The `Freynshe booke' and the English Translator: Malory's `Originality' Revisited
Authors: Davidson Roberta
Published: September 2008

Recent criticism has reflected the assumption that there is an identifiable,`typical' translator in fifteenth-century England, and that a comparison between Malory's translation practices in Morte Darthur and that norm reveal him falling outside of it. However, the differentiations between reader and writer, translator and redactor, which appear self-evident to contemporary readers, may have been indistinct, if not invisible, to Malory himself. This article suggests a way in which Malory might justifiably have perceived his relationship to `the Freynshe booke' as that of a faithful transmitter of a translated `text.'

Published: September 2008

The convenient and regioselective deuteration of hydroxy groups on vicinal carbons was achieved by the combination of 5% ruthenium on carbon (Ru/C), hydrogen gas and deuterium oxide (D2O).
Polylactide‐recycled wood fiber composites
Authors: Pilla Srikanth , Gong Shaoqin , O'Neill Eric , Yang Liqiang , Rowell Roger M.
Published: September 2008

Polylactide (PLA)‐recycled wood fiber (RWF) composites with a small amount of silane were compounded using a kinetic‐mixer and molded using an injection molding machine. The molded PLA‐RWF composites were characterized using gel permeation chromatography, scanning electron microscope, X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, tensile testing machine, and a dynamic mechanical analyzer. As observed in the stress–strain plots, the amount of necking before fracture decreased with an increasing RWF content. Similarly, the strain‐at‐break also decreased with the RWF content. The tensile strength remained the same irrespective of the RWF content. Both the tensile modulus and the storage modulus of the PLA‐RWF composites increased with the RWF content. The degree of crystallinity of the PLA increased with the addition of RWF. No reduction in the number–average molecular weight (Mn) was observed for pure PLA and PLA‐10%RWF‐0.5%Silane composites after injection molding; however, substantial reduction in Mn was found in PLA‐20%RWF‐0.5%Silane composites. Finally, a theoretical model based on Halpin–Tsai empirical relations is presented to compare the theoretical results with that of the experimental results. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and evaluation of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) microspheres containing bovine serum albumin for controlled release
Authors: Zhao Yong‐Liang , Tian Feng , Liu Chang‐Jun , Li Fan , Xing Nan
Published: September 2008

The utility of the Poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) to encapsulate and control the release of bovine serum albumin (BSA), via microspheres, was investigated. Various preparing parameters, including polymer concentration in oil phase, emulsification concentration in external water phase, volume ratio of inner water phase to oil phase, and volume ratio of primary emulsion to external water phase were altered during the microspheres production. The effects of these changes on the morphological characteristics of the microspheres, size of the microspheres, drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, and drug release rates were examined. The diameter of the microspheres ranged from 6.9 to 20.3 μm and showed different degrees of porous structure depending on the different preparation parameters. The maximum and minimum BSA encapsulation efficiency within the polymeric microspheres were 69.8 and 7.5%, respectively, varying with preparation conditions. The controlled release characteristics of the microspheres for BSA were investigated in pH 7.4 media. The initial BSA burst release from 8.9 to 63.1% followed by constant slow release for 28 days was observed for BSA from BSA‐loaded microspheres and followed the Higuchi matrix model. So, the release behavior of microspheres showed the feasibility of BSA‐loaded microspheres as controlled release devices. Pristine BSA, pristine PHB microspheres, and BSA‐loaded microspheres were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, which indicated no interaction between BSA and PHB. Differential scanning calorimetry on BSA‐loaded microspheres indicated a molecular level dispersion of BSA in the microspheres. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
Morphology and crystallization behavior of the PP/PET nanocomposites
Authors: Calcagno Carmen I. W. , Mariani Cleide M. , Teixeira Sérgio R. , Mauler Raquel S.
Published: September 2008

Nanocomposites containing polypropylene (PP), PET, and montmorillonite were prepared in a twin‐screw extruder. X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, polarized optical microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry were used to characterize the samples. Intercalated and exfoliated morphology were observed in the nanocomposites. The PET domains usually presented spherical shapes and they were the start point to PP crystallization. The average diameter and number of PET domains was evaluated. The influence of addition of PP‐MA as compatibilizer on PP/PET was investigated. The interconnected morphology was observed in the nanocomposite containing PP‐MA. The clay located predominantly in the interphase and in the PET phase. The crystallization process was monitored and the PET crystallization rate was slower in the nanocomposites. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
Methyl acrylate/1‐octene copolymers: Lewis acid‐mediated polymerization
Authors: Kaur Sukhdeep , Singh Gurmeet , Kothari Ajay V. , Gupta Virendra K.
Published: September 2008

Copolymerization of methyl acrylate (MA) with 1‐octene (1‐Oct) was conducted in the presence of free radical initiator, 2,2′‐azobis(2‐methylpropionitrile) (AIBN) using heterogeneous Lewis acid, acidic alumina. The polymers obtained were transparent and highly viscous liquids. The copolymer composition calculated from 1H NMR showed alkene incorporation in the range of 10–61%. The monomodal nature of chromatographic curves corresponding to the molecular weight distribution in gel permeation chromatography (GPC) further confirmed that the polymers obtained are true copolymers. The number–average molecular weights (Mn) of the copolymers were in the range of 1.1 × 104–1.6 × 104 with polydispersity index of 1.75–2.29. The effects of varying the acidic alumina amount, time of polymerization, and monomer infeed on the incorporation of 1‐Oct in the polymer chain were studied. Increased 1‐Oct infeed led to its higher inclusion in the copolymer chain as elucidated by NMR. DEPT‐135 NMR spectral analysis was used to explicate the nature of arrangement of monomer sequences in the copolymer chain. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
Computational methods in authorship attribution
Authors: Koppel Moshe , Schler Jonathan , Argamon Shlomo
Published: September 2008

Statistical authorship attribution has a long history, culminating in the use of modern machine learning classification methods. Nevertheless, most of this work suffers from the limitation of assuming a small closed set of candidate authors and essentially unlimited training text for each. Real‐life authorship attribution problems, however, typically fall short of this ideal. Thus, following detailed discussion of previous work, three scenarios are considered here for which solutions to the basic attribution problem are inadequate. In the first variant, theprofilingproblem, there is no candidate set at all; in this case, the challenge is to provide as much demographic or psychological information as possible about the author. In the second variant, theneedle‐in‐a‐haystackproblem, there are many thousands of candidates for each of whom we might have a very limited writing sample. In the third variant, theverificationproblem, there is no closed candidate set but there is one suspect; in this case, the challenge is to determine if the suspect is or is not the author. For each variant, it is shown how machine learning methods can be adapted to handle the special challenges of that variant.
Problem‐solving environment for line balancing automated manufacturing systems
Authors: Hsieh Sheng‐Jen (“Tony”)
Published: September 2008

A web‐based problem‐solving environment designed to teach assembly line balancing was developed based on analytic and simulation models. This environment was evaluated by 67 undergraduate students. Differences between pre‐ and post‐test scores were significant (α = 0.05) and students felt that the system helped them to visualize line balancing concepts. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Spin‐Label EPR on α‐Synuclein Reveals Differences in the Membrane Binding Affinity of the Two Antiparallel Helices
Authors: Drescher Malte , Godschalk Frans , Veldhuis Gertjan , van Rooijen Bart D. , Subramaniam Vinod , Huber Martina
Published: September 2008

The putative function of the Parkinson's disease‐related protein α‐Synuclein (αS) is thought to involve membrane binding. Therefore, the interaction of αS with membranes composed of zwitterionic (POPC) and anionic (POPG) lipids was investigated through the mobility of spin labels attached to the protein. Differently labelled variants of αS were produced, containing a spin label at positions 9, 18 (both helix 1), 69, 90 (both helix 2), and 140 (C terminus). Protein binding to POPC/POPG vesicles for all but αS140 resulted in two mobility components with correlation times of 0.5 and 3 ns, for POPG mole fractions >0.4. Monitoring these components as a function of the POPG mole fraction revealed that at low negative‐charge densities helix 1 is more tightly bound than helix 2; this indicates a partially bound form of αS. Thus, the interaction of αS with membranes of low charge densities might be initiated at helix 1. The local binding information thus obtained gives a more differentiated picture of the affinity of αS to membranes. These findings contribute to our understanding of the details and structural consequences of αS–membrane interactions.

Circular Dichroism Study of the Mechanism of Formation of DNA Templated Nanowires
Authors: Jaganathan Hamsa , Kinsella Joseph M. , Ivanisevic Albena
Published: September 2008

In order to control the fabrication method, the mechanism used in the formation of DNA templated nanowires is investigated through circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Metallic (Au) and magnetic (Fe2O3 and CoFe2O4) nanoparticles (NP) are aligned along the DNA strand at various mass ratios. The DNA templated nanowires are compared to the structure of B‐form dsDNA through CD experiments. Absorbance and thermal melting tests are performed to verify the structural changes of DNA templated nanowires. Low concentrations of nanoparticles preserve the DNA B‐form through electrostatic interactions. Conversely, at higher concentrations of nanoparticles aligned along the DNA strand, the template is denatured. Information on the mode of nanoparticle binding and DNA helix alterations are explored for metallic and magnetic nanowires based upon the results.
Xenoturbellida: The fourth deuterostome phylum and the diet of worms
Authors: Telford Maximilian J.
Published: September 2008

Since the discovery of the marine worm Xenoturbella bocki in 1915 by Sixten Bock and its first published description by Einar Westblad (Westblad,1949, Arkiv Zoologi 1:3–29), Xenoturbella was generally allied to the turbellarian flatworms, perhaps most closely to acoelomorphs. In 1997, however, analyses of ribosomal DNA (Norén and Jondelius, 1997, Nature 390:31–32) and developing oocytes (Israelsson, 1997, Nature 390:32) [and, subsequently, embryos (Israelsson, 1999, Proc R Soc Lond B 266:835–841)] recovered from Xenoturbella specimens led to the surprising conclusion that it was in fact a highly degenerate bivalve mollusc. Bourlat et al. showed in 2003 that this result was due to contamination from bivalves in its diet (Bourlat et al.,2003, Nature 424:925–928). Our analyses showed Xenoturbella is a deuterostome, related to the Ambulacraria (echinoderms and hemichordates). Subsequent work has shown that Xenoturbellida is a separate lineage from the Ambulacraria and therefore constitutes the fourth deuterostome phylum (Bourlat et al.,2006, Nature 444:85–88). I consider this phylogenetic position in the light of what is known of its genetics, morphology, and ontogeny. I examine what this phylogenetic position for Xenoturbella can tell us about its own evolution and what light this might shine on the common ancestor of the deuterostomes and hence on the origins of the chordates. genesis 46:580–586, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Dyslexic participants show intact spontaneous categorization processes
Authors: Nikolopoulos Dimitris S. , Pothos Emmanuel M.
Published: September 2008

We examine the performance of dyslexic participants on an unsupervised categorization task against that of matched non‐dyslexic control participants. Unsupervised categorization is a cognitive process critical for conceptual development. Existing research in dyslexia has emphasized perceptual tasks and supervised categorization tasks (for which intact attentional processes are paramount), but there have been no studies on unsupervised categorization. Our investigation was based on Pothos and Chater's (Cognit. Sci., 2002; 26: 303–343) model of unsupervised categorization and the corresponding methodology for analysing results. Across all performance indices and various data‐processing options, we could identify no difference between dyslexic and non‐dyslexic participants. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
An Electrochemical Aptasensor for Detection of Thrombin based on Target Protein‐induced Strand Displacement
Authors: Fan Hao , Chang Zhu , Xing Rong , Chen Miao , Wang Qingjiang , He Pingang , Fang Yuzhi
Published: September 2008

A sensitive electrochemical aptasensor for detection of thrombin based on target protein‐induced strand displacement is presented. For this proposed aptasensor, dsDNA which was prepared by the hybridization reaction of the immobilized probe ssDNA (IP) containing thiol group and thrombin aptamer base sequence was initially immobilized on the Au electrode by self‐assembling via AuS bind, and a single DNA labeled with CdS nanoparticles (DP‐CdS) was used as a detection probe. When the so prepared dsDNA modified Au electrode was immersed into a solution containing target protein and DP‐CdS, the aptamer in the dsDNA preferred to form G‐quarter structure with the present target protein resulting that the dsDNA sequence released one single strand and returned to IP strand which consequently hybridized with DP‐CdS. After dissolving the captured CdS particles from the electrode, a mercury‐film electrode was used for electrochemical detection of these Cd2+ ions which offered sensitive electrochemical signal transduction. The peak current of Cd2+ ions had a good linear relationship with the thrombin concentration in the range of 2.3×10−9–2.3×10−12 mol/L and the detection limit was 4.3×10−13 mol/L of thrombin. The detection was also specific for thrombin without being affected by the coexistence of other proteins, such as BSA and lysozyme.
Electrochemistry and Electrocatalysis of Hemoglobin on 1‐Pyrenebutanoic Acid Succinimidyl Ester/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube and Au Nanoparticle Modified Electrode

Published: September 2008

A biocompatible nanocomposite film was fabricated for hemoglobin (Hb) molecules immobilization. This film consists of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), 1‐pyrenebutanoic acid, succinimidyl ester (PASE), hemoglobin (Hb) and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). Herein, PASE molecules physically adsorbed onto MWNTs, and its groups then covalently bond with Hb. AuNPs were then linked with Hb/PASE/MWNTs via electrostatic adsorption force. UV‐visible adsorption spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectra, scanning electron microscope and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have characterized the film. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) scans showed that in the film Hb has well‐defined redox reaction, with the formal potential (E°) at about −0.27 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Herein, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was employed to electrochemically detect the Hb in the film with a detection limit of 9.3×10−8M. The proposed method was also succeeded for Hb detection in clinical blood samples. Furthermore, the Hb in the film showed good electrocatalytic activities to the reduction of H2O2, TCA, NaNO2and O2.
Comparison of calibration methods for the reconstruction of space‐time rainfall fields during a rain enhancement experiment in Southern Italy
Authors: Orasi Arianna , Lasinio G. Jona , Ferrari Clarissa
Published: September 2008

The role of rainfall raingauge observations in calibration of radar derived rainfall estimates is investigated. The final goal is the reconstruction of the rainfall fields over the observed area using both information during a rainfall enhancement experiment. Furthermore, we propose a simple protocol to assess the experiment efficacy. A space‐time approach and the use of kriging with external drift are applied and compared. Results are again compared with those one obtained through an ordinary kriging (OK).

Data come from a dense raingauge network and a weather radar installed in 1992 for the evaluation of a rain enhancement experiment carried out in Southern Italy. In this paper we report detailed results from one seeding operation carried out on 11 April 1992. The procedure to assess the efficacy of rain enhancement experiment is illustrated for 11 seeding operations. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Intravascular large B‐cell lymphoma with FDG accumulation in the lung lacking CT/67gallium scintigraphy abnormality

Published: September 2008

Intravascular large B‐cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare lymphoma characterized by the presence of large tumour cells within the blood vessels. It has been considered that IVLBCL is a highly malignant disease with poor prognosis. However, it has been shown that a therapeutic effect resembling that of conventional B‐cell lymphomas may be obtained with the application of systemic chemotherapy at the early stage of this disease. Although involvement in the lung is often detected at autopsy, early diagnosis is quite difficult. In this report, we present a case of IVLBCL with pulmonary involvement where 18‐fluoro‐deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) was useful in the early diagnosis. Neither computed tomography (CT) nor 67gallium scintigraphy could reveal the presence of disease in the lung. Histological evidence of IVLBCL was obtained by TBLB after FDG uptake in the lung was confirmed by FDG‐PET. The patient exhibited a good response to the subsequent combination chemotherapy. We propose that FDG‐PET is a powerful tool for the early diagnosis of IVLBCL with pulmonary involvement, if the possibility of this disease presents in the patient with respiratory symptoms without abnormal findings by CT and 67gallium scintigraphy.
