Abstract
The ability to represent a population of migratory juvenile fish with PIT tags becomes difficult when the minimum tagging size is larger than the average size at which fish begin to move downstream. Tags that are smaller (e.g., 8 and 9 mm) than the commonly used 12-mm PIT tags are currently available, but their effects on survival, growth, and tag retention in small salmonid juveniles have received little study. We evaluated growth, survival, and tag retention in age-0 Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha of three size-groups: 40–49-mm fish were implanted with 8- and 9-mm tags, and 50–59-mm and 60–69-mm fish were implanted with 8-, 9-, and 12-mm tags. Survival 28 d after tagging ranged from 97.8% to 100% across all trials, providing no strong evidence for a fish-size-related tagging effect or a tag size effect. No biologically significant effects of tagging on growth in FL (mm/d) or weight (g/d) were observed. Although FL growth in tagged fish was significantly reduced for the 40–49-mm and 50–59-mm groups over the first 7 d, growth rates were not different thereafter, and all fish were similar in size by the end of the trials (day 28). Tag retention across all tests ranged from 93% to 99%. We acknowledge that actual implantation of 8- or 9-mm tags into small fish in the field will pose additional challenges (e.g., capture and handling stress) beyond those observed in our laboratory. However, we conclude that experimental use of the smaller tags for small fish in the field is supported by our findings.

Abstract
Growth performance of hatchery-reared Spotted Rose Snapper Lutjanus guttatus reared at two culture systems were studied, discussed and compared. We stocked 150 juveniles (mean, 124 g) into each of three floating cages and three onshore tanks (3 m3) supplied with seawater of similar temperature (range 23–29°C). Fish were fed twice daily with an extruded diet containing 50% crude protein and 12% crude lipid. The survival rate was above 90%. After 120 d, the mean weight at harvest was 30% greater among fish reared in cages (337 g) versus tanks (255 g). The final feed conversion (1.44 for cages and 1.48 for tanks) differed between the culture systems. Growth in weight was described by the following exponential equations: W = 132.23 e0.0079t, R2 = 0.98 for cages and W = 129.50 e0.0058t, R2 = 0.99 for tanks. The residual sum of squares analysis indicated that these curves were different. The exponents (b) of the length–weight relationship calculated for cages (3.03) versus tanks (3.00) demonstrated that cultured Spotted Rose Snapper have a higher condition factor than do their wild counterparts, and those raised in cages show better growth than do those raised in tanks.

Published: July 2015

Introduction:
Recurrent cancer is common, costly, and lethal, yet we know little about it in community-based populations. Electronic health records and tumor registries contain vast amounts of data regarding community-based patients, but usually lack recurrence status. Existing algorithms that use structured data to detect recurrence have limitations.

Methods:
We developed algorithms to detect the presence and timing of recurrence after definitive therapy for stages I–III lung and colorectal cancer using 2 data sources that contain a widely available type of structured data (claims or electronic health record encounters) linked to gold-standard recurrence status: Medicare claims linked to the Cancer Care Outcomes Research and Surveillance study, and the Cancer Research Network Virtual Data Warehouse linked to registry data. Twelve potential indicators of recurrence were used to develop separate models for each cancer in each data source. Detection models maximized area under the ROC curve (AUC); timing models minimized average absolute error. Algorithms were compared by cancer type/data source, and contrasted with an existing binary detection rule.

Results:
Detection model AUCs (>0.92) exceeded existing prediction rules. Timing models yielded absolute prediction errors that were small relative to follow-up time (<15%). Similar covariates were included in all detection and timing algorithms, though differences by cancer type and dataset challenged efforts to create 1 common algorithm for all scenarios.

Conclusions:
Valid and reliable detection of recurrence using big data is feasible. These tools will enable extensive, novel research on quality, effectiveness, and outcomes for lung and colorectal cancer patients and those who develop recurrence.
Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Biological Relatedness from Low Coverage Sequencing Data

Published: July 2015

1AbstractThe inference of biological relatedness from DNA sequence data has a wide array of applications, such as in the study of human disease, anthropology and ecology. One of the most common analytical frameworks for performing this inference is to genotype individuals for large numbers of independent genomewide markers and use population allele frequencies to infer the probability of identity-by-descent (IBD) given observed genotypes. Current implementations of this class of methods assume genotypes are known without error. However, with the advent of 2ndgeneration sequencing data there are now an increasing number of situations where the confidence attached to a particular genotype may be poor because of low coverage. Such scenarios may lead to biased estimates of the kinship coefficient,εWe describe an approach that utilizes genotype likelihoods rather than a single observed best genotype to estimateϕand demonstrate that we can accurately infer relatedness in both simulated and real 2ndgeneration sequencing data from a wide variety of human populations down to at least the third degree when coverage is as low as 2x for both individuals, while other commonly used methods such as PLINK exhibit large biases in such situations. In addition the method appears to be robust when the assumed population allele frequencies are diverged from the true frequencies for realistic levels of genetic drift. This approach has been implemented in the C++ softwarelcMLkin.
Process dynamics of managing interdisciplinary, cross-organizational learning campus in change
Authors: Rytkönen Eelis , Nenonen Suvi , Österlund Erica , Kojo Inka 
Published: July 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to characterize development processes of eight novel learning environment projects in one university campus in Finland.

Design/methodology/approach
– This study builds propositions on case study data in an attempt to characterize the distinguished cases. In total, 22 semi-structured interviews were conducted as the primary data collection method. Supporting data includes archives, seminars and workshops. The data were analyzed in ATLAS.ti.

Findings
– The cases are unique in their processes constituting socio-technical change. They represent two main process types: agile, iterative bottom-up processes and slow, linear, top-down processes. The essence of each project is in balancing in five dimensions of approach, motivation, budget, type of outcome and added value (AMB to AV) process management model: approach scaling from strategic to operational, motivation scaling from space to activity, budget scaling from fixed to seed money, type of outcome scaling from slow and standardized to quick and dirty and added value scaling from research to societal impact.

Research limitations/implications
– The cases are highly context-dependent and only provide a narrow understanding of a previously little studied area. The main contribution is in highlighting the complexity of the studied phenomenon. Future research could further the subject by, i.e. testing the created model in another context.

Practical implications
– Transformation from institutionalized learning environments toward campuses facilitating learning flows requires multiple supporting processes. The roles of the campus managers are expanded from measuring, controlling and maintaining the campuses toward identifying, empowering, supporting and enabling user communities to affect their working and learning environments.

Originality/value
– Managing campuses top-down based on large amounts of data can be supported by bottom-up approaches. This study outlines a systemic framework for supporting both types of processes.
A new logarithmic profile model and optimization design of cylindrical roller bearing
Authors: Cui Li , He Yafei 
Published: July 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to find a new logarithmic profile model of cylindrical roller bearing, which is expected to avoid edge effect and allow a straight portion on the roller considering uniform pressure distribution and easier manufacturing.

Design/methodology/approach
– A new logarithmic cylindrical roller profile model using three parameters is proposed. Contact model between roller and rings and quasi-static model of roller bearing are given to obtain contact pressure distribution and solved by multi-grid and Newton–Raphson method. Optimization of modified reference rating life model of the roller bearing is proposed by using genetic algorithms.

Findings
– Under heavy load or tilting moment conditions, modified reference rating life of cylindrical roller bearing may increase greatly by optimization of three design parameters using the new logarithmic profile model.

Originality/value
– The results of the present paper could aid in the design of logarithmic profile of cylindrical roller bearing and increase fatigue life of cylindrical roller bearing.
Inquiry into corporate brand alignment: a dialectical analysis and directions for future research
Authors: Mingione Michela 
Published: July 2015

Purpose– The purpose of the study is to inquire into and to provide an integrated framework of academics’ and practitioners’ conversations on corporate brand alignment.Design/methodology/approach– A systematic literature review (with no time restrictions) was used to identify relevant journal publications from the years 2000 to 2013. Based on the retrieved articles, the Hegelian dialectic triad of “thesis, antithesis and synthesis” was used to inquire into conventional thinking on corporate brand management (i.e. through corporate brand alignment).Findings– The final sample of 59 articles brought to light a theory of corporate brand alignment, its recent contradictions and critiques and scholars’ attempts to unify them into an integrated framework. Three main perspectives emerged, suggesting that corporate brand could be managed through aligned (i.e. thesis), separated (i.e. antithesis) or mixed approaches (i.e. synthesis).Research limitations/implications– This research considers only English peer-reviewed journal articles retrieved from the EBSCO and WOS databases.Originality/value– This work proposes a contingency approach to corporate brand management, suggesting that there is no single best way of managing a corporate brand: aligned, separated and mixed approaches can be equally successful. Despite the choice of model (which arises from the analysis of the corporate brand meanings, stakeholders and contexts), three transversal corporate brand management imperatives emerged: the delivery of the corporate brand promise, the co-construction of corporate brand meanings and the recognition of the dynamic nature of corporate brands.
Celebrity endorsement, self-brand connection and consumer-based brand equity
Authors: Dwivedi Abhishek , Johnson Lester W. , McDonald Robert E. 
Published: July 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of celebrity endorser credibility on consumer self-brand connection and endorsed brand equity. A conceptual model is developed, positioning consumer self-brand connections as a partial mediator of the effect of endorser credibility on endorsed brand equity.

Design/methodology/approach
– A cross-sectional survey of 382 consumers of sports drinks in the USA was conducted to estimate the conceptual model. Stimuli, devised on the basis of a pre-test, involved celebrity–brand pairings in the context of the US non-aseptic sports drinks industry. Structural equation modeling is used as the analytic tool.

Findings
– The research model is empirically supported. Celebrity endorsements impact endorsed brand equity via two pathways. First, a direct effect of endorser credibility on endorsed brand equity was observed, which is positively moderated by the degree of consumer-perceived endorser–brand congruence. Second, self-brand connection partly mediates the effect of endorser credibility on endorsed brand equity, supporting an indirect mechanism of brand equity enhancement.

Practical implications
– Managers can now consider using celebrities as tools to develop meaningful self-concept-related connections with consumers. Additionally, the results of this study support for the use of celebrity endorsers as direct brand equity-enhancing tools.

Originality/value
– This study is among pioneering investigations that examine the self-concept repercussions of celebrity endorsements, suggesting that celebrity endorsers possess the ability to engage with consumers at the self-concept level, in turn, impacting endorsed brand equity. Additionally, this paper examines the direct and indirect mechanisms by which celebrities influence consumer-based brand equity of the endorsed brand.
Communicating product size using sound and shape symbolism
Authors: Baxter Stacey M , Ilicic Jasmina , Kulczynski Alicia , Lowrey Tina 
Published: July 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to investigate children’s perception of a product’s physical attribute (size) when presented with brand elements (brand name and brand logo) manipulated using sound and shape symbolism principles (brand name sounds and brand logo shape), across children of different developmental ages.

Design/methodology/approach
– The relationship between sounds and shapes was examined in a pilot study. A 2 × 2 experiment was then undertaken to examine the effect of brand name characteristics (front vowel sound versus back vowel sound) and brand logo design (angular versus curved) on children’s (from 5 to 12 years) product-related judgments.

Findings
– Older children use non-semantic brand stimuli as a means to infer physical product attributes. Specifically, only older children are able to perceive a product to be smaller (larger) when the product is paired with a brand name containing a front (back) vowel sound or an angular (curved) brand logo (single symbolic cue). We illustrate that brand logo-related shape symbolism effects are weaker and appear later in age when compared with brand name-related sound symbolism effects. Further, younger children are able to infer product attribute meaning when exposed to two symbolic cues (that is, brand name and brand logo).

Practical implications
– When selecting an inventive brand element, consideration should be given to the relationship between the vowel sounds contained in a brand’s name and product attributes, and also the shape of the brand’s logo and product attributes.

Originality/value
– This is the first experiment undertaken to examine the combination of brand name- and brand logo-related symbolism effects in the context of children. We demonstrate that age-based bounds may be overcome through the provision of multiple symbolic cues.
Boys’ responses to the integration of advertising and entertaining content
Authors: van Reijmersdal Eva A. , Rozendaal Esther , Buijzen Moniek 
Published: July 2015

Purpose
– The purposes of this paper are to investigate the effects of integrated advertising formats on the persuasion of children, children’s awareness of the persuasive intent of these formats and how this awareness mediates the level of persuasion.

Design/methodology/approach
– An one-factor between-subjects experiment was conducted among 117 boys from 8 to 12 years old.

Findings
– This study showed that boys were more aware of the persuasive intent of a non-integrated catalog than of a brand-integrated magazine. In addition, higher awareness of the persuasive intent of the catalog enhanced persuasion in boys.

Research limitations/implications
– This study only focused on boys’ responses and not on girls.

Practical implications
– Findings imply that advertisers could focus on non-integrated print advertising formats, such as catalogs, to promote positive product attitudes among boys. Catalogs are also a more ethical way of communicating to boys because boys are generally aware of catalogs’ persuasive intent.

Social implications
– This study implies that even if children have sufficient persuasion knowledge, they do not necessarily use it to critically evaluate advertising.

Originality/value
– This paper is the first to systematically test the differences in effects of brand-integrated magazines versus catalogs targeted toward children. Importantly, it shows that persuasion knowledge plays a fundamentally different role in the persuasion process of children than of adults: awareness of the persuasive intent of catalogs increases persuasion among boys, whereas previous studies among adults showed opposite results.
Weber‐Christian disease presenting with lung nodules dramatically improved with corticosteroid therapy: one case report and literature review
Authors: Wang Yu , Zhao Juan , Ji Lan lan , Zhang Shuang , Zhang Zhuoli 
Published: July 2015

AbstractWeber–Christian disease (WCD) is a chronic recurrent organ disease characterized by the formation of painful dense nodes in subcutaneous fat tissues, free from suppuration and accompanied by episodic temperature changes, chills and muscular pain. Sometimes it can involve the visceral organs. WCD often relapses during irregular intervals. It is a rare autoimmune inflammatory disorder of subcutaneous adipose tissue. However, lung involvement in WCD is rare. Here we report a man presenting with lung nodules. He was diagnosed as having WCD and successfully treated by corticosteroid and immonosuppressive agents. A 53‐year‐old male presented with a 2.5‐year history of painful subcutaneous nodules on his trunk and limbs, accompanied by fever, night sweats, fatigue and malaise. A skin biopsy showed fat degeneration with foamy cells and infiltration of mononuclear cells. He was diagnosed as panniculitis and effectively treated by corticosteroid therapy at first. However, symptoms relapsed when the dosage of corticosteroid was tapered, and multiple lung nodules were found with the symptom of dyspnea in chest computed tomography scan during the follow‐up period. Histological examination of the biopsy specimens from the lung was compatible with panniculitis change in the subcutanous nodule. Combination therapy of corticosteroid with cyclophosphamide was effective during the following 27 months.
Flagellin‐dependent TLR5/caveolin‐1 as a promising immune activator in immunosenescence
Authors: Lim Jae Sung , Nguyen Kim Cuc Thi , Nguyen Chung Truong , Jang Ik‐Soon , Han Jung Min , Fabian Claire , Lee Shee Eun , Rhee Joon Haeng , Cho Kyung A 
Published: July 2015

SummaryThe age‐associated decline of immune responses causes high susceptibility to infections and reduced vaccine efficacy in the elderly. However, the mechanisms underlying age‐related deficits are unclear. Here, we found that the expression and signaling of flagellin (FlaB)‐dependent Toll‐like receptor 5 (TLR5), unlike the other TLRs, were well maintained in old macrophages, similar to young macrophages. The expression and activation of TLR5/MyD88, but not TLR4, were sensitively regulated by the upregulation of caveolin‐1 in old macrophages through direct interaction. This interaction was also confirmed using macrophages from caveolin‐1 or MyD88 knockout mice. Because TLR5 and caveolin‐1 were well expressed in major old tissues including lung, skin, intestine, and spleen, we analyzed in vivo immune responses via a vaccine platform with FlaB as a mucosal adjuvant for the pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) against Streptococcus pneumoniae infection in young and aged mice. The FlaB‐PspA fusion protein induced a significantly higher level of PspA‐specific IgG and IgA responses and demonstrated a high protective efficacy against a lethal challenge with live S. pneumoniae in aged mice. These results suggest that caveolin‐1/TLR5 signaling plays a key role in age‐associated innate immune responses and that FlaB‐PspA stimulation of TLR5 may be a new strategy for a mucosal vaccine adjuvant against pneumococcal infection in the elderly.
