Lowering Expectations: How Candidate Demeanor Affects Voter Attitudes

Demeanor is the verbal and nonverbal style that politicians adopt when appearing before a public audience. I theorize that voters react negatively when a public figure exhibits demeanor that violates behavioral expectations, which are set by contextual norms. However, a candidate may develop a reputation for atypical demeanor after repeated normative violations, causing them to be judged by different standards. Specifically, candidates who have a reputation for atypical demeanor are shown to suffer less severe backlash when they violate behavioral norms. In contrast, candidates who do not have such a reputation are punished to a greater degree when they behave atypically because these episodes are unexpected to voters. Experimental evidence demonstrates that demeanor can have important effects on voter evaluations of candidates, and that candidate reputation plays a key conditioning role on these effects. These findings have implications for how electorally-minded candidates might behave to most effectively present themselves to voters.
Topology Proceedings

We construct a family of 2א1 trees of size א1 and no uncountable branches that in a certain way codes all ω1sequences of infinite subsets of ω. This coding allows us to conclude that in the presence of the club guessing between א1 and א0, these trees are pairwise very different. In such circumstances we can also conclude that the universality number of the ordered class of trees of size א1 with no uncountable branches under “metric-preserving” reductions must be at least the continuum. From the topological point of view, the above results show that under the same assumptions there are 2א1 pairwise non-isometrically embeddable first countable ω1metric spaces with a strong non-ccc property, and that their universality number under isometric embeddings is at least the continuum. Without the non-ccc requirement, a family of 2א1 pairwise non-isometrically embeddable first countable ω1-metric spaces exists in ZFC by an earlier result of S. Todorčević. The set-theoretic assumptions mentioned above are satisfied in many natural models of set theory (such as the ones obtained after forcing by a ccc forcing over a model of ♦). We use a similar method to discuss trees of size κ with no uncountable branches, for any regular uncountable κ. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 03E04, 54E99.
4th Generation District Heating (4GDH)

This paper defines the concept of 4th Generation District Heating (4GDH) including the relations to District Cooling and the concepts of smart energy and smart thermal grids. The motive is to identify the future challenges of reaching a future renewable non-fossil heat supply as part of the implementation of overall sustainable energy systems. The basic assumption is that district heating and cooling has an important role to play in future sustainable energy systems e including 100 percent renewable energy systems e but the present generation of district heating and cooling technologies will have to be developed further into a new generation in order to play such a role. Unlike the first three generations, the development of 4GDH involves meeting the challenge of more energy efficient buildings as well as being an integrated part of the operation of smart energy systems, i.e. integrated smart electricity, gas and thermal grids. 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Trial watch

It is now clear that the immune system plays a critical role not only during oncogenesis and tumor progression, but also as established neoplastic lesions respond to therapy. Selected cytotoxic chemicals can indeed elicit immunogenic cell death, a functionally peculiar type of apoptosis that stimulates tumor-specific cognate immune responses. Such immunogenic chemotherapeutics include cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and oxaliplatin (which are approved by FDA for the treatment of various hematological and solid malignancies), mitoxantrone (which is currently employed both as an anticancer agent and against multiple sclerosis) and patupilone (a microtubular poison in clinical development). One year ago, in the second issue of OncoImmunology, we discussed the scientific rationale behind immunogenic chemotherapy and reviewed the status of recent clinical trials investigating the off-label use of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, oxaliplatin and mitoxantrone in cancer patients. Here, we summarize the latest developments in this area of clinical research, covering both high-impact studies that have been published during the last 13 months and clinical trials that have been initiated in the same period to assess the antineoplastic profile of immunogenic chemotherapeutics.
Determinants of Household Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets Use Among Children Under 5 Years in Nigeria

Background: LLIN is one of the proven interventions adopted by the national malaria program to reduce malaria burden in Nigeria. Despite the marginal high ownership of LLIN across the geopolitical zones of Nigeria, utilization among the under-five children is low. The study aimed to identify determinants of household use of long-lasting insecticidal net among under-five children in Nigeria. Methods: A review of 2015 Malaria Indicator Survey was done. Independent variables include household’s and women socio-demographic and economic characteristics. Outcome variables of interest was LLIN use by persons in household. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis done to identify predictors of HH LLIN use in under-five children. Level of significance was set at <0.05. Results: Twenty-five thousand six hundred and thirty-nine (66.7%) of under-five children slept under LLIN the night before the conduct of the survey. There was statistically significant association (p<0.05) between age, type of residence, wealth index, fever in the last two weeks before the conduct of the survey, number of mosquito bed nets and number of sleeping rooms. Conclusion: LLIN ownership among household members most especially the under-five children were still not optimal bearing in mind the need for universal coverage of LLIN. Predictors of LLIN use among under-five children include age, type of residence, wealth index, fever in the last two weeks before the conduct of the survey, number of mosquito bed nets and number of sleeping rooms.
Induction of Barley Leaf Urease1

Foliar urea application on barley plants increased leaf urease activity for 5 hours with a peak of 20-fold at 2 hours. To discern the mode of urease induction, urea with or without inhibitors and [35S]methionine were incubated with leaf sections for different lengths of time. Urease was extracted, partially purified, electrophoresed, and then quantified by fluorogram. Five urease (U) isozymes were separated by PAGE. Ua and Ub might be polymers or complexes that occurred only at the peak of induced activity. U, and U2 appeared at 0.5 and 0.75 hour, respectively, after urea induction, peaked at 2 hours, and persisted only in treated leaves for several additional hours indicating that they are transient inducible forms. U3 was the constitutive form present in control and treated leaves. Induction with cordycepin or cycloheximide completely prevented urea stimulated activity and nullified the existence of isozymes Ua, Ub, U,, and U2. 35S-U,, which was labeled in the last hour of induction, appeared on fluorogram 1 hour after induction, peaked at 2 hours, and declined at 3 hours. Results indicated that de novo synthesis of urease is activated by
Japanese Fashion in Australia: Will Uniqlo and Australia make a fairy tale couple?

Uniqlo is the Japanese fast fashion giant and the largest Japanese apparel company in terms of net sale. Australia will become Uniqlo’s fourteenth country/territory in later 2013. Its first Australian store will open in Emporium Melbourne, a new shopping complex in central Melbourne (‘Uniqlo confirms’, 2013). Uniqlo is reported to find the Australian market attractive and with high potential (‘Uniqlo Go 1’ 2012). This makes sense when the characteristics of Japanese fashion and Australia’s fashion environments are considered. For example, contemporary Japanese fashion is known as having “bottom up” trend streams and tends to be a product of “the street. ” Australia could be an ideal place to adopt Japanese fashion as Australian fashion is regarded as informal and casual. Additionally, Australia’s modern multicultural society creates an environment where other cultures are accepted. This paper, however, will argue that the prospects for Uniqlo’s success in Australia are not as promising as they appear. It is not just that Uniqlo’s value for money items and fast fashion business model may not be the best suited for Australian consumers, but a lack of ethics at Uniqlo, especially after the accident in Bangladesh, is the biggest concern. Unfortunately, Uniqlo’s unethical practice goes beyond the sweatshop – many retail staff are reported to be harassed at Uniqlo stores in Japan. Since Australians tend to be more sensitive about ethics, particularly workplace ethics, than the Japanese, it is implausible for many Australians to support Uniqlo if they discover Uniqlo’s unethical practices.
DECIDING DIRECTIONS FOR THE BRANCH & PRUNE ALGORITHM USING GAPS - A WORST-CASE ANALYSIS

It is known that proteins are biopolymers which play important role in Life and that their geometric structures are closely related to their functions. For determining such conformations in the 3D Euclidean Space, Crippen developed an inverse problem involving Distance Geometry [1]. It consists on determining positions for the nuclei of the atoms in space which are feasible in relation to the distances among them, whose values are provided by an experimental procedure (e.g. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance). In this direction also, Liberti et al. considered three additional hypothesis to it: the Discretizable Molecular Distance Geometry Problem (DMDGP) and developed an eﬃcient combinatorial tool which explores a binary tree, the Branch&Prune (BP) Algorithm [3, 4]. Our aim, thus, is to generalize the two-direction idea for the BP, mentioned in Nucci et al. [5], and to propose a method to decide which one is better to solve the DMDGP in a worst-case analysis [2].
Automatic Visualization of Descriptive Text

: We analyze the case of putting forth a interface for generating 3D scenes from input texts. The component of natural language understanding is framed as a problem of semantic parsing, in which a structured representation of input texts is created and then linking it together for a meaningful representation of scenes in space. We incorporate a dataset of 3D objects that are recorded with natural language texts and learn how to generate 3d scenes from descriptive texts. This system renders 3D scenes for a correct user input by analyzing text parameters and also allows user to interact with the generated scene
Analyzing the macro and micro-scale response of an idealised granular material in direct shear test using 3D-DEM simulations and experimental investigations

This paper describes a promising virtual approach using SiGran (3D virtual laboratory for geotechnical applications) to observe the micro-scale behaviour of an idealized matrial in direct shear test, based on the descerete element methods (DEM). To validate the numerical simulations, a series of experimental tests were also carried out. The macro-scale results obtained from DEM simulations show good agreement with those of the laboratory tests. The micro scale results from numerical simulations also were derived showing the initiation of shear bands from the side boundaries toward the centre. When sample reached the peak state the distinct shear band along the middle plane developed and became more continuous and expansive during the post-peak. The micro scale results are in good agrrements with previoues study tried to evaluate the formation of shear band in two or three dimentional simulations. RÉSUMÉ Cet article décrit une approche virtuelle prometteuse en utilisant SiGran (laboratoire virtuel en 3D pour les applications géotechniques) pour observer le comportement à une micro-échelle d'un matériau idéal durant l'essai de cisaillement direct sur la base des méthodes d'éléments discrets (DEM). Pour valider les simulations numériques, une série d’essais de laboratoire a été effectuée. Les résultats à une macro-échelle obtenus à partir de simulations DEM montrent un bon accord avec ceux des essais de laboratoire. Les résultats à une micro-échelle obtenus montrent aussi l'initiation de bandes de cisaillement à partir des limites latérales vers le centre. Lorsque l'échantillon atteint le pic, une bande de cisaillement distincte le long du plan médian est développée et persiste davantage après le pic. Les résultats à une micro-échelle concordent avec les études réalisées dans le passé qui ont tenté d'évaluer la formation de la bande de cisaillement dans des simulations 2D ou 3D.
Effects of autologous platelet-rich plasma injections on facial skin rejuvenation

Autologous serum platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used to rejuvenate wrinkled and aged skin for years; however, the molecular mechanism for the positive effects of PRP on the skin remains unclear. The present study aimed to clarify the potential molecular mechanisms for the role of PRP in wrinkled and aged skin rejuvenation, and provide evidence for future clinical applications. A total of 30 healthy females were recruited for PRP treatment and signed informed consent was obtained. A total of 3 autologous PRP injections were administered to each patient with 15-day intervals between injections. The effects of PRP injections were evaluated using the VISIA® Complexion Analysis System and skin computed tomography. A human organotypic skin model was established and treated with PBS or PRP before ultraviolet (UV)-B light (10 mJ/cm2) irradiation. The distribution of the epidermal structure and dermal fibers were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichome staining. Expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), tyrosinase, fibrillin and tropoelastin was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blotting and immunofluorescence. The present results showed that PRP treatment improved skin quality in the participants. In addition, the VISIA® results showed that wrinkles, texture and pores were decreased in the PRP groups compared with the PBS treatment. The in vitro study demonstrated that PRP treatment ameliorated photoaging by inhibiting UV-B-induced MMP-1 and tyrosinase upregulation, and by inducing fibrillin and tropoelastin expression that was downregulated by UV-B. Collectively, it was demonstrated that PRP treatment ameliorated skin photoaging through regulation of MMP-1, tyrosinase, fibrillin and tropoelastin expression.
Differences across Place and Time in Household Expenditure Patterns: Implications for the Estimation of Equivalence Scales

Equivalence scales are often used to adjust household income for differences in characteristics that affect needs. For example, a family of two is assumed to need more income than a single person, but not double due to economies of scale in consumption. However, in comparing economic well-being across countries and/or time, we ask whether it is appropriate to use the same equivalence scale if consumption expenditure patterns differ? We estimate equivalence scales for eight countries with data ranging from 1999 to 2012, using the same Engel approach in all cases. We find considerable variation in economies of scale across countries and some increases over time. Notably, we find that economies of scale are generally larger than those implied by the ‘square root of household size’ equivalence scale. Our results have important implications when deciding whether to use a common equivalence scale in comparisions of economic well-being across place and time.

Proximate Composition and Mineral Profile of Yellow and Brown Mustard Seeds from Nigeria

The proximate composition and mineral contents of the yellow and brown varieties of mustard seeds were determined using standard procedures of Association of Official Analytical Chemists and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. The results showed that the brown seed was richer in carbohydrate (37.24%) than the yellow seed (28.42%) while the amount of fat in the yellow (41.99%) was higher than that of the brown (33%) seed. The values of other important nutrients were almost the same. Both samples had very high level of magnesium and low levels of zinc and iron. Flavonoid contents of both samples (21.08 ppm brown and 1.93 ppm yellow) were also high thereby inferring medical significance. [Ayoade Lateef Adejumo and Omowunmi Sola Agboola.

Magnetic Reconnection in the Space Sciences: Past, Present, and Future

Magnetic reconnection converts, often explosively, stored magnetic energy to particle energy in space and in the laboratory. Through processes operating on length scales that are tiny, it facilitates energy conversion over dimensions of, in some cases, hundreds of Earth radii. In addition, it is the mechanism behind large current disruptions in fusion machines, and it can explain eruptive behavior in astrophysics. We have known about the importance of magnetic reconnection for quite some time based on space observations. Theory and modeling employed magnetized fluids, a very simplistic description. While successful at modeling the large‐scale consequences of reconnection, it is ill suited to describe the engine itself. This is because, at its heart, magnetic reconnection in space is kinetic, that is, governed by the intricate interaction of charged particles with the electromagnetic fields they create. This complex interaction occurs in very localized regions and involves very short temporal variations. Researching reconnection requires the ability to measure these processes as well as to express them in models vastly more complex than fluid approaches. Until very recently, neither of these capabilities existed. With the advent of NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale mission and modern modeling advances, this has now changed, and we have now determined its small‐scale structure in exquisite detail. In this paper, we review recent research results to predict what will be achieved in the future. We discuss how reconnection contributes to the evolution of larger‐scale systems, and its societal impacts in the context of threatening space hazards, customarily referred to as “space weather. ”

H U M A N SARCOMAS I N C U L T U R E Foci oF ALTERED CELLS AND A COMMON ANTIGEN; INDUCTION OF Foci AND ANTIGEN IN HUMAN FIBROBLAST CULTURES BY FILTRATE

A major achievement of cancer research in animals has been the demonstration that several tumors of natural occurrence are caused by viruses. One of the foremost goals of human cancer research is now to identify viruses that may be responsible for any form of cancer in man. Two groups of viruses have so far emerged as important in the natural etiology of animal tumors: (a) DNA viruses of herpes-type, responsible for the Luck~ adenocarcinoma of frogs (1) and Marek's neurolymphomatosis of chickens (2), and (b) the RNA oncogenic viruses (oncornaviruses0 responsible for leukemias and sarcomas of the chicken, mouse, and cat (~, 5). Among human cancers there is evidence associating a herpes-type virus with Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, including reports that it may induce transformation of human leukocytes in vitro (6, 7). On the other hand, because of the many known examples of sarcomas and leukemias induced by oncornaviruses in animals, evidence has been sought for a similar causative virus in man. Virus of this type is often demonstrable by electron microscopy in sarcomas and leukemias of the chicken, mouse, and cat, but this has not been the case with comparable human tumors and leukemias. In man, particles with the morphology of oncornaviruses have only seldom been demonstrable and then usually in numbers so small as to raise questions about their significance (8). Nevertheless this is not strong evidence against participation of oncornaviruses in human malignancy, because many animat tumors which unquestionably are of viral origin, and which carry viral genomes, do not produce complete virus particles. For these reasons, the relatively negative morphological evidence is inconclusive.
MULTIEXPERT SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC MUSIC GENRE CLASSIFICATION

Automatic classification of music pieces by genre is one of the crucial tasks in music categorization for intelligent navigation. In this work we present a multiExpert genre classification system based on acoustic, musical and timbre features. A novel rhythmic characteristic, 2D beat histogram is used as high-level musical feature. Timbre features are extracted by multiple-f0 detection algorithm. The multiExpert classifier is composed from three individual experts: acoustic expert, rhythmic expert and timbre analysis expert. Each of these experts produces a probability of a song to belong to a genre. The output of the multiExpert classifier is a neuron network combination of individual classifiers. It was shown in this work a 12% increase of classification rate for the multiExpert system in comparison to the best individual classifier.
