Unmasking Masculinity : A Critical Autobiography

In this detailed investigation of "masculine" gendered indentity David Jackson uses his own personal history and social experiences to look at the specific ways men become "men". In doing so he examines, but also offers some positive challenges, to the assumed qualities and values of growing up "manly", through an investigation of the psychological and social forces active in his own development: relations with his father, violence at school, male banter and joking, sporting activities, boys comics and sexual relations. The book is a deliberate blend between life story and critical commentary that makes use of some of the latest ideas from post-structuralist theory to make visible the social and emotional process that go into the making of one man's life history. Integral to "Unmasking Masculinity" is the recognition that the making of personal and social identities is central to the search for a new gender politics. It should prove to be of interest to anyone interested in the social, psychological and cultural forces that have gone into the historical shaping on men and masculinities.

Applying the ResFinder and VirulenceFinder web-services for easy identification of acquired antibiotic resistance and E. coli virulence genes in bacteriophage and prophage nucleotide sequences

Extensive research is currently being conducted on the use of bacteriophages for applications in human medicine, agriculture and food manufacturing. However, phages are important vehicles of horisontal gene transfer and play a significant role in bacterial evolution. As a result, concern has been raised that this increased use and dissemination of phages could result in spread of deleterious genes, e.g., antibiotic resistance and virulence genes. Meanwhile, in the wake of the genomic era, several tools have been developed for characterization of bacterial genomes. Here we describe how two of these tools, ResFinder and VirulenceFinder, can be used to identify acquired antibiotic resistance and virulence genes in phage genomes of interest. The general applicability of the tools is demonstrated on data sets of 1,642 phage genomes and 1,442 predicted prophages.
Communicating uncertainty: media coverage of new and controversial science.

Exploring the interactions that swirl around scientific uncertainty and its coverage by the mass media, this volume breaks new ground by looking at these issues from three different perspectives: that of communication scholars who have studied uncertainty in a number of ways; that of science journalists who have covered these issues; and that of scientists who have been actively involved in researching uncertain science and talking to reporters about it. In particular, Communicating Uncertainty examines how well the mass media convey to the public the complexities, ambiguities, and controversies that are part of scientific uncertainty. In addition to its new approach to scientific uncertainty and mass media interactions, this book distinguishes itself in the quality of work it assembles by some of the best known science communication scholars in the world. This volume continues the exploration of interactions between scientists and journalists that the three coeditors first documented in their highly successful volume, Scientists and Journalists: Reporting Science as News which was used for many years as a text in science journalism courses around the world.
Plug-and-play inference for disease dynamics: measles in large and small populations as a case study

Statistical inference for mechanistic models of partially observed dynamic systems is an active area of research. Most existing inference methods place substantial restrictions upon the form of models that can be fitted and hence upon the nature of the scientific hypotheses that can be entertained and the data that can be used to evaluate them. In contrast, the so-called plug-and-play methods require only simulations from a model and are thus free of such restrictions. We show the utility of the plug-and-play approach in the context of an investigation of measles transmission dynamics. Our novel methodology enables us to ask and answer questions that previous analyses have been unable to address. Specifically, we demonstrate that plug-and-play methods permit the development of a modelling and inference framework applicable to data from both large and small populations. We thereby obtain novel insights into the nature of heterogeneity in mixing and comment on the importance of including extra-demographic stochasticity as a means of dealing with environmental stochasticity and model misspecification. Our approach is readily applicable to many other epidemiological and ecological systems.
SUPERVISOR’S ROLE IN TRAINING PROGRAMS AS A PREDICTOR OF MOTIVATION TO LEARN: A STUDY IN A MALAYSIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY

ABSTRACT According to the training literature, a supervisor’s role in training programs has two major elements: supervisor support and supervisor communication. The ability of supervisors to play effective roles in training programs may increase employees’ motivation to learn. The nature of this relationship is interesting, but the role of supervisor’s role as a predicting variable is less emphasized in a training program models. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the effect of supervisor’s role in training programs on motivation to learn using 152 usable questionnaires gathered from non-academic employees who have worked in a Malaysian public university. The outcomes of stepwise regression analysis showed that the supervisor support and supervisor communication significantly correlated with motivation to learn. Statistically, this result demonstrates that that supervisor’s role does act as an important predictor of motivation to learn in the organizational sample. In addition, discussion, implication and conclusion are elaborated. Keywords: supervisor’s role in training programs, motivation to learn, Malaysia INTRODUCTION Supervisors are considered as the first level of management who are given major duties and responsibilities to lead work groups in organizations (Noe, 2010). As an experienced leader, problem solver and role model at the group level, supervisors often work together with their employers to design, implement and monitor the organizational policies, procedures and plans, including training programs (Ellinger et al., 2005). A training program is a strategic function of human capital management, where it focuses on developing overall employee competencies to overcome their daily work problems. In the traditional management perspective, supervisors are given the important responsibility by an employer to identify the daily, routine and short-term employee deficiencies, as well as report such deficiencies to the top management. Top management will then identify the training requirements or training needs to overcome such employee deficiencies (Rodrigues & Gregory, 2005). In an era of global competition, many organizations now have shifted their paradigms from traditional job-based training to organizational business strategies and cultures (MacNeil, 2004; Ismail et al., 2007). Under this approach, supervisors are empowered by an employer to effectively design and administer training programs to develop useful competencies for future organizational development and change. During the designing stage of training programs, supervisors often work together in tandem with the management team and other employees in
Experimental demonstration of a balanced electroabsorption modulated microwave photonic link

A novel balanced electroabsorption modulated photonic link for simultaneous suppression of even-order distortions, third-order distortions, laser relative intensity noise (RIN), and common amplified spontaneous emission noise at the same modulator bias point was experimentally demonstrated for the first time. By biasing the balanced electroabsorption modulator at the third-order null, the third-order distortions were suppressed, while the balanced link architecture suppressed all even-order distortions and common mode noises. The fabricated balanced electroabsorption modulator (B-EAM) showed well-matched dc characteristics in terms of I-V and transfer curve. System experiments were performed to compare single-EAM and B-EAM links. In the B-EAM link, 2-dB suppression of laser RIN and 20-dB improvement in spurious free dynamic range over the single-EAM link were observed.
Catégorisation des évaluations dans un corpus de blogs multi-domaine

Dans le cadre de la fouille d'opinion, nous proposons une methode automatique pour la detection et la categorisation des evaluations localement exprimees dans un corpus de blogs multi-domaine. Cette methode s'appuie sur deux theories linguistiques modelisant le processus d'evaluation dans le lan- gage naturel et sur des ressources lexicales. Nous presentons deux composants logiciels qui s'integrent a la plateforme UIMA et qui permettent : l'extraction automatique de structures symboliques specifiques a l'expression evaluative et la categorisation des evaluations a partir des structures symboliques apprises. L'outil de categorisation vise en particulier a analyser la signification axiologique, la modalite et la configuration enonciative d'une evaluation. L'objectif a terme est d'associer les evaluations ainsi categorisees a leur sujet.
Likelihood function for QRM-MLD suitable for soft-decision turbo decoding and its performance for OFCDM MIMO multiplexing in multipath fading channel

This paper proposes likelihood function generation of complexity-reduced maximum likelihood detection with QR decomposition and M-algorithm (QRM-MLD) suitable for soft-decision turbo decoding and investigates the throughput performance using QRM-MLD with the proposed likelihood function in multipath Rayleigh fading channels for orthogonal frequency and code division multiplexing (OFCDM) with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiplexing. Simulation results show that by using the proposed likelihood function generation scheme for soft-decision turbo decoding following QRM-MLD in 4-by-4 MIMO multiplexing, the required average received signal energy per bit-to-noise power spectrum density ratio (E/sub b//N/sub o/) at the average block error rate (BLER) of 10/sup -2/ at a 1-Gbps data rate is significantly reduced compared to that using hard-decision decoding in OFCDM access with 16 QAM modulation, the coding rate of 8/9, and 8-code multiplexing with a spreading factor of 8 assuming a 100-MHz bandwidth. Furthermore, we show that by employing QRM-MLD associated with soft-decision turbo decoding for 4-by-4 MIMO multiplexing, the throughput values of 500 Mbps and 1 Gbps are achieved at the average received E/sub b//N/sub o/ of approximately 4.5 and 9.3 dB by QPSK with the coding rate of R = 8/9 and 16 QAM with R = 8/9, respectively, for OFCDM access assuming a 100-MHz bandwidth in a twelve-path Rayleigh fading channel.
Prediction of large variation in biota to sediment accumulation factors due to concentration‐dependent black carbon adsorption of planar hydrophobic organic compounds

Biota‐to‐sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) sometimes show large variations between sites for a given planar hydrophobic organic compound (pHOC) in a given organism. We present a framework in which strong adsorption to soot/charcoal (black carbon [BC]) explains such BSAF variations. Recently constrained parameters on environmental BC sorption were used in a dual‐mode sorption model of BSAF. Variations in sedimentary BC content are shown to explain variations in BSAF of one to two orders of magnitude. In addition, strong BC sorption can explain the often‐observed difference in BSAF between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The strong nonlinearity of BC sorption can render BSAF values strongly concentration‐dependent for a given sediment/organism/compound combination, so it is of paramount importance to carry out uptake and toxicity tests at the relevant environmental concentrations.
Curve reconstruction: connecting dots with good reason

Curve reconstruction algorithms are supposed to reconstruct curves from point samples. Recent papers present algorithms that come with a guarantee: Given a sufficiently dense sample of a closed smooth curve, the algorithms construct the correct polygonal reconstruction. Nothing is claimed about the output of the algorithms, if the input is not a dense sample of a closed smooth curve, e.g., a sample of a curve with endpoints. We present an algorithm that comes with a guarantee for any setP of input points. The algorithm constructs a polygonal reconstruction G and a smooth curve that justifies G as the reconstruction fromP . © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
Perceived barriers to health care and health behaviours: Implications for Native American elders' self-rated health

Little is known about how Native American adults appraise their health in later life. Perceived barriers to health care and health behaviours were examined among 6813 Native elders to determine their unique associations with self-rated health (SRH). Hierarchical regression results showed inability to access needed medical care predicted poorer SRH. Statistically accounting for sociodemographics and barriers to care, health behaviours predicted SRH. The current findings suggest opportunities to improve Native elders' SRH particularly via exercise and good nutrition. In turn, enhanced SRH may lead to improved quality of life.
The Scientific Basis of Uncertainty Factors Used in Setting Occupational Exposure Limits

The uncertainty factor concept is integrated into health risk assessments for all aspects of public health practice, including by most organizations that derive occupational exposure limits. The use of uncertainty factors is predicated on the assumption that a sufficient reduction in exposure from those at the boundary for the onset of adverse effects will yield a safe exposure level for at least the great majority of the exposed population, including vulnerable subgroups. There are differences in the application of the uncertainty factor approach among groups that conduct occupational assessments; however, there are common areas of uncertainty which are considered by all or nearly all occupational exposure limit-setting organizations. Five key uncertainties that are often examined include interspecies variability in response when extrapolating from animal studies to humans, response variability in humans, uncertainty in estimating a no-effect level from a dose where effects were observed, extrapolation from shorter duration studies to a full life-time exposure, and other insufficiencies in the overall health effects database indicating that the most sensitive adverse effect may not have been evaluated. In addition, a modifying factor is used by some organizations to account for other remaining uncertainties—typically related to exposure scenarios or accounting for the interplay among the five areas noted above. Consideration of uncertainties in occupational exposure limit derivation is a systematic process whereby the factors applied are not arbitrary, although they are mathematically imprecise. As the scientific basis for uncertainty factor application has improved, default uncertainty factors are now used only in the absence of chemical-specific data, and the trend is to replace them with chemical-specific adjustment factors whenever possible. The increased application of scientific data in the development of uncertainty factors for individual chemicals also has the benefit of increasing the transparency of occupational exposure limit derivation. Improved characterization of the scientific basis for uncertainty factors has led to increasing rigor and transparency in their application as part of the overall occupational exposure limit derivation process.
Tai chi: physiological characteristics and beneficial effects on health

Objectives—To assess the characteristic effects of Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) exercise on metabolism and cardiorespiratory response, and to measure its effect on cardiorespiratory function, mental control, immune capacity, and the prevention of falls in elderly people. Design—A review of controlled experimental studies and clinical trials designed with one of two aims: either to assess physiological responses during the performance of TCC or to assess the impact of this exercise on general health and fitness. Main outcome measures—Metabolic rate, heart rate, blood pressure, ventilation, maximal oxygen uptake (V̇o2max), immune capacity, falls, and fall related factors. Subjects—A total of 2216 men and women. Results—Under review were 31 original studies, published in Chinese or English journals, that met the criteria for inclusion. Most of the papers written in Chinese had not been introduced into the Western literature. Nine of these studies showed that TCC can be classified as moderate exercise, as its does not demand more than 55% of maximal oxygen intake. When this form of exercise and others conducted at equal intensity were compared, TCC showed a significantly lower ventilatory equivalent (V̇e/V̇o2max). Evidence provided by cross sectional and longitudinal studies suggests that TCC exercise has beneficial effects on cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal function, posture control capacity, and the reduction of falls experienced by the elderly. Conclusions—TCC is a moderate intensity exercise that is beneficial to cardiorespiratory function, immune capacity, mental control, flexibility, and balance control; it improves muscle strength and reduces the risk of falls in the elderly.
In vivo Measurements of Tooth Wear over 12 Months

The aim of this study was to measure the progression of tooth wear in a cohort of 63 patients, 43 males and 20 females with a mean age of 39.1 years. Recruitment followed referral from general practice to Guy’s Hospital for advice/management of tooth wear. Addition silicone impressions were taken at 6-month intervals for a total of 12 months; impressions were subsequently poured in type IV gypsum. Casts were scanned using a non-contacting laser profilometer and then superimposed using Geomagic® Qualify 11. Wear was measured in µm by tooth per time interval. A questionnaire highlighting dietary, parafunctional and gastric risk factors was obtained from each participant. Clustered multiple regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between tooth wear progression and risk factors. Maximum follow-up times were 6 months for 63 participants and 12 months for 30 participants. The measurement error was 15 µm. At the tooth level, 72.2% of 1,078 teeth wore <15 µm over a 6-month period. At the subject level, 77.7% of 63 participants showed median wear <15 µm over a 6-month period. There was a statistical trend towards tooth wear progression being associated with gastric risk factors (p < 0.05). The lower molars and the upper anterior teeth were the most commonly affected teeth; the lower molars and the upper central incisors were the most severely affected teeth. Tooth wear progression was slow in this cohort, suggesting that tooth wear may be cyclical and inactive in the majority of participants.
Synthetic Trace-Driven Simulation of Cache Memory

The widening gap between CPU and memory speed has made caches an integral feature of modern high- performance processors. The high degree of configurability of cache memory can require extensive design space exploration and is generally performed using execution-driven or trace-driven simulation. Execution-driven simulators can be highly accurate but require a detailed development flow and may impose performance costs. Trace-driven simulators are an efficient alternative but maintaining large traces can present storage and portability problems. We propose a distribution-driven trace generation methodology as an alternative to traditional execution- and trace- driven simulation. An adaptation of the Least Recently Used Stack Model is used to concisely capture the key locality features in a trace and a two-state Markov chain model is used for trace generation. Simulation and analysis of a variety of embedded application traces demonstrate the cacheability characteristics of the synthetic traces are generally very well preserved and similar to their real trace, and we also highlight the potential performance improvement over ISA emulation.
Intracellular localization of samarium in the lactating mammary gland cells: Ultrastructural and microanalytical study

The frequent use of some rare earths in the medical and industrial domains make us worry about their intracellular behavior into the body. Reason for which we have investigated the subcellular localization of one of these elements, the samarium, in the mammary gland of lactating female wistar rats using two very sensitive methods of observation and microanalysis, the transmission electron microscopy and the secondary ion mass spectrometry. The ultrastructural study showed the presence of electron dense deposits in the lactating mammary glandular epithelial cell lysosomes of the samarium‐treated rats, but no loaded lysosomes were observed in those of control rats. The microanalytical study allowed both the identification of the chemical species present in those deposits as samarium isotopes (152Sm+) and the cartography of its distribution. Our results confirm the previous ones showing that lysosomes of the glandular epithelial cells are the site of the intracellular concentration of foreign elements such as gallium. The intralysosomal deposits observed in the mammary glandular cells of the samarium‐treated rats are similar in their form and density to those observed with the same element in other varieties of cells, such as liver, bone marrow, and spleen cells. Our ultrastructural and microanalytical results and those obtained in previous studies allow deducing that the intralysosomal deposits are very probably composed of an insoluble samarium phosphate salt. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Corrádi and Hajnal's Theorem for Sparse Random Graphs

In this paper we extend a classical theorem of Corrádi and Hajnal into the setting of sparse random graphs. We show that if p(n) ≫ (log n/n)1/2, then asymptotically almost surely every subgraph of G(n, p) with minimum degree at least (2/3 + o(1))np contains a triangle packing that covers all but at most O(p−2) vertices. Moreover, the assumption on p is optimal up to the (log n)1/2 factor and the presence of the set of O(p−2) uncovered vertices is indispensable. The main ingredient in the proof, which might be of independent interest, is an embedding theorem which says that if one imposes certain natural regularity conditions on all three pairs in a balanced 3-partite graph, then this graph contains a perfect triangle packing.
