Influence of specific growth rate on specific productivity and glycosylation of a recombinant avidin produced by a Pichia pastoris Mut+ strain
Authors: Schenk Jonas , Balazs Krisztina , Jungo Carmen , Urfer Julien , Wegmann Carole , Zocchi Andrea , Marison Ian W. , von Stockar Urs
Published: July 2007

A recombinant avidin‐producing Mut+ Pichia pastoris strain was used as a model organism to study the influence of the methanol feeding strategy on the specific product productivity (qp) and protein glycosylation. Fed‐batch cultivations performed at various specific growth rates (µ) and residual methanol concentrations showed that the specific avidin productivity is growth‐dependent. The specific productivity increases strongly with the specific growth rate for µ ranging from 0 to 0.02 h−1, and increases only slightly with the specific growth rate above this limit. N‐terminal glycosylation was also found to be influenced by the specific growth rate, since 9‐mannose glycans were the most abundant form at low growth rates, whereas 10‐mannose carbohydrate chains were favored at higher µ. These results show that culture parameters, such as the specific growth rate, may significantly affect the activity of glycoproteins produced in Pichia pastoris. In terms of process optimization, this suggests that a compromise on the specific growth rate may have to be found, in certain cases, to work with an acceptable productivity while avoiding the addition of many mannoses.

Stable advection‐reaction‐diffusion with arbitrary anisotropy
Authors: Kim Theodore , Lin Ming
Published: July 2007

Turing first theorized that many biological patterns arise through the processes of reaction and diffusion. Subsequently, reaction‐diffusion systems have been studied in many fields, including computer graphics. We first show that for visual simulation purposes, reaction‐diffusion equations can be made unconditionally stable using a variety of straightforward methods. Second, we propose an anisotropy embedding that significantly expands the space of possible patterns that can be generated. Third, we show that by adding an advection term, the simulation can be coupled to a fluid simulation to produce visually appealing flows. Fourth, we couple fast marching methods to our anisotropy embedding to create a painting interface to the simulation. Unconditional stability is maintained throughout, and our system runs at interactive rates. Finally, we show that on the Cell processor, it is possible to implement reaction‐diffusion on top of an existing fluid solver with no significant performance impact.

Partial least square regression on frequency shift applied to passive acoustic emission spectra
Authors: Kupyna Andriy , Rukke Elling‐Olav , Schüller Reidar Barfod , Helland Håkon , Isaksson Tomas
Published: July 2007

A novel approach for the regression on passive acoustic emission spectra is presented. Acoustic emission of the fluid flow through an orifice plate is partly characterized by frequency shifts in the spectra. Physical properties of the fluid affect the shifts and can therefore be predicted by exploiting the changes in peak positions. The positions and the corresponding amplitude of the most distinct peaks in the acoustic spectra were determined. The obtained peak positions and amplitude matrices were then used in partial least squares (PLS) regression. The proposed method was validated on two experimental datasets from passive acoustic measurements of liquid flow through an orifice plate. The liquids were a two‐component mixture of ethanol in water, and a three‐component mixture of ethanol and sucrose in water. The proposed method resulted in more parsimonious models and lower root mean squared errors of prediction (RMSEP), compared to the PLS regression on the whole acoustic spectra. The proposed method resulted in 43% lower RMSEP for prediction of ethanol in water, and 24 and 27% lower RMSEP for ethanol and water respectively in three‐component mixture. Only minor improvement in RMSEP was gained for the sucrose prediction. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Conversion of Perhydropolysilazane into a SiOx Network Triggered by Vacuum Ultraviolet Irradiation: Access to Flexible, Transparent Barrier Coatings
Authors: Prager Lutz , Dierdorf Andreas , Liebe Hubert , Naumov Sergej , Stojanović Sandra , Heller Roswitha , Wennrich Luise , Buchmeiser Michael R.
Published: July 2007

The photochemical conversion of 200–500 nm layers of perhydropolysilazane (SiH2‐NH)n (PHPS) in the presence of oxygen into an SiOx network was studied. Different UV sources in the wavelength range of 160–240 nm, that is, 172 nm Xe2* and 222 nm KrCl* excimer, and 185 nm Hg low‐pressure (HgLP) lamps were used for these purposes. The role of both ozone and O(1D) as well as of catalytic amounts of tertiary amines in the degradation process of PHPS and the formation of SiOx were studied. In this context, the kinetics of the entire reaction were elucidated and allowed both a continuous and discontinuous process to be established for the production of fully transparent, flexible barrier coatings. Barrier improvement factors (BIFs) of 400 were achieved with one single layer on 23 μm poly(ethyleneterephthalate) (PET), which translated into oxygen transmission rates (OTRs) of 0.20 cm3 m−2 day−1 bar−1. Double layers prepared by this technique allowed the realization of OTRs of ≤0.1 cm3 m−2 day−1 bar−1, corresponding to BIFs of ≥800.
Understanding the Woodward–Hoffmann Rules by Using Changes in Electron Density
Authors: Ayers Paul W. , Morell Christophe , De Proft Frank , Geerlings Paul
Published: July 2007

The Woodward‐Hoffmann rules for pericyclic reactions are explained entirely in terms of directly observable physical properties of molecules (specifically changes in electron density) without any recourse to model‐dependent concepts, such as orbitals and aromaticity. This results in a fundamental explanation of how the physics of molecular interactions gives rise to the chemistry of pericyclic reactions. This construction removes one of the key outstanding problems in the qualitative density‐functional theory of chemical reactivity (the so‐called conceptual DFT). One innovation in this paper is that the link between molecular‐orbital theory and conceptual DFT is treated very explicitly, revealing how molecular‐orbital theory can be used to provide “back‐of‐the‐envelope” approximations to the reactivity indicators of conceptual DFT.
Revealing Shape Selectivity and Catalytic Activity Trends Within the Pores of H‐ZSM‐5 Crystals by Time‐ and Space‐Resolved Optical and Fluorescence Microspectroscopy
Authors: Stavitski Eli , Kox Marianne H. F. , Weckhuysen Bert M.
Published: July 2007

A combination of in‐situ optical and fluorescence microspectroscopy has been employed to investigate the oligomerization of styrene derivatives occurring in the micropores of coffin‐shaped H‐ZSM‐5 zeolite crystals in a space‐ and time‐resolved manner. The carbocationic intermediates in this reaction act as reporter molecules for catalytic activity, since they exhibit strong optical absorption and fluorescence. In this way, reactant selectivity and restricted transition‐state selectivity for 14 substituted styrene molecules can be visualized and quantified. Based on a thorough analysis of the time‐ and space‐resolved UV/Vis spectra, it has been revealed that two main parameters affect the reaction rates, namely, the carbocation stabilization effect and the diffusion hindrance. The stabilization effect was tested by comparison of the reaction rates for 4‐methoxystyrene versus 4‐methylstyrene and in the series 4‐bromo‐, 4‐chloro and 4‐fluorostyrene; in both cases less electronegative substituents were found to accelerate the reaction. As to the steric effect, bulkier chemical groups bring down the reaction rate, as evident from the observation that 4‐methoxystyrene is more reactive than 4‐ethoxystyrene due to differences in their diffusivity, while heavily substituted styrenes, such as 3,4‐dichlorostyrene and 2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorostyrene, cannot enter the zeolite pore system and therefore do not display any reactivity. Furthermore, β‐methoxystyrene and trans‐β‐methylstyrene show limited reactivity as well as restricted reaction‐product formation due to steric constraints imposed by the H‐ZSM‐5 channel system. Finally, polarized‐light optical microspectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy demonstrate that dimeric styrene compounds are predominantly formed and aligned within the straight channels at the edges of the crystals, whereas a large fraction of trimeric carbocations along with dimeric compounds are present in the straight channels of the main body of the H‐ZSM‐5 crystals. Our results reinforce the observation of a non‐uniform catalytic behavior within zeolite crystals, with specific parts of the zeolite grains being less accessible and reactive towards reactant molecules. The prospects and potential of this combined in‐situ approach for studying large zeolite crystals in the act will be discussed.

In‐situ Flow‐Cell IRAS Observation of Intermediates during Methanol Oxidation on Low‐Index Platinum Surfaces
Authors: Nakamura Masashi , Shibutani Koji , Hoshi Nagahiro
Published: July 2007

Structural effects on intermediate species of methanol oxidation are studied on low‐index planes of platinum using in‐situ infrared (IR) spectroscopy. A flow cell is designed for rapid migration of reactant and product species on the electrode surface. IR spectra show adsorption of formate and the formation of carbonate species on the Pt(111) surface at potentials higher than that of CO oxidation. The band assignments for carbonate and formate are confirmed by vibrational isotope shifts. On Pt(100), the absorption band of adsorbed formate is much smaller than that on Pt(111). On the other hand, there is no adsorbed formate on Pt(110) in the potential region examined. The band intensity of formate follows the order: Pt(111)>Pt(100)>Pt(110). This order is opposite to that of the current density in the regions of higher potential. Adsorbed formate on Pt(111) behaves like a catalyst‐poisoning intermediate, like adsorbed CO.
Family mediation in England: Strategies for gaining acceptance
Authors: Walker Janet A.
Published: July 2007

Family mediation in England and Wales has been growing slowly for nearly fifteen years. Traditional attitudes toward family life and the undesirability of divorce have rendered it difficult for mediators to convince the government that providing services for divorcing families ultimately contributes to the stability of family life and safeguards the best interests of children. Recent research, changes in family law, and improved interprofessional cooperation and respect are now providing unprecedented opportunities for the acceptance of family mediation as an alternative dispute resolution process for divorcing couples.
The acceptance of family mediation in Australia
Authors: Charlesworth Stephanie
Published: July 2007

Institutional acceptance of mediation in Australia depends to a great extent on government policy and on legislation incorporating dispute resolution in pre‐court procedures. The Federal Family Law Act of 1975 has, for example, played a major role in promoting conciliation in family matters. However, its effects have been paradoxical: the Act has to a certain extent retarded the development of specific mediation services, because it has provided an alternative to litigation that works well within certain limits so that the need for mediation has not been readily apparent. It is hoped that resistance among potential users of mediation may lessen as a result of a new initiative by the Family Court of Australia.
Divorce and conciliation in Sweden and Scotland
Authors: Garwood Fiona
Published: July 2007

Sweden is often envied for its advanced social welfare system and high standard of living. However, it also has a high divorce rate, almost double the Scottish figures. In an attempt to illuminate the differences and similarities between Scotland and Sweden, I recently carried out a comparative study of divorce and conciliation services. I found a number of contrasts in their respective divorce laws and legal systems and some interesting differences in the provision of conciliation.
Family mediation in Britain: A comparison of service types
Authors: McCarthy Peter , Simpson Bob , Corlyon Judy , Walker Janet
Published: July 2007

A major evaluation of mediation services in Britain enables comparison of the different types of mediation currently in operation. A number of criteria, such as agreement rates, consumer satisfaction, and psychological well‐being, are used to assess the effectiveness of each service. The conclusions drawn from these comparisons are discussed in relation to the proposals for a national mediation service for England and Wales.
The value of children in mediation: A cross‐cultural perspective
Authors: Saposnek Donald T.
Published: July 2007

Whether to include children in the family mediation process is a junction of many variables. This article explores the issue in terms of the rationale for and the methods and implications of including children in mediation. Taking a cross‐cultural perspective, the author investigates how cultural beliefs and attitudes about children serve as important substrata for how one regards the inclusion of children in the mediation process.
Theorizing power in divorce negotiations: Implications for practice
Authors: Ellis Desmond , Wight Laurie
Published: July 2007

Research findings, experiences of practicing mediators, and theoretical insights of others were used to formulate a theory of interpersonal power in divorce mediation that includes both resources (potential power) and their use (actual power). This theory identifies linkages between resources, use of resources, and convergences on outcomes (agreements). From this theory, we and our colleagues have derived a number of skills and interventions for practicing mediators interested in muting the impact on agreements of resource differentials and differing capacities to use these resources effectively. Facilitating transitions from victim‐warriors to positional bargainers to principled negotiators to joint planners and motivating partners to keep negotiating are the ends toward which these skills and interventions can be applied. The theory of power is applicable to both separating partners and mediators. The article closes with a caveat.
Deconstructing family mediation practice via the simulated client technique: The case of unresolved marital attachment
Authors: Kruk Edward
Published: July 2007

Data about the nature of the interventions of family mediators and the degree to which they incorporate particular items of divorce law and current divorce‐related research into their practice are largely lacking. This article presents the results of a study examining the working methods of twenty Canadian family mediators using a “simulated client” data‐gathering technique in which mediators were briefed to interview the researchers as a divorcing couple who had come to them for an initial mediation session. The study yielded rich data that are systematic and comparable in relation to a range of core issues in the mediation field, including spouse abuse, power imbalance, dealing with the termination of the marital relationship, structured versus therapeutic approaches, and neutralist versus interventionist styles; mediators' handling of the problem of unresolved marital attachment is examined here.
Adaptations to the civil mediation model: Suggestions from research into the approaches to conflict resolution used in the Twin Cities' Cambodian community
Authors: Welsh Nancy A. , Lewis Debra
Published: July 2007

A nonprofit organization in Minnesota researched approaches to conflict used by persons within the African American, Hmong, and Cambodian communities in the Twin Cities. This article focuses on the Cambodian community. The research suggests that although discussion is used most often to resolve conflicts, withdrawal is also a frequent and culturally accepted response to conflict. In addition, the research suggests that Cambodians prefer third parties (including mediators) who are people with somewhat more stature in the community than the disputants themselves. Finally, the data suggest that Cambodians prefer that third parties intervene in an evaluative way rather than a facilitative way. The article explores how these results may argue for modifications in the selection of mediators and the mediation process itself.
The name of the game is movement: Concession seeking in judicial mediation of large money damage cases
Authors: Burns Stacy
Published: July 2007

There has been little examination of the work of judges as mediators. This article addresses a much‐neglected but distinctive and increasingly prevalent kind of mediation work: mediation of large money damage cases by acting and former judges. The study finds that public and private judge‐mediators routinely encounter certain obstacles to settlement and develop specific skills for addressing them. The research also identifies several key differences between the problems, tasks, and alternatives of judicial mediation in the public courts versus in private cases.
Family peacemakers: An extended family mediation and conflict resolution skills‐training program for youth offenders during probation
Authors: Beck Robert J. , Turk A. Marco
Published: July 2007

Family Peacemakers is a proposed design for an extended mediation program for youth offenders during probation. Derived from ecological developmental theory, family and school behavioral research, transformative mediation, and a cognitive perspective change model, the program objectives include both the offenders' success in meeting the conditions of their probation and lifestyle changes. A variety of mediation programs is employed, including family mediation, individual mediator training for mothers and offenders, and video feedback training. The acquisition of conflict resolution skills is measured by participants' performance in mediation programs. It is predicted that to the extent that youth offenders and family members adequately perform specific probation requirements in home and school and to the extent that they acquire competency in conflict resolution skills and share conflict resolution procedures, they will achieve success in probation, make advances in their core relationships, experience lifestyle change, and prevent recidivism.
The language of cooperation: Negotiation frames
Authors: Hale Katherine
Published: July 2007

This discussion draws from the dramatistic perspective of Kenneth Burke to identify frames of interaction that parties bring to and negotiate in situations of conflict. The tragic frame and other problematic frames of relating are identified as they appear in mediation and negotiation. The discussion advocates the comic or hopeful frame as appropriate for working with complex conflicts and considers means of creating and sustaining the hopeful frame in conflict environments.
Developmental considerations: Encouraging perspective taking in student mediators
Authors: Lane‐Garon Pamela S.
Published: July 2007

At Chavez Community School in Phoenix, disposilional empathy and cognitive perspective taking of elementary school students were examined. The study compared social‐cognition of peer mediators with nonmediators over the course of an academic year. Pre‐to‐post increases in cognitive and affective perspective taking, as measured by the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, indicate that social cognition may be enhanced by mediation training and practice. Effects for disputants were also observed.
The concept of facework: Its functions in the Hawaii model of mediation
Authors: Ogawa Naomi
Published: July 2007

Face facilitates cross‐cultural conflict resolution in Hawaii. A concept of east Asian origin, face is a subtle style of interpersonal encounter calculated to avoid personal embarrassment, or loss of poise, and to maintain an impression of self‐respect for others (Goffman, 1959). The majority of people living in Hawaii are from Asian cultures, such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Not surprisingly, the face work concept is an important component in communication in Hawaii. The study begins by exploring facework historically, philosophically, and linguistically. Other factors are also discussed. In addition, I focus on the basic Hawaii model of mediation, examining the consequences of facework in the mediation process in the community. The perspective of cross‐cultural relevance and the flexibility of the method for conflict resolution are also discussed.
The importance of party buy‐in in designing organizational conflict management systems
Authors: Carter Stephanie
Published: July 2007

Organizations looking for new and more effective ways of handling conflict are beginning to consider the development of alternative dispute resolution and conflict management systems. This article focuses on the importance of buy‐in and participation by parties and stakeholders in designing such systems. It examines the value of party buy‐in and involvement and their effect on the successful application and use of the dispute resolution system. It concludes that the design of participative dispute resolution systems maximizes the opportunity for effective conflict management and the successful creation, implementation, and management of organizational change.
Community mediation and the court system: The ties that bind
Authors: Hedeen Timothy , Coy Patrick G.
Published: July 2007

This article assesses the relationship between community mediation and the justice system. It begins by tracing the evolution of the community dispute resolution movement and its reliance on the court system for case referrals and funding. The concerns surrounding this reliance are twofold: the redefinition of the community mediation movement and the compromises made in the freedom and integrity of the mediation process.
Diversity in community mediation: A conversation with Janice Tudy‐Jackson and Roberto Chené
Authors: Smith Melinda
Published: July 2007

This is a conversation between Roberto Chené of New Mexico, cochair of the National Conference on Peacemaking and Conflict Resolution, and Janice Tudy‐Jackson, former director of victim services in New York City. It was recorded on October 26, 1998. They were asked to respond to the following question that faces community mediation centers throughout the country: “One of the ideals of community mediation is that its staff and volunteers reflect the community that they serve. Unfortunately, this is only an ideal. Many centers fall far short of this goal. What are your thoughts about this, and what can mediation centers do to try to achieve these ideals?”.
How transformative is volunteer mediation? A qualitative study of the claims of volunteer mediators in a community justice program
Authors: Martin Marc
Published: July 2007

The framework of transformative (non‐problem solving and non‐outcome oriented) mediation that Bush and Folger developed and put forth has generated much discussion in the field of mediation over the past several years. However, despite the apparent importance and urgency of the problems that the transformative model proposes to address, little if any discussion involves its relation to the practice of volunteer mediators. In order to ascertain whether such a relation exists, it would be necessary to inquire as to whether elements of the transformative approach to mediation exist in the volunteer dispute resolution setting and, if so, to what degree. This qualitative study of twenty‐four volunteer mediators of varying levels of experience examined their claims regarding their use of the transformative approach in their practice. It found, according to Bush and Folger, that their rhetoric is, at base, problem solving in, nature. That is, no mediator in this study was found to be exclusively transformative according to the Bush and Folger framework. However, respondents with the most experience (based on the number of mediations and length of time mediating) seemed to express more commitment to a transformative approach in their practice than those with less experience.
Symbol in mediation
Authors: Fisher Jennifer
Published: July 2007

Using symbol is a vital part of the mediation process at every stage. Mediators should be conscious of the wide range of tools available in their art. The point is not to add more gimmicks in a field already struggling for full legitimacy in the mainstream, but to heal the Manichaean splits in our professionalized world between, for example, priest and doctor, theater and therapy, and conflict resolution and community.
Refining and testing joint fact‐finding for environmental dispute resolution: Ten years of success
Authors: McCreary Scott T , Gamman John K. , Brooks Bennett
Published: July 2007

For the past decade, we at CONCUR have been mediating complex environmental disputes and using the technique of joint fact‐finding as a cornerstone of our model of practice. In this article, we present and reflect on this body of experience, with the goal of better informing both our colleagues in the field and other potential users of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) about the elements and preconditions for successful use of joint fact‐finding. We also aim to contribute actively to current initiatives on best practices.
