description: Tinnitus is a complex and heterogeneous psycho-physiological disorder responsible for causing a phantom ringing or buzzing sound albeit the absence of an external sound source. It has a direct influence on affecting the quality of life of its sufferers. Despite being around for a while, there has not been a cure for tinnitus, and the usual course of action for its treatment involves use of tinnitus retaining and sound therapy, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). One positive aspect about these therapies is that they can be administered face-to-face as well as delivered via internet or smartphone. Smartphones are especially helpful as they are highly personalized devices, and offer a well-established ecosystem of apps, accessible via respective marketplaces of differing mobile platforms. Note that current therapeutic treatments such as CBT have shown to be effective in suppressing the tinnitus symptoms when administered face-to-face, their effectiveness when being delivered using smartphones is not known so far. A quick search on the prominent market places of popular mobile platforms (Android and iOS) yielded roughly 250 smartphone apps offering tinnitus-related therapies and tinnitus management. As this number is expected to steadily increase due to high interest in smartphone app development, a contemporary review of such apps is crucial. In this paper, we aim to review scientific studies validating the smartphone apps, particularly to test their effectiveness in tinnitus management and treatment. We use the PRISMA guidelines for identification of studies on major scientific literature sources and delineate the outcomes of identified studies.

description: The analogs of optical elements in light-pulse atom interferometers are generated from the interaction of matter waves with light fields. As such, these fields possess quantum properties, which fundamentally lead to a reduced visibility in the observed interference. This loss is a consequence of the encoded information about the atom’s path. However, the quantum nature of the atom-optical elements also gives an additional degree of freedom to reduce such effects: We demonstrate that entanglement between all light fields can be used to erase information about the atom’s path and by that to partially recover the visibility. Thus, our work highlights the role of complementarity on atom-interferometric experiments.

description: The deubiquitination of histone H2A on lysine 119 by 2A-DUB/MYSM1, BAP1, USP16, and other enzymes is required for key cellular processes, including transcriptional activation, apoptosis, and cell cycle control, during normal hematopoiesis and tissue development, and in tumor cells. Based on our finding that MYSM1 colocalizes with γH2AX foci in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, leukemia cells, and melanoma cells upon induction of DNA double-strand breaks with topoisomerase inhibitor etoposide, we applied a mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach to identify novel 2A-DUB/MYSM1 interaction partners in DNA-damage responses. Differential display of MYSM1 binding proteins significantly enriched after exposure of 293T cells to etoposide revealed an interacting network of proteins involved in DNA damage and replication, including factors associated with poor melanoma outcome. In the context of increased DNA-damage in a variety of cell types in Mysm1-deficient mice, in bone marrow cells upon aging and in UV-exposed Mysm1-deficient skin, our current mass spectrometry data provide additional evidence for an interaction between MYSM1 and key DNA replication and repair factors, and indicate a potential function of 2A-DUB/MYSM1 in DNA repair processes.

description: An experiment was done to look at the effect baseball seams can have on how a pitched baseball moves in flight. Both non-spinning and spinning baseballs were analyzed in this study. Data was taken and analyzed at 60, 90, and 110 MPH to determine the influence of velocity and altitude on the ability of seams to alter the trajectory of a pitched baseball. Additionally, a ball's spin causes movement in a certain direction that is dependent on the spin axis. A second focus of this study was on the effect of baseball seams changing the movement in the same direction as the movement caused by a ball's spin. Taking and analyzing data of the air flow around a spinning baseball in flight led to the finding of specific areas of the baseball's surface where a seam can change this movement. These experiments were done using official MLB baseballs moving at 90 MPH and spinning at 1300, 1800, and 2300 RPM.

Exploring options and increasing confidence in turning 'stunted growth' firms round: Trials with a management simulator

description: Previous work has identified a distinctive group of small companies, and especially micro-firms, which have survived many years providing their owners with acceptable returns and lifestyles, but which have remained very small despite having significant growth - the so-called ’dwarf’ or ’stunted growth’ small firms (in Italian nanismo aziendale). This paper is the third in a series which has described the role and construction of simulation models that could aid the entrepreneur-owners of such companies to break out from the constraints holding them back, or even keep their firms stable enough by promptly perceiving changes in the relevant environment. Simulations described in the second paper confirmed that the application of relatively simple changes could enable a stunted firm to move onto a growth or stability trajectory, and it reviewed a number of different scenario possibilities. Further, the model was also developed into an easy-to-use Interactive Learning Environment or ’management ﬂight simulator’ tool which, it was suggested, could be used directly by small company owners, and one scenario case was analysed via the simulator to demonstrate its potential use. While the research presented to date has highlighted the issues in such companies, and has suggested that in many situations relatively simple changes only might be needed to unleash the growth potential of such firms, effecting such changes is not likely to be that ”simple” in real life. It has to be possible for affected owner-entrepreneurs to understand a number of factors: that there is a problem (or opportunity), that there are real constraints on growth and how they have arisen, that simple changes might offer solutions, and that real benefits might ensue. This paper describes first field trials with the simulator. It describes interviews and trials with small firm owner-entrepreneurs to confirm that the simulator concept is generally acceptable, and that the simulations are life-like enough for entrepreneurs to be inﬂuenced by its outcomes.
title: Shallow Composition and Structure of the San Gabriel Fault, California in Drill Core and Geophysical Logs: Implications for Fault Slip and Energetics
Creators: name: Crouch, Kaitlyn A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Earthquakes are the sudden and intensive release of energy due to slip along faults. This energy may be felt on the Earth’s surface and may cause displacement of the Earth’s crust (seismic slip). As an earthquake ruptures, rocks in and around the fault are damaged and altered. When a fault displaces without earthquakes, it is referred to as aseismic creep. Faults may experience both seismic slip and aseismic creep throughout their cycles. In order to better model earthquake hazards and understand the cause of seismic slip versus aseismic creep in the shallow crust, we need to characterize the properties of the altered and damaged fault-related rocks.
The San Gabriel fault in California is an ancient strike-slip fault, similar to the modern San Andreas fault, that accommodated slip millions of years ago. In this project, we examine field samples and drill core drilled through the fault-related rocks that formed in the San Gabriel fault at depths of 2-2.5 km. We integrate various techniques to examine the altered and damaged fault-related rock at the mesoscopic (hand sample size) to the microscopic scale in order to characterize the properties of the fault-related rock. Synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (XRF) mapping, a new technique in the examination of shallow faults, allows us to scan surfaces of fault-related rocks and map element location and concentration in the samples. The results document hydrothermal-assisted processes that alter the fault-related rock. We identify deformation and alteration mechanisms that indicate that shallow SGF accommodates both seismic slip (earthquakes) and aseismic creep processes. We suggest that seismic slip versus aseismic creep behavior is influenced by fluid-assisted processes visible in the fault-related rocks at the mesoscopic and microscopic scales and the formation of and changes in clay minerals. This work can be used to better model earthquake hazards in active faults, such as the San Andreas fault in California.

description: Die Stickstoffdioxid-Konzentrationen in der Außenluft in Deutschland führen zu erheblichen Gesundheitsbelastungen. Dies zeigt eine Studie des Umweltbundesamts (UBA). Demnach lassen sich für das Jahr 2014 statistisch etwa 6.000 vorzeitige Todesfälle aufgrund von Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen auf die Stickstoffdioxid-Hintergrund-Belastung im ländlichen und städtischen Raum zurückführen. Die Studie zeigt außerdem: Die Belastung mit Stickstoffdioxid steht im Zusammenhang mit Krankheiten wie Diabetes mellitus, Bluthochdruck, Schlaganfall, der chronisch obstruktiven Lungenerkrankung (COPD) und Asthma. Die Studie zeigt unter anderem, dass acht Prozent der bestehenden Diabetes mellitus-Erkrankungen in Deutschland im Jahr 2014 auf Stickstoffdioxid in der Außenluft zurückzuführen waren. Dies entspricht etwa 437.000 Krankheitsfällen. Bei bestehenden Asthmaerkrankungen liegt der prozentuale Anteil der Erkrankungen, die auf die Belastung mit NO2 zurückzuführen sind, mit rund 14 Prozent sogar noch höher. Dies entspricht etwa 439.000 Krankheitsfällen. Quelle: www.youtube.com

description: Introduction Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can be used to map disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and therefore is a promising candidate for a biomarker in ALS. To this end, longitudinal study protocols need to be optimized and validated regarding group sizes and time intervals between visits. The objective of this study was to assess the influences of sample size, the schedule of follow-up measurements, and measurement uncertainties on the statistical power to optimize longitudinal DTI study protocols in ALS. Patients and methods To estimate the measurement uncertainty of a tract-of–interest-based DTI approach, longitudinal test-retest measurements were applied first to a normal data set. Then, DTI data sets of 80 patients with ALS and 50 healthy participants were analyzed in the simulation of longitudinal trajectories, that is, longitudinal fractional anisotropy (FA) values for follow-up sessions were simulated for synthetic patient and control groups with different rates of FA decrease in the corticospinal tract. Monte Carlo simulations of synthetic longitudinal study groups were used to estimate the statistical power and thus the potentially needed sample sizes for a various number of scans at one visit, different time intervals between baseline and follow-up measurements, and measurement uncertainties. Results From the simulation for different longitudinal FA decrease rates, it was found that two scans per session increased the statistical power in the investigated settings unless sample sizes were sufficiently large and time intervals were appropriately long. The positive effect of a second scan per session on the statistical power was particularly pronounced for FA values with high measurement uncertainty, for which the third scan per session increased the statistical power even further. Conclusion With more than one scan per session, the statistical power of longitudinal DTI studies can be increased in patients with ALS. Consequently, sufficient statistical power can be achieved even with limited sample sizes. An improved longitudinal DTI study protocol contributes to the detection of small changes in diffusion metrics and thereby supports DTI as an applicable and reliable non-invasive biomarker in ALS.

description: We present measurements of the anisotropic galaxy clustering from the Data Release 9 (DR9) CMASS sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). We analyse the broad-range shape of the monopole and quadrupole correlation functions to obtain constraints, at the effective redshift z = 0.57 of the sample, on the Hubble expansion rate H(z), the angular-diameter distance DA(z), the normalized growth rate f (z))σ8(z), the physical matter density Ωmh2, and the biased amplitude of matter fluctuation b)σ8(z). We obtain {H(0.57), DA(0.57), f (0.57))σ8(0.57), Ωmh2, bs8(0.57)} = {87.6+6.7 -6.8 kms-1 Mpc-1, 1396 ± 73 Mpc, 0.428 ± 0.066, 0.126+0.008 -0.010, 1.19 ± 0.14} and their covariance matrix as well. The parameters which are not well constrained by our galaxy clustering analysis are marginalized over with wide flat priors. Since no priors from other data sets [i.e. cosmic microwave background (CMB)] are adopted and no dark energy models are assumed, our results from BOSS CMASS galaxy clustering alone may be combined with other data sets, i.e. CMB, SNe, lensing or other galaxy clustering data to constrain the parameters of a given cosmological model. We show that the major power on constraining dark energy from the anisotropic galaxy clustering signal, as compared to the angular-averaged one (monopole), arises from including the normalized growth rate f (z)σ8(z). In the case of the cosmological model assuming a constant dark energy equation of state and a flat universe (wCDM), our single-probe CMASS constraints, combined with CMB (WMAP9+SPT), yield a value for the dark energy equation-of-state parameter of w =-0.90 ± 0.11. Therefore, it is important to include f (z)σ8(z) while investigating the nature of dark energy with current and upcoming large-scale galaxy surveys.
title: Characterizing the Migratory Phenology and Routes of the Lazuli Bunting (Passerina amoena) in Northern Utah
Creators: name: Savides, Kim
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Migratory species time their movements to follow changes in food and environmental resources throughout the year. Despite the ubiquity of migration in birds, little is still known about how birds select routes and time migrations. Recent advancements in miniaturized tracking devices now allow tracking of small birds throughout their annual life cycle, presenting opportunities for migratory ecology research at scales immeasurable in the past. Here we investigated the migratory ecology of a northern Utah, USA breeding population of Lazuli Bunting, a common songbird in western North America for which few migratory studies have been completed. We sought to compare breeding site arrival and departure of male and female buntings across an elevational gradient. We used encounter records of microchip-banded individuals visiting electronic birdfeeders to estimate migratory timings of each sex at high and low elevations. We additionally tagged a subset of birds with light sensing tags from which rough daily locations can be estimated throughout the year to determine where and how the individuals migrated.
We found males to arrive before females at low elevation, while no differences between sexes was found in birds arriving at high elevations. This difference questions traditionally held thoughts on why most male birds typically arrive earlier than females. Our results suggest arrival timing by sex may be driven by differences in constraints on migratory timing rather than evolutionary selection for earlier arrival by males. Our tracking data revealed that tagged individuals migrated south to western Mexico for the non-breeding season. We found little support for a mid-migration stopover long enough to complete an annual molt, as had been suggested for the species. During spring migration, we observed two distinct migratory patterns: a direct route north made by three individuals, and a looping route through California and Nevada made by two birds. The latter route was significantly longer in distance but not duration. These differences suggest routes may be selected by individuals to balance between length, duration, and food availability of migration routes based on individual conditions each bird experiences. Our results collectively highlight the importance of investigating migratory ecology at the individual level. Such investigations are necessary in understanding how individual birds migrate and are ultimately necessarily for effective conservation of birds throughout their annual cycles.

description: The design and implementation of audience-focused immersive media-rich physical environments is a familiar landscape within the commercial sphere. From theatre and theme parks to autoshows and airports, commercial interdisciplinary design and production teams have extended and solidified the new media agenda. The success of this track record is demonstrated by the increasing presence of commercial design techniques and knowledge in the creation of immersive new media within the cultural sphere, as proven by London's Natural History Museum, or the Melbourne Museum.This paper introduces the notion of digital cultural communication, a continuum through which designers can consider the place of narrative and experience and their attributes within public and commercial institutions. Digital cultural communication allows users to become co-creators of knowledge by providing tools and methods which enable the co-construction of creative artefacts. This paper uses a case study from Australia's rich cultural institution sector to illustrate the conceptual design of new media co-creative environment using an HCI-derived methodology supported by participatory action research. It is hoped that this method will demonstrate to curators of cultural experiences the cost-effective possibilities for enabling audiences to create rich narrative from user-led content.

description: This study attempts to establish employee satisfaction as an important KPI in telemarketing. A multi-method data collection was adopted to collect primary and secondary data for this study. Primary data was collected by the researcher as an employee of Company Y. This was done through informal talks with management and employees. Secondary data was collected through company questionnaires. The objectives of this study included the following: 1) to demonstrate the importance of employee satisfaction as a vital KPI tool in telemarketing, 2) to establish the relationship between employee-management relations through training, employee motivation, employee commitment, and employee satisfaction, 3) to measure these elements in Company Y, and 4) to provide recommendations on improving employee satisfaction levels within Company Y. Secondary data was collected from a sample of fifty-two questionnaires obtained from Company Y. The sample audience consisted of thirty-three men and nineteen women with a mean age of 21.42 years. Of the seventy-eight employees in the workforce, fiftytwo completed them, yielding a response rate of 66.7%. Participants were all current CSRs (Customer Service Representatives) in the month of February 2005. The external analysis consisted of an environmental scan, a competitive analysis, and a discussion of Company Y’s opportunities and threats. The internal analysis included a discussion of Company Y’s business profile, its management, and its strengths and weaknesses. Employee-management relations were established as the most important element behind employee satisfaction in Company Y. Recommendations were provided to improve employee-management relations as well as overall employee satisfaction.

description: Visual analytics are becoming increasingly important in the light of big data and related scenarios. Along this trend, the field of immersive analytics has been variously furthered as it is able to provide sophisticated visual data analytics on one hand, while preserving user-friendliness on the other. Furthermore, recent hardware developments such as smart glasses, as well as achievements in virtual-reality applications, have fanned immersive analytic solutions. Notably, such solutions can be very effective when they are applied to high-dimensional datasets. Taking this advantage into account, the work at hand applies immersive analytics to a high-dimensional production dataset to improve the digital support of daily work tasks. More specifically, a mixed-reality implementation is presented that will support manufacturers as well as data scientists to comprehensively analyze machine data. As a particular goal, the prototype will simplify the analysis of manufacturing data through the usage of dimensionality reduction effects. Therefore, five aspects are mainly reported in this paper. First, it is shown how dimensionality reduction effects can be represented by clusters. Second, it is presented how the resulting information loss of the reduction is addressed. Third, the graphical interface of the developed prototype is illustrated as it provides (1) a correlation coefficient graph, (2) a plot for the information loss, and (3) a 3D particle system. In addition, an implemented voice recognition feature of the prototype is shown, which was considered to be being promising to select or deselect data variables users are interested in when analyzing the data. Fourth, based on a machine learning library, it is shown how the prototype reduces computational resources using smart glasses. The main idea is based on a recommendation approach as well as the use of subspace clustering. Fifth, results from a practical setting are presented, in which the prototype was shown to domain experts. The latter reported that such a tool is actually helpful to analyze machine data daily. Moreover, it was reported that such a system can be used to educate machine operators more properly.

description: We analyse the 2D correlation function of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) CMASS sample of massive galaxies of the ninth data release to measure cosmic expansion H and the angular diameter distance D-A at a mean redshift of 〈z〉 = 0.57. We apply, for the first time, a new correlation function technique called clustering wedges ξΔμ(s). Using a physically motivated model, the anisotropic baryonic acoustic feature in the galaxy sample is detected at a significance level of 4.7σ compared to a featureless model. The baryonic acoustic feature is used to obtain model-independent constraints cz/H/rs = 12.28 ± 0.82 (6.7 percent accuracy) and DA/rs =  9.05 ± 0.27 (3.0 per cent) with a correlation coefficient of −0.5, where rs is the sound horizon scale at the end of the baryonic drag era. We conduct thorough tests on the data and 600 simulated realizations, finding robustness of the results regardless of the details of the analysis method. Combining this with rs constraints from the cosmic microwave background, we obtain H(0.57) = 90.8 ± 6.2 km s−1 Mpc−1 and DA(0.57) = 1386 ± 45 Mpc. We use simulations to forecast results of the final BOSS CMASS data set. We apply the reconstruction technique on the simulations demonstrating that the sharpening of the anisotropic baryonic acoustic feature should improve the detection as well as tighten constraints of H and DA by ∼30 per cent on average.

description: Zusammenfassung. Da Partizipation in der eigenen psychiatrischen Behandlung Jugendlicher sich mit zunehmender Bedeutung auch in der deutschen Gesetzgebung widerspiegelt, sollten Patientenzufriedenheitsbefragungen zunehmend eine Rolle spielen. Es wurden deswegen Veränderungen in Patientenzufriedenheitsbefragungen an insgesamt 6893 Patient_innen bei Entlassung aus zehn kinder- und jugendpsychiatrischen Kliniken mittels des Fragebogens zur Behandlungseinschätzung stationärer Therapie für Jugendliche (BesT-J) ausgewertet. Die Behandlungen erzielten eine gute Gesamtzufriedenheit, ohne dass über 7 Jahre eine Verbesserung eintrat. An sieben Kliniken wurden jährlich Befragungen durchgeführt und Differenzmaße zur Gesamtzufriedenheit bestimmt. Bei bereits guter Zufriedenheit mit der therapeutischen Beziehung verbesserte sich die Beziehung zu pädagogisch-pflegerischen Kräften im Untersuchungszeitraum. Entsprechend geänderter rechtlicher Vorgaben zu Patientenrechten und Freiheitsentziehung waren Verbesserungen in einigen Items der Partizipation und der Aufklärung (Zwangsmaßnahmen, abgesprochene Therapieziele) zu verzeichnen. Die Patient_innen waren mit der Aufklärung über ihre Erkrankung weniger zufrieden als mit der Aufklärung über die Medikation. Die mäßige Zufriedenheit mit Ausgangsregelungen verbesserte sich signifikant. Anders als die verbesserte Respektierung der Privatsphäre schnitten Umgebungsvariablen, Milieugestaltung sowie die Essensqualität wesentlich schlechter ab. Peerbeziehungen auf der Station erzielten Zufriedenheitswerte nahe der Gesamtzufriedenheit. Die Ergebnisse lassen Erfolge von Weiterbildungen in Psychotherapie und Sensibilisierung für Grenzüberschreitungen sowie hinsichtlich der Patientenrechte erkennen. Sie legen aber Verbesserungspotenziale hinsichtlich der Psychoedukation und der Ausgangsregelungen nahe. Ferner besteht aus Patientensicht ein erheblicher gestalterischer und baulicher Nachholbedarf.

title: A Randomized Controlled Trial on Using Peer-Support Coaching to Improve Adherence to Online Self-Help for College Mental Health

description: Online self-help programs can serve as accessible mental health resources, allowing users to learn skills for improving their mental health at their own pace. The self-guided nature of these programs allows them to be cost-efficient as compared to traditional therapy and appealing to those who do not want to attend traditional therapy due to stigma or low-perceived need. However, these programs also struggle with low adherence rates, with typically only a small subset of users completing a given program in full. Coaching has been previously explored as a way to increase program adherence, adding a low-intensity human component to self-help programs. Typically, graduate students or mental health professionals serve as coaches, but this is a resource-intensive approach that is difficult to scale-up. The present study tested the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of peer-support coaching, which would be feasible to scale-up on account of using undergraduate volunteers as coaches.
We conducted a randomized controlled trial with 230 participants assigned across three conditions. All conditions were instructed to use the online self-help program ACT Guide, with one additionally receiving weekly phone coaching, one receiving weekly text coaching, and one receiving no additional coaching. Participants who received either format of coaching completed significantly more modules and were more satisfied with ACT Guide than those who did not receive coaching. Significant improvements in mental health outcomes were observed within both coaching conditions, but a greater number of outcomes improved in the phone condition than the text condition. These findings shed light on peer-support coaching, particularly when delivered over phone calls, as a promising intervention for increasing adherence to and thus the effectiveness of online self-help programs.
title: Evaluation of Hydrograph Separation Techniques with Uncertain End-Member Composition

description: Changes to precipitation and temperature occurring as a result of climate change can influence water sources (such as groundwater or snowmelt) that contribute to stream flow in a watershed. This is significant, as shifts in the amount of water coming from different water sources can shape watershed management decisions. One technique often used to investigate changes in water sources is hydrograph separation, a mathematical tool that allows for the quantification of the amount of water that came from different water sources. However, it can be difficult to perform hydrograph separations in remote watersheds as there may be insufficient infrastructure, i.e. roads or research stations, to facilitate the detailed data collection needed for the application of hydrograph separation techniques. Thus, it is critical to understand how limited data may influence hydrograph separation and our understanding of how watersheds work and if they are changing. To explore uncertainty in the results, two different hydrograph separation methods were compared using geochemical data from the East River watershed located in the Elk Mountains of Central Colorado. Water sources were characterized using a limited set of concentration data collected at a few measurable water sources, and also by concentration data derived from stream chemistry at the outlet of the watershed. Results show that both hydrograph separation techniques gave similar estimate of annual source water contributions to stream flow. Results also indicate that using multiple hydrograph separation techniques and multiple ways of representing water sources may be useful in remote catchments that have limited data.

description: The Pulsar Arecibo L-band Feed Array (PALFA) Survey uses the ALFA 7-beam receiver to search both inner and outer Galactic sectors visible from Arecibo (32° ≲ ℓ ≲ 77°and 168°≲ ℓ ≲ 214°) close to the Galactic plane (|b| ≲ 5°) for pulsars. The PALFA survey is sensitive to sources fainter and more distant than have previously been seen because of Arecibo's unrivaled sensitivity. In this paper we detail a precursor survey of this region with PALFA, which observed a subset of the full region (slightly more restrictive in ℓ and |b| ≲ 1°) and detected 45 pulsars. Detections included 1 known millisecond pulsar and 11 previously unknown, long-period pulsars. In the surveyed part of the sky that overlaps with the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey (36°≲ ℓ ≲ 50°), PALFA is probing deeper than the Parkes survey, with four discoveries in this region. For both Galactic millisecond and normal pulsar populations, we compare the survey's detections with simulations to model these populations and, in particular, to estimate the number of observable pulsars in the Galaxy. We place 95% confidence intervals of 82,000 to 143,000 on the number of detectable normal pulsars and 9000 to 100,000 on the number of detectable millisecond pulsars in the Galactic disk. These are consistent with previous estimates. Given the most likely population size in each case (107,000 and 15,000 for normal and millisecond pulsars, respectively), we extend survey detection simulations to predict that, when complete, the full PALFA survey should have detected 1000+330 -230normal pulsars and 30 +200 -20millisecond pulsars. Identical estimation techniques predict 490+160 -115 that normal pulsars and 12+70 -5 millisecond pulsars would be detected by the beginning of 2014; at the time, the PALFA survey had detected 283 normal pulsars and 31 millisecond pulsars, respectively. We attribute the deficiency in normal pulsar detections predominantly to the radio frequency interference environment at Arecibo and perhaps also scintillation - both effects that are currently not accounted for in population simulation models.
