Husband's Esteem Predicts his Mate Retention Tactics

delity or prevent their defection from the relationship. These tactics include low-risk acts that render the current relationship more attractive by bestowing benefits on the woman, as well as cost-inflicting acts that render defection from the relationship risky or dangerous for her. Previous research has linked men's mate retention behavior with men's mate value (value as a current or potential partner) using women's reports. The current research addresses limitations of that research using self-reports and cross-spousal reports from 107 married couples concerning their self-esteem and their esteem for their partner. The results indicate that the level of esteem that wives have for their husbands is positively associated with their perception of their husband's use of positive inducements and negatively associated with their husband's self-reported use of cost-inflicting mate retention behaviors (i.e., Direct Guarding, Intersexual Negative Inducements, and Intrasexual Negative Inducements). The level of self-esteem reported by men was negatively associated with their self-reported direct guarding behavior. Discussion explores the possibility that esteem—both self-esteem and esteem from one's partner—functions as an internal gauge of relative mate value.
Inauthenticity and Depression

Interactive service jobs are an increasingly important feature of the occupational landscape. Despite over a decade of rising employment within this segment of the economy, researchers are only beginning to specify the occupational conditions of service sector jobs and the mechanisms through which such conditions may affect mental health. Here we examine the experience of inauthenticity on the job as useful not only for understanding workers' responses to particular facets of interactive service work but also for identifying the conditions under which such work may lead to increased psychological distress. Findings show that inauthenticity mediates the relationship between interactive service work conditions and depressed mood. Additionally, having to be good at people-handling skills tends to be associated with increased feelings of inauthenticity at work whereas working more frequently with other people and having control over one's work tend to reduce the likelihood of such feelings.
Preclinical safety and activity of recombinant VSV‐IFN‐β in an immunocompetent model of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

Recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus expressing interferon‐β (VSV‐IFN‐β) has demonstrated antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo. In preparation for clinical testing in human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck, we conducted preclinical studies of VSV‐IFN‐β in syngeneic SCC models.
Intergenerational Exchange Patterns and their Correlates in an Aging Israeli Cohort

Based on data from a national sample of people age 60 and older in Israel, this analysis addressed intergenerational exchange among Jewish respondents with children. Data on financial and instrumental help given to children and received from them allowed identification of four exchange patterns: an equal extent of exchange between parents and children, an unbalanced rate of exchange in which parents received more from their children than they gave, an unbalanced rate of exchange in which parents gave more to their children than they received, and lack of any exchange. Multinomial logistic regression analysis underscored the association of different social and health correlates across the different patterns of familial transfer (Nagelkerke pseudo R 2=.43). The findings also suggest the possibility that exchange patterns change across the life cycle, in accordance with the changing social and health status of the family members engaged in the exchange.
Residential Segregation and Diabetes Risk among Latinos.

OBJECTIVE To examine whether residence in ethnically segregated metropolitan areas is associated with increased diabetes risk for Latinos in the United States. METHODS Population data from the 2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and the 2005 American Community Survey were used to determine whether higher levels of Latino-White segregation across metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the United States is associated with increased diabetes risk among Latinos (n=7462). RESULTS No significant relationship (P<.05) between levels of segregation and diabetes risk was observed. CONCLUSION The research literature examining the impact of residential segregation on health outcomes remains equivocal for Latinos.
Yeast Dam1p has a role at the kinetochore in assembly of the mitotic spindle

During mitosis, replicated chromosomes are separated to daughter cells by the microtubule-based mitotic spindle. Chromosomes attach to the mitotic spindle through specialized DNA/protein structures called kinetochores, but the mechanism of attachment is not well understood. We show here that the yeast microtubule-binding protein, Dam1p, associates physically and functionally with kinetochores, suggesting a role in kinetochore attachment to the spindle. An epitope-tagged version of Dam1p colocalizes with the integral kinetochore component Ndc10p/Cbf2p in immunofluorescence analysis of chromosome spreads. In addition, Dam1p is associated preferentially with centromeric DNA as shown by chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments, and this association depends on Ndc10p/Cbf2p. We also demonstrate genetic interactions between DAM1 and CTF19 or SLK19 genes encoding kinetochore proteins. Although the defect caused by the dam1-1 mutation leads to activation of the spindle checkpoint surveillance system and consequent persistence of sister chromatid cohesion, the metaphase arrest spindle abnormally elongates, resulting in virtually complete chromosome missegregation. Execution point experiments indicate that Dam1p has a role in formation of a metaphase spindle and in anaphase spindle elongation. Finally, we have observed that the protein encoded by the dam1-1 allele becomes delocalized at the nonpermissive temperature, correlating with the subsequent onset of the mutant phenotype. Our studies are consistent with a role for Dam1p in attachment of sister chromatids through the kinetochore to the mitotic spindle before chromosome segregation.
Reference Points and Omission Bias

Abstract Subjects were asked to evaluate the choice of options leading to known outcomes, or to say how they would feel about a chance outcome, in hypothetical decisions. We independently manipulated the value of the status quo and the assignment of the better or worse outcome to an act or an omission. Acts leading to the worse outcome were always considered worse than omissions leading to the worse outcome. This act-omission difference was reduced or reversed for the better outcome. Most experiments showed an overall bias toward omissions (combining better and worse). Little evidence was found for greater omission bias for losses relative to the status quo than for gains. A bias toward maintaining the status quo itself was found, however, independently of omission bias. Most of the results can be explained by norm theory and by loss aversion, but other possible accounts are inconsistent with the results.
BUSINESS ETHICS AND POLITICS

What is the relation of business ethics to politics? My answer has two parts. Firstl business ethics exists quite apart from politics in matters of simple basic ethical norms like those prohibiting Iying, wanton injury, sexual harrassment. One would be foolish to unsettle this settled ethics as A. Z. Carr does in this article, 'Xls Business Bluffing Ethical? " For the business community thus loses the public's trust and invites a government regulation of business smothering to business and burdensome to government. Second, there are issues in business ethics which do not represent a settled and shared and common ethics because they represent a choice between competing, almost equally attractive, values. These problems in business ethics can only have a political solution. Politics here reptesents the commitment to different basic values and will represent liberal and conservative extremes or some compromise in-between. The solution acceptable for these problems will change with the political climate and will be unstable. We should strive to keep the basic, simple, settled, ethical issues in business out of politics, and we should strive to be frank about our political differences as we needfully politicize the solutions to the more complex unsettled problems in business ethics.
Index extraction for electromagnetic field evaluation of high power wireless charging system

This paper presents the precise dosimetry for highly resonant wireless power transfer (HR-WPT) system using an anatomically realistic human voxel model. The dosimetry for the HR-WPT system designed to operate at 13.56 MHz frequency, which one of the ISM band frequency band, is conducted in the various distances between the human model and the system, and in the condition of alignment and misalignment between transmitting and receiving circuits. The specific absorption rates in the human body are computed by the two-step approach; in the first step, the field generated by the HR-WPT system is calculated and in the second step the specific absorption rates are computed with the scattered field finite-difference time-domain method regarding the fields obtained in the first step as the incident fields. The safety compliance for non-uniform field exposure from the HR-WPT system is discussed with the international safety guidelines. Furthermore, the coupling factor concept is employed to relax the maximum allowable transmitting power. Coupling factors derived from the dosimetry results are presented. In this calculation, the external magnetic field from the HR-WPT system can be relaxed by approximately four times using coupling factor in the worst exposure scenario.
Where is the Landmark? Eye Tracking Studies in Large-Scale Indoor Environments

Several studies show that the use of landmarks is crucial for pedestrian navigations systems. Furthermore, there are well-defined landmark features like its visual salience. However, the assessment and the selection of landmarks especially in large scale indoor environments is rarely examined. We conducted a user study in the university of Regensburg and assessed the visual attraction of objects with an eye tracker. Our finndings show that functional landmarks like doors and stairs are most likely to be looked at and named as a landmark. Moreover, we could prove that measuring visual salience only is not suffcient to identify landmarks with regard to the use in a pedestrian navigation system.
Interaction between CXCR4 and CCL20 Pathways Regulates Tumor Growth

The chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 is overexpressed in the majority of tumors and is critically involved in the development and metastasis of these tumors. CXCR4 is expressed in malignant tumor cells whereas its ligand SDF-1 (CXCL12) is expressed mainly by cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF). Similarly to CXCR4, the chemokine CCL20 is overexpressed in variety of tumors; however its role and regulation in tumors is not fully clear. Here, we show that the chemokine receptor CXCR4 stimulates the production of the chemokine CCL20 and that CCL20 stimulates the proliferation and adhesion to collagen of various tumor cells. Furthermore, overexpression of CCL20 in tumor cells promotes growth and adhesion in vitro and increased tumor growth and invasiveness in vivo. Moreover, neutralizing antibodies to CCL20 inhibit the in vivo growth of tumors that either overexpress CXCR4 or CCL20 or naturally express CCL20. These results reveal a role for CCL20 in CXCR4-dependent and -independent tumor growth and suggest a therapeutic potential for CCL20 and CCR6 antagonists in the treatment of CXCR4- and CCL20-dependent malignancies.
Energy optimization of submerged arc furnace

To reduce the production cost, it is necessary to optimize the energy cost. In this paper, we focus on power as energy can be directly determined by power. In general, it is compulsory to have an objective function before using an optimization algorithm to find the optimal result. However, modeling is difficult using mathematical functions according to the mechanisms of the actual furnace plant system because of its complexity and many disturbances. The neural networks have been chosen because of its easy to use in modeling nonlinear functions such as the furnace plant. Then the particle swarm optimization is used to optimize neural network model of the three-phase submerged arc furnace. Finally, the optimization result is validated using the real samples as the objective function is not the real furnace plant.
Three-dimensional organization of promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies

Promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) are mobile subnuclear organelles formed by PML and Sp100 protein. They have been reported to have a role in transcription, DNA replication and repair, telomere lengthening, cell cycle control and tumor suppression. We have conducted high-resolution 4Pi fluorescence laser-scanning microscopy studies complemented with correlative electron microscopy and investigations of the accessibility of the PML-NB subcompartment. During interphase PML-NBs adopt a spherical organization characterized by the assembly of PML and Sp100 proteins into patches within a 50- to 100-nm-thick shell. This spherical shell of PML and Sp100 imposes little constraint to the exchange of components between the PML-NB interior and the nucleoplasm. Post-translational SUMO modifications, telomere repeats and heterochromatin protein 1 were found to localize in characteristic patterns with respect to PML and Sp100. From our findings, we derived a model that explains how the three-dimensional organization of PML-NBs serves to concentrate different biological activities while allowing for an efficient exchange of components.
The Effects of Mood, Involvement, and Quality of Store Experience on Shopping Intentions

This article proposes that consumer mood, involvement level, and the quality of the shopping experience have significant effects on shopping intentions. Results from a laboratory experiment reveal that mood interacts with involvement and shopping experience. Involved subjects are found to magnify their evaluations of the shopping experience, subjects in good moods evaluate good experiences still better, and a bad shopping experience appears to cause mood-protection mechanisms to fail. Finally, consumer mood is shown to be affected by a bad shopping experience. Copyright 1993 by the University of Chicago.
On misunderstanding science

Abstract The paper examines the differences between Kuhn's account, in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, of the sciences as necessarily communal activities with internally set standards of procedure and achievement, and that view of the sciences which calls itself ‘Scientific Realism’ and regards them as striving toward, and perhaps asymptotically approaching, some external and objective reality that bestows truth or falsity on scientific theories. The main argument turns on Poincare's demonstration that Newton's Second Law (f = ma) is not a testable, provable proposition with a truth value, but something that is simply adopted. It is adopted in the light of experience, certainly, but there is no logical necessity in the adoption. My suggestion is that it is a ‘way of looking’ and ‘a method of analysis’ and that the necessity of its adoption by any individual lies in its being a necessary condition of entry into the scientific community. That community itself adopts ways of looking or methods of an.

Enhanced Seam Carving via Integration of Energy Gradient Functionals

This letter proposes an improved seam carving approach for content-aware image retargeting. The proposed algorithm extends upon the backward and forward energy cost functionals used in previous seam carving methods by incorporating an energy gradient cost functional in the optimization process. This combined absolute energy cost functional penalizes seam candidates that cross areas of local extrema, which characterizes regions with high concentrations of “important” image detail. Experiments show superior visual quality results using the proposed absolute energy cost functional over existing methods on a variety of images characterized by high image detail concentration.
Impact of social support on cognitive symptom burden in HIV/AIDS

Abstract As many as 50% of people living with HIV/AIDS report cognitive difficulties, which can be associated with objective neuropsychological impairments and depression. A number of studies have demonstrated an association between higher social support and lower rates of depression. Using a cross-sectional design, we examined the role social support may play in attenuating the effects of both neuropsychological status and depression on cognitive difficulties. A total of 357 participants completed a battery of neuropsychological tests, questionnaires about cognitive difficulties and depression, and an interview that included an assessment of perceived level of social support. A multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that higher levels of cognitive symptom burden were significantly associated with depression (P<0.05) while lower levels of cognitive symptom burden were significantly associated with greater social support (P<0.01) and higher level of education (P<0.05). There was a significant interaction between neuropsychological status and depression (P<0.001); the presence of neuropsychological impairment with depression was associated with higher levels of cognitive symptom burden. There was also a significant interaction between social support and depression (P<0.05). Interestingly, social support was also associated with a lower cognitive symptom burden for non-depressed individuals living with HIV/AIDS. These findings have important clinical implications for promoting psychological well-being in persons living with HIV/AIDS. To improve quality of life, it is important to screen for and identify individuals with HIV/AIDS who may be depressed and to intervene appropriately. Further research should examine the potential role of social support interventions in modifying the effects of both depression and neuropsychological status on cognitive symptom burden.
Magnetic and magnetocaloric properties and the magnetic phase diagram of single-crystal dysprosium

Magnetic materials exhibiting magnetic phase transitions simultaneously with structural rearrangements of their crystalline lattices hold promise for numerous practical applications including magnetic refrigeration, magnetomechanical devices, and sensors. We undertook a detailed study of a single crystal of dysprosium metal, which is a classical example of a system where magnetic and crystallographic sublattices can be either coupled or decoupled from one another. Magnetocaloric effect, magnetization, ac magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity of high-purity single crystals of dysprosium have been investigated over broad temperature and magnetic field intervals with the magnetic field vector parallel to either thea or c axes of the crystal. Notable differences in the behavior of the physical properties when compared to Dy samples studied in the past have been observed between 110 and 125 K, and between 178 and ,210 K. A plausible mechanism based on the formation of antiferromagnetic clusters in the impure Dy has been suggested in order to explain the reduction of the magnetocaloric effect in the vicinity of the Neel point of relatively impure samples. Experimental and theoretical investigations of the influence of commensurability effects on the magnetic phase diagram and the value of the magnetocaloric effect have been conducted. The presence of newly found anomalies in the physical properties has been considered as evidence of previously unreported states of Dy. The refined magnetic phase diagram of dysprosium with the magnetic field vector parallel to the a axis of a crystal has been constructed and discussed.
MULTIPLE RADIAL COOL MOLECULAR FILAMENTS IN NGC 1275

We have extended our previous observation of NGC 1275 (Perseus A (Per A), the central giant elliptical galaxy in the Perseus Cluster) covering a central radius of ∼10 kpc to the entire main body of cool molecular gas spanning ∼14 kpc east and west of the center. We find no new features beyond the region previously mapped, and show that all six spatially resolved features on both the eastern and western sides (three on each side) comprise radially aligned filaments. Such radial filaments can be most naturally explained by a model in which gas deposited “upstream” in localized regions experiencing a X-ray cooling flow subsequently free falls along the gravitational potential of Per A, as we previously showed can explain the observed kinematics of the two longest filaments. All the detected filaments coincide with locally bright Hα features, and have a ratio of CO(2–1) to Hα luminosity of ∼10−3; we show that these filaments have lower star formation efficiencies than the nearly constant value found for molecular gas in nearby normal spiral galaxies. On the other hand, some at least equally luminous Hα features, including a previously identified giant H ii region, show no detectable cool molecular gas with a corresponding ratio at least a factor of ∼5 lower; in the giant H ii region, essentially all the pre-existing molecular gas may have been converted to stars. We demonstrate that all the cool molecular filaments are gravitationally bound, and without any means of support beyond thermal pressure should collapse on timescales ≲106 yr. By comparison, as we showed previously, the two longest filaments have much longer dynamical ages of ∼107 yr. Tidal shear may help delay their collapse, but more likely turbulent velocities of at least a few tens of km s-1 or magnetic fields with strengths of at least several ∼10 μG are required to support these filaments.
