A method of successive approximation applied to an elastic-plastic deformation theory
Authors: Wellner K V , Tuba I S
Published: July 2007

Elastic-plastic stress and strain concentration factors are derived for a circular hole in an infinite medium under uniform anti-plane shear conditions. The suggested method of solution could be applied also to other problems of interest.
Shouldered plates and shats in tension and torsion
Authors: Fessler H , Rogers C C , Stanley P
Published: July 2007

Room-temperature and frozen-stress photoelastic tests have been carried out to determine the magnitude, position, and extent of the stress concentrations which occur in the blending radii at the junctions of sections of different widths in symmetrical plates subjected to direct loads.

An empirical equation has been derived from the flat-plate tests which is also applicable to shafts in tension.

Other published data are consisent with the predictions of the empirical equations.

Stress concentration factors for shafts in torsion are lower than in tension.
A photoelastic investigation of contact stresses in equal spheres rolling together with spin
Authors: Lee A J C , Ollerton E
Published: July 2007

Photoelastic tests have been performed to investigate the effect of spin on the contact stresses between rolling bodies. All the tests employed equal spheres, resulting in nominally flat, circular contact areas. The shear-stress distributions on such contact areas have been experimentally determined by the ‘frozen stress’ technique. One set of tests examined the case where no resultant surface force was transmitted between the spheres while they were rolling with spin. Another set of tests allowed a resultant force perpendicular to the rolling direction to be transmitted. The test results are compared with several theories.
Stress analysis in viscoelastic bodies using finite elements and a correspondence rule with elasticity
Authors: Webber J P H
Published: July 2007

It is shown how the finite-element displacement method of analysis using an elastic analogy may be applied to problems in plane stress where the material is viscoelastic. The method allows material non-homogeneity to be taken into account, as it might need to be in some thermo-viscoelastic problems.

Some numerical results are given, based on the Maxwell body, and these are supported by a short-time creep experiment on a sheet of perspex. The distribution of stress is found to change slightly during this period of time.
Stresses in cylindrical pressure vessels with end closures previously shaped by free explosive forming
Authors: Fessler H , Thorpe T E
Published: July 2007

The stress analysis of photoelastic models of pressure vessels with drumheads shaped by free explosive forming showed that discontinuities of profile of up to 34° at the drum-knuckle junction are permissible because the resulting peak knuckle stresses are lower than in vessels with equivalent torispherical drumhead.

Free explosive forming, by forcing flat plates through ring dies, produces repeatable, approximately torispherical shapes. For annealed mild steel the geometric and explosion parameters have been related to permit prediction of dish shapes. It was found that no size effect existed.
Further experiments in stress redistribution caused by creep
Authors: Bullard J B , Clifton T E
Published: July 2007

This paper extends the work on a wrought Nimonic alloy at constant stress and temperature reported in (1) to variable conditions of total load and temperature, and to a casting alloy for high-temperature service, Nimocast PK.24. The observed load redistributions are compared with calculations based on data obtained from constant-stress creep tests. Fully redistributed (steady-state) stresses have been estimated directly from constant-stress creep data and it has been shown that for these materials this method provides a good approximation to the observed fully redistributed stresses.
Application of the moiré technique to fracture-toughness tests on zirconium alloys
Authors: Luxmoore A , Wyatt P J
Published: July 2007

This paper describes some initial experiments carried out on zirconium notched bend specimens, to determine the feasibility of using the moiré technique to measure crack opening displacements smaller than 0·001 in and areas of plastic flow immediately beneath the notch.
Torispherical drumheads: A limit-pressure and shakedown investigation
Authors: Findlay G E , Moffat D G , Stanley P
Published: July 2007

Following elastic tests, which have been described in detail elsewhere, further work has been carried out in the plastic range on four full-size mild-steel torispherical drumheads subjected to internal pressure. The work is presented here in two parts. Part 1 contains a review of some previous theoretical numerical and experimental work related to the present study, an account of the test installation and procedure, and a presentation of the complete test results. Data on the initiation and propagation of yield are also included.

In Part 2 the variations in maximum head strain and head height with increasing pressure are compared with computer predictions from an existing C.E.G.B. programme; there are some inconsistencies between the numerical and experimental data and the relevant factors are considered in detail. The observed limit pressures and maximum shakedown pressures are compared with independent alternative values from several different sources and the implications of the experimental results in relation to design are discussed.
A model of the continuous elastoplastic transition in metals
Authors: Jones W J D , Agarwal A K
Published: July 2007

Part 1: The heterogeneous character of a real metal is represented by a model in which the metal is considered to consist of a large number of elements with a variation of individual stress-strain responses. The variation of Poisson's ratio which occurs as a function of strain is used to measure the progress of yielding through the material and hence to calculate the variation in elemental yield strains. By use of data obtained from the completely elastic and fully plastic parts of the stress-strain curve and the yield strain distribution, the elastoplastic transition behaviour can be calculated. Comparisons are presented between computed and experimental stress-strain curves for aluminium, copper, magnesium, nickel, and titanium alloy to demonstrate the validity of the proposed model.

Part 2: Sufficient cyclic stressing can change the subsequent stress-strain curve of a steel which normally has a yield point into one with a continuous elastoplastic transition. A model of the elastoplastic transition in metals, developed by the authors in Part 1 to represent the stress-strain behaviour of metals with a continuous elastoplastic transition, is then proposed for representing the stress-strain behaviour of steels in which the yield point has been removed, by stress cycling. Results are presented to show good agreement between the model and the observed stress-strain behaviour of four steels, one of which had no yield point and the other three had their yield points removed by cyclic stressing.

Immigration and street entrepreneurship in Alicante, Spain
Authors: L'Hote Leland , Gasta Chad
Published: July 2007

Within the theoretical framework of Entrepreneurship Studies, this article investigates the thriving immigrant-based street market system in Alicante, Spain. Entrepreneurship research clearly has illustrated that the success of legitimate entrepreneurial endeavours is determined by
a complex variety of factors that involve supply and demand, risk vs. return and opportunity vs. need, among others. Based upon field observations, interviews and a detailed survey conducted during the summers of 2005 and 2006, our investigation of the small business street vendor system in
Alicante illustrates that these entrepreneurial factors also define and affect the illegal enterprises established by a largely undocumented immigrant population. Despite the apparent simplicity of the street vendor network, both the wholesale and retail systems in Alicante are highly complex
and structured, and they work to minimise risk to street entrepreneurs while providing greater economic returns to a large and highly diverse population.
The Work-Life Balance II Informe de investigacin Conciliacin entre la vida personal, familiar y laboral en Espaa

This report presents a summary of the results of a sociological study funded by the EU's Directorate-General for Research. The study, called Conciliacin y empleabilidad, investigated the work-life balance the goal of reconciling the demands of employment, family, and personal
life in the case of Spain. The aim was to identify strategies that facilitate sustainable balance between the three. The results covered personal and family strategies that make such a reconciliation easier and contribute towards employability; strategies arising out of the context of the
workplace and labour organization; and strategies observed in particular experiences and case studies. It concludes that the complexity and diversity of social situations poses many challenges to the desired work-life balance and requires ambitious and imaginative efforts by all the actors
involved if it is to be achieved.

The Fiji Indian Chutney Generation: The Cultural spread between Fiji and Australia
Authors: Chand Asha
Published: July 2007

Chutney, an Indian side dish made with zest, brings flavour to bland Indian dishes such as rice and dhal, while tickling delight to the senses. The term, used as a metaphor in Chutney Generations, the world's first exhibition tracing the complex Fiji Indian identity in a visible
expression, staged at the Liverpool Museum in Sydney, Australia, is applicable to Fiji Indian migrants across the globe that savours the product and lives the word. In the processes of migration and globalisation identities fuse, cultures, dreams, ideals, ideologies, histories and the present
merge and crush, in a way similar to the process of making chutney, where ingredients are blended to the point where there is no single identity; thus a new generation of humankind is created. This paper presents chutney as a paste of civilisation and a new concept to identity creation where
strongly felt inclinations to retain cultures, histories and identities are neutralized in the fusion of ideas, ideals and dreams. It also engages in the chutnification of the Australian-Fiji-Indian community across three physical spaces India, Fiji and Australia, recording their past, present
and aspirations of their future, through their lifestyles and treasured collections. Migration and globalisation have opened new possibilities for chutney, beyond the familiar ingredients and tastes. The community is complex and contradictory, being Indian, Fijian, Australian and global citizens,
all at the same time.
Goyim on the roof: embodying authenticity in Leveaux's Fiddler on the Roof
Authors: Hillman Jessica
Published: July 2007

In February of 2004, critic Thane Rosenbaum of theLA Timesaccused David Leveaux's Broadway revival ofFiddler on the Roofof lacking Jewish soul. He opined, The sensation is as if you're sampling something that tastes great and looks Jewish but isn't entirely Kosher (Rosenbaum 2004: E1). Rosenbaum accusations, including his implicit condemnation of the lack of Jews in the musical's cast, invoked an intense critical debate. The resulting furore must be examined in view of a larger issue: authenticity and the musical stage. American musical theatre, as a popular and populist art form, reflects and absorbs the country's highly sensitized identity politics, making issues of ownership and authenticity central. Leveaux'sFiddler on the Rooffocuses cultural anxiety on these pivotal concerns. Why does meddling withFiddlerengender such angry intensity? In a world where cross-racial casting has become not only accepted, but encouraged, why the uproar over crossreligious casting, which, in theory, involves invisible difference? Can Jewish difference indeed be described as invisible? This paper will examine the broader implications of these questions.
Frank Zappa and musical theatre: ugly ugly o'phan Annie and really deep, intense, thought-provoking Broadway symbolism
Authors: Carr Paul , Hand Richard J
Published: July 2007

The performances of Frank Zappa were renowned for their theatricality and Zappa himself claimed that Nobody has combined music and theatrics in the way I have. Aside from Zappa's legendary and theatrical stage performances, some of his specific compositions have a consciously dramatic
narrative that can be fruitfully analysed as remarkable and thoroughly provocative examples of musical theatre. In particular, two works stand out: Joe's Garage Acts I, II and III (1979) a bleak yet humorous satire set in a science fiction dystopia, and Thing-Fish (1984), a narrative-driven
drama that explicitly explores yet subverts the Broadway musical form in its uncompromising investigation of AIDS and its social and political impact. In addition, both works demonstrate a disruptive and eviscerating satirical use of sexuality and sex.
Don't dream it, be it: exploring signification, empathy and mimesis in relation to The Rocky Horror Show
Authors: Taylor Millie
Published: July 2007

The Rocky Horror Showis an extreme example of audience interaction and mimicry. However, by analysing its performance, in which physical responses can be easily discerned, this article explores some of the ways musicals signify and some of the empathetic and mimetic effects of musical theatre on audiences. AlthoughThe Rocky Horror Showis not necessarily representative of all musicals, it has elements in common with many other musicals, and so the majority of the arguments made here can be applied more widely. The proposition here is that the complexity of musical theatre performance requires engagement with both objective and subjective positions in order to begin to understand its affects and its means of communication.
A Cultural Models Approach to Service Recovery
Authors: Ringberg Torsten , Odekerken-Schröder Gaby , Christensen Glenn L.
Published: July 2007

Service recovery research remains conflicted in its understanding of consumers' recovery expectations and of why similar goods or service failures may lead to different recovery expectations. The authors argue that this conflict results from the assumption that consumer recovery expectations are monolithic and largely homogeneous, driven mainly by behavioral, relational, or contextual stimuli. Instead, recovery scenarios involving high-involvement (i.e., self-relevant) goods and service failures may activate closely held, identity-related cultural models that, though ultimately applied to regain balance (a foundational schema), differ according to their sociocultural heritage and create a range of unique consumer recovery preferences. The authors empirically identify three embodied cultural models—relational, oppositional, and utilitarian—that consumers apply to goods or service failures. Furthermore, the authors discuss implications for service recovery research and services marketing practice and introduce adaptive service recovery diagnostics that enable providers to identify and respond to consumers' varying recovery preferences.
Customer Loyalty to Whom? Managing the Benefits and Risks of Salesperson-Owned Loyalty
Authors: Palmatier Robert W. , Scheer Lisa K. , Steenkamp Jan-Benedict E.M.
Published: July 2007

In a study of 362 buyer–salesperson dyads using triadic data (from buyer, salesperson, and sales manager), the authors examine both a customer's overall loyalty to the selling firm and the customer's loyalty vested specifically in his or her salesperson. They find that only salesperson-owned loyalty, a newly identified construct, directly affects the more tangible seller financial outcomes of sales growth and selling effectiveness, whereas both salesperson-owned loyalty and loyalty to the selling firm increase the customer's willingness to pay a price premium. A longitudinal study verifies that the positive effect of salesperson-owned loyalty on sales growth persists over time. However, because salesperson-owned loyalty simultaneously increases the seller's risk of losing business if the salesperson defects to a competitor, managers need to manage effectively the benefit–risk trade-off. Increasing relationship-enhancing activities and value received by the customer builds both salesperson-owned loyalty and loyalty to the selling firm. The loyalty-building impact of relationship-enhancing activities is moderated by selling-firm consistency and by the selling firm's and salesperson's loyalty-capturing strategies.
Choice Goal Attainment and Decision and Consumption Satisfaction
Authors: Heitmann Mark , Lehmann Donald R. , Herrmann Andreas

Several individual, social-setting, and choice-set factors have been shown to be related to satisfaction. This article argues that these factors operate through a set of choice goals. Using panel data on purchasers of consumer electronics, the authors examine how five goals (justifiability, confidence, anticipated regret, evaluation costs, and final negative affect) drive decision and consumption satisfaction, which in turn determine loyalty, product recommendations, and the amount and valence of word of mouth.
“Says Who?!” how the Source of Price Information and Affect Influence Perceived Price (Un)fairness
Authors: Campbell Margaret C.
Published: July 2007

Three experiments show that the source of price change information—whether human or nonhuman—moderates the effect of price change on perceptions of price fairness. Both inferences of the marketer's motive and stimulus-induced affect mediate the effects of the source and price change. Opportunity and motivation to process also affect the relative influence of inferred motive and affect. This research demonstrates antecedent roles of both price source and affect.
Understanding Impulsive Eaters' Choice Behaviors: The Motivational Influences of Regulatory Focus
Authors: Sengupta Jaideep , Zhou Rongrong
Published: July 2007

This research attempts to understand the mechanism underlying the choice behavior of impulsive eaters. The authors propose a process according to which impulsive eaters (versus nonimpulsive eaters) spontaneously develop a promotion focus on exposure to hedonically tempting food, such as chocolate cake; their subsequent decision to consume the food is guided by this promotion orientation. Furthermore, the evoked promotion focus also influences subsequent choices in completely unrelated domains. A set of six experiments provides support for this mechanism and also examines its implications with regard to different ways of correcting impulsive eating behavior.
Just Give Me Another Chance: The Strategies for Brand Recovery from a Bad First Impression
Authors: Muthukrishnan A.V. , Chattopadhyay Amitava
Published: July 2007

Firms sometimes create negative initial impressions on potential customers and then face the problem of determining how to change these initial impressions. The marketing literature offers little guidance on how to do this, and the psychology literature suggests that negative initial impressions are much more resistant to change than positive initial impressions. The authors contrast the efficacy of comparative and noncomparative new information about a target brand when the initial impression of the brand is positive or negative. A body of extant research shows that positive initial impressions change more in the face of comparative information than when the same information is noncomparative and does not mention a competitor. The authors replicate this effect for positive initial impressions but deduce and show that the opposite is true for negative initial impressions. Thus, the authors show that when evaluations are memory based rather than stimulus based and when the initial evaluation is negative, new information that is noncomparative leads to a greater change in consumer attitudes. The authors discuss the implications of this finding for firms that are attempting to recover from negative initial impressions.
Continuing Challenges to Scholarly Research in Marketing
Authors: Wilkie William L.
Published: July 2007

This response to Professor Gaski's commentary first clarifies the editorial background for the development of the set of Journal of Public Policy & Marketing essays titled “The Sages Speak,” which appeared in the Spring 2005 issue. It then goes on to discuss three related issues: (1) the unrest about marketing scholarship that is currently gripping the academy, (2) the need for inclusion of an aggregate perspective in the official American Marketing Association definition of the field of marketing, and (3) the risks of an overreliance on a philosophy of “consequentialism” for the field.
Raising Marketing's Aspirations
Authors: Sheth Jagdish N. , Sisodia Rajendra S.
Published: July 2007

Marketing as a function and a profession suffers from the tyranny of exceedingly low expectations. Rather than accept that most customers view most marketing actions in a negative light and that the response rates to marketing initiatives must remain extremely low because of competitive pressures, marketing must raise its aspirations. It must articulate and enforce high standards for what is deemed to be acceptable marketing practice, using mechanisms analogous to GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) in accounting.
Costs and Benefits of the Federal Trade Commission's Do-Not-Call Regulations: A Second Look and Reply to Anderson
Authors: Beard T. Randolph , Abernethy Avery M.
Published: July 2007

Federal Trade Commission economist Keith Anderson agrees with the two central points of Beard and Abernethy's 2005 article “Consumer Prices and the Federal Trade Commission's ‘Do-Not-Call’ Program.” Do-not-call regulations make it more costly for some marketers to provide consumers with useful product information. Consumer telecommunications service prices are also likely to be higher than they would be without the regulations. However, the authors of this commentary disagree with the household cost estimate of telecommunications services that Anderson suggests and with his argument that only telecommunications costs should be considered when trying to determine whether do-not-call regulations have increased overall consumer welfare. The authors hope that the Federal Trade Commission will explicitly consider the consumer and business costs of advertising restrictions when considering future advertising regulation.
Weathering the Storm: A Social Marketing Perspective on Disaster Preparedness and Response with Lessons from Hurricane Katrina
Authors: Guion Deirdre T. , Scammon Debra L. , Borders Aberdeen Leila
Published: July 2007

The devastation of New Orleans as a result of Hurricane Katrina presents an opportunity and an obligation to examine the human and social factors that influenced the nation's response to this disaster. Lessons from Katrina suggest that a social marketing approach to disaster management could increase the likelihood of positive outcomes for individuals and communities when a disaster strikes. The authors propose an integrated approach to effective risk communications that encourages self-protective behaviors.
After all is Lost: Meeting the Material Needs of Adolescent Disaster Survivors
Authors: Klein Jill G. , Huang Laura
Published: July 2007

This research with teenage tsunami survivors finds that adolescents received little support from relief organizations in their desire to replace lost possessions. The authors suggest ways that marketers can help relief organizations identify the material needs of adolescent survivors, as well as the needs of other underserved or vulnerable segments.

Authors: Podnar Klement , Molj Bojan , Golob Urša
Published: July 2007

The authors review how part of the Slovenian pharmaceutical market was influenced by reference pricing. On the basis of their descriptive analysis, they argue that the reference-pricing system caused a dramatic decrease of the market shares of originators on the one hand and an increase in the share of generic drugs on the other hand.
Improvement of ACTH response to insulin tolerance test in female patients with rheumatoid arthritis due to tumor necrosis factor inhibition
Authors: Daza Leonel , Martin-Jimenez Raul , De la Torre Pío X , Hernández Enrique , Murillo Blanca
Published: July 2007

Objective: The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis evaluation has been conflicting in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Our aim was to evaluate the HPA axis response to the insulin tolerance test (ITT) in premenopausal female patients with RA before and after anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy (anti-TNF therapy).

Design: A comparative cross-sectional analysis.

Subjects and methods: Ten females with RA and without previous anti-TNF therapy were included. Five healthy females were included as controls. An ITT was performed before first dose of anti-TNF therapy and then after week 12. Anti-TNF therapy was applied every 14 days for 12 weeks. Cortisol and ACTH levels were measured at 0, 30, 45, and 65 min. Prolactin was measured at 0, 30, 45, 90, 120, and 150 min.

Results: The ACTH basal plasma levels at weeks 0 and 12 did not show statistical differences, at 1.26 (0.41–2.12) vs 1.54 (0.60–2.49) respectively (P = 0.68). The controls demonstrated a higher ACTH response than in the RA patients at week 0 before the anti-TNF therapy (349.12 area under curve (AUC)), (P = 0.004) and a similar ACTH response to ITT to those of RA patients at week 12 after the use of the anti-TNF therapy (1087.42 AUC). Serum cortisol levels did not show significant changes when the ITT was performed before and after the anti-TNF therapy.

Conclusions: Our findings support a role for the TNF on the pituitary gland in premenopausal female patients with RA. An adequate control of RA in early stages of the disease diminishing TNF levels improves ACTH response to stress situations.
Trends in Hospitalizations of HIV-Infected Children and Adolescents in the United States: Analysis of Data From the 1994–2003 Nationwide Inpatient Sample
Authors: Kourtis Athena P. , Bansil Pooja , Posner Samuel F. , Johnson Christopher , Jamieson Denise J.
Published: July 2007

OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to describe trends in hospital use by HIV-infected children and adolescents in the United States in the 10 years from 1994 (before highly active antiretroviral therapy) to 2003 (widespread use of highly active antiretroviral therapy).

METHODS. Data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database were used. The most frequent diagnoses were evaluated by year, and trends in hospitalizations for selected diagnoses and procedures were examined by multivariate logistic regression.

RESULTS. In 2003, there were an estimated 3419 hospitalizations of HIV-infected children who were 18 years or younger, compared with 11785 such hospitalizations in 1994 (a 71% decrease). This decrease was more marked among infants and children who were younger than 5 years (94% for boys and 92% for girls) than among adolescents (decrease of 47% for boys and increase of 23% for girls 15–18 years of age). The inpatient fatality rate among HIV-infected children decreased from 5.0% in 1994 to 1.8% in 2003. The number of hospitalizations among HIV-infected children in the highly active antiretroviral therapy era decreased significantly compared with before highly active antiretroviral therapy (1994–1996) for Pneumocystis jiroveci, bacterial infection, or sepsis; fungal infection; encephalopathy; failure to thrive; and lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia. No significant change in the number of hospitalizations for Pneumococcus or cytomegalovirus was observed.

CONCLUSIONS. Dramatic decreases in the number of hospitalizations among HIV-infected children occurred since the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy in the United States. However, this trend is not seen in hospitalizations of adolescents, particularly girls. Hospitalizations for several HIV-related conditions are less frequent in the highly active antiretroviral therapy era, but for certain other conditions, the hospitalization burden remains high.
Prosthetic Management of Pharyngeal Flap–Related Snoring
Authors: Williams William N. , Turner Glenn T. , Lewis Kelley , Pegoraro-Krook Maria Inês , Dutka-Souza Jeniffer C. R.
Published: July 2007

Objective:

The obturating pharyngeal flap used in correcting velopharyngeal insufficiency has been implicated in creating difficulty in nasal breathing for some patients and/or in causing hyponasal speech, obstructive sleep apnea, and snoring. This is a case report of an individually designed removable prosthesis that positions an acrylic tube through each port lateral to the pharyngeal flap, with the goal of preventing the collapse of the ports during sleep and the consequent snoring.

Design:

The acrylic tubes maintain an opening through both lateral ports preventing the soft tissues of the lateral walls from vibrating against the pharyngeal flap (causing the snoring sound) and allowing nasal breathing.

Results:

The acrylic tubes effectively eliminated the patient's problem of snoring.

Conclusions:

This case study demonstrates that snoring associated with a pharyngeal flap can be controlled prosthetically by maintaining an opening through the two lateral ports, preventing the soft tissues of the walls of the lateral ports from vibrating against the flap.

Published: July 2007

Objective:

To evaluate the dental arch relationships of Japanese children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and to examine the 5-year-olds’ index for its validity.

Design:

Retrospective study and comparison with previous reports.

Subjects:

One hundred thirty-six children with complete UCLP who received primary cheiloplasty and palatoplasty in the Kyushu University Hospital from 1966 to 1999.

Materials:

Dental models taken from children 53 to 67 months of age and their cephalograms.

Methods:

Study models were assessed using five scores; 1 = excellent, 2 = good, 3 = fair, 4 = poor, and 5 = very poor, in accordance with the 5-year-olds’ index and also evaluated using Huddart and Bodenham's numerical classification. Dental arch widths, three-dimensional maxillary dental arch form, and lateral cephalograms were traced and measured. The outcome by 5-year-olds’ index was compared with Huddart and Bodenham's numerical classification, dental arch dimensions, and cephalometric measurements.

Results:

Occlusal outcome evaluated by the 5-year-olds’ index was rated 2.95, which was classified as fair. This index rating showed a significant relationship with numerical classification and dental arch length, but not with dental arch width. The index showed a relationship with mandibular form and position, but not with maxillary position.

Conclusion:

The occlusal outcome of the cases with UCLP was fair as evaluated using the 5-year-olds’ index. The index evaluates the anteroposterior relationship of maxillary/mandibular dental arches but does not evaluate the collapse of maxillary segments.
Priorities for Future Public Health Research in Orofacial Clefts
Authors: Yazdy Mahsa M. , Honein Margaret A. , Rasmussen Sonja A. , Frias Jaime L.
Published: July 2007

The National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a workshop in January 2006, entitled “Prioritizing a Research Agenda for Orofacial Clefts.” The goals of the meeting were to review existing research on orofacial clefts (OFCs), identify gaps in knowledge that need additional public health research, and develop a prioritized research agenda that can help guide future public health research. Experts in the field of epidemiology, public health, genetics, psychology, speech pathology, dentistry, and health economics participated to create the research agenda. Research gaps identified by the participants for additional public health research included: the roles of maternal nutrition, obesity, and diabetes in the etiology of OFCs; psychosocial outcomes for children with OFCs; the quality of life for families and children with OFCs; and the health care costs of OFCs. To create the research agenda, the participants prioritized the research gaps by public health importance, feasibility, and outcomes of interest. This report summarizes the workshop.
Transport assessment studies - a review of the history of the London Assessment Studies and subsequent developments
Authors: Gardner K. E.
Published: July 2007

This Paper reviews the history of the London Assessment Studies and contrasts the resulting policy packages with that proposed in complementary work for the London Planning Advisory Committee (LPAC) against the background of an ‘ideal’ approach to transport policy formulation. In particular, it comments on the efficacy of such area-based studies in the absence of a clear strategic framework. It argues that there is a need for a strategic approach to transport in London, to include the valuable roles of public transport fares, service levels and traffic restraint mechanisms in combating congestion. Finally, the Paper draws pointers for the future of transport assessment studies, including reference to the new range of integrated transport studies being promoted by urban authorities throughout the UK.
