A Review of Maternal Neonaticide: A Need for Further Research Supporting Evidence‐Based Prevention in Australia
Authors: Bortoli Lillian De , Coles Jan , Dolan Mairead 
Published: February 2013

The risk of being killed is greatest within the first 24 hours of birth. Despite this, less is known about neonaticide compared with other homicides, particularly those occurring in the Australian context. A highly publicised case of neonaticide attracting an 18‐year sentence recently provoked debate about the introduction of prevention strategies, such as ‘Safe Havens’ and baby hatches in Australia. This paper reviews the limited international literature on risk factors associated with neonaticide and provides an insight into recent developments on the introduction of Safe Haven laws in the US. Little is known about the risk factors associated with neonaticide in Australia. Given recent interest in developing policies to prevent or reduce neonaticide in Australia, there is a pressing need for more research in this area.

Factors Promoting Resilience Following Childhood Sexual Abuse: A Structured, Narrative Review of the Literature
Authors: Marriott Clare , Hamilton‐Giachritsis Catherine , Harrop Chris 
Published: February 2013

The aim of this paper was to review research investigating resilient outcomes for people with a history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and implications for practice, as well as to consider issues for clearer definitions. Fifty English language peer‐reviewed studies (1991–2010) met the inclusion criteria. The reviewed papers identified a number of factors that were repeatedly associated with individuals showing resilient outcomes to CSA. These included inner resources (e.g. coping skills, interpretation of experiences and self‐esteem), family relationships, friendships, community resources (e.g. church or school), as well as some abuse‐related factors (e.g. older age at onset). A large number of methodological concerns within these studies were also noted, including the way in which resilience, CSA and protective factors were defined. However, despite this, many papers identified similar factors that could be utilised to develop both effective prevention programmes and resilience interventions for the survivors of CSA.

There is a wealth of research investigating resilience in people who have experienced CSA.
Many papers presented similar findings. Interpersonal features were repeatedly identified; but importantly so were familial support and stability, peer friendships, appropriately timed social support, academic success, spirituality and a sense of community.
It seems likely that health promotion initiatives and social policies and programmes can improve resilient outcomes for people with a history of CSA, using both individual and systemic interventions.‘Many papers presented similar findings’
Factors Influencing the Uptake of Research Evidence in Child Welfare: A Synthesis of Findings from Australia, Canada and Ireland
Authors: Buckley Helen , Tonmyr Lil , Lewig Kerry , Jack Susan 
Published: February 2013

This paper draws on three studies conducted in Australia, Canada and Ireland which explore the factors influencing research utilisation in the child protection sector in each country. The paper recognises that research uptake is complicated by a number of factors. It also acknowledges critiques which cite the equally significant influence of ideologies, context, unpredictability, time constraints and political expediency. However, all three studies recognised the increasing importance of evidence‐based practice. The methods used in the three studies were not identical but the frameworks used were sufficiently similar to enable the classification of both common and dissimilar barriers and facilitators to research use. Those which they identified were categorised into four types: individual, organisational, environmental and characteristics relating to the nature of research material. Implications were identified for policy makers, service providers and research producers. The point was made that we now live in a period where unprecedented means of knowledge transfer and exchange provide unique opportunities to improve the lives of children and families.

Are boycott motives rationalizations?
Authors: Hoffmann Stefan 
Published: February 2013

ABSTRACTPrevious models of boycott motivation are incomplete because they only consider beliefs and attitudes. This article argues that consumers' proximity to the consequences of the critical actions of a company is the primary trigger of the desire to boycott. As consumers need to justify this desire, they search for supportive arguments. Thus, the arguments consumers give to explain why they are boycotting or not are pre‐decisional rationalizations rather than independent rational considerations. Consequently, the paper suggests that scholars need to respecify the antecedents identified in prior studies. These constructs are mediator variables of the indirect influence of proximity on boycott participation. The paper tests the assumptions on the basis of survey data gathered from 544 consumers using the example of a real boycott that was called in response to factory relocation. The model proposed was tested by means of partial least squares regression analysis. The mediation hypotheses were examined using simple and multiple mediation tests. The empirical study confirms that boycott motives are mainly rationalizations of a pre‐existing desire to boycott, which is contingent on proximity. Managerial implications and avenues for further research are proposed.Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
A linear transformation model for multivariate interval‐censored failure time data
Authors: Chen Man‐Hua , Tong Xingwei , Zhu Liang 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThis paper discusses multivariate interval‐censored failure time data observed when several correlated survival times of interest exist and only interval censoring is available for each survival time. Such data occur in many fields, for instance, studies of the development of physical symptoms or diseases in several organ systems. A marginal inference approach was used to create a linear transformation model and applied to bivariate interval‐censored data arising from a diabetic retinopathy study and an AIDS study. The results of simulation studies that were conducted to evaluate the performance of the presented approach suggest that it performs well.The Canadian Journal of Statistics41: 275–290; 2013 © 2013 Statistical Society of Canada

Published: February 2013

AbstractLow cost lime‐based waste materials have recently been used to immobilize metals in contaminated soils. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of oyster shells and eggshells as lime‐based waste materials on immobilization of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in contaminated soil, as well as their effects on metal availability to maize plants (Zea mays L.). Oyster shells and eggshells were applied to soils at 1 and 5% w/w, after which they were subject to 420 days of incubation. The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) test was employed to determine the mobility of Cd and Pb in soils. The results showed that the addition of waste materials effectively reduced the metal mobility as indicated by the decrease in the concentration of TCLP‐extractable Cd and Pb, and this was mainly due to significant increases in soil pH (from 6.74 in untreated soil to 7.85–8.13 in treated soil). A sequential extraction indicated that the addition of such alkaline wastes induced a significant decline in the concentration of Cd in the exchangeable fraction (from 23.64% in untreated soil to 1.90–3.81% in treated soil), but it increased the concentration of Cd in the carbonate fraction (from 19.59% in untreated soil to 36.66–46.36% in treated soil). In the case of Pb, the exchangeable fraction was also reduced (from 0.67% in untreated soil to 0.00–0.01% in treated soil), and the fraction of Pb bound to carbonate was slightly increased (from 16.61% in untreated soil to 16.41–18.25% in treated soil). Phytoavailability tests indicated that the metal concentrations in the shoots of maize plant were reduced by 63.39–77.29% for Cd and by 47.34–75.95% for Pb in the amended soils, with no significant differences being observed for the amendment types and the application rates. Overall, these results indicate that oyster shells and eggshells can be used as low cost lime‐based amendments for immobilizing Cd and Pb in contaminated soils.

Published: February 2013

AbstractLaizhou Bay, located in the northwest of Shandong Peninsula, has complex transitional environments between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. In the present study, a total of 122, 131, and 139 species were collected in spring, summer, and autumn 2011, respectively. Species constitutions of macrobenthos were grouped into four phyla, of which annelida were the most abundant phylum, the average biomass proportion of echinodermata was the lowest, and the proportion of important species for mollusca was the highest. The structure of the macrobenthic community showed significant differences between sites, and greater divergence was observed between the third site (S03) and other stations. The ABC plots showed that the biomass curve lay below the abundance curve, and the W‐statistic value was negative. The result of the BOPA index showed that two stations had moderate ecological status in spring and that there were two heavily polluted sites and one moderately polluted site in summer. The BIO‐ENV analyses indicated that the grain‐size fractions together with trace metals (Hg, Pb, Zn, Cu, and Cr) could be considered as the major environmental variables influencing the macrobenthic patterns. The results together demonstrated that the macrobenthic communities in Laizhou Bay were negatively affected, perhaps by the tremendous impact of heavy metals in the sediments.
Detection of slow dynamics by solid‐state NMR: Application to L‐phenylalanine hydrochloride
Authors: Li Wenbo , Mcdermott Ann E. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractNew methods for probing dynamical properties of biological macromolecules on the millisecond timescale will enable a better understanding of the structure–function relationship. In this article, three solid‐state NMR detection methods, line‐shape analysis, two‐dimensional exchange experiments, and a variant of the center‐band only detection of exchange (CODEX) experiment called R‐CODEX, are used to characterize a crystalline amino acid that serves as a model for motions in solid proteins, L‐phenylalanine hydrochloride. The millisecond ring flip motion of the aromatic ring in L‐phenylalanine hydrochloride is characterized in detail for the first time. Limitations of these experiments for processes involving submillisecond timescales are also discussed. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Concepts Magn Reson Part A 42A: 14–22, 2013.
Effects of Trastuzumab Emtansine (T‐DM1) on QT Interval and Safety of Pertuzumab Plus T‐DM1 in Patients With Previously Treated Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

Published: February 2013

AbstractTrastuzumab emtansine (T‐DM1) is an antibody‐drug conjugate in development for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)‐positive cancer. Drugs in development are generally tested for their effects on QT interval, prolongation of which is associated with the potentially fatal arrhythmia torsades de pointes. In addition, an association between left ventricular dysfunction and other HER2‐directed agents has been documented. This multicenter, phase 2 study, TDM4688g, assessed the safety and pharmacokinetic characteristics of T‐DM1 (3.6 mg/kg every 3 weeks) in patients with previously treated HER2‐positive metastatic breast cancer, and the safety of pertuzumab plus T‐DM1, an anti‐HER2 extracellular domain antibody, in patients with early disease progression on T‐DM1 alone. The primary end point was the change in QTc interval from baseline to each postbaseline time point, adjusted for heart rate using Fridericia's correction. T‐DM1 had no clinically relevant effect on QTc interval. The observed upper limit of the one‐sided 95% confidence interval was below the 10‐millisecond threshold of safety concern. The safety and efficacy of single‐agent T‐DM1 was consistent with that observed in previous studies. Pertuzumab plus T‐DM1 was generally well tolerated with no new safety signals. These results support further investigation of T‐DM1 as a single agent and with pertuzumab.
A parallel algorithm for constructing Voronoi diagrams based on point‐set adaptive grouping
Authors: Wang Jiechen , Cui Can , Rui Yikang , Cheng Liang , Pu Yingxia , Wu Wenzhou , Yuan Zhenyu 
Published: February 2013

SUMMARYThis paper presents a parallel algorithm for constructing Voronoi diagrams based on point‐set adaptive grouping. The binary tree splitting method is used to adaptively group the point set in the plane and construct sub‐Voronoi diagrams for each group. Given that the construction of Voronoi diagrams in each group consumes the majority of time and that construction within one group does not affect that in other groups, the use of a parallel algorithm is suitable. After constructing the sub‐Voronoi diagrams, we extracted the boundary points of the four sides of each sub‐group and used to construct boundary site Voronoi diagrams. Finally, the sub‐Voronoi diagrams containing each boundary point are merged with the corresponding boundary site Voronoi diagrams. This produces the desired Voronoi diagram. Experiments demonstrate the efficiency of this parallel algorithm, and its time complexity is calculated as a function of the size of the point set, the number of processors, the average number of points in each block, and the number of boundary points.

Coarse Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Nanoconfined Water
Authors: Eslami Hossein , Jaafari Bahram , Mehdipour Nargess 
Published: February 2013

AbstractA coarse‐grained (CG) model for the simulation of nanoconfined water between graphene surfaces is developed. For this purpose, mixed‐grained simulations are done, in which the two‐site water model of Riniker and van Gunsteren [S. Riniker, W. F. van Gunsteren, J. Chem. Phys. 2011, 134, 084110] is simulated between atomistically resolved graphene surfaces. In the developed pure CG model, the two interaction sites of water and a combination of eight carbon atoms in the graphene surface are grouped together to construct water and surface CG beads. The pure CG potentials are constructed by iteratively matching the radial distribution functions and the density profiles of water beads in the pore with the corresponding mixed‐grained distributions. The constructed potentials are shown to be pore‐size transferable, capable of predicting structural properties of confined water over the whole range of pore sizes, ranging from extremely narrow pores to bulk water. The model is used to simulate a number of nanoconfined systems of a variety of pore sizes at constant temperature, constant parallel component of pressure, and constant surface area of the confining surfaces. The model is shown to predict the layering of water in contact with the surfaces, and the solvation force is in complete agreement with the mixed‐grained model. It is shown that water molecules in the pore have smaller parallel diffusion coefficients compared to bulk water. Well‐organized layers beside the surfaces are shown to have lower diffusion coefficients than diffuse layers. More information on the dynamics of water in the pore is obtained by calculating the rate of water exchange between slabs parallel to the surfaces. The time scale to achieve equilibrium for this process, depending on the pore width and on the degree of layering of water beside the surfaces, is a few nanoseconds in nanometric pores.
A Report on H mode in Magnetic Pole Enhanced Inductively Coupled Nitrogen Plasmas
Authors: Jan F. , Khan A. W. , Saeed A. , Zakaullah M. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractThe properties of low pressure magnetic pole enhanced, inductively coupled nitrogen plasma were studied by using electrical probe (Langmuir probe) under the conditions of RF powers in the range of 50‐220 W and pressures of 15‐75 mTorr. The electron energy probability function (EEPF) and electron density (ne) obtained from the RF compensated Langmuir probe was compared with the theoretical results. The theoretical fits of the EEPF shows that the shapes of EEPF are evolved from generalised distribution to Maxwellian distribution function. It was also observed that at a low power (50 W) the discharge remains in inductive (H‐mode) mode for all the pressures (15‐75 mTorr). At a higher pressure and relatively low RF power, the measured EEPF show a hole near 3eV of energy. The intensities of the emission lines at 337.1nm (Second Positive System) and 391.4 nm (First Negative System) due to C3Πu → B3Πg and B2$\textstyle \sum_u^+$ → X2 $\textstyle \sum_g^+$ transitions respectively, closely follows the variation of ne with RF power and filling gas pressure. The stability of the H mode was also investigated using skin depth. Electron temperature and plasma potential indicate that the discharge at higher power (above 50 W) almost remain in H mode.

New‐old hemoglobin‐like proteins of symbiotic dinoflagellates
Authors: Rosic Nedeljka N. , Leggat William , Kaniewska Paulina , Dove Sophie , Hoegh‐Guldberg Ove 
Published: February 2013

AbstractSymbiotic dinoflagellates are unicellular photosynthetic algae that live in mutualistic symbioses with many marine organisms. Within the transcriptome of coral endosymbionts Symbiodinium sp. (type C3), we discovered the sequences of two novel and highly polymorphic hemoglobin‐like genes and proposed their 3D protein structures. At the protein level, four isoforms shared between 87 and 97% sequence identity for Hb‐1 and 78–99% for Hb‐2, whereas between Hb‐1 and Hb‐2 proteins, only 15–21% sequence homology has been preserved. Phylogenetic analyses of the dinoflagellate encoding Hb sequences have revealed a separate evolutionary origin of the discovered globin genes and indicated the possibility of horizontal gene transfer. Transcriptional regulation of the Hb‐like genes was studied in the reef‐building coral Acropora aspera exposed to elevated temperatures (6–7°C above average sea temperature) over a 24‐h period and a 72‐h period, as well as to nutrient stress. Exposure to elevated temperatures resulted in an increased Hb‐1 gene expression of 31% after 72 h only, whereas transcript abundance of the Hb‐2 gene was enhanced by up to 59% by both 1‐day and 3‐day thermal stress conditions. Nutrient stress also increased gene expression of Hb‐2 gene by 70%. Our findings describe the differential expression patterns of two novel Hb genes from symbiotic dinoflagellates and their polymorphic nature. Furthermore, the inducible nature of Hb‐2 gene by both thermal and nutrient stressors indicates a prospective role of this form of hemoglobin in the initial coral–algal responses to changes in environmental conditions. This novel hemoglobin has potential use as a stress biomarker.
NOx Regulation and Environmental Technological Change in the Glass Industry: A Case Study Based on Patent Evidence on NOx Primary Measures from the EU and USA
Authors: Triebswetter Ursula , Rave Tilman 
Published: February 2013

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the stringency of NOx regulation and environmental technological change in the EU and US glass industry. A time series of patents on NOx primary reduction measures, including oxy‐fuel technology drawn from the international patent class ‘glass melting furnaces’, serves as an indicator of technological change. A qualitative analysis based on patent data and face‐to‐face interviews with glass industry representatives revealed that NOx‐related patent registrations, particularly in Germany and the US, are closely associated with early national NOx regulations and to a more limited extent with international regulation. Quantitative analysis of patent citations as a measure of knowledge spillover between patents showed that the strong environmental knowledge of Germany and the US is not only widely used within these countries, and also in other countries where environmental regulation began at a later stage.

Methoxy‐Modified MOF‐5: A MOF‐5 Framework Prepared by a Mixed Ligand Approach
Authors: Yang Jie , Grzech Anna , Mulder Fokko M. , Dingemans Theo J. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractIn this paper, a series of MOF‐5 frameworks based on a mixed diacid composition, i.e. 2‐methoxyterephthalic acid and terephthalic acid, was synthesized by using a mixed‐ligand approach. The MOF‐5 structure remains intact when the 2‐methoxyterephthalate concentration is in the range of 0–75 mol‐%. By using this approach, the H2 uptake capacity of MOF‐5, at 77 K and 1 bar, can be improved by 10 % at a 2‐methoxyterephthalate concentration of 75 mol‐% (1.45 wt.‐% vs. 1.32 wt.‐% for MOF‐5). This improvement is due to an enhanced isosteric heat of H2 adsorption on a statistically determined number of sites.
