Authors: Harvey David , Sutherland Andrew V. 
Published: August 2014

AbstractWe present an efficient algorithm to compute the Hasse–Witt matrix of a hyperelliptic curve$\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}C/\mathbb{Q}$modulo all primes of good reduction up to a given bound$N$, based on the average polynomial-time algorithm recently proposed by the first author. An implementation for hyperelliptic curves of genus 2 and 3 is more than an order of magnitude faster than alternative methods for $N = 2^{26}$.

Sea Surface Temperature Variability at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Pier*
Authors: Checkley David M. , Lindegren Martin 
Published: August 2014

AbstractSea surface temperature (SST) has been measured from near the end of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) pier daily since 1916. It is one of the world’s longest instrumental time series of SST. It is widely used in studies of climate and marine ecosystems and in fisheries management. The authors hypothesized that a discontinuity exists in 1988, when the old pier was replaced with the present pier. A regression of annual-mean SST at SIO (SSTSIO) on the Pacific decadal oscillation index for 1916–87 was used to predict annual-mean SST (SSTSIO, PDO) for 1916–present. The residual (ResSSTSIO = SSTSIO − SSTSIO,PDO) time series shows a positive discontinuity in 1988, when the present SIO pier was first used to measure SSTSIO. No discontinuity in 1988 was observed for ResSST at 12 other shore stations or in nearby waters. Use of the first principal component of other shore station time series of annual-mean SST as the predictor yields similar results. SSTSIO measured over 3 days shows a diel cycle and short-term variability consistent with rip current transport of warm surf-zone water to the end of the SIO pier. This study hypothesizes that rip current transport increased with the change from the old to the present pier and contributed to the observed discontinuity in SIO pier SST. The authors estimate an artifact of about +0.45°C due to both rapid (1988 pier change) and gradual processes. Adjusting the SIO pier SST time series for this artifact reduces the long-term trend from +1.1° to +0.6°C century−1, consistent with the global rate of change of SST over the past century.

Abstract

Background
Vasopressin administration has been tested in cardiac arrest. However it has not been tested when cardiac arrest occurs in certain circumstances, as in sepsis, where it may have a major role. The aim of the study was to investigate survival after cardiac arrest in a septic porcine model compared with healthy animals and to explore the effectiveness of adding vasopressin vs epinephrine alone administration.

Methods
Thirty five healthy piglets of both genders were studied. The piglets were randomly assigned into three groups: group A (n = 8), group B (n = 14), group C (n = 13). Animals of groups B and C were given endotoxin to mimic a septic state before arrest. We applied the same resuscitation protocol to all pigs but we replaced the first dose of epinephrine with vasopressin in pigs of group C. Following surgical preparation and 30 min resting period, baseline measurements were recorded. In order to assess tissue oxygenation, we implemented Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) with the vascular occlusion technique (VOT) in thirteen lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated animals, occluding abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava. Afterwards, LPS (100 μg/kg) was infused in a 30 min period to animals of groups B and C and normal saline to group A. New NIRS measurements were obtained again. Subsequently, we provoked ventricular fibrillation (VF). After 3 min of untreated VF, open chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was performed manually. Primary end point was the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).

Results
The chance of ROSC for the groups A, B and C was 75%, 35.7%, and 30.7% respectively. A significant difference in ROSC was established between septic (group B + C) and non septic piglets (group A) (P = 0.046). Vasopressin administration had no effect in outcome. LPS administration decreased oxygen consumption rate, as assessed by NIRS, in peripheral tissues (22.6 ± 7.2. vs 18.5 ± 7.2, P = 0.07).

Conclusion
Septic piglets have fewer chances to survive after cardiac arrest. No difference in outcome was observed when the first dose of epinephrine was replaced with vasopressin to treat cardiac arrest in the LPS-treated animals.

Authors: Nagata Hiroshi , Chikusa Yasuo 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
The performance of an all-solid-state sodium–sulfur (Na–S) battery at 25 °C, in which the sulfur content in the positive composite electrode was 50 wt % to enhance energy density, was investigated. All-solid-state Na–S cells prepared using a positive composite electrode with a high-phosphorus-to-sulfur-ratio solid electrolyte exhibited a high capacity of approximately 1500 mA h g−1 at 0.13 mA cm−2 at 25 °C. This value is similar to the theoretical value.
All-solid-state Lithium–Sulfur Batteries Using a Conductive Composite Containing Activated Carbon and Electroconductive Polymers
Authors: Nagata Hiroshi , Chikusa Yasuo 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
The performance of all-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries using a composite electrode containing activated carbon with enhanced electroconductivity was investigated at 25 °C. The incorporation of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrenesulfonate) into activated carbon enhanced conductivity, improving battery performance. The cell reversible capacity exceeded 1300 mA h g−1 at 0.64 mA cm−2 and 25 °C despite a high sulfur content (60 wt %). Especially, the increase of electric conductivity because of the conductive polymer material was larger during the charge reaction than that during the discharge reaction.

Abstract
Single-crystal X-ray structures of stacked ionic assemblies of meso-tetrakis(N-alkylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin and meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS4−) were revealed. The tetracationic porphyrin and the tetraanionic porphyrin stacked alternately in a J-aggregation manner to form an oblique columnar array. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the detailed structure of 1:1 stacked assemblies of tetracationic and tetraanionic porphyrins.
Polymer Brush Growth from Surface-textured Thin Urushiol Films

Published: August 2014

Abstract
We have demonstrated the growth of polymer brushes from a surface-textured thin urushiol film. Thermal imprinting was done on an initiator-immobilized thin urushiol film, and surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (MTAC) was conducted from it. The obtained surface showed superhydrophilicity because of the nature of polyelectrolyte polymer brushes on the textured surface. Since thin urushiol film can form on a variety of substrates, the concept shown here could be a universal approach for surface modifications of substrates.
Communication and the support worker
Authors: Stonehouse David 
Published: August 2014

This article examines the important role that good communication plays in enabling the support worker to deliver quality care. Communication will be defined, as well as examining the different forms and components that make up communication. Potential barriers will be highlighted, together with advice on how these may be overcome. Support workers are closest to patient care, spending more face-to-face time with patients and their families/carers. It is vital therefore that support workers communicate in a patient-centred way, taking into account the patient's preferences and needs, while maintaining respect and dignity.
Resonating with contextually inappropriate interpretations in production: The case of irony
Authors: Giora Rachel , Raphaely Moshe , Fein Ofer , Livnat Elad 
Published: August 2014

AbstractAccording to the graded salience hypothesis, salient meanings and salience-based interpretations are not only involved in language comprehension but also in language production (Giora 2003, 2011a; Giora and Gur 2003). This should be true of irony production as well. If, as predicted by the graded salience hypothesis, the ironist herself indeed activates utterance interpretations on account of their salience-based accessibility rather than solely on account of their contextual fit, this might be reflected in the ironies' environment. Given the crucial role of the salience-based interpretation of “what is said” in deriving and supporting the ironic interpretation, this interpretation should not be suppressed (Giora 1995). Such a view of irony production predicts that its environment will demonstrate dialogic resonance (à la Du Bois, this volume) with ironies' salience-based, but incompatible interpretations. To test this prediction, we studied a written Hebrew corpus including over 1600 ironies. Our findings show that 46% of the ironies, 10% of which are extended ironies, are addressed via reference to their salience-based contextually incompatible interpretations; resonance with the context-based , ironic interpretation occurred in only 8% of the cases; the environment of the rest either did not resonate with any of their interpretations (43%), or resonated with both their compatible and incompatible interpretations (3%). These results support the view that, like comprehenders (Giora et al. 2007), irony producers too activate and retain salience-based albeit inappropriate interpretations.
Dialogic syntax and complement constructions in toddlers' peer interactions
Authors: Köymen Bahar , Kyratzis Amy 
Published: August 2014

AbstractChildren start producing grammatically complex sentences during toddlerhood (Bloom et al. 1984; Diessel 2004). This study examines how toddlers use complement constructions as a communicative resource in peer interactions. The data come from an archival database, which consists of 500 hours of videorecordings of children's naturalistic interactions in a daycare center. All complement constructions produced by seven target children were identified. The data illustrate children using “format tying” (Goodwin 1990, 2006) and “dialogic syntax”. They construct utterances “based on the immediately co-present utterance[s]” (Du Bois, this issue) of their own and others (caregivers) in the discourse, as means of demonstrating positive or negative alignment with their interlocutors, thereby negotiating the participation framework (Goffman 1981; Goodwin and Goodwin 2004). As children tie to prior utterances, and transform and embed them into matrix clauses with stance-indexing verbs like I said, I want, and Let me, complex complement constructions are built up dialogically over sequences of interaction.
Multiple Dedekind zeta functions
Authors: Horozov Ivan Emilov 
Published: August 2014

Abstract
In this paper we define multiple Dedekind zeta values (MDZV),
using a new type of iterated integrals, called iterated integrals
on a membrane. One should consider MDZV as a number theoretic generalization of Euler’s multiple zeta values. Over imaginary quadratic fields MDZV capture, in particular, multiple Eisenstein series [6]. We give an analogue of multiple Eisenstein series over real quadratic field and an alternative definition of values of multiple Eisenstein–Kronecker series [9]. Each of them is a special case of multiple Dedekind zeta values.
MDZV are interpolated into functions that we call multiple Dedekind zeta functions (MDZF). We show that MDZF have integral representation, can be written as infinite sum, and have analytic continuation. We compute explicitly the value of a multiple residue of certain MDZF over a quadratic number field at the point

Abstract
A series of protease activated receptor 2 activating peptide (PAR2-AP) derivatives (1–15) were designed and synthesized. The obtained compounds were tested on a panel of human kallikreins (hKLK1, hKLK2, hKLK5, hKLK6, and hKLK7) and were found completely inactive toward hKLK1, hKLK2, and hKLK7. Aiming to investigate the mode of interaction between the most interesting compounds and the selected hKLKs, docking studies were performed. The described compounds distinguish the different human tissue kallikreins with compounds 1 and 5 as the best hKLK5 and hKLK6 inhibitors, respectively.
Complement activation by salivary agglutinin is secretor status dependent

Published: August 2014

Abstract
After mucosal damage or gingival inflammation, complement proteins leak into the oral cavity and mix with salivary proteins such as salivary agglutinin (SAG/gp-340/DMBT1). This protein is encoded by the gene Deleted in Malignant Brain Tumors 1 (DMBT1), and it aggregates bacteria, viruses and fungi, and activates the lectin pathway of the complement system. In the lectin pathway, carbohydrate structures on pathogens or altered self cells are recognized. SAG is highly glycosylated, partly on the basis of the donor’s blood group status. Whereas secretors express Lewis b, Lewis y, and antigens from the ABO-blood group system on SAG, non-secretors do not. Through mannose-binding lectin (MBL) binding and C4 deposition assays, we aimed to identify the chemical structures on SAG that are responsible for complement activation. The complement-activating properties of SAG were completely abolished by oxidation of its carbohydrate moiety. SAG-mediated activation of complement was also inhibited in the presence of saccharides such as fucose and Lewis b carbohydrates, and also after pretreatment with the fucose-binding lectin, Anguilla anguilla agglutinin. Complement activation was significantly (p<0.01) higher in secretors than in non-secretors. Our results suggest that fucose-rich oligosaccharide sidechains, such as Lewis b antigens, are involved in the activation of complement by SAG.

Putting the “self” in self-deprecation: When deprecating humor about minorities is acceptable
Authors: Ellithorpe Morgan , Esralew Sarah , Holbert Lance 
Published: August 2014

AbstractThis study tested how source knowledge affects enjoyment of self-deprecating humor about a minority group. Participants made aware that the source of a message poking fun at people with disabilities was himself disabled had more positive evaluations of the cartoon and author than participants unaware of his disability. Participants initially given no source information judged the author more positively the second time when they were given follow-up source information. Finally, some effects were moderated by the disability status of the message receiver, such that having a disability or knowing someone who does predicted higher liking of the cartoons when the author is disabled but lower liking when he is not. The results suggest a role for self-deprecating humor in intergroup relations, and predict when such humor will be accepted by minority and non-minority group members.

Abstract
T. Harayama and D. K. Friesen
[J. Math. Cryptol. 1 (2007), 79–104]
proposed the linearized binomial attack for multivariate quadratic cryptosystems and introduced weak Dembowski–Ostrom (DO) polynomials in this framework over the finite field 𝔽2. We extend the linearized binomial attack to multivariate quadratic cryptosystems over 𝔽
p
for any prime p and redefine the weak DO polynomials for general case.
We identify infinite classes of weak DO polynomials for these systems by considering highly degenerate quadratic forms over algebraic function fields and Artin–Schreier type curves to achieve our results. This gives a general answer to the conjecture stated by Harayama and Friesen and also a partial enumeration of weak DO polynomials over finite fields.
Flow Behavior of “EPDM” Rubber during Dry Compression
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Abhijit 
Published: August 2014

AbstractIn the recent time rubber has emerged as a very useful and suitable material for wider varieties of engineering and other applications which includes but not limited to domestic, sports and many more. It possesses large elasticity compared to metals, has greater damping capability, high internal friction and can accumulate energy to a greater extent compared to steel or other metals. During the deformation of rubber material, particularly by compressive force, internal damping of the material leads to energy dissipation. This is the cause of hysteretic friction of rubber. Friction of rubber has practical importance. At the same time it has many disadvantages tooUse of rubber as engineering material is not new. However, in the recent time its application is gaining renewed importance as well as interest due to several engineering researches and property enhancement too. It is, however, needless to be mentioned that prediction of exact behavior of any viscoelastic material like rubber is very difficult.In the present work compression tests have been carried out to determine the flow characteristics of EPDM rubber of different hardness. Flat mild steel platens have been used to apply axysymetric compressive load on the specimen under dry working condition. The flow behavior like load – elongation curves, true stress – true strain curves and specific energy requirements have been computed from the experimental data. Statical hysteresis and the loss factors have also been obtained.Experimental results reveal that the hardness of EPDM rubber has significant effect on the flow behavior. Thus, it can be stated that the flow behavior can be governed by controlling the carbon black (CB) concentration in EPDM rubber as the hardness depends on it. It is proposed to extend the experiments with the application of different kind of lubricants.
Prediction of Squeeze Cast Density Using Fuzzy Logic Based Approaches
Authors: Patel Manjunath G. C. , Krishna Prasad , Parappagoudar Mahesh B. 
Published: August 2014

AbstractIn the present work, efforts are made to develop the input-output relationships for squeeze casting process by utilizing the fuzzy logic based approaches. Casting density in Squeeze casting is expressed as function of process parameters, such as time delay before pressurizing the metal, pressure durations, squeeze pressure, pouring temperature and die temperature. It is to be noted that, Mamdani based model and Takagi and Sugeno's model have been developed to model density in squeeze casting process. Manually constructed Mamdani based fuzzy logic controller and Takagi and Sugeno's based fuzzy logic controller have been used in approach 1 and approach 2 respectively. Training of FLC is carried with the help of five hundred input-output data set generated artificially through regression equations, obtained earlier by the same authors. The performance of the developed models was tested for both the linear and non-linear membership function distributions with the help of ten test cases. Moreover, the test data was collected by conducting the experiments and not used in training of FLCs. It is interesting to note that both approaches are capable to make accurate predictions. However, the performance of approach 2 with G bell shape membership function distribution is found to outperform approach 1 and other type of membership function distributions. The findings are useful to foundry-men, since it provides information on casting density in squeeze casting process for the different combination of process parameters without conducting any experiments.
