Stochastic Forecasting of Life Expectancies Considering Multi-Maintenance Criteria and Localized Uncertainties in the Pavement-Deterioration Process
Authors: Han Daeseok , Lee Sang Hyuk 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
Understanding the deterioration characteristics of highway pavements is an essential factor for developing better maintenance strategies, as well as estimating mid- to long-term budget demands. In general, estimation results regarding life expectancy have often been represented with a constant in deterministic manners. However, in reality, these results do not correspond with real life spans because of the severe uncertainties in the pavement-deterioration process and various maintenance criteria. For these reasons, in this paper, the real life expectancy was assessed in a stochastic manner with the Bayesian Markov hazard model, which is suitable for estimating localized uncertainties in the progress of deterioration based on various deterioration indices. On the basis of this model, we have developed a new methodology that can determine the joint distribution of total maintenance demands by aggregating multiple deterioration processes using the concept of “safety-hazard zones.” In addition, we developed a method for disaggregating the joint distribution by maintenance types to mitigate the conventional problems associated with the probabilistic budget estimation approach. For our empirical study, we used data from the Korean national highways from 2007 to 2011 concerning pavement conditions, including crack, rut depth, and international roughness index (IRI). The results of this study are meaningful in that they establish the ideal conditions required for the Bayesian Markov hazard model to forecast the deterioration of pavement, allowing the incorporation of a practical viewpoint into an academic approach under the concept of asset management.
Durability of Building and Construction Sealants and Adhesives: 5th Volume
Authors: Carbary Larry , Wolf Andreas T. 
Published: October 2014

Description
These 17 papers were presented on June 25 and 26, 2014 at the Sheraton Hotel in Toronto Canada after the regular ASTM C24 meeting. The theme of this symposium was largely inspired by a comment made by a member: “Who cares about durability?”
The volume of construction sealants compared to the volume of common construction materials on a major project is extremely small, however the building does not perform properly without sealants.
Thus, the short answer to aforementioned question is: everyone should care. The durability of a building is directly related to that building’s sealants.
ASTM C24 has global influence on standards for building sealants used in commercial and multi-use buildings. ASTM C24 committee holds the US Technical Action Group (TAG) to ISO TC 59/SC 8 Building Sealants of which both editors are active participants. Developing and developed countries look to the building sealant standards written by the ASTM and ISO groups to accept as their own standards or make modifications from them.
This book is the fifth volume concentrating on building sealant durability on an international platform. With the collaboration and dedication of the members of C24 who write and maintain standards, the owners and architects responsible for the world’s iconic structures can be confident of the liquid applied sealant materials that make their buildings safe and comfortable.
“The Pleasures of Merely Circulating”
Authors: Gelmi Caroline 
Published: October 2014

Caroline Gelmi, “‘The Pleasures of Merely Circulating’: Sappho and Early American Newspaper Poetry” (pp. 151–174)
This essay examines how early national verse cultures Americanized the popular figure of Sappho. Newspaper parodies of fragment 31, which circulated widely in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, mocked English poet Ambrose Philips’s well-known translation of Sappho’s “Phainetai moi” ode in order to address concerns over the role of Englishness in the United States. The parodies achieved these political effects by allegorizing their own conditions of print circulation and deflating the cultural associations of fragment 31 and Philips’s translation with the lyric. In this way, these poems were able to address a number of political issues, from English imperialism in Ireland to the specter of English aristocracy in the U.S. federal government. This study of Sappho’s role as a figure for American print circulation in the early nineteenth century also offers a pre-history of the more familiar midcentury association of Sappho with the Poetess. As a figure for the Poetess, Sappho came to embody anxieties over female authors in the marketplace, representing concerns that the public circulation of the Poetess’ work and the promiscuous circulation of her body were one and the same. This essay tells the rich backstory to these more familiar concepts, tracing Sappho’s earlier entanglements with print circulation and the political and cultural functions she served.
Charity as Purchase
Authors: Goldfarb Nancy D. 
Published: October 2014

Nancy D. Goldfarb, “Charity as Purchase: Buying Self-Approval in Melville’s ‘Bartleby, the Scrivener’” (pp. 233–261)
This essay examines Herman Melville’s “Bartleby, the Scrivener” (1853) in light of recent scholarship in philanthropic studies. Through the lawyer-narrator, Melville’s story discreetly challenges the representation of charity as a viable means of redistributing wealth and restoring balance to an unequal social structure. The narrator masterfully employs the rhetoric of charity to negotiate his role in Bartleby’s tragic outcome, generating a self-promoting narrative that deflects potential criticism. His charitable acts toward Bartleby do not fulfill Kenneth Boulding’s criterion for philanthropy as a “one-way transfer”; rather, they constitute an exchange. In return for his financial gifts, the lawyer assuages his guilt and cheaply purchases “a delicious self-approval.” The story demonstrates the extent to which the profit-oriented culture represented by Wall Street is antithetical to a sense of obligation for others. By neglecting his civic responsibility and excessively valuing money, the narrator finds himself incapable of a spiritual connection with Bartleby and, despairing of his ability to assist his employee, instead offers him charity. Once the lawyer begins to perceive Bartleby as useful, the potential of charity to express human fellowship transforms into a means to profit. “Bartleby” demonstrates how in late capitalism the needy cease to be seen as individual human beings and subjects of their own lives. Rather, they are seen as an occasion for a purchase, an opportunity to achieve one’s objectives by means of what are now tax-deductible donations.
Bigger, Better, Louder: The Prosperity Gospel's Impact on Contemporary Christian Worship
Authors: Bowler Kate , Reagan Wen 
Published: October 2014

AbstractThis article makes several claims about the relationship between praise and worship music and prosperity megachurches. First, it argues that the prosperity gospel has had a significant impact on contemporary worship music in America owing to its leadership in the twin rise of the megachurch and televangelism. Second, beginning in the 1990s, prosperity megachurches pioneered forms of worship music mimicking “arena rock” that capitalized on both the scale of their sanctuaries and the sophistication of their audio/visual production. The result was a progression toward music that would be a liturgy of timing, lighting, volume and performance designed for large venues. Finally, prosperity megachurches were ideally situated to benefit from this new music, both in the music industry and in their theology. Prosperity megachurches partnered with the expanding worship industry in the creation of new worship music, while the prosperity gospel theologically undergirded the affective power and performative pageantry of Christian arena rock, narrating worship music as a tool for releasing spiritual forces of prosperity. The result was a Sunday experience for the blessed that reinforced the celebration of God’s abundant blessings through music that was bigger, better, and louder.
“The Quiet Revival”: New Immigrants and the Transformation of Christianity in Greater Boston
Authors: Johnson Marilynn 
Published: October 2014

AbstractIn the years after 1965, a new wave of Asian, Latino, Caribbean, and African immigrants has transformed and revitalized the religious landscape of many U.S. cities. This essay explores the transformation of Christianity in greater Boston, where new immigrants replenished ailing congregations and infused them with new religious and social practices. This de-Europeanization of Christianity was not simply a result of transnational practices but resulted from a collaborative process between immigrants and native-born religious institutions. Both Catholic and Protestant churches experienced this immigrant-based revitalization, but evangelical Protestants have been particularly adept at partnering with newcomers to promote a “quiet revival” of urban Christianity.
Senescence and apoptosis: dueling or complementary cell fates?
Authors: Childs Bennett G , Baker Darren J , Kirkland James L , Campisi Judith , van Deursen Jan M 
Published: October 2014

AbstractIn response to a variety of stresses, mammalian cells undergo a persistent proliferative arrest known as cellular senescence. Many senescence‐inducing stressors are potentially oncogenic, strengthening the notion that senescence evolved alongside apoptosis to suppress tumorigenesis. In contrast to apoptosis, senescent cells are stably viable and have the potential to influence neighboring cells through secreted soluble factors, which are collectively known as the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP). However, theSASPhas been associated with structural and functional tissue and organ deterioration and may even have tumor‐promoting effects, raising the interesting evolutionary question of why apoptosis failed to outcompete senescence as a superior cell fate option. Here, we discuss the advantages that the senescence program may have over apoptosis as a tumor protective mechanism, as well as non‐neoplastic functions that may have contributed to its evolution. We also review emerging evidence for the idea that senescent cells are present transiently early in life and are largely beneficial for development, regeneration and homeostasis, and only in advanced age do senescent cells accumulate to an organism's detriment.
An unusual myocardial infarction

Published: October 2014

SummaryWe present a 74-year-old male with a chondrosarcoma, who presented with chest pain. The history, electrocardiogram (ECG), and biomarkers established the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI); angiography did not show coronary atherosclerosis and, both initial transthoracic echocardiogram and chest computed tomography (CT), did not demonstrate any cardiac abnormalities. A second echocardiogram following a routine ECG showed presence of a mass involving the right ventricle and the cardiac apex that was confirmed by chest CT scan. We underline the importance of considering cardiac tumors in the clinical arena of MI management.Learning pointsCardiac tumors cause ECG changes similar to ischemic heart diseases.Keep in mind cardiac tumors when performing transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) in the setting of suspected MI.TTE is the technique of choice in detecting cardiac tumors.
Yeast Systems Biology: Our Best Shot at Modeling a Cell
Authors: Boone Charles 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
THE Genetics Society of America’s Edward Novitski Prize recognizes an extraordinary level of creativity and intellectual ingenuity in the solution of significant problems in genetics research. The 2014 recipient, Charles Boone, has risen to the top of the emergent discipline of postgenome systems biology by focusing on the global mapping of genetic interaction networks. Boone invented the synthetic genetic array (SGA) technology, which provides an automated method to cross thousands of strains carrying precise mutations and map large-scale yeast genetic interactions. These network maps offer researchers a functional wiring diagram of the cell, which clusters genes into specific pathways and reveals functional connections.

Biased Estimates of Diminishing-Returns Epistasis? Empirical Evidence Revisited
Authors: Berger David , Postma Erik 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
Empirical evidence for diminishing fitness returns of beneficial mutations supports Fisher’s geometric model. We show that a similar pattern emerges through the phenomenon of regression to the mean and that few studies correct for it. Although biases are often small, regression to the mean has overemphasized diminishing returns and will hamper cross-study comparisons unless corrected for.

Authors: Muir William W. , Ueyama Yukie , Pedraza-Toscano Adriana , Vargas-Pinto Pedro , Delrio Carlos L. , George Robert S. , Youngblood Bradley L. , Hamlin Robert L. 
Published: October 2014

Abstract
Objective—To determine the effects of rapid small-volume fluid administration on arterial blood pressure measurements and associated hemodynamic variables in isoflurane-anesthetized euvolemic dogs with or without experimentally induced hypotension.
Design—Prospective, randomized, controlled study.
Animals—13 healthy dogs.
Procedures—Isoflurane-anesthetized dogs were randomly assigned to conditions of nonhypotension or hypotension (mean arterial blood pressure, 45 to 50 mm Hg) and treatment with lactated Ringer's solution (LRS) or hetastarch (3 or 10 mL/kg [1.4 or 4.5 mL/lb] dose in a 5-minute period or 3 mL/kg dose in a 1-minute period [4 or 5 dogs/treatment; ≥ 10-day interval between treatments]). Hemodynamic variables were recorded before and for up to 45 minutes after fluid administration.
Results—IV administration of 10 mL/kg doses of LRS or hetastarch in a 5-minute period increased right atrial and pulmonary arterial pressures and cardiac output (CO) when dogs were nonhypotensive or hypotensive, compared with findings before fluid administration; durations of these effects were greater after hetastarch administration. Intravenous administration of 3 mL of hetastarch/kg in a 5-minute period resulted in an increase in CO when dogs were nonhypotensive. Intravenous administration of 3 mL/kg doses of LRS or hetastarch in a 1-minute period increased right atrial pressure and CO when dogs were nonhypotensive or hypotensive.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Administration of LRS or hetastarch (3 or 10 mL/kg dose in a 5-minute period or 3 mL/kg dose in a 1-minute period) improved CO in isoflurane-anesthetized euvolemic dogs with or without hypotension. Overall, arterial blood pressure measurements were a poor predictor of the hemodynamic response to fluid administration.

Les inscriptions funéraires islamiques de Brunei (deuxième partie)
Cette contribution sur les inscriptions islamiques de Brunei, dont est présentée ici la deuxième partie, s'inscrit dans le cadre plus large d'un projet, en cours, d'étude de l'épigraphie musulmane du Monde malais. Y sont recensées, décrites et traduites les épigraphes antérieures à l'an mille de l'hégire – des épitaphes dans leur totalité – qui ont été trouvées dans ce sultanat et qui, pour une majorité d'entre elles, n'ont pas encore été publiées. Elles constituent une source primaire irremplaçable pour l'histoire ancienne de Brunei et, en particulier, pour la période de son islamisation. Comparées à celles des autres régions de l'ensemble malais, ces pierres tombales présentent des différences notables aussi bien dans la rédaction des textes – utilisation de la langue malaise à côté de l'arabe, écriture en coufique carré – que dans leurs styles très variés – forme florale, ornementation chinoise, etc. Ces traits uniques reflètent la place particulière occupée jadis par Brunei parmi les autres sultanats malais.

Glass from Khao Sam Kaeo: Transferred technology for an early Southeast Asian exchange network
Cet article présente les vestiges de l'artisanat verrier à Khao Sam Kaeo. Leur étude fournit des renseignements, d'une part sur les liens que le site avait établi, d'autre part sur les origines possibles de la technologie verrière qui a été mise en œuvre. Nous avons considéré les techniques de fabrication et la composition chimique des verres de Khao Sam Kaeo et de 600 autres objets de verre provenant de sites en Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est. Cette étude a permis de tirer les conclusions suivantes :
– Les habitants de Khao Sam Kaeo étaient activement impliqués dans un réseau d'échange de verre de grande qualité qui s'étendait du Myanmar aux Philippines : Ce réseau semble déjà bien établi au IIIe-IVe siècle avant notre ère.
– Alors que l'origine de la technologie de production des ornements en verre, et peut-être celle du verre lui-même, est sûrement exogène et, comme nous le suggérons, probablement du nord de l'Inde, la plupart des productions qui circulaient dans ce réseau d'échange, qu'elles soient en verre ou de pierre, étaient certainement produites en Asie du Sud-Est et non importés d'Inde ou du Sri Lanka.
– De plus, les compositions chimiques caractéristiques des verres de sites ressortissant au réseau dont Khao Sam Kaeo faisait partie sont rares sur des sites relevant davantage de la protohistoire plus récents tels qu'Ankor Borei, Noen U-Loke, Oc Eo et Khlong Thom.
Cela semble indiquer de profonds changements dans les échanges en Asie du Sud-Est vers la fin du Ier millénaire avant notre ère.
The ecological side of an ethnobotanical coin: Legacies in historically managed trees

Published: October 2014

• Premise of the study: A growing body of literature now documents how ancient human management of the landscape echoes through to extant environments in eastern North America. Plant domestication is a major theme in the study of human–nature interactions. Long‐term ecological impacts of human selection may last for centuries after management ends, yet little work has focused on legacies in the evolution of historically used trees. Ecological data will be valuable in teasing apart myriad variables that confound questions of land‐use legacies. We discuss the potential for legacies of ancient human selection and present a preliminary case study for the approach of integrating ecological and historical data for Diospyros virginiana, the American persimmon.• Methods: Herbarium samples of D. virginiana (28 male and 40 female) from across the species range provided specimen localities for edaphic analysis. Soil and environmental data were analyzed using nonparametric ordination, Wilcoxon summed rank test, and permutational MANOVA.• Key results: Edaphic data demonstrated substantial variation among sites, but revealed no significant differences between sexes. Permutational MANOVA showed no difference in environmental preferences for the tested variables between male and female trees (R2 < 0.01, P = 0.8).• Conclusions: Extending our understanding of landscape history to the long‐term impacts of artificial selection at the species or population level would be valuable in both theoretical and applied botanical research. Multidisciplinary approaches integrating ecological data will be essential for investigation of the evolutionary implications of historical human selection in economic species and the potential for adaptive flexibility in reproductive systems of long‐lived perennials.

Environ 30 % des Inuit du Nunavik (Québec) sont signalés à la Protection de la Jeunesse. En 2010, une Résidence a été développée spécifiquement pour ces jeunes afin de répondre à leurs besoins cliniques et culturels. L’objectif de la présente étude est d’explorer l’utilisation que font les jeunes de cet espace résidentiel. Les résultats suggèrent d’une part que la résidence constitue une « institution perméable », permettant une certaine continuité chez les jeunes malgré les nombreuses ruptures qu’ils vivent, d’autre part que les jeunes qui se trouvent généralement à la marge ont tendance à graviter vers le relationnel et vers le centre lorsqu’ils ont l’espace pour le faire.
