‘The Leaning Tower of Pizzazz’: Ted Tinling, couturier for the women’s professional tennis revolution
Authors: Tredway Kristi 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
From 1947 until his death in 1990, Ted Tinling created couture fashion pieces for the world’s top tennis stars. A dressmaker in London’s famed Mayfair fashion district, Tinling turned to women’s tennis fashion after World War II due to the constraints on his creativity that the post-war rationing of goods caused. Tinling created some of the most notable dresses in tennis fashion, including Gussy Moran’s dress and lace bloomers that shocked the Wimbledon crowds in 1949 and Billie Jean King’s ‘Battle of the Sexes’ dress in 1973, which she wore as she defeated Bobby Riggs. His compulsion to push the limits of fashion, no matter how much the powers that be are offended, made him a couturier that will never be replicated. Tinling’s fashions, with their veil of femininity, allowed female athletes to compete unencumbered by cultural expectations. This would be Tinling’s greatest feat.
Redefining the celebrity: ‘Self-made’ versus ‘Manufactured’ celebrity endorsers’ impact on consumers’ attitudes and purchase intentions
Authors: McCormick Karla 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In today’s advertising landscape the use of celebrity endorsers continues to be a popular type of advertising. Due to the media’s continual creation of reality television and the revolving door of reality stars, the celebrity culture has changed. The purpose of the study was to separate the type of ‘celebrity’ into two categories, ‘self-made’ and ‘manufactured’, and measure consumers’ attitudes and purchase intentions towards the brand the celebrity is endorsing. Two print advertisements were used that contained a ‘self-made’ and a ‘manufactured’ celebrity endorsement of apparel brands. Respondents viewed both advertisements in the same order and answered questions pertaining to their attitudes to and purchase intentions for the advertised brand. Findings indicated that both types of endorsers increased purchase intent and created favourable attitudes towards the advertised brand.

Published: July 2016

AbstractA new simple cloud point extraction/preconcentration method was developed for the HPLC-MS/MS determination of disulfiram in synthetic urine. Some parameters with an effect on the extraction, such as the concentration of Triton X-114, pH influence, incubation time, equilibration temperature and centrifuging parameters, were studied and optimised. The method proposed for the HPLC-MS/MS determination of disulfiram in synthetic urine with preliminary cloud point extraction was validated. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.025-15.4 ng mL

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Smart glasses are a new family of technological devices that share several characteristics with conventional eyeglasses. Yet, little is known about how individuals process them. Drawing upon categorization theories and prior research on technology acceptance, the authors conduct two empirical studies to show that (a) smart glasses are perceived as technology but vary in their degree of fashion, (b) the perception of smart glasses determines the factors that explain adoption intention, and (c) a majority of consumers process smart glasses as a combination of fashion and technology (“fashnology”), whereas a smaller number of consumers perceive them exclusively as technology or fashion, respectively.
Parallel D–D type domain decomposition algorithm for optimal control problem governed by parabolic partial differential equation
Authors: Zhang Bo , Chen Jixin , Yang Danping 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
A parallel domain decomposition algorithm for solving an optimal control problem governed by a parabolic partial differential equation is proposed. This algorithm is based upon non-overlapping domain decomposition. In every iteration, the global problem is reduced to solve simultaneously some implicit subproblems on many sub-domains by using explicit flux approximations near inner-boundaries at each time-step. Both a priori error bounds of optimal orders and optimal rates of convergence for the iterative schemes are presented. Numerical experiments are also performed to verified the theoretical analysis.

Effect of pH and annealing temperature on the structural and magnetic properties of cerium-substituted yttrium iron garnet powders produced by the sol-gel method
Authors: Yarici I. , Erol M. , Celik E. , Ozturk Y. 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Cerium substituted yttrium iron garnet (Ce0.2Y2.8Fe5O12; Ce-YIG) nanoparticles were produced via the sol-gel method from solutions of Ce-, Y- and Fe-based precursors, a solvent and a chelating agent. The solutions were dried at 200°C and heat treated at temperatures between 800 °C and 1400°C for 3 h in air. The effects of pH and annealing temperature on the structure, phase formation, magnetic properties and crystallite size were investigated. A cubic YIG phase was obtained for the sample annealed at 1400 °C. The presented results showed that the pH value of the starting solution affects the crystal size and consequently, the saturation magnetization.

AbstractManganese substituted cobalt ferrite (Co1–xMnxFe2O4with x = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 1) nanopowders were synthesized by chemical coprecipitation method. The synthesized magnetic nanoparticles were investigated by various characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The XRD results confirmed the presence of cubic spinel structure of the prepared powders and the average crystallite size of magnetic particles ranging from 23 to 45 nm. The VSM results showed that the magnetic properties varied with an increase in substituted manganese while SEM analysis showed the change in the morphology of obtained magnetic nanoparticles. The TG/DTA analysis indicated the formation of crystalline structure of the synthesized samples. The heat transfer rate was measured in specially prepared magnetic nanofluids (nanoparticles dispersed in carrier fluid transformer oil) as a function of time and temperature in presence of external magnetic fields. The experimental analysis indicated enhanced heat transfer rate of the magnetic nanofluids which depended upon the strength of external magnetic field and chemical composition.

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Bulk samples of the BixSe1-x system with (x = 0, 5, and 10) were prepared using conventional melt quenching technique. Thin films were then deposited by thermal evaporation technique under high vacuum conditions from the prepared bulk samples. Effect of Bi substitution on surface morphology, electrical and optical properties of BixSe1-x thin films was studied. X-ray diffraction studies showed the formation of nanocrystalline clusters at Bi concentration x = 10. Formation of these clusters resulted in a rough surface which was confirmed by AFM measurements. The film surface was smooth, with RMS roughness of 0.0124 nm for Bi5Se95. For Bi10Se90, the RMS roughness increased to 3.93 nm indicating the formation of Bi2Se3 clusters. A simple hot probe technique showed a transition from p-type to n-type due to Bi incorporation. Charge transport mechanisms were investigated by temperature dependent DC electrical conductivity measurements in the temperature range of 209 K to 313 K. Electrical activation energy (ΔE) of the films with different Bi concentrations was found to exhibit a notable change at the p to n transition. At low temperature, the conduction was in reasonable agreement with Mott’s condition of variable range hopping. Mott parameters and the density of localized states near Fermi level were evaluated and correlated with the structural changes resulting from Bi addition. In addition, a red shift of the optical absorption edge of the films under study caused by Bi-Se substitution was observed. Slight changes in the optical parameters were observed with the γ-irradiation. Addition of Bi atoms could be used to tailor the structural, electrical and optical properties of chalcogenide materials such as junctionless photovoltaic devices.
An Experimental Study on Engineering Characteristics of Improved Weathered Granite Soil for a High-Speed Railway Subgrade in South China
Authors: Yi Wen , Wang Yonghe 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Samples of weathered granite soil from job sites of a high-speed railway project in south China were tested in the laboratory. The results suggested that the soil could not meet the subgrade requirement of the high-speed railway in China. To address this issue, chemical treatment approach was examined in this study. The weathered granite was treated with two types of agents, lime and cement. A series of scenarios with varying dosages were investigated. The engineering characteristics of the treated soil including strength, deformation, moisture stability, and others were evaluated comprehensively through in-depth laboratory testing. As a result, it was revealed that the 5 % cement treatment scenario was most preferred. Furthermore, to verify the effectiveness of the treatment, settlement was monitored on a test road. The cumulative settlement curves indicated that the settlement in the treated subgrade reached a stable state since approximately 250 days from the completion of construction. This was sufficiently earlier than the installation of railway tracks. It was also found the settlement could sufficiently meet the Chinese Specification requirement. In summary, the proposed approach based on rigorous engineering testing and evaluation successfully improved the weathered granite for it to serve as a high-speed railway subgrade material in China.

Published: July 2016

Abstract
A pothole is one of the distresses in asphalt pavement caused by the presence of water in the asphalt pavement and the presence of traffic passing over the affected area. Recently, lots of potholes were observed due to heavy rain in Korea. Thus, the indirect tensile strength ratio (TSR) is commonly used based on the AASHTO T 283 procedure to evaluate the moisture susceptibility of an asphalt mixture; however, TSR cannot be used as a representative index for the mechanical behavior of the moisture-conditioned asphalt mixture. In this study, the dynamic modulus │E*│ laboratory test is applied as a replacement test for the TSR in order to assess the moisture susceptibility of four different asphalt mixtures. The dynamic modulus test is used to determine the % of retained stiffness, a term that was referred to as the dynamic modulus ratio (DMR). The results of both TSR and DMR conducted on the same mixtures are compared and statistically analyzed. The logistic regression model was used to evaluate the correlation between TSR and DMR. The correlation between TSR and DMR at 20°C is significant. However, there was no relation between TSR and DMR at other temperature ranges (5°C, 40°C, 54.4°C) because there was different viscoelastic behavior at different temperature.
Standard Processes for Calculating Uncertainty for Metallic Material Rotating Bar Bending Fatigue Properties
Authors: Yifei Gao , Xinbang Liang 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
ISO 1143:2010 and ISO 12107:2003 provide the three typical fatigue results used in uncertainty evaluation. These are (i) fatigue life at a predetermined stress, (ii) fatigue strength at a predetermined life, and (iii) the S-N curve. In this paper, the evaluation methods employed were for type A (those which are evaluated by the statistical method) and type B (those which are evaluated by other means). The application for the evaluation method was displayed by the example with testing data.
Assessing S-Type Process Quality of Data Involving Batch-to-Batch Variation
Authors: Liao M.-Y. , Wu C.-W. , Wen S.-H. 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Process-capability analysis is considered one of the most important engineering decision tools among various quality-assurance activities. For processes with an S-type quality characteristic, the index Cpu can provide an exact measure for process yield, and properly reflects the process quality. In real applications, variation between batches often exists in the manufacturing process. Therefore, this study describes data by the one-way random-effect model, and provides the generalized confidence interval for assessing Cpu. Simulations show that our proposed method is not affected by the increasing batch effect, and performs well when the total sample size is large enough.

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Nowadays, more and more people are keen on investing in their own personal fitness. In this paper, a series of experiments were conducted to investigate the feasibility of using ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam for comfort fitting, with a special reference to shoes applications. Based on the experimental results obtained, it was concluded that the EVA foam examined in this study could satisfy most of the requirements for comfort fitting shoes in terms of shape fixity, shape recovery, and elasticity. The two problems spotted in this study may be easily solved by reducing the porosity ratio of the EVA foam and slightly decreasing the glass transition temperature of the foam.
Genetic Architecture of Domestication-Related Traits in Maize
Authors: Xue Shang , Bradbury Peter J , Casstevens Terry , Holland James B 
Published: July 2016

AbstractStrong directional selection occurred during the domestication of maize from its wild ancestor teosinte, reducing its genetic diversity, particularly at genes controlling domestication-related traits. Nevertheless, variability for some domestication-related traits is maintained in maize. The genetic basis of this could be sequence variation at the same key genes controlling maize–teosinte differentiation (due to lack of fixation or arising as new mutations after domestication), distinct loci with large effects, or polygenic background variation. Previous studies permit annotation of maize genome regions associated with the major differences between maize and teosinte or that exhibit population genetic signals of selection during either domestication or postdomestication improvement. Genome-wide association studies and genetic variance partitioning analyses were performed in two diverse maize inbred line panels to compare the phenotypic effects and variances of sequence polymorphisms in regions involved in domestication and improvement to the rest of the genome. Additive polygenic models explained most of the genotypic variation for domestication-related traits; no large-effect loci were detected for any trait. Most trait variance was associated with background genomic regions lacking previous evidence for involvement in domestication. Improvement sweep regions were associated with more trait variation than expected based on the proportion of the genome they represent. Selection during domestication eliminated large-effect genetic variants that would revert maize toward a teosinte type. Small-effect polygenic variants (enriched in the improvement sweep regions of the genome) are responsible for most of the standing variation for domestication-related traits in maize.

Published: July 2016

Background Tongue-lip adhesion (TLA), mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO), and subperiosteal release of the floor of the mouth (SPRFM) are the most commonly performed surgical procedures to treat severe airway obstruction in infants born with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS). Objectives To determine the rate of failure of each type of procedure, in terms of mortality and the need for tracheostomy, and to determine what proportion of infants have significant airway obstruction postoperatively as determined by polysomnography (PSG) and compare the data by procedure type. Method A comprehensive literature search (1981 through June 2015) was done of the National Library of Medicine database using PubMed. Extracted data included diagnosis, type of surgery, and outcome including mortality, need for postoperative tracheostomy and details of PSG. Persistence of significant airway obstruction was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index > 15 events/h on PSG. Results Both mortality rate and need for tracheostomy were low for all procedures. Many studies lacked sufficient detail to identify significant airway obstruction postoperatively. In studies with sufficient data, MDO was associated with the lowest percentage of significant airway obstruction postprocedure (3.6%) compared to 50% for infants who underwent TLA. Insufficient PSG data was available for patients who were treated with SPRFM. Conclusions There is a paucity of objective PSG data to definitively assess postoperative airway outcomes for PRS. MDO appears to be the most effective technique based on the available PSG data. Standardized use of PSG may lead to better identification and treatment of patients at risk for suboptimal airway outcomes postoperatively.
Chemotherapy for Endometrial Cancer in Adjuvant and Advanced Disease Settings

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Level I evidence exists for use of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage IIIC endometrial cancer (positive lymph nodes), although results of randomized trials have varied. Chemotherapy is also often recommended for high-risk subsets of stage I disease, such as serous carcinomas, although prospective trial data to validate this practice are lacking. Carboplatin plus paclitaxel is the current standard regimen, based on extrapolation of data from the metastatic setting. Several clinical trials have compared adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy alone to a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy with mixed results. One of the largest of these trials, Postoperative Radiation Therapy in Endometrial Carcinoma 3 (PORTEC-3), has completed accrual and is awaiting data maturation. Metastatic disease is not curable. For tumors of low-grade endometrioid histology with a prolonged time to recurrence, endocrine therapy with a progestin-based regimen is appropriate. Chemotherapy will be used in most other cases, and the standard first-line regimen is carboplatin and paclitaxel. Few chemotherapy agents have been shown to produce meaningful response rates in the second-line setting. Molecularly targeted therapies such as mTOR inhibitors and antiangiogenic agents including bevacizumab have been studied but their role in the armamentarium remains uncertain.
The Prevalence and Prognostic Value of Low Muscle Mass in Cancer Patients: A Review of the Literature
Authors: Rier Hánah N. , Jager Agnes , Sleijfer Stefan , Maier Andrea B. , Levin Mark-David 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In several diseases, low muscle mass has been revealed as an unfavorable prognostic factor for outcome. Whether this holds true in patients with solid malignancies as well has increasingly been explored recently. However, this research field is severely hampered by a lack of consensus on how to determine muscle mass in cancer patients and on the definition of low muscle mass. Consequently, the prevalence of low muscle mass varies widely across several studies. Nevertheless, most studies show that, in patients with solid malignancies, low muscle mass is associated with a poor outcome. In the future, more research is needed to get better insight into the best method to determine muscle mass, the exact prognostic value of low muscle mass in diverse tumor types and stages, pathophysiology of low muscle mass in patients with cancer, and ways to intervene and improve muscle mass in patients. This review addresses the current literature on the importance of muscle mass in cancer patients and the methods of muscle measurement.
