Solving puzzles about the casting method of bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty
Authors: Feng Li 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThis paper puts forward a new interpretation about the casting techniques of Western Zhou bronze inscriptions, especially those cast in raised grids. In fuller consideration of the various phenomena seen on the bronzes, this paper suggests a nine-step workflow in which transitional molds were employed to produce the real casting core with raised texts to be used for final casting. This new theory not only fully explains the production of long inscriptions with sunken texts and raised grids, but also explains the technical details behind a number of recently discovered special inscriptions.
On the emergence of the domestic chicken as seen from finds of bronze chickens in southwestern China
Authors: Shi Jinsong 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThis paper focuses on the bronze chickens unearthed in southwestern China dating back to the time from the Shang to the Han Dynasties. Among them, one bronze rooster from the pit No. 2 at the Sanxingdui Site looks similar to domestic chicken in appearance. Since it was unearthed together with bronze birds symbolizing the Sun, we may deduce that the bronze rooster probably symbolizes an idea that rooster crows at sunrise. In addition, most other bronze chickens unearthed in southwestern China are used as staff-head. This pattern perhaps is related to the fact that rooster crows and can be used for timing. The author concludes that the study of these bronze chickens, including their typology and archaeological background within the context of the biological habits of relevant animals as well as corresponding cultural phenomena, can to a certain extent help us identify the species of such animal-shaped artifacts and further supplement the identification criteria of domesticated animals.
Caprid kill-off patterns and secondary product exploitation at Xinzhai Site, Henan Province
Authors: Dai Lingling , Li Zhipeng , Hu Yaowu , Zhao Chunqing , Wang Changsui 
Published: November 2015

AbstractAnalysis of the faunal assemblage unearthed from Xinzhai since 2002 suggests that the number of caprids (sheep and goats) increased rapidly starting in Phase II. The percentage of caprids in the Number of Identified Specimens (NISP) and Minimum Number of Individuals (MNI) counts is second only to pigs, which indicates that caprids were one of the most important domestic animals at the site. Age profiles based on tooth eruption/wear and epiphyseal fusion showed that a large percentage (more than 70%) of caprids lived to adulthood through older ages while less than 30% of them were killed between the ages of six months to two years old. This pattern is similar to what has also been found at the site of Taosi. At both Xinzhai and Taosi, caprid kill-off patterns are more similar to what is expected due to wool exploitation rather than meat exploration. Therefore, people in the China’s Central Plains utilized animal resources in diverse ways at the end of the Neolithic.
Post-delivery evaluation of morphological change in vein of galen aneurysmal malformation – possible parameter of long-term prognosis

Abstract
Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a rare congenital vascular malformation of the central nervous system. Although recent advances in the endovascular treatment and management of neonatal heart failure have resulted in reduced mortality and morbidity, the long-term neurodevelopmental prognosis is not well described. We encounterred a case of prenatally diagnosed VGAM, which was successfully treated, resulting in a favorable neurodevelopmental outcome. In this case, although an emergency intravascular operation was performed due to the post-delivery exacerbation of heart failure, the aneurysmal volume evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging just before the operation was not increased as compared with the prenatal value assessed by ultrasonography. This suggests that the stability of the VGAM volume even under exacerbation of heart failure is a potential parameter to predict the long-term neurodevelopmental prognosis.
Unprecedented bilateral humeral shaft fracture after cesarean section due to epileptic seizure per se
Authors: Kasapoglu Taner , Yalvac Serdar , Tapisiz Omer Lutfi , Kandemir Omer 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Despite the fact that spontaneous (non-traumatic) bilateral humeral fractures without trauma are seen as a rare entity, especially grand mal epileptic convulsions may result in these types of fracture in the adult. A 32-year-old early postpartum patient without osteoporosis and with a history of epilepsy is presented here. She had not used anticonvulsant drugs for nearly ten years. After a convulsive epileptic attack on the day of a cesarean section, bilateral humeral shaft fractures were diagnosed on the 5th postpartum day causing bilateral shoulder pain. An earlier chest anteroposterior X-ray including the humerus would be a help in order to perform earlier diagnosis. It should be taken into consideration that humeral bone fractures may happen without any trauma especially in early postpartum patients. A high degree of suspicion should be kept in mind while treating a patient in the post-ictal phase; as, if treated promptly, treatment leads to complete functional recovery.
Severe neonatal infection secondary to prenatal transmembranous ascending vaginal candidiasis
Authors: Rendtorff Rosa , Weichert Alexander , Hinkson Larry , Henrich Wolfgang , Berns Monika 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Fungal neonatal infection with Candida is rare, despite a prevalence of vaginal mycosis of up to 30% during pregnancy. Although there are no recommendations to treat asymptomatic vaginal colonization with candida in healthy pregnant women, this case report highlights that asymptomatic colonization with Candida can lead to chorioamnionitis and systemic neonatal infection with leukemoid reaction. Treatment of asymptomatic candida colonization in women at risk of preterm delivery should be considered.
Heidegger und das Judentum: Vom Aufruf zur „völligen Vernichtung“ zur Thematisierung der „Selbstvernichtung“
Authors: Faye Emmanuel 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
This article examines the continuities between Martin Heidegger’s anti-Semitic statements already known in his letters and seminars and those recently brought to light with the publication of his first Black Notebooks in the Complete Works. It takes its distances from the attempts to elevate that anti-Semitism to a level that is metaphysical, or inscribed in “the history of being,” and shows that Heidegger’s anti-Semitism, like his conception of the “German essence,” his fear of a “deracification” (Entrassung) of Germanity, and his statements about the “self-extermination” of Judaism all participate in the National-Socialist worldview and find forms of expression that are in keeping with the historical and military events of the years 1938-1946.
Nationalsozialismus, Antisemitismus und Philosophie bei Heidegger und Scheler – zu Trawnys Heidegger und der Mythos der jüdischen Weltverschwörung
Authors: Fritsche Johannes 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
According to Trawny, Heidegger’s Black Notebooks show that his thinking could be “contaminated” by National Socialism and anti-Semitism only between 1931 and 1944/1945. However, in this paper it is argued that already in Being and Time (1927) Heidegger had made a case for National Socialism, which he discovered in 1938 − the ‘true’ National Socialism -, and that Trawny’s main criterion is false. Heidegger’s case is compared with Max Scheler, who, because of Hitler, turned from the right to the centre. In addition, alternatives to Trawny’s detailed interpretations of three of Heidegger’s anti-Semitic remarks are offered, and the anti-Semitic aspects of Heidegger’s history of Being are presented.
Verbrechen, Verbrechensbekämpfung und Telegrafie. Kriminalhistorische Perspektiven auf die Entkoppelung von Transport und Kommunikation im langen 19. Jahrhundert.
Authors: Wenzlhuemer Roland 
Published: November 2015

Zusammenfassung
Spätestens mit der festen fachlichen Etablierung der Globalgeschichte hat die Geschichtswissenschaft überregionale und globale Verbindungen als wirtschaftlich, sozial und kulturell prägende Faktoren in den Blick genommen. Vielen Studien in diesem Bereich liegt die implizite Annahme zugrunde, dass eine Zunahme und Intensivierung globaler Verbindungen auf die verbundenen Gesellschaften und Akteure auf eine Art und Weise zurückwirkt, die dort zu substanziellen Veränderungen führt. Während sich dies in vielen Fällen natürlich als zutreffend erweist, verstellt eine solche Grundannahme dennoch den analytischen Blick auf die Schnittstelle zwischen globaler Verbindung und deren lokaler Manifestation. Dieser Artikel leuchtet anhand des Beispiels telegrafischer Vernetzung im 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert genau diese Schnittstelle besser aus und identifiziert den Bruchpunkt, an welchem ein Mehr an Konnektivität in eine qualitative Veränderung der Verbindung, eine neue Form von Verbindung umschlägt. Die zu diesem Zweck untersuchten Fallstudien stammen aus dem Bereich des Verbrechens beziehungsweise der Verbrechensbekämpfung per Telegraf. Dieses Feld eignet sich aufgrund seiner engen Verbindung zu Fragen von Kontrolle und Kontrollevasion besonders gut, um die durch die Vernetzung forcierten qualitativen Veränderungen greifbar zu machen.
Visual Attention and Choice: A Behavioral Economics Perspective on Food Decisions
Authors: Grebitus Carola , Roosen Jutta , Seitz Carolin Claudia 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Food decisions receive a lot of attention from multiple disciplines. In this context, choice experiments are often used to determine consumers’ preferences and willingness to pay for food product attributes. The design of choice experiments and its influence on measurement of consumer choices has received great consideration. This study analyzes the influence of visual attention on the final choice by combining choice experiments with eye tracking. Furthermore, the role of attention on more or less complex choices is investigated by using two treatments with three-attribute and five-attribute designs. We find that visual attention affects decision making of the average individual but there is heterogeneity in behavior present as to how much attention influences choice. Furthermore, results show that visual attention predicts choice more in the choice experiment with the three-attribute design than in the choice experiment with the five-attribute design.
Towards Alternative Ways to Measure Attitudes Related to Consumption: Introducing Startle Reflex Modulation
Authors: Koller Monika , Walla Peter 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Evolution provided us with the important feature of affective information processing, which is designed to detect potentially harmful and appetitive sources in a dynamic environment. Transferred into the modern world of consumption research, we are interested in studying this particular approach versus avoidance behavior. We call it affective information processing which is the underlying basis of all emotions and a significant part of attitudes relevant to consumption. This paper provides conceptual and measurement-related reflections on our understanding of attitudes and emotions relevant to consumption.
Cognitive Neuroscience Perspectives on Food Decision-Making: A Brief Introduction
Authors: Lepping Rebecca J. , Papa Vlad B. , Martin Laura E. 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Cognitive neuroscience methods have recently been employed to examine the neural underpinnings of food-related decision-making. The emerging field of food decision neuroscience uses cognitive neuroscience tools such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study how individuals make decisions regarding food intake, purchasing, branding, and advertising. These tools can be employed to inform marketing strategies, advertising, and product differentiation. Results can also be leveraged to aid in the design of food labeling and policy for obesity, advertising to children, and others. While these tools have the promise for advancing agricultural science as well as informing food related policy, there are some potential pitfalls when applying these techniques to new fields. The goal of this paper is to outline some of the major tools used by cognitive neuroscience – beginning with experimental design and behavioral measures, and then followed by a discussion of some of the neuroimaging tools (fMRI, electroencephalography and event-related potentials [EEG/ERP], and magnetoencephalography [MEG]) – and to highlight how those tools have been used to understand food decision-making.
A model for longitudinal tensile strength prediction of low braiding angle three-dimensional and four-directional composites
Authors: Hui Yuan , Weidong Wen , Yi Wang , Zhenshan Zheng , Xiong Wu 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
Based on random crack core theory, a model for predicting the longitudinal tensile strength of three-dimensional (3D) four-directional composites with low braiding angle is established. The model carries out accurate theoretical predictions of the longitudinal tensile strength of 3D four-directional braided carbon fiber/resin composites. The average stiffness method is used to calculate elastic constants of an inner single cell of 3D four-directional braided composites. Meanwhile, the corresponding relationship between failure probability of a unidirectional composite fiber bundle and stress level is given based on the random crack core model of the longitudinal tensile strength of a unidirectional composite. Furthermore, strength algorithms of low braiding angle 3D four-directional composites under different damage modes are built on the basis of the Tsai-Hill criterion. In this paper, the dispersion of single fiber strength is also considered in the model, so the size effect of the composite strength can be reflected effectively. At last, the longitudinal tensile strength of 3D four-directional braided carbon fiber/resin composites is predicted and analyzed, and the result shows that this model has high prediction accuracy.
Explanation of the Quantum-Mechanical Particle-Wave Duality through the Emission of Watt-Less Gravitational Waves by the Dirac Equation
Authors: Winterberg Friedwardt 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
An explanation of the quantum-mechanical particle-wave duality is given by the watt-less emission of gravitational waves from a particle described by the Dirac equation. This explanation is possible through the existence of negative energy, and hence negative mass solutions of Einstein’s gravitational field equations. They permit to understand the Dirac equation as the equation for a gravitationally bound positive–negative mass (pole–dipole particle) two-body configuration, with the mass of the Dirac particle equal to the positive mass of the gravitational field binding the positive with the negative mass particle, and with the mass particles making a luminal “Zitterbewegung” (quivering motion), emitting a watt-less oscillating positive–negative space curvature wave. It is shown that this thusly produced “Zitterbewegung” reproduces the quantum potential of the Madelung-transformed Schrödinger equation. The watt-less gravitational wave emitted by the quivering particles is conjectured to be de Broglie’s pilot wave. The hypothesised connection of the Dirac equation to gravitational wave physics could, with the failure to detect gravitational waves by the LIGO antennas and pulsar timing arrays, give a clue to extended theories of gravity, or a correction of astrophysical models for the generation of such waves.

Dendritic voltage-gated ion channels profoundly shape the integrative properties of neuronal dendrites. In epilepsy, numerous changes in dendritic ion channels have been described, all of them due to either their altered transcription or phosphorylation. In pilocarpine-treated chronically epileptic rats, we describe a novel mechanism that causes an increased proximal dendritic persistent Na+current (INaP). We demonstrate using a combination of electrophysiology and molecular approaches that the upregulation of dendriticINaPis due to a relief from polyamine-dependent inhibition. The polyamine deficit in hippocampal neurons is likely caused by an upregulation of the degrading enzyme spermidine/spermine acetyltransferase. Multiphoton glutamate uncaging experiments revealed that the increase in dendriticINaPcauses augmented dendritic summation of excitatory inputs. These results establish a novel post-transcriptional modification of ion channels in chronic epilepsy and may provide a novel avenue for treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTIn this paper, we describe a novel mechanism that causes increased dendritic persistent Na+current.

Published: November 2015

Newly generated dentate granule cells (GCs) are relevant for input discrimination in the adult hippocampus. Yet, their precise contribution to information processing remains unclear. To address this question, it is essential to develop approaches to precisely label entire cohorts of adult-born GCs. In this work, we used genetically modified mice to allow conditional expression of tdTomato (Tom) in adult-born GCs and characterized their development and functional integration.Ascl1CreERT2;CAGfloxStopTomandGlastCreERT2;CAGfloxStopTommice resulted in indelible expression of Tom in adult neural stem cells and their lineage upon tamoxifen induction. Whole-cell recordings were performed to measure intrinsic excitability, firing behavior, and afferent excitatory connectivity. Developing GCs were also staged by the expression of early and late neuronal markers. The slow development of adult-born GCs characterized here is consistent with previous reports using retroviral approaches that have revealed that a mature phenotype is typically achieved after 6–8 weeks. Our findings demonstrate thatAscl1CreERT2andGlastCreERT2mouse lines enable simple and reliable labeling of adult-born GC lineages within restricted time windows. Therefore, these mice greatly facilitate tagging new neurons and manipulating their activity, required for understanding adult neurogenesis in the context of network remodeling, learning, and behavior.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTOur study shows thatAscl1CreERT2andGlastCreERT2mice lines can be used to label large cohorts of adult-born dentate granule cells with excellent time resolution. Neurons labeled in this manner display developmental and functional profiles that are in full agreement with previous findings using thymidine analogs and retroviral labeling, thus providing an alternative approach to tackle fundamental questions on circuit remodeling. Because of the massive neuronal targeting and the simplicity of this method, genetic labeling will contribute to expand research on adult neurogenesis.

Published: November 2015

ObjectiveThyroid disorders are common in women of reproductive age, but the exact burden of disease before, during and after a pregnancy is not clear. We describe the prevalence of thyroid disease in women enrolled in the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC) and investigate some of its risk factors.DesignPopulation-based study within the DNBC, which included 101 032 pregnancies (1997–2003).MethodsWe studied women enrolled in the DNBC who gave birth to a live-born child. Information on maternal thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, benign goiter/nodules, thyroid cancer, and other) before, during and up to 5 years after the woman's first pregnancy in the cohort was obtained from self-report (telephone interview in median gestational week 17) and from nationwide registers on hospital diagnosis of thyroid disease/thyroid surgery (from 1977) and prescriptions of thyroid drugs (from 1995).ResultsOf the 77 445 women studied, 3018 (3.9%) were identified with an onset of thyroid disease before (2.0%), during (0.1%) or in the 5-year period after the pregnancy (1.8%). During the pregnancy, 153 (0.2%) women received antithyroid drugs and 365 (0.5%) received thyroid hormone for hypothyroidism (83 after previous hyperthyroidism, 42 after previous surgery for benign goiter/nodules or thyroid cancer). Significant risk factors for maternal thyroid disease were age, parity, origin, iodine intake, smoking, alcohol, and BMI.ConclusionsAround 4% of Danish pregnant women had either a history of thyroid disease or thyroid disease during pregnancy or were diagnosed with thyroid disease for the first-time in the years following a pregnancy. The spectrum of thyroid disease was influenced by demographic and environmental factors.
