Experience of designing and implementing a care plan in the veterinary environment
Authors: Brown Charlotte 
Published: May 2014

The adoption of nursing care plans (NCP) within veterinary nursing has provided significant opportunity for movement away from the ‘traditional’ medical model, towards a more holistic approach of nursing. NCPs provide guidance for veterinary nurses to implement nursing theory and the nursing process. Current literature regarding NCPs within the veterinary environment provides evidence for their positive effect on animal care. However, published material on this subject is limited within the veterinary workplace. Unfortunately the lack of appreciation for the benefits of using NCPs within the human nursing field continues to influence the general opinion towards the use of these documents in the veterinary field. The NCP discussed in this article was initiated a week after admission of the patient, therefore allowing excellent opportunity for comparison of the nursing interventions and care to be made prior to and following the introduction of the NCP. The views and comments of all the nursing staff involved with this patient and the NCP have also been considered.
Early enteral nutrition — principles and practice
Authors: Firth Ava 
Published: May 2014

This article has three major objectives: to review briefly the physiology and metabolism of the small intestinal mucosa; to summarise the evidence and recommendations regarding early enteral nutrition; and to discuss how to implement early enteral nutrition in small animal veterinary practice. The gastrointestinal tract has a high metabolic rate and is composed mostly of cells that have a short life. Early enteral nutrition (EEN) contributes to improved gastrointestinal (GI) function, decreased GI permeability and improved patient outcomes. EEN can be delivered starting on day 1 for even critically ill patients. A transition from simple to more complex foods over time results in fewer complications.
Social networking — professional platform or professional pitfall?
Authors: Kerrigan Lynne 
Published: May 2014

Social networking sites have been increasingly in the news in recent months, with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace and Flickr some of the most popular and frequently used websites of the modern day. This article will discuss issues surrounding online social networking as while such websites can be very useful for accessing education, professional networking and dissemination of evidence-based findings, their use can be a very grey area, especially for healthcare professionals. This article is not intended to deter veterinary professionals from engaging with social media, rather to highlight the potential dangers, as the increased use of social networking sites has the potential to bring risks to the veterinary profession as has been the case with the human healthcare profession.

The dance of the live and the animated: Performance animation by Kathy Rose, Miwa Matreyek and Eva Hall
Authors: Tomlinson Lynn 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
Live performance combined with projected animation is both very new, with advances in projection mapping and motion sensors, and very old, harkening back to pre-cinematic projected séances, magic lantern shows, and to Winsor McCay’s vaudeville performances with his ‘trained’ animated dinosaur, Gertie. Three contemporary artists embrace accessible tools, like stop-motion programs and hand-drawn animation, to single-handedly create and choreograph one-woman performances populated not only with their own bodies, but also with various animated figures, forms, and designs. Kathy Rose began as an animator, and then later performed with her projections. Miwa Matreyek uses her own figure as a silhouette in her performances, and creates remarkable imagery with two projectors and a screen. Eva Hall’s Nautical Apsara combines stop-motion and digital animation and live dance. All three women project themselves as characters into their animated performances. Each employs different aesthetic approaches, but all reference magic, dream, and mythologies in their work and their imagery. They choreograph their movements to synch with their animated images. The artists play a role behind the camera, and in front of the screen, and play with the dual nature of creator/director and subject/performer. Unlike studio animation, where there have historically been few directors or lead animators, women have had a strong and influential role in independent animation. This paper investigates how these three women from the world of independent animation, by inserting their physical bodies alongside animated projections of their bodies directly into the work and onto the stage, are creating work that fits within a larger tradition of women’s kinetic bodily performance, breaking new ground. My discussion includes my own live performance with animation.
False Color and Infrared Imaging for the Identification of Pigments in Paintings

Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTIn the study of cultural heritage, most of the analytical techniques are point-specific or give information about small areas of the object. Therefore it is essential to obtain an overview of which points are suitable for these further investigations. To fulfill this, a first imaging study is the best way to proceed. Hereby, we can record the entire piece at once and observe the behavior and relation between different materials of the object. Various types of light can be used to obtain a selection of images and consequently also different information about the artifacts. Among them, infrared (IR) photography can be used as a first analysis, for instance, to reveal the pigments’ response upon interaction with IR radiation.In following we will present results obtained via IR video-photography on a selection of painted objects from the Mexican cultural heritage. These items are analyzed by False Color procedure, where colors are assigned to every grey tone of the pure IR photo. Hereby it is possible to distinguish between certain pigments on the painted surface.

AbstractIonospheric scintillation refers to amplitude and phase fluctuations in radio signals due to electron density irregularities associated to structures named ionospheric plasma bubbles. The phenomenon is more pronounced around the magnetic equator where, after sunset, plasma bubbles of varying sizes and density depletions are generated by plasma instability mechanisms. The bubble depletions are aligned along Earth's magnetic field lines, and they develop vertically upward over the magnetic equator so that their extremities extend in latitude to north and south of the dip equator. Over Brazil, developing bubbles can extend to the southern peak of the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly, where high levels of ionospheric scintillation are common. Scintillation may seriously affect satellite navigation systems, such as the Global Navigation Satellite Systems. However, its effects may be mitigated by using a predictive model derived from a collection of extended databases on scintillation and its associated variables. This work proposes the use of a classification and regression decision tree to perform a study on the correlation between the occurrence of scintillation at the magnetic equator and that at the southern peak of the equatorial anomaly. Due to limited size of the original database, a novel resampling heuristic was applied to generate new training instances from the original ones in order to improve the accuracy of the decision tree. The correlation analysis presented in this work may serve as a starting point for the eventual development of a predictive model suitable for operational use.

Published: May 2014

AbstractDie Komplexierung von zwei Äquivalenten eines cyclischen (Alkyl)(amino)carbens (CAAC) an Tetrabromdiboran führte unter nachfolgender Reduktion mit vier Äquivalenten Natriumnaphthalid zur Bildung des CAAC‐stabilisierten Diboracumulens (CAAC)2B2. Gegenüber dem bereits bekannten Komplex, der eine von cyclischen Di(amino)carbenen stabilisierte BB‐Bindung aufweist, führt das Vermögen des CAAC‐Liganden, π‐Elektronendichte aufzunehmen (B2→CAAC), zu signifikanten Unterschieden, wie etwa einer längeren BB‐ und kürzeren BC‐Bindungen. Die Analyse der Grenzorbitale lässt auf eine Verteilung der Valenzelektronen entlang der gesamten linearen C‐B‐B‐C Einheit in (CAAC)2B2 schließen, was durch natürliche Populationsanalyse und Cyclovoltammetrie weiter bestätigt wird.

AbstractThe complexation of two equivalents of a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) to tetrabromodiborane, followed by reduction with four equivalents of sodium naphthalide, led to the formation of the CAAC‐stabilized linear diboracumulene (CAAC)2B2. The capacity of the CAAC ligand to facilitate B2→CAAC donation of π‐electron density resulted in important differences between this species and a previously reported complex featuring a BB triple bond stabilized by cyclic di(amino)carbenes, including a longer BB bond and shorter BC bonds. Frontier orbital analysis indicated sharing of valence electrons across the entire linear C‐B‐B‐C unit in (CAAC)2B2, which is supported by natural population analysis and cyclic voltammetry.
Deformable polygonal agents in crowd simulation
Authors: Pitiot Thomas , Cazier David , Jund Thomas , Habibi Arash , Kraemer Pierre 
Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTTo produce impressive virtual worlds, real‐time crowd simulations require large and detailed scenes populated by agents with complex shapes and geometry. For efficiency reasons, these agents are usually approximated by point‐like representations to optimize the performances of collision avoidance and interactions between agents. This paper addresses the issue of handling deformable polygonal agents with arbitrary shapes in real time crowd simulations. The proposed multiresolution framework supports environments with arbitrary topologies and provides tools for efficient proximity queries. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The semantic space for facial communication
Authors: Castillo Susana , Wallraven Christian , Cunningham Douglas W. 
Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTWe can learn a lot about someone by watching their facial expressions and body language. Harnessing these aspects of non‐verbal communication can lend artificial communication agents greater depth and realism but requires a sound understanding of the relationship between cognition and expressive behaviour. Here, we extend traditional word‐based methodology to use actual videos and then extract the semantic/cognitive space of facial expressions. We find that depending on the specific expressions used, either a four‐dimensional or a two‐dimensional space is needed to describe the variance in the stimuli. The shape and structure of the 4D and 2D spaces are related to each other and very stable to methodological changes. The results show that there is considerable variance between how different people express the same emotion. The recovered space can well capture the full range of facial communication and is very suitable for semantic‐driven facial animation. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
A genetic algorithm approach to human motion capture data segmentation
Authors: Lv Na , Huang Yan , Feng Zhiquan , Peng Jingliang 
Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we propose a novel genetic algorithm approach to human motion capture (MoCap) data segmentation. For a given MoCap sequence, it constructs a symbolic representation through unsupervised sparse learning, detects the candidate segmenting points to the sequence, models the selection/deselection of each candidate with a gene, and employs the genetic algorithm to find the optimal solution. To the best of our knowledge, we for the first time introduce the genetic algorithm and the sparse learning technique to the problem of MoCap data segmentation, leading to excellent segmentation performance as experimentally demonstrated.

Human motion variation synthesis with multivariate Gaussian processes
Authors: Zhou Liuyang , Shang Lifeng , Shum Hubert P.H. , Leung Howard 
Published: May 2014

ABSTRACTHuman motion variation synthesis is important for crowd simulation and interactive applications to enhance synthesis quality. In this paper, we propose a novel generative probabilistic model to synthesize variations of human motion. Our key idea is to model the conditional distribution of each joint via a multivariate Gaussian process model, namely semiparametric latent factor model (SLFM). SLFM can effectively model the correlations between degrees of freedom (DOFs) of joints rather than dealing with each DOF separately as implemented in existing methods. A detailed evaluation is performed to show that the proposed approach can effectively synthesize variations of different types of motions. Motions generated by our method show a richer variation compared with existing ones. Finally, our user study shows that the synthesized motion has a similar level of naturalness to captured human motions. Our method is best applied in computer games and animations to introduce motion variations. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Design and Synthesis of Perpendicularly Connected Metal Porphyrin–Imide Dyads for Two‐Terminal Wired Single Molecular Diodes
Authors: Handayani Murni , Gohda Syun , Tanaka Daisuke , Ogawa Takuji 
Published: May 2014

AbstractFour different porphyrin–imide dyads bearing different central metals (zinc or rhodium) and different substituents on the porphyrin macrocycles (tert‐butyl or methoxy) were synthesized for single molecular diode measurements. The molecules were designed to separate the donor component (porphyrin) from the acceptor component (imide) by bonding in a perpendicular arrangement, thus enhancing the rectification properties. UV/Vis absorption spectra and density functional theory calculations showed that the design was successful and that the molecular orbitals of the dyads were the summation of the two components, with minimal interaction between them. The effect of the central metal was found to be significant, with the lowest energy absorption for the zinc dyads being attributed to the mixed state of charge transfer from porphyrin to imide and the Q band, whereas that of the rhodium dyads indicated insignificant charge‐transfer character.
Asymmetric Epoxidation of cis/trans‐β‐Methylstyrene Catalysed by Immobilised Mn(Salen) with Different Linkages: Heterogenisation of Homogeneous Asymmetric Catalysis
Authors: Zhang Haidong , Zou Yu , Wang Yi‐Meng , Shen Yu , Zheng Xuxu 
Published: May 2014

AbstractImmobilised Mn(salen) catalysts with two different linkages were studied in the asymmetric epoxidation of cis/trans‐β‐methylstyrene using NaClO as oxidant. The immobilised Mn(salen) complexes inside nanopores can lead to different catalytic behaviour compared with that of homogeneous Jacobsen catalyst. The rigidity of the linkage was found to be a key factor affecting the catalytic performance of immobilised catalysts. The immobilised catalyst with a rigid linkage exhibited comparable chemical selectivity, enantioselectivity and cis/trans ratio of product formation to that obtained with homogeneous Jacobsen catalysts. In contrast, the immobilised catalyst with a flexible linkage gave remarkably lower chemical selectivity, enantioselectivity and inverted cis/trans ratio compared with the results obtained with the homogeneous Jacobsen catalyst and the immobilised catalyst with rigid linkage. Thus, for immobilised Mn(salen) catalysts, a rigid linkage connecting active centres to the support is essential to obtain activity and enantioselectivity as high as those obtained in homogeneous systems.

Published: May 2014

AbstractThe application of an Electronic Tongue for the classification of cava samples based on their different ageing times is reported. As such, voltammetric responses were obtained from an array of six bulk‐modified graphite‐epoxy electrodes, which exhibited marked mix‐responses towards the different samples. Obtained responses were then preprocessed employing FFT and the resulting coefficients were input to a LDA model which allowed the classification of the samples according to its vintage time. Besides, a quantitative model employing ANNs was built for the prediction of the total amount of sugar present in the samples, a parameter also used to classify cava samples.
Subjective and Objective Binge Eating in Relation to Eating Disorder Symptomatology, Depressive Symptoms, and Self‐Esteem among Treatment‐Seeking Adolescents with Bulimia Nervosa

Published: May 2014

AbstractThis study investigated the importance of the distinction between objective (OBE) and subjective binge eating (SBE) among 80 treatment‐seeking adolescents with bulimia nervosa. We explored relationships among OBEs, SBEs, eating disorder (ED) symptomatology, depression, and self‐esteem using two approaches. Group comparisons showed that OBE and SBE groups did not differ on ED symptoms or self‐esteem; however, the SBE group had significantly greater depression. Examining continuous variables, OBEs (not SBEs) accounted for significant unique variance in global ED pathology, vomiting, and self‐esteem. SBEs (not OBEs) accounted for significant unique variance in restraint and depression. Both OBEs and SBEs accounted for significant unique variance in eating concern; neither accounted for unique variance in weight/shape concern, laxative use, diuretic use, or driven exercise. Loss of control, rather than amount of food, may be most important in defining binge eating. Additionally, OBEs may indicate broader ED pathology, while SBEs may indicate restrictive/depressive symptomatology. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eating Disorders Association.

Published: May 2014

AbstractMethylphenidate (MPH) is an indirect dopaminergic and noradrenergic agonist that is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and that has shown therapeutic potential in neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, dementia, and Parkinson's disease. While effects of MPH on task‐induced brain activation have been investigated, little is known about how MPH influences the resting brain. To investigate the effects of 40 mg of oral MPH on intrinsic functional connectivity, we used resting state fMRI in 54 healthy male subjects in a double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled study. Functional connectivity analysis employing ICA revealed seven resting state networks (RSN) of interest. Connectivity strength between the dorsal attention network and the thalamus was increased after MPH intake. Other RSN located in association cortex areas, such as the left and right frontoparietal networks and the executive control network, showed MPH‐induced connectivity increase to sensory‐motor and visual cortex regions and connectivity decrease to cortical and subcortical components of cortico‐striato‐thalamo‐cortical circuits (CST). RSN located in sensory‐motor cortex areas showed the opposite pattern with MPH‐induced connectivity increase to CST components and connectivity decrease to sensory‐motor and visual cortex regions. Our results provide evidence that MPH does not only alter intrinsic connectivity between brain areas involved in sustained attention, but that it also induces significant changes in the cortico‐cortical and cortico‐subcortical connectivity of many other cognitive and sensory‐motor RSN.
