Developmental Cascade and Transactional Associations Among Biological and Behavioral Indicators of Temperament and Maternal Behavior
Authors: Perry Nicole B. , Dollar Jessica M. , Calkins Susan D. , Bell Martha Ann 
Published: May 2017

An empirical model of temperament that assessed transactional and cascade associations between respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), negative affectivity, and the caregiving environment (i.e., maternal intrusiveness) across three time points during infancy (N = 388) was examined. Negative affectivity at 5 months was associated positively with maternal intrusiveness at 10 months, which in turn predicted increased negative affectivity at 24 months. RSA at 5 months was associated positively with negative affectivity at 10 months, which subsequently predicted greater RSA at 24 months. Finally, greater RSA at 5 months predicted greater negative affectivity at 10 months, which in turn predicted greater maternal intrusiveness at 24 months. Results are discussed from a biopsychosocial perspective of development.

SummaryAllelic and genotype frequencies of four cytokine genes were obtained from 738 subjects from North‐ and South‐Italy. Populations were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium for all genes but significantly differed in the frequency of all SNPs and three haplotypes. In the MDS graph, they were plotted in separate positions close to Europeans and an Ivorian population, respectively.
Liminality in the occupational identity of mental health peer support workers: A qualitative study
Authors: Simpson Alan , Oster Candice , Muir‐Cochrane Eimear 
Published: May 2017

AbstractPeer support is increasingly provided as a component of mental health care, where people in recovery from mental health problems use their lived experiences to provide support to those experiencing similar difficulties. In the present study, we explored the evolution of peer support workers’ (PSW) occupational identities. A qualitative study was undertaken alongside a pilot randomized, controlled trial of peer support for service users discharged from a mental hospital in London, UK. Two focus groups were conducted with eight PSW. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 13 service users receiving peer support and on two occasions with a peer support coordinator. The data were analysed using theoretical thematic analysis, focussing on occupational identity formation. We discuss how the occupational identity of PSW evolved through the interplay between their lived experience, their training, and their engagement in the practice environment in such a way as to construct a liminal identity, with positive and negative outcomes. While the difficulties associated with the liminality of PSW could be eased through the formalization and professionalization of the PSW role, there are concerns that this could lead to an undermining of the value of PSW in providing a service by peers for peers that is separate from formal mental health care and relationships. Skilled support is essential in helping PSW negotiate the potential stressors and difficulties of a liminal PSW identity.

AbstractThe degree of hydrolysis (DH) of the ingredients was evaluated for Centropomus undecimalis juveniles. The in vitro experiment included wheat gluten (WG), corn gluten (CG), soybean meal (SBM) and pretreated phytase (SBM + phytase), soy protein concentrate (SPC), canola meal (CAN) and pretreated phytase (CAN + phytase), poultry byproduct meal (PBPM), chicken meal (CHKM), dried whey (DW), Pota meal (PM: mix of giant squid, fish soluble protein concentrate, crustacean meal, and fish oil), and Protiblend (PTB: aquatic and render mix). The highest acidic DH occurred with PTB (0.38 ± 0.06), CHKM (0.33 ± 0.3), and PBPM (0.25 ± 0.03). In the alkaline condition, PTB (1.6 ± 0.17 and 0.98 ± 0.05 for pyloric caeca and intestine, respectively) and CG (1.04 ± 0.4 and 0.75 ± 0.2 for caeca and intestine, respectively) provided the highest DH values. In vitro digestibility demonstrated that PTB was the highest (85.3%) followed by PBPM (51.4%), CAN + phytase (47.6%), CG (45.1%), and CHKM (46.5%). The in vivo experiment concerned the WG, CHKM, PBPM, PM, and PTB diets plus a reference diet with fishmeal (Ref diet). The total %DH was different (P < 0.05) with the lowest values for the WG diet (0.34 ± 0.09%) and Ref diet (0.34 ± 0.15). Free amino acid released during digestion was displayed for these diets and a bifactorial analysis produced no difference (P > 0.05). The apparent digestive coefficients ranged from 89.8 to 92.9% for protein and from 68 to 71.4% for energy.

Published: May 2017

AbstractA 9‐wk study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary protein and energy on growth performance of juvenile permit, Trachinotus falcatus, growing from approximately 30 to 150 g. Nine experimental diets were formulated to contain three levels of crude protein (400, 450, and 500 g/kg dry matter [DM]); and three levels of crude lipid (100, 200, and 300 g/kg DM) in a 3 × 3 factorial design. Growth rate and feed efficiency were significantly improved with increasing dietary protein levels from 400 to 500 g/kg and with dietary lipid levels from 100 to 200 g/kg. Fish body protein content was positively correlated with dietary ratio of digestible protein (DP) to digestible energy (DE) (P < 0.01, R2 = 0.83), while body lipid was negatively correlated with dietary DP/DE (R2 = 0.55, P < 0.05) but positively correlated with dietary DE levels (R2 = 0.66, P < 0.01). Results showed a protein‐sparing effect, as protein retention was significantly increased by increasing dietary lipid level. In conclusion, the diet containing DP of 392.7 g/kg and DE of 18.8 MJ/kg (DM), corresponding to a DP/DE of 20.9 g/MJ, is suggested as an optimal feed for growth and feed efficiency in juvenile permit.
Clinical characteristics of functional dyspepsia depending on chemosensitivity to capsaicin
Authors: Hammer J. , Führer M. 
Published: May 2017

AbstractBackgroundAugmented chemosensitivity to capsaicin has been demonstrated in approximately half of functional dyspepsia (FD) patients.AimWe determined clinical characteristics of FD patients with and without chemical hypersensitivity at baseline and after capsaicin ingestion for 4 weeks.MethodsN=49 outpatients with confirmed FD received an oral sensitivity test with 0.75 mg capsaicin at three occasions, before and after ingesting 0.25 mg capsaicin tid for 4 weeks. Symptomatic response to capsaicin allowed stratification to a capsaicin positive (chemosensitive) and a capsaicin negative (not chemosensitive) patient group. Symptom diaries were completed in the week before and during capsaicin ingestion.ResultsA total of 53% FD had a positive capsaicin test, Crohnbach alpha was 0.85. Basic clinical characteristics were comparable in capsaicin positive and negative FD, but median daily aggregate upper gastrointestinal symptoms scores were significantly higher in capsaicin positive (median: 9.4; 5.4/11.7) than in capsaicin negative patients (6.6; 4.1/8.1) (P<.05). After capsaicin ingestion, upper gastrointestinal symptoms scores were reduced by −3.3 (−4.9/−1.9; P<.001) in capsaicin positive and −2.6 (−3.8/−0.3; P<.05) in capsaicin negative patients. Lower abdominal symptoms were comparable in capsaicin positive and negative patients at baseline (NS). After capsaicin ingestion lower gastrointestinal symptoms scores were reduced by −1.0 (−1.8/−0.1; P<.05) in capsaicin positive but not significantly altered (−0.6; −1.7/+0.9; NS) in capsaicin negative patients. After long‐term capsaicin ingestion, the capsaicin test turned negative in 53% of chemosensitive patients (P<.01).ConclusionsDifferences in upper GI symptoms distinguished capsaicin positive and negative patients. Symptom improvement after long‐term capsaicin ingestion was indirect proportional to the capsaicin test result.

AbstractBackground and PurposeOropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is a major complaint following stroke, associated with poor clinical outcome and high mortality rates. We aimed at characterizing the kinematics of swallow response associated with unsafe swallowing in chronic poststroke patients with OD.Patients and MethodsConsecutive poststroke patients with a positive volume‐viscosity swallow test for OD 3 months following stroke were studied by videofluoroscopy (VFS). Demographical and clinical factors and kinematics of swallow response were compared between those poststroke patients with safe swallow (penetration‐aspiration scale, PAS≤2) and those with unsafe swallow (PAS≥3). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn for laryngeal vestibule closure (LVC) time which predicts unsafe swallow.ResultsWe studied 73 poststroke patients (76.7±9.3 years, 53.4% male) by VFS (60.4% with impaired safety, PAS=4.47±1.44, and 95.9% with impaired efficacy of swallow). Poststroke patients with unsafe swallow presented a poorer functional (Rankin 2.2±1.6 vs 1.2±1.0, P<.012) and nutritional status (MNA‐sf≤11, 34.2% vs 7.4%, P<.05) than poststroke patients with safe swallow. Poststroke patients with unsafe swallow presented a significant delay in LVC time (406.4±99.5 ms vs 318.9±80.4 ms; P<.05) and weaker tongue bolus propulsion forces (0.771±0.450 mJ vs 1.638±3.212 mJ; P=.043). LVC time ≥340 ms predicts unsafe swallow in chronic poststroke patients with a diagnostic accuracy of 0.78.ConclusionsImpaired safety of swallow in chronic poststroke patients is caused by specific impairments in swallow response including delayed timing of airway protection mechanisms and weak tongue propulsion forces. Treatments aiming to restore swallowing function in poststroke patients with OD should be targeted to improve these critical biomechanical events.

Dynamic indoor navigation with bayesian filters
Authors: Wang Wenlu , Ku Wei-Shinn 
Published: May 2017

Indoor space navigation has always been an issue without GPS localization. Especially for complicated cases such as emergency evacuation and dynamic navigation, there is no existing efficient solution to the best of our knowledge. Localization in indoor spaces has to rely on sensing devices (e.g., Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) readers, WiFi routers, bluetooth beacons) rather than GPS, and indoor floor plans are more complicated than road networks. Consequently, existing spatial outdoor query techniques are not suitable for this new challenge. However, raw data generated by sensing devices suffers from false negatives and errors. As a result, filtering methods are necessary for accurate localization.
We propose a novel dynamic shortest path navigation strategy to enable efficient navigation for emergency evacuation in indoor spaces. This strategy achieves optimal time efficiency by: 1) using a Bayesian inference based concurrent model, which integrates dynamic shortest path searching into the filtering process, thus achieving an efficient and accurate search for any time-sensitive situation; 2) storing alternative parent nodes along the shortest path search for a fast, dynamic search.
We use both particle filters and the Kalman filter to study which one is more suitable for dynamic environments. In general, we develop an innovative, dynamic shortest path navigation solution based on Bayesian inference localization.

AbstractNatural samples of the substituted basic Cu(II) chloride series, Cu4–xMx2+(OH)6Cl2(M = Zn, Ni, or Mg) were investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in order to elucidate compositional boundaries associated with paratacamite and its congeners. The compositional ranges examined are Cu3.65Zn0.35(OH)6Cl2 – Cu3.36Zn0.64(OH)6Cl2 and Cu3.61Ni0.39(OH)6Cl2 – Cu3.13Ni0.87(OH)6Cl2, along with a single Mg-bearing phase. The majority of samples studied have trigonal symmetry (R3̄m) analogous to that of herbertsmithite (Zn) and gillardite (Ni), with a ≈ 6.8, c ≈ 14.0 Å. Crystallographic variations for these samples caused by composition are compared with both published and new data for the R3̄m sub-cell of paratacamite, paratacamite-(Mg) and paratacamite-(Ni). The observed trends suggest that the composition of end-members associated with the paratacamite congeners depend upon the nature of the substituting cation.

Extracting the symmetry of the human face from digital photographs

Published: May 2017

Abstract
By defining a midline and selecting six pairs of the landmarks of the human face on digital photographs, we extracted the symmetry of the human face by means of digital techniques. As a first approach to the symmetry of the human face, the distances and the tilts from the midline, between similar landmarks, were computed and averaged, respectively. The procrustes analysis and the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), applied on patches on the six pairs of the landmarks of the human face, were used as a second approach to the symmetry of the human face. To have a better estimation of the symmetry of the whole human face, the photographs in grayscale and color were cut on pairs of strips, equally spaced from the midline, and then the strips were compared by the HOG feature extractor. The symmetry of the human face was extracted from 89 photographs of human faces (37 females and 52 males, ages 28.67±6.65 and 35.65±12.2 years, respectively). The HOG feature extractor applied on strips for the photographs in color and grayscale provided more confident values for the symmetry of the human face, which was well correlated with the assigned value by the photographers and physiotherapists. Also, an experiment was performed to evaluate the attractiveness as a function of the human face symmetry; thus, two groups of men and women were asked to sort digital photographs of women and men according to the attractiveness of women/men on the photographs. The results show that the most selected digital photographs were those with the highest symmetry scores.
Design considerations for patient-specific surgical templates for total hip arthroplasty with respect to acetabular cartilage

Published: May 2017

Abstract
Patient-specific instruments (PSIs) are clinically used to support the surgeon during a planned intervention. The planning is typically done based on volumetric image data from medical imaging systems, e.g. computed tomography (CT). The PSI uses the known surface structure of a bone for orientation during the intervention. Some surfaces of human bone are covered with a layer of cartilage which is hardly visible in clinically applied CT-imaging. This experimental study investigates ten different PSI designs and their effect to the overall accuracy when neglecting the cartilage in the design process. Therefore, a model of an acetabulum is used to simulate the use case of PSI in total hip arthroplasty. The concept of the different designs is to create structural elasticities in the PSI to avoid shifting of the whole instrument and rather have a small part of it deformed by cartilage. A needle array structure, for instance, should also be able to oust or penetrate remaining soft tissue in the acetabulum.
An Inscribed Etruscan Urn from the Firmin Didot Collection
Authors: Huntsman Theresa , Wallace Rex 
Published: May 2017

AbstractA Chiusine urn whose provenance can be traced back to the Firmin-Didot collection was recently brought to the attention of the authors and appears to be previously unknown in any corpora or other publications of Etruscan inscriptions, despite its remarkable condition. This urn came from excavations undertaken by Alessandro François between 1852 and 1857, and the family name appears to be of Umbrian origin.

Published: May 2017

AbstractBrassica rapa is a model species for agronomic, ecological, evolutionary, and translational studies. Here, we describe high-density SNP discovery and genetic map construction for a B. rapa recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from field collected RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data. This high-density genotype data enables the detection and correction of putative genome misassemblies and accurate assignment of scaffold sequences to their likely genomic locations. These assembly improvements represent 7.1–8.0% of the annotated B. rapa genome. We demonstrate how using this new resource leads to a significant improvement for QTL analysis over the current low-density genetic map. Improvements are achieved by the increased mapping resolution and by having known genomic coordinates to anchor the markers for candidate gene discovery. These new molecular resources and improvements in the genome annotation will benefit the Brassicaceae genomics community and may help guide other communities in fine-tuning genome annotations.
Behavioral Deficits Following Withdrawal from Chronic Ethanol Are Influenced by SLO Channel Function in Caenorhabditis elegans

Published: May 2017

Abstract
Symptoms of withdrawal from chronic alcohol use are a driving force for relapse in alcohol dependence. Thus, uncovering molecular targets to lessen their severity is key to breaking the cycle of dependence. Using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, we tested whether one highly conserved ethanol target, the large-conductance, calcium-activated potassium channel (known as the BK channel or Slo1), modulates ethanol withdrawal. Consistent with a previous report, we found that C. elegans displays withdrawal-related behavioral impairments after cessation of chronic ethanol exposure. We found that the degree of impairment is exacerbated in worms lacking the worm BK channel, SLO-1, and is reduced by selective rescue of this channel in the nervous system. Enhanced SLO-1 function, via gain-of-function mutation or overexpression, also dramatically reduced behavioral impairment during withdrawal. Consistent with these results, we found that chronic ethanol exposure decreased SLO-1 expression in a subset of neurons. In addition, we found that the function of a distinct, conserved Slo family channel, SLO-2, showed an inverse relationship to withdrawal behavior, and this influence depended on SLO-1 function. Together, our findings show that modulation of either Slo family ion channel bidirectionally regulates withdrawal behaviors in worm, supporting further exploration of the Slo family as targets for normalizing behaviors during alcohol withdrawal.
