Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness of the Acceptance Journeys social marketing campaign to reduce homophobia in the Black community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Methods. We assessed the campaign’s effectiveness using a rolling cross-sectional survey. Data were collected annually online between 2011 and 2015. Each year, a unique sample of Black and White adults, aged 30 years and older, were surveyed in the treatment city (Milwaukee) and in 2 comparison cities that did not have antihomophobia campaigns (St. Louis, MO, and Cleveland, OH; for total sample, n = 3592). Results. Black self-identification and Milwaukee residence were significantly associated with exposure to the campaign, suggesting successful message targeting. The relationship between exposure and acceptance of gay men was significantly mediated through attitudes toward gay men, perceptions of community acceptance, and perceptions of the impact of stigma on gay men, but not through rejection of stereotypes. This model accounted for 39% of variance in acceptance. Conclusions. This evidence suggests that the Acceptance Journeys model of social marketing may be a promising strategy for addressing homophobia in US Black communities.

Core Ideas
Grain yield of the second wheat crop was 80% of first wheat crop in WWSF.
Grain yield of the second sorghum crop was 63% of first sorghum crop in WSSF.
Four‐year rotations were similar in productivity to 3‐yr WSF.
Water productivity was greater with 4‐yr rotations than continuous wheat.
Continuous no‐till did not increase second year wheat and sorghum yields.
Diverse crop rotations sustain crop productivity by increasing crop water productivity and improving soil structure. The objective of this study was to compare two 4‐yr winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) rotations in terms of grain yield, available soil water, and water productivity along with continuous winter wheat. A field study was conducted from 1996 through 2015 on a deep silt loam soil near Tribune, KS. The study consisted of three crop rotations: continuous annual wheat (WW), wheat–wheat–sorghum–fallow (WWSF), and wheat–sorghum–sorghum–fallow (WSSF). Grain yield, biomass, water productivity, and soil water were all greater for sorghum after wheat compared with sorghum after sorghum. Similarly, grain yield, biomass, water productivity, and soil water were all greater for wheat after fallow compared with wheat after wheat. The yield of the second wheat crop was 80% of the first wheat crop in WWSF, whereas the yield of a second sorghum was only 63% of the first sorghum crop in WSSF. The average crop water productivity (7 kg ha−1 mm−1) of the WSSF rotation was greater than the other rotations. On average, the WSSF system produced 2.05 Mg ha−1 yr−1 wheat equivalent yield (WEY), which was similar to the 1.96 Mg ha−1 yr−1 WEY from the WWSF rotation and greater than WW, which produced 1.53 Mg ha−1 yr−1 of wheat grain. A WSF rotation would have produced 2.0 Mg ha−1 yr−1 WEY, so the 4‐yr rotations were not more productive than a 3‐yr WSF rotation.

Published: November 2016

Core IdeasNitrite concentration was highly correlated with N2O emissions within two distinct water content ranges.Soil moisture was the most important environmental factor affecting N2O emissions.Nitrous oxide emissions increased exponentially as the N application rate increased.Biochar and N transformation inhibitors showed great potential to reduce N2O emissions.A better understanding of the factors and processes affecting N2O emissions is essential for developing mitigation strategies. This research aimed to examine the factors and processes affecting N2O emissions and N dynamics. Laboratory incubation experiments examined the effects of N (urea) application rate (0–150 mg N kg‐1); soil water content (5–30%, w/w); temperature (10–40°C); and incorporation of biochar (1%, w/w), a urease inhibitor (Agrotain Ultra), and a nitrification inhibitor (N‐Serve 24) on N2O emissions and N transformation dynamics in a Hanford sandy loam soil. Nitrous oxide emissions, soil pH, and mineral N species were monitored for 35 d. Peak emission rates and cumulative losses of N2O increased more than the N application rate increased. Soil water content at 20 and 30% [above the water holding capacity (WHC) of 12%] resulted in much higher total N2O emissions (9.3 and 8.0% of total soil inorganic N, respectively) than that from 5 and 10% water content (0.2 and 0.3%, respectively). Increasing soil water content above WHC caused higher N2O emissions than increasing the soil temperature, which demonstrates that soil moisture is more significant in affecting the process. Nitrite concentration was highly correlated with N2O emissions within two water content ranges (above or below WHC). Amendment with biochar, Agrotain Ultra, and N‐Serve 24 reduced N2O emissions by 74, 78, and 74%, respectively. This research provide further understanding of the processes affecting N2O emissions from soil, which can assist in developing management practices.

Published: November 2016

Objective:
Although there are many etiology and prediction for prognosis of spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SONK) by using radiological examinations, these issue have not been clarified yet. Furthermore, most of the studies evaluated them by only radiological examination such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone mineral density (BMD) in dual-energy X-ray abosorptiometry (DEXA) or plain X-ray. Therefore, we focused our investigation on the measurements of the affected área in MRI and BMD in DEXA, and whether these results were conected with the cause and prognosis of SONK or not.

Method:
A consecutive case series of two groups composed of ten osteoporotic patients who were suffering from SONK was considered. Based on the severity or duration of pain, one group was treated with surgical procedure which was unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), the other received conservative treatment. Both groups underwent DEXA in their distal fêmur and próximal tíbia and all patients who took MRI measured the affected lesion in low and high intensity área on T2 weighted images. This data was analyzed from these areas and units.

Results:
Significant decrease in regional boné density of the affected femoral condyle compared to the unaffected side was observed. However, the boné mineral density in the affected side was similar in the non-operative and surgical group. The área of the lesion which showed in both low and high intensity indicated that the operation group was significantly larger than the conservative group on T2 weighted images.

Conclusion:
The cause and prognosis of SONK have a close relationship with the size of the affected lesion and decreased boné mineral density

Background and objectives
Elevated levels of urinary kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin are associated with negative outcomes in CKD. Our study aimed to explore the prognostic accuracy of blood levels of kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin for progression to ESRD, major adverse cardiovascular events, and death in a large cohort of adult patients with all–cause nondialysis–dependent CKD stages 3–5. We considered whether these factors improve prediction in relation to traditional biomarkers and clinical parameters.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
Kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin were measured on baseline plasma samples from 1982 patients who were recruited to the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Standards Implementation Study between the start of June of 2002 and the start of June of 2013. Associations with study end points were assessed using Cox regression models, receiver operator characteristic curve analyses, and reclassification statistics.

Results
Over a median follow-up of 29.5 months (interquartile range, 14.9–53.5), 21.6% of patients progressed to ESRD, 27% died, and 6.6% suffered a major adverse cardiovascular event. Higher blood levels of kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin were independently associated with a greater risk for ESRD (hazard ratio, 1.25; 95% confidence interval, 1.10 to 1.43; P<0.001 and hazard ratio, 1.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.14 to 1.59; P≤0.001, respectively, per 1 SD higher biomarker concentration). There was no association with risk for cardiovascular events or death. The addition of biomarkers to our baseline risk model of traditional clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters did not significantly improve model discrimination or risk reclassification.

Conclusions
In patients with moderate to severe CKD, kidney injury molecule-1 and neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin blood levels are independent risk factors for progression to ESRD. Additional studies are needed to establish the utility and cost-effectiveness of these novel biomarkers in the clinical setting.

We studied the effect of a water soluble derivative of fullerene C60 on the behavior of cultured neural stem/progenitor cells. Addition of 20 nM of metal fullerenolate C60 (NaFL) into the cell culture increased the population of the cells almost twice in comparison with the control and also suppressed the formation of neurospheres. The obtained data allow us to suggest that NaFL has a positive effect on the proliferative activity of neural progenitors. The water-soluble fullerene nanostructures such as NaFL promoting the proliferation of neural stem cells might have numerous beneficent applications in cell biology and biotechnology.

Published: November 2016

In the group of patients (n = 21, mean age 54 ± 5.8 years) with chronic lower limb ischemia stage IIB who were non-liable for reconstructiverestoration surgery, we have established positive clinical effects of local transplantation of human fetal liver progenitor cells. Complex examination following 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after transplantation included duplex scanning of limb arteries, x-ray contrast arteriography and laser Doppler flowmetry as well as measuring pain-free walking and evaluating life quality based on individual questionnaire data.Owing to the transplant “Cryopreserved human fetal liver progenitor cells” the patients demonstrated stable increase of life quality index and pain-free walking as well as improvement of general health allowing assign them to the group of patients with lower ischemia stage, quicker social rehabilitation and lesser risk of disabling surgery (р < 0.05). Also, there were observations of improved microcirculation in the ischemic extremities owing to activation of endothelium-independent mechanisms of vasodilatation, reduced myotonus and neurotonus of the pre-capillaries and improved endothelium-dependent influence on the microhaemodynamic and, hence, an increased reserve capillary blood flow (p < 0.05).Analysis of the obtained results indicates prospects and effectiveness of using fetal liver cells transplantation in the patients who are not liable for surgical reconstruction of the vascular bed.

Published: November 2016

OBJECTIVE
Although long-term weight regain may occur after bariatric surgery, many patients are protected against relapse or development of type 2 diabetes. The study objective was to investigate whether this involves beneficial changes in adipose function.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Forty-nine obese women were investigated before and 2 and 5 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). At the 5-year follow-up, 30 subjects were pairwise matched for BMI and age to 30 control women. Clinical parameters and fine-needle biopsies from subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue were obtained; fat cell size and number, lipolysis, adiponectin, and proinflammatory protein secretion were determined.

RESULTS
After 2 years, BMI decreased from 43 to 29 kg/m2, which was accompanied by improvements in insulin sensitivity (HOMA of insulin resistance [HOMA-IR]), increased circulating and adipose secreted adiponectin, and decreased adipose lipolysis and fat cell size but no change in adipocyte number. Between 2 and 5 years after surgery, BMI had increased to 31 kg/m2. This was associated with slightly increased HOMA-IR and unaltered circulating or adipose secreted adiponectin but higher secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α and increased lipolysis and number of fat cells but no change in adipocyte size. All these parameters, except lipolysis, were significantly more favorable compared with those in matched control subjects. Furthermore, the relationship between HOMA-IR and circulating adiponectin was less steep than in control subjects.

CONCLUSIONS
RYGB improves long-term insulin sensitivity and adipose phenotypes beyond the control state despite weight regain. Postoperative beneficial alterations in adipose function may be involved in the diabetes-protective effect of bariatric surgery.

AbstractHigh strength aluminum alloys of type AA2014 are used in aerospace applications. This alloy is considered unweldable using fusion welding processes. Friction stir welding being a solid state process has been proved to be a suitable process for obtaining sound welds of these materials. In the current study, 8 mm thick rolled AA2014-T651 aluminum alloy plates were joined using friction stir welding. The corrosion behavior of base material and friction stir welds was investigated using the salt fog test (ASTM B117). The corrosion resistance of the welds and parent material in the basic solution was found to be better than that in acidic and neutral solutions. It was also found that the corrosion rate increases with increase in time of exposure. It has been observed that corrosion attack is greater in the weld region than in the parent material and within the weld, heat affected zone has been found to be more susceptible to corrosion compared to the weld nugget and thermomechanically affected zone regions. Transmission electron microscopy studies revealed coarser precipitates and precipitate-free zones in the heat affected zone which are concluded to be the reasons for more susceptibility to corrosion.
Improving the performance of cementless knee prosthesis coating through functionally graded material
Authors: Asiri Saeed A. , Hedia Hassan S. , Fouda Noha 
Published: November 2016

AbstractSurfaces are the primary place of contact a biomaterial and its host organism. Surface treatment or coating provides means to overcome the problem which appeared after knee replacement surgery. There are two main problems: stress shielding and subsequent bone remodeling cause bone resorption around the implant especially at the proximal part of the knee under the tibia tray. The other problem is stem tip pain. Therefore, the aim of this investigation is to find a new design of coating material of a cementless total knee replacement using functionally graded material (FGM). In particular, the objective of this research is to find the optimal material compositions as well as the optimal gradation direction. It has been found that using both vertical and horizontal FGM coatings increased the von Mises stress at the proximal part of the tibial cancellous bone. The von Mises stress in cancellous epiphyseal bone was increased by 77 % using vertical and horizontal FGM coating compared to HAP coating. It has been determined that this new coating design will improve the performance of a cementless tibia tray and will increase the life of the knee prosthesis.
A validation experiment on indium recovery by electrowinning of aqueous electrolytes: Optimization of electrolyte composition

Published: November 2016

Abstract
A batch-type and lab-scale indium recovery method was developed via electrowinning (EW) to prove mass production-capability and economic recovery of indium from InCl3 crystals precipitated from the solvent extraction using a suitable phosphoric acid-based extractant. More precisely, the InCl3 crystals thus precipitated were further dissolved in three different aqueous electrolyte mixtures for subsequent electrowinning experiments: 0.05 M InCl3 – 0.7 M LiCl; 0.05M InCl3; 0.05 M InCl3 – 0.7 M NaCl. The effect of adding LiCl and NaCl supporting electrolytes to InCl3 on overall EW efficiency was thus comprehensibly investigated. Direct electroreduction of InCl3 using 0.05 M InCl3 aqueous electrolyte resulted in the highest indium metal purity of 99.996 % deposited on the copper cathode. Thus, metallic contents obtained from the validation experiments were further characterized using various analytical tools such as inductively coupled plasma/atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP/AES), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF).
Observations biologiques sur les Trichoptères cavernicoles
Authors: Bournaud Michel 
Published: November 2016

Au cours de prélèvements standards réguliers dans la grotte du Crochet (Torcieu, Ain), d'observations dans des grottes de Chartreuse et d'élevages d'imagos au laboratoire, nous avons cherché à préciser les conditions de vie des Trichoptères cavernicoles entre la mue imaginale et la ponte. Les observations ont porté sur Micropterna nycterobia (McL), Micropterna testacea (Gmel.) et Stenophylax permistus McL.
La sex-ratio de 4 espèces de Micropterna de provenances variées, et surtout de jeunes imagos d'élevages, se traduit par 26,7 à 41,7 % de ♀ ♀ (tabl. II et III). Pour les espèces de Stenophylax, cette proportion semble plus variable, mais voisine de 50 %.
60 à 95 % des ♀ ♀ de M. nycterobia sont en copulation dans la grotte (fig. 5) ; environ 20 % pour St. permistus.
Sitôt après leur envol, les imagos arrivent dans la grotte ; la maturation ovarienne s'y opère très lentement pendant l'été. Des pontes issues de ♀ ♀ de M. nycterobia ont fourni des larves élevées au laboratoire jusqu'à leur métamorphose (tabl. IV). La vie dans la grotte permet donc une ponte féconde à une date normale, après une période estivale de diapause imaginale.
Les conditions de vie dans la grotte sont précisées. Les Mulots — Apodemus sylvaticus L. — exercent une forte prédation. Les facteurs indispensables à la vie des imagos semblent être avant tout la basse température et ensuite l'humidité saturante (tabl. V).
PERIOD ESTIMATION FOR SPARSELY SAMPLED QUASI-PERIODIC LIGHT CURVES APPLIED TO MIRAS
Authors: He Shiyuan , Yuan Wenlong , Huang Jianhua Z. , Long James , Macri Lucas M. 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
We develop a nonlinear semi-parametric Gaussian process model to estimate periods of Miras with sparsely sampled light curves. The model uses a sinusoidal basis for the periodic variation and a Gaussian process for the stochastic changes. We use maximum likelihood to estimate the period and the parameters of the Gaussian process, while integrating out the effects of other nuisance parameters in the model with respect to a suitable prior distribution obtained from earlier studies. Since the likelihood is highly multimodal for period, we implement a hybrid method that applies the quasi-Newton algorithm for Gaussian process parameters and search the period/frequency parameter space over a dense grid. A large-scale, high-fidelity simulation is conducted to mimic the sampling quality of Mira light curves obtained by the M33 Synoptic Stellar Survey. The simulated data set is publicly available and can serve as a testbed for future evaluation of different period estimation methods. The semi-parametric model outperforms an existing algorithm on this simulated test data set as measured by period recovery rate and quality of the resulting period–luminosity relations.
Le cas Miss Miller, de Théodore Flournoy à Carl Gustav Jung

En 1990, Sonu Shamdasani levait une partie du voile sur un personnage clé de l’histoire de la psychologie analytique, la dénommée Miss Frank Miller. La présente réédition – dans leur version originale – de ses auto-observations psychologiques est l’occasion d’approfondir certains aspects de sa biographie, mais également de réexaminer la façon dont Théodore Flournoy puis Carl Gustav Jung les ont interprétés.
L’analyse incarnée : corps et processus thérapeutique
Authors: Martini Salvatore , Lacour Laurence 
Published: November 2016

Cet article s’intéresse au transfert d’effets somatiques du patient vers l’analyste. Un tel transfert génère un contre-transfert incarné qui fonctionne comme un organe de communication primitive. À travers les processus d’identification projective, l’analyste fait l’expérience de niveaux de perturbation somatique qui le relient aux complexes clivés de l’analysant. L’effort de l’analyste pour parvenir à une intégration corps/esprit, montre au patient la voie vers une compréhension et une acceptation progressives de sa souffrance intérieure. De telles expériences de contagion psychique entre patient et analyste sont rattachées à la « psychologie du transfert » de Jung, et à la notion de « corps subtil » en tant qu’aire inconsciente partagée. La réattribution de sens aux expériences psychiques pré-verbales au sein de la « rêverie incarnée » du couple analytique, permet à la dyade analytique de se relier aux énergies archétypiques et au pouvoir structurant de l’inconscient collectif. Un cas clinique détaillé est présenté, dans lequel l’émergence du lien vitalisant entre psyché soma, endommagé du fait de relations précoces traumatiques, permet que l’impulsion instinctuelle du Soi se manifeste, relançant ainsi le processus d’individuation.
