Authors: Stephenson Rob , Baschieri Angela , Clements Steve , Hennink Monique , Madise Nyovani 
Published: November 2005

Objectives. Previous studies of maternal health-seeking behavior focused on individual- and household-level factors. We examined community-level influences on the decision to deliver a child in a health facility across 6 African countries. Methods. Demographic and Health Survey data were linked with contextual data, and multilevel models were fitted to identify the determinants of childbirth in a health facility in the 6 countries. Results. We found strong community-level influences on a woman’s decision to deliver her child in a health facility. Several pathways of influence between the community and individual were identified. Conclusions. Community economic development, the climate of female autonomy, service provision, and fertility preferences all exert an influence on a woman’s decision to seek care during labor, but significant community variation remains unexplained.
The Ethics of Industry Experimentation Using Employees: The Case of Taste-Testing Pesticide-Treated Tobacco
Authors: McDaniel Patricia A. , Solomon Gina , Malone Ruth E. 
Published: November 2005

In the United States, companies that use their own funds to test consumer products on their employees are subject to few regulations. Using previously undisclosed tobacco industry documents, we reviewed the history of that industry’s efforts to create internal guidelines on the conditions to be met before employee taste testers could evaluate cigarettes made from tobacco treated with experimental pesticides. This history highlights 2 potential ethical issues raised by unregulated industrial research: conflict of interest and lack of informed consent. To ensure compliance with accepted ethical standards, an independent federal office should be established to oversee industrial research involving humans exposed to experimental or increased quantities of ingested, inhaled, or absorbed chemical agents.
Dystopian Nightmares and Educated Hopes: The Return of the Pedagogical and the Promise of Democracy
Authors: Giroux Henry 
Published: November 2005

This article examines how the political, economic, and ideological policies under neoliberalism in the United States are being used to wage a war against almost every facet of American life not directly governed by the logic and values of the market. War has become the central motif of the dystopian vision of neoliberalism and the effects of such an assault on the domestic front have been overshadowed by the war in Iraq. The article further argues that it is crucial that educators reclaim a revitalized notion of politics that gets beyond the discourse of critique, one which all too often in reductionistic fashion emphasizes either the crushing effects of domination or views people largely as victims. A more radical politics must consider embracing a notion of hope rooted in pedagogical work that both extends the sites of pedagogy and recognizes the importance of cultural politics as a preconditions for both creating revitalized democratic public spaces, social movements, and the possibility of social action. Where did this idea come from that everybody deserves free education? Free medical care? Free whatever? It comes from Moscow. From Russia. It comes straight out of the pit of hell.[1] My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub. (Dreyfus, 2001)
InAs/InP Self‐Assembled Quantum Dots: Wavelength Tuning and Optical Nonlinearities
Authors: Nötzel R. , Haverkort J. E. M. 
Published: November 2005

AbstractQuantum dots (QDs, i.e., semiconductor nanocrystals) can be formed by spontaneous self‐assembly during epitaxial growth of lattice‐mismatched semiconductor systems. InAs QDs embedded in GaInAsP on InP are introduced, which can be continuously wavelength‐tuned over the 1.55 μm region by inserting ultrathin GaAs or GaP interlayers below them. We subsequently introduce a state‐filling optical nonlinearity, which only requires two electron–hole pairs per QD. We employ this nonlinearity for all‐optical switching using a Mach–Zehnder interferometric switch. We find a switching energy as low as 6 fJ.
Tensile and elastic behavior of tencel continuous filaments
Authors: Abdullah Iram , Blackburn Richard S. , Russell Stephen J. , Taylor Jim 
Published: November 2005

AbstractTencel is a regenerated cellulose fiber produced using an environmentally‐responsible dry‐jet wet‐spinning process, which contributes to its excellent mechanical properties. In this study, the tensile properties of Tencel continuous filaments are characterized and the effect of twist on mechanical properties, including breaking load and extension, are considered. Peak strength was obtained in Tencel filaments of 140 t m−1. The elastic behavior of Tencel monofilament was observed by assessing the recovery from strain‐induced energy and the elastic recovery was found to be low. Along with time dependency, Tencel has the ability to stabilize its deformed state by forming new crosslinks, and this influences the elastic behavior. In simple extension cycles, the same low elasticity was observed. Cumulative extension cycles were also performed to characterize the behavior of filaments subjected to repeated strain and to determine the resultant hysteresis effects. Permanent elongation was observed at 2% imposed strain, which suggests that the filament has low extensibility. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 99: 1496–1503, 2006
Characterization of epoxidized natural rubber/ethylene vinyl acetate (ENR‐50/EVA) blend: Effect of blend ratio
Authors: Mohamad Zurina , Ismail H. , Thevy R. Chantara 
Published: November 2005

AbstractEpoxidized natural rubber/Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (ENR‐50/EVA) blends with different ratios were prepared by using a Haake internal mixer. The effect of the blend ratio on the processing, tensile properties (such as tensile strength, elongation at break, Young's modulus and stress–strain behavior), morphology, dynamic mechanical properties, and thermal properties has been investigated. The tensile properties increase with the increase of EVA content, whereas the stabilization torque increases with the increase of ENR‐50 content in the blend. In 40:60 and 50:50 blend of ENR‐50/EVA, both the phases exist as continuous phases, producing a co‐continuous morphology. At these blend ratio, the drastic change in properties were noted, indicating that the phase inversion occurs. The results on dynamic mechanical properties revealed that the blends are compatible. Blending of ENR‐50 and EVA lead to the improvement in thermal stability and 50:50 blend ratios is the most stable blend. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 99: 1504–1515, 2006
Studies on poly(8‐hydroxy‐4‐azoquinolinephenylmethacrylate) and its metal complexes
Authors: Vijayalakshmi S. , Subramanian S. , Rajagopan S. , Kaliyappan T. 
Published: November 2005

Abstract8‐Hydroxy‐4‐azoquinolinephenylmethacrylate (8H4AQPMA) was prepared and polymerized in ethyl methyl ketone (EMK) at 65°C using benzoyl peroxide as free radical initiator. Poly(8‐hydroxy‐4‐azoquinolinephenylmethacrylate) poly(8H4AQPMA) was characterized by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The molecular weight of the polymer was determined by gel permeation chromatography. Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of poly(8H4AQPMA) were prepared. Elemental analysis of polychelates suggests that the metal‐ligand ratio is about 1 : 2. The polychelates were further characterized by infrared spectra, X‐ray diffraction, spectral studies, and magnetic moments. Thermal analyses of the polymer and polychelates were carried out in air. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 99: 1516–1522, 2006
Optical analysis of liquid mixing in a minibioreactor
Authors: Vallejos Jose R. , Kostov Yordan , Ram Arun , French Joseph A. , Marten Mark R. , Rao Govind 
Published: November 2005

AbstractA novel optical sensor was used to study mixing and mean circulation time in a model minibioreactor (12.5 mL stirred vessel, equipped with a paddle impeller). Rotational rates in the range of 10–1,000 rpm corresponding to Reynolds number between 14 and 1,350 were studied. Results suggest that depending on the impeller rotational speed, mixing times up to 214 ± 87 s can be reproducibly achieved. The minibioreactor was operated in the transitional regime, and it was determined that the non‐dimensional form for mixing time, NΘM was linearly dependent on Reynolds number. A linear correlation between mean circulation time and the inverse of rotational speed was also determined. The mean circulation time dependence on rotational speed in the 12.5 mL stirred vessel is similar to those found in large‐scale stirred vessels. These results suggest that mixing and circulation times found in large‐scale reactors can be replicated in minibioreactors. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
The Dipeptide H‐Trp‐Glu‐OH Shows Highly Antagonistic Activity against PPARγ: Bioassay with Molecular Modeling Simulation
Authors: Ye Fei , Zhang Zhen‐Shan , Luo Hai‐Bin , Shen Jian‐Hua , Chen Kai‐Xian , Shen Xu , Jiang Hua‐Liang 
Published: November 2005

AbstractThe peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is an important therapeutic drug target for several conditions, including diabetes, inflammation, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and cancer. It is shown that an antagonist or partial agonist of PPARγ has attractive potential applications in the discovery of novel antidiabetic agents that may retain efficacious insulin‐sensitizing properties and minimize potential side effects. In this work, the dipeptide H‐Trp‐Glu‐OH (G3335) was discovered to be a novel PPARγ antagonist. Biacore 3000 results based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique showed that G3335 exhibits a highly specific binding affinity against PPARγ (KD=8.34 μM) and is able to block rosiglitazone, a potent PPARγ agonist, in the stimulation of the interaction between the PPARγ ligand‐binding domain (LBD) and RXRα‐LBD. Yeast two‐hybrid assays demonstrated that G3335 exhibits strong antagonistic activity (IC50=8.67 μM) in perturbing rosiglitazone in the promotion of the PPARγ‐LBD–CBP interaction. Moreover, in transactivation assays, G3335 was further confirmed as an antagonist of PPARγ in that G3335 could competitively bind to PPARγ against 0.1 μM rosiglitazone to repress reporter‐gene expression with an IC50 value of 31.9 μM. In addition, homology modeling and molecular‐docking analyses were performed to investigate the binding mode of PPARγ‐LBD with G3335 at the atomic level. The results suggested that residues Cys285, Arg288, Ser289, and His449 in PPARγ play vital roles in PPARγ‐LBD–G3335 binding. The significance of Cys285 for PPARγ‐LBD–G3335 interaction was further demonstrated by PPARγ point mutation (PPARγ‐LBD‐Cys285Ala). It is hoped our current work will provide a powerful approach for the discovery of PPARγ antagonists, and that G3335 might be developed as a possible lead compound in diabetes research.
The 2‐Aminogluconate Isomer of Rhizobium sin‐1 Lipid A Can Antagonize TNF‐α Production Induced by Enteric LPS
Authors: Lee Hyi‐Seung , Wolfert Margreet A. , Zhang Yanghui , Boons Geert‐Jan 
Published: November 2005

AbstractThe naturally occurring lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Rhizobium sin‐1, a nitrogen‐fixing bacterial species, can prevent the induction of the tumor necrosis factor TNF‐α induced by enteric LPS. The proximal saccharide moiety of R. sin‐1 lipid A can exist in two forms, namely as a 2‐aminogluconolactone or 2‐aminogluconate. As it is unknown which of these forms is responsible for the antagonistic properties of R. sin‐1 lipid A, compound 4 was prepared, and its inflammatory properties were studied. This compound contains a methyl ether at the C‐5 hydroxyl, which prevents lactonization and therefore is ideally suited to determine whether the 2‐aminogluconate possesses antagonistic properties. Compound 4 was synthesized by a highly convergent approach with a key disaccharide building block functionalized with a set of orthogonal protecting groups. The novel synthetic compound lacks proinflammatory properties, as indicated by an absence of TNF‐α protein production. This compound was, however, able to antagonize the production of TNF‐α induced by enteric LPS; this indicates that the 2‐aminogluconate form of R. sin‐1 lipid A is responsible for its biological properties.

Exact Fixed‐node Quantum Monte Carlo: Differential Approach
Authors: Huang Hong‐Xin 
Published: November 2005

AbstractA differential approach for exact fixed‐node quantum Monte Carlo calculation was proposed in this paper. This new algorithm can be used to directly compute the energy differential between two systems in exact fixed‐node quantum Monte Carlo process, making the statistical error of calculation reduce to order of 10−2 kJ/mol and recover about more than 90% of the correlation energy. The approach was employed to set up a potential energy surface of a molecule, through a model of rigid move, and Jacobi transformation utilized to make energy calculation for two configurations of a molecule having good positive correlation. So, an accurate energy differential could be obtained, and the potential energy surface with good quality depicted. This novel algorithm was used to study the potential energy curve of the ground state of BH and the potential energy surface of H3, and could be also applied to study other related fields such as molecular spectroscopy and the energy variation of chemical reactions.

Published: November 2005

AbstractLow‐temperature heat capacities of 2‐chloro‐N,N‐dimethylnicotinamide were precisely measured with a high‐precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 82 K to 380 K. The compoundwas observed to melt at (342.15±0.04) K. The molar enthalpy ΔfusionHm, and entropy of fusion, ΔfusionSm, as well as the chemical purity of the compound were determined to be (21387±7) J·mol−1, (62.51±0.01) J·mol−1·K−1, (0.9946±0.0005) mass fraction, respectively. The extrapolated melting temperature for the pure compound obtained from fractional melting experiments was (342.25±0.024) K. The thermodynamic function data relative to the reference temperature 298.15 K were calculated based on the heat capacity measurements in the temperature range from 82 to 325 K. The thermal behavior of the compound was also investigated by different scanning calorimetry.

Abstract Reactions of SmI2 in THF with ArSSAr produced two binuclear samarium thiolate complexes [(THF)3I2‐ Sm(μ‐SAr)]2 [Ar=Ph (1), 4‐Me2NC6H4 (2)] in high yields. The structure of 2 was characterized by single crystal X‐ray crystallography. The crystal of 2 belongs to the triclinic system with space group $ P {\bar 1} $ and a=0.95705(13) nm, b=1.22287(14) nm, c=1.26450(14) nm, α=64.194(11)°, B=78.491(13)°, γ=76.176(12)°, V=1.2860(3) nm3, Z=1, μ=4.783 mm−1, Dc=1.964 Mg/m3, M=1521.19, S=1.046, R1=0.0358, wR2=0.0910. X‐ray analysis revealed that 2 is a thiolate‐bridged dimer in which each Sm atom adopts a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal coordination geometry.

Authors: Huang Chao , Yang Xu‐Jie , Lu Lu‐De , Wang Xin 
Published: November 2005

AbstractMulti‐protection is a principle in security management, and the use of anti‐explosion and fireproof agents is a crucial part of it. In this paper, the properties of nano‐oxide particles in the field of anti‐explosion and fireproof were analyzed. The sedimentation velocity of nanometer particles was calculated. CH4 was taken as an example, and its combustion mechanism of the initial stages was concluded. The effects of 15 oxides on molecular energies of the reaction system were calculated with program Hyperchem 6, and the possible contact manner between radicals and oxides was got. It was concluded that oxides, such as ZrO2, could combine with radicals, and thus prevent the combustion reaction. It was found that the nano‐ZrO2 eruptively generated aerosol is superior to other counterparts in serving as the anti‐explosion and fireproof agent, and therefore, will play an increasingly important role in the security management.
