Performing Desire: Race, Sex, and the Ethnographic Encounter
Authors: Lawrence Sidra 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Drawing from ethnographic field research in northwestern Ghana, I investigate the public discourse of desire by recounting the experience of a personal relationship. I dislocate presumptions about dichotomous power differentials between the researcher and researched and instead investigate the complex, sometimes contradictory navigation of human relationships. I argue that the performance of desire is understood only through a culturally intelligible lens that in this case exposes the mechanisms that inform gendered and racialized subjectivity. Navigating the terrain of desiring and being desired and the culturally specific terms through which desire is produced directs us toward a relationally constructed understanding of subjectivity.
An Audience of One: The Private Music of the Chinese Literati
Authors: Yung Bell 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
China’s qin music is historically associated with the literati, who play primarily for themselves as a private activity. While they consider the meaning and significance of the music more important than communicating the musical sound to an audience, they nevertheless also enjoy it as expressive art. This article argues that in playing privately, the player turns inwardly toward himself rather than outwardly toward an audience. In such a performance environment, music and musicality need to be assessed by criteria different from those commonly accepted, which are based on the supposition that music is a social activity with the primary goal of communicating to an audience.
Inleiding: beter zicht op de Nederlandse lokale democratie
Authors: van der Kolk Henk 
Published: November 2017

Introduction: a better view of Dutch local democracy
Tom van der Meer (University of Amsterdam) and Henk van der Kolk (University of Twente) are the guest editors of this special issue on local electoral research in the Netherlands. In the introduction Henk van der Kolk describes the background of the first Local Electoral Research (LKO) performed in the Netherlands in 2016. Weighted data were used from the representative LISS-panel existing of 5000 households from all over the Netherlands. The LKO could become an instrument to obtain an integral view of the state of the local democracy from the perspective of the citizen. The articles in this special issue show on the basis of the LKO data to what extent the two divergent views of local democracy correspond with the facts. The first view is that of a local democracy standing close to its citizens, the other view is that of a local government as a derivative of national government.

Challenges for administration and politics at the municipal level: the citizen perspective
For the legitimacy and ability of governments it is crucial to have insight in the worries of citizens about society and politics. In the Netherlands these worries are at the national level systematically mapped by the Dutch Social and Cultural Planning Agency (SCP) through their Continuous Research Citizen Perspectives (COB) for almost ten years now. At the local level there is a lack of information about what worries citizens. Insight in locally experienced problems will probably become even more important in the coming years because of the recent decentralizations of national governmental tasks to the municipalities. This article investigates which problems citizens perceive in their municipalities based on an analysis of data from the Local Electoral Research (LKO). The authors find a number of striking differences with the problems that are perceived at the national level in the same period. The municipal issues citizens mention offer opportunities, but they also point to the limited impact force of the municipal level of government. All in all the research findings are indicative of a substantial added value of the LKO with respect to the already longer running COB.
A unified approach to model peripheral nerves across different animal species
Authors: Giannessi Elisabetta , Stornelli Maria Rita , Sergi Pier Nicola 
Published: November 2017

Peripheral nerves are extremely complex biological structures. The knowledge of their response to stretch is crucial to better understand physiological and pathological states (e.g., due to overstretch). Since their mechanical response is deterministically related to the nature of the external stimuli, theoretical and computational tools were used to investigate their behaviour. In this work, a Yeoh-like polynomial strain energy function was used to reproduce the response ofin vitroporcine nerve. Moreover, this approach was applied to different nervous structures coming from different animal species (rabbit, lobster,Aplysia) and tested for different amount of stretch (up to extreme ones). Starting from this theoretical background, in silico models of both porcine nerves and cerebro-abdominal connective ofAplysiawere built to reproduce experimental data (R2 > 0.9). Finally, bi-dimensional in silico models were provided to reduce computational time of more than 90% with respect to the performances of fully three-dimensional models.

Published: November 2017

AbstractRelativistic electrons in the outer radiation belt are highly dynamic and respond to interplanetary solar wind structures interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. A known mechanism dictating electron dynamics is the drift‐resonant interaction with ultralow frequency (ULF) waves. The present work simulates the ring current and radiation belt electron populations in the bounce‐averaged, kinetic Comprehensive Inner Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere model coupled with the Block Adaptive Tree Solar Wind Roe‐type Upwind Scheme global magnetospheric magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code using an idealized ULF wave solar wind density driver. ULF waves generated with 10 min periods (at 1.67 mHz frequencies) in the MHD model are characterized and the corresponding energization of electrons and radial transport of electron phase space density is presented. The drift‐resonant electron energy is determined in the simulation and is consistent with the electron resonance conditions in dipolar magnetic fields. The present results will be an important component of understanding inner magnetospheric dynamics and how these inner magnetospheric populations interact with ULF waves resulting from interplanetary solar wind structures.
What Drives Carbon Isotope Fractionation by the Terrestrial Biosphere?
Authors: Still Christopher , Rastogi Bharat 
Published: November 2017

AbstractDuring photosynthesis, terrestrial plants preferentially assimilate the lighter and much more abundant form of carbon, 12C, which accounts for roughly 99% of naturally occurring forms of this element. This photosynthetic preference for lighter carbon is driven principally by differences in molecular diffusion of carbon dioxide with differing 13C/12C across stomatal pores on leaves, followed by differences in carboxylation rates by the Rubisco enzyme that is central to the process of photosynthesis. As a result of these slight preferences, which work out to about a 2% difference in the fixation rates of 12CO2 versus 13CO2 by C3 vegetation, plant tissues are depleted in the heavier form of carbon (13C) relative to atmospheric CO2. This difference has been exploited in a wide range of scientific applications, as the photosynthetic isotope signature is passed to ecosystem carbon pools and through ecological food webs. What is less appreciated is the signature that terrestrial carbon exchanges leave on atmospheric CO2, as the net uptake of carbon by land plants during their growing season not only draws down the local CO2 concentration, it also leaves behind relatively more CO2 molecules containing 13C. The converse happens outside the growing season, when autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration predominate. During these periods, atmospheric CO2 concentration increases and its corresponding carbon isotope composition becomes relatively depleted in 13C as the products of photosynthesis are respired, along with some small isotope fractionation that happen downstream of the initial photosynthetic assimilation. Similar phenomena were first observed at shorter time scales by the eminent carbon cycle scientist, Charles (Dave) Keeling. Keeling collected samples of air in glass flasks from sites along the Big Sur coast that he later measured for CO2 concentration and carbon isotope composition (δ13C) in his lab (Keeling, 1998). From these samples, Keeling observed increasing CO2 concentrations at night compared to the day, along with corresponding depletions in their δ13C. These phenomena were understood at the time to be driven by interactions between ecosystem carbon exchanges and vertical movements of the atmospheric boundary layer (Keeling, 1958).
The Role of African Dust in Atlantic Climate During Heinrich Events
Authors: Murphy L. N. , Goes M. , Clement A. C. 
Published: November 2017

AbstractIncreased ice discharge in the North Atlantic is thought to cause a weakening, or collapse, of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) during Heinrich events. Paleoclimate records indicate that these periods were marked by severe tropical aridity and dustiness. Although the driver of these events is still under debate, large freshwater input is necessary for climate models to simulate the magnitude, geographical extent, and abruptness of these events, indicating that they may be missing feedbacks. We hypothesize that the dust‐climate feedback is one such feedback that has not been previously considered. Here we analyze the role of dust‐climate feedbacks on the AMOC by parameterizing the dust radiative effects in an intermediate complexity model and consider uncertainties due to wind stress forcing and the magnitude of both atmospheric dust loading and freshwater hosing. We simulate both stable and unstable AMOC regimes by changing the prescribed wind stress forcing. In the unstable regime, additional dust loading during Heinrich events cools and freshens the North Atlantic and abruptly reduces the AMOC by 20% relative to a control simulation. In the stable regime, however, additional dust forcing alone does not alter the AMOC strength. Including both freshwater and dust forcing results in a cooling of the subtropical North Atlantic more comparable to proxy records than with freshwater forcing alone. We conclude that dust‐climate feedbacks may provide amplification to Heinrich cooling by further weakening AMOC and increasing North Atlantic sea ice coverage.
The Secular Variation of the Center of Geomagnetic South Atlantic Anomaly and Its Effect on the Distribution of Inner Radiation Belt Particles

Published: November 2017

AbstractIn this study, we carry out a comprehensive analysis of secular variation of the South Atlantic Anomaly. The center location of the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is derived from the proton flux measurements of different energy channels by SAMPEX (Solar Anomalous and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer)/PET (Proton/Electron Telescope). The results are compared with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Medium Energy Proton and Electron Detector observations and the International Geomagnetic Reference Field 12 (IGRF12) geomagnetic field model. It is found that different energy protons have different behaviors while the center location of the SAA changes with altitude. The IGRF12 magnetic field can explain the observations to a limited extent. Possible reasons for the differences are discussed. It is confirmed that center location of the SAA is also affected by atmospheric density at SAMPEX altitudes. The results could be helpful for constructing inner radiation belt models.

‐Linked Intellectual Disability
Authors: Lisik Małgorzata Z 
Published: November 2017

Abstract

X‐linked intellectual disability (XLID), formerly called
mental retardation
, refers to a group of inherited disorders characterised by varying degrees of intellectual disability caused by mutations in various genes present on the X‐chromosome. Deleterious mutations in
∼
10% of X‐chromosome X genes are implicated in causing XLID disorders in
∼
50% of families. The remaining XLID genes are expected to be rare and even private to individual families. Historically, XLID is divided into syndromic (IDXS) and nonsyndromic (IDX). At least 209 different XLID disorders have been described including 143 forms of syndromic mental retardation. Fragile X syndrome is the most frequent syndrome and most studied XLID syndrome. It is now possible to identify 64% of the genetic defects in XLID families with obligate female carriers. Most of the mutated genes in XLID are thought to influence development, cell migration, formation and maintenance of neural networks and cell‐to‐cell communication in the brain. Thus, the diagnosis of intellectual disability in a child has an enormous impact in most affected families. Genetic counselling is strongly recommended to family members.

Key Concepts

X‐linked intellectual disability (XLID) is a very heterogeneous set of conditions responsible for a large proportion of inherited mental retardation.

XLID can be divided into syndromic (MRID) and nonsyndromic (IDX).

Genes involved in XLID influence development, cell migration, formation and maintenance of neural networks and cell‐to‐cell communication in the brain.

Intellectual disability phenotype can emerge as the final common pathway for many different types of abnormal cellular processing.

Genetic counselling is an important part in general management in the case of intellectual disability.

Published: November 2017

AbstractStructure‐engineered Pd‐based catalysts at the atomic level can effectively improve the catalytic performance for oxygen or small organic molecules electrocatalysis, comparable to or even superior to that of commercial Pt/C. Here, PdCuCo anisotropic structure (AS) electrocatalysts are synthesized with abundant vacancy defects on the exterior surface, which is unambiguously verified by aberration‐corrected transmission electron microscopy. The PdCuCo‐AS with vacancy (v‐PdCuCo‐AS) shows excellent electrochemical activity toward oxygen reduction (ORR) and oxidation of alcohols. The mass activity of the v‐PdCuCo‐AS is 0.18 A mg−1 at 0.9 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), which is 15.55 times larger than that of the commercial Pd/C catalyst in acidic electrolyte. According to the theoretical calculations, this significant improvement can be understood as a result of the promoted charge transfer by polarized electronic structures of the v‐PdCuCo‐AS in the processes of ORR. The synergistic effect of the correlated defects and the compressive strain caused by the doping Co and Cu atoms effectively improve the electrocatalysis activity for the ORR in acidic/alkaline electrolyte on the v‐PdCuCo‐AS stems. This approach provides a strategy to design other AS structures for improving their electrochemical performance.

Published: November 2017

AbstractPlasmonic structures exhibit promising applications in high‐resolution and durable color generation. Research on advanced hybrid plasmonic materials that allow dynamically reconfigurable color control has developed rapidly in recent years. Some of these results may give rise to practically applicable reflective displays in living colors with high performance and low power consumption. They will attract broad interest from display markets, compared with static plasmonic color printing, for example, in applications such as digital signage, full‐color electronic paper, and electronic device screens. In this progress report, the most promising recent examples of utilizing advanced plasmonic materials for the realization of dynamic color display are highlighted and put into perspective. The performances, advantages, and disadvantages of different technologies are discussed, with emphasis placed on both the potential and possible limitations of various hybrid materials for dynamic plasmonic color display.
Interface and Morphology Control of the Thermal Conductivity in Core–Shell Particle Colloidal Crystals
Authors: Ruckdeschel Pia , Retsch Markus 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe thermal transport properties of nanostructured composite colloidal assemblies are investigated. These are of importance for future phase change material applications, which increasingly address the micrometer and sub‐micrometer ranges. Polystyrene silica core–shell colloidal particles sizes of 270–480 nm and shell thicknesses of 15–42 nm are used as a structurally well‑defined model system. This allows deducing precise structure property relationships with the lowest thermal conductivity being observed for particles with a large diameter, a thin shell thickness, and the highest polymer content. Importantly, clear evidence is found for polymer leakage through 15 nm silica shells when exceeding the glass transition temperature of the core polymer. This leads to a steady increase in thermal conductivity but also presents a lower limit for the silica shell thickness to contain the second phase. For a complete understanding, the findings are discussed in the light of colloidal crystals consisting of pure silica and polystyrene particles. Solid silica sphere colloidal crystals possess the highest thermal conductivity, and pure polymer beads the lowest. This demonstrates to which extent the thermal transport properties can be solely adjusted by the particle composition and morphology.

Published: November 2017

AbstractSurfaces of plants and animals are evolved to optimal states to accommodate environments better after billions of years of natural selection. As the development of further study on bionics, surfaces with special wetting properties in nature are discovered, extremely related to the micro‐/nanostructures on surface. The wetting models and wetting mechanism of several surfaces in nature are investigated, followed by lifting the veil of superhydrophobic field. Various facile, effective, and convenient methods for fabricating superhydrophobic surfaces are obtained and optimized in scientific research and practice. The possibility of wide application for superhydrophobic surface on production and life is improved via the promotion in fabrication ability. This paper is ranged from four main parts, including wetting models, wetting mechanism on various typical surfaces in nature, frequently used fabricating methods for superhydrophobic surfaces in recent years, and application of superhydrophobic material surfaces in three main aspects. It is really hoped that this review article can provide a useful guide for development of superhydrophobic surface in further study.
