Significant cooling during exhumation of UHP eclogite from the Taohang area in the Sulu region of eastern China and its tectonic significance
Authors: Nakamura Daisuke , Hirajima Takao 
Published: October 2010

AbstractThe decompressional pressure–temperature (P–T) path was estimated for ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) eclogite from the Sulu region of eastern China by applying geo‐thermobarometers to well‐preserved equilibrium mineral pairs. The sample studied is a kyanite‐bearing eclogite that was collected from the Taohang area of the Sulu region. Garnet is relatively homogeneous in chemical composition, but omphacite has a clear chemical zoning with decreasing jadeite content from core to rim. Assuming that peak‐P equilibrium compositions are preserved in the cores of garnet (Grt) and omphacite (Omp), P–T conditions were calculated to be about 700°C and 3.4 GPa. On the other hand, the jadeite content of omphacite rims varies from 0.35 to 0.46 mol.%. Nevertheless, the variation in Fe/Mg ratios of omphacite rims is very small. Temperatures of 566 ± 54°C were obtained at 1.5 GPa for garnet rim and omphacite rim pairs. These petrological considerations indicate that temperatures should have significantly declined during the early decompression stage of this eclogite. In other areas of the Sulu region, isothermal decompression paths were proposed, and it was concluded that the UHP rocks were exhumed as a large mass tens of kilometers in thickness to avoid thermal effects from the surrounding materials. However, the newly identified decompression path accompanying the significant cooling may indicate that the Taohang outcrop was located at the margin of the Sulu UHP terrane. Thus, the decompressional P–T path is not unique in the Sulu region and varies depending on the location.

Objectives:  To evaluate the long‐term outcomes of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) immediately after high‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment for prostate cancer (CaP).Methods:  The present retrospective study included 65 CaP patients who underwent HIFU alone and 64 patients who underwent TURP immediately after HIFU. HIFU treatment was carried out using a Sonablate‐500 HIFU device (Focus Surgery, Indianapolis, IN, USA). International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and the occurrence of urinary complications, such as urethral stricture during follow‐up, were statistically compared between groups.Results:  Clinical stage tended to be lower for the HIFU + TURP group (P = 0.0311), but none of the preoperative parameters differed significantly between groups. Both catheterization time (P < 0.0001) and post‐treatment IPSS (P < 0.0001) at 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment differed significantly between groups. Urethral strictures were noted in 16 (24.6%) of the HIFU‐only patients and seven (10.9%) of the HIFU + TURP patients. Bladder neck contracture was noted in 11 (68.8%) of the patients with urethral stricture in the HIFU‐only group, but in just two (28.6%) of the patients with urethral stricture in the HIFU + TURP group. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that TURP resection volume (P = 0.0118) was a strong factor for the prevention of urethral stricture.Conclusions:  Our results suggest that combining HIFU with an immediately following TURP improves post‐treatment urinary status without causing additional morbidity.
EXPERIENTIALITY AND “NARRATIVE REFERENCE,” WITH THANKS TO THUCYDIDES1
Authors: GRETHLEIN JONAS 
Published: October 2010

ABSTRACTLately, the concept of experience, which postmodernist theoreticians declared dead, has seen a renaissance. The immediacy of experience seems to offer the possibility of reaching beyond linguistic discourses. In their attempt to overcome the “linguistic turn,” scholars such as Ankersmit, Gumbrecht, and Runia pit experience against narrative. This paper takes up the recent interest in experience, but argues against the opposition to narrative into which experience tends to be cast. The relation between experience and narrative is more complex than is widely assumed. Besides representing and giving shape to experience, narratives are received in the form of a (reception) experience. Through their temporal structure, narratives are crucial to letting us re‐experience the past as well as to representing the experiences of historical agents. This potential of narrative is nicely illustrated by Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War in which “side‐shadowing” devices restore history's experientiality. Through “side‐shadowing,” narrative can challenge the tendency toward teleologies inherent in merely retrospective histories and can re‐create the openness intrinsic to the past when it still was a present. However, the “side‐shadowing” devices used by Thucydides are fictional. To conceptualize the price and gain of “side‐shadowing” in historiography, the paper advances the concept of a “narrative reference” (a concept analogous to Ricoeur's “metaphorical reference”). Introspection, speeches, and other “side‐shadowing” devices sacrifice truth in a positivist sense, but permit a second‐level reference, namely to history's experientiality. In a final step, the paper turns toward modern historians—most of whom are reluctant to use the means of fiction—to briefly survey their attempts at restoring the openness of the past.
FROM REVOLUTION TO MODERNIZATION: THE PARADIGMATIC TRANSITION IN CHINESE HISTORIOGRAPHY IN THE REFORM ERA
Authors: LI HUAIYIN 
Published: October 2010

ABSTRACTChinese historiography of modern China in the 1980s and 1990s underwent a paradigmatic transition: in place of the traditional revolutionary historiography that bases its analyses on Marxist methodologies and highlights rebellions and revolutions as the overarching themes in modern Chinese history, the emerging modernization paradigm builds its conceptual framework on borrowed modernization theory and foregrounds top‐down, incremental reforms as the main force propelling China's evolution to modernity. This article scrutinizes the origins of the new paradigm in the context of a burgeoning modernization discourse in reform‐era China. It further examines the fundamental divides between the two types of historiography in their respective constructions of master narratives and their different approaches to representing historical events in modern China. Behind the prevalence of the modernization paradigm in Chinese historiography is Chinese historians' unchanged commitment to serving present political needs by interpreting the past.
NORBERT ELIAS, THE CIVILIZING PROCESS: SOCIOGENETIC AND PSYCHOGENETIC INVESTIGATIONS—AN OVERVIEW AND ASSESSMENT
Authors: LINKLATER ANDREW , MENNELL STEPHEN 
Published: October 2010

ABSTRACTNorbert Elias's The Civilizing Process, which was published in German in 1939 and first translated into English in two volumes in 1978 and 1982, is now widely regarded as one of the great works of twentieth‐century sociology. This work attempted to explain how Europeans came to think of themselves as more “civilized” than their forebears and neighboring societies. By analyzing books about manners that had been published between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries, Elias observed changing conceptions of shame and embarrassment with respect to, among other things, bodily propriety and violence. To explain those developments, Elias examined the interplay among the rise of state monopolies of power, increasing levels of economic interconnectedness among people, and pressures to become attuned to others over greater distances that led to advances in identifying with others in the same society irrespective of social origins. Elias's analysis of the civilizing process was not confined, however, to explaining changing social bonds within separate societies. The investigation also focused on the division of Europe into sovereign states that were embroiled in struggles for power and security.This article provides an overview and analysis of Elias's principal claims in the light of growing interest in this seminal work in sociology. The analysis shows how Elias defended higher levels of synthesis in the social sciences to explain relations between “domestic” and “international” developments, and changes in social structure and in the emotional lives of modern people. Elias's investigation, which explained long‐term processes of development over several centuries, pointed to the limitations of inquiries that concentrate on short‐term intervals. Only by placing short‐term trends in long‐term perspective could sociologists understand contemporary developments. This article maintains that Elias's analysis of the civilizing process remains an exemplary study of long‐term developments in Western societies over the last five centuries.

AbstractIn the Using Evidence in Practice feature for this issue we invited Ghislaine Declève, a health librarian from Belgium who is active in Evidence Based Library and Information Practice, to provide a perspective on the uptake of the paradigm in non‐English speaking countries. While her survey extends beyond the health domain it will prove of particular value to the HILJ readership, given that leadership of the movement continues to reside primarily within the health information sector.AB

AbstractObjective
–
To evaluate the stability of canine and feline hemostatic proteins in freeze‐thaw‐cycled (FTC) fresh frozen plasma (FFP).Design
–
Prospective study.Setting
–
Veterinary Teaching Hospital.Animals
–
Nine blood donor dogs and 10 blood donor cats.Interventions
–
Whole blood was collected and separated into packed RBC and plasma units according to standard methods. Each unit of plasma was divided into 2 equal aliquots and frozen (−41°C). One aliquot from each donor (FTC) was then thawed and then refrozen (−41°C) until time of analysis. The second aliquot (nonfreeze‐thaw‐cycled; NFTC) remained frozen until time of analysis. The hemostatic proteins assessed included coagulation factors, anticoagulant factors (antithrombin and Protein C), and adhesive proteins (fibrinogen and von Willebrand Factor). The coagulant activities of factors II, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII were measured in modified one‐stage activated partial thromboplastin time or prothrombin time assays. Antithrombin and Protein C activities were measured in chromogenic substrate assays. Clottable fibrinogen was measured via the Clauss method, and von Willebrand Factor concentration (vWF:Ag) was measured in an ELISA. A paired t‐test was utilized to identify differences in factor activity or concentration between FTC FFP and NFTC FFP.Measurements and Main results
–
No clinically or statistically significant differences (all P>0.05) were identified between FTC FFP and NFTC FFP.Conclusions
–
Refreezing FFP within 1 hour of initial thawing appeared to have no deleterious effects on the hemostatic protein activity or content of that unit. Transfusion of FTC FFP is expected to provide the recipient with comparable replacement of hemostatic proteins as FFP that has remained frozen.

Published: October 2010

AbstractObjective
–
To perform a qualitative evaluation of procalcitonin gene (CALCA) expression in a tissue‐specific manner in dogs with signs of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).Design
–
Observational study.Setting
–
University Veterinary Teaching Hospital.Animals
–
Nine clinical cases and 5 research dogs.Interventions
–
None.Measurements and Main Results
–
Fresh tissue samples (thyroid, lung, liver, spleen) from 9 dogs that died with a diagnosis of parvoviral infection or SIRS were collected and immediately stored at –80°C. Diagnosis of parvoviral infection was based on clinical signs, positive fecal antigen test, and confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Clinical diagnosis of SIRS was based on the clinical criteria reported in veterinary literature. Necropsy was performed on all subjects in the study. Furthermore, thyroid, lung, liver, spleen were collected from 5 normal research dogs immediately postmortem for testing. The 9 dogs with a clinical diagnosis of SIRS died from either parvovirus (n=5), bacterial sepsis (n=3), or neoplasia (n=1). CALCA was amplified by PCR in the following samples: thyroid (9/9), spleen (6/9), lung (4/9), liver (3/9). Only thyroid expressed CALCA in the 5 normal dogs.Conclusions
–
In SIRS, extrathyroidal transcription of CALCA was documented. Quantitative analysis (real‐time polymerase chain reaction) in a wider population of SIRS and normal dogs will provide essential information about the extent and source of extrathyroidal expression of canine CALCA induced by septic and nonseptic systemic inflammation.
Exploring the Nature of “Trader Intuition”
Authors: BRUGUIER ANTOINE J. , QUARTZ STEVEN R. , BOSSAERTS PETER 
Published: October 2010

ABSTRACTExperimental evidence has consistently confirmed the ability of uninformed traders, even novices, to infer information from the trading process. After contrasting brain activation in subjects watching markets with and without insiders, we hypothesize that Theory of Mind (ToM) helps explain this pattern, where ToM refers to the human capacity to discern malicious or benevolent intent. We find that skill in predicting price changes in markets with insiders correlates with scores on two ToM tests. We document GARCH‐like persistence in transaction price changes that may help investors read markets when there are insiders.
Microstructure and Ambiguity

Published: October 2010

ABSTRACTA goal for stock exchanges is to increase participation by firms and investors. We show how specific features of the microstructure can reduce perceived ambiguity, and induce participation by both investors and issuers. We develop a model with sophisticated traders, who we view as expected utility maximizers with rational expectations, and unsophisticated traders, who we view as rational traders facing ambiguity about the payoffs to participating in the market. We show how designing markets to reduce ambiguity can benefit investors through greater liquidity, exchanges through greater volume, and issuing firms through a lower cost of capital.
A Bayesian Approach to Real Options: The Case of Distinguishing between Temporary and Permanent Shocks
Authors: GRENADIER STEVEN R. , MALENKO ANDREY 
Published: October 2010

ABSTRACTTraditional real options models demonstrate the importance of the “option to wait” due to uncertainty over future shocks to project cash flows. However, there is often another important source of uncertainty: uncertainty over the permanence of past shocks. Adding Bayesian uncertainty over the permanence of past shocks augments the traditional option to wait with an additional “option to learn.” The implied investment behavior differs significantly from that in standard models. For example, investment may occur at a time of stable or decreasing cash flows, respond sluggishly to cash flow shocks, and depend on the timing of project cash flows.

Davis AM, Pusey BJ. Trophic polymorphism and water clarity in northern Australian Scortum (Pisces: Terapontidae). Ecology of Freshwater Fish 2010: 19: 638–643. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/SAbstract –  The diets and relative intestinal length of two typically herbivorous terapontid fish from contrasting high and low clarity environments were compared. Fish of both species collected from high clarity habitats were almost exclusively herbivorous, whereas conspecifics from low clarity habitats were omnivores. Relative intestinal lengths in both species were significantly shorter in low clarity environments. Pronounced contrasts in water transparency have the apparent capacity to produce dietary niche shifts in these two species that in turn induce and maintain trophic polymorphisms in a riverine environment.

Janáč M, Ondračková M, Jurajda P, Valová Z, Reichard M. Flood duration determines the reproduction success of fish in artificial oxbows in a floodplain of a potamal river.  Ecology of Freshwater Fish 2010: 19: 644–655. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S.Abstract –  Fish reproduction was studied in six man‐made water bodies (borrow pits) adjacent to the channelised Dyje River (Danube basin) over five seasons. Terrestrial vegetation provided spawning and nursery habitats when inundated by raised water levels in the borrow pits (hereafter referred to as ‘floods’). The diversity of 0+ fish and the density of 0+ cyprinids (mainly Abramis bjoerkna, Scardinius erythrophthalmus and Rutilus rutilus) in June–October were positively correlated with flood duration in previous months. The density of 0+ Perca fluviatilis was independent of the flood duration. The density of spawners and predators did not influence the diversity of 0+ fish and the density of 0+ cyprinids. Receding flood and associated lack of shelters resulted in decreasing density of 0+ cyprinids, numbers sometimes decreasing to zero. Prolonged floods facilitated the survival of 0+ fish and resulted in high 1+ cyprinid density in the following season. Specific hydromorphological conditions (e.g., the presence of shallow littoral zone or flooded vegetation) are necessary to enable successful spawning and provide shelters for 0+ fish in artificial water bodies.

Tsunagawa T, Arai T. Migratory history of the freshwater goby Rhinogobius sp. CB in Japan. Ecology of Freshwater Fish 2011: 20: 33–41. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/SAbstract –  The migratory histories of Rhinogobius sp. CB collected from 32 locations connected to the sea were studied by examining the strontium (Sr) and calcium (Ca) concentrations in the otoliths using X‐ray electron microprobe (EPMA) analysis. The Sr and Ca contents in the riverine water were also determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) analysis. The Sr:Ca ratios in the riverine waters were highly different among rivers and correlated with those in the otolith outer region corresponding to the river life period. Consequently, almost all samples (159 of 160 individuals) showed a typical amphidromous life history, with one individual showing a landlocked life history. These results suggest that the clear differences of migration history in population or locality were not found in Rhinogobius sp. CB. Therefore, it was thought that Rhinogobius sp. CB most commonly had an amphidromous life history.

Early morphogenesis of heterodont dentition in minipigs. Eur J Oral Sci 2010; 118: 547–558. © 2010 Eur J Oral Sci The minipig provides an excellent experimental model for tooth morphogenesis because its diphyodont and heterodont dentition resemble that of humans. However, little information is available on the processes of tooth development in the pig. The purpose of this study was to classify the early stages of odontogenesis in minipigs from the initiation of deciduous dentition to the late bell stage when the successional dental lamina begins to develop. To analyze the initiation of teeth anlagens and the structural changes of dental lamina, a three‐dimensional (3D) analysis was performed. At the earliest stage, 3D reconstruction revealed a continuous dental lamina along the length of the jaw. Later, the dental lamina exhibited remarkable differences in depth, and the interdental lamina was shorter. The dental lamina grew into the mesenchyme in the lingual direction, and its inclined growth was underlined by asymmetrical cell proliferation. After the primary tooth germ reached the late bell stage, the dental lamina began to disintegrate and fragmentize. Some cells disappeared during the process of lamina degradation, while others remained in small islands known as epithelial pearls. The minipig can therefore, inter alia, be used as a model organism to study the fate of epithelial pearls from their initiation to their contribution to pathological structures, primarily because of the clinical significance of these epithelial rests.
Familial aplasia of the trapezius muscle: clinical and MRI findings

Published: October 2010

AbstractA 5‐year‐old boy was referred to our neurology clinic for suspected myopathy. His parents reported normal upper extremity strength and no limitation in daily activities; however, he was unable to raise his arms above his head. On examination, both shoulders were down‐slanting and anteriorly displaced, leading to a webbed neck appearance. Muscle MRI demonstrated isolated bilateral aplasia of the trapezius muscles. His father was found to have a unilateral partial trapezius hypoplasia with no functional consequences.Conclusion:  Congenital aplasia of the trapezius muscle is a rare condition; bilateral aplasia of the muscle, having been reported in only five cases, is most often associated with aplasia of the pectoralis major. This is the first report to our knowledge to demonstrate bilateral isolated trapezius aplasia by MRI.
