Anxiety, depression, psychotropic drug use and
cognitive impairment
Authors: PATERNITI S. , DUFOUIL C. , BISSERBE J.-C. , ALPÉROVITCH A. 
Published: July 2002

Background. Numerous studies have shown that anxiety and
depression are related to cognitive
impairment, but the concomitant association between anxious symptoms, depressive
symptoms and
cognitive function has not been investigated, and, most studies have not
considered psychotropic
drug use as a possible confounding factor.Methods. We assessed the independent association between depression,
anxiety, psychotropic drug
use and cognitive performance in 457 men and 659 women, aged 59–71
years living in the
community. Data on demographic background, occupation, medical history,
drug use and personal
habits were obtained using a standardized questionnaire. The Spielberger
Inventory Trait and the
Center for Epidemiologic Study-Depression (CES-D) scales were used to evaluate
anxious and
depressive symptomatology respectively. Cognitive assessment included six
traditional tests
covering the main areas of cognitive functioning.Results. In men, anxious and depressive symptomatologies had
independent significant associations
with most cognitive abilities, independent of psychotropic drug use. In
women, the association
between anxiety or depression and cognitive functioning was less strong
and disappeared after
adjustment for psychotropic drug use. Psychotropic drug use was associated
with lower cognitive
scores in both sexes. In men with high CES-D scores, we found positive
correlations between
anxiety level and cognitive scores.Conclusions. The study showed that anxiety, depression and
psychotropic drug use were significantly
and independently associated with cognitive functioning in elderly men.
The high prevalence of
psychotropic drug use in women with or without psychological disorders
may explain its major
effect in women. Results suggested that anxiety may partly compensate for
some negative
effects of depression on cognitive functioning.
Genetic and environmental influences on juvenile antisocial behaviour assessed on two occasions
Authors: JACOBSON K. C. , PRESCOTT C. A. , KENDLER K. S. 
Published: July 2002

Background. There is conflicting evidence concerning the magnitude of genetic and shared
environmental influences on juvenile antisocial behaviour (AB). The use of more than one
assessment of AB may yield more accurate estimates of these influences.Methods. Retrospective reports of antisocial behaviour prior to age 18 were obtained on two
occasions from a population-based sample of 3522 adult males from male–male twin pairs: phone
interviews (wave 1) and self-report questionnaires obtained 19 months later (wave 2). Structural
equation modelling estimated the genetic and environmental influences on reliably-measured AB.
Factors related to participation of co-twin at wave 1, attrition between waves 1 and 2, and reliability
of wave 1 and wave 2 assessments were also investigated.Results. Twin analyses revealed that genetic, shared environmental, and non-shared environmental
influences accounted for approximately 33% (95% CI = 9–57%), 31% (95% CI = 10–51%) and
36% (95% CI = 29–44%) of the variance of reliably measured AB, respectively. We also found
significant occasion-specific genetic influences on wave 1 AB. Wave 1 AB did not predict wave 1
participation of co-twin or attrition, but was related to reliability. Co-twins of MZ twins and
younger twins were more likely to participate at wave 1; attrition was predicted by being a DZ twin,
lack of initial participation of co-twin, fewer years of education, and fewer children. Being older,
being unmarried, and having less psychopathology were associated with greater reliability.Conclusions. When measurement error is taken into account, both genetic and shared
environmental factors are significant influences on juvenile AB, accounting for approximately one-
third of variation. The origin of the specific genetic influences on wave 1 AB is unclear, but may be
due to factors related to measurement.
Each distinct type of mental state is supported by specific brain functions
Authors: Gottesmann Claude 
Published: July 2002

Reflective waking mentation is supported by cortical activating and inhibitory processes. The thought-like mental content of slow wave sleep appears with lower levels of both kinds of influence. During REM sleep, the equation: activation + disinhibition + dopamine may explain the often psychotic-like mode of psychological functioning.[Hobson et al.; Nielsen; Revonsuo; Solms; Vertes & Eastman]
Limit at resonances of linearizations of some complex analytic dynamical systems
Authors: BERRETTI ALBERTO , MARMI STEFANO , SAUZIN DAVID 
Published: July 2002

We consider the behaviour near resonances of linearizations of germs of holomorphic diffeomorphisms of $({\Bbb C},0)$ and of the semi-standard map.We prove that for each resonance there exists a suitable blow-up of the Taylor series of the linearization under which it converges uniformly to an analytic function as the multiplier, or rotation number, tends non-tangentially to the resonance. This limit function is explicitly computed and related to questions of formal classification, both for the case of germs and for the case of the semi-standard map.
Problème de l'entropie minimale pour les métriques de Finsler
Authors: VEROVIC PATRICK 
Published: July 2002

Sur tout espace riemannien compact, localement symétrique de type non compact et de rang au moins égal à deux, nous construisons explicitement une métrique de Finsler donnant à l'espace le même volume que la métrique localement symétrique mais dont l'entropie volumique est strictement inférieure à l'entropie volumique de cette dernière. De plus, cette métrique de Finsler est l'unique minimum de l'entropie volumique parmi les métriques de Finsler $G$-invariantes normalisées par le volume de la variété.D'autre part, concernant le rang un, nous prouvons que les métriques hyperboliques réelles sont des points critiques de l'entropie topologique parmi les métriques de Finsler sur une variété compacte, et ce, en normalisant aussi bien par le volume de la variété en dimension quelconque que par le volume de Liouville des fibrés unitaires en dimension deux.
Mixed messages: unsettled cosmopolitanisms in Nepali pop
Authors: GREENE PAUL 
Published: July 2002

This is an age of jazz. This is an age of having long, tangled hair, and of [young men] wearing an earring, and of wearing caps backwards [with the visor in the back]. And it is also a period of rap. Some raps are known as bhattirap and some are known as party rap. And some are meaningless raps. But at this moment it is a time of deuseerap. Deuseerap!!Opening rap in ‘Deusee rey extended mix’ by Brazesh Khanal(translated from Nepali; underlined words are sung in English)Throughout Asia, the English word ‘mix’ (or variant thereof) is being used today to characterise a new mode of musical borrowing and syncretism distinctive of several pop musics that have emerged in the 1990s. Earlier modes of pop music borrowing typically involve timbral, rhythmic and melodic adaptations of both indigenous and foreign materials, in which contrasts between different musical elements are smoothed over so that they can be integrated into unified musical expressions. In contrast, the new ‘mix’ music of India (Greene 2000, pp. 545–6), Nepal (Greene 1999A; Henderson 1999), Japan (Condry 1999), Indonesia (Wallach 1999) and South Asian diasporic communities (Manuel 1995) employs the latest sound studio technologies in order to reproduce more precisely than ever before the precise timbres, rhythms and tunings of sound bites of both foreign pop and indigenous music. Yet as these foreign and indigenous sounds are coming more sharply into focus in Asian soundscapes, their meanings and histories seem to be going out of focus. For one thing, a ‘mix’ commonly takes the form of a sonic montage: abruptly juxtaposed musical styles heard in rapid succession that
project only a weak sense of overarching form. In this ‘mix’ configuration, foreign and indigenous sounds sometimes present themselves as inscrutable sound bites – snippets detached from their original musical and cultural contexts. Mixes typically celebrate sonic contrasts, rather than attempt to reach or move the listener within any single musical idiom. Moreover, foreign sounds travel to Asia so quickly through radio, music television, recordings and the Internet, that they are detached from their histories and original cultural contexts, and often present themselves as suggestive, intriguing, but underdetermined cultural indexes. This point is taken up below in an analysis of Nepali heavy metal, one of the elements in the mix. Both Western pop and indigenous sounds become perspectival constructs, taking on a range of meanings and affective forces in different listener experiences. Mix music embodies new, understudied and essentially postmodern musical aesthetics (in the sense of Manuel 1995) that have taken root in Asian and other world communities.
Revisiting the wreck: PJ Harvey's Dry and the drowned virgin-whore
Authors: Mazullo Mark 
Published: July 2002

This is the placeAnd I am here, the mermaid whose dark hairstreams black, the merman in his armoured bodyWe circle silentlyabout the wreckwe dive into the holdI am she: I am he ...(‘Diving into the Wreck’: Rich 1973, p. 24)Were Adrienne Rich to dive again today into the wreck – of history, of collective memory, of identity – she might be surprised to find Polly Jean Harvey already there, feasting in the depths on plots and symbols, greedily stuffing her storytelling sack. Like Rich, with her dual-sexed narrator (‘I am she: I am he’), Harvey enjoys playing at multiple selves, and in doing so, she tells stories that are fuelled equally by the fires of female and male, hetero- and homosexual desire. In the final stanza of her celebrated poem, Rich creates another memorable conundrum of syntax: ‘We are, I
am, you are/by cowardice or courage/the one who find our way/back to this scene’ (Rich 1973, p. 24). With her
suggestive pronoun games, Rich calls for a uniting of forces in the excavation of a troubled past. This seems to be
Harvey's conviction as well. Hers is a musical dramatic stage upon which multiple characters, in combined voices and disparate musical styles, act out disorienting and sometimes disturbing tales of identity, sexuality and power.
Noetherian Banach Jordan pairs
Authors: BOUDI N. , MARHNINE H. , ZARHOUTI C. , FERNANDEZ LOPEZ A. , GARCIA RUS E. 
Published: July 2002

An associative or alternative algebra A is Noetherian if it satisfies the ascending
chain condition on left ideals. Sinclair and Tullo [21] showed that a complex
Noetherian Banach associative algebra is finite dimensional. This result was extended
by Benslimane and Boudi [5] to the alternative case.For a Jordan algebra J or a Jordan pair V, the suitable Noetherian condition is the
ascending chain condition on inner ideals. In a recent work Benslimane and Boudi
[6] proved that a complex Noetherian Banach Jordan algebra is finite dimensional.Here we show the following results:(i) the Jacobson radical of a Noetherian Banach Jordan pair is finite dimensional;(ii) nondegenerate Noetherian Banach Jordan pairs have finite capacity;(iii) complex Noetherian Banach Jordan pairs are finite dimensional.
A structure theorem on compact groups
Authors: HOFMANN KARL H. , MORRIS SIDNEY A. 
Published: July 2002

We prove a new structure theorem which we call the Countable Layer Theorem.
It says that for any compact group G we can construct a countable descending sequence
G = Ω0(G) ⊇ … ⊇ Ωn(G) …
of closed characteristic subgroups of G with two important properties, namely, that their intersection
∩∞n=1 Ωn(G) is
Z0(G0), the
identity component of the center of the identity component G0 of G, and that each
quotient group Ωn−1(G)/Ωn(G),
is a cartesian product of compact simple groups
(that is, compact groups having no normal subgroups other than the singleton and
the whole group).In the special case that G is totally disconnected (that is, profinite) the intersection
of the sequence is trivial. Thus, even in the case that G is profinite, our theorem
sharpens a theorem of Varopoulos [8], who showed in 1964 that each profinite group
contains a descending sequence of closed subgroups, each normal in the preceding
one, such that each quotient group is a product of finite simple groups. Our construction
is functorial in a sense we will make clear in Section 1.
Diet of the maned wolf, Chrysocyon brachyurus (Mammalia: Canidae), during wet and dry seasons at Ibitipoca State Park, Brazil
Authors: Aragona M. , Setz E. Z. F. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractAnalysis of 141 scats of maned wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus collected in a region of upland forest and meadows of south‐eastern Brazil yielded 351 food items in the wet season (60 scats) and 407 in the dry season (81 scats). Scarabaeidae and rodents were the most frequent animal food in both seasons, complemented by birds in the wet season and unidentified mammals in the dry season. Seeds revealed Solanum lycocarpum to be the most frequent plant food in the dry season and an Annonaceae and a Cactaceae the most frequent in the wet season. A total of 33 seed morphospecies were retrieved. Although our results reveal some shared and some divergent trends from dietary studies undertaken in savanna (‘cerrado’) areas, we found a very high frequency of potentially harmful tourists' garbage. This highlights the necessity for better environmental education and confirms that the maned wolf is a generalist and opportunist omnivore.
Introduction
Authors: BARR M. , SCOTT P. J. , SEELY R. A. G. 
Published: July 2002

On December 5, 1997, a small conference was held at McGill on the occasion of Jim
Lambek's 75th birthday. Subsequently it was decided to publish two volumes of papers
contributed in his honour to mark this occasion: this issue of Mathematical Structures in
Computer Science is one of the volumes; the other is Volume 6 of the journal Theory and
Applications of Categories. At the December 1997 conference, a brief biographical essay
was presented by Michael Barr and appears in the TAC volume. However, we wish to
make some further remarks here.Jim completed his Ph.D. at McGill under Hans Zassenhaus in 1950, and has remained
at McGill since then. But it is of interest to note that Jim wrote two theses: the second
involved biquaternions in mathematical physics, and so foreshadows a significant feature
of his career: Jim has consistently shown a remarkable range of interests, from physics to
linguistics, from algebra to logic, from the history and philosophy of mathematics to the
theory of computing science (although he never touches a computer, to this day!). Let us
just review a small sample of his more than 100 published papers.
One, Two and Three Times log n/n for Paths in a
Complete Graph with Random Weights
Authors: JANSON SVANTE 
Published: July 2002

Consider the minimal weights of paths between two points in a complete graph
Kn with
random weights on the edges, the weights being, for instance, uniformly distributed. It is
shown that, asymptotically, this is log n/n for two given points,
that the maximum if one point is fixed and the other varies is 2 log n/n,
and that the maximum over all pairs of points is 3 log n/n.Some further related results are given as well, including results on asymptotic
distributions and moments, and on the number of edges in the minimal weight paths.
Air and road surface temperature variations during weather change
Authors: Postgård U , Lindqvist S 
Published: July 2002

AbstractIn this study, thermal mapping along the road and recordings from field stations in the Swedish Road Weather Information System (RWIS) are analysed. The purpose is to explore how long it takes for air and road surface temperatures to adjust from clear to overcast conditions after a warm front arrival, and to see if there are any variations in reaction time between the two temperatures. The study also focuses on whether different sitings affect the adjustment time when the warm front arrives and if the time of arrival is important for the resulting temperature variations. The results show that weather preceding the front, temperature difference when the front arrives, arrival time of the front, wind speed and the occurrence of precipitation all have an effect on the adjustment time. Air temperature reacts faster to a weather change than the road surface temperature. During the evening the road surface temperature can still be affected by previous shading for up to four hours after a front arrival. When the total cloud cover increases above 4 oktas before noon there are no or small lags in reaction time between air and road surface temperature, since there is insufficient time to establish shading effects.

Prediction of hoar‐frost by use of a Road Weather information System
Authors: Karlsson Maria 
Published: July 2002

AbstractThis study measured the amount of hoar‐frost on the road surface with the help of copper plates. The amounts were compared to data collected at a station in the Road Weather information System (RWiS) together with additional measurements of the temperature and humidity profile above the road surface. The data were used to specify the weather parameters when hoar‐frost forms on the road surface and relate the measured amount of hoar‐frost and resulting friction to measured weather parameters. The aim was also to see whether there was an increased possibility of predicting the amount of hoar‐frost with additional measurements of the temperature and humidity profiles. The results of this study confirm that the amount of hoar‐frost deposited on the road surface increases with increasing average wind speed, increasing maximum difference between dew point (Td) and road surface temperature (Tr) and increased duration when Tr<Td, measured at the RWiS station. However, the difference between Td and Tr failed to indicate hoar‐frost on several occasions due to the location and poor accuracy of the measuring equipment. Measurements of temperature and humidity in a profile up to 2.5 m above the road surface showed that the air layer up to 0.4 m reflected conditions at the road surface whereas the surrounding areas influenced the measurements at higher levels. A forward multiple regression performed on the data showed that measurements of temperature and humidity at lower levels improved predictions of deposition of hoar‐frost on the road surface. Measurements of friction on the road surface when hoar‐frost was present showed that friction decreased with increasing difference between Td and Tr and it also increased with the duration of Tr<Td. There was no correlation between the amount of hoar‐frost and friction at the road surface. The friction is probably influenced not only by the amount of hoar‐frost but also by the structure of the hoar‐frost, which has not been determined in this study.

Synoptic analysis of an extreme heat wave over Argentina in March 1980
Authors: Campetella Claudia , Rusticucci Matilde 
Published: July 2002

AbstractDuring the last two weeks of March 1980 an intense heat wave developed in central and northern Argentina, with its greatest intensity over the city of Buenos Aires. The sequence of temperature anomalies showed the importance of this heat wave. During the period of maximum intensity the daily minimum temperatures were over 27° and the apparent temperatures over 30°. It was the most intense heat wave of the last two decades and the only one that has occurred in March. The intensity of the event is shown by the high values of several biometeorological indices that indicate dangerous levels of thermal stress on people. The persistence of an anticyclonic circulation at all tropospheric levels and the extension of the barotropic zone to the south led to the maintenance of high values of temperature and humidity. The advective effect added to the intense solar radiation was the most important cause of the high temperatures. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Hormone and Seed-Specific Regulation of Pea Fruit Growth
Authors: Ozga Jocelyn A. , van Huizen Rika , Reinecke Dennis M. 
Published: July 2002

Abstract
Growth of young pea (Pisum sativum) fruit (pericarp) requires developing seeds or, in the absence of seeds, treatment with gibberellin (GA) or auxin (4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid). This study examined the role of seeds and hormones in the regulation of cell division and elongation in early pea fruit development. Profiling histone H2A and γ-tonoplast intrinsic protein (TIP) gene expression during early fruit development identified the relative contributions of cell division and elongation to fruit growth, whereas histological studies identified specific zones of cell division and elongation in exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp tissues. Molecular and histological studies showed that maximal cell division was from −2 to 2 d after anthesis (DAA) and elongation from 2 to 5 DAA in pea pericarp. Maximal increase in pericarp γ-TIP message level preceded the maximal rate of fruit growth and, in general, γ-TIP mRNA level was useful as a qualitative marker for expanding tissue, but not as a quantitative marker for cell expansion. Seed removal resulted in rapid decreases in pericarp growth and in γ-TIP and histone H2A message levels. In general, GA and 4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid maintained these processes in deseeded pericarp similarly to pericarps with seeds, and both hormones were required to obtain mesocarp cell sizes equivalent to intact fruit. However, GA treatment to deseeded pericarps resulted in elevated levels of γ-TIP mRNA (6 and 7 DAA) when pericarp growth and cell enlargement were minimal. Our data support the theory that cell division and elongation are developmentally regulated during early pea fruit growth and are maintained by the hormonal interaction of GA and auxin.
Two Wound-Inducible Soybean Cysteine Proteinase Inhibitors Have Greater Insect Digestive Proteinase Inhibitory Activities than a Constitutive Homolog

Published: July 2002

Abstract
Diverse functions for three soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) cysteine proteinase inhibitors (CysPIs) are inferred from unique characteristics of differential regulation of gene expression and inhibitory activities against specific Cys proteinases. Based on northern blot analyses, we found that the expression in leaves of one soybean CysPI gene (L1) was constitutive and the other two (N2 and R1) were induced by wounding or methyl jasmonate treatment. Induction of N2 and R1 transcript levels in leaves occurred coincidentally with increased papain inhibitory activity. Analyses of kinetic data from bacterial recombinant CysPI proteins indicated that soybean CysPIs are noncompetitive inhibitors of papain. The inhibition constants against papain of the CysPIs encoded by the wound and methyl jasmonate-inducible genes (57 and 21 nM for N2 and R1, respectively) were 500 to 1000 times lower than the inhibition constant of L1 (19,000 nM). N2 and R1 had substantially greater inhibitory activities than L1 against gut cysteine proteinases of the third-instar larvae of western corn rootworm and Colorado potato beetle. Cysteine proteinases were the predominant digestive proteolytic enzymes in the guts of these insects at this developmental stage. N2 and R1 were more inhibitory than the epoxide trans-epoxysuccinyl-L-leucylamide-(4-guanidino)butane (E-64) against western corn rootworm gut proteinases (50% inhibition concentration = 50, 200, and 7000 nM for N2, R1, and E-64, respectively). However, N2 and R1 were less effective than E-64 against the gut proteinases of Colorado potato beetle. These results indicate that the wound-inducible soybean CysPIs, N2 and R1, function in host plant defense against insect predation, and that substantial variation in CysPI activity against insect digestive proteinases exists among plant CysPI proteins.
