The role of team cognition in collaborative information seeking
Authors: McNeese Nathan J. , Reddy Madhu C.
Published: October 2015

Collaborative information seeking (CIS) is of growing importance in the information sciences and human–computer interaction (HCI) research communities. Current research has primarily focused on examining the social and interactional aspects of CIS in organizational or other settings and developing technical approaches to support CIS activities. As we continue to develop a better understanding of the interactional aspects of CIS, we need also start to examine the cognitive aspects of CIS. In particular, we need to understand CIS from a team cognition perspective. To examine how team cognition develops during CIS, we conducted a study using observations and interviews of student teams engaged in colocated CIS tasks in a laboratory setting. We found that a variety of awareness mechanisms play a key role in the development of team cognition during CIS. Specifically, we identify that search, information, and social methods of awareness are critical to developing team cognition during CIS. We discuss why awareness is important for team cognition, how team cognition comprises both individual and team‐level cognitive activities, and the importance of examining both interaction and cognition to truly understand team cognition.
The MIREX grand challenge: A framework of holistic user‐experience evaluation in music information retrieval
Authors: Hu Xiao , Lee Jin Ha , Bainbridge David , Choi Kahyun , Organisciak Peter , Downie J. Stephen
Published: October 2015

Music Information Retrieval (MIR) evaluation has traditionally focused on system‐centered approaches where components of MIR systems are evaluated against predefined data sets and golden answers (i.e., ground truth). There are two major limitations of such system‐centered evaluation approaches: (a) The evaluation focuses on subtasks in music information retrieval, but not on entire systems and (b) users and their interactions with MIR systems are largely excluded. This article describes the first implementation of a holistic user‐experience evaluation in MIR, the MIREX Grand Challenge, where complete MIR systems are evaluated, with user experience being the single overarching goal. It is the first time that complete MIR systems have been evaluated with end users in a realistic scenario. We present the design of the evaluation task, the evaluation criteria and a novel evaluation interface, and the data‐collection platform. This is followed by an analysis of the results, reflection on the experience and lessons learned, and plans for future directions.
University citation distributions
Authors: Perianes‐Rodriguez Antonio , Ruiz‐Castillo Javier
Published: October 2015

We investigate the citation distributions of the 500 universities in the 2013 edition of the Leiden Ranking produced by The Centre for Science and Technological Studies. We use a Web of Science data set consisting of 3.6 million articles published in 2003 to 2008 and classified into 5,119 clusters. The main findings are the following. First, the universality claim, according to which all university‐citation distributions, appropriately normalized, follow a single functional form, is not supported by the data. Second, the 500 university citation distributions are all highly skewed and very similar. Broadly speaking, university citation distributions appear to behave as if they differ by a relatively constant scale factor over a large, intermediate part of their support. Third, citation‐impact differences between universities account for 3.85% of overall citation inequality. This percentage is greatly reduced when university citation distributions are normalized using their mean normalized citation scores (MNCSs) as normalization factors. Finally, regarding practical consequences, we only need a single explanatory model for the type of high skewness characterizing all university citation distributions, and the similarity of university citation distributions goes a long way in explaining the similarity of the university rankings obtained with the MNCS and the Top 10% indicator.
Context, culture and critical thinking: Scottish secondary school teachers’ and pupils’ experiences of outdoor learning
Authors: Christie Beth , Beames Simon , Higgins Peter
Published: October 2015

Limited research exists that considers the usefulness of outdoor learning as a legitimate pedagogical approach for the delivery of a mainstream secondary school curriculum. To address this shortcoming, we investigated the ways in which mathematics and geography teachers and students from three secondary schools in Scotland responded to theOutdoor Journeysprogramme, which is a school‐based teaching approach that enables pupils to learn about the people and place in which they live. Data collection included participant observation, short questionnaires and interviews with approximately 150 students (11–14 years old) and 10 teachers. In most cases, pupils enjoyed the opportunity to guide their own learning experientially and beyond the familiar classroom context. Teachers acknowledged that such an approach presented an opportunity to develop pupils’ critical thinking skills and that these skills can, in some cases, be overlooked in early secondary education. Following these findings, we discuss the pedagogical implications arising from the inclusion of critical thinking as a key outcome of outdoor learning, and as part of the Outdoor Journeys programme, within a secondary school context. We continue by adding our voice to the nascent literature addressing outdoor learning approaches that seek to gain traction within the broader social ecology of established school cultures.
Asymmetric synthesis of aromatic β‐amino acids using ω‐transaminase: Optimizing the lipase concentration to obtain thermodynamically unstable β‐keto acids
Authors: Mathew Sam , Jeong Seong‐Su , Chung Taeowan , Lee Sang‐Hyeup , Yun Hyungdon
Published: October 2015

Synthesized aromatic β‐amino acids have recently attracted considerable attention for their application as precursors in many pharmacologically relevant compounds. Previous studies on asymmetric synthesis of aromatic β‐amino acids using ω‐transaminases could not be done efficiently due to the instability of β‐keto acids. In this study, a strategy to circumvent the instability problem of β‐keto acids was utilized to generate β‐amino acids efficiently via asymmetric synthesis. In this work, thermodynamically stable β‐ketoesters were initially converted to β‐keto acids using lipase, and the β‐keto acids were subsequently aminated using ω‐transaminase. By optimizing the lipase concentration, we successfully overcame the instability problem of β‐keto acids and enhanced the production of β‐amino acids. This strategy can be used as a general approach to efficiently generate β‐amino acids from β‐ketoesters.
Emotions and cognitions in consumer health behaviors: insights from chronically ill patients into the effects of hope and control perceptions
Authors: Makarem Suzanne C.
Published: October 2015

The lack of compliance to medical advice is a widely recognized healthcare concern with important implications to consumer well‐being. Through an in‐depth examination of the narratives provided by chronically ill patients, this study contributes to transformative consumer research by offering a better understanding of patients' compliance or lack of compliance with medical advice. The narratives are examined with a focus on two potential antecedents: hope and perceptions of control over health outcomes. Findings suggest that although control perceptions play a crucial role in compliance, chronically ill patients often feel that they have no control over their health outcomes. The narratives reveal that the positive emotion of hope is a motivator for positive health behaviors. Additionally, the lived experiences accounts suggest a possible relationship between hope and control perceptions: patients' belief in their ability to manage their chronic illness facilitates hope but might not be essential to it. The importance of healthcare providers' role in cultivating hope and customizing their interactions with patients is discussed. The implications also indicate that health initiatives aimed at increasing treatment compliance should consider alternatives to messages calling for patients to take control of their health. Instead, future research on health behavior should look beyond social cognition models of health behavior and focus on the role of positive emotions such as hope.

Assessment of childhood chronic pain: Focus on functioning
Authors: Nassau Jack H.
Published: October 2015

Chronic pain in childhood is a common medical problem with many potential detrimental biological, psychological, and social effects. Over time, chronic pain can influence, and be influenced by, biological systems (e.g., sleep patterns, the way the nervous system processes pain signals), psychological functioning (e.g., emotional well‐being, ability to concentrate), and social functioning (e.g., school attendance, participation in peer and family activities). Importantly, these effects often interact with one another. For example, sleep disruption may lead to fatigue that interferes with school attendance. Or, decreased physical and social activity may lead to poorer mood. And on top of it all, pain hurts!

Radiation dose variation in fluoroscopic imaging
Authors: Chambers Charles E.
Published: October 2015

Key Points

Variations in dose exist amongst various imaging systems and in various acquisition angulations; this is not a new finding.

Assessment of Image quality should accompany an assessment of dose, as these complement each other.

Routine assessment of dose and image quality with potential comparisons amongst operators, laboratories, and imaging systems may prove beneficial for radiation safety in interventional cardiology practice.
Introduction of a Fe3O4 Core Enhances the Photocatalytic Activity of MIL‐100(Fe) with Tunable Shell Thickness in the Presence of H2O2
Authors: Zhao Hongying , Qian Lin , Lv Huanli , Wang Yanbin , Zhao Guohua
Published: October 2015

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of porous crystallized materials, which have attracted great interest for sustainable energy and environmental remediation. The functionalization of MOF‐based catalysts has been investigated to improve their photocatalytic ability. Here, we present a way of enhancing a magnetic MOF‐based photocatalyst composed of MIL‐100(Fe) and Fe3O4. The photocatalytic performance of the MOFs was significantly enhanced by the simultaneous introduction of a Fe3O4 core and H2O2, as the photoinduced holes and electrons of the MOF were relayed to the core F3O4 and reacted with H2O2, respectively. The optimal thickness of the MOF shell is ≈50 nm for core–shell Fe3O4@MIL‐100 microspheres to achieve the highest photocatalytic ability. Moreover, core–shell Fe3O4@MIL‐100(Fe) can be easily recycled without significant loss of photocatalytic ability after being used several times.

Authors: Kobayashi Shū , Okumura Mikiko , Akatsuka Yuichi , Miyamura Hiroyuki , Ueno Masaharu , Oyamada Hidekazu
Published: October 2015

We developed poly(dimethyl)silane‐supported Pd catalysts that are readily prepared from Pd(OAc)2, poly(dimethyl)silane, and Al2O3. The immobilization was achieved for the first time with a support that does not contain benzene rings. The Pd catalyst thus prepared was found to have higher hydrogenation activity than Pd/C. Furthermore, the catalyst was used in continuous‐flow hydrogenation with various substrates, including simple liquid substrates (neat) and dissolved solid substrates. Vegetable oils, squalenes, and phosphatidylcholine were successfully hydrogenated on gram to kilogram scales.
Dual‐Color Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence from Dispersions of Conductive Microbeads Addressed by Bipolar Electrochemistry
Authors: de Poulpiquet Anne , Diez‐Buitrago Beatriz , Milutinovic Milena , Goudeau Bertrand , Bouffier Laurent , Arbault Stéphane , Kuhn Alexander , Sojic Neso
Published: October 2015

Bipolar electrochemistry (BPE) is exploited here to address simultaneously thousands of carbon microbeads dispersed in solution. The suspension is placed in a capillary between two feeder electrodes generating an electric field in situ. The simultaneous occurrence of electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) at each bead leads to a global 3D luminescent phenomenon, remotely driven by BPE. This concept, demonstrated previously as a proof‐of‐principle, is extended here to luminol in order to tune the emission wavelength. Determinant analytical parameters such as the applied voltage and the number of emitters were studied for the optimization of the system. The linearity of the ECL intensity in the bulk as a function of the luminophore concentration is successfully demonstrated for both ECL systems [luminol and Ru(bpy)32+]. Finally, we show that both luminophores can be combined in the same capillary and addressed by BPE, thus leading to simultaneous ECL emissions at distinct wavelengths.
Naphthalene Imide Conjugates: Formation of Supramolecular Assemblies, and the Encapsulation and Release of Dyes through DNA‐Mediated Disassembly
Authors: Shankar Balaraman H. , Jayaram Dhanya T. , Ramaiah Danaboyina
Published: October 2015

We report the synthesis of two new amphiphilic conjugates 1 and 2 based on naphthalene di‐ and monoimide chromophores and the investigation of their photophysical, self‐assembly and DNA‐binding properties. These conjugates showed aqueous good solubility and exhibited strong interactions with DNA and polynucleotides such as poly(dG⋅dC)–poly(dG⋅dC) and poly(dA⋅dT)–poly(dA⋅dT). The interaction of these conjugates with DNA was evaluated by photo‐ and biophysical techniques. These studies revealed that the conjugates interact with DNA through intercalation with association constants in the order of 5–8×104 M−1. Of these two conjugates, bolaamphiphile 1 exhibited a supramolecular assembly that formed vesicles with an approximate diameter of 220 nm in the aqueous medium at a critical aggregation concentration of 0.4 mM, which was confirmed by SEM and TEM. These vesicular structures showed a strong affinity for hydrophobic molecules such as Nile red through encapsulation. Uniquely, when exposed to DNA the vesicles disassembled, and therefore this transformation could be utilised for the encapsulation and release of hydrophobic molecules by employing DNA as a stimulus.

Published: October 2015

Herein, we present a new rapid, efficient, and low‐cost radiosynthetic protocol for the conversion of 11CO2 to 11CO and its subsequent application in Pd‐mediated reactions of importance for PET applications. This room‐temperature methodology, using readily available chemical reagents, is carried out in simple glass vials, thus eliminating the need for expensive and specialized high‐temperature equipment to access 11CO. With this fast and near‐quantitative conversion of 11CO2 into 11CO, aryl and heteroaryl iodides were easily converted into a broad selection of biologically active amides in radiochemical yields ranging from 29–84 %.
