On the role of alloying elements in the formation of serrated grain boundaries in Ni-based alloys
Authors: Terner Mathieu , Hong Hyun-Uk , Lee Je-Hyun , Choi Baig-Gyu 
Published: January 2016

AbstractNi-based model alloys were used to study the effect of alloying elements, namely Cr, Mo, C and Zr on the occurrence of grain boundary serration. The model alloys were free of aluminum to exclude precipitation of second-phase γ′. Similarly, the carbon content was very low, when present, to prevent precipitation of carbides. A special heat treatment involving slow cooling was used to promote grain boundary serration. No significant sign of serration was observed for Ni-10Cr-10Mo, Ni-20Cr-10Mo and Ni-10Cr-10Mo-0.05C model alloys. However, substantial serration was observed for Ni-10Cr-10Mo-0.5Zr and Ni-20Cr-0.5Zr model alloys. Serrated grain boundaries were observed in the absence of either γ′ or carbides. Zirconium-rich precipitates were recognized at serrated grain boundaries though their involvement in the occurrence of serration was doubtful. A mechanism of grain boundary serration formation is proposed.

Published: January 2016

Premise of the study:Microsatellite markers were developed in Fosterella christophii (Bromeliaceae) to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure within the F. micrantha group, comprising F. christophii, F. micrantha, and F. villosula.Methods and Results:Full‐length cDNAs were isolated from F. christophii and sequenced on a Pacific Biosciences RS platform. A total of 1590 high‐quality consensus isoforms were assembled into 971 unigenes containing 421 perfect microsatellites. Thirty primer sets were designed, of which 13 revealed a high level of polymorphism in three populations of F. christophii, with four to nine alleles per locus. Each of these 13 loci cross‐amplified in the closely related species F. micrantha and F. villosula, with one to six and one to 11 alleles per locus, respectively.Conclusions:The new markers are promising tools to study the population genetics of F. christophii and to discover species boundaries within the F. micrantha group.

Decision-Making under Radical Uncertainty: An Interpretation of Keynes’ Treatise
Authors: Marsay David 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Keynes’ mathematical Treatise addresses what some call ‘radical uncertainty’, which he thought endemic in world affairs and whose appreciation underpinned much of his later work. In contrast, the mainstream view in economics, as elsewhere, has been that even if radical uncertainty exists, either there is in principle nothing that can ever be done about it, or that even if one could in theory do something about it then the institutions required would be unreliable, and one would be better off without them. Thus the mainstream has worked as if it were realistic to ignore even the possibility of radical uncertainty. But one needs some conceptualisation of radical uncertainty, such as Keynes’, before one can make such judgments. This paper presents an interpretation, to inform debate. The viewpoint taken here is mathematical, but this is not to deny the value of other views.
Impact of a Drug Shortage on Medication Errors and Clinical Outcomes in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Hughes Kaitlin M. , Goswami Elizabeth S. , Morris Jennifer L. 
Published: January 2016

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the rate of prescribing errors, resulting adverse events, and patient outcomes associated with sedation and analgesia in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) before and during a national shortage of fentanyl and injectable benzodiazepines.
METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed of patients admitted to the PICU with at least 1 prescribed order for a sedative or analgesic agent during the time periods of January to February of 2011 and 2012. Initial orders for sedative and analgesic agents were identified and investigated for appropriateness of dose and were assessed for error-associated adverse events. Orders were stratified by timing in regard to clinical pharmacist on-site availability. Demographic and outcome information, including unintended extubations, ventilator days, and PICU length of stay, were gathered.
RESULTS: One hundred sixty-nine orders representing 72 patients and 179 orders representing 75 patients in 2011 and 2012, respectively, were included in analysis. No differences were found in the rate of prescribing errors in 2011 and 2012 (33 errors in 169 orders vs. 39 errors in 179 orders, respectively, p=0.603). No differences were found in rates of prescribing errors in regard to clinical pharmacist on-site availability. A significant increase was seen in unintended extubations per 100 ventilator days, with 0.15 in 2011 vs. 1.13 in 2012, respectively (p&lt;0.001). A significant decrease was seen in ventilator days per patient (p&lt;0.001) and PICU length of stay per patient (p=0.019).
CONCLUSIONS: There were no differences in rates of prescribing errors before versus during the fentanyl and benzodiazepine shortage.

Published: January 2016

En el presente artículo, se revisan algunas investigaciones y publicaciones relevantes donde se analizan aspectos vinculados con la inclusión de la memoria en la enseñanza de la historia (en los casos de Italia y, en mayor medida, Japón) y la conexión existente entre política y gestión de la memoria. Respecto a este último asunto, se evidencia la importancia de la política en relación a la selección y los olvidos en la memoria institucional y cómo los rituales conmemorativos o la construcción de una historia oficial implican un posicionamiento respecto a la memoria. Se observan posicionamientos políticos que determinan la selección de la memoria en la Historia oficial que, al mismo tiempo, es enseñada en los centros educativos.

Published: January 2016

Abstract
We report on the fabrication and electrical transport properties of gate-tunable superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), made from a semiconducting PbS nanowire contacted with PbIn superconducting electrodes. With a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plane of the nanohybrid SQUID, periodic oscillations of the critical current due to the flux quantization in SQUID are observed up to T = 4.0 K. A nonsinusoidal current–phase relationship is obtained as a function of temperature and gate voltage, which is consistent with a short and diffusive junction model.

Abstract
We measured detailed photophysical properties of 1,4-bis(4-trifluoromethylstyryl)benzene (3PV-CF3). 3PV-CF3 showed a high fluorescence quantum efficiency and a high radiative rate constant. Furthermore, we evaluated the emission behavior of 3PV-CF3 under excitation of femtosecond laser pulses. Microcrystals of 3PV-CF3 were prepared easily by spin-coating, and were confirmed for amplified spontaneous emission. It has a low threshold of 34 µJ cm−2.
The role of PfEMP1 as targets of naturally acquired immunity to childhood malaria: prospects for a vaccine
Authors: BULL PETER C. , ABDI ABDIRAHMAN I. 
Published: January 2016

SUMMARYThePlasmodium falciparumerythrocyte membrane protein 1 antigens that are inserted onto the surface ofP. falciparuminfected erythrocytes play a key role both in the pathology of severe malaria and as targets of naturally acquired immunity. They might be considered unlikely vaccine targets because they are extremely diverse. However, several lines of evidence suggest that underneath this molecular diversity there are a restricted set of epitopes which may act as effective targets for a vaccine against severe malaria. Here we review some of the recent developments in this area of research, focusing on work that has assessed the potential of these molecules as possible vaccine targets.
To what Extent do Australian Health Policy Documents address Social Determinants of Health and Health Equity?
Authors: FISHER MATTHEW , BAUM FRANCES E. , MACDOUGALL COLIN , NEWMAN LAREEN , MCDERMOTT DENNIS 
Published: January 2016

AbstractEvidence on social determinants of health and health equity (SDH/HE) is abundant but often not translated into effective policy action by governments. Governments’ health policies have continued to privilege medical care and individualised behaviour-change strategies. In the light of these limitations, the 2008 Commission on the Social Determinants of Health called on health agencies to adopt a stewardship role; to take action themselves and engage other government sectors in addressing SDH/HE. This article reports on research using analysis of health policy documents – published by nine Australian national or regional governments – to examine the extent to which the Australian health sector has taken up such a role.We found policies across all jurisdictions commonly recognised evidence on SDH/HE and expressed goals to improve health equity. However, these goals were predominantly operationalised in health care and other individualised strategies. Relatively few strategies addressed SDH/HE outside of access to health care, and often they were limited in scope. National policies on Aboriginal health did most to systemically address SDH/HE.We used Kingdon's (2011) multiple streams theory to examine how problems, policies and politics combine to enable, partially allow, or prevent action on SDH/HE in Australian health policy.
Psychoneuroendocrinology: A Scientific Domain of the Future or a Dream From the Past?
Authors: Brambilla Francesca 
Published: January 2016

AbstractPsychoneuroendocrinology (PNE) has been a method used in the past to investigate brain biochemical functions in normal and pathological mentation. These studies have subsequently uncovered variations in normal biochemical functioning. It is still being debated, however, how these variations correlate with well-defined psychopathologies.Future studies in PNE shows promise in many areas of contemporary neurospychiatry. For example, research focusing on variations in neurotransmitter, neuropeptide, and neurohormone secretory tonus might enhance our understanding of specific personality characteristics and behavior. PNE may also be essential in investigating the correlation between hormonal variations and symptoms observed across various psychiatric disorders. PNE might likewise be important for new therapeutic approaches. Finally, PNE can be used to investigate psychoneuroimmunoendocrine relationships.New PNE methodologies must be developed to make this branch of neuroscience more appropriate for the study of localized brain functions.

Is costly punishment altruistic? Exploring rejection of unfair offers in the Ultimatum Game in real-world altruists
Authors: Brethel-Haurwitz Kristin M. , Stoycos Sarah A. , Cardinale Elise M. , Huebner Bryce , Marsh Abigail A. 
Published: January 2016

AbstractIn the Ultimatum Game (UG), incurring a cost to punish inequity is commonly termed altruistic punishment. This behaviour is thought to benefit others if the defector becomes more equitable in future interactions. However, clear connections between punishment in the UG and altruistic behaviours outside the laboratory are lacking. We tested the altruistic punishment hypothesis in a sample of extraordinarily altruistic adults, predicting that if punishing inequity is predictive of altruism more broadly, extraordinary altruists should punish more frequently. Results showed that punishment was not more prevalent in extraordinary altruists than controls. However, a self-reported altruism measure previously linked to peer evaluations but not behaviour and on which extraordinary altruists and controls did not differ, did predict punishment. These findings support suggestions that altruistic punishment in the UG is better termed costly punishment and may be motivated by social, but not necessarily prosocial, concerns. Results also support prior suggestions that self-reported altruism may not reliably predict altruistic behaviour.
Habituation of visual adaptation
Authors: Dong Xue , Gao Yi , Lv Lili , Bao Min 
Published: January 2016

AbstractOur sensory system adjusts its function driven by both shorter-term (e.g. adaptation) and longer-term (e.g. learning) experiences. Most past adaptation literature focuses on short-term adaptation. Only recently researchers have begun to investigate how adaptation changes over a span of days. This question is important, since in real life many environmental changes stretch over multiple days or longer. However, the answer to the question remains largely unclear. Here we addressed this issue by tracking perceptual bias (also known as aftereffect) induced by motion or contrast adaptation across multiple daily adaptation sessions. Aftereffects were measured every day after adaptation, which corresponded to the degree of adaptation on each day. For passively viewed adapters, repeated adaptation attenuated aftereffects. Once adapters were presented with an attentional task, aftereffects could either reduce for easy tasks, or initially show an increase followed by a later decrease for demanding tasks. Quantitative analysis of the decay rates in contrast adaptation showed that repeated exposure of the adapter appeared to be equivalent to adaptation to a weaker stimulus. These results suggest that both attention and a non-attentional habituation-like mechanism jointly determine how adaptation develops across multiple daily sessions.
Flexible‐structured phase‐shifted multiple‐full‐bridge DC–DC power supply with wide range output
Authors: Zhang Di , Zhang Donglai 
Published: January 2016

A novel hybrid topology with the optimised structure for wide range output power supply is proposed in this study. The phase‐shifted multiple‐full‐bridge (PSMFB) converter is composed of multiple full‐bridge DC–DC power converters and high‐frequency transformers. For different requirements, it guarantees the power capacity with several smaller high‐frequency transformers and a smaller filter by a PSMFB with proper design. With the control strategy of only one phase‐shifted controller, all the modules can fulfil the output change with the phase‐shifted angle. The effectiveness of the proposed converter was verified using simulation and experimental results of a 1 kW converter system.
A rigorous comparison of sexual selection indexes via simulations of diverse mating systems
Authors: Henshaw Jonathan M. , Kahn Andrew T. , Fritzsche Karoline 
Published: January 2016

SignificanceHow does sexual selection differ between males and females? What is its role in the speciation process? Answering such questions requires a reliable method to measure sexual selection, so that we can compare its strength between the sexes and across taxa. The development of appropriate measures has led to sustained controversy, however, with no measure being widely accepted. We provide to our knowledge the first rigorous comparison of indexes of sexual selection. Our results unambiguously support the use of a recently defined measure, the Jones index, over more established indexes of sexual selection such as the Bateman gradient.
Explanation and Relevance: Comments on James G. Greeno's ‘Theoretical Entities in Statistical Explanation’
Authors: Salmon Wesley C. 
Published: January 2016

Since Professor Greeno's paper is, to my mind, both philosophically interesting and somewhat technical, it seems to me that the most useful function I can serve as a commentator is to try to provide some of the background necessary to understand the paper, and to attempt to put his discussion in some philosophical perspective. My main aim will be to relate his discussion to the issues that have been at the forefront of the philosophical discussion of scientific explanation in recent years.It would be hard to dispute the claim that Professor Carl HempePs work has dominated the discussion of the nature of scientific explanation for the last twenty-two years - since the publication of the classic article with Paul Oppenheim on the logic of explanation.
Capacities and Natures
Authors: Fisk Milton 
Published: January 2016

The last two decades have witnessed a basic change in the philosopher's working model for capacities. The change has been from a stimulus-response model to a fine-structure model. The stimulus-response model was an attempt to understand capacity propositions by means of conditional propositions in which the antecedents expressed operations in certain circumstances and the consequents expressed realizations of the capacities in question. No attempt is made on this model to relate such conditional propositions to components of the entities with the capacities. An entity with a capacity is just a black box.Now the conditional proposition to which a capacity proposition is related on the stimulus-response model is a modal conditional. It expresses the idea that the behavior characteristic of the capacity must follow upon those operations in those circumstances for an entity like one with the capacity.
