Published: May 2016

Myosin IC is a molecular motor involved in intracellular transport, cell motility, and transcription. Its mechanical properties are regulated by calcium via calmodulin binding, and its functions in the nucleus depend on import from the cytoplasm. The import has recently been shown to be mediated by the nuclear localization signal located within the calmodulin‐binding domain. In the present paper, it is demonstrated that mutations in the calmodulin‐binding sequence shift the intracellular distribution of myosin IC to the nucleus. The redistribution is displayed by isoform B, described originally as the “nuclear myosin,” but is particularly pronounced with isoform C, the normally cytoplasmic isoform. Furthermore, experimental elevation of the intracellular calcium concentration induces a rapid import of myosin into the nucleus. The import is blocked by the importin β inhibitor importazole. These findings are consistent with a mechanism whereby calmodulin binding prevents recognition of the nuclear localization sequence by importin β, and the steric inhibition of import is released by cell signaling leading to the intracellular calcium elevation. The results establish a mechanistic connection between the calcium regulation of the motor function of myosin IC in the cytoplasm and the induction of its import into the nucleus. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Study shows that psychology courses underrepresent physical disabilities
Authors: Sutton Halley
Published: May 2016

College psychology curricula severely underrepresent physical disabilities within courses taught across the nation, according to a recent study published in Teaching of Psychology. The study, “Teaching About Disability in Psychology: An Analysis of Disability Curricula in U.S. Undergraduate Psychology Programs,” analyzed the titles and descriptions of more than 700 psychology courses from 98 undergraduate psychology programs. It found that all institutions offered courses on psychiatric disability, but only eight offered courses on physical disabilities.
On the Extended Series of Quaternary Zintl Phases Ca13REMnSb11 (RE = La–Nd, Sm, Gd–Dy)
Authors: Prakash Jai , Stoyko Stanislav , Voss Leonard , Bobev Svilen
Published: May 2016

Eight new compounds with a general formula Ca14–xRExMnSb11 (RE = La–Nd, Sm, Gd–Dy; x ≈ 1) were synthesized by the molten flux method and their structures were established via single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The overarching goal of this study was to investigate the effect of electron doping, via substitution of RE3+ at Ca2+ sites, on the crystal structure and physical properties of Ca14MnSb11, which is a candidate for thermoelectric applications. All studied phases are isostructural, and crystallize in the tetragonal body‐centered space group I41/acd (Ca14AlSb11 structure type, Pearson index tI208). The structure is made up of MnSb410– tetrahedra, randomly mixed Ca2+ and RE3+ cations, Sb3– anions, and linear Sb37– polyanions. Comprehensive structural work confirms high rare‐earth metal content with Ca2+/RE3+ randomly mixed on all four cation sites, with the caveat that the larger RE atoms (La–Nd) prefer to occupy the Ca2 site, while the smaller RE atoms (Sm, Gd, Tb, and Dy) preferably occupy the Ca1 site. Nearly phase‐pure polycrystalline samples have been synthesized using solid‐state reactions, and have been used for physical property measurements. The resistivities of the bulk Ca14–xRExMnSb11 (RE = La–Nd, Sm, Gd; x ≈ 1) samples reveal semiconducting behavior, consistent with the notion of electron doping in the parent p‐type Ca14MnSb11 material. Magnetic susceptibilities suggest complex magnetic ordering at temperatures below ca. 50 K, likely originating from coupling between two or more magnetic sub‐lattices.
Blunted Cortisol Awakening Response and Poor Self‐Perceived Health in Informal Caregivers of People with Eating Disorders
Authors: Ruiz‐Robledillo Nicolás , Romero‐Martínez Ángel , Moya‐Albiol Luis
Published: May 2016

Caring for offspring diagnosed with eating disorders (EDs) entails being under high chronic stress, with negative consequences for health. However, most previous research has only evaluated self‐report measures of health, biological markers being poorly studied. In this regard, the evaluation of the cortisol awakening response (CAR) could add significant information about the biological basis of health disturbances in this population. The main aim of the present study was to compare CAR and self‐reported health between informal caregivers (ICs) of people with EDs and non‐caregivers. Furthermore, we explored the effect of the nature of the diagnosis, comparing ICs of people with anorexia and bulimia nervosa. ICs had a blunted CAR, and more anxiety and insomnia, and social dysfunction, together with poorer perceived general health than non‐caregivers. ICs of people with anorexia nervosa had higher levels of morning cortisol and burden, and more social dysfunction and severe depression than those of people with bulimia nervosa. Our results demonstrate marked health problems in ICs of people with EDs, especially when the care recipient has anorexia nervosa.

Chironomid‐inferred summer temperatures for the Last Glacial–Interglacial Transition from a lake sediment sequence in Muir Park Reservoir, west‐central Scotland
Authors: Brooks Stephen J. , Davies Kimberley L. , Mather Karen A. , Matthews Ian P. , Lowe J. John
Published: May 2016

Lake sediments spanning the Last Glacial–Interglacial Transition (LGIT: ca. 14.7 to 8 ka BP) from Muir Park Reservoir (MPR) in west‐central Scotland were analysed for chironomids. The site lies just outside the southern limit of a former glacier that advanced into the Loch Lomond Basin during the Loch Lomond (Younger Dryas) Stadial. Chironomid‐inferred mean July temperatures were derived using a modern Norwegian calibration dataset. Three tephra layers constrain the sequence chronologically. Inferred temperatures decline from a high value early in the Interstadial, punctuated by two cold oscillations, probably equivalent to GI‐1d and GI‐1b in the Greenland ice‐core record, and a warm oscillation (equivalent to GI‐1a) immediately before the severe cooling at the start of the Loch Lomond Stadial (GS‐1), when summer temperatures fell by about 5 °C below the Interstadial average. Summer temperatures fell by about 3 °C below the Interstadial average during GI‐1d, which is less severe than inferred from other chironomid records from eastern Scotland, and may reflect the influence of an oceanic–continental gradient. Cooling during GI‐1b was particularly strong at MPR when minimum temperatures were about the same as those reached during GI‐1d, unlike other sites investigated where GI‐1d is usually between 1 and 2 °C cooler than GI‐1b.

Phase Morphologies of Binary Polymer Blends Predicted by Systematically Coarse‐Grained Models
Authors: Wu Chaofu
Published: May 2016

In this work, the combined iterative Boltzmann inversion/conditional reversible work scheme is extended with a little modifications to derive the systematically coarse‐grained (CG) potentials for simulating two typical atactic polymer blends composed of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) or polystyrene (PS). Molecular dynamics simulations are extensively performed on the two blends with a wide formulation range. It is revealed by these simulations that, throughout the entire composition range, the PMMA/PVC blend is homogeneous whereas the PMMA/PS blend undergoes phase separation, which agrees well with the experimental observation that the former exhibits strong interactions that are absent in the latter. Depending upon the formulation, the immiscible PMMA/PS blend presents one single‐ or double‐continuous phase. It is further confirmed that intermolecular interactions play the key roles in forming the phase morphologies, which in turn can be inferred from only the three nonbonded CG potentials of one unlike pair and two like pairs.

Signs of moisture in the connecting joints of window constructions represent a typical feature of contemporary modern civil engineering. These problems occur both in new buildings and in reconstructed historical buildings. They manifest themselves as wet spots or black mould on window reveals, corners and edges.

This article describes a non‐destructive solution of these problems using a concrete real case in an existing building with long‐term signs of moisture in the window connecting joints. The elimination of this problem lies in the application of the developed calcium silicate material designed for moisture and thermal redevelopment of buildings. This article describes the properties of the newly developed material based on cement composite containing alumina silicate filler. The final material uses the same principles of moisture transport as the widely used autoclaved calcium silicate insulations. In comparison with these normally used materials, the developed material is unique by omitting hydrothermal curing in an autoclave. The new material, with a defined capillary structure, also utilizes waste heating plant fly ash, which improves the mixture rheology and decreases the amount of cement, thanks to its latent hydraulic properties. Materials with similar properties using waste raw material are used, for example, in the form of plasters [1–3]. The aim of this research was to develop a material belonging to the segment of the energy redevelopment of buildings, moisture redevelopment and interior insulation. Materials compliant with these segments must meet the requirements for a low value of diffusion resistance, high value of capillary activity and low value of thermal conductivity coefficient. The measured thermal and technical parameters of the developed material were transferred into the numerical Delphin software, where the moisture behaviour of the structural detail of the connecting joints of window construction was simulated. The developed recipes were further modified on the basis of these calculations, and boards with the best combination of thermal and technical variables were compared as well.
The Impact of Conviction for Anti‐Competitive Practices on Firm Valuation: A Contingency Approach
Authors: Le Roy Frédéric , Sentis Patrick , Jerson Ariste
Published: May 2016

The previous research on the impact of anti‐competitive practices on firm valuation has shown conflicting results. To explain these conflicting results, we introduce three contingency factors: the amount of the fine, the degree of company involvement, and the company size. To test the impact of these factors, an event study is conducted on a sample of 305 confirmed cases in Europe between 1998 and 2007. The results show that the impact of conviction for anti‐competitive practice is greater when the relative amount of the fine is high, the company's degree of involvement is high, and the company is small.

Prize Promotions as Costless Commitments
Authors: Tamura Masaoki
Published: May 2016

This study theoretically analyses the role of firms' prize promotions, using a simple and general microeconomic model. In a static environment, prize promotions are meaningless. However, in a dynamic environment, prize promotions work as firms' credible announcements on expansions in those firms' future production. The key lies in the firms' dynamic supply of lottery tickets in prize promotions. Because the prize promotions have been proved to be equivalent to credible announcements, we can say that prize promotions are costless and one of the best commitment tools in time‐inconsistency between the firm and consumers.

Effect of TiO2 nano‐filler on the electrical conductivity and free volume parameters of PSAN/TiO2 nanocomposites
Authors: Ningaraju S. , Ravikumar H.B.
Published: May 2016

To explore the effect of filler on the electrical conductivity of polymer nanocomposites, polystyrene co‐acrylonitrile and TiO2 (PSAN/TiO2) nanocomposites of different TiO2 wt% have been prepared. The microstructural characterization has been performed by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Positron lifetime parameters viz. o‐Ps lifetime (τ3) and free volume size (Vf) decreases up to 0.6 wt% suggests the filling of the cavities by Ti3+ and O− ions as well as complex formation. The increased free volume size (Vf) after 0.6 wt% of TiO2 was attributed to the o‐Ps annihilation at the interface of PSAN and TiO2 nanoclusters. The variation of electrical conductivity at lower and higher concentration of TiO2 is attributed to the blocking effect and space charge effect, respectively. The electrical conductivity decreases along with the free volume sizes at lower concentration of TiO2 due to the hindrance of the ions mobility. The increased conductivity with the increased free volume sizes indicates the formation of more void space at the interface due to the formation of TiO2 nanoclusters. The surface morphology of the nanocomposites studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows uniform dispersion at the lower wt% of TiO2 and increased size of nanocluster formation at the higher concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles in PSAN matrix. The crystallinity evaluated by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) results also indicates the formation of TiO2 nanoclusters between 0.6 and 1.0 wt% of TiO2. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) suggests the improved chemical and physical interaction between the functional groups of TiO2 and polymer side chain. POLYM.

Hydrogen on hybrid MoS2/graphene nanostructures
Authors: Maniadaki Aristea E. , Kopidakis Georgios
Published: May 2016

Transition metal dichalcogenides are rising candidates for the replacement of Pt catalysts in water splitting. In this theoretical study we focus on the hydrogen evolution reaction part of this process and on how hydrogen (H) interacts with MoS2 nanostructures, free‐standing or positioned on a graphene substrate. Density functional theory calculations confirm the stability of such nanostructures and our results for H on several configurations, from 2D infinite monolayers to quasi‐1D MoS2 ribbons and quasi‐0D MoS2 flakes, are presented. We calculate the adsorption energy of H atoms on various sites of the MoS2 nanostructures, notably at Mo and S active edges. Comparing free‐standing and MoS2/graphene hybrid systems we find that the effect of the support on the adsorption of H on MoS2 nanostructures is quite significant when the substrate induces strain.

Frequency and Determinants of a Short-Interval Follow-up Recommendation after an Abnormal Screening Mammogram
Authors: Pelletier Eric , Daigle Jean-Marc , Defay Fannie , Major Diane , Guertin Marie-Hélène , Brisson Jacques
Published: May 2016

Purpose

After imaging assessment of an abnormal screening mammogram, a follow-up examination 6 months later is recommended to some women. Our aim was to identify which characteristics of lesions, women, and physicians are associated to such short-interval follow-up recommendation in the Quebec Breast Cancer Screening Program.

Methods

Between 1998 and 2008, 1,839,396 screening mammograms were performed and a total of 114,781 abnormal screens were assessed by imaging only. Multivariate analysis was done with multilevel Poisson regression models with robust variance and generalized linear mixed models.

Results

A short-interval follow-up was recommended in 26.7% of assessments with imaging only, representing 2.3% of all screens. Case-mix adjusted proportion of short-interval follow-up recommendations varied substantially across physicians (range: 4%-64%). Radiologists with high recall rates (≥15%) had a high proportion of short-interval follow-up recommendation (risk ratio: 1.82; 95% confidence interval: 1.35-2.45) compared to radiologists with low recall rates (<5%). The adjusted proportion of short-interval follow-up was high (22.8%) even when a previous mammogram was usually available.

Conclusions

Short-interval follow-up recommendation at assessment is frequent in this Canadian screening program, even when a previous mammogram is available. Characteristics related to radiologists appear to be key determinants of short-interval follow-up recommendation, rather than characteristics of lesions or patient mix. Given that it can cause anxiety to women and adds pressure on the health system, it appears important to record and report short-interval follow-up and to identify ways to reduce its frequency. Short-interval follow-up recommendations should be considered when assessing the burden of mammography screening.
Nonlandmark classification in paleobiology: computational geometry as a tool for species discrimination
Authors: Mike Joshua , Sumrall Colin D. , Maroulas Vasileios , Schwartz Fernando
Published: May 2016

One important and sometimes contentious challenge in paleobiology is discriminating between species, which is increasingly accomplished by comparing specimen shape. While lengths and proportions are needed to achieve this task, finer geometric information, such as concavity, convexity, and curvature, plays a crucial role in the undertaking. Nonetheless, standard morphometric methodologies such as landmark analysis are not able to capture in a quantitative way these features and other important fine-scale geometric notions.

Here we develop and implement state-of-the-art techniques from the emerging field of computational geometry to tackle this problem with the Mississippian blastoid Pentremites. We adapt a previously known computational framework to produce a measure of dissimilarity between shapes. More precisely, we compute “distances” between pairs of 3D surface scans of specimens by comparing a mix of global and fine-scale geometric measurements. This process uses the 3D scan of a specimen as a whole piece of data incorporating complete geometric information about the shape; as a result, scans used must accurately reflect the geometry of whole, undamaged, undeformed specimens. Using this information we are able to represent these data in clusters and ultimately reproduce and refine results obtained in previous work on species discrimination. Our methodology is landmark free, and therefore faster and less prone to human error than previous landmark-based methodologies.

Published: May 2016

Earlier studies have shown a protective association between adherence to healthy eating guidelines and mental disorders in Western nations; however, data in this regard are limited from the understudied region of Middle East. We examined the association between adherence to healthy eating guidelines, as measured by Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI)-2010, and prevalence of anxiety and depression in a large sample of Iranian adults. In this cross-sectional study, data on dietary intakes of 3363 adult participants were collected using a validated dish-based 106-item semi-quantitative FFQ. Adherence to healthy eating was quantified using AHEI-2010, as suggested by earlier publications. The Iranian validated version of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess anxiety and depression in study participants. Data on other covariates were gathered using a pre-tested questionnaire. Overall, the prevalence of anxiety and depression was 15·2 % (males 10·8 % and females 18·3 %) and 30·0 % (males 22·9 % and females 35·1 %), respectively. After controlling for potential confounders, those in the top quartile of AHEI-2010 had a 49 % lower chance of anxiety (OR 0·51; 95 % CI 0·35, 0·72) and a 45 % lower odds of depression (OR 0·55; 95 % CI 0·42, 0·72), compared with those in the bottom quartile. Stratified analysis by sex revealed that women in the highest categories of AHEI-2010 had a 49 % lower odds of having anxiety and depression, after adjustment for confounders, but no significant association was found in men. In addition, among individuals who were 40 years old or younger, those with high adherence to AHEI-2010 were 58 and 51 % less likely to have anxiety and depression, compared with those with less adherence. Adherence to healthy eating was inversely associated with a lower chance of anxiety and depression in Iranian adults. Prospective studies are required to confirm these associations in Middle-Eastern populations.
