Can Noise Create the Size and Value Effects?
Authors: Arnott Robert D. , Hsu Jason C. , Liu Jun , Markowitz Harry 
Published: October 2014

If the price of a stock differs from its intrinsic value by a random noise, then value stocks are more likely to have negative noise; they are thus more likely undervalued and have higher expected return than justified by risk. The same intuition applies to small capitalization stocks. We formally verify and explore this intuition by using a standard noise-in-price model. This intuition is different from the Jensen’s inequality effect studied by Blume and Stambaugh [Blume ME, Stambaugh RF (1983) Biases in computed returns: An application to the size effect. J. Financial Econom. 12(3):387–404]. Our model is parsimonious: the value premium as well as size premium are computed in closed form and depend on only four parameters: mean of stock return, volatility of stock return, volatility of the price-to-dividend ratio, and noise volatility. We emphasize that only a moderate volatility of price noise is needed to generate the observed value premium. However, the model cannot generate the observed size premium.

Of Age, Sex, and Money: Insights from Corporate Officer Compensation on the Wage Inequality Between Genders
Authors: Newton David , Simutin Mikhail 
Published: October 2014

This paper shows that the gender and age of the wage setter are crucial determinants of the disparity in wages between sexes. We document our findings using a data set on compensation of corporate officers that is uniquely suited for this analysis because officer wages are set by chief executive officers (CEOs). We show that CEOs pay officers of the opposite gender less than officers of their own gender, even when controlling for job characteristics. Older and male CEOs exhibit the greatest propensity to differentiate on the basis of sex. Female officers receive smaller raises if the firm is headed by a man. Our results suggest that CEO gender and age are economically more important determinants of officer compensation than are firm stock performance, stock volatility, or return on assets.

Limit Theorems for Markovian Bandwidth-Sharing Networks with Rate Constraints
Authors: Reed Josh , Zwart Bert 
Published: October 2014

Bandwidth-sharing networks provide a natural modeling framework for describing the dynamic flow-level interaction among elastic data transfers in computer and communication systems, and can be used to develop traffic pricing/charging mechanisms. At the same time, such models are exciting from an operations research perspective because their analysis requires techniques from stochastic modeling and optimization. In this paper, we develop a framework to approximate bandwidth-sharing networks under the assumption that the number of users as well as the capacities of the system are large, and the assumption that the traffic that each user is allowed to submit is bounded above by some rate, which is standard in practice. We also assume that customers on each route in the network abandon according to exponential patience times. Under Markovian assumptions, we develop fluid and diffusion approximations, which are quite tractable: for most parameter combinations, the invariant distribution is multivariate normal, with mean and diffusion coefficients that can be computed in polynomial time as a function of the size of the network.
Utopian clothing: The Futurist and Constructivist proposals in the early 1920s
Authors: Loscialpo Flavia 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
‘Can fashion start from zero?’ is a question that, as observed by theorists, historians and curators, ultimately haunts those radical sartorial projects embodying a ‘new’ vision of the world. In the experimental overalls designed at the beginning of the twentieth century by Thayaht in Italy and Stepanova, Rodchenko and Popova in Russia, it is possible to follow and progressively unfold the aspiration to a total renovation and reorganization of life. The differences between the artistic contexts to which these artists belong – Italian Futurism and Russian Constructivism – have often induced critics to discuss their sartorial proposals separately, overlooking their points of convergence. Within this article, the overalls by Thayaht and the Russian Constructivists are instead analysed in relation to each other, as agents of change, or rather as instances of a ‘utilitarian outrage’. In examining their biographies, the article questions the newness of these creations, the rhetoric of the ‘new’ that accompanied them and their status as ‘anti-fashion’ projects. Combining material culture with cultural history, it argues that their iconoclasm and utopian potential resides precisely in their proposing a rationalization of clothing, and in ‘questioning the very fashion project itself’, in both its symbolic and tangible presence. Finally, on the basis of archival research and interviews conducted at the Thayaht-RAM Archive, Florence, the characterization of Thayaht’s tuta as a Futurist creation, which has often been taken for granted, is reconsidered and problematized further.
Before and after: The DuBarry Success Course
Authors: Leslie Catherine Amoroso 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
At any time of day or night, we can witness a ‘makeover’ segment on morning and afternoon television talk shows: programmes such as What Not to Wear (2003) or The Biggest Loser (2004); virtual salons and online makeover video games produced by cosmetic companies and networks (Mary Kay, Revlon, Lifetime, Oxygen). This article examined an important early player in the makeover game, the DuBarry Success Course, which operated on a mail-order basis beginning in 1940. What started as a beauty salon programme for debutantes was translated into a mail-order ‘course’ available for a fraction of the price. Advertisements featuring black and white photographs of clients ‘before’ and ‘after’ coupled with testimonial headlines and personal details appeared in Mademoiselle, Life, Good Housekeeping and Woman’s Day. Women who achieved remarkable weight loss participated in an ‘Achievement Award’ contest featuring an all-expenses paid trip to New York City, including a stay at the Waldorf-Astoria, theatre and night clubs. During World War II, marketing materials directly appealed to improving appearance as a patriotic duty. It is estimated that more than 100,000 became Success Course students during an eight-year period. Although the language used in DuBarry advertisements and promotions may not resonate with, or offend, contemporary audiences, the ‘style’ may have changed, but the desire for a ‘makeover’ remains.
The Joy of Pecs: Representations of masculinities in fashion brand advertising
Authors: Hancock II Joseph H. , Karaminas Vicki 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
The commercial representation of men’s bodies is part of a longer history that has been particularly intensive in the post-war years and especially in the last two decades. Popular brands Jockey, Bonds, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie & Fitch, BVD (Bradley, Voorhees and Day) Munsingwear and Aussie Bum have internationally dominated fashion media over the last century with campaigns that have incorporated cultural ideals of men’s lifestyles using unclothed images and infusing them with branding messages, in effect communicating to male consumers expectations of how they should look. Through the context of market position, fashion promotion and using various visual techniques, the male body has become a product that has been marketed and objectified, and a hyperrealized image of global cultural proportions. This article reflects the cultural approach of the market position and brand management by tracing the representation of the male body in fashion brand promotions, fashion spreads and advertisements. By analysing the male body as a discursive effect created at the intersection of consumption, advertising and visual communication, the major goal of this article is to demonstrate how advertisers construct and represent the male torso to communicate culturally sanctioned meanings about desirable bodies and idealized masculine features to consumers.

Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts opened the first American branch campus to be offered offshore in Doha, Qatar, in 1998. The challenges and opportunities were many and included language and cultural experiences and expectations. Now in its seventeenth year, the VCUQ campus is thriving and many of the early issues have been resolved.
Elsa and Edie: Plausible Conversations
Authors: Boyd Annita 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
Following in the tradition of the Vanity Fair ‘Impossible Interviews’ of the 1930s and the recent exhibition ‘Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations’, this creative work takes two real-life personages and places them together in an imagined context in conversation with each other. We do not know if Elsa Schiaparelli and Little Edie Beale ever met one another, but it is quite likely that they did, as they inhabited the same cultural and social spheres, and geographical locations at the same time in history. By directly quoting from their writings and recorded speech it is possible to construct a conversation between these two women that depicts them both reflecting upon similarities in their parallel fashion careers, personal achievements and regrets, and philosophizing upon truth, religion, men and war.
Multiplatform strategy on Italian Public Service Broadcasting: The role of Rainet and its relationship with traditional professional profiles
Authors: Zanatta Sara , Zoppeddu Milena 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
New technologies have greatly affected, among other things, the television industry and its organizational structure, which has become increasingly competitive. To keep up, Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) has needed to cope with this changing scenario in order to maintain their market relevance and their ‘social’ legitimacy. In that respect a multiplatform strategy has been one of the main responses. RAI, for instance, has developed its own multiplatform portfolio, thanks both to the Rainet subsidiary and many other professionals. The former has managed to develop the technical platform for multiplatform delivery, whereas the latter showed a proactive attitude and experimented autonomously content production on the Internet. The interaction between traditional production processes and new ones for different platforms (especially for Internet) is investigated in the article; we consider in particular the impact that RAI’s multiplatform strategy has had on the working practices of two different editorial staffs. Our case studies are the political talk show Annozero/Yearzero (2006–2011) and the long-running soap opera Un posto al sole/A Place in the Sun (1996–).
Interventions, productions and collaborations: The relationship between RAI and visual artists
Authors: Leuzzi Laura 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
On 17 May 1952, before RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana Studios began their regular broadcast from Milan, the Spatialist painter and sculptor Lucio Fontana broadcast his own experimental ‘artwork’ on Italian television, beginning a fruitful relationship between RAI and visual artists. For some, it provided careers as designers and art directors, such as the painter Mario Sasso and the Arte Povera artist Pino Pascali, while for others, who were given unique access to RAI’s television apparatus, it was an opportunity to explore their own artistic experimentations with an expensive and exclusive medium, such as Carlo Quartucci and Gianni Toti. RAI also hosted seminal artists’ performances on-screen including John Cage and Fabio Mauri. This article, based on documents and interviews collected during the Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded project REWINDItalia, discusses these and other seminal cases as well as tracing and assessing the history of this fruitful and complex exchange between RAI and visual artists.
RAI beyond national boundaries: The case of ‘Comunità Radiotelevisiva Italofona’/‘Italophone Broadcasting Community’
Authors: Carelli Paolo 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
In 1985, during a decade of many transnational television experiments in Europe, RAI launched a project in cooperation with public service broadcasters of neighbouring countries; the collaboration involved the Swiss public service (RSI) and the Yugoslavian experience of RTV Koper. This project was called ‘Comunità Radiotelevisiva Italofona’/‘Italophone Broadcasting Community’ because the aim was the promotion and development of Italian language and culture all across the world. The experience of Comunità Radiotelevisiva Italofona represents one of the clearest examples of the so-called ‘Italicity’, as defined by Bassetti – that is, the admixture between Italian culture and the foreign cultures with which it blends. The aim of this article is to retrace the history of this experience following multiple perspectives: an overview of the most significant transnational broadcasters that arose in Europe; the concept of ‘Italicity’ and the role of Italic and Italophone media in the world; the key stages and the most important changes in the history of Comunità Radiotelevisiva Italofona. Ideally, the result would be a complete overview of a project that has been primary in making Italian public service (and its international branches) and Italian culture known beyond national boundaries.

3-(Propan-2-ylidene)benzofuran-2(3H)-one, C11H10O2, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with unit cell parametersa =7.1869(3), b = 18.0636(10), c = 13.1656(7) b= 96.763(3), V =1697.28(15) , Z = 8 (Z? = 2 independent molecules, A and B, per asymmetric unit), DcÂ = 1.363 g cm-3Â and the linear absorption coefficient = 0.093 mm-1. The crystal structure determination was carried out using MoKa X-ray data measured at 120(2) K. In the final refinement cycle the data/restraints/parameter ratios were 3827/0/239, the goodness-of-fit on F2 = 1.019. Final R indices for [I>2sigma(I)] were R1 = 0.0517, wR2 = 0.1115 and R indices (all data) R1 = 0.1007, wR2 = 0.1354. The largest electron density difference peak and hole were 0.254 and -0.244 electrons sup>-3, respectively. The two independent molecules A and B have essentially identical bond lengths and angles and are highly planar, with rms deviation for all 12 non-H atoms of 0.0292 for molecule A and 0.0592 for molecule B. The two molecules in the asymmetric unit are assembled parallel to each other within 1.58(4) with each of the six atoms of benzene ring A overlapping with one of the atoms in benzene ring B at a mean distance of 3.84(3) . The closest contacts between molecules A and B are C(12A)H---O(4B) = 3.521 and C(11B)H---O(4A) = 3.441 The crystal structure is formed by infinite sheets of these assemblies all lying parallel to the (1 0`1) plane. The presence of two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit provides an opportunity to examine the molecular geometry in detail by comparison. The benzene ring in both molecules A and B exhibits distortions as a result of the presence of the furan moiety. In particular, C(1)-C(6) = 1.369(2) in molecule A and 1.367(2) in molecule B are both significantly less than the average of the other 10 C-C bonds, 1.393(2), by about 12?. Other examples of crystal structures are discussed where this effect is observed.
Ultrasensitive proteome analysis using paramagnetic bead technology

Published: October 2014

AbstractIn order to obtain a systems‐level understanding of a complex biological system, detailed proteome information is essential. Despite great progress in proteomics technologies, thorough interrogation of the proteome from quantity‐limited biological samples is hampered by inefficiencies during processing. To address these challenges, here we introduce a novel protocol using paramagnetic beads, termed Single‐Pot Solid‐Phase‐enhanced Sample Preparation (SP3). SP3 provides a rapid and unbiased means of proteomic sample preparation in a single tube that facilitates ultrasensitive analysis by outperforming existing protocols in terms of efficiency, scalability, speed, throughput, and flexibility. To illustrate these benefits, characterization of 1,000 HeLa cells and single Drosophila embryos is used to establish that SP3 provides an enhanced platform for profiling proteomes derived from sub‐microgram amounts of material. These data present a first view of developmental stage‐specific proteome dynamics in Drosophila at a single‐embryo resolution, permitting characterization of inter‐individual expression variation. Together, the findings of this work position SP3 as a superior protocol that facilitates exciting new directions in multiple areas of proteomics ranging from developmental biology to clinical applications.
Efficient sample processing for proteomics applications—Are we there yet?
Authors: Kanshin Evgeny , Thibault Pierre 
Published: October 2014

The ability to solubilize and digest protein extracts and recover peptides with high efficiency is of paramount importance in proteomics. A novel proteomic sample preparation protocol by Krijgsveld and colleagues (Hughes et al, 2014) provides significant advantages by enabling all sample processing steps to be carried out in a single tube to minimize sample losses, thereby enhancing sensitivity, throughput, and scalability of proteomics analyses.
Intervention in HCM: patient selection, procedural approach and emerging techniques in alcohol septal ablation
Authors: Cooper Robert M. , Shahzad Adeel , Stables Rodney H. 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a highly heterogeneous disease with varied patterns of hypertrophy. Basal septal hypertrophy and systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve (MV) are the key pathophysiological components to left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction in HCM. LVOT is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in patients with HCM. Percutaneous septal reduction therapy with alcohol septal ablation (ASA) can lead to a significant improvement in left ventricle haemodynamics, patient symptoms and perhaps prognosis. ASA delivers pure alcohol to an area of myocardium via septal coronary arteries; this creates damage to tissue akin to a myocardial infarction. The basal septal myocardium involved in SAM–septal contact is the target for this iatrogenic infarct. Appropriate patient selection and accurate delivery of alcohol are critical to safe and effective ASA. Securing the correct diagnosis and ensuring suitable cardiac anatomy are essential before considering ASA. Pre-procedural planning and intra-procedural imaging guidance are important to delivering precise damage to the desired area. The procedure is performed worldwide and is generally safe; the need for a pacemaker is the most prominent complication. It is successful in the majority of patients but room for improvement exists. New techniques have been proposed to perform percutaneous septal reduction. We present a review of the relevant pathophysiology, current methods and a summary of available evidence for ASA. We also provide a glimpse into emerging techniques to deliver percutaneous septal reduction therapy.
Quality of Special Education: Parent Perspective
Authors: Bethere Dina , Pavitola Linda 
Published: October 2014

Parent participation is one of the main quality indicators for education, including special education. Parent perspective can help to ensure quality improvement and reveal possible drawbacks of the education system. The study analyses 23 narratives of parents of children with SEN. The context of children educational biographies reflects parent evaluations on the quality of educational provisions, pedagogical staff competence in terms of taking care of children’s wellbeing, physical and emotional security, and promoting educational achievements. The purpose of this study is to outline parent understanding of diverse quality education dimensions and their involvement in evaluating the quality of educational provisions for SEN. The research questions put forward: •	In evaluation of which quality dimensions of educational provisions do parents of children with SEN require support. •	What is the relationship between parent expectations of quality education and existing offer. The participants of the study were recruited using a strategy of stratified sampling and a qualitative research method of narratives was selected. To analyse and interpret the findings, the quality evaluation model of educational institutions developed by Tietze (2008; 2014) was applied. The findings state that the parents recognize education as a particular value and are interested in the education of their children. They express the ability to evaluate professional competence and educational provisions, however, they lack understanding about the quality of outcomes. Educational institutions have to initiate communication and plan collaboration strategies, developing both constructive and emotionally positive contacts, in order to balance the expectations of parents with the existing situation.
Development of a Pediatric Hospitalist Curriculum to Promote Faculty Development, Teaching Excellence, and Evidence-Based Care
Authors: Bucklen Kathryn A. , Carlson Doug W. , Shah Neha , Pruitt Cassandra 
Published: October 2014

Objective:
The Pediatric Hospital Medicine Core Competencies (PHMCC), published in 2010, serve as the foundation for development of pediatric hospital medicine curricula to standardize and improve inpatient pediatric training and practice. Here the authors describe development of a PHMCC-based curriculum for faculty development, improved teaching, and evidence-based care, and as the basis for scholarly projects.

Methods:
A 2-year repeating curriculum of 51 topics based on the PHMCC was designed, presented by hospitalists for division members at weekly division conferences, and recorded for asynchronous learning. Fourteen of those topics were created for online viewing only. Topic development included use of pertinent medical research, guidelines, and local experts. Presentations followed a standardized format and were reviewed by senior division members before delivery. Attendees evaluated all presentations.

Results:
Twenty live topics were presented. All talks received ratings of 4.3 or higher (on a scale of 1 to 5) on evaluation by attendees, and 70% of presentations were reported as likely to change practice by 80% or more of attendees. Opportunities for increased mentorship were realized. The division was recognized for its work through an invitation to present topics 4 times annually at a community-wide continuing medical education program and regional pediatric meetings, and proposals have been submitted for national meetings.

Conclusions:
The PHMCC-based curriculum has led to increased opportunities for education, mentorship, and improvement in the quality of care by attendees. Other academic divisions may benefit from a curriculum to enhance professional development and standardize clinical care and teaching.
