Wanting to and Doing So: Parental Intent to Change Weight Does Not Translate Into Behavior Journal of Child & Adolescent Behavior

Objective: Because poor parental recognition of overweight is so common in young children, we sought to determine whether demographics or family behaviors differed in children whose parents were actively trying to reduce excess weight in their child compared with those who were unaware there was an issue. Methods: Parents of 271 overweight (body mass index≥85th) children aged 4-8 years completed questionnaires on demographics, weight, feeding practices, social desirability, dietary intake, and home food availability. Children wore accelerometers over 7 days to measure physical activity/inactivity. Results: 113 parents (41.7%) classified their child as overweight, 96 (35.4%) indicated at least some concern, but only 66 (24.4%) parents were trying to (probably or definitely) change their child’s weight. In total, 56 children met all three criteria. These children were older, heavier and more likely to be female (P<0.001), but did not differ in socioeconomic status (P=0.614), maternal education (P=0.615), or ethnicity (P=0.051), compared to the remaining children. Few differences in feeding practices were observed, except for higher food restriction in those trying to change their child’s weight (P<0.001). These children were significantly less physically active (P=0.033) and more sedentary (P=0.002) than the other children. Despite strong intent to change the diet (P<0.001), this did not translate to differences in home food availability or dietary intake. Social desirability was also not related to efforts to change. Conclusion: Parental awareness of excess weight in young children and attempts to address the issue do not appear to translate into healthier behaviors in the home.
Slower-than-Light Spin-1/2 Particles Endowed with Negative Mass Squared

Extending in a straightforward way the standard Dirac theory, we study a quantum mechanical wave equation describing free spinning particles — which we propose to call Pseudotachyons (PT's) — which behave like tachyons in the momentum space (p2 = -m2), but like subluminal particles (v < c) in the ordinary space. This is allowed since, as it happens in every quantum theory for spin- particles, the momentum operator, -i ∇, (that is conserved), and the velocity operator α, (that is not), are independent operators, which refer to independent quantities: . As a consequence, at variance with ordinary Dirac particles, for PT's the average velocity is not equal to the classical velocity vcl = p/e, but actually to the velocity "dual" of vcl : ep/p2. Being reciprocal of |vcl|, the speed of PT's is therefore smaller than the light speed. Since a lot of experimental data seems to involve a negative mass squared for neutrinos, we suggest that these particles might be PT's, travelling, because of their very small mass, at subluminal speeds very close to the light one. The present theory is shown to be separately invariant under the C, P, T transformations; the covariance under Lorentz transformations is also proven. Furthermore, we derive the kinematical constraints linking 4-impulse, 4-velocity and 4-polarization of free PT's.
LIMITING GEODESICS FOR FIRST-PASSAGE PERCOLATION ON SUBSETS OF Z 2

It is an open problem to show that in two-dimensional ﬁrst-passage percolation, the sequence of ﬁnite geodesics from any point to (n, 0 ) has a limit in n . In this paper, we consider this question for ﬁrst-passage percolation on a wide class of subgraphs of Z 2 : those whose vertex set is inﬁnite and connected with an inﬁnite connected complement. This includes, for instance, slit planes, half-planes and sectors. Writing x n for the sequence of boundary vertices, we show that the sequence of geodesics from any point to x n has an almost sure limit assuming only existence of ﬁnite geodesics. For all passage-time conﬁgurations, we show existence of a limiting Busemann function. Specializing to the case of the half-plane, we prove that the limiting geodesic graph has one topological end; that is, all its inﬁnite geodesics coalesce, and there are no backward inﬁnite paths. To do this, we prove in the Appendix existence of geodesics for all product measures in our domains and remove the moment assumption of the Wehr–Woo theorem on absence of bigeodesics in the half-plane.
The Aquila Digital Community Genetic Evidence for Multiple Sources of the NonNative Fish Cichlasoma urophtalmus (Günther; Mayan Cichlids) in Southern Florida

The number and diversity of source populations may influence the genetic diversity of newly introduced populations and affect the likelihood of their establishment and spread. We used the cytochrome b mitochondrial gene and nuclear microsatellite loci to identify the sources of a successful invader in southern Florida, USA, Cichlasoma urophthalmus (Mayan cichlid). Our cytochrome b data supported an introduction from Guatemala, while our microsatellite data suggested movement of Mayan Cichlids from the upper Yucata ´ n Peninsula to Guatemala and introductions from Guatemala and Belize to Florida. The mismatch between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes suggests admixture of a female lineage from Guatemala, where all individuals were fixed for the mitochondrial haplotype found in the introduced population, and a more diverse but also relatively small number of individuals from Belize. The Florida cytochrome b haplotype appears to be absent from Belize (0 out of 136 fish screened from Belize had this haplotype). Genetic structure within the Florida population was minimal, indicating a panmictic population, while Mexican and Central American samples displayed more genetic subdivision. Individuals from the Upper Yucata´n Peninsula and the Pete´n region of Guatemala were more genetically similar to each other than to fish from nearby sites and movement of Mayan Cichlids between these regions occurred thousands of generations ago, suggestive of pre-Columbian human transportation of Mayan Cichlids through this region. Mayan Cichlids present a rare example of cytonuclear disequilibrium and reduced genetic diversity in the introduced population that persists more than 30 years (at least 7–8 generations) after introduction. We suggest that hybridization occurred in ornamental fish farms in Florida and may contribute their establishment in the novel habitat. Hybridization prior to release may contribute to other successful invasions.

Increasing Students’ Interest by Encouraging them to Create Original Lab Projects

– Sometimes traditional lab projects based on standard kits and modules fail to stimulate students’ interest and creativity. This paper presents a novel laboratory concept which allows students to develop their own lab projects using open-source resources. The lab experiment includes competition aspects allowing every student to come up with ideas of which the best are selected. The lab projects include both hard and software components using Arduino-compatible systems and interfaces. Before starting the practical activities as well as after the completion of the lab session, the students were asked to fill in an anonymous questionnaire.
The Durham adaptive optics real-time controller: Capability and ELT suitability

The Durham adaptive optics real-time controller is a generic, high performance real-time control system for astronomical adaptive optics systems. It has recently had new features added as well as performance improvements, and here we give details of these, as well as ways in which optimisations can be made for speciﬁc adaptive optics systems and hardware implementations. We also present new measurements that show how this real-time control system could be used with any existing adaptive optics system, and also show that when used with modern hardware, it has high enough performance to be used with most Extremely Large Telescope adaptive optics systems.
A Case Based Study on Decision Tree Induction with AVL-Tree

— Data Mining is one of the eminent research fields to find interesting trends or patterns in large datasets. In order to work with the numeric or categorical data, the classification technique suits well for analyzing and processing for wider variety of large databases. Efficiency and scalability are fundamental issues concerning data mining in large databases. This paper describes the stability and quality of quantifiable elements among the given datasets and presented the representations of AVL trees for stability and Decision trees for quality. Further, the approach was extended and implemented for the employability of the students as large data sets for an educational institute.
Demonstration of Ranking Issues for Students: A Case Study

This article uses a case study of 2001 town and city data that we analyzed for Boston Magazine. We use this case study to demonstrate the challenges of creating a valid ranking structure. The data consist of three composite indices for 147 individual townships in the Boston metropolitan area representing measures of public safety; the environment; and health. We report the data and the basic ranking procedure used in the magazine article, as well as a discussion of alternative ranking procedures. In particular, we demonstrate the impact of additional adjustment for the size of population, even when per capita data are used. This case study presents an opportunity for discussion of fundamental data analysis concepts in all levels of statistics courses.
Sign patterns that allow strong eventual nonnegativity Sign patterns that allow strong eventual nonnegativity

Abstract A new class of sign patterns contained in the class of sign patterns that allow eventual nonnegativity is introduced and studied. A sign pattern is potentially strongly eventually nonnegative (PSEN) if there is a matrix with this sign pattern that is eventually nonnegative and has some power that is both nonnegative and irreducible. Using Perron-Frobenius theory and a matrix perturbation result, it is proved that a PSEN sign pattern is either potentially eventually positive or r-cyclic. The minimum number of positive entries in an n x n PSEN sign pattern is shown to be n, and PSEN sign patterns of orders 2 and 3 are characterized. Abstract.

CIRCADIAN RHYTHM OF METABOLIC RATES IN THE SALIVA OF PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

According to our hypothesis, one of the mechanisms in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases may be metabolic changes that are inadequate with the functional responses of adaptation, indicating the disruption of the functional and metabolic continuum (FMC). We suggested to study the daily rate of change in metabolism and hormonal regulation (morning vs. evening) in the saliva to diagnose the FMC disorders. In order to detect the FMC changes in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM2) complicated by arterial hypertension (AH), we studied the parameters of FMC and endocrine regulation in the saliva in the morning and in the evening as compared to patients with diabetes mellitus. Previously, we have shown that in compensated DM2, there are changes in the energy metabolism, induced by hormonal regulation. These changes can be controlled with daily saliva monitoring. The study of the daily rhythm of in the saliva parameters makes it possible to conclude that in DM2, and especially in its progress, as evidenced by the accession of hypertension, there are disorders of FMC. One of its consequences is the development of oxidative stress, which is considered as one of the leading secondary mechanisms in the pathogenesis of DM2.
Unsupervised training of deep learning based image denoisers from undersampled measurements

Compressive sensing is a method to recover the original image from undersampled measurements. In order to overcome the ill-posedness of this inverse problem, image priors are used such as sparsity, minimal total-variation, or self-similarity of images. Recently, deep learning based compressive image recovery methods have been proposed and have yielded state-of-the-art performances. They used data-driven approaches instead of hand-crafted image priors to regularize ill-posed inverse problems with undersampled data. Ironically, training deep neural networks (DNNs) for them requires “clean” ground truth images, but obtaining the best quality images from undersampled data requires well-trained DNNs. To resolve this dilemma, we propose novel methods based on two well-grounded theories: denoiser-approximate message passing (D-AMP) and Stein’s unbiased risk estimator (SURE). Our proposed methods, LDAMP SURE and LDAMP SURE-T, were able to train deep learning based image denoisers from undersampled measurements without ground truth images and without additional image priors and to recover images with state-of-the-art qualities from undersampled data. We evaluated our methods for various compressive sensing recovery problems with Gaussian random, coded diﬀraction pattern, and compressive sensing MRI (CS-MRI) measurement matrices. Our proposed methods yielded state-of-the-art performances for all cases without ground truth images. Our methods also yielded comparable performances to the approaches with ground truth data. Moreover, we have extended our methods to deal with a Gaussian noise in a measurement domain and further enhance reconstruction quality by developing image reﬁning method called LDAMP SURE-FT.
CALL Methods in cell physiology Microarray-based comparison of three ampliﬁcation methods for nanogram amounts of total RNA

Microarray-based comparison of three ampliﬁcation methods for nanogram amounts of total RNA. Am Physiol Cell Physiol C1179–C1189, 2005. expression proﬁling using microarrays requires microgram amounts of RNA, which limits its direct application for the study of nanogram RNA samples obtained using microdissection, laser capture microscopy, or needle biopsy. A novel system based on Ribo-SPIA technology (RS, Ova-tion-Biotin ampliﬁcation and labeling system) was recently introduced. The utility of the RS system, an optimized prototype system for picogram RNA samples (pRS), and two T7-based systems involv-ing one or two rounds of ampliﬁcation (OneRA, Standard Protocol, or TwoRA, Small Sample Prototcol, version II) were evaluated in the present study. Mouse kidney (MK) and mouse universal reference (MUR) RNA samples, 0.3 ng to 10 (cid:1) g, were analyzed using high-density Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 GeneChip arrays. Call concordance between replicates, correlations of signal intensity, signal intensity ratios, and minimal fold increase necessary for signiﬁcance were determined. All systems ampliﬁed partially overlapping sets of genes with similar signal intensity correlations. pRS ampliﬁed the highest number of genes from 10-ng RNA samples. We detected 24 of 26 genes veriﬁed by RT-PCR in samples prepared using pRS. TwoRA yielded somewhat higher call concordances than did RS and pRS (91.8% vs. 89.3% and 88.1%, respectively). Although all target preparation methods were suitable, pRS ampliﬁed the highest number of targets and was found to be suitable for ampliﬁcation of as little as 0.3 ng of total RNA. In addition, RS and pRS were faster and simpler to use than the T7-based methods and resulted in the generation of cDNA, which is more stable than cRNA.
The mediating role of consumers’ perception of atmosphere on emotions and behavior. A study to analyze the impact of lighting in food retailing

: This paper focuses on the influence of a store’s environment on consumers’ perception of atmosphere, experienced emotions and behavior. We describe an experiment in which we manipulate lighting, as one aspect of the environment, in a three-dimensional simulated lab supermarket. Three different lighting settings, corresponding to three different supermarkets in Belgium, were implemented in a simulated store, while participants were observed during their shopping task and were questioned regarding their mood, emotions, and perceptions such as perceived atmosphere quality level. The results show that the lighting setting in a retail environment can indeed affect the perceived atmosphere and can even result in a correct identification of the real-life setting on which it was based. Moreover, the type of feelings brought about by the store, i.e., a positive versus a negative emotional response, was shown to be linked to the perceived atmosphere, although little difference in behavioral response was found. It appears that even with only a relatively subtle difference in lighting, an otherwise identical supermarket environment can be given a different, or even very specific, atmosphere.
Ocean acidiﬁcation reduces growth and grazing impact of Antarctic heterotrophic nanoﬂagellates

High-latitude oceans have been identiﬁed as particularly vulnerable to ocean acidiﬁcation if anthropogenic CO 2 emissions continue. Marine microbes are an essential part of the marine food web and are a critical link in biogeochemical processes in the ocean, such as the cycling of nutrients and carbon. Despite this, the response of Antarctic marine microbial communities to ocean acidiﬁcation is poorly understood. We investigated the effect of increasing f CO 2 on the growth of heterotrophic nanoﬂagellates (HNFs), nano- and picophytoplankton, and prokaryotes (heterotrophic Bacteria and Archaea) in a natural coastal Antarctic marine microbial community from Prydz Bay, East Antarctica. At CO 2 levels ≥ 634 µatm, HNF abundance was reduced, coinciding with increased abundance of picophytoplankton and prokaryotes. This increase in picophytoplankton and prokaryote abundance was due to a reduction in top-down control of grazing HNFs. Nanophytoplankton was in the 634 µatm treatment, suggesting that moderate increases in CO 2 may stimulate growth. we observed in this study could have signiﬁcant effects on the food web and biogeochemistry in coastal Antarctic waters.
Analysis The effects of wild ﬁ re and environmental amenities on property values in northwest Montana, USA

This study employed the hedonic price framework to examine the effects of 256 wild ﬁ res and environmental amenities on home values in northwest Montana between June 1996 and January 2007. The study revealed environmental amenities, including proximity to lakes, national forests, Glacier National Park and golf courses, have large positive effects on property values in northwest Montana. However, proximity to and view of wild ﬁ re burned areas has had large and persistent negative effects on home values. The analysis supports an argument that homebuyers may correlate proximity to and view of a wild ﬁ re burned area with increased wild ﬁ re risk. Indeed, when a burned area is not visible from a home, wild ﬁ re risk appears to be out of sight and out of mind for homebuyers. Findings from this research can be used to inform debate about ef ﬁ cient allocation of resources to wild ﬁ re preparedness, including public education programs, and suppression activities around the wildland – urban interface.
