Authors: Dunst Carl J. , Raab Melinda , Trivette Carol M. , Wilson Linda L. , Hamby Deborah W. , Parkey Cindy 
Published: October 2010

AbstractFindings from 2 studies of the relationship between response-contingent child behavior and child, caregiver–child, and caregiver behavior not directly associated with child contingency learning are described. The participants were 19 children with significant developmental delays and their mothers in 1 study and 22 children with significant developmental delays and their teachers in the second study. Caregivers engaged the children in learning games characterized by behavior-based contingencies for 15 weeks. Research staff observed the children and their caregivers in everyday routines and activities and rated child and caregiver behavior while the children and caregivers were not playing the games. Results from both studies showed that the degree of response-contingent responding during the games was related to child and caregiver behavior, not the focus of the contingency learning opportunities afforded the children. Implications for practice are described.
Seasonal movements, home ranges, and territoriality of male swamp rabbits in southeastern Arkansas

Published: October 2010

Abstract
Swamp rabbits (Sylvilagus aquaticus) are of conservation concern throughout portions of its range, and information regarding spatial organization is important for proper species management. Little is known about spacing patterns of swamp rabbits; few studies have directly investigated spatial patterns, particularly related to territoriality. We used radio-telemetry to assess seasonal (dormant, growth, and senescent) home range sizes, seasonal and monthly movements, and territoriality among male swamp rabbits. Mean seasonal home range sizes ranged from 3.8 to 8.4 ha using the 95% fixed kernel density estimator and no differences among seasons were observed. Swamp rabbits moved less during the senescent season than the growth season. Mean seasonal dyad overlap ranged from 7.5 to 13.8%, and no differences were found among seasons. Overlap of all male radio-collared swamp rabbits ranged from 16.7 to 29.8% across seasons. Male swamp rabbits demonstrated non-territoriality during two of the three seasons based on spatial overlap of core use areas. Home range size might not be the best indicator of habitat quality for male swamp rabbits and management efforts aimed at habitat restoration or reintroduction should consider that some swamp rabbits could require more area, even on sites considered to be high quality.
Kommentierende Analyse zu Liberatus, Breviarium 1-7
Authors: Drecoll Volker Henning 
Published: October 2010

ABSTRACT
The article offers a detailed analysis of the Latin text of the Breviarium, chapters 1-7, in the Schwartz-edition. The list of content, inserted directly befor the Breviarium in the collectio Sangermanensis cannot be affirmed as authentic (but it seems to be elder than the collectio Sangermanensis). The title and the prooemium offer short hints to person and work of Liberatus. The use of sources in the following chapters offers serious problems and cannot be described as a coherent, consequent method. Liberatus uses the Historia tripartita sometimes verbally, sometimes only summarizing it. Sometimes he inserts even further informations of unknown origin. And he knows an alia lectio of the Historia tripartita, presumably an otherwise unknown version of Socrates' Historia ecclesiastica. For Apollinaris he offers an interesting image of his heresy, but for Paul of Samosata he simply uses the polemical strategy started by Eusebius of Dorylaeum and Caelestinus of Rome against Nestorius. The inthronisation of Maximinus is located on a wrong chronological place by Liberatus, so Liberatus is not always sure in his understanding of the complexe processes of the early 5th century.
Das Bild der Kaiser bei Liberatus
Authors: Leppin Hartmut 
Published: October 2010

ABSTRACT
The image of the emperors sketched by Liberatus is interesting in comparison with other church historians, e.g. of the 5th century. From Liberatus' point of view the emperors do not play an active role nor they have clear theological positions. Instead of this, the best emperor has the best advisors. The emperors seem to act only if necessary, and wrong or bad decisions can regularly lead back to wrong or bad advisors. While the theological position of the emperors seems to be not so important, the emperors are not responsible for the heavy struggles and controversies in the church.
Tendenziöse Historiographie bei Liberatus: Von Proterius bis Athanasios II
Authors: Bleckmann Bruno 
Published: October 2010

ABSTRACT
The comparison of Liberatus with Ps.Zacharias Rhetor shows considerable differences. Liberatus seems to use an own source, probably the Graecum Alexandriae scriptum. Since Liberatus seems to be quite dependent in his use of his sources, the tendency that is different from Ps.Zacharias seems to go back to this source. Thus Liberatus is an important witness for such an Alexandrian counterpart of Ps.Zacharias.

ObjectiveTo make the specificity of fluorodesoxyglucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) precise, in the follow-up of patients with adrenal cancer.DesignThis single centre retrospective study assessed the frequency and outcome of 18FDG uptake in the remaining adrenal glands after adrenalectomy for adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) or malignant phaeochromocytoma (PH).ResultsTwo hundred and ten 18FDG PET scans in 62 ACC patients, all under 1,ortho-1,para′-dichloro-diphenyl-dichloro-ethane (o,p′-DDD) treatment, and 30 18FDG PET scans in 8 PH patients were reviewed. Abnormal 18FDG uptake in the remaining adrenal glands was found in 19 (8%) 18FDG PET scans, in 10 (16%) ACC patients and in none of the PH patients. 18FDG uptake was found in 4% of the patients before the onset of o,p′-DDD, in 29% of the patients 0–6 months after the onset of o,p′-DDD (P=0.05), in 26% of the patients 6–12 months (P=0.072) after the onset of o,p′-DDD and in 14% of the patients 12–24 months after the onset of o,p′-DDD. It was never found later than 24 months after the onset of o,p′-DDD. Adrenal glands with 18FDG uptake were normal on computed tomography scans with i.v. contrast agent in all cases. 18FDG uptake in the remaining adrenal glands decreased and disappeared on subsequent FDG PET imaging in eight of the patients with follow-up available.Conclusions18FDG uptake in the remaining adrenal glands occurred in 14–29% of the patients followed for ACC within 24 months after adrenalectomy and onset of o,p′-DDD. This uptake is transient and should not be considered as suspicious for malignancy.
The Complexity of Classification Problems for Models of Arithmetic
Authors: Coskey Samuel , Kossak Roman 
Published: October 2010

AbstractWe observe that the classification problem for countable models of arithmetic is Borel complete. On the other hand, the classification problems for finitely generated models of arithmetic and for recursively saturated models of arithmetic are Borel; we investigate the precise complexity of each of these. Finally, we show that the classification problem for pairs of recursively saturated models and for automorphisms of a fixed recursively saturated model are Borel complete.

OBJECTIVE
To understand relationships between exercise training-mediated improvements in insulin sensitivity (SI) and changes in circulating concentrations of metabolic intermediates, hormones, and inflammatory mediators.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Targeted mass spectrometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to quantify metabolic intermediates, hormones, and inflammatory markers at baseline, after 6 months of exercise training, and 2 weeks after exercise training cessation (n = 53). A principal components analysis (PCA) strategy was used to relate changes in these intermediates to changes in SI.

RESULTS
PCA reduced the number of intermediates from 90 to 24 factors composed of biologically related components. With exercise training, improvements in SI were associated with reductions in by-products of fatty acid oxidation and increases in glycine and proline (P &lt; 0.05, R2 = 0.59); these relationships were retained 15 days after cessation of exercise training (P &lt; 0.05, R2 = 0.34).

CONCLUSIONS
These observations support prior observations in animal models that exercise training promotes more efficient mitochondrial β-oxidation and challenges current hypotheses regarding exercise training and glycine metabolism.

Multiple-soliton solutions and multiple singular soliton solutions are formally derived for each coupled KdV equation. The resonance phenomenon of each model will be examined.
Naive Human T Cells Are Activated and Proliferate in Response to the Heme Oxygenase-1 Inhibitor Tin Mesoporphyrin
Authors: Burt Trevor D. , Seu Lillian , Mold Jeffrey E. , Kappas Attallah , McCune Joseph M. 
Published: October 2010

Abstract
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and its catabolic by-products have potent anti-inflammatory activity in many models of disease. It is not known, however, if HO-1 also plays a role in the homeostatic control of T cell activation and proliferation. We demonstrate here that the HO-1 inhibitor tin mesoporphyrin (SnMP) induces activation, proliferation, and maturation of naive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells via interactions with CD14+ monocytes in vitro. This response is dependent upon interactions of T cells with MHC class I and II on the surface of CD14+ monocytes. Furthermore, CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells were able to suppress this proliferation, even though their suppressive activity was itself impaired by SnMP. Given the magnitude of the Ag-independent T cell response induced by SnMP, we speculate that HO-1 plays an important role in dampening nonspecific T cell activation. Based on these findings, we propose a potential role for HO-1 in the control of naive T cell homeostatic proliferation.

Abstract
LRRK2 was previously identified as a defective gene in Parkinson’s disease, and it is also located in a risk region for Crohn’s disease. In this study, we aim to determine whether LRRK2 could be involved in immune responses. We show that LRRK2 expression is enriched in human immune cells. LRRK2 is an IFN-γ target gene, and its expression increased in intestinal tissues upon Crohn’s disease inflammation. In inflamed intestinal tissues, LRRK2 is detected in the lamina propria macrophages, B-lymphocytes, and CD103-positive dendritic cells. Furthermore, LRRK2 expression enhances NF-κB–dependent transcription, suggesting its role in immune response signaling. Endogenous LRRK2 rapidly translocates near bacterial membranes, and knockdown of LRRK2 interferes with reactive oxygen species production during phagocytosis and bacterial killing. These observations indicate that LRRK2 is an IFN-γ target gene, and it might be involved in signaling pathways relevant to Crohn’s disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory morbidity, resulting in hospitalization for bronchiolitis in some infected infants that is associated with wheeze in later life. Genetic factors are known to affect the severity of the sequelae after RSV infection, but the complexity of the temporal and genetic effects makes it difficult to analyze this response in studies in man. Therefore, we developed a murine genetic model to analyze the sequelae occurring after RSV infection in early life. Haplotype-based genetic analysis of interstrain differences in severity identified the MHC as an important genetic determinant. This was confirmed by analysis of responses in congenic mice with different MHC haplotypes. We also found that susceptible strains had high CD8 levels during secondary infection. Analysis of first filial generation, second filial generation, and back-cross progeny produced by intercrossing resistant (H-2k, C3H/HeN) and sensitive (H-2b, BALB/c) strains indicated that susceptibility to sequelae after RSV infection was dominantly inherited but also segregated in a non-MHC–dependent manner. Thus, MHC haplotype and its effect on CD8 cell response is an important determinant of the outcome of neonatal RSV infection.

Published: October 2010

Abstract
Alveolar macrophages are essential for clearing bacteria from the alveolar surface and preventing microbe-induced infections. It is well documented that smokers have an increased incidence of infections, in particular lung infections. Alveolar macrophages accumulate in smokers’ lungs, but they have a functional immune deficit. In this study, we identify an autophagy defect in smokers’ alveolar macrophages. Smokers’ alveolar macrophages accumulate both autophagosomes and p62, a marker of autophagic flux. The decrease in the process of autophagy leads to impaired protein aggregate clearance, dysfunctional mitochondria, and defective delivery of bacteria to lysosomes. This study identifies the autophagy pathway as a potential target for interventions designed to decrease infection rates in smokers and possibly in individuals with high environmental particulate exposure.

Published: October 2010

AbstractThe etiology of sensorineural hearing loss is multifactorial which makes the diagnosis a challenging exercise and often an unsolved mystery. Whilst pure tone audiometry is a mandatory investigation, others such as laboratory and radiology are based on clinical evaluation. This paper puts forward a protocol for the investigation for sensorineural hearing loss.

Published: October 2010

AbstractAn ionic‐liquid‐assisted method is developed for the preparation of noble metal nanoparticles supported on multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The addition of a small amount of ionic liquids to the reaction solution leads to a production of well‐crystallized metallic nanoparticles with tunable diameter and narrow size distribution, uniformly dispersed on MWCNTs. The obtained Pt nanoparticles supported on MWCNTs show superior catalytic performance. Both the catalytic activity and stability for the electrochemical oxidation of methanol is remarkably improved. The uniform size of Pt nanoparticles in the composites makes it possible to study the size dependence of the catalytic performance in the selective oxidation of glycerol. The turnover frequency (TOF) has the maximum value at the size of ≈4 nm and the selectivity to glyceraldehyde increases with the particle size.
Nanosheets of Oxides and Hydroxides: Ultimate 2D Charge‐Bearing Functional Crystallites
Authors: Ma Renzhi , Sasaki Takayoshi 
Published: October 2010

AbstractA wide variety of cation‐exchangeable layered transition metal oxides and their relatively rare counterparts, anion‐exchangeable layered hydroxides, have been exfoliated into individual host layers, i.e., nanosheets. Exfoliation is generally achieved via a high degree of swelling, typically driven either by intercalation of bulky organic ions (quaternary ammonium cations, propylammonium cations, etc.) for the layered oxides or by solvation with organic solvents (formamide, butanol, etc.) for the hydroxides. Ultimate two‐dimensional (2D) anisotropy for the nanosheets, with thickness of around one nanometer versus lateral size ranging from submicrometer to several tens of micrometers, allows them to serve either as an ideal quantum system for fundamental study or as a basic building block for functional assembly. The charge‐bearing inorganic macromolecule‐like nanosheets can be assembled or organized through various solution‐based processing techniques (e.g., flocculation, electrostatic sequential deposition, or the Langmuir–Blodgett method) to produce a range of nanocomposites, multilayer nanofilms, and core–shell nanoarchitectures, which have great potential for electronic, magnetic, optical, photochemical, and catalytic applications.
Primate life histories and dietary adaptations: A comparison of Asian colobines and Macaques
Authors: Borries Carola , Lu Amy , Ossi‐Lupo Kerry , Larney Eileen , Koenig Andreas 
Published: October 2010

AbstractPrimate life histories are strongly influenced by both body and brain mass and are mediated by food availability and perhaps dietary adaptations. It has been suggested that folivorous primates mature and reproduce more slowly than frugivores due to lower basal metabolic rates as well as to greater degrees of arboreality, which can lower mortality and thus fecundity. However, the opposite has also been proposed: faster life histories in folivores due to a diet of abundant, protein‐rich leaves. We compared two primate taxa often found in sympatry: Asian colobines (folivores, 11 species) and Asian macaques (frugivores, 12 species). We first described new data for a little‐known colobine (Phayre's leaf monkeys,Trachypithecus phayrei crepusculus) from Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand. We then compared gestation periods, ages at first birth, and interbirth intervals in colobines and macaques. We predicted that heavier species would have slower life histories, provisioned populations would have faster life histories, and folivores would have slower life histories than frugivores. We calculated general regression models using log body mass, nutritional regime, and taxon as predictor variables. Body mass and nutritional regime had the predicted effects for all three traits. We found taxonomic differences only for gestation, which was significantly longer in colobines, supporting the idea of slower fetal growth (lower maternal energy) compared to macaques and/or advanced dental or gut development. Ages at first birth and interbirth intervals were similar between taxa, perhaps due to additional factors (e.g., allomothering, dispersal). Our results emphasize the need for additional data from wild populations and for establishing whether growth data for provisioned animals (folivores in particular) are representative of wild ones.

Published: October 2010

Abstract2‐Amino‐3‐cyanothiophenes were successfully condensed with a number of cycloalkanones to afford tacrine analogues in a one‐step reaction mediated with Lewis acid. The newly synthesized compounds have been tested for their ability to inhibit acetylcholine esterase (AChE) activity using tacrine as standard drug. Some of the tested compounds showed moderate inhibitory activity in comparison with tacrine, especially compounds 6a which displayed the highest inhibitory activity. Furthermore, molecular‐modeling studies were performed in order to rationalize the obtained biological results.

Published: October 2010

AbstractMiniemulsion polymerization reactions of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and vinyl acetate (VAc) for the synthesis of biocompatible polymeric nanoparticles were comparatively studied. 2,2'‐Azo‐bis(isobutyronitrile) was used as initiator, lecithin as surfactant, and Miglyol 812 or castor oil as costabilizers. Despite the propagation coefficient of VAc being ten times higher than that of MMA, the reaction rates of the VAc polymerizations were much lower. In VAc polymerizations a higher amount of low‐molar‐mass polymer was formed which may be attributed to transfer reactions to low‐molar‐mass species. Polymerizations with a high Miglyol 812/VAc ratio were slower and resulted in the formation of a higher amount of low‐molar‐mass polymer compared to polymerizations with a low Miglyol 812/VAc ratio or VAc miniemulsion polymerizations with hexadecane as costabilizer. In reactions with high Miglyol 812/VAc ratios the peak area of the GPC trace corresponding to the polymer was substantially higher than the theoretical polymer content.
