Parent emotion socialization and children's socioemotional adjustment: when is supportiveness no longer supportive?
Authors: Mirabile Scott P. , Oertwig Dejah , Halberstadt Amy G. 
Published: November 2016

AbstractParents' supportive emotion socialization behaviors promote children's socioemotional competence in early childhood, but the nature of parents' supportiveness may change over time, as children continue to develop their emotion‐related abilities and enter contexts that require more complex and nuanced social skills and greater autonomy. To test whether associations between parents' supportiveness of children's negative emotions and children's socioemotional adjustment vary with child age, 81 parents of 3‐ to 6‐year‐old children completed questionnaires assessing their responses to children's negative emotions and their children's emotion regulation, lability, social competence, and behavioral adjustment. As predicted, child age moderated the associations between parents' supportiveness and children's socioemotional adjustment. For younger children, parents' supportiveness predicted better emotion regulation and less anxiety/internalizing and anger/externalizing problems. However, for older children, these associations were reversed, suggesting that socialization strategies which were supportive for younger children may fail to foster socioemotional competence among 5‐ to 6‐year‐old children. These results suggest the importance of considering emotion socialization as a dynamic, developmental process, and that parents' socialization of children's emotions might need to change in response to children's developing emotional competencies and social demands.

Published: November 2016

AbstractAtterberg limits and indices, for example liquid limit (LL), plastic limit (PL), linear shrinkage (LS) and plasticity index (PI), are important soil properties in engineering and land evaluation for predicting soil mechanical behaviour. This study was conducted to develop and evaluate pedotransfer functions (PTFs) to predict Atterberg limits using measured and morphological soil properties from a large data set in South Africa covering a vast range of soils, geologies and climates. FivePTFs were developed; the first four using measured properties from 2330 soil horizons including extractable Fe, Al, Mn, Na, K, Mg and Ca; organic carbon (OC);pH(H2O); cation exchange capacity (CEC); and sand, silt and clay fractions to predictLL,PL,LSandPI. Morphological descriptors such as colour, structure (grade, size and type), consistency, occurrence of slickensides and cutans and abundance of roots were included in the secondPTFusing data from 717 horizons to predictPI. For allPTFs, two‐thirds of the data were randomly selected and used for model development and the remainder for validation. Prediction accuracies ofR2between 0.49 and 0.77 comparable to other studies on large data sets but underperformed when compared to localized data sets. For engineering purposes, site‐specificPTFs for prediction of Atterberg limits should be developed.

Published: November 2016

SummaryMicroalgae are promising feedstock for renewable fuels such as biodiesel, yet development of industrial oleaginous strains has been hindered by the paucity and inefficiency of reverse genetics tools. Here we established an efficient RNAi‐based targeted gene‐knockdown method for Nannochloropsis spp., which are emerging model organisms for industrial microalgal oil production. The method achieved a 40–80% success rate in Nannochloropsis oceanica strain IMET1. When transcript level of one carbonic anhydrase (CA) was inhibited by 62–83% via RNAi, mutant cells exhibited photosynthetic oxygen evolution (POE) rates that were 68–100% higher than wild‐type (WT) at pH 6.0, equivalent to WT at pH 8.2, yet 39–45% lower than WT at pH 9.0. Moreover, the mutant POE rates were negatively correlated with the increase of culture pH, an exact opposite of WT. Thus, a dynamic carbon concentration mechanism (CCM) that is highly sensitive to pH homeostasis was revealed, where the CA inhibition likely partially abrogated the mechanism that normally deactivates CCM under a high level of dissolved CO2. Extension of the method to another sequenced N. oceanica strain of CCMP 1779 demonstrated comparable performance. Finally, McrBC‐PCR followed by bisulfite sequencing revealed that the gene knockdown is mediated by the CG, CHG and CHH types of DNA methylation at the coding region of the targeted gene. The efficiency, robustness and general applicability of this reverse genetics approach suggested the possibility of large‐scale RNAi‐based gene function screening in industrial microalgae.

Published: November 2016

<p>Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is the most popular signaling protocol using in order to establish, modify and terminate the session multimedia between different participants. It was selected by the Third Generation Project Partnership (3GPP) as a multimedia application protocol in 3G mobile networks. SIP is the protocol currently used for signaling ToIP calls. The security of SIP is becoming more and more important. Authentication is the most important security service required by SIP. To ensure a secured communication, many SIP authentication protocols have been proposed. This work provides an overview of the proposed schemes based on elliptic curve cryptography. Those proposed schemes are analyzed in security consideration and the computational cost.</p>

Authors: Fishenden Jerry 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
The author describes various aural techniques developed as part of the origination of the sonic content of compositions themed on palimpsests of time and place. Field-based recordings, authentic and synthetic impulse responses, convolution reverb and the use of third-party sounds retrieved via open programmatic interfaces are considered. The role of usability feedback is also discussed, specifically its beneficial impact on informing the development both of the compositions and the techniques they utilize. An initial mobile phone application is described, together with continuing work to develop additional mobile experiences.
Synoptic Systems Interacting with the Rocky Mountain Barrier: Observations and Theories
Authors: Spensberger Clemens , Egger Joseph , Spengler Thomas 
Published: November 2016

Using a composite analysis for strong sea level pressure perturbations off the west coast of North America, the evolution of large-amplitude synoptic systems upstream of the Rocky Mountains is investigated for the winter season. Corresponding previous analyses are refined by avoiding multiple counting of events and extended by including potential vorticity, vertical motion, and deformation in the analysis. Cyclonic and anticyclonic anomalies behave similarly, with weak local extrema forming in the lee of the mountain range southeast of the parent systems. However, neither the geopotential anomaly nor the associated potential vorticity anomaly cross the mountain range. Nevertheless, these anomalies contribute to the sea level pressure anomaly in the lee. For both positive and negative anomalies, potential vorticity exhibits a bipolar structure with lobes over the reference point and over the Cordillera, respectively. The relevance of several theories describing the interaction between synoptic systems and mountains are discussed in the light of these findings. It is important to note that these findings differ considerably from results reported in an earlier study. Key differences are the previously reported passage of a wave train over the reference point and the movement of the anomalies over the Rocky Mountains. Both features are absent in the current analysis. However, these features can be recovered if a 6-day high-pass filter is applied before the events are selected or if the analysis is applied to predominantly zonal flow situations.

AbstractContext:LHX4 encodes a LIM-homeodomain transcription factor that is implicated in early pituitary development. In humans, only 13 heterozygous LHX4 mutations have been associated with congenital hypopituitarism.Objective:The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of LHX4 mutations in patients with hypopituitarism, to define the associated phenotypes, and to characterize the functional impact of the identified variants and the respective role of the 2 LIM domains of LHX4.Design and Patients:We screened 417 unrelated patients with isolated growth hormone deficiency or combined pituitary hormone deficiency associated with ectopic posterior pituitary and/or sella turcica anomalies for LHX4 mutations (Sanger sequencing). In vitro studies were performed to assess the functional consequences of the identified variants.Results:We identified 7 heterozygous variations, including p.(Tyr131*), p.(Arg48Thrfs*104), c.606+1G&gt;T, p.Arg65Val, p.Thr163Pro, p.Arg221Gln, and p.Arg235Gln), that were associated with variable expressivity; 5 of the 7 were also associated with incomplete penetrance. The p.(Tyr131*), p.(Arg48Thrfs*104), p.Ala65Val, p.Thr163Pro, and p.Arg221Gln LHX4 variants are unable to transactivate the POU1F1 and GH promoters. As suggested by transactivation, subcellular localization, and protein-protein interaction studies, p.Arg235Gln is probably a rare polymorphism. Coimmunoprecipitation studies identified LHX3 as a potential protein partner of LHX4. As revealed by functional studies of LIM-defective recombinant LHX4 proteins, the LIM1 and LIM2 domains are not redundant.Conclusion:This study, performed in the largest cohort of patients screened so far for LHX4 mutations, describes 6 disease-causing mutations that are responsible for congenital hypopituitarism. LHX4 mutations were found to be associated with variable expressivity, and most of them with incomplete penetrance; their contribution to pituitary deficits that are associated with an ectopic posterior pituitary and/or a sella turcica defect is ∼1.4% in the 417 probands tested.
Gender, Conflict, and Muslim-Jewish Romance
Authors: Irving Sarah 
Published: November 2016

AbstractNational or ethnic collectivities are often coded in art, propaganda, and other media as “female”—passive, possessed, and penetrable by the enemy other. Particularly during times of conflict, the nation or homeland is depicted as a woman whose purity must be protected by men. Feminist explorations of this phenomenon have often focused on the language and practice of sexual violence against women in war. Mary Layoun’s discussion of Cypriot fiction raises a different possibility: when women transgress group boundaries and make their own choice to pursue sexual relationships with the other, this rupture of dominant ideologies opens up new ways of thinking about identity but may also end with those disruptions being suppressed and crushed. This article uses Layoun’s ideas to inform a close reading of two recent novels written in Arabic, both of which depict Muslim-Jewish amatory relations in a way that counters stereotypical ideas about how such relationships are seen in the Arab world.
Two-Way Bounded Dynamic Programming Approach for Operations Planning in Transshipment Yards
Authors: Otto Alena , Li Xiyu , Pesch Erwin 
Published: November 2016

We propose a two-way bounded dynamic programming (TBDP) approach to deal with situations, when it takes a long time to evaluate the value function in the state graph of dynamic programming. TBDP provides sharp bounds early in the solution process and identifies critical subproblems, i.e., states and transition arcs, for which the value function has to be estimated. Based on the TBDP framework, we develop a heuristic and an exact algorithm for the static crane scheduling problem (SCSP). The SCSP refers to simultaneous yard partitioning into single-crane areas and job sequencing at railway container transshipment yards, where both rail-rail and rail-road transshipments are present and rail-rail moves are short. The designed exact solution algorithm solves instances of practically relevant size within acceptable time limits. The proposed heuristic finds optimal solutions in 90% of the cases. We recommend using the heuristic algorithm for planning very large transshipment yards, with more than five tracks and a large number of container moves per crane.
Magnetic Resonance Studies of Wood Log-Drying Processes
Authors: Lamason Clevan , MacMillan Bryce , Balcom Bruce , Leblon Brigitte , Pirouz Zarin 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Spatially resolved measurements of moisture content (MC) in black spruce (Picea mariana Mill.) logs were undertaken by unilateral magnetic resonance (UMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The goal of this study was to understand drying behaviors of the different regions in black spruce wood logs. Results indicate that water is lost from the entire length of the log as drying progresses. Diffusive drying from both sapwood and heartwood was observed at the log ends. The most significant drying in the log interior was through the bark. The magnetic resonance signal has an amplitude that depends on water content and a lifetime that depends on the water environment, namely, cell wall or cell lumen. The UMR measurement distinguished signal from cell wall and lumen water. The MRI measurement spatially resolved, in 3D, total water content in the wood. This was important in order to differentiate the water content and drying behavior in sapwood and heartwood. The MC in the black spruce sapwood was significantly higher than the MC in the heartwood. The water content in the cell wall does not change significantly until lumen water is depleted.
Between philosophy and art: A collaboration at The Lock-Up, Newcastle
Authors: McMahon Jennifer A. , Coleman Elizabeth Burns , Macarthur David , Phillips James , Sturmer Daniel Von 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
At The Lock-Up in Newcastle one weekend in September 2015, a group of artists, musicians and performers, performed to an audience which included philosopher commentators. The idea was to look for points of intersection, interface or divergence between art and philosophy. However, what we found was that the commentators were not engaged in analysing what was simply given them, but instead actively constructing the meaning they would ascribe to the work. As such they were co-creators. The objective of this report of the event is to establish a basis for more collaboration between art and philosophy in the future on the assumption that interdisciplinarity reveals possibilities and perspectives masked by the general insularity of well-established disciplines.

The interval and the instant: Inscribing death and dying
Authors: Eastwood Steven 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Non-fiction filming involving death and dying has taboo status in terms of what western society can and cannot sanction – the image of dying is not something we should see, or even want to see. As a consequence, there is very little film-making done with the consent and collaboration of the dying person and there are few moving images of natural or good deaths. The documentary film-makers and artists who have navigated this difficult ethical territory, engendering a space where dying and death can be given images, have done so by adopting a way of seeing, and being with, the terminally ill person that has some confederacy with the practices of the palliative care professional. Drawing upon the writing of Vivian Sobchack and Ernest Becker, as well as Giorgio Agamben’s theory of bare life, and particularly Emmanuel Levinas and his concept of alterity, the article concentrates on art and film that turns to face death and dying. Moving through narrative cinema, observational documentary and artists’ film, and examining specific film works by Stan Brakhage, Sophie Calle, Kirby Dick, Allan King and Bill Viola, among others, the complex area between ethics and aesthetics is explored, suggesting that in the context of film and death there can be an ethics of aesthetics.
Expanded cinema: Notes on twentieth-century encounters with art, science and technology
Authors: Welsby Chris 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
This article will suggest that the conceptual framework of expanded cinema in the mid-twentieth century, particularly the radical performances of the UK-based Filmaktion group, has parallels in the scientific formulations of the time. The argument will be made that the intellectual breadth of the movement extends beyond the limitations of the art world and that the work produced made an important contribution to the history of ideas and, as such, belongs to the larger body of twentieth-century thought. The era was marked by unprecedented technological change, from mechanical innovation when cinema was in its infancy, through the advent of electronic communication systems to the proliferation of accessible computer technology and the de-militarization of the Internet. In both the arts and sciences the changes that accompanied these developments can be characterized as a shift away from the static representations of nature during the nineteenth century towards a more dynamic, process-based description of the world made possible by the introduction of high-speed computer technology. Reference will be made to sociologist/philosopher of science Andrew Pickering’s observation of a transition in the sciences from the ‘representational’ models of the late nineteenth century to the ‘performative’ models of the present day, which will be shown to run parallel to a similar shift in twentieth century art practice. Drawing on Norbert Weiner’s theory of cybernetics, quantum mechanics, chaos theory, the ideas of Gregory Bateson and the ‘embodied’ sciences, which began to evolve at this time, the discussion will link these scientific developments to the expanded cinematic works of artists such as Annabel Nicolson, Malcolm le Grice, William Raban, Anthony McCall and Lis Rhodes, and to new media artists such as David Rokeby, Lise Autogena, Thomson & Craighead and Susan Collins. The article will seek to demonstrate that expanded cinema helped turn the moving image into a truly twentieth century art form, establishing a strong conceptual foundation for the process-based practices of the 1980s and 1990s and anticipating the embodied science and new media works of the contemporary period.
Online Reading support Systems for Reading Japanese Text

<p>[This section does not allow copy &amp; paste. I have copied the abstract of my paper manually].</p><p> </p><p>Websites written in the target language abound for L2 learners to read. Reading unmodified texts in a L2, however, requires a great level of reading ability, especially in the case where L1 is orthographically and syntactically distant from the target language. Thus, it is essential to have an effective computerised reading support system that gives L2 readers sufficient information for comprehension, and that, at the same time, assists in the development of reading ability for future reading. This study analysed four support systems for reading Japanese texts based on criteria supported by previous research findings, in order to determine whether they cover a wide range of information useful for reading comprehension and for the development of reading ability. The results revealed the strengths and weaknesses of the four although none of the four satisfied all the criteria. The paper discusses possible improvements and any potential difficulties that may hinder them.</p>
Spacetime Exterior to a Star: Against Asymptotic Flatness
Authors: Roberts Mark D. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
In many circumstances the perfect fluid conservation equations can be directly integrated to give a geometric-thermodynamic equation: typically that the lapse N is the reciprocal of the enthalphy h, (N = 1/h). This result is aesthetically appealing as it depends only on the fluid conservation equations and does not depend on specific field equations such as Einstein's. Here the form of the geometric-thermodynamic equation is derived subject to spherical symmetry and also for the shift-free ADM formalism. There at least three applications of the geometric-thermodynamic equation, the most important being to the notion of asymptotic flatness and hence to spacetime exterior to a star. For asymptotic flatness one wants h → 0 and N → 1 simultaneously, but this is incompatible with the geometric-thermodynamic equation. Observational data and asymptotic flatness are discussed. It is argued that a version of Mach's principle does not allow asymptotic flatness.
