Gender differences in the meanings consumers infer from music and other aesthetic stimuli
Authors: Meyers‐Levy Joan , Zhu Rui (Juliet) 
Published: September 2010

AbstractMusic can convey two meanings: one referential that consists of descriptive associations, and another embodied that is purely hedonic. We reasoned that consumer characteristics such as one's gender and Need for Cognition (NFC) can affect which meaning(s) of ad background music people use when forming product perceptions. Yet, are such meanings and their use unique to music, or could they extend to other forms of aesthetics? Two studies explore these issues, revealing parallel outcomes when background materials contain either music or graphic art designs: high (low) NFC males are sensitive to only referential (embodied) meaning, whereas females use both meanings.
Magnetization of electron–positron plasmas by Laguerre–Gaussian light beams
Authors: SHUKLA P. K. , ELIASSON B. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractIt is shown that the relativistic ponderomotive force of intense circularly polarized Laguerre–Gaussian electromagnetic beams can create the space charge electric field, which sets differential motions of the electrons and positrons in an electron–positron plasma. The resulting plasma current, in turn, creates quasi-stationary magnetic fields due to Faraday's law.

BackgroundMonoamine oxidase A (MAOA) is an important enzyme that metabolizes monoamines such as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. In prefrontal cortex, low MAOA binding is associated with aggression and high binding is associated with major depressive disorder (MDD) and also risk for recurrence of depressive episodes. In rodent models, low MAOA levels are associated with increased aggression and fear conditioning, and decreased social and exploratory investigative behaviors. Our objective was to measure MAOA binding in prefrontal cortex and concurrently evaluate a broad range of validated personality traits. We hypothesized that prefrontal MAOA binding would correlate negatively with angry-hostility, a trait related to aggression/anger, and positively with traits intuitively related to adaptive investigative behavior.MethodParticipants were aged 19–49 years, healthy and non-smoking. MAOA binding was measured with [11C]harmine positron emission tomography (PET) in prefrontal brain regions and personality traits were measured with the NEO Personality Inventory Revised (NEO PI-R).ResultsPrefrontal MAOA binding correlated negatively with angry-hostility (r=−0.515, p=0.001) and positively with deliberation (r=0.514, p=0.001). In a two-factor regression model, these facets explained 38% of variance in prefrontal MAOA binding. A similar relationship was found in prefrontal cortex subregions.ConclusionsWe propose a new continuum describing the relationship between personality and MAOA: deliberate/thoughtful contrasting aggressive/impulsive. Additionally, the association between high MAOA binding and greater deliberation may explain why some people have moderately high levels of MAOA, although very high levels occur during MDD. In health, higher MAOA binding is associated with an adaptive personality facet.
The ultimate sacrifice and the ethics of humanitarian intervention
Authors: BAER DANIEL 
Published: September 2010

AbstractThe discourse about the morality of humanitarian intervention – though undeniably well- (over-?) trodden in recent years – has two critical gaps. First, despite its central moral concern with the rights and lives of individuals living under massively oppressive states or terrible conditions, and despite its powerful attacks on traditional notions of state sovereignty, the discourse remains statist. Humanitarian intervention understood as something that states do, and if there is a right or responsibility to intervene it is a right or responsibility held by states. The second gap in the discourse follows from the first: because we think of humanitarian intervention as something that states do, the role of the individual soldiers who make up the intervening force – their rights and responsibilities – has been undertheorised.This article argues that a reconsideration of the role of individuals in the context of humanitarian intervention not only helps us to ensure that interventions are carried out in a manner consistent with their own justice claims, but also to recapture the moral heroism of those individuals who willingly sacrifice for the rights and lives of others. Although the moral issues raised here may demand a more constrained politics of humanitarian intervention, they also ultimately have an emancipating effect.
How far is it from Königsberg to Kandahar? Democratic peace and democratic violence in International Relations
Authors: GEIS ANNA , WAGNER WOLFGANG 
Published: September 2010

AbstractOver the last two decades, there has been a ‘democratic turn’ in peace and conflict research, that is, the peculiar impact of democratic politics on a wide range of security issues has attracted more and more attention. Many of these studies are inspired by Immanuel Kant's famous essay on ‘Perpetual Peace’. In this article, we present a critical discussion of the ‘democratic distinctiveness programme’ that emerged from the Democratic Peace debate and soon spread to cover a wider range of foreign policy issues. The bulk of this research has to date been based on an overly optimistic reading of a ‘Kantian peace’. In particular, the manifold forms of violence that democracies have exerted, have been treated either as a challenge to the Democratic Peace proposition or as an undemocratic contaminant and pre-democratic relict. In contrast, we argue that forms of ‘democratic violence’ should no longer be kept at arm's length from the democratic distinctiveness programme but instead should be elevated to a main field of study. While we acknowledge the benefits of this expanding research programme, we also address a number of normative pitfalls implied in this scholarship such as lending legitimacy to highly questionable foreign policy practices by Western democracies. We conclude with suggestions for a more self-reflexive and ‘critical’ research agenda of a ‘democratically turned’ peace and conflict studies, inspired by the Frankfurt school tradition.
Simulation of rigid-body impact using the articulated-body algorithm
Authors: Carvalho André , Suleman Afzal 
Published: September 2010

SUMMARYThis paper presents a numerical algorithm to model the impact between articulated structures, or between an articulated structure and an object. The proposed algorithm, called impulse articulated-body algorithm (IABA), is based on the ABA but uses impulses and velocities rather than forces and accelerations. The algorithm also inherits the advantages of the ABA: versatility and low computational cost. The IABA provides a method to determine the impact impulse, without increasing the order of the algorithm.
Avoiding families and Tukey functions on the nowhere-dense ideal
Authors: Solecki Sławomir , Todorcevic Stevo 
Published: September 2010

AbstractWe investigate Tukey functions from the ideal of all closed nowhere-dense subsets of 2ℕ. In particular, we answer an old question of Isbell and Fremlin by showing that this ideal is not Tukey reducible to the ideal of density zero subsets of ℕ. We also prove non-existence of various special types of Tukey reductions from the nowhere-dense ideal to analytic P-ideals. In connection with these results, we study families$\mathcal{F}$of clopen subsets of 2ℕwith the property that for each nowhere-dense subset of 2ℕthere is a set in$\mathcal{F}$not intersecting it. We call such families avoiding.
AAC Use by People With TBI: Affects of Cognitive Impairments
Authors: Wallace Sarah E. 
Published: September 2010

Abstract
Survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) to compensate for communication impairments. However, various cognitive impairments resulting from TBI affect AAC intervention and, thus, require special consideration. The purpose of this article is to address four areas that professionals who provide AAC may need to consider as part of their service provision to people with TBI: (a) the evolution of AAC use during the recovery process, (b) the effect of cognitive impairments on multimodal communication, (c) appropriate message representation, and (d) difficulties with AAC navigation resulting from cognitive impairments. Finally, this paper provides some suggestions and some areas of future research related to survivors of TBI use of AAC.
Determination of Gross Chromosomal Rearrangement Rates
Authors: Putnam Christopher D. , Kolodner Richard D. 
Published: September 2010

INTRODUCTIONCells devote a significant amount of metabolism to maintaining the stability of their genome and to preventing inappropriate chromosomal rearrangements that are characteristic of many cancers. A simple genetic assay using haploid derivatives of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides a means to quantitatively measure the rate at which gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs) accumulate in different genetic backgrounds. This assay measures the rate of simultaneous inactivation of CAN1 and URA3 markers placed on a nonessential end of a yeast chromosome and in principle can be implemented in any haploid strain. Rearrangements detected with this assay include broken chromosomes healed by de novo telomere additions and a spectrum of inter- and intrachromosomal fusion events. The GCR assay allows for detailed analysis of the contributions of individual genes and different pathways in the suppression of genomic instability.
Two-Photon Fluorescence Microscopy of Cerebral Hemodynamics

Published: September 2010

INTRODUCTIONUnder physiological conditions, neuronal activity is tightly coupled to hemodynamics of the surrounding microvessels. Conversely, most brain diseases are associated with a disturbance in neurovascular coupling. Measuring the hemodynamic response of the microvascular network to neuronal stimulation in vivo involves two major challenges: maintaining a stable systemic physiological state in the animal and imaging with sufficient temporal and spatial resolution to capture the hemodynamic changes across the three-dimensional cortical microvascular network. Two-photon fluorescence microscopy allows imaging of intact cortex in situ at micrometer spatial and microsecond temporal resolution. However, this modality necessitates focal opening of the skull because of its high scattering of light waves. This protocol describes in detail the requisite surgical preparation and physiological maintenance of an adolescent rat with a closed cranial window. Two-photon fluorescence laser scanning microscopy is then used to image the hemodynamic response of the microvasculature of the primary somatosensory cortex to electrical stimulation of the forepaw, with the end goal of quantitative analysis of brain hemodynamics.
Identification of a Novel Abscisic Acid-Regulated Farnesol Dehydrogenase from Arabidopsis
Authors: Bhandari Jayaram , Fitzpatrick A. Heather , Crowell Dring N. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractIn Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), farnesylcysteine is oxidized to farnesal and cysteine by a membrane-associated thioether oxidase called farnesylcysteine lyase. Farnesol and farnesyl phosphate kinases have also been reported in plant membranes. Together, these observations suggest the existence of enzymes that catalyze the interconversion of farnesal and farnesol. In this report, Arabidopsis membranes are shown to possess farnesol dehydrogenase activity. In addition, a gene on chromosome 4 of the Arabidopsis genome (At4g33360), called FLDH, is shown to encode an NAD+-dependent dehydrogenase that oxidizes farnesol more efficiently than other prenyl alcohol substrates. FLDH expression is repressed by abscisic acid (ABA) but is increased in mutants with T-DNA insertions in the FLDH 5′ flanking region. These T-DNA insertion mutants, called fldh-1 and fldh-2, are associated with an ABA-insensitive phenotype, suggesting that FLDH is a negative regulator of ABA signaling.
Y3IP1, a Nucleus-Encoded Thylakoid Protein, Cooperates with the Plastid-Encoded Ycf3 Protein in Photosystem I Assembly of Tobacco and Arabidopsis

Published: September 2010

Abstract
The intricate assembly of photosystem I (PSI), a large multiprotein complex in the thylakoid membrane, depends on auxiliary protein factors. One of the essential assembly factors for PSI is encoded by ycf3 (hypothetical chloroplast reading frame number 3) in the chloroplast genome of algae and higher plants. To identify novel factors involved in PSI assembly, we constructed an epitope-tagged version of ycf3 from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and introduced it into the tobacco chloroplast genome by genetic transformation. Immunoaffinity purification of Ycf3 complexes from the transplastomic plants identified a novel nucleus-encoded thylakoid protein, Y3IP1 (for Ycf3-interacting protein 1), that specifically interacts with the Ycf3 protein. Subsequent reverse genetics analysis of Y3IP1 function in tobacco and Arabidopsis thaliana revealed that knockdown of Y3IP1 leads to a specific deficiency in PSI but does not result in loss of Ycf3. Our data indicate that Y3IP1 represents a novel factor for PSI biogenesis that cooperates with the plastid genome-encoded Ycf3 in the assembly of stable PSI units in the thylakoid membrane.

ING4 inhibition has been reported in various tumours, including gliomas, breast tumours, and stomach adenocarcinoma. The aim was to evaluate ING4 expression in lung cancers.Method and results:  By immunohistochemistry of 246 lung tumour tissues, reduced ING4 nuclear and cytoplasmic expression were both revealed in lung cancer and associated with tumour grade. Interestingly, compared with normal tissues, we found more tumours with ING4 expression in the cytoplasm higher than in the nucleus. Nuclear ING4 inhibition correlated with the tumour stage and lymph node metastasis. Consistent with these findings, semiquantitative reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting demonstrated decreased ING4 mRNA and expression in 100% (50/50) tumour tissues. Furthermore, ING4 expression was lower in grade III than in grades I–II tumours. Reduced ING4 mRNA correlated with lymph node metastasis.Conclusions:  Our results indicate that overall inhibition of ING4 expression and ING4 expression higher in cytoplasm than in nucleus of tumour cells may be involved in the initiation and progression of lung cancers, and thus, analysis for ING4 expression may be useful as a clinical diagnostic and prognostic tool for lung cancer.

Kutílek Š, Skálová S, Vethamuthu J, Geier P, Feber J. Transient hyperphosphatasemia in pediatric renal transplant patients – Is there a need for concern and when?  Pediatr Transplantation 2012: 16: E5–E9. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S.Abstract:  TH of infancy and early childhood is characterized by transiently increased S‐ALP, predominantly its bone or liver isoforms. There are neither signs of metabolic bone disease or hepatopathy corresponding to the increased S‐ALP, nor a common underlying/triggering disease. TH may also occur in children post‐renal Tx, which may raise significant concerns and anxiety. We describe four patients aged 2.8–7 yr in whom the TH occurred at 11–34 (median = 28) months after Tx and lasted from 40 to 105 (median = 63) days. No obvious cause/trigger of TH could be found; the clinical status and bone turnover were not altered. In cases of TH post‐Tx, we recommend the evaluation of basic biochemical indices and wrist X‐ray. If these results are normal, TH is most likely the diagnosis and the S‐ALP can be monitored over the next three months without further testing. In patients with persisting TH for more than three months and/or in children with pre‐existing or suspected metabolic bone disease, further evaluation may be indicated. In conclusion, TH is a benign disorder in patients post‐Tx. Detailed investigation including bone biopsy is only indicated in patients with persisting TH.

AbstractDiagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for prostate has achieved increasingly higher levels of accuracy. Because real‐time MR‐guided targeted biopsy is still a complicated and expensive procedure, there is considerable interest in a technique of MR/transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) hybridized image‐guided biopsy. However, because the 3‐D shapes of the prostate at the time of image‐acquisition at preoperative MRI are likely to be different from the intra‐operative TRUS images, the precise registration of each 3‐D volume data is critical. To reduce the potential errors in registration of TRUS with MRI, we introduce new procedural techniques in a rigid image fusion technique. First, preoperative MR images were obtained with a specifically‐made plastic outer‐frame, with exactly the same shape as the real TRUS probe, placed in the rectum, in order to simulate the deformation of the prostate caused by the absence or presence of a TRUS probe during the acquisition of MR or TRUS images. Second, instead of using a single plane of longitudinal image, we applied biplane TRUS images to be shown in parallel on a multiplanar display with corresponding reconstructed MRI, in order to register both horizontal and longitudinal images of the prostate simultaneously, thereby achieving improved 3‐D anatomical matching.
Genes for selenium dependent and independent formate dehydrogenase in the gut microbial communities of three lower, wood‐feeding termites and a wood‐feeding roach
Authors: Zhang Xinning , Matson Eric G. , Leadbetter Jared R. 
Published: September 2010

SummaryThe bacterial Wood–Ljungdahl pathway for CO2‐reductive acetogenesis is important for the nutritional mutualism occurring between wood‐feeding insects and their hindgut microbiota. A key step in this pathway is the reduction of CO2 to formate, catalysed by the enzyme formate dehydrogenase (FDH). Putative selenocysteine‐ (Sec) and cysteine‐ (Cys) containing paralogues of hydrogenase‐linked FDH (FDHH) have been identified in the termite gut acetogenic spirochete, Treponema primitia, but knowledge of their relevance in the termite gut environment remains limited. In this study, we designed degenerate PCR primers for FDHH genes (fdhF) and assessed fdhF diversity in insect gut bacterial isolates and the gut microbial communities of termites and cockroaches. The insects examined herein represent three wood‐feeding termite families, Termopsidae, Kalotermitidae and Rhinotermitidae (phylogenetically ‘lower’ termite taxa); the wood‐feeding roach family Cryptocercidae (the sister taxon to termites); and the omnivorous roach family Blattidae. Sec and Cys FDHH variants were identified in every wood‐feeding insect but not the omnivorous roach. Of 68 novel alleles obtained from inventories, 66 affiliated phylogenetically with enzymes from T. primitia. These formed two subclades (37 and 29 phylotypes) almost completely comprised of Sec‐containing and Cys‐containing enzymes respectively. A gut cDNA inventory showed transcription of both variants in the termite Zootermopsis nevadensis (family Termopsidae). The gene patterns suggest that FDHH enzymes are important for the CO2‐reductive metabolism of uncultured acetogenic treponemes and imply that the availability of selenium, a trace element, shaped microbial gene content in the last common ancestor of dictyopteran, wood‐feeding insects, and continues to shape it to this day.
Dry Sliding Friction Experiments at Elevated Velocities

Published: September 2010

Abstract:  An enhancement of an existing tribometer device developed by Philippon et al. (2004, Wear257, 777–784) is presented in this work. This experimental device is made up of a dynamometer ring and a specific load sensor allowing to apply an apparent normal force on specimens and to measure frictional forces respectively. Problems such as static calibration of both distinct parts supported by conducted numerical simulations is given and described in detail. Further discussion, again supported by numerical analysis, validates the placing of the strain gauges and explains the problems of sensitivity of loading surface and cross‐sensitivity. The entire experimental setup is then discussed explaining the mounting of the strain gauges located on the tribometer device, showing the configuration of the Wheatstone quarter‐bridges, presenting the signal conditioning amplifier system and the digital oscilloscopes which all together create one uniform data acquisition system. The set up is adapted on a gas gun to carry the Steel 1080 on Steel VascoMax 300 experiments. The main set of experiments with sliding velocities varying from 10 to 60 m s−1 are performed in the same tested setup. The recordings of normal and tangential forces leading to the friction coefficient determination are discussed. The values of dry friction coefficient μ according to the experimental parameters are in good agreement with those observed in the literature. Using this new configuration, the effects of the sliding velocity on the surface roughness changes and on the dry fiction coefficient are also investigated. Moreover, very interesting relations between wear and sliding velocity are observed.
