The imaginative mind
Authors: Abraham Anna 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThe astounding capacity for the human imagination to be engaged across a wide range of contexts is limitless and fundamental to our day‐to‐day experiences. Although processes of imagination are central to human psychological function, they rarely occupy center stage in academic discourse or empirical study within psychological and neuroscientific realms. The aim of this paper is to tackle this imbalance by drawing together the multitudinous facets of imagination within a common framework. The processes fall into one of five categories depending on whether they are characterized as involving perceptual/motor related mental imagery, intentionality or recollective processing, novel combinatorial or generative processing, exceptional phenomenology in the aesthetic response, or altered psychological states which range from commonplace to dysfunctional. These proposed categories are defined on the basis of theoretical ideas from philosophy as well as empirical evidence from neuroscience. By synthesizing the findings across these domains of imagination, this novel five‐part or quinquepartite classification of the human imagination aids in systematizing, and thereby abets, our understanding of the workings and neural foundations of the human imagination. It would serve as a blueprint to direct further advances in the field of imagination while also promoting crosstalk with reference to stimulus‐oriented facets of information processing. A biologically and ecologically valid psychology is one that seeks to explain fundamental aspects of human nature. Given the ubiquitous nature of the imaginative operations in our daily lives, there can be little doubt that these quintessential aspects of the mind should be central to the discussion.

AbstractLongitudinal designs are widely used in medical studies as a means of observing within‐subject changes over time in groups of subjects, thereby aiming to improve sensitivity for detecting disease effects. Paralleling an increased use of such studies in neuroimaging has been the adoption of pattern recognition algorithms for making individualized predictions of disease. However, at present few pattern recognition methods exist to make full use of neuroimaging data that have been collected longitudinally, with most methods relying instead on cross‐sectional style analysis. This article presents a principal component analysis‐based feature construction method that uses longitudinal high‐dimensional data to improve predictive performance of pattern recognition algorithms. The method can be applied to data from a wide range of longitudinal study designs and permits an arbitrary number of time‐points per subject. We apply the method to two longitudinal datasets, one containing subjects with mild cognitive impairment along with healthy controls, the other with early dementia subjects and healthy controls. Across both datasets, we show improvements in predictive accuracy relative to cross‐sectional classifiers for discriminating disease subjects from healthy controls on the basis of whole‐brain structural magnetic resonance image‐based voxels. In addition, we can transfer longitudinal information from one set of subjects to make disease predictions in another set of subjects. The proposed method is simple and, as a feature construction method, flexible with respect to the choice of classifier and image registration algorithm.

Calorie Labeling in Chain Restaurants and Body Weight: Evidence from New York
Authors: Restrepo Brandon J. 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThis study analyzes the impact of local mandatory calorie labeling laws implemented by New York jurisdictions on body weight. The analysis indicates that on average the point‐of‐purchase provision of calorie information on chain restaurant menus reduced body mass index (BMI) by 1.5% and lowered the risk of obesity by 12%. Quantile regression results indicate that calorie labeling has similar impacts across the BMI distribution. An analysis of heterogeneity suggests that calorie labeling has a larger impact on the body weight of lower income individuals, especially lower income minorities. The estimated impacts of calorie labeling on physical activity, smoking, and the consumption of alcoholic beverages, fruits, and vegetables are small in magnitude, which suggests that other margins of adjustment drive the body‐weight impacts estimated here.

ENABLING AGILE SECURITY WITH MBSE AND UPDM
Authors: Papke Barry 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACTThe agile, evolving threat environment and the increasing cost of damage being inflicted is placing tremendous pressure on the systems engineering discipline to design and implement effective security capabilities. One promising approach is the application of agile systems architecture to the design of system security. In order to be successful, however, systems engineers and security engineers will need to adopt a common design language and a common reference architecture that supports the definition and design of a system that has both resilience and continuous evolution of security capability. This paper presents an approach to overcome these obstacles through application of model‐based systems engineering and use of enterprise architecture frameworks to address specific elements of an agile systems architecture which resides in both the design time and operating time domains.

Published: July 2016

PurposeTo develop an accelerated SEMAC metal implant MRI technique (Sparse‐SEMAC) with reduced scan time and improved metal distortion correction.MethodsSparse‐SEMAC jointly exploits the inherent sparsity along the additional phase‐encoding dimension and multicoil encoding capabilities to significantly accelerate data acquisition. A prototype pulse sequence with pseudorandom ky‐kz undersampling and an inline image reconstruction was developed for integration in clinical studies. Three patients with hip implants were imaged using the proposed Sparse‐SEMAC with eight‐fold acceleration and compared with the standard‐SEMAC technique used in clinical studies (three‐fold GRAPPA acceleration). Measurements were performed with SEMAC‐encoding steps (SES) = 15 for Sparse‐SEMAC and SES = 9 for Standard‐SEMAC using high spatial resolution Proton Density (PD) and lower‐resolution STIR acquisitions. Two expert musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologists performed a consensus reading to score image‐quality parameters.ResultsSparse‐SEMAC enables up to eight‐fold acceleration of data acquisition that results in two‐fold scan time reductions, compared with Standard‐SEMAC, with improved metal artifact correction for patients with hip implants without degrading spatial resolution.ConclusionThe high acceleration enabled by Sparse‐SEMAC would enable clinically feasible examination times with improved correction of metal distortion.

AbstractAlveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is an aggressive paediatric cancer of skeletal muscle with poor prognosis. A PAX3–FOXO1 fusion protein acts as a driver of malignancy in ARMS by disrupting tightly coupled but mutually exclusive pathways of proliferation and differentiation. While PAX3–FOXO1 is an attractive therapeutic target, no current treatments are designed to block its oncogenic activity. The present work shows that the histone acetyltransferase P/CAF (KAT2B) is overexpressed in primary tumours from ARMS patients. Interestingly, in fusion‐positive ARMS cell lines, P/CAF acetylates and stabilizes PAX3–FOXO1 rather than MyoD, a master regulator of muscle differentiation. Silencing P/CAF, or pharmacological inhibition of its acetyltransferase activity, down‐regulates PAX3–FOXO1 levels concomitant with reduced proliferation and tumour burden in xenograft mouse models. Our studies identify a P/CAF–PAX3–FOXO1 signalling node that promotes oncogenesis and may contribute to MyoD dysfunction in ARMS. This work exemplifies the therapeutic potential of targeting chromatin‐modifying enzymes to inhibit fusion oncoproteins that are a frequent event in sarcomas.

Published: July 2016

AbstractA thin SiOyNx film was inserted below a conventional SiNx antireflection coating used in c‐Si solar cells in order to improve the surface passivation and the solar cell's resistance to potential‐induced degradation (PID). The effect of varying the flow ratio of the N2O and SiH4 precursors and the deposition temperature for the SiOyNx thin film upon material properties were systematically investigated. An excellent surface passivation was obtained on FZ p‐type polished silicon wafers, with the best results obtained with a SiOyNx film deposited at a very low temperature of 130 °C and with an optical refractive index of 1.8. In the SiOyNx/SiNx stack structure, a SiOyNx film with ~6 nm thickness is sufficient to provide excellent surface passivation with an effective surface recombination velocity Seff < 2 cm/s. Furthermore, we applied the optimized SiOyNx/SiNx stack on multicrystalline Si solar cells as a surface passivation and antireflection coating, resulting in a 0.5% absolute average conversion efficiency gain compared with that of reference cells with conventional SiNx coating. Moreover, the cells with the SiOyNx/SiNx stack layers show a significant increase in their resistance to PID. Nearly zero degradation in shunt resistance was obtained after 24 h in a PID test, while a single SiNx‐coated silicon solar cell showed almost 50% degradation after 24 h.

Universal power law behavior of the AC conductivity versus frequency of agglomerate morphologies in conductive carbon nanotube‐reinforced epoxy networks
Authors: Greenhoe Brian M. , Hassan Mohammad K. , Wiggins Jeffrey S. , Mauritz Kenneth A. 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACTThe Jonscher universal power law for ac conductivity versus frequency (f = ω/2π) in the dispersion region was tested for a multiwall carbon nanotube/epoxy nanocomposite. The effect of changes in agglomerate morphology on the fitting parameters A and n in the equation σac = Aωn was investigated. Changing nanotube agglomerate morphology was tracked by optical microscopy through curing. Evolving morphology was compared alongside ac conductivity obtained via a broadband dielectric spectrometer to elucidate possible physical meaning of the universal power law in the context of this system. The −logA/n was unaffected by changes in agglomerate morphology affected during cure, yet connected with each other in their dependence on temperature. For this system, the relationship between the fitting parameters in the universal dynamic response equation remains empirical at this stage with regard to biphasic “texture” or morphology within such a network. Electrical conductivity σ versus frequency ω for a composite consisting of agglomerated multiwalled carbon nanotubes dispersed throughout a cured epoxy matrix was discovered to follow the empirical universal dynamic response equation of Jonscher. The frequency behavior of the exponent n is discussed in terms of underlying morphology throughout which charge carriers migrate. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

Authors: Urbieta Pablo , Lee HO Linda , Alencar Airlane 
Published: July 2016

In public health surveillance, control charts based on the daily number of hospitalizations may be monitored to detect outbreaks and/or to plan the offer of health assistance. A generalized linear model with negative binomial distribution is proposed to the number of hospitalizations, and it depends on the exposed population and covariates, as the day of week and sines and cosines to describe the seasonality. The objective of this study is to compare (in terms of ARL1) the exponentially weighted moving average and the cumulative sum control charts for monitoring daily counts based on simulations of the daily number of hospitalizations due to respiratory diseases for people over 65 years old in São Paulo city (Brazil).

Ca2Mg5GeN6 – A Layered Nitridomagnesogermanate
Authors: Poesl Christine , Schnick Wolfgang 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThe nitridomagnesogermanate Ca2Mg5GeN6 was synthesized at 780 °C using a sodium flux in sealed tantalum ampules. Pure metals were used as starting materials and sodium azide NaN3 was added as nitrogen source. Ca2Mg5GeN6 was obtained as a byproduct in the form of colorless platelet‐like crystals. Solution and refinement of the crystal structure [space group P63/mmc (no. 194), Z = 1, a = 3.453(2), c = 17.506(13) Å and V = 180.8(2) Å3] were performed on the basis of single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data. Ca2Mg5GeN6 represents the first layered nitridogermanate. Its structure is made up of corner‐sharing (Mg/Ge)N4 tetrahedra and corner‐sharing trigonal planar (Mg/Ge)N3 units with mixed occupancy of Mg and Ge. Ca2+ ions are located in between the sheets. The crystal structure is closely related to that of the nitridomagnesoaluminate CaMg2AlN3 as well as to the carbides ScAl3C3 and UAl3C3.
Estimation of the water quality of a large urbanized river as defined by the European WFD: what is the optimal sampling frequency?

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Assessment of the quality of freshwater bodies is essential to determine the impact of human activities on water resources. The water quality status is estimated by comparing indicators with standard thresholds. Indicators are usually statistical criteria that are calculated on discrete measurements of water quality variables. If the time step of the measured time series is not sufficient to fully capture the variable’s variability, the deduced indicator may not reflect the system’s functioning. The goal of the present work is to assess, through a hydro-biogeochemical modeling approach, the optimal sampling frequency for an accurate estimation of 6 water quality indicators defined by the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) in a large human-impacted river, which receives large urban effluents (the Seine River across the Paris urban area). The optimal frequency depends on the sampling location and on the monitored variable. For fast varying compounds that originate from urban effluents, such as PO

and O 2, monthly sampling can be sufficient for an accurate estimation of WFD indicators in locations far enough from major effluents. Integrative water quality variables, such as O 2, can be highly sensitive to hydrological conditions. It would therefore be relevant to assess the quality of water bodies at a seasonal scale rather than at annual or pluri-annual scales. This study points out the possibility to develop smarter monitoring systems by coupling both time adaptative automated monitoring networks and modeling tools used as spatio-temporal interpolators.

Published: July 2016

Background There is a renewed interest in joint preservation surgery, and lateral opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy (DFO), a joint-preserving procedure, has been used to treat symptomatic genu valgum when the deformity originates in the distal femur. Questions/Purposes This study aimed to measure the accuracy of lateral opening wedge DFO in achieving deformity correction using radiographic parameters. In addition, the ability of lateral opening wedge DFO to improve patient outcomes as measured by Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores and American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) lower limb module (LLM) scores leading to successful joint preservation was assessed. Methods The clinical charts and radiographs of 28 consecutive patients that underwent 41 DFOs (15 unilateral and 13 staged bilateral) using a locking plate construct were retrospectively reviewed. The mean age of patients undergoing DFO was 44 years (range 22–72), and 22 of the patients were female. The mean follow-up was 26 months (range 12–57 months). Preoperative and postoperative radiographs were evaluated for mechanical axis deviation (MAD), lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA), and the patella congruence angle (PCA). These measurements were compared to determine the accuracy of deformity correction. Clinical outcomes were assessed with preoperative and postoperative SF-36 and AAOS LLM, as well as Oxford knee scores at follow-up. Results The accuracy of deformity correction was 95%. The MAD significantly improved from 25.3 mm lateral to the midline to 8 mm medial to the midline ( p < 0.01). The LDFA significantly improved from 83.4° to 91.7° ( p < 0.01). The PCA significantly improved from 30.4° lateral to 5.7° lateral ( p = 0.02). Mean SF-36 scores significantly improved from 37.5 to 50.2 ( p = 0.01); mean LLM scores improved from 71.6 to 85.9 ( p = 0.021), and the mean postoperative Oxford knee score was 35 ± 6.2 (range 23–46). No patients required total knee arthroplasty at the time of final follow-up. Conclusion Opening wedge lateral DFO is a reliable procedure for the treatment of valgus knee malalignment with or without arthritic changes in the lateral compartment. Deformity correction is accurate, and patient outcomes reveal significant improvement after surgery. Longer follow-up is required to access the survivorship of this procedure.

Abstract
To determine whether the presence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) per se, or rather the co-presence of heart failure (HF), is the primum movens for less effective stem cell products in autologous stem cell therapy, we assessed numbers and function of bone marrow (BM)-derived progenitor cells in patients with coronary artery disease (n = 17), HF due to ischemic cardiomyopathy (n = 8), non-ischemic HF (n = 7), and control subjects (n = 11). Myeloid and erythroid differentiation capacity of BM-derived mononuclear cells was impaired in patients with underlying IHD but not with non-ischemic HF. Migration capacity decreased with increasing IHD severity. Hence, IHD, with or without associated cardiomyopathy, is an important determinant of progenitor cell function. No depletion of hematopoietic and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) within the BM was observed, while circulating EPC numbers were increased in the presence of IHD, suggesting active recruitment. The observed myelosuppression was not driven by inflammation and thus other mechanisms are at play.
Recognition of Normal Fetal Cardiac Structures

Published: July 2016

AbstractFetal heart examination requires in depth knowledge of fetal cardiac physiology and fetal cardiac anatomy. Therefore, the cardiac sonographer must possess considerable skills to acquire optimum images on cardiac anatomy on predefined standard views. An appropriate interpretation of acquired fetal cardiac images is also a basic requirement that is expected from a cardiac sonographer. Any cardiac ultrasound operator who performs the fetal heart scan is expected to recognize normal cardiac structures, to assess myocardial function and heart rhythm but also should be able to pick up any deviation from well-defined normality.

Sur les processus arithmétiques liés aux diviseurs
Authors: de la Bretèche R. , Tenenbaum G. 
Published: July 2016

AbstractFor natural integer n, let Dn denote the random variable taking the values log d for d dividing n with uniform probability 1/τ(n). Then t↦ℙ(Dn≤nt) (0≤t≤1) is an arithmetic process with respect to the uniform probability over the first N integers. It is known from previous works that this process converges to a limit law and that the same holds for various extensions. We investigate the generalized moments of arbitrary orders for the limit laws. We also evaluate the mean value of the two-dimensional distribution function ℙ(Dn≤nu, D{n/Dn}≤nv).
More on hypergeometric Lévy processes
Authors: Horton Emma L. , Kyprianou Andreas E. 
Published: July 2016

AbstractKuznetsov and co-authors in 2011‒14 introduced the family of hypergeometric Lévy processes. They appear naturally in the study of fluctuations of stable processes when one analyses stable processes through the theory of positive self-similar Markov processes. Hypergeometric Lévy processes are defined through their characteristic exponent, which, as a complex-valued function, has four independent parameters. In 2014 it was shown that the definition of a hypergeometric Lévy process could be taken to include a greater range of the aforesaid parameters than originally specified. In this short article, we push the parameter range even further.
