Fitzi, True-Believer: The Legacy of M. Eleanor Fitzgerald
Authors: Kennedy Jeffery 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
M. Eleanor Fitzgerald (known to friends and colleagues as “Fitzi”) was the long-time business manager of the Provincetown Players and the subsequent incarnations of the group that continued until 1929. This article traces her legacy from her humble childhood in northern Wisconsin, experiences with the Seventh Day Adventist Church and Dr. Kellogg's Battle Creek Sanitarium, to her work and relationships with anarchists Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman and their publication Mother Earth. Beginning with the Players in 1918, she ultimately served as their business manager, as well as becoming their chief organizer, protector, guiding spirit, and conscience. Her work continued with the Group Theatre, Federal Theatre Project and, finally, the Dramatic Workshop at the New School for Social Research, run by German playwright and director Erwin Piscator. Because of her passion and devotion to her work and those she worked with, she developed close and influential friendships with O'Neill, Berkman, Goldman, Piscator, and the many playwrights and actors she shepherded over the years. Malcolm Cowley wrote, “The story of the new American theater cannot truly be told without mentioning Fitzi's part in it” and this article attempts to do just that.
The Pen and The Brush: Eugene O'Neill, Visual Artists, and Women Muses
Authors: Roberts Janet M. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
This article reconfigures the lines of the author's pen and the artist's brush in Eugene O'Neill's formative career as a playwright. Visual artists in Provincetown and New York, returning to America from Paris, sought to recreate a collaborative com-munity. In this interarts matrix, three women, sources of inspiration, include Agnes Boulton, Christine Ell, and Dorothy Day. Commonly con-sidered as models for composite characters in Eugene O'Neill's plays, they are also associated with significant visual artists' works. O'Neill is viewed in a broader context of his relationships with visual artists and their common women muses. To explore this relation between the playwright's and the visual artist's imagination, especially regarding women as subject and object of the male gaze, I explore the impact of figures of the Ashcan School in O'Neill's milieu. The intertextual discussion is extended through allusions to cognitive psychology and neuroscience. I draw analogies between the playwright's imaginative working process and that of a major artist, Marsden Hartley, as both seek peace of mind. Both a painting and a play require a viewing audience to be complete, different spectators seeing differently. O'Neill develops a visual style of playwriting in his stage directions and character descriptions. I reinterpret the work of those artists active in stagecraft at the Wharf Theater and the Provincetown Theater in New York in association with O'Neill who implemented the detailed stage directions in O'Neill's scripts and interacted with him, acted in the plays, and, together with O'Neill, formed a creative gestalt that enhanced each other's creative consciousness and process.

Introduction:Sports-related concussion (SRC) is a substantial concern in collegiate athletics. Some studies of SRC that make comparisons by sex are limited by sample size, follow-up duration, or referral bias. Sex-specific predictors of occurrence and recovery are uncertain.Methods:A 15-year retrospective cohort study identified 1,200 Columbia University varsity athletes (822 male [68.5%], 378 female [31.5%]) at risk of collegiate SRC.Results:A total of 228 athletes experienced at least one collegiate concussion, including 88 female athletes (23.3% of female athletes) and 140 male athletes (17.0% of male athletes) (P= 0.01); follow-up data were available on 97.8% of these athletes. Postconcussion symptoms were similar by sex, with the exception of sleep disturbance (29.3% of male athletes versus 42.0% of female athletes;P= 0.048) and memory impairment (43.6% of male athletes versus 30.7% of female athletes;P= 0.052), although the latter difference was not statistically significant. Risk factors for collegiate concussion included female sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1 to 2.0) or precollegiate concussion (OR, 2.9; 95% CI, 2.2 to 3.9). Prolonged recovery was predicted by the presence of eight or more postconcussion symptoms for all athletes (OR, 3.77; 95% CI, 1.68 to 8.46) and for female athletes only (OR, 8.24; 95% CI, 1.58 to 43.0); this finding was not statistically significant for male athletes.Discussion:Female athletes were more likely than male athletes to experience concussion. Increasing numbers of prior concussions predicted recurrence. Although most postconcussion symptoms were highly intercorrelated, the total number of symptoms predicted a prolonged recovery period.Conclusion:This study confirms sex-based differences in SRCs. Longitudinal studies of collegiate cohorts should attempt to limit follow-up bias and offer opportunities to clarify determinants of SRC.
Drivers of Residential Energy Saving
Authors: Leelakulthanit Orose 
Published: November 2017

One of the main strategies in dealing with the problem of global warming in today’s world is saving energy or employing an efficient use of energy. It is the intention of this study to investigate the determinants of residential energy saving. Seven motives for residential energy saving have been identified: the benefits of saving money, and solving the global warming problem, as well as accepting responsibility for energy, knowing how to save energy, committing to the saving of energy saving through pledges, having a role model for energy saving, and comparing the current energy bill with the previous months’ bills. A total of 350 responses were collected from self-identified adult energy saving shoppers in Bangkok. The results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that the positive factors affecting residential energy saving were commitment to energy saving through making pledges, saving money, accepting saving energy as the person’s responsibility, knowing how to save energy, and comparing one’s current energy bill with that of the previous months. The analysis of the effective strategies for residential energy saving will be discussed.
Contes, légendes, blagues, anecdotes et mystifications : la tradition orale de Pubnico
Authors: d’Entremont Carmen 
Published: November 2017

Cette note de recherche a pour objectif de présenter les résultats d’une enquête sur le terrain effectuée à Pubnico, Nouvelle-Écosse, mon village d’origine, entre 2004 et 2006. Il s’agissait d’évaluer le dynamisme de la littérature orale de cette région acadienne. La problématique de la recherche se concentre sur les questions suivantes : est-ce qu’il existe dans la mémoire des gens des récits folkloriques, transmis de génération en génération, par le bouche-à-oreille sans l’aide de l’écriture ? Est-ce que la pratique des récits oraux joue un rôle important dans ce milieu ? Si oui, quels genres sont actifs de nos jours ? L’enquête révèle, entre autres, que la pratique des récits oraux est un phénomène culturel encore dynamique à Pubnico et elle met en valeur l’importance de récits appartenant à des genres moins classiques qui intéressaient peu les premiers ethnologues, comme l’anecdote.
ONTOLOGICAL AND EPISTEMOLOGICAL VAGUENESS OF POST-STRUCTURALIST PARADIGM IN GEOGRAPHY
Authors: Trifunović Mlađen 
Published: November 2017

Initially, the post-structuralism paradigm entered geography via the meaning theory criticism, which developed within the literary theory and philosophical hermeneutics. The landscape is being observed analogue with the text, in which process the basic characteristics of spatiality are openness, dynamics, layering and historicism. The dominant concept of spatiality, on which post-structuralist geography is based, is now relationalism that observes a location as an intersection of different types of migrations, incessant flow and identity decomposition. In addition, the notion of boundary is being denied and trans-territoriality is being insisted on. The paper attempts to outline basic problems and vagueness of the relationism perception of spatiality and post-structuralist geography based on the results of Parmenides dialogue of Plato which suggested that this concept reached its final logical consequences in denial of otherness instead of affirmation. Hence, rationalistic geography becomes policy, i.e. an ideology of space.
Winter Sentinel‐1 Backscatter as a Predictor of Spring Arctic Sea Ice Melt Pond Fraction

Published: November 2017

AbstractSpring melt pond fraction (fp) has been shown to influence September sea ice extent and, with a growing need to improve melt pond physics in climate and forecast models, observations at large spatial scales are needed. We present a novel technique for estimating fp on sea ice at high spatial resolution from the Sentinel‐1 satellite during the winter period leading up to spring melt. A strong correlation (r = −0.85) is found between winter radar backscatter and fp from first‐year and multiyear sea ice data collected in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) in 2015. Observations made in the CAA in 2016 are used to validate a fp retrieval algorithm, and a fp prediction for the CAA in 2017 is made. The method is effective using the horizontal transmit and receive polarization channel only and shows promise for providing seasonal, pan‐Arctic, fp maps for improved understanding of melt pond distributions and forecast model skill.
Recent Developments in the [5+2] Cycloaddition
Authors: Pellissier Hélène 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe [5+2] cycloaddition allows the synthesis of a diversity of complex highly functionalized seven‐membered products in a single step. These cycloadducts can readily be further manipulated synthetically for use in the synthesis of a number of complex natural products and important biologically active products containing seven‐membered rings. In addition to the common and highly efficient [5+2] cycloadditions of (oxido)pyrylium and (oxido)pyridinium ions with various π‐systems, providing an easy access to a wide range of novel heterocyclic seven‐membered rings exhibiting an oxygen or nitrogen bridge, the metal‐catalyzed [5+2] cycloadditions still attract a great attention and have become one of the most popular ways of constructing seven‐membered compounds. Among the most important reactions are metal‐catalyzed (hetero) [5+2] cycloadditions of vinyl‐substituted three‐membered rings, rhodium‐catalyzed [5+2] cycloadditions of 3‐acyloxy‐1,4‐enynes, and metal‐catalyzed [5+2] cycloadditions of ortho‐vinylphenols and ortho‐vinyl/arylanilines.Abbreviations: Ar: aryl; Bipy: bipyridine; Bn: benzyl; Boc: tert‐butoxycarbonyl; cod: cyclooctadiene; coe: cyclooctene; Cp: cyclopentadienyl; Cp*: pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; DABCO: 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane; dbcot: dibenzocyclooctatetraene; DBU: 1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene; DCE: 1,2‐dichloroethane; de: diastereomeric excess; DIPEA: diisopropylethylamine; DMAP: 4‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)pyridine; DMF: N,N‐dimethylformamide; dppb: 1,4‐bis(diphenylphosphino)butane; dppe: 1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane; ee: enantiomeric excess; Hept: heptyl; Hex: hexyl; HFIP: hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol; L: ligand; M: metal; MCPBA: 3‐chloroperoxybenzoic acid; MOM: methoxymethyl; Mes: mesyl; MS: molecular sieves; Naph: naphthyl; NBD: norbornadiene; Ns: nosyl (4‐nitrobenzenesulfonyl); Pent: pentyl; Phth: phthaloyl; Piv: pivaloyl; PMB: p‐methoxybenzyl; rr: regioselectivity ratio; r.t.: room temperature; TBS: tert‐butyldimethylsilyl; TES: triethylsilyl; Tf: trifluoromethanesulfonyl; TFA: trifluoroacetic acid; TFE: 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol; THF: tetrahydrofuran; TIPS: triisopropylsilyl; TMP: 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine; TMS: trimethylsilyl; Tol: tolyl; Ts: 4‐toluenesulfonyl (tosyl)magnified image

AbstractNon‐oxidative dehydroaromatization of methane (MDA) is a promising catalytic process for direct valorization of natural gas to liquid hydrocarbons. The application of this reaction in practical technology is hindered by a lack of understanding about the mechanism and nature of the active sites in benchmark zeolite‐based Mo/ZSM‐5 catalysts, which precludes the solution of problems such as rapid catalyst deactivation. By applying spectroscopy and microscopy, it is shown that the active centers in Mo/ZSM‐5 are partially reduced single‐atom Mo sites stabilized by the zeolite framework. By combining a pulse reaction technique with isotope labeling of methane, MDA is shown to be governed by a hydrocarbon pool mechanism in which benzene is derived from secondary reactions of confined polyaromatic carbon species with the initial products of methane activation.
Are Decisions Made by Group Representatives More Risk Averse? The Effect of Sense of Responsibility
Authors: Wang Zuo‐Jun , Kuang Yi , Tang Hui‐Yi , Gao Cong , Chen Ai , Chan Kai Qin 
Published: November 2017

AbstractWe tested the hypothesis that a sense of responsibility drives group representatives' decisions to be more risk averse compared with decisions made by individuals. The hypothesis was supported when the monetary considerations (i.e., payoff inequality and the magnitude effect) were controlled for in the potential gain domain as well as in the potential loss domain. Evidence showed that this is because the group representatives were concerned about how they would view themselves (e.g., guilt and self‐blame) and also how they would be viewed by others (i.e., to avoid being blamed and looked down upon by others). This study provided new insights into understanding group representatives' decision making under risk. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Tricyanopropylidene‐Based Merocyanine Dyes: Synergistic Experimental and Theoretical Investigations
Authors: Parthasarathy Venkatakrishnan , Pandey Ravindra , Das Puspendu Kumar , Castet Frédéric , Blanchard‐Desce Mireille 
Published: November 2017

AbstractNew merocyanines dyes with tricyanopropylidene‐based acceptor units connected to dihexylaminophenyl or dihexylaminothiophenyl donor moieties through polyenic bridges of different lengths have been designed. All derivatives exhibited a strong dipolar character and showed a typical intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) transition. NMR spectroscopy experiments combined with DFT calculations demonstrated that both the nature of the donor–acceptor pair and the length of the conjugated linker strongly impact the electronic structure of the dyes and induce alteration in the bond‐length alternation (BLA) and marked shifts in the ICT absorption bands. Hyper‐Rayleigh scattering experiments revealed an exponential increase in the second‐harmonic generation response as the polyenic chain length was increased. Strikingly, the largest chromophores with the strongest donor–acceptor pair exhibited a very high first hyperpolarizabilty together with a cyanine‐like electronic structure, which apparently contradicts the paradigm of optimal BLA predicted by the two‐state model. Although it decreased as the polyenic chain length increased, all dyes also exhibited high thermal stability, which demonstrates their potential for applications in nonlinear optical devices.

AbstractThe clinical course of breast cancer varies from one patient to another. Currently, the choice of therapy relies on clinical parameters and histological and molecular tumor features. Alas, these markers are informative in only a subset of patients. Therefore, additional predictors of disease outcome would be valuable for treatment stratification. Extensive studies showed that the degree of variation of the nuclear DNA content, i.e., aneuploidy, determines prognosis. Our aim was to further elucidate the molecular basis of aneuploidy. We analyzed five diploid and six aneuploid tumors with more than 20 years of follow‐up. By performing FISH with a multiplexed panel of 10 probes to enumerate copy numbers in individual cells, and by sequencing 563 cancer‐related genes, we analyzed how aneuploidy is linked to intratumor heterogeneity. In our cohort, none of the patients with diploid tumors died of breast cancer during follow‐up in contrast to four of six patients with aneuploid tumors (mean survival 86.4 months). The FISH analysis showed markedly increased genomic instability and intratumor heterogeneity in aneuploid tumors. MYC gain was observed in only 20% of the diploid cancers, while all aneuploid cases showed a gain. The mutation burden was similar in diploid and aneuploid tumors, however, TP53 mutations were not observed in diploid tumors, but in all aneuploid tumors in our collective. We conclude that quantitative measurements of intratumor heterogeneity by multiplex FISH, detection of MYC amplification and TP53 mutation could augment prognostication in breast cancer patients.

Published: November 2017

AbstractReal‐time fMRI neurofeedback (rtfMRI‐nf) with simultaneous EEG allows volitional modulation of BOLD activity of target brain regions and investigation of related electrophysiological activity. We applied this approach to study correlations between thalamic BOLD activity and alpha EEG rhythm. Healthy volunteers in the experimental group (EG, n = 15) learned to upregulate BOLD activity of the target region consisting of the mediodorsal (MD) and anterior (AN) thalamic nuclei using rtfMRI‐nf during retrieval of happy autobiographical memories. Healthy subjects in the control group (CG, n = 14) were provided with a sham feedback. The EG participants were able to significantly increase BOLD activities of the MD and AN. Functional connectivity between the MD and the inferior precuneus was significantly enhanced during the rtfMRI‐nf task. Average individual changes in the occipital alpha EEG power significantly correlated with the average MD BOLD activity levels for the EG. Temporal correlations between the occipital alpha EEG power and BOLD activities of the MD and AN were significantly enhanced, during the rtfMRI‐nf task, for the EG compared to the CG. Temporal correlations with the alpha power were also significantly enhanced for the posterior nodes of the default mode network, including the precuneus/posterior cingulate, and for the dorsal striatum. Our findings suggest that the temporal correlation between the MD BOLD activity and posterior alpha EEG power is modulated by the interaction between the MD and the inferior precuneus, reflected in their functional connectivity. Our results demonstrate the potential of the rtfMRI‐nf with simultaneous EEG for noninvasive neuromodulation studies of human brain function.

AbstractTriclosan has been shown to have endocrine‐disrupting effects in aquatic organisms. In 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration banned the use of triclosan in consumer soaps. Before the ban, triclosan was reported at low concentrations in the aquatic environment, although the effect of triclosan on reproduction in teleost fish species is yet to be clarified. Here we investigated the effects of triclosan on embryo development and reproduction, and during the early life stage, in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) by using Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development tests 229, 212 and 210, with minor modifications. In adult medaka, exposure to 345.7 μg l–1 suppressed fecundity and increased mortality but had no effect on fertility. Exposure to 174.1 or 345.7 μg l–1 increased liver vitellogenin concentration in females but decreased liver vitellogenin concentration in males. With triclosan exposure, mortality was increased dose dependently during the embryonic and early larval stages, and a particularly steep increase in mortality was observed soon after hatching. The lowest observed effect concentrations of triclosan in Japanese medaka obtained in the present study (mortality [embryonic and larval stages, 276.3 μg l–1; early life stage, 134.4 μg l–1; adult stage, 174.1 μg l–1], growth [134.4 μg l–1], vitellogenin [174.1 μg l–1], fecundity [345.7 μg l–1] and fertility [>345.7 μg l–1]) were at least 55 times (compared with the USA) and up to 13 400 times (compared with Germany) greater than the detected triclosan levels in the aquatic environment. These results suggest that triclosan may not be affecting fish populations in the aquatic environment.

AbstractOne of the most useful applications of silver colloidal solutions is in surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), because the amplification factor of about 106 allows the vibrational study and detection of highly diluted species in aqueous environment, and more recently in early diagnosis of cancer and imaging. A useful colloid for SERS is that reported by Leopold and Lendl (Colloid 1). However, SERS response from anions or rich electron density molecules has been difficult to obtain in this colloid. Recently, a minor modification of the surface charge density (Colloid 2) allowed to observe reproducible SERS spectrum from gallate anion (GA−). In this work, the structure of both solid and solution interfaces were characterized using molecular dynamics. Experimental values of ζ‐potentials were reproduced by simulations, and the chemical potential of GA− approaching both interfaces was calculated using “umbrella sampling” and the weighted histograms analisys methodology (WHAM). The calculated barrier to approach the interface of Colloid 1 is 2.8 kJmol−1 greater than in Colloid 2, and the stability of GA− with Colloid 2 at the minimum is 3.5 kJmol−1 more stable than with Colloid 1. Finally, the calculated average orientation of GA− adsorbed onto the colloidal surface is in excellent agreement with the experimental SERS observations.
