Power, Knowledge and Authority in Public Theology
Authors: Graham Elaine 
Published: April 2007

AbstractOne of the most distinctive movements within Christian theology to have emerged over the past generation has been the various theologies of liberation which originated in Latin America but which now span a diversity of styles, including feminist and womanist, Black, Asian and lesbian/gay/bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) theologies. All theologies of liberation purport to give a voice to the experiences of those formerly silenced or marginalized by society and/or the Church. This is essentially an issue of power, since one of the authenticating marks of such theologies is the extent to which they enable such groups to move from powerlessness to empowerment. Yet theologies of liberation also represent, potentially, another redistribution of power, by enabling previously excluded groups to bring their interpretations and testimonies into theological discourse. This article examines the background to this intersection of power and knowledge in theology, and asks how public theology might assist such a process of theological empowerment.
God and Our Public Life: A Scriptural Wisdom
Authors: Ford David 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThis article recognises both the need for wisdom for the flourishing of public life and the value of the contribution that Christian wisdom, founded on Scripture, has to offer. However, this article also notes that the contemporary world is a complexly religious and secular environment, and hence if Christian wisdom is to realise its potential, there is a need for the creation and nurture of attitudes, groups and institutions within which fruitful dialogue between faiths and ideologies in public life can occur. The article observes that Britain currently has a particular opportunity to work towards this kind of wisdom-embracing religious and secular society, and the practice of scriptural reasoning is explored as an exemplary practice that promotes the kind of inter-faith collegiality, collaboration and friendships that enhance public life. Finally, the article offers some brief reflections on Job and the role of wisdom in an authentic and biblical Christian faith.
Russia, The Turks and Europe: Legitimations of War and the Formation of European Identity in the Early Modern Period
Authors: Piirimäe Pärtel 
Published: April 2007

AbstractAn essential criterion of belonging to a community is the expressed willingness to play by its rules. "Europe" in the Early Modern period can be seen as a moral community of "Christian" and "civilized" states which abided by the principles of ius gentium. The core of this code was the limitation and regulation of warfare. Although moral and legal principles of bellum iustum were often overruled by considerations of interest, there was at least one thing common to all European wars: the states always took pains to prove publicly that they were waging a just war. This essay examines the significance of printed legitimations of war for the formation of European identity. It focuses on the case of Muscovy, which before the end of the seventeenth century had not been concerned with its image in Europe, and was thus left at the mercy of the propaganda of its western neighbors who were instrumental in constructing the image of Muscovites as Asiatic barbarians, more similar to the Turks than to Christians. Tsar Peter the Great, however, took a novel decision to launch a campaign of public legitimation of Muscovy's attack on Sweden in 1700. The legitimations of war published during Peter's reign can be seen as essential components of his quest for the acknowledgement of Russia as a fully-fledged member of the European moral, legal, and political community.
Max Weber und die ,,deutsche Gemütlichkeit": Amerika, Du hast es besser … (Goethe, 1827)
Authors: Arndt Martin 
Published: April 2007

AbstractMax Weber is presented as a fervent supporter of the US-American life-style, its love of freedom and capitalist competition. After his return from the United States he makes all efforts at Americanizing Germany and bridging the transatlantic divide that Germany has brought about by its cultivation of "Gemütlichkeit" and "Bildung".
Role of various elliptical shapes for efficient microwave processing of materials
Authors: Basak Tanmay 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA detailed theoretical analysis has been carried out to assess the role of various elliptical shapes/cross sections on microwave heating of 2‐D cylinders for beef and oil samples. Two types of elliptical cross sections are considered as type A (ellipse with major axis along the horizontal plane), and type B (ellipse with minor axis along the horizontal plane.) A preliminary analysis on microwave heating of samples has been shown via average power within a sample vs. sample radius of circular cross section for beef and oil samples. Several regimes (I–III) based on small and large radius for circular cross sections have been selected. The effect of elliptical shapes for type A and B configurations has been studied initially via average power vs. aspect ratio distributions for various regimes. The grayscale images of power absorption have been analyzed further for elliptical cross section with varying aspect ratios for regimes I–III where aspect ratio and types of configuration are shown to influence spatial power absorptions. The detailed temperature profiles have also been shown to illustrate the role of elliptical shapes on uniform heating and thermal runaway. Depending on the material dielectric properties and sample dimension, either type A or B or both configuration has been recommended. © 2007 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2007
EEC syndrome, Arg227Gln TP63 mutation and micturition difficulties: Is there a genotype–phenotype correlation?
Authors: Maclean Kenneth , Holme Stephen A. , Gilmour Elizabeth , Taylor Mark , Scheffer Heide , Graf Nicole , Smith Grahame H.H. , Onikul Ella , van Bokhoven Hans , Moss Celia , Adès Lesley C. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractWe report on two unrelated families with EEC syndrome (ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip/palate), each with an Arg227Gln TP63 gene mutation, where the phenotype overlapped extensively with the allelic disorder, limb‐mammary syndrome (LMS). Features common to both families were an ectodermal dysplasia principally affecting tooth, breast and nipple development, dacryostenosis and severe micturition difficulties. Additional findings included post‐axial digital hypoplasia, cleft uvula, anal stenosis, hypoplasia of the perineal body and biopsy‐proven interstitial cystitis. No individual had cleft lip. Split hand‐split foot malformation (SHFM) occurred in one child—born after the molecular diagnosis was established. Unlike previous reports, the urinary symptoms were refractory to treatment with oral Fibrase and persisted into adulthood. Of the six cases/families now reported with EEC syndrome and Arg227Gln TP63 mutation, four have manifested this distinct urological abnormality, indicative of a genotype‐phenotype correlation. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

AbstractWe report on a child with a small supernumerary marker chromosome (sSMC) causing partial trisomy 6p. The child showed a phenotype consisting of neonatal craniosynostosis, microcephaly, and borderline developmental delay. By molecular techniques the sSMC has been shown to contain ∼16 Mb of genomic DNA from 6p21.1 to 6cen, being de novo and of maternal origin. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Tracheal occlusion: A review of obstructing fetal lungs to make them grow and mature
Authors: Khan Paul A. , Cloutier Marc , Piedboeuf Bruno 
Published: April 2007

AbstractFetal lung growth and functional differentiation are affected strongly by the extent that pulmonary tissue is distended (expanded) by liquid that naturally fills developing future airspaces. Methods that prevent normal egress of this lung fluid through the trachea magnify mechanical stretching of lung parenchymal cells, thereby promoting lung development. Indeed, experimental observations demonstrate that in utero tracheal occlusion (TO) performed on fetuses during the late canalicular‐early saccular stage potently stimulates pulmonary growth and maturation. In this review, we present the four principle non‐human animal models of TO/obstruction and discuss them in relation to their utility in elucidating lung development, in remedying congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) as well as in investigating the stretching effects on growth and remodeling of the fine vasculature. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Development of the diaphragm and genetic mouse models of diaphragmatic defects
Authors: Ackerman Kate G. , Greer John J. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractImproving our understanding of diaphragmatic development is essential to making progress in defining the pathogenesis and genetic etiologies of congenital diaphragmatic defects in humans. As mouse genetic technology has given us new tools to manipulate and observe development, a number of mouse models have recently emerged that provide valuable insight to this field. In this article, we review our current understanding of diaphragmatic embryogenesis including the origin of diaphragmatic tissue. We use rodent models to review the muscularization of the diaphragm and review selected genetic models of abnormal muscularization. We also review models of posterior diaphragmatic defects and discuss evidence for the pleuroperitoneal fold (PPF) tissue contributing to the diaphragm. Finally, we discuss models of anterior and central hernias. It may be simplistic to subdivide this review based on anatomic regions of the diaphragm, as evidence is emerging that defects in different regions of the diaphragm in humans and in mice may be etiologically related. However, at this time we do not have enough knowledge to make more mechanistic or genetic classifications though with time, genetic progress in the field of diaphragm development will allow us to do this. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) etiology as revealed by pathway genetics
Authors: Kantarci Sibel , Donahoe Patricia K. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a common birth defect with high mortality and morbidity. Two hundred seventy CDH patients were ascertained, carefully phenotyped, and classified as isolated (diaphragm defects alone) or complex (with additional anomalies) cases. We established different strategies to reveal CDH‐critical chromosome loci and genes in humans. Candidate genes for sequencing analyses were selected from CDH animal models, genetic intervals of recurrent chromosomal aberration in humans, such as 15q26.1–q26.2 or 1q41–q42.12, as well as genes in the retinoic acid and related pathways and those known to be involved in embryonic lung development. For instance, FOG2, GATA4, and COUP‐TFII are all needed for both normal diaphragm and lung development and are likely all in the same genetic and molecular pathway. Linkage analysis was applied first in a large inbred family and then in four multiplex families with Donnai–Barrow syndrome (DBS) associated with CDH. 10K SNP chip and microsatellite markers revealed a DBS locus on chromosome 2q23.3–q31.1. We applied array‐based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) techniques to over 30, mostly complex, CDH patients and found a de novo microdeletion in a patient with Fryns syndrome related to CDH. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and multiplex ligation‐dependent probe amplification (MLPA) techniques allowed us to further define the deletion interval. Our aim is to identify genetic intervals and, in those, to prioritize genes that might reveal molecular pathways, mutations in any step of which, might contribute to the same phenotype. More important, the elucidation of pathways may ultimately provide clues to treatment strategies. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Macaque monkey retrosplenial cortex: III. Cortical efferents
Authors: Kobayashi Yasushi , Amaral David G. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractWe have investigated the cortical efferent projections of the macaque monkey retrosplenial and posterior cingulate cortices by using 3H‐amino acids as anterograde tracers. All the injections produced extensive local connections to other portions of this region. There were also a number of extrinsic efferent cortical connections, many of which have not hitherto been reported. Major projections from the retrosplenial cortex were directed to the frontal lobe, with heaviest terminations in areas 46, 9, 10, and 11. There were also very substantial projections to the entorhinal cortex, presubiculum, and parasubiculum of the hippocampal formation, as well as to areas TH and TF of the parahippocampal cortex. Some injections led to labeling of area V4, the dorsal bank of the superior temporal sulcus, and area 7a of the parietal cortex. Projections from the posterior cingulate cortex innervated all these same regions, although the density of termination was different from the retrosplenial projections. The posterior cingulate cortex gave rise to additional projections to parietal area DP and to the cortex along the convexity of the superior temporal gyrus. The ventral portion of the posterior cingulate cortex (area 23v) gave rise to much denser efferent projections to the hippocampal formation than the dorsal portions (areas 23e and i). These connections are discussed in relation to the clinical syndromes of retrosplenial amnesia and topographic disorientation in humans commonly caused by lesions in the caudoventral portions of the retrosplenial and posterior cingulate cortices.

Precise measurement and estimation method for overhead contact line unevenness
Authors: Mitsuo Aboshi 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe unevenness of contact lines is one of the factors that considerably influences the dynamic characteristics of current collection systems. In order to analyze the influence of the contact line unevenness on the fluctuation of the contact force between contact line and pantograph, an instrument was devised to measure the unevenness of contact lines accurately and continuously. The instrument consists of two pairs of laser sensors for the purpose of reducing measurement errors by vertical vibration of the measurement vehicle. This paper describes the measuring method of contact line unevenness, reports some examples of the measurement of real lines, and proposes a method to evaluate the conditions of overhead equipment. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Broadband characteristics analysis of semicircle‐type bow‐tie antenna with hole slots
Authors: Murata Ippei , Miyazaki Yasumitsu , Goto Nobuo 
Published: April 2007

AbstractFor electromagnetic compatibility, broadband antennas are important for measurements of fast pulse transient electromagnetic phenomena and broadband characteristics due to noise and high‐frequency interference. We analyzed the characteristics of a semicircle type bow‐tie antenna with various slots using the FDTD method. It was shown from the simulation results that the shape and position of the slot influenced greatly the broadband characteristics of the antenna. We confirmed that a semicircle type bow‐tie antenna with a triangle slot was effective for a broadband antenna. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Quantitative evaluation of lightning surge range voltage–time characteristics in high‐pressure SF6 gas
Authors: Shinkai Hiroyuki , Goshima Hisashi , Yashima Masafumi , Fujinami Hideo 
Published: April 2007

AbstractGas‐insulated switchgear (GIS) is subjected to very fast transient overvoltages such as lightning surges or disconnector switching surges. Therefore, the sparkover voltage and time (V−t) characteristics of SF6 in a very short time range of less than $1\ \mu \hbox{s}$ are of great interest from the viewpoint of insulation design and coordination for a GIS. This paper describes the V−t characteristics of SF6 at a gas pressure of 0.5 MPa using a steep‐front square impulse voltage under a quasi‐uniform field gap and presents a quantitative evaluation of the V−t characteristics for a nonstandard lightning impulse voltage. In the case of a square impulse, the V−t characteristics of positive polarity were observed to be almost flat over a long time range from 80 ns to $10\ \mu \hbox{s}$, and rose steeply over a short time range from 80 ns down to 20 ns. For negative polarity, the V−t characteristics exhibit a gentle rise from 200 ns down to 40 ns. In the estimation of V−t characteristics, the equal‐area criterion parameters were quantitatively estimated using the square impulse. For a nonstandard lighting impulse, we found that application of the equal‐area criterion with these parameters for the nonoscillating impulse and oscillating impulse of up to 5.3 MHz as a model of lightning surge and disconnector switching surge is possible. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Numerical computation for solving algebraic Riccati equations of weakly coupled systems
Authors: Mukaidani Hiroaki , Xu Hua , Monden Yoshimi 
Published: April 2007

AbstractIn this paper, an algorithm for solving the algebraic Riccati equation (ARE) that has an indefinite sign quadratic term related to weakly coupled large‐scale systems is investigated. A novel contribution is that a new iterative algorithm is derived by combining Newton's method and the fixed point algorithm. As a result, for sufficiently small ε, we can obtain an ARE solution with a quadratic convergence rate. Moreover, it is possible to calculate the ARE solution for the same dimension of each subsystem. As another important feature, an algorithm for solving the filter ARE is also discussed. Finally, in order to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, a numerical example is given. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Adaptive particle swarm optimization using information about global best
Authors: Yamaguchi Teruyoshi , Iwasaki Nobuhiro , Yasuda Keiichiro 
Published: April 2007

AbstractThe Particle Swarm Optimization method is one of the most powerful optimization methods available for solving global optimization problems. However, knowledge of adaptive strategies for tuning the parameters of the method for application to large‐scale nonlinear nonconvex optimization problems is as yet limited. This paper describes an adaptive strategy for tuning the parameters of the PSO method based on some numerical analysis of the behavior of PSO. The proposed adaptive tuning strategy is based on self‐tuning of the parameters of PSO, which utilizes the information about the frequency of an updated global best of a swarm. The feasibility and advantages of the proposed adaptive PSO algorithm are demonstrated through some numerical simulations using three different typical global optimization test problems. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: April 2007

AbstractJAEA and KEK are jointly constructing the high‐intensity proton accelerator project J‐PARC. Its main accelerator is a 3‐GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS). Two types of resonant excitation systems, parallel and cascade, are introduced to excite DC biased 25‐Hz AC currents through its main magnets. The parallel excitation is adopted for the dipole magnet power supply system, and the cascade excitations are adopted for the seven family quadrupole magnets system. In this paper, the two systems are investigated and analyzed, and an explanation is given as to why the different types are adopted in each system. The authors believe that such hybrid exciting systems are most suitable for a high‐power RCS. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the cognitive state of highly selected Polish centenarians and analyze the mechanisms of their functioning.MethodsThe selected centenarian group (10 persons) and a reference group (20 persons) who started aging (65 years) were examined with a sensitive set of neuropsychological tests and tasks in clinical‐experimental assessment.ResultsAs expected, the centenarians' cognitive functions were different from those of the subjects who started aging, however, not in all aspects. For instance, the former scored significantly lower in the area of linguistic functions but the ability to plan and controlled perform complex visuospatial task with use of simultaneous and sequential strategies was preserved despite unfavorable symptoms of natural aging such as permanence attention as well as prolonged action time.ConclusionsThe results suggest that the studied centenarians show a dominant right‐hemispheric pattern functioning not only in relation to perception, but also to planning and executing complex activities. The study and description of preserved neurocognition of centenarians was possible due to introducing a special procedure sensitive to the preserved functions.

Family‐focused treatment for bipolar disorder in adults and youth
Authors: Morris Chad D. , Miklowitz David J. , Waxmonsky Jeanette A. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractLevels of familial expressed emotion during an acute episode are consistently associated with rates of recurrence among bipolar patients. This article briefly reviews the evidence for expressed emotion (EE) as a prognostic indicator and then illustrates family‐focused treatment (FFT) with adults and adolescents suffering from bipolar disorder. FFT is a time‐limited, modularized treatment consisting of psychoeducation, communication enhancement training, and problem‐solving skills. Controlled trials indicate that FFT is an efficacious adjunct to pharmacotherapy for patients with bipolar disorder. We describe its recent application to early onset bipolar patients and include a clinical vignette. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol: In Session 63: 433–445, 2007.
