Abstract
Children with autism spectrum disorder often demonstrate unusual behavioral responses to sensory stimuli (i.e., sensory features). To manage everyday activities, caregivers may implement strategies to address these features during family routines. However, investigation of specific strategies used by caregivers is limited by the lack of empirically developed measures. In this study, we describe the development and pilot results of the Caregiver Strategies Inventory (CSI), a supplement to the Sensory Experiences Questionnaire Version 3.0 (SEQ 3.0; Baranek, 2009) that measures caregivers’ strategies in response to their children’s sensory features. Three conceptually derived and empirically grounded strategy types were tested: cognitive–behavioral, sensory–perceptual, and avoidance. Results indicated that the CSI demonstrated good internal consistency and that strategy use was related to child age and cognition. Moreover, parent feedback after completing the CSI supported its utility and social validity. The CSI may be used alongside the SEQ 3.0 to facilitate a family-centered approach to assessment and intervention planning.

El legado cultural de Sierra Leona en Bioko. Comparativa de dos espacios de criollización africana
Authors: Aranzadi Isabela 
Published: June 2016

El grupo de los criollos fernandinos o crió en Malabo, comparte su historia con la ciudad de Malabo. Esta comunidad criolla se gestó preservando un status basándose en el origen de sus habitantes. Los procedentes de Freetown constituyeron el núcleo más importante. Establecemos comparativas entre los procesos de criolizaciónen Freetown y Bioko, asentamientos de esclavos liberados con diferentes orígenes, una estratificación y el papel de socialización llevado por un grupo de más peso, a través de la acogida en los hogares y de la labor de la escuela y la iglesia. En Freetown serían el grupo de los Black Loyalists y de los cimarrones y en Bioko los denominados “sierraleonas” los que introdujeron esta ideología adscrita a una identidad británica, heredera del impulsoabolicionista. Encontramos un “purismo étnico” entre los krio de Freetown y entre los crió de Malabo. Ello supone especiales atribuciones en algunos ritos que forman parte del ñánkue o bonkó -rito-danza heredado de Calabar y Cuba conservado hasta hoy ysímbolo en la navidad malabeña. El tambor cuadrado con patas cumbé y el rito-danza del ñánkue han experimentado un proceso de adaptación a un nuevo entorno, en el que la música ocupa un espacio social interétnico. El cumbé es un tambor africano utilizadoen Jamaica y posteriormente en Freetown llevado por los cimarrones cuya cultura llega a Bioko con los “sierraleonas”. Esta africanidad se inserta en una identidad criolla en la que la tarea civilizadora y la adscripción a una identidad británica, requisitos en el impulso abolicionista, continuaron prevaleciendo en las complejas trayectorias de poblaciones descendientes de esclavos liberados, desde Sierra Leona hasta Bioko.
La oposición guineana entre dos “diálogos nacionales” (1993-2014)

Guinea Ecuatorial, país de poco más de 28.000 Kilómetros cuadradosde extensión y unos 700.000 habitantes, explota una gran cantidad de petróleo desde el año 1.996 y vive desde 1991 un atípico proceso político. Obiang Nguema, el dictador que ocupa y ejerce el poder de forma absoluta y omnímoda desde que en el año 1.979 derrocara a su tío y valedor Macías (presidente desde la Independencia en 1.968) delque era un estrecho colaborador, prometió democratizar el país al viento del discurso de Mitterrand en La Baule (1990). En noviembre del año pasado (2014) tuvo lugar la llamada V Mesa de Diálogo Nacional, cuyo resultado es la constatación de que 23 años después de la legalización de los partidos políticos, y 22 años desde la firma del Pacto Nacional (I Mesa de Diálogo) dicho proceso no ha avanzado. El reflejo del fracaso fue el abandono de la V Mesa de Diálogo por CPDS, FDR y la facción legítima de UP, tres de los pocos grupos a los que se les puede denominar con propiedad oposición. Pues el resto de los partidos legalizados que participaron, aunque el régimen pretende hacerlos pasar por oposición, son partidos que apoyan y están en el gobierno del PDGE, partido de Obiang. Y los que participaron procedentes del exilio, son una ínfima parte de los más de treinta grupos políticos guineo-ecuatorianos que hay en el exilio. Un exilio, por cierto, atípico: pues muchos exiliados han hecho, en los últimos años, varios viajes de ida y vuelta a Guinea. Una oposición fragmentada, por tanto debilitada, incapaz de organizarse y tener madera de alternativa. Y la dictadura sigue, porque poder y oposición, en elementos claves de la institucionalidad, tienen los mismos comportamientos: apego a los cargos, laxitud ante las leyes, falta de objetivos y programas. Pero mientras Obiang viola las leyes para mantenerse (lubricado por el petróleo), la misma actitud le impide a la oposición organizarse y tener una cierta unidad de acción.
La protesta de los jefes en 1948. Una tradición oral nacionalista en Guinea Ecuatorial
Authors: Álvarez Chillida Gonzalo 
Published: June 2016

En 1948 varios jefes de la zona continental de la Guinea española entregaron a una comisión de tres ministros que visitaba la colonia dos escritos de protesta por la situación de los nativos. El de Mikomeseng, localidad fronteriza con el agitado Camerún, mereció el castigo de sus dos principales promotores. A diferencia de similares protestas anteriores, la de 1948 se transmitió oralmente y desde los años sesenta los nacionalistas la convirtieron en el origen de su movimiento.
Subjunctive and subject pronoun realization: a study of "no creo que"
Authors: Harrington Sophie , Pérez-Leroux Ana Teresa 
Published: June 2016

Subjunctive mood in complement clauses is licensed under selection from certain predicates or under the scope of a modal or negation. In contexts where mood choice varies, such as the complement of a negated epistemic verb no creer, it introduces a contrast in interpretation. The subjunctive is thought to contribute to a shift in the modal anchoring of the embedded clause, and is consequently interpreted as indicative of a dissociation between the epistemic models of the speaker and the subject. We provide evidence that these uses also interact with pragmatic context. Given independent claims that 1) the overt realization of first person subject pronouns is contrastive and 2) it generally serves to anchor discourse to the speaker’s perspective and 3) overt use is particularly frequent with epistemic verbs, we examined the interaction between negation, first person subject pronoun realization, and mood of the dependent clause for the verb creer. An analysis of oral speech from the Proyecto de Habla Culta revealed that for negative sentences (no creo que), yo is overtly realized more frequently for cases with exceptional indicative dependents than for those with canonical subjunctive dependents; there was no association with mood for affirmative uses of creer. These results support analyses where negation has specific scope over the contrastive subject, rather than over the epistemic clause. As a consequence, the matrix proposition remains an assertion and use of indicative complements is licensed.
Estimation of seismic wave velocity at seafloor surface and sound source localization based on transmitted wave observation with an ocean bottom seismometer offshore of Kamaishi, Japan
Authors: Iwase Ryoichi 
Published: June 2016

AbstractAn in situ method of estimating the seismic wave velocity at the seafloor surface by observing the particle motion of a wave transmitted into the sediment is presented; this method uses a sound source whose location is known. Conversely, a sound source localization method using the obtained seismic velocities and involving particle motion observation is also presented. Although this method is applicable only when the sound source exists within the critical incidence angle range, it is expected to contribute to the tracing of vocalizing baleen whales, which are unknown around Japanese waters.

AbstractWe report simultaneous observation of ELF/VLF emissions, showing similar spectral and frequency features, between a VLF receiver at Athabasca (ATH), Canada, (L = 4.3) and Van Allen Probes A (Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) A). Using a statistical database from 1 November 2012 to 31 October 2013, we compared a total of 347 emissions observed on the ground with observations made by RBSP in the magnetosphere. On 25 February 2013, from 12:46 to 13:39 UT in the dawn sector (04–06 magnetic local time (MLT)), we observed a quasiperiodic (QP) emission centered at 4 kHz, and an accompanying short pulse lasting less than a second at 4.8 kHz in the dawn sector (04–06 MLT). RBSP A wave data showed both emissions as right‐hand polarized with their Poynting vector earthward to the Northern Hemisphere. Using cross‐correlation analysis, we did, for the first time, time delay analysis of a conjugate ELF/VLF event between ground and space, finding +2 to +4 s (ATH first) for the QP and −3 s (RBSP A first) for the pulse. Using backward tracing from ATH to the geomagnetic equator and forward tracing from the equator to RBSP A, based on plasmaspheric density observed by the spacecraft, we validate a possible propagation path for the QP emission which is consistent with the observed time delay.
Reconstruction of the East Africa and Antarctica continental margins

Published: June 2016

AbstractThe Early Jurassic separation of Antarctica from Africa plays an important role in our understanding of the dispersal of Gondwana and Pangea. Previous reconstruction models contain overlaps and gaps in the restored margins that reflect difficulties in accurately delineating the continent‐ocean‐boundary (COB) and determining the amount and distribution of extended continental crust. This study focuses on the evolution of the African margin adjacent to the Mozambique Basin and the conjugate Antarctic margin near the Riiser‐Larsen Sea. Satellite‐derived gravity data have been used to trace the orientations and landward limits of fracture zones. A 3‐D gravity inversion has produced a crustal thickness model that reliably quantifies the extent and amount of stretched crust. Crustal thicknesses together with fracture zone terminations reveal COBs that are significantly closer to the African and Antarctic coasts than previously recognized. Correlation of fracture zone azimuths and identified COBs suggests Antarctica began drifting away from Africa at approximately 171 Ma in a roughly SSE direction. An areal‐balancing method has been used to restore the crust to a uniform prerift thickness so as to perform a nonrigid reconstruction for both nonvolcanic and volcanic margins. Both margins reveal a trend of increasing extension from east to west. Our results suggest Africa underwent extension of 60–120 km, while Antarctic crust was stretched by 105–180 km. Various models tested to determine the direction of extension during rifting suggest that Antarctica moved away from Africa in a WNW‐ESE direction during the period between 184 and 171 Ma prior to the onset of seafloor spreading.
Atmospheric forcing of the upper ocean transport in the Gulf of Mexico: From seasonal to diurnal scales
Authors: Judt Falko , Chen Shuyi S. , Curcic Milan 
Published: June 2016

AbstractThe 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) was an environmental disaster, which highlighted the urgent need to predict the transport and dispersion of hydrocarbon. Although the variability of the atmospheric forcing plays a major role in the upper ocean circulation and transport of the pollutants, the air‐sea interaction on various time scales is not well understood. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the atmospheric forcing and upper ocean response in the GoM from seasonal to diurnal time scales, using climatologies derived from long‐term observations, in situ observations from two field campaigns, and a coupled model. The atmospheric forcing in the GoM is characterized by striking seasonality. In the summer, the time‐average large‐scale forcing is weak, despite occasional extreme winds associated with hurricanes. In the winter, the atmospheric forcing is much stronger, and dominated by synoptic variability on time scales of 3–7 days associated with winter storms and cold air outbreaks. The diurnal cycle is more pronounced during the summer, when sea breeze circulations affect the coastal regions and nighttime wind maxima occur over the offshore waters. Realtime predictions from a high‐resolution atmosphere‐wave‐ocean coupled model were evaluated for both summer and winter conditions during the Grand LAgrangian Deployment (GLAD) in July–August 2012 and the Surfzone Coastal Oil Pathways Experiment (SCOPE) in November–December 2013. The model generally captured the variability of atmospheric forcing on all scales, but suffered from some systematic errors.

AbstractAerosol hygroscopicity was investigated using a novel dryer‐humidifier system, coupled to a TSI‐3563 nephelometer, to obtain the light scattering coefficient (σscat) as a function of relative humidity (RH) in hydration and dehydration modes. The measurements were performed in Porterville, CA (10 January to 6 February 2013), Baltimore, MD (3–30 July 2013), and Golden, CO (12 July to 10 August 2014). Observations in Porterville and Golden were part of the NASA‐sponsored Deriving Information on Surface Conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality project. The measured σscat under varying RH in the three sites was combined with ground aerosol extinction, PM2.5 mass concentrations, and particle composition measurements and compared with airborne observations performed during campaigns. The enhancement factor, f(RH), defined as the ratio of σscat(RH) at a certain RH divided by σscat at a dry value, was used to evaluate the aerosol hygroscopicity. Particles in Porterville showed low average f(RH = 80%) (1.42) which was attributed to the high carbonaceous loading in the region where residential biomass burning and traffic emissions contribute heavily to air pollution. In Baltimore, the high average f(RH = 80%) (2.06) was attributed to the large contribution of SO42− in the region. The lowest water uptake was observed in Golden, with an average f(RH = 80%) = 1.24 where organic carbon dominated the particle loading. Different empirical fits were evaluated using the f(RH) data. The widely used Kasten (gamma) model was found least satisfactory, as it overestimates f(RH) for RH < 75%. A better empirical fit with two power law curve fitting parameters c and k was found to replicate f(RH) accurately from the three sites. The relationship between the organic carbon mass and the species that are affected by RH and f(RH) was also studied and categorized.
The ionospheric source of magnetospheric plasma is not a black box input for global models
Authors: Welling D. T. , Liemohn M. W. 
Published: June 2016

AbstractIncluding ionospheric outflow in global magnetohydrodynamic models of near‐Earth outer space has become an important step toward understanding the role of this plasma source in the magnetosphere. Of the existing approaches, however, few tie the outflowing particle fluxes to magnetospheric conditions in a self‐consistent manner. Doing so opens the magnetosphere‐ionosphere system to nonlinear mass‐energy feedback loops, profoundly changing the behavior of the magnetosphere‐ionosphere system. Based on these new results, it is time for the community eschew treating ionospheric outflow as a simple black box source of magnetospheric plasma.
New insights into fault activation and stress transfer between en echelon thrusts: The 2012 Emilia, Northern Italy, earthquake sequence

AbstractHere we present the results of the inversion of a new geodetic data set covering the 2012 Emilia seismic sequence and the following 1 year of postseismic deformation. Modeling of the geodetic data together with the use of a catalog of 3‐D relocated aftershocks allows us to constrain the rupture geometries and the coseismic and postseismic slip distributions for the two main events (Mw 6.1 and 6.0) of the sequence and to explore how these thrust events have interacted with each other. Dislocation modeling reveals that the first event ruptured a slip patch located in the center of the Middle Ferrara thrust with up to 1 m of reverse slip. The modeling of the second event, located about 15 km to the southwest, indicates a main patch with up to 60 cm of slip initiated in the deeper and flatter portion of the Mirandola thrust and progressively propagated postseismically toward the top section of the rupture plane, where most of the aftershocks and afterslip occurred. Our results also indicate that between the two main events, a third thrust segment was activated releasing a pulse of aseismic slip equivalent to a Mw 5.8 event. Coulomb stress changes suggest that the aseismic event was likely triggered by the preceding main shock and that the aseismic slip event probably brought the second fault closer to failure. Our findings show significant correlations between static stress changes and seismicity and suggest that stress interaction between earthquakes plays a significant role among continental en echelon thrusts.
Detailed magnetic monitoring of the enhanced magnetism of ferrihydrite along its progressive transformation into hematite

AbstractUnder certain aging conditions, ferrihydrite evolves into hematite through intermediate products of enhanced magnetism. Although the magnetic properties of the end product, hematite, are to date satisfactorily known, those of ferrihydrite (and especially the products of its progressive aging) are not sufficiently explored. To this end, magnetic experiments, conducted mostly by using alternating magnetic fields, have been performed. The results reveal that two‐line ferrihydrite exhibits conspicuous low‐temperature spin glass behavior, a new finding that, on the other hand, could be expected given the previous microstructural observations that described this mineral as a very disordered gel. Upon aging, a progressive increase of the effective magnetic moment per iron ion is detected, in agreement with previous observations that ascribed ferrimagnetic character to an intermediate crystalline phase (sometime called ferriferrihydrite) that disappears just before the full transformation into hematite. Transmission electron microscopy observations suggest that this intermediate crystalline phase nucleates at the expense of the primordial gel, remaining physically attached to it until complete transformation into hematite. This microstructural picture appears well supported as, upon aging, the glassy magnetic dynamics found in ferrihydrite persists for the aged products even when dispersed in a nonmagnetic matrix, very likely because part of the so grown ferrimagnetic nanoparticles form aggregates within remains of the nontransformed gel. We propose a coherent model of ferrihydrite aging, based on integrated microstructural and magnetic observations, which is useful for the identification of aging products in geological and biological environments.
On the long‐term stability of the Lofoten Basin Eddy
Authors: Søiland H. , Chafik L. , Rossby T. 
Published: June 2016

AbstractIn recent years, several studies have identified an area of intense anticyclonic activity about 500 km straight west of the Lofoten Islands at 70°N in the northern Norwegian Sea. Now recognized as the coherent Lofoten Basin Eddy (LBE), it is maintained by a supply of anticyclonic eddies that break away from the Norwegian Atlantic Current. Here we show from ship‐based surveys of its velocity field that it is quite stable with a central core in solid body rotation ∼1000 m deep, ∼8 km radius, and a relative vorticity close to its theoretical limit –f. The surveys also show the LBE typically has a >60 km radius with maximum swirl velocities at 17–20 km radius. From the velocity field, we estimate the dynamic height amplitude at the surface to be about ∼0.21 ± 0.03 dyn. m. Second, altimetry from the last 20 years shows the extremum in sea surface height relative to the surrounding waters to be about the same, 0.2 dyn. m. Third, a float trapped in the LBE for many months reveals a clear cyclonic wandering of the eddy over the deepest parts of the basin. Last, three hydrographic sections from the 1960s show the dynamic height signal to be virtually the same then as it is now. From these observations, we conclude that the LBE is a permanent feature of the Nordic Seas and plays a central role in maintaining the pool of warm water in the western Lofoten Basin.
