Would You Date a Person who Stutters? College Students Respond

The purpose of this study was to identify attitudes toward dating a person who stutters (PWS) held by college students. One hundred and thirty-two college students responded to a 19-item questionnaire. Survey items included questions about participants’ familiarity with persons who stutter, family and/or personal history of stuttering, knowledge of stuttering behaviors, beliefs about the cause of stuttering, whether they would date a person who stutters, and factors that would influence their decision to date or not date a PWS. Results indicated that approximately 30 percent of respondents stated they would date a person who stuttered. Approximately half of the participants were unsure if they would date a PWS and would base their decision on the personality, severity of stuttering, the physical attractiveness and intelligence of the PWS. Findings suggest that at least three of the four factors cited by participants as important in their decision to date someone who stutters can, to varying degrees, be modified by the PWS (i.e., personality, stuttering severity, and appearance). These are potential treatment outcome goals for many PWS and should be explored by the client and clinician as part of the process of therapeutic change.
Developmental markers of B cells are superior to those of T cells for identification of stages with distinct gene expression profiles

B and T lymphocytes develop through a series of cellular stages, which are defined by recombination status of the immunoglobulin and T cell receptor loci and can be separated by analysis of cell‐surface markers. We evaluated how well 26 and 41 samples from five and eight developmental stages of B and T cell development, respectively, could be correctly assigned to their lineage of origin and developmental stage by analysis of the expression of 13,026 genes and expressed sequence tags (ESTs). The RNA expression patterns of eight genes correctly classified all 67 samples as belonging to the B cell or to the T cell lineage. Ninety‐two to 100% of B‐lineage samples could be correctly assigned to the protein‐defined developmental stage by the RNA expression pattern of 29 genes. By contrast, RNA expression patterns of 39 genes were necessary to correctly assign 85–100% of T‐lineage samples to the correct developmental stage. The sets of genes used for these classifications contain ESTs as well as known genes that have not previously been associated with lymphocyte development. Graphical display of the classifications shows that B‐lineage samples are well separated from T‐lineage samples, and samples from the five stages of B cell development are well separated from each other. By contrast, samples from the eight stages of T cell development cannot be separated precisely. We conclude that the protein markers currently widely used for separating stages of B cell development better identify molecularly distinct stages than those used for separating stages of T cell development.
Combinatorial Optimization with Explicit Delineation of the Ground Set by a Collection of Subsets

We examine a selective list of combinatorial optimization problems in NP with respect to inapproximability (Arora and Lund (1997)) given that the ground set of elements $N$ has additional characteristics. For each problem in this paper, the set $N$ is expressed explicitly by subsets of $N$ either as a partition or in the form of a cover. The problems examined are generalizations of well-known classical graph problems and include the minimal spanning tree problem, a number of elementary machine scheduling problems, the bin-packing problem, and the travelling salesman problem (TSP). We conclude that for all these generalized problems the existence of a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) is impossible unless P=NP. This suggests a partial characterization for a family of inapproximable problems. For the generalized Euclidean TSP we prove inapproximability even if the subsets are of cardinality 2.
Implementation of the best practice in nasogastric tube feeding of critically ill patients in a neurosurgical intensive care unit.

OBJECTIVES This project was designed to implement the best practice in nasogastric tube feeding of critically ill patients in a neurosurgical intensive care unit. METHODS Clinical audit software programmes of the Joanna Briggs Institute (Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System and Getting Research Into Practice) were used in this project. A baseline audit, feedback, follow-up audit cycle was followed. The audit team analysed the results of the baseline audit, conducted a situational analysis and formulated and implemented a strategic plan to improve the nasogastric tube care. RESULTS Initially, the compliance with the criteria varied from 0% to 87%. The Getting Research Into Practice phase of the project identified several barriers of each criterion. After implementation of best practice, the following audit showed an improvement in all criteria, ranging from 33% to 95%. Marked improvement was achieved in the criteria that were not strictly required by local standards, such as rechecking the tube position, assessing the gastric residual volume and maintaining the airway cuff pressure. CONCLUSION The project had some success in improving the practice of nasogastric tube feeding. Collaboration, education, monitoring and a reward system were the key elements used to drive the project. Further actions and changes are expected to produce 100% compliance.
Antimony and arsenic leaching from secondary lead smelter air-pollution-control residues

Environments in the vicinity of the lead (Pb) smelters are contaminated by emissions containing high concentrations of antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As). Air-pollution-control (APC) residues from bag-type filters from a secondary Pb smelter were subjected to leaching experiments to elucidate the controlling mechanisms of Sb and As release. Kinetic batch leaching tests at a liquid-to-solid (L/S) ratio of 10 L kg- 1 within the time frame of 720 hours and batch leaching at various L/S ratios (ranging from 1 to 1000 L kg-1) were performed. In contrast to other inorganic contaminants (Pb, Cd, Zn), less than 1% of the total Sb and As content was leached from the residues. At a L/S ratio of 10, the As and Sb concentrations in the leachates exceeded the EU limit values for non-hazardous waste (0.2 and 0.07 mg L-1 ). According to PHREEQC-2 calculations, the concentrations of As and Sb are controlled by the precipitation of complex arsenates and antimonates mainly at low L/S ratios. The washing and related chemical/mineralogical transformation of APC residues was suggested as a technological pre-treatment process before their re-smelting in a blast furnace. The Ferrox-like processing of the resulting contaminated process water/leachate was simulated using the PHREEQC-2 code. Significant reduction was obtained in the concentration of some key contaminants (As, Cu, Pb, Zn) related to sorption on newly formed hydrous ferric oxides, whereas Sb and Cd exhibited only limited attenuation.
CCR New Strategies New Strategies in HER 2-Overexpressing Breast Cancer : Many Combinations of Targeted Drugs Available

The anti-HER2 drugs trastuzumab and lapatinib are increasingly changing the natural history of early and metastatic HER2-overexpressing breast cancer. Many other agents targeted against the HER2 signaling network are in clinical development, and these are or will soon be combined with the currently approved anti-HER2 therapies. We review herein recent data in support of the early use of combinations of agents targeted to the HER2 network as the most rational approach against this subtype of breast cancer. We propose that the optimal combination or combinations of anti-HER2 agents delivered early in the natural history of HER2þ breast cancer should close to eliminate acquired drug resistance, shorten the duration of therapy, and potentially dispense with the need of concurrent chemotherapy.

Trust in Automation

This essay focuses on trust in the automation within macrocognitive work systems. The authors emphasize the dynamics of trust. They consider numerous different meanings or kinds of trust, and different modes of operation in which trust dynamics play a role. Their goal is to contribute to the development of a methodology for designing and analyzing collaborative human-centered work systems, a methodology that might promote both trust "calibration" and appropriate reliance. The analysis suggests an ontology for what the authors call "active exploration for trusting" (AET).
From the Eye of the Albatrosses: A Bird-Borne Camera Shows an Association between Albatrosses and a Killer Whale in the Southern Ocean

Albatrosses fly many hundreds of kilometers across the open ocean to find and feed upon their prey. Despite the growing number of studies concerning their foraging behaviour, relatively little is known about how albatrosses actually locate their prey. Here, we present our results from the first deployments of a combined animal-borne camera and depth data logger on free-ranging black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophrys). The still images recorded from these cameras showed that some albatrosses actively followed a killer whale (Orcinus orca), possibly to feed on food scraps left by this diving predator. The camera images together with the depth profiles showed that the birds dived only occasionally, but that they actively dived when other birds or the killer whale were present. This association with diving predators or other birds may partially explain how albatrosses find their prey more efficiently in the apparently 'featureless' ocean, with a minimal requirement for energetically costly diving or landing activities.
Warm-hot intergalactic baryons revealed

Several popular cosmological models predict that most of the baryonic mass in the local universe is located in filamentary and sheet-like structures associated with galaxy overdensities. This gas is expected to be gravitationally heated to ∼10 6 K and therefore emitting in the soft X-rays. We have detected diffuse soft X-ray structures in a high Galactic latitude ROSAT field after point source subtraction and correction for Galactic absorption. These diffuse structures have an X-ray energy distribution that is much softer than expected from clusters, groups or unresolved emission from AGNs, but are consistent with that expected from a diffuse warm intergalactic medium. To discriminate between a Galactic or extragalactic nature of the diffuse gas we have correlated the soft X-map with multiband optical images in this field. We have found a significant overdensity of galaxies in correspondence with the strongest diffuse X-ray structure. The photometric redshift distribution of the galaxies over the X-ray peak has an excess over field galaxies at z ∼ 0.45. This result strongly suggests that the diffuse X-ray flux is due to extragalactic emission by warm gas associated with an overdense galaxy region at z ∼ 0.45.
Young and going strong? A longitudinal study on occupational health among young employees of different educational levels

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify job characteristics that determine young employees' wellbeing, health, and performance, and to compare educational groups. Design/methodology/approach: Using the job demands-resources (JD-R) model and 2-wave longitudinal data (n=1,284), the paper compares employees with a lower educational level with employees with a high educational level. Findings: Young employees with lower educational level reported fewer job resources (autonomy and social support), more physical demands, less dedication, more emotional exhaustion, and poorer health and performance compared with the highly educated group. Differences were also found between educational groups in the relationships in the JD-R model, most notably a reciprocal association between dedication and performance, and between emotional exhaustion and performance in the group with lower levels of education. Research limitations/implications: The results support the main processes of the JD-R model, supporting its generalizability. However, differences were found between educational groups, implying that the motivational and health impairment processes differ across educational levels. Practical implications: HR consultants and career counselors may focus especially on increasing job resources and motivation for young employees with lower educational level. Performing well is also important for these young workers to become more dedicated and less exhausted. Social implications: It is important to recognize and intervene on unique characteristics of different educational groups with regard to wellbeing, health, and performance in order to maintain a healthy and productive young workforce. Originality/value: For the first time, predictions of the JD-R model are tested among young employees with different educational backgrounds. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.
Potential Role of Leptin Signaling in DMBA induced Mammary Tumors by Non-Responsive C57BL/6J Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet

Environmental carcinogens, High-Fat Diet (HFD) and elevated levels of leptin correlate to increase breast cancer incidence. To test whether these factors could affect the development of Mammary Tumors (MT) via DMBA (7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene) challenge, we used C57BL/6J mice that are non-responsive to develop MT in absence of hormonal stimulation. C57BL/6J female mice without hormonal stimulation were fed HFD (55% Kcalfat) and low-fat diets (10% Kcal-fat) received DMBA (oral gavage: 1 mg/weekly) for 6 weeks. To test whether leptin signaling is involved in DMBA-MT development, a potent inhibitor, pegylated leptin peptide receptor antagonist (PEG-LPrA2; half-life 66 hours), was used for 30 weeks. As expected, irrespective of PEG-LPrA2 treatment, lean mice fed with low-fat diet did not develop MT. However, HFD induced obesity and significantly stimulated earlier onset (within 18 weeks) and marginally increased the incidence of MT (21%; 3/14) in DIO-mice (diet-induced-obesity). It appears that leptin signaling may be involved in DMBA-induced mammary carcinogenesis in obese mice because no evidence of MT was found in DIO-mice treated with PEG-LPrA2 (0% incidence; 0/14; Wilcoxon-Breslow test Chi2, p=0.03). Interestingly, PEG-LPrA2 treatment did not apparently affect body weight or food intake, but reduced protein levels of several molecules related to breast cancer [Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR), leptin receptor (OBR), interleukin 1 receptor type I (IL-1R tI), hypoxia-induced factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α), Jagged1 (JAG1) and Notch1 activated (NICD1)] within the mammary glands. Our findings reinforce the idea that obesity induced by HFD is an additional risk factor for chemical-induced breast carcinogenesis. The present study reveals some potential mechanisms involving leptin in the effects of HFD and adiposity on mammary chemical-induced carcinogenesis. Overall, present data suggest that the inhibition of leptin signaling might be a new way to prevent breast cancer induced by chemical carcinogens, especially in obese individuals.
PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN BEAN (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L.) LEAVES, INFECTED BY THE MOST IMPORTANT BEAN DISEA

Gas-exchange, plastid pigments and some other physiological parameters were determined in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. local populations) leaves naturally infected by Xanthomonas campestris pv.phaseoli (Smith) Dye, and Pseudomonas syringae pv.phaseolicola (Bukholder) Young, Dye et Wilkie, and in healthy leaves (control). It was established that infected leaves had lower both plastid pigments content and photosynthetic activity as well as lower yield and quality of produce.
The Effects of 10° Reverse Trendelenburg Position on Subdural Intracranial Pressure and Cerebral Perfusion Pressure in Patients Subjected to Craniotomy for Cerebral Aneurysm

Abstract: The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of 10° reverse Trendelenburg position (rTp) on subdural intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and dural tension. Additionally, the relationship between preoperative Hunt & Hess (H&H) grade and the subdural ICP in patients scheduled for cerebral aneurysm surgery was investigated. Twenty-eight consecutive patients with a cerebral aneurysm were subjected to craniotomy in propofol/fentanyl or propofol/remifentanil anesthesia. Subdural ICP was measured after opening of the bone flap and exposure of dura. After reference measurements of subdural ICP and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), the measurements were repeated during 10° rTp. No significant differences between the anesthetic groups were disclosed. During 10° rTp, a significant decrease in MABP, ICP, and jugular bulb pressure was observed whereas CPP remained unchanged. In H&H 0 patients (unruptured aneurysm), the ICP decreased from 2.9 ± 2.6 mmHg to 0.4 ± 2.2 mmHg at 10° rTp. In H&H I to II patients, the ICP decreased from 9.3 ± 3.8 mmHg to 4.6 ± 3.3 mmHg at 10° rTp. A significant difference in the mean baseline subdural ICP and ΔICP (change in ICP) was found between patients with unruptured aneurysm and patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (H&H I and II). Furthermore, the relationship between the subdural ICP at neutral position and ΔICP was significant. In patients without intracranial hypertension, 10° rTp decreases subdural ICP and dural tension in patients with ruptured as well as patients with unruptured cerebral aneurysm; CPP is unchanged.
Chinese learners and computer mediated communication: Balancing culture, technology, and pedagogy

The modern Chinese diaspora has raised new issues for learning. A recurrent theme within the literature is that technology by itself is insufficient to promote cross-cultural learning, and a new balance must be found between culture, technology and pedagogy. This paper takes a student perspective and reports some research findings about the ways in which Chinese students learn in online discussions, including the influence of the computer mediated communication (CMC) medium and the curriculum. It also makes some comparisons with the local students. A major benefit for Chinese students was their increased participation, which they considered was due to the virtual and text based nature of the medium. Unlike local students, Chinese students did not find the debate with its controversy and argument motivational. Surprisingly, communication anxiety was more problematic for local students. Chinese and local students found that reading and writing messages helped them develop their thinking and understanding, and assessment was a significant influence for them. The importance of integrating the online discussions with the weekly face-to-face classes was identified by both groups.
Design on semiconductor coupled SAW convolver

This paper presents results of a design study on a semiconductor coupled surface acoustic wave (SAW) convolver in which bi-directionally propagating SAWs, on a piezoelectric substrate with a high coupling coefficient, couple with bonded semiconductor diodes through multistrips. To obtain convolution signals with a high efficiency, we adopted a diode-balanced bridge structure for the nonlinear operation. We also found that the tapping pitches of the multi-strip electrodes have robustness against operation frequency variation and temperature-dependent variation on the delay of the SAW. We verified the effectiveness of the device in. a circuit simulation and an experiment on a test circuit, which was fabricated by using an epitaxial lift-off film-bonding process.
Schedulability Analysis for Real-Time Task Set on Resource with Performance Degradation and Dual-Level Periodic Rejuvenations

Researches in real-time scheduling often assume that the performance of a computing resource does not change over time. However, as system softwares and system architectures become increasingly complex, resource performance degradation over time becomes more evident. In this paper, we study the schedulability of a hard real-time task set on a resource which has performance degradation over time with a known pattern and use both cold and warm periodic rejuvenations as countermeasures. Such resource model is referred to as <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX"> $P^2D$</tex-math><alternatives><inline-graphic xlink:href="hua-ieq1-2602833.gif"/></alternatives></inline-formula> -resource model for <underline>p</underline>erformance degradation and <underline>p</underline>eriodic rejuvenation with <underline>d</underline>ual-levels.
