More Inaccurate But Not More Biased: Anxiety During Encoding Impairs Face Recognition Accuracy But Does Not Moderate the Own‐Ethnicity Bias
Authors: Curtis Guy J. , Russ Andrew , Ackland Corrie 
Published: June 2015

SummaryHeightened state anxiety can have a deleterious impact on memory for faces. In this paper we investigated whether anxiety: (i) moderates the own‐ethnicity bias (OEB) and (ii) impairs face recognition accuracy at the encoding or retrieval phase of an OEB face‐recognition task. Using a typical OEB task, anxiety was induced during encoding and retrieval in Experiment 1, but only during retrieval in Experiment 2. An OEB was found in both experiments, but anxiety did not moderate the OEB in either experiment. In Experiment 1, anxious participants were poorer at face recognition for both own‐ and other‐ethnicity faces. In Experiment 2 anxiety did not impair face recognition. Together, these studies suggest that anxiety impaired participants' encoding, but not retrieval, of faces. The implications of these findings are discussed. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Collecting Narrative Data on Amazon's Mechanical Turk
Authors: Grysman Azriel 
Published: June 2015

SummaryMemory researchers collect data using Amazon's Mechanical Turk (AMT). Despite numerous reports documenting the reliability of data collected on this web site, no study of its uses for narrative memory research has been published. Participants reported narratives of stressful events and were recruited via AMT and in various formats with college students, including completing Internet surveys, typing in the presence of an experimenter, and verbal reports to the experimenter. Data were compared on linguistic indicators, event type reported, and questionnaire responses about these event narratives. AMT participants reported shorter event narratives than all groups of college students but reported stressful events that they self‐reported as more difficult than college students reporting via the Internet and used proportionally more negative emotion terms than college students reporting verbally to an experimenter. Factors such as context and demographics are considered, and recommendations are made for researchers using this web site. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Authors: Afridi Shazia K. , Leschziner Guy D. , Ferner Rosalie E. 
Published: June 2015

In our clinical practice, we noticed a high frequency of headaches amongst NF1 patients. We sought to characterize the phenotype and prevalence of headache in our cohort of NF1 patients attending the London NF clinic and to determine the impact on quality of life.Participants over the age of 16 fulfilling diagnostic criteria for NF1 from the general NF1 outpatient clinics at Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and the nationally commissioned Complex NF1 service were asked to fill in a questionnaire during the clinic consultation. Data were recorded regarding the headache frequency, intensity, duration, and phenotype, and a validated quality of life questionnaire, HIT‐6 was also completed by the participant. IHS (International Headache Society) criteria were used to diagnose migraine.One hundred fifteen patients (48 males, 67 females) completed the questionnaire. The age range of participants was 16–67 with a mean age of 36 years. Twenty‐five reported no headaches. Seventy‐five (65%) fulfilled IHS diagnostic criteria for migraine (15 with aura). The mean HIT‐6 score was 56 (out of a maximum 78) implying a significant effect on quality of life.Migraine is common in our NF1 population and has a significant impact on quality of life. Patients may not volunteer information regarding headache and this should be actively sought during consultations and the headache phenotype should be carefully characterized. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Dynamic Release of Bending Stress in Short dsDNA by Formation of a Kink and Forks
Authors: Kim Cheolhee , Lee O‐chul , Kim Jae‐Yeol , Sung Wokyung , Lee Nam Ki 
Published: June 2015

AbstractBending with high curvature is one of the major mechanical properties of double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) that is essential for its biological functions. The emergence of a kink arising from local melting in the middle of dsDNA has been suggested as a mechanism of releasing the energy cost of bending. Herein, we report that strong bending induces two types of short dsDNA deformations, induced by two types of local melting, namely, a kink in the middle and forks at the ends, which we demonstrate using D‐shaped DNA nanostructures. The two types of deformed dsDNA structures dynamically interconvert on a millisecond timescale. The transition from a fork to a kink is dominated by entropic contribution (anti‐Arrhenius behavior), while the transition from a kink to a fork is dominated by enthalpic contributions. The presence of mismatches in dsDNA accelerates kink formation, and the transition from a kink to a fork is removed when the mismatch size is three base pairs.
The effect of organic solvent thermal treatment on the physicochemical properties of lignite
Authors: Liu Meng , Duan Yufeng , Ma Guilin 
Published: June 2015

AbstractTwo organic solvents (ethanol and n‐hexane) were selected to dewater and upgrade Indonesian lignite under high pressure and moderate temperature. The solid products yield of lignite upgraded by ethanol and n‐hexane are 65.1% and 74.4% at 300 °C, 17 MPa and 300 °C, 12 MPa, respectively. In addition, the organic solvents upgrading significantly reduced the moisture content, increased the fixed carbon content, decreased the atomic ratios of O/C and H/C, and considerably increased the calorific value of lignite. Numerous porous and large holes were created on the surface of the upgraded lignite due to the extraction of absorbed water and organic matter in raw lignite. Because of the extraction and decomposition of functional groups in the process of upgrading, the content of carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl, and other oxygen‐containing functional groups is significantly decreased. Also, the condensation degree of the aromatic ring increased, and the quality of lignite upgraded by n‐hexane was better than that of lignite upgraded by ethanol. The content of carbonyl in the lignite decreased from 19.42% to 5.72% after ethanol upgrading and to 2.04% after n‐hexane upgrading at 300 °C, but the carboxyl groups were decomposed at 300 °C. © 2015 Curtin University of Technology and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The Human Shoulder Suspension Apparatus: A Causal Explanation for Bilateral Asymmetry and a Fresh Look at the Evolution of Human Bipedality
Authors: Osborn Michelle L. , Homberger Dominique G. 
Published: June 2015

ABSTRACTThe combination of large mastoid processes and clavicles is unique to humans, but the biomechanical and evolutionary significance of their special configuration is poorly understood. As part of the newly conceptualized shoulder suspension apparatus, the mastoid processes and clavicles are shaped by forces exerted by the musculo‐fascial components of the cleidomastoid and clavotrapezius muscles as they suspend the shoulders from the head. Because both skeletal elements develop during infancy in tandem with the attainment of an upright posture, increased manual dexterity, and the capacity for walking, we hypothesized that the same forces would have shaped them as the shoulder suspension apparatus evolved in ancestral humans in tandem with an upright posture, increased manual dexterity, and bipedality with swinging arms. Because the shoulder suspension apparatus is subjected to asymmetrical forces from handedness, we predicted that its skeletal features would grow asymmetrically. We used this prediction to test our hypothesis in a natural experiment to correlate the size of the skeletal features with the forces exerted on them. We (1) measured biomechanically relevant bony features within the shoulder suspension apparatus in 101 male human specimens (62 of known handedness); and (2) modeled and analyzed the forces within the shoulder suspension apparatus from X‐ray CT data. We identified eight right‐handed characters and demonstrated the causal relationship between these right‐handed characters and the magnitude and direction of forces acting on them. Our data suggest that the presence of the shoulder suspension apparatus in humans was a necessary precondition for human bipedality. Anat Rec, 298:1572–1588, 2015. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: June 2015

ABSTRACTRecent studies have highlighted the mechanism of vascular and axonal guidance to ensure proper morphogenesis and organogenesis. We aimed to perform global mapping of developing neurovascular networks during craniofacial development of embryonic mice. To this end, we developed histology‐based three‐dimensional (3D) reconstructions using paraffin‐embedded serial sections obtained from mouse embryos. All serial sections were dual‐immunolabeled with Pecam1 and Pgp9.5/Gap43 cocktail antibodies. All immunolabeled serial sections were digitized with virtual microscopy to acquire high spatial resolution images. The 3D reconstructs warranted superior positional accuracy to trace the long‐range connectivity of blood vessels and individual cranial nerve axons. It was feasible to depict simultaneously the details of angiogenic sprouting and axon terminal arborization and to assess quantitatively the locoregional proximity between blood vessels and cranial nerve axons. Notably, 3D views of the craniofacial region revealed the following: Branchial arch arteries and blood capillary plexi were formed without accompanying nerves at embryonic day (E) 9.5. Cranial nerve axons began to grow into the branchial arches, developing a labyrinth of small blood vessels at E10.5. Vascular remodeling occurred, and axon terminals of the maxillary, mandibular, chorda tympani, and hypoglossal nerve axons had arborized around the lateral lingual swellings at E11.5. The diverged patterning of trigeminal nerves and the arterial branches from the carotid artery became congruent at E11.5. The overall results support the advantage of dual‐immunolabeling and 3D reconstruction technology to document the architecture and wiring of the developing neurovascular networks in mouse embryos.

Control of Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems Using Feedback Linearisation
Authors: Tayamon Soma , Wigren Torbjörn 
Published: June 2015

AbstractThis paper discusses the identification and control of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. SCR after‐treatment systems form an important technology for reducing the nitrogen oxides, NOx, produced by diesel engines. To be able to control the system, i.e. reducing the output NOx, good models of the after‐treatment system are essential. In this paper a nonlinear black‐box model is identified using a recursive prediction error method. The nonlinear model is applied for design of a controller using feedback linearization techniques including an adaptive strategy. A linear quadratic Gaussian controller is used for the control of the linearized system. A total of 17 parameters were estimated for the nonlinear model. The results indicate that output NOx control using feedback linearization based on a second order black‐box nonlinear model is feasible, provided that identification or adaptivity is used for model tuning. The latter requirement is a result of a study of the robustness. In summary, the paper indicates that significant improvements as compared to linear control can be obtained with the proposed strategy.

Published: June 2015

AbstractTwo series of red‐emitting phosphors Sr‐Ba‐Mo‐W‐O:Eu,Sm and Sr‐Ba‐Mo‐W‐O:Eu have been synthesized by a sol–gel method. The effects of the chemical composition, concentrations of Sm3+ and Eu3+, the Sr2+/Ba2+ ratio, and the W6+/Mo6+ ratio on the luminescent properties were investigated. The as‐prepared phosphors were characterized by X‐ray diffraction and Raman spectra. Results showed that single phases of the two series were prepared. The compositions of Sr0.6Ba0.13Mo0.8 W0.2O4:Eu0.10Sm0.08 and Sr0.75Ba0.1Mo0.8 W0.2O4:Eu0.10 had the strongest luminescent intensity. The excitation spectra of Sm3+, Eu3+ co‐doped phosphors were broader and the strongest peak moved to 404 nm when compared with that of Eu3+ single‐doped phosphors. The luminescent intensity of the Sr0.6Ba0.13Mo0.8 W0.2O4:Eu0.10Sm0.08 at 618 nm were 2.8 times greater than that of Sr0.75Ba0.1Mo0.8 W0.2O4:Eu0.10. The luminescent intensity of Sr0.6Ba0.13Mo0.8 W0.2O4:Eu0.10Sm0.08 and Sr0.75Ba0.1Mo0.8 W0.2O4:Eu0.10 at 150 °C decreased to 56.8% and 50.3% of the initial value at room temperature, respectively.

Energy transfer between Ce3+ → Gd3+ or Tb3+ in KNaSO4 microphosphor
Authors: Manik Urvashi , Gedam S. C. , Dhoble S. J. 
Published: June 2015

AbstractKNaSO4 microphosphor doped with Ce,Gd and Ce,Tb and prepared by a wet chemical method was studied using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) characterization. KNaSO4 has a 5‐µm particle size detected by SEM. KNaSO4:Ce3+,Tb3+ showed blue and green emission (at 494 nm, 557 nm, 590 nm) of Tb3+ due to 5D4 → 7FJ (J = 4, 5, 6) transitions. KNaSO4:Ce3+,Gd3+ showed luminescence in the ultraviolet (UV) light region at 314 nm for an excitation at 271 nm wavelength. It was observed that efficient energy transfer took place from Ce3+ → Gd3+ and Ce3+ → Tb3+ sublattices indicating that Ce3+ could effectively sensitize Gd3+ or Tb3+ (green emission). Ce3+ emission weakened and Gd3+ or Tb3+ enhanced the emission significantly in KNaSO4. This paper discusses the development and understanding of photoluminescence and the effect of Tb3+ and Gd3+ on KNaSO4:Ce3+. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
A validated HPLC‐MS/MS method for the quantification of caderofloxacin in human plasma and its application to a clinical pharmacokinetic study
Authors: Zhang Xianhua , Zhai Suodi , Duan Jingli , Yang Li. 
Published: June 2015

AbstractA simple, selective and rapid HPLC‐MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of caderofloxacin in human plasma. Sparfloxacin was used as the internal standard (IS). After precipitation with methanol and dilution with the mobile phase, the samples were injected into the HPLC‐MS/MS system. The chromatographic separation was performed on a Zorbax XDB Eclipse C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) with a mobile phase of ammonium acetate buffer (20 mm, pH 3.0)–methanol, 45:55 (v/v). The MS/MS analysis was done in positive mode. The multiple reaction monitoring transitions monitored were m/z 412.3 → 297.1 for caderofloxacin and m/z 393.2 → 292.2 for the IS. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 50.0–8000 ng/mL with an aliquot of 100 μL plasma. The precision of the assay was 2.0–9.4 and 6.6–11.5% for the intra‐ and inter‐run variability, respectively. The intra‐ and inter‐run accuracy (relative error) was 4.4–10.0 and −1.2–4.0%. The total run time was 3.5 min. The assay was fully validated in accordance with the US Food and Drug Administration guidance. It was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of caderofloxacin in healthy Chinese volunteers. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AbstractWhile sorafenib (SFN) is the established worldwide standard therapeutic agent for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) is also considered a favorable treatment for some advanced HCCs. This study aimed to evaluate each treatment and provide an optimal therapeutic choice for advanced HCCs. We analyzed 72 patients treated with SFN and 128 patients receiving HAIC. Both treatment groups were analyzed for prognostic and disease progression factors, and matched pair analysis was performed using the propensity score matching method. The preferable status of intrahepatic lesions, that is, no lesions or only a single (<3 cm) intrahepetic lesion, was positively associated with good prognosis and negatively associated with disease progression in the SFN group. Maximum tumor size (>5 cm) and low albumin (≤3.4 g/dL) were poor prognostic and disease progression factors in the HAIC group. Analysis of 53 patients selected from each of the SFN and HAIC groups based on the propensity score matching method showed no significant differences in survival or disease progression between the two matched subgroups. On the other hand, progression‐free survival (PFS) in the HAIC‐matched subgroup was significantly longer than in the SFN‐matched subgroup, particularly in patients with portal vein invasion (PVI) and/or without extrahepatic spread (EHS). The treatment efficacy of HAIC is similar to that of SFN regarding survival and disease progression. Longer PFS might be expected for HAIC compared with SFN, particularly in patients with PVI and/or without EHS.
Interactive thin elastic materials

Published: June 2015

AbstractDespite great strides in past years are being made to generate motions of elastic materials such as cloth and biological skin in virtual world, unfortunately, the computational cost of realistic high‐resolution simulations currently precludes their use in interactive applications. Thin elastic materials such as cloth and biological skin often exhibit complex nonlinear elastic behaviors. However, modeling elastic nonlinearity can be computationally expensive and numerically unstable, imposing significant challenges for their use in interactive applications. This paper presents a novel simulation framework for simulating realistic material behaviors with interactive frame rate. Central to the framework is the use of a constraint‐based multi‐resolution solver for efficient and robust modeling of the material nonlinearity. We extend a strain‐limiting method to work on deformation gradients of triangulated surface models in three‐dimensional space with a novel data structure. The simulation framework utilizes an iterative nonlinear Gauss–Seidel procedure and a multilevel hierarchy structure to achieve computational speedups. As material nonlinearity are generated by enforcing strain‐limiting constraints at a multilevel hierarchy, our simulation system can rapidly accelerate the convergence of the large constraint system with simultaneous enforcement of boundary conditions. The simplicity and efficiency of the framework makes simulations of highly realistic thin elastic materials substantially fast and is applicable of simulations for interactive applications.
