Multicomponent cognitive-behavioral therapy for intermittent explosive disorder by videoconferencing: a case study
Authors: Osma Jorge , Crespo Elena , Castellano Cristian 
Published: April 2016

<p>Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT) for the treatment of Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) has proved to be effective, with moderate to large effect sizes both in individual and group interventions. Videoconferencing has been used effectively to treat different mental disorders but its use for IED patients is as yet unknown. The aim of this study is to provide preliminary evidence of the possibility of treating IED by videoconference. We present a case-study experiment of a Spanish male, aged 33 years, living and working in China. After the intervention, the patient’s aggressive episodes decreased dramatically, as well as his negative affect. In contrast, he showed an important increment in positive emotions and self-esteem. There were also positive changes in some personality dimensions and facets measured by NEO-PI-R, specifically in neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness. The benefits were maintained at 3-, 8- and 18-month follow-ups. These preliminary results reveal that CBT by videoconference oriented to increasing emotion regulation skills was effective when implemented in a case study of a person suffering from IED.</p>
Analyse de données textuelles informatisée : l’articulation de trois méthodologies, avantages et limites

Published: April 2016

Nous nous interrogeons sur les méthodologies à utiliser pour analyser le contenu des programmes et documents d’accompagnement publiés par le ministère de l’Éducation Nationale en France. Ce corpus textuel présente une forme particulière dans la mesure où les paragraphes de texte sont complétés de tableaux et graphismes variés. L’article présente une étude exploratoire et précise d’abord pourquoi et comment nous articulons deux méthodologies d’analyse logicielle (Alceste et Tropes) et une analyse dite « manuelle ». Les résultats obtenus indiquent des fonctions similaires et une complémentarité. Nous précisons enfin les conditions à respecter pour mener à bien ce travail, les avantages et les limites inhérentes.
Analyse de données textuelles informatisée. Comment la pensée complexe et l’approche relationnelle peuvent nourrir quelques considérations méthodologiques
Authors: Gervais Roger 
Published: April 2016

Cet article explore deux préoccupations méthodologiques liées à la méta-analyse de données textuelles : 1) le danger de la « décontextualisation » des idées comme conséquence d’une quantification des données textuelles; et 2) le principe selon lequel il importe de déterminer le cadre historique et l’origine du document avant de procéder à l’analyse. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuyons sur le traitement de 11 020 articles de périodiques parus au Canada et en France en 2005 effectué par le logiciel SPAD. Nous concluons que ce logiciel répond bien à la première préoccupation. SPAD produit des analyses de facteurs des données lexicales tout en offrant au chercheur la possibilité de retourner au texte et de vérifier le « sens » des mots. Toutefois, notre étude de cas montre aussi comment un échantillon de cette taille rend difficile la prise en considération a priori du cadre historique et de l’origine du document. Pour montrer comment il est possible de réaliser des méta-analyses en dépit de cette difficulté, nous nous référons à des principes proposés par les études relationnelles et par la systémique complexe.
La complexité aux limites de la rationalité. Proposition de définition de la structure de base de la complexité du couple actions-attitudes par la critique du principe du tiers-exclu
Authors: Martouzet Denis 
Published: April 2016

Cet article vise la définition d’une structure de base de la complexité dans le couple attitude cognitive/action par la remise en cause du principe de tiers exclu. Prenant pour point de départ la volonté humaine, il est montré que, celle-ci faisant preuve de faiblesse (akrasie aristotélicienne et objectifs que l’on se fixe relevant des effets essentiellement secondaires de Jon Elster), la personne met en oeuvre des stratégies d’autocontrainte (comme l’engagement) irrationnelles mais efficaces. Leur efficacité découle de la capacité humaine à être de mauvaise foi, au sens sartrien du terme : une mauvaise foi en toute bonne foi. La structure de cette mauvaise foi est fondée sur le résultat de la coprésence contradictoire entre croyances incompatibles et, même, leur renforcement réciproque, malgré le fait que se forcer à croire est un exemple d’effet essentiellement secondaire, soit un objectif que l’on ne peut vouloir. C’est le mécanisme de cette contradiction qui est décrit, remettant en cause ce principe du tiers exclu. Le résultat de ce mécanisme peut être pensé comme la « brique élémentaire » de la complexité humaine.

Abstract
To improve the homogeneity of the N-polar

(−c-plane) InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE), the growth of GaN and MQW on two c-plane sapphire substrates with an off-cut angle of 0.8° toward the a-plane (sub-A) and the m-plane (sub-M) was performed. The effects of the off-cut direction on the structural properties and surface morphologies of −c-plane GaN films were elucidated. It was found that the step bunching and meandering of −c-plane GaN were significantly suppressed on sub-A. The spatial homogeneity of the −c-plane InGaN/GaN MQWs along the off-cut direction was observed in the submicrometer scale using microbeam X-ray diffraction. By inhibiting the step bunching of the GaN template using sub-A, the thickness homogeneity of the MQWs on sub-A has been significantly improved in comparison with that on sub-M.

Abstract
Even though a patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) has been used for the growth of a high-quality epilayer because of its many advantages, it has not been successfully used to grow an AlN epilayer for ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on a PSS up to now. We report the growth of a high-quality AlN epilayer on a PSS, as a substrate for the manufacture of UV LEDs, by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks for the AlN epilayer grown on the PSS indicate that crystalline AlN with a wurtzite structure was grown successfully on the PSS. Furthermore, HVPE combining both in situ HVPE technology and liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) using a mixed source is proposed as a novel method for the growth of a flat AlN epilayer on a PSS.
Recharge of low‐arsenic aquifers tapped by community wells in Araihazar, Bangladesh, inferred from environmental isotopes

Published: April 2016

AbstractMore than 100,000 community wells have been installed in the 150–300 m depth range throughout Bangladesh over the past decade to provide low‐arsenic drinking water (<10 µg/L As), but little is known about how aquifers tapped by these wells are recharged. Within a 25 km2 area of Bangladesh east of Dhaka, groundwater from 65 low‐As wells in the 35–240 m depth range was sampled for tritium (3H), oxygen and hydrogen isotopes of water (18O/16O and 2H/1H), carbon isotope ratios in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC, 14C/12C and 13C/12C), noble gases, and a suite of dissolved constituents, including major cations, anions, and trace elements. At shallow depths (<90 m), 24 out of 42 wells contain detectable 3H of up to 6 TU, indicating the presence of groundwater recharged within 60 years. Radiocarbon (14C) ages in DIC range from modern to 10 kyr. In the 90–240 m depth range, however, only five wells shallower than 150 m contain detectable 3H (<0.3 TU) and 14C ages of DIC cluster around 10 kyr. The radiogenic helium (4He) content in groundwater increases linearly across the entire range of 14C ages at a rate of 2.5 × 10−12 ccSTP 4He g−1 yr−1. Within the samples from depths >90 m, systematic relationships between 18O/16O, 2H/1H, 13C/12C, and 14C/12C, and variations in noble gas temperatures, suggest that changes in monsoon intensity and vegetation cover occurred at the onset of the Holocene, when the sampled water was recharged. Thus, the deeper low‐As aquifers remain relatively isolated from the shallow, high‐As aquifer.
Time domain random walks for hydrodynamic transport in heterogeneous media
Authors: Russian Anna , Dentz Marco , Gouze Philippe 
Published: April 2016

AbstractWe derive a general formulation of the time domain random walk (TDRW) approach to model the hydrodynamic transport of inert solutes in complex geometries and heterogeneous media. We demonstrate its formal equivalence with the discretized advection‐dispersion equation and show that the TDRW is equivalent to a continuous time random walk (CTRW) characterized by space‐dependent transition times and transition probabilities. The transition times are exponentially distributed. We discuss the implementation of different concentration boundary conditions and initial conditions as well as the occurrence of numerical dispersion. Furthermore, we propose an extension of the TDRW scheme to account for mobile‐immobile multirate mass transfer. Finally, the proposed TDRW scheme is validated by comparison to analytical solutions for spatially homogeneous and heterogeneous transport scenarios.
Decoupling of mass flux and turbulent wind fluctuations in drifting snow
Authors: Paterna E. , Crivelli P. , Lehning M. 
Published: April 2016

AbstractThe wind‐driven redistribution of snow has a significant impact on the climate and mass balance of polar and mountainous regions. Locally, it shapes the snow surface, producing dunes and sastrugi. Sediment transport has been mainly represented as a function of the wind strength, and the two processes assumed to be stationary and in equilibrium. The wind flow in the atmospheric boundary layer is unsteady and turbulent, and drifting snow may never reach equilibrium. Our question is therefore: what role do turbulent eddies play in initiating and maintaining drifting snow? To investigate the interaction between drifting snow and turbulence experimentally, we conducted several wind tunnel measurements of drifting snow over naturally deposited snow covers. We observed a coupling between snow transport and turbulent flow only in a weak saltation regime. In stronger regimes it self‐organizes developing its own length scales and efficiently decoupling from the wind forcing.
Large‐scale, dynamic transformations in fuel moisture drive wildfire activity across southeastern Australia

Published: April 2016

AbstractThe occurrence of large, high‐intensity wildfires requires plant biomass, or fuel, that is sufficiently dry to burn. This poses the question, what is “sufficiently dry”? Until recently, the ability to address this question has been constrained by the spatiotemporal scale of available methods to monitor the moisture contents of both dead and live fuels. Here we take advantage of recent developments in macroscale monitoring of fuel moisture through a combination of remote sensing and climatic modeling. We show there are clear thresholds of fuel moisture content associated with the occurrence of wildfires in forests and woodlands. Furthermore, we show that transformations in fuel moisture conditions across these thresholds can occur rapidly, within a month. Both the approach presented here, and our findings, can be immediately applied and may greatly improve fire risk assessments in forests and woodlands globally.
Observational study of ionospheric irregularities and GPS scintillations associated with the 2012 tropical cyclone Tembin passing Hong Kong
Authors: Yang Zhe , Liu Zhizhao 
Published: April 2016

AbstractThis study presents the ionospheric responses observed in Hong Kong to a Typhoon, namely, Tembin, from the aspects of the occurrence of ionospheric irregularities and scintillations, using Global Positioning System (GPS) observations from a ground‐based GPS scintillation monitoring station in Hong Kong and from GPS receivers on board the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) satellites. The ionospheric irregularities and scintillations are characterized by the rate of total electron content variation index (ROTI) and the amplitude scintillation index S4, respectively. The typhoon Tembin formed over the western North Pacific during 18–30 August 2012 and approached Hong Kong during 24–27 August 2012 with the closest distance 290 km from Hong Kong at around 17 universal time (UT) on 25 August 2012. The ground‐based observations indicate that in the nighttime period of 20:00–02:00 local time (LT = UT + 8 h) on 26 August when Tembin passed closely to Hong Kong, the ionospheric irregularities and scintillations of GPS signals were observed in the south of Hong Kong, over the area of 13°N ~ 23°N in latitude and 110°E ~ 120°E in longitude. From the COSMIC observations, it shows that the number of radio occultation scintillation events peaks on 26 August 2012 during the passage of Tembin. Without the presence of strong geomagnetic or solar activity, it is suspected that gravity waves might be generated in the lower atmosphere and likely seed the formation of ionospheric plasma irregularities. This work for the first time from Hong Kong observes the sign of coupling between the lower atmosphere and ionosphere in a tropical cyclone event, combining both ground‐ and space‐based GPS observation data.
The role of lateral lithospheric strength heterogeneities in orogenic plateau growth: Insights from 3‐D thermo‐mechanical modeling
Authors: Chen Lin , Gerya Taras V. 
Published: April 2016

AbstractPreexisting lateral variations in crustal thickness and lithospheric thermal state are documented for the formation of some orogenic plateaux. Here we use high‐resolution 3‐D thermo‐mechanical simulations to investigate the influence of preexisting lateral lithospheric strength heterogeneity on the growth of orogenic plateau. The modeling results illustrate an episodic scenario for plateau growth: (1) an early rapid growth stage, characterized by rapid surface uplift and intensive crustal buckling and thickening; (2) an outward spreading stage, characterized by significant lateral expansion of the plateau edges; and (3) a mature stage, characterized by the development of the intracrustal partial melting and subduction of the surrounding lithosphere under the plateau. Sensitivity analyses indicate that lateral variation in crustal thickness favors outward spreading of orogenic plateau, while lateral variation in geothermal gradient favors crustal buckling. The model in absence of lateral strength heterogeneity leads to progressive migration of orogenic belt. Our models show that the plateau's lower crust is largely coupled with underlying lithospheric mantle and does not flow into the surrounding lithospheres, casting doubt on the lower crust flow model. We suggest that the Himalayan‐Tibetan orogenic system can be best understood within the framework that the proto‐southern Asian margin was fairly weak prior to the India‐Asia collision to steer the formation of a large hot orogenic plateau there.
Partitioning of oblique convergence in the Northern Andes subduction zone: Migration history and the present‐day boundary of the North Andean Sliver in Ecuador

Published: April 2016

AbstractAlong the Ecuadorian margin, oblique subduction induces deformation of the overriding continental plate. For the last 15 Ma, both exhumation and tectonic history of Ecuador suggest that the northeastward motion of the North Andean Sliver (NAS) was accompanied by an eastward migration of its eastern boundary and successive progressively narrowing restraining bends. Here we present geologic data, earthquake epicenters, focal mechanisms, GPS results, and a revised active fault map consistent with this new kinematic model. All data sets concur to demonstrate that active continental deformation is presently localized along a single major fault system, connecting fault segments from the Gulf of Guayaquil to the eastern Andean Cordillera. Although secondary faults are recognized within the Cordillera, they accommodate a negligible fraction of relative motion compared to the main fault system. The eastern limit is then concentrated rather than distributed as first proposed, marking a sharp boundary between the NAS, the Inca sliver, and the Subandean domain overthrusting the South American craton. The NAS limit follows a northeast striking right‐lateral transpressional strike‐slip system from the Gulf of Guayaquil (Isla Puná) to the Andean Cordillera and with the north‐south striking transpressive faults along the eastern Andes. Eastward migration of the restraining belt since the Pliocene, abandonment of the sutures and reactivation of north‐south striking ancient fault zones lead to the final development of a major tectonic boundary south and east of the NAS, favoring its extrusion as a continental sliver, accommodating the oblique convergence of the Nazca oceanic plate toward South America.

ABSTRACTThe most striking characteristic of CHO cells is their adaptability, which enables efficient production of proteins as well as growth under a variety of culture conditions, but also results in genomic and phenotypic instability. To investigate the relative contribution of genomic and epigenetic modifications towards phenotype evolution, comprehensive genome and epigenome data are presented for six related CHO cell lines, both in response to perturbations (different culture conditions and media as well as selection of a specific phenotype with increased transient productivity) and in steady state (prolonged time in culture under constant conditions). Clear transitions were observed in DNA‐methylation patterns upon each perturbation, while few changes occurred over time under constant conditions. Only minor DNA‐methylation changes were observed between exponential and stationary growth phase; however, throughout a batch culture the histone modification pattern underwent continuous adaptation. Variation in genome sequence between the six cell lines on the level of SNPs, InDels, and structural variants is high, both upon perturbation and under constant conditions over time. The here presented comprehensive resource may open the door to improved control and manipulation of gene expression during industrial bioprocesses based on epigenetic mechanisms. Biotechnol.

A novel method for automated human behavior segmentation
Authors: Weiwei Xing , Weiqiang Wang , Peng Bao , Liya Sun , Leiming Tong 
Published: April 2016

AbstractIn order to conveniently classify, retrieve, and synthesize human motion, motion capture (MoCap) data need to be properly segmented into distinct behaviors. In this paper, we propose a novel automated segmentation method based on posture histograms in sliding window. Firstly, a set of new posture features are proposed and defined to construct the posture histogram, which is a new compact representation of behavioral features. Then, by executing the sliding window, especially in this paper, the behavior features are analyzed in subsequence level to reduce noise sensitivity. We open up a novel way to tune sliding window by studying steady states of human behaviors, so that conspicuous and stable behavioral features can be obtained. Finally, by analyzing the clustering property of posture histograms of the subsequences, the behavior segmentation problem is tactfully simplified to the detection of outlier subsequence. In particular, the local outlier factor algorithm is adopted to solve outlier subsequence detection, and good results are achieved. Extensive experiments are conducted on 14 pieces of multi‐bcase, and the experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms other state‐of‐the‐art ones.

A path browser for exploratory motion assembly
Authors: Lee Kang Hoon , Choi Myung Geol 
Published: April 2016

AbstractWe present an interactive method for creating animation sequences of characters based on captured motion data in an exploratory way as in assembling construction toys. The key component of our method is a path browser that can retrieve and visualize paths as diverse as possible connecting a given pair of initial and final motion fragments instantiated in the space. With the aid of our path browser, the user can develop large‐scale assembly of motions gradually through iterations of arranging and putting together motion fragments. For the efficient retrieval of connecting paths, we use a bidirectional search tree that grows from the initial and final configurations simultaneously under the guidance of a mixed strategy for both global exploration and local optimization. The usefulness of our approach is demonstrated through experiments with a variety of motion data including box moving, basketball, and breakdance data. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Physical‐based spatio‐temporal resolution enhancement of scalar data for fluid visualization
Authors: Cui Liqun , Ma Chunyong , Chen Ge 
Published: April 2016

AbstractWe present a method that improves the spatio‐temporal resolution of original data with fluid scalar data. The basis of the method, velocity estimation, is constructed to be inverse and optimized problem. We reduce the calculation cost through convex optimization and make the velocity field more accurate by coupling with Navier–Stokes equations. The spatial resolution receives significant enhancement by applying advection on original data with higher‐resolution velocity field data generated by our method. The temporal resolution is improved by generating intermediate velocity fields through the solution of Navier–Stokes equations. In this paper, we demonstrate that the accuracy of our velocity estimation method is clearly better than that of optical flow methods and the enhanced data show an attractive performance in fluid visualization.
