AbstractHigh‐performance supercapacitors require the design and development of electrode materials with high conductivity and a large electrolyte‐accessible surface area. Here, the use of a conductive NiCoP nanoarray on nickel foam (NiCoP/NF) as a superior pseudocapacitor electrode is demonstrated. This 3D electrode exhibits high areal capacitances of 9.2 and 5.97 F cm−2 at current densities of 2 and 50 mA cm−2, respectively, with good rate capability and cycling stability. The asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device assembled using NiCoP/NF as positive electrode and active carbon as negative electrode delivers a high energy density of 1.16 mWh cm−2 at a power density of 1.6 mW cm−2 with 72 % retention of its initial specific capacitance after 2000 cycles at 50 mA cm−2. The practical use is further demonstrated with two such ASC devices in series to light six LED indicators and also to drive an alkaline water electro‐ lyzer using NiCoP/NF as both cathode and anode for hydrogen production.

Published: February 2017

AbstractA class of hemicryptophane cages that adopt imploded conformations in solution and in the solid state has been described and studied by NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. It is reported that the degree of collapse of the molecular cavity can be controlled by changing the stereochemistry of the chiral elements of the hemicryptophanes, leading to a modulation of their physical and chemical properties. Upon the binding of an oxidovanadium unit, the collapsed molecular cavity can inflate to give an expanded conformation. Removal of the vanadium core by an ancillary complexing ligand restores the initial folded structure. Thus, coordination/de‐coordination of the metal ion controls the dynamic motions of the cage, leading to a reversible nanomechanical process. This controlled motion between a collapsed and expanded cavity can be seen as that of a breathable molecular cage.
A 1.9‐GHz silicon‐on‐insulator CMOS stacked‐FET power amplifier with uniformly distributed voltage stresses
Authors: Im Donggu , Kwon Kuduck , Lee In‐Young 
Published: February 2017

SummaryA 1.9‐GHz single‐stage differential stacked‐FET power amplifier with uniformly distributed voltage stresses was implemented using 0.32‐μm 2.8‐V thick‐oxide MOSFETs in a 0.18‐μm silicon‐on‐insulator CMOS process. The input cross‐coupled stacked‐FET topology was proposed to evenly distribute the voltage stresses among the stacked transistors, alleviating the breakdown and reliability issues of the stacked‐FET power amplifier in sub‐micrometer CMOS technology. With a 4‐V supply voltage, the proposed power amplifier with an integrated output coupled‐resonator balun showed a small‐signal gain of 17 dB, a saturated output power of 26.1 dBm, and a maximum power‐added efficiency of 41.5% at the operating frequency.

Published: February 2017

AbstractBackgroundDrugs activating the mu opioid receptor are routinely used to treat severe acute and chronic pain. Unfortunately, side effects including nausea, constipation, respiratory depression, addiction and tolerance can limit clinical utility. In contrast, kappa opioid receptor (KOPr) agonists, such as Salvinorin A (SalA), have analgesic properties with little potential for abuse.MethodsWe evaluated SalA and the novel analogue β‐tetrahydropyran Salvinorin B (β‐THP SalB) for the ability to modulate pain and inflammation in vivo. The hot water tail‐withdrawal assay, intradermal formalin‐induced inflammatory pain and paclitaxel‐induced neuropathic pain models were used to evaluate analgesic properties in mice. Tissue infiltration of inflammatory cells was measured by histology and flow cytometry.Resultsβ‐tetrahydropyran Salvinorin B produced a longer duration of action in the tail‐withdrawal assay compared to the parent compound SalA, and, like SalA and U50,488, β‐THP SalB is a full agonist at the KOPr. In the formalin‐induced inflammatory pain model, β‐THP SalB and SalA significantly reduced pain score, paw oedema and limited the infiltration of neutrophils into the inflamed tissue. β‐THP SalB and SalA supressed both mechanical and cold allodynia in the paclitaxel‐induced neuropathic pain model, in a dose‐dependent manner.ConclusionsStructural modification of SalA at the C‐2 position alters its analgesic potency and efficacy in vivo. Substitution with a tetrahydropyran group at C‐2 produced potent analgesic and anti‐inflammatory effects, including a reduction in paclitaxel‐induced neuropathic pain. This study highlights the potential for KOPr agonists as analgesics with anti‐inflammatory action and little risk of abuse.SignificanceSalvinorin A and the novel analogue β‐THP Salvinorin B show analgesic effects in the tail‐withdrawal and formalin assays. They reduce oedema and decrease neutrophil infiltration into inflamed tissue, and suppress mechanical and cold allodynia in paclitaxel‐induced neuropathic pain.

Published: February 2017

AbstractThe incidence of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma in patients 80 years of age or older is 50 times higher than in 20‐ to 24‐year‐olds. Very elderly patients are often not treated with standard immunochemotherapy because of poor performance status, comorbidities, and toxicity concerns. We retrospectively analyzed data for 29 patients diagnosed with diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma or grade 3B follicular lymphoma and treated with rituximab in combination with nonpegylated liposomal doxorubicin between January 2010 and August 2015. The median age was 84 years. The overall 3‐year survival, cause‐specific survival, and progression‐free survival rates were 46%, 55%, and 44%, respectively. Among prognostic factors, only the achievement of complete remission strongly correlated with overall survival, cause‐specific survival, and progression‐free survival rates. Treatment caused very mild toxicity, without treatment‐related hospitalization or toxic deaths.
Our top 10 herbicide‐resistant weed management practices
Authors: Beckie Hugh J , Harker K Neil 
Published: February 2017

AbstractAlthough proactive or reactive herbicide‐resistant weed management (HRWM) practices have been recommended to growers in different agroecoregions globally, there is a need to identify and prioritise those having the most impact in mitigating or managing herbicide selection pressure in the northern Great Plains of North America. Our perspective on this issue is based on collaborative research, extension activities and dialogue with growers or farming experience (cereal, oilseed and pulse crop production) during the past 30 years. We list our top 10 HRWM practices, concluding with the number 1 practice which is the foundation of the other nine practices: crop diversity. Although our top 10 HRWM practices have broad applicability across agroecoregions, their ranking may vary widely. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry
A generalised wavelet packet‐based anonymisation approach for ECG security application
Authors: Mahmoud Seedahmed S. 
Published: February 2017

AbstractAn electrocardiogram (ECG) signal contains cardiovascular information, which is private in nature. Therefore, during the distribution and storage of an ECG in a public repository, it is necessary to anonymise the ECG data. An eavesdropper could record an unsecured ECG and use it as recognition data to gain access via an ECG biometric system. Anonymised ECG data also hide cardiovascular details of a patient upholding Health Information Protection and Privacy Act (1996) regulations. In this paper, a generalised wavelet packet‐based ECG anonymisation framework is proposed. The proposed method uses wavelet packet transform and reversible function and/or operation to conceal fiducial and non‐fiducial features from normal and abnormal ECG signals. At the receiver end, only authorised personnel possessing a secret key and know the reversible function will be able to reconstruct the original ECG from the anonymised ECG. Performance analysis using cross correlation, power spectral density and percentage residual difference methods show that the proposed anonymisation algorithm conceals fiducial and non‐fiducial features in normal and abnormal ECG signals. Moreover, the reconstructed ECG is highly correlated with the original ECG, which achieves a lossless reconstruction of the ECG data and proves the robustness of the proposed method. It is found from the performance analysis results that the proposed anonymisation scheme provides high‐security protection to ECG data and patient privacy. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Ethical considerations for sleep intervention in organizational psychology research
Authors: Barber Larissa K. 
Published: February 2017

AbstractOver the past several years, interest into the role of sleep in the workplace has grown. The theoretical shift from research questions examining sleep as an outcome to placing sleep as the independent variable has increased experimental approaches to manipulating sleep in organizational studies. This is an exciting trend that is likely to continue in the organizational sciences. However, sleep experimentation can also pose special challenges for organizational researchers unaccustomed to sleep science. In this commentary, I discuss five ethical considerations of conducting negative sleep interventions in organizational psychology research. I also provide recommendations for organizational researchers—or even other researchers in disciplines outside of sleep science—who wish to implement sleep interventions in their studies.
Modifying the Sleep Treatment Education Program for Students to include technology use (STEPS‐TECH): Intervention effects on objective and subjective sleep outcomes
Authors: Barber Larissa K. , Cucalon Maria S. 
Published: February 2017

AbstractUniversity students often have sleep issues that arise from poor sleep hygiene practices and technology use patterns. Yet, technology‐related behaviors are often neglected in sleep hygiene education. This study examined whether the Sleep Treatment Education Program for Students—modified to include information regarding managing technology use (STEPS‐TECH)—helps improve both subjective and objective sleep outcomes among university students. Results of an experimental study among 78 university students showed improvements in objective indicators of sleep quantity (total sleep time) and sleep quality (less awakenings) during the subsequent week for students in the STEPS‐TECH intervention group compared to a control group. Exploratory analyses indicated that effects were driven by improvements in weekend days immediately following the intervention. There were also no intervention effects on subjective sleep quality or quantity outcomes. In terms of self‐reported behavioral responses to educational content in the intervention, there were no group differences in sleep hygiene practices or technology use before bedtime. However, the intervention group reported less technology use during sleep periods than the control group. These preliminary findings suggest that STEPS‐TECH may be a useful educational tool to help improve objective sleep and reduce technology use during sleep periods among university students.
Elevated total plasma-adiponectin is stable over time in young women with bulimia nervosa

Published: February 2017

AbstractBackgroundBulimia nervosa (BN) is characterized by dysregulated eating behaviour and present data suggest adipokines may regulate food intake. We investigated a possible association between BN and adipokine levels and hypothesized that plasma (P)-adiponectin would be elevated and P-leptin and P-leptin-adiponectin-ratio would be reduced in women with BN.MethodsThe study was designed as a cross-sectional study with a longitudinal arm for patients with BN. Plasma-adiponectin and leptin was measured in 148 female patients seeking psychiatric ambulatory care and 45 female controls. Fifteen patients were diagnosed with BN and the remaining with other affective and anxiety disorders. P-adiponectin and P-leptin levels were compared between patients with BN, patients without BN and controls. At follow-up 1–2 years later, adipokines were reassessed in patients with BN and the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire was used to assess symptom severity.ResultsP-adiponectin was elevated in patients with BN at baseline and at follow-up when compared to patients without BN and controls (P < 0.004 and < 0.008 respectively). The difference remained significant after controlling for body mass index. P-adiponectin was correlated to symptom severity at follow-up in patients with BN without morbid obesity (ρ = 0.72, P < 0.04). P-leptin-adiponectin-ratio was significantly lower in patients with BN compared to controls (P < 0.04) and P-leptin non-significantly lower.ConclusionsFindings indicate a stable elevation of P-adiponectin in women with BN. P-adiponectin at follow-up correlates to eating disorder symptom severity in patients without morbid obesity, indicating that P-adiponectin should be further investigated as a possible potential prognostic biomarker for BN.
Between Scylla and Charybdis: Women’s Labour Migration and Sex Trafficking in the Early Twentieth Century
Authors: Laite Julia 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThis article explores the discursive and practical entanglements of women’s work and sex trafficking, in Britain and internationally, in the early twentieth century. It examines discussions about trafficking and women’s work during a period that was instrumental in codifying modern, international conceptions of ‘trafficking’ and argues that porous and faulty borders were drawn between sex work, women’s licit work, and their sexual exploitation and their exploitation as workers. These borders were at their thinnest in discussions about two very important sectors of female-dominated migrant labour: domestic and care work, and work in the entertainment industry. The anti-trafficking movement, the international labour movement, and the makers of national laws and policies, attempted to separate sexual labour from other forms of labour. In doing so, they wilfully ignored or suppressed moments when they obviously intersected, and downplayed the role of other exploited and badly-paid licit work that sustained the global economy. But these attempts were rarely successful: despite the careful navigations of international and British officials, work continued to find its way back into discussions of sex trafficking, and sex trafficking remained entangled with the realities of women’s work.
Synergetic effects of DNA methylation and histone modification during mouse induced pluripotent stem cell generation

Published: February 2017

AbstractDNA methylation and histone methylation (H3K27me3) have been reported as major barriers to induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) generation using four core transcription factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc, termed OSKM). Here, to illustrate the possibility of deriving iPSCs via demethylation, as well as the exact effects of DNA methylation and histone modification on gene expression regulation, we performed RNA sequencing to characterize the transcriptomes of ES cells and iPSCs derived by demethylation with miR-29b or shDnmt3a, and carried out integrated analyses. Results showed that OSKM + miR-29b-iPSC was more close to ES cells than the others, and up-regulated genes typically presented with methylated CpG-dense promoters and H3K27me3-enriched regions. The differentially expressed genes caused by introduction of DNA demethylation during somatic cell reprogramming mainly focus on stem cell associated GO terms and KEGG signaling pathways, which may decrease the tumorigenesis risk of iPSCs. These findings indicated that DNA methylation and histone methylation have synergetic effects on regulating gene expression during iPSC generation, and demethylation by miR-29b is better than shDnmt3a for iPSC quality. Furthermore, integrated analyses are superior for exploration of slight differences as missed by individual analysis.
USE OF CODED MORTALITY DATA TO ASSESS AREA CANCER RATES: IMPACT OF RESIDENCE REPORTING AND CODING ERRORS
Authors: WILLIAMS ALLAN N. , JOHNSON REBECCA A. , BENDER ALAN P. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
In spite of their limitations, mortality data are used in many epidemiologic and public health settings. In this investigation, the authors examined the extent to which community cancer mortality rates were affected by incorrect reporting or coding of residence on death certificates. Observed and expected cancer mortality for two adjacent communities in northern rural Minnesota for the periods 1970–1974 and 1980–1984 were obtained from computerized state mortality data. Using statewide rates to obtain expected values, standardized mortality ratios for total cancers for both periods combined were 138 for men (101 observed deaths) and 148 for women (86 observed deaths). These excesses were statistically significant (p &lt; 0.05). However, after review of data from the actual death certificates, city maps, and information from city officials, 44 of the 187 total cancer deaths (24%) were found to have had an incorrectly reported or coded residence status. After removal of these cases, the standardized mortality ratio for total cancers for males went from 138 to 107, and for females the standardized mortality ratio went from 148 to 111. No standardized mortality ratios remained statistically significant These findings may have implications for those who use mortality data for assessing cancer rates in communities in rural areas.
Enforcement of the purports of binding banking documents in Rastin Banking – part I
Authors: Bidabad Bijan , Abdollahi Saeid , Sherafati Mahshid 
Published: February 2017

Purpose
This paper aims to facilitate and accelerate the enforcement of binding banking documents and to decrease the enforcement burden of the registration offices, courts and judicial authorities and to transfer it to the banks.

Design/methodology/approach
A new mechanism for “enforcement of the purports of binding banking documents in Rastin Banking” is proposed. In the proposed regulations, a part of the executive path for enforcement of the purports of binding banking documents is transferred into a newly established unit located in every bank. The method considers all financial, legal and executive issues.

Findings
Promotion of practical justice is a main factor to promote social and economic circumstances; the proposed model can prepare a way to improve the social and economic well-being.

Research limitations/implications
Codifying the law and regulations is a highly sophisticated task, and the art of codification can be examined after scrutinizing and executing the full text of the law.

Practical implications
Though this paper presents the concept, the detailed proposed regulations are presented in two drafts of the bill and bylaw for enforcement of the purports of binding banking documents and handling complaints against executive operations in Rastin Banking.

Social implications
This procedure is a model that can be adapted for other countries, especially those countries that have a large number of legal disputes and the process of dispute settlement is very lengthy and cumbersome.

Originality/value
It fulfils an identified need to solve practical legal problem in vindication of rights that can lead to positive and important effects toward creating public trust in financial obligations and increasing the speed of collecting demands.
The association of neonatal morbidity with long‐term neurological outcome in infants who were growth restricted and preterm at birth: secondary analyses from TRUFFLE (Trial of Randomized Umbilical and Fetal Flow in Europe)

Published: February 2017

ObjectiveTo study the relationship between neonatal morbidity (NNM) and two‐year neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in surviving children after early fetal growth restriction (FGR).DesignSecondary analysis of a European randomised trial (TRUFFLE) of delivery for very preterm fetuses dependent on venous Doppler or cardiotocographic criteria.SettingTertiary perinatal centres, participants in TRUFFLE.Population402 surviving children after early FGR.MethodsProspective data were collection from the recognition of FGR until the corrected age of two years. We studied the association between NNM and NDI, retaining trial allocation in all statistical models. NNM included any of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, brain injury, sepsis or necrotising enterocolitis. NDI was a composite of Bayley cognitive score < 85, cerebral palsy or severe sensory impairment.Main outcome measureNDI in relation to NNM.ResultsNNM occurred in 104 cases (26%) and was more frequent in 17 of 39 infants with NDI (44%) than in the 87 of 363 infants with normal outcome (24%) [odds ratio 2.5 (95% CI, 1.3–4.8); P = 0.01]. In 22 of 39 NDI cases (56%) there was no preceding NNM. NNM was inversely related to gestational age, but NDI did not vary by gestational age. In multivariable analyses, cerebral ultrasound abnormalities were most strongly associated with NDI, together with trial group allocation, birthweight ratio, infant sex and Apgar score.ConclusionsWith the exception of cerebral ultrasound abnormalities, commonly used NNMs are poor markers of later NDI and should not be used as surrogate outcomes for NDI.Tweetable abstractNeonatal morbidities cannot be used as surrogate outcomes for neurodevelopmental impairment.
