Determination of dyeing levelness using surface irregularity function
Authors: Günay Melih 
Published: June 2009

AbstractAn acceptably dyed fabric must be a match to the target and is visually even in appearance, that is, level. Although color difference measurement can objectively determine whether a match has been achieved, levelness is still determined subjectively, leading to inevitable disagreements between dyer and customer. The levelness of a series of dyed fabrics has been objectively evaluated using a surface irregularity function derived from analysis of digital images of the fabrics. The measurements derived correlate more closely to visual assessment than do K/S measurements. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Col Res Appl, 34, 285–290, 2009
Multiangle study on color of textile structures
Authors: Moussa Ali , Dupont Daniel , Steen Daniel , Zeng Xianyi 
Published: June 2009

AbstractThis article studies the influence of the incidence angle of illumination and the textile structure on its coloristic rendering. Three geometric measurements of color (25°a:0°, 45°a:0°, and 75°a:0°) and three different structures (roving, yarn, and woven fabric) were used. The transformations of the reflectance factor spectrum because of the changes of these two parameters were modeled and the evolutions of the colorimetric coordinates associated with these various transformations were thus calculated and analyzed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the relations between color, gloss, and surface texture in injection‐molded plastics
Authors: Ignell Sofie , Kleist Ulf , Rigdahl Mikael 
Published: June 2009

AbstractThe relation between color and gloss of injection‐molded plastic specimens was evaluated by means of a 45°/0° geometry spectrophotometer and a glossmeter. The specimens were plaques having one smooth, glossy field and one rougher, textured region made of two different polymeric materials (acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene and polypropylene) in a range of colors. A significant influence of the lightness L* of the specimens on the measured gloss of the textured field, with a low gloss appearance, was found. This can probably be attributed to a contribution from bulk scattering, which is linked to the reflectance from within the specimen. The influence of texture on the measured color of the plaques was assessed by evaluating the color difference between the smooth field and the more textured area on the specimens. When the surface was textured, the color changed; in general it became lighter and less saturated. The magnitude of the change depended on the color of the material. The darker the material was, the larger was the increase in lightness L* as the surface became rougher. The shift in chroma C* was determined not only by the saturation but also by the lightness of the specimens. Darker specimens exhibited a larger decrease in chroma when the surface was textured. The change in the measured color caused by increasing the surface roughness could be predicted in a satisfactory manner using a model developed for xerographic printing paper. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A flow cytometric assay for the study of E3 ubiquitin ligase activity
Authors: Hilliard Joshua G. , Cooper Anne L. , Slusser Joyce G. , Davido David J. 
Published: June 2009

AbstractCurrent methods for monitoring E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in cell culture or in vivo are limited. As a result, the degradation of cellular targets by many E3 ubiquitin ligases in live cells has not yet been examined. For this study, a target of an E3 ubiquitin ligase was expressed as a fluorescently labeled protein in cell culture. If the E3 ubiquitin ligase mediates the degradation of a target protein in cell culture, it is expected that the target will show a reduced fluorescence signal by FCM analysis. We initially used the E3 ubiquitin ligase, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV‐1) infected cell protein 0 (ICP0) and one of its targets, promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein, to determine the feasibility of our approach. Cells expressing a PML‐GFP fusion protein were selected by cell sorting and infected with an adenoviral vector expressing ICP0. In contrast to mock‐infected cells, only PML‐GFP‐expressing cells infected with the ICP0 adenoviral vector led to a significant decrease in the fluorescence signal of PML‐GFP when examined by fluorescence microscopy and FCM analysis. Our results suggest that it is possible to examine the live activity of an E3 ubiquitin ligase (via one of its targets) in cell culture by FCM analysis. © 2009 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry
Enrichment and expansion of cells using antibody‐coated micropallet arrays
Authors: Shadpour Hamed , Sims Christopher E. , Allbritton Nancy L. 
Published: June 2009

AbstractPositive selection, sorting, and collection of single cells from within a heterogeneous population are required for many biological studies. We recently demonstrated a miniaturized cell array for this purpose; however, on‐chip pre‐enrichment and isolation of specific target cells would provide significant value for cell isolation. In the current work, mixed cell samples of fewer than 30,000 cells were used for panning by means of on‐array antibody‐capture to pre‐enrich the target population. The cell surface receptors FcεR1, c‐Kit, and ErbB2 were used for positive selection of RBL, RBL, and SK‐BR‐3 cells, respectively, from the mixed population. The capture efficiency, selectivity, and enrichment for the target cells were calculated and compared with fibronectin‐coated controls. As expected, the capture efficiency depended on the frequency of the target cell in the mixed population over the range of 0.3–33%. For a frequency of 5% target cells, the capture efficiency was 39%–53% for the three conditions, while the selectivity varied between 78% and 98% with 16–20‐fold enrichment. Furthermore, single‐cell cloning studies demonstrated a high cloning efficiency of target cells selectively isolated from the array. Antibody‐based pre‐enrichment in combination with micropallet‐based cell selection will be a valuable tool for isolation and expansion of rare cells from small heterogeneous populations. © 2009 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry

Published: June 2009

AbstractTemporal lobe seizures can induce the proliferation and abnormal migration of newly generated dentate granule cells, but little is known about the molecular mechanisms that govern these pathological events. Reelin and DISC1 (disrupted‐in‐schizophrenia 1) are proteins that play a regulatory role in the maturation and integration of new neurons in the developing and adult brain. In this study, we examined whether amygdala kindling results in aberrant neurogenesis and altered expression of reelin and DISC1 in the adult dentate gyrus. Using doublecortin immunohistochemistry, we found that short‐term kindling (i.e., 30 electrical stimulations) significantly increased the number of immature neurons in the dentate subgranular zone (SGZ), whereas long‐term kindling (i.e., 99 electrical stimulations) did not. However, doublecortin‐labeled neurons in long‐term kindled rats showed greater dendritic complexity than they did in short‐term kindled or control rats. We also found that long‐term kindling decreased the number of reelin‐positive cells and decreased DISC1 expression in the dentate granule cell layer and subgranular zone. Interestingly, kindling‐induced changes in reelin and DISC1 expression coincided with the appearance of ectopically located Prox1‐labeled granule cells in the hilus. These effects occurred independently of alterations in granule cell layer length, dentate volume, or the number of hilar neurons. Taken together, these findings suggest a novel role for DISC1 in the pathophysiology of temporal lobe epilepsy and further suggest that changes in reelin and DISC1 expression may contribute to aberrant neurogenesis in the kindling model. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Life History, Reproduction, Growth, Population Dynamics and Production of Gammarus aequicauda (Crustacea: Amphipoda) at Extremely Low Salinities in a Mediterranean Lagoon
Authors: Kevrekidis Theodoros , Kourakos Georgios , Boubonari Theodora 
Published: June 2009

AbstractAspects of the biology of Gammarus aequicauda were studied at extremely low salinities (0.3–5.7 psu) in Monolimni Lagoon, N. Aegean Sea. Samples were collected monthly from February 1998 to February 1999. Breeding occurred continuously but peaked in late spring, late summer and autumn and three cohorts were produced. The spring and summer cohorts showed fast growth (0.15 mm d–1), accelerated maturity and life span of about three and seven months respectively, while the overwintering cohort showed a life span of about nine months. The largest individual had a body length of 23.6 mm. Mean brood size was 54.5 early embryos, while the intramarsupial loss was 46%. Population density sharply increased in late spring, summer and autumn. Secondary production calculated by Hynes' method gave a mean annual density of 1077.4 ind. m–2, a mean annual crop (B) of 2.93 g DW m–2, an annual production (P) of 35.03 g DW m–2 and a P: B ratio of 11.96. Gammarus aequicauda showed a life‐history pattern similar to those previously reported for this species at higher salinity environments with comparatively large final body length and high growth rate during summer, brood size and P: B ratio, but with high embryo loss as well.

Experimental and theoretical study of the polarized infrared spectra of the hydrogen bond in 3‐thiophenic acid crystal
Authors: Najeh Rekik , Houcine Ghalla , Flakus Henryk T. , Jablonska Magdalena , Brahim Oujia 
Published: June 2009

AbstractThis article presents the results of experimental and theoretical studies of the vOH and vOD band shapes in the polarized infrared spectra of 3‐thiophenic acid crystals measured at room temperature and at 77 K. The line shapes are studied theoretically within the framework of the anharmonic coupling theory, Davydov coupling, Fermi resonance, direct and indirect damping, as well as the selection rule breaking mechanism for forbidden transitions. The adiabatic approximation allowing to separate the high‐frequency motion from the slow one of the H‐bond bridge is performed for each separate H‐bond bridge of the dimer and a strong nonadiabatic correction is introduced via the resonant exchange between the fast‐mode excited states of the two moieties. The spectral density is obtained within the linear response theory by Fourier transform of the damped autocorrelation functions. The approach correctly fits the experimental line shape of the hydrogenated compound and predicts satisfactorily the evolution in the line shapes with temperature and the change in the line shape with isotopic substitution. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Comparison of three enveloping distribution sampling Hamiltonians for the estimation of multiple free energy differences from a single simulation
Authors: Christ Clara D. , Van Gunsteren Wilfred F. 
Published: June 2009

AbstractWe test the performance of three different reference state Hamiltonians for enveloping distribution sampling (EDS). EDS is an implementation of umbrella sampling which allows estimation of various free energy differences “on the fly” from a single simulation. This is achieved by construction of a reference state, which envelopes the regions of configuration space important to the various end states of interest. The proposed Hamiltonians differ in the way energy barriers separating these regions of configuration space are reduced. The test system consisted of 17 disubstituted benzenes in water and in complex with α‐cyclodextrin. The calculated free energy differences correlate with thermodynamic integration results (R2 > 0.99 for the ligands in water and R2 > 0.98 for the ligands in complex with α‐cyclodextrin). One of the reference state Hamiltonians outperformed the others in sampling the configuration space important to the various end states. In this reference state not all barriers between all pairs of states are reduced. Instead a minimum spanning tree of states is calculated, which connects states that are “closest” in configuration space. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem 2009
A community‐driven behavioral health approach for older adults: lessons learned
Authors: Wood Anita H. , Alberta Anthony J. 
Published: June 2009

AbstractThis paper examines the lessons learned from the implementation of the Sembrando Salud/Sowing Wellness integrated healthcare program in rural Southeastern Arizona. The isolation and lack of resources characterizing the experience of many seniors in this ethnically diverse community, combined with the impact that depression and diabetes have on their lives, dramatically pointed to the need for depression prevention and treatment activities delivered in a manner that recognizes factors that inhibit participation in behavioral health interventions. The relationship between physical health, especially diabetes, and depression provided an ideal framework for testing a community‐based holistic prevention and treatment approach that eliminated the stigma often associated with mental health illness and treatment. The program philosophy recognizes the consumer as agent of behavioral health change, and provides opportunities for meaningful involvement, including participation in making all program decisions. Dramatic recoveries from depression have resulted from a culturally specific implementation based on community empowerment. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Promoting evidence‐based practices: the adoption of a prevention support system in community settings
Authors: Hunter Sarah B. , Paddock Susan M. , Ebener Patricia , Burkhart A. K. , Chinman Matthew 
Published: June 2009

AbstractPrevention support systems (PSSs) are designed to help communities implement evidence‐based practices (EBPs). Little is known about the factors that influence their adoption. In this article, we examined adoption of a PSS for substance abuse prevention called Getting To Outcomes (GTO)® among staff in two community coalitions with varying levels of exposure to it over a 2‐year period. A multistage regression model was used to determine the relative predictive power of organizational, innovation‐related, and practitioner characteristics on adoption. Findings indicate that GTO adoption occurred through increased exposure, especially via staff training. Perceptions of the system's complexity moderated this effect. Individuals with high GTO exposure were less likely to adopt it if they perceived it as complex. Other organizational, innovation‐related, and practitioner characteristics did not predict adoption. Results from this study are useful for understanding the factors associated with PSS adoption and suggest ways to increase their use in typical delivery settings. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Damaged youth: prevalence of community violence exposure and implications for adolescent well‐being in post‐conflict Northern Ireland
Authors: McAloney Kareena , McCrystal Patrick , Percy Andrew , McCartan Claire 
Published: June 2009

AbstractAs Northern Ireland transitions to a post‐conflict society the nature of violent victimization and its influence on adolescents following the “Troubles” becomes an even more important area of interest. Adolescents are particularly at risk of victimization and associated social, emotional, and psychological health problems. In this analysis of the fifth year of the Belfast Youth Development Study (BYDS), the prevalence and implications of exposure to violence is examined for a sample of 3,828 young people (aged 15–16 years). Knowledge of violent events was particularly prevalent suggesting that the social and psychological legacy of the “Troubles” may pass onto post‐conflict generations. Over three quarters of young people had experienced violence within their community. Exposure was associated with higher levels of depression, psychotic symptoms, and substance misuse. The findings suggest that adolescents in Northern Ireland are vulnerable to both direct and vicarious victimization, and, subsequently, to significant risks to psychological well‐being. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Evolutionary conservation of Dazl genomic organization and its continuous and dynamic distribution throughout germline development in gynogenetic gibel carp
Authors: Peng Jin‐Xia , Xie Jian‐Li , Zhou Li , Hong Yun‐Han , Gui Jian‐Fang 
Published: June 2009

AbstractTo investigate germline development and germ cell specification, we identified a Dazl homolog (CagDazl) from gynogenetic gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio). Its cDNA sequence and BAC clone sequence analyses revealed the genomic organization conservation and conserved synteny of the Dazl family members and their neighborhood genes among vertebrates, especially in fish. Moreover, a polyclonal antibody specific to CagDazl was produced and used to examine its expression and distribution throughout germline development at protein level. Firstly, ovary‐specific expression pattern of CagDazl was confirmed in adult tissues by RT‐PCR and Western blot. In addition, in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence localization demonstrated its specific expression in germ cells, and both its transcript and protein were localized to germ plasm. Then, co‐localization of CagDazl and mitochondrial cloud was found, confirming that CagDazl transcript and its protein are germ plasm component and move via METRO pathway during oogenesis. Furthermore, the CagDazl is abundant and continuous throughout germline development and germ cell specification including primordial germ cell (PGC) formation, oogonium differentiation, oocyte development, and embryogenesis, and the dynamic distribution occurs at different development stages. The data suggest that maternal CagDazl might play an important role in gibel carp PGC formation. Therefore, CagDazl is a useful and specific marker for tracing germ plasm and germ cell development in the gynogenetic gibel carp. In addition, in comparison with previous studies in sexual reproduction species, the continuous and dynamic distribution of CagDazl protein in the germ plasm throughout the life cycle seems to have significant implication in sex evolution of vertebrates.

The relationship between multiple levels of learning practices and objective and subjective organizational financial performance
Authors: Di Milia Lee , Birdi Kamal 
Published: June 2009

AbstractMulti‐level learning approaches suggest that individuals, groups and organizations act both independently and interact dynamically to contribute to organizational performance. We directly examined this proposition in an Australian sample using a longitudinal design that employed subjective and objective financial performance data. Respondents completed a survey that provided details on their individual, team and organizational learning practices (ILP, TLP and OLP, respectively), and self assessed performance compared to 3 years ago. Concurrently, we collected objective performance data (sales/employee numbers) at 3 yearly intervals and averaged these data to create an index. Using hierarchical and moderated regression, we found a positive main effect for OLP with both subjective and objective performance. Main effects for ILP and TLP were not found. Further, we found a significant interaction between ILP and TLP such that the effect of TLP on productivity was better in organizations with less ILP. Three‐way interactions were not found. Overall, these results provide some support for the model. We discuss some limitations of the study and make recommendations for future studies. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
