Growth control, interface behavior, band alignment, and potential device applications of 2D lateral heterostructures
Authors: Zhao Jijun , Cheng Kai , Han Nannan , Zhang Junfeng 
Published: November 2017

Two‐dimensional (2D) lateral heterostructures open a new avenue for intentional design of novel 2D devices with superior electronic and optoelectronic properties. Since 2012, many groups have successfully synthesized lateral graphene/h‐BN heterostructures on metal substrates and the fabrication of in‐plane heterostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides has also been reported since 2014. In this review, we first present an overview on recent progress of the experimental fabrications of 2D lateral heterostructures, along with the growth mechanism from atomistic simulations. The atomic structures of interfaces, electronic and thermal transport properties across interfaces for some 2D lateral heterojunctions are then discussed. Our current theoretical understanding on the band alignments and electronic properties as well as potential device applications of these lateral heterostructures are summarized. Finally, we give a perspective on this fast‐growing field. WIREs Comput Mol Sci 2018, 8:e1353. doi: 10.1002/wcms.1353This article is categorized under:

Juvenile burrowing owl movement and survival in a human‐altered landscape
Authors: Griffin Eboni , Desmond Martha , VanLeeuwen Dawn 
Published: November 2017

ABSTRACTBurrowing owls (Athene cunicularia) are increasingly moving into human‐altered landscapes, yet it is not well‐understood how these environments affect movements and survival. We studied postfledging juvenile burrowing owls (n = 42) in urban, greenspace, and agricultural environments in New Mexico, USA, during 2012 and 2013. Agriculture was divided into heterogeneous and homogenous blocks (up to 1,000‐m radius from nest) based on land‐cover continuity. Postfledging movement distance (n = 31) was not influenced by year, sex, or landscape metrics within 600 m of the nest. Landscape metrics, however, did not account for visual barriers to movement including pecan orchards and residential areas within the agricultural landscape. Movement distances did vary by dominant environment, with owls in urban landscapes (80.9 m ± 20.1 SE, n = 4) moving shorter distances than owls in greenspace (552.7 m ± 117.0 SE, n = 7), homogenous agriculture (497.8 m ± 140.6 SE, n = 7), and heterogeneous agriculture (206.7 m ± 36.3 SE, n = 13). Juvenile postfledging survival was greater in landscapes with a greater percentage of agriculture (β = 0.017, 95% CL = 0.017–0.018). Survival was greatest in heterogeneous and homogeneous agriculture (93% and 89%, respectively) followed by urban (67%) and greenspace (50%) environments. Greenspace had the greatest mortality rate, but was negatively correlated with agriculture, making it difficult to ascertain whether one of these metrics had a stronger influence on survival. Increased mortality in greenspace suggests urban parks and patches of native vegetation adjacent to urban development do not protect young owls. Owls in larger expanses of continuous cover had greater movements and utilized more satellite burrows. Programs managing for burrowing owls in human‐altered landscapes should avoid establishing artificial burrows and translocation sites in greenspace adjacent to urban areas, and, in the southwestern United States, should focus on agricultural areas. © 2017 The Wildlife Society.

AbstractIn a longitudinal cohort study of young Australian adults, we reported that for women higher baseline levels of fish consumption were associated with reduced incidence of new depressive episodes during the 5-year follow-up. Fish are high in bothn-3 fatty acids and tyrosine. In this study, we seek to determine whethern-3 fatty acids or tyrosine explain the observed association. During 2004–2006, a FFQ (nine fish items) was used to estimate weekly fish consumption among 546 women aged 26–36 years. A fasting blood sample was taken and high-throughput NMR spectroscopy was used to measure 233 metabolites, including serumn-3 fatty acids and tyrosine. During 2009–2011, new episodes of depression since baseline were identified using the lifetime version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Relative risks were calculated using log-binomial regression and indirect effects estimated using the STATA binary_mediation command. Potential mediators were added to separate models, and mediation was quantified as the proportion of the total effect due to the mediator. Then-3 DHA mediated 25·3 % of the association between fish consumption and depression when fish consumption was analysed as a continuous variable and 16·6 % when dichotomised (reference group: <2 serves/week). Tyrosine did not mediate the association (<0·1 %). Components in fish other thann-3 fatty acids and tyrosine might be beneficial for women’s mental health.
Genetic risk of major depressive disorder: the moderating and mediating effects of neuroticism and psychological resilience on clinical and self-reported depression

Published: November 2017

AbstractBackgroundPolygenic risk scores (PRS) for depression correlate with depression status and chronicity, and provide causal anchors to identify depressive mechanisms. Neuroticism is phenotypically and genetically positively associated with depression, whereas psychological resilience demonstrates negative phenotypic associations. Whether increased neuroticism and reduced resilience are downstream mediators of genetic risk for depression, and whether they contribute independently to risk remains unknown.MethodsModerating and mediating relationships between depression PRS, neuroticism, resilience and both clinical and self-reported depression were examined in a large, population-based cohort, Generation Scotland: Scottish Family Health Study (N = 4166), using linear regression and structural equation modelling. Neuroticism and resilience were measured by the Eysenck Personality Scale Short Form Revised and the Brief Resilience Scale, respectively.ResultsPRS for depression was associated with increased likelihood of self-reported and clinical depression. No interaction was found between PRS and neuroticism, or between PRS and resilience. Neuroticism was associated with increased likelihood of self-reported and clinical depression, whereas resilience was associated with reduced risk. Structural equation modelling suggested the association between PRS and self-reported and clinical depression was mediated by neuroticism (43–57%), while resilience mediated the association in the opposite direction (37–40%). For both self-reported and clinical diagnoses, the genetic risk for depression was independently mediated by neuroticism and resilience.ConclusionsFindings suggest polygenic risk for depression increases vulnerability for self-reported and clinical depression through independent effects on increased neuroticism and reduced psychological resilience. In addition, two partially independent mechanisms – neuroticism and resilience – may form part of the pathway of vulnerability to depression.
The behavioural constellation of deprivation: Compelling framework, messy reality
Authors: Daly Martin , Ramos Dandara , Perry Gretchen 
Published: November 2017

AbstractPepper & Nettle's (P&N's) argument is compelling, but apparently contradictory data are easily found. Associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and substance abuse are sometimes positive, the poor are sometimes eager to educate their children, and perceptions of local mortality risk can be so distorted as to constitute an implausible basis for contextually appropriate responding. These anomalies highlight the need for more psychological work.
A social dimension to enjoyment of negative emotion in art reception
Authors: Bastian Brock 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe proposed model overlooks the contribution of a relational/prosocial dimension to the enjoyment of negative emotion in art reception. Negative experiences have a unique capacity to build social bonds and may also increase motivation to “connect” with the artist. This affiliative motivation ensures that people experience an artwork as more emotional, more intense, more interesting, and ultimately more rewarding.
You are not alone – Social sharing as a necessary addition to the Embracing factor
Authors: Egloff Boris 
Published: November 2017

AbstractI argue that the Embracing factor cannot be adequately conceptualized without taking into account the regulatory power of the social sharing of emotions. Humans tend to share their negative emotions with close others, and they benefit from it. I outline how this mechanism works in art reception by regulating and transforming negative emotions into positive experiences.
Art and fiction are signals with indeterminate truth values
Authors: Rabb Nathaniel 
Published: November 2017

AbstractMenninghaus et al. distinguish art from fiction, but no current arguments or data suggest that the concept of art can be meaningfully circumscribed. This is a problem for aesthetic psychology. I sketch a solution by rejecting the distinction: Unlike most animal communication, in which signals are either true or false, art and fiction consist of signals without determinate truth values.
Being moved is a positive emotion, and emotions should not be equated with their vernacular labels

AbstractAs evidence for the second process of the Embracing factor, the target article characterizes being moved as a mixed emotion linked to sadness through metonymy. We question these characterizations and argue that emotions should not be equated with their vernacular labels.

Published: November 2017

AbstractThe aim was to assess the utility and feasibility of a comprehensive cardiac screening protocol in young athletes before participation in sports. A total of 380 athletes referring before participation in sports, between April, 2014 and April, 2015, were included in this study. The mean age was 12.4 years. A screening protocol has been applied to all, including personal and family history, physical examination, 12-lead electrocardiography, transthoracic echocardiography, 24-hour rhythm Holter analysis, and treadmill exercise test. The most frequent complaints were chest pain in 19 (5%), dyspnoea in 13 (3.4%), and dizziness and fainting in five patients (1.3%) on exercise. There was sudden death and arrhythmia in 41 patients (10.7%) owing to family history. Heart murmur was present in 20 (5.2%) and hypertension in 10 patients (2.6%) on physical examination. The 12-lead electrocardiography was abnormal in 9 patients (2.4%). The findings of transthoracic echocardiography were insignificant in 47 patients (12.3%) and in five patients (1.3%) a haemodynamically important condition was detected. The 24-hour rhythm Holter analysis was abnormal in six patients (1.5%). There were significant ST changes in two patients (0.5%) on treadmill exercise test with normal findings on myocardial perfusion scans. No significant relation was present between findings of screening protocol and transthoracic echocardiography, 24-hour rhythm Holter analysis, or treadmill exercise test results.Pre-participation screening in young athletes should consist of a targeted personal history, family history, physical examination, and 12-lead electrocardiography. Other tests should be applied only if the screening indicates the presence of a cardiovascular disease.

AbstractObjectiveTo identify individual and contextual socio-economic factors associated with an increase in fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption over a 12-year period and evaluate if some socio-economic factors were differentially associated with the change in consumption of some types of F&V.DesignAssociations between increased F&V consumption and socio-economic factors were studied with multivariate logistic regression.SettingE3N, a French prospective cohort study of 98 995 women.SubjectsE3N participants (n58 193) with information on diet in 1993 and 2005, and numerous individual and contextual socio-economic factors available.ResultsAssociations between some individual socio-economic factors and changes in F&V consumption were observed. For instance, women who lived in a large household (>3 childrenv. no child) had higher probability of increasing their vegetable consumption (OR=1·33; 95 % CI 1·24, 1·42). This association was driven by higher consumption of courgette and raw cucumber. Living with a partner was associated with higher odds of increasing consumption of fruits (OR=1·07; 95 % CI 1·02, 1·13) such as pear, peach and grape.ConclusionsCertain individual socio-economic factors, but none of the contextual socio-economic factors examined, were associated with an increase in F&V consumption. Factors associated with an increase in total F&V consumption were not necessarily associated with an increase in fruit or vegetable consumption separately, or with an increase in each subtype of fruit or vegetable. Magnitudes of the different associations observed also differed when F&V were considered together, separately or by subtype. Increases in F&V consumption were mostly observed in women with high socio-economic position. To develop effective nutritional interventions and policies that take the socio-economic environment of individuals into account, we recommend future research to further focus on (i) pathways through which population characteristics might influence changes in F&V consumption and (ii) existing interactions between individual and contextual socio-economic factors.
Marx and Kant on Capitalist Exploitation
Authors: Wood Allen 
Published: November 2017

AbstractMarx holds that capitalism is exploitative, but not unjust. Kant crafted a theory of right that explains why human beings are treated unjustly when the social system deprives them of the conditions of a free life. This essay attempts to relate Kant’s and Marx’s views to one another and to the capitalist social system, which these two thinkers studied at different stages of development. The economic and social theories of Fichte and Hegel are also employed to help make sense of the points of agreement and of disagreement between Kant and Marx concerning the ways modern capitalism deprives workers of freedom and whether this deprivation should be condemned as unjust.
Defending psychiatry or defending the trivial effects of therapeutic interventions? A citation content analysis of an influential paper
Authors: Cristea I. A. , Naudet F. 
Published: November 2017

Aims.Leucht et al. in 2012 described an overview of meta-analyses of the efficacy of medication in psychiatry and general medicine, concluding that psychiatric drugs were not less efficacious than other drugs. Our goal was to explore the dissemination of this highly cited paper, which combined a thought provoking message with a series of caveats.Methods.We conducted a prospectively registered citation content analysis. All papers published before June 1st citing the target paper were independently rated by two investigators. The primary outcome coded dichotomously was whether the citation was used to justify a small or modest effect observed for a given treatment. Secondary outcomes regarded mentioning any caveats when citing the target paper, the point the citation was making (treatment effectiveness in psychiatry closely resembles that in general medicine, others), the type of condition (psychiatric, medical or both), specific disease, treatment category and specific type. We also extracted information about the type of citing paper, financial conflict of interest (COI) declared and any industry support. The primary analysis was descriptive by tabulating the extracted variables, with numbers and percentages where appropriate. Co-authorship networks were constructed to identify possible clusters of citing authors. An exploratory univariate logistic regression was used to explore the relationship between each of a subset of pre-specified secondary outcomes and the primary outcome.Results.We identified 135 records and retrieved and analysed 120. Sixty-three (53%) quoted Leucht et al.’s paper to justify a small or modest effect observed for a given therapy, and 113 (94%) did not mention any caveats. Seventy-two (60%) used the citation to claim that treatment effectiveness in psychiatry closely resembles that in general medicine; 110 (91%) paper were about psychiatric conditions. Forty-one (34%) papers quoted it without pointing towards any specific treatment category, 28 (23%) were about antidepressants, 18 (15%) about antipsychotics. Forty (33%) of the citing papers included data. COIs were reported in 55 papers (46%). Univariate and multivariate regressions showed an association between a quote justifying small or modest effects and the point that treatment effectiveness in psychiatry closely resembles that in general medicine.Conclusions.Our evaluation revealed an overwhelmingly uncritical reception and seemed to indicate that beyond defending psychiatry as a discipline, the paper by Leucht et al. served to lend support and credibility to a therapeutic myth: trivial effects of mental health interventions, most often drugs, are to be expected and therefore accepted.Protocol registration: https://osf.io/9dqat/
‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ Accumulates inside Endoplasmic Reticulum Associated Vacuoles in the Gut Cells of Diaphorina citri

Published: November 2017

AbstractCitrus greening disease known also as Huanglongbing (HLB) caused by the phloem-limited bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) has resulted in tremendous losses and the death of millions of trees worldwide. CLas is transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri. The closely-related bacteria ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (CLso), associated with vegetative disorders in carrots, is transmitted by the carrot psyllid Bactericera trigonica. A promising approach to prevent the transmission of these pathogens is to interfere with the vector-pathogen interactions, but our understanding of these processes is limited. It was recently reported that CLas induced changes in the nuclear architecture, and activated programmed cell death, in D. citri midgut cells. Here, we used electron and fluorescent microscopy and show that CLas induces the formation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated bodies. The bacterium recruits those ER structures into Liberibacter containing vacuoles (LCVs), in which bacterial cells seem to propagate. ER- associated LCV formation was unique to CLas, as we could not detect these bodies in B. trigonica infected with CLso. ER recruitment is hypothesized to generate a safe replicative body to escape cellular immune responses in the insect gut. Understanding the molecular interactions that undelay these responses will open new opportunities for controlling CLas.
Effects of 1,25 and 24,25 Vitamin D on Corneal Epithelial Proliferation, Migration and Vitamin D Metabolizing and Catabolizing Enzymes
Authors: Lu Xiaowen , Chen Zhong , Mylarapu Namratha , Watsky Mitchell A. 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThis study investigated the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 and 24R,25(OH)2D3 on corneal epithelial cell proliferation, migration, and on the vitamin D activating enzyme CYP27B1 (produces 1,25(OH)2D3) and inactivating enzyme CYP24A1 (produces 24R,25(OH)2D3). The role of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) was also examined. In VDR wildtype mouse corneal epithelial cells (WT), 1,25(OH)2D3 increased CYP24A1 protein expression and decreased CYP27B1 expression. In VDR knockout mouse epithelial cells (KO), 1,25(OH)2D3 increased CYP24A1 and CYP27B1 protein expression. 1,25(OH)2D3 did not affect WT cell proliferation, but did stimulate VDR KO cell proliferation. In a human corneal epithelial cell line (HCEC), 1,25(OH)2D3 increased CYP24A1 mRNA and protein expression. 1,25(OH)2D3 increased CYP27B1 mRNA levels in HCEC, but had no effect on CYP27B1 protein levels. 1,25(OH)2D3 inhibited HCEC proliferation and stimulated cell migration in primary human epithelial cells. 24,25(OH)2D3, on the other hand, increased both CYP24A1 and CYP27B1 protein expression in WT and VDR KO cells, and stimulated cell proliferation in both WT and KO cells. In HCEC, 24,25(OH)2D3 increased CYP24A1 and CYP27B1 mRNA and protein expression, and stimulated cell migration. In human primary corneal epithelial cells, 24,25(OH)2D3 stimulated migration. We conclude that 24R,25(OH)2D3 is likely involved in corneal epithelial cell regulation independent of 1,25(OH)2D3 or VDR.
Total synthesis of the reported structure of 13a-hydroxytylophorine

Published: November 2017

AbstractThe first total synthesis of the reported structure of 13a-hydroxytylophorine was accomplished. The key step was an unprecedented NaBH4-promoted one-pot reductive cyclization cascade that efficiently yielded a hydroxyl azonane intermediate. The indolizidine framework was obtained by means of oxidation and a subsequent unexpected protecting-group migration. This total synthesis revealed that the reported structure of the naturally isolated compound is incorrect.
Opposite effects of dissolved oxygen on the removal of As(III) and As(V) by carbonate structural Fe(II)

Published: November 2017

AbstractFreshly prepared carbonate structural Fe(II) (CSF) was used to immobilize As(III) and As(V) in wastewater under oxic and anoxic conditions. Dissolved oxygen was found to exert opposite effects on these two arsenic species. The sorption density of As(III) was higher under oxic conditions, whereas that of As(V) was higher under anoxic conditions. X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopic analyses indicated that crystalline parasymplesite (Fe(II)3(AsO4)2·8H2O) was formed when As(V) was removed under anoxic conditions, while an amorphous Fe-As-containing precipitate was formed when As(III) was removed under oxic conditions. The distribution of arsenic and iron between the solution and sediments suggested that the oxidation of structural Fe(II) promoted coprecipitation process and inhibited surface complexation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analyses revealed that more As(III) was oxidized under oxic condition, which contributed to a higher sorption capacity for As(III). The formation of parasymplesite through surface complexation/precipitation was proposed to be more effective for the removal of As(V) by CSF, while As(III) was more efficiently removed through coprecipitation. Together, the results suggest that CSF may be an effective material for sequestering both As(III) and As(V). In addition, attention should be paid to the dissolved oxygen content when remediating different arsenic species.
