Hydrodynamics and sediment flux of hoa in an Indian Ocean atoll
Authors: Kench P. S. , McLean R. F. 
Published: July 2004

AbstractDetailed hydrodynamic and sediment ﬂux measurements are reported from 11 hoa (shallow cross‐reef channels) in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Indian Ocean. All hoa exhibit unidirectional oceanside reef to lagoon ﬂuxes. These currents are driven by tides, wave set‐up and incident waves, and the presence of islands that generate alongshore gradients so that currents ﬂow toward the topographic low points of hoa entrances in the reef rim. Two functional groups of hoa are identiﬁed that extend Chevalier's typology of hoa and possess different process signatures. Sediment‐limited hoa (SLH) are efﬁcient conduits of sediment transport. They are located close to the reef rim where incident wave energy propagates across the reef crest into the hoa and is able to entrain sediment. Transport‐limited hoa (TLH) are characterized by low rates of sediment transport because incident wave energy is negligible as they are located much further from the reef edge than SLH. In the absence of an entrainment mechanism the oceanside reef ﬂat is laden with sediment. Storm energy increases transport efﬁciency through hoa. However, the net sedimentation response differs between the two hoa types. Proximity to the reef edge means that frequent storms ﬂush sediment from SLH increasing hoa depth and enhancing the potential for erosion of the conglomerate boundary. In contrast, the greater reef width fronting TLH means that sediment transport from reef ﬂats to the lagoon is only activated during infrequent storms. The contrasting process signatures account for morphological differences between sediment‐limited hoa (lagoonward decrease in depth and increase in width), and transport‐limited hoa (lagoonward increase in depth). The number and type of functional hoa are found to have signiﬁcant implications for the rate of lagoon sedimentation in enclosed atolls. In general, an increase in frequency of functional hoa and increased proportion of SLH will promote more rapid rates of lagoon inﬁll. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Back to our future? The Consensus Conference and Combined‐Integrated model of doctoral training in professional psychology
Authors: Shealy Craig N. , Cobb Harriet C. , Crowley Susan L. , Nelson Paul , Peterson Gary 
Published: July 2004

AbstractIs it possible and advisable for the profession of psychology to articulate and endorse a common, generalist, and integrative framework for the education and training of its students? At the Consensus Conference on Combined and Integrated Doctoral Training in Psychology, held at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA (USA), May 2 to 4, 2003, participants from across the spectrum of education and training in professional psychology ultimately answered “yes.” This article, the first in this special series on the Consensus Conference and Combined‐Integrated (C‐I) model of doctoral training in professional psychology, essentially provides an overview of the conference rationale, participants, goals, proceedings, and results. Because the other 12 articles in this series all reference the Consensus Conference and C‐I model, this overview provides a good starting point for understanding what occurred at the conference, what it means to educate and train from a C‐I perspective, and what the potential implications of such a model might be for the profession of psychology. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractHealth care providers within psychology currently fall into three dominant practice areas: clinical, counseling, and school psychology. This article reviews data from four different sources—archival descriptions, training curricula, internship and employment outcomes, and professional activities—to examine the overlap among the three practice areas. Archival descriptions revealed substantial similarities, with smaller but interesting differences. A comparison of actual curricula from 10 programs accredited in each of the three practice areas yielded similar findings: Programs across the three practice areas were much more similar than different. Within‐practice area variations among programs were nearly as large as across‐practice area differences. We briefly review the professional activities of clinical, counseling, and school psychologists, again demonstrating considerable similarity. We conclude by explaining implications for doctoral training programs, internships settings, and professional credentialing. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol.
Voices of the five doctoral training councils in psychology: Seeking common ground on Combined‐Integrated doctoral training in psychology

Published: July 2004

AbstractDoctoral training programs in psychology are accredited by the American Psychological Association in four areas: Clinical, Counseling, School, and Combined‐Integrated (C‐I) psychology. Each area of doctoral preparation in psychology has its own council, which represents its interests within the field and to external constituents. Despite the fact that Combined‐Integrated training programs have existed since the mid‐1970s, the Consortium representing this area's interests only formed in the past two years. The purpose of this article was to obtain input from representatives of all five training councils regarding the role of the newly formed council in relation to the other councils and the role of Combined‐Integrated training. We begin with a brief description of each of the five councils. We then summarize the representatives' responses to narrative questions regarding advantages and disadvantages associated with meeting to discuss the combined model. Finally, common and divergent themes across the councils in training psychologists are presented, and the future role for Combined‐Integrated programs is discussed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Consensus Conference and Combined‐Integrated model of doctoral training in professional psychology— Overview of Part 1: Nature and scope of the Combined‐Integrated model
Authors: Shealy Craig N. 
Published: July 2004

AbstractThis special series of articles on the Consensus Conference and Combined‐Integrated (C‐I) model of doctoral training in professional psychology consists of 13 articles in two successive volumes of the Journal of Clinical Psychology. Six articles are presented in Part 1 (Vol. 60, Issue 9), which collectively describe the “nature and scope” of the C‐I model (e.g., historic and definitional issues; the potential advantages of this model; implications for the profession). In Part 2 of this special series (Vol. 60, Issue 10), articles 7 through 12 address the broader implications and potential applications of the C‐I model within a range of professional and societal contexts (e.g., for interprofessional collaboration; the health care field; development of a global curriculum; the unified psychology movement; issues of assessment and professional identity; and higher education); article 13 provides a summary of the series as well as a discussion of future directions. As an overview, this paper provides the abstract for each of the articles in Part 1, and describes the various topics of the articles in Part 2. Taken together, the articles in this special series are designed to provide a coherent account of how and why the C‐I model is timely and relevant, and therefore warrants serious consideration by the larger education and training community in professional psychology. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Increased expression of nitric oxide synthase in visual structures of the chick brain after retinal removal
Authors: Torrão Andréa S. , Britto Luiz R.G. 
Published: July 2004

AbstractNitric oxide (NO) seems to act as a retrograde messenger in the establishment and refinement of synaptic connections during development and in neural plasticity processes in adult life. Previous studies have shown that the expression of NO synthase (NOS) in the optic tectum of developing chicks is regulated by the retinal innervation. The aim of this study was to observe the effects of unilateral retinal lesions upon the expression of NOS in central visual areas of the adult chick brain. After different survival times (1–30 days), the chick brains were submitted to immunohistochemical, immunoblotting, and NO imaging procedures to evaluate NOS expression and activity. Our results indicate that NOS expression in visual areas is also regulated by retinal innervation in the adult chick. However, differently from the case in the developing animal, the deafferentation seems to generate an increase of the NOS expression in retinorecipient visual areas. Our results suggest that NOS expression in visual structures of the adult chick brain may be down‐regulated by the retinal innervation. Alternatively, the increase of NOS expression observed after retinal removal could be an indicative of a role of the NO system in plasticity processes. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Who's afraid of that ad? Applying segmentation to the protection motivation model
Authors: Arthur Damien , Quester Pascale 
Published: July 2004

AbstractThe protection motivation model has contributed usefully to researchers' understanding of fear appeals in advertising. However, the empirical evidence reported to date in the literature has been mixed. This article proposes and tests a revised model including two segmenting variables as a means to resolve some of the differences evident in past research. With the use of data derived from an experimental study of juveniles' response to a range of antismoking advertising treatments, empirical support was found for the mediating role of fear in predicting behavioral intentions and for the influence of individual differences. The results, however, did not confirm the moderating role of response or self‐efficacy. Future research is clearly needed to further validate the revised protection motivation model. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Means–end analysis: Does the affective state influence information processing style?
Authors: Huber Frank , Beckmann Suzanne C. , Herrmann Andreas 
Published: July 2004

AbstractMeans–end theory aims at explaining how consumers evaluate products by linking relevant attributes to perceived consequences to desired ends in a hierarchical way, based on core assumptions of cognitive psychology about human information processing. This study investigates the influence of affective states on information processing styles in a means–end measurement situation, thus taking into account an important antecedent and correlate of human decision making and behavior that has received scarce attention so far in the methodological literature on means–end chains. The results reveal that a person's affective state indeed influences the style of information processing. Respondents in a positive mood used more general knowledge structures and processed the laddering questionnaire faster than respondents in a negative or neutral mood. The laddering technique, which measures means–end chains, thus seems to be sensitive to situational effects, and this finding indicates that affective states then also might have an influence on product knowledge and the decision‐making process in a purchase situation. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Untersuchungen zur Ermittlung der Dehnratenabhängigkeit von modernen Karosseriestählen
Authors: Bleck W. , Frehn A. , Larour P. , Steinbeck G. 
Published: July 2004

AbstractIn einem Projekt, das gemeinsam von der Automobil‐ und Stahlindustrie durchgeführt wurde, stand u. a. die Ermittlung der dynamischen Eigenschaften von Karosseriestählen im Mittelpunkt. Hierfür wurden 20 Stähle für Feinblech in dynamischen Zugversuchen bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen (‐40, 23 und 100 °C) und Dehnraten (1, 20, 250 und 500 s‐1) im Anlieferungszustand und zusätzlich in verschiedenen Vorverformungs‐ und Wärmebehandlungszuständen untersucht. Es zeigte sich eine unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägte Temperatur‐ und Dehnratenabhängigkeit für einzelne Stahlgruppen. Niedrig legierte ferritische Stähle offenbarten bei niedrigen Prüftemperaturen in Kombination mit hohen Prüfgeschwindigkeiten ein deutlich reduziertes Verfestigungspotenzial. Andererseits wiesen Mehrphasen‐Stähle dieses Verhalten nicht auf; auch bei dieser Parameterkonstellation wurde eine erhebliche Verfestigungsneigung festgestellt. Die Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, wie wichtig experimentell ermittelte Daten für die FEM‐Crashsimulation sind. Dabei bleibt es unerlässlich, die Daten in dynamischen Zugversuchen im relevanten Temperatur‐ und Geschwindigkeitsbereich zu ermitteln, da eine Interpolation der Daten aus dem quasistatischen Zugversuch zu erheblichen Fehlinterpretationen des Werkstoffverhaltens führen kann.

Parkinson's disease home diary: Further validation and implications for clinical trials
Authors: Hauser Robert A. , Deckers Frieda , Lehert Philippe 
Published: July 2004

AbstractWe provide further validation of a Parkinson's disease (PD) home diary and explore implications for practical use in clinical trials. We previously developed and published a home PD diary that includes the categories ASLEEP, off, on without dyskinesia, on with nontroublesome dyskinesia, and on with troublesome dyskinesia [Hauser et al., J Clin Neuropharmacol 2000;23:75–81] and demonstrated that patients generally consider off time and on time with troublesome dyskinesia “bad time” and on time without dyskinesia or with nontroublesome dyskinesia “good time”. We suggested that that on time without dyskinesia or with nontroublesome dyskinesia would be an appropriate outcome measure in clinical trials of advanced PD patients. In the current study, PD patients with motor fluctuations and dyskinesia (present more than 25% of the awake day and at least moderately disabling) completed daily diaries on 3 consecutive days in each of 2 consecutive weeks. In addition, patients provided responses to five questions regarding dyskinesia and their motor response through the day on visual analog scales (VAS). Three hundred two patients from 10 countries participated. Eighty‐three percent (n = 252) completed six diaries without missing or duplicate entries. Seventy‐six percent of the missing or duplicate entries occurred after Day 3. Mean percent of the awake day on without dyskinesia or with nontroublesome dyskinesia (“good on”, ONG%) was observed to be very stable over time (repeated measure analysis of variance, P = 0.99). Coefficients of reliability as calculated by Cronbach's α were as follows: 2 days, r = 0.806; 3 days, r = 0.868; 4 days, r = 0.918; 5 days, r = 0.934; 6 days, r = 0.946. The standard error of measurement (SEM) was calculated to be 10.75%. VAS responses to the question, “How much of the day today did you experience a good response?” more strongly correlated with ONG% (0.41) than ON% (0.24). The diary appears to be sufficiently simple and feasible. Test–retest reliability was good, and reliability increased with increasing number of diary days but compliance diminished beyond 3 days. Good on time (ONG = on time without dyskinesia or with nontroublesome dyskinesia) most strongly correlated with patients' perceived duration of a good response through the day and is an important outcome variable. © 2004 Movement Disorder Society
Transfer of brachialis branch of musculocutaneous nerve for finger flexion: Anatomic study and case report
Authors: Gu Yudong , Wang Huan , Zhang Liyin , Zhang Gaomeng , Zhao Xin , Chen Lin 
Published: July 2004

AbstractBased on an anatomic study, a transfer of the brachialis muscle branch of the musculocutaneous nerve (BMBMCN) to finger flexor functional fascicles of the median nerve was designed. Preliminary results of clinical application of this new procedure are reported. Dissection of 32 cadaver upper limbs revealed that BMBMCN derives from the musculocutaneous nerve at the distal 1/3 upper arm level. Mostly it is of single‐branch type, with an average dissectable length of 5.2 cm. At this level, functional fascicles of finger flexors are located at the posterior 1/3 of the median nerve. BMBMCN can be directly coapted to these finger flexion fascicles. In one case of brachial plexus lower trunk injury, this neurotization procedure was done. No impairment of elbow flexion and wrist flexion was found postoperatively. Recovery of finger and thumb flexion was seen 1 year postoperatively. This neurotization is safe and effective for treating lower trunk injuries. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. Microsurgery 24:1–5, 2004.
Proteasomal activity in mammalian spermatozoa
Authors: Pizarro Eduardo , Pastén Consuelo , Kong Milene , Morales Patricio 
Published: July 2004

AbstractThe proteasome is a multicatalytic cellular complex, which possess three different enzymatic activities, trypsin‐like, chymotrypsin‐like, and peptidylglutamyl peptidase. Its function is to remove abnormal or aged proteins. Recently, it has been suggested the participation of the sperm proteasome during mammalian fertilization. In this study, we present evidence that indicates that sperm extracts from several mammalian species, including hamster, mice, rats, bovine, rabbits, and humans all possess proteasome activity. We characterized the three specific activities of the proteasome using specific synthetic substrates and specific proteasome inhibitors. The results indicates that the highest specific activity detected was in mouse sperm toward the trypsin substrates and it was 1,114% of the activity of human sperm toward the chymotrypsin substrate Suc‐Leu‐Leu‐Val‐Tyr‐AMC (SLLVY‐AMC, which was considered as 100%). In all cases, the lowest activity was toward substrates for the peptidylglutamyl peptidase hydrolyzing activity, and it was lowest for rabbit sperm (1.7% of the activity of human sperm toward the chymotrypsin substrate SLLVY‐AMC). In addition, specific proteasome inhibitors were able to block all proteasome activities almost 100%, with the exception of clasto‐Lactacystin β‐lactone upon rat sperm. All sperm extracts tested evidenced bands of about 29–32 kDa by Western blots using a monoclonal antibody against proteasome subunits α1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7. In conclusion, sperm from several mammals possess enzymatic activities that correspond to the proteasome. The proteasome from the different species hold similar but distinctive enzymatic characteristics. Mol. Reprod. Dev. 69: 87–93, 2004. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Rapid and improved method for windowing eggs accessing the stage X chicken embryo
Authors: Andacht Tracy , Hu Wei , Ivarie Robert 
Published: July 2004

AbstractThe chick stage X blastoderm is routinely accessed through a small window in a freshly laid egg. However, windowing severely compromises embryo survival with hatch rates as low as a few percent. We previously reported a simple modification to the standard method that reduced introduction of air into the sealed egg and improved the hatchability to 32%. Here, we describe an even simpler and more rapid method for sealing a windowed egg using hot glue or paraffin in which the hatch rate increased to an average of 63% of the unwindowed control eggs. The primary reason for low hatchability can be attributed to air trapped within the egg during windowing and/or leakage during incubation, as shown by increased lethality by artificially introducing air into windowed and sealed eggs. Although the hatch rate was considerably improved, air can still enter the egg during incubation and is likely to account for less than 100% hatchability of the sealed eggs. The success of this new windowing method will facilitate high throughput for the production of transgenic birds and find use in developmental biology, toxicity testing, and avian disease research.

Published: July 2004

AbstractThe identification of embryo‐specific genes would provide insights into early embryonic development. However, the current methods employed to identify the genes that are expressed at a specific developmental stage are labor intensive and suffer from high rates of false positives. Here we employed a new and accurate reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) technology that involves annealing control primers (ACPs) to identify the genes that are specifically or prominently expressed in bovine early blastocysts and hatched blastocysts produced in vitro. Using these techniques, a total of nine expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of genes that were differentially expressed in hatched blastocysts, as compared to blastocyst embryos, were cloned and sequenced. The cloned genes or ESTs (C1–C9) all exhibited significant sequence similarity with known bovine genes (99–100%; FTL, RPS12, LAPTM4a, and RPL12) or ESTs (80–94%; AIBP, CULLIN‐1, HDLP, COX5a, and RECS1) of other species. As revealed by real time RT‐PCR, these genes were regulated upstream in the hatched blastocyst stage during early implantation. These results suggest that this new, PCR‐based differential display RT‐PCR technique is a very useful tool for the identification of stage‐specific genes of preimplantation embryos. Mol. Reprod.

AbstractPCR products of 1.1 and 0.9 kb were generated using Cherax quadricarinatus genomic DNA in the first case, and hepatopancreas and ovary cDNAs in the second case. These PCR products were cloned and analyzed for nucleotide sequences. The 1.1 kb fragment was used as a probe for Northern hybridization, revealing a transcript of approximately 8 kb in both tissues. Results from both Northern blot and RT‐PCR analyses showed that the mRNA enconding the 3′ end of the vitellogenin cDNA was present simultaneously in both hepatopancreas and ovary tissues in secondary vitellogenic at first maturation females, but was not detected in male hepatopancreas. The deduced amino acid sequences of Vitellogenin (Vg) cDNAs from ovary and hepatopancreas confirmed the existence at least two different Vg genes, and two different sites of synthesis. Mol. Reprod.
