Authors: Wang Enju , Ohashi Kousaburo , Kamata Satsuo 
Published: May 2006

Abstract
Optical properties of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane incorporated with chromophore quinoline derivative were studied. The absorbance of the sensor increased with OH− concentration (0.001–1 mol dm−3) at 613 nm; and with Cu2+ concentration (5 × 10−6 – 10−3 mol dm−3) at 580 nm due to deprotonation and complexation with Cu2+ ions.

Authors: Ishihara Tatsumi , Sato Keiji , Mizuhara Yukako , Takita Yusaku 
Published: May 2006

Abstract
The electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method was applied for the preparation of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) films for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Dense YSZ films with uniform thickness can be readily prepared by EPD method. When the planar SOFC was fabricated by using La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 as a cathode and electroless plating Pt as an anode, the open circuit voltage and the maximum power density attained were 1.03 V and 1.87 Wcm−2, respectively.

Published: May 2006

Abstract
erythro-α,β-Epoxy alcohols were prepared with high stereoselectivity by sodium borohydride reduction of the corresponding α,β-epoxy ketones in the presence of calcium chloride or manganese(II) chloride regardless of the substituents on the epoxide ring.
Selective Retention for Structural Isomers in Aqueous Liquid Chromatography Using Poly(γ-Methyl L-Glutamate) Spherical Particles
Authors: Hirayama Chuichi , Ihara Hirotaka , Nagaoka Shoji , Syono Tadayoshi 
Published: May 2006

Abstract
Poly(γ-methyl L-glutamate) spherical particles having micropores showed higher retention capacity for n-isomers of alcohols (with remarkable temperature dependencies) than for tert-isomers in the aqueous liquid chromatography. No similar temperature dependence was observed for either spherical particles having macropores or alkyl-bonded silica gels.

Hate and Bias Crime: Criminologically Congruent Law? A Review of Barbara Perry's Hate and Bias Crime: A Reader
Authors: Gadd David 
Published: May 2006

Barbara Perry (2003) Hate and Bias Crime:A Reader Routledge: New York, 520 pp., ISBN 0415944082. The last decade of the 20th century has seen a flurry of hate crime legislation and other state activities, none of which have had an appreciable effect on the frequency or certainly the severity of hate crime. Such initiatives are insufficient responses to bias-motivated violence, in that they do not touch the underlying structures that support hate crime. Abdicating responsibility for countering such violence to the state, then, will not be a sufficiently effective long-term strategy. Rather, the responsibility must be shared and distributed across institutional and interactional levels. Moreover, the ultimate goal is not only to attack hate crime, but to disrupt the institutional and cultural assumptions about difference that condition hate crime. To the extent that difference is socially constructed, it can also be reconstructed (Perry, 2003, p. 387)

Genetic Similarity Shared by Best Friends Among Adolescents
Authors: Guo Guang 
Published: May 2006

AbstractTwo observations suggest a genetic similarity among close friends: (1) the observed similarity among friends in certain traits and behaviors; (2) the evidence that many of these traits and behaviors have a genetic component. This hypothesis is tested using monozygotic (MZ) twins, dizygotic (DZ) twins, full biological siblings, and their best friends from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). Whether the resemblance between MZ twins' friends is larger than that between friends of DZ twins and full siblings is investigated with respect to 4 individual traits or behaviors: grade point average (GPA), AHPVT (the version Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test [PPVT] designed for Add Health), aggressive behavior, and depression. Our hypothesis is supported in analyses among same-sex friends (not among different-sex friends) for GPA, aggressive behavior, and AHPVT.
‘It's Good to be Different’: Parent and Child Negotiations of ‘Twin’ Identity
Authors: Bacon Kate 
Published: May 2006

AbstractResearch on twins has tended to focus around the question of heredity/environment. As part of this, attention has been paid to how twins' family environments impact upon them. By examining twinship as a social identity, this article considers the social experience of twinship as it is framed by parent–child relations and also actively shaped by twins themselves. Sameness constitutes one central defining component of ‘twin’ identity within Western societies. In preparing their twins' bodies for public presentation, parents play a key role in communicating twin identity on their children's behalf. However, children also construct and convey their own identities through presenting their bodies in certain ways. Drawing on findings from a small-scale qualitative study of twinship, this article examines how twin identity is created, modified and reproduced by parents and child twins. It highlights the active role that twins take in constructing their own identities and in shaping the ‘twin situation’.
Twins and Their Friendships: Differences Between Monozygotic, Dizygotic Same-Sex and Dizygotic Mixed-Sex Pairs
Authors: Thorpe Karen , Gardner Karen 
Published: May 2006

AbstractThis study examined the influence of twin status (monozygotic [MZ], dizygotic same-sex [DZss] and dizygotic opposite-sex [DZos]) on friendship patterns. It examined the friendships of 60 children from 30 twin pairs, mean age 8 years, 4 months. The study sought to establish how number of friendships and degree to which these are shared vary according to twin status. Additionally, it sought to assess the children's meaning of shared friendship and to examine whether there were group differences according to twin status. Results indicated that, while number of friends did not vary, the degree to which friendships were shared was significantly associated with twin status. MZ children shared approximately 50% of their friends, DZss 25% and DZos 5%. Group patterns emerged from interviews with the children concerning shared friendships. MZ twins were characteristically positive or accepting about shared friends; DZos pairs shared fewer friends and were, therefore, less challenged by the twin situation in negotiating friendships; and DZss pairs were more diverse in their reaction with some expressing ambivalent or negative views about the twin situation and sharing of friendship. The results are presented in the light of their implications for twin children's developmental and scholastic progress.
Handedness in Twins: Joint Analysis of Data From 35 Samples
Authors: Medland Sarah E. , Duffy David L. , Wright Margaret J. , Geffen Gina M. , Martin Nicholas G. 
Published: May 2006

AbstractSimultaneous analysis of handedness data from 35 samples of twins (with a combined sample size of 21,127 twin pairs) found a small but significant additive genetic effect accounting for 25.47% of the variance (95% confidence interval [CI] 15.69–29.51%). No common environmental influences were detected (C = 0.00; 95% CI 0.00–7.67%), with the majority of the variance, 74.53%, explained by factors unique to the individual (95% CI 70.49–78.67%). No significant heterogeneity was observed within studies that used similar methods to assess handedness, or across studies that used different methods. At an individual level the majority of studies had insufficient power to reject a purely unique environmental model due to insufficient power to detect familial aggregation. This lack of power is seldom mentioned within studies, and has contributed to the misconception that twin studies of handedness are not informative.
Genetic Architecture of Smoking Behavior: A Study of Finnish Adult Twins

Published: May 2006

AbstractBoth genetic and environmental factors affect smoking initiation and maintenance, but less is known about the genetic architecture of various other smoking-related behaviors. The aim of this study is to examine the genetic architecture of smoking behavior in a large twin cohort. Questionnaires with an extensive smoking history section were mailed to same-sex adult twins of the Finnish twin cohort. The final study population included 2923 monozygotic and 6018 dizygotic twin pairs aged 24 to 88 years. Two-stage bivariate genetic modeling of age at initiation with amount smoked (less than 20 cigarettes per day vs. 20 or more) and age at initiation with smoking cessation was done by using the Mx statistical package. For men the heritability estimate for age at initiation was .59 (95% confidence interval [CI] .49–.69), for amount smoked .54 (95% CI .45–.62) and for smoking cessation .58 (95% CI .50–.65). For women the heritability estimates were .36 (95% CI .28–.43), .61 (95% CI .46–.70) and .50 (95% CI .39–.60), respectively. The genetic correlations between age at initiation and amount smoked or smoking cessation were at most .22 in magnitude, indicating that genetic influences in age at initiation accounted for at most about 4% of the genetic factors in amount smoked or in cessation. Genetic factors are important in amount smoked and smoking cessation and they are largely independent of genetic influences on age at initiation. This has implications for defining phenotypes in searches for genes underlying smoking behaviors.
Angiotensinogen G(–6)A Polymorphism Is Associated With the Elevation of Blood Pressure in the Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy

Published: May 2006

AbstractThe objective of the present study was to determine whether angiotensinogen G(–6)A polymorphism is associated with the elevation of blood pressure (BP) in the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in Korean population. The subjects included 201 cases with the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and 160 healthy controls. The medical records of subjects were reviewed. Cases were classified into the four subtypes (transient hypertension, preeclampsia, chronic hypertension, and preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension) by the diagnostic criteria suggested by the National High Blood Pressure Education Program Working Group. Cases were also divided into the high and low BP group by the elevation of BP (diastolic BP greater than or equal to 110 mmHg). Maternal angiotensinogen G(–6)A polymorphism was determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism. Frequencies of AA genotype were significantly higher in the high than in the low BP group in the preeclampsia, superimposed preeclampsia, and the combined group (N = 201), suggesting that the angiotensinogen G(–6)A allele was significantly associated with the elevation of BP in the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy among South Korean women. The present findings imply that the elevation of BP can serve as an endophenotype for a spectrum of hypertensive conditions in pregnancy.
Social Development of Twins
Authors: DiLalla Lisabeth Fisher 
Published: May 2006

AbstractThis project sought to examine 2 competing hypotheses: first, that twins are likely to be more prosocial by virtue of growing up with another same-age peer in the home, or second, that they are less prosocial because they have become more comfortable interacting with a same-age peer who is both genetically and environmentally similar to themselves and therefore they are less comfortable with other children who are dissimilar. Two studies were conducted to compare twins to singletons on measures of prosocial and aggressive behaviors. In Study 1, 5-year-olds (N = 91 twins and N = 152 singletons) engaged in a peer play situation with an unfamiliar, same-age, same-sex peer, and they were rated on items assessing prosocial and aggressive behaviors. Results showed that twins were less prosocial but not more aggressive than were singletons. In Study 2, which was a supplemented follow-up study of twins in Study 1, 10- to 15-year-old twins (N = 98) and singletons (N = 84) were rated by their parents on prosocial and aggressive behaviors. No significant differences were found between the groups on prosocial behavior, but twins were rated as more aggressive than singletons. Thus, in early childhood twins appear to exhibit fewer prosocial behaviors with unfamiliar peers, but this prosocial deficit was not aligned with parent-reported prosocial behaviors in adolescence. In adolescence, twins were rated by parents as more aggressive. These studies suggest that twins may be at risk for poorer social interactions in early and middle childhood.
Automated judgment of document qualities

Published: May 2006

AbstractThe authors report on a series of experiments to automate the assessment of document qualities such as depth and objectivity. The primary purpose is to develop a quality‐sensitive functionality, orthogonal to relevance, to select documents for an interactive question‐answering system. The study consisted of two stages. In the classifier construction stage, nine document qualities deemed important by information professionals were identified and classifiers were developed to predict their values. In the confirmative evaluation stage, the performance of the developed methods was checked using a different document collection. The quality prediction methods worked well in the second stage. The results strongly suggest that the best way to predict document qualities automatically is to construct classifiers on a person‐by‐person basis.
Handedness control of peptide helices by amino acid side‐chain chirality: Ile/aIle peptides
Authors: Andreetto Erika , Peggion Cristina , Crisma Marco , Toniolo Claudio 
Published: May 2006

AbstractA set of four hexapeptide sequences, each characterized by four strongly helicogenic Aib residues and all combinations of two isomeric Ile/aIle residues at positions 2 and 5, was synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. A detailed solution (by FT–IR absorption, NMR, and CD techniques) and solid/crystalline state (by X‐ray diffraction) conformational investigation allowed us to validate our assumption that all four peptides are folded in well‐developed 310‐helical structures. However, the most relevant conformational conclusion extracted from the present 3D‐analysis is that the handedness of the 310‐helical structures formed does not seem to be sensitive to the configurational change at the β‐carbon atom of the constituent Ile versus the diastereomeric aIle residues (in other words, the dominant control on this important structural parameter appears to be exerted by the chirality of the amino acid α‐carbon atom). These results complement published findings on the diverging relative stabilities of the intermolecularly H‐bonded β‐sheet structures generated by Ile versus aIle homo‐oligopeptides. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: May 2006

Abstract

Background
This study evaluated the ability of combined endoscopic and laparoscopic ultrasonography to predict R0 resection and avoid unnecessary surgery in patients with upper gastrointestinal tract cancer (UGIC).

Methods
A total of 411 consecutive patients with UGIC (182 pancreatic cancers, 134 gastric cancers and 95 oesophageal cancers) treated between January 2002 and May 2004 were analysed prospectively. The allocation of patients into resectability groups by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and laparoscopic ultrasonography (LUS) was compared with the treatment actually undertaken.

Results
The combination of EUS and LUS correctly predicted R0 resection in 90·6 per cent, R1–R2 in 91 per cent and irresectability in 91·4 per cent of patients. Ten patients (2·4 per cent) had explorative laparotomy only. There were no complications associated with the EUS and LUS procedures.

Conclusion
The routine use of EUS and LUS before surgery predicted R0 resection in nine of ten patients and reduced the number of unnecessary laparotomies to less than 3 per cent.
