Collaborating across disciplines and the Commonwealth: Engaging students in community-based learning
Authors: Rowan Katherine E. , Smith Cynthia 
Published: August 2016

The School Environmental Action Showcase is in its fifth year at George Mason University. This event may be the largest STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) showcase in Virginia. Seven hundred youth, from kindergarten through high school, present their environmentally oriented research at Mason’s Center for the Arts in April. The Mason leader, a science professor, has coordinated with a communication faculty member to support SEAS. SEAS is funded by the 4VA Wind and Watershed partnership. It also includes faculty and students in a James Madison University course, community NGOs, dozens of regional K-12 schools, state and federal agencies, Mason admissions and sustainability offices, public officials, and student volunteers. Youth present projects such as planting radishes to improve the cleanliness of Virginia waters and designing wind turbines to increase energy production. This proposed lightning talk will share highlights, Mason students’ feedback, and lessons learned about teaming across disciplines.
Chinese national allegory goes West: Let the Bullets Fly
Authors: den Troost Kristof Van 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
This article will look closely at a Chinese western, Jiang Wen’s Rang zidan fei/Let the Bullets Fly (2010). It will argue that Jiang’s film continues the tradition of national allegory and cultural critique of 1980s Fifth Generation films, albeit in a more postmodern mode. Incidentally, these 1980s films have in Chinese film criticism also been described as xibu pian (westerns), which was understood as an indigenous type of film that told stories set in China’s hinterlands. Let the Bullets Fly makes the connection of the xibu pian to the American/spaghetti western more explicit, exploiting the allegorical potential of both genres to present Jiang Wen’s personal vision of Chinese society and history, and the role of revolution in both. By doing so, Jiang re-nationalizes the de-nationalized model of the spaghetti western. While Jiang’s adoption of the iconography, settings, character types and plots of the western ends up strengthening the allegorical power of his film and led to widespread speculation about its potentially subversive political messages, his use of the genre in the final analysis also limits the film’s politics.
Mirroring-Drifting – Lam Lin-tung and film aesthetics
Authors: Fan Victor 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
The social, political and cultural complexity of post-war Hong Kong (1945–1997) produced a highly fragmented, unsystematic, and historically transient mode of critical debate on the cinema. One film scholar, however, Lam Nin-tung (林年同 Lin Niangtong, 1944–1990), tried to systematize the debate and proposed a thoughtprovoking idea: jing you [geng jau 鏡游] or mirroring-drifting. In this article, I argue that Lam’s theory is best understood as an attempt to re-examine the relationship between the subject and the object in cinematic perception, a project motivated by a subjectival crisis embedded within the social, cultural and political complexity of the historical period.
Tony Leung Chiu-Wai: Acting sexy in Hong Kong and China
Authors: Gallagher Mark 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
To account for the complex performative and cultural phenomenon of cinematic sex appeal, this article investigates Chinese actor Tony Leung Chiu-Wai Leung as a regional and global star, focusing on attributes of his acting that convey sex appeal or have been received as sexy. Leung appears as a popular star in a regional Asian context but as a more rarefied, art-cinema performer internationally. Despite this bifurcated reputation, his sex appeal provides a powerful symbolic currency bankable in local as well as global contexts. Through attention to the elusive category of sex appeal, I identify features of Leung’s acting and stardom that inform his overall career activity.
Female protagonists and the role of smoking in Chinese and French cinema
Authors: Pugsley Peter C. , Mccann Ben 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
A number of recent Chinese and French films include frequent images of smoking by young female characters. This observation leads us to consider whether this is merely a conventional genre trope, or whether it is a broader reflection of changes in the ways that filmmakers wish to represent young women in these national cultures. We contend that smoking on-screen can be viewed as a sign of potential change towards empowerment, individualism and increased risk-taking for young women in a globalizing world. Smoking has long been glamorized by filmmakers despite clear research showing that it is a harmful and addictive activity. Its determined use as a prop for the femme fatale, for instance, plays an important and lasting role in the film noir (and neo-noir) aesthetic. We explore the role of risk-taking female protagonists in contemporary Chinese and French films, including Ang Lee’s Se, Jie/Lust, Caution (2007), Wong Kar-Wai’s 2046 (2004), Claude Miller’s Thérèse Desqueyroux (2012) and Pierre Salvadori’s Hors de Prix/Priceless (2006). Furthermore, we investigate the gendered aesthetics of on-screen ‘tobacco imagery’ as a narrative device that confirms the convention of female protagonists (including the femme fatale) as a risk taker.
Space, mobility, modernity: The figure of the prostitute in Chinese-language cinema
Authors: Lu Sheldon 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
This article is a study of the figure of the modern Chinese prostitute by examining a series of important Chinese-language films. I describe a pattern of increasing mobility on the part of the Chinese prostitute from the turn of the twentieth century to the turn of the twenty-first century. The spatial expansion of the Chinese prostitute over a long historical time span has to do with the evolving conceptions and realities of the modern Chinese nation state within a global capitalist system. I demarcate successively three times in modern Chinese history and describe the corresponding phases/faces of gender politics as embodied by the figure of the Chinese prostitute.

Published: August 2016

A captação de água subterrânea para abastecimento público está presente em 55% dos municípios brasileiros. No estado de São Paulo, aproximadamente 72% dos municípios são total ou parcialmente abastecidos por água subterrânea, atendendo a uma população de cerca de 5,5 milhões de pessoas. Nesse contexto, o Sistema Aquífero Bauru ganha relevância por ser um dos mais explorados no interior do estado. O presente trabalho apresenta a caracterização e classificação hidroquímica de quatro unidades aquíferas que compõem esse sistema aquífero em São Paulo. Os estudos foram desenvolvidos na região de ocorrência dos sedimentos cretácicos do Grupo Bauru no estado de São Paulo, com coleta de águas subterrâneas em poços estrategicamente selecionados. A seleção foi direcionada para poços com produção em um único aquífero e regionalmente distribuídos. Aos resultados obtidos foram agregrados dados de análises químicas de trabalhos anteriores, com vistas à obtenção de uma caracterização hidroquímica conjunta para o Sistema Aquífero Bauru. As águas foram classificadas predominantemente como bicarbonatadas cálcicas e sódicas, seguidas de sulfatadas cálcicas e cloretadas sódicas. As águas do Aquífero Caiuá são as menos salinas e e as do Aquífero Santo Anastácio as mais mineralizadas.

Published: August 2016

The woody vegetation in semi-arid area is important in providing ecosystem services and goods. However, it faces threats manifested in land-use changes such as mining. This study aimed at assessing the composition and diversity of woody vegetation as well as inherent soil physico-chemical parameters in a previously mined area and comparing it with a semi-pristine adjacent area.Â Six transects containing five plots each were established within two blocks separated by a river. In each plot, data was collected on woody tree growth characteristics and soil parameters. Thirteen woody species were recorded in the rehabilitated mined and twenty two in semi-pristine sites with Ficus sycomorus L Moraceae being the dominant species at the two sites. Woody vegetation diversity was higher in semi-pristine site than in the rehabilitated mined site. However, this was not significant (t-test, =D.F=1 P=0.767). Mean soil nutrients (F2, 7. = P=0.821), pH (F2, 7. =109.88, P=xxx), was higher in rehabilitated mined sites while mean soil temperature (F2, 7. =9.08, P=0.011) was higher in mined areas. Rehabilitating mined sites can bring back species diversity, composition, however what is not clear is whether ecosystem functions are restored.Â

Beware the Asset Protection Trust
Authors: Spivack Carla 
Published: August 2016

AbstractCivil law regimes in Europe have been cautiously open to the common law trust for commercial purposes, and to some forms of the private trust as well. This openness indicates that the time may be right to issue a warning to civil lawyers about the recent proliferation of highly problematic forms of the trust in the U. S., and to offer an explanation of the dysfunction which allowed these trusts to win legislative approval. Civil law may be less amenable to these forms of trust for reasons of social policy and legal philosophy as expressed in foundational legal texts. Recent changes to EU trust law and to French and Dutch tax law indicate that this may be the case. This article discusses these new trust forms and discusses some elements of civil law which, at least from a common lawyer’s perspective, offer some resistance to them.
One more factor joins the plot: Pbx1 regulates differentiation and survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons
Authors: Castro Diogo S 
Published: August 2016

Midbrain dopaminergic neurons have been the subject of intense research, because of their importance in pathologies such as Parkinson's disease. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Villaescusa et al () show the transcription factor Pbx1 is required for the differentiation and survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. Notably, Pbx1 protects from oxidative stress by inducing Nfe2l1, and the expression of both genes is reduced in dopaminergic neurons from Parkinson's patients. This is an important study, with possible implications in regenerative medicine and drug design.

Published: August 2016

ZusammenfassungZiel der retrospektiven Studie war, Häufigkeit, prognostische Faktoren und Unterschiede verschiedener Ätiologien einer Neutropenie beim Hund zu untersuchen. Material und Methoden: In die Studie wurden 391 Hunde mit einer Neutrophilenzahl < 2,78 × 109/l (Januar 2008 bis Dezember 2012) eingeschlossen und entsprechend der Ätiologie der Neutropenie sieben Diagnosegruppen zugeordnet: Nichtbakterielle Infektionserkrankung, Gewebeverbrauch, Medikamentenassoziiert, Knochenmarkerkrankung, Immunvermittelt, Physiologisch, Verschiedene. Verglichene Parameter waren Neutrophilenzahl, Vorliegen von Granulozyten mit Toxizitätsanzeichen oder Linksverschiebung, Vorstellungsgründe, Körperinnentemperatur zum Zeitpunkt der Neutropenie, Hospitalisierung und Überleben. Ergebnisse: Gewebeverbrauch (90/391, 23%) und nichtbakterielle Infektionserkrankungen (70/391, 18%) stellten die häufigsten Ursachen einer Neutropenie dar, gefolgt von medikamentenassoziierter Neutropenie (43/391, 11%) und Knochenmarkerkrankungen (32/391, 8%). Immunvermittelte und physiologische Neutropenien traten selten auf (je 16/391, 4%). Fast ein Drittel der Hunde fiel in die Diagnosegruppe Verschiedene (124/391, 32%). Die Neutrophilenzahl in den Gruppen Physiologisch und Verschiedene war höher (p < 0,01) als in den übrigen Gruppen. Hunde mit nichtbakterieller Infektionserkrankung oder immunvermittelter Neutropenie hatten niedrigere Neutrophilenzahlen als Hunde mit einem Gewebeverbrauch (p < 0,001) und wurden am häufigsten wegen gastrointestinaler Symptome (52/70, 74%) oder Fieber (11/16, 69%) vorgestellt. In der Gruppe Gewebeverbrauch waren Toxizitätsanzeichen und Linksverschiebung am häufigsten (60/90 und 25/90, 67% und 28%) und die Mortalität am höchsten (32/90, 36%). Schlussfolgerung: Vorliegen von Toxizitätsanzeichen und Linksverschiebung können auf einen Gewebeverbrauch und eine schlechtere Prognose hinweisen. Mit zunehmendem Schweregrad der Neutropenie wird eine immunvermittelte Ursache wahrscheinlicher. Klinische Relevanz: Eine Neutropenie sollte im Kontext mit Anamnese, klinischer Untersuchung und Granulozytenmorphologie beurteilt werden.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Considering the deficiency that the existing automobile accident self-rescue system requires to assemble the specific sensor, GPS and communication module, the author designed a vehicle collision or crash detection and accident self-rescue system based on the smart mobile phone groups. Taking the acceleration signals of physical moments from the smart mobile phones in the accidents car as the input samples and the assembly of acceleration data as the calculating thresholds, the system can not only improve the accuracy rating of the judgments about the accidents, but can also reduce the unusable distress signals due to the damages to individual vehicle-borne device or mobile phone in severe accidents. When the signals exceed the threshold value, the system can draw support from the functions of video, GPS positioning and 3G networking in the mobile phones automatically to call for help from the rescue center. Meanwhile, a prototype system has been implemented on Android platform. The results of the experiments indicate that the system possesses the advantages of high accuracy of collision or crash recognition, low energy consumption and low cost.</span></p>
