A Review of Inside the Criminal Mind
Authors: Weinstock R
Published: August 2015

This book presents an interesting approach to working with criminals but unfortunately loses much by severe overstatement and lack of any precise delineation of the population being described. It does give a description of the thinking patterns of many criminals and it does present a cognitive type of therapy which, however, it does not acknowledge as such. The author's treatment, as well as that of Yochelson with whom he had previously collaborated, involves direct forceful confrontation to the criminal of his thinking patterns, yet at the same time maintains polite respect for him. The book is rich in pertinent clinical material, and presents an approach that encourages the criminal to take responsibility for his actions without blaming others for his behavior. As such, it is a meaningful contribution.
A Field Kit for Sampling Gunshot Residue Particles
Authors: Tassa M , Adan N , Zeldes N , Leist Y
Published: August 2015

The application of scanning electron microscopy to gunshot residue particle detection requires a field sampling kit that can be used dependably by nonscientific field personnel. The kit developed by the authors uses adhesive tape on aluminum stubs to sample the suspect's hands. The kit evolved from prototypes that were subjected to extensive field tests. Comments by users pinpointed various shortcomings that were eliminated; the final version is suitable for rapid, straightforward application in the often hectic environment in which field officers must operate. The kit is also compact, durable, and inexpensive; it is thus especially suitable for large-scale fabrication, issue, and use on a regular basis.
The Effects of the Argon Ion Laser on Subsequent Blood Examinations
Authors: Platt SR
Published: August 2015

Dried bloodstains on cotton sheeting ranging in age from three days to three months were exposed to the argon ion laser for durations from 30 s to 3 main. The bloodstains showed greatly reduced reactions or none at all with presumptive reagents applied by fine mist spraying. Filter paper rubs of the same stains followed by presumptive testing yielded the appropriate oxidation reactions of the indicator reagents.
Identification of Phencyclidine and Its Analogues at Low Concentrations in Urine by Selected Ion Monitoring
Authors: Kelly RC , Christmore DS
Published: August 2015

This paper presents retention behavior and mass spectra of eluting peaks for twelve phenyl and thienyl analogues of phencyclidine (PCP) as well as PCP itself. An on-column decomposition product common to all thienyl analogues is described. Finally, a practical analytical procedure is given for the detection and identification of these compounds in low (under 5 mg/mL) concentrations in urine.
Laser Detection of Latent Fingerprints on Skin
Authors: Menzel ER
Published: August 2015

Latent fingerprints on skin can be developed by dusting them with fluorescent powders or evaporative staining with fluorescent dyes, followed by laser examination. On dead skin, latent fingerprints could be developed by evaporative staining over time spans up to two days after deposition.
Colchicine Poisoning as a Mode of Suicide
Authors: Allender WJ
Published: August 2015

Two cases of suicide involving colchicine are examined. Colchicine and colchicum preparations have been used for the relief of pain in acute gout and are reported to be effective for the treatment of periodic peritonitis. A method using enzymatic digestion, extraction, and high pressure liquid chromatographic analysis for the extraction and analysis of colchicine in autopsy specimens is described.
Analysis of Blood and Tissue for Amoxapine and Trimipramine
Authors: Wu Chen NB , Schaffer MI , Lin R-L , Hadac JP , Stein RJ
Published: August 2015

A method for the identification and quantitation of two tricyclic antidepressants, amoxapine (Asendin®) and trimipramine (Surmontil®) is presented here. Samples were extracted with hexane at pH 10, back-extracted with 1.0N sulfuric acid. The acidic layer was adjusted to pH 10 and re-extracted with hexane. Electron impact mass spectra were obtained. The base peak and molecular ion for amoxapine were at m/z 245 and 313, respectively. The base peak and molecular ion for trimipramine were at m/z 58 and 294, respectively. There were three forensic toxicology cases involving amoxapine in Cook County, IL, in 1980 and 1981. The concentrations of amoxapine in blood for these three cases were 1.66 mg/L, 7.16 mg/L, and 2.95 mg/L, respectively.
Summary of Skeletal Identification in Tennessee: 1971–1981
Authors: Bass WM , Driscoll PA
Published: August 2015

Records of 111 forensic anthropology cases from Tennessee received from September 1971 through September 1981 are analyzed. Thirty percent of the cases in which no identification existed when the skeleton arrived were positively identified and an additional “probable” identification was made in 11%. The skull or skull bones were the most common element recovered followed by femora, mandibles, and innominates, in that order. The sternum was the single major postcranial bone least likely to be recovered. January has been the single busiest month for the discovery of skeletal remains in Tennessee, and there are almost twice as many fire-related discoveries between September and February. In the first half of the decade, from 1971 through 1978, there were 39 cases with 72 cases occurring from 1977 through 1981. This increase is probably because of efforts to educate students at the University of Tennessee as well as lectures to law enforcement and citizens' groups.
Determination of Sex with a Discriminant Analysis of New Pelvic Bone Measurements: Part I
Authors: Schulter-Ellis FP , Schmidt DJ , Hayek L-A , Craig J
Published: August 2015

The pelves of 100 black skeletons were measured on both sides for the following: (1) length from the superiormost aspect of the pubic symphysis to the nearest rim of the acetabulum (PS-A), (2) length from the highest point of the pubic tubercle to the nearest rim of the acetabulum (PT-A), (3) acetabular diameter (AD), (4) the vertical distance from the anterior aspect of the ischial tuberosity to the farthest rim of the acetabulum (IT-A), and (S) greatest femur head diameter. From these, three indices were derived: AD/PS-A (acetabulum/pubis index), AD/PT-A (acetabular diameter/pubic tubercle-acetabular rim index), and IT-A/PS-A (ischium-acetabulum height/pubic symphysis-acetabular rim index). The left AD/PS-A ratio and left IT-A height proved statistically to be of greatest discriminating value. Using these two variables, a discriminant function was derived which, followed by sorting with femur head diameter, accurately classified 97% of our sample.

The acetabulum/pubis index alone with subsequent sorting by femur head diameter correctly assigned 96% of our sample. While this does not represent an improvement of predicatability over similar methods using the ischium/pubis index, measurements required for the acetabulum/pubis index are more easily defined and should, therefore, reduce the chance of observer error.
A Comparison of Ionization Techniques for Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy Analysis of Dye and Lachrymator Residues from Exploding Bank Security Devices
Authors: Martz RM , Reutter DJ , Lasswell LD
Published: August 2015

Electron impact (EI) ionization, positive ion chemical ionization (PICI), and negative ion chemical ionization (NICI) gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) have been applied to the analysis of the dye and tear gases used in common bank security devices. A direct comparison of these ionization techniques showed that chemical ionization methods are more sensitive than electron impact ionization for these chemicals. The choice of NICI or PICI depends on the tear gas or dye of interest and the chemical nature of interfering substances on the evidence. We demonstrate that a procedure which uses GC/MS with one or more of these ionization techniques can provide the sensitivity and selectivity required to detect and identify submicrogram quantities of these chemicals on forensic science evidence without extensive specimen preparation.
Criminal Identification Comparison: Aural Versus Visual Identifications Resulting from a Simulated Crime
Authors: Hollien H , Bennett G , Gelfer MP
Published: August 2015

This research was undertaken to investigate and contrast visual and aural/perceptual identifications of a previously unknown individual from a set of photographic and tape-recorded exemplars following a simulated crime. All participants were volunteers for the “criminal,” the victim of an “assault,” and all suspects drawn from a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) class; the “witnesses” were 61 students in a law class. The student/witnesses were divided into four groups. Group A made three identifications (serially) one day, one week, and two weeks after the crime took place. Group B saw the photographs and heard the tapes only once a week after the incident, and Group C only after two weeks had elapsed. Witnesses in a fourth group (D) followed the same schedual as did Group A; however, they were presented with foils similar in appearance and speech to the criminal. Group D was presented both the foil and criminal in the photographic lineup at the final judging s~sslon. The results demonstrated that visual identification can be quite accurate although not consistently or predictably so. By contrast, aural/perceptual identifications were relatively poor. No strong trends for latencies were observed, either for repeated trials or for procedures involving different Initiation latencies; nor did confidence levels appear to be related to accuracy of Judgment, Finally, when a similar looking foil was included in the identification task, there was a weak trend for the foil to be chosen more often in subsequent trials. These results support the position that eyewitness—and especially earwitness—testimony should be viewed by judges and juries with greater caution than has been the case in the past; by appropriate instructions, juries should be given assistance in interpreting and in assigning appropriate weight to this kind of testimony.
Russian Roulette with a Knife
Authors: Frazer M , Rosenberg S
Published: August 2015

The following case report describes an accidental stabbing that occurred on Halloween. The unwitting victim, while preparing for a holiday charade, stabbed himself with an ornamental dagger. By placing himself in a potentially hazardous situation, the victim's behavior entailed risk taking. The psychological implications of such risk taking are complex, and may be compared to such behaviors as russian roulette, gambling, and parasuicide.
Developing treatment for adrenocortical carcinoma
Authors: Kerkhofs T M A , Ettaieb M H T , Hermsen I G C , Haak H R
Published: August 2015

Cancer of the adrenal cortex (ACC) is a rare endocrine malignancy with limited treatment options. Patients typically present with autonomous hormonal overproduction and/or a large abdominal mass. Hormonal assays and medical imaging can be diagnostic, but urinary steroid profiling might be a more sensitive technique to assess malignancy in adrenal tumours. The stage of the disease at diagnosis is the most important prognostic factor. The current staging system needs refinement, especially to separate aggressive from indolent disease in stage IV patients and to select patients who need adjuvant treatment after complete surgical resection. Regarding the latter, assessing the proliferation index Ki-67 seems the best tool currently available. Genomic profiling is expected to become of clinical relevance in the future. Medical therapy is centred on the adrenolytic drug mitotane, which carries considerable toxicity and is not easy to manage. Its tolerability and long plasma level build-up phase may be improved by therapeutic drug monitoring based on pharmacokinetic modelling and intensive counselling of patients. Current chemotherapy regimens can offer disease stabilization in about 50% of patients, but an objective response should be expected in <25%. Research on targeted therapy and immunotherapy is difficult in this rare disease with often heavily pre-treated patients and has not yet been successful. Quality of care should be ensured by treating patients in centres with established experience in multidisciplinary oncologic care, who adhere to prevailing guidelines and state-of-the-art in diagnostic and treatment concepts. International collaboration in fundamental research and clinical trials is the key to further elucidate the pathogenesis and to improve patient care.
Exercise and Vascular Function in Child Obesity: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Dias Katrin A. , Green Daniel J. , Ingul Charlotte B. , Pavey Toby G. , Coombes Jeff S.
Published: August 2015

CONTEXT:

Conduit artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is a noninvasive index of preclinical atherosclerosis in humans. Exercise interventions can improve FMD in both healthy and clinical populations.

OBJECTIVE:

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the effect of exercise training on FMD in overweight and obese children and adolescents as well as investigate the role of cardiorespiratory fitness (peak oxygen consumption [Vo2peak]) on effects observed.

DATA SOURCES:

PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cinahl databases were searched from the earliest available date to February 2015.

STUDY SELECTION:

Studies of children and/or adolescents who were overweight or obese were included.

DATA EXTRACTION:

Standardized data extraction forms were used for patient and intervention characteristics, control/comparator groups, and key outcomes. Procedural quality of the studies was assessed using a modified version of the Physiotherapy Evidence Base Database scale.

RESULTS:

A meta-analysis involving 219 participants compared the mean difference of pre- versus postintervention vascular function (FMD) and Vo2peak between an exercise training intervention and a control condition. There was a significantly greater improvement in FMD (mean difference 1.54%, P < .05) and Vo2peak (mean difference 3.64 mL/kg/min, P < .05) after exercise training compared with controls.

LIMITATIONS:

Given the diversity of exercise prescriptions, participant characteristics, and FMD measurement protocols, varying FMD effect size was noted between trials.

CONCLUSIONS:

Exercise training improves vascular function in overweight and obese children, as indicated by enhanced FMD. Further research is required to establish the optimum exercise program for maintenance of healthy vascular function in this at-risk pediatric population.
Global Health Education in US Pediatric Residency Programs

Published: August 2015

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

Despite the growing importance of global health (GH) training for pediatric residents, few mechanisms have cataloged GH educational opportunities offered by US pediatric residency programs. We sought to characterize GH education opportunities across pediatric residency programs and identify program characteristics associated with key GH education elements.

METHODS:

Data on program and GH training characteristics were sought from program directors or their delegates of all US pediatric residency programs during 2013 to 2014. These data were used to compare programs with and without a GH track as well as across small, medium, and large programs. Program characteristics associated with the presence of key educational elements were identified by using bivariate logistic regression.

RESULTS:

Data were collected from 198 of 199 active US pediatric residency programs (99.5%). Seven percent of pediatric trainees went abroad during 2013 to 2014. Forty-nine programs (24.7%) reported having a GH track, 66.1% had a faculty lead, 58.1% offered international field experiences, and 48.5% offered domestic field experiences. Forty-two percent of programs reported international partnerships across 153 countries. Larger programs, those with lead faculty, GH tracks, or partnerships had significantly increased odds of having each GH educational element, including pretravel preparation.

CONCLUSIONS:

The number of pediatric residency programs offering GH training opportunities continues to rise. However, smaller programs and those without tracks, lead faculty, or formal partnerships lag behind with organized GH curricula. As GH becomes an integral component of pediatric training, a heightened commitment is needed to ensure consistency of training experiences that encompass best practices in all programs.

Reseña de Dónde está la Educación: actividad común interna y elementos estructurales de la intervención || Review of Where’s Education: common internal activity and structural elements of intervention
Authors: Touriñán-Morandeira Laura
Published: August 2015

Reseña de: Touriñan, J.M. (2014). Dónde está la educación: actividad común interna y elementos estructurales de la intervención. Santiago de Compostela: Netbiblo. 860 pp. ISBN: 978-84-9745-995-2. Depósito legal: C-277-2014La pregunta “Dónde está la educación” tiene una respuesta directa en este libro: donde está la actividad común interna de las personas y donde están los elementos estructurales de la intervención. Porque todos  realizamos actividad común interna: pensamos, sentimos, queremos, elegimos obrar, decidimos proyectos y creamos. Y porque todas esas actividades las utilizamos para educar, bajo condiciones específicas ajustadas a los elementos estructurales de la intervención. Esto es así, porque cualquier tipo de influencia no es educación, pero cualquier tipo de influencia puede ser transformado en una influencia educativa. El reto de la Pedagogía es transformar la información en conocimiento y el conocimiento en educación. La pedagogía se hace, de este modo, según el autor del libro, mesoaxiológica.
O DIREITO DE LIBERDADE DE TRABALHO E A DIGNIDADE DA PESSOA HUMANA: UM CONFLITO INEXISTENTE – O CASO DO LANÇAMENTO DOS ANÕES / THE RIGHT OF WORK FREEDOM AND THE DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN BEING: AN ABSENT CONFLICT – THE CASE OF DWARVES LAUNCHING
Authors: Kloster Lopes Sarila Hali
Published: August 2015

Um cidadão francês, com um pouco mais de um metro de altura, em 1991, passou a exercer uma atividade bastante distinta: era lançado em direção a um colchão de ar por clientes do bar em que trabalhava. Entretanto, tal prática, tida como trabalho do anão foi proibida, por considerá-la uma afronta à dignidade humana. O cidadão, indignado, recorreu alegando que carecia do trabalho e não caberia ao Estado retirar tal direito, ou seja, seu direito de liberdade de trabalho estava sendo lesado e por mais degradante que fosse a atividade, ele necessitava do emprego e abriria mão de qualquer proteção por parte do Estado. Tradicionalmente, a liberdade é confundida com a autonomia da vontade, ou seja, o indivíduo poderia fazer tudo aquilo que não estivesse proibido, elevando o direito subjetivo a um patamar de direito absoluto. Entretanto, os conceitos distanciam-se e mostram-se bem delimitados. O exercício da liberdade não se fundará em um suposto caráter absoluto do direito subjetivo, mas encontrará limites ao seu exercício, estes fundados em direitos, liberdades e garantias de outras pessoas que compõem a sociedade. Nesse caso, outros anões estavam sendo prejudicados, sua dignidade estava sendo ferida com as atitudes daquele. A dignidade pode ser entendida como uma qualidade integrante e irrenunciável da própria condição humana, pode e deve ser reconhecida, respeitada, promovida e protegida ou ainda como um princípio moral de que o ser humano deve ser tratado como um fim e nunca como um meio. Assim, não há um conflito existente entre a liberdade de trabalho e a dignidade. Verifica-se, então, a supremacia do princípio da dignidade, funcionando como um direito absoluto, o qual nunca deverá ser violado.Palavras-chave: Liberdade. Dignidade humana. Lançamento de anões.

Authors: Zampieri Natália
Published: August 2015

O presente artigo teve por fim comentar a decisão do Tribunal Superior de Madras, da Índia, a respeito de questão que envolve a patente do medicamento Glivec, fabricado pela empresa Novartis. Para tanto, fez-se uma breve retrospectiva do Caso Novartis AG versus União da Índia, explicando algumas questões que foram objeto de análise pelo Tribunal, por exemplo, a alteração legislativa indiana, a Declaração de Doha e o Acordo TRIPS. Além disso, foram feitas considerações a respeito das alegações da Novartis na defesa da importância da patente, da adaptação legislativa com o propósito do combate ao mecanismo denominado evergreening, bem como acerca de um relevante direito fundamental – o direito à saúde – usado como uma das justificativas da decisão do Tribunal. O estudo que se faz presente neste trabalho pretendeu, portanto, avaliar a controvérsia existente sobre a questão que circunda o tema do acesso aos medicamentos, considerando o direito de propriedade intelectual das indústrias farmacêuticas.Palavras-chave: TRIPS.

AVALIAÇÃO E QUALIDADE: DIFERENTES PERCURSOS NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA
Authors: Vieira Nilceia , Côco Valdete
Published: August 2015

As questões envolvendo a avaliação e a qualidade continuam na centralidade das políticas educacionais brasileiras, e são também objeto de muitos trabalhos científicos. Este texto discute sobre as interlocuções da avaliação e da qualidade no contexto da Educação Básica (EB), demarcando as diferentes trajetórias entre as etapas que compõem esse nível de ensino. Consideram-se como aportes as produções acadêmicas e a legislação brasileira, bem como as articulações entre as temáticas na perspectiva de sua relevância para as políticas educacionais contemporâneas. Aponta-se, então, para a necessidade de um posicionamento dos diferentes atores sociais acerca dos processos de avaliação da qualidade, que precisam estar articulados às finalidades da educação.

Context modeling based on feature models expressed as views on ontologies via mappings
Authors: Neskovic Sinisa , Matic Rade
Published: August 2015

This paper presents an approach for context modeling in complex self adapted
systems consisting of many independent context-aware applications. The
contextual information used for adaptation of all system applications is
described by an ontology treated as a global context model. A local context
model tailored to the specific needs of a particular application is defined
as a view over the global context in the form of a feature model. Feature
models and their configurations derived from the global context state are
then used by a specific dynamic software product line in order to adapt
applications at runtime. The main focus of the paper is on the realization of
mappings between global and local contexts. The paper describes an overall
model architecture and provides corresponding metamodels as well as rules for
a mapping between feature models and ontologies.

Three sterically-enhanced 2-imino-6-(1-naphthyl)pyridines, 2-{CMe=N(Ar)}-6-(1-C10H7)C5H3N [Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3 (L1dipp), 2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2 (L1tripp), 4-Br-2,6-i-Pr2C6H2 (L1Brdipp)], differing only in the electronic properties of the N-aryl group, have been prepared in high yield by the condensation reaction of 2-{CMe=O}-6-(1-C10H7)C5H3N with the corresponding aniline. Treatment of L1dipp, L1tripp and L1Brdipp with two equivalents of AlMe3 at elevated temperature affords the distorted tetrahedral 2-(amido-prop-2-yl)-6-(1-naphthyl)pyridine aluminum dimethyl complexes, [2-{CMe2N(Ar)}-6-(1-C10H7)C5H3N]AlMe2 [Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3 (1a), 2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2 (1b), 4-Br-2,6-i-Pr2C6H2 (1c)], in good yield. The X-ray structures of 1a–1c reveal that complexation has resulted in concomitant C–C bond formation via methyl migration from aluminum to the corresponding imino carbon in L1aryl; in solution, the restricted rotation of the pendant naphthyl group in 1 confers inequivalent methyl ligand environments. The ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone employing 1, in the presence of benzyl alcohol, proceeded efficiently at 30 °C producing polymers of narrow molecular weight distribution with the catalytic activities dependent on the nature of the substituent located at the 4-position of the N-aryl group with the most electron donating i-Pr derivative exhibiting the highest activity (1b > 1a > 1c); at 50 °C 1b mediates 100% conversion of the monomer to polycaprolactone (poly(CL)) in one hour. In addition to 1a, 1b and 1c, the single crystal X-ray structures are reported for L1dipp and L1tripp.

Authors: Tang Sai-Sai , Zheng Bi-Ying , Xiong Xing-Dong
Published: August 2015

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which lack significant protein-coding capacity, regulate various biological processes through diverse and as yet poorly understood molecular mechanisms. However, a number of studies in the past few years have documented important functions for lncRNAs in human diseases. Among these lncRNAs, lincRNA-p21 has been proposed to be a novel regulator of cell proliferation, apoptosis and DNA damage response, and involved in the initiation and progression of human diseases. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of lincRNA-p21, mainly focus on the known biological functions and its underlying mechanisms. Moreover, we highlight the growing body of evidences for the importance of lincRNA-p21 in diverse human diseases, which indicate lincRNA-p21 as a potential diagnostic marker and/or a valuable therapeutic target for these diseases.

Up to 40% of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) suffer from proton pump inhibitor refractory GERD but clinically the medications to strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to avoid irritating reflux are few in number. This study aimed to examine whether Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM) extracts induce tonic contraction of rat LES ex vivo and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. To investigate the mechanism underlying the SM extract-induced contractile effects, rats were pretreated with atropine (a muscarinic receptor antagonist), tetrodotoxin (a sodium channel blocker), nifedipine (a calcium channel blocker), and Ca2+-free Krebs-Henseleit solution with ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA), followed by administration of cumulative dosages of SM extracts. SM extracts induced dose-related tonic contraction of the LES, which was unaffected by tetrodotoxin, atropine, or nifedipine. However, the SM extract-induced LES contraction was significantly inhibited by Ca2+-free Krebs-Henseleit solution with EGTA. Next, SM extracts significantly induce extracellular Ca2+ entry into primary LES cells in addition to intracellular Ca2+ release and in a dose-response manner. Confocal fluorescence microscopy showed that the SM extracts consistently induced significant extracellular Ca2+ influx into primary LES cells in a time-dependent manner. In conclusion, SM extracts could induce tonic contraction of LES mainly through the extracellular Ca2+ influx pathway.
On the Optimization of a Probabilistic Data Aggregation Framework for Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks

Published: August 2015

Among the key aspects of the Internet of Things (IoT) is the integration of heterogeneous sensors in a distributed system that performs actions on the physical world based on environmental information gathered by sensors and application-related constraints and requirements. Numerous applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have appeared in various fields, from environmental monitoring, to tactical fields, and healthcare at home, promising to change our quality of life and facilitating the vision of sensor network enabled smart cities. Given the enormous requirements that emerge in such a setting—both in terms of data and energy—data aggregation appears as a key element in reducing the amount of traffic in wireless sensor networks and achieving energy conservation. Probabilistic frameworks have been introduced as operational efficient and performance effective solutions for data aggregation in distributed sensor networks. In this work, we introduce an overall optimization approach that improves and complements such frameworks towards identifying the optimal probability for a node to aggregate packets as well as the optimal aggregation period that a node should wait for performing aggregation, so as to minimize the overall energy consumption, while satisfying certain imposed delay constraints. Primal dual decomposition is employed to solve the corresponding optimization problem while simulation results demonstrate the operational efficiency of the proposed approach under different traffic and topology scenarios.
The Interaction between Cyclin B1 and Cytomegalovirus Protein Kinase pUL97 is Determined by an Active Kinase Domain

Replication of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is characterized by a tight virus-host cell interaction. Cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs) are functionally integrated into viral gene expression and protein modification. The HCMV-encoded protein kinase pUL97 acts as a CDK ortholog showing structural and functional similarities. Recently, we reported an interaction between pUL97 kinase with a subset of host cyclins, in particular with cyclin T1. Here, we describe an interaction of pUL97 at an even higher affinity with cyclin B1. As a striking feature, the interaction between pUL97 and cyclin B1 proved to be strictly dependent on pUL97 activity, as interaction could be abrogated by treatment with pUL97 inhibitors or by inserting mutations into the conserved kinase domain or the nonconserved C-terminus of pUL97, both producing loss of activity. Thus, we postulate that the mechanism of pUL97-cyclin B1 interaction is determined by an active pUL97 kinase domain.

Introducing Continuations
Authors: Barker Chris
Published: August 2015

This working paper introduces CONTINUATIONS (a concept borrowed from computer science) as a new technique for characterizing certain aspects of the semantics of a natural language. I should emphasize at the outset that this is just an introduction, and that more a rigorous and thorough treatment is under development (see Barker (ms)). In the meantime, this paper mentions certain formal results without proving them, and describes certain new empirical generalizations without exploring them. What it will do is provide an explicit account of a range of familiar phenomena relat­ed to quantification, including quantifier scope ambiguity, NP as a scope island, and generalized coordination. What makes the account noteworthy is that it provides a fully and strictly compositional analysis of quantification and generalized coordina­tion that does not rely on syntactic movement operations such as Quantifier Move­ment, auxiliary storage mechanisms such as Cooper Storage, or type ambiguity as in Hendriks' Flexible Types system.

An Experimental Investigation of Presupposition Projection in Conditional Sentences
Authors: Romoli Jacopo , Sudo Yasutada , Snedeker Jesse
Published: August 2015

Conditional sentences with a presupposition trigger in the consequent— if φ, then ψ_p—show peculiar projection properties. That is, the entire sentence suggests that p in some cases, and that φ → p in other cases. We report on the results of two sentence-picture matching experiments that indicate that the perceived dependence of the presupposition p on the antecedent φ affects which inference is made. The results are also used to compare two major theories of presupposition projection, and we argue that the theory that postulates φ → p as the presupposition of all conditional sentences explains the results more straightforwardly than its competitor.
CF-reduplication in English: Dynamic Prototypes & Contrastive Focus Effects
Authors: Song Myounghyoun , Lee Chungmin
Published: August 2015

CF-reduplications refer to three different levels of a category: the prototype of a category, the subcategories in a category or a category itself. The CF-marked modifier receives the intension of a base word and produces a contingently determined denotation of CF-reduplications, on the basis of dynamic prototypes in the minds of speakers. The Contrastive Focus exhaustively selects the denotation of the CF-reduplications out of immediately relevant alternatives in the discourse with the exclusive implication that only the denotation of the reduplicated expression is intended by speakers. CF-reduplications semantically have dynamically changing denotations and pragmatically facilitate the communication between speakers with contrastive focus effects.
Dynamic Pragmatics, or. Why We Shouldn't be Afraid of Embedded Implicature
Authors: Simons Mandy
Published: August 2015

This paper examines a particular case of embedded pragmatic effect, here dubbed "local pragmatic enrichment". I argue that local enrichment is fairly easily accommodated within semantic theories which take content to be structured. Two standard approaches to dynamic semantics, DRT and Heimian CCS, are discussed as candidates. Focusing on cases of local enrichment of disjuncts in clausal disjunctions, I point out that in these cases, local enrichment is driven by global felicity requirements, demonstrating that the local/global distinction is not a simple dichotomy.
Fastidious distributivity
Authors: Dotlacil Jakub
Published: August 2015

I argue that nominal predicates cannot be interpreted distributively if the subject is not a distributive quantifier. This is surprising and problematic for the current theories of distributivity. I offer a novel analysis of distributivity, fastidious distributivity, in which only arguments can be interpreted distributively and formalize fastidious distributivity using team logic.
Interpreting Bare Nouns: Type-Shifting vs. Silent Heads
Authors: Izumi Yu
Published: August 2015

Bare noun phrases in article-less languages such as Japanese have a variety of interpretations. There are two competing approaches to the semantics of bare noun phrases: one is to appeal to type-shifting to derive various interpretations, and the other is to introduce more structure, i.e., silent determiners. I present an argument against the latter silent-head approach based on the behaviors of phonologically null arguments in Japanese. The silent-head approach has difficulties in explaining the semantics of null arguments, whatever syntactic analysis of null arguments turns out to be correct. The type-shifting approach to bare noun phrases, by contrast, easily accounts for the semantics of null arguments.
Sole Sisters
Authors: Coppock Elizabeth , Beaver David
Published: August 2015

We propose a unified analysis of exclusives, taking into account NP- and VP-modifying 'only' and 'just' and the adjectival exclusives 'mere', 'sole', 'only', 'single', and 'exclusive'. We use paraphrases with 'at most' and 'at least' to argue that exclusives uniformly signify a presupposed lower bound and an ordinary content upper bound on the true alternative answers to the current question under discussion, thus extending Beaver and Clark (2008). According to our analysis, exclusives vary along two parameters: (i) the ontological type of their arguments; (ii) constraints on the question under discussion. Due to variation in the type parameter, exclusives exhibit different scopes, leading to different NPI licensing properties. To formalize our analysis, we introduce a dynamic semantics that treats questions under discussion as part of the context and allows for binding into these questions.
