Authors: Veselka Livia , Schermer Julie Aitken , Petrides K. V. , Cherkas Lynn F. , Spector Tim D. , Vernon Philip A. 
Published: October 2009

AbstractThe purpose of the present study was to determine if a general factor of personality (GFP) could be extracted from the six dimensions of the HEXACO model and four factors of trait emotional intelligence. Participants were 1,192 pairs of twins (666 MZ pairs, 526 DZ pairs) between the ages of 19 to 86 years, who completed the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire — Short Form and the HEXACO Personality Inventory — Revised. Principal components analysis yielded a strong GFP accounting for 33% of the variance, on which all variables with the exception of honesty-humility from the HEXACO showed moderate to large loadings. Behavioral genetic (BG) analyses revealed that individual differences in the GFP were entirely attributable to additive genetic and non-shared environmental factors — results that are in accord with previous BG analyses of a GFP. The present study adds to the body of evidence in support of a heritable GFP but an alternative perspective is also discussed.
Parental Alcoholism and Offspring Behavior Problems: Findings in Australian Children of Twins
Authors: Waldron Mary , Martin Nicholas G. , Heath Andrew C. 
Published: October 2009

AbstractWe examine the impact of rearing by an alcoholic parent on risk for child behavior problems using data on 2492 offspring drawn from two ongoing studies of children of female and male same- and opposite-sex twin pairs. Results of regression models predicting child behavior problems from parent and co-twin lifetime history of alcohol use disorder (AUD) provide support for genetic but not environmental transmission of externalizing and a measure of total problem behaviors. Results for internalizing behavior were inconclusive with respect to transmission of risk.

AbstractVisual impairment is a leading cause of morbidity and poor quality of life in our community. Unravelling the mechanisms underpinning important blinding diseases could allow preventative or curative steps to be implemented. Twin siblings provide a unique opportunity in biology to discover genes associated with numerous eye diseases and ocular biometry. Twins are particularly useful for quantitative trait analysis through genome-wide association and linkage studies. Although many studies involving twins rely on twin registries, we present our approach to the Twins Eye Study in Tasmania to provide insight into possible recruitment strategies, expected participation rates and potential examination strategies that can be considered by other researchers for similar studies. Five separate avenues for cohort recruitment were adopted: (1) piggy-backing existing studies where twins had been recruited, (2) utilizing the national twin registry, (3) word-of-mouth and local media publicity, (4) directly approaching schools, and finally (5) collaborating with other research groups studying twins.

Published: October 2009

AbstractThe associations between social support and depression, and between stress and depression have been the subject of considerable research, and although this has included longitudinal designs, these have rarely controlled for genetic effects that mediate these associations. The sample comprised 7,356 female and 4,882 male participants aged 18–95 from the Australian NHMRC Twin Registry (ATR). Of these, between 100 and 324 female pairs and between 41 and 169 male pairs, depending on the measure, were monozygotic (MZ) pairs discordant for depression. We use the co-twin control design in combination with prospective analyses to explore the association between a composite of predictors (perceived social support, stress, and support × stress) and depression. With familial effects included, both perceived support and stress were antecedents to, and sequelae of, depression, but no stress-buffering occurred. With familial effects controlled, stress was a sequela of a prior depressive episode, and neither lack of support nor stress were antecedents to depression, though their interaction approached significance for males. The male twin who later became depressed had previously reported lower perceived support in the face of multiple stressors compared to his co-twin who did not become depressed. We show that associations commonly observed with prospective designs are partly due to familial factors.
Spatial variability in ecological attributes of the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa

Published: October 2009

Abstract
Assessment of ecosystem natural variability is a major goal in ecology, not only to better understand fluctuations, but also as a basis for distinguishing such natural variability from changes caused by human activities. We document here spatial variability of several Cymodocea nodosa attributes relevant to ecosystem functioning and indicative of ecosystem health at three localities near its upper and lower latitudinal distribution limits. At each locality, we chose three healthy and unaltered meadows, and, at each meadow, three sampling areas. The attributes measured were shoot density, biomass allocation to leaves and roots, shoot size, carbohydrate reserves, element content (C, N, P, S) and stable isotope ratios (δ13C, δ15N and δ34S). Geographical differences (among localities) accounted for between 65 and 90% of the total variability, while variability within localities (both between meadows and within meadows) accounted for substantial but lower contributions in most attributes. This suggests a relatively important degree of geographic plasticity in the attributes examined. Results presented here contribute to our basic knowledge of C. nodosa and its variability over large areas, which can be especially relevant for coastal monitoring and management programs.
New Methodology for Source Characterization in Pulse Velocity Testing
Authors: Tallavó Fernando , Cascante Giovanni , Pandey Mahesh D. 
Published: October 2009

Abstract
The pulse velocity test (PVT) is an ASTM standard for the measurement of compressional wave velocities in geomaterials. The PVT is based only on the first arrival of the wave. Full-waveform analysis can be used to measure the variation in geomaterial properties with frequency but requires the dynamic characteristics of the transducers. This paper presents a new methodology for the dynamic characterization of ultrasonic transmitters based on experimental and numerical results. Different types of excitation pulses (input signals) are used, and their theoretical Fourier spectra are computed. The methodology is demonstrated using a piezoelectric accelerometer to measure the frequency response function of an ultrasonic transmitter (UT) (50 kHz). The complex exponential method is used to extract the dynamic properties of the transmitter from transient time signals. Experimental results show that this methodology can be used for the dynamic characterization of ultrasonic transmitters. Results from finite element numerical simulations of wave propagation agree with laboratory results.
Tamales on the Fourth of July: The Transnational Parish of Coeneo, Michoacán
Authors: Murillo Luis E. 
Published: October 2009

AbstractThis article traces the significant yet largely unexplored experience of transnationalism in the lived religious experiences of Mexican and Mexican American Catholics by focusing on the parish as a central unit of analysis. Within this analysis, the parish unit is rethought as an analytical unit in two important regards. First, the way in which parish life in rural Mexico has been predominately conceptualized as one whose rhythm revolves around a traditional ritual calendar centered on community celebrations of particular religious holidays and localized votive devotions needs to be replaced. Based on research from an ongoing historical case study (1890-present) of a central Mexican parish, Nuestra Señora del Rosario in Coeneo, Michoacán, and on other parishes, the rhythm of parish life has clearly shifted to celebrations of marriages and baptisms. These religious celebrations of marriages and baptisms in Mexico have become the focal point of identity and community in this transnational Mexican and Mexican American experience. These sacraments of baptism and marriage have multiple meanings that not only include universal Catholic doctrines but also notions of family, community, and a particular appreciation for the sacralized landscape of their Mexican parish. Second, notions of parish boundaries as fixed and parish affiliation as singular must be reconsidered because many Mexicans and Mexican Americans living in the United States consider themselves to be active members in at least two parishes: one in Mexico and one or more in the United States.
The Bible, the First Amendment, and the Public Schools in Odessa, Texas
Authors: Chancey Mark A. 
Published: October 2009

AbstractBible courses in public schools are receiving a level of attention not witnessed in decades, and their increased numbers create greater potential for local conflicts and lawsuits over whether they promote religion and violate the First Amendment. Such courses are relatively understudied, and their contents and the paths by which schools decide to offer them are largely unknown. One district that has experienced both conflict and lawsuit over its Bible course is Ector County Independent School District in Odessa, Texas, where a 2005–2008 dispute pitted townspeople and national organizations against each other. This article uses the Odessa controversy as a case study to demonstrate how Bible courses provide a unique window into the confusion found at the intersection of American public education, the study of religion, and church-state relations. Drawing upon school district documents, recordings of school board meetings, journalistic accounts, legal documents, press releases, Bible curricula produced by the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools and the Bible Literacy Project, and course materials from district high schools, it traces the development of the conflict. It examines the role that appeals to the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause played in the controversy, confusion over what is legally acceptable in public schools, particularly in regard to historicity issues, and the difficulty in developing a genuinely nonsectarian course. It contextualizes the Odessa debate within Christian Right efforts to influence public schools and larger American society, efforts often grounded in the claim that America is a Christian nation. Controversies such as Odessa's illustrate the tensions produced in American society by competing notions of religious freedom and American identity.
The International Social Turn: Unity and Brotherhood at the World's Parliament of Religions, Chicago, 1893
Authors: Kittelstrom Amy 
Published: October 2009

AbstractWhen the World's Parliament of Religions convened at the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893, it brought together delegates of Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Islam, and several varieties of Christianity. Recent critics of the event have noted that the overwhelmingly Protestant organizers imposed their own culturally specific views of what constitutes religion on the non-Christian participants. But the guiding refrain of the Parliament—the unity of God and the brotherhood of man—reflects not only the specifically Social Gospel theology of the Protestant organizers but also a much wider consensus on the proper character, scope, and function of religion in a modernizing, globalizing, secularizing world. Buddhists from Japan, Hindus and Jains from India, and Buddhists from Ceylon actively participated in this international turn toward social religion as a way of pursuing their own culturally specific claims of distinct national identity, while Jews and Catholics in the United States equally adeptly claimed ownership of this central rhetoric of social religion in order to penetrate the American cultural mainstream.
Review Essay: Religion, War, and the Meaning of America
Authors: Stout Harry S. 
Published: October 2009

AbstractThe norm of American national life is war. From colonial origins to the present, Americans have never seen a generation that was not preoccupied with wars, threats of wars, and military interventions on foreign soils. This is not something Americans—or American historians—are trained to think about. In American memory and mythology, the United States is, at heart, a nation of peace; it unleashes the quiver of war as a last resort and only when pushed. In like manner religion, especially what we now call evangelical Protestantism, has been a conspicuous presence in American wars from the seventeenth century to the present. American wars are sacred wars and American religion, with some notable exceptions, is martial at the very core of its being. The ties between war and religion are symbiotic and the two grew up inextricably intertwined.

Authors: Giannoglou George D , Antoniadis Antonios P , Chatzizisis Yiannis S , Louridas George E 
Published: October 2009

Background:Recent advances in diagnosis and treatment have increased the life expectancy of patients with congenital heart disease.Methods:To investigate the prevalence of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) in a large registry of patients over a 20-year period, we retrospectively assessed data of 14,012 males and 4,461 females who underwent clinically indicated cardiac catheterization from 1984 to 2003.Results:ACHD was recorded in 234 subjects aged from 18 to 66 years, [95 males (40.7%) and 139 females (59.3%)]. Females were more likely to present with ACHD than males (p<0.001). Atrial septal defect was the most common defect (43.3%) followed by partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (12.0%), pulmonary valve stenosis (11.3%) ventricular septal defect (8.0%), coarctation of aorta (5.5%) patent ductus arteriosus (4.0%) and Fallot’s tetralogy (3.3%). Atrial septal defect was more common in females (p<0.01), while pulmonary valve stenosis was more frequent in males (p<0.05). No difference across sexes was found in the other forms of ACHD. Females with ACHD were significantly older than males at the time of catheterization (median age 41 years, interquartile range 26 to 53 years vs. median age 35 years, interquartile range 22 to 48 years, p<0.05).Conclusions:In adulthood ACHD is found more commonly in females and is diagnosed later in life than in males. Atrial septal defect is the most prevalent form of ACHD and occurs most commonly in females.
Forbidden intervals
Authors: Foreman Matthew 
Published: October 2009

Many classical statements of set theory are settled by the existence of generic elementary embeddings that are analogous the elementary embeddings posited by large cardinals. [2] The embeddings analogous to measurable cardinals are determined by uniform, κ-complete precipitous ideals on cardinals κ. Stronger embeddings, analogous to those originating from supercompact or huge cardinals are encoded by normal fine ideals on sets such as [κ]<λ or [κ]λ.The embeddings generated from these ideals are limited in ways analogous to conventional large cardinals. Explicitly, if j: V → M is a generic elementary embedding with critical point κ and λ supnЄωjn(κ) and the forcing yielding j is λ-saturated then j“λ+ ∉ M. (See [2].)Ideals that yield embeddings that are analogous to strongly compact cardinals have more puzzling behavior and the analogy is not as straightforward. Some natural ideal properties of this kind have been shown to be inconsistent:Theorem 1 (Kunen). There is no ω2-saturated, countably complete uniform ideal on any cardinal in the interval [ℵω, ℵω).Generic embeddings that arise from countably complete, ω2-saturated ideals have the property that sup . So the Kunen result is striking in that it apparently allows strong ideals to exist above the conventional large cardinal limitations. The main result of this paper is that it is consistent (relative to a huge cardinal) that such ideals exist.
Incompatible Ω-Complete Theories
Authors: Koellner Peter , Woodin W. Hugh 
Published: October 2009

AbstractIn 1985 the second author showed that if there is a proper class of measurable Woodin cardinals andandare generic extensions ofVsatisfying CH thenandagree on all Σ12-statements. In terms of the strong logic Ω-logic this can be reformulated by saying that under the above large cardinal assumption ZFC + CH is Ω-complete for Σ12. Moreover, CH is the unique Σ12-statement with this feature in the sense that any other Σ12-statement with this feature is Ω-equivalent to CH over ZFC. It is natural to look for other strengthenings of ZFC that have an even greater degree of Ω-completeness. For example, one can ask for recursively enumerable axiomsAsuch that relative to large cardinal axioms ZFC +Ais Ω-complete for all of third-order arithmetic. Going further, for each specifiable segmentVλof the universe of sets (for example, one might takeVλto be the least level that satisfies there is a proper class of huge cardinals), one can ask for recursively enumerable axiomsAsuch that relative to large cardinal axioms ZFC +Ais Ω-complete for the theory ofVλ. If such theories exist, extend one another, and are unique in the sense that any other such theoryBwith the same level of Ω-completeness asAis actually Ω-equivalent toAover ZFC, then this would show that there is a unique Ω-complete picture of the successive fragments of the universe of sets and it would make for a very strong case for axioms complementing large cardinal axioms. In this paper we show that uniqueness must fail. In particular, we show that if there is one such theory that Ω-implies CH then there is another that Ω-implies ¬-CH.
Canonical rules
Authors: Jeřábek Emil 
Published: October 2009

AbstractWe develop canonical rules capable of axiomatizing all systems of multiple-conclusion rules overK4 orIPC, by extension of the method of canonical formulas by Zakharyaschev [37]. We use the framework to give an alternative proof of the known analysis of admissible rules in basic transitive logics, which additionally yields the following dichotomy: any canonical rule is either admissible in the logic, or it is equivalent to an assumption-free rule. Other applications of canonical rules include a generalization of the Blok–Esakia theorem and the theory of modal companions to systems of multiple-conclusion rules or (unitary structural global) consequence relations, and a characterization of splittings in the lattices of consequence relations over monomodal or superintuitionistic logics with the finite model property.
Approachability at the second successor of a singular cardinal
Authors: Gitik Moti , Krueger John 
Published: October 2009

AbstractWe prove that if μ is a regular cardinal and ℙ is a μ-centered forcing poset, then ℙ forces that (I[μ++[)V generates I[μ++] modulo clubs. Using this result, we construct models in which the approachability property fails at the successor of a singular cardinal. We also construct models in which the properties of being internally club and internally approachable are distinct for sets of size the successor of a singular cardinal.
Promptness does not imply superlow cuppability
Authors: Diamondstone David 
Published: October 2009

AbstractA classical theorem in computability is that every promptly simple set can be cupped in the Turing degrees to some complete set by a low c.e. set. A related question due to A. Nies is whether every promptly simple set can be cupped by a superlow c.e. set, i.e. one whose Turing jump is truth-table reducible to the halting problem ∅′. A negative answer to this question is provided by giving an explicit construction of a promptly simple set that is not superlow cuppable. This problem relates to effective randomness and various lowness notions.
Independently axiomatizable ℒω1,ω theories
Authors: Hjorth Greg , Souldatos Ioannis A. 
Published: October 2009

AbstractIn partial answer to a question posed by Arnie Miller [4] and X. Caicedo [2] we obtain sufficient conditions for an ℒω1,ω theory to have an independent axiomatization. As a consequence we obtain two corollaries: The first, assuming Vaught's Conjecture, every ℒω1,ω theory in a countable language has an independent axiomatization. The second, this time outright in ZFC, every intersection of a family of Borel sets can be formed as the intersection of a family of independent Borel sets.
On computable self-embeddings of computable linear orderings

Published: October 2009

AbstractWe solve a longstanding question of Rosenstein, and make progress toward solving a long-standing open problem in the area of computable linear orderings by showing that every computableη-like linear ordering without an infinite stronglyη-like interval has a computable copy without nontrivial computable self-embedding.The precise characterization of those computable linear orderings which have computable copies without nontrivial computable self-embedding remains open.
Rotating disk electrode study of electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbate at Prussian blue modified electrode
Authors: Araminaitė Rūta , Garjonytė Rasa , Malinauskas Albertas 
Published: October 2009

Abstract
Electrooxidation of ascorbate has been studied with the use of a rotating disk electrode. The results obtained show an efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbate at the Prussian blue (PB) modified electrode to proceed in solutions of pH 5.5 and 7.3. Depending on solution pH, the onset potential for ascorbate electrooxidation at PB modified electrode appears shifted by 0.1–0.2 V to lower values, as compared to an unmodified glassy carbon electrode. Within the electrode potential window of 0.3 to 0.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl, and electrode rotation velocity of 50–2000 rpm, the catalytic current obeys Koutecky-Levich equation at a submillimolar ascorbate concentration. Kinetic current densities, obtained from the data treatment, are higher for a pH 5.5 solution, and also at higher electrode potential.
