Bonobo personality: Age and sex effects and links with behavior and dominance
Authors: Staes Nicky , Eens Marcel , Weiss Alexander , Stevens Jeroen M.G. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
The study described in this chapter examines whether individual differences in six rating-based bonobo personality dimensions—assertiveness, conscientiousness, openness, attentiveness, agreeableness and extroversion—are related to sex, age, behaviours and dominance. To these ends, the study tested predictions based on previous studies of human and chimpanzee personality, and bonobo behaviour and socio-ecology. Sex and age differences in assertiveness, openness and extroversion, and correlations between these personality dimensions and behaviour were consistent with predictions. Conscientiousness showed associations with observed behaviours but requires further investigation as sex and age effects differed from those reported in humans and chimpanzees. Agreeableness and attentiveness showed few associations with age, sex and behaviours, indicating the need to further investigate validity of these factors. This chapter shows that personality dimensions in bonobos are correlated with sex, age and behaviours in ways that are consistent with what is known for bonobos and their socio-ecology. L’étude décrite dans ce chapitre examine si les différences individuelles dans six dimensions de personnalité bonobos basées sur évaluation—Affirmation de soi, Conscience, Ouverture, Attention, Agréabilité, et l’Extroversion—sont liées au sexe et l’âge et les comportements et la dominance. L’étude a testé les prédictions basées sur des études précédentes de la personnalité humaine et chimpanzé, et le comportement bonobo et la socioécologie. Les différences de sexe et d’âge dans l’Affirmation de soi, l’Ouverture et l’Extroversion et les corrélations entre ces dimensions de personnalité et de comportement étaient cohérents avec nos prédictions. La Conscience montre des associations avec les comportements observés mais a besoin plus de recherche vu que les effets du sexe et de l’âge diffèrent des effets rapportés chez les humains et les chimpanzés. L’Agréabilité et l’Attention n’avaient pas autant d’associations avec l’âge, le sexe et les comportements. Cela montre qu’il faut plus rechercher la validité de ces facteurs. Cette étude montre que les dimensions de personnalité chez les bonobos sont corrélé à l’âge, au sexe et aux comportements de manières qui sont cohérentes avec notre connaissance des bonobos et de leur socioécologie.

Published: January 2018

AbstractWildlife sanctuaries rescue, rehabilitate, reintroduce and provide life-long care for orphaned and injured animals. Understanding a sanctuary’s population dynamics—patterns in arrival, mortality and projected changes in population size—allows careful planning for future needs. Building on previous work on the population dynamics of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in sanctuaries of the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA; Faust et al. 2011), this chapter extends analyses to the only PASA bonobo sanctuary. Its authors analysed historic demographic patterns and projected future population dynamics using an individual-based demographic model. The population has been growing at 6.7 per cent per year, driven by arrivals of new individuals (mean = 5.5 arrivals per year). Several model scenarios projecting varying arrival rates, releases and breeding scenarios clarify potential future growth trajectories for the sanctuary. This research illustrates how data on historic dynamics can be modelled to inform future sanctuary capacity and management needs. Les sanctuaires de faune secourent, réhabilitent, réintroduisent, et fournissent des soins pour toute la vie aux animaux orphelins et blessés. Comprendre les dynamiques de la population d’un sanctuaire—les motifs d’arrivée, mortalité, et de changements projetés de la taille de la population—permet une planification prudente pour les nécessités du futur. En se basant sur le travail déjà fait sur les dynamiques de la population chimpanzé (Pan troglodytes) dans les sanctuaires du Pan African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA; Faust et al. 2011), nous étendons notre analyse au seul sanctuaire bonobo par PASA. Nous avons analysé les motifs démographiques historiques et avons projeté les futures dynamiques de la population en utilisant un modèle démographique basé sur l’individu. La population augmente de 6.7 per cent par an, poussée par l’arrivée de nouveaux individus (moyenne = 5.5 arrivées par an). Plusieurs scénarios modèles montrent une trajectoire de potentielle croissance pour le sanctuaire. Cette recherche illustre comment modeler les données sur les dynamiques historiques pour informer la capacité future du sanctuaire et les besoins gestionnaires.
The Socially Shared Nature of Memory: From Joint Encoding to Communication
Authors: Echterhoff Gerald , Kopietz René 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
This chapter explores incidental, indirect ways in which memory is shaped by interpersonal interaction and communication, that is, without collaboration of several individuals on an explicit memory task. The first section discusses research showing that encoding stimuli together with another person improves memory for the experience. Some studies examine memory effects from task sharing and joint action, while others explore effects of the mere joint experience of stimuli. The second section turns to effects of social sharing in communication on memory, specifically, the effects of conversational retellings and the audience-tuning effect on memory. Regarding explanations for the audience-tuning effect, the chapter focuses on shared reality theory and review evidence for the motives and goals underlying shared-reality creation.
Memories and Identities in Conversation with Dementia
Authors: Müller Nicole , Mok Zaneta 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
This chapter uses tools from Systemic Functional Linguistics to analyze how two women with dementia share autobiographical memories in conversation. Dialogic interaction is fundamental to human experience, and the sharing of memories is in essence a process of dialogic sense-making. Shared autobiographical stories are part of the dialogic construction and projection of public identities. Autobiographical talk in the conversation analyzed here is sketchy in terms of experiential detail, but rich in appraisal; it is used to construct positive past identities that reflect on present selves. In addition, identity projection and evaluative stances are dynamically adjusted in light of the conversation partner’s reactions, which points to intact dialogic sense-making skills in the presence of moderate dementia.
Multimodal Processes of Joint Remembering in Complex Collaborative Activities
Authors: Bietti Lucas M. , Baker Michael J. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to expand research on joint remembering into real-world complex collaborative activities at the workplace. The text illustrates how the interweaving of verbal, corporal, social, and material resources supports joint remembering of relevant aspects of work projects during group interactions. As joint remembering does not represent a ubiquitous joint action in complex collaborative activities in the workplace, but rather a localized and goal-oriented interactional mechanism, here we focus on those interactional sequences concerning past actions and events, in relation to work projects, that are triggered by questions acting as reminders. Such sequences are called “multimodal remembering sequences.” The group interactions that are presented as illustrative examples to support our theoretical standpoint were taken from a corpus collected on the basis of two naturalistic studies on joint remembering collaborative design conducted with architects and animation designers at their workplaces.
Remembering Good and Bad Times Together: Functions of Collaborative Remembering
Authors: Pasupathi Monisha , Wainryb Cecilia 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
In this chapter, we consider how collaborative remembering informs our understanding of the functions of autobiographical remembering. After a brief overview of the literature on functions of autobiographical remembering, we consider how the nature of collaborative remembering supports existing frameworks for thinking about function, and suggest additional functions that are important to examine. We then ask whether collaborative remembering has a special significance for fulfilling functions of autobiographical remembering. Finally, we note that experiences of conflict and harm pose particular challenges for collaborative remembering that underscore potential future directions for this research, including the potential importance of collaborative remembering for helping to resolve past instances of conflict and harm.
Collective Memory: How Groups Remember Their Past
Authors: Abel Magdalena , Umanath Sharda , Wertsch James V. , Roediger Henry L. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Studies of collective memory address how people create and maintain a shared representation of their group’s past and group identity. In particular, we conside how knowledge representations and schematic narrative templates (recurring stories of the past) contribute to collective remembering. Diverging memories between groups can cause conflict, so examining how different group’s varying memories of “the same event” can cause misunderstandings is critical. We consider whether (and how) groups can mediate their differences to attempt to reach consensus about the past, using narratives of World War II as a case study. The study of collective memory comprises many different senses of the term remembering, and this chapter emphasizes the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration to examine the issues from multiple perspectives.
Applications of Collaborative Memory: Patterns of Success and Failure in Individuals with Hippocampal Amnesia
Authors: Gordon Rupa Gupta , Duff Melissa C. , Cohen Neal J. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
A growing body of work suggests that collaboration can benefit memory. In our work on the neural substrates of collaborative learning, we find that many of these benefits extend even to individuals with profound memory impairment. We review this line of work highlighting the benefits and limits of collaborative learning in memory impaired populations. Understanding the contexts and circumstances of success and failure in collaborative learning in individuals with memory impairment advances scientific knowledge of how distinct forms of memory contribute to specific aspects of collaborative learning. Our discovery that memory-impaired individuals can benefit from collaborative learning under some conditions points to the promise of collaborative learning situations in the rehabilitation of memory and learning impairments.
Collaborative Memory Interventions for Age-Related and Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Memory Decline
Authors: Blumen Helena M. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
This chapter discusses the potential for using collaboration as a tool to compensate for age-related and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) related memory decline. Recent research suggest that collaborating with others during recall improves later individual memory, but such post-collaborative recall benefits must be confirmed in AD, and transitional stages of AD such as amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Identifying the neural systems that operate during collaboration is also essential for determining the therapeutic value of collaborative recall in these populations. Examining post-collaborative recall benefits, and identifying the neural systems associated with collaborative recall, in healthy aging, AD, and aMCI will be methodologically challenging and necessitate interdisciplinary expertise—but is vital for determining the therapeutic potential of collaborative recall in these populations.
Fluctuations
Authors: Wigmans Richard 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThe energy resolution, i.e. the precision with which the energy of a showering particle can be measured, is one of the most important characteristics of a calorimeter. This resolution is determined by fluctuations in the absorption and signal formation processes. In this chapter, the different types of fluctuations that may play a role are examined, and their relative practical importance is addressed. Sources of fluctuations include fluctuations in the number of signal quanta, sampling fluctuations, fluctuations in shower leakage, as well as a variety of instrumental effects. Since the energy dependence of the different types of fluctuations is not the same, different types of fluctuations may dominate the energy resolution at low and and at high energies. An important type of fluctuations is part of the non-compensation phenomena. It concerns fluctuations in the strength of the electromagnetic component of hadronic showers. The effects of these fluctuations, which typically dominate the energy resolution for hadron and jet detection, are examined in detail. In sampling calorimeters, one particular shower particle may sometimes have catastrophic effects on the calorimeter performance. Several examples of such cases are discussed.
Dirac Notation and Transformation Theory
Authors: Horing Norman J. Morgenstern 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Chapter 1 opens with a brief review of some basic features of quantum mechanics, including the Schrödinger equation, linear and angular momentum and the theory of the hydrogenic atom: It also includes complete orthonormal sets of eigenfunctions, the translation operator, current, spin, equation of continuity, gauge transformation, determinant & permanent multiparticle energy eigenfunctions for noninteracting particles and the Pauli exclusion principle. Attention is then focused on Dirac bra-ket notation and complete sets of commuting observables. In this connection, representations and transformation among representations are discussed in detail for the Schrödinger system state vector and the eigenstates, as well as bra-ket matrix elements of operators. Finally, Schwinger’s interpretation of ket-bra matrix operator structures (Schwinger “Measurement Symbols”) in terms of annihilation and creation of systems in eigenstates is introduced.
Identical Particles and Second Quantization: Occupation Number Representation
Authors: Horing Norman J. Morgenstern 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Focusing on systems of many identical particles, Chapter 2 introduces appropriate operators to describe their properties in terms of Schwinger’s “measurement symbols.” The latter are then factorized into “creation” and “annihilation” operators, whose fundamental properties and commutation/anticommutation relations are derived in conjunction with the Pauli exclusion principle. This leads to “second quantization” with the Hamiltonian, number, linear and angular momentum operators expressed in terms of the annihilation and creation operators, as well as the occupation number representation. Finally, the concept of coherent states, as eigenstates of the annihilation operator, having minimum uncertainty, is introduced and discussed in detail.
Thermodynamic Green’s Functions and Spectral Structure
Authors: Horing Norman J. Morgenstern 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Multiparticle thermodynamic Green’s functions, defined in terms of grand canonical ensemble averages of time-ordered products of creation and annihilation operators, are interpreted as tracing the amplitude for time-developing correlated interacting particle motions taking place in the background of a thermal ensemble. Under equilibrium conditions, time-translational invariance permits the one-particle thermal Green’s function to be represented in terms of a single frequency, leading to a Lehmann spectral representation whose frequency poles describe the energy spectrum. This Green’s function has finite values for both t&gt;t′ and t&lt;t′ (unlike retarded Green’s functions), and the two parts G1&gt; and G1&lt; (respectively) obey a simple proportionality relation that facilitates the introduction of a spectral weight function: It is also interpreted in terms of a periodicity/antiperiodicity property of a modified Green’s function in imaginary time capable of a Fourier series representation with imaginary (Matsubara) frequencies. The analytic continuation from imaginary time to real time is discussed, as are related commutator/anticommutator functions, also retarded/advanced Green’s functions, and the spectral weight sum rule is derived. Statistical thermodynamic information is shown to be embedded in physical features of the one- and two-particle thermodynamic Green’s functions.
Random matrix theory and (big) data analysis
Authors: Bouchaud Jean-Philippe 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
This chapter reviews methods from random matrix theory to extract information about a large signal matrix C (for example, a correlation matrix arising in big data problems), from its noisy observation matrix M. The chapter shows that the replica method can be used to obtain both the spectral density and the overlaps between noise-corrupted eigenvectors and the true ones, for both additive and multiplicative noise. This allows one to construct optimal rotationally invariant estimators of C based on the observation of M alone. This chapter also discusses the case of rectangular correlation matrices and the problem of random singular value decomposition.
Random matrices and number theory: some recent themes
Authors: Keating Jon P. 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThe aim of this chapter is to motivate and describe some recent developments concerning the applications of random matrix theory to problems in number theory. The first section provides a brief and rather selective introduction to the theory of the Riemann zeta function, in particular to those parts needed to understand the connections with random matrix theory. The second section focuses on the value distribution of the zeta function on its critical line, specifically on recent progress in understanding the extreme value statistics gained through a conjectural link to log–correlated Gaussian random fields and the statistical mechanics of glasses. The third section outlines some number-theoretic problems that can be resolved in function fields using random matrix methods. In this latter case, random matrix theory provides the only route we currently have for calculating certain important arithmetic statistics rigorously and unconditionally.
Classical Boundary-Layer Theory
Authors: Ruban Anatoly I. 
Published: January 2018

AbstractChapter 1 discusses the flows that can be described in the framework of Prandtl’s 1904 classical boundary-layer theory, including the Blasius boundary layer on a flat plate and the Falkner–Skan solutions for the boundary layer on a wedge surface. It presents Schlichting’s solution for the laminar jet and Tollmien’s solution for the viscous wake. These are followed by analysis of Chapman’s shear layer performed with the help of Prandtl’s transposition theorem. It also considers the boundary layer on the surface of a fast rotating cylinder with the purpose of linking the circulation around the cylinder with the speed of its rotation. It concludes discussion of the classical boundary-layer theory with analysis of compressible boundary layers, including the interactive boundary layers in hypersonic flows.
Trailing-Edge Flow
Authors: Ruban Anatoly I. 
Published: January 2018

AbstractChapter 3 focuses on the high-Reynolds number flow of an incompressible fluid near the trailing edge of a flat plate. It begins with Goldstein’s (1930) solution for a viscous wake behind the plate, and shows that the displacement effect of the wake produces a singular pressure gradient near the trailing edge. It further shows that this singularity leads to a formation triple-deck viscous-inviscid interaction region that occupies a small vicinity of the trailing edge. A detailed analysis of the flow in each tier of the triple-deck structure is conducted based on the asymptotic analysis of the Navier–Stokes equations. As a result, the so-called ‘interaction problem’ is formulated. It concludes with the numerical solution of so-called ‘interaction problem’.
Incipient Separation Near Corners
Authors: Ruban Anatoly I. 
Published: January 2018

AbstractChapter 4 analyses the transition from an attached flow to a flow with local recirculation region near a corner point of a body contour. It considers both subsonic and supersonic flow regimes, and shows that the flow near a corner can be studied in the framework of the triple-deck theory. It assumes that the body surface deflection angle is small, and formulates the linearized viscous-inviscid interaction problem. Its solution is found in an analytic form. It also presents the results of the numerical solution of the full nonlinear problem. It shows how, and when, the separation region forms in the boundary layer. In conclusion, it suggests that in the subsonic flow past a concave corner, the solution is not unique.
Use of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose/Collagen Matrix in Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Systematic Review
Authors: Chicone Gisele , de Carvalho Viviane Fernandes , Paggiaro André Oliveira 
Published: January 2018

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:
Diabetic wounds that do not heal completely usually exhibit inflammatory markers, increased protease activity, and reduced levels of growth factors and cell count. A systematic review was performed to determine whether there is enough evidence to support the use of an oxidized regenerated cellulose/collagen matrix (ORC+C) to treat diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).

METHODS:
Study authors analyzed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on ORC+C dressings for the treatment of DFUs. A literature search was conducted for all available reports of relevant studies published in journals indexed in PubMed, LILACS, and SciELO databases. There were no restrictions based on date of publication. A population-intervention-comparison-outcome framework was built on MeSH terms and keywords. Two independent researchers analyzed all articles for data collection and used the Cochrane Collaboration tool for risk-of-bias assessment.

RESULTS:
At first, 316 related studies were located in the databases. After evaluating these studies for methodological similarities, only 3 were considered eligible for the review. One RCT was considered at high risk of bias. Results from this meta-analysis of 2 studies showed no significant improvement in wound healing rates of DFUs when ORC+C was compared with standard wound care.

CONCLUSIONS:
Because of several methodology flaws in the reviewed studies, these results suggest that there is currently no research evidence to suggest that the use of ORC+C improves wound healing rates of DFUs. Additional research with high-quality RCTs focused on diabetic ulcers is necessary.
