Published: October 2016

OBJECTIVEDepression in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with long-term complications, disability, and early mortality. No studies have systematically examined the length of episodes and remission in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) and T2D. This study examined the course of depressive disorders in patients with T2D and MDD.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSParticipants (N = 50) enrolled in a behavioral intervention for adults with T2D and MDD were interviewed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR to assess history of depressive disorders at baseline (lifetime history), postintervention, and 3-month follow-up. Onset and remission dates were recorded for all Axis I depressive disorders from birth to final interview.RESULTSAverage number of MDD episodes was 1.8 with a mean duration of 23.4 months (SD 31.9; range 0.5–231.3). Over the life course, mean exposure to MDD was 43.1 months (SD 46.5; range 0.5–231.3). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis indicated median episode duration decreased with subsequent episodes (14 months, first episode; 9 months, second episode; P &lt; 0.002). In patients with multiple depressive episodes, recovery time was shorter with each subsequent episode (P = 0.002). No differences in length of episode or remission were observed based on chronology of T2D diagnosis.CONCLUSIONSThe overall exposure to depression in this sample of adults with T2D represents a substantial period of time that can contribute to negative medical and psychiatric outcomes. Recurrent episodes decrease in duration as do recovery periods, resulting in a waxing and waning pattern. Findings from this study underscore the need to effectively diagnose and treat depression in patients with T2D to minimize risk of future depressive episodes.

OBJECTIVE
Because unplanned pregnancies could cause maternal-fetal complications for women with diabetes, family planning vigilance (FPV) is imperative. The aims of this article are to operationalize and describe FPV and examine the associations among FPV behaviors and diabetes self-care management (DSM) and health outcomes of women with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Retrospective data were used from a follow-up study of adult women with T1D who participated as adolescents in a preconception counseling (PC) intervention trial and matched comparison women with T1D who did not receive the adolescent PC intervention. Participants completed online questionnaires regarding family planning behaviors, DSM, and clinical and reproductive health outcomes.

RESULTS
Participants (N = 102) were, on average, 23.7 years old (range 18–38) and 98.0% were white, 82.2% had some college, 25.8% were married, and 11.8% had biological children. Of those sexually active (n = 80, 78.4%), 50% were contraceptive vigilant and 11% were FPV (i.e., being contraceptive vigilant, receiving PC, and initiating discussions with health care professionals). Among FPV behaviors, only receiving PC and initiating discussion with health care professionals were correlated (r = 0.29, P = 0.010). Compared with nonvigilant women, contraceptive vigilant and FPV women used more effective contraceptive methods (P = 0.025) and experienced less diabetic ketoacidosis (P = 0.040) and hospitalizations (P = 0.064), whereas FPV women were aware of PC (P = 0.046) and younger when they received PC (P &lt; 0.001). FPV components were associated with DSM and health outcomes (P &lt; 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS
Women with diabetes should be FPV, but few were. FPV women were more likely to have PC earlier and better health outcomes, supporting early PC intervention.
Separating the Wheat from the Chaff
Authors: Barnes Jessica 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACTWheat is one of the world’s most widely grown, traded, and consumed crops. This article reviews the interdisciplinary literature on human-wheat interactions, tracing how various actors engage with wheat up until its point of consumption. I look first at wheat as a seed, examining efforts to transform wheat over time through farmer selection and scientific breeding, and the emergence of high-yielding wheat, hybrid wheat, and genetically modified wheat. Second, I look at wheat as a plant and what it means to farm wheat. I highlight two key dimensions of farmer-wheat interactions—farmers’ choice of variety and their management of risk. Finally, I look at wheat as a grain and the practices of transportation, sorting, and trade that mediate flows of harvested grain from field to market. Through reviewing these three areas of literature, the article reveals the social worlds that both shape and are shaped by this globally significant crop.

Published: October 2016

Background Beta-blockers (BBs) are the mainstay prognostic medication for all stages of chronic heart failure (CHF). There are many classes of BBs, each of which has varying levels of evidence to support its efficacy in CHF. However, most CHF patients have one or more comorbid conditions such as diabetes, renal impairment, and/or atrial fibrillation. Patient enrollment to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) often excludes those with certain comorbidities, particularly if the symptoms are severe. Consequently, the extent to which evidence drawn from RCTs is generalizable to CHF patients has not been well described. Clinical guidelines also underrepresent this point by providing generic advice for all patients. The aim of this review is to examine the evidence to support the use of BBs in CHF patients with common comorbid conditions. Methods We searched MEDLINE, PubMed, and the reference lists of reviews for RCTs, post hoc analyses, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that report on use of BBs in CHF along with patient demographics and comorbidities. Results In total, 38 studies from 28 RCTs were identified, which provided data on six BBs against placebo or head to head with another BB agent in ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies. Several studies explored BBs in older patients. Female patients and non-Caucasian race were underrepresented in trials. End points were cardiovascular hospitalization and mortality. Comorbid diabetes, renal impairment, or atrial fibrillation was detailed; however, no reference to disease spectrum or management goals as a focus could be seen in any of the studies. In this sense, enrollment may have limited more severe grades of these comorbidities. Conclusions RCTs provide authoritative information for a spectrum of CHF presentations that support guidelines. RCTs may provide inadequate information for more heterogeneous CHF patient cohorts. Greater Phase IV research may be needed to fill this gap and inform guidelines for a more global patient population.
Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin Method with Front Tracking Method for Solving the Compressible Two-Medium Flow on Unstructured Meshes
Authors: Lu Haitian , Zhu Jun , Wang Chunwu , Zhao Ning 
Published: October 2016

AbstractIn this paper, we extend using the Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method together with the front tracking method to simulate the compressible two-medium flow on unstructured meshes. A Riemann problem is constructed in the normal direction in the material interfacial region, with the goal of obtaining a compact, robust and efficient procedure to track the explicit sharp interface precisely. Extensive numerical tests including the gas-gas and gas-liquid flows are provided to show the proposed methodologies possess the capability of enhancing the resolutions nearby the discontinuities inside of the single medium flow and the interfacial vicinities of the two-medium flow in many occasions.
XFEM for Fracture Analysis in 2D Anisotropic Elasticity
Authors: Jia Honggang , Nie Yufeng , Li Junlin 
Published: October 2016

AbstractIn this paper, a method is proposed for extracting fracture parameters in anisotropic thermoelasticity cracking via interaction integral method within the framework of extended finite element method (XFEM). The proposed method is applied to linear thermoelastic crack problems. The numerical results of the stress intensity factors (SIFs) are presented and compared with those reported in related references. The good agreement of the results obtained by the developed method with those obtained by other numerical solutions proves the applicability of the proposed approach and confirms its capability of efficiently extracting thermoelasticity fracture parameters in anisotropic materials.

The fractional equation with the left and right Caputo derivatives of orderα∈ (0,1] is transformed into its corresponding integral form. Next, we present a numerical solution of the integral form of the considered equation. On the basis of numerical results, the convergence of the proposed method is determined. Examples of numerical solutions of this equation are shown in the final part of this paper.
Anaerobic fitness assessment in taekwondo athletes. A new perspective
Authors: Rocha Fernando , Louro Hugo , Matias Ricardo , Costa Aldo 
Published: October 2016

<p>We intended to determine the concurrent validity of a taekwondo specific anaerobic test (TSAT) to assess anaerobic fitness in taekwondo athletes. Seventeen elite male subjects (17.59 ± 4.34 years of age; 1.72 m ± .07 m in height; 61.3 kg ± 8.7 kg in weight and 15.6% ± 8.5% in body fat) performed a TSAT, which consisted of kicking a punching bag for 30 seconds. The standard test was the Wingate Anaerobic Test. Two trials were made for both tests and the agreement between both was tested. The variables analysed and compared were: peak power; relative peak power; mean anaerobic power; relative mean anaerobic power; fatigue index and anaerobic capacity. The number of kicks performed in the TSAT protocol and the maximum height of the counter movement jump (CMJ) were also registered. Trial I and II had significant ICC results in all variables (<em>P </em>= .000) ranged between 0.56 and 0.97. Both protocols were significantly correlated (r = 0.55 to 0.88; P = .000 to .05). CMJ strongly correlated with the number of techniques (r=0.59; <em>P = </em>.013) and the mean power (r = 0.56; <em>P = </em>.019) of the TSAT. The variables between the two methods correlate and are consistent, except for the anaerobic capacity that although correlated, is not consistent with constant bias, P = 0.001; CI]-705.1;-370.2[. TSAT has a level of agreement with the Wingate, and assigns specificity in the evaluation of these variables.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
Le Grand réveil acadien : une nouvelle mise en relief de la présence acadienne en Louisiane
Authors: Rabalais Nathan 
Published: October 2016

En octobre 2015, le deuxième Grand réveil acadien (Gra) s’est déroulé à plusieurs endroits au sud de la Louisiane, commérant le 250e anniversaire de l’arrivée des Acadiens dans le territoire des Attakapas en 1765. Cet article présente les origines du Gra et les activités qui y ont eu lieu (musique, théâtre, ateliers de généalogie), en parallèle avec la première édition du Gra en 2011. L’événement est examiné dans une optique de mémoire collective et signale un contact accru entre la Louisiane et d’autres communautés francophones, notamment au Canada. Bien que le Gra puisse être vu comme le signe d’un intérêt renouvelé dans la promotion du français en Louisiane, cet événement reposerait sur un compromis entre la célébration d’une identité exclusivement acadienne et l’inclusion d’autres groupes francophones dans la Louisiane française et créole, un contexte très diversifié sur le plan culturel et ethnique.
La généalogie au service de l’histoire littéraire. Le cas de José Dubé dans Les Anciens Canadiens
Authors: Dubé Richard 
Published: October 2016

La généalogie, passion partagée par de nombreux adeptes, a parfois reçu mauvaise presse. Un débat public a récemment opposé l’historien journaliste Jean-François Nadeau du Devoir à une quarantaine de spécialistes en histoire ou en généalogie. La position nuancée d’André Burguière, éclaire le débat : la généalogie n’est pas indispensable à l’historien, mais elle est utile à la science historique, dont elle partage les préoccupations de méthode. Au cours des années 1960, le généalogiste Raymond Dubé a recueilli une mine d’informations sur les Dubé d’Amérique et de France. Avec bonheur nous avons découvert sa correspondance avec Luc Lacoucière et, avec étonnement, nous avons appris que José Dubé des Anciens Canadiens de Philippe-Aubert de Gaspé est plus qu’un personnage de légende : c’est un être bien réel. La recherche généalogique confirme qu’il est un descendant de Marie Campion et de Mathurin Dubé, les ancêtres de la lignée des Dubé d’Amérique.
Ceintures fléchées : l’envers du décor
Authors: Genest-LeBlanc Monique 
Published: October 2016

Faut-il révéler l’envers du décor qui corrige certains mythes et légendes, et faire connaître la vérité ? Ce que nous faisons dans notre étude de quelques cas. Érasme écrit en 1509 : « Les hommes ne veulent pas être dérangés dans leurs légendes et n’aiment pas qu’on change leur vérité. » Le jugement d’Érasme reste-t-il d’actualité ? Nous traitons ici des légendes écrites par Pierre Poulin en 1897 sur l’origine des ceintures fléchées ; de la ceinture d’Isaac Brock censée lui avoir été donnée par Tecumseh ; de la toile de Thielke, en 1838, des chefs hurons portant ceinture fléchée, laissant l’impression qu’ils en sont les auteurs ; d’une ceinture au Musée Pitt-Rivers en Angleterre rapportée du Canada et censée amérindienne des plaines de l’Ouest ; de l’écrit de Cécile Barot qui a porté à confusion en notant qu’on « tresse » les ceintures plutôt que les tisser. Nous constatons qu’on ne veut pas toujours accepter l’envers du décor.

Capacitive response and room-temperature terahertz gain of a Wannier–Stark ladder system in GaAs-based superlattices
Authors: Naka Akiyoshi , Hirakawa Kazuhiko , Unuma Takeya 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
We investigate the phase and terahertz (THz) gain of Bloch oscillations in GaAs-based superlattices at various temperatures of T = 80–298 K by using THz emission spectroscopy under bias electric fields. The transient current is found to start from its maximum nearly as damped cos ωB
t (ωB/2π: Bloch frequency) throughout this temperature range, having only a small initial phase even for kT > ħωB (k: Boltzmann constant) and dephasing time shortening with increasing temperature. A spectral analysis indicates inversionless THz gain that originates from the capacitive nature of a Wannier–Stark ladder system with broadened energy levels at room temperature.
Effect of plasma-catalyst system on NO removal using M–Cu (M = Mn, Ce, Cr, Co, and Fe) catalysts

Published: October 2016

Abstract
A series of M–Cu (M = Mn, Ce, Cr, Co, and Fe) bimetal oxide catalysts combined with plasma were prepared for NO
x
removal at various temperatures. All catalysts combined with plasma exhibited excellent deNO
x
activity. The Mn–Cu catalyst showed the highest selective catalytic reduction (SCR) activity; the NO removal efficiency of the Mn–Cu catalyst could reach 90% at a gas temperature of 25 °C. E/N increased as gas temperature increased; the mean electron energy and the proportion of high-energy electrons also increased considerably, producing more active radicals. Without any catalyst, the increase in temperature inhibited NO removal owing to O3 consumption. As the temperature increased, NO removal efficiency decreased below 100 °C; however, it increased in the range of 100–300 °C, and then decreased above 300 °C in the plasma-catalyst system. NO2 concentration decreased markedly at 150 °C via the fast SCR reaction.
Interpolation of 2‐D vector data using constraints from elasticity
Authors: Sandwell David T. , Wessel Paul 
Published: October 2016

AbstractWe present a method for interpolation of sparse two‐dimensional vector data. The method is based on the Green's functions of an elastic body subjected to in‐plane forces. This approach ensures elastic coupling between the two components of the interpolation. Users may adjust the coupling by varying Poisson's ratio. Smoothing can be achieved by ignoring the smallest eigenvalues in the matrix solution for the strengths of the unknown body forces. We demonstrate the method using irregularly distributed GPS velocities from southern California. Our technique has been implemented in both the Generic Mapping Tools and MATLAB®.
Geologic influence on groundwater salinity drives large seawater circulation through the continental shelf

Published: October 2016

AbstractObservations of offshore freshened groundwater and saline groundwater discharge along continental shelves have important implications for water resources, ecosystem function, and the composition of the ocean, but they cannot be explained by basic theory. We show that these independent observations are linked and result from processes that drive variable‐density groundwater flow through the spatial heterogeneity that is ubiquitous in geologic formations. We use lithologic data to develop geostatistical models that mimic the architecture of coastal aquifers. Simulation of groundwater flow and salt transport through these random realizations shows that heterogeneity produces spatially complex subsurface salinity distributions that extend tens of kilometers offshore, even at steady state. The associated density gradients drive high saline groundwater circulation rates that cannot be predicted by equivalent homogeneous models. Results suggest that these phenomena may be common along continental shelves, potentially altering estimates of ocean chemical budgets and impacting coastal water management for future generations.
Global linkages originating from decadal oceanic variability in the subpolar North Atlantic

Published: October 2016

AbstractThe anomalous decadal warming of the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean (SPNA), and the northward spreading of this warm water, has been linked to rapid Arctic sea ice loss and more frequent cold European winters. Recently, variations in this heat transport have also been reported to covary with global warming slowdown/acceleration periods via a Pacific climate response. We here examine the role of SPNA temperature variability in this Atlantic‐Pacific climate connectivity. We find that the evolution of ocean heat content anomalies from the subtropics to the subpolar region, likely due to ocean circulation changes, coincides with a basin‐wide Atlantic warming/cooling. This induces an Atlantic‐Pacific sea surface temperature seesaw, which in turn, strengthens/weakens the Walker circulation and amplifies the Pacific decadal variability that triggers pronounced global‐scale atmospheric circulation anomalies. We conclude that the decadal oceanic variability in the SPNA is an essential component of the tropical interactions between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Proton temperature relaxation in the solar wind by combined collective and collisional processes
Authors: Yoon Peter H. 
Published: October 2016

AbstractIt is well established that various plasma instabilities regulate the proton temperature anisotropy in the solar wind. However, the question of why majority of data in
phase space are broadly distributed near isotropic conditions has not been successfully addressed. Among possible causes are local perpendicular heating, binary collisions, and geometrical effects. The present paper examines the influence of binary collisions, based upon recently formulated collisional transport theory for magnetized plasmas combined with macroscopic quasilinear theory for proton cyclotron and parallel firehose instabilities. The spatial development of perpendicular and parallel temperatures for protons as well as spatial distribution of excited wave magnetic field energy density are studied by making use of model solar wind. The present finding suggests that binary collisions may contribute toward the isotropization process but does not completely explain the isotropization.
Temporal models for the episodic volcanism of Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) with uncertainty quantification

Published: October 2016

AbstractAfter the large‐scale event of Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (~15 ka B.P.), intense and mostly explosive volcanism has occurred within and along the boundaries of the Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy). Eruptions occurred closely spaced in time, over periods from a few centuries to a few millennia, and were alternated with periods of quiescence lasting up to several millennia. Often events also occurred closely in space, thus generating a cluster of events. This study had two main objectives: (1) to describe the uncertainty in the geologic record by using a quantitative model and (2) to develop, based on the uncertainty assessment, a long‐term subdomain specific temporal probability model that describes the temporal and spatial eruptive behavior of the caldera. In particular, the study adopts a space‐time doubly stochastic nonhomogeneous Poisson‐type model with a local self‐excitation feature able to generate clustering of events which are consistent with the reconstructed record of Campi Flegrei. Results allow the evaluation of similarities and differences between the three epochs of activity as well as to derive eruptive base rate of the caldera and its capacity to generate clusters of events. The temporal probability model is also used to investigate the effect of the most recent eruption of Monte Nuovo (A.D. 1538) in a possible reactivation of the caldera and to estimate the time to the next eruption under different volcanological and modeling assumptions.
