Worried, concerned and untroubled: antecedents and consequences of youth worry
Authors: O'Neal Catherine Walker , Mallette Jacquelyn K. , Lanier Audrey Rebeccca , Mancini Jay A. , Huebner Angela J. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractUsing a pattern‐based approach, worry was explored in relation to military youths' developmental and contextual characteristics, and pivotal outcomes (depressive symptoms, self‐efficacy, well‐being, coping styles, academic performance and deployment adjustment). Data were collected from parents and adolescents, age 11 to 18, living in the USA (n = 273 families). Variations in individual characteristics (age and gender), military family factors (rank, recent deployment, parents' resilient coping abilities) and family relational characteristics (parents' marital status, warm parenting, marital quality) were related to heterogeneous worry typologies. Depressive symptoms, self‐efficacy and well‐being, varied across the worry typologies. Implications are drawn from these findings for identifying potential interventions that can be accessed to modify these worry patterns and limit their harmful effects.
SmartCanvas: Context‐inferred Interpretation of Sketches for Preparatory Design Studies
Authors: Zheng Youyi , Liu Han , Dorsey Julie , Mitra Niloy J. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractIn early or preparatory design stages, an architect or designer sketches out rough ideas, not only about the object or structure being considered, but its relation to its spatial context. This is an iterative process, where the sketches are not only the primary means for testing and refining ideas, but also for communicating among a design team and to clients. Hence, sketching is the preferred media for artists and designers during the early stages of design, albeit with a major drawback: sketches are 2D and effects such as view perturbations or object movement are not supported, thereby inhibiting the design process. We present an interactive system that allows for the creation of a 3D abstraction of a designed space, built primarily by sketching in 2D within the context of an anchoring design or photograph. The system is progressive in the sense that the interpretations are refined as the user continues sketching. As a key technical enabler, we reformulate the sketch interpretation process as a selection optimization from a set of context‐generated canvas planes in order to retrieve a regular arrangement of planes. We demonstrate our system (available at http:/geometry.cs.ucl.ac.uk/projects/2016/smartcanvas/) with a wide range of sketches and design studies.
Geometric Flows of Curves in Shape Space for Processing Motion of Deformable Objects
Authors: Brandt Christopher , von Tycowicz Christoph , Hildebrandt Klaus 
Published: May 2016

AbstractWe introduce techniques for the processing of motion and animations of non‐rigid shapes. The idea is to regard animations of deformable objects as curves in shape space. Then, we use the geometric structure on shape space to transfer concepts from curve processing in ℝn to the processing of motion of non‐rigid shapes. Following this principle, we introduce a discrete geometric flow for curves in shape space. The flow iteratively replaces every shape with a weighted average shape of a local neighborhood and thereby globally decreases an energy whose minimizers are discrete geodesics in shape space. Based on the flow, we devise a novel smoothing filter for motions and animations of deformable shapes. By shortening the length in shape space of an animation, it systematically regularizes the deformations between consecutive frames of the animation. The scheme can be used for smoothing and noise removal, e.g., for reducing jittering artifacts in motion capture data. We introduce a reduced‐order method for the computation of the flow. In addition to being efficient for the smoothing of curves, it is a novel scheme for computing geodesics in shape space. We use the scheme to construct non‐linear “Bézier curves” by executing de Casteljau's algorithm in shape space.

Published: May 2016

AbstractDirection fields and vector fields play an increasingly important role in computer graphics and geometry processing. The synthesis of directional fields on surfaces, or other spatial domains, is a fundamental step in numerous applications, such as mesh generation, deformation, texture mapping, and many more. The wide range of applications resulted in definitions for many types of directional fields: from vector and tensor fields, over line and cross fields, to frame and vector‐set fields. Depending on the application at hand, researchers have used various notions of objectives and constraints to synthesize such fields. These notions are defined in terms of fairness, feature alignment, symmetry, or field topology, to mention just a few. To facilitate these objectives, various representations, discretizations, and optimization strategies have been developed. These choices come with varying strengths and weaknesses. This report provides a systematic overview of directional field synthesis for graphics applications, the challenges it poses, and the methods developed in recent years to address these challenges.
The costs of avoiding environmental impacts from shale‐gas surface infrastructure
Authors: Milt Austin W. , Gagnolet Tamara D. , Armsworth Paul R. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractGrowing energy demand has increased the need to manage conflicts between energy production and the environment. As an example, shale‐gas extraction requires substantial surface infrastructure, which fragments habitats, erodes soils, degrades freshwater systems, and displaces rare species. Strategic planning of shale‐gas infrastructure can reduce trade‐offs between economic and environmental objectives, but the specific nature of these trade‐offs is not known. We estimated the cost of avoiding impacts from land‐use change on forests, wetlands, rare species, and streams from shale‐energy development within leaseholds. We created software for optimally siting shale‐gas surface infrastructure to minimize its environmental impacts at reasonable construction cost. We visually assessed sites before infrastructure optimization to test whether such inspection could be used to predict whether impacts could be avoided at the site. On average, up to 38% of aggregate environmental impacts of infrastructure could be avoided for 20% greater development costs by spatially optimizing infrastructure. However, we found trade‐offs between environmental impacts and costs among sites. In visual inspections, we often distinguished between sites that could be developed to avoid impacts at relatively low cost (29%) and those that could not (20%). Reductions in a metric of aggregate environmental impact could be largely attributed to potential displacement of rare species, sedimentation, and forest fragmentation. Planners and regulators can estimate and use heterogeneous trade‐offs among development sites to create industry‐wide improvements in environmental performance and do so at reasonable costs by, for example, leveraging low‐cost avoidance of impacts at some sites to offset others. This could require substantial effort, but the results and software we provide can facilitate the process.

Published: May 2016

AimsTo determine whether the multi‐modal web‐based rehabilitation ‘Move it to improve it’ (Mitii) is more effective than wait list control (usual care) to improve occupational performance, upper limb function, and visual perception in children with acquired brain injury (ABI).MethodFifty‐eight randomly allocated children (53% males; mean age 11y 11mo, SD 2y 6mo; Manual Abilities Classification Scale equivalent I=32, II=24, III=2; mean Full‐scale IQ 75.8, SD 16.2) received either 20 weeks of Mitii (n=29) or usual care (n=29). Mitii comprised upper limb, cognitive, visual perception, and gross motor tasks, recommended for 30 minutes per day, 6 days per week, over 20 weeks. Outcomes were the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS), Melbourne Assessment of Unilateral Upper Limb Function, Jebsen–Taylor Test of Hand Function, Test of Visual Perceptual Skills, Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA), and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. The primary comparison at 20 weeks between groups on the AMPS process and motor measures used generalized estimating equations.ResultsGroups were equivalent at baseline. Participants completed on average 17.6 hours (range 0–46h) of Mitii. There were no differences between groups on the primary outcome (AMPS process: estimated mean difference −0.1, 95% CI −0.3 to 0.2, p=0.589; and AMPS motor: estimated mean difference 0.2, 95% CI −0.1 to 0.5, p=0.192). There were no differences between groups on overall visual perception, upper limb, and occupational performance outcomes.InterpretationMitii led to negligible changes on all primary and secondary outcomes compared with usual care. This likely reflects the small dose achieved and poses questions around the acceptability and feasibility of home‐delivered Mitii in this population of children with ABI.

Published: May 2016

ObjectiveParkinson's disease (PD) is a common condition in elderly people and can adversely affect oral health (OH). However, the subjective burden of oral symptoms on the quality of life (QoL) of patients with PD is largely unknown and needs to be better understood. The objective of this study was to explore self‐assessed dental care in patients with PD, including the ability to perform oral hygiene, self‐assessed xerostomia, drooling and dysphagia problems, and the impact on OH‐related QoL.Materials and methodsA questionnaire was completed by 100 patients with PD in Germany recruited from PD support groups, and included self‐assessment of dental care, the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP‐14) score, the levodopa equivalent daily dose, the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale‐II and the leading OH‐related symptoms.ResultsParticipants experienced xerostomia (49%), drooling (70%) and dysphagia (47%) and suffered from a limited ability to perform oral hygiene (29%). The oral symptoms xerostomia, drooling and dysphagia impaired the OH‐related QoL [OHIP total score 14.6 (9.7)–16.8 (11.4) compared to 11.3 (9.9) in participants without symptoms]. In total, 91.8% of participants had their own dentist. Only 6.1% of participants with xerostomia received advice regarding management.ConclusionIn this study, patients with PD suffered from OH‐related symptoms (xerostomia, drooling, and dysphagia) that impaired their OH‐related QoL. Participants felt that they received adequate dental health care; however, dental advice regarding management of PD‐related OH problems was often lacking.
Genome Analysis of Pseudoloma neurophilia: A Microsporidian Parasite of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Published: May 2016

AbstractMicrosporidia are highly successful parasites that infect virtually all known animal lineages, including the model Danio rerio (zebrafish). The widespread use of this aquatic model for biomedical research has resulted in an unexpected increase in infections from the microsporidium Pseudoloma neurophilia, which can lead to significant physical, behavioral, and immunological modifications, resulting in nonprotocol variation during experimental procedures. Here, we seek to obtain insights into the biology of P. neurophilia by investigating its genome content, which was obtained from only 29 nanograms of DNA using the MiSeq technology and paired‐end Illumina sequencing. We found that the genome of P. neurophilia is phylogenetically and genetically related to other fish‐microsporidians, but features unique to this intracellular parasite are also found. The small 5.25‐Mb genome assembly includes 1,139 unique open‐reading frames and an unusually high number of transposable elements for such a small genome. Investigations of intragenomic diversity also provided strong indications that the mononucleate nucleus of this species is diploid. Overall, our study provides insights into the dynamics of microsporidian genomes and a solid sequence reference to be used in future studies of host–parasite interactions using the zebrafish D. rerio and P. neurophilia as a model.
Speculative Betas
Authors: HONG HARRISON , SRAER DAVID A. 
Published: May 2016

ABSTRACTThe risk and return trade‐off, the cornerstone of modern asset pricing theory, is often of the wrong sign. Our explanation is that high‐beta assets are prone to speculative overpricing. When investors disagree about the stock market's prospects, high‐beta assets are more sensitive to this aggregate disagreement, experience greater divergence of opinion about their payoffs, and are overpriced due to short‐sales constraints. When aggregate disagreement is low, the Security Market Line is upward‐sloping due to risk‐sharing. When it is high, expected returns can actually decrease with beta. We confirm our theory using a measure of disagreement about stock market earnings.

Abstract

Objectives
This work describes the bioguided fractionation of the flower's ethyl acetate fraction of Scabiosa arenaria Forssk. (Dipsacaceae).

Methods
The identification of the pure compound isolated has been studied by mono-dimensional NMR experiments. The mixture of phenolic compounds was analysed by LC–ESI-MS/MS. The antioxidant activity has been evaluated by the 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay.

Key findings
The bioguided fractionation of the flower's ethyl acetate fraction of Scabiosa arenaria led to the isolation of a pure compound: luteolin. The mixture of three phenolic compounds was identified as: 1, 4-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, apigenin 7-O-glucoside and luteolin-7-O-glucoside. Two of which are reported here for the first time in Scabiosa genus. Luteolin had the highest antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 0.02 ± 0.007 mg/ml, followed by the three phenolic compounds with an IC50 value of 0.025 ± 0.008 mg/ml.

Conclusions
The results of the present work indicate that S. arenaria flower's ethyl acetate extract could be used as natural antioxidant agents in food preservation and human health.

Published: May 2016

AbstractThe aim of this investigation was to examine, within a population‐based study of a national cohort comprising Danish survivors of allo‐SCT (n = 148), the long‐term effects of allo‐SCT in children and young adults. Physical and emotional well‐being was assessed using the Short Form 36 (SF‐36) and the HADS. Allo‐SCT‐related data were obtained from the participants' medical records. The study includes 148 patients, with an 89% response rate (n = 132). For comparison purposes, norm data from Danish (1994, n = 6000), Swedish (2006, n = 285), and British (2001, n = 1792) population samples were used. Factors negatively influencing the SF‐36 subscales included female gender; TBI; stem cells derived from PB; older age at time of questioning; and living alone. Factors significantly (p < 0.05) influencing HADS were transplantation with stem cells derived from PB and being underweight at time of questioning (median values were within normal range). Overall scores of allo‐SCT patients were similar to norm data. In conclusion, this national cohort study shows that patients treated with SCT in early life (<25) and whose survival period extended beyond 10 yr (mean) from SCT, showed similar levels of anxiety, depression, and physical and emotional well‐being to those of the normal population.
Conceptualizing and Explaining Bureauphobia: Contours, Scope, and Determinants
Authors: del Pino Eloísa , Calzada Inés , Díaz‐Pulido José M. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractSeveral studies have described a perspective among citizens that entails a negative image of public administration or civil servants that persists even after positive encounters and experiences. However, this ambivalent attitude has rarely been studied empirically. The authors refer to this attitude as “bureauphobia” and seek to enhance the existing literature through an analysis of its scope and root causes in Spain. The article analyzes two surveys conducted in 2009 and 2010, elaborating two alternative measures of bureauphobia. The results are similar regardless of the survey used and the specific operationalization of the concept: more than 20 percent of each sample exhibits a perspective that combines a negative image of public administration and satisfaction with its performance. A general attitude of distrust stands out among the variables associated with bureauphobia. Substantial regional variation is evident in the extent of the phenomenon.
Overcoming challenges in learning probability vocabulary
Authors: Groth Randall E. , Butler Jaime , Nelson Delmar 
Published: May 2016

SummaryStudents can struggle to understand and use terms that describe probabilities. Such struggles lead to difficulties comprehending classroom conversations. In this article, we describe some specific misunderstandings a group of students (ages 11–12) held in regard to vocabulary such as certain, likely and unlikely. We discuss our efforts to help the students use such terms appropriately. In particular, we show how engaging students in a game requiring the use of the terms helped them begin to develop their vocabulary more fully. We also explain how a probability ladder visual organizer helped students begin to organize their thinking about the meanings of terms relative to one another.

Встановлено, що під впливом експериментального ГРДС у щурів, незалежно від стійкості до гіпоксії, показник поглинання кисню достовірно збільшується, сатурація кисню венозної крові – знижується, порівняно з контрольною групою, причому у середньостійких до гіпоксії тварин більше зростає ППО<sub>2</sub> та меншою мірою знижується SvO<sub>2</sub>, ніж у низькостійких до гіпоксії тварин. Застосування з корегувальною метою інсуфляції киснем, субстанції “КД-234” та реамберину супроводжується зниженням ППО2 та підвищенням SvO<sub>2</sub>, проте найдієвішим засобом у тварин з ГРДС і різною стійкістю до гіпоксії виступає субстанція “КД-234”.</p>

Published: May 2016

Objectives Venous aneurysms are uncommon. They can involve both superficial and deep venous systems. We hereby present a unique case of gastrocnemius venous aneurysm developed after compressive knee trauma. Report A large venous aneurysm in the left popliteal fossa was detected by chance in a 44-year-old woman one month after a compressive trauma to the posterior surface of the knee. Magnetic resonance-imaging of the same knee had documented normal venous anatomy one year earlier. The venous aneurysm involved the medial gastrocnemius vein near its confluence in the popliteal vein and was surgically resected. Histopathology evidenced a true venous aneurysm. The patient was discharged under oral anticoagulation for three months. At one year follow-up, neither complications nor new venous aneurysm development was detected. Conclusions An accurate evaluation of the venous system is always mandatory after limb traumas which may lead to post-traumatic venous pseudo-aneurysms, as well as more rarely, true venous aneurysms in the lower extremities.
Cluster headache: When to worry? Two case reports
Authors: Bellamio Matteo , Anglani Mariagiulia , Mainardi Federico , Zanchin Giorgio , Maggioni Ferdinando 
Published: May 2016

Background The clinical criteria for cluster headache (CH) are included in Chapter 3 of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd beta edition (ICHD-III). CH may sometimes be secondary to other pathologies. Case reports We report two patients in whom the clinical features of CH initially fulfilled the ICHD-III criteria, but who later presented some radical modifications in headache natural history as a result of a secondary pathology. The first case of CH was secondary to a pontine cavernous angioma and the second to a cerebral venous thrombosis. Conclusion We highlight the importance of clinical modifications of CH that could suggest clinical investigations should be performed or repeated to exclude a secondary pathology in a previously diagnosed cluster headache. Some of the pathological mechanisms of CH and brain lesions are discussed.
