A Comparison of 36Cl Nuclear Bomb Inputs Deposited in Snow From Vostok and Talos Dome, Antarctica, Using the 36Cl/Cl− ratio

36Cl production in the atmosphere is modulated by the magnetic field intensity of both the Sun and the Earth. The record of 36Cl concentration along with that of 10Be in ice cores may therefore provide information as to their variability. To better understand the 36Cl signal in glaciological archives, we measured its concentration in Talos Dome snow samples (mean accumulation rate of 8 g cm−2 year−1 water equivalent) spanning the 1910 to 1980 CE period with a resolution of one sample every 3 years from 1955 to 1980 C.E. , and in Vostok snow samples (mean accumulation rate of 1.96 g cm−2 year−1 water equivalent) spanning the 1949 to 2007 CE period with a 6‐month resolution that had never before been obtained. Marine nuclear bomb tests in the late 1950s produced anthropogenic 36Cl, which was injected into the stratosphere and spread around the globe. In the late 1950s this anthropogenic pulse led to an increase of 36Cl concentration at Talos Dome that was more than 100 times higher than the prebomb and postbomb values. It is noteworthy that the atmosphere of Vostok remains polluted by anthropogenic 36Cl today. This pollution results from gaseous H36Cl mobility at low accumulation sites and implies re‐emission of 36Cl from the snowpack that is not observed at Talos Dome. The 36Cl/Cl− ratio may be used to discriminate the stratospheric anthropogenic 36Cl source from the tropospheric natural 36Cl source, which allows us to discuss the immobile vs. mobile 36Cl in the Vostok snowpack.

Multi-competence, expressivity, non-native variants: an investigation into Japanese English

ABSTRACT This article investigates Japanese English, a non-standard variety of English, via the three notions of multi-competence, expressivity, and non-native variants. The article demonstrates how speakers of Japanese English manipulate expressivity, a prevalent cognitive-pragmatic construct to generate non-native forms, in assigned presentational talks. The article shows that meaning-carrying non-native forms regularly co-occur with their native counterparts and argues that expressivity belongs to the fourth stage of multi-competence. There is also a preliminary discussion of the implications of the study’s findings for English language teaching in Japan, where educators have begun considering a plurilithic approach to the English language in earnest.
MEAN FIELD ASYMPTOTICS IN HIGH-DIMENSIONAL STATISTICS: FROM EXACT RESULTS TO EFFICIENT ALGORITHMS

Modern data analysis challenges require building complex statistical models with massive numbers of parameters. It is nowadays commonplace to learn models with millions of parameters by using iterative optimization algorithms. What are typical properties of the estimated models? In some cases, the high-dimensional limit of a statistical estimator is analogous to the thermodynamic limit of a certain (disordered) statistical mechanics system. Building on mathematical ideas from the mean-field theory of disordered systems, exact asymptotics can be computed for high-dimensional statistical learning problems. This theory suggests new practical algorithms and new procedures for statistical inference. Also, it leads to intriguing conjectures about the fundamental computational limits for statistical estimation.
Selective allodepletion to improve anti-viral and anti-leukaemic responses after haploidentical transplantation

Immunotherapy with allodepleted donor T-cells improves immune reconstitution after haploidentical SCT, but infection and leukaemic relapse remain problematic. To develop a rational approach to refining allodepletion, we characterized the expression of surface markers and cytokines on proliferating alloreactive T-cells flow cytometrically. CD25 was expressed on 83 % of CFSE-dim alloreactive T-cells, confirming this as an excellent target for allodepletion. 70 % of the alloreactive CD25-ve population expressed CD71, identifying this as a novel marker to target alloreactive T-cells that persist after CD25 depletion. We compared residual alloreactivity to host or 3rd party after CD25 vs combined CD25/71 immunomagnetic depletion in 8 HLA-mismatched donor-recipient pairs. In 1o MLRs, residual responses to host were undetectable after CD25/71 depletion. In 2o MLRs, CD25/71 depletion resulted in significantly lower residual proliferative response to host than CD25 depletion (median 4.8% of the response of unmanipulated PBMC vs 9.9%, p < 0.01). Likewise, the median residual reactivity to host in IFN-γ ELISPOT assays was significantly lower after combined CD25/71 than CD25 allodepletion (14.1 % vs 54.6%, p < 0.05). Third party responses after CD25/71 allodepletion were equivalent to unmanipulated PBMCs in both assays. In pentamer and IFN-γ ELISPOT assays, anti-viral responses to CMV, EBV and adenovirus were preserved after combined CD25/71 allodepletion. Finally, we showed that CD25/71 allodepleted T-cells can be redirected to recognize and secrete IFN-γ and granzyme B in response to CD19 cell lines and primary ALL blasts through lentiviral transfer of a chimeric αCD19ζ TCR. This strategy may facilitate immunotherapy with larger doses of allodepleted T-cells after haplo-SCT, enhancing graft versus leukaemia and anti-viral effects.
Hubungan regulasi emosi dengan perilaku kekerasan dalam berpacaran pada mahasiswa

Ideally dating is sharing mutual love, attention, gentle treatment, intimacy, and romance. However, it is not uncommon to find abusive treatment from their loved ones. Emotional regulation with a poor ability to regulate emotions is associated with emotional arousal which leads to an increase in aggression behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of emotional regulation with violent dating behavior in students. This study uses a correlational quantitative research method using a purposive sampling technique. The study was conducted on perpetrators of violence in dating with a total of 183 subjects with an age range of 18-24 years. Data collection uses the scale of DERS adaptation and scale of Violence in Dating. Data analysis method uses Pearson product moment analysis. The results showed a significant correlation between emotional regulation of dating violence (r= 0.360; r² = 0.130; p = 0,000; p <0.05).
Improving the effectiveness of HIV prevention: A randomised controlled trial of a small group behavioural intervention for 'high risk' gay men attending Genitourinary Medicine clinics.

Gay men are one group that is seriously affected by HIV in the UK. Prevention interventions have been widely implemented, but few have been rigorously evaluated for their effectiveness. This thesis describes the first randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a small group behavioural intervention for 'high-risk' gay men attending genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics to use incident sexually transmitted infections (STI) as the primary endpoint and examines its impact on local prevention policy and practice. At total of 343 gay men GUM clinic attenders were randomised to either standard management (brief session with a counsellor) or standard management plus a brief small group behavioural intervention delivered by trained co-facilitators. Follow up was by questionnaire at 6 and 12 months for self-reported behavioural outcomes and record review of the clinic databases for new STI diagnoses and treatment. The participation rate was 72.3%. Of those randomised to the intervention, 70.9% attended. Questionnaire follow up was 80.5% at 6 months and 71.1% at 12 months. In total, 89.8% of men returned one or both follow up questionnaires or had an STI screen (with results available) during the follow up. At baseline, 36.6% of intervention participants vs. 30.1% of controls reported unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) in the last month. At 12 months, these proportions were 27.2% and 31.5% respectively (adjusted /7-value = 0.32). However, 30.8% of intervention participants vs. 20.8% of controls had at least one STI diagnosed at the clinic during follow up (Odds Ratio = 1.692; 95% Confidence Interval: 1.033-2.772). Although intervention participants were slightly more likely to have an STI screen during the follow up period (52.9% vs. 48.2%), they were also more likely to screen positive for a new STI (Adjusted odds ratio = 1.841; 95% Confidence Interval 0.996-3.40). Process evaluation and secondary analysis identified 3 possible explanations for these unanticipated results. These were: 1) inappropriate choice and use of behavioural change theories in determining the intervention content; 2) a mis-match between intervention facilitators? and participants? expectations and perceptions of the intervention; and 3) an unintended intervention effect of the trial? s retention and follow up procedures. The study concluded that the intervention did not reduce risk of acquiring an STI and demonstrated that even carefully conceived interventions should be rigorously evaluated. The trial results did not result in immediate changes in clinic practice or local HIV prevention policy. The thesis concludes that provision of rigorous research evidence alone cannot bring about changes in either HIV prevention policy or prevention practice.
‘Holding on’ and ‘letting go’: a thematic analysis of Australian parent’s styles of coping with their adult child’s methamphetamine use

Abstract Background: Although it is well established that parents can be negatively impacted by their child’s methamphetamine use, there is little research on how parents cope. This study aimed to explore the coping styles of Australian parents contacting an online counselling service concerned about their adult child’s methamphetamine use. Method: A thematic analysis of online counselling transcripts was used to examine key coping styles employed by parents (n = 26) who were seeking support in relation to their adult child’s methamphetamine use. Results: Two primary coping styles were identified. Parents were ‘holding on’ by trying to control and change their adult child’s methamphetamine use in order to improve the adult child’s circumstances and their own; or they were ‘letting go’ by releasing control to their adult child in the hope that over time they would reduce their drug consumption or seek help. While ‘holding on’ had benefits in terms of parents feeling as though they had some power to change their adult child’s situation, it also involved considerable ongoing stress and strain. ‘Letting go’ was often a source of grief, but for some parents, it enabled them to focus on self-care and their own wellbeing. Conclusion: This study highlights the potential value of treatment services tailoring the support they provide based on parents coping styles and preferences.
Feasibility of Time-Synchronization Attacks Against PMU-Based State Estimation

The emerging measurement technology of phasor measurement units (PMUs) makes it possible to estimate the state of electrical grids in real time, thus opening the way to new protection and control applications. PMUs rely on precise time synchronization; therefore, they are vulnerable to time-synchronization attacks (TSAs), which alter the measured voltage and current phases. In particular, undetectable TSAs pose a significant threat as they lead to an incorrect but credible estimate of the system state. Prior work has shown that such attacks exist against pairs of PMUs, but they do not take into consideration the clock adjustment performed by the clock servo, which can modify the attack angles and make the attacks detectable. This cannot be easily addressed with the existing attacks, as the undetectable angle values form a discrete set and cannot be continuously adjusted as would be required to address the problems posed to the attacker by the clock servo. Going beyond prior work, this article first shows how to perform undetectable attacks against more than two PMUs, so that the set of undetectable attacks forms a continuum and supports small adjustments. Second, it shows how an attacker can anticipate the operation of the clock servo while achieving her attack goal and remaining undetectable. Third, this article shows how to identify vulnerable sets of PMUs. Numerical results on the 39-bus IEEE benchmark system illustrate the feasibility of the proposed attack strategies.
The role of eastern Tethys seaway closure in the Middle Miocene Climatic Transition (ca. 14 Ma)

Abstract. The Middle Miocene Climatic Transition (MMCT, approximately 14 Ma) is a key period in Cenozoic cooling and cryospheric expansion. Despite being well documented in isotopic record, the causes of the MMCT are still a matter of debate. Among various hypotheses, some authors suggested that it was due the final closure of the eastern Tethys seaway and subsequent oceanic circulation reorganisation. The aim of the present study is to quantify the impact of varying Tethys seaway depths on middle Miocene ocean and climate, in order to better understand its role in the MMCT. We present four sensitivity experiments with a fully coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model. Our results indicate the presence of a warm and salty water source in the northern Indian Ocean when the eastern Tethys is deep open (4000 or 1000 m), which corresponds to the Tethyan Indian Saline Water (TISW) described on the basis of isotopic studies. This water source is absent in the experiments with shallow (250 m) and closed Tethys seaway, inducing strong changes in the latitudinal density gradient and ultimately the reinforcement of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). Moreover, when the Tethys seaway is shallow or closed, there is a westward water flow in the Gibraltar Strait that strengthens the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) compared to the experiments with deep-open Tethys seaway. Our results therefore suggest that the shoaling and final closure of the eastern Tethys seaway played a major role in the oceanic circulation reorganisation during the middle Miocene. The results presented here provide new constraints on the timing of the Tethys seaway closure and particularly indicate that, prior to 14 Ma, a deep-open Tethys seaway should have allowed the formation of TISW. Moreover, whereas the final closure of this seaway likely played a major role in the reorganisation of oceanic circulation, we suggest that it was not the main driver of the global cooling and Antarctica ice-sheet expansion during the MMCT. Here we propose that the initiation of the MMCT was caused by an atmospheric pCO2 drawdown and that the oceanic changes due to the Tethys seaway closure amplified the response of global climate and East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Long-term changes in riparian forest cover under a dam-induced flow scheme: the accompanying a numerical modelling perspective

Abstract River regulation affects downstream riparian vegetation dynamics. This paper investigates changes in vegetation cover along a steep reach of the Kitakami river in Japan, below the Gosho dam. Historical aerial imagery covering 60-years of both the pre- and post- dam construction phases is used to document land cover evolution. Changes in riparian forest cover are evaluated in relation to the corresponding hydrological regimes. A long-term trend in forest cover encroachment was revealed and a temporal correlation analysis confirmed a clear association with the modified water and sediment regime downstream of the dam. In addition, a numerical simulation of changes in spatial tree distribution using the dynamic riparian vegetation model (DRIPVEM) was undertaken. Validation of the simulation using the Kappa statistic showed a moderate-to-substantial agreement between model output and the photographic record.
The Greek Version of the Southampton Nostalgia Scale: Psychometric Properties in Young Adults and Associations with Life Satisfaction, Positive and Negative Emotions, Time Perspective and Wellbeing

 Abstract — Nostalgia is characterized as a mental state of human’s emotional longing for the past that activates both positive and negative emotions. The bittersweet emotions that are activated by nostalgia aid psychological functions to humans and are depended on the type of stimuli that evoke nostalgia but also on the nostalgia activation context. In general, despite that nostalgia can be activated and experienced by all people; however, it differs both in terms of nostalgia experience but also nostalgia frequency. As a matter of fact, nostalgia experience along with nostalgia frequency differs according to the level of the nostalgia proneness. People with high nostalgia proneness tend to experience nostalgia more intensely and frequently than people with low nostalgia proneness. Nostalgia proneness is considered as a basic individual difference that affects the experience of nostalgia, and it can be measured by the Southampton Nostalgia Scale (SNS); a psychometric instrument that measures human’s nostalgia proneness consisting of seven questions that assess a person’s attitude towards nostalgia, the degree of experience or tendency to nostalgic feelings and the nostalgia frequency. In the current study, we translated, validated and calibrated the SNS in Greek population (N = 267). For the calibration process, we used several scales relevant to positive dimensions, such as life satisfaction, positive and negative emotions, time perspective and wellbeing. A confirmatory factor analysis revealed the factors that provide a good Southampton Nostalgia Proneness model fit for young adult Greek population.
Genetic algorithm-neural network : feature extraction for bioinformatics data

With the advance of gene expression data in the bioinformatics field, the questions which frequently arise, for both computer and medical scientists, are which genes are significantly involved in discriminating cancer classes and which genes are significant with respect to a specific cancer pathology. Numerous computational analysis models have been developed to identify informative genes from the microarray data, however, the integrity of the reported genes is still uncertain. This is mainly due to the misconception of the objectives of microarray study. Furthermore, the application of various preprocessing techniques in the microarray data has jeopardised the quality of the microarray data. As a result, the integrity of the findings has been compromised by the improper use of techniques and the ill-conceived objectives of the study. This research proposes an innovative hybridised model based on genetic algorithms (GAs) and artificial neural networks (ANNs), to extract the highly differentially expressed genes for a specific cancer pathology. The proposed method can efficiently extract the informative genes from the original data set and this has reduced the gene variability errors incurred by the preprocessing techniques. The novelty of the research comes from two perspectives. Firstly, the research emphasises on extracting informative features from a high dimensional and highly complex data set, rather than to improve classification results. Secondly, the use of ANN to compute the fitness function of GA which is rare in the context of feature extraction. Two benchmark microarray data have been taken to research the prominent genes expressed in the tumour development and the results show that the genes respond to different stages of tumourigenesis (i.e. different fitness precision levels) which may be useful for early malignancy detection. The extraction ability of the proposed model is validated based on the expected results in the synthetic data sets. In addition, two bioassay data have been used to examine the efficiency of the proposed model to extract significant features from the large, imbalanced and multiple data representation bioassay data.
Mediation of Academic Self-esteem on Relationship between Grades and Psychological Disengagement

The motivational basis for students’ school outcomes remains an area of great concern. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether academic self-esteem mediates the influence of grades on psychological disengagement. Data for 453secondary school students whose age ranged from 15-19 years (Mage = 17.20, SD = 1.09; 53.6% females) were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS. Findings show significantly higher discounting than discounting, and no significant differences in discounting and devaluing between the highest and lowest achievers. Academic self-esteem significantly mediated the influence of grades on discounting and devaluing. Practical implications of findings in school contexts are discussed.
