A lightweight convergent personal mobile service delivery approach based on phone book
Authors: Qiao Xiuquan , Xue Sida , Chen Junliang , Fensel Anna 
Published: September 2013

SUMMARYMobile phone users are demanding an efficient convergent communication approach for efficient communication and information sharing with their real life social circles. Unfortunately, the existing telecom services and the popular Internet services are not organically integrated to provide convenient convergent services. To overcome this issue, one of the promising convergent communication services considered by telecom carriers is RCS (Rich Communication Suite). However, existing issues, such as insufficient interoperability among different operators, shortage of terminals and heavy dependence on large‐scale IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) network deployment, mean that it will take time to implement RCS across worldwide networks and for it to become a service equally universal as voice and short message. Instead of a heavyweight RCS solution, in this paper, we propose a lightweight, quick deployment mobile phone book application system based on cloud computing without a fully deployed IP multimedia subsystem infrastructure, which seamlessly integrates traditional telecommunication services, instant messaging services, social networking services and automatic contact information management. Based on this, ‘Telco‐OTT’ service provision approach, telecom carriers can allow their subscribers to enjoy conveniently the rich convergent personal service experience quickly without a large initial investment. Thus, it is a low‐risk opportunity for telecom carriers to meet subscriber demand for advanced user‐centric convergent service features. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Performance fairness across multiple applications in wireless push systems
Authors: Nicopolitidis P. 
Published: September 2013

SUMMARYThis letter addresses the area of performance fairness in wireless data broadcasting. It proposes an adaptive wireless push system capable of fairly allocating performance to multiple applications receiving content from a Broadcast Server. While requiring only minimal changes at the Broadcast Server, the proposed approach provides performance fairness to clients running different applications and manages to alleviate the performance difference that typically appears in wireless push systems, when different applications access different‐sized subsets of data items, via a possibly different demand pattern.

Initial versus tangent stiffness‐based Rayleigh damping in inelastic time history seismic analyses
Authors: Jehel Pierre , Léger Pierre , Ibrahimbegovic Adnan 
Published: September 2013

SUMMARYIn the inelastic time history analyses of structures in seismic motion, part of the seismic energy that is imparted to the structure is absorbed by the inelastic structural model, and Rayleigh damping is commonly used in practice as an additional energy dissipation source. It has been acknowledged that Rayleigh damping models lack physical consistency and that, in turn, it must be carefully used to avoid encountering unintended consequences as the appearance of artificial damping. There are concerns raised by the mass proportional part of Rayleigh damping, but they are not considered in this paper. As far as the stiffness proportional part of Rayleigh damping is concerned, either the initial structural stiffness or the updated tangent stiffness can be used. The objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive comparison of these two types of Rayleigh damping models so that a practitioner (i) can objectively choose the type of Rayleigh damping model that best fits her/his needs and (ii) is provided with useful analytical tools to design Rayleigh damping model with good control on the damping ratios throughout inelastic analysis. To that end, a review of the literature dedicated to Rayleigh damping within these last two decades is first presented; then, practical tools to control the modal damping ratios throughout the time history analysis are developed; a simple example is finally used to illustrate the differences resulting from the use of either initial or tangent stiffness‐based Rayleigh damping model.

PERIODICITIES OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKETS AND THE DIRECTIONAL CHANGE POWER LAW
Authors: Giampaoli Iacopo , Ng Wing Lon , Constantinou Nick 
Published: September 2013

SUMMARYThis paper utilizes advanced methods from Fourier analysis in order to describe periodicities in financial ultrahigh frequency foreign exchange data. The Lomb–Scargle Fourier transform is used to take into account the irregularity in spacing in the time domain. It provides a natural framework for the power spectra of different inhomogeneous time‐series processes to be easily and quickly estimated. Furthermore, an event‐based approach in intrinsic time based on a power‐law relationship is employed using different event thresholds to filter the foreign exchange tick‐data. The calculated spectral density demonstrates that the price process in intrinsic time contains different periodic components for directional changes, especially in the medium–long term, implying the existence of stylized facts of ultrahigh frequency data in the frequency domain.

Some Central Ideas in the “Just Therapy” Approach
Authors: Waldegrave Charles , Tamasese Kiwi 
Published: September 2013

This paper comprises significant extracts from a plenary address on Family Therapy and Social Justice given at the Second Australia and New Zealand Family Therapy Conference, Melbourne, July 1992. It contains the language of the three cultures at the Family Centre, Maori, Samoan and English. The two writers give their perspectives, those of Samoan womanhood and Pakeha (white) manhood, as they address the development of “Just Therapy”.The paper is an unusually subjective account of historical vignettes that proved to be crucial to the original developments of therapy at the Family Centre. Through speech making, poetry, prose and song, the paper outlines the critical cultural, gender and socio‐economic contexts central to the “Just Therapy” approach. “Belonging”, “sacredness” and “liberation” have become the essential themes in this unique approach to an anti‐colonial, anti‐sexist and anti‐class therapy. To put it more positively, this paper outlines a history of struggle with issues of equity that have consistently attempted to create a therapy inclusive of women's experience, dominated cultures and low‐income families marginalised in the market.
Politics and Power in Therapy; A Discussion on the Implications of Postmodern Ideas for Therapeutic Practices
Authors: Chapman Jane 
Published: September 2013

In this paper, broad questions are posed about the impact of postmodern ideas on therapeutic practice. Therapists operating within postmodern perspectives are questioning the objectivity of theories of knowledge, and in that process are retreating from their expert positions.This paper discusses this controversial shift within the broader context of the questions of the power of therapeutic techniques and knowledge in general.
Empathy — Still at the Heart of Therapy; The Interplay of Context and Empathy
Authors: Perry Ron 
Published: September 2013

Developing skilled and delicate approaches and interventions aimed at assisting families (or systems) to solve entrenched problems has been an exciting and stimulating aspect of family therapy over its relatively short existence.Recently, more and more authors have re‐emphasised the need for respect and mutuality in dealing with clients, the need for the therapist to be aware of the clients' frames of reference and idiosyncratic solutions, some arguing that it is preferable to take less of the expert, interventionist stance. The necessity for empathy underlined in many earlier approaches to therapy is mentioned, though generally ‘in the small print’, in the reports of the processes being investigated and developed.This article re‐considers empathy, always known to be at the heart of the counselling/therapy1 process, but perhaps too easily assumed at present. It contends that empathy remains essential, that it can be understood more fully, and thereby used more effectively. Some of the traditional understandings of empathy, mostly from writings on individual therapy, are considered. Working with families and systems demands a broader understanding and different applications. The therapist must be capable of empathy with the context and the relationships as well as with individuals.While asserting that human beings are generally capable of empathy, the article examines some particular aspects of its use in therapy, particularly with families; it contends further that a fuller understanding of empathy can enrich the whole process of therapy.The article argues that empathy remains an indispensable guide to intervention with the family, the system or the person, whatever form the intervention (or non‐intervention) may take.
Family Therapy … What's in a Name?
Authors: Bird Johnella 
Published: September 2013

The name Family Therapy allows for an eclecticism of ideas and practices. This has advantages and disadvantages for clinicians. The purpose of this paper is to encourage on‐going discussion and reflection on the changing nature of therapeutic ideas and practices. The impact of commodity thinking on the evolution of ideas and practice is discussed.A process of self‐reflection is suggested in order to assist therapists to protect themselves from the influence of commodity thinking.Patricia Grace
Background summaries and future challenges: Family therapy in the age of isms
Authors: Paterson Tom 
Published: September 2013

Different styles of practice in family therapy are increasingly distinguished by reference to theory originating from such fields as literary theory, literary criticism, philosophy, politics, art, sociology, linguistics and anthropology. The knowledge base of family therapy only minimally overlaps with these fields. Given that much of this theorising is concerned with undermining hierarchy and authority, it is an irony that much of it is itself intimidating and inviting of conformity with its own prescriptions.Family therapy theorizing is very susceptible to the influence of the latest fashions in thinking, and it is often the more outrageous, shocking and provocative ideas which win attention. In this article it is argued that it is possible to accept the challenges posed by constructivist/post‐modernist thinking without having to give up valuable middle ground.
The reflecting team as a reflection of second order therapeutic ideals
Authors: Perlesz A. , Young J. , Patersorr R. , Bridge S. 
Published: September 2013

The reflecting (R.T.) team is examined within its theoretical, therapeutic and training contexts. A distinction is made between the reflecting team technique (R.T.T.) and the reflecting team process (R.T.P.), in order to explore whether or not the practice of team reflection is consistent with the requirements of the second order family therapies, the theoretical development which supported the R.T.'s emergence and subsequent popularity.The critique of the R.T.P. suggests that although this therapeutic process does represent attempts towards increasing acceptance of complexity, reduced attempts to control, collaboration, interconnectedness and contextual respect, there is little room for complacency either theoretically or practically.
Silence Therapy with Holocaust Survivors and their Families*
Authors: Lang Moshe 
Published: September 2013

Stories of family therapy with Holocaust Survivors and their families are presented. They came with symptoms or complaints that seemed unusual and at times bizarre. Although they had seen other members of the helping professions, the Holocaust had never been mentioned. Only when it was explored did their problems become comprehensible and meaningful, providing the context for alleviating or resolving their complaints.The positive aspects of survivors' silence are explored. Silence is often experienced as strength, courage, and a testimonial to those who perished.The amazing resilience of the survivors, the strength and vitality that made it possible for them to overcome their pasts and build new lives in a new country, are highlighted.
Mary Poppins as Family Therapist
Authors: Nayman Ilana 
Published: September 2013

This article takes a light‐hearted look at popular culture focusing on the 1964 film Mary Poppins. Some aspects drawn from theory underpinning family therapy and from the psychoanalytic ideas of Winnicott and Klein are applied, tongue firmly in cheek.Serious points made include the ubiquitous presence of popular culture in our lives, and the idea that Art/Popular culture may anticipate (or at least accompany) explicit formulation of scientific ideas.
The Multiple Relationships Between Neutrality And Therapeutic Influence
Authors: Furlong M. , Lipp J. 
Published: September 2013

The term ‘neutrality’ has multiple meanings within the literature and practice of family therapy. The first section of this paper identifies and discusses these uses. A second and more heuristic section developes linkages between neutrality and what is seen to possess professional authority. We believe these linkages tend to be obscure, only becoming accessible if the multiple, interlacing contexts within which therapists participate are examined. These contexts include:
the place given to neutrality in Western culture
the organisations employing therapists and how these bodies view professional neutrality, and
the expectations and experience of clients in relation to professional neutrality.
Because neutrality is so entwined with questions of professional effectiveness and power, the authors believe it is not possible to declare neutrality good or bad, possible or impossible. Rather the question should be: within what local circumstances, and in what particular senses of the term, can neutrality be effectively and ethically employed?
Trigeminal nerve injury‐induced thrombospondin‐4 up‐regulation contributes to orofacial neuropathic pain states in a rat model
Authors: Li K.‐W. , Kim D‐S. , Zaucke F. , Luo Z.D. 
Published: September 2013

AbstractBackgroundInjury to the trigeminal nerve often results in the development of chronic pain states including tactile allodynia, or hypersensitivity to light touch, in orofacial area, but its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Peripheral nerve injury has been shown to cause up‐regulation of thrombospondin‐4 (TSP4) in dorsal spinal cord that correlates with neuropathic pain development. In this study, we examined whether injury‐induced TSP4 is critical in mediating orofacial pain development in a rat model of chronic constriction injury to the infraorbital nerve.MethodsOrofacial sensitivity to mechanical stimulation was examined in a unilateral infraorbital nerve ligation rat model. The levels of TSP4 in trigeminal ganglia and associated spinal subnucleus caudalis and C1/C2 spinal cord (Vc/C2) from injured rats were examined at time points correlating with the initiation and peak orofacial hypersensitivity. TSP4 antisense and mismatch oligodeoxynucleotides were intrathecally injected into injured rats to see if antisense oligodeoxynucleotide treatment could reverse injury‐induced TSP4 up‐regulation and orofacial behavioural hypersensitivity.ResultsOur data indicated that trigeminal nerve injury induced TSP4 up‐regulation in Vc/C2 at a time point correlated with orofacial tactile allodynia. In addition, intrathecal treatment with TSP4 antisense, but not mismatch, oligodeoxynucleotides blocked both injury‐induced TSP4 up‐regulation in Vc/C2 and behavioural hypersensitivity.ConclusionsOur data support that infraorbital nerve injury leads to TSP4 up‐regulation in trigeminal spinal complex that contributes to orofacial neuropathic pain states. Blocking this pathway may provide an alternative approach in management of orofacial neuropathic pain states.
The effects of colesevelam HCl on the single‐dose pharmacokinetics of glimepiride, extended‐release glipizide, and olmesartan medoxomil

AbstractBile acid sequestrants can potentially bind to concomitant drugs. Single‐dose studies evaluated the effects of colesevelam on the pharmacokinetics of glimepiride, glipizide extended‐release (ER), and olmesartan medoxomil. Each study enrolled healthy subjects aged 18–45 years. The olmesartan medoxomil study used a randomized adaptive crossover design that initially compared olmesartan medoxomil alone versus simultaneously with colesevelam, then olmesartan medoxomil alone versus 4 hours before colesevelam. The other studies used a three‐period crossover design (test drug alone, test drug simultaneously with colesevelam, and test drug 4 hours before colesevelam). For the colesevelam coadministration periods, 3,750 mg once daily was dosed throughout the pharmacokinetic sampling period. After each single dose of test drug, serial blood samples were collected for determination of plasma drug concentrations and calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters. Administering colesevelam simultaneously with glimepiride or glipizide ER resulted in minor reductions (18% and 13%, respectively) in total exposure that were negated by staggering colesevelam dosing by 4 hours. Administering colesevelam simultaneously with olmesartan medoxomil resulted in a major reduction (39%) in olmesartan exposure that was reduced by staggering colesevelam dosing by 4 hours. This reduction in olmesartan exposure is not predicted to have a clinically significant impact on blood pressure control.
Delayed reinforcement and fixed‐ratio performance
Authors: Jarmolowicz David P. , Lattal Kennon A. 
Published: September 2013

AbstractEffects of delayed reinforcement on fixed‐ratio (FR) maintained responding of pigeons were investigated. In Experiments 1–3, the delay of reinforcement was increased across successive sessions until pigeons paused for 300 s. Both signaled and unsignaled delays were studied across different conditions. Overall response rates and run rates (timed from the first to last response of a ratio) decreased and postreinforcement pauses increased as delays increased in each experiment. As delays increased, the likelihood of pausing during a ratio run also increased. When these measures were plotted as a function of obtained delays, signaled delays had less of an effect on the above measures than did unsignaled ones. In Experiment 2, delays had a greater effect on the above measures than did a control condition arranging equivalent interreinforcer intervals to those accompanying the delays. Experiments 3 and 4 examined the generality of the effects obtained in the first two experiments. In Experiment 3, delays imposed on FR or yoked‐interval schedules had similar behavioral effects. In Experiment 4, effects similar to those found in Experiments 1–3 for 1, 10, and 20‐s delays imposed on FR 50 schedules were found when the FR requirement increased across sessions. Despite the different contingencies relating response rate and reinforcement rates on interval and ratio schedules, delays of reinforcement generally affect performance on these schedules similarly.
Polymorphisms in the HIV‐1 gp41 env gene, natural resistance to enfuvirtide (T‐20) and pol resistance among pregnant Brazilian women

Published: September 2013

AbstractThe selective pressure of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) targeting HIV‐1 pol can promote drug resistance mutations in other genomic regions, such as env. Drug resistance among women should be monitored to avoid horizontal and mother‐to‐child transmission. To describe natural resistance to T‐20 (enfuvirtide), gp41 env polymorphisms, mutations in pol and HIV‐1 subtypes, 124 pregnant women were recruited. For 98 patients, the gp41 env, protease (PR) and reverse transcriptase (RT) fragments were sequenced. The patients were ARV naïve (n = 30), taking mother‐to‐child transmission prophylaxis (n = 50), or being treated with highly active ARV therapy/HAART (n = 18). The Stanford and IAS/USA databases and other sources were used to analyze PR/RT, gp41 env resistance mutations. The HIV‐1 genetic diversity was analyzed by REGA/phylogenetic analyses. The patients' median age was 25 years (range, 16–42), 18.4% had AIDS. The frequency of natural resistance to T‐20 (N42D, L44M, and R46M‐low‐impact mutations) was 6.1% (6/98); 20.4% (20/98) had compensatory mutations in HR2. The prevalence of transmitted drug resistance in the pol was 13.3% (4/30), and the prevalence of secondary drug resistance was 33.3% (6/18). Two patients were infected with multidrug resistant/MDR viruses. The analysis of HIV‐1 subtypes (PR/RT/gp41) revealed that 61.2% (60/98) were subtype B, 12.2% (12/98) were subtype C, 4.1% (4/98) were subtype F1, and 22.4% (22/98) were possible recombinants (BF1 = 20.4%; BC = 2%). Natural resistance to T‐20 was not associated with pol resistance or previous ARV use. The high rate of secondary resistance, including MDR, indicates that the number of women that may need T‐20 salvage therapy may be higher than anticipated. J. Med.

Serology indicates cytomegalovirus infection is associated with varicella‐zoster virus reactivation
Authors: Ogunjimi Benson , Theeten Heidi , Hens Niel , Beutels Philippe 
Published: September 2013

AbstractVaricella‐zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox after which the virus remains latent in neural ganglia. Subsequent reactivation episodes occur, leading mainly to subclinical detection of VZV, but also to the clinical entity herpes zoster. These reactivations are known to occur most frequently amongst immunocompromised individuals, but the incidence of herpes zoster is also known to increase with age, supposedly as a consequence of immunosenescence. Our analysis aims to explore associations between cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and VZV reactivation by analyzing VZV‐specific antibody titers as a function of age, gender, and CMV serostatus. The analysis was repeated on measles and parvovirus B19 antibody titers. At the time of the observations, measles virus circulation was virtually eliminated, whereas parvovirus B19 circulated at lower levels than VZV. Multiple linear regression analyses, using the log‐transformed antibody titers, identified a positive association between ageing and VZV antibody titers suggesting that ageing increasingly stimulates VZV reactivation. CMV infection further amplified the positive association between ageing and the reactivation rate. A negative association between CMV infection and VZV antibody titers was found in young individuals, thereby supporting the hypothesis that CMV infection may have a negative effect on the number of B‐cells. However, no associations between CMV infection and measles or parvovirus B19 antibody titers occurred, but ageing tended to be associated with a decrease in the antibody titer against parvovirus B19. The combined results thus suggest that both CMV‐dependent and CMV‐independent immunosenescence occurs. This is supported by an in‐depth analysis of VZV, measles and parvovirus B19 antibody titers. J.
