Objective

To learn how minority and underserved communities would set priorities for patient‐centered outcomes research (PCOR).

Data Sources

Sixteen groups (n = 183) from minority and underserved communities in two states deliberated about PCOR priorities using the simulation exercise CHoosing All Together (CHAT). Most participants were minority, one‐third reported income <$10,000, and one‐fourth reported fair/poor health.

Design

Academic–community partnerships adapted CHAT for PCOR priority setting using existing research agendas and interviews with community leaders, clinicians, and key informants.

Data Collection

Tablet‐based CHAT collected demographic information, individual priorities before and after group deliberation, and groups' priorities.

Principal Findings

Individuals and groups prioritized research on Quality of Life, Patient‐Doctor, Access, Special Needs, and (by total resources spent) Compare Approaches. Those with less than a high school education were less likely to prioritize New Approaches, Patient‐Doctor, Quality of Life, and Families/Caregivers. Blacks were less likely to prioritize research on Causes of Disease, New Approaches, and Compare Approaches than whites. Compare Approaches, Special Needs, Access, and Families/Caregivers were significantly more likely to be selected by individuals after compared to before deliberation.

Conclusions

Members of underserved communities, in informed deliberations, prioritized research on Quality of Life, Patient‐Doctor, Special Needs, Access, and Compare Approaches.

Scholars have long discussed the introduction and spread of iron metallurgy in different civilizations. The sporadic use of iron has been reported in the Eastern Mediterranean area from the late Neolithic period to the Bronze Age. Despite the rare existence of smelted iron, it is generally assumed that early iron objects were produced from meteoritic iron. Nevertheless, the methods of working the metal, its use, and diffusion are contentious issues compromised by lack of detailed analysis. Since its discovery in 1925, the meteoritic origin of the iron dagger blade from the sarcophagus of the ancient Egyptian King Tutankhamun (14th C. BCE) has been the subject of debate and previous analyses yielded controversial results. We show that the composition of the blade (Fe plus 10.8 wt% Ni and 0.58 wt% Co), accurately determined through portable x‐ray fluorescence spectrometry, strongly supports its meteoritic origin. In agreement with recent results of metallographic analysis of ancient iron artifacts from Gerzeh, our study confirms that ancient Egyptians attributed great value to meteoritic iron for the production of precious objects. Moreover, the high manufacturing quality of Tutankhamun's dagger blade, in comparison with other simple‐shaped meteoritic iron artifacts, suggests a significant mastery of ironworking in Tutankhamun's time.
Tongan‐English language contact and kinship terminology
Authors: VÖLKEL SVENJA
Published: May 2016

‘[D]o all humans mean the same things by words that can be used successfully to point to the same thing?’ (Leavitt : 51). This study shows that the same words used in different English varieties might not have the same meaning. The typological comparison of standardised English and Tongan kinship terminology reveals that the categorisation is based on different underlying features. While standardised English focuses on the concept of ‘core family’, Tongan merges ‘same‐sex siblings’ and emphasises the concept of ‘extended family’. The emerging contact phenomenon in Tongan English is the use of English terminology according to Tongan categorisation, that is, a case of semantic transfer.
Efficient Memory-Mapped I/O on Fast Storage Device
Authors: Song Nae Young , Son Yongseok , Han Hyuck , Yeom Heon Young
Published: May 2016

In modern operating systems, memory-mapped I/O (
mmio
) is an important access method that maps a file or file-like resource to a region of memory. The mapping allows applications to access data from files through memory semantics (i.e., load/store) and it provides ease of programming. The number of applications that use
mmio
are increasing because memory semantics can provide better performance than file semantics (i.e., read/write). As more data are located in the main memory, the performance of applications can be enhanced owing to the effect of a large cache. When
mmio
is used, hot data tend to reside in the main memory and cold data are located in storage devices such as HDD and SSD; data placement in the memory hierarchy depends on the virtual memory subsystem of the operating system. Generally, the performance of storage devices has a direct impact on the performance of
mmio
. It is widely expected that better storage devices will lead to better performance. However, the expectation is limited when fast storage devices are used since the virtual memory subsystem does not reflect the performance feature of those devices.

In this article, we examine the Linux virtual memory subsystem and
mmio
path to determine the influence of fast storage on the existing Linux kernel. Throughout our investigation, we find that the overhead of the Linux virtual memory subsystem, negligible on the HDD, prevents applications from using the full performance of fast storage devices. To reduce the overheads and fully exploit the fast storage devices, we present several optimization techniques. We modify the Linux kernel to implement our optimization techniques and evaluate our prototyped system with low-latency storage devices. Experimental results show that our optimized
mmio
has up to 7x better performance than the original
mmio
. We also compare our system to a system that has enough memory to keep all data in the main memory. The system with insufficient memory and our
mmio
achieves 92% performance of the resource-rich system. This result implies that our virtual memory subsystem for
mmap
can effectively extend the main memory with fast storage devices.
What Users Actually Do in a Social Tagging System

Published: May 2016

Social tagging systems have established themselves as an important part in today’s Web and have attracted the interest of our research community in a variety of investigations. Henceforth, several aspects of social tagging systems have been discussed and assumptions have emerged on which our community builds their work. Yet, testing such assumptions has been difficult due to the absence of suitable usage data in the past. In this work, we thoroughly investigate and evaluate four aspects about tagging systems, covering social interaction, retrieval of posted resources, the importance of the three different types of entities, users, resources, and tags, as well as connections between these entities’ popularity in posted and in requested content. For that purpose, we examine live server log data gathered from the real-world, public social tagging system BibSonomy. Our empirical results paint a mixed picture about the four aspects. Although typical assumptions hold to a certain extent for some, other aspects need to be reflected in a very critical light. Our observations have implications for the understanding of social tagging systems and the way they are used on the Web. We make the dataset used in this work available to other researchers.
A High-Fidelity and Low-Interaction-Delay Screen Sharing System
Authors: Miao Dan , Fu Jingjing , Lu Yan , Li Shipeng , Chen Chang Wen
Published: May 2016

The pervasive computing environment and wide network bandwidth provide users more opportunities to share screen content among multiple devices. In this article, we introduce a remote display system to enable screen sharing among multiple devices with high fidelity and responsive interaction. In the developed system, the frame-level screen content is compressed and transmitted to the client side for screen sharing, and the instant control inputs are simultaneously transmitted to the server side for interaction. Even if the screen responds immediately to the control messages and updates at a high frame rate on the server side, it is difficult to update the screen content with low delay and high frame rate in the client side due to non-negligible time consumption on the whole screen frame compression, transmission, and display buffer updating. To address this critical problem, we propose a layered structure for screen coding and rendering to deliver diverse screen content to the client side with an adaptive frame rate. More specifically, the interaction content with small region screen update is compressed by a blockwise screen codec and rendered at a high frame rate to achieve smooth interaction, while the natural video screen content is compressed by standard video codec and rendered at a regular frame rate for a smooth video display. Experimental results with real applications demonstrate that the proposed system can successfully reduce transmission bandwidth cost and interaction delay during screen sharing. Especially for user interaction in small regions, the proposed system can achieve a higher frame rate than most previous counterparts.

Published: May 2016

Objective: To evaluate the hemoglobin threshold for red cell transfusion in children admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods: Retrospective chart review study. Tertiary care PICU. Critically ill pediatric patients requiring blood transfusion. No intervention. Results: We analyzed the charts of all children between 1 month and 21 years of age who received packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions during a 2-year period. The target patients were identified from our blood bank database. For analysis, the patients were subdivided into four groups: acute blood loss (postsurgically, trauma, or acute gastrointestinal bleeding from other causes), hematologic (hematologic malignancies, bone marrow suppression, hemolytic anemia, or sickle cell disease), unstable (FiO2 > 0.6 and/or on inotropic support), and stable groups. We also compared the pre-transfusion hemoglobin threshold in all unstable patients with that of all stable patients. A total of 571 transfusion episodes in 284 patients were analyzed. 28% (n = 160) of transfusions were administered to patients in the acute blood loss group, 36% (n = 206) to hematologic patients, 17% (n = 99) to unstable patients, and 18% (n = 106) to stable patients. The mean pre-transfusion hemoglobin (± SD) in all children as well as in the acute blood loss, hematologic, unstable and stable groups was 7.3 ± 1.20, 7.83 ± 1.32, 6.97 ± 1.31, 7.96 ± 1.37, 7.31 ± 1.09 g/dl, respectively. The transfusion threshold for acute blood loss and unstable groups was higher compared to hematologic and stable groups (p < 0.001; ANOVA with multiple comparisons). The mean pre-transfusion hemoglobin threshold for stable and unstable patients among all groups was 7.3 ± 1.3 and 7.9 ± 1.3 (p < 0.0001), respectively. The observed mortality rate was higher among children who received transfusion compared to other children admitted to PICU. Conclusion: The hemoglobin threshold for transfusion varied according to clinical conditions. Overall, the hemoglobin threshold for transfusion was 7.3 ± 1.20 g/dl.
Local control in the era of accountability: A case study of Wisconsin preK
Authors: Graue M. Elizabeth , Wilinski Bethany , Nocera Amato
Published: May 2016

The opposing principles of local control and increased standardization are a prominent tension in the United States’ education system. Since at least the early 1990s, this tension has taken shape around the accountability movement, defined by educational reforms that hold schools, teachers, and students accountable for performance on new standards, assessments, and curricula. While many scholars have examined the manifestations of the current accountability movement, few have looked at this phenomenon within the growing public preK movement. Drawing from interviews with state policymakers and district-level actors, this paper describes how the seemingly contradictory principles of local control and increased state and national standards (what we refer to simply as standardization) are shaping the policy and practice of Wisconsin’s preK system, known as 4K. We argue that rational models of policy making fail to explain the coexistence and blending of the strands of local control and standardization we found in our data, and suggest that Deborah Stone’s (2001) policy paradox provides a better theoretical framework for our findings.

Published: May 2016

In a crop breeding program, multiple‐location trials can be used to define target regions and mega‐environments that, in turn, will help the breeder develop stable cultivars. In addition, locations can be chosen that are efficient for distinguishing among cultivars (genotypes) and that are good representatives of the target regions. The objectives of this study were to study mega‐environments and identify test locations that were both discriminating and representative of target regions. Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai] fruit yield and yield components were evaluated in 3 yr and eight locations using replicated, multiple‐harvest trials. Data were analyzed using genotype main effect and genotype × environment interaction (GGE) biplot model as well as other methods for stability analysis. Marketable yield and percentage early fruit had a nonrepeatable crossover pattern and thus, formed a single and complex mega‐environment. Two key locations, (Kinston, NC, and Charleston, SC) were efficient representatives of two mega‐environments for fruit count. Locations at Woodland, CA, and College Station, TX, can be used interchangeably for identifying genotypes with high percentage cull fruit. There was only one mega‐environment for fruit size. Identification of mega‐environments for watermelon in the southern United States has implications for future breeding and genotype evaluation in the United States including the use of specialized genotypes for high performance in specific locations.
TIME-DEPENDENT SUPPRESSION OF OSCILLATORY POWER IN EVOLVING SOLAR MAGNETIC FIELDS
Authors: Prasad S. Krishna , Jess D. B. , Jain R. , Keys P. H.
Published: May 2016

Oscillation amplitudes are generally smaller within magnetically active regions like sunspots and plage when compared to their surroundings. Such magnetic features, when viewed in spatially resolved power maps, appear as regions of suppressed power due to reductions in the oscillation amplitudes. Employing high spatial- and temporal-resolution observations from the Dunn Solar Telescope (DST) in New Mexico, we study the power suppression in a region of evolving magnetic fields adjacent to a pore. By utilizing wavelet analysis, we study for the first time how the oscillatory properties in this region change as the magnetic field evolves with time. Image sequences taken in the blue continuum, G-band, Ca ii K, and Hα filters were used in this study. It is observed that the suppression found in the chromosphere occupies a relatively larger area, confirming previous findings. Also, the suppression is extended to structures directly connected to the magnetic region, and is found to get enhanced as the magnetic field strength increased with time. The dependence of the suppression on the magnetic field strength is greater at longer periods and higher formation heights. Furthermore, the dominant periodicity in the chromosphere was found to be anti-correlated with increases in the magnetic field strength.
ON THE BRIGHT LOOP TOP EMISSION IN POST-ERUPTION ARCADES
Authors: Sharma Rohit , Tripathi Durgesh , Isobe Hiroaki , Ghosh Avyarthana
Published: May 2016

Observations of post-eruption arcades (PEAs) in X-rays and EUV reveal strong localized brightenings at the loop top regions. The origins of these brightenings and their dynamics are not well understood to date. Here, we study the dynamics of PEAs using one-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling, focusing on understanding the formation of localized brightening. Our findings suggest that these brightenings are the result of collisions between the counter-streaming chromospheric evaporation from both the footpoints. We perform forward modeling of the emission observed in simulated results in various spectral lines observed by the Extreme-Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope on board Hinode. The forward-modeled intensities in various spectral lines are in close agreement with a flare observed on 2006 December 17 by EIS.
FINAL MASSES OF GIANT PLANETS. II. JUPITER FORMATION IN A GAS-DEPLETED DISK
Authors: Tanigawa Takayuki , Tanaka Hidekazu
Published: May 2016

First, we study the final masses of giant planets growing in protoplanetary disks through capture of disk gas, by employing empirical formulae for the gas capture rate and a shallow disk gap model, which are both based on hydrodynamic simulations. We find that, for planets less massive than 10 Jupiter masses, their growth rates are mainly controlled by the gas supply through the global disk accretion, and the gap opening does not limit the accretion. The insufficient gas supply compared with the rapid gas capture causes a depletion of the gas surface density even at the outside the gap, which can create an inner hole in the disk. Second, our findings are applied to the formation of our solar system. For the formation of Jupiter, a very low-mass gas disk of several Jupiter masses is required at the beginning of its gas capture because of the continual capture. Such a low-mass gas disk with sufficient solid material can be formed through viscous evolution from a compact disk of initial size ∼10 au. By viscous evolution with a moderate viscosity of α ∼ 10−3, most of the disk gas accretes onto the Sun and a widely spread low-mass gas disk remains when the solid core of Jupiter starts gas capture at t ∼ 107 yr. A very low-mass gas disk also provides a plausible path where type I and II planetary migrations are both suppressed significantly. In particular, the type II migration of Jupiter-size planets becomes inefficient because of the additional gas depletion due to the rapid gas capture by such planets.
L’adieu aux armes ?
Authors: Boutron Camille
Published: May 2016

Entre 1980 et 2000, le Pérou a été secoué par un violent conflit armé qui a provoqué la mort ou la disparition de plus de 69 000 personnes. Des patrouilles de défense civile se sont mises en place en collaboration avec l’armée dans les communautés paysannes les plus affectées par la violence politique. Sous le nom de comités d’autodéfense, ces organisations se sont armées afin de prendre en charge la sécurité de leur communauté. La majorité des membres étaient certes des hommes, mais la contribution des femmes fut significative. Depuis la fin du conflit, cependant, celle-ci a été effacée de la mémoire combattante des communautés. Par ailleurs, les femmes font de plus en plus souvent l’objet de violence domestique, cette évolution pouvant s’interpréter comme la transposition d’un habitus guerrier en temps de paix.
