivity and obesity in children, the influence of television and technology in general, youth sport, and the relationships youth have with nature and the outdoors.
Abnormal inhibition of return: A review and new data on patients with parietal lobe damage

The study of the performance of patients with neurological disorders has been fruitful in revealing the nature and neural basis of inhibition of return (IOR). Thus, in recent years, studies have reported abnormal IOR in patients with Alzheimer's disease, patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, and brain-damaged patients. In the present study, we investigated the hypothesis that a spatial “disengagement deficit” (DD; Posner, Walker, Friedrich, & Rafal, 1984) contributed to the pattern of impaired IOR in the ipsilesional field of parietal patients, found in a previous work (Vivas, Humphreys, & Fuentes, 2003). In a first experiment, we replicated the attenuation of IOR for ipsilesional targets on those trials with a lateralized IOR procedure. With stimuli vertically aligned about fixation, we found intact IOR for both up and down targets. Most important, when we ameliorated the potential impact of a spatial DD by presenting both cues and target in the same hemifield, still we found impaired IOR in the ipsilesional field. We interpret these findings in terms of unilateral parietal damage leading to an imbalance of the relative salience of signals represented in a spatial map for directing attention.
Structural and functional insights into human vitamin K epoxide reductase and vitamin K epoxide reductase-like1

Abstract Human vitamin K epoxide reductase (hVKOR) is a small integral membrane protein involved in recycling vitamin K. hVKOR produces vitamin K hydroquinone, a crucial cofactor for γ-glutamyl carboxylation of vitamin K dependent proteins, which are necessary for blood coagulation. Because of this, hVKOR is the target of a common anticoagulant, warfarin. Spurred by the identification of the hVKOR gene less than a decade ago, there have been a number of new insights related to this protein. Nonetheless, there are a number of key issues that have not been resolved; such as where warfarin binds hVKOR, or if human VKOR shares the topology of the structurally characterized but distantly related prokaryotic VKOR. The pharmacogenetics and single nucleotide polymorphisms of hVKOR used in personalized medicine strategies for warfarin dosing should be carefully considered to inform the debate. The biochemical and cell biological evidence suggests that hVKOR has a distinct fold from its ancestral protein, though the controversy will likely remain until structural studies of hVKOR are accomplished. Resolving these issues should impact development of new anticoagulants. The paralogous human protein, VKOR-like1 (VKORL1) was recently shown to also participate in vitamin K recycling. VKORL1 was also recently characterized and assigned a functional role as a housekeeping protein involved in redox homeostasis and oxidative stress with a potential role in cancer regulation. As the physiological interplay between these two human paralogs emerge, the impacts could be significant in a number of diverse fields from coagulation to cancer.
Reverse remodelling induces progressive ventricular resynchronization after cardiac resynchronization therapy 'from vicious to virtuous cycle'.

AIMS Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can stop the vicious cycle resulting from dyssynchrony and generates left ventricular (LV) reverse remodelling. Our objective was to assess the time course and the relationship between improvement in LV dyssynchrony and reverse remodelling after CRT. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-four consecutive patients were evaluated before, immediately after, and 3- and 6 months after CRT. We measured LV volumes, ejection fraction (EF), and sphericity index, and dyssynchrony was assessed using speckle-tracking radial strain. Response was defined as a >15% decrease in end-systolic volume (ESV) 6 months after CRT, and event-free survival was followed for 24 months. Responders and non-responders had similar baseline LV volumes and EF. During the first and the following 3 months after CRT, LV volumes gradually decreased (end-diastolic volume: 195±73 to 164±60* to 129±51 mL†, ESV: 141±70 to 110±47* to 82±40 mL†), and sphericity index and EF progressively increased (sphericity index: 1.52±0.20 to 1.75±0.31* to 1.94±0.34†, EF: 28±7 to 34±7* to 38±8%†, *†P<0.001) in responders. No such changes were observed in non-responders. Furthermore, dyssynchrony diminished progressively during the first and the following 3 months after CRT and patients with progressive resynchronization experienced fewer major cardiovascular events than those without (P<0.001). CONCLUSION CRT can stop the vicious cycle of remodelling and dyssynchrony, and actually, turn it into the virtuous cycle of reverse remodelling and further resynchronization.
EXTRINSIC AND INTRINSIC SOURCES OF VARIATION IN PLASMA LIPID METABOLITES OF FREE-LIVING WESTERN SANDPIPERS (CALIDRIS MAURI)

Abstract Plasma lipid metabolites may be useful indicators of mass changes in migratory birds. To test utility of plasma metabolites in field studies, we examined effects of several extrinsic (bleed time, time of day, location) and intrinsic (body mass, sex, age, migratory state) factors on plasma concentrations of triglycerides (TRIG), glycerol (GLYC), and B-OH-butyrate (BUTY) in free-living Western Sandpipers (Calidris mauri). TRIG and GLYC decreased rapidly following capture (2–20 min), whereas BUTY did not change. GLYC and BUTY were negatively correlated to body mass. TRIG was positively correlated to body mass in migrant females, but not consistently in migrant males, or in females captured on the wintering grounds. Taking into account other sources of variation, the two measures of lipid utilization (GLYC and BUTY) varied little through the year. TRIG showed the greatest potential for use in field studies. TRIG was lowest during winter, when birds were leanest, and highest during spring and fall migration, when sandpipers were gaining mass rapidly at stopovers. TRIG differed between sandpipers refuelling a two stopover sites separated by 35 km, demonstrating that populations of birds can have characteristic lipid metabolite profiles that may reflect local differences in fattening rate.
What is the impact of osteoporosis education and bone mineral density testing for postmenopausal women in a managed care setting?

Objective To assess whether osteoporosis education, with and without bone mineral density (BMD) testing, increases the initiation of lifestyle changes and pharmaceutical treatment to prevent osteoporosis. Design A total of 508 women, aged 54–65, from a large managed care organization who were not on osteoporosis prevention therapy participated in an intervention study. Participants were randomly assigned to either an education class on osteoporosis (n = 301) or education plus BMD (n = 207). A control group of 187 women receiving no intervention were also surveyed to serve as comparison. Group differences and differences based on BMD test result were compared 6 months after education regarding self-reported changes in health behaviors using &khgr;2 tests and logistic regression analyses. Results Of the 508 intervention participants, 455 (90%) responded to the follow-up survey. Initiation of hormone replacement therapy was reported by 9%, with 5% reporting starting alendronate. More than half reported changes in diet, exercise, or calcium intake. Forty-three percent increased their vitamin D intake. There were no significant group differences in behavior except with regard to pharmaceutical therapy; subjects with education plus BMD were three times more likely than those receiving education only to report starting hormone replacement therapy (p = 0.004). Low BMD scores were associated with increasing vitamin D intake (p = 0.03) and starting medication (p = 0.001). Women in the intervention groups were significantly more likely to report modifying their diet (p < 0.001), calcium (p < 0.01), and vitamin D intake (p < 0.0001) than women in the control group, not exposed to education. Conclusion Education regarding osteoporosis prevention seems to encourage women to make lifestyle changes. The inclusion of BMD testing enhances the likelihood that women will consider pharmaceutical therapy.
Optical Wireless Sensor Network System Using Corner Cube Retroreflectors

We analyze an optical wireless sensor network system that uses corner cube retroreflectors (CCRs). A CCR consists of three flat mirrors in a concave configuration. When a light beam enters the CCR, it bounces off each of the three mirrors, and is reflected back parallel to the direction it entered. A CCR can send information to the base station by modulating the reflected beam by vibrating the CCR or interrupting the light path; the most suitable transmission format is on-off keying (OOK). The CCR is attractive in many optical communication applications because it is small, easy to operate, and has low power consumption. This paper examines two signal decision schemes for use at the base station: collective decision and majority decision. In collective decision, all optical signals detected by the sensors are received by one photodetector (PD), and its output is subjected to hard decision. In majority decision, the outputs of the PDs associated with the sensors are subjected to hard detection, and the final data is decided by majority decision. We show that increasing the number of sensors improves the bit error rate (BER). We also show that when the transmitted optical power is sufficiently large, BER depends on sensor accuracy. We confirm that collective decision yields lower BERs than majority decision.
Role of aldosterone and angiotensin II in insulin resistance: an update

The role of the Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone system (RAAS) on the development of insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease is an area of growing interest. Most of the deleterious actions of the RAAS on insulin sensitivity appear to be mediated through activation of the Angiotensin II (Ang II) Receptor type 1 (AT1R) and increased production of mineralocorticoids. The underlying mechanisms leading to impaired insulin sensitivity remain to be fully elucidated, but involve increased production of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress. Both experimental and clinical studies also implicate aldosterone in the development of insulin resistance, hypertension, endothelial dysfunction, cardiovascular tissue fibrosis, remodelling, inflammation and oxidative stress. There is abundant evidence linking aldosterone, through non‐genomic actions, to defective intracellular insulin signalling, impaired glucose homeostasis and systemic insulin resistance not only in skeletal muscle and liver but also in cardiovascular tissue. Blockade of the different components of the RAAS, in particular Ang II and AT1R, results in attenuation of insulin resistance, glucose homeostasis, as well as decreased cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. These beneficial effects go beyond to those expected with isolated control of hypertension. This review focuses on the role of Ang II and aldosterone in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance, as well as in clinical relevance of RAAS blockade in the prevention and treatment of the metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.
Integral Representations in Conuclear Cones

We show that closed convex cones, having bounded order intervals (in particular weakly complete proper convex cones) in conuclear spaces, are generated by their extreme rays. An analogue of Choquet’s theorem is obtained for these cones, as well as for the conuclear cones defined in this article. Well-capped cones are conuclear. The main tool is Choquet’s notion of conical measure, of which we present the necessary properties here.
Trend analysis of cancer incidence in Japan using data from selected population‐based cancer registries

Population‐based cancer registries are operated by over 80% of prefectures in Japan. However, only a limited proportion of the registries can provide long‐term incidence data. Here, we aimed to establish a method for monitoring cancer incidence trends in Japan using data from selected prefectures. Based on the availability of long‐term (≥20 years) high‐quality data, we collected incidence data from five prefectures (Miyagi, Yamagata, Fukui, Osaka, and Nagasaki), which included an annual average of 54 539 primary cancer cases diagnosed between 1985 and 2004. Cancer mortality data for 1995–2004 were obtained from the vital statistics. Representativeness and homogeneity of the trends were examined by funnel plot analysis of log‐linear regression coefficients calculated for the most recent 10 years of data (1995–2004) of age‐standardized rates (ASR). The ASR of incidence for five prefectures in total (5‐pref total) showed a significant decrease, with an annual percent change (APC) of −1.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] −1.4: −0.6) for males and −0.4 (95% CI −0.8: −0.1) for females. Excluding data from Osaka (4‐pref total) reversed the decreasing trend; the corresponding APC was +0.4 (95% CI −0.2: +1.0) for males and +0.7 (95% CI +0.5: +0.9) for females. The APCs for the ASR of mortality for the 4‐pref total (males, −1.5; females, −1.3) were more representative of nationwide data (males, −1.4 [95% CI −1.7: −1.2]; females, −1.1 [95% CI −1.4: −0.9]) than those for the 5‐pref total (males, −1.7; females, −1.4). We conclude that using data from Miyagi, Yamagata, Fukui, and Nagasaki prefectures, with continuous monitoring of the representativeness of the data, is a provisionally relevant way to evaluate cancer incidence trends in Japan.

Linear approximations to AC power flow in rectangular coordinates

This paper explores solutions to linearized power-flow equations with bus-voltage phasors represented in rectangular coordinates. The key idea is to solve for complex-valued perturbations around a nominal voltage profile from a set of linear equations that are obtained by neglecting quadratic terms in the original nonlinear power-flow equations. We prove that for lossless networks, the voltage profile where the real part of the perturbation is suppressed satisfies active-power balance in the original nonlinear system of equations. This result motivates the development of approximate solutions that improve over conventional DC power-flow approximations, since the model includes ZIP loads. For distribution networks that only contain ZIP loads in addition to a slack bus, we recover a linear relationship between the approximate voltage profile and the constant-current component of the loads and the nodal active-and reactive-power injections.
ScrollingHome: bringing image-based indoor navigation to smartwatches

Providing pedestrian navigation instructions on small screens is a challenging task due to limited screen space. As image-based approaches for navigation have been successfully proven to outperform map-based navigation on mobile devices, we propose to bring image-based navigation to smartwatches. We contribute a straightforward pipeline to easily create image-based indoor navigation instructions that allow users to freely navigate in indoor environments without any localization infrastructure and with minimal user input on the smartwatch. In a user study, we show that our approach outperforms the current state-of-the art application in terms of task completion time, perceived task load and perceived usability. In addition, we did not find an indication that there is a need to provide explicit directional instructions for image-based navigation on small screens.
