Miles Davis' Bitches Brew
Authors: Grella   Jr. George 
Published: March 2017

It was 1969, and Miles Davis, prince of cool, was on the edge of being left behind by a dynamic generation of young musicians, an important handful of whom had been in his band. Rock music was flying off in every direction, just as America itself seemed about to split at its seams. Following the circumscribed grooves and ambiance of In A Silent Way; coming off a tour with a burning new quintet—called ‘The Lost Band’—with Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette; he went into the studio with musicians like frighteningly talented guitarist John McLaughlin, and soulful Austrian keyboardist Joe Zawinul. Working with his essential producer, Teo Macero, Miles set a cauldron of ideas loose while the tapes rolled. At the end, there was the newly minted Prince of Darkness, a completely new way forward for jazz and rock, and the endless brilliance and depth of Bitches Brew.
Bitches Brew is still one of the most astonishing albums ever made in either jazz or rock. Seeming to fuse the two, it actually does something entirely more revolutionary and open-ended: blending the most avant-garde aspects of Western music with deep grooves, the album rejects both jazz and rock for an entirely different idea of how music can be made.
Geto Boys' The Geto Boys
Authors: Potts Rolf 
Published: March 2017

At the outset of summer in 1990, a Houston gangsta rap group called the Geto Boys was poised to debut its self-titled third album under the guidance of hip-hop guru Rick Rubin. What might have been a low-profile remix release from a little-known corner of the rap universe began to make headlines when the album’s distributor refused to work with the group, citing its violent and depraved lyrics. When The Geto Boys was finally released, chain stores refused to stock it, concert promoters canceled the group’s performances, and veteran rock critic Robert Christgau declared the group ‘sick motherfuckers.’
One quarter of a century later the album is considered a hardcore classic, having left an immutable influence on gangsta rap, horrorcore, and the rise of Southern hip-hop.
Charting the rise of the Geto Boys from the earliest days of Houston’s rap scene, Rolf Potts documents a moment in music history when hip-hop was beginning to replace rock as the transgressive sound of American youth. In creating an album that was both sonically innovative and unprecedentedly vulgar, the Geto Boys were accomplishing something that went beyond music. To paraphrase a sentiment from Don DeLillo, this group of young men from Houston’s Fifth Ward ghetto had figured out the ‘language of being noticed’ — which is, in the end, the only language America understands.
Donny Hathaway's Donny Hathaway Live
Authors: Lordi Emily J. 
Published: March 2017

In January of 1979, the great soul artist Donny Hathaway fell fifteen stories from a window of Manhattan’s Essex House Hotel in an alleged suicide. He was 33 years old and everyone he worked with called him a genius. Best known for “A Song for You,” “This Christmas,” and classic duets with Roberta Flack, Hathaway was a composer, pianist, and singer committed to exploring “music in its totality.” His velvet melisma and vibrant sincerity set him apart from other soul men of his era while influencing generations of singers and fans whose love affair with him continues to this day.
The first nonfiction book about Hathaway, Donny Hathaway Live uses original interviews, archival material, musical analysis, cultural history, and poetry to tell the story of Hathaway’s life, from his beginnings as a gospel wonder child to his final years. But its focus is the brutally honest, daringly gorgeous music he created as he raced the clock of mental illness—especially in the performances captured on his 1972 album Donny Hathaway Live. That album testifies to Hathaway’s uncanny ability to amplify the power and beauty of his songs in the moment of live performance. By exploring that album, we see how he generated a spiritual experience for those present at his shows, and for those with the privilege to listen in now.
Dead Kennedys' Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
Authors: Foley Michael Stewart 
Published: March 2017

In 1978, San Francisco, a city that has seen more than its share of trauma, plunged from a summer of political tension into an autumn cascade of malevolence that so eluded human comprehension it seemed almost demonic. The battles over property taxes and a ballot initiative calling for a ban on homosexuals teaching in public schools gave way to the madness of the Jonestown massacre and the murders of Mayor George Moscone and city supervisor Harvey Milk at the hands of their former colleague, Dan White.
In the year that followed this season of insanity, it made sense that a band called Dead Kennedys played Mabuhay Gardens in North Beach, referring to Governor Jerry Brown as a “zen fascist,” calling for landlords to be lynched and yuppie gentrifiers to be sent to Cambodia to work for “a bowl of rice a day,” critiquing government welfare and defense policies, and, at a time when each week seemed to bring news of a new serial killer or child abduction, commenting on dead and dying children. But it made sense only (or primarily) to those who were there, to those who experienced the heyday of “the Mab.
Most histories of the 1970s and 1980s ignore youth politics and subcultures. Drawing on Bay Area zines as well as new interviews with the band and many key figures from the early San Francisco punk scene, Michael Stewart Foley corrects that failing by treating Dead Kennedys’ first record, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, as a critical historical document, one that not only qualified as political expression but, whether experienced on vinyl or from the stage of “the Mab,” stimulated emotions and ideals that were, if you can believe it, utopian.
Ultrachopper Assisted Prechopping for Small-incision Cataract Surgery
Authors: Berrospi Rubén D. , Tello Alejandro , Galvis Virgilio 
Published: March 2017

Purpose To describe a new technique to split rock-hard nuclei using an ultrasonic chopper (Ultrachopper) and a prechopper, in order to perform a modified small incision manual cataract extraction. Methods The Ultrachopper device, which is compatible with modern phacoemulsification systems, is used to facilitate the division of very hard nuclei in a straightforward manner using a manual prechopper, and the two fragments are extracted using Kansas forceps. Results In rock-hard nuclei, this technique is very effective to divide and extract the fragments. The risk of complications related to phacoemulsification on these very challenging cases is avoided. Conclusions This modified small incision manual cataract extraction technique, assisted with an ultrasonic chopper (Ultrachopper) and a prechopper, is a very good alternative in rock-hard nuclei.

Published: March 2017

Background To evaluate the outcome of surgical options in the management of Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy (TBCD). This is a retrospective case report. Methods A 52-year-old female with TBCD with a visual acuity of 0.50 LogMAR in both eyes underwent deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) in her left eye (LE) and, 8 months later, phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) in her right eye (RE). Postoperatively, the presence of recurrence, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central corneal thickness (CCT), and spherical equivalent (SE) were assessed. Spectralis domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography was also performed to evaluate corneal morphology and reflectivity. Results At 1 year, the LogMAR UCVA and BCVA were +0.80 and +0.24, respectively, in the LE and +0.70 and +0.24 in the RE, respectively. CCT and SE were 741 microns (μm) and +4.25 diopters (D) in the LE, respectively, and 339 μm and +6.00 D in the RE, respectively. The cornea was clear in the LE. There was early recurrence of the TBCD and corneal haze in the RE. Conclusions The visual outcome of both DALK and PTK were similar for TBCD. No episodes of rejection or recurrence of dystrophy were noted in the eye that underwent DALK. However, postoperative hyperopic shift, persistent haze, and early recurrence were noted after PTK.
Fulfillment and Complementarity: Reflections on Relationship in “Gifts and Calling”
Authors: Procario-Foley Elena 
Published: March 2017

This article assesses how well two key terms in the 2015 Vatican statement, "The Gifts and the Calling of God Are Irrevocable" really contribute to the deepening of authentic friendship between post-Nostra Aetate Jews and Christians. Are the soteriologically and anthropologically freighted words "fulfillment" and "complementarity" so coded with a binary approach to relationship as to subvert this very laudable goal of the document? "Gifts and Calling" seems to want to define the Catholic-Jewish relationship as one of equals but its use of fulfillment language throughout calls into question whether it really envisions a relationship between equals. "Complementarity" is also problematic since that term almost always reinscribes an unequal power dynamic in which one side of the relationship, the “weaker” or “lesser” party fixed in a particular essence, needs to be completed by the other side. The article argues that questions of theological anthropology, teleology, morality, and theodicy need to be defined by each community on its own terms. It asks if there is a way to salvage the language of fulfillment and complementarity to foster a genuine mutuality between Jews and Christians as friends and pilgrims concerned for the reign of God in their distinct ways.

COMUNICAÇÃO SOCIAL EM SAÚDE E EDUCAÇÃO: RELATO DE EXPERIÈNCIA
Authors: Carvalho Everardo De 
Published: March 2017

O presente trabalho apresenta um relato de experiência realizado pela CNBB - Pastoral da Criança, que optou por desenvolver um modelo de intervenção nos meios de comunicação social no Brasil. A opção pelo rádio se deu por vários motivos: grande penetração nas populações de baixa renda grande credibilidade, baixos custos, etc. A decisão de atuar na área de comunicação tem por base o processo de formação da cidadania e o estabelecimento da dimenssão macro e micro-social onde ocorrem e se estabelecem as relações humanas Outro aspecto também importante é o descaso que existe na média brasileira quanto à importância do tema saúde e desenvolv~ne~to infantil. Nesse sentido, optou-se pela elaboração e disseminaçao do ‘ Prol grama Viva a Vida” que entra em 1993, em fase de avaliação.
CONSIDERAÇÕES TEÓRICO-METODOLÓGICAS ACERCA DA CONSTITUIÇÃO DA PERINATOLOGIA COMO ÁREA DE CONHECIMENTO E DA MORBIMORTALIDADE PERINATAL COMO OBJETO DE INVESTIGAÇÃO DE NATUREZA INTERDISCIPLINAR
Authors: Silva Raimundo Antonio da , Alvarenga Augusta Thereza de 
Published: March 2017

O presente trabalho procura historiar o processo de constituição da perinatologia como área de conhecimento procurando identificar os avanços teórico e metodológico que progressivamente se dão na caracterização da morbimortalidade - além de outros fenômenos a ela relacionados - como objeto especifico de estudo da mesma. Apesar de mencionado, pela tendência a se privilegiar nos estudos do campo as questões perinatais como relacionadas primordialmente a questões orgânicas, os autores procuram indicar a forma como o social - descaracterizado como dimensão própria - inscreve-se no clássico paradígma biológico de investigação da área, que o reduz e o fragmenta. Buscando demonstrar que o social refere-se a instância autônoma e ocupa lugar relevante na determinação de eventos perinatais, os autores apresentam algumas tentativas de estudos sociológicos aonde a morbimortalidade perinatal é analisada a partir do referencial das classes sociais. Concluem que tais estudos permitem não somente recuperar, do ponto de vista ontológico, a dupla natureza do fenômeno - tanto biológica, quanto social - mas, igualmente, abrir perspectivas para um aprofundamento das questões epistemológicas presentes na análise da morbimortalidade perinatal, enquanto objeto de natureza interdisciplinar.
Sucrose sensing through nascent peptide‐meditated ribosome stalling at the stop codon of Arabidopsis bZIP11 uORF2
Authors: Yamashita Yui , Takamatsu Seidai , Glasbrenner Michael , Becker Thomas , Naito Satoshi , Beckmann Roland 
Published: March 2017

Arabidopsis bZIP11 is a transcription factor that modulates amino acid metabolism under high‐sucrose conditions. Expression of bZIP11 is downregulated in a sucrose‐dependent manner during translation. Previous in vivo studies have identified the second upstream open reading frame (uORF2) as an essential regulatory element for the sucrose‐dependent translational repression of bZIP11. However, it remains unclear how uORF2 represses bZIP11 expression under high‐sucrose conditions. Through biochemical experiments using cell‐free translation systems, we report on sucrose‐mediated ribosome stalling at the stop codon of uORF2. The C‐terminal 10 amino acids (29‐SFSVxFLxxLYYV‐41) of uORF2 are important for ribosome stalling. Our results demonstrate that uORF2 encodes a regulatory nascent peptide that functions to sense intracellular sucrose abundance. This is the first biochemical identification of the intracellular sucrose sensor.
A coupled vegetation/sediment transport model for dryland environments
Authors: Mayaud Jerome R. , Bailey Richard M. , Wiggs Giles F. S. 
Published: March 2017

AbstractDryland regions are characterized by patchy vegetation, erodible surfaces, and erosive aeolian processes. Understanding how these constituent factors interact and shape landscape evolution is critical for managing potential environmental and anthropogenic impacts in drylands. However, modeling wind erosion on partially vegetated surfaces is a complex problem that has remained challenging for researchers. We present the new, coupled cellular automaton Vegetation and Sediment TrAnsport (ViSTA) model, which is designed to address fundamental questions about the development of arid and semiarid landscapes in a spatially explicit way. The technical aspects of the ViSTA model are described, including a new method for directly imposing oblique wind and transport directions onto a cell‐based domain. Verification tests for the model are reported, including stable state solutions, the impact of drought and fire stress, wake flow dynamics, temporal scaling issues, and the impact of feedbacks between sediment movement and vegetation growth on landscape morphology. The model is then used to simulate an equilibrium nebkha dune field, and the resultant bed forms are shown to have very similar size and spacing characteristics to nebkhas observed in the Skeleton Coast, Namibia. The ViSTA model is a versatile geomorphological tool that could be used to predict threshold‐related transitions in a range of dryland ecogeomorphic systems.
Lake and wetland ecosystem services measuring water storage and local climate regulation

Published: March 2017

AbstractDeveloping interdisciplinary methods to measure ecosystem services is a scientific priority, however, progress remains slow in part because we lack ecological production functions (EPFs) to quantitatively link ecohydrological processes to human benefits. In this study, we tested a new approach, combining a process‐based model with regression models, to create EPFs to evaluate water storage and local climate regulation from a green infrastructure project on the Yongding River in Beijing, China. Seven artificial lakes and wetlands were established to improve local water storage and human comfort; evapotranspiration (ET) regulates both services. Managers want to minimize the trade‐off between water losses and cooling to sustain water supplies while lowering the heat index (HI) to improve human comfort. We selected human benefit indicators using water storage targets and Beijing's HI, and the Variable Infiltration Capacity model to determine the change in ET from the new ecosystems. We created EPFs to quantify the ecosystem services as marginal values [Δfinal ecosystem service/Δecohydrological process]: (1) Δwater loss (lake evaporation/volume)/Δdepth and (2) Δsummer HI/ΔET. We estimate the new ecosystems increased local ET by 0.7 mm/d (20.3 W/m2) on the Yongding River. However, ET rates are causing water storage shortfalls while producing no improvements in human comfort. The shallow lakes/wetlands are vulnerable to drying when inflow rates fluctuate, low depths lead to higher evaporative losses, causing water storage shortfalls with minimal cooling effects. We recommend managers make the lakes deeper to increase water storage, and plant shade trees to improve human comfort in the parks.

Published: March 2017

AbstractUntil recently, it was believed that the genomes of higher organisms contain, in addition to the four canonical DNA bases, only 5‐methyl‐dC (m5dC) as a modified base to control epigenetic processes. In recent years, this view has changed dramatically with the discovery of 5‐hydroxymethyl‐dC (hmdC), 5‐formyl‐dC (fdC), and 5‐carboxy‐dC (cadC) in DNA from stem cells and brain tissue. N6‐methyldeoxyadenosine (m6dA) is the most recent base reported to be present in the genome of various eukaryotic organisms. This base, together with N4‐methyldeoxycytidine (m4dC), was first reported to be a component of bacterial genomes. In this work, we investigated the levels and distribution of these potentially epigenetically relevant DNA bases by using a novel ultrasensitive UHPLC–MS method. We further report quantitative data for m5dC, hmdC, fdC, and cadC, but we were unable to detect either m4dC or m6dA in DNA isolated from mouse embryonic stem cells or brain and liver tissue, which calls into question their epigenetic relevance.
Novel cytotoxic oxovanadium(IV) complexes: Influence of pyrazole‐incorporated heterocyclic scaffolds on their biological response
Authors: Gajera Sanjay B. , Mehta Jugal V. , Kanthecha Darshana N. , Patel Ravi R. , Patel Mohan N. 
Published: March 2017

Homoleptic VOIV complexes with bidentate heterocycles, namely bipyrazole/pyrimidin‐2‐amine/triazolopyrimidine derivatives, are novel square pyramidal oxovanadium(IV) complexes. Their identities have been established using physicochemical techniques, namely elemental and spectral (ESI‐MS, IR, UV–visible) analyses. The in vitro antibacterial activities against Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive microorganisms have been studied for all compounds, exhibiting good inhibition as compared to the ligands. In addition, all compounds exhibit significant cytotoxicity towards brine shrimp with LD50 values obtained in the range 8–24 μg ml−1. Cellular level cytotoxicity has been investigated using bioassay of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the complexes showing inevitable viability as concentration increases. Notably, UV absorption spectral titrations of the synthesized complexes with DNA reveal that the complexes bind to calf thymus DNA (CT‐DNA) through intercalation mode (Kb = 104–105 M−1). Molecular docking reveals that the compounds are stacked between the base pairs of DNA. The results suggest that the complexes show promising binding affinity compared to the ligands towards CT‐DNA.
Selectively enhanced oil retention of porous polyimide bearing materials by direct chemical modification

Published: March 2017

ABSTRACTPorous polyimide (PI) materials containing lubricating oil have been widely used as bearing retainers in aerospace industry. High oil content and retention of porous bearing materials play an important role in assuring a successful mission of the spacecraft. Keeping both oil content and retention of bearing retainer materials high, however, is one of the bottlenecks to fulfill long lifetime missions. Chemical modification is expected to break this limitation by changing the surface properties. Inspired by this, here for the first time, the authors design a chemical method to improve silicon oil retention of porous PI samples. The results indicated that this modification could not only change the wettability of PI from hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity but also enhance the silicon oil retention from 52% to 87%. This strategy provides a novel approach to improve the oil retention of porous PI materials, which has the potential application in preparing bearing retainers with reliable, long‐term performance. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Integrated Reporting and Stakeholder Engagement: The Effect on Information Asymmetry
Authors: García‐Sánchez Isabel‐María , Noguera‐Gámez Ligia 
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe aim of this study is to analyse the possible relationship between integrated information disclosure and the degree of information asymmetry. Additionally, we analyse this relationship in firms characterised by higher/lower financial reporting quality and those located in environments defined by strong/weak investor protection. The initial results obtained after applying the panel data methodology confirm that there is a negative relationship between information asymmetry and the disclosure of an integrated report, which indicates that using this tool to inform can help to mitigate agency problems, facilitate corporate decision‐making and improve the information among investors. Further, our first complementary analysis shows that the integrated report effect is more statistically significant relative to information asymmetry in countries with strong investor protection. We can also observe in the second complementary analysis that companies that report a lower quality of financial information have a more important reduction effect on asymmetric information than firms with higher‐quality annual accounts.
