Bob Mould's Workbook
Authors: Biggins Walter , Couch Daniel 
Published: October 2017

In 1989, Bob Mould took a left turn. Already legendary before his 30th birthday for his noise-and-nuance work in Hüsker Dü, Mould had recently walked away from his old band. He re-emerged with his debut solo album: Workbook. Filled with chiming acoustic guitars, multitracked vocals, pristine production, and even a cello, Workbook was both admired and questioned for Mould’s perceived departure from his post-punk roots.
Three decades later, the album has emerged as a key for understanding the nascent alternative rock genre and the concerns Mould would explore for the duration of his career. Fusing post-punk sound and confessional lyrics with a richer emotional and musical range, Mould’s Workbook merged worlds that seemed unbridgeable at the time. Alternative rock emerged from the wreckage of the 1980s, and Workbook was a model for the genre’s maturation.
Workbook serves its title in two ways—as a map for musicians to follow into a new mode, and as a journal of Mould’s struggle toward adulthood. It opens conversations about rock, identity, spirituality, authenticity, and the perils and promises of mainstream culture. Walter Biggins and Daniel Couch, two critics who grew up with Workbook, extend these conversations—through letters and emails to each other, and through correspondence with Mould and Workbook’s musicians and producers. That crosstalk leads to, through this seminal album, a deeper understanding of “alternative rock” at the moment of its inception, just before it took over the radio.
Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs
Authors: Eidelstein Eric 
Published: October 2017

The Suburbs is an incredibly sentimental and nostalgic album, which generally moved critics but was jarring to others. But it also made a heavy impact on fans and – to the surprise of many – won Album of the Year at the 2011 Grammy Awards. This immensely visceral album triggers a sincere celebration of not formative years spent in a cookie-cutter development, but of feeling self-important, immortal, and desperate to escape. It examines youth and amplifies an innate sense of longing and remembrance.
Eric Eidelstein’s The Suburbs explores this weird, utopic recollection of youth by comparing the album to suburban scenes in film and television, such as Blue Velvet, Mad Men, The Americans, and Spike Jonze’s Scenes from the Suburbs. Through the close examination of film and televised depictions of the suburbs, both past and present, Eidelstein delves into the societal factors and artistic depictions that make the suburbs such a fascinating cultural construct, and uncovers why the album creates such a relatable and universal sense of reminiscence.
The Influence of Václav Klaus on Czech Public Opinion Regarding the European Union
Authors: Miller Daniel E. 
Published: October 2017

While president of the Czech Republic between 2003 and 2013, Václav Klaus, an outspoken critic of the European Union, employed speeches, interviews, and writings as a means of discrediting the EU in the eyes of Czech citizens. The author used opinion polls from Eurobarometer and the Public Opinion Research Center (CVVM) of the Czech Academy of Sciences to establish the correlation between Klaus’s popularity and Euroskepticism. In the early years of Klaus’s presidency, scepticism about the EU among Czechs grew, and between 2006 and 2010, there was a strong correlation between Klaus’s popularity and Czech Euroskepticism. As Klaus’s popularity waned during his last years in office, Czech confidence in the EU began to rise. This study not only helps to explain some bases of Czech Euroskepticism, but it also addresses the influence Czech presidents have in shaping public opinion in their country.
“Remember he ain't in his own country and amongst his own folks”: The Exodus of Huckleberry Finn
Authors: Bailey Charles Janes 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has a significant relationship to the Bible's Exodus, demonstrating that Huck's use of metaphor measures his awakening moral consciousness. Indeed, Twain's novel is a metaphoric tale reinforcing the Bible's lesson “love thy neighbor as thyself,” an easy goal, but also “love the stranger as thyself, for thou hast been a stranger,” harder because it requires metaphorical reciprocity and memory. Though usually seen as an odyssey, understanding the novel as an exodus clarifies its moral intent and solves another problem. In the end Huck sells himself and Jim out to Tom. Exodus explains this ending and brings the story full circle. It begins and ends with Moses and Tom, two endangered children in the “bulrushers.” This detail and others suggest Twain's self-conscious reliance on the biblical exodus to sharpen his focus on civilization's moral core.
Of Beginnings and Endings: Huck Finn and Tom Eliot
Authors: Keane Patrick J. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In 1950, the year he wrote his introduction to an edition of Huckleberry Finn, T. S. Eliot, visiting the United States, seemed “more human than in England,” more boyishly “American”: a glimpse of his own “happy and lost” childhood, refracted perhaps through the prism of Huck. Defending the novel's final chapters, Eliot found it artistically “right that the mood at the end … should bring us back to that of the beginning,” even back to “the mood of Tom Sawyer.” But the ouroboric rondure that seemed artistically right to Eliot, a modernist poet wedded to what he called “style and order,” may rationalize a flaw. It seems regrettable that Eliot, with his immense authority circa 1950, should have put his imprimatur on an error—validating Mark Twain's original sin against his own (or Huck's) book, in order (to quote one of Eliot's favorite poets) to have the novel “end where it begunne.”
Advocating Customer and Supplier Portfolios in Supply Chain Research: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda
Authors: Schwieterman Matthew A. , Goldsby Thomas J. , Knemeyer A. Michael 
Published: October 2017

ABSTRACTFirms interact with other parties in their supply chains to access the resources necessary to operate efficiently and effectively. While much of the extant research focuses on dyadic relationships between two firms, another unit of analysis that can be utilized to augment the current research in supply chain management is the portfolio (Tokman et al. 2007). Firms engage in a diverse set of relationships at any given point in time, and these sets of relationships can be conceptualized as portfolios, defined as the set of direct interfirm relationships for the focal firm. Portfolios provide a useful unit of analysis for research because a firm must also have a vision for how to manage its portfolio in support of value creation and appropriation, in addition to understanding how individual relationships provide access to resources and help the organization adapt to the changing environment. In this research, we utilize a systematic literature review to explore supply chain portfolio research from a variety of academic fields. Our findings include multiple themes with conflicting results in the extant literature. We then utilize the findings to motivate directions for future research.
Correspondence between waist-to-height ratio and body mass index in juniors
Authors: Yatsko Andrew 
Published: October 2017

Despite the increase in body mass through childhood and adolescence is countered by the increase in height in the Body Mass Index (BMI), this measure is inadequate for judging the degree of excess weight among the young. Unlike using clearly defined cut points, same for any stage of adulthood, it is required to consult BMI-for-age charts, which can be a demanding exercise when data analysis is involved. The waist circumference to height ratio (WCHR) was hypothesised to be invariant to age change, and this is generally supported by the epidemiological evidence. This paper analyses a sample of NHANES data to find a connection between BMI, WCHR and Age. A strong linearity between the anthropometric measures is demonstrated, thus enabling estimation of WCHR for a given BMI and Age. The pattern of change of this parameter at BMI levels that indicate the transition to overweight state or obesity thus becomes unravelled. The results strongly support the feasibility of a universal WCHR threshold for the overweight state past early childhood and through adolescence, and the estimated one is similar to the WCHR levels found elsewhere in the literature.

Strong Goldbach Number in Goldbach’s Problem
Authors: Zhou Pingyuan 
Published: October 2017

Based on the data we get, nlog n is acceptable approximation to A(Pn) for small Pn ( most of relative errors are on the order of 1%, 1‰ or 0.1‰ for Pn less than 2000 ), where Pn is the n-th prime for n ≥ 2 and A(Pn) = Ln − Pn but Ln is the largest strong Goldbach number generated by Pn. Thus we propose a proposition that A(Pn) ≈ nlog n for all Pn. To give indirect verification of the proposition for large Pn, we obtain an experimental formula for calculating the number of primes not greater than Pn relying on existence of A(Pn). Using the formula, our found relative errors are generally smaller than that arising from x/log x, for example, there is a found relative error to be about 0.00935% for the 382465573492-th prime but the relative error is about 3.45305% by x/log x, 0.16046% by x/((log x) − 1.08366), 0.02479% by x/log x + x/(log x)2 + 2x/(log x)3. If the proposition is proven, then Goldbach’s conjecture is true.
Development and Validation of a Novel Stability-Indicating Reversed-Phase Ion-Pair Chromatographic Method for the Quantitation of Impurities in Marbofloxacin Tablets
Authors: Maheshwari Priyanka , Shukla Neelima , Dare Manish Kumar 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
A stability-indicating isocratic reversed-phase ion-pair chromatographic method was designed for the separation of impurities in the presence of degradation products. Marbofloxacin tablets and a placebo were exposed to the stress conditions of oxidative, acid, base, humidity, thermal, and photolytic degradation. Significant and moderate degradation was observed in acidic and oxidative stress conditions, respectively. The degradation products were well resolved from the main peak and its impurities, thus proving the stability-indicating analytical method. The method was developed by using an XTerra RP18 3.5 μm (150 × 4.6 mm) column, with the mobile phase containing a mixture of buffer (pH 2.5)–methanol–glacial acetic acid (77 + 23 + 0.5, v/v). The flow rate of the mobile phase was 1.2 mL/min, with a column oven temperature of 40°C and a detection wavelength of 315 nm. The proposed method met Veterinary International Conference on Harmonization requirements and was successfully used for impurity quantitation in marbofloxacin tablets.
Frailty Phenotype and Neuropsychological Test Performance: A Preliminary Analysis
Authors: Ginsberg Terrie B. , Powell Leonard , Patel Arif , Emrani Sheina , Chopra Anita , Cavalieri Thomas , Libon David J. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract

Context
Frailty is a common problem that affects adults older than 65 years. Correlations between the frailty phenotype and neuropsychological impairment have not been thoroughly researched.

Objective
To examine the association between frailty phenotype, neuropsychological screening test results, and neuropsychological domains known to characterize patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

Methods
This retrospective medical record analysis consisted of ambulatory patients aged 65 years or older seen in an outpatient geriatric practice. All patients were assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). A portion of those patients also underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation that assessed executive control, naming/lexical access, and declarative memory expressed as 3 neuropsychological index scores. Frailty phenotype was determined using criteria by Fried et al.

Results
Simple correlation found that lower MoCA test scores were associated with a higher level of frailty (r=−0.34, P<.032). Regression analyses found that greater frailty was associated with worse performance on tests that assessed executive control and working memory (backward digit span; r
2=0.267; β=−0.517; P<.011) and delayed recognition memory (r
2=0.207; β=−0.455; P<.025).

Conclusion
A correlation was found between frailty and neuropsychological impairment, which suggests that frailty may be a potential indicator for the emergence of mild cognitive impairment and dementia.
What Determines Water Temperature Dynamics in the San Francisco Bay‐Delta System?
Authors: Vroom J. , van der Wegen M. , Martyr‐Koller R. C. , Lucas L. V. 
Published: October 2017

AbstractWater temperature is an important factor determining estuarine species habitat conditions. Water temperature is mainly governed by advection (e.g., from rivers) and atmospheric exchange processes varying strongly over time (day‐night, seasonally) and the spatial domain. On a long time scale, climate change will impact water temperature in estuarine systems due to changes in river flow regimes, air temperature, and sea level rise. To determine which factors govern estuarine water temperature and its sensitivity to changes in its forcing, we developed a process‐based numerical model (Delft3D Flexible Mesh) and applied it to a well‐monitored estuarine system (the San Francisco Estuary) for validation. The process‐based approach allows for detailed process description and a physics‐based analysis of governing processes. The model was calibrated for water year 2011 and incorporated 3‐D hydrodynamics, salinity intrusion, water temperature dynamics, and atmospheric coupling. Results show significant skill in reproducing temperature observations on daily, seasonal, and yearly time scales. In North San Francisco Bay, thermal stratification is present, enhanced by salinity stratification. The temperature of the upstream, fresh water Delta area is captured well in 2‐D mode, although locally—on a small scale—vertical processes (e.g., stratification) may be important. The impact of upstream river temperature and discharge and atmospheric forcing on water temperatures differs throughout the Delta, possibly depending on dispersion and residence times. Our modeling effort provides a sound basis for future modeling studies including climate change impact on water temperature and associated ecological modeling, e.g., clam and fish habitat and phytoplankton dynamics.
Mesoscale Eddies Control the Timing of Spring Phytoplankton Blooms: A Case Study in the Japan Sea

Published: October 2017

AbstractSatellite Chlorophyll a (CHL) data were used to investigate the influence of mesoscale anticyclonic eddies (AEs) and cyclonic eddies (CEs) on the timing of spring phytoplankton bloom initiation around the Yamato Basin (133–139°E and 35–39.5°N) in the Japan Sea, for the period 2002–2011. The results showed significant differences between AEs and CEs in the timing and initiation mechanism of the spring phytoplankton bloom. Blooms were initiated earlier in CEs which were characterized by shallow mixed‐layer depths (< 100 m). The early blooming preceded the end of winter cooling (i.e., while net heat flux (Q0) is still negative) and is initiated by the increased average light within the shallow mixed‐layer depth. Conversely, blooms appeared in the AEs despite deeper mixed‐layer depth (> 100 m) but close to the commencement of positive Q0. This suggests that the relaxation of turbulent mixing is crucial for the bloom initiation in AEs.
Subduction Initiation With Vertical Lithospheric Heterogeneities and New Fault Formation
Authors: Mao Xiaolin , Gurnis Michael , May Dave A. 
Published: October 2017

AbstractHow subduction initiates with mechanically unfavorable lithospheric heterogeneities is important and rarely studied. We investigate this with a geodynamic model for the Puysegur Incipient Subduction Zone (PISZ) south of New Zealand. The model incorporates a true free surface, elasto‐visco‐plastic rheology and phase changes. Our predictions fit the morphology of the Puysegur Trench and Ridge and the deformation history on the overriding plate. We show how a new thrust fault forms and evolves into a smooth subduction interface, and how a preexisting weak zone can become a vertical fault inboard of the thrust fault during subduction initiation, consistent with two‐fault system at PISZ. The model suggests that the PISZ may not yet be self‐sustaining. We propose that the Snares Zone (or Snares Trough) is caused by plate coupling differences between shallower and deeper parts, the tectonic sliver between two faults experiences strong rotation, and low‐density material accumulates beneath the Snares Zone.
Feedback of Atmosphere‐Ocean Coupling on Shifts of the Intertropical Convergence Zone
Authors: Schneider Tapio 
Published: October 2017

AbstractIt is well known that the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) shifts in response to remote perturbations in the atmospheric energy balance, with shifts roughly in proportion to changes in the cross‐equatorial atmospheric energy flux. However, atmospheric and oceanic energy fluxes in low latitudes are mechanically coupled, and the oceanic energy flux dominates the atmospheric energy flux. Here a quantitative framework is derived that shows how Ekman coupling of atmospheric and oceanic energy fluxes damps the perturbation response of the atmospheric energy flux, energy flux equator (EFE), and ITCZ. To first order, Ekman coupling alone mutes the response of EFE and ITCZ in the coupled atmosphere‐ocean system by a factor γ = 1+O0/NEI0, where O0 is the ocean energy uptake and NEI0 is the net energy input into the atmosphere at the equator. In the current climate in the zonal and annual mean, this factor is about γ≈3.
Orbital Signals in Carbon Isotopes: Phase Distortion as a Signature of the Carbon Cycle
Authors: Laurin Jiří , Růžek Bohuslav , Giorgioni Martino 
Published: October 2017

AbstractIsotopic mass balance models are employed here to study the response of carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of the ocean‐atmosphere system to amplitude‐modulated perturbations on Milankovitch time scales. We identify a systematic phase distortion, which is inherent to a leakage of power from the carrier precessional signal to the modulating eccentricity terms in the global carbon cycle. The origin is partly analogous to the simple cumulative effect in sinusoidal signals, reflecting the residence time of carbon in the ocean‐atmosphere reservoir. The details of origin and practical implications are, however, different. In amplitude‐modulated signals, the deformation is manifested as a lag of the 405 kyr eccentricity cycle behind amplitude modulation (AM) of the short (~100 kyr) eccentricity cycle. Importantly, the phase of AM remains stable during the carbon cycle transfer, thus providing a reference framework against which to evaluate distortion of the 405 kyr term. The phase relationships can help to (1) identify depositional and diagenetic signatures in δ13C and (2) interpret the pathways of astronomical signal through the climate system. The approach is illustrated by case studies of Albian and Oligocene records using a new computational tool EPNOSE (Evaluation of Phase in uNcertain and nOisy SEries). Analogous phase distortions occur in other components of the carbon cycle including atmospheric CO2 levels; hence, to fully understand the causal relationships on astronomical time scales, paleoclimate models may need to incorporate realistic, amplitude‐modulated insolation instead of monochromatic sinusoidal approximations. Finally, detection of the lagged δ13C response can help to reduce uncertainties in astrochronological age models that are tuned to the 405 kyr cycle.
On MIMO‐UFMC in the Presence of Phase Noise and Antenna Mutual Coupling
Authors: Chen Xiaoming , Zhang Shuai , Zhang Anxue 
Published: October 2017

AbstractThe universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC) technique has been proposed as a waveform candidate for the fifth generation (5G) communications and beyond 5G. Compared with conventional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), UFMC has lower out‐of‐band emission and is also compatible with the multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) technique. However, like other multicarrier waveforms, it suffers from phase noise of imperfect oscillator. In contrast to the rich literature on phase noise effect on MIMO‐OFDM (where the antenna mutual coupling effect is usually omitted though), there is little work investigating the phase noise effect on MIMO‐UFMC. In this paper, we study the MIMO‐UFMC systems in the presence of phase noise and with/without mutual coupling effect. A phase noise mitigation scheme for MIMO‐UFMC systems is presented. The scheme does not require detailed knowledge of the phase noise statistics and can effectively mitigate the phase noise within each UFMC symbol. Moreover, it is shown that at small antenna separations, the performance of the MIMO‐UFMC system taking the mutual coupling effect into account is better than that when the mutual coupling effect is overlooked.
