Published: March 2016

AbstractSpotted Seatrout Cynoscion nebulosus are a highly valued recreational inshore species in Mississippi coastal waters. The accurate description of the length‐at‐age relationship is critical for assessment efforts of the stock. Because Spotted Seatrout exhibit small‐scale movements, the stocks in the Gulf of Mexico are managed as state‐specific units. Therefore, local demographic estimates of length at age are needed for assessment. We estimated the length‐at‐age relationship of Spotted Seatrout in Mississippi by using tag recapture records and otolith‐derived age estimates. Three nonlinear length‐at‐age models were fit to sex‐aggregated, tag recapture data and four nonlinear length‐at‐age models were fit to sex‐specific, otolith‐derived age data. For each suite of models, model support was determined using Akaike information criteria. The Francis (1988a) GROTAG method had the greatest support of the three models fit to the tag recapture data, and the resulting parameter estimates from the model were L∞ = 550.8 mm and k = 0.45/year. The three‐parameter logistic model had the greatest support of the four models fit to the otolith‐derived age data for both males and females and the resulting parameter estimates of L∞ were 605.3 mm TL for females and 574.9 mm TL for males. The results of this study indicate that (1) the Francis (1988a) GROTAG model was the best‐supported method for the determination of the von Bertalanffy growth function parameters from tag recapture information, and (2) the von Bertalanffy growth function may not be the best model to describe the length‐at‐age relationship of Mississippi's Spotted Seatrout. This work highlights the utility of using multiple sources of length‐at‐age information and fitting multiple models to enhance both the description of the length‐at‐age relationship and to determine biases that occur in both.Received July 13, 2015; accepted November 3, 2015
C.G. Jung and the indigenous psyche: two encounters
Authors: Barton David G. 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACTIn The Lament of the Dead, James Hillman quotes Foucault as saying there are two ways to escape ‘the box of contemporary thinking’. One path lies through erudition, the other through the indigenous experience. While the history of Jung's ideas has been thoroughly explored, we understand little about his encounters with indigenous people in the American Southwest. For example, the literature on his visit to Taos Pueblo is riddled with misleading information. Part of the problem begins with Jung's own confusion regarding his contact at Taos with Antonio Mirabal. Not only did Jung wrongly believe that Mirabal was an ‘Indian chief’; he misspelled and mistranslated his Tiwa name, Ochwiay Biano. Although the encounter could be described (at one level) as superficial, Jung refers to it as one of the most important experiences of his life. This paper will explore what Jung seems to have encountered in Taos, and the ways his experience were orchestrated by the unseen presence of others (including Mabel Dodge Lujan, D.H. Lawrence, and Jaime de Angulo). Archival records and news accounts from the 1920s show that although Jung imagined he was meeting face to face with a ‘primitive' who still lived in the world of ‘participation mystique’, Mirabal was a gifted Native American impresario who later visited one American president and turned down an invitation to visit a second. I argue that the complex of colonialism surrounding Jung's relationship with Mirabal has infected subsequent encounters between the Jungian tradition and indigenous people.

Corrosion behavior of amorphous Zr59Nb3Al10Ni8Cu20 alloy in aqueous HNO3 media
Authors: Sharma Poonam , Dhawan Anil , Sharma S. K. 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper was to investigate the corrosion behavior of the Zr59Nb3Al10Ni8Cu20 amorphous alloy in aqueous 1M, 6M and 11.5M HNO3 media using potentiodynamic polarization and weight loss determinations.

Design/methodology/approach
– The electrochemical study, weight loss analysis and surface investigation were carried out on amorphous Zr59Nb3Al10Ni8Cu20 alloy that had been immersed in aqueous HNO3 medium at room temperature to understand the corrosion behavior of Zr-based amorphous Zr59Nb3Al10Ni8Cu20 alloy. The amorphous state of the alloy was investigated using X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical studies were carried out in aqueous 1M, 6M and 11.5M HNO3 media by recording open circuit potential/time and potentiodynamic polarization characteristics. Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to examine the surface morphology of the alloy after the electrochemical tests and weight loss determinations.

Findings
– The electrochemical results revealed that Ecorr values shifted toward more noble values, as the concentration of the nitric acid was increased, and this was attributed to the higher oxidizing power of the nitric acid. The higher value of corrosion current density was obtained for the Zr59Nb3Al10Ni8Cu20 amorphous alloy in aqueous 11.5M HNO3 medium at room temperature. The optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy examinations revealed that the formation of protective oxide layer on the surface of amorphous Zr59Nb3Al10Ni8Cu20 alloy leads to the improvement in the corrosion behavior in nitric acid medium at room temperature.

Originality/value
– The results can be helpful in finding the suitable material for fuel reprocessing applications.
Nonlinear ultrasonic characterization of intergranular corrosion damage in super 304H steel tube
Authors: Zhong Fei , Zhang Chunlei , Li Wensheng , Jiao Jingpin , Zhong Liqiang 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
– Super304H steel is a new fine-grained austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel developed in recent years, and it is widely used in high temperature section superheater and reheater tubes of ultra-supercritical thermal power units’ boiler. Currently intergranular corrosion (IGC) has occurred in a few austenitic stainless steel tubes in ultra-supercritical units and led to boiler leakage. The purpose of this paper is to find a nondestructive method to quickly and easily detect IGC of austenitic stainless steel tube.

Design/methodology/approach
– This paper uses the nonlinear characteristics of ultrasonic propagation in steel tube to detect the IGC of Super304H tube.

Findings
– The experimental results show that the nonlinear coefficient generally increases sensitively with the degree of IGC; hence, the nonlinear coefficient can be used to assess IGC degree of tubes, and the nonlinear coefficient measurement method is repeatable for the same tube.

Research limitations/implications
– A theory of how IGC would affect the ultrasonic signals and lead to a nonlinear response needs further research.

Practical implications
– A nondestructive method to quickly and easily detect IGC is provided.

Social implications
– Using ultrasonic nonlinear coefficient to assess IGC degree of tubes is a new try.

Originality/value
– This paper provides a new way to test IGC.

Comparative analysis of surface roughness prediction using DOE and ANN techniques during endmilling of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites
Authors: Jenarthanan M.P. , Subramanian A. Ajay , Jeyapaul R. 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
– This paper aims to study the comparison between a response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) in the modelling and prediction of surface roughness during endmilling of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer composites.

Design/methodology/approach
– Aiming to achieve this goal, several milling experiments were performed with polycrystalline diamond inserts at different machining parameters, namely, feed rate, cutting speed, depth of cut and fibre orientation angle. Mathematical model is created using central composite face-centred second-order in RSM and the adequacy of the model was verified using analysis of variance. ANN model is created using the back propagation algorithm.

Findings
– With regard to the machining test, it was observed that feed rate is the dominant parameter that affects the surface roughness, followed by the fibre orientation. The comparison results show that models provide accurate prediction of surface roughness in which ANN performs better than RSM.

Originality/value
– The data predicted from ANN are very nearer to experimental results compared to RSM; therefore, this ANN model can be used to determine the surface roughness for various fibre-reinforced polymer composites and also for various machining parameters.

The spread of bad neighborhoodsOur genomes have complex three-dimensional (3D) arrangements that partition and regulate gene expression. Cancer cells frequently have their genomes grossly rearranged, disturbing this intricate 3D organization. Hniszet al.show that the disruption of these 3D neighborhoods can bring oncogenes under the control of regulatory elements normally kept separate from them (see the Perspective by Wala and Beroukim). These novel juxtapositions can result in the inappropriate activation of oncogenes.Science, this issue p.1454; see also p.1398

Salmonellainfections modelling in Mississippi using neural network and geographical information system (GIS)
Authors: Akil Luma , Ahmad H Anwar 
Published: March 2016

ObjectivesMississippi (MS) is one of the southern states with high rates of foodborne infections. The objectives of this paper are to determine the extent ofSalmonellaandEscherichia coliinfections in MS, and determine theSalmonellainfections correlation with socioeconomic status using geographical information system (GIS) and neural network models.MethodsIn this study, the relevant updated data of foodborne illness for southern states, from 2002 to 2011, were collected and used in the GIS and neural networks models. Data were collected from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), MS state Department of Health and the other states department of health. The correlation between low socioeconomic status andSalmonellainfections were determined using models created by several software packages, including SAS, ArcGIS @RISK and NeuroShell.ResultsResults of this study showed a significant increase inSalmonellaoutbreaks in MS during the study period, with highest rates in 2011 (47.84±24.41 cases/100 000; p<0.001). MS had the highest rates ofSalmonellaoutbreaks compared with other states (36±6.29 cases/100 000; p<0.001). Regional and district variations in the rates were also observed. GIS maps ofSalmonellaoutbreaks in MS in 2010 and 2011 showed the districts with higher rates ofSalmonella. Regression analysis and neural network models showed a moderate correlation between cases ofSalmonellainfections and low socioeconomic factors. Poverty was shown to have a negative correlation withSalmonellaoutbreaks (R2=0.152, p<0.05).ConclusionsGeographic location besides socioeconomic status may contribute to the high rates ofSalmonellaoutbreaks in MS. Understanding the geographical and economic relationship with infectious diseases will help to determine effective methods to reduce outbreaks within low socioeconomic status communities.

Published: March 2016

ObjectivesTo measure the sex-specific and community-specific mortality rates for adults in Lusaka, Zambia, and to identify potential individual-level, household-level and community-level correlates of premature mortality. We conducted 12 survey rounds of a population-based cross-sectional study between 2004 and 2011, and collected data via a structured interview with a household head.SettingHouseholds in Lusaka District, Zambia, 2004–2011.Participants43 064 household heads (88% female) who enumerated 123 807 adult household members aged between 15 and 60 years.Primary outcomePremature adult mortality.ResultsThe overall mortality rate was 16.2/1000 person-years for men and 12.3/1000 person-years for women. The conditional probability of dying between age 15 and 60 (45q15) was 0.626 for men and 0.537 for women. The top three causes of death for men and women were infectious in origin (ie, tuberculosis, HIV and malaria). We observed an over twofold variation of mortality rates between communities. The mortality rate was 1.98 times higher (95% CI 1.57 to 2.51) in households where a family member required nursing care, 1.44 times higher (95% CI 1.22 to 1.71) during the cool dry season, and 1.28 times higher (95% CI 1.06 to 1.54) in communities with low-cost housing.ConclusionsTo meet Zambia's development goals, further investigation is needed into the factors associated with adult mortality. Mortality can potentially be reduced through focus on high-need households and communities, and improved infectious disease prevention and treatment services.

ObjectiveTo examine the disparities in psychiatric service utilisation over a 10-year period for patients with first admission for psychosis in relation to urban–rural residence following the implementation of universal health coverage in Taiwan.DesignPopulation-based retrospective cohort study.SettingTaiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, which has a population coverage rate of over 99% and contains all medical claim records of a nationwide cohort of patients with at least one psychiatric admission between 1996 and 2007.Participants69 690 patients aged 15–59 years with first admission between 1998 and 2007 for any psychotic disorder.Main exposure measurePatients’ urban–rural residence at first admissions.Main outcome measuresAbsolute and relative inequality indexes of the following quality indicators after discharge from the first admission: all-cause psychiatric readmission at 2 and 4 years, dropout of psychiatric outpatient service at 30 days, and emergency department (ED) treat-and-release encounter at 30 days.ResultsBetween 1998 and 2007, the 4-year readmission rate decreased from 65% to 58%, the 30-day dropout rate decreased from 18% to 15%, and the 30-day ED encounter rate increased from 8% to 10%. Risk of readmission has significantly decreased in rural and urban patients, but at a slower speed for the rural patients (p=0.026). The adjusted HR of readmission in rural versus urban patients has increased from 1.00 (95% CI 0.96 to 1.04) in 1998–2000 to 1.08 (95% CI 1.03 to 1.12) in 2005–2007, indicating a mild widening of the urban–rural gap. Urban–rural differences in 30-day dropout and ED encounter rates have been stationary over time.ConclusionsThe universal health coverage in Taiwan did not narrow urban–rural inequity of psychiatric service utilisation in patients with psychosis. Therefore, other policy interventions on resource allocation, service delivery and quality of care are needed to improve the outcome of rural-dwelling patients with psychosis.

Published: March 2016

ObjectiveFew studies have explored Australian women's understandings of contraception. This study examined the attitudes towards, and understandings of, the subdermal contraceptive implant expressed by women living in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.Study designAs part of a larger qualitative study using in-depth, open-ended interviews in 2012–2013 with women aged 16–49 years who had ever used contraception (n=94), 65 interviews from women who discussed or mentioned the subdermal implant, but had not previously used the device, were examined and analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsThe emergent themes were: satisfaction with current method; weak personal opinions and ambivalence; uncertainty due to specific concerns; and strong negative reactions – fear and dislike. Although there were a few positive perceptions expressed by women who had never used the subdermal implant, for the majority of women the perception was predominantly negative.Discussion and conclusionWomen tended to form negative impressions from the stories of other women about the subdermal implant. Interventions to enhance evidence-informed awareness of the relative advantages and disadvantages of the implant – for example, improved access to supportive contraceptive counselling – need investigation in the Australian context. Avenues to improve women's perceived control over the device could also be usefully investigated.
Single-Cell Sequencing for Precise Cancer Research: Progress and Prospects

Published: March 2016

Abstract
Advances in genomic technology have enabled the faithful detection and measurement of mutations and the gene expression profile of cancer cells at the single-cell level. Recently, several single-cell sequencing methods have been developed that permit the comprehensive and precise analysis of the cancer-cell genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. The use of these methods to analyze cancer cells has led to a series of unanticipated discoveries, such as the high heterogeneity and stochastic changes in cancer-cell populations, the new driver mutations and the complicated clonal evolution mechanisms, and the novel identification of biomarkers of variant tumors. These methods and the knowledge gained from their utilization could potentially improve the early detection and monitoring of rare cancer cells, such as circulating tumor cells and disseminated tumor cells, and promote the development of personalized and highly precise cancer therapy. Here, we discuss the current methods for single cancer-cell sequencing, with a strong focus on those practically used or potentially valuable in cancer research, including single-cell isolation, whole genome and transcriptome amplification, epigenome profiling, multi-dimensional sequencing, and next-generation sequencing and analysis. We also examine the current applications, challenges, and prospects of single cancer-cell sequencing. Cancer Res; 76(6); 1305–12. ©2016 AACR.
