THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INEXPENSIVE RETRACTABLE VERTICAL CAMERA RIG FOR A LIGHT AIRCRAFT
Authors: Ekin W. H.
Published: July 2010

The development and operation of an inexpensive retractable vertical camera rig is described. Unlike several commercially available camera packages, the cameras on this rig are accesible in flight thus permitting the changing of magazines and other operations. Since the camera carriage is only deployed when over the site to be photographed, the aircraft performance is not degraded during positioning flights.

ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS FOR THE WILD NTP CONCEPT
Authors: Vozikis E.
Published: July 2010

This paper discusses a number of the theoretical and practical aspects of the use of photogrammetric methods in solving problems that arise from the measurement techniques employed in engineering applications. A brief description is given of the theoretical principles on which the NTP (non‐topographic photogrammetry)concept, developed by Wild Heerbrugg, is based and examples of practical projects which have employed this approach are presented. Future prospects are examined and conclusions are drawn concerning the economy and accuracy that can be achieved by techniques based on this concept.
INPUT OF PHOTOGRAMMETRIC DATA TO GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Authors: Walker A. S.
Published: July 2010

Photogrammetric data form a major input to geographical information systems. The evolution of digital output from stereoplotters is traced, from hardwired devices producing co‐ordinates or hardcopy to direct links with sophisticated GIS software. The view that the transfer and reformatting processes are simple and straightforward is examined and it is suggested that considerable labelling and structuring of data are necessary before the full power and flexibility of GISs can be harnessed. Hence it is argued that on line database creation by means of stereoplotter/GIS interfaces may not be the most cost effective procedure.
LEAST SQUARES MATCHING METHOD: SOME EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
Authors: Rosenholm D.
Published: July 2010

The effect on accuracy resulting from some changes to the conventional least squares matching method is investigated. Parallaxes computed automatically with matching methods have been compared with manual measurements made in a stereocomparator. Examples have been taken from both large and small scale aerial photographs and from close range images. Different linear geometric and radiometric parameters have been used as additional unknowns. The use of data snooping in digital matching with the least squares matching method has also been investigated. The results show that the introduction of additional affine parameters has a positive effect on the accuracy when the window size is larger than 30 × 30 pixels. The use of the data snooping technique is promising. The best precision obtained was between 10 pm and 15 μm, expressed as radial root mean square deviation, corresponding to approximately half a pixel. Gross error detection is possible to a large extent with photographs of good image quality.

REQUIREMENTS FOR PHOTOCONTROL
Authors: Leatherdale J. D.
Published: July 2010

Most normal requirements of photocontrol for mapping are outlined in terms of accuracies, patterns and densities of points, and methods of identification. An established mapping organisation is well able to make the necessary allowances for particular local difficulties.

Ground control remains an expensive, high risk and time consuming part of the map production process which should be kept to a minimum by using aerial triangulation and airborne control where appropriate. Once the GPS (global positioning system) satellites become fully operational, the approach to control will have to be reassessed.
QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF DIGITAL ELEVATION MODELS PRODUCED BY AUTOMATIC STEREOMATCHERS FROM SPOT IMAGE PAIRS
Authors: Day T. , Muller J.‐P. A. L.
Published: July 2010

A number of published steromatching algorithms have been implemented and tested on SPOT images of areas for which gridded digital elevation models (DEMs) are available with spacings of 80 m or less, as well as ground control checkpoints.

Results are presented for comparison of stereomatched output with the DEMs as well as an analysis of the errors arising and their causes. Results are discussed for planimetrically geocoded and epipolar resampled data. An error budget describing effects due to orientation, feature localisation and matching are discussed and conclusions drawn for future work in this area.
GROUND CONTROL DETERMINATION FOR REGISTRATION OF SATELLITE IMAGERY USING DIGITAL MAP DATA
Authors: Morris A. C. , Stevens A. , Muller J.‐P. A. L.
Published: July 2010

Work is reported on the production of terrain elevation data from SPOT imagery. An important step in this process is determination of exterior orientation parameters for the images. Although an initial estimate is available in the SPOT header, refinements are required based on plan and height data. These are generally derived from photogrammetric measurements (or sources such as global positioning satellite systems), but accurate manual determination is time consuming.

This paper reports an alternative approach by investigating the use of existing map data (located on the earth's surface and in a known projection) to find corresponding “ground control points” in both map and image. Available maps may be in digital or paper form depending on the state of development of mapping in the part of the world being studied. The last revision date and the cartographic generalisation employed will also effect the fidelity of the final result. Practical semi‐automatic techniques for determining the height of ground control points from existing map data are described, including multiple profiles through digitised contour data, a commercial terrain modelling package based on Delaunay triangulation and the use of triangulation points on prominent features.

Comparisons between the methods are made and results obtained are compared with Institut Géographique National datasets and photogrammetric measurements. Methods for fully automating not only the height determination but also the location of ground control features within a map database are discussed. Map and image registration is described and illustrated using Laser‐Scan's Rover software. Interactive and automated methods of registration are discussed.

Published: July 2010

A case study at the Norwegian Institute of Land Inventory (NIJOS) demonstrates that photogrammetry is an effective method for collecting data for geographical information systems (GIS). The process of establishing a photogrammetric data capture system is explained with special attention devoted to financial and personnel considerations. It is argued that photogrammetric data capture is viable provided that a stereodigitiser is used in conjunction with a modular solution GIS.
RECIPROCAL OBSERVATIONS IN PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Authors: Kyle S. A.
Published: July 2010

The paper discusses a method of photogrammetric control for engineering problems which relies on reciprocal observations between instruments. Since photogrammetric networks do not usually permit cameras to point at one another, it is proposed that at least one additional theodolite station be used to establish these observations. This results in directly measured space triangles; in a sense the photogrammetric task becomes a surveying problem. Potential advantages are a more efficient use of mixed photogrammetric and survey measurements, a stronger network geometry and a direct solution for the orientation parameters of the instruments. Special attention must be given to targeting the camera and theodolite stations.

Authors: Gruen A.
Published: July 2010

Fully digital photogrammetric close range systems allow for on line or even real time processing of data. This gives access to a great number of new applications, especially in those cases where a moving object has to be dynamically recorded or a moving sensor has to be positioned and oriented in three dimensional space, as is the case in robotics.

This article gives a brief survey of the problems and potential of these new systems and techniques. Aspects of fast data acquisition and processing are addressed and a concise description of the DIPS II digital station is provided. The accuracy of digital systems is reviewed and two significant new algorithmic developments are referenced. Finally, three characteristic projects demonstrate the potential and performance of digital close range photogrammetry.

ADAM TECHNOLOGY MPS‐2: WHAT THE USERS THINK
Authors: Uren J. , Thomas P. R.
Published: July 2010

Low cost analytical plotters for use with 35 mm and 70 mm metric and non‐metric photography are increasingly being considered as a means of introducing photogrammetry to non‐photogrammetrists. One of these instruments, an Adam Technology MPS‐2, recently formed the basis for a research project into the feasibility of such non‐specialist use. During the project, an MPS‐2 users' group was formed and many of the current users were asked to complete a questionnaire detailing their experiences with the instrument. Almost 40 users responded and their replies are given in this paper, which begins by outlining the project and goes on to discuss the comments received. The paper ends with an appraisal of the MPS‐2 as seen through the eyes of its users and concludes that, considering its relatively low cost, it is definitely worthy of consideration by non‐specialists.

Unilateral Localized Failure of Beard Growth
Authors: Núñez María , Miralles Enrique S. , Arrazola José M. , Ledo Antonio
Published: July 2010

Abstract: Hair may be classified by type as vellus or terminal. The transformation of vellus follicies into terminal follicles is induced by androgens in androgen‐dependent areas by promoting the genetic program existing within individual follicies. Patients with normal androgen plasma levels and absent hair growth in certain areas under androgenic control have been described. One explanation of this condition may be abnormal target tissue sensitivity. We report a 17‐year‐old man whose only complaint was inability to grow a beard on the left side of his face.

Effects of Alcohol Taxes on Alcohol‐Related Mortality in Florida: Time‐Series Analyses From 1969 to 2004
Authors: Maldonado‐Molina Mildred M. , Wagenaar Alexander C.
Published: July 2010

Background:  Over a hundred studies have established the effects of beverage alcohol taxes and prices on sales and drinking behaviors. Yet, relatively few studies have examined effects of alcohol taxes on alcohol‐related mortality. We evaluated effects of multiple changes in alcohol tax rates in the state of Florida from 1969 to 2004 on disease (not injury) mortality.

Methods:  A time‐series quasi‐experimental research design was used, including nonalcohol deaths within Florida and other states’ rates of alcohol‐related mortality for comparison. A total of 432 monthly observations of mortality in Florida were examined over the 36‐year period. Analyses included ARIMA, fixed‐effects, and random‐effects models, including a noise model, tax independent variables, and structural covariates.

Results:  We found significant reductions in mortality related to chronic heavy alcohol consumption following legislatively induced increases in alcohol taxes in Florida. The frequency of deaths (t = −2.73, p = 0.007) and the rate per population (t = −2.06, p = 0.04) declined significantly. The elasticity effect estimate is −0.22 (t = −1.88, p = 0.06), indicating a 10% increase in tax is associated with a 2.2% decline in deaths.

Conclusions:  Increased alcohol taxes are associated with significant and sizable reductions in alcohol‐attributable mortality in Florida. Results indicate that 600 to 800 lives per year could be saved if real tax rates were returned to 1983 levels (when the last tax increase occurred). Findings highlight the role of tax policy as an effective means for reducing deaths associated with chronic heavy alcohol use.
Liver Disease and HPLC Quantification of Disialotransferrin for Heavy Alcohol Use: A Case Series
Authors: Stewart Scott H. , Comte‐Walters Susana , Bowen Emily , Anton Raymond F.
Published: July 2010

Background:  It had previously been suggested that individuals with cirrhosis may have a pattern of transferrin glycosylation that interferes with the interpretation of carbohydrate‐deficient transferrin (CDT) testing for heavy alcohol use. The goal of this case series was to evaluate the prevalence of liver disease among individuals with poor resolution of transferrin glycoforms by high performance liquid chromatography.

Methods:  We reviewed the electronic medical records of 35 consecutive patients with poor chromatographic resolution of disialotransferrin from trisialotransferrin and recorded information on diagnosed liver disease, liver function testing, and other factors.

Results:  Thirty of the 35 subjects with poor chromatographic resolution of the transferrin glycoforms had sufficient data in the medical record for some estimation of liver function. Of these 30 subjects, 25 had previously diagnosed liver pathology. Of the remaining 5 subjects, 2 had liver imaging results suggestive of benign tumor; the remaining 3 had mildly elevated bilirubin and aminotransferase activity, and low albumin.

Conclusions:  Liver abnormalities, but not necessarily cirrhosis, are common in individuals with poor chromatographic separation of transferrin glycoforms, which might lead to false‐positive results on CDT testing. However, the chromatographic‐based assay can detect this issue, minimizing the reporting of false positives, but not necessarily assisting in valid detection of heavy drinking.
A Controlled Trial of an Intervention to Improve Urinary and Fecal Incontinence and Constipation
Authors: Schnelle John F. , Leung Felix W. , Rao Satish S. C. , Beuscher Linda , Keeler Emmett , Clift Jack W. , Simmons Sandra
Published: July 2010

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate effects of a multicomponent intervention on fecal incontinence (FI) and urinary incontinence (UI) outcomes.

DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial.

SETTING: Six nursing homes (NHs).

PARTICIPANTS: One hundred twelve NH residents.

INTERVENTION: Intervention subjects were offered toileting assistance, exercise, and choice of food and fluid snacks every 2 hours for 8 hours per day over 3 months.

MEASUREMENTS: Frequency of UI and FI and rate of appropriate toileting as determined by direct checks from research staff. Anorectal assessments were completed on a subset of 29 residents.

RESULTS: The intervention significantly increased physical activity, frequency of toileting, and food and fluid intake. UI improved (P=.049), as did frequency of bowel movements (P<.001) and percentage of bowel movements (P<.001) in the toilet. The frequency of FI did not change. Eighty‐nine percent of subjects who underwent anorectal testing showed a dyssynergic voiding pattern, which could explain the lack of efficacy of this intervention program alone on FI.

CONCLUSION: This multicomponent intervention significantly changed multiple risk factors associated with FI and increased bowel movements without decreasing FI. The dyssynergic voiding pattern and rectal hyposensitivity suggest that future interventions may have to be supplemented with bulking agents (fiber), biofeedback therapy, or both to improve bowel function.
Synthesis of High Aspect Ratio Platelet SrTiO3
Authors: Ebrahimi Mohammad E. , Allahverdi Mehdi , Safari Ahmad
Published: July 2010

A method for synthesis of high aspect ratio platelet seeds by growth of SrTiO3 on Sr3Ti2O7 core particles is reported. The aim of this study was to identify and control the morphology and size of SrTiO3 particles via molten salt synthesis. Platelet and tabular morphologies with rectangular faces were obtained using rutile and anatase, respectively. Platelet SrTiO3 particles with an edge length of 10–40 μm and a thickness of 1–4 μm were obtained. High aspect ratios (edge length to thickness) of 7–10 were measured for platelet particles as opposed to lower aspect ratios of 2–4 for tabular particles. Highly anisotropic platelets are suitable template candidates to achieve textured ceramics.

Methods:  A prospective study was undertaken to examine the impact of gingival MMP lesions on the human periodontium of 29 patients. Parameters evaluated included full mouth plaque score (FMPS), full mouth bleeding upon probing scores, probing depths (PD), gingival recession, clinical attachment level (CAL), mobility score, furcation involvement, number of missing teeth and Machtei criteria.

Results:  All periodontal parameters recorded were increased in cases when compared to controls in univariate statistics. The mean differences between groups in PD (0.8 ± 0.2 mm, 95% CI 0.3–1.3), CAL (1.3 ± 0.4 mm, 95% CI 0.4–2.2), FMPS (41.0 ± 6.2%, 95% CI 28.7–53.4), FMBS (16.2 ± 6.6%, 95% CI 3.0–29.4) and tooth loss (2 ± 1 teeth, 95% CI 1–3) were all statistically significant (P < 0.01 for all). Substantial differences in domiciliary oral hygiene routines were observed (P < 0.0001). In multivariate models when FMPS was included as covariate the difference between groups in all clinical periodontal parameters was no longer statistically significant.

Conclusions:  Our results showed that periodontal status is worse in MMP patients if compared with healthy controls due to a substantial difference in oral hygiene. Oral health should be promoted in MMP.

Oral Diseases (2011) 17, 180–186

Objectives:  The primary aim of this study was to compare a new mouthwash (SB12®) containing 0.025% chlorhexidine and 0.3% zinc for oral malodour reduction against four commercially available mouthwashes and negative control. A secondary aim was to compare the two methods for measuring volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) by halimetry and OralChroma.

Methods:  Organoleptic scale, halimeter and the OralChroma were used to assess oral malodour and VSC. The effects of five test formulations and water (negative control) were assessed after 30, 60, 90 and 180 min, with 1 week between the treatments to avoid any cross‐over effect.

Results:  Reduction in H2S by halimetry and malodour levels by organoleptic assessment ranged from, slight (LacerFresh®) (P > 0.05), moderate (BreathRx®, SmartMouth®) (P < 0.01) to marked effects (SB12®, Listerine®) (P < 0.001) at all time points compared with water. The largest differences were observed at 30 min and decreased with time. SB12® showed separation from Listerine® at 180 min, using ANOVA plus Bonferroni’s Multiple Comparison post‐test (P < 0.05). Relationships between organoleptic, halimeter and OralChroma were between R2 = 0.795 and 0.926.

Conclusion:  SB12 shows a consistent and reproducible inhibitory effect on oral malodour parameters, which in turn correlate well with each other.

Catechol‐O‐methyltransferase (COMT) is a ubiquitously expressed enzyme that maintains basic biologic functions by inactivating catechol substrates. In humans, polymorphic variance at the COMT locus has been associated with modulation of pain sensitivity and risk for developing psychiatric disorders. A functional haplotype associated with increased pain sensitivity was shown to result in decreased COMT activity by altering mRNA secondary structure‐dependent protein translation. However, the exact mechanisms whereby COMT modulates pain sensitivity and behavior remain unclear and can be further studied in animal models. We have assessed Comt1 gene expression levels in multiple brain regions in inbred strains of mice and have discovered that Comt1 is differentially expressed among the strains, and this differential expression is cis‐regulated. A B2 short interspersed nuclear element (SINE) was inserted in the 3′‐untranslated region (3′‐UTR) of Comt1 in 14 strains generating a common haplotype that correlates with gene expression. Experiments using mammalian expression vectors of full‐length cDNA clones with and without the SINE element show that strains with the SINE haplotype (+SINE) have greater Comt1 enzymatic activity. +SINE mice also exhibit behavioral differences in anxiety assays and decreased pain sensitivity. These results suggest that a haplotype, defined by a 3′‐UTR B2 SINE element, regulates Comt1 expression and some mouse behaviors.
The Decline of Son Preference in South Korea: The Roles of Development and Public Policy
Authors: Chung Woojin , Gupta Monica Das
Published: July 2010

For years, sex ratios at birth kept rising in South Korea despite rapid development. We show that this was not an anomaly: underlying son preference fell with development, but the effect of son preference on sex ratios at birth rose until the mid‐1990s as a result of improved sex‐selection technology. Now South Korea leads Asia with a declining sex ratio at birth. We explore how son preference was affected by development and by public policy. Decomposition analysis indicates that development reduced son preference primarily through triggering normative changes across society—rather than just in individuals whose socioeconomic circumstances had changed. The cultural underpinnings of son preference in preindustrial Korea were unraveled by industrialization and urbanization even as public policies sought to uphold the patriarchal family system. Our results suggest that child sex ratios in China and India may decline before those countries reach South Korean levels of development, since the governments of both countries vigorously promote normative change to reduce son preference.

Published: July 2010

Divorce mediation, as it has evolved in North America, is a relatively new development in Israel. The Israeli socio‐legal and cultural context present several obstacles along the road to cooperative settlement of divorce conflicts. This article discusses the secular and religious dual court systems, the Jewish law requiring mutual agreement to divorce, and the impact of certain inequalities of the sexes. Mediation services in the public and private sectors are described.
SPLIT IDENTITY AND CHILDREN OF DIVORCE
Authors: McKane Maureen L.
Published: July 2010

Divorce, although a statistical norm, is a developmental trauma to the children involved. This article looks at the two‐camp emotional environment of a divorcing family and its effect on the formation of a child's identity. By examining developmental ages, chosen according to divorce research, the author attempts to show how the interspouse emotional cathexes negatively affect a child's sense of self in ways specific to the child's age at the divorce.

This article discusses supervision objectives, the importance of maintaining the parent‐child relationship, instances warranting recommendation for no parental contact, qualifications of the supervisor, and practical guidelines for supervision.
FAMILY COURT REFORM IN SIX PENNSYLVANIA COUNTIES
Authors: Mastrofski Jennifer Adams
Published: July 2010

This article describes judicial behavior in local family court reform movements, vis‐à‐vis six case studies, as part of a larger study on the implementation of court‐connected custody mediation in Pennsylvania. Research findings provide new insight into the initiation of change by judges at the local court level. When motivated to do so, family court judges in Pennsylvania bring about local reform independently and expeditiously. Judges who desire alternative methods to litigation of custody disputes implement court change with few organizational constraints: They decide how and when reform is to be implemented, and they assign nonjudicial professionals to assist in reform implementation. Finally, judges establish their own criteria for assessing the success of change initiated. Throughout reform movements, judges take on a variety of roles in bringing about change—first as reform activists, then as leaders in reform movements, and finally, as advisors in reform implementation. These case studies reveal the diversity in judicial style when court change is implemented; at the same time, similar court goals and objectives are obtained.
