Here and Now: Tulkudream, Tanja, Zgonc and Butoh
Authors: Leskovšek Nika 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Using various approaches, this article attempts to explicate the phenomenon of the performance Tulkudream by Tanja Zgonc, its unique intertwinement of Tibetan Buddhism and the method of butoh; drawing on its specificity, the text offers a review of the contemporary position of butoh and its topicality, while it also investigates whether or not it is possible to use butoh to actualise some theories of dance. In so doing so, the article relies especially on the application of the "autonomous body of dance", the concept with a longstanding tradition in the history of dance theory.
A partial coping with passivity in the public sphere
Authors: Arhar Nika 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
With an approach that strictly distinguishes between collective and individual operation in a public space, Bojana Cvejić and Ana Vujanović open the discussion of public sphere performative acts and test the connections between ideological performative acts by group formations and individuals with social order and the possibility of changing them. The broadly set starting points also expose the loosely addressed issuesthat can be used as guidelines in further research: the application of theses in the field of collective operation upon the individualistic social system and a precise confrontation with the pluralism found in the neo-liberal democracy, the intertwining operation of ideology in performative acts with the power that mobilises the performative acts, and the connection between the individualistic and group tendencies in designing and redesigning the public sphere.

It records the proliferation of dance theory and the introduction of new concepts and methods since the 1970s, especially in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and follows the increase in writing about dance through 2005.
All motors have to decide is what to do with the DNA that is given them
Authors: Briggs Koan , Fischer Christopher J. 
Published: November 2014

AbstractDNA translocases are a diverse group of molecular motors responsible for a wide variety of cellular functions. The goal of this review is to identify common aspects in the mechanisms for how these enzymes couple the binding and hydrolysis of ATP to their movement along DNA. Not surprisingly, the shared structural components contained within the catalytic domains of several of these motors appear to give rise to common aspects of DNA translocation. Perhaps more interesting, however, are the differences between the families of translocases and the potential associated implications both for the functions of the members of these families and for the evolution of these families. However, as there are few translocases for which complete characterizations of the mechanisms of DNA binding, DNA translocation, and DNA-stimulated ATPase have been completed, it is difficult to form many inferences. We therefore hope that this review motivates the necessary further experimentation required for broader comparisons and conclusions.

AbstractThe Sysmex XN (XN) modular system (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan) is a new automated hematology analyzer equipped with different principles from its previous version, Sysmex XE-2100. We compared the performances of Sysmex XN and XE-2100 in umbilical cord blood (CB) specimens.In 160 CB specimens, complete blood count (CBC) parameters and white blood cells (WBC) differentials were compared between the two analyzers. Their flagging performances for blasts, abnormal/atypical lymphocytes, immature granulocytes and/or left-shift (IG), and nucleated red blood cells (NRBC) counts were compared with manual counts. For the blast flagging, Q values by Sysmex XN were further compared with manual slide review.Sysmex XN and XE-2100 showed high or very high correlations for most CBC parameters but variable correlations for WBC differentials. Compared with XE-2100, XN showed significantly different flagging performances for blasts, abnormal/atypical lymphocytes, and IG. The flagging efficiency for blasts was significantly better on Sysmex XN than on XE-2100 (85.0% vs. 38.8%): Sysmex XN showed a remarkably increased specificity of blast flag, compromising its sensitivity of blast flag. Among the 24 specimens with blasts (range, 0.5%–1.5%), only one (4.2%) showed a positive Q value.This study highlighted the remarkable differences of flagging performances between Sysmex XN and XE-2100 in CB specimens. The Sysmex XN modular system seems to be a suitable and practical option for the CB specimens used for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as well as for the specimens from neonates.

AbstractThe small conductance calcium-activated potassium, subfamily N, member 3 (A total of 889 AF patients and 1015 controls were enrolled. Two hundred and seventy-eight cases of AF were lone AF.The genotype distribution and allele frequency of rs13376333 polymorphism were not different between total AF patients and controls. However, the genotype distribution of rs13376333 polymorphism was significantly different between lone AF and control group (p<0.001); and T allele frequency was significantly higher in lone AF group than that in controls (7.6% vs 3.6%, p<0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that T allele carriers of rs13376333 was significantly associated with lone AF (OR=2.31, 95% CI 1.41–3.78, p=0.001). No relationship between rs1131820 polymorphism and total AF or lone AF was found in this study.
Reader comments on mainstream online newspapers in Turkey: Perceptions of web editors and moderators
Authors: Ürper Dilruba Çatalbaş , Çevikel Tolga 
Published: November 2014

AbstractThis paper is a qualitative empirical study of the perceptions of web editors and moderators about reader comments. Drawing from the insights provided by nineteen in-depth interviews with newsroom staff, we contend that reader comments have so far made little impact on the practices of traditional journalism in Turkey and that their promise to foster more constructive online public deliberation is largely unfulfilled. Reader comments continue to be an underestimated and neglected feature of online news. Online journalists’ perceptions of reader comments are not based on any solid information of their readers but on their own personal observation and experiences. Moreover, freedom of expression in reader comments in mainstream newspapers is very limited due to legal and political pressures and prevalent self-censorship. Online journalists define politics and sports as the main categories that receive the highest number of comments most of the time. They also observe in reader comments the manifestation of a current political polarization in Turkey and point out the existence of majority pressure and a spiral of silence in relation to the Kurdish issue.
Low Voltage Low Power Folded Mixer for S-Band Wireless Applications
Authors: Chen Shiqiang , Wang Junfeng 
Published: November 2014

AbstractThis paper describes a low voltage low power (LV-LP) folded mixer for S-band wireless applications. The proposed mixer could convert a 10 MHz intermediate frequency (IF) signal to a 2.4 GHz RF signal with a local oscillator (LO) power of 0 dBm at 2.39 GHz. The comparison with the previous reported mixers shows that the proposed mixer has the advantages of lower voltage, lower power consumption and higher conversion gain than most of the other works. Simulation results demonstrate that the mixer a remarkable conversion gain of 10.5 dB while consuming only 0.65 mW DC power from a 0.8 V supply voltage. The input-referred third-order intercept point (IIP3) of the mixer is 3.75 dBm, and the chip area is only 0.525 mm

Abstract
In wastewater treatment, waste removal and biomass activity are important processes which need to be monitored for a good process control. The difficulties in the interpretation of the total COD, BOD and VSS measurements encouraged the development of respirometric methods for assessing the kinetic constants. Respirometry is an important technique in assessing biological reaction in wastewater treatment.

Percolation on the institute-enterprise R&D collaboration networks
Authors: Li Chenguang , Zhang Yongan 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Realistic network-like systems are usually composed of multiple networks with interacting relations such as school-enterprise research and development (R&D) collaboration networks. Here, we study the percolation properties of a special class of R&D collaboration network, namely institute-enterprise R&D collaboration networks (IERDCNs). We introduce two actual IERDCNs to show their structural properties, and we present a mathematical framework based on generating functions for analyzing an interacting network with any connection probability. Then,we illustrate the percolation threshold and structural parameter arithmetic in the sub-critical and supercritical regimes.We compare the predictions of our mathematical framework and arithmetic to data for two real R&D collaboration networks and a number of simulations. We find that our predictions are in remarkable agreement with the data. We show applications of the framework to electronics R&D collaboration networks

Published: November 2014

ABSTRACTWe report photo induced minority carrier annihilation at the silicon surface in a metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) structure using 9.35 GHz microwave transmittance measurement. 7 Ωcm n-type 500-μm-thick crystalline silicon substrate coated with 100-nm-thick thermally grown SiO2 layers was used. 0.2-cm-long Al electrode bars were formed at the top and rear surfaces. 635 nm light illumination onto the top surface caused photo induced carriers to be in one side of the silicon region of the Al electrode. Microwave transmittance system detected photo induced carriers diffused from the light illuminated region via the MOS structured region. When the bias voltage was applied at +2.0 and -2.2 V to the electrode at the top surface, the surface recombination velocity increased from 44 (initial) to 83 and 86 cm/s, respectively because of depletion region formation at rear and top surface respectively. Those voltage applications caused change in the distribution of photo induced carriers in a 0.6-cm-wide region including light illuminated, MOS structured, microwave irradiated regions.

Published: November 2014

Objective Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is a congenital condition associated with abnormal development of the soft palate musculature. In a proportion of cases, this results in velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), the treatment for which includes pharyngeal flap surgery, pharyngoplasty, and palate reconstruction. The aim of this paper is to determine whether there is superiority of one or more types of surgical procedure over the others in improving speech in patients with VPI secondary to SMCP. Methodology Nine databases, including MEDLINE and EMBASE, were searched between inception and January 2013 to identify articles published relating to the surgical management of SMCP. Only studies that reported outcome measures for postoperative speech were included in the systematic review. Results Twenty-six studies analyzing the outcomes of surgery for VPI in patients with SMCP met the inclusion criteria. In these studies, speech outcomes were measured either in a binary fashion (i.e., normal speech or evidence of VPI) or using scales of VPI severity. Of the 26 studies, only two utilized blinded speech assessment, and 12 included both preoperative and postoperative speech assessment. Conclusions The review found little evidence to support any specific surgical intervention. This is in large part due to the inclusion of mixed etiologies within study populations and the lack of unbiased validated preoperative and postoperative speech assessment. Further methodologically rigorous studies need to be conducted to provide a secure evidence base for the surgical management of SMCP.

Published: November 2014

Abstract

Purpose: Clinical trials are expensive and lengthy, where success of a given trial depends on observing a prospectively defined number of patient events required to answer the clinical question. The point at which this analysis time occurs depends on both patient accrual and primary event rates, which typically vary throughout the trial's duration. We demonstrate real-time analysis date projections using data from a collection of six clinical trials that are part of the IDEA collaboration, an international preplanned pooling of data from six trials testing the duration of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage III colon cancer, and we additionally consider the hypothetical impact of one trial's early termination of follow-up.

Patients and Methods: In the absence of outcome data from IDEA, monthly accrual rates for each of the six IDEA trials were used to project subsequent trial-specific accrual, while historical data from similar Adjuvant Colon Cancer Endpoints (ACCENT) Group trials were used to construct a parametric model for IDEA's primary endpoint, disease-free survival, under the same treatment regimen. With this information and using the planned total accrual from each IDEA trial protocol, individual patient accrual and event dates were simulated and the overall IDEA interim and final analysis times projected. Projections were then compared with actual (previously undisclosed) trial-specific event totals at a recent census time for validation. The change in projected final analysis date assuming early termination of follow-up for one IDEA trial was also calculated.

Results: Trial-specific predicted event totals were close to the actual number of events per trial for the recent census date at which the number of events per trial was known, with the overall IDEA projected number of events only off by eight patients. Potential early termination of follow-up by one IDEA trial was estimated to postpone the overall IDEA final analysis date by 9 months.

Conclusions: Real-time projection of the final analysis time during a trial, or the overall analysis time during a trial collaborative such as IDEA, has practical implications for trial feasibility when these projections are translated into additional time and resources required.
The Megaphone Effect in Social Media: How Ordinary Consumers Become Style Leaders
Authors: McQuarrie Edward F. , Phillips Barbara J. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Amassing an audience by blogging is a very recent form of online consumer behavior.
Consumers not only seek community as earlier studies show, they also look for taste leadership from certain peers Fashion bloggers take hold of the Internet “megaphone” to broadcast and influence taste within an elaborate social and cultural process. It teaches us some general principles about the ways professional marketing is affected by these “citizen journalists” on social media, and how their behavior is affected by marketers. These megaphone-holding consumers have real power, and their consumer-to-consumer relationships depend upon brands. Brands are increasingly coming to depend upon them as well. Although these bloggers started out as ordinary consumers, they were soon integrated into the professional fashion system and do not oppose it. They therefore pose no threat to professional marketers, but rather offeran alternative marketing opportunity within the complex web of social media.
Beyond Bedlam: How Consumers and Brands Alike Are Playing the Web
Authors: Deighton John , Kornfeld Leora 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Effective social brand engagement can result from marketers “getting in the game” by playing with consumers.Play can take many different forms and can refer to different aspects. It can produce winners and losers, for example when marketers conquer the consumer’s wish to be let alone. It can refer to the collaboration among players to achieve, if not exactly a common purpose, at least separate purposes with joint resources. Or it can refer to conduct that bemuses and befuddles, leaving even the marketer unsure about the purpose of the game, except that he will be better known. It is apparent that people want to play with brands, and their managers must therefore decide if they want to actively offer participation and surrender to whatever form consumer play may take. However, brand managers should be prepared for surprising turns. Attention and consumer engagement are the prizes at stake for taking the venture, awards that are increasingly difficult to gain with more traditional communication campaigns.
Participatory Culture: From Co-Creating Brand Meaning to Changing the World
Authors: Jenkins Henry 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Young people’s personal use of social media like blogs, networks and online platforms is actually a double-edged sword. Creativity and action can endorse brands, but they can also harm a brand as the new generation moves from being socially and culturally active to being politically and civically engaged. Brands can be the perfect plugs on which to hang their campaigns. In the example outlined in this article, the Harry Potter brand serves as a good of example to demonstrate such activism.Its entire magical world was embraced, and the company who owns and licenses the brand was systematically scrutinized and criticized. Warner Bros. mishandled this form of social brand engagement. The whole case is highly instructive to managers who increasingly face such challenges to their production and marketing methods every day.
For Us and by Us: The Charm and Power of Community Brands
Authors: Füller Johann 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Online collaboration presents a real alternative to the company-centered innovation paradigm, and some users do more than just innovate, going the extra mile and actually creating brands themselves. The open-source movement, for instance, has produced a series of well-known brands such as Linux, Apache and Mozilla Firefox. The outdoor hiking community OutdoorSeiten.net serves as another example. Its members are dedicated to all types of outdoor sports and created their own gear to better fit their needs.
Often, community brands are not planned but evolve accidentally as byproducts of community interactions. Their value is seen not only within the community but throughout the whole industry. The ability to commonly design “ideal” products at lower expenses and without the threat of being exploited or overtaken by the next fashion wave enchants its users and fans alike.This phenomenon of engaged consumers producing their own brands places them in the same position as other producers, which is both a challenge and an opportunity for commercial companies.
