An Architect Draws Sound and Light: New Perspectives on Iannis Xenakis's Diatope and La Légende d'Eer (1978)
Authors: Kiourtsoglou Elisavet 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
This article examines the creative process of Diatope, a multimedia project created by Iannis Xenakis in 1978 for the inauguration of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, utilizing analytical research of sources found in several archives. By interpreting Xenakis's sketches and plans, the article elucidates for the first time the spatialization of La Légende d'Eer, the music featured in the Diatope. The findings of the research underline the importance of graphic and geometric representation for understanding Xenakis's thinking, and they highlight the continuity and evolution of his theory and practice over time. Furthermore, the research findings present the means by which this key work of electroacoustic music might be spatialized today, now that the original space of the Diatope no longer exists.

A new dagger nematode,Xiphinema poasensen. sp., is described and illustrated from three populations extracted from soil associated with a combined plantation ofEucalyptussp.,Cupressussp. andPennisetumsp. and wild plants from a tropical pre-montane forest in Costa Rica. The new dagger nematode is characterised by a moderate body size 2612 (2416-3042) μm long, a rounded lip region 15.0 (13.5-16.5) μm broad, separated from the body contour by a shallow depression, amphidial fovea large, stirrup-shaped, a very long odontostyle (175 (164-188) μm), stylet guiding ring located 167 (136-181) μm from anterior end, vulva situated anterior to mid-body (36-40%), anterior genital branch complete but strongly reduced, without uterine differentiation, female tail short, hemispherical to convex-conoid with a c′ ratio = 0.7 (0.6-0.8) and bearing two pairs of caudal pores, and male absent. Integrative diagnosis was completed with molecular data using D2-D3 expansion segments of 28S rRNA, ITS1 region, partial 18S-rRNA and the partial mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (coxI). The phylogenetic relationships based on D2-D3 segments of this species with otherXiphinemaspp. of theX.non-americanumgroup indicated thatX. poasensen. sp. clustered with other species with a reduced anterior genital branch from the morphospecies Group 2,viz.,X. costaricenseandX. krugi. However, the phylogeny ofcoxIand partial 18S rRNA gene revealed that the new species did not cluster withXiphinemaspecies having the anterior genital branch absent or reduced (i.e., morphospecies Groups 1 and 2, respectively).
Empirical evidence on scalar implicature processing at the behavioural and neural levels
Authors: Alatawi Haifa 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
The Default hypothesis on implicature processing suggests that a rapid, automatic mechanism is used to process utterances such as “some of his family are attending the wedding” to infer that “not all of them are attending”, an inference subject to cancellation if additional contextual information is provided (e.g. “actually, they are all attending”). In contrast, the Relevance hypothesis suggests that only context-dependent inferences are computed and this process is cognitively effortful. This article reviews findings on behavioural and neural processing of scalar implicatures to clarify the cognitive effort involved.
What’s really going on with the ham sandwich?
Authors: Bowerman Josephine 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Working within the framework of Relevance Theory, I investigate the nature of referential metonymy (specifically, metonymically-used definite descriptions), aiming to elucidate (i) the pragmatic mechanisms involved in referential metonymy comprehension, and (ii) the contribution of a metonymically-used definite description to the explicitly communicated content of an utterance. I propose that, while the interpretation of referential metonymy is properly inferential in nature, it cannot be explained in terms of ‘meaning modulation’ (narrowing and broadening); rather, the literal meaning of a metonymically-used referring expression remains intact, and is used as evidence of the speaker’s target referent. In addition, I argue that the referential/attributive distinction proposed by Donnellan (1966) for literally-used definite descriptions also applies to metonymically-used definite descriptions. Thus, the contribution of a metonymically-used definite description to explicit utterance content differs according to whether the definite description is used ‘referentially’ or ‘attributively’.
Structural Property Losses from Tornadoes in Florida
Authors: Elsner James B. , Ryan Emily , Strode Georgianna 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Property losses from tornadoes in Florida are estimated by combining a 1-km spatial grid of structural values from the Department of Revenue’s 2014 cadastral database with historical tornado events since 1950. There are 91 180 grid cells in the state with at least some structural value. Total and residential structural values total $942 billion and $619 billion, respectively. Over the period 1950 through 2015 there were 3233 individual tornado reports in the state with a peak frequency during June. The property value exposed to tornadoes is estimated using a geometric model for the path. Annual statewide total and residential structural property exposure to tornadoes is estimated at $171 million and $103 million, respectively. Property exposure to tornadoes peaks in February. A regression model quantifies the relationship between actual losses since 2007 and exposures. A doubling of the residential exposure increases actual recorded losses by 26% since 2007, and a doubling of nonresidential exposure increases losses by 21%, controlling for changes over time. Randomization of the historical tornado paths provides alternative exposure scenarios that are used to determine the probability of extreme loss years. Results from the Monte Carlo algorithm indicate a 1% chance that the annual loss will exceed $430 million and a 0.1% chance that it will exceed $1 billion. These findings, and the procedure to obtain them, should help property insurance and reinsurance companies gauge their risk of losses and prioritize their management actions.
The high cost of poverty: mental health perspectives from the Caribbean Diaspora
Authors: Hickling Frederick W. 
Published: January 2018

‘Globalization is an objective reality - underlying the fact that we are all passengers on the same vessel - the planet where we all live.’ (Fidel Castro, 2000, p. vii)A Caribbean Diaspora has emerged worldwide after 500 years of European colonial exploitation of the Caribbean geopolitical region. This exploitation has a two-tiered social legacy: the ‘haves'; and the ‘have-nots', characterised by poor educational achievement, underdevelopment and unemployability of the many. The Caribbean Diaspora is a product of ever-increasing fantasies of escape from poverty by migration to greener ‘First World’ pastures. The complex, contradictory Caribbean society generates a crucible of misery and violence amid opulent wealth and luxury, which requires a burgeoning private and public police and military apparatus for its containment, and an ever-increasing health, mental health and penal correctional system to buttress the casualties of this conflict that is spiralling out of organisational and economic control. This two-tiered society was inherited from the hierarchical legacy of European colonialism. The colonisers existed in a system of high productivity and order, which imposed its will on the colonised, who lived in relative disorganisation and need. The resultant vector of this unequal yoke is the virtual anarchy of present-day Jamaica and other Caribbean territories, characterised by a subculture of violence and increasingly violent crime. The physical, psychological and economic costs of this seeming conundrum are bewildering and unaffordable.

Mental health legislation in contemporary India: the need for inter-sectoral dialogue
Authors: Goel D. S. 
Published: January 2018

It is said that war is far too serious a matter to be left to the generals alone. The same could be said for the interface between law and mental health. With our narrow, and sometimes myopic, treatment-centric vision we are ill equipped to claim hegemony over the complex domain of legislation as it relates to mental health, even more so in the multicultural Indian subcontinent, where the medieval exists alongside the modern and where abject poverty jostles with ostentatious wealth:
‘The mental health scene in India at the dawn of the twenty-first century is a bewildering mosaic of immense impoverishment, asymmetrical distribution of scarce resources, islands of relative prosperity intermixed with vast areas of deprivation, conflicting interests and the apparent apathy of governments and the governed alike.’ (Goel et al, 2004)

Abstract

Context and Objective
Vitamin D status may affect cardiovascular disease (CVD) development and survival. We studied the relationship between concentrations of the circulating biomarker 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risk.

Design, Setting, Participants, and Main Outcome Measures
25OHD, the sum of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, was analyzed in plasma samples from 4114 white patients suspected of having stable angina pectoris and was adjusted for seasonal variation. Hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were estimated by using multivariable Cox models with 25OHD as the main exposure variable, with adjustment for study site, age, sex, smoking, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and systolic blood pressure.

Results
A total of 895 (21.8%) deaths, including 407 (9.9%) from CVD causes, occurred during a mean ± standard deviation follow-up of 11.9 ± 3.0 years. Compared with the first 25OHD quartile, HRs in the second, third, and fourth quartiles were 0.64 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.54 to 0.77], 0.56 (95% CI, 0.46 to 0.67), and 0.56 (95% CI, 0.46 to 0.67) for all-cause mortality and 0.70 (95% CI, 0.53 to 0.91), 0.60 (95% CI, 0.45 to 0.79), and 0.57 (95% CI, 0.43 to 0.75) for cardiovascular mortality, respectively. Threshold analysis demonstrated increased all-cause and CVD mortality in patients with 25OHD concentrations below ∼42.5 nmol/L. Moreover, analysis suggested increased all-cause mortality at concentrations &gt;100 nmol/L.

Conclusion
Plasma 25OHD concentrations were inversely associated with cardiovascular mortality and nonlinearly (U-shaped) associated with all-cause mortality.

ABSTRACTPurposeWe determined the effects of an innovative 8-wk exercise intervention (aerobic, resistance, and inspiratory muscle training) for patients with mitochondrial disease.MethodsSeveral end points were assessed in 12 patients (19–59 yr, 4 women) at pretraining, posttraining, and after 4-wk detraining: aerobic power, muscle strength/power and maximal inspiratory pressure (main end points), ability to perform activities of daily living, body composition, quality of life, and blood myokines (secondary end points).ResultsThe program was safe, with patients’ adherence being 94% ± 5%. A significant time effect was found for virtually all main end points (P≤ 0.004), indicating a training improvement. Similar findings (P≤ 0.003) were found for activities of daily living tests, total/trunk/leg lean mass, total fat mass, femoral fracture risk, and general health perception. No differences were found for blood myokines, except for an acute exertional increase in interleukin 8 at posttraining/detraining (P= 0.002) and in fatty acid binding protein 3 at detraining (P= 0.002).ConclusionsAn intervention including novel exercises for mitochondrial disease patients (e.g., inspiratory muscle training) produced benefits in numerous indicators of physical capacity and induced a previously unreported shift toward a healthier body composition phenotype.

Resumo. Com o intuito de testar a tecnologia de película de partículas minerais com produtos existentes no mercado brasileiro, este trabalho avaliou a ação de caulim e calcário líquido na oviposição de Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Foram realizados ensaios de laboratório com maçãs e mangas, onde os frutos foram submetidos a pulverizações com caulim e calcário líquido (20% produto + água + espalhante adesivo Break Thru®) e controles (água e água + o espalhante adesivo) e expostos, individualmente, em gaiolas contendo dez fêmeas de C. capitata, alimento e água. Após 24 horas, os frutos foram removidos das gaiolas e decorridas mais 24 horas, removia-se a película mineral e contava-se as o número de puncturas nestes. A média de puncturas registradas nos frutos dos controles, em maçãs e em mangas foi maior do que a dos frutos tratados. Caulim e calcário líquido não diferiram entre si nos dois experimentos. Em condições de laboratório, os produtos testados impediram a oviposição das moscas, reduzindo a infestação nos frutos.Minerals particles films on mediterranean fruit fly oviposition in laboratory assaysAbstract. In order to test the technology of mineral particle film with products existing in the Brazilian market, this work evaluate the action of kaolin and limestone liquid on Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) oviposition. Laboratory tests were carried out with apples and mangoes, where the fruits were sprayed with kaolin and liquid limestone (20% product + water + Break Thru ® adhesive) and controls (water and water + adhesive spreader) and individually exposed in cages containing ten C. capitata females, food and water. After 24 hours, the fruits were removed from the cages and after another 24 hours, the mineral film was removed and the number of punctures counted therein. The mean number of punctures recorded in the fruits of controls, apples and mangoes was higher than that of treated fruits. Kaolin and liquid limestone did not differ between the two experiments. Under laboratory conditions, the tested products prevented the oviposition of the flies, reducing infestation in the fruits.
Optimization with Stochastic Preferences Based on a General Class of Scalarization Functions
Authors: Noyan Nilay , Rudolf Gábor 
Published: January 2018

It is of crucial importance to develop risk-averse models for multicriteria decision making under uncertainty. A major stream of the related literature studies optimization problems that feature multivariate stochastic benchmarking constraints. These problems typically involve a univariate stochastic preference relation, often based on stochastic dominance or a coherent risk measure such as conditional value-at-risk, which is then extended to allow the comparison of random vectors by the use of a family of scalarization functions: All scalarized versions of the vector of the uncertain outcomes of a decision are required to be preferable to the corresponding scalarizations of the benchmark outcomes. While this line of research has been dedicated almost entirely to linear scalarizations, the corresponding deterministic literature uses a wide variety of scalarization functions that, among other advantages, offer a high degree of modeling flexibility. In this paper we aim to incorporate these scalarizations into a stochastic context by introducing the general class of min-biaffine functions. We study optimization problems in finite probability spaces with multivariate stochastic benchmarking constraints based on min-biaffine scalarizations. We develop duality results, optimality conditions, and a cut generation method to solve these problems. We also introduce a new characterization of the risk envelope of a coherent risk measure in terms of its Kusuoka representation as a tool toward proving the finite convergence of our solution method. The main computational challenge lies in solving cut generation subproblems; we develop several mixed-integer programming formulations by exploiting the min-affine structure and leveraging recent advances for solving similar problems with linear scalarizations. We conduct a computational study on a well-known homeland security budget allocation problem to examine the impact of the proposed scalarizations on optimal solutions, and illustrate the computational performance of our solution methods.

Risk-Aversion and B2B Contracting Under Asymmetric Information: Evidence from Managed Print Services
Authors: Ning Jie , Babich Volodymyr , Handley John , Keppo Jussi 
Published: January 2018

Managed print service (MPS) is a type of information technology infrastructure service that provides centralized management of companies’ printing device fleets. In this paper, we estimate the provider’s risk preference in MPS using a proprietary data set from Xerox Corporation. We adopt a structural approach in our empirical analysis by modeling the contracting and usage processes of MPS as a two-stage screening game and building econometric models based on the equilibrium contracts and print volumes. Our econometric models have a unique hierarchical structure that allows clustering of printers with the same contracts in the same company, thereby capturing the B2B nature of MPS. We find that Xerox exhibits risk aversion in MPS contracting and provide institutional details of Xerox’s commission holdback policy that may cause the observed risk aversion. In the counterfactual analysis, we demonstrate the significance of the provider’s risk aversion and the implications of the commission holdback policy on equilibrium contracts, the expected earnings of Xerox and customer companies, and their preferences for printer models.

Dynamic Orienteering on a Network of Queues
Authors: Zhang Shu , Ohlmann Jeffrey W. , Thomas Barrett W. 
Published: January 2018

We introduce a stochastic orienteering problem on a network of queues in which the traveler must arrive and enter service at locations within the respective time windows to collect rewards, but the traveler may experience stochastic wait time at each location before service can begin. To maximize the expected rewards collected, the traveler must determine which locations to visit and how long to wait in queues at each location. We formally model the problem as a Markov decision process with the objective of maximizing the expected collected rewards. We investigate the existence of optimal control limits and examine conditions under which certain actions cannot be optimal. To solve the problem, we propose an approximate dynamic programming approach based on rollout algorithms. The method introduces a two-stage heuristic estimation that we refer to as compound rollout. In the first stage, the algorithm decides whether to stay at the current location or go to another location. If departing the current location, it chooses the next location in the second stage. We demonstrate the value of our modeling and solution approaches by comparing the dynamic policies to a-priori-route solutions with recourse actions.
