Image descriptions and their relational expressions: a review of the literature and the issues
Authors: Benson Allen C 
Published: January 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to survey the treatment of relationships, relationship expressions and the ways in which they manifest themselves in image descriptions.Design/methodology/approach– The term “relationship” is construed in the broadest possible way to include spatial relationships (“to the right of”), temporal (“in 1936,” “at noon”), meronymic (“part of”), and attributive (“has color,” “has dimension”). The intentions of these vaguely delimited categories with image information, image creation, and description in libraries and archives is complex and in need of explanation.Findings– The review brings into question many generally held beliefs about the relationship problem such as the belief that the semantics of relationships are somehow embedded in the relationship term itself and that image search and retrieval solutions can be found through refinement of word-matching systems.Originality/value– This review has no hope of systematically examining all evidence in all disciplines pertaining to this topic. It instead focusses on a general description of a theoretical treatment in Library and Information Science.
Domain knowledge and data quality perceptions in genome curation work
Authors: Huang Hong 
Published: January 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to understand genomics scientists’ perceptions in data quality assurances based on their domain knowledge.

Design/methodology/approach
– The study used a survey method to collect responses from 149 genomics scientists grouped by domain knowledge. They ranked the top-five quality criteria based on hypothetical curation scenarios. The results were compared using χ2 test.

Findings
– Scientists with domain knowledge of biology, bioinformatics, and computational science did not reach a consensus in ranking data quality criteria. Findings showed that biologists cared more about curated data that can be concise and traceable. They were also concerned about skills dealing with information overloading. Computational scientists on the other hand value making curation understandable. They paid more attention to the specific skills for data wrangling.

Originality/value
– This study takes a new approach in comparing the data quality perceptions for scientists across different domains of knowledge. Few studies have been able to synthesize models to interpret data quality perception across domains. The findings may help develop data quality assurance policies, training seminars, and maximize the efficiency of genome data management.
The interplay of affective and cognitive factors in information seeking and use
Authors: Savolainen Reijo 
Published: January 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to elaborate the conceptual picture of the relationships between the affective and cognitive factors in information seeking and use.Design/methodology/approach– Conceptual analysis focusing on the ways in which the affective and cognitive factors and their interplay are approached in the Information Search Process model developed by Carol Kuhlthau, and the Social-Biological Information Technology model elaborated by Diane Nahl.Findings– Kuhlthau’s model approaches the cognitive factors (thoughts) and affective factors (feelings) and affective-cognitive factors (mood) as integral constituents of the six-stage information search process. Thoughts determine the valence of feelings (positive or negative), while mood opens or closes the range of possibilities in a search. Nahl’s taxonomic model defines the affective and cognitive factors as components of a biologically determined process serving the ends of adaptation to information ecology. The interplay of the above factors is conceptualized by focusing on their mutual roles in the cognitive and affective appraisal of information.Research limitations/implications– The findings are based on the comparison of two models only.Originality/value– So far, information scientists have largely ignored the study of the interplay between affective and cognitive factors in information seeking and use. The findings indicate that the examination of these factors together rather than separately holds a good potential to elaborate the holistic picture of information seeking and use.

AbstractAcne vulgaris is a common skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the pilosebaceous unit resulting from androgen‐induced increased sebum production, altered keratinization, inflammation and bacterial colonization of hair follicles by propionibacterium acnes. Our previous genome‐wide association study on acne has identified two new susceptibility loci. To search for potential gene–gene interactions and investigate the best‐fit association models for the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) from these interacting genes, we implemented logistic regression analysis in the combined sample of 2916 cases with severe acne and 4716 controls. The most significant association evidence was observed under an additive model for rs6896064 and under a dominant model the rest of these SNP. Significant interactions between these SNP were observed in this study: the SELL × MRPS36P2 (Padjusted = 4.15 × 10−10), TP63 × DDB2 (Padjusted = 7.62 × 10−08), DDB2 × CACNA1H (Padjusted = 1.89 × 10−07), ADAM19 × GNAI1 × CDH13 (Padjusted = 1.22 × 10−04) and ADAM19 × GABRG2 × GNAI2 × CDH13 (Pad justed = 6.33 × 10−05). These results may contribute to our understanding of acne genetic etiology and account for the additional risk of certain patients.
Gravimetric survey terrain correction using linear analytical approximation

Published: January 2015

ABSTRACTVarious methods for computing the terrain correction in a high‐precision gravity survey are currently available. The present paper suggests a new method that uses linear analytical terrain approximations. In this method, digital terrain models for the near‐station topographic masses are obtained by vectorizing scan images of large‐scaled topographic maps, and the terrain correction computation is carried out using a Fourier series approximation of discrete height values. Distant topography data are represented with the help of digital GTOPO30 and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission cartographic information. We formulate linear analytical approximations of terrain corrections for the whole region using harmonic functions as the basis of our computational algorithm. Stochastic modelling allows effective assessment of the accuracy of terrain correction computation. The Perm Krai case study has shown that our method makes full use of all the terrain data available from topographic maps and digital terrain models and delivers a digital terrain correction computed to a priori precision. Our computer methodology can be successfully applied for the terrain correction computation in different survey areas.
Flowering phenology and mating success of the heterodichogamous tree Machilus thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc (Lauraceae)

Published: January 2015

AbstractHeterodichogamy is defined as the presence of two flower morphs that exhibit male and female functions at different times among individuals within a population, and is regarded as an adaptation to promote outbreeding through enhanced intermorph pollination. In highly fragmented populations in which the morph frequency is biased, heterodichogamy may hamper population growth by reducing seed sets of the more numerous morph, and enhancing seed sets of the less numerous morph. In such situations, we hypothesize that individual plants experience greater seed sets if the opposite sexual morphs are nearby, and that individuals of a less numerous sexual morph have greater seed sets. After confirming heterodichogamy by observing flowering behavior and phenology, we tested these two hypotheses in a highly fragmented population of Machilus thunbergii, a putative heterodichogamous evergreen laurel tree. Our observations confirmed that M. thunbergii is heterodichogamous, consisting of two types of protogynous and bisexual flowers: a morning female (MF)–afternoon male morph and a morning male (MM)–afternoon female morph at the individual level. Sexual expression of the two morphs was highly synchronized and reciprocal. Investigation of seed‐set rates revealed greater rates of both morphs if the opposite morph was nearby. The less numerous sexual morph (MF) showed a greater seed‐set rate than the more numerous sexual morph (MM).

AbstractLysiphlebus testaceipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) is a generalist endoparasitoid attacking more than 100 aphid species. In L. testaceipes, wing fanning is a main male courtship display evoked by a female‐borne sex pheromone. However, no information is available on the characteristics and behavioral role of male fanning during courtship in this parasitoid. Here, the courtship behavior of a wild strain of L. testaceipes was quantified and the male wing fanning performances were analyzed through high‐speed video recordings and examined in relation to mating success. Courtship sequence of wild L. testaceipes did not substantially differ from that previously reported for other populations mass reared on aphids. We observed that the male courtship duration did not affect mating success. However, video analysis revealed that the males producing high‐frequency fanning signals achieved higher mating success over those that display low‐frequency fanning. Wing fanning before successful and unsuccessful courtship differed in amplitude of wing movements and alignment toward the mate, highlighting that frontal courtship positively influence the female mating decisions. This study increases knowledge on sexual behavior in a key parasitoid of aphids, highlighting the importance of wing fanning among the range of sensory modalities used in the sexual communication of L. testaceipes. From a practical point of view, this information is useful in L. testaceipes‐based biocontrol strategies, since it can help to establish parameters for quality checking of mass‐reared wasps over time.

AbstractPhotosensitizers in foods and beverages are important considerations when selecting packaging materials. Chlorophyll is found at low concentrations in many food products. The objective of this study was to determine the photosensitizing effect of chlorophyll on soybean oil (SO) using broad‐spectrum light and 3 visible wavelength regions of light. SO with added chlorophyll (0, 1, or 2 μg chlorophyll added/mL SO) was exposed to 5 light conditions, using a photochemical reactor (10 °C; 4 h). Light treatments included broad‐spectrum (BS; no filter; 157.6 ± 4.7 mW intensity), 430 nm (10 nm; 1.8 ± 0.7 mW), and 660 nm (10 nm; 0.332 ± 0.05 mW) wavelengths compared to a no‐light control. Chlorophyll a (but not b) absorbs light in the selected visible wavelength regions. Chlorophyll degradation was evaluated. Oxidative changes in SO were assessed by peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substances (TBARS) assay, which measures malondialdehyde (MDA). Chlorophyll was completely degraded at BS and 430 nm conditions and degraded to 36% of original concentration at 660 nm wavelength. PV and MDA concentration significantly increased with chlorophyll addition (1 μg/mL) at BS and 430 nm wavelengths compared to no‐light control. Lower light intensity at 660 nm initiated oxidation reactions as measured by PV, but not significantly. There were differences in PV (BS, 430 nm) and TBARS (BS) between the no‐light and light‐exposed SO without chlorophyll added. There was very little effect at 450 nm. This study suggests that broad‐spectrum light and at least light wavelengths at or near 430 nm and 660 nm excite chlorophyll, resulting in initiation of oxidation reactions. Packaging material selection for foods and beverages should consider blocking excitation wavelengths of photosensitizing molecules, including chlorophyll, to protect product quality.

Published: January 2015

AbstractAlicyclobacillus is a causative agent of spoilage in pasteurized and heat‐treated apple juice products. Differentiating between this genus and the closely related Bacillus is crucially important. In this study, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) was used to identify and discriminate between 4 Alicyclobacillus strains and 4 Bacillus isolates inoculated individually into apple juice. Loading plots over the range of 1350 and 1700 cm−1 reflected the most distinctive biochemical features of Bacillus and Alicyclobacillus. Multivariate statistical methods (for example, principal component analysis and soft independent modeling of class analogy) were used to analyze the spectral data. Distinctive separation of spectral samples was observed. This study demonstrates that FT‐IR spectroscopy in combination with multivariate analysis could serve as a rapid and effective tool for fruit juice industry to differentiate between Bacillus and Alicyclobacillus and to distinguish between species belonging to these 2 genera.

Published: January 2015

AbstractWe present the first reported case of lung large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) with spontaneous regression followed by progression. An 85‐year‐old woman presented with a 2.8‐cm nodule in the right upper lung lobe on chest computed tomography. After four months, the tumor decreased to 1.8 cm and remained unchanged in size for the next three months, but it grew to 8.6 cm and invaded the mediastinal fat tissue after approximately one year. Ultrasound echo‐guided percutaneous biopsy revealed the tumor to be LCNEC. The patient underwent a right upper lobectomy with lymph node dissection. She had a good postoperative course with no complications. Physicians and surgeons should be aware that radiographic regression of a pulmonary nodule does not necessarily exclude the possibility of lung cancer.

AbstractAlmond witches'‐broom (AlmWB) disease, associated with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma phoenicium’, is an emerging threat with real risk of introduction in Euro‐Mediterranean Countries. Its rapid spread over large geographical areas suggests the presence of efficient insect vector(s). In the present work, a survey on cixiids was carried out in Lebanon in the years 2010–2013 in AlmWB‐infested almond and nectarine orchards. Insects were collected by means of different methods, identified with a stereo microscope, and analysed for phytoplasma identification through 16S rDNA PCR‐based amplification and nucleotide sequence analyses. Preliminary transmission trials were performed with the most abundant species. A list of the cixiid genera and species present in the studied area is given as well as some information about their biology. ‘Ca. Phytoplasma phoenicium’ strains were detected in the genera Cixius, Tachycixius, Eumecurus and Hyalesthes. Preliminary trials revealed that Tachycixius specimens were able to transmit the detected strains to healthy peach potted seedlings. Further studies are required to better clarify the taxonomic status and the bio‐ethology of collected planthoppers and deeply study their role as phytoplasma vectors.

Published: January 2015

ObjectivePost‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is considered a multidimensional disorder, with distinct symptom clusters including re‐experiencing, avoidance/numbing, hyperarousal, and most recently depersonalization/derealization. However, the extent of differing intrinsic network connectivity underlying these symptoms has not been fully investigated. We therefore investigated the degree of association between resting connectivity of the salience (SN), default mode (DMN), and central executive (CEN) networks and PTSD symptom severity.MethodUsing resting‐state functional MRI data from PTSD participants (n = 21), we conducted multivariate analyses to test whether connectivity of extracted independent components varied as a function of re‐experiencing, avoidance/numbing, hyperarousal, and depersonalization/derealization.ResultsHyperarousal symptoms were associated with reduced connectivity of posterior insula/superior temporal gyrus within SN [peak Montréal Neurological Institute (MNI): −44, −8, 0, t = −4.2512, k = 40]. Depersonalization/derealization severity was associated with decreased connectivity of perigenual anterior cingulate/ventromedial prefrontal cortex within ventral anterior DMN (peak MNI: 8, 40, −4; t = −3.8501; k = 15) and altered synchrony between two DMN components and between DMN and CEN.ConclusionOur results are consistent with prior research showing intrinsic network disruptions in PTSD and imply heterogeneous connectivity patterns underlying PTSD symptom dimensions. These findings suggest possible biomarkers for PTSD and its dissociative subtype.

Published: January 2015

SummaryThe aim of this study was to investigate the chemical coding of mammary gland‐projecting SChG neurons using double‐labelling immunohistochemistry. Earlier observation showed that after injection of the retrograde tracer fast blue (FB) into the second, right thoracic mamma, FB+ mammary gland‐projecting neurons were found in Th1‐3, Th9‐14 and L1‐4 right SChG. The greatest number of FB+ nerve cell bodies was observed in Th10 (approx. 843) and Th11 (approx. 567). Neurons projecting to the last right abdominal mamma were found in L1‐4 SChG. The greatest number of FB+ neurons was observed in L2 (approx. 1200). Immunohistochemistry revealed that the vast majority of FB+ mammary‐projecting neurons contained immunoreactivities to TH (96.97%) and/or DßH (95.92%). Many TH/DßH‐positive neurons stained for SOM (41.5%) or NPY (33.2%), and less numerous nerve cells expressed VIP (16.9%). This observation strongly corresponds to the results of previous studies concerning the immunohistochemical characterization of nerve fibres supplying the porcine mammary gland.
Correlation between corneal and ambient temperature with particular focus on polar conditions
Authors: Slettedal Jon Klokk , Ringvold Amund 
Published: January 2015

AbstractPurposeTo examine the relationship between human corneal and environmental temperature.MethodsAn infrared camera was used to measure the corneal surface temperature in a group of healthy volunteers as well as in an experimental setting with donor corneas and an artificial anterior chamber, employing circulating saline at +37°C. Liquid nitrogen was used to obtain a very low temperature in the experimental setting. High ambient temperature measurements were performed in a sauna.ResultsIn healthy volunteers, the cornea required at least 20–30 min to adapt to change in ambient temperature. The relationship between corneal and external temperature was relatively linear. At the two extremes, +83°C and −40°C, the corneal temperature was +42°C and +25.1°C, respectively. In the experimental setting, corneal temperature was +24.3°C at air temperature −40°C.ConclusionA rather stable aqueous humour temperature of +37°C and high thermal conductivity of the corneal tissue prevent corneal frostbite even at extremely low ambient temperatures.

SummaryOnce‐weekly administration of bortezomib has reduced bortezomib‐induced peripheral neuropathy without affecting response rates, but this has only been demonstrated prospectively in three‐ and four‐ drug combinations. We report a phase II trial of alternate dosing and schedule of bortezomib and dexamethasone in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients who are not eligible for or refused autologous stem cell transplantation. Bortezomib 1·6 mg/m2 intravenously was given once‐weekly for six cycles, together with dexamethasone 40 mg on the day of and day after bortezomib. Fifty patients were enrolled; 58% did not require any dose modification. The majority of patients had multiple co‐morbidities, including cardiovascular (76%) and renal insufficiency (54%), and the median number of medications prior to enrollment was 13. Of all evaluable patients, the overall response rate was 79% and at least 45% had at least a very good partial response. The median time to first response was 1·3 months (range, 0·25–2·4 months). The progression‐free and overall survivals were 8 months and 46·5 months, respectively. Twenty‐four percent developed worsening neuropathy. We conclude that alternate dosing and scheduling of bortezomib and dexamethasone is both safe and effective for management of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in frail patients.
