Published: June 2011

BackgroundThere is a long-standing belief that creativity is coupled with psychopathology.AimsTo test this alleged association and to investigate whether any such association is the result of environmental or genetic factors.MethodWe performed a nested case–control study based on Swedish registries. The likelihood of holding a creative occupation in individuals who had received in-patient treatment for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or unipolar depression between 1973 and 2003 and their relatives without such a diagnosis was compared with that of controls.ResultsIndividuals with bipolar disorder and healthy siblings of people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder were overrepresented in creative professions. People with schizophrenia had no increased rate of overall creative professions compared with controls, but an increased rate in the subgroup of artistic occupations. Neither individuals with unipolar depression nor their siblings differed from controls regarding creative professions.ConclusionsA familial cosegregation of both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder with creativity is suggested.

Abstract
A series of uranyl borates, UO2B2O4, Na[(UO2)B6O10(OH)]3· 2H2O, and K2[(UO2)2B12O19(OH)4]·0.3H2O, with different topologies have been prepared and tested for the incorporation of iodate, one of the chemical forms that 129I should have in nuclear waste. Laser ablation ICP-MS was used to determine the iodine content in single crystals of the three different uranyl borates. Iodine levels can be greater than 3200 ppm in crystals synthesized in the presence of iodate. The intercalation of iodic acid is one possible mechanism for iodate uptake in these solids.

Abstract
The yttrium oxide chloride oxoselenate(IV) Y3O2Cl[SeO3]2, doped with Eu3+ at 3% mass percentage, can be obtained by common solid-state reactions from Y2O3, Eu2O3, YCl3 and SeO2, and crystallizes isostrucäturally with the analogous terbium(III) compound Tb3O2Cl[SeO3]2. The orthorhombic crystal structure (Pnma, a = 548.24(4), b = 1457.92(9), c = 1102.83(7) pm and Z = 4 for undoped yttrium samples) was identified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data and the purity of the product was checked with powder XRD methods. The presence of isolated pyramidal [SeO3]2– units could be confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The optical band gap was determined by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) applying the Kubelka-Munk function. Fluorescence spectroscopy measurements revealed the prominent f → f-transitions for Eu3+-doped compounds in both the excitation and the emission spectra of Y3O2Cl[SeO3]2 : Eu3+.
Property Rights over Money: the Italian Perspective and English Law
Authors: Caggiano Ilaria Amelia 
Published: June 2011

Abstract
The work considers money in a different way depending on whether it is used as a means of payment or for other functions. Only in the first case it comes to evidence a characteristic proprietary regime which cuts across the different categories of property by which money assets are represented. In the other cases, money should be considered simply as a fungible asset. However, rules of specification of fungibles should be reconsidered. Specifically, the paper deals with the issues arising in transactions where money is transferred to an intermediary for management. It aims to show that the transferor or the beneficiary keeps real interests in the money transferred. It argues how these interests may be relevant to Italian law, by comparing it with the English legal system. The paper demonstrates that reference to property law may be useful for evaluating the quantum of rights of the transferor of money by referring to the concept of value and by the analysis of law of mixtures under the Italian and the English law. The analysis is worked out in terms of corporeal money but argues that law reaches equivalent outcomes for incorporeal money in the field under consideration.

Enigmatic morphological disparity in tarsometatarsi of giant penguins from the Eocene of Antarctica
The only record of the Paleogene Antarctic Sphenisciformes comes from the Eocene La Meseta Formation (Seymour Island, Antarctic Peninsula). The analysis of tarsometatarsi attributed to the genus Anthropornis ("giant" penguins) from the Argentine, Polish and Swedish collections revealed an intriguing heterogeneity within these taxonomically important elements of the skeleton. The unique hypotarsal morphology challenges the current systematics of large-bodied penguins and sheds new light on their evolution.

Slosh-Free Positioning of Containers with Liquids and Flexible Conveyor Belt
This paper describes a method for slosh-free moving of containers with a liquid at which the conveyor belt is flexible. It shows, by means of experimental results, that a container filled with a liquid can be regarded as a damped pendulum. Upon parameter identification of the two single-mode subsystems, theoretical modelling of the complete system is described. With respect to industrial application, feedforward control is used to transfer the container in horizontal direction without sloshing. The applied method requires deterministic and hard real time communication between the PLC and the servo amplifier which is realized here with Ethernet POWERLINK. The principle structure, calculations, time duration and the robustness of the basic types of input shaper are described and compared with each other. Additionally the positioning results of the two-mode system are presented. Finally, a possibility of the principle software implementation is presented.

Published: June 2011

Influence of Radiation on the Dielectric Properties of XLPE Based Insulation SystemsThe paper discusses the possibilities of acquiring and processing the dielectric data in the range of very low frequency (VLF) and also design and construction of an impedance analyzer for measurements in this frequency range. The impedance measurements in the VLF range were used for investigation of the influence of radiation on the cross-linked polyethylene cable dielectric. An expressive β-type relaxation process was found in this type of cable. Most of the dielectric response parameters of the process depend significantly on the absorbed dose of radiation. The analysis of the process parameters showed that the most probable reason of the structural changes in cross-linked polyethylene was additional cross-linking. The results also proved that the impedance measurements in the VLF range could be effectively used in practice for estimation of the absorbed dose in the cross-linked polyethylene cables stressed by radiation.t data only. In order to identify or classify motion, data processing in real time is needed.

Published: June 2011

Field-Driven Brownian Motion of Magnetic Domain WallsThe dynamics of a magnetic domain wall (DW) in a wire is studied. The DW is modeled as a Brownian particle subjected to thermal fluctuations and is characterized by the mass, position and velocity. Its motion is damped by friction, pinned by the irregularities in the material and driven by a constant force due to the external magnetic field. We have obtained the corresponding Langevin equation that contains a white-noise force. The use of an effective method taken from the statistical physics allowed us to convert this stochastic equation into an ordinary differential equation. From its solution the mean square displacement of the DW with other relevant time correlation functions and their spectral densities have been found. The electric current induced by the moving DW is also calculated.

Switching Magnetization Magnetic Force Microscopy — An Alternative to Conventional Lift-Mode MFM
In the paper we present an overview of the latest progress in the conventional lift-mode magnetic force microscopy (MFM) technique, achieved by advanced MFM tips and by lowering the lift height. Although smaller lift height offers improved spatial resolution, we show that lowered tip-sample distance mixes magnetic, atomic and electric forces. We describe an alternative to the lift-mode procedure - Switching Magnetization Magnetic Force Microscopy [SM-MFM], which is based on two-pass scanning in tapping mode AFM with reversed tip magnetization between the scans. We propose design and calculate the magnetic properties of such SM-MFM tips. For best performance the tips must exhibit low magnetic moment, low switching field, and single-domain state at remanence. The switching field of such tips is calculated for Permalloy hexagons.

Gadolinium Scandate: Next Candidate for Alternative Gate Dielectric in CMOS Technology?The films of GdScO3were prepared by liquid injection metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, MOCVD at 600 °C on (100) Si substrate. The as-deposited films were amorphous with a smooth surface and sharp GdScO3/Si interface. X-ray diffraction showed that the amorphous phase is well preserved upon rapid thermal annealing up to 1000 °C. It is shown, that exact stoichiometry of GdScO3is not necessary to achieve dielectric constant above 20.

Prediction Methods for MPEG-4 and H.264 Video Transmission
Video services became a large part of internet network traffic. Therefore understanding of video coding standards and video traffic sources, such as video trace files is highly important. In this paper we concentrate on the basic characteristics of mpeg-4 and h.264 video coding standards. We describe the concept of the i, p and b frames in these standards since they are the main feature of every video trace file. Then we describe the content of the video trace files since the trace files are important for researchers to investigate network performance and understanding of network features. These are the important issues in terms of assuring the quality of service (QoS) in multimedia applications spread across the internet. Traffic prediction and bandwidth allocation are the crucial parts in terms of QoS. In this kind of applications, the artificial neural networks are vastly used. Therefore we illustrate the results of neural networks for video traffic prediction using both mpeg-4 and h.264 trace files.

AbstractOur study shows the impact of the process parameters V/III ratio, pressure and temperature on growth and morphology of GaN nanowires (NWs) synthesized by an Au‐initiated vapour‐liquid‐solid mechanism on a sapphire substrate. We confined a temperature window for successful GaN NW growth and show how the variation of reactor pressure changes the NW morphology. Using a very low V/III ratio, NW tapering, which was observed for higher V/III ratios, could be avoided. The optimization of these process parameters led to non‐tapered GaN NWs, aligned perpendicular to the substrate. Further evaluation by scanning electron microscopy showed a high density (∼3·109/cm2) of hexagonal c‐plane GaN NWs having diameters of 60 ± 9 nm. Transmission electron microscopy revealed single‐crystalline NWs without threading dislocations but some stacking faults. The use of a very low V/III ratio was found to be important for the successful selective growth and, most interestingly, led to a difference in NW and gold catalyst droplet diameter. For chemical analysis of the NW and its catalyst droplet, electron energy loss spectroscopy was employed confirming gold as the catalyst material (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

AbstractIn this paper, we report for the first time, high voltage operations of field plated Al1–xInxN (x≈0.18) HEMTs. The epilayer structure of our devices consisted of AlInN/GaN HEMT structure with and without AlN cap layer. 1.25 μm gate‐length AlInN/GaN HEMT devices were then fabricated with 2 μm source‐gate distance using our baseline fabrication process. The gate‐drain spacing were varied from 6 (baseline) to 12 μm. The devices were field‐plated to analyze the breakdown voltage. The maximum drain current density in devices grown on sapphire substrates was around 1.2 A/mm (at a +3 V gate bias). Maximum transconductance was around 370 mS/mm. The insulating AlN cap layer, combined with the field‐plated gate design had proved to substantially improve the devices OFF‐state breakdown voltage. The measured breakdown voltage was as high as 350‐400 V. The results presented highlights the potentials of AlInN‐based devices for the high‐voltage and energy‐efficient power‐electronics applications (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Symplectic calculation of the outboard magnetic footprint from noise and error fields in the DIII-D
Authors: ALI HALIMA , PUNJABI ALKESH , NYAKU ERNEST 
Published: June 2011

AbstractThe backward symplectic DIII-D map and continuous symplectic analog of the map for magnetic field line trajectories in the DIII-D [10] (Luxon, J. L. and Davis, L. E. 1985 Fusion Technol.8, 441) in natural canonical coordinates are used to calculate the magnetic footprint on the outboard collector plate of the DIII-D tokamak from the field errors and internal topological noise. The equilibrium generating function for the DIII-D used in the map very accurately represents the magnetic geometry of the DIII-D. The step-size of the map is kept considerably small so that the magnetic perturbation added from symplectic discretization of the Hamiltonian equations of the magnetic field line trajectories is very small. The natural canonical coordinates allow inverting to the real physical space. The combination of highly accurate equilibrium generating function, natural canonical coordinates, symplecticity, and small step-size then together gives a very accurate calculation of magnetic footprint. Radial variation of magnetic perturbation and the response of plasma to perturbation are not included. The footprint is in the form of toroidally winding helical strips. The area of footprint scales as 1st power of amplitude. The physical parameters as toroidal angle, length, and poloidal angle covered before striking, and the safety factor all have fractal structure. The average field diffusion near X-point for lines that strike and that do not strike differs by about four orders of magnitude. The flux loss decreases for high values of amplitude of perturbation.
GEOMETRIC AND TOPOLOGICAL STRUCTURES RELATED TO M-BRANES II: TWISTED STRING AND STRINGCSTRUCTURES
Authors: SATI HISHAM 
Published: June 2011

AbstractThe actions, anomalies and quantization conditions allow theM2-brane and theM5-brane to support, in a natural way, structures beyond spin on their world-volumes. The main examples are twisted string structures. This also extends to twisted stringcstructures which we introduce and relate to twisted string structures. The relation of theC-field to Chern–Simons theory suggests the use of the string cobordism category to describe theM2-brane.
Redirected tumor-specific allogeneic T cells for universal treatment of cancer
Authors: Marcus Assaf , Waks Tova , Eshhar Zelig 
Published: June 2011

Abstract
Adoptive cell transfer of allogeneic tumor-specific T cells could potentially be used as a universal treatment for cancer. We present a novel approach for adoptive immunotherapy using fully MHC-mismatched allogeneic T cells redirected with tumor-specific, non-MHC–restricted antibody-based chimeric antigen receptor (T-bodies) in the absence of GVHD. Mice bearing systemic metastatic disease were lymphodepleted by irradiation and treated with Her2/neu re-directed T cells. Lymphodepletion created a ‘therapeutic window’, which allowed the allo–T-bodies to attack the tumor before their rejection. A single split dose administration of allogeneic T-bodies extended the survival of tumor-bearing mice similarly to syngeneic T-bodies, and to a significantly greater extent than nonspecific allogeneic T cells. Blocking egress of lymphocytes from lymphoid organs using the sphingosine-1-phosphate agonist, FTY720, extended the persistence of allogeneic T cells such that allogeneic T-bodies provided superior therapeutic benefit relative to syngeneic ones, and dramatically extended the median survival time of the treated mice for more than a year. Therefore, we suggest that ex-vivo generated MHC-mismatched T-bodies can be used universally for off-the-shelf cancer immunotherapy and that their graft-versus-host reactivity can be safely harnessed to potentiate adoptive cell therapy.

Radiation Pattern Optimization by Loaded Impedance in the Base of Passive ElementThis article deals with optimizing the radiation pattern by using two vertical middle wave antenna arrays. Optimization is achieved by adding an appropriate impedance into the base of the passive antenna radiator. The proposed solution deals with finding the best value of the loaded impedance. The final result is to achieve the most effective shape of the radiation pattern. The proposed method was finally approved by measurement on a real middle wave antenna array.

Résumé À partir du récit et de l’analyse d’une séquence emblématique d’un projet de recherche (impliquant notamment des anthropologues) couplé à une intervention dans le domaine de la santé maternelle au Sénégal, cet article souligne la nécessité d’entrecroiser trois niveaux d’analyse, mettant en jeu le regard de l’anthropologue : une anthropologie du projet lui-même dans son ensemble permettant de comprendre les logiques qui président à ses orientations, voulues ou subies, fonction de ses caractéristiques ou d’événements extérieurs ; le décryptage plus spécifique de la fabrique de l’anthropologie dans ce projet ; enfin, les enseignements de cette double posture pour repenser des questions fondatrices de l’anthropologie en général (le rapport au terrain ; la construction de l’objet ; la contribution au changement).
Spatial scale effect on seasonal streamflows in permafrost catchments on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau
Authors: Wang Genxu , Liu Guangsheng , Liu Lin'an 
Published: June 2011

AbstractThe scale issue is of central concern in hydrological processes to understand the potential upscaling or downscaling methodologies, and to develop models for scaling the dominant processes at different scales and in different environments. In this study, a typical permafrost watershed in the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau was selected. Its hydrological processes were monitored for 4 years from 2004 to 2008, measuring the effects of freezing and thawing depth of active soil layers on runoff processes. To identify the nature and cause of variation in the runoff response in different size catchments, catchments ranging from 1·07 to 112 km2 were identified in the watershed. The results indicated that the variation of runoff coefficients showed a ‘V’ shape with increasing catchment size during the spring and autumn seasons, when the active soil was subjected to thawing or freezing processes. A two‐stage method was proposed to create runoff scaling models to indicate the effects of scale on runoff processes. In summer, the scaling transition model followed an exponential function for mean daily discharge, whereas the scaling model for flood flow exhibited a linear function. In autumn, the runoff process transition across multiple scales followed an exponential function with air temperature as the driving factor. These scaling models demonstrate relatively high simulation efficiency and precision, and provide a practical way for upscaling or downscaling runoff processes in a medium‐size permafrost watershed. For permafrost catchments of this scale, the results show that the synergistic effect of scale and vegetation cover is an important driving factor in the runoff response.
