“Until This Curse of Polygamy Is Wiped Out”: Black Methodists, White Mormons, and Constructions of Racial Identity in the Late Nineteenth Century
Authors: Bennett James B. 
Published: July 2011

AbstractDuring the final quarter of the nineteenth century, black members of the Methodist Episcopal (ME) Church published a steady stream of anti-Mormonism in their weekly newspaper, the widely read and distributedSouthwestern Christian Advocate. This anti-Mormonism functioned as way for black ME Church members to articulate their denomination's distinctive racial ideology. Black ME Church members believed that their racially mixed denomination, imperfect though it was, offered the best model for advancing black citizens toward equality in both the Christian church and the American nation. Mormons, as a religious group who separated themselves in both identity and practice and as a community experiencing persecution, were a useful negative example of the dangers of abandoning the ME quest for inclusion. Black ME Church members emphasized their Christian faithfulness and American patriotism, in contrast to Mormon religious heterodoxy and political insubordination, as arguments for acceptance as equals in both religious and political institutions. At the same time, anti-Mormon rhetoric also proved a useful tool for reflecting on the challenges of African American life, regardless of denominational affiliation. For example, anti-polygamy opened space to comment on the precarious position of black women and families in the post-bellum South. In addition, cataloguing Mormon intellectual, moral, and social deficiencies became a form of instruction in the larger project of black uplift, by which African Americans sought to enter the ranks and privileges of the American middle class. In the end, however, black ME Church members found themselves increasingly segregated within their denomination and in society at large, even as Mormons, once considered both racially and religiously inferior, were welcomed into the nation as citizens and equals.
An “Aristocracy of Virtue”: Cultural Development of the American Catholic Priesthood, 1884–1920s
Authors: Drucker Donna J. 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThis article examines advice literature directed at English-speaking members of the American Catholic priesthood in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. From the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1884 through the late 1920s, advice literature transformed from emphasizing how the priest should be a man set above the laity into emphasizing how the priest should be part of a broad priestly fraternity, taking on the role of a public citizen speaking out on issues of the day. After the modernist controversies of the first decade of the twentieth century that stifled their intellectual development, American priests’ seminary training particularly emphasized virile masculinity, athletic rigor, and duty and conformity to their superiors. In the late nineteenth century, advice literature encouraged priests to see their lives together in rectories as schools of charity, where all of the priests would, with the assistance of obedient and nonthreatening household staff, encourage each other to be men of prayer and self-sacrifice despite each others’ individual foibles. Every aspect of a priest's life, from the rectory environment to his clothing and bearing, was supposed to mark him as a man set apart. During and after World War I, however, advice literature shifted from addressing the priest's life in his rectory and parish alone to encouraging him to participate in civic duties as an American citizen. Diocesan priests like John A. Ryan took a lead role in advocating for social reforms that married public policy with social and economic justice. While priests’ sacramental duties remained at the center of their lives and ministries, advice literature nonetheless encouraged them to rethink their place in the sociocultural landscape and to become more vocal promoters of Catholic values in the public sphere.

Technical Efficiency and Potential Productivity Gains of French Grain Farms,
by Isabelle Piot, Jean-Philippe Boussemart, Benoît Dervaux and Dominique Vermersch.

This study examines the hypothesis that the level of microeconomic efficiency influences the extent to which agricultural market regulation policies are efficient. The case study used is the May 1992 CAP reform, which provides for curbing the rise in grain output. We use a non-parametric approach in an intertemporal framework to estimate technical inefficiencies and inefficiencies of scale for a sample of grain farms. The measured inefficiencies are interpreted as potential productivity gains, given here in the form of the increase in cereal yields per hectare. The total absorption of pure technical inefficiency should therefore result in a 10% to 12% increase in cereal yields.

Magali : un modelo de oferta de la agriculture francesa,
por Marie- Annick Mathieu, José Ramanantsoa.

Magali (Modelo agrícola que analiza los enlaces intrasectoriales) es un modelo macroeconómico dinámico de la agricultura francesa. Su objetivo es describir la evolución a mediano plazo del sector tal y como se le présenta en las cuentas nationales y en particular la oferta de productos agrícolas, la formación del valor añadido y del ingreso agrícola. Permite también representar la evolución estructural del sector a través de la inversión, la tierra y el núméro de explotaciones. Establece por lo tante relaciones cuantificadas entre los indicadores esenciales de la agricultura francesa : precio de los outputs, precios de los inputs, superficies, rendimientos, riqueza ganadera, producciones, intraconsumos, ingreso, productividad y estructura. Magali es un modelo esencialmente de oferta, aún si se extiende, para ciertos productos a equilibrios parciales. Este artículo presenta la articulación entre los distintos bloques del modelo, las especificaciones asi como las estimaciones de las principales ecuaciones que lo componen.

Situated on the bank of the Rhône river above Lyon, the mausoleum was erected in the beginning of the 3rd century AC for a curator nautarum rhodanicorum and his family. The funerary inscription did make a will provision giving it the form of a real cepotaphium.
Nouvelles recherches sur les cryptoportiques d'Arles et la topographie du centre de la colonie
Authors: Heijmans Marc 
Published: July 2011

Après un exposé sur l'histoire du dégagement des cryptoportiques et les fouilles anciennes, l'auteur distingue quatre phases principales de construction, d'après des documents inédits et des sondages et observations récents (1990-1991).
1. Epoque préromaine (VIe-Ier s. av. J.-C). Ensemble de rues perpendiculaires, utilisées presque sans interruption ou changement.
2. Epoque augustéenne. Construction des cryptoportiques et le forum, avec au nord une galerie à boutiques, sans liaison directe avec le forum. Devant ces boutiques se trouvait une place plutôt qu'une rue, peut-être le macellum.
La fouille du sol dans les cryptoportiques montre qu'ils étaient très mal entretenus.
3. Fin Ier - début IIe siècle (?). Construction d'un édifice au milieu de la galerie nord, coupant celle-ci en deux. Il n'y a toujours pas de communication entre le forum et la place au nord.
4. Antiquité tardive. Construction d'une galerie à arcades devant les boutiques et agrandissement de l'édifice central vers le nord, avec construction d'une nouvelle façade, faite avec des éléments d'architecture remployés.
A partir du Ve siècle, le dallage du forum est occupé par des habitations parasitaires, et les galeries sont utilisées comme lieu de stockage.

Consumer complaints and recovery through guaranteeing self‐service technology
Authors: Robertson Nichola , McQuilken Lisa , Kandampully Jay 
Published: July 2011

ABSTRACTSelf‐service technologies are shaping the future of consumer behaviour, yet consumers often experience service failure in this context. This conceptual paper focuses on self‐service technology failure and recovery. A consumer perspective is taken. Recovering from self‐service technology failure is fraught with difficulty, mainly because of the absence of service personnel. The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical framework and associated research propositions in respect to the positive role that service guarantees can play in the context of self‐service technology failure and recovery. It contributes to the consumer behaviour domain by unifying the theory pertaining to consumer complaint behaviour, service recovery, specifically consumers' perceptions of justice, and service guarantees, which are set in a distinctive self‐service technology context. It is advanced that service guarantees, specifically multiple attribute‐specific guarantees, are associated with consumer voice complaints following self‐service technology failure, which is contingent on the attribution of blame in the light of consumers' production role. Service guarantees are argued to be associated with consumers' perceptions of just recovery in the self‐service technology context when they promise to fix the problem, compensate only when the problem cannot be remedied, offer a choice of compensation that is contingent on failure severity, afford ease of invocation and collection, and provide a personalised response to failures. Previous classifications of SSTs are used to highlight the applicability of guarantees for different types of SSTs. Managerial implications based on the theoretical framework are presented, along with future research directions. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Extracellular matrix and matrix receptors in blood–brain barrier formation and stroke
Authors: Baeten Kim M. , Akassoglou Katerina 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThe blood–brain barrier (BBB) is formed primarily to protect the brain microenvironment from the influx of plasma components, which may disturb neuronal functions. The BBB is a functional unit that consists mainly of specialized endothelial cells (ECs) lining the cerebral blood vessels, astrocytes, and pericytes. The BBB is a dynamic structure that is altered in neurologic diseases, such as stroke. ECs and astrocytes secrete extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins to generate and maintain the basement membranes (BMs). ECM receptors, such as integrins and dystroglycan, are also expressed at the brain microvasculature and mediate the connections between cellular and matrix components in physiology and disease. ECM proteins and receptors elicit diverse molecular signals that allow cell adaptation to environmental changes and regulate growth and cell motility. The composition of the ECM is altered upon BBB disruption and directly affects the progression of neurologic disease. The purpose of this review is to discuss the dynamic changes of ECM composition and integrin receptor expression that control BBB functions in physiology and pathology. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Power system small‐signal stability as affected by grid‐connected photovoltaic generation
Authors: Du Wenjuan , Wang Haifeng , Xiao L‐Y. 
Published: July 2011

SUMMARYThis paper investigates the impact of a grid‐connected large photovoltaic (PV) power generation station on the power system small‐signal stability. The focus of discussion in the paper is the damping of local‐mode power system oscillations. Hence, a simple single‐machine infinite‐bus power system with the grid‐connected PV generation station is used. Firstly, a comprehensive model of the single‐machine infinite‐bus power system integrated with the PV generation station is established. Then the conventional technique of the damping torque analysis is employed to examine the effect of the PV generation on the damping of power system local‐mode oscillations. Analysis in the paper reveals that there exists a critical operating condition when the damping torque contribution from the PV station to the electromechanical oscillation loop of conventional generator changes sign. Hence, the small‐signal stability of the power system can be affected negatively by the PV penetration when it operates beyond the critical operating condition. In the paper, an example power system is presented. The results of numerical computation and non‐linear simulation demonstrate and confirm all the analytical conclusions obtained.

Model‐based nonlinear inverse reconstruction for T2 mapping using highly undersampled spin‐echo MRI
Authors: Sumpf Tilman J. , Uecker Martin , Boretius Susann , Frahm Jens 
Published: July 2011

AbstractPurpose:To develop a model‐based reconstruction technique for T2 mapping based on multi‐echo spin‐echo MRI sequences with highly undersampled Cartesian data encoding.Materials and Methods:The proposed technique relies on a nonlinear inverse reconstruction algorithm which directly estimates a T2 and spin‐density map from a train of undersampled spin echoes. The method is applicable to acquisitions with single receiver coils but benefits from multi‐element coil arrays. The algorithm is validated for trains of 16 spin echoes with a spacing of 10 to 12 ms using numerical simulations as well as human brain MRI at 3 Tesla (T).Results:When compared with a standard T2 fitting procedure using fully sampled T2‐weighted images, and depending on the available signal‐to‐noise ratio and number of coil elements, model‐based nonlinear inverse reconstructions for both simulated and in vivo MRI data yield accurate T2 estimates for undersampling factors of 5 to 10.Conclusion:This work describes a promising strategy for T2‐weighted MRI that simultaneously offers accurate T2 relaxation times and properly T2‐weighted images at arbitrary echo times. For a standard spin‐echo MRI sequence with Cartesian encoding, the method allows for a much higher degree of undersampling than obtainable by conventional parallel imaging. J. Magn. Reson.

Compact ultra‐wideband printed monopole antenna having frequency band‐notch characteristic using defected ground structure
Authors: Abdollahvand M. , Dadashzadeh G. R. , Ebrahimian H. , Ojaroudi M. 
Published: July 2011

AbstractA compact band‐notch ultra‐wideband (UWB) printed monopole antenna is proposed, where the band‐notch characteristic is realized by adding defected ground structure (DGS) or slit in the ground plane. Also, by inserting T‐shaped stubs in the ground plane, additional resonance is excited and hence the bandwidth is increased up to 118%. The proposed monopole antenna has ultrawide impedance bandwidth, compact size, and omni‐directional H‐plane radiation patterns which are suitable for various broadband applications. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

General Job Stress: A Unidimensional Measure and Its Non‐linear Relations with Outcome Variables
Authors: Yankelevich Maya , Broadfoot Alison , Gillespie Jennifer Z. , Gillespie Michael A. , Guidroz Ashley 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThis article aims to examine the non‐linear relations between a general measure of job stress [Stress in General (SIG)] and two outcome variables: intentions to quit and job satisfaction. In so doing, we also re‐examine the factor structure of the SIG and determine that, as a two‐factor scale, it obscures non‐linear relations with outcomes. Thus, in this research, we not only test for non‐linear relations between stress and outcome variables but also present an updated version of the SIG scale. Using two distinct samples of working adults (sample 1, N = 589; sample 2, N = 4322), results indicate that a more parsimonious eight‐item SIG has better model‐data fit than the 15‐item two‐factor SIG and that the eight‐item SIG has non‐linear relations with job satisfaction and intentions to quit. Specifically, the revised SIG has an inverted curvilinear J‐shaped relation with job satisfaction such that job satisfaction drops precipitously after a certain level of stress; the SIG has a J‐shaped curvilinear relation with intentions to quit such that turnover intentions increase exponentially after a certain level of stress.

Dietary lipids are known to affect the composition of the biological membrane and functions that are involved in cell death and survival. The mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes are membrane protein complexes whose function depends on the composition and fluidity of the mitochondrial membrane lipid. The present study aimed at investigating the impact of different nutritional patterns of dietary lipids on liver mitochondrial functions. A total of forty-eight Wistar male rats were divided into six groups and fed for 12 weeks with a basal diet, lard diet or fish oil diet, containing either 50 or 300 g lipid/kg. The 30 % lipid intake increased liver NEFA, TAG and cholesterol levels, increased mitochondrial NEFA and TAG, and decreased phospholipid (PL) levels. SFA, PUFA and unsaturation index (UI) increased, whereas MUFA andtrans-fatty acids (FA) decreased in the mitochondrial membrane PL in 30 % fat diet-fed rats compared with 5 % lipid diet-fed rats. PL UI increased with fish oil dietv.basal and lard-rich diets, and PLtrans-FA increased with lard dietv.basal and fish oil diets. The 30 % lipid diet intake increased mitochondrial membrane potential, membrane fluidity, mitochondrial respiration and complex V activity, and decreased complex III and IV activities. With regard to lipid quality effects, β-oxidation decreased with the intake of basal or fish oil diets compared with that of the lard diet. The intake of a fish oil diet decreased complex III and IV activities compared with both the basal and lard diets. In conclusion, the characteristics and mitochondrial functions of the rat liver mitochondrial membrane are more profoundly altered by the quantity of dietary lipid than by its quality, which may have profound impacts on the pathogenesis and development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Influence of Erythrocyte Transfusion on the Risk of Acute Kidney Injury after Cardiac Surgery Differs in Anemic and Nonanemic Patients

Published: July 2011

Background
Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a major health issue. Two important risk factors for AKI are preoperative anemia and perioperative erythrocyte transfusion, and elucidating their relationship may help in devising preventive strategies.

Methods
In this cohort study of 12,388 adults who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and received three units or less of erythrocytes on the day of surgery, the authors used propensity score methods and conditional logistic regression to explore the relationship between preoperative anemia (hemoglobin less than 12.5 g/dL), erythrocyte transfusion on the day of surgery, and AKI (more than 50% decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate from preoperative to postoperative day 3-4).

Results
AKI occurred in 4.1% of anemic patients (n = 94/2,287) and 1.6% of nonanemic patients (n = 162 of 10,101) (P < 0.0001). In the 2,113 propensity-score matched pairs, anemic patients had higher AKI rates than nonanemic patients (3.8% vs. 2.0%; P = 0.0007). AKI rates increased in direct proportion to the amount of erythrocytes transfused, and this increase was more pronounced in anemic patients: in anemic patients, the rate increased from 1.8% among those not transfused to 6.6% among those transfused three units (chi-square test for trend P < 0.0001), whereas in nonanemic patients, it increased from 1.7% among those not transfused to 3.2% among those transfused three units (chi-square test for trend P = 0.1).

Conclusions
Anemic patients presenting for cardiac surgery are more susceptible to transfusion-related AKI than nonanemic patients. Interventions that reduce perioperative transfusions may protect anemic patients against AKI.
