Superciliary keyhole surgery for unruptured posterior communicating artery aneurysms with oculomotor nerve palsy: maximizing symptomatic resolution and minimizing surgical invasiveness
Authors: Park Jaechan , Kang Dong-Hun , Chun Bo-Young 
Published: June 2011

Object
For oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP) induced by unruptured posterior communicating artery (PCoA) aneurysms, the authors performed surgical clipping via a superciliary keyhole approach as an optimal treatment modality with high efficiency and low invasiveness. In this study, they then evaluated the technical feasibility, safety, clinical outcomes, including recovery from ONP as well as cosmetic results, and durability of the procedure.

Methods
Thirteen patients presenting with complete (7 patients) or incomplete (6 patients) ONP underwent surgery via a superciliary approach. The operative video record was used to evaluate the technical feasibility, neurological examinations and CT were performed to analyze the safety of the treatment, and neuroophthalmological examinations and 3D CT angiography were undertaken to determine the effectiveness and durability of the treatment.

Results
In all cases, the aneurysms were successfully clipped using a 3.5-cm eyebrow incision and supraorbital minicraniotomy. The mean operative time was 108 ± 24 minutes. Twelve (92.3%) of the 13 patients showed complete resolution of the ONP. All 6 patients (100%) with incomplete ONP recovered completely within 1–2 months after surgery, whereas 6 (85.7%) of the 7 patients with complete ONP recovered completely within 1–6 months after surgery. Cosmetic results for the operative wounds were excellent without frontalis palsy. The durability of the treatment was ascertained based on 3D CT angiograms obtained 1 year after surgery.

Conclusions
Surgical clipping via a superciliary keyhole approach can be an optimal treatment modality for PCoA aneurysms inducing ONP because it is effective, safe, and durable.
Propagande et psychanalyse
Authors: Shi Qijia 
Published: June 2011

Après avoir rappelé les origines étymologiques du terme « propagande » dans la culture chinoise et la culture occidentale, l’auteur s’attache à décrire les liens entre fantasmes et propagande. Se référant à certaines notions psychanalytiques (fantasmes inconscients, identification projective, régression), il rattache la propagande à la recherche d’une réitération de la position infantile chez celui à qui elle s’adresse. Il reprend la description, au niveau groupal, de l’objet omniprésent et idéalisé. L’auteur s’appuie sur l’exemple de certains régimes nutritionnistes, des cultes religieux et de certaines impostures « autobiographiques ». Il conclura son propos par une réflexion sur les modifications selon lui apportées par le « phénomène internet » à l’usage de la propagande.
El narco como telón de fondo : Fiesta en la madriguera
Authors: García Díaz Teresa 
Published: June 2011

Teresa García Díaz explora algunos de los vínculos entre realidad y literatura a partir del género “narconovela”, analizando Fiesta en la madriguera, novela de Juan Pablo Villalobos. La autora observa cómo los estereotipos referentes a los narcotraficantes se cumplen tanto en la ficción literaria como en la realidad política, hecho que demuestra comparando los perfiles de algunos capos mexicanos con los rasgos de algunos estereotipos en las narconovelas. Además de recurrir a diversos textos dentro de dicho género, como La Virgen de los icarios de Fernando Vallejo, El ruido de las cosas al caer de Juan Gabriel Vázquez, “Ese modo que colma” de Daniel Sada, Tijuana: crimen y olvido de Luis Humberto Crosthwaite y Los trabajos del reino de Yuri Herrera, hecho que otorga al lector un completo panorama sobre el desarrollo y la evolución de las narconovelas, también desarrolla varias reflexiones sobre la pertinencia, la calidad estética, el auge y la recepción de dicha modalidad narrativa.
La stéréotypie Nord/Sud dans le street art latino-américain
Authors: Botero Nataly 
Published: June 2011

Les interventions visuelles dans la ville et le street-art font désormais partie du paysage urbain des villes latino-américaines. Une telle sémiotisation s’avérant riche en stéréotypes esthétiques, rhétoriques et culturels, notre analyse porte sur la façon dont la relation entre Nord et Sud en Amérique s’exprime à travers un corpus d’affiches et de graffitis latino-américains. A partir d’un point de vue des sciences du langage, nous analysons un corpus d’affiches mexicaines et de graffitis colombiens. De quelle manière ces visuels porteurs de réflexivité interrogent-ils les relations entre Nord et Sud ? De quelle façon contribuent ces visuels au processus de stéréotypage du Nord et du Sud ? Enfin, quels sont les enjeux identitaires et idéologiques d’une telle stéréotypie ? Ainsi, en véhiculant une stéréotypie de la façon dont le Nord est perçu par le Sud, les images en question élaborent une hétéro-stéréotypie (le différent) donnant lieu à une auto-stéréotypie (le semblable). Il s’agit dans ce sens d’un processus de stéréotypage relationnel où le regard porté sur l’Autre implique la mobilisation d’un regard sur Soi. Or la manière dont le Nord y est nommé, représenté et résinifié, détermine l’image que le Sud véhicule de lui-même.
Wind speed forecasting using autoregressive moving average/generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model
Authors: Jiang Wen , Yan Zheng , Feng Dong‐Han , Hu Zhi 
Published: June 2011

SUMMARYIn this paper, a hybrid model of autoregressive moving average and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity is proposed to forecast wind speed. In this model, the conditional variance of an observation depends linearly on the conditional variance of the previous observations and on the previous prediction errors. This conditional variance can capture the feature that the predictability of meteorological variables is not constant but shows regular variations. The quasi‐maximum likelihood estimator was used to estimate parameters of the proposed model. An improved particle swarm optimization was proposed to solve the solution of the autoregressive moving average/generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model through the log‐quasi‐likelihood function. Four different indices are introduced to demonstrate the performance of the proposed model. Generated results of different season sample sets were compared with their corresponding values when using the autoregressive moving average model. The simulation results validate the effectiveness, accuracy, and superiority of the proposed model for wind speed prediction. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Virtualization: What are the security risks?
Authors: Fanning Kurt , Cannon David M. 
Published: June 2011

AbstractVirtualization—using a powerful computer to emulate many smaller computers—is an increasingly popular information technology. To the users, it is as if each has his own small separate computer. This can increase organizational agility, reduce costs, and increase the return on IT investments.But this technological trend also brings new security risks. What are they, and how can companies control those risks? The authors of this article have some answers. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Tropical Pacific–North Pacific teleconnection in a coupled GCM: remote and local effects
Authors: Cherchi Annalisa , Masina Simona , Navarra Antonio 
Published: June 2011

AbstractThe connection between Tropical Pacific and North Pacific variability is investigated in a state‐of‐the‐art coupled ocean‐atmosphere model, comparing two 20th century simulations at T30 and T106 atmospheric horizontal resolutions. Despite a better simulation of the frequency and the spatial distribution of the Tropical Pacific anomalies associated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the high‐resolution experiment, the response in the North Pacific is scarcely different from the low‐resolution experiment where the ENSO variability is weaker and at higher than observed frequency. In the North Pacific, the response of surface atmospheric fields to the variability in the Tropical Pacific appears to be affected by local coupling processes significantly different in the two experiments. The coupling between sea level pressure (SLP) and sea surface temperature (SST) in the North Pacific as well as the influence of the Tropical Pacific SST has been measured here by means of the ‘coupled manifold’ technique. In the low‐resolution case the SLP variances linked to the fraction of North Pacific SST not influenced by the Tropical Pacific are weak suggesting that the remote influence is strong, consistently with the observations. On the contrary, in the high‐resolution experiment the fractions and the patterns of the SLP variances due to the Tropical Pacific SST and those linked to the North Pacific SST are comparable. In the latter case, model systematic errors in the northwestern Pacific influences the local coupling processes thus triggering the remote response. We conclude that an increased atmospheric horizontal resolution does not reduce the coupled model systematic errors in the representation of the teleconnection between the North and the Tropical Pacific and that the validation of coupled models has to consider both remote and local processes.

Short echo‐time 3D radial gradient‐echo MRI using concurrent dephasing and excitation
Authors: Park Jang‐Yeon , Moeller Steen , Goerke Ute , Auerbach Edward , Chamberlain Ryan , Ellermann Jutta , Garwood Michael 
Published: June 2011

AbstractUltrashort echo‐time imaging and sweep imaging with Fourier transformation are powerful techniques developed for imaging ultrashort T2 species. However, it can be challenging to implement them on standard clinical MRI systems due to demanding hardware requirements. In this article, the limits of what is possible in terms of the minimum echo‐time and repetition time with 3D radial gradient‐echo sequences, which can be readily implemented on a standard clinical scanner, are investigated. Additionally, a new 3D radial gradient‐echo sequence is introduced, called COncurrent Dephasing and Excitation (CODE). The unique feature of CODE is that the initial dephasing of the readout gradient is performed during RF excitation, which allows CODE to effectively achieve echo‐times on the order of ∼0.2 ms and larger in a clinical setting. The minimum echo‐time achievable with CODE is analytically described and compared with a standard 3D radial gradient‐echo sequence. CODE was implemented on a clinical 3 T scanner (Siemens 3 T MAGNETOM Trio), and both phantom and in vivo human knee images are shown for demonstration.

The West and China: Shake‐up in global banking?
Authors: Robinson Matthew , Hilson Chris 
Published: June 2011

AbstractThe global recession of 2007–2009 is altering the structure of the global banking industry. Many Western banks suffered after the fallout of the subprime mortgage market in 2007 and are having to respond to the policy ramifications of the crisis and recession. China's banks, however, have undergone performance improvements in a number of areas, both leading into and during the crisis, and they are now emerging as significant players in the global banking market.1 This “shake‐up” in global banking is occurring in five areas: independence, profitability, market focus, business models, and talent. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Multiple‐criteria approach to ranking medical tourism destinations
Authors: Levary Reuven R. 
Published: June 2011

AbstractThe characteristics of the medical tourism industry are described. Multiple criteria are used to evaluate several popular medical tourism destinations. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is shown to be the appropriate methodology for evaluating and ranking medical tourism destinations because it can incorporate input from multiple decision makers as well as handle both tangible and intangible criteria. The ranking of medical tourism destinations will enable administrators at companies that specialize in arranging the logistics of obtaining medical care at foreign facilities to better advise patients regarding their choice of medical tourism destinations. This will result in patients who are more satisfied with their choice of a foreign medical facility. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
The Cope rearrangement—the first born of a great family
Authors: Graulich Nicole 
Published: June 2011

AbstractThis review takes the experimental and theoretical discussions on the Cope rearrangement as the basis to emphasize its tight connection to many closely related pericyclic reactions. The Cope reaction, which is rather simple in a formal sense, has led to a plethora of mechanistic discussions to determine the nature of biradical‐like intermediates or transition structures. After intense experimental and theoretical investigations starting in the late 1960s, the Cope rearrangement turned out to be a multifaceted reaction with a ‘chameleonic’ nature, ranging from homoaromatic transition structures to biradical intermediates in substituted cases, and six‐electron transition states in the parent system. Additionally, the Cope rearrangement served as an excellent example to probe theoretical methods for the computations of a variety of pericyclic reactions. However, the relationship of the Cope rearrangement with analogous reactions has been hampered by the notion that pericyclic reactions typically are assumed to proceed in a concerted fashion. Only in the past 10 years, the Cope reaction, with its 1,5‐hexadiene unit, emerged as the structural and mechanistic prototype of a large family, including sigmatropic, cycloaddition, and other electrocyclic reactions as well as thermal rearrangements of polyunsaturated systems, enediynes, eneyne‐allenes, and many others. The recurrent and interconnecting motif in this family of reactions is the questions regarding cyclic aromatic transition states and the possible involvement of biradical intermediates. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Density functional theory with London dispersion corrections
Authors: Grimme Stefan 
Published: June 2011

AbstractDispersion corrections to standard Kohn–Sham density functional theory (DFT) are reviewed. The focus is on computationally efficient methods for large systems that do not depend on virtual orbitals or rely on separated fragments. The recommended approaches (van der Waals density functional and DFT‐D) are asymptotically correct and can be used in combination with standard or slightly modified (short‐range) exchange–correlation functionals. The importance of the dispersion energy in intramolecular cases (conformational problems and thermochemistry) is highlighted. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A Case Study of Liberation Among Latino Immigrant Families Who Have Children with Disabilities
Authors: Balcazar Fabricio E. , Suarez-Balcazar Yolanda , Adames Sandra Bibiana , Keys Christopher B. , García-Ramírez Manuel , Paloma Virginia 
Published: June 2011

AbstractLatino immigrant families with children with disabilities experience multiple sources of oppression during their settlement process in the United States. Unfair social structures and dominant cultural values and norms and the way they influence the immigrants’ personal life stories generate a cycle of oppression very difficult to break. This paper presents a case study of how a group of Latino parents carried out a process of liberation fueled by the generation of empowering community narratives (critical awareness leading to transformative action) that resulted from a community‐university partnership. Participants initiated a process that led them to discover their own stories of oppression and create new stories; to deconstruct the dominant cultural narratives and modify existing ones; and to understand contexts for power sharing. This joint reflection and increased awareness propelled group members to take action by founding a grassroots organization to redress some of the injustices that were partly responsible for their oppression, thus generating shifts at the personal, relational, and collective levels. In light of the theory of liberation, we discuss the participants’ development of critical awareness that led them to take action to address their unmet needs.
Phase Behavior of Palm Oil in Blends with Palm‐Based Diacylglycerol
Authors: Saberi Amir Hossein , Chin‐Ping Tan , Oi‐Ming Lai 
Published: June 2011

AbstractPhase behavior of palm oil (PO) in blends with different concentrations (10% intervals) of palm‐based diacylglycerol oil (PO‐DAG) was studied using the iso‐solid diagram, solid fat content (SFC) with the hardness thermal protocol, DSC melting and crystallization curves, X‐ray diffraction curves, and texture analysis (hardness). Minor eutectic effects were observed at around 20–50% PO‐DAG in 20–50% SFC iso‐lines. The phase behavior predicted by the iso‐solid diagram as well as SFC with the hardness thermal protocol did not account for hardness variations observed between PO and PO blends with 10–40% PO‐DAG. Nevertheless, the latter could be attributed to the corresponding DSC data as well as crystal polymorphism. However, as the concentration of PO‐DAG increased from 40% to 100%, iso‐line temperatures, SFC with the hardness thermal protocol, and also hardness were found to steadily increase. PO‐DAG at 10% concentration was found to have a β′‐stabilizing effect on the polymorphism of PO, while a β‐tending effect was observed as the concentration of PO‐DAG increased from 10% to 90%.
Chromosomal Location of HWA1 and HWA2, Complementary Hybrid Weakness Genes in Rice
Authors: Ichitani Katsuyuki , Taura Satoru , Tezuka Takahiro , Okiyama Yuuya , Kuboyama Tsutomu 
Published: June 2011

Abstract
Hybrid weakness phenomena in rice reportedly have two causes: those of HWC1 and HWC2 genes and those of HWA1 and HWA2 genes. No detailed study of the latter has been reported. For this study, we first produced crosses among cultivars carrying the weakness-causing allele on the HWA1 and HWA2 loci to confirm the phenotype of the hybrid weakness and the genotypes of the cultivars on the two loci, as reported earlier. We then confirmed that these cultivars belong to Indica. Subsequent linkage analysis of HWA1 and HWA2 genes conducted using DNA markers revealed that both genes are located in the 1,637-kb region, surrounded by the same DNA markers on the long arm of chromosome 11. The possibility of allelic interaction inducing hybrid weakness is discussed.
Don't trust anyone over 30: Parental legitimacy as a mediator between parenting style and changes in delinquent behavior over time
Authors: Trinkner Rick , Cohn Ellen S. , Rebellon Cesar J. , Van Gundy Karen 
Published: June 2011

ABSTRACTBoth law and society scholars and developmental psychologists have focused on the legitimacy of authority figures, although in different domains (police versus parents). The purpose of the current research is to bridge these two fields by examining the relations among parenting style (i.e., authoritarian, authoritative, permissive), the perception of parental legitimacy, and changes in delinquency over time. It is hypothesized that parental legitimacy mediates the relation between parenting style and future delinquent behavior. Middle school and high school students completed questionnaires three times over a period of 18 months. Parenting style and delinquent behavior were measured at time 1, parental legitimacy at time 2, and delinquency again at time 3. The results show that authoritative parenting was positively related to parental legitimacy, while authoritarian parenting was negatively associated with parental legitimacy. Furthermore, parental legitimacy was negatively associated with future delinquency. Structural equation modeling indicated that parental legitimacy mediated the relation between parenting styles and changes in delinquency over the 18‐month time period. The implications for parenting style and parental legitimacy affecting delinquent behavior are discussed.

Published: June 2011

AbstractObjectiveTo assess women's willingness to collect their own samples for HPV testing as the first part of a screening program for cervical cancer in Uganda.MethodsIn March and April 2010, trained assistants from Kisenyi interviewed 300 women aged 30 to 65 years who lived and/or worked in this community. Descriptive data and multivariate modeling were used to identify the predictors of the women's willingness to collect their own cervical samples.ResultsMore than 80% of the 300 participants were willing to collect their own samples. In multivariate modeling, factors positively associated with this willingness were agreement to let outreach workers deliver the necessary swab at their homes (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 4.10; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.83–9.18) and willingness to undergo a pelvic examination if the sample was abnormal (AOR, 3.91; 95% CI,1.03–14.90). Factors negatively associated were embarrassment at collecting the sample at home where they lacked privacy (AOR, 0.09; 95% CI, 0.03–0.29) and concern of not collecting the sample properly (AOR, 0.1; 95% CI, 0.05–0.3).ConclusionSelf‐collection is an option in impoverished settings in Africa. To improve acceptability, women should be taught how to properly collect their own cervical sample and encouraged to find ways to make the collection less embarrassing.

Published: June 2011

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the effects of keishibukuryogan (TJ‐25)—a medicine of the Kampo tradition (the Japanese adaptation of Chinese herbal medicine)—on middle‐aged women with high blood pressure.MethodsThe records of 77 peri‐ and postmenopausal women with high‐normal blood pressure or hypertension were analyzed retrospectively. The women had participated in the Systematic Health and Nutrition Education Program at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University in Tokyo, Japan, and had received education only (controls; n = 47) or education and treatment with TJ‐25 (n = 30).ResultsThe baseline characteristics of the 2 groups were comparable. After approximately 6 months, women in the TJ‐25 group showed significant reductions in their systolic blood pressure (from 148.4 mm Hg to 134.8 mm Hg), diastolic blood pressure (from 89.7 mm Hg to 83.7 mm Hg), pulse rate (from 79.5 beats/min to 73.5 beats/min), and resting energy expenditure (from 1552 kcal/day to 1373 kcal/day). Several menopausal symptoms including perspiration, difficulty in initiating sleep, nonrestorative sleep, and headaches/dizziness were also improved. In addition, women in the TJ‐25 group had increased health‐related quality of life scores in the domains of physical health and life satisfaction.ConclusionTJ‐25 alleviates menopausal symptoms and concurrently lowers the blood pressure of middle‐aged women with high blood pressure.
